I’m a Witch In Dongying

"tomorrow……"

　　 Bai Shuiqiu thought for a while: "There should be no problem. I'll just talk to the archery club at that time, but this kind of rehearsal shouldn't be very frequent, right?"

"In theory, there will be three to four times. Tomorrow will be the first. But for Xiaoqiu, you don’t need to participate every time. As long as you finalize the overall process during the first rehearsal, you can do it later. Be lazy, as long as you remember to come over for the last time."

"That's good."

　　 Bai Shuiqiu breathed a sigh of relief.

During this period of time, there were quite a lot of things about her. Just talk about the school side, there are cultural festival programs of the archery club and the class to prepare, and things on the shrine side can’t be left behind, plus inquiries about the general situation of the white lotus sect. , Time is not very abundant.

　　 Even if he could take care of his energy, Bai Shuiqiu didn't want to make himself so busy, participating in rehearsals... How could he feel comfortable in fishing.

　　Hinaga Asuka sat next to him, silently listening to the conversation between the two, without saying a word.

　　 However, this girl is also a member of Class B of the first year. Naturally, she can't escape the class exhibition, and the role she was assigned to is the cashier of the cafe.

　　 This job is very easy.

　　 You don’t even need to rehearse, as long as you practice counting in advance.

By the way, there are really a lot of children in Japan. They can't even calculate the addition and subtraction within three digits. They need to press the calculator... The main reason for this result is the so-called "happy education", because There is no pressure, so I don’t need my brain at all. This kind of person is especially common in public schools.

　　 Fortunately, Asuka Hyuga has always studied hard, and his math scores have always been good. It is naturally no problem to assume this kind of position.

　　 In one conversation after another, several people came to the school.

　　 A day course slowly passed by.

　　 When eating at noon, Bai Shuiqiu took a moment to glance at his mailbox, mainly to confirm the information that Suzuki Zhuxi sent last night.

According to Suzuki Zhuxi, these materials are actually only Kanako’s life history so far, and the content is not too much, but the amount of information is still very large, ranging from elementary school, junior high school, and high school status to parents' work. Occupation, changing jobs several times, moving home several times, and having been sick several times are all listed one by one.

　　 One of the more noteworthy is that when Kanako's father died in a car accident in the fifth grade of elementary school.

　　 Bai Shuiqiu heard this from Kanako once.

　　 In addition, the girl's mother remarried once two years later. The latter husband was an employee of a cannery, but the two had not had any children, so Kanako is currently the only daughter of the reorganized family.

　　 From this point of view, the experience of this girl is quite bumpy...

　　Bai Shuiqiu probably looked through it and found that there was nothing wrong with it. He was ready to discuss it with his grandmother when he returned home. If nothing else, he could be ready to sign a part-time job authorization.

　　……

　　 A daytime course passed in a blink of an eye.

　　 After school that afternoon.

　　 Bai Shuiqiu ended the riding and shooting training in the equestrian field half an hour earlier, said hello to the old monster, and left the school early, and took the tram to the Hyuga fish store in Shimocho.

　　 The door of the fish shop is closed tightly.

　　As the owner of the shop, the couple, Hyuga, are now in the hospital, but one is going to get an injury and undergoing an investigation, and the other is treating a stomach disease that Okawa described as "evil in the body", so naturally there is no one in this store. A few customers who wanted to buy fish went here, went around to the window and looked around, then mumbled and turned back.

　　 But at the entrance of the alley next to him, Bai Shuiqiu noticed that there was a policeman in casual clothes who was watching here. It is estimated that Li Jiancheng had also arranged to stay, and his face was a bit familiar.

　　 Bai Shuiqiu originally intended to bypass this guy and sneak in from behind the fish shop, but the other party saw her in advance and was slightly startled, "Well, you are Miss Baishui from Tenmu Shrine, right?"

　　 "Huh? Do you know me?" Bai Shuiqiu was startled.

　　 "You may have forgotten that we met once when we dealt with the Painted Skin incident in Yutian District last time."

　　 "Oh... I seem to remember you, it's Daegu, right?"

Bai Shuiqiu still has an impression of this name. After all, it sounds quite distinctive. If I remember correctly, this guy was hit and flew out by Painted Skin at the time. Fortunately, she was resisted by the guards given in advance to save it. A fate is regarded as a life-saving grace indirectly.

　　 "Ahem, that, I am Liangshu, Dagu is my colleague." Liangshu coughed and corrected.

　　"……

Chapter 245

　　 Bai Shuiqiu opened his mouth, his expression a little awkward.

　　 But this is not a big deal.

　　 After all, the two had only seen one or two faces, and in the critical situation of Painted Skin at the time, it was normal not to remember the face, and Liang Shu himself didn't care.

