Chapter 454 The Thorn Sect
A woman with a crown of thorns on her head, her hands clasped across her chest, and her head bowed down.

Zhu Jue turned over the crude wood carvings in his hands, the lights were on in the house, and Rona was looking for information in the studio beside him. His wife and children had their own affairs, one was in the company and the other was in the school, so the house also There are only two of them, which is probably why Luo Na invited Zhu Jue to his home to talk about things.

After waiting for a long time, Rona came out of the back room with two paper bags.

Zhu Jue wanted to say something, but he stopped him by raising his hand. The latter turned around and picked up the remote control on the sofa, and pressed it against the ceiling twice.

"Eavesdropping on the shielding system, this is for insurance."

Shaking the remote control in his hand, Rona didn't say much. They are the thorn in the eyes of the Thousand Sails City government, and some necessary means are still indispensable.

"It's a bit uncommon for incidents to be documented on paper these days."

Taking over the two file bags, and opening the coil wrapped around the seal, Zhu Jue raised his eyes and asked,
"Is this also to guard against the Qianfan City government?"

"That's right, the human rights parade is a sensitive event in Qianfan City. Qianfan Intellectual Brain lists this term as a keyword, and most of the information on the Internet will go through its investigation. If there is any threat, such as these few documents They will destroy and trace the source of the things mentioned in the article as soon as possible, so a long time ago, we used the most original notes and physical photos to record some key information.”

As Rona said, he went to the kitchen and walked around. The bulging pocket with two rolls of cash collapsed, and there was an extra snack and fruit plate in his hand.

"The religion of the parade you mean this goddess of thorns?"

Most of the information in the document is about this sect that arose during the parade, and it was obviously what Rona wanted to talk about in the cafe but didn't open his mouth.

"The Thorn sect, the root of its beliefs lies in this wooden sculpture, the so-called Goddess of Thorns. Its timing and teachings are very strange. In fact, if you want to find reasons for the failure of the human rights march, it accounts for nearly half of it."

Today, five years later, the construction of the city of Qianfan Race is almost complete, and the lower-ranked community environment in the lower urban area where the people at the bottom live has not been improved. This in itself is a manifestation of failure.

"Can you talk about it carefully?"

The mention of sects immediately aroused Zhu Jue's interest.

"According to our insider reports in the parade, this sect first appeared when the human rights parade formed a certain scale and had a wide range of social impact."

Flipping through the documents in his hand, Rona recalled the situation three years ago through the words recorded on it.

What are the two most critical things for the emergence of a sect?
One is faith, and the other is believers.

The two undoubtedly complement each other. Faith attracts believers, and believers in turn spread beliefs, thereby attracting more believers.

"The belief of the Thorns sect is different from any sect I know. I am not a believer in them, so I can only roughly describe their belief that the end is approaching. If human beings want to continue to survive, they must follow the goddess of Thorns. Great rebirth after suffering."

"Standard cult propaganda model, does anyone believe this?"

Zhu Jue curled his lips. He had met many cults, so he naturally sneered at this kind of propaganda.

"If it's just talking about it, there will be people who believe it, but definitely not many, and the information shows that this sect has succeeded in front of hundreds of people, which is the great rebirth mentioned in their teachings!"

"Successful? Let one experience suffering and be reborn?"

"That's right, it is said that the believers of this sect picked out one person in front of the crowd of onlookers and let him go forward and shoot and kill a devout believer. Only a few minutes later, the person who was killed Believers who confirm their death are resurrected, and even the wounds disappear.”

"Are there any photos or videos of the scene?"

Zhu Jue doesn't believe in the resurrection from the dead, but he believes that there are some special powers that can perform acts similar to the resurrection from the dead.

"Sorry, filming was not allowed at that time. It was already a few days after we learned about this incident. Rumors have spread in an irreversible manner. Even if we want to stop, there is nothing we can do. This sect spreads its beliefs throughout the parade Dispersed in the team, it eventually caused irreparable religious fanaticism and the subsequent counterattack of the Qianfan City government!"

Human rights marches can be widely recognized, relying on large-scale demonstrations?
of course not!
The reason why they can develop so quickly is that the reasonable demands of these bottom-level people are in line with the general demands of the current people, which makes the entire parade have such a huge number of supporters and influence that even the capital consortia have to pay attention to.

It is also because of this that when this pure pursuit of a better life is influenced by some weird trends of thought, all previous efforts in the report of Qianfan City have become fanatical actions carried out by a group of religious elements in order to propagate the teachings.

