Chapter 187 The Beginning(1/2)
"Hello, Higashino-kun?"
Koshishima Yako was indeed fine, but it took a while for her to answer the phone, and her voice sounded lethargic.
"Teacher Koshishima, are you okay?"
Higashino Hirosawa couldn't help but ask.
"It's okay. I did an experiment last night and stayed up very late."
Yue Dao Yazi yawned.
Well, when this happened and he was still staying up late doing experiments, Higashino Hirosawa discovered that he was overthinking.
"Teacher Koshishima, I want to ask you how much you know about what happened last night and that thing in the sky?"
Higashino Hirosawa didn't waste any time and quickly explained his purpose.
"Of course I don't know anything. What you want to ask about is the weird one, right? Well, I'm not afraid to tell you. I asked her last night. But for weird things, you have to negotiate a deal for anything, and I don't want to pay.
For the price, she only told me a little bit of information."
Koshishima Yako said, his voice was very dissatisfied.
"The price? What price."
Higashino Hirosawa thought for a while and asked.
"Higashino-kun, you want to help me pay the price? But unfortunately, you can't. It's me who needs to pay the price, and you can't help me. I'm also very interested in that thing in the sky, but it's a pity that you want me to pay for it.
It’s impossible to pay the price.”
Higashino Hirosawa really wanted to do this, but from what Yako Koshishima said, he probably guessed that the price was not some items that could be found casually, but something else.
"Teacher Koshishima, can you tell me what that weird guy said to you?"
Higashino Hirosawa could only ask.
Knowing a little more is better than knowing nothing at all.
"Higashiya-kun, you are really cunning, but don't think that if you call me teacher I will tell you for free. Although the weird one told me for free, in essence, it is the information I paid for. Higashino-kun, you
If you want to know, you have to pay the corresponding price."
Yue Dao Yazi said at this time.
"Teacher Koshishima, what do you want?"
Higashino Hirosawa didn't think it was anything. Judging from Koshishima Yako's words, the price of being weird was not ordinary. If it were him, he wouldn't tell others casually.
"Child, Higashikata-kun, please come over and have a child with me. Since you are the father of the child, I will tell you whatever you want to know for free."
Teacher Koshishima Yako said in high spirits.
Higashino Hirosawa was speechless for a while when he heard this, and Koshishima Yako was still thinking about it.
"Teacher Koshishima, please change the conditions."
Higashino Hirosawa said helplessly.
Looking at the canopy in the sky, how dare he mess with Yue Dao Yaozi, God knows what will be born.
Even if he is lucky and is a normal person, he feels uneasy when he is raised by a Yaozi from Koshishima. It makes him feel like he is selling his own child. Thinking of this makes him extremely resistant.
"I knew you wouldn't agree. Forget it, it doesn't matter if I tell you, but don't forget the agreement you made with me."
"I didn't say much about the weirdness. She just told me that as long as I abide by the rules, the thing in the sky is basically harmless. Also, she said this is just the beginning."
"The beginning? The beginning of something."
"I don't know, she just told me so."
Koshidao Yazi shrugged.
"I understand, thank you, Teacher Koshishima."
Higashino Hirosawa hung up the phone and lowered his head to think about Koshishima Yako's words.
As long as you follow the rules, the canopy is basically harmless.
He believed this, but not completely.
The reason is very simple. The rules set by this canopy obviously include rules that are beneficial to the Holy Mother of Truth.
There is no doubt that there are human and subjective factors in the establishment of these rules.
In this case, the rules cannot be fair. If he follows the rules, he will be safe.
The rules announced by the leader on TV are probably only a small part of them, and there are many more rules that have not been announced.
As for the beginning of Koshishima Yako's story, Higashino Hirosawa thought more about it.
After careful consideration, Higashino Hirosawa believed that there were two possibilities for this beginning.
One is that as time goes by, the sky above your head will change more.
This might be pretty good.
On the other hand, the situation is very pessimistic.
Hirosawa Higashino doesn't know exactly how many cults there are in Japanese society, but there must be dozens.
Among these, is there any church like the Church of Our Lady of Truth that can hold rituals to allow unknown beings to descend?
If so, does it mean that the world will be even more chaotic in the future?
…
Higashino Hirosawa was not in a hurry to go home. He walked slowly around Tokyo.
Order in Tokyo has been generally restored, but wherever you go, people appear to be in a hurry.
Higashino Hirosawa searched for nearly two hours and couldn't find anyone who triggered the wishing machine.
It seems that all those who can trigger the wishing machine have been captured.
According to the principle of triggering the wishing machine, as long as a period of time passes, someone will regenerate the power of wish and trigger the wishing machine.
But under the new rules of the sky screen, it is difficult for Higashino Hirosawa to determine how many people can trigger the wishing machine.
Because in this "new world", violence and hatred are not allowed. When violence and hatred occur, others can judge.
Under such rules, the number of people born who can trigger the wishing machine will undoubtedly be greatly reduced.
While touring the city, Higashino Hirosawa was also monitoring the three believers who had just joined the Holy Mother of Truth.
After they joined the Cult of Our Lady of Truth, they obtained a newly printed sixteenth page book.
The content of the book is not much, but the teachings of the Holy Mother of Truth are printed on it.
At the end of the book, printed is a portrait of Our Lady of Truth.
The image of Our Lady of Truth looks kind and compassionate to the world. What believers have to do every day is to spend some time, close their eyes, imagine the image of Our Lady of Truth, and meditate on the teachings. When believers are pious enough, they will enter a state of selflessness.
Entering a state of selflessness is a successful prayer.
After successfully praying, believers will be able to see their faith value.
By consuming faith, you can initiate judgment against others. Once the target indeed violates the rules of the sky, the consumed faith will be returned, and the person who initiated the judgment can also receive a faith reward.
In addition, by consuming faith, you can exchange it for holy water that can cure various diseases in the Religion of Our Lady of Truth.
When Higashino Hiroyuki saw this, he couldn't help but be silent for a while.
Among the three surveillance targets, Higashino Hirosawa saw that one person had successfully prayed.
After praying like this, she was obviously mentally exhausted, but she could tell that she was very happy because she could see her faith value.
With the faith value, this means that she can live a completely different life as long as she prays once or twice a day.
Hiroyuki Higashino looked at it and couldn't help but remain silent.
Why does this canopy look like it has implanted a belief system into all the followers of Our Lady of Truth?
The so-called prayer, in Higashino Hirosawa's opinion, means actively dedicating one's spiritual power to the Virgin of Truth.
Moreover, ordinary mental strength is not enough, you must be pious enough, and you must be full of energy before you can pray successfully.
The average person can only pray for success once or twice a day.
For most people in this world, this curtain may not be a bad thing.
Higashino Hirosawa can predict that as time goes by, there will definitely be more and more believers in the Holy Mother of Truth.
If there weren't too many unknowns and uncertainties, Higashino Hirosawa would even think that it would be okay to join the Holy Mother of Truth.
Even he thinks this way, let alone ordinary people.
…
In the afternoon, Hiroyuki Higashino went to the vegetable market to buy some ingredients and vegetables before going home.
When I got home, the Asakusa family gathered around me, including Granny Fukuda.
Higashino Hirosawa told them about the situation outside, and everyone felt relieved after hearing it.
