Indescribable cyberpunk - #627 - Chapter 613 Ancestor Treasure

“The souls of those who have not attained transcendence will surely enter reincarnation and be judged in the seven hells. Those who commit crimes must be punished. The seven hells are divided into the prison of murder, the prison of laziness, the prison of injustice, etc. I remember it well, Aren’t there supposed to be eighteen levels of hell?”

Walking on the side of Temple Street, Zhu Jue looked through the religious trivia guide in his hand through the surrounding lights. There was an introduction to the sects that Fisher believed in. He thought that he and Fisher would have something in common when they met later. No matter how bad it is, it won’t offend the other party’s taboo, but it’s just that the content of one chapter is a bit strange, and I can’t help but ask Gu Yinxing next to me.

“This is the result of a mixture of religious ideas. In order to attract believers, many small sects imitate Eastern and Western religious doctrines and come up with a new set of things to attract believers. This seven levels of hell is what you call the eighteen levels of hell. There is also a religious concept resulting from the combination of the seven deadly sins in Western religions, which is the most widely circulated among believers.”

As a member of the Thorn Sect, Gu Yinxing had read many books on religion over the years, and gave an answer to Zhu Jue’s question after only thinking about it for a moment.

“I see. Ha, the punishment here is quite interesting.”

He continued to read the contents of the Seven Hells chapter, tutting his tongue, occasionally holding the book behind his back with both hands, stretching his neck and looking around, his eyes unfocused, obviously thinking about something.

“We’re here, you three, wait a moment. I’ll contact Fisher again. He only told me to come here to find him before, but didn’t give his detailed address.”

Gattuso, who was walking at the front, seemed to have seen something. He moved two steps to a less crowded area on the street and took out his mobile phone while speaking.

Zhu Jue also closed the book at this time and looked towards the lane in front of Gattuso.

Different from the alleys passed along the way, this place is more like a slightly narrow street than an alley.

From Zhu Jue’s position, he could see that there seemed to be vermilion gates on both sides of the street. There were lanterns with pentagonal metal frames hanging on the door beams. If he took two steps forward, he could vaguely see that there seemed to be a lantern on the innermost side of the street. There are two statues, which look somewhat similar to the statues placed at the entrance of Gattuso’s store.

However, when Zhu Jue wanted to get closer, he was unable to do so, because as he approached, there were several people wearing novice-style gray-blue robes blocking him at the street entrance. One of them raised his hand and made a stop gesture.

“We are friends of Mr. Fisher, here for an appointment, not tourists.”

At this time, Gattuso, who had just finished the phone call, trotted over from the side to explain. He also opened his mobile phone and put a picture saved in it in front of the other party. The latter looked at it, took out his mobile phone, and scanned the second After going through the QR code, he nodded and retreated. With a gesture, the others quickly moved out of the way.

“This is a quiet alley, a place specially provided for religious people to talk and communicate. You can’t enter without an internal invitation letter.”

Knowing that Zhu Jue might want to ask, Gattuso explained first.

“Actually, the two sides together are a store. It’s a bit like a private club, but it’s religious. Fisher is already waiting inside. I will leave after I send you to the door, so you have to remember Get off the line.”

When you open the door, you are greeted by a lush courtyard. It is just a virtual scene created using holographic projection. As Gattuso said, the courtyard is surrounded by a “back”-shaped corridor, and you can see several Waiters in religious attire walked along the outside of the corridor carrying some tea and cakes. They walked very slowly and just bowed their eyes while walking.

There are independent rooms at regular intervals between the corridors. The overall look is like fully enclosed pavilions scattered throughout the courtyard. The place is not big, just the size of an ordinary living room, and it adopts a Japanese architectural style. , this part is not a virtual image, but a real building, Zhu Jue verified it with his own hands.

There are virtual light strips projected by indicator lights at the doorways of several rooms, marked “empty”. The doorways of the rest of the rooms are lit by light red lanterns, and a wooden sign is hung on the right doorpost. It has some kind of label.

“This side of the herringbone room.”

After identifying the contents carved on the wooden sign hanging outside the room, Gattuso led Zhu Jue and the others to the door of a room on the right.

Dong Dong Dong~

While knocking on the door, Gattuso motioned to Zhu Jue and the others to tidy up their clothes.

“Please come in.”

A voice came from inside the door.

Opening the door, there was only a wooden table and a few cushions in the empty room. Apart from the tea on the table, there was nothing else.

Fisher Faraz knelt on one side of the wooden table, and Zhu Jue and his party stood outside the door. The two parties looked at each other.

After completing the commission, Gattuso said nothing more, took a few steps back and turned to leave. He was only responsible for bringing people here, and the rest had nothing to do with him.

Go inside and close the door.

“The few of you who are willing to pay such a high price to meet me must also have faith in your heart. May God bless you all.”

After all, he is a religious figure who can appear on a talk show. Based on his superficial words and deeds, Fisher does seem to have some moral integrity.

