"The fragrance of the brightest summer—"

"The fragrance of the brightest summer—"

Fan Ning imitated her and repeated it.

"Ding——" The two of them clinked glasses, and fireworks bloomed outside the floor-to-ceiling window, making the girl's cheeks flash with various colors.

However, after the New Year, the weather in Ufranser rarely has warm sunshine, but mostly light rain or wind and snow.

On a gloomy afternoon of sleet and snow on January 7, Fan Ning raised his head from a nap at his desk and continued to read the mountains of documents, publications and working documents.

Within an hour, he read several doctrinal publications of the Zhengshen Church, including those of the three witnesses of "Unfallen Fire", "Raven" and "Fanghui Poet".

"The Special Inspectorate thinks Vasius might be an 'apostle'?" Fan Ning frowned deeply.

It should be said that "apostle" is not a secret concept and has a similar meaning in the Orthodox Church.

——In these widely circulated readings, it refers to the first batch of disciples who received the missionary mission under the will of the Lord of Witnesses. For example, these people are called "holy ones" or "those who shine in the light" in the Holy Sun Church.

The active years of their deeds were all in the early period of the distribution of the sixty-three archbishops. A small number of "light-dwellers" also served as popes-compared to the actual head of the pope, the "saints" or "saints"

"Light-dweller" seems to be a more transcendent category.

This is common sense in the world.

But the documents Fan Ning read these days were not only church publications, he also read other meanings.

In secret organizations, especially forces organized in the form of "esoteric cults", or in the works written by fatalistic writers, poets, artists and mystics, the meaning of "apostle" has been expanded and turned into a broad sense.

The “sent one” above.

How do the Lords of Witness affect the course of the world? The most common saying is that they control aspects, they represent rules, and they judge history. Then the rise and fall of celestial bodies, the progress and stop of civilization, the quality of years... are all determined by

Their words rule.

This statement is very high-level, but it is too indirect or abstract.

Therefore, esotericists or fatalists believe that there is another more direct way for the Lord of Witnesses to influence the course of the world: the birth and death of a person are determined by the will of the Lord of Witnesses.

The meaning here does not refer to the control of "Chi" on the law of fertility, but to something more special - the life direction of a small number of people is originally determined by the more tendentious will of the Lord of Witnesses.

Such as those founders, military strategists or influential politicians...

An assassin, poison master or intelligence agent who has completed a critical mission...

A certain scientist who played a key theoretical innovation role in the advent of the industrial age...

Some people from all walks of life who are neither high nor well-known, but have made sacrifices for some transcendent ideals...

In other words, "The Lord of Witnesses determines special people, and special people burn themselves to promote special historical events. The events may be large or small, and together they constitute the key process of history." - Senior senior officer of the Special Patrol Office in the middle of the last century.

Investigator Bakker gave a specific explanation of "the Lord of Witness determines the course of the world" in his book "Folklore Investigation Empirology".

This shows that some investigators in the Special Patrol Office also have fatalistic tendencies. Of course, they do not call them "apostles", but think that the people in these cases are "martyrs."

Another example is the taboo book "My Deeds, My Greatness, My Unhealed Wounds" in Fan Ning's hands.

This is a propaganda material of the "Eternal Life Esoteric Cult" that he retrieved from the branch archives of the school and was destroyed nearly 200 years ago. The article records that a key believer believed that he would do "discussions on division, rebirth and amorphous bodies" since he was a child.

"Dark Green Dream", it was "fateful necessity" for him to join the Tantric Cult of Immortality at the age of 20. At the age of 25, he became the "smooth cornerstone" in a ritual ceremony, allowing "the teacher to rise higher", and also "

Fateful necessity".

There is no doubt that the author of the document considered this man to be an "apostle."

The church has a theory of "apostles", and some investigators in the Special Patrol Office believe that there are "martyrs", but the school of thought generally does not think so. They feel that——

"Isn't this a kind of hidden pollution?" Fan Ning shook his head.

In a world where extraordinary power can be demonstrated and effective, he feels that the existence of the "saints" of the Zhengshen Church may be real. For example, after understanding the faith and knowledge of "Unfallen Fire" to the extreme, he can pass through the upper third door.

, may have become a "light-dwelling person", but the expanded concept of "sent person" of the secret organization is obviously tainted by evil gods.

"Why does the Special Patrol Office think that Vasius is an 'apostle'?" This point makes Fan Ning unsure, "They think that Vasius lost contact for a while after performing the mission, but in fact Vasius was

Erased in the town of 'Hidden Light', did they discover that Vasius appeared several times later, that is, there was actually an abnormality in my own actions? Or was it an earlier contamination, such as the one in Vasius' hat?

'Truth scorpion' symbol?…"

Fan Ning gently tapped the pen on the table, carefully trying to figure out what was strange about it.

"Zizzi-zizi-"

The telegraph machine next to me spit out several documents.

It is the financial status copied from Olga in the Administration Department after the tabulation was completed.

As of the last meeting in December, the liquidity in the Turner Hall account was: £382,155.

"Staff salaries and fixed expenses for January (estimated): -34,000;"

"The current available liquidity is 41,746 pounds?" Fan Ning's eyes stayed on the bold number at the bottom.

In the past month, I have really been struggling a lot.

But soon, the four albums covering each concerto will be released.

Fan Ning, who still had sufficient confidence in her financial situation, began to think about her performance arrangements for the new year.

"Zizzi-zizi-"

A few hours later, the telegraph machine spit out paper again.

Fan Ning picked up the book to read, and then stared at the gloomy rain and snow outside the window for a moment.
Chapter completed!
