"They are a cult, go!" The old man took a few quick breaths, gasping for air before he could speak a single sentence. "Go! Take your sister away from here!"

He stiffened his neck and pulled out a sharp toothbrush from his waist.

"Walk…"

The shouting and cursing intensified after the words were spoken.

"Unbelievers!"

"The God of Candlelight will punish you!"

"Believe in the God of Candlelight, and diseases will stay away from us!"

Mori Yuesha yawned, "Well, I'm hungry, what should I eat for lunch?"

"Does the master want anything to eat?"

"let me see…"

The inappropriate small talk made the frail old man more anxious.

"They...they let the believers deceive their relatives..." He thought Mori Yuesha and Nagini were tricked in. After the sanatorium was closed, the food and supplies would become less and less, and there would be many mouths to feed every day.

How to do it?

Take advantage of believers.

Let them contact their families, relatives and friends, bring food and supplies, and bring themselves.

There are only two possible outcomes after entering.

Believe in the God of Candlelight, and under the witness of the Candle Lady, personally perform a "sacrifice" - or be sacrificed.

"There is no humanity, they have no humanity anymore..." Under the influence of hunger and massive blood loss, the old man was no longer conscious.

Mori Yuesa was very curious about this sect.

Banish…disease?

"Me! My cold is cured!"

"After donating my blood, I no longer have a headache!"

"my leg…"

Seeing that the girl was interested, this group of elderly believers enthusiastically explained to her the "benefits" of joining the Candlelight Sect: some diseases were miraculously cured, some were no longer in pain, and some even said that they had heard the oracle of the God of Candlelight -

Fanatical emotions make people forget the pain; fanatical beliefs make people go crazy; fanatical thinking makes people lose their reason.

No longer afraid of death.

On the contrary, the "soldiers" guarding the "blood bank" still retained fear of the middle-aged woman who had just been killed by Mori Yuesha.

"This shows that the so-called doctrine has not deceived these worker ants. What they fear is violence." Nagini said coldly. Listening to the orderly preaching around her, the pale and thin old men sincerely persuaded her and Mori Yuesha to join this organization.

The skinny arms stretched out toward them like withered tentacles growing from a hospital bed.

"Join us...the God of Candlelight will keep the disease away from you."

——If you think about the place under your feet, it is not difficult to understand the way these old people think.

…………

……

The sanctuary of the God of Candlelight is on the third floor of the sanatorium.

It can be seen that the owner here wants to erase the decoration of "hospital" attributes as much as possible, and tries every means to make this floor look more solemn - but the effect is not good, and the wax and blood all over the floor can only make people feel creepy.

Perhaps this also achieved her goal?

Some scattered stretchers and wheelchairs were disassembled, as well as discarded syringes, and leftover bread and sausages.

"This religious organization is having a hard time." Mori Yuesha sighed. Putting aside the dying elderly people on the second floor, it seemed that just two days of isolation was too much for them.

Nagini nodded: "I just heard that the candle girl is preparing to send people out to buy food."

At such times, they need to spend more money than usual.

“It seems that God’s people also need to eat.”

Hearing Mori Yuesha's sigh, Nagini said with a hint of sarcasm: "Master, not only do God's people need it, but God does too."

"Isn't it the same with a certain crucified God? He created the world and light in seven days. He is omniscient and omnipotent, overlooking everything. He is in the pupils of people, knowing everything. He influences the wicked in the hearts of people. He punishes those who do not believe in Him and blesses the children who are devout to the scriptures—"

"His palace is built on the sky, and the temple is full of believers—"

"He is the only one, the invincible supreme being—"

The maid tapped the tip of her umbrella and laughed softly, "But... I don't have any money."

"Omniscient, omnipotent, invincible, looking down on all living things - that's it."

"Need—money."

Mori Yuesa covered her mouth and laughed.

The girl could probably guess some of Nagini's past, although she rarely talked about it.

"Nagini, no one will bully you anymore."

The maid smiled gently, with love in her eyes. She looked at Mori Yuesha, who was as angry as a little pufferfish, and shook her head quietly.

"I am the happiest moment now. As for the memories of the past," Nagini tapped her temple, "I have long forgotten them."

"Is it to make room to remember me?"

"Yes."

So disgusting.

Arrietty listened expressionlessly to the two psychopaths, one big and one small, showing their affection, and she did not dare to say a word.