　　 Since I know someone, the next thing will be easier.

　　 Bai Shuiqiu tapped a few words sideways, and quickly asked what happened yesterday from Liang Shu's mouth.

　　Mr. Okawa and Hyuga and his son have now been sent to a hospital near the Narita Police Station, where they are receiving treatment and questioning. Among them, the injuries of the father and son Hyuga are not serious. Even the more serious Hyuga Moriji has only some skin injuries. It is expected that they will be cured and discharged within two days.

　　 But the investigation will continue.

　　 If the crime of "domestic violence" is proven, both Hyuga and his son will be subject to severe criminal penalties, even if they are in it for a few years.

　　 As for Mr. Okawa...

This guy was kicked by Bai Shuiqiu on the spot and broke a few ribs. The meniscus on his knees was also badly damaged. Now he has been put in a plaster and is lying in a hospital bed wrapped in a mummy for at least ten and a half months. I want to get off the bed.

"In addition, because this guy is a cult member, he has a number of charges of deceiving others’ property, inciting others to use domestic violence, and conspiring against underage girls. He is currently the focus of attention of the police. We are collecting relevant evidence and preparing to deal with He filed a prosecution..."

　　 Liang Shu said that, he hesitated:

　　 "In fact, we have noticed this cult named'White Lotus Sect' for a long time...

This sect was very rampant in Ibaraki Prefecture more than ten years ago, and it caused several vicious incidents involving personal casualties. One of them caused the death of a newlywed couple, and was hit by Ibaraki Prefecture because of this incident. Strong suppression by the police.

　　 After that, they changed their previous rampant behavior and became very low-key. But secretly, it keeps extending its tentacles to other cities, and it has developed rapidly in the past ten years.

　　Only in Narita City, there are no less than two or three hundred newly emerged believers of the White Lotus Sect. This is only the number calculated by the police, and the actual number may be even higher.

Because these people have never done anything that violates the red line, but have existed and acted as "legal religious organizations", we have no way to interfere with them. Even if relevant warnings are issued to the people, it is still unavoidable. Someone was deceived by them.

The Hyuga incident this time was a rare breakthrough. The team leader plans to use this opportunity to conduct a comprehensive investigation of the cult. Even if it does not affect their overall structure, they must at least suppress them to a certain extent. arrogance……"

　　 This kind of news is actually a decision made by the police. It stands to reason that it should not be mentioned to outsiders.

　　 But considering that Bai Shuiqiu's identity is special and he has close cooperation with the police, Liangshu didn't hide much.

　　 "Then, is there any result of the investigation now?"

　　 Bai Shuiqiu took the opportunity to ask.

Liang Shu shook his head: "No, the guy named Dachuan has a hard mouth. First, he said that his injuries were too serious and he wanted to lie down and rested and refused to communicate with us... This is actually true. With that guy's injury, half It is fast to get out of bed within a month.

　　 Later, he said that he would have to wait for the lawyer to come to answer our questions. The team leader has cross-examined several times, but so far, they have not got any useful clues. "

"Oh."

　　 Bai Shuiqiu nodded.

　　 The police need to pay attention to the process of handling a case. You can do things like torture to extract a confession in private, but it's hard to say on the surface, especially in public places like hospitals. When encountering Dachuan's type of oil and salt that does not enter, it will be a headache, and it can only take time to wear it slowly.

　　 But in Bai Shuiqiu's opinion...

　　 "Sure enough, I still haven't learned enough..."

　　Stubborn mouth or something, to put it bluntly, it means that you have not been beaten enough.

　　 Bai Shuiqiu intends to meet this guy in person after the business is finished.

　　 Suppressing cults or something is something the police need to care about. It has nothing to do with her. Bai Shuiqiu does not have such a lofty sense of social responsibility, but it is her concern to confirm whether Dachuan is a "servant of the gods".

　　 And before that...

　　 "This aquatic product shop should be able to enter, right? It won't damage the scene or something, right?"

　　 Bai Shuiqiu confirmed to Liangshu.

After getting an affirmative answer, he took out the key given by Hyuga Asuka from his pocket and opened the door of the fish shop. After entering, he went straight through the living room and came to the bedroom at the innermost side, where the couple usually live. s room.

　　 squeak —

　　 Accompanied by a tooth-wrenching sound of the pivot of the door, a slightly dim room appeared in front of Bai Shuiqiu.

　　 "It's really messy..."

　　 In fact, the various furniture in the bedroom are arranged neatly, but the fancy posters on the walls are very ruining.

On a low cabinet on the right hand side of the bedroom door, Bai Shuiqiu also saw a few brochures, which were beautifully made. If you only look at the exterior, you might even mistake it for a publication issued by a regular publishing house, but inside I can’t agree with the specific content...

