It can be seen that although many people in the town are somewhat dissatisfied with Rogge's recent behavior, he still has a certain prestige in the town. The whispers in the church soon gradually became quiet.
I believe many of you already know what happened last night. After the church was completely quiet, Rogge spoke slowly. He did not hide what happened yesterday. Last night, after the flute player played the flute, the witch's pet attacked the vigil team, causing more than a dozen people to be injured to varying degrees. And another person died
Hearing what he said, the townspeople in the church started whispering to each other again. Although some people had been whispering about what happened last night in private, when the mayor came to acknowledge the incident as an official, many townspeople were still doubtful. They were quite surprised.
The surprise was both about the witch and the fact that the mayor admitted the truth so frankly.
You must know that in the eyes of the vast majority of the townspeople, although Rogge is smart and capable and has done many good things and practical things for the town, and is a young man with a bright future, as a native resident of the town, he does not believe the rumors in the town at all. The profound witch legend not only prohibits witch trials and all acts of persecuting others as witches, but even after the appearance of the piper, he resisted the pressure of the townspeople and strictly prohibited witch trials, and even formed a night watch team to try Catch the mastermind.
Now the mayor, who doesn't believe in the legend of the witch at all, actually didn't try to cover up what happened last night. Instead, he openly admitted the existence of the witch's pet. This is almost equivalent to indirectly admitting the existence of the witch.
Rogge waited until the excitement of the townspeople's discussion subsided and calmed down a little before continuing: So, in view of the current situation, Pastor Ilson and Sheriff Gale and I discussed it all night yesterday and thought that the piper might be more than just someone. The serial murderer is so simple, so I decided to listen to the opinions of everyone in the town, and led by me, Pastor Ilson, and Pastor Clement, to launch an orderly witch search operation in the town.
Hearing what he said, the townspeople in the church started making noise again. This time, their reaction was even louder than before, like a bowl of cold water poured into a pot of hot oil. The scene suddenly boiled, and they were all talking. Everyone expressed their opinions, and some even stood up angrily and shouted at Rogge.
snort. The town is long overdue for a witch trial.
The witch trial is fine, but outsiders cannot get involved in our affairs!
Foreigners, get out of our town! The Witch Trial should be led by us! Why should outsiders take the lead?
Wasn't the incident caused by this fake pastor last time big enough? ! What kind of trouble do you want him to cause to interfere with the witch trial ceremony?
Looking at this chaotic scene, Rogge seemed a little embarrassed. He quickly waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet: "Please don't be too impatient. Pastor Clement is from a big city. He is a professionally trained clergyman. He is very good at identifying evil." Set, this time our Chief Gale will also assist him in the witch search, and this witch search does not require you to participate voluntarily. You just need to wait patiently for the results of the investigation.
However, his voice was soon swallowed up by a larger wave of opposition. Apparently after the last witch trial that was almost farce, the townspeople's rejection and hatred of outsiders had reached a peak.
At this time, a white-haired old lady stood up and cleared her throat: Rogge, outsiders cannot be trusted. The witch trial in Melas Town is our town's own business. Intervention by these outsiders will only cause chaos. .
This is Sophia, who is well-known in the town and believes in the legend of the witch as firmly as Old John.
However, in the face of the unanimous opposition of the townspeople, Rogge felt pressured, but he still raised his head and said, but it was these outsiders who helped us yesterday, otherwise the scope of casualties is likely to continue to expand. Even if a witch is really hiding in a small town, we cannot carry out indiscriminate persecution under the banner of searching for witches, we cannot rely on personal subjective assumptions to judge who is a witch, and we cannot involve innocent people in the trial. We need to use evidence and objective facts to speak for ourselves. The fact that these outsiders who have nothing to do with the town joined in the search actually had a positive effect on the investigation of the piper.
The clear meaning behind his words was that he was afraid that the Witch Trial would eventually turn into an uncontrollable large-scale persecution.
It is harmful, so the townspeople are prohibited from spontaneously starting witch hunting.
The older people in the town all know that there has never been a problem with the inherited method of identifying witches. Sofia snorted: According to the criteria for selecting heirs for witches, those who meet the criteria and their children and descendants may become witches. They are all guilty. The misfortune that accompanies them throughout their lives, a life full of tragedy and pain, brings great harm to those around them. The disasters that people frequently bring about are proof of their guilt. .
