"........."

At this moment, Xiaotong, I, and Kazuha, the three of us are sneaking in an alley in the commercial street.

We are now on a mission to secretly track Miki Sakurai.

According to Kazuha, she felt that Sakurai's recent whereabouts were a bit secretive before, and she always shied away when asking her out.

Combined with the Moon Festival, Sakurai said some strange things, such as "I haven't given up hope for Ning Meng", "Maybe I can see Ning Meng in the near future", Kazuha felt that Something was wrong, so I went to Sakurai Miki's house to look for her, but she was not at home.However, Kazuha sees suspicious leaflets in Sakurai's room.

That is the one we are holding now, the huge font occupies the entire cover——

[Can the dead really be reborn?Yes, no, or... maybe? 】

Underneath it was written in small print——

[If you want to know more and get answers from the Bible for free, please go to No. XXX, XXX Street. 】

How should I put it, it couldn't be more suspicious!

Kazuha sighed: "Sakurai...she must be trying to revive Ning Meng, so she is so hotheaded, she was deceived by this kind of thing, right?"

"Tsk... I didn't ask her to resurrect me. By the way... Is resurrection really possible?"

Xiao Tong whispered back to me: "Then it has to be defined, what exactly is a 'resurrection', if it's physical resurrection, then I think it's almost impossible to do it, if it's invading other people's bodies and then living... ...that doesn't sound like it belongs in the Bible."

Kazuyu directly opened his mouth and recited: "The same is true for the resurrection of the dead. The body sown is mortal, and the body resurrected is immortal. The body sown is disgraceful, and the body resurrected is glorious. The body of God is weak, but the body of the resurrection is mighty. A body of flesh and blood is sown, and a body of spirit is resurrected. With a body of flesh and blood, there is a body of spirit. From "15 Corinthians" [-] Chapter, this is the resurrection described in the Bible, Xiaotong, you must have not listened well to the Bible class at school."

"..." Xiaotong was silent for a while, and then continued, "I remembered, 'whatever is in heaven, so is whoever goes to heaven'. So, the resurrection mentioned in the Bible is to become a spirit. Body going to heaven? That doesn't sound very appealing."

"Little Tong, you should not say such things in school...you will be spanked by the nun."

Whispering in low voices, we followed Sakurai carefully, and watched her walk into a building whose address was exactly the same as that printed on the leaflet.

"What should we do? Shall we follow directly? Will we be discovered?"

"But, there is no other way, right?"

"Come on! I'm here! Even if there are believers in a cult, they can be defeated with telekinetic power! As long as you kill all the witnesses, that's a qualified stealth!"

So, at my instigation, the three of us carefully sneaked into the building.The different floors of this building seem to be leased to different companies. While we were still studying the signage on the first floor, a very beautiful older sister walked over, looking about 20?About the age of a college student or a new professional.

"How are you? Excuse me..." The eldest sister pointed to the flyer in our hands, and secretly glanced at the cross on Xiaotong's uniform, and then asked very friendly, "Are you a sister who wants to learn about the Bible?"

"Yes." Kazuha nodded directly, "One of our friends just passed away, and we happened to receive this flyer, so we want to know more about it..."

"Ah, that's really... so regrettable. That friend of yours should have gone to the Lord's side. In this way, it happens that we have a meeting today. Would you like to try to listen in? Maybe I can answer some of your doubts."

Kazuha nodded.

Is it so rigid?Doesn't this mean he will meet Sakurai directly?

Guided by this kind big sister, we came to a small venue on the second floor.

There were already about a dozen people at the scene, including men and women, old people, young people looking at high school students, and housewives with children, but at first glance, the proportion of women was significantly higher higher.They all look modestly dressed and smile at you when their eyes meet.

Strangely, we didn't see Miki Sakurai.

The big sister walked over and whispered something to a middle-aged man in his 50s who was wearing a formal suit, and the man nodded.

Then, the man raised his hands and clapped his hands twice, and the venue quickly fell silent.

"Dear spiritual brothers and sisters, I am very glad that you have come to today's meeting again. Today is something special. We welcome two sisters who want to train our Bible study."

In an instant, everyone's eyes were on Hitomi and Kazuha, and everyone smiled gently and applauded.

"Our big family is always looking forward to the addition of fresh blood, and I hope that after you have learned enough biblical knowledge and decided to pursue the truth, you can also join our family and become our sisters."

Xiaotong's eyes wandered, and she seemed to want to slip away, but Kazuha nodded, as if she was really going to sit down and listen.

The middle-aged man who was called "Elder" by others gave Hitomi and Kazuha each a booklet called "Discerning the Truth of the Bible".

