Soon, the faces of the people in the office became ugly.
Because the speech in the hands of the Prime Minister was denounced by the Goddess Cult for its horrific assassinations and listed the various harms done by the Goddess Cult to the deceased.
At this time, everyone in Guangming Mountain who was watching the live TV broadcast, a large number of Goddess Cult believers, had a bad feeling in their hearts.
Finally, after reading the lengthy speech, the Prime Minister cleared his voice, pointed at the loudspeaker, and announced the Senate's decision - to abolish the legal status of the Goddess Cult as a religion and to prohibit its spread within Guangming Mountain, including within the entire Church of the Dead. goddess.
Before the Prime Minister had finished speaking, there was a violent commotion in Qiao Yins's office.
All the believers of the Goddess Sect became extremely emotional. Some were angry, some cursed, and some were heartbroken, but without exception, no one would agree with the Senate's decision.
Qiao Yins's face was ashen, his eyes were fixed on the TV screen, and his palms were clenched tightly unconsciously.
At this moment, there was similar noise and commotion not only in Qiao Yins's office, but also in the entire Guangming Mountain.
The Goddess Cult has accompanied the deceased for a long time, and the two have long been indistinguishable from each other. This religion has profoundly affected every resident who grew up in Guangming Mountain, and it has long been deeply ingrained in the DNA.
Even after years of suppression by the Senate, the private influence of the Goddess Cult is not weak at all, and there are still a large number of people who quietly believe in it.
Now that the Senate suddenly announced that it would abolish the Goddess Cult, even those who were not believers in the Goddess Cult subconsciously felt resistance.
In the live broadcast, after the Prime Minister read out the resolution of the Senate, he began to take off his black robe and golden crown.
The four senators standing side by side at the back also took off their crowns and black robes.
However, some elders are very fast, as if they can't wait, as if they are breaking away from a layer of restraint, while some elders move slowly, full of reluctance.
This scene made many believers suffocate.
The senators also serve as the black-robed archbishops of the Goddess Cult. This tradition has never changed in the long history. The golden crown and black robe are the symbols of the Goddess Cult.
Now, the senators personally took off the symbols of the Goddess Cult and announced that they would no longer serve as black-robed archbishops.
This expressed their firm determination to abolish the Goddess Cult, and also dealt a heavy blow to the believers.
After taking off the symbol of the Goddess Cult, the Prime Minister took a new speech script and continued his speech.
He first stated that he would fight to the end with the Goddess Cult, a group of terrorists who use terrorist methods, and would never compromise.
Then he began to persuade the believers of the Goddess Sect to put down their weapons and forget about the past as long as they chose to surrender to the Senate.
"puff……"
Xu Cheng couldn't help but laugh out loud. The Senate's speech was quite funny. The Immortals were originally a killer organization that carried out assassinations that were similar to terrorist acts.
Now they are saying that the assassinations carried out by the Goddess Cult are the actions of terrorists, and they want to be incompatible with them.
It's almost as funny as the United States always saying that color revolutions are terrorism and that they are incompatible with Yan Ge.
In the office, Xu Cheng's laughter seemed a bit abrupt, and the followers of the Goddess Cult turned to stare at him, all with red eyes, like an enraged bull.
They were heartbroken, yet some of them dared to laugh.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Xu Cheng laughed loudly, then suppressed his smile, pointed at the TV and cursed: "It's so ridiculous. The dignified Prime Minister, I thought he would have a high-level speech on the live TV broadcast, but I didn't expect to say such vulgar words! It's so shameless."
Everyone was infected by his curses and started yelling at the Prime Minister on TV.
Qiu Gongyue was staring at the TV. For some reason, the mood that had been calmed down by Xu Cheng suddenly burst into anger again.
To dare to abolish the Goddess Cult is an unforgivable crime.
"Mr. Joyce, we can't do nothing!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, we must resist this shameless behavior."
The excited believers were not satisfied with just scolding, and they all turned to look at Qiao Yins, hoping that he would stand up and lead everyone to resist.
Looking at this crowd of people, an idiom came to Xu Cheng's mind - mob.
Qiao Yins previously complained that the Senate was a decadent feudal organization, so why not the Goddess Cult, a loose organization that was all connected by religion.
The Goddess Cult and the Senate are like a pair of twins, no wonder they have been able to love and kill each other for so many years.
If it were Bai Yuelin, he could kill them all based on his organizational ability alone.
"Everyone, I can understand your feelings. You can't wait to attack the Senate now and capture the Prime Minister alive."
