(PS: I have to go to the hospital to check for depression today on the 4th. I don’t know if I will be back at noon, so I updated it in advance.)
Lu Yuanming resolutely denied that he was the Messiah and any identity related to religion. This resoluteness even exceeded the level of slight hints. He did not leave any room for speculation for himself and flatly denied everything.
In fact, except for the middle-aged and elderly men and the thirty-year-old woman who were the most fanatical and pious, the rest of the people were full of doubts.
Even if the education in the United States is de-intellectualized, the so-called happy education, except for the high-level elites, the middle and lower class people can deceive them as much as they can. Even in the 21st century, there are still many Americans who believe that the world is round and square.
However, these people at the scene had at least received basic education, and judging from their clothes, there were quite a few so-called elites. In fact, they had always had doubts about Lu Yuanming's existence.
But Lu Yuanming's sincere and firm denial actually made these people suspicious.
Lu Yuanming said repeatedly: "I am really not the Messiah, and I have nothing to do with any so-called gods. At the same time, I am a materialist, and I absolutely do not believe in any gods. If I must have faith, then I It’s my ancestors who believe in it, that’s pretty much it.”
The middle-aged and elderly man seemed to have automatically assumed the role of a devout believer. He made the sign of the cross and said: "Jesus Christ also only called the Lord Father. When his spirit entered the mortal body, he never called for fire from heaven to burn up the world. You may I just don’t understand your mission for the time being, but there is no doubt that you are the Messiah, the savior who will save us mankind at the end of the world.”
Lu Yuanming didn't even move his expression, and didn't even bother to continue to refute. At this time, in the crowd, a man in his twenties wearing glasses and a suit, who looked like a social elite, suddenly said: "Mr. Lu , can you tell us in detail how this hope comes from?"
"It's faith!" the middle-aged and elderly man immediately shouted sternly.
"Okay, there's nothing wrong with calling it faith." Lu Yuanming spread his hands and said: "What I say next may be a little unbelievable, but I am negotiating with you with the greatest sincerity. What I say is true. First of all , I come from five years ago, that is, the timeline of 2023. I am a Chinese, either Chinese American, or a real Chinese. Then I came to your timeline for unknown reasons, and then died in a During a supernatural event, similar to a curse, I came to this afterlife, and then I found that I could return to the mortal world..."
Everyone immediately became noisy, and many people asked how to return to the living world. Only the elites wearing glasses and Ang were silently meditating.
The elite man wearing glasses suddenly said: "Mr. Lu, my name is C'Thun Espit, and I am a psychiatrist. Is everything you said confirmed to be true? It is not your fantasy. of?"
Lu Yuanming immediately said: "Yes, I am very sure, but my body in the mortal world is in a vegetative state. When I return to the mortal world, I will fall into boundless darkness. I cannot feel my body and can only vaguely hear the surrounding sounds. This hope... This belief is what I brought from the mortal world. I don’t know how much you know about China. We will burn paper money to worship our ancestors, and at the same time express our wishes for hope for the future and for a better life. We usually burn paper money during major festivals and the Qingming Festival, which is dedicated to worshiping ancestors. The time of my mortal body happens to be during the Spring Festival. I guess it is when my relatives burn paper money that they have hopes and wishes for me. , thus turning into a power that can be used in the afterlife.”
Most of the people were stunned. The tall and thin man immediately said: "Yes, burn paper money. I have burned paper money too. That thing came from China a few years ago. I think it is very cool. By the way, Lord, my name is Tom Theodore, and I will serve you devoutly."
"Call my name!" Lu Yuanming didn't have a good tone towards Tom. Whether it was Tom's previous behavior of abandoning the child or his words and deeds that resembled betrayal as soon as he entered the vault, Lu Yuanming was very wary of him.
"Yes, Lord, no, Mr. Lu." Tom felt that he could stretch and bend. He ignored Lu Yuanming's alienation and immediately said respectfully.
At this time, the second thirty-year-old elite woman who had knelt down said: "Mr. Lu, I am Martha Julian, a noble tutor. I know that in many myths and religions, there are sacrifices to gods and sacrifices. The consciousness of the dead should be the same as the burning of paper money in China. In the past, we only regarded it as religious rituals, but now that we are all in the afterlife, could it be that these rituals led to your awakening of divinity?"
"I am not a god, nor do I have divinity!"
Lu Yuanming emphasized very firmly: "We must talk about science!"
