Her level of attention suddenly increased significantly.

Do you think I would believe such nonsense?

She continued to feign indifference, wanting to get more information.

"If you don't believe it, call this number this weekend and we will send someone to pick you up and take you to the venue so you can witness a 'miracle.' There will also be many high-society people there, which is a great opportunity for ordinary people like you to make connections with the powerful and influential."

Granny Tanaka vaguely sensed that the girl in front of her was not easy to deal with, so she changed her strategy and used a provocation tactic, handing out a flyer in her hand.

"Interesting! I'll be there then, and I'd like to see just how you're going to pull this trick!"

Nissougu Senxia, ​​with an arrogant demeanor, casually accepted the flyer, indicating a certain attitude.

Grandma Tanaka's eyes lit up with joy.

She believed that once they arrived at the venue and witnessed that magical scene, even the naive little girl in front of her would be completely captivated!

"Then I'll be going now, little sister."

Granny Tanaka turned and left, her smile behind her back somewhat wicked.

"As expected, it's a charity."

Nibutani Morika glanced at the leaflets that had been delivered. They contained rather inflammatory language, describing the horrific aftermath of the apocalypse, the greatness of the savior god, and the doctrines of the Salvation Church, among other things…

"Senxia, ​​did you chase that old woman away?"

Mrs. Dansheng leaned half her body out.

"more or less."

Dansheng Valley Senxia answered casually.

Sure enough, the missionaries from the Salvation Church did not harass the Nissouya family for the next two days.

She thought the weekend would pass quickly.

But on Friday, a little incident occurred.

A neighbor suddenly came to her door. She was a high school girl about the same age as her, so they had chatted a few words before and knew each other.

"Hoshimi, what brings you here?"

Nishikawa Morika opened the door and welcomed the other party in.

"Danyu-kun, I'm here to share something happy with you... After all, I don't have many friends."

"Really? Then I'll listen."

Hoshimi Hitomi's innocent smile was infectious, and even she smiled back.

However, as the girl next door recounted her story, Nibutani Morika's expression grew increasingly gloomy.

"Well, recently my dad and I joined the great cult! My dad was lucky enough to receive the blessing of the cult leader; the aftereffects of an accidental injury to his left foot were cured, and now he can move around like a normal person. As for me, I also met my soulmate. He's the son of a rich family, very handsome, and very gentle with me. He even said that if I get pregnant, he'll marry me..."

The girl's fingers were interlaced, and the smile on her face was so happy.

It all sounds like a good thing.

but……

Is it really that good?

Or is it because I prejudicially believe they are a cult, and they are actually just doing good deeds under the guise of religion?

Nishikawa Morika couldn't help but start to doubt herself.

"The God of Salvation truly exists, bringing us happiness. Since joining the cult, only good things have happened to us. Dansheng Valley, why don't you join us too? You will surely be happy as well! The divine being will bring us salvation and good news!"

With a devout expression, Hoshimi Hitomi turned her head, grabbed her hand, and pulled it to her chest.

"I haven't made a decision yet, but I'll attend your party this weekend."

Nishikawa Morika responded somewhat awkwardly.

Seeing that the girl next door was about to become a fanatic, she decided not to say anything too extreme and instead planned to investigate the situation first before taking any action.

However, her intuition told her that the purpose of the Relief Cult was not so simple. Using supernatural power to help people was not in line with the inherently evil nature of humankind.

"That's wonderful! Let's go together then! Okay, I need to go back and continue praying. Bye-bye, Dansheng Valley~"

Hoshimi Hitomi waved happily and left.

"Faith, how terrifying... It actually turned that timid girl into this. Or is it the magic of love?"

Dansheng Valley Mori Natsu lowered her hand, her eyes narrowed, and her smile gradually disappeared.

"On another note, our trust in seekers of the Way... well, it seems I can understand it now."

She suddenly thought of this and laughed again.

That night.

Nishikawa Morika specifically inquired about this matter.

She learned more information from her mother.

"So that's how it is! No wonder her father was borrowing money from us neighbors a few days ago... Looks like he went to do some good deeds. Luckily we didn't lend him any, otherwise we might not have gotten it back... Senxia, ​​don't try to persuade him, it's no use, that kind of person is already obsessed."

They donated money to religion in order to curry favor with the powerful and influential.

This is Mrs. Dansheng Valley's opinion.

The signs are already emerging.

"Hey……"

Dansheng Valley Mori Natsu let out a deep sigh, feeling both emotional and helpless.

Things on the internet are too distant and too numerous; a few words are not enough to describe them, and perhaps because she doesn't know them, she can't empathize with them.

It's only when something like this happens to someone you know that you can truly empathize.

"I hope this isn't as cruel as I imagine."

"otherwise……"

She clenched her fist, and the veins on her forehead were faintly visible. With the surge of spiritual energy, the curtains in the room rose even without wind.

"The Relief Church, you will provoke Morisummer's murderous intent!"

Chapter 39 The Infiltrated... The Elf Mother.