Qiao Yins stood up from the office chair and looked around: "But haven't you ever thought that this might be a trap?"
The believers were stunned for a moment: "Trap?"
Qiao Yins vowed: "Yes, the reason why the Senate did this is just to lure us out of the darkness, and then catch us all in one fell swoop. We must not be fooled. Now that the enemy is strong and we are weak, what we should do is more It’s better to lurk and gather strength, rather than foolishly jumping into the senate’s trap.”
Seeing what Qiao Yins said, everyone was suspicious: "But..."
"No buts!"
Qiao Yins interrupted the believers: "Everyone, this is the darkest moment, but we should persist to the end. Please believe me, as long as we are here, the Goddess Sect will not be destroyed because of the actions of the Senate. "
Xu Cheng quietly said to Qiu Gongyue: "This guy's eloquence is very good. He must often practice talking with popsicles in private."
Qiu Gongyue nodded absently, still thinking about the abolition of the Goddess Sect.
After some hard work, Qiao Yins calmed down the exposed believers and persuaded them to leave the office.
After all the believers left, he sat down on the chair, slightly lost in thought, as if he had lost all strength.
Unlike ordinary believers, as a bishop, Joyce was very aware of the authority of the Senate.
If they really want to abolish the legal status of the Goddess Cult, they can do it. The reason why they didn't do it before is that on the one hand, they need to be loyal to the reputation of the goddess, and on the other hand, they like the tool of the Goddess Cult.
If we want to abolish the Goddess Cult now, we should have reached some kind of compromise internally and unanimously announced it to the outside world.
Originally, the Goddess Cult wanted to continue to lurk, fish for fish and accumulate strength, but unexpectedly they were greeted by the iron fist of the Senate.
Of course, the Goddess Cult will definitely not die out for a while, but if it is banned for a long time, no one can guarantee whether it will still exist. Religion also needs soil.
Xu Cheng looked at Qiao Yins who was in a state of despair and said, "It seems that the Goddess Sect's signature is not that valuable."
Qiao Yins smiled bitterly: "For the big shots in Guangming Mountain, they can change their signboards at any time, and they don't care about it at all."
As he said that, he glanced at Xu Cheng subconsciously, thinking of Owen's words in his mind.
Is it because Xu Cheng killed Caesar Wade and the Dark Assassin, which greatly stimulated the Senate, that they decided to abolish the Goddess Cult?
Xu Cheng noticed the look in his eyes: "Why, do you think it was because of me that the Senate became violent?"
"No!"
Qiao Yins shook his head and said: "It has nothing to do with you, maybe a little, but at most it is the last feather that breaks the camel's back."
Qiu Gongyue turned to look at him: "What do you mean?"
Qiao Yins whispered: "I said before that some people used the name of the Goddess Cult to go to extremes to carry out assassinations. In fact, it was a statement taken out of context. It is true that some people used the name of the Goddess Cult, but similarly, there are also different people within the Goddess Cult. A few engaged in extreme behavior, much to the chagrin of the Senate.”
Xu Cheng and Qiu Gongyue looked at each other and were not surprised, because they had already guessed before that there must be different factions within the Goddess Cult, and Qiao Yins could not represent the entire Goddess Cult.
Those who carried out the assassination were all radicals of the Goddess Cult. They had no political agenda. They were simply bloody revenge against the Senate and wanted to stop killing with killing.
Qiao Yins belongs to the moderate faction of the Goddess Cult and hopes to find a better way.
Xu Cheng suddenly understood why Qiao Yins wanted to save the goddess Yin Yin, probably because he hoped that after the goddess was rescued, he could unite the believers to overthrow the Senate.
After listening to Qiao Yins's explanation, Qiu Gongyue suddenly asked: "What is the assassin inheritance? There are recent rumors that the Goddess Religion has obtained the assassin inheritance."
Qiao Yins shook his head: "The Goddess Sect is so weak now, how can it have the energy to send people out to find the assassin inheritance? Maybe it is false news released by the Senate. I don't know the specific situation."
He seemed to have no extra energy to continue the conversation, so he could only send the guests off: "You two, the deal will not be changed. You go back and wait for the news. I will arrange to send you to the Senate in two days."
Seeing that Qiao Yins was in poor condition, Xu Cheng and Qiu Gongyue had no intention of staying.
After the two left, Qiao Yins sat alone in the office in a daze.
Not long after, the office door was gently pushed open, and Owen, who had not been seen since being defeated by Xu Cheng, quietly walked in.
