Law Enforcer's Handbook

Chapter 289 Between the Stars
Song Lan has never gone to church or attended a church service. All she knows about the church and theology is limited to movies and TV shows, which mentions the method and process of confession.

Among them, the one he had the most contact with was the consulting slice of a cyber nun.

In a small dark room, through the baffle, she told the clergy the deepest sins in her heart, so as to beg God's forgiveness. The penitents were out of place.

He came to the location provided by Lu Xiang with full expectation.

No. 123, Julu Street, North District, Round Log Church.

He decided to explore how the priesthood of 2166 differed from that of 2020.

Indeed, as Lu Xiang said, this church has been abandoned for a long time, and the courtyard is overgrown with weeds. From a distance, the whole church gives people a gloomy feeling. There are many weird legends about the log church in the area.

But in fact, before the monks from the third country entered the church, it was a large dating place for homeless people. Lu Xiang said that most of the horrible strange stories were made up by homeless people. occupy their living quarters.

And after the Lunar Eclipse Cult moved in, all the idlers were kicked out.

"Hello, I heard that this is the Lunar Eclipse Sect."

When they came to the door of the church, Song Lan took the initiative to talk to the believers at the door, "I saw the advertisement you posted. To be honest, my life has been terrible recently. I didn't close my eyes all night because of work. This day is really unbearable.”

"plz follow me."

Believers in gray-and-white nun uniforms welcomed Song Lan.

After they released the advertisement, the church welcomed visitors one after another, but their reasons for coming here were almost all carved out of the same mold, and they could all be summed up as "unsatisfactory life".

But want to come too.

In a place like the seventeenth district, how many people can live happily?

"Father Bruno will show you the way."

At least, the nuns of the Eclipse Cult treated them well, and she guided Song Lan to the waiting area.

There were more people who came to pray than Song Lan imagined. There were benches lined up in the waiting area, and there were several people before him. When he arrived at the waiting area, someone happened to come out from a place similar to a confessional.

However, the Lunar Eclipse Sect calls this small soundproof room the "star room".

The expression on the face of the person who came out was in stark contrast to that of the waiting people. His eyes were bright, as if he had unloaded all the burdens and was ready to welcome his new life.

This person is a member of a gang.

As a law enforcement officer, Song Lan recognized the gang tattoo on the opponent's neck at a glance, and there was a pistol pinned to his waist.

"He's here to collect protection money."

The scruffy-looking middle-aged man beside Song Lan whispered, "He wasn't like this when he came in."

He witnessed the whole process of this gangster drawing his gun and breaking into the star room. When he broke in, he also yelled loudly for the clergy in the church to hand over all the money, as if he had knocked over his head with illegal drugs.

No one knew what Father Bruno had said to him in the astrology room to turn a surly gangster into what he was.

Song Lan replied, "This shows that the church does have two schools of thought."

"I think you are so young, how could you think of coming here?"

The sloppy middle-aged man took the opportunity to continue the conversation.

"Work is not going well."

Without changing his face, Song Lan mentioned the reason that 99% of the general public in District [-] would give, "What about you?"

"The job is gone, and the wife ran away with someone."

The man's tone was mixed with a sense of powerlessness and exhaustion for life, "I heard that there is some help here, so come and try your luck."

……

In the next quarter of an hour, Song Lan witnessed with his own eyes the whole process of the Moon Eclipse teaching changing a person.

The sloppy middle-aged man who talked to him went in for less than 5 minutes. He didn't know what Father Bruno said to him inside, but when he came out, his whole body was completely new. He gestured a thumbs up.

In less than 5 minutes, a middle-aged man who has lost hope in life can rekindle his passion. This Father Bruno...

He must have mastered the ultimate esoteric art of mouth escape.

He also tried to comfort the middle-aged man when he talked to him, but it failed to have any positive effect.

With the idea of ​​mutual learning and communication, Song Lan walked into the star room under the greeting of the priests. Unlike the small black room in his inherent impression, the room was lit up with a dark blue halo, and the room was surrounded by holographic imaging technology. A starry sky is constructed, making people feel as if they are among the stars.

Are they enlightening those people through such esoteric topics as "the end of the universe"?
Just when Song Lan had such an idea, a thought that didn't belong to him broke into his brain.

"Open your heart to the moon and the stars."

Said the whisper in the head.

This kind of thought that popped up suddenly was somewhat similar to the last time he tried to communicate with the Devourer, but it was much simpler, like some kind of pre-set instructions, repeated in your mind until You follow its will.

Song Lan suddenly understood why the people who entered this room before left suddenly understood.

This is not a verbal escape at all, but a rewriting of thinking from the mother's will.

Medel said that without alpha blockers, ordinary people are not strong enough to resist the mother's will. At the same time, he also pointed out that he is a different kind of person who can communicate with the Devourer without the need for blockers.

In the records of Yun Gang Biopharmaceuticals, even those who are proficient in mind rewriting and interference type psychics are unable to resist the invasion of the mother's consciousness.

After realizing this point, Song Lan was greatly disappointed.

He had expected that this would be a seminar on how to learn how to cheat, but he didn't expect that the other party would adopt such a direct and rude method.

This is tantamount to forcibly integrating the citizens.

"I knew you would come."

Father Bruno's voice came from the other end of the baffle, "Instead of looking for you, it's better for you to come to the door."

This is obviously not the way to deal with the words spoken by ordinary prayers.

They believe that the person they are really looking for is someone who has learned about the influence of Lunar Eclipse Cult on ordinary citizens and who can avoid the influence of mother's thinking.

They seemed to have realized that the mother's thinking hadn't worked, so they deduced Song Lan's identity and the purpose of this trip, "So, where do we start?"

Father Bruno said, "Let's start with the fact that you stole our things from our territory... New Moon, where are you now?"

　Thank you for the 1500 starting coins that I am so handsome!
　　Thank you Kaishakai for the 100 starting coins!