Sunday morning.

Nishikawa Morika walked out of the house carrying a handbag containing some of the props she needed.

Considering the potential for intense scenes, and unable to erase her own presence like Hasegawa, disguise is essential for her.

"Good morning, Dansheng Valley."

The girl next door greeted me as she walked over. She was dressed in all black with various strange symbols on her clothes, and she wore a crystal necklace as an ornament.

This is clearly the uniform of the 'Relief Church'.

Good morning, Hoshimi.

Dansheng Valley Mori Natsu only glanced at it briefly, not letting her notice.

"Dansheng Valley, I believe this journey will change your perception of our 'Salvation Cult.' The end times are coming, and only the God of Salvation can save us..."

Hitomi Hoshimi continued talking incessantly in his ear.

She turned her head away, trying to hide her somewhat impatient look.

This kind of person who keeps repeating the same thing is more annoying than a little middle school student.

This is yet another bad image.

Two minutes later, a white van pulled up and opened its door.

"There are two seats left, just right, please come up quickly."

Grandma Tanaka greeted the two of them from her seat.

When she got into the car, Nibuya Morika took a quick look at the situation inside. Apart from Granny Tanaka, Hoshimi, and the driver, everyone else was dressed in ordinary clothes and looked a little nervous. They were obviously newcomers like her, participating for the first time.

It seems that the missionary work of the Relief Church is indeed going very smoothly.

"Speaking of which, I haven't heard of the Relief Church yet. Grandma Tanaka, could you tell me about it?"

Nishikawa Morika continued to gather information.

"Our Relief Cult was founded three months ago. Thanks to our leader's divine power to bring the dead back to life, more and more people will soon be bathed in our God's glory. Don't worry, we are not that kind of suspicious group. Only after you witness the leader's blessing will you realize the true nature of this world..."

What Granny Tanaka said held no appeal for her, but the other four were quite interested.

They were all drawn there by the so-called 'divine power,' either seeking the extraordinary or needing to be saved.

Dansheng Valley could understand it; the shock of seeing the seeker display superpowers for the first time in front of them still lingered in her heart.

The van drove along, passing through streets, and the number of trees around it increased.

This is gradually moving away from the city center.

Finally, the van stopped in front of a villa that looked at least a hundred years old in the mountains.

As can be seen, several cars of various kinds are parked in the huge courtyard, indicating that the number of people attending this gathering is not small.

"Please follow us."

After getting out of the car, Granny Tanaka led them into the huge villa.

After walking through a red-carpeted corridor and turning several corners, you arrive at a relatively large room where a huge, snowflake-like crystal is enshrined, which is the representative symbol of the Sacred Heart Church.

After their arrival, there were already more than thirty people in the room, including several religious members such as Hoshimi Hitomi standing guard on one side.

"Was this supposed to be a party? Why did you bring us here?"

"Where is the Master? Wasn't he supposed to perform a miracle for us?!"

"Could this actually be a pyramid scheme?"

The crowd was noisy.

Granny Tanaka came to the crowd and clapped her hands, saying, "I know you are all very excited, but the leader is still listening to the divine decree, so he is not available at the moment. Since you all have the idea of ​​joining us, I intend to let you have a more complete understanding of our Relief Church... Look here, everyone."

At the place where the crystal was offered, a projection screen was lowered, and then various strange information was projected, including knowledge about celestial bodies, explanations about the soul and salvation, and the true nature of some news stories that appeared in the public eye, such as the existence of superpowers...

The Redemption Church's plan is to use this method to gradually increase people's acceptance of its beliefs, then demonstrate supernatural dangers to create a sufficient sense of crisis, so that people will pray for protection and salvation.

Dansheng Tanimori saw through this idea at a glance and was not interested.

Several people lost patience and wanted to leave, but were 'persuaded' with various reasons.

"There's no phone signal here?"

Dansheng Valley Mori Natsu secretly took out her phone, and frowned when she noticed this.

If we can't communicate with others in a timely manner, it could be troublesome if something unexpected happens.

They had each encountered danger several times before and had cooperated with each other to resolve the crisis.

"We must find a chance to get out..."

Dansheng Valley Senxia pondered to herself.

Whether for her own safety or to find an opportunity to probe the situation, she needed to do this.

"Hoshimi, I'm going to the restroom."

"Then I'll go with you..."

The girl next door readily agreed to her request and led her toward the restroom.

Along the way, at several bends, there were members of the sect dressed in similar uniforms standing guard.

They were clearly there to monitor her, as was the girl who came with her.

Fortunately, the bathroom here is a relatively luxurious single room, so Hoshimi Hitomi was waiting outside, giving her room to make her move.

Using her spiritual power and increasingly sophisticated control, she easily removed the screws securing the ventilation window, then effortlessly leaped out and landed lightly on the grass behind the villa.

After confirming that no one had noticed her, she took three steps at a time and easily crossed the smooth wall more than three meters high, disappearing into the dense forest.
