Chapter 297 Where there are gods, there are demons
Chapter 297 Where there are gods, there are demons
This incident caused quite a stir in Yuren Village. In the end, some villagers even petitioned to have God and Angels establish an orthodox sect.
Naturally, Nagato and Konan knew what happened immediately, so they immediately held an emergency meeting, and all members of the Akatsuki organization were present.
"There is such a thing!" Kakuzu was obviously a little shocked. He actually fought for their respective "gods", which was completely incomprehensible.
Konan handed him a photo: "This is the god of Konoha."
"Uchiha Toru!" Kakuzu recognized the person in the photo at a glance. He can still occasionally dream about that battle. The orange-brown giant with his feet on the ground and his head in the sky seemed to be a god coming to the world.
"It seems you recognized him."
"Although I only watched the opening ceremony, I'm pretty sure it's Toru Uchiha." That was the most embarrassing time for me, and I was actually injured by the aftermath of the battle while escaping.
Qi then took the photo and looked at it silently for a few seconds. The corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitch. This was the scene where he turned on Susanoo and squeezed ten thousand snakes.
It was also the photo that Uzumaki Kushina said was the most requested photo by her fans. She didn't expect that someone would use it to create a religion.
"What do you think?" Tiandao looked at Qi and asked.
"They actually regarded Uchiha Che as a god and founded a religion." Qi was quite speechless, "They are really boring."
"Will this have an impact on our plan?" The religious nation-building plan was proposed by Qi. Although Nagato and Konan understood it, they were not as good as him after all.
"No." Qi shook her head, "Even if Uchiha Tetsu is really a god, Konoha is thousands of miles away from here, and it is impossible to spread his influence here."
"So how should we deal with the villagers' petition?" Xiaonan herself didn't realize it. She was already somewhat dependent on Qi, and she always asked him the first time she encountered any problems.
"Creation is necessary. Later, when we preach to the Kingdom of Rain, we also need a religious name." Qi thought for a while and said.
"Then we agree directly?"
"Emmm..." Qi tapped her fingers twice on the table, "Set a goal for them, a goal that requires everyone to work together and work hard for it."
Xiaonan seemed to understand something: "What do you mean?"
"Based on the number of points they have gained recently, set a goal that they need to strive for..." Qi paused, "about a month."
"Why should we do this?" Kakuzu didn't quite understand. He clearly wanted to create a religion, so why bother setting a goal for them.
"There are many benefits." Qi sorted out her thoughts, "The first and simplest is that it can relieve financial pressure. After all, according to our plan, points can be exchanged for many things."
"Indeed." Kakuzu nodded. As the financial person in charge of the organization, he knew this very well.
"Secondly, giving them this goal also increases their sunk costs."
"Sunk cost?" This is a word I have never heard before.
Qi explained: "It is the cost that has been paid and cannot be recovered, which will greatly affect people's behavior and decision-making."
"They worked hard for a month before God and angels sent gifts and agreed to establish the sect. If one day they regret it, but considering their previous efforts, they may continue to persevere."
"The more they give, the less they want to quit, but if they don't quit, they have to pay more. This will only make them identify more with God and angels, otherwise it will reject their previous efforts."
"That's really..." Kakuzu struggled with his words, but finally said nothing.
Qi's tone did not change at all: "You can also use this to see how pious the villagers in Yuren Village are. The shorter the time, the more sincere they are."
"can."
Tiandao made the decision.
Soon, the good news spread throughout the village.
“Great, God and the angels heard our prayers!”
The first few people to submit the petition knelt on the ground and bowed to the positions of Nagato and Konan from afar.
Immediately afterwards, the people around him knelt down.
After kneeling down, someone asked: "Although God and the angels agreed, is this request too high? There are so many points!"
"How can you question God!" an older man scolded.
"But…"
"Nothing to worry about." His words were interrupted directly. "This is a test given to us to see if we are pious."
"Yes, only if we impress God and angels with our efforts, will they truly bless us."
"Those who want to create a religion for gods and angels should stay. Let's discuss how to collect points in the shortest possible time."