Everyone showed strange expressions, and psychiatrist Kesuen suddenly said: "Mr. Lu, is your power unlimited?"
Lu Yuanming shook his head and said: "It is impossible to use it infinitely. We all know the conservation of matter and the conservation of energy. My relatives burned paper money, then made a wish and obtained this... power of faith, and then I obtained it in the afterlife. This power must have a conversion formula. To be honest, I can still produce food and fresh water three times now, and then I will never be able to produce it again."
Most people immediately showed expressions of disappointment or even despair, and the middle-aged and elderly man immediately bowed to Lu Yuanming and said: "My Lord, please don't be so depressed. You can travel between the underworld and the mortal world, which is divine in itself." Symbol, but now we just lack believers. We are already dead. The dead cannot provide you with faith, but the living can. You can go back to the mortal world to develop believers and tell them that the end is coming and the Day of Judgment has arrived. , you can preach your way, let the world walk on your way, let your country be established on the earth, and this faith will also be brought to this underworld."
"Yes, yes, you can go back and find more people to burn paper money." Tom said immediately.
The rest of the people also said the same thing.
Basically everything Lu Yuanming said was the truth. He kept in mind that sincerity is the biggest killer, but he did not tell the whole truth. For example, after killing monsters, he could absorb white light particles, and then rely on He didn't say anything about using these white light particles to become stronger.
Even as a young man who had just graduated from college, he had already been stabbed in the back once, and seeing the dark nature of humanity, he had already thought about it a lot these days.
Don’t worry about scarcity, only worry about inequality. This is the teaching of our ancestors.
He can show his specialness. As long as others cannot see or use colorless light particles, then he is unique and can bring food and weapons, which makes him qualified as a leader.
But at the same time, if he is the only one who can become stronger after killing monsters and let others know about it, then this is a huge hidden danger.
It's okay for you to be an ant, but you can become a butterfly by yourself, but what do you think about it for others?
So Lu Yuanming didn't say that he could gradually recover from the vegetative state as long as he killed monsters. He smiled and said: "Yes, I have this plan, but my mortal body is in a vegetative state. Although I can slowly recover from it, Recovery has started to take shape, but it takes time. In addition, I also want to give it a try. In addition to burning paper money, my relatives, my friends, or more others will chant my name and care about me. This will Whether it will bring the power of faith, I can try these later."
Everyone was smiling. Although Lu Yuanming said that he could only conjure food three more times, there was no doubt that this was hope, and they were indeed witnessing some kind of miracle at this moment.
At this time, the middle-aged and elderly man said very seriously and respectfully: "My Lord, I am Edward James, the preacher of St. John's Cathedral. Please tell us your way, Lord, and let us practice your way. So that we can be saved.”
Lu Yuanming was a little confused, but everyone around him had serious faces, even Tom, who had always behaved like a gangster. They stood around Lu Yuanming, even those who were still suspicious, this Sometimes I couldn't help but hold my breath and pretended to listen carefully.
(...Are Europeans and Americans so devout in their faith? But I really don’t understand these gods and goddesses at all, let alone things like Christianity and Christianity.)
Lu Yuanming really didn't know what to say.
But he didn't know, because the ability he showed and the rescue he brought in food in this desperate situation were really the only life-saving straw for these people in front of him, and the vast majority of Europeans and Americans are not essentially atheists. They are all more or less influenced by Christianity, the Bible, Jesus Christ, etc.
Even those who were still skeptical still treated Lu Yuanming with a mentality that they would rather believe him.
What if?
What if Lu Yuanming is really the Messiah? Is it just that he doesn't know his identity?
And when the Messiah first preached, they were actually equivalent to the twelve disciples of Jesus!
Lu Yuanming looked at the expectant expressions of everyone. He could only cough helplessly, and then, with the mentality that sincerity is the greatest weapon, he began to say: "My way, that is..."
"Prosperity, democracy, civilization, harmony, freedom, equality, justice, rule of law, patriotism, dedication, integrity, and friendliness!"
"We must be serious and lively, united and friendly, diligent and brave!"
"We must use our hands to realize our dreams and achieve our future!"
"We must not be afraid of hardship or sacrifice, and use human strength to fight against all difficulties and obstacles!"
"There is no savior in this world, and neither the monarch nor God can save us. We must save ourselves, find more humans, unite them, and then form a collective to use collective strength to open up this afterlife and eliminate all monsters and monsters!"
Lu Yuanming said sincerely to the stunned crowd: "This is my way. I hope everyone can practice it."
