Chapter 1039: ‘Followers’ of ‘K’?

"I have two research topics now,"

Bright daylight shines on the old floor tiles and the small outdoor round table of the street cafe. The girl in a simple dress puts her hands on the keyboard of the thin laptop in front of her, sliding the computer's web page with her mouse and touching it. He turned on his earphones and said slowly,

"One is an investigative report on collective traumatic memory and belief in God K in the Western Land region. You know, the last time K showed his body and penetrated the huge bloody sun in the sky, it was destroyed by tens of millions of people. People directly witness,

"Although the institute and World Tree spent a lot of time and used extraordinary items to 'cover up' the memories of everyone directly covered by the Blood Sun, these memories have not completely disappeared, and there are no imprints imprinted into the subconscious. Way to erase.

"The vague memory of 'K' destroying the Blood Sun has spawned a large number of worship phenomena about the 'Savior God K' in the core area shrouded by the previous Blood Sun.

"In addition to the core area, there are also a large number of 'K worshipers' in the 'peripheral areas' that were previously radiated by the power of the Blood Sun and did not directly see the Blood Sun and the scene that day.

"And these radiation areas occupy the core and most densely populated areas of the Western Territory, covering hundreds of millions of people.

“In fact, according to the intelligence we have obtained, many primitive sects with the belief in God ‘K’ as the core have been formed in some areas.

"With such a large scope and such a large population base, if there is any problem at all, it will be a big trouble.

"So both the senior management of the institute and Mr. Wang are very concerned about the specific situation of the 'K-worship' phenomenon in various regions."

The girl paused while sliding the mouse and shrugged, "So I was wondering if I could go take a closer look and see what the level of the 'K-worship' phenomenon is in various parts of the Western Territories."

She put her hands on the keyboard, entered new information in the search box, and hit Enter.

Then she made a movement, as if something was said on the phone. While waiting for the web page to refresh, she slowly replied,

"Another topic?"

The computer page refreshed, and the girl moved the mouse.

"Your coffee."

At this time, a waiter brought over a cup of hot coffee.

"Thanks,"

The girl took the coffee and thanked her in her not-so-fluent Ika language. She looked back at the screen and continued, "The other topic actually does the same thing as this one, which is to investigate various regions in the West. The specific situation of the residents,

"Didn't I tell you, senior sister, before that the World Tree headquarters actually has no ruling power over the major branches. The extraordinary forces in various places have their own factions, just like the princes, they follow the orders but not the propaganda.

“Every time something happens to the World Tree headquarters, they just ask them to provide some people and money. The personnel and finance are not in the hands of World Tree.

“Sir, as the special adviser to World Tree this time, he is here to deal with this problem.

"I took a look at the information over the years. The information reported by World Tree branches to the headquarters is basically the talk of 'national peace and prosperity'. As long as they don't rebel, World Tree headquarters seems to basically ignore them.

"According to my experience from history books, local forces in this situation are generally not too honest, and most of the beautiful words about 'the country is peaceful and the people are peaceful, singing and dancing are peaceful' are mostly false.

“So I was thinking about whether I should go see it myself and make an investigation report or something.

"Actually, these two topics can be done together. The investigation of the 'K-worship' phenomenon will most likely be inseparable from the investigation of the extraordinary forces in each region and the specific conditions of the residents under their rule."

The girl raised her hands, looked at the sky above her head, and stretched.

The other end of the phone seemed to ask her about travel again, and she continued to answer,

"Yes, it's necessary to leave the Republic of Ika,"

"I'm going to start with the Turok Republic. This country is Ika's eastern neighbor and is also the area where World Tree has the strongest local power. The situation there should be somewhat representative.

“I bought a late train ticket tonight, from the city of Mote to Fikre, the capital of Turok, with a train transfer at a border city and some sleep. I’ll probably arrive tomorrow morning.

"Don't worry about me, senior sister,"

The girl waved her fist in the air and said with a smile, "I'm not weak either. It's no problem to save my life. Besides, I asked my husband for an identity permit. Now there are people from my husband everywhere. If I have any questions, I can just go to them directly."

"Of course, in principle, I can definitely do it without exposing my identity."

She picked up the coffee on the table, took a sip, and said with a smile, "In ancient times, I was called an imperial envoy, and I paid a private visit incognito!"

