Chapter 10 Sect of Thorns

A woman wearing a crown of thorns, her hands cage on her chest, and lowered her head.

Zhu Jue flipped the rough wood carving in his hand, with the lights on in the house. Rona was looking for information in the studio beside him. His wife and children had their own affairs, one in the company and the other in the school, so there were only two people in the house. This was probably the reason why Rona would invite Zhu Jue to talk at home.

Not long after, Rona came out of the inner room with two paper bags.

Zhu Jue wanted to say something, but he raised his hand to stop him. 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 the sake of safety."

After shaking the remote control in his hand, Rona didn't say much. They were thorns in the Qianfancheng government's side, and some necessary means must be left out.

"It is rare to use paper documents to record events now."

Take the two file bags and open the coil wrapped around the seal. Zhu Jue raised his eyes and asked,

"This is also to guard against the Qianfancheng government?"

"Yes, the human rights march is a sensitive incident in Qianfan City. Qianfan Intelligent Body lists this term as a keyword. Most of the information on the Internet will be checked through it. If it is threatening, for example, what is mentioned in these documents, they will destroy and trace the source as soon as possible. So a long time ago, we recorded some of the key information using the most original notes and physical photos."

Rona said as he went to the kitchen and walked around, his bloated pocket with two rolls of cash shrank, and he had an extra snack fruit plate in his hand.

"The religious beliefs of the parade...what are you trying to talk about this Thorn Goddess?"

Most of the documents are about this sect that emerged during the parade, and it is obviously what Rhone wanted to say in a cafe but didn't speak.

"The root of the belief of the Thorn Sect is this wood carving, the so-called Thorn Goddess, has a very strange timing and doctrine. In fact, if you want to find a reason for the failure of the Human Rights March, it occupies nearly half of it."

Five years later, the construction of Qianfans and Jetty City has been almost complete, and the community environment in the lower-ranking lower-ranking community where the lower-level people live has not been improved. This itself is a manifestation of failure.

"Can you talk about it carefully?"

When talking about the sect, Zhu Jue's interest was immediately aroused.

“According to our insider reports in the march, this sect first appeared when the human rights march formed a certain scale and had a wide range of social impacts…”

Looking through the documents and materials in his hand, Rona recalled the situation three years ago with the recorded texts on it.

What are the two most important things in the emergence of a sect?

One is faith, the other is believers.

These two are undoubtedly complementary. Faith attracts believers, and believers in turn spread faith, thereby attracting more believers.

"The beliefs of the Thorn Sect are different from any sect I know. I am not their believer, so I can only describe it roughly... They believe that the end of the world is coming, and if humans want to continue to survive, they must follow the Thorn Goddess and obtain great rebirth after experiencing suffering."

"Anyone believes in the standard cult propaganda model?"

Zhu Jue curled his lips. He had met many cults and naturally scoffed at this kind of propaganda.

"If you just say it, there will be people who believe it, but definitely not many. The information shows that this sect has succeeded in front of hundreds of people, which is the great rebirth mentioned in their doctrine!"

"Successful? Let a person experience suffering and then be reborn?"

"That's right, it is said that in front of the crowd, the believers of this sect immediately selected one person and asked them to come forward and kill a devout believer in the form of a shooting. Just a few minutes later, the believer who was confirmed to die was resurrected and even his wounds disappeared."

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

Zhu Jue did not believe in the resurrection of the dead, but he believed that there were certain special forces that could behave similarly to the resurrection of the dead.

"Sorry, filming was not allowed at that time. It was a few days after we learned about this incident. The rumors had spread out in an irreversible situation. Even if we wanted to stop it, we could not do anything. This sect spread its beliefs throughout the entire parade, which eventually led to an irreversible religious fanaticism and the subsequent counterattack of the Qianfancheng government!"

Can human rights marches be widely recognized by large-scale marches?

Of course not!

The reason why they were able to develop so rapidly is that the reasonable demands of these lower-class people are in line with the general demands of the people at present, which makes the entire parade able to have such a huge supporter and influence that even capital consortiums have to pay attention to.

