Zongman: Please stop destroying the worldview!

A whale-like cry like a spout was heard in the rain, and Vilanser stepped on a big fish made of transparent creatures in the air and flew away.

Chapter 25 The Long Night (Part )

On the other side, at Chen Mo's place, after a series of comforts, Rencai's mood has stabilized. She even wants to drink the milk brought by Taoxiang while arguing with Subaru.

The atmosphere became relaxed. Rencai wiped her tears and suddenly looked at the window and said, "Look, is there something in the rain?"

Chen Mo followed her instructions and looked. Sure enough, when the rain hit the windowsill and the ground, there seemed to be transparent little fish jumping in the raindrops, and then their bodies disintegrated into bubbles and floated back into the sky.

Chen Mo explained calmly, "This should be some kind of atmospheric plankton. It usually floats in the sky, and now it's falling to the ground with the raindrops."

Rencai and the other two pressed their faces against the glass, exclaiming curiously, "Are there really creatures living in the sky?"

Chen Mo: "They're quite common on gaseous planets. The recent heavy rain in Tokyo is probably related to the proliferation of these creatures."

The newly replaced chandelier made the rain outside the window sparkle, as if countless transparent elves had descended into this world.

The painful emotions that Rencai had just felt seemed to be washed away by the rain. The world reflected in her eyes contained not only darkness and pain, but also light and dreams.

But after a while, this beautiful rain scene was broken by a group of people who suddenly appeared.

"Smile! Smile! Let smiles and love fill the world, and let the Master's true meaning spread happiness!"

A group of people, regardless of gender, age or status, lined up and marched in the rain, shouting all kinds of encouraging slogans. They all had stiff smiles on their faces, and their uniformity was chilling to the eyes.

Rencai pulled her face away from the glass and shuddered. "Ugh, why do these people seem so annoying?"

Subaru glanced at his phone, also filled with questions. "This Church of Smiles and Love thing has been polluting the environment online lately. Has it evolved into polluting offline too?"

Taoxiang: "What kind of church would take its members out in the rain? Is it a cult?"

Chen Mo: "I guess it really is a cult."

"what!?"

"Hey, Xiaoxiang? What happened? Oh, I see. You guys should hide in my magic tower first..."

A ringtone sounded, and Chen Mo picked up the phone and answered briefly before saying goodbye to Rencai and the other two: "I have something else to do, so I have to go back now!"

"Are you leaving now? Okay, see you next time!"

Momoka and Subaru will stay overnight at Nina's house to finalize the band's preliminary arrangements.

So Chen Mo said goodbye to the three of them and left. Before leaving, he reminded them that it was dangerous outside for various reasons and it would be better not to go out.

-

Chen Mo hid in the shadow of the building and approached the marching crowd without being discovered.

It was obvious that they were all mentally influenced by some kind of ritual. Under the worship of the so-called leader and the dark scripture, the power of faith was continuously converging towards a certain target in the distance.

As they moved forward, more and more people began to join the team spontaneously, and many people took the initiative to come out of their homes. Once they joined the team, they automatically put on a neat smile and began to mutter something about the power of smiles and the transmission of love.

Chen Mo was observing when he suddenly realized that the leader looked familiar. Upon closer inspection, he saw that he was wearing a cheap suit and had sleek blond hair that even shone when wet by the rain. Wasn't this Linghuan Xinlong, the fraudulent exorcist he met during the expedition against the mountain god?

Looking more closely, he was faking a smile, unlike the others' stiff smiles! This spirit wasn't controlled, but instead became the leader of this group of believers? This was quite interesting.

Soon, something even more interesting happened. A new acquaintance appeared. Miao Meng, wearing a raincoat and holding an umbrella, and equipped with a full set of waterproof equipment, appeared with live broadcast equipment, stopped in front of the parade and started interviewing.

"Drop meow meow! This is Meow Dream! I'm so lucky! Today I encountered the most fashionable and trendy sect game. Hey, the leader is actually the number one exorcist in Tokyo, Master Xinlong!

Master of Spiritual Illusion, can I ask you a few questions?!"

Lingxuan straightened his collar and replied seriously, "Of course, ma'am!"

Miao Meng: "Before asking questions, could you please show me one of your signature moves?"

"of course can!"

Ling Xuan pointed his thumb at himself and shouted with spit flying, "I, Ling Xuan Xinlong, accept this commission!"

"Oh! Then let's take another photo!"

"Come on, let me show you my special skill in exorcising ghosts. The magical killing skill of sprinkling salt!"

The leading Linghuan suddenly stopped and started to perform various poses in front of Miaomeng's camera.

The people in the team soon expressed dissatisfaction: "Leader, what are you doing? Shouldn't we continue playing the game and spread the Lord's grace?"

Linghuan turned around and fiercely counterattacked, "Foolish! Shortsighted! What I'm doing now is the most suitable direction for the development of the sect! How many new members do you think you can attract by just parading and shouting?"

He pointed at Miao Meng with both hands and said, "This is Miao Meng's dear, a famous anchor on the internet! I'm introducing her to the true meaning of our Smile and Love Sect!"

With her promotion, our sect will soon become a new trend on the Internet, and with the help of the Internet, our teachings will spread across the country and even the world! ”

Miao Meng: "Uh, are we such a great anchor?"

Linghuan: "I said yes! You guys don't want to restrict the church's expansion by disrupting the big streamer's promotion, right?"