Then she put down the coffee cup and nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, "Okay, okay, I will practice boxing seriously. I won't relax even if I'm outside. I don't want to practice five hundred times in front of my husband, senior sister." Did you see me nodding?

"Okay, okay, I will eat on time too,"

The girl smiled and put her hands on the headphones on her ears. Then she seemed to hear something and was a little surprised.

"Sir said that there is a new person coming to learn boxing today? Is he a new disciple? No? He only teaches boxing? Hahaha, but this 'new person' must be very good. I believe in your vision very much. When I return to the gym, I will do a good job. Look at him.

"Okay, okay, I will pay attention to safety, senior sister, bye."

She took a breath, took off her earphones, and hung up the phone.

After taking a look at the call history on her phone, and remembering the concern of that heroic senior sister, the girl naturally smiled slightly at the corner of her mouth.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!

She subconsciously picked up her phone, clicked on the pinned chat box, and sent a message, "Brother Hao Yi, hello noon".

It also comes with a cute emoticon.

Then she put down her phone, picked up her coffee, took a sip, and continued to check the information.

The sun shines from top to bottom, and people come and go on the streets.

The coffee at the girl's table also changed cup after cup.

"Hello."

After an unknown amount of time, a female voice came from beside her, "Are you interested in learning about the great 'Destroyer K'?"

A flyer was handed to her.

"oh,"

The girl immediately raised her hand, thinking it was a sales pitch, and subconsciously said, "I don't..."

Then she saw the big 'K' printed on the flyer. She paused slightly with her outstretched hand, took the flyer, and said with slight surprise, "Is this a 'K'?"

"It seems that you have also been inspired by the great 'K',"

The woman handing out the flyers looked at the girl and said seriously, "Most people living in this land have been inspired by 'K'. Maybe you have no memory, but the traces of 'K' have been imprinted into our souls." .

"He is the Creator of everything and the Destroyer of everything. Only by following Him can we receive salvation and protection."

What a classic religious propaganda line.

"Is this mysterious?"

The girl looked at the flyer in her hand. The content of the flyer was very simple. It probably said that there was a party to listen to the sound of 'K', and then she asked to scan the QR code to join the group.

Interestingly, this leaflet is written in three languages: Ika, Tia, and Zhongtu. This means that the target audience of the leaflet is not the locals of the Republic of Ika, but also people from the Tia-speaking area, and Chinese. native.

The girl also understood at this time that the other party did not find her randomly, but she was the other party's 'target user'.

After all, her Middle-earth appearance stands out among a bunch of Ika people.

"This is not some kind of conjecture, but something that really exists. The traces of the great 'K' exist in each of our minds,"

The woman looked at the girl and pointed to the QR code on the flyer, "If you want to truly listen to the voice of 'K', then scan this QR code and join us. 'K' will bless all his followers. "

“Is this some kind of group chat QR code?”

The girl raised her head and looked to her side.

But the woman stopped answering her questions and walked away, continuing to hand out flyers to other tables.

The girl picked up her phone and scanned the QR code to join the group.

Then she discovered that there were already many people in this group, and notifications for joining the group were constantly being sent out.

At this moment, the chat group is in a muted state, and the group announcement states the latest ‘party lecture’ arrangements.

And the latest 'lecture' happened to be tonight, during dinner time.

Buzz——

At this time, a new message was sent on the girl's phone.

Brother Hao Yi: [Looks like I have something happy today]

The girl immediately replied quickly,

[Because everyone in the martial arts hall is really nice. Although my husband is a bit serious when teaching, I can feel that he is really serious about teaching me. Although my senior sister is a bit crazy about martial arts, she is really gentle under her heroic appearance. ,hey-hey. ]

[They are all good people, thank you brother Hao Yi. ]

[By the way, brother Hao Yi, something happened to me. ]

The girl picked up the flyer in her hand, took a photo, and sent it along with what she had just experienced.

——

At this moment, He Ao was controlling Hao Yi's clone and walking by the river in Mote City.

The gentle river breeze blew through his hair.

He lowered his head and looked at the message Lin Chichi sent him, the flyers in three languages ​​in the message record, and the screenshots of the group announcement.

Lin Chichi also sent a message at the end, saying that she wanted to go to this 'lecture' and that the 'lecture' time was just right and would not affect her train.

He Ao held his cell phone and was about to reply when a stuttering Chinese voice suddenly came from beside him, "Hello, are you interested in knowing more about the great destroyer K?"

