Fang Zhou, just tell me whether the mission is completed or not.

The villagers were still hoping for the arrival of the priest.

At this moment, everyone is like a dreamer who has been awakened.

The expression on his face gradually changed from anticipation to astonishment, and then to deep pain and anger.

They began to recall the past days, recalling their faith in the true God in the past year, and their offerings and sacrifices to the true God.

Looking back now, those days seemed to be shrouded in a thick fog, making it difficult for them to see the truth.

And now, the mystery has finally been cleared.

The cruel reality behind it was revealed - they might have been deceived.

These True God priests are liars.

"We were lied to!"

“I was deceived so badly.”

"True God, where are you???"

"My money! My beast of burden!"

For a moment, the villagers' wails were like a long-suppressed torrent, instantly erupting in the mountains and forests, echoing in the silent valleys and dense forests.

at the same time.

A bright red shadow moved slowly along the forest path. It was Priest Melkan.

He was wearing an exquisite red robe, the hem of which swayed in the wind.

With a faint smile on his face, every step he took was steady and powerful, as if the whole world was under his control.

Behind him followed two believers, holding heavy packages filled with offerings from the villagers to the priest.

Their eyes were full of admiration and worship for Priest Melkan, as if he was the god in their hearts who could bring them endless blessings.

Looking back to a year ago, Melkan was just a criminal who escaped from the Empire Mine.

At that time, he was penniless, on the run, and lived in fear every day.

But now, he has become a priest revered by nearby villagers.

They eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks every day, and there are even female believers who devote themselves to service.

All in all.

It was all thanks to his cellmate, Harry, who was exiled for fraud.

If he hadn’t been so quick-witted and figured out how to deceive people with fake religion, he wouldn’t have been able to live so comfortably.

Every day, I am like a lord patrolling my territory. I can go to any village I want.

There is endless food, endless money, and even endless believers to sleep with.

Ahhhhh——

Just then, a burst of rapid and noisy sound broke the silence of the forest, as if it was shouting from a distant village.

Malcolm stopped and listened, his brows slightly furrowed.

"In the village ahead, it sounds like someone is screaming in pain."

However, Malken did not feel afraid or uneasy. On the contrary, an indescribable excitement surged in his heart.

"Isn't this a good opportunity for us to take advantage of the situation and recruit believers?"

This thought flashed through Melken's mind.

He knew that at this moment, the villagers' hearts were most vulnerable and they most longed for redemption and comfort.

And their True God religion is the light of salvation in their hearts.

Thinking of this, a smug smile appeared on Melken's face.

He straightened his red robe and straightened his chest:

"Let's go and see what's going on."

Chapter 170: The Integration Movement invites you to join in resisting cults. (38)

"How are we going to survive now?"

A villager's voice trembled, her empty eyes seemed to be searching for some hope to grasp, but she couldn't find it.

"I shouldn't have believed the priests' lies."

Another villager knelt on the ground and pounded his hands in agony, not even noticing that his hands were bleeding.

"..."

Even Brandon, who was originally the most devout believer in the true God, was now lying on the ground with his eyes blank, as if he were dead.

Now everyone knows the truth.

They all knew they were being deceived.

That bullshit true God doesn't exist at all.

Those priests claimed to have performed miracles just to defraud their families of their wealth.

They were so out of their minds that they actually believed in the existence of the true god Ursus.

If I could do it again, I would definitely not believe in any god again.

And now, having lost everything, they can only wait for death here in despair.

"Great God, why are you sighing here?"

"Explain your experiences to the true God, and the true God will encourage you to move forward."

Just then, a man's kind voice was heard at the entrance of the village.

This sudden sound immediately attracted the attention of all the villagers present.

Especially the word "true God" from the other party's mouth, it seemed as if time had been paused.

The villagers all turned their heads to look at the red-robed priest who appeared at the entrance of the village. Brandon, who was lying on the ground, stood up from the ground with a somersault.

"Are you talking about the true god Ursus?"

Looking at the abnormal looks of the villagers, Melken felt a little creepy.

He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that these villagers were different from those he had seen before.

In the past, when I met villagers in trouble, I would go up to them and ask them, and they would basically tell me all their troubles.

But the appearance of these villagers today gave him the feeling that they were going to kill someone.

However, I have no grudge against them, so how could they want to kill me?

Although he himself had never been to this village, he had always sent believers here to preach.

They can't be hostile to themselves.

I must be overthinking it.

"Of course I am talking about the True God Ursus, and I am the priest of the True God Ursus."

Melkend's voice echoed in the air, as if he was very proud of his identity.

However, his words were like a boulder thrown into a lake, provoking a strong reaction from the crowd on the other side.

Their expressions instantly became distorted and hideous, with anger and fanaticism flashing in their eyes.

One of them even rushed forward, his facial muscles tense and his teeth clenched, as if he wanted to vent all his anger on Melkan.

"I ask you, where is the money? Where is my food?"

"Where are the food and money you promised to give me?"

The villager roared, his voice as deafening as thunder.

Other villagers gathered around and glared at Melkan as well.

"You...what are you talking about?"

Malcolm was confused by their questions.

However, before he could figure out what was going on, the villagers rushed towards him.

He was hit hard in the abdomen with a heavy punch.

Melkan felt a sharp pain in his abdomen and suddenly lost his balance and fell backwards.

Soon after, more people rushed up and pinned him to the ground.

They tore his clothes frantically and kicked his body.

"Ah...what are you talking about..."

"When did I owe you money?"

Melkan's confusion and fear instantly turned into a feeling of powerlessness.

The villagers didn't listen to his explanation at all, and kicked him mercilessly.

After a violent collision, Melken's eyes went dark and he fainted.

However, soon a bucket of cold water was poured on Melkan, waking him up from unconsciousness.

Ah ah ah ah ah--

Melken, who had just woken up, looked at the crazy villagers and screamed in fear.

See the trembling priest.

Brandon, a former fanatic, grabbed his hair and dragged him to the tree at the entrance of the village.

Melkan screamed and struggled, but did not arouse any sympathy from the villagers.

These cultists didn't even consider their own lives when they were deceiving them, and now they know how to beg for mercy?

Brandon held a stick, pointed it at the priest's nose, and said angrily:

"Tell me, where did you put all my food?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he stepped forward and kicked the priest in the face, stepping heavily on his face and glaring at him:

"If you don't give me my food today, I will send you to the true god."

"I don't know. I don't know what you are talking about. Please let me go. I really don't know anything."

Melken begged for mercy with tears and snot.

The beating from the villagers reminded him of his time at the Imperial Mine.

Now he has completely lost the pride of a cult priest.

Now he had only one thought, which was to survive.

And he really didn't know what food the other party was talking about.

This is my first time in this village. When did I owe them food?

"Okay, okay... you won't tell me. I told you not to tell me."

Brandon tied Melkan to a tree, stuffed a handful of dirt into his mouth, and then beat him with a stick.

The other villagers couldn't bear to watch and came up to beat him with branches.

Among them was an old man who hit Melken so hard that his balls flew everywhere, causing him to roll his eyes and almost die from the pain.

The two believers who came with Melken saw the priest being beaten and were about to step forward to persuade the villagers to calm down.

Maybe there was some misunderstanding.

But before they could open their mouths, other villagers dragged them over to complain:

"Young man, listen to what I say. This damn True God Church is a scam."

"Wake up! The people of the True God Church are nothing."
