Galvins of the Tiga world

Chapter 51 Religious groups
"No matter what, those lunatics are not something we can provoke."

Seeing that Xue Na realized the seriousness of the problem, Onoda's face softened a little, and then continued to speak.

"This is what I hate the most about Japan. Crazies like that can exist legally!"

In the common sense of ordinary people, a normal country absolutely does not allow the existence of cults.

This is true even for those religious countries that are based on religion.

In other words, a country founded on religion is even more repulsive of the existence of heretics.

However, due to various problems left over from history, Japan, which joined the TPC joint organization, allowed the existence of various private sects.

In fact, this period of history can even be traced back to the end of World War II.

At that time, since the Japanese mainland was occupied by the United States, it was actually reduced to a colony of the United States.

The emperor's authority came to an abrupt end, and the entire Japanese society formed a vacuum of faith.

In order to suppress Bushido in Japan, the United States allowed various faiths into Japan.

A large number of religious groups have entered Japan to preach, and various cults have also taken advantage of the opportunity to gain a firm foothold in Japan and grow stronger.

Compared with other organizations, religious groups have a very obvious advantage, that is, tax exemption.

Under U.S. law, religious organizations enjoy tax exemptions and a [-] percent profit margin.

For example, if a church receives a donation of 100 million dollars a year, the church can freely dispose of the 100 million dollars without paying a penny of tax.

Churches are nominally positive, helping the poor, teaching people to do good deeds, and positively influencing those around them to do meaningful work.

Therefore, the US government basically does not interfere in religious affairs.

This is especially important for some small churches.

The United States also implemented this policy in Japan, which naturally became an important reason for the explosive growth of Japanese religious groups after the war.

Religious groups and companies are essentially interest groups, but religious groups have no risks and are tax-free, so many Japanese elites would rather run religious groups than run companies.

Japan's economy was recovering rapidly after World War II, but the economy remained difficult, which made religious groups very attractive.

Many rich people set up a religious organization, donate money to this religious organization, and then transfer the money through the religious organization, thus saving a lot of expenses.

Over time, various cult groups that emerged in an endless stream became a specialty of Japan.

This point has not changed even after Japan joined the TPC, and various private religious groups are prevalent throughout the country.

The "Tianyi Sect" that Xue Na mentioned earlier is one of them.

This religious group not only has huge funds and the support of believers, but also has a secret armed team inside, dedicated to finding the "man of God" from heaven.

"Forget it, let's not talk about those lunatics."

Quickly skipping this topic, Onoda clearly knew Xue Na's character.

Although the other party always had some unrealistic fantasies, as far as the ability of a reporter was concerned, this eldest lady was beyond doubt.

"Since you chose this beach as your destination, you must have found some clues, right?"

Onoda's question seems to be doubtful, but it is actually a kind of speculation and conviction.

This can also be seen from the distribution and scope of activities of the Tianyi Sect. Amami City must have relevant information about the "grandfather and grandson" in the photo.

"Yes, based on my restoration and analysis of the photo ten years ago, it can be confirmed that the photo was taken on this beach."

After being diverted by Onoda, Xue Na regained her previous enthusiasm and confidence.

"And judging from the costumes on the photo, the woman who is suspected of being an 'Eternal Life' must have settled near here..."

Having said that, Xue Na's tone paused a little, and she looked at Onoda who was still in deep thought with a rather expectant gaze.

"so what?"

Immediately understood Xue Na's little thoughts, Onoda had no choice but to ask, dumbfounded.

This young lady may indeed have what it takes to be a top reporter in terms of ability.

But when it comes to your own personality and thoughts, it seems a bit too naive and naive.

Especially this kind of personality that needs to be coaxed all the time, it is no different from a child, I really don't know how she grew up to such an old age.

"So I asked my friend to investigate the residents nearby, and I found some strange places."

"There is a house where the property tax is paid every year, and all kinds of daily utility bills have not fallen, but few people know the specific information of the owner of the house."

"The only homeowner information that can be found is an old man who died ten years ago."

Hearing what Xue Na said, Onoda's sensitive nerves dedicated to reporters were stimulated, and his expression became a little serious.

"Ten years ago again?"

The girl who is suspected of being an "immortal" took her last photo ten years ago.

The owner of this house also died ten years ago.

This is obviously impossible to be a coincidence, and there must be some kind of hidden connection hidden in it.

Although Onoda still doesn't believe that the so-called "immortals" that Xue Na said really exist, these coincidences are enough to prove that the clues the two of them are pursuing are not meaningless.

"That's right, it was indeed ten years ago."

"In addition, my friend also investigated an additional piece of information, that is, the original origin of Tianyi Sect seems to be Amami Island."

When she said this, Xue Na was actually not sure whether there was an inevitable connection between the two.

However, considering the danger of Tianyi Sect, Xue Na felt that it was necessary to emphasize and explain this point to Onoda.

"Original place of origin?"

A girl suspected of being an "immortal", an old man who died ten years ago, the origin of the Tianyi Sect...

All these clues are related to Amami Island.

Onoda had to admit that he and Xue Na bumped into a big fish by accident this time.

"Where is the house you investigated?"

After thinking for a while, Onoda revived his spirit, and devoted himself wholeheartedly to the investigation of this "urban legend" for the first time.

The legend of the "immortal" is of course somewhat nonsense.

But the origin story of a sect should be considered a good headline, right?
If some grievances and hatreds can be involved in it, its value will be even higher, and it is not in vain for me to make a trip.

"It's not far from here, I'll take you there now!"

Seeing that her investigation was affirmed by Onoda, the smile on Xue Na's face became brighter.

To get the affirmation of seniors, for Xue Na, it is far more exciting than investigating and sorting out those complicated clues and information.
