Hao Ren once dealt with a group of cultists in Dragonspine Ridge. At that time, he had seen their scriptures, but at that time, he did not know the complete structure of the Cult of Origination. He thought that the black book was their original Bible. Now it seemed that the organizational form of the Cult of Origination was very different from normal religious organizations. The cult that was destroyed in Dragonspine Ridge that day was just one of its peripheral cults, and the scriptures he got at that time were obviously not the original Bible used by the core members of the cultists. According to Ophra, there were many things in the Codex that were unique to this world.
Hao Ren opened the black booklet. Just by placing it on the table, it exuded an unpleasant atmosphere, as if some kind of evil and paranoid obsession was still attached to the soft leather pages. The black booklet was not printed, but handwritten. The edges of the text had a strange sense of trembling, as if the writer had copied these crazy characters in an extremely excited and uncontrollable state of mind. Hao Ren concentrated on resisting the tiredness brought by the pages of the book. Under Ophra's guidance, he found some passages that had been marked.
"... The Voice of the Master asked us to sing the true name of the Goddess, but this true name cannot be spoken in human language. Only devout believers can recite this name in their hearts... We offer the original pure flesh and blood in order to get closer to the sacred original form. Only in this way can we wash away our sins...
"... The Voice of the Master came to the prophet and told the prophet with the voice of the soul that the Disciples of Glory were guilty. They stole the blood of the Goddess and prolonged their sinful lives. You have to go to the mountain in the west and break a branch and carve it into a staff. It is the weapon and symbol that the Goddess gave to her children. Then the judgment of the Disciples of Glory will come. On the day when Manoura, the Bane Star, shines again, the judgment will come...
"... The mountain people who offered their flesh and blood walked barefoot beside the Voice of the Master, and their wounds healed again. They became clean, because they used part of their flesh and blood to wash away the sins of their whole body. The Voice of the Ruler told the prophet that he was acting on behalf of the goddess, so the prophet ordered the mountain people to salute the holy image of the goddess instead of the Voice of the Ruler. This is how it should be … "
The words on the strange book kept shaking. Hao Ren started to feel dizzy after reading a few paragraphs. He rubbed the space between his brows. "How did the pagans manage to read this thing in one go? This thing has its own vibration screen. "
"These blasphemous books have the power to damage one's spirit." Big Beardy also stuck his head out to take a look at the book, then immediately frowned and retreated. "The more pious the thoughts of the Goddess are, the more they will be attacked. Probably only a heretic who has completely deviated from the teachings of the Goddess can read it. "
"Speaking of which, those cultists also say that they worship the Goddess, but the Goddess they believe in is not the same as what you have publicized." Hao Ren closed the damn book. "What's the deal with the Voice of Master?"
Lily's ears twitched. "It sounds like a radio station!"
Hao Ren coughed twice. "Ahem … It's definitely not the same as the Voice of Campus."
"This is the difference between the 'Original Codex' and the outer scriptures that are circulating outside." Ophra didn't understand what the Voice of Campus was. She just answered Hao Ren's question. "There is an unknown 'Voice of Master' in the 'Original Codex'. According to the information currently available, the Cult of Origination began to develop after receiving some inspiration from this existence known as the 'Voice of Master'. All their actions, including doctrinal compilation and flesh and blood rituals, are inspired by the Voice of Master. But when facing the outer church, they concealed the existence of the Voice of Master and pretended that they were under the full authority of the Goddess's personal decree. "
Hao Ren frowned. "Why hide this?"
"Maybe it's also the decree of the Voice of Master because it doesn't want its existence to be known by too many people." Ophra shook her head. "We didn't find these things until recently. It's not clear whether the Voice of Master is a human or a monster. We can only roughly infer that 'it' should be a role similar to the Oracle. The Cult of Origination regards it as the incarnation and mouthpiece of the Goddess. And many of their magical abilities are also obtained from the Voice of Master. "
When Hao Ren heard the word "Oracle", he shuddered, thinking that he seemed to be doing the same thing. Then he suddenly remembered the giant brain he had encountered in the cave of Dragonspine Ridge.
"Could the 'Voice of Master' refer to the giant brain?" Lily also thought the same as Hao Ren. "It seems that that thing is also called the 'Oracle' by the cultists."
Hao Ren recalled the situation at that time, and various speculations came to his mind. "At that time, what the cultists in Dragonspine Ridge summoned was not the giant brain's real body. According to Y 'zaks, it was called a descending summon … Could it be that the higher-ups of the Cult of Origination have the ability to summon a real' brain monster '?"
"They don't need to summon their real body," Vivian suddenly interjected. "That brain monster should have a very strong mental ability, and can even project its mind across the universe to other planets. So it only needs to project its figure into the brain of some Hollettan people, and then it can 'appear' on this planet out of thin air. I think there should be such a strong person in that brain monster. "
Hao Ren shook his head gently. "No, I'm more inclined to think that the higher-ups of the Cult of Origination have summoned the giant brain's real body, or that there is a giant brain that came to this world by accident. Do you remember the scroll that the assassin used to assassinate the pope at the banquet today? The MDT and I analyzed its composition. That thing is not a product of this planet. If I'm not wrong … there is a brain monster hiding on this planet. "
Ophra's expression instantly turned serious. "This information is extremely important. I will report it to the king and the pope immediately."
"Well," Hao Ren nodded. "We can't stay here to help you with this, so we can only wish you all the best. According to my speculation, the activity of the giant brain will interfere with the mental state of ordinary people, so there should be mass insomnia, nightmares, and madness near its hiding place. And the core of the Cult of Origination are also mortals. They can't live completely away from the crowd. They must have left traces when they are with the giant brain. You can start with this clue. "
Ophra nodded slightly. Big Beardy next to her stepped forward and looked at Hao Ren. "I'm going to stay to help the church deal with this matter. The matter of the cultists is unusual. As a subject of the goddess, I can't just sit back and watch. "
Hao Ren scratched his head. "Do we need to inform the other three who are running around the world?"
Only one of the four ascetics stayed with Hao Ren now. The other three had gone around the world. Some went hunting on the African savannah, some went to Antarctica to dig ice, and some went to India to challenge the limits of survival. Hao Ren did not know where to find these people.
Big Beardy shook his head. "No need. It's troublesome to find them. The four of us are of one mind. I'll do my job here. "
He was quite reasonable. He also knew that the extent of the three running around was a bit exaggerated …
Hao Ren rummaged through the dossiers in the small box. What he wanted more was information on how to summon the gigantic brain, but it was not in the dossiers. He asked about this, but Ophra could only shake her head. "Summoning the monster you mentioned seems to be a top secret of the Cult of Origination. Only their 'bishop' level figures know how to do it, and there is no written information circulated. It should be oral. In the process of arrest, all the bishop level cultists committed suicide. Even if they were caught alive, they would die for inexplicable reasons before the interrogation. This cult must have some way to control life to prevent members from rebelling. This is by far the biggest problem. "
Hao Ren frowned. If he could not catch the giant brain, then his investigation of these cultists would be meaningless. After all, what he wanted to know was the secret of the goddess of creation. He could not intervene in the sectarian war on planet Holletta even if he wanted to. If he insisted on intervening, it would be easy to violate the employee code of conduct and ask Raven to give him a blessing …
But he also knew that some things could not be rushed, so he could only nod. "That's it then. At least with these things … it's not a total loss. Let's go back and see if Y 'zaks is done with the interrogation. "
