My Adventure Diary of Reincarnating as a Bad Woman

"..."

The young man became more and more excited as he spoke. The life club he mentioned had become a powerful organization blessed by the gods and possessed immense power.

And members like him are the chosen ones to spread the gospel for the church.

Noita looked at the excited young man expressionlessly, feeling a little overwhelmed.

She knew there were quite a few Serkar cults, but she couldn't just walk two steps and run into one.

Chapter 19: Within ten steps, the gun is fast and accurate

Noita listened patiently to the young man's preaching without saying a word.

Because of her indifference, the young man was now a little embarrassed. To prevent him from hiding his face and running away, Noita asked at the right time: "Such a great church, how can I join? Do I need to pay dues? How about communion?"

“No membership fees are required. We are a non-profit organization.”

"Then where does the funding for your activities come from? Don't you need money for daily activities?"

“It all depends on everyone’s voluntary donations.”

"Interesting. Just by donating money, you can gain extraordinary powers?"

"It's okay not to donate money. The church has its own rules and regulations. As long as you develop enough followers, the leader will also grant members extraordinary powers."

Sounds more like a cult.

Noita was thoughtful, but she didn't forget her original intention: "How about the Eucharist?"

"We usually eat meat and potatoes and meat and mashed potatoes."

"It seems possible." Noita smiled. "Can I join you? And who are you? I'm sorry, I really don't remember you."

The young man replied, "My name is Bailey. This is the first time we meet. I heard from our neighbors that you were in trouble, and I thought the church could help you, so I came to invite you to join us."

"I see."

It turns out that he and Adele didn't know each other.

Noita's smile widened as she walked and talked with the young man towards the Life Society's base.

On the way, Bailey and Noita gave a detailed introduction to the origins of the Life Society. It was a sect that was established only a few months ago. The leader was originally just an ordinary person. One day, he was inspired by God and gained divine power, which saved the community from the oppression of gangs.

Noita always kept a polite smile, occasionally responding with just the right amount of surprise and curiosity, which made Bailey feel elated and always in the mood to talk.

This led to Bailey revealing all of his extraordinary abilities.

According to him, he originally had very little strength, was often bullied, and couldn't do his job well. But after joining the Life Society, he was highly regarded by the leader. The leader not only performed a supernatural ritual for him, greatly increasing his strength and speed, but also entrusted him with the important mission of forming the sect's armed forces.

Noita hinted at what the so-called huge improvement meant, and found out that it was to transform him from a below-average person into a strong man who could squat while carrying a hundred kilograms of cargo.

The effect is remarkable.

But Bailey is clearly not a professional yet.

Only then did Noita become interested. She released a small amount of hormones to make the young man excited and speed up. Soon they arrived at the Life Society base camp.

The base camp's exterior is plain, without any eye-catching decorations or signs, and it looks like just an ordinary home.

There were many people wandering around the streets of this community, all of whom were the eyes and ears of the Life Society. The young people greeted them enthusiastically and received many respectful responses. Women and children were not afraid of Bailey and there was no disgust in their eyes when they saw him.

When he arrived at the base camp, the young man pushed the door open and stepped over the threshold. The low and solemn music reached Noita's ears.

Noita took a step back and the music disappeared; he took a step forward and the music reappeared.

The music can only be heard when you enter the house. Even if there is only a door between them, you can't hear a sound as long as you don't walk into the house.

The layout is quite comprehensive.

After passing through the entrance hall, the place that should have been the living room has been converted into a church. The believers sit in several small circles, thanking the church for its blessings and help. The gramophone on the low cabinet against the wall is playing music diligently, and two kind-looking pastors, a man and a woman, are singing nearby.

"Auntie, I'm back."

Bailey trotted around the believers and pointed at Noita in front of a pastor. "This is the person in distress who wants to join the church. I'll bring her to see the leader."

The priest looked at Noita and nodded with approval.

"Take her in, the leader is resting."

A secret door opened, and a dark corridor appeared before the girl. As she walked into the corridor, the music disappeared again, and only the sound of footsteps echoed in the darkness.