It is also because of this, when this purity of pursuing a better life was influenced by some strange thoughts, all previous efforts became a fanatical action carried out by a group of religious elements in the report of Qianfan City to promote doctrines.

But the state of the parade was indeed like this at that time...

To arrest public figures who are striving for the rights and interests of the people, the Qianfancheng government may have to bear great pressure on public opinion, but what if it is to arrest cult elements?

Not to mention pressure, public opinion will applaud it!

This led to the originally vigorous parade in a dramatic way and no decent resistance even made, because when these people are defined as religious fanatics, the Qianfancheng government will not have any "mercy" for them.

"I didn't expect there was such an inside story. So, is it possible that the Thorn Sect was arranged by the Qianfancheng government... Wait, if there was a cult in the parade, does this mean that some of them had a change in their thinking? They would inevitably be affected, right?"

Zhu Jue frowned and suddenly looked at Rona and asked.

"Hmm? It should... maybe."

Rona did not understand Zhu Jue's meaning for a moment, so he could only subconsciously nod his head. The latter had already stood up from the sofa and began to pace around the living room.

Zhu Jue did not forget the main reason for investigating the human rights march.

He was not trying to hear a story from three years ago.

His goal was to find out how Sean, who appeared in Chester City and his deputy, went from a warrior who fought for civil rights during the human rights march, transformed into two members of the evil organization who helped to play the murder game in two years.

As long as he finds the relevance of this, he can follow the clues to find the organization that is related to the Mi Ge clan.

This sudden appearance of thorny sect undoubtedly pointed out the direction for Zhu Jue. From a certain perspective, it changed the nature of the human rights march and also caused the bleak end of this huge civil rights movement.

Mi Go...Cult thought...Great rebirth?

Resurrection from the dead sounds quite mysterious. Isn’t its actual meaning the disappearance and regeneration of life consciousness?

Is it possible...

The thoughts in my mind became more and more complicated. Zhu Jue curled his index finger and gently pressed his upper lip, thinking about various possibilities, but because there was no tangible evidence, these thoughts could only be stopped in guessing.

"What about the subsequent situation of the Thorn Sect? They must have gained a lot of believers with this parade. How did Qianfan City deal with them?"

"It's nothing more than being arrested in prison for transformation. Because these believers have no illegal actions other than ideological fanaticism, the Qianfancheng government cannot convict these people, at most it will disrupt public order. As for the issue of faith... Qianfancheng allows the existence of faith."

Qianfan 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, so it is unrealistic to catch people with the issue of faith.

"You mean this Thorn Clan still exists in Qianfan City?"

Since the Qianfancheng government has not attacked the Thorn Sect, does this mean that it acquiesced to the existence of this sect?

Could it be that they are grateful to them for helping them solve the rewards of the big trouble of human rights march?

“Not on the surface!”

Rona's answer was a little vague, and he continued to say,

"Qianfancheng does not recognize the existence of this sect, and does not allow believers who believe in the Thorn Sect to conduct public gatherings and publicity, but there is no clear provision for private gatherings... After the human rights march, we entered a full-scale contraction due to the failure of the plan. There is no follow-up in this regard, so I am not clear about the situation of the Thorn Sect now."

The human rights march can be said to be the last attempt by the federal government in Qianfan City. The large amount of resource investment made them unable to do so in the subsequent resistance, let alone use extra resources to track down this cult organization that has not received any reward.

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

In any case, this thorny sect must have something hidden. Intuition tells Zhu Jue that this clue is very important. Whether you can figure out the inside story of this sect will become the key.

"I will use the resources of the office to conduct investigations as much as possible, but this was three years ago after all, and there was no continuous follow-up. It may be more difficult to find information about this sect in a short time..."

Today is different from the past. The federal government's power in Qianfan City is not much now, and Rona dares not promise to say what he can do, after all, he is not a detective.

"The bottom price of each valuable piece of information is 10,000 federal coins. If you can directly find the stronghold or believers of this sect in Qianfan City, the price will increase several times... no, more than ten times!"

Zhu Jue grabbed the apple in the fruit plate and nibbled, shrugged and continued,

"Do you feel you can overcome the difficulties now?"

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