However, the state shown by the parade at that time was indeed the same.
To arrest public figures who are fighting for the rights and interests of the people, the Qianfan City government may have to bear great pressure from public opinion, but what if it is to arrest cult members?

Not to mention the pressure, the public opinion will applaud it instead!

This made the originally vigorous parade end in a dramatic way in a short time, without even making a decent resistance, because when these people are defined as religious fanatics, the Thousand Sails City government will not hold any mercy".

"I didn't expect there to be such an inside story. So, is it possible that the Thorn Sect was arranged by the Qianfan City government? Wait, if there was a cult in the parade, does this mean that some of them thought There's a shift, and they're going to be affected, aren't they?"

Zhu Jue frowned, suddenly looked at Rona and asked.

"Huh? Should. Maybe."

For a moment, Luo Na didn't understand what Zhu Jue meant, so he could only nod subconsciously. The latter had already got up from the sofa and started pacing around the living room.

Zhu Jue has not lost sight of his main reason for investigating the human rights march.

He wasn't here to hear a story from three years ago.

His goal is to find out how Shawn and his lieutenants, who appeared in Chester City, transformed from a warrior fighting for civil rights in a human rights march to two evil men assisting in a killing game without changing their faces in two years. organization members.

As long as he finds the connection among them, he can follow the clues to find the organization that is connected with the Mi Ge family.

And this sudden emergence of the Thorn sect undoubtedly pointed out the direction for Zhu Jue. From a certain point of view, it changed the nature of the human rights march, and also caused the dismal end of this mighty civil rights movement.

The great rebirth of the Mi Go cult mind?
Resurrection from death sounds absurd, but its actual meaning is the disappearance and regeneration of life consciousness?

is it possible.
The thoughts in his mind became more and more complicated. Zhu Jue raised his index finger and pressed his upper lip lightly, thinking about various possibilities, but because there was no real evidence, these thoughts could only remain as speculations.

"As for the follow-up situation of the Thorn Sect, they must have gained a lot of believers through this parade. How will Qiansail City deal with them?"

"It's nothing more than arresting and reforming in prison. Since these believers have no illegal actions other than ideological fanaticism, the Qianfan City government cannot convict these people. At most, they are disturbing public order. As for the issue of belief exist."

Thousand Sails City is not a religious city. Because of the different races of the people, religious beliefs are very complicated. Various sects have a certain number of believers here. It is unrealistic to arrest people with belief issues.

"You mean this Thorn sect still exists in Thousand Sails City?"

Since the Thousand Sails City government did not attack the Thorns Sect, does this mean that he acquiesced to the existence of this Sect.

Could it be a reward for thanking them for helping them solve the big trouble of the human rights march?
"It doesn't exist on the surface!"

Rona's answer was a little vague, and after thinking about it, he continued,

"Thousand Sails City does not recognize the existence of this sect, and does not allow believers who believe in the Thorns sect to hold public gatherings and publicity, but there are no clear regulations on private gatherings. After the Human Rights March, due to the failure of the plan, we entered a state of overall contraction. There is no follow-up in this regard, so I don't know the situation of the Thorns sect now."

The human rights march can be said to be the last attempt of the federal government in Thousand Sails City. The huge amount of resources invested made them unable to do what they wanted in the follow-up resistance, let alone use extra resources to track down this cult organization that has not received any rewards.

"I need you to help me investigate the Thorn Sect and the Sean I told you about on the way here. He is probably a member of the Thorn Sect."

In any case, there must be something tricky hidden in this Thorn sect. His intuition tells Zhu Jue that this clue is very important, and whether he can figure out the inside story of this sect will be the key.

"I will use the resources of the office to conduct investigations as much as possible, but this was three years ago. Without continuous follow-up, it may be difficult to find information about this sect in a short period of time."

Today is different from the past, the power of the federal government in Thousand Sails City can do very little now, and Rona dare not promise that he can do anything, after all, he is not a detective either.

"The base price for each piece of valuable information is [-] federal coins. If you can directly find the stronghold or believers of this sect in Qianfan City, the price will increase several times, not more than ten times!"

Zhu Jue grabbed the apple in the fruit plate and gnawed, shrugged and said,

"Now do you think you can overcome the difficulties?"

"Oh ~ Mr. Hannibal, you may not be clear, I have always been a person who likes to face difficulties!"

Thinking of the possible large sums of money in the future, this almost 40-year-old man suddenly found that life is still full of passion!
