As soon as Ji Yijun said these words, Kara and the others were confused. They had been in the camp for many days and could clearly feel that this foreign magician group did not believe in gods. So when Ji Yijun, the camp manager, rushed out, they all thought that the other party would catch them secretly performing sacrificial ceremonies outside the camp, but they did not expect that the other party would accuse them of gang fighting. This made Kara's prepared remarks useless.
Seeing the confused looks on the faces of these people, Ji Yijun was very proud. Who said I was a fool? Today I will show you my skills.
In fact, he had not thought of this at first. At first he was prepared to rush out and ban feudal superstitious activities.
But when he was about to come forward, Catalina asked, "What are you going to do? There are many moderate believers in the camp. If you arrest all of them because of the rituals of the Ascetic Order, they will probably be very uneasy. Even if they originally don't like this way of natural teaching, they will become sympathetic to them."
"Is it so troublesome?" Ji Yijun was actually a smart man. The key was whether he had thought about it before doing something. He thought about it carefully and suddenly remembered that religious issues had always been one of the biggest problems in his original world.
Only a fool would fight a fanatic head-on. Ji Yijun quickly recalled how governments on Earth handled such situations, and soon he came up with this trick.
"Master Ji, we are all members of the Ascetic Order. Is there any problem with offering sacrifices to the God of Nature outside the camp? There will be no fight." Kara said.
Ji Yijun smiled and pointed at his nose and said, "Do you think I'm a fool? There's such an obvious smell of blood around here, and you tell me there's no fight?"
He handed Annie to Caterina, then pulled Victor over and tore off his clothes, revealing his bloodstained back. He had just been whipped forty times in a row, and many bloodstains had not yet coagulated and were slowly oozing out, a mixture of bright red and dark purple, very shocking.
"This is a temple ritual!" Kara argued.
Ji Yijun looked around and said, "There are no priests or altars here. I heard some noise and came over to see what was going on. All I saw was people arguing and fighting. You're telling me this is a religious ceremony? Do you think I've never seen anyone from the Temple of Nature? Are you kidding me? Or is bullying children part of the rituals of the Temple of Nature?"
"We are not bullying Annie, we are just teaching her what a believer should do!" Kara said loudly.
"Oh?" Ji Yijun turned around, half squatted down, and asked Annie, "Annie, right? Don't be afraid! Tell me, did they bully you or beat you?"
Anne had originally buried her head in Catalina's arms, but she turned her head and nodded vigorously several times.
"Lilith, take care of your daughter!" Kara shouted.
However, Lilith lowered her head and said nothing.
"Listen! I am the manager of this camp. Before I ask you to speak, shut up!" Ji Yijun said, "Look, little Annie has already said that you are the ones bullying her."
"But we can't just listen to a little girl. She doesn't even understand the meaning of our sacrifice. Don't you think so?" Kara said to the people around her. A few people nodded, but others didn't dare to say anything.
"Okay! In that case, let's listen to what the adults have to say." Ji Yijun waved to Victor and said, "Come here!"
Victor walked up to Ji Yijun tremblingly, looked at Ji Yijun nervously, and then looked at Kara.
Ji Yijun took a few steps, picked up the bloody branch that he had used to whip someone, and gestured in front of Victor. Victor's neck shrank back immediately.
"Don't be nervous. My questions are easy to answer. And you don't have to worry about anyone. You have to remember that I am the one who has the final say in the camp. No one can do anything to you. Do you understand?" Ji Yijun said seriously while waving the branch.
"I know, I know. Sir, I will tell you what I have to say." Victor nodded repeatedly.
"Very good. Then just give me a simple answer to whatever I ask." Ji Yijun began to ask, "Your name is Victor, right?"
"yes."
"You're the fisherman in the camp, right?"
Victor was a little surprised. He didn't expect that this gentleman knew his background. He answered more carefully, "Yes."
"The wound on your back was caused by this branch, right?"
"That's right. But..." Victor looked at Kara, who had a very ugly expression on her face.
"You just need to answer yes or no. Is it from this branch?"
"yes."
"Kara hit you with it, didn't she?"
“Uh, … yes.”
"The injuries on your back were caused by her beating you like this, right?"
"yes"
"Kara also hit other people with this, right?"
"Yes, but..."
Ji Yijun didn't give him a chance to talk nonsense, and then asked: "Kara is going to use this branch to hit Annie, a little girl of seven or eight years old, right?"
Victor glanced at Anne. She was still lying in Catalina's arms. At this moment, she tilted her head slightly and looked at him out of the corner of her eye. That expression softened his heart. He sighed and said, "Yes."