They should confess to the Lord their unforgivable original sins, use pain to pay for the crimes they committed, and accept a fair trial to wash away their sins. Otherwise, they will not only live a life full of pain and misfortune, but also bring disaster and misfortune to their neighbors.
Even so, do you still think these people are not guilty?
Is it unforgivable just because he lives a more miserable life than others? Rogg lowered his eyes and murmured in a low voice. After hearing Sophia's somewhat condescending question, a trace of anger flashed across his face, and he suddenly raised his head with a burst of emotion in his eyes. Stunning light: shit! No matter how many times you ask me to say it, the answer is always the same! They are not guilty!
However, his slightly insignificant roar was quickly drowned out by the fact that the townspeople were guilty! The sin is unforgivable! In the wave of shouts, the shouts became more and more intense, and the hoarse roar of the town was completely drowned out.
The deafening shouts became louder and louder, and the crazy atmosphere spread rapidly in the church with the shouts. Wu Ming, who was standing at the end of the church, couldn't help but frown. He was already a little angry. If he hadn't been on guard against Clement secretly It may be a small trick, but now he wants to carry out a mace to modify the personality of these townspeople one by one.
The faces of the other people were not very good-looking either. The Crimson Queen looked a little scared, Alex looked complicated, Otto was full of irritability and displeasure and was about to draw his sword to kill, and even Sieg, who was usually expressionless. Fei Ye curled his lips and geared up, as if he was ready to take action at any time.
Rogge was also livid with anger. He then tried to yell a few times to refute the townspeople's views, but unfortunately the townspeople's voices were too loud. Every time he refuted was drowned in the excitement and enthusiasm of the townspeople. Amidst the shouting, the town mayor suddenly felt someone patting him. When he turned around, he found Clement standing behind him with an expressionless face. He had just withdrawn his hand and made a gesture to him.
It's time for me to take over.
Rogge understood the meaning of Clement's gesture, and without saying anything else, he gave up his position to the latter and stepped aside.
Lord, look at these lost lambs, they are already trapped in wrathful sin. The power of the devil blinded their eyes, and the power of the witch bewitched their minds. Clement's voice was not loud, but it seemed to be carrying some kind of strange magic power, overwhelming the townspeople. A wave of shouting penetrated into their ears and lingered in everyone’s minds for a long time. You need the Lord’s guidance and the Lord’s salvation, so pray to the Lord.
Clement's voice alone drowned out the shouts of everyone in the church. His voice seemed to have the magic power to make people obey. Soon the shouts gradually weakened, and the townspeople returned to their seats one by one. They clasped their hands and prayed to the Lord, confessing their sins to the Lord. Many people who were originally very hostile to this foreign pastor unconsciously let go of their resistance and hatred towards him during their constant prayers, and began to accept him in their hearts. This pastor came to the town not long ago.
Brainwashing technique? !
This kind of abnormal large-scale anomaly obviously cannot be achieved by normal means. However, when this speculation just flashed in Wu Ming's mind, he felt that he began to think that what Clement said was becoming more and more meaningful. The truth is that some people even cannot control the behavior of preparing their hands to pray to God.
Although his body has been greatly strengthened, his mental resistance has not kept up. Without turning on the mental filter, his resistance to extraordinary mental spells is almost no higher than that of a normal person. How many.
Wu Ming's sense of resistance was getting weaker and weaker. This was obviously a very powerful brainwashing technique, because when he noticed that something was wrong with his situation, his consciousness had begun to lose control. He tried hard to resist. This kind of prayer was not done out of free will, but in the end it was of no avail. The body and consciousness were uncontrollably following what Clement said, clasping his hands and lowering his eyebrows.
Begin to offer prayers.
Oh God
how? Is it okay to call your boss?
However, at this moment, a voice as loud as a bell rang loudly in Wu Ming's ears. The director's shapeless voice was like sunshine piercing through the layers of clouds, dispersing in an instant. The brainwashing power that controlled his consciousness, in the face of a higher-level existence, the power of the brainwashing technique was completely annihilated without even a splash. Wu Ming suddenly woke up from his fanaticism and immediately seized this rare opportunity. The mental filter was immediately turned on to filter out the mental influences that were constantly coming from outside.
It's okay, call the boss for support. Wu Ming muttered in a low voice, regardless of whether the director could hear what he said. He glanced at the other three people who were also affected and knelt down to pray, and quietly opened the cognitive modification module. The labor and management requirements Turn on the cognitive modification module and wash his brain back!