　　 Bai Shuiqiu pulled out a copy and turned to a certain page.

I saw some words in the clouds and mists, what white lotus saint is the reincarnation of the Buddha, has insight into the secrets of the world, can talk to some ancient heroic spirits, or psychic people who are still alive, and get some key information from them. .

　　 also holds the magnificent divine power, which can bless the believers.

　　 This kind of "blessing" is nowhere higher than the "Holy Water" used by Mr. Okawa.

　　 Of course, there is a charge, 200,000 yuan per touch.

　　 And it's not something you can touch if you want to be touched.

　　Only believers who have enough "pious" beliefs and have participated in more than seven gatherings are eligible to be received by the Great Sage.

　　 The pamphlet listed a believer who had been paraplegic for three months and was ill in bed. Then he was "touched" by the great sage Bailian once. He immediately sat up from the bed and became alive and kicking. There are a lot of examples of this kind in the back pages, with photos and illustrations next to them, which is really interesting.

　　 Bai Shuiqiu originally just flipped through a few pages, but it turned out to be like a joke book.

　　 "Puff haha..."

　　 "High paraplegia for three months, it's okay to get out of bed with a touch of your head..."

　　 smirked at the booklet for a while, before Bai Shuiqiu raised his head, glanced at the dozens of similar cult books stacked on the cabinet, and sighed.

Chapter 246

　　 Sure enough, there are still too many fools in this world, and there are not enough liars.

　　 Even the outrageous words "touching the head can cure the disease", some people would believe that Bai Shuiqiu really didn't know what to say.

Knowing that these methods of cults are so good for making money, she should have learned a few skills before, and figured out how to help her shrine publish books, make shows, and then get the title of "Tianmu Great Sage". It is estimated that one year of cheating Tens of millions are no problem.

　　 This is not a joke...

The amount of wealth that these genuine cults squeeze from believers every year is almost in the billions to tens of billions, and most of them are gray incomes that do not need to be taxed. They are accumulated year after year. The amount of wealth is unimaginable for ordinary people, and almost all of them are comparable to some small consortia.

　　 "White Lotus Sect..."

　　 "I hope these guys can be honest, don't do anything stupid..."

　　 Bai Shuiqiu thought so in his heart, and put the brochure back on the cabinet.

　　 Then, he looked up at the walls on both sides of the bedroom.

As Ryoko said before, these posters are indeed drawn with a black reverse seven-pointed star pattern. In the middle of the seven-pointed star is a budding white lotus, framed by the surrounding lines, it looks so A faint smell. The whole pattern feels a bit strange.

　　 "Do these patterns... have any special meaning?"

　　The name of the cult is "White Lotus". Is the black seven-pointed star around it to show that this lotus is of noble character, even if it is surrounded by a hell, it still "is out of the silt and not stained"?

　　 Hmm...There are indeed many religions that compare the human world to "purgatory" and spread the thought that all living beings are suffering. The Bailian Sect is known as a branch of Buddhism. It is not strange to borrow this kind of thought.

　　 Of course, there is another possibility...

　　 is to design such a black and white pattern, the purpose is purely to increase the force and make the logo look more bluffing. This is also in line with the common Japanese second disease thinking...

but……

　　 In such an environment, do you really feel depressed?

Bai Shuiqiu just stood in the bedroom for a while, and felt very uncomfortable, as if he was being stared at by one eye. These black seven-pointed stars are like "eye sockets", and the one in the middle Bai Lian was the "pupil", even if she knew it was just a psychological effect, she still took a step back, subconsciously showing a warning sign in her heart.

　　 But for the believers of the White Lotus Sect, it has the function of hinting in the heart, and the feeling may be different. Maybe they stay in this environment and feel more comfortable.

　　 "Forget it, let's find time to study..."

　　 Bai Shuiqiu took down one of the posters, folded it and held it in his hand, preparing to take it back to study it.

　　 Maybe I can send it to Suzuki Zhuxi to see if I can get some relevant information from this witch.

　　 But it's just "maybe"...

　　Because cults also use the guise of "gods" and "monsters," but they are not the same thing as spiritual things.

Unless the so-called "Great White Lotus" can really channel out those messy heroic spirits, or collude with monsters and evil cultivators, no matter how noisy it is, it is a religion that defrauds ordinary people to obtain wealth and status. This kind of organization can't enter the attention of the countermeasure team.

　　 Next, Bai Shuiqiu walked to Hyuga Asuka's bedroom, packed up the girl's clothes and textbooks, etc., and stuffed them into his schoolbag.

　　 This is another purpose of her coming here today.
