Chapter 458: Chapter 113: Black Zhen School, Sky Sea, A Deal (Seeking Monthly Votes)_2

The central aisle was carpeted red, on either side of which were rows of ’h’-shaped red wooden benches for gatherings, and on the wall, a poster was hung at every interval, marked with some propaganda slogans, still written in the common language of the mainland; variations on "God loves all people", "Those who believe in the Lord shall be blessed", "Non-believers shall find no refuge in clothes."

At first glance, the ground floor of this castle turned out to be a huge church.

Upon seeing this, Xu Shu suddenly realized.

Well, so much for staying voluntarily, look at this! Isn’t this just a cult’s brainwashing technique? It’s just that their doctrines are relatively mild, and they haven’t turned these people into lunatics who perform live sacrifices every day.

Strangely, the statue in the front was covered with a big red cloth, completely concealed.

In the realm of religion, this was considered a huge disrespect.

Xu Shu wondered what Esoteric Buddhism was involved here, and whether he had seen it before...

He had seen quite a number of such Secret Sects.

Among these, ones that can be seen in reality weren’t many; it seemed here they were mainly dominated by four cults that worshipped Demons.

But in the legends under the identity of ’Arthur’, he had seen many more cults, as the people of that world were a little more spiritually empty.

Xu Shu recognized some familiar phrases written inside and after recalling for a moment, he asked with surprise, "The Light Sect, huh?"

The Light Sect was very peculiar, it was a "completely extinct Sect."

Actually, it was quite popular in the early stages of the Great Catastrophe since the world was facing drastic changes and terrors everywhere, people prayed en masse for the light to come, and the Light Church was born in response.

But then light actually came, but His name wasn’t anything like the Light God; He was called Lie Zhenzi.

Star Towers were built as safe zones, scattered across the land like stars in the sky, forming a solid unified front.

At the same time, the three churches born during this period - the Dawn Church, the Starry Church, and the Moon Church, all told everyone that all so-called "Gods" were fake, all harming humanity, and only the present Sun, Moon, and Stars were somewhat worthy of worship.

Among these, especially the Sun, the Dawn Church didn’t even advocate worshipping a deity. They told everyone there was no God. Praising the Sun was because it brought light and warmth, and in their propaganda even lied, saying that if you praise the Sun, you would receive the blessings of Lie Zhenzi.

Thus, under the control of the Supervision Bureau, most Secret Sects could only develop believers with difficulty in the shadows, but at least they still had their existences as Sects.

However, the Light Church, because its doctrines overlapped greatly with the Dawn Church, naturally died out completely.

*Sigh* But even though it died, because most of its teachings were rather pleasant sounding and positive, they were taken by those real cults, repurposed to deceive people.

For example, Xu Shu had once met a Principal Yang Chong in the basement of a shelter; the old witch from the Slaanesh Sect he believed in was actually using the teachings of the Light Church to make money secretly and offer sacrifices to her own deity.

Yes, the Light Sect was just that tragic – it seemed alive to some, yet it really was dead.

Sure enough.

When Xu Shu asked Su Ji Herrera whether they were from the Light Sect, she decisively answered, "Of course not, they worship the great Mother, the Mother Goddess who has dominion over life."

Speechless again, the Mother Goddess Church?

Xu Shu rolled his eyes inwardly. However, these people were working at night, all unnatural, definitely a fake Mother Goddess Church.

The real Mother Goddess Sect just wants to make babies; don’t think you can fool me.

Many Secret Sects seem to like using the name of the Mother Goddess Church, probably because such churches are more likely to attract couples who lost children and want to have another.

Wait a second...

"You just said ’they’? So that means you’re not with them?"

’They’ referred to the human residents here, or did it mean those Combat Maids? Xu Shu looked at her skeptically.

Su Ji Herrera nodded, "I am not."

"Then who are you?"

"I am Su Ji Herrera, the current High Priest of the Black Zhen School. Our school has a history of hundreds of years, always committed to correcting the misconception about witches, researching the divergence between the body and mind, the blending and separation of spirit and flesh," Su Ji stated with a scholarly demeanor.

Xu Shu was confused.

He didn’t understand a word Su Ji said.

What Black Zhen School? What divergence of body and mind? It sounded somewhat like research on schizophrenia...

But he got the second half.

The blending of spirit and flesh, huh?

He eyed Su Ji’s figure, musing maybe this girl had called him alone to create a moment of privacy, actually wanting to engage in an inter-species, more-than-friendship relationship, to achieve the blending of spirit and flesh – it takes two to tango, right?

This kind of opportunity that presented itself didn’t come with responsibilities; he didn’t need any psychological burden.

But, but...

But she only looked pretty for now, mostly it was just human skin, but in fact, he had seen her real body, she had an octopus head, disgustingly ugly!

Xu Shu glanced at Su Ji’s beautiful red lips, her ample bosom, her lush waist and hips, and her long, sleek legs, and for a moment, he was torn between deep-seated repulsion and unruly desires.

He was never picky, using non-human creatures to relieve the vigorous needs and desires of young people, and indeed, he had used quite a few with very pretty faces.

But, those were pretty-faced monsters!