The next process is really the study of this booklet. A lecturer inspects each person's learning situation of this booklet, asks them to answer a few questions, even children will ask them to answer one or two questions, and then That is, they chat with each other and talk about their recent spiritual progress and new insights.After everyone finished speaking, the others would applaud and encourage. They even pulled Xiaotong and Yiyu to ask some questions, and the whole atmosphere seemed very friendly and harmonious.

However, there is a girl who looks about the same age as us, she should also be a high school student, right?Seemingly a little uninterested, she was still playing with her mobile phone at first, but after being slapped hard by her mother next to her, she put away her mobile phone.After answering two questions correctly, she said she wanted to go to the bathroom, got up and left.

No one in the room seemed to be able to see me, so I floated aside and listened.

Anyway, I am also a student of a Catholic girls' school, and I have been studying under my mother's request since I was a child, so I am still very familiar with the content of the "Bible".But listening to it from the sidelines, I always felt a little strange, as if there was a slight discrepancy with my knowledge of the Bible.

For example, they say that Jesus is the only begotten son of God Jehovah and the archangel Michael, but in Catholic doctrine, God is a trinity, and the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit point to the same God.

Xiaotong obviously didn't study the "Bible" well. She looked hopeless, and she endured it again and again, and finally asked, "Hello? May I ask a question?"

The elder looked at her gently and said, "Of course."

"We saw leaflets saying that if you study the Bible carefully, it seems that the dead can be resurrected? I have a friend who died. Can she be resurrected?"

The elder replied, "That depends on how advanced your friend's knowledge of the Bible is."

"You mean... she can only be resurrected if she learns your teachings? But she is already dead, so she can't be resurrected?"

The elder nodded and said: "It is true. If she did not improve her relationship with God during her lifetime, she would fall into the secular trap and be tempted by Satan, so she would not be able to be resurrected in the new world. The last days are coming, only believers, to be taken up to heaven to be resurrected in God's eternal Paradise."

"I see." Xiaotong nodded, and she pulled Yiyu, indicating that she could leave quickly.

After expressing her desire to leave, the big sister at the beginning sent us to the gate of the venue.

"Do you want to continue to attend the next meeting?" the sister asked, "We have meetings every weekend. Everyone here is very kind and good. It is a very joyful thing to form a very deep friendship and to remain in the love of God."

"Well, let's think about it, maybe we don't have a deep understanding of the Bible yet..."

"That's it..." The younger sister's face clearly showed regret, "Then if you want to join our family, please come and see more~"

After walking all the way outside the building, Xiaotong let out a long sigh of relief.

Xiaotong's resistance was too obvious, so I complained, "Why are you reacting so strongly? These people... look okay, everyone is very kind and kind? It's just that there is something wrong with the understanding of the teachings."

Xiaotong gave me a blank look, "Sister, you don't understand. I've seen this thing before, this is..."

Before she could finish her sentence, a loud noise interrupted her.

Huh, I always feel... This scene is a bit familiar.

We looked back at the building we had just walked out of, and saw a girl lying on the ground in front of the building.She had obviously just fallen from a high place. Under her body, the blood was spreading in all directions, gradually converging into a small lake.

For a moment, I feared that the girl lying on the ground could be Sakurai, but after observing her face carefully, I realized that this was the girl we had just seen in the cult venue.

At the same time, I also observed that on the inside of the girl's exposed left arm, there was a pattern of a whale carved with sharp objects.

I instantly raised my head and looked towards the building above.

I always feel that at just that moment, from a window on a certain floor above the building, I felt a certain line of sight.

Chapter 13 The Soul in the Blood

Just now... there was indeed a figure looking down in front of the window on a certain floor of the building, right?Who is that?

When I went to observe carefully again, I found that I could no longer catch the shadow just now.

The surrounding crowd has been screaming and commotion in an instant.I watched Xiaotong's reaction, and found that her hanging hand started to tremble slightly again.

Is this probably PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) after witnessing my friend fall to his death?

Those people in the rally just walked out of the building quickly, and the one who walked the most hastily was probably the girl's mother just now, right?

I saw her throwing herself on the body of the girl on the ground and crying loudly.

The ambulance arrived quickly, and just as the emergency personnel were carrying the stretcher and were about to lift the person on the ground into the car, the mother suddenly grabbed the doctor.

The mother said eagerly, "I'm sorry, but she can't have a blood transfusion."

"Huh? What?" The medical staff were full of question marks.

"I mean, because of religious reasons, she can't have blood transfusions." The mother repeated it again with a sad face.

The brothers and sisters behind her who had just studied the Bible together showed expressions of relief at the moment, only the young lady we saw at the beginning frowned secretly.

Yiyu sneaked up to that young lady, pulled her clothes, then pulled her aside, and asked with some doubts: "Hi, I'm sorry... I don't understand what that aunt said... …What does it mean that you can’t get a blood transfusion?”

The young lady replied in a low voice: "In our sect, it is not allowed to accept blood transfusions from others."

"Ah? Why..."

