I’m a Witch In Dongying

Chapter 241 White Lotus Sect?

　　 Chiyo looked at Bai Shuiqiu cautiously, smiled, and said gently:

"Of course it’s okay. In fact, you can decide this kind of thing yourself. Now that you have grown up, you don’t need to ask your grandma’s opinion on everything, as long as the decision is made by your heart and goodwill, whether right or wrong, grandma. All support you."

　　 "……"

　　 Bai Shuiqiu lowered his head silently, his eyelashes trembling lightly.

　　 Facing the unreserved trust of her grandma, she felt a little guilty for no reason.

After a pause, Chiyo said again, "But if you bring this girl back, there is nothing wrong with her family, right? Although the couple believed the cult's rhetoric, they wanted to do that to her... but after all Or her parents..."

　　 This is indeed a headache.

　　As Chiyo said, no matter what Hiromi and Moriji did to Asuka, they are still her father and brother after all. This kind of relationship that exists on the level of legal principle and blood relationship cannot be erased out of thin air. With Hyuga Asuka's character and age, it is impossible to do anything to sever the relationship.

therefore……

　　 Although Bai Shuiqiu was in Shimocho and beat the father and son together with Mr. Okawa half to death, it is very tricky to deal with these guys later.

　　 After all, "spreading" a cult can be convicted and arrested, but things like "belief in" a cult cannot be directly used as a ground for conviction.

　　Because in a strict sense, these people who are deceived by cults are actually "victims" who have been poisoned by cult thoughts.

　　 is ridiculous.

　　 is clearly the murderer who harmed Hyuga Asuka, but because of his identity as a "victim," he needs to be protected by the law.

Bai Shuiqiu had never encountered such a situation before, so he couldn't think of a good way for a while, Chiyo smiled, did not say anything, just patted her on the shoulder, and left the room, ready to go to the kitchen. Boiled **** soup.

　　 While Bai Shuiqiu stood alone by the bed, after a while, he heard the cell phone buzzing in his pocket.

Taking a look at the number of the caller, Bai Shuiqiu narrowed his eyes slightly, turned around and closed the door of the bedroom, then came to the corridor outside gently, and pressed the access button: "Is it sister Liangzi? "

"it's me."

　　 Ryoko's voice came from the microphone: "I have probably asked clearly what happened to your classmate.

The girl’s family believed in a cult organization called the "White Lotus Sect", and under the bewilderment of that organization, they regarded Hyuga Asuka as a religious heresy and wanted to take her to undergo a “purification ceremony”, but because of her If you refuse, you will be forced to..."

　　 Bai Shuiqiu has heard of these situations from Hyuga Asuka once, so there is no fluctuation in his heart.

but……

　　 "White Lotus Sect?"

　　 Bai Shuiqiu noticed the term Ryoko mentioned.

　　 This is the first time she has heard the name of this cult.

"Well, I have actually heard of the reputation of this cult. They have existed decades ago. They were originally known as a branch of Buddhism and were active in Ibaraki Prefecture. Later, they gradually spread to including Chiba. The surrounding counties have established branches in many cities, and have ambiguous relations with several consortia and Jidao organizations.

In the 1980s and 1990s, this cult used to be rampant, claiming to have tens of millions of believers-the actual number is almost 10,000 or 20,000. After being suppressed several times by the authorities, it became more restrained. The way of developing believers has also shifted from offline to online.

　　 More than two years ago, Moriji Himu met the guy named Okawa through the Internet, and he was bewitched by the latter to join the teaching. Later, he took the initiative to bring his parents in, and donated several million yuan to Bai Lianzong.

　　Because Hyuga Asuka has been very resistant to this, Okawa has tried several times to brainwash her without success, so he cares about her very much. What happened today is considered to be a long-planned plan..."

　　 "That's it..."

　　 Bai Shuiqiu frowned when she heard it in her ears.

　　 In Japan, cults are actually a very serious social problem.

　　 To be precise, this problem exists throughout East Asia, with Japan and the neighboring stick country being the most prominent.

　　 There are many cults in Japan. Among them, there are more than a dozen that are more active and can be named. If you count the various small cults, Lin Lin always adds up to at least dozens or hundreds. Sometimes even walking on the street, you can see some cult elements distributing leaflets and brochures around, or driving a van in the middle of the night and using loud speakers to promote.

　　 sounds a little bit ridiculous, but they are all real.

　　 In Japan, there is a saying that is not too exaggerated.

