Although Lu Yuanming said something about going to seek revenge from the MXG gang, it was naturally impossible for him to just slap his head and rush away with them.
This requires some planning and some prerequisites, such as finding the specific location of the MXG gang, figuring out their composition, and confirming who holds the rifle that was lost when John died and how many rounds of ammunition are left. kind.
And all this involves another person, Tom.
According to what everyone said, John went out to explore three times in a row during the eighteen days after Lu Yuanming returned to the mortal world. Each time, he took a person with him. But on the third trip, he encountered an accident, and that The person accompanying this trip was Tom.
After the incident, Tom ran back alive and brought back the news that John was stabbed in the back and the rifle was snatched away. However, other than that, he did not explain why he was unscathed and why those who stabbed John in the back could do so. Find the base of the bank quickly.
All the disciples thought that Tom had betrayed once again, just like Judas betrayed Jesus in the myth, but this time they were on tight guard, so Tom could only betray St. John, but not the Messiah.
When Tom returned to the bank, he was imprisoned by many disciples. Although no one beat or abused him, no one interceded or spoke for him. His fate would be decided by Lu Yuanming.
After Lu Yuanming entered the bank, he immediately asked someone to bring Tom. He looked at Tom's haggard expression and said warmly: "I want to know what happened when you and John went exploring. You have to be honest. If you are innocent, I guarantee that no one will harm you; if you are guilty, I guarantee that I will only punish you to the extent of your crime."
Tom burst into tears all of a sudden. While crying, he knelt down to Lu Yuanming and said, "Lord, I didn't betray St. John, and I didn't betray anyone. When St. John was stabbed in the back, I was frightened. Broken, and then ran back to the bank desperately. Lord, I really did not betray. Please believe me. I am the Judas who has betrayed once because of ignorance and ignorance of the sacred. I will do it again. I will never and dare not betray the Lord once again!!"
Lu Yuanming was silent for a moment, then said to Tom: "Our most important goal next is to find those MXG people, judge them, and kill the guilty. You must accompany us in this battle, and after the war I I will also ask those MXG people whether you have betrayed me. If you lie now, I will also choose to punish you because of the extent of your lies. The maximum is death, and the second is deportation. Have you figured it out?"
Tom immediately said excitedly: "I understand, Lord, I am willing to bear all the consequences of what I am saying now. I did not betray anyone. I was just too cowardly and ran away immediately after St. John was killed." .”
Lu Yuanming nodded and motioned for Tom to stand up, but the disciples next to him immediately started talking. Most of them thought that Tom was lying. Even if they didn't say that he was lying, they thought that he ran away when John was attacked. Betrayal.
Lu Yuanming immediately said to everyone seriously: "Everyone, as you can see, I am just a young man who has just come out of society. I do not have so much social experience, nor do I have the talent to grasp the power of people, and I am not a cunning person. , I just treat you with the greatest sincerity. Here, I still want to explain that I am not a person studying law, and my understanding of the law is very simple, and the environment we are in now is not enough to copy it. The legal framework of the living world, so we use the original and simplest meaning of the law to determine Tom's crime and punishment. The murderer must die, and the injury and theft will not be punished. This is not only for Tom, but also for our organization and the future. Everyone who joins the organization is suitable for this simple value system. Until we have enough numbers, social progress, and productivity increase, then we can work together to build more detailed legal provisions, okay?"
Everyone listened carefully to Lu Yuanming's words, which made many people nod secretly, including those who had huge doubts about Lu Yuanming's identity as the Messiah.
Of course, there were also a few people who were dissatisfied. Someone immediately said: "Lord, what if Tom is lying? What if all the MXG gangsters were killed in the battle with us? Then his crime is not Has it been concealed?"
Letting sin go unpunished was definitely the last thing many people wanted to accept, so some people did look at Tom angrily.
Lu Yuanming stood in front of Tom at this time. His nearly two-meter-tall body completely blocked Tom behind him. He said loudly: "So this is what I call simple justice values! Tom may be guilty, maybe Betrayal, maybe lying, maybe we can’t get the truth because of our war with the MXG people, but the most important point is, do any of you have evidence of his betrayal, crime, and lying!?”
"Everyone, I have also learned about your country in the living world. It is not just your country. It seems to be like this all over the world, including my country. Many things have been distorted. Just because it is not true this time, does not mean that it is true for others. It didn't happen. Just because there is no evidence does not mean that it has not been done... and so on. It is true that searching for evidence may allow some criminals and villains to escape legal punishment, but please remember, I would rather Let 10,000 evildoers go because of insufficient evidence, and never ignore the evidence and let an innocent person be punished!"