The walls of the corridor were covered with colorful murals. Noita took a quick look and found that they were the "Sutra on Solving Difficulties Under the Moon in the Heaven of Joy", which was clearly one of the scriptures included in the Orthodox Compassion and Relief Society.

Noita had seen the complete mural in the Tianbei Cathedral and was deeply impressed by it.

Dark and enclosed places always foster tension and make people feel fearful, and the corridor is undoubtedly a successful intimidation design. It will make people nervous and suspicious. If you want to make believers feel awe, it is most appropriate to arrange religious objects and ghostly murals here.

But what Noita didn't expect was that life would dare to copy the Orthodox murals.

I'm really not afraid of being detected and physically destroyed.

"Bailey, what's going on?"

At the end of the corridor was a bright room without windows, lit by oil lamps and candles. The leader was sitting on the sofa. He was nearly middle-aged, with thick hair and a tall and strong physique.

He is sitting behind the wooden table, reading a book.

"There's a believer who wants to join us."

"Who?" The leader looked up and saw Noita. "Oh, I know you, Miss Adele. Hello."

"Hello, have we met before?"

"Of course, I have a history with your parents." The leader glanced at Bailey and said, "Bailey, go and rest first. I have something to say to her."

Bailey leaves.

The leader leaned back in his chair leisurely and said nostalgically, "Time flies so fast. You've grown up in the blink of an eye. If I had stayed in Serkar, maybe I could have a child."

"I have no impression of you."

"That's because I left Serkar to work outside when you were born, and only came back half a year ago." The leader asked, "How are your parents?"

"They're missing."

"Oh~ I'm so... sorry."

The leader apologized and said, "How can I help you? As long as it is within my ability."

Noita's nose moved slightly, and she smelled an unusual light and elegant fragrance. The smell was like a hand massaging her cerebral cortex, loosening her emotions, making her more trusting and wanting to confide in others.

She quietly intercepted a small amount of fragrance and stored it in her body.

Good stuff, it’s hairy.

On the surface, Noita said dejectedly: "I don't know. Bailey said that life would be able to help me. He said you can give people supernatural powers, so I came."

"I've heard about you. The harassment from the bad gangs is indeed disturbing. Look at you, so haggard, wandering like a rabbit on the snow. I can indeed make you stronger, but it's still not easy to rely on it to fight against a gang. The Kaza Brotherhood has professionals, and it's basically impossible for mortals to defeat professionals."

Noita was certain that the leader was exaggerating, but she did not point it out. She just followed the leader's words and showed a worried and troubled expression.

"But the Kaza Brotherhood has been too busy to pay attention to you lately. There's news that the leader of the Rango Clan was murdered in broad daylight. The Kaza Brotherhood is a vassal of the Rango Clan and follows its lead. With the Rango Clan in turmoil over the leadership struggle, the Kaza Brotherhood is also eager to make a move, hoping to get a piece of the action."

Noita's eyes lit up.

The leader said kindly, "You can live a peaceful life now."

The leader stood up and invited Noita to go out into the world: "The Life Society is actually a big family that helps each other. You can try to adapt to the life of the church."

In the corridor, Noita looked at the murals and said tentatively, "I think I've seen these murals before."

The leader paused and asked, "Where have you seen me before?"

"Heavenly Cup Cathedral."

The moment the words came out of his mouth, a shadow suddenly rose from the ground and wrapped around Noita.

The leader's shadow surged, and a slender staff appeared in his hand. The corridor suddenly became dim. Noita felt the air become stagnant, dragging her body like a quagmire.

The Beast's Roaring Fury slid into Noita's hand and aimed at Shadow.

Bang!

The bullets shot through the shadows, hit the wall and rolled along the wall. The broken shadows fell like torn spider webs. The gunfire was bright and the dangerous smell of gunpowder made the leader squint his eyes.

"Be careful, bullets don't have eyes."

The gun is pointed at the leader. If he moves again, the next shot will miss.

Chapter 20 Goodwill

Gunfire ignites shadows, you are beneath the thick earth, pain rises like clouds, hunger and thirst permeate all directions. You are being invaded by an unknown atmosphere, and your emotions are leaning towards anger.