"Annie doesn't want to be beaten, does she?"
"yes."
"Her mother wants to protect her, but Kara won't let Annie go, right?"
"yes."
"Kara has been hitting people with branches for a long time, right?"
"yes."
"Very well, I have finished my questioning. It seems that the evidence is strong."
Victor lowered his head and walked to the other side, standing far away from Kara.
Ji Yijun threw the branch in his hand and said, "This disgusting thing is important evidence, so I'll take it away. Kara, come with me to the camp management office. Why, do you still want me to tie you up and take you away?"
"Sir, what do you think is the point of entertaining Victor, other than humiliating us!"
Ji Yijun took out his phone and clicked a few times. A voice came from inside, "Kara is going to use this branch to hit Annie, a little girl of seven or eight years old, right? ... Yes!"
"Evidence. Everyone in the camp will hear it with their own ears."
"If you bully us believers of God like this, the God of Nature will be furious!" Kara shouted. She was full of resentment, but she couldn't explain why. She just felt that the man in front of her was the biggest devil in the world. For a moment, she didn't know where she got the courage from, and she suddenly rushed towards Ji Yijun to snatch the phone from his hand.
Ji Yijun raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and when she pounced in front of him, he turned lightly and avoided her movement, but Kara fell heavily to the ground because of her unstable center of gravity.
He turned a deaf ear to Kara's curse and said to Duke who was hiding on the side: "I heard that you are in cahoots with her? It's up to you to decide how many times to hit her."
"No, no, I'm no different from Victor, it's just that this time, Kara asked me to say how many hits each person should have, and the others have had their turns. I, I didn't mean to hit Annie just now." Duke said hurriedly.
"Okay, I'll trust you for now. You and Victor put Kara on the rack and follow me." Ji Yijun walked towards the camp first. Katharina handed Annie back to Lilith, gave her a few instructions, and followed him.
Duke and Victor looked at each other, and then they held Kara on the left and right and followed Ji Yijun.
"You will regret it. You will regret it! You will end up in the desolate hell just like those believers of false gods!" Kara gasped and repeated this sentence.
"I never regret anything myself, I only make others regret it." Ji Yijun said with a smile, "But what did you say? Believer of the false god, it seems that you know something interesting?"
——————————
In Luo Ling's office, Ji Yijun stood in front of her desk again, but this time he sent Katarina away.
"Kara used to be a priest apprentice, well, a clergyman one level lower than the trainee priest. Later, before she became a trainee priest, her village was looted by the imperial army, and she was sold as a slave to Suero. The remaining group of people were only attracted by her promise of entering the kingdom of God after death and extra food after they arrived here. Kara worked in the cafeteria and embezzled a lot of food. Every time they completed the "natural teaching", Kara would share the food she brought from the cafeteria with them. Hey, I didn't expect that such conditions could really fool others into getting beaten." Ji Yijun said.
"For these poor people who are used to being hungry, smoking a stick is almost equivalent to two or three days of free food," said Luo Ling.
This time, she listened to Ji Yijun's report carefully and looked very serious. She then said, "This matter was handled very smartly. You continue to pay attention to the movements of these believers. Let us handle Kara."
"I want to ask you how you plan to deal with her? Among these people, she is the only true fanatic. Fortunately, she doesn't have any power, otherwise she would probably fight me to the death in the forest." Ji Yijun said.
"People like this are destabilizing factors in the camp. Our current situation can be said to be walking on thin ice. We don't have any capital to be a saint. If she can't change herself, then there is no need for her to appear here."
"Are you planning to silence me?" Ji Yijun was a little surprised by the answer.
"No, the guards of Camp No. 1, Cole and Gamero, also captured several so-called false god believers. These people used violence when they were trying to persuade others to join their religion. I think they are very suitable to be Kara's cellmates." Luo Ling said seriously.
"They are cruel enough. They are enemies that will never give up until one of them dies." Ji Yijun praised sincerely.
"In addition, mining also requires hard labor, and it's time to find something for the people in the temporary prison to do." She added, "Remember one principle: we must deal heavy blows to the core elements with ulterior motives and those who stir up trouble. But for ordinary people who have been bewitched, we must patiently help them."
"Yeah, I understand. Divide them. Let's get most people on our side."
"Well, keep working hard." Luo Ling raised her hand to see the guest off.
"Oh right! Kara mentioned those false god believers. She told me that they seemed to be planning something. I want to talk to them. Maybe they can give me some clues about the incident in Crete."