He Ao turned around and looked to his side.

A young man was standing next to him at the moment, handing him the flyer in his hand.

He Ao glanced at the young man with interest. He took the flyer and asked naturally in Ika, "Are you a sect that believes in 'K'?"

Hearing He Ao's question, the young man was slightly startled, as if he didn't expect that the 'Middle-earth man' in front of him could speak so fluently in Ika.

But soon, he reacted and said quickly, "Of course, I don't know if you have ever felt a great phantom made of brilliance in your sleep, and have you ever had a dream in which you were saved by the great phantom in the bloody radiance? Or maybe , do you think this scene seems familiar?”

"I have never had such a dream,"

He Ao glanced at the flyer in his hand, then looked at the young man, shaking his head slightly, "But what you described does seem a bit familiar to me."

"That's right,"

Hearing his last words, the young man who was a little lost immediately became energetic, "That is the echo left by the great 'K' in our subconscious. It is the proof that He created everything. The blood-red light means that the world is about to be destroyed, and Only by following 'K' can we be saved from destruction.

"'K' is the great god. He created everything and will destroy everything. He is kind but indifferent and possesses supreme power. Only by following Him can we gain His mercy and favor."

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!

"Um,"

Hearing this, He Ao was slightly startled. He looked at the young man and said with a smile, "This is the first time I've heard of this."

Then he paused and said doubtfully, "The theoretical aspects of yours are all illusory things, including the end of the world and the creation of the world. I don't care about this. If I follow your 'K', I won't get any comparison." Something more practical?”

This time, the young man was stunned. He seemed not to have expected that He Ao would ask this question. After a brief hesitation, he whispered,

"The great K will give favor to the devout, and He will give the most devout believers power beyond the mortal world."

"Beyond the mortal world?"

He Ao was slightly stunned.

"It means having power that ordinary people can't imagine,"

The young man explained in a low voice, "All this is given by 'K'."

"have you seen?"

He Ao took advantage of the situation and asked.

The young man's face froze when he was asked, and then he quickly said, "The great church leader will let you see it. If you don't believe in the great god, you will be punished."

"I think 'K' won't have any problem with it."

Hearing this, He Ao shrugged.

"you you you!"

The young man looked at He Ao and was speechless for a moment.

Then he seemed to realize that he couldn't defeat this 'unbeliever', so he stopped talking to He Ao and ran away in a hurry.

Looking at his leaving figure, He Ao smiled, lowered his head, and glanced at the flyer in his hand.

The river breeze blew over his fingertips, causing the soft and crisp paper to undulate.

The paper quality of this flyer is very good, and the design is also very interesting. It is not the kind of low-quality flyer printed casually by a roadside printing shop.

This proves that this ‘sect’ has at least some organizational and financial support behind it.

He raised his phone, scanned the QR code, and joined the group chat.

——

In a winding alley, An Ming took his mobile phone and followed the navigation, twisting and turning into the depths of the city.

Finally, a somewhat old courtyard gate appeared in his field of vision.

Next to the gate of the courtyard, there is a solid wooden plaque with three meaningful words written in Chinese characters, "Budoka".

Just looking at those three words, An Ming felt as if some kind of distant ancient bell was ringing in his ears, and a grand road opened in front of him.

At the same time, countless martial arts thoughts and ideas bloomed in his mind like flowers blooming in spring. He had never noticed that his mind was so active.

哢——

At this time, the closed courtyard door suddenly opened.

A heroic girl with red eyes and a high ponytail holding a stone lock appeared in An Ming's field of vision. She glanced at An Ming and said slowly, "An Ming? My husband told me about you, come in."

"Oh oh oh, okay."

Only then did An Ming react. He quickly followed the girl's steps and walked into the courtyard gate.

A small courtyard with a sense of simplicity and long meaning appeared in his field of vision.

He never thought that he would see such a simple courtyard here, the Ancient Courtyard of Masters. This courtyard fulfilled all his fantasies about a place for martial arts practice.

He raised his head and looked at the woman holding the stone lock who was leading the way. He subconsciously hugged his hands and said, "Excuse me..."

boom--

The thick stone lock was placed on the ground by the woman, making a muffled sound. She turned around, looked at An Ming, raised her hand,

"The gentleman said, let us go through it first."