That is, if a person stays at home and suddenly hears the sound of a stranger knocking on the door, then the person has a one-third chance of being a cult member, one-third chance of being a toll collector of the NHK TV station, and the last third of the chance. One is the caretaker of the apartment building, the police, or other uninvited guests...

　　Of course, Bai Shuiqiu has never encountered the latter situation. After all, even a cult member, it is impossible to go to the shrine to distribute leaflets...

All in all, cults have penetrated into all aspects of Japanese society. Many of them are deeply involved in business and politics, and even formed their own parties. Therefore, even if the Japanese government has tried several times to suppress cults and promulgated related regulations. Regulations, but the effect is still minimal.

　　 over the phone.

Ryoko continued: "At present, both Hyuga father and son and Okawa have been taken away by the police. We are going to ask about the incident. You may need your classmate to provide some testimony later... In addition, Hyuga Asuka's mother has been taken by me. The arrangement was sent to the hospital, although she herself was a little reluctant..."

"……I see."

　　 It seems that Hyuga Asuka’s mother is also a member of the cult, and at most it is the difference in degree...

　　 A family of four, three followers of the cult, Hyuga Asuka is a normal person...

　　 Bai Shuiqiu is a little unimaginable, what kind of life this girl usually leads.

　　 "What will happen to the Hyuga father and son... spreading cult thoughts, coercing their daughters to participate in purification ceremonies, and committing domestic violence... These should all be grounds for conviction?"

　　 Bai Shuiqiu thought for a while and asked.

　　"From a legal perspective, it is a bit difficult. Because the existence of religious groups is legal, unless there is evidence to prove their cult status, and even so, the Hyuga family, as a believer who is deceived by the cult, cannot be convicted by itself.

　　 But... if you really want them to stay in jail for a while, it's a different matter.

Chapter 242 The Invisible Line

　　 When she said these words, Ryoko's tone was still understatement, as if she was just stating a simple fact.

　　 Bai Shuiqiu was a bit speechless.

　　For the Shendai Foundation, outside the legal framework, it is just a very simple matter to randomly place a crime to send a person to prison. You don't even need Keiko Kanda to speak in person, even Ryoko, who is a bodyguard, can do everything cleanly, so that people can't fault it.

　　 But for Bai Shuiqiu... it's still a little bit unacceptable.

　　 Of course, she is not sympathetic to Hyuga and his son.

In Bai Shuiqiu's view, people like Hiruo Hyuga and Moriji Hyuga really have no qualifications to be fathers and brothers, and they are not worthy of daughters like Asuka Hyuga. Even if they are sent directly to prison for three to five years, they are all It was her own fault, but she obviously couldn't make a unilateral decision on this kind of thing.

　　 The idea of ​​Asuka Hyuga as the person involved is the most important thing.

　　 At least after obtaining the girl’s consent, can we decide what to do with the father and son...

　　 Ryoko obviously had the same idea over there.

The female bodyguard paused, and then spoke again: "Although there are many methods that can impose certain punishments on the Hyuga father and son, or directly convict them, from the standpoint of the Asuka student, this is not the case. Not a good solution to the problem.

　　 As long as the minds of her father and brother did not turn around, even if they were sent to prison, they would still return to their old state after they came out. Unless you can directly sever the parenting relationship between them from a legal level, this kind of thing is not just talk about it.

　　 How to deal with it specifically, I suggest that you still refer to your classmate’s thoughts, so as not to have a bad influence on the relationship between you. "

"Ok……"

　　 Bai Shuiqiu nodded.

　　The situation is about to be finished, Bai Shuiqiu and Ryoko exchanged a few simple words, and they were about to hang up.

　　 But Ryoko seemed to hesitate, and then suddenly added:

"There is another situation, I don’t know if it’s useful for you, but let’s talk about it... In the bedroom of Hyuga’s house, there are many cult propaganda posters. The most common pattern is a black inverse. Seven-pointed star, in the middle is wrapped a white lotus in bud...

　　According to Da Chuan, this pattern is a symbol of the White Lotus Sect, but the specific meaning is not clear. It may be related to the teachings of this religion, or it may be simply for the purpose of making mystery. "

"etc……"

　　 Bai Shuiqiu's pupils shrank slightly and couldn't help but interrupted aloud. The originally absent-minded spirit suddenly tightened again: "You mean... the black seven-pointed star?!"

　　 "To be precise, it is the'Inverse Seven-pointed Star'."

The so-called "reverse" seven-pointed star is the reverse of the normal seven-pointed star. It is different from the positive seven-pointed star with one apex facing upwards and two apex horns facing downwards, but two apex horns facing upwards and one apex facing Down. Although the difference is not very big at first glance, in the fields of religion and occultism, the meanings of these two patterns are completely different.