"Because... the blood contains the soul. If you accept Satan's blood, your soul will be polluted, and you will not be able to go to heaven."

Kazuha couldn't help being stunned, it was the first time she heard that there was such a strange prohibition in the Christian sect.

The young lady looked at the scene in front of her and couldn't help sighing again, "But, what's the use of not getting a blood transfusion, suicide is a serious crime, even if she didn't get a blood transfusion, she wouldn't be able to go to heaven..."

I heard it next to me and couldn't help but feel a chill down my spine. Originally, this big sister showed such a regretful expression because the child could not be saved. Was she actually lamenting that she could not go to heaven?

We can't help but silently distance ourselves from people of this sect.

Xiaotong muttered, "They have always been like this. This sect has many strange prohibitions, and this is just one of them. Even Christians will think they are a cult..."

My mind is a little messed up, why does it feel like we have turned into some elementary school students who are the god of death, and people will die wherever we go.What were we here for?

Ah, yes!After being brainwashed by those believers, we almost forgot our original purpose. Didn't we come here with Sakurai?

At this time, I caught it with sharp eyes. A person walked out from the main entrance of the building. It was Miki Sakurai. Unexpectedly, he turned around and walked in another direction.

I gestured to Hitomi and Kazuha, and pointed in the direction of Sakurai, and the two of them immediately chased after knowing it.

"Shiki!" Kazuha said directly.

Sakurai turned around strangely.

"Huh? Kazuha? And...Sister Sankayue, why are you here?"

"This is the question we want to ask you!" After following for so long, Yiyu probably finally didn't want to beat around the bush anymore. She activated her characteristic of recklessness and took out the flyer directly. Seeing Sakurai's face, he asked, "What's going on with this thing! Miki, did you join some strange group!"

"Ah... Jehovah's Witnesses? Well, I went to train once because of curiosity after receiving the flyer, but then I thought it was too ridiculous, so I didn't go there after that. Ha... Kazuha, are you Do you think I will join some cult?"

Kazuha stared straight at Sakurai, "I really think you will."

"Don't worry, I'm not that stupid~ I came here today just to see an art exhibition, the art exhibition in the same building~ I'm not going to attend this strange gathering! Now that we're here, then...is Ning Meng here too?"

I desperately signaled to Xiaotong not to reveal my whereabouts, but she didn't seem to understand my hint at all.

"She's here." Xiaotong replied simply.

"Ning Meng, you are here, right?" Sakurai raised his head and asked into the air.

This is on the street, it is impossible for me to take out a clipboard to reply to her, so... just pretend I didn't hear it~

It’s a bit embarrassing to face Sakurai now. Although after learning of my death, she summoned the spirit again and wanted to avenge me. This time she suspected that she wanted to revive me again, which is quite touching. However, This love makes people feel a little heavy, and sometimes I don't know how to reply.

Sakurai didn't care about my silence, but said to me again: "Ning Meng, I just went to see an art exhibition, and I feel... very beautiful. This art exhibition reminds me, I haven't seen Ning Meng's painting for a long time, and I haven't seen it since... you died. So... Recently, Ning Meng... Can you draw me another self-portrait? ? I can draw one in exchange for you, as we used to do."

drawing?It's not a problem, I really like drawing~

I expressed my affirmation through Xiaotong.

Sakurai showed a happy expression, "Okay, then it's settled! When we meet again next time, remember to give me the painting~"

Sakurai said as if he was about to leave.

"Wait a minute, Miki!" Kazuha stopped Sakurai, "About the girl who committed suicide just now, Miki, do you know anything?"

Sakurai showed a puzzled expression, "Me? How would I know anything? I only saw her once when I was an apprentice in that party last time, and I don't even remember her name. She wants to die, What would I know?"

"Is that so..."

"Then, I'm leaving first? I have something else to do." Sakurai waved her hand, and then hurried away, disappearing into the crowd of people on the street.

However, Hitomi showed a slightly weird expression, "Sister Sakurai...does she seem a little strange?"

"where?"

"Obviously, I heard that Mochizuki-senpai is here. According to Sakurai-senpai's usual style before, she will definitely rush towards you, senpai right away? In the end, she just said hello and left senpai behind." Are you leaving? Is this really Sakurai-senpai? Senior sister, your status in Sakurai-senpai's heart seems to be declining sharply?"

"Hmph, maybe this is a good thing, let her graduate from the dead guy as soon as possible!"

Chapter 14 Strange Things

As a result, it seems to be an empty worry for us.

Sakurai didn't believe in any cult, she just went to an art exhibition.

I did a little research and found that the third floor of that building was indeed an art gallery, and indeed there were art exhibitions.

So... Kazuha must have thought too much.

However, the girl who fell to her death today, the whale pattern carved with a knife on her left arm, still makes me unforgettable for a long time.
