Chapter 673 The Church(1/2)
"I first met Lena, but it was during the school season. I remember very clearly what a beautiful and gentle lady he was..."
The crystal chandeliers cast dim light. In the cafe, Carter looked at the relief patterns on the walls, his eyes lost their minds, as if he was trapped in some kind of memory.
"At that time, Lena had just lost her husband and was wearing black veil. Well, the dress she was wearing was the latest style in Casper!"
Although Carter looked affectionate, Wu Ming rolled his eyes secretly when he looked at him.
With Carter's appearance and personality, I'm afraid that the love may be a little bigger if you fall in love over time?
"Well, in general, it's the process of a customer falling in love with the waiter..."
Wu Ming raised his chin: "What about?"
"real……"
Carter said in a sad tone: "I have considered marrying her, but Lena refused. She loved her husband deeply and had a hidden secret. I respected her choice and gradually moved away from her. I occasionally introduced her a little business... the normal kind! I waited recently, when I saw the injuries on her body, and I asked her several times without answering her, and then I thought of the idea of following her..."
"Then do you have any information?"
Wu Ming was a little curious.
"She seems to have believed in a secret sect, often going out alone, and giving out big money..."
Carter grabbed his head with both hands: "That must be a cult! If it weren't for its bewitching, how could my Lena leave me?"
"Cult?"
Wu Ming touched his chin.
After the war, it was the widow of the new widow, and it really needed some spiritual comfort, which seemed very likely.
"But before you see it, how can you make a conclusion?"
He shook his head and grabbed Carter: "Do you know where they gather? Take me to see!"
"what you up to?"
Carter suddenly raised his head.
"I'm just a little worried about the safety of the landlord. If something is really wrong, we just need to fulfill our responsibilities as a good citizen!"
Wu Ming blinked.
"You mean...notify the police? No!"
Carter shook his head desperately: "Lina won't agree, I'm still afraid... I'm afraid of her..."
If any crime is committed under the temptation of the cult, it is treated as a handle, and once he is arrested and entered the police station, even Lena cannot escape the legal sanctions.
“Huh?”
Wu Ming looked at Carter in surprise: "Is this really smart when I think of these things?"
In fact, no matter how Carter looks, he is a person who was admitted to Binafou Business University and an absolute elite among ordinary people.
"But do you think if she continues like this, there will be good results?"
Wu Ming grabbed Carter's collar unmoved and lifted him up: "The sooner the cancer is cut off, the better. Any hesitation will only bring in more. Do you, who specialize in finance, still know how to cut your losses and exit the market?"
Carter's whole body shook, his eyes turned red, and he suddenly made up his mind: "Okay! I'll take you there!"
...
As the admirer of Mrs. Lena, who had followed her more than once before, Carter familiarly took Wu Ming outside a small church in the suburbs.
"Lina used to come here to pray. Later, after the original priest left, a guy who claimed to be Pastor Redwin occupied the place and often said some doctrines. Who knew that after gaining the trust of the nearby residents, he would secretly carry out evil god worship activities!"
When Carter said this, he gritted his teeth: "He said that life is something that we have to suffer in this world, and we must obtain pleasure and spiritual peace from pain..."
"It's so clear..."
Wu Ming looked at Carter in surprise: "Then why are you following Lena?"
"I...I just want to protect her. If anything happens, I will definitely rush in!"
Carter clenched his fists.
Wu Ming was speechless. It seemed that the boy had been wandering around this church for no time or twice.
He could imagine Carter watching Lena enter the church and waiting silently, like a stone statue until Lena leaves and retreats.
"This is...youth!"
Wu Ming sighed and looked at the window of the chapel, where orange lights leaked out.
"There will be a ceremony tonight?"
"Redwin only conducts a simple trail during the day. Only when it is late at night will the true core believers be notified to come and hold evil rituals!"
Carter looked gritting his teeth, but Wu Ming blinked his eyes as if he had guessed something.
"Let's go!"
He walked out of the woods and walked towards the church location with a swagger.
"Wait a minute, there are hunting dogs near the church, which will be very dangerous at night!"
Carter was anxious and ran out.
"You mean, these big dogs?"
Immediately, he saw several evil dogs drooling around Wu Ming, with their tails sandwiched, looking pleasing and obedient.
"Go back!"
Wu Ming patted the head of one of the big black-haired dogs. It immediately seemed to understand human words and returned to the kennel with a few companions, without any sound.
"What's going on? Didn't they just listen to Redwin?"
Carter was stunned.
"I have some experience in raising dogs!"
Wu Ming casually came to the side of the church and skillfully flipped through the window.
"Come or not?"
Carter was a little hesitant, but after seeing Wu Ming wave, he still gritted his teeth and stretched out his right hand.
It seems that he is very at ease with the defense of the dogs outside, but the defense in the church is quite relaxed. Even if it is in full swing, he is not Wu Ming's opponent at all.
After walking through a corridor, some vague sounds came to Wu Ming and Carter's ears.
They were already adults and naturally knew what this meant, and Carter couldn't help but blush.
"Oh? Is this a 'cultural ceremony'?"
Wu Ming opened a layer of curtains, and through the window, he could see messy clothes on the floor, whips, screams of men and women, etc., mixed with the abuse, which did have a strange charm.
But he frowned and shook his head slightly: "Did you use medicine? You really don't care!"
"How is it? Did you find Lena?"
He patted Carter on the shoulder.
"No...no!"
Carter's voice was dry, and it was really difficult to find a specific person among the fleshworms.
"She is not here!"
After a moment, Carter confirmed.
"I think, I know where she is?"
Wu Ming pressed his eyebrows, but suddenly opened his eyes: "Come with me!"
The two of them passed the messy hall and came to the entrance of a basement. Carter was surprised to see Wu Ming walking on the slightest and walking down.
Using mental power to scan, nothing in this church could be hidden from Wu Ming.
In the darkness, a faint sound came.
It was a whip, a woman screamed and sobbed, and a curse.
"Bitch, why is this the only thing? Didn't I tell you that I want at least one thousand gold this week!"
A vicious male voice came, with a loud slap in the face.
"It's Mrs. Lena!"
Carter's face tightened and he followed the voice.
There was a room in the basement emitting light, and through the gaps in the door, a scene that made Carter feel indignant.
The originally dignified Mrs. Lena's cheeks were swollen at this time, and she fell pitifully to the ground, her voice softly: "No more... all my income is here..."
"You are breaking the will of God!"
In front of her was a middle-aged man with a grim smile, holding a whip in his hand: "You forgot! When you are in pain and helpless, which god saved you? It is the God of Pain! You swear that you will serve it forever and offer your body and soul to it!"
“My faith in my Lord has never changed!”
Mrs. Lena said kneeling down.
