The crowd did not waste too much time. Driven by their quick thinking and pragmatic style, they quickly left the lounge and went to the church to look for information about the staff of the Evil Infant Court.
Originally, for the sake of improving efficiency, everyone should have dispersed to investigate, but for Zhang Jizu, such efficiency was insignificant compared to the purpose of participating in the trial. He only sought safety, so he always followed Cheng Shi.
When Scorpio saw the two big guys sticking together, he naturally wouldn't be stupid enough to leave, so he followed them.
Gao Ya's goal was not to be left alone, so she would not leave the team.
All in all, the four of them became conjoined twins.
Cheng Shi felt helpless, but there was nothing he could do, so he had to spend more time thinking about the means of investigation in order to improve efficiency.
Although the Inquisition appeared to be deserted, it was clear that people in the church were aware of the institution and were well aware of how it operated.
So Cheng Shi found a staff member who seemed easier to fool, pretended to be his colleague, and took him to an empty corner with the promise of a small benefit, and asked him everything about the court.
“The tribunal has not been abolished, but it is not functioning properly either.
There are indeed some staff members living there, but I advise you not to go in and disturb them no matter how curious you are."
"Why?"
"You really haven't heard of it. That shouldn't be the case. On the first day of joining the church, those church elders who take advantage of their seniority should have warned you. Are you... also here to get a salary?"
"Ah?" Cheng Shi was stunned, and nodded quickly, "You are really good at judging people!"
"Observing one's words and expressions is the way to get a foothold in the church. I have long seen that you are not a devout believer, but don't worry, I will not expose you, because I am not one either.
Don't look at me like that. People should be loyal. I admire all those who are not pious. The people behind us have already lost themselves and abandoned wisdom in their fanatical beliefs. People like you and me who are hypocritical are the truly independent and free people!
In all these years of church life, I have concluded that:
You can only choose two out of humanity, wisdom and faith.
You and I have both abandoned faith and chosen wisdom and humanity, so we are both smart people.
Of course, smart people also need to eat. I don’t think it’s excessive to pretend to be pious in order to eat. What do you think? "
Cheng Shi was stunned. He thought he had picked a fool at random, but he didn't expect that the other party was actually a thinker who could speak clearly and logically.
Master, you are so right. I understand.
As Cheng Shi's admiring gaze grew, the thinker became lost in thought. He continued to confide in the following words:
"That man is a cursed sinner. No matter how many people you ask, no one will tell you because only a few people know about it.
If it weren't for me... Shh, you can't tell anyone about this. If I hadn't sneaked into the leader's room, I wouldn't have known about this.
The establishment of the Inquisition actually had nothing to do with the so-called evil baby. It was a decision made by a certain church leader a hundred years ago out of a bit of personal compassion.
The institution was not originally called this name, but was called the Blasphemy Confession House. It is a bit complicated to explain the relationship between the two institutions. I don’t have much time to be lazy, so I will make it short. ”
Cheng Shi nodded secretly, thinking that this person was indeed enthusiastic, but he never expected that this person was not enthusiastic at all, but a pure chatterbox.
He hadn't shared his secret with anyone for a long time. Finally, he met someone who was interested, so he pulled Cheng Shi aside and talked to him for the entire afternoon.
Cheng Shi didn't want to interrupt him, because there was indeed something interesting in what this man said, but he added a lot of nonsense to the history of Dolgod, the ratio was about 10:1, 10 sentences of nonsense to 1 sentence of history.
Cheng Shishi had a headache listening to it, but he had to listen to it patiently. Finally, as the sun was setting, he figured out everything about the Evil Infant Court.
Coincidentally, this matter is also related to him.
Do you remember the female citizen who gave birth to a child using the [divine reproductive technique] that Cheng Shi delivered?
Although Cheng Shi's delivery was just a projection of the history of the Era of Life in the game, in real history this female citizen did give birth to the child, and this child was the leader mentioned by this talkative thinker.
As he grew up, he gradually realized that he was a Wuda rebel, but he did not object to this identity at all and even used the [Divine Breeding Technique] to continuously improve his status among the [Birth] believers. He successfully infiltrated the church and became the star of the church at that time.
He used all means to continuously publicize his piety and spread his offspring throughout the city. The church felt that he was practicing the will of [Birth] with his own actions, but little did they know that he was just taking the opportunity to expand the bloodline left by Uda.
A few years later, this Wuda rebel whose reputation reached its peak was successfully elected as the leader of the church. At this time, the identities of him and his people were accidentally leaked. However, it was not the public who learned the news, but the homeless Uma people who wandered outside the Dor Empire all day long.
When these Uma people learned that their former relatives had gained new power in Dolgod, they came to join them.
The leader, who had lost his historical memory and only had the memory of his bloodline, softened his heart and took them in, but he was unable to use taxes to support a group of idle people with nothing to do, so he established a blasphemy confession center.
The sinners of Umma were constantly repenting for their historical blasphemy. In order to make the citizens at that time more pious, the leader of the church began to use this confession to brainwash all the people, making them waste all their energy except for reproduction on repentance, so as to ensure the stability of their rule.