——You have embarrassed yourself today. For the time being, you should...behave yourself?

Anyway, Mori Yuesha has a short memory, so let’s talk about it after this matter is over…

A small nursing home, a global chaos, an event that lasted only two days.

This is how such an organization was born.

It is composed of ignorant and confused old people, and all they need is health and unfathomable divine power.

This is just one region. If we look at it from a broader perspective, how many are there globally?

Nagini pointed toward the suddenly bright hall.

"Here we are."

The original activity room was slightly modified. A piece of wood was unloaded from somewhere and strange teaching symbols were painted on it. Five or six men and women holding candlesticks or steel pipes stood at the door.

When Mori Yuesa appeared around the corner, all eyes were on her.

"Hi! Is this the entrance to the Boss battle?" Escape room player Sen Kaixin waved at them enthusiastically.

"blasphemer!"

The naughty words did not receive a kind response. The leading woman raised the candlestick, with the sharp metal tip pointing directly at Nagini's face.

"The order from Lady Candle!"

"She will judge you herself!"

Go in?

Mori Yuesha tiptoed to look inside the door, shrank her neck and said cautiously: "There will be a lot of people inside, right?"

"They won't wait for us to get in, rush over and do this and that to us, right?"

The faces of the people guarding the door became increasingly darker.

Chapter 91 Cut You to Death

The space is large, and if it weren't for the dull faces of the 40 or 50 elderly people, Mori Yuesha would have thought that some exciting meeting of elderly men and women who hit it off was being held here.

They sat in circles along the wall, with the "Lady Candle Girl" in the center.

When Mori Yuesha and her group came in, gazes as sharp as swords came at them in dense clusters.

Everyone turned their heads and stared at them, as stiff as mannequins.

"Welcome, lost outsider..." The veil on the candle girl's head looked quite decent, and her hunched appearance became more mysterious under the devout gaze of the believers. She held a candlestick in her hand, and an orange flame was burning quietly.

"The God of Candlelight welcomes all lost children who have returned to the right path. Join us and you will avoid disease and pain..."

As if she didn't want to give Mori Yuesha time to question, Zhu Nu continued to speak, while she stretched out her other hand and passed it across the believers around her; those who were pointed at opened their mouths one by one:

"The God of Candlelight leads me to the truth..."

"The God of Candlelight has kept me away from illness..."

"The God of Candlelight..."

The world is sinking, and God opens his hand to you.

palm?

Mori Yuesha raised her head and said, "Scissors."

Arrietty: ...I can't bear it any longer.

"Young girl, the God of Candle will fulfill any of your wishes - can you feel it? The changes in this world..." The Candle Lady had a kind look on her face, swaying her clothes made of scraps of gauze and metal, and walked slowly forward holding the candlestick.

She walked in front of Mori Yuesa and Nagini.

"I heard the guidance of God and received His gift..."

I opened my palms and something incredible happened.

The melted wax climbed along the candlestick, as if it had life and intelligence, entwined around the metal, and slowly flowed through the candle girl's arms; small orange flames burned on the wax - milky white and orange-red on the old woman's palms and forearms. At this moment, she manipulated them as she pleased, just like treating an obedient pet.

"Look, this is a gift from God..."

The flames grew larger and larger.

The purple curtain opened in an instant.

【Candle Girl】

【Humanity】

[An old woman who was about to die and was plagued by illness was very lucky to come into contact with the "mystery" - it is not clear whether she heard the oracle and could manipulate the mystery. But at least, she must have heard the voice of her inner desire. ]

Energy level: Lv 0 · "Contactor"

…………

Mori Yuesha was completely confused.

How can a "contactee" who has not yet been upgraded control wax and fire?

Looking at the blazing fire in front of her, Nagini quickly saw through the Candle Girl's tricks - phosphorus powder, special solution, low-temperature candles, dark and blurry space, and several "informed" people.

In terms of smell, it's pretty close.

A simple sleight of hand made countless people bow their heads.

However, the woman, who had not yet realized that she had been seen through, continued to chatter to Mori Yuesha about her god: "He welcomes every child who joins."

"What's your name?"

Mori Tsukisa blurted out: "Nobi Nobita!"

The old woman was stunned for a moment.

Nobita...Nobita?

Why does it sound so much like a boy's name?

"Well... yes. My mother is a bastard. She actually gave her daughter such a name - well, she is not her biological daughter after all. She is not loved..."