The disguise of the illusion ring was broken by the pistol shot, and the leader's attack was destroyed by the bullet. The bullet tore through the stagnant air and made the leader dare not act rashly.

Shadows surged restlessly, the mage and the gunman confronted each other, and the pits on the surface of the mural were strong evidence of the lethality of the Beast's Roar - since it could leave holes in the wall, it could also leave bigger wounds on the leader.

The leader is also knowledgeable and naturally knows the power of firearms.

The confrontation lasted only a short time. The leader was the first to put down his accumulated power and knocked the cane-shaped staff towards the aisle. With a bang, the gloomy atmosphere disappeared immediately and the corridor returned to its original brightness.

"Fighting here would be disastrous for both sides. How about a temporary reconciliation? I apologize for the attack and will not pursue the matter of you disguising yourself and invading my territory."

"Bullshit."

Noita said, "It was your people who invited me to join the Life Society and brought me here. And you were the one who started the fight first. Don't pretend to be innocent."

Besides, the logs all sounded the alarm, saying that something was disturbing the mood.

"If you want to trace it back to the source, I took action because of your temptation."

The leader looked up at the mural in the candlelight and said with emotion, "You recognized this mural. Even though I made many changes, you still pointed out the location of the original painting it corresponded to. I was worried that you were from the Compassionate Rescue Society, so I took action."

A clumsy lie.

Noita pulled the trigger in dissatisfaction, and the bullet flew past the leader's head, making him shut up.

"I don't want to hear your excuses, you bastard. Don't think I don't know how long it takes for a mage to cast a spell. If you didn't plan it in advance, how could you cast a spell against me right after I finished speaking?"

Noita could guarantee with her psychic power that the leader had a strong murderous intention towards her. After she revealed the address of the Heavenly Cup Church, this murderous intention reached its peak, prompting the leader to take action against him.

Even though he had murderous intentions, he maintained complete restraint and only used control spells against her.

This was how he secured a good outcome by not being shot to death.

The corridor was silent for a while. Noita looked to the end of the corridor to confirm that there was no movement behind the door.

The sound insulation arranged by the leader here is excellent. The sound of gunfire was eliminated during the transmission process and did not reach the outside.

Noita led the leader back to the room where they met. She took the leader's throne and thought about what to do next.

At first, I came here just to gain some extra experience points, but after arriving, I found that this community is actually well managed. The Elders Council and other upper-level officials have taken a laissez-faire attitude towards the chaos in Serkar, so someone has to fill the vacancies in grassroots functions.

Life will undoubtedly take on this responsibility.

Initially, community security was the responsibility of gangs, but gangs were one of the sources of chaos. Moreover, the gangs were from outside and were proficient in collecting protection fees and selling illegal substances. They were domineering and arrogant, making people dare not speak out.

Under pressure, life will emerge.

A professional who had traveled extensively and recently returned to his hometown led the young and middle-aged people in the community to form their own armed group to fight against the gangs, and he succeeded.

On the way here with Bailey, we can also see that the people in the community don’t actually hate life.

By now, Noita felt that he had come to the wrong place. His life would be much better than that of other evil forces. Killing the leader now would make the rare peace in this community come to nothing.

She couldn't bear it, but it was too much trouble for her to take the blame.

As Noita pondered these things, she suddenly realized the only flaw in her perfect self.

"I am too moral." She muttered softly. Upon hearing this, the leader's expression twisted into a bitter gourd. Obviously, he did not expect Noita to be so narcissistic.

After thinking hard for a long time, Noita looked up and asked, "Hey, do you think you deserve to die? Let's not talk about anything other than Serkar. Just tell me, since you returned to your hometown, how do you feel about what you have done?"

"I think I did some good things."

"What kind of mentality did you have in forming a life society? Honestly, I can read minds."

The girl's serious tone made the leader look stern.

He saw the pure blue light in the girl's eyes and immediately realized that she was a psychic.

Mind reading is a branch of psychic power. The leader will not bet on whether Noita can really read minds. He will tell the truth.

The leader thought deeply for a while, and finally said, "For money."