Linghuan's question made the believers look at each other in bewilderment, as if something was wrong, but they also felt that it was reasonable and could not think of any rebuttal. One believer asked, "So what should we do now?"

Ling Huan: "What you need to do now is to cooperate with our filming plan! If you do well, you will be the heroes who promote the sect to the world!

Listen to my orders. Now everyone spread out, find a place with a roof over your head, stand there, shut your mouths, and wait for my next order!

Hurry and act! Do you want the leader to be disappointed in you?!"

Under the magic trick, the group of believers obediently dispersed, each taking shelter under the eaves of the houses along the street, and stopped reciting the doctrine. The noisy street suddenly became quiet.

When the believers took their seats, they looked up but could not see Linghuan and Miaomeng.

-

"Wow, I'm so dizzy!"

"Be gentle, or your arm will be pulled off!"

After the parade dispersed, Chen Mo quickly pulled Miao Meng and Ling Huan into the alley.

Chen Mo had a Bruce squatting at his feet and an Elu cat standing on his shoulder. He asked the two people in a very oppressive tone, "So, what are you two doing? Lingxuan, you are not controlled by the cult. Why did you come to me instead of hiding?"

"And you, turn off the live broadcast right now!"

Chen Mo reached out and grabbed Miao Meng's phone. Miao Meng pouted and complained, "Ah, our live broadcast!"

Chen Mo: "The cult is parading in the streets, how dare you go there and broadcast it live?"

Miao Meng blinked, and was about to reach out to snatch the phone back: "What cult? Isn't this the hottest and most fashionable trend? We're just trying to take advantage of the hype."

Chen Mo: "Sister, look at how these people are laughing in unison, don't you think there's something wrong?"

Miao Meng retracted his claws as if he realized it belatedly.

"It seems like something is not right, meow."

Chen Mo showed no appreciation: "Stop trying to be cute. You're trying to get attention even though you know the dangers are there."

Miao Meng: "Hehe, it would be a waste not to take advantage of such a hot spot."

Chen Mo looked at Ling Huan on the other side and said, "How did you become the team leader? Are you the one behind this incident?"

Ling Huan: "Of course not! These childish ghosts have been pestering me to join the sect since before, but I have always ignored them.

As a result, a bunch of people came to the door of my office and banged on it. If I didn't join, they would have held me there. Do you understand how terrifying this is?"

Chen Mo: "So how did you become their leader?"

Linghuan: "Since they pretended to join, I just said a few words to them, and then they promoted me to the leader of the team.

If this Miao Meng hadn't come to interview me, I wouldn't know what excuse I would have to knock them down. "

Chen Mo increasingly felt that Ling Huan was a talented person: "I don't think you have any special abilities, so why can't the Dark Scripture bewitch you?"

Ling Xuan put on the air of a reliable adult: "I've observed that these so-called smiles and loving words are nothing more than taking advantage of people's herd mentality. As long as you laugh along with everyone, you can get a cheap sense of security.

But I, Linghuan, am a reliable adult. Adults won't lose themselves just to fit in like children do! "

"Okay. From what you said, there aren't many adults left on the street."

Linghuan: "There are many people who are still children at heart even when they grow up."

Linghuan was able to avoid being tricked because of his self-confidence and superiority, so what about this Miao Meng?

Chen Mo asked her, "What about you? Are you also not interested in sociability?"

Miao Meng: "Social? What is that? Can it make money? Or bring fame?"

This guy who is always trying to get attention turns out to be a complete pragmatist!

-

Chen Mo used a divination spell, and a light blue screen appeared in front of him. He instructed the two:

"I have to go and get rid of the real culprit behind this cult. It'll be troublesome if things get out of hand. I also have to discuss band matters tomorrow!

You two should stay with me. Just because you haven't been hit now doesn't mean you'll be safe forever."

"Divination, where is the leader of this evil cult now? Ha, he's leading a group of followers towards my mage tower? And this leader turned out to be a bird bundle?"

Chen Mo's divination gave him an accurate answer. The current leader was actually Toribatsu. Did he finally evolve from a pervert who liked to peek into the leader of a cult?

No, according to his habit of accepting all ghosts who came to possess him, it was also possible that an evil spirit had taken over his body.

Judging from the explosion of the magic support group, could this person be targeting me? Is he trying to control me this way?

After setting the target, Chen Mo said to Miao Meng and Ling Huan, "Let's act immediately. This cult leader is heading towards my mage tower, and I can intercept him from a favorable position."

Linghuan: "Isn't your office quite far from here? How do we get there?"

Chen Mo: "Ride a dog."

Meow Dream: "Huh? Riding a dog?"

She looked at Bruce beside Chen Mo and said, "Even though your dog is big, it certainly can't hold three people, right?"

Linghuan showed a regretful expression and complained loudly: "More importantly, why do you have to ride a dog? Is this a normal way of getting around?!"

Chen Mo ordered Bruce to run out of the alley, then cast a gigantic spell on it. Suddenly, a dog as big as a tank appeared in the middle of the street.

"Okay now, Cat Fey, you take the wheel and use your triple speed to its full potential!"

Feline swiftly climbed onto the dog's head, using its fur to drape itself, and then pulled up the equally enlarged leash.

"Got it, meow! I'll get the boss there as quickly as possible, meow!"