"Take me one!"
"Me too!"
People around me signed up one after another, trying to do their part.
The roof of a tall building not far away.
Kakuzu watched all this and couldn't help but sigh: "These people are really... fanatical."
"Pay more attention to those people." Qi pointed with her finger, "They are all relatively pious and have strong organizational skills. They can be the main force for missionary work in the future."
"Okay, I've made a note of it."
"What's going on in other places in the Kingdom of Rain?" Qi asked, "How long will it take before the next step of the plan can be implemented?"
Kakuzu thought for a moment: "Everyone probably knows that gods and angels exist, but there are still very few people who truly believe in them. It will take some time."
"Too slow!" Qi frowned slightly, "How long can our remaining funds last?"
"At this current rate, about five months?" Kakuzu was also a little unsure. The people in Yu Ninja Village were more enthusiastic than expected.
Qi's face darkened: "The plan must be accelerated."
……
A few days later, the Daimyo of the Land of Rain suddenly sent an envoy to ask for help.
Qi and Xiaonan were in charge of reception.
"A town in the Land of Rain was attacked by demons. The Daimyo hopes that you can go and investigate."
"Devil?" Qi and Xiaonan looked at each other. They had just started to preach "gods and angels", so how come there were corresponding demons in other places?
"They are all dressed in blood-red clothes, with various weapons on their hands. Their bodies can be twisted at any angle, and some can even spray flames."
"Approximately how many... demons are there?" Qi frowned slightly. Her first reaction was that the ninja was fake, and judging from the meaning of this, there were more than one.
"There are demons everywhere you look!"
so much?Unless the five major ninja villages are dispatched, other forces should not have this ability.
But the problem is that the five great ninja villages don’t have the trouble to send out so many ninjas to attack a town in the Land of Rain!
Qi was confused and asked again: "Is there anything missing in the town?"
"Many people's bodies are missing!" The messenger had a look of horror on his face, "Those demons must have eaten them."
"Besides the corpse, what else is missing?" Qi asked, "For example, money, supplies, etc."
"Most of these are still there. It's not clear who did the ones that were taken away."
This answer was really beyond Qi's expectation. If it was really a ninja who did it, generally speaking, they would not let these things go.
"What the daimyo means is that the sooner the investigation is carried out, the better. If you complete the task, you will be rewarded generously!" The envoy wished they could set off now.
"I understand, take me to the town that was attacked first." Then Qi looked at Xiaonan, "You tell Nagato, there are some things to deal with."
"I'll go with you!" Xiaonan was a little worried. During the time when Xiao came to take charge of the Rain Ninja Village, Qi was busy with everything and basically didn't get much rest. She can't forget his tiredness even now. look.
Qi glanced at her in surprise, and after thinking for a moment, she nodded and said, "That's fine, there are some things that have to be dealt with by angels."
There was Nagato in charge of the village, so they didn't need to worry about it. They hurriedly packed their luggage and set off.
Soon the few people arrived at their destination. At this time, the town had been sealed off. After the envoy showed the token, a soldier took them in.
"This is..." Qi frowned. There were traces of washing on the street, and the faint smell of blood could still be smelled in the air.
The soldier was a little sad: "Only dozens of people survived in the entire town, and the others were killed."
"Take me to see the body."
"Yes!" The soldiers took the order and took them to the square in the center of the town, where corpses were densely piled up.
Xiaonan felt a little uncomfortable after just one glance, and subconsciously leaned closer to Qi.
"Devil, it must be a devil!" A look of panic flashed across the messenger's face.
Qi ignored him and walked to the corpse to take a closer look. The fatal wound on the corpse was the wound on the chest.
Putting his fingers on both sides of the wound and applying slight pressure, the wound was "perfectly" closed together. Qi nodded slightly. It seemed that the weapon used by the murderer was very sharp.
"You guys stand back a little." The chakra in Qi's body began to flow faster, and the fingers of her right hand came together, and a small wind blade was instantly formed.
Then he lightly scratched the body, intending to see what was inside.
After looking at several corpses in a row, Qi stopped.