However, Zhu Jue is not here to sit and talk with others!

What’s more, he clearly knew what the so-called “price” meant. In order to meet this “master”, he directly paid 300,000 to the other party’s account through Gattuso!

So Fisher, who had been busy with the affairs of the spiritual retreat recently, immediately decided to meet him the next day after paying the money.

Donating 300,000 yuan without even meeting each other is ungrateful. How can there be any devout believers in this world?

This is Fisher’s true inner thought.

In his normal free time, Zhu Jue might be able to go along a few lines and play aggressive with the opponent, but now he prefers to use practical actions to express his attitude.

Zhu Jue strode to the wooden table, neither sitting nor kneeling, but squatted down in front of Fisher. Looking at the middle-aged man who was only half a body away with a stunned expression, Zhu Jue said in a muffled voice: “Today I’m here to confirm something very important to you, regarding the awakening you mentioned on the show yesterday.”

“Awakening?”

Hearing this familiar term, Fisher immediately began to recall what he mentioned on the talk show yesterday, but his face remained calm, he nodded and continued,

“Speak carefully.”

“It’s like this. I have an ancestral treasure at home. It usually looks ordinary and doesn’t look like something valuable. But just in the past few days, some strange scenes have started to appear. At first, I didn’t know what it meant. , and then I met an awakened person you mentioned. The mirror suddenly absorbed a wisp of purple smoke from him, and then his awakening seemed to have stopped. He could have seen some illusions, but when the purple smoke came out After being absorbed completely, he immediately returned to his mortal state.”

As Zhu Jue spoke, he took out the Bagua mirror from his pocket and put it on the table. He wiped the convex mirror in the center in front of Fisher. Black and purple mist instantly rolled on the mirror, and soon formed a miniature version. Energy vortex.

If Gattuso were here, he would probably make his eyes pop out, and Fisher’s performance now is not much different. Looking at the Bagua mirror in Zhu Jue’s hand, the words Zhu Jue just said echoed in his mind, and his hands under his sleeves were shaking. Shaking!

“I came to you just to ask if this thing is evil. Otherwise, how could it prevent others from awakening?”

Zhu Jue pushed the Bagua Mirror further forward. Suzi and Gu Yinxing behind him looked at Feishe, whose attention was completely attracted by the Bagua Mirror, with strange expressions.

“I’m afraid I have to look at this carefully, but since it can prevent the awakened person from obtaining the instructions of the gods, there must be some problems. Can it be left here for a few days?”

After picking up the tea and taking a deep sip to moisten his throat, Fisher observed the expression on Zhu Jue’s face, thinking about how to trick him into getting this thing.

“This is a treasure passed down from my family. My father said before he died that unless I die, this kind of thing can never be given to others. So, I’m sorry, I can’t give it to you, and this time I’m worried that it will harm me again.” Other awakened people came here specifically to find you. After seeing your program before, I thought you knew a lot of awakened people and wanted to try it again.”

“In that case, why don’t you stay together? I am preparing to go on another interview show to look for the existence of the Awakened One. Maybe I can help you unlock the secrets hidden in this Bagua Mirror.”

Fisher knew the situation of those awakened people very well. He had already learned through his own connections that these people were interviewed by the security department not long after they had hallucinations. He heard that they were also related to the epidemic prevention office. It’s not a good thing no matter how you think about it.

The Bagua Mirror in front of him can actually help them return to normal. This is simply an opportunity given to him by God. Regardless of whether he can get this Bagua Mirror or not, Fisher has already planned to use it to promote himself fiercely!

“Then I’m sorry to trouble you. If you can help me figure out the secret of this mirror, I’ll be very grateful!”

Zhu Jue held Fisher’s hand, his face full of sincerity.

“This is what I should do. It is my duty to help confused believers.”

He also put his free left hand over his, and the two looked at each other, both of them deeply moved.

At the same time, the same idea also appeared in the minds of the two of them.

Ha, idiot!

The final result of the discussion was that Zhu Jue and the others stayed in a nearby hotel first, and Fisher would hold a press conference the next morning, hoping to recruit several awakened people to test Zhu Jue’s “ancestral treasure”.

“Are you sure that this will attract the priest from the Ouroboros organization?”

Leaving the quiet alley, Suzi asked in a low voice.

The three of them had discussed the purpose of their trip before coming, and she naturally knew what effect Zhu Jue wanted to achieve with his series of actions just now.

“It’s just a ‘treasure’, and it might be regarded as a gimmick. The conflict between sects alone cannot guarantee the effect. If the Ouroboros organization chooses to ignore Fisher or simply send some low-level armed personnel to snatch it, it will only Waste of our time.”

Gu Yinxing on the side was also skeptical.

“So I have to give them a reason to come.”

Zhu Jue raised his hand and put it on Gu Yinxing’s shoulder, grinning and saying,

“Come on, I’m optimistic about you!”
