What important secret? I intuitively felt that this was the key to the matter, so I held my breath and became more and more afraid to interrupt Uncle Wei Jun's story.
"My resurrection is because the real God has come and pulled me out of hell! Only after experiencing it did I know what the real God is, and I also know that we believe in it from the bottom of our hearts, so we You must sacrifice it! A real god will not accept sacrifices in vain, it will give you unexpected rewards. Even if you don't believe it now, then I welcome you to prove whether I am Wei Donglai or not."
That night, Wei Donglai didn't mince words at all, he directly said some shocking words and brought out his purpose.
It turned out that he wanted people to believe in an unknown god, and then promised inexplicable, unexplained benefits.
"What's next? Do people believe it?" I couldn't wait to ask. As Uncle Wei Jun told me, I seemed to see a mysterious and unknown existence, and the conspiracy against this small town officially kicked off. .. And the people in the small town were included in it, and the massacre had begun.
"What do you think? Such a nonsense thing, and in a society where everyone believes in science, who would believe it immediately?" Uncle Wei Jun asked me, but then he said for a few seconds God, then said: "But... everyone's hearts are very shaken, because, you know, a dead person stands alive in front of people. What is more shocking than this?"
People's hearts are suspicious, but often due to the "bad nature" in a certain person's soul, once many people believe in a certain thing, they will become the most loyal "supporters" of this thing, even if this thing ends up with many consequences. The doubt is about to be proven to be a lie, but these people will consciously defend it, because many people are unwilling to admit that they have 'lost' once they have given up a certain mood, and they do not have the courage to face their mistakes.
That's more or less the situation in the town.
Liu Weijun will never forget the scene that night. People rushed to ask Wei Donglai questions. The questions were extremely sharp. It felt like they were trying hard to prove that the person in front of them was not Wei Donglai, but they were also afraid of confirming that the person in front of them was not Wei Donglai.
But Wei Donglai's performance was 'perfect', without any flaws at all. Liu Weijun also believed in this truth. Even if there are two identical people in this world, it is impossible to have two identical memories. If so, then There is only one possibility. There are no two people, it can only be the person himself.
That night, standing on the rooftop in high spirits was Wei Donglai himself.
The people who confirmed all this fell silent, and the crowd of onlookers grew. It was not a big town to begin with. As the news spread, almost everyone in the town showed up, including people from the timber transportation office, including The people from the town government... So much so that later, Wei Donglai had to use a loudspeaker to answer everyone.
"Nearly tens of thousands of people, right? All crowded together! News spreads at an incredible speed, you know? That kind of scene cannot be replicated in many places, even if a huge event occurs." Uncle Wei Jun recalled Watching the scene of that night.
But my heart is trembling, there are almost tens of thousands of people? And I observe that in this town now, there are only one or two thousand people at most, right? Where are people? It's impossible for them all to leave the town. Now that the conspiracy has begun, how could it be so easy to leave the town? I seemed to see a huge whirlpool swallowing innocent lives.
"I can imagine. That day, almost everyone in the town was promoted by Wei Donglai to the so-called god, right?" Even though my heart was shaking, I still wanted to continue listening.
"Yes, that's it! Wei Donglai told everyone in the town that the greatest gift from God is actually life, and living is the foundation of everything! If you want to get out of death like him, you must believe in what God said ! The more devoutly you believe, the more you get, and what you get is lifespan, more and more lifespan, until eternal life!" Uncle Wei Jun was calm when he said this.
But I feel my scalp is numb, is it life? Years? That is simply not a temptation that a person can resist. If a person has endless years, then... I can simply imagine the terrible scene. Because of the endless years, inheritance will be meaningless, and many people will even You think your children have no meaning, what can be greater than your own life? Yes, this idea is very ugly. If many people want to face themselves, they will tremble to find that they really think this way.
Use the greatest temptation to lure out the greatest ugliness in the depths of human nature, followed by crazy belief! How many children in this town were sent to the so-called holy village
I pursed my lips, not knowing what to say. How strong will it take to resist this temptation? How sincere and deep emotions are needed to keep people sane and not degenerate into madness
"Do you think of their crazy sacrifice last night?" Uncle Wei Jun asked me.
I nodded numbly.
"Last night was not crazy, was it? In fact, there were more than just children? There were many people in this town... many people suffered the same fate! Do you know that helplessness? Your relatives and friends who were driven crazy by you, The helplessness of sacrificing your lover to the so-called gods and sending them to unknown horrors? You can't think about this feeling. When you think about it, you will feel extremely desperate for this world! However, Rome was not built in a day, so people are so Wei Donglai is not such a persuasive person with crazy beliefs." Uncle Wei Jun said with a sigh.
The ten days after Wei Donglai appeared were a crazy ten days.
Miraculous and terrifying things happened again and again in this small town. For example, an old man who believed in Wei Donglai's teachings suddenly became energetic and his disease disappeared, while a person who was suspicious of Wei Donglai suddenly became... Weakness, or even illness... Such things are not coincidences or accidental events, but they happen one after another, which makes people turn from the initial amazement to numbness, and the so-called faith is consolidated in people's hearts time and time again, and then is Consolidating.
Wei Donglai has almost become the real master of the town, and the so-called town government has also begun to serve him, convening town-wide meetings. According to Wei Donglai's request, he strictly ordered that what happened in the town must be kept secret and must not be reported to outsiders.
In fact, communication was underdeveloped at that time. Unlike today, the spread of an event through the Internet will have an "explosive" effect. Even a phone call can make the spread of an event uncontrollable. as a result of!
The geographical location of this town is inherently remote, and the most common method of communication for people is to write letters, but who controls the post office
The rest is nothing more than that I personally went out to the town to publicize this matter. But if people were willing to share, the world would not have so many disputes. People in this town instinctively want to keep it tight for no reason. Who would want to spread this secret
Therefore, things were strictly controlled in this town from the beginning!
But this is like fruit that has been put into a bottle. One day it will ferment and turn into wine involuntarily... Things that are covered up like this will inevitably change their nature! Therefore, people’s instinct to keep it secret is only at the beginning... .
Because Wei Donglai's requests are getting more and more, and they are getting more and more incredible!
For example, people are beginning to prepare for large-scale sacrificial activities. For example, the sacrifices are becoming more and more strange. From the peeled and crushed poultry at the beginning, they turned into large livestock... and one day, they turned into... For people! Moreover, the first batch of people to be sacrificed and sent to that strange ship were none other than Wei Donglai’s children!
Liu Weijun was also driven a little crazy by this temptation at first. Those ten days were extremely long, and he kept fighting with himself. On the one hand, Uncle Lin's heavy eyes, his father's painful and sad face, and With their instructions, on the one hand, it is also the temptation from life!
It wasn't until the ninth day, when the crazy sacrifices began, that Liu Weijun finally woke up!
Only then did he realize that this town was crazy, the people in this town were crazy, and he almost went crazy too!
It was a bloody night...