　　 One positive and one negative, represents the symbol of heaven and hell, and must not be confused.

　　 And for Bai Shuiqiu...

The symbol 　　 also represents some other meanings.

　　 Because, if I remember correctly, the head of the mysterious person with the ID named "Servant of the Gods" is also a black reverse seven-pointed star! !

　　 This is a bit interesting...

The pattern of 　　 inverse seven-pointed star is actually not uncommon in religion, but both happen to appear next to oneself, and they are next to each other in time, which is not like a coincidence.

　　 Is the bald-headed Mr. Okawa the "servant of the gods" he wants to investigate?

　　 But, if that's the case, where did he know that she is a maiden from Tenme Shrine?

　　 What Hyuga Moriji said?

　　Although it is possible, in Shirazuaki's impression, Moriji Hyuga only knew that she was a first-year student in Narita High School, and was a little involved in the Akizuki group, but did not know her relationship with Tenme Shrine. As an insider, Hyuga Asuka, it is impossible for him to actively disclose such things...

　　 Bai Shuiqiu frowned secretly, while thinking, he said, "Can you send me that design?"

　　 "Wait a minute, I will send it to you by mail."

　　 Two minutes later, Bai Shuiqiu fell silent looking at the photos sent by Ryoko.

　　 As expected...

　　 is exactly the same as the avatar of "Servant of God".

　　 Things in the world are just such a coincidence sometimes.

This afternoon, she had just asked Suzuki Zhuxi to help investigate the identity of this guy. Unexpectedly, it was only a few hours now, and the origin of the other party had surfaced. This unexpected change made Bai Shuiqiusheng a surprise. A feeling of nowhere to be found after breaking through the iron shoes.

but……

　　 Such a photo alone is not enough to prove that Da Chuan is a "servant of the gods", and even if the "servant of the gods" is a member of the White Lotus Sect, it is not 100% sure unless Da Chuan himself acknowledges it.

　　 Inverse Seven-pointed Star...Okawa...White Lotus Sect...A servant of the gods...

　　 This string of keywords flashed through Bai Shuiqiu's mind one by one.

　　 Faintly, there seemed to be an invisible thread that strung these things together, but when she wanted to explore it carefully, she was a little unclear, like an undercurrent surging.

　　 don't know why, Bai Shuiqiu faintly smelled a smell called danger.

　　 "In the past few days, take time to visit Hyuga's house. It's best to check from Okawa...Kurimi police department should be able to help..."

　　 Bai Shuiqiu thought for a moment and made up his mind.

　　 It's too late.

　　 The night scene quadruples.

Looking out from the Tenmoku Shrine, you can only see a dark sky, with no stars and no moons, only the sound of pattering rain, still coming from the window, and a cool breeze blowing from time to time, blowing the hanging outside. The wind chimes quivered slightly.

　　 Although it is midsummer, the temperature in the raining mountains is still slightly cooler.

　　 Bai Shuiqiu tightened the collar of his pajamas and returned to the room.

Chiyo had already cooked the **** soup, and was feeding Hyuga Asuka. Hearing the footsteps, he looked back and said, "Xiao Qiu, it's too late, so go to bed and rest early. You have to wake up and study tomorrow. ."

"Ok……"

　　 Bai Shuiqiu replied, and then he glanced at his bed and the Hyuga Asuka who was wrapped in quilt layers and was being lifted up by Chiyo, sipping **** soup. She herself actually wants to rest earlier, but the question now is...where to sleep

Chapter 243 Let's Go To School Together?

　　 Bai Shuiqiu’s bed in his bedroom is already lying with Hyuga Asuka, and there is no third bedroom in Tenme Shrine apart from her and Chiyo’s bedrooms...

　　唔, there are actually some.

　　 is the cheap father of the predecessor. He used to live in the room when he was still in Narita, but this room has been vacant since the former left Tokyo. In the early years, Chiyo would often clean and tidy up, but now he rarely does so.

　　 After all, the former has already had a new home outside, and maybe he has a second child, and it is impossible to come back to live again.

　　 Therefore, that room has been closed for a long time, and a thick layer of floating dust has long been piled up on the floor.

　　 Chiyo also realized this problem: "Xiao Qiu, will you come to my side to sleep tonight?"

　　 "That...or else I should sleep on the sofa..."

　　 Bai Shuiqiu scratched his head and said hesitantly.

　　 She doesn't have any opinion on her grandma.

　　 But I am really not used to sleeping in the same bed with others.
