The Secret Code of Monsters

Chapter 304 Ch.303 Don’t talk to liars

Even the apprentice knows that there are ten gods sleeping in the world during sleep.

Ten, no more, no less.

As a cultist who had caused great trouble to Holy Cross, he obviously would not teach Roland to tell such boring lies about numbers.

"I guess you've never heard of "destiny". "

Roland responded.

Of course.

In fact, Roland feels that "Destiny" is even more famous than "Holy Flame" to a certain extent.

""Pendulum of Destiny", a sect composed of ritualists of different paths. They don't have the 'gods' you call them, nor do they make up a so-called great existence - but these believers have also surrendered their beliefs..."

"Fanatical belief..."

Helen Menzie quipped: “Give it a fluff.”

she says.

""destiny". "

Believe in destiny, pursue destiny, and believe that both the sleeping world and the waking world are running and moving along a pre-set trajectory to some extent.

Although they come from different sects and have different "qualifications", this does not prevent them from giving up where they "should" be and joining a sect without a god.

There is no god, no immortal, and even a sect with incomplete "path".

“They believe in ‘destiny’, and it’s hard to say whether it’s a ‘god’ or not. "

Helen Menzie answers Roland's question - namely, whether there is a need for a embodied 'god'.

The answer is: no.

Faith has its own place, as long as you can find the right people, put them in the right place at the right time, and listen to you say the right words.

"Many people think that I develop and expand the sect in my hands by relying on a mouth that confuses people..."

Perhaps because Roland had fallen into a trap, Helen Menzie did not hide anything from him.

"of course not."

Really smart cultists never rely on demagoguery; that's the trick of a con artist.

They rely on ‘picking and choosing’.

Just like some people have been deceived and deceived all their lives - regardless of men or women, as if they were born to be blessed by con artists and liars.

Once, twice, three times.

countless times.

In their long lives with no trace of wisdom, it seems that they have not learned a lesson from any deception, increased their knowledge, or gained experience - nothing.

They will cry bitterly after being deceived and regret it, which makes people feel pity.

Then.

I will fall for a similar scam next time.

You have to admit that there are such people in the world.

And quite a few.

And cultists? This is exactly what they are looking for - the principles are similar.

If you want steak, you shouldn't talk to the pastry chef and try to trick him into learning how to cook beef so that it's tender and juicy—you should go straight to a chef who knows how to cook steak.

Instead of trying to change a pastry chef.

That's not a good idea, and it's not something a really smart person would do.

What Helen Menzie wants to tell Roland is: Just like the "Pendulum of Destiny", it may not give members a "path", but it can still allow them to surrender their beliefs.

People are often so wonderful.

Sometimes, what they want isn't power...

It can also be said that it is not 'power' in the literal sense.

It could be hatred, identification, similar ideals, shared goals, hope, malice, pain…

Souls of all kinds, the sect only seeks those who recognize it and are recognized by it.

For example, "Pendulum of Destiny".

"A bunch of idiots who think everything is predestined." If Helen Menzie still has so little respect for the Holy Cross (in fact, it is nothing), she only has mockery on the "Pendulum of Destiny".

Divination, astrology, prophecy.

Helen Menzie dismissed these, but told Roland that the "Pendulum of Destiny" was indeed a good example.

Secret sects, secret societies, secret sects, no matter what they are called, are actually built around a "core"——

This core is "the road", the tangible force on the front of the coin;

This core is also "thoughts and beliefs", the invisible force on the other side of the coin.

When the two become one, they form a complete coin.

The Holy Cross, the Ring of Eternal Silence, and the Cradle of Flesh and Flesh, these Orthodox and Crown God sects undoubtedly have both sides.

And small sects like "Pendulum of Destiny" obviously only have one side.

——The advantage is that the members of the sect are brought together by the "invisible force" instead of chasing the "tangible". They seem to be closer and more pure than the "two-sided coin"?

——The disadvantage is that because they belong to different "paths" and each person has different "qualifications", it is very troublesome to manage as a leader. At the same time, it is difficult to say that small sects, sects without ‘coin heads’, can help their believers in terms of ‘tangible’ power.

And the most important point:

Non-Crown God sects are not officially recognized and need to apply and register with the local Orthodox Church, and undergo review by investigators anytime and anywhere.

Generally speaking, it is the gentlemen of Golden Scale and the Supervisory Bureau who do this.

This step screened out 90% of non-Crown God sects.

You don't know how much money and materials you have to spend to bribe these guys who are more greedy and cruel than the coal mine owners, so that you can walk in the sun 'legally'.

Can't get the money?

Feel sorry.

A sect that has not applied for or registered is a cult.

——Of course, these large and small "cults" are different from the Cradle of Flesh and Blood and the Black Urn.

Generally speaking, they are not reported, and the Court of Inquiry does not care much about these people.

The two groups mentioned above are still enthusiastic about this: the Supervisory Bureau and the followers of the Golden Libra.

Having an "evil name" but without the madness and power of a true cultist, isn't this a good thing for advancement?

"You can't expect to use "We all love to drink black tea" as a doctrine and still attract a group of ritualists who are willing to die for you - that is a gathering, not a secret society, Miss Vansittart. You have to understand one thing -"

Helen Menzi's eyes were burning: "The doctrine that can really make people give up their lives has always been picked from the "truth". "

Roland said nothing.

He would go back and discuss with Cinder and Rose about the secret society or sect.

However, he could be sure of one thing:

Their sect would never be officially registered, and it would be unlikely to be "law-abiding" in the future...

After that, Helen Menzi began to tell Roland some details:

How to get along with mortals, how to lead believers, which era of history is most convenient to use when writing doctrines, how to face members in normal times, and which collection of texts is best to extract and splice the sect's motto...

She is more familiar with the sect than anyone Roland has ever met.

She is a capable person.

Roland sincerely thanked her for this: "If it weren't for you, I think I would have to live with doubts for a long time."

"This is our deal," Helen Menzi laughed dumbly: "Take away the wonder and complete the ritual I mentioned - if you still think there is a risk, you can throw the wonder to one of your enemies..."

"That's always possible, right? "

Roland blinked, his arms dropped, his right foot drew an arc, and landed behind his left heel.

The upper body was straight, and the legs were bent.

This was the lady's etiquette that Shandel taught her.

"How am I doing, Ms. Menzi."

Helen Menzi didn't know what he meant, and was silent for a few breaths, and forced a smile: "Very good... You learned very well."

This made Roland's face fall immediately.

"I only learned for half an hour! The father of all things! How can this be "very good"? It seems that you are a liar, Ms. Menzi."

Helen Menzi didn't expect that things would take a sudden turn for the worse in such an unexpected way. Her voice couldn't help but rise a few degrees: "Wait, wait-"

"Uncle told me not to talk to liars and agree to anything they said."

The angry "lady" picked up her skirt and went out: "Goodbye, Ms. Liar."