Having said this, Lu Yuanming thought of the religious atmosphere of these people, and he immediately said: "If you still think that you are my disciples and you still think that you are practicing my way, then you must recognize this. , This should be the case now and in the future. If you want to identify a person's sin, you must provide incomparable evidence of the sin, and you cannot cheat or make false claims. If not, you are not my disciples. , and they are not my believers!”
Lu Yuanming thought that these words were borrowed from the religious atmosphere of these people, but in the minds of most people present, it was like a bolt from the blue.
Father Edward was the first to kneel down and immediately said with tears in his eyes: "If anyone comes to me and does not love me more than his parents, wife, children, brothers, sisters, and his own life, he cannot come to me." Be my disciples... Lord, it’s us foolish lambs who have polluted the Lord’s love. Please don’t abandon us, please lead us to continue walking on the Lord’s path!!”
Everyone around him knelt down and prayed loudly, and Tom cried loudly, kneeling and kowtowing while crying.
Charlie looked at all this, with various thoughts in his mind. In the end, he knelt down and said to Lu Yuanming: "Sir, please let me follow your way, but I don't believe in God. Please be my godfather." , please let me kiss your right hand."
Lu Yuanming hesitated for a moment, he didn't understand the reason why Charlie wanted to kiss his right hand.
(Perhaps it is some kind of religious ceremony? Like the way Christians cross themselves on the chest? I’m really fed up. They can’t talk properly. For example, after the crusade against the MXG people, let’s all reform the community and arrange a Five-year plan or something?)
Although he didn't understand, but in the spirit of cultural differences, respecting the religion and culture of Europeans and Americans, and asking for common ground while reserving differences, Lu Yuanming still smiled and handed his right hand to Charlie, and Charlie kissed Lu Yuanming gently. With his right hand, he then said to Lu Yuanming: "Sir, please give me two pistols and enough ammunition. My men and I will be responsible for finding the location of the MXG people, and maybe we can also kidnap one or two lone people."
Among the initial disciples, a few showed hesitation on their faces, but Lu Yuanming had just said harsh words, so they did not dare to say anything. Lu Yuanming, based on the idea of dismissing people who are suspicious, and not questioning people when they are employed, immediately Agree to Charlie's request.
Even if Charlie really runs away with two pistols, in this afterlife, ammunition cannot be replenished and only Lu Yuanming can make it, then these two pistols and ammunition are just handed over. A one-time tuition fee, and it also eliminates the unstable factors in the team. This transaction is actually not a loss at all, but if Charlie really wants to play for this organization, then this is to gain people's hearts and loyalty. Who doesn't want the organization to be able to What about trusting yourself wholeheartedly?
Charlie and his younger brother got two pistols and all the bullets that went with the two pistols. He didn't say much, just bowed deeply to Lu Yuanming, and then ran to the end of the block with his younger brother. .
In the following time, Lu Yuanming first asked the people in the team one by one what their occupations were and what level of education they had received. Then he rushed to the park to check the growth of potatoes, and then returned to the bank and Everyone discussed the use of the remaining twenty colorless light particles.
Then at this moment, the person on the whistle ran back to report that Charlie and others were back, and they also brought an injured person with them.
When Charlie walked into the bank carrying a Latino man covered in blood, the crowd was in an uproar.
Charlie smiled and said to Lu Yuanming: "Father, I have lived up to your expectations. This blood is the blood of the enemy. This man is one of the MXG people captured by us. He will tell us where their base is. A place where we can avenge St. John.”
Lu Yuanming was overjoyed. He really lacked people like Charlie who dared to fight hard. Most of the people in the team were gentle and gentle.
He was also very surprised. Since he learned about John's death, many people have talked about St. John again and again. Could it be that Europeans and Americans like to add the word "holy" before the names of dead people?
However, this does not hinder Lu Yuanming's next actions. He has long wanted to try whether colorless light particles can do other things besides making weapons, ammunition, food, and fresh water.
He held a colorless light particle in his hand, came to the dying MXG man and said, "If I save you, then can you tell me your location and all the crimes you have committed?"
Lu Yuanming didn't wait for the man to speak. In the next second, he pressed the colorless light particles towards the MXG man's wound.