"How?" Xiaonan came over immediately.
Qi pointed at the first corpse and said: "The murderer's physical skills are average. When he swung the knife, he cut his ribs, but the murderer's strength was great and the weapon was sharp. The cuts on the ribs and the wound were smooth."
"So it wasn't the devil who did it?" The messenger wanted to come over after hearing this, but the smell of blood deterred him.
"Not necessarily." Qi pointed to another corpse and said, "His wounds are very strange. It looks like a sudden attack by the murderer lying on the ground, and the murderer seems to have a sharp weapon growing out of his mouth."
The messenger hurriedly took a few steps back and said in a panicked tone: "Isn't that still a demon?"
"Don't worry, whether you are a devil or not, it is not worth mentioning in front of angels."
Xiao Nan was stunned for a moment, and then continued Qi's words: "I will drive away all evil spirits and spread the light of gods and angels to the entire land."
"Really?" The messenger didn't believe that Xiaonan was an angel. After all, the guy named "Qi" seemed much more reliable.
"We are experts in dealing with demons." Qi said, "The power of gods and angels will purify everything."
"Okay, but it's getting late. Why don't we take a rest outside first?" The messenger glanced at the time, hoping to leave this ghost place before dark.
"You go and have a rest first. Let's take a look here again. Maybe we can find some clues."
"Okay, please excuse me." The messenger answered immediately, turned around and walked out of the town. He only stood here for a while, and his legs were a little weak.
After they were far away, Xiaonan asked in a low voice: "Did you find anything?"
"It really doesn't feel like it was done by a human being." Qi retracted her gaze and walked to the side room, "Many of the wounds are very strange."
"Is there really a demon?" Xiaonan followed, and everything around her made her feel a little uncomfortable.
"Over there." Qi saw something inadvertently, chakra exploded slightly under her feet, and she ran over quickly.
Xiaonan subconsciously prepared for the battle, deliberately falling a few steps behind to assist him.
"Look at this wall." Qi stopped in front of a damaged house and pointed to the big hole in the wall.
After finding out that there was no need to fight, Xiao Nan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then turned his attention to the wall, looking at the big hole in the center, and looked at Qi with a blank look on his face: "What's wrong?"
"The murderer crashed directly in parallel from the air." Qi pointed to the edge of the hole and said.
"So the murderer's body is very hard?"
"Not only that, he should have been flying at this height before the impact." Qi frowned, "In the ninja world, ninjas who can fly are extremely rare, and there are even fewer who can fly and have strong bodies."
"Is there really a demon?" Xiao Nan is very accepting of these gods and ghosts.
"I don't know, but I won't believe it until I actually see the devil." Qi glanced into the house. Blood was spread all over the ground. The owner of the house was most likely killed.
I looked around the surrounding rooms and found no other useful clues.
The sky gradually darkened, and light rain began to fall in the sky.
The soldiers also withdrew from the town, leaving only two living people, Qi and Xiaonan, and a square of corpses in the huge place.
A gust of cool wind blew by, and Xiaonan shivered unconsciously. If it weren't for Qi's presence, she really wouldn't want to stay here for a second.
"Let's go too!" Qi knew that Xiaonan was forcing herself.
"ended?"
"The murderer should have gotten what he wanted, and he did it cleanly. There is nothing to see here."
"Then...are we still doing this mission?" Xiaonan asked.
"Of course we have to do it. It's just a chance to show off the miracle. We have to speed up the progress of the plan."
Xiaonan hesitated: "But we didn't find any useful clues."
"It doesn't matter, we will stay here for a few more days. If the murderer appears, just catch him." Qi comforted.
"But what if the murderer doesn't show up?"
"Then it's up to you to perform a miracle and tell them that the devil has been purified and driven away by the angels."
"Huh?" Xiao Nan was a little stunned, "What if the murderer appears again later?"
"There are endless demons to kill. If they appear again, someone has opened the door to hell, and demons will come out every once in a while."
"This…"
"Don't worry, we have the final say in these matters." Qi said with relief, "And the more times the murderer takes action, the more flaws will be exposed."
