Chapter 556: Chapter 354: The Intricate Cult (4000 words)

This is indeed a coincidence.

It seems like the entire world is reminding Beichuan Si of the existence of the Happiness Truth Sect.

In the morning, Beichuan Huili mentioned it when Beichuan Si was stepping out, at noon Magong Tong brought it up again, and now in the afternoon, Gangye Yoshiko decisively pulled out some data and threw it at him.

What is this all about?

Under Gangye Yoshiko’s sign, Beichuan Si reached out and flipped through the data.

The data was divided by Gangye Yoshiko into two parts, the upper half mainly detailed the specific distribution of Happiness Truth Sect believers and various propaganda methods.

It also included the legal representative of the sect and sources of activity funds.

These were surface-level data, easily obtainable through investigation.

The most crucial information must be in the lower half of the data.

Beichuan Si thought to himself as his hands touched the lower half of the data.

As Beichuan Si reviewed the data, Gangye Yoshiko also started explaining, "Recently, we have discovered a new type of illegal drug circulating within the city, which affects the central nervous system by suppressing it and causing anesthesia. Just a small inhalation can produce euphoria and even lead to delusions and various hallucinations."

At this point, Gangye Yoshiko’s gaze towards Beichuan Si grew a bit strange, "Beichuan, you might not know, but the person you scared yesterday had traces of using this new type of illegal drug."

Gangye Yoshiko admired him somewhat.

It seemed like Beichuan Si naturally attracted ’crime’ like some sort of special magnetic field, always inadvertently bumping into it or getting involved with it.

"I don’t know anything, and I haven’t done anything," Beichuan Si denied without any expression.

If a regular police officer saw his earnest demeanor, they might actually doubt if their judgment was wrong.

But Gangye Yoshiko, who was well aware of Beichuan Si’s tactics, just spit dismissively, too lazy to expose him, she glanced at Beichuan Si and continued, "After our investigations and interrogations, we obtained some important information from what they said."

At this point, Gangye Yoshiko’s craving for a smoke resurfaced.

However, considering Beichuan Si was just beside her, she could only pull out a fruit-flavored e-cigarette from her pocket, puffing on it as she spoke, "That guy... is a senior member of the Happiness Truth Sect."

A senior member of the Happiness Truth Sect...?

Could it be that this sect’s members also have different ranks?

"What does a senior member mean?" Beichuan Si asked assertively.

Tomorrow, he was going to meet a senior who looked out for Magong Tong at work, the very senior invited Magong Tong to join the Happiness Truth Sect.

Gangye Yoshiko flicked her fingers amusedly, "Getting a bit interested now?"

"Actually, the Happiness Truth Sect is divided into ordinary, senior, and core, three membership levels, each based on different degrees of contribution to the sect, granting different statuses and privileges accordingly."

Gangye Yoshiko raised a finger, her expression thoughtful, "Ordinary members can only access superficial matters, like the sect’s meetings and collective prayers. But senior members have access to more."

She cocked her head, tone unchanged, "Senior members receive regular supply of that new type of drug I mentioned, along with some other privileges... as to what these privileges involve... it’s related to women and that sort of thing, and since you’re still young, I won’t clarify too much."

Beichuan Si just glanced at her, not bothering to respond to the slight irony in Gangye Yoshiko’s words.

Then there are the core members.

"As for core members... I’m not too clear about that, it seems one can only enter the core membership circle if they have contributed significantly to the sect. Be it connections or money, becoming a core member is definitely not a simple matter."

Gangye Yoshiko shrugged.

After all, the Happiness Truth Sect is just a new sect that arose this month; the fact that she had grasped so much information was already a quick response.

"So..." Beichuan Si set down the data.

With Gangye Yoshiko’s explanation, combined with his speed reading skills.

He had almost read through the entire content, "Liangzi, what do you want me to do with this information?"

"Ha... I just thought you might get mixed up in this affair again, or unknowingly get dragged into it, so I’m giving you a heads-up," Gangye Yoshiko chuckled, then waved her hand, "You must have heard someone mention the Happiness Truth Sect in your surroundings, right?"

In this regard, there was nothing good about hiding anything from Gangye Yoshiko.

Beichuan Si didn’t ponder and simply nodded, "Yes, someone mentioned the Happiness Truth Sect. One was my sister, she said her friend was invited to join the Happiness Truth Sect, and another was my classmate; she also got invited by a senior worker."

It had to be said, this Happiness Truth Sect truly gave one an overwhelming feeling.

There were advertisements online and offline, even Beichuan Huili had heard about its name.

And unlike Beichuan Si’s Beichuan Divine Society, a similarly newly founded sect, it did not have the pervasive presence in Tokyo like that of the Happiness Truth Sect now.

At least there were no forced invitations to join the Beichuan Divine Society.
