The Divine Power of Comprehensive Comics

"If you really want to kill her, how can you check the forces behind her?"

Xia Qing asked rhetorically.

"Ah... you have a point."

Steele nodded.

At this moment, Steele's cell phone rang.

When he saw the message from Laura, he immediately frowned. The content displayed on it made Steele take a breath.

"The Apostle's Cross...we call it Peter's Cross here. Really, what's going on?"

"What's that Peter's cross?"

Xia Qing stepped forward and knocked out Oriana who was still immersed in the illusion and had not escaped.

"Peter is a person's name. He is one of the twelve apostles. It is said that he is the one who manages the keys to the kingdom of heaven. But the important thing is not this myth, but other inheritances."

"other?"

Steele continued.

"Peter is the owner of the Holy See and the Vatican. No, strictly speaking, it should be that the Vatican City State was established on the vast land of Peter's legacy——"

"Then what did Orthodoxy do in the first place?"

"The tomb was built, Peter's body was buried, and the cross was erected."

Peter's cross refers to the cross erected on Peter's tomb.

Xia Qing leaned against a street tree on one side.

"In other words, the Orthodox opinion is that because this land is where Peter is buried, the church must be committed to the management of the inheritance in order to prevent anyone from disturbing his rest?"

"What Orianna transported was not the "Thrusting Sword", but the "Apostle's Cross"."

Steele said.

"Of course we should pay attention to the former. Didn't I just say it? Strictly speaking, the vast land of Orthodoxy should start from the "Apostles' Cross", the place where it was erected. If this is the case, the other way around..."

"on the other hand?"

Xia Qing answered.

Steele lit a cigarette for himself at this moment, and after taking a puff, he exhaled a large cloud of white smoke.

"Yes, that means that the place where the "Apostle's Cross" is erected will be completely under the control of the Orthodox Church, even Academy City is no exception."

"The "Jiangchu Hang Sword" was originally a sword that could pierce a dragon and nail it to the earth. It was a huge existence with two wings. From the protection of sleeping treasures to the slaughter of selfish desires, such a dragon was an angel serving God and a fallen one. A metaphor for the devil."

Steele continued.

"The purpose of nailing the dragon to the ground is to allow angels to protect this land and turn it into a holy place. That thing is not like a "gold refinement" that can absorb human will. It is completely an "auto-guided object." "A direction that is beneficial to Orthodoxy as a whole", but what would happen if something like this were erected in Academy City?

"So to say……"

The corner of Xia Qing's mouth curled up and he joked.

"In this way, Academy City will become beneficial to the Orthodox Church. Therefore, Orthodox believers will become very lucky when they come to Academy City?"

"Well, if the effect of the "Apostle's Cross" is the same as in the literature, it's not all bad. Orthodox believers who enter this city will continue to win money even if they encounter major wins or losses when gambling, even if the building is bombed You won't be injured at all if you blast it away, this is unnatural, plus..."

Steele curled his lips sarcastically.

“The Apostle’s Cross will also help people other than Orthodox believers. If Orthodox believers continue to win money in gambling, of course some people will lose money.

But "Apostle's Cross" will create a happy situation where it's great to lose, even if it's a bomb. Even if the building is blown up by the explosion, no one will be fatally injured, and it will create a happy state where everyone is okay. "

Upon hearing this, Xia Qing immediately answered.

"It is impossible for the Orthodox Church to be so kind. There must be other reasons hidden in this."

Steele nodded.

"That's right."

The two of them were talking as they walked towards the streets outside the "idler dispersal" range.

“If things like the Apostles’ Cross had not been erected in the first place, no one would have lost money gambling, and no bombs would have been set up to target Orthodox Christians.

At first glance, everyone seems to be living a happy life, but in fact, the "Apostle's Cross" places a huge load on the people around it, and it is invisible. "

In fact, in the history of Christianity, such happy "swappings" occurred unexpectedly frequently.

For example, St. Martin, this guy has a very interesting story.

That was the story of when he destroyed ancient pagan temples and planned to chop down sacred trees for the purpose of preaching Christianity.

The pagan farmers who did not want to become Christians resisted until the end and said: "If there is really a god protecting you, just catch the sacred tree we cut down. If you are really blessed by the god, you should not die."

Upon hearing these words, Saint Martin crossed himself on his chest in front of the sacred tree that fell towards him.

As a result, something incredible happened. The sacred tree fell in the opposite direction, almost crushing the pagan farmers.

The farmers were moved that there was indeed a miracle from the Lord, so they began to believe in Christianity...

"Don't you think this is strange? The person who used the incredible ability to make the sacred tree fall to the peasants is obviously Saint Martin himself. He could have made the sacred tree fall in a safer place."

Steele said with disdain.

"Anyway, the result is that the sacred tree that fell in the opposite direction did not kill the pagans, because this is the mercy bestowed by the Lord, and the farmers who got the opportunity to convert were all happy.

Regardless of whether the result is good or bad, their original history, tradition, and spiritual culture have undoubtedly been wiped out. "

This can indeed give happiness.

But that's not "happiness because something happens", it's "happiness no matter what happens."

This technique has been found to be effective to some extent in psychology.

First, fulfill the absolutely impossible request A, and then make the original request B when the other party begs and fails.

In this way, request B will be easier to achieve than request B from the beginning. Just like B is much better than A, I'm so lucky.

As long as you operate the negative and negative scales in a specific order, you can reduce the relative value of happiness.