Ten minutes later, Owen walked out of the office with a disappointed look on his face and left the theater without looking back.
…
Xu Cheng and Qiu Gongyue returned to Walker's home, only to find that a group of Law Guardians had come to the house to investigate the incident where Qiu Gongyue pretended to be Walker and sneaked into the prison some time ago.
In order to avoid trouble, the two simply left, abandoned Walker's useless identity, and found a place to hide.
In the next two days, the entire Guangming Mountain became very lively.
The Senate probably didn't expect that the Goddess Cult still had such a great influence among the people. Not long after they announced the abolition of the Goddess Cult's legal status, a large number of Goddess Cult believers took to the streets to protest, demanding that the Senate withdraw the resolution.
These believers are not people like Qiao Yins, and many of them are not even killers. They are just ordinary believers who have lived in Guangming Mountain for generations.
This situation was beyond the expectations of the Senate, but it also strengthened its determination to completely eliminate the Goddess Cult.
They broke up the procession, arrested a large number of devout believers, and then went out in all directions to destroy books and items about the Goddess Cult.
Of course, the radical faction of the Goddess Cult would not sit still and wait for death, and quickly launched a counterattack. Many staff of the Senate were assassinated, and there were even fanatical believers who tied bombs and attacked the Senate. The loud noise of the violent explosion spread almost throughout Guangming Mountain.
As an outsider, Xu Cheng watched the excitement for two days and wished he could shout, "I think there will be rivers of blood."
But Qiu Gongyue's behavior was very strange. She was inexplicably angry about the abolition of the Goddess Sect, and she needed Xu Cheng to comfort her before she could calm down.
But she herself couldn't explain the reason for her anger. After all, she was not a believer. She could only blame it on being protected by the Goddess Cult when she was a child.
Two days later, Qiao Yins finally fulfilled his promise and prepared to arrange for Xu Cheng and Qiu Gongyue to enter the Senate.
Early that morning, the two people in disguise took Qiao Yins's car and arrived at the side entrance of the Senate.
After not seeing each other for two days, Qiao Yins's spirit had not improved. Instead, he was visibly worried. However, he still tried hard to remain optimistic in front of Xu Cheng and Qiu Gongyue.
"I have arranged that you will be the newly recruited employees and go to work in the library and internal database respectively."
Qiao Yins warned: "We have people in both places. As long as you don't go too far, it's usually fine. Of course, it's definitely not possible to do it blatantly. If you are kicked out after being discovered, you won't be able to go in next time." It’s that simple.”
On the one hand, the Goddess Cult was arbitrarily suppressed by the Senate, but on the other hand, it was able to easily insert strangers into it. Its strength seemed to be in a Schrödinger state.
Xu Cheng asked: "What do you need our help with? When will it start?"
Qiao Yins said thoughtfully: "In a week's time, that is to say, there is only one week left for you two, so please hurry up."
Xu Cheng and Qiu Gongyue looked at each other, feeling a little nervous.
Soon, a middle-aged man came out of the side entrance of the Senate and waved in this direction.
Xu Cheng and Qiu Gongyue got out of the car together. Qiao Yins did not follow them, but just gave them an encouraging look through the car window.
The two came to the side door. The middle-aged man looked at the two of them with scrutinizing eyes and said expressionlessly: "Follow me."
After entering the side door, the middle-aged man led the way and warned: "Qiao Yins arranged for you to come in. I don't ask you why you came in, but you'd better not cause trouble for me."
Qiu Gongyue didn't say a word, Xu Cheng said with a smile: "Don't worry, we just think it's a bit chaotic outside, we just want to come in and find a stable job."
The middle-aged man glanced at him: "Hippy smile, it's not a good thing at first glance."
Xu Cheng: "..."
Even though she was worried, Qiu Gongyue could not help but raise the corners of her lips at this moment, feeling happy.
The interior of the Senate is very vast, but it is also very overcrowded, and people can be seen everywhere.
The middle-aged man led the two of them to a gate, turned around and asked, "Which of you wants to go to the library? Who wants to go to the database?"
Xu Cheng raised his hand with a serious look on his face: "I want to go to the library!"
Working in the database requires strong professional knowledge. Xu Cheng is not very good at handling some trivial matters, so working in the database is a bit reluctant.
The middle-aged man glanced at him and said, "Don't you smile when you talk to your boss? If you have such a lack of eyesight, you really should go to the library and hang out."
Xu Cheng: "..."
