Forty-four Have I seen you before?
Why do good people suffer? Xie Jingchen has no way to answer this question.
Modern religions such as Taoism, Buddhism, or Western Christianity have a large part of their teachings that advise people to do good.
Buddhism and Taoism both have "the theory of merit". Taoism's merit is "good deeds are merit, and kindness is virtue." The unity of mind and action is merit. Buddhism's merit is more utilitarian and does not require a kind heart.
As long as you do good deeds, you can accumulate merit and accumulate blessings for the next life.
Good will be rewarded with good and evil will be rewarded with evil. These "retributions" are all things in the next life.
Christianity is more intuitive. Good people can go to heaven, and evil people go to hell. This kind of retribution happens after death. And as long as you confess to the priest, you can be forgiven by God.
There are many people who believe in Christianity in the world, far more than other major religions, but An Ruqiao doesn't like Christianity very much.
It's not about religious discrimination or anything, it's mainly because An Ruqiao doesn't like God.
Similarly, An Ruqiao doesn't like gods or Buddhas.
Maybe it's because no god has ever come to save her, or maybe it's because the prophet always calls himself "God's spokesperson."
At this time, Xie Jingchen thought of a case he had seen. A new type of trafficking method appeared in big cities outside. Traffickers used vulnerable groups such as injured elderly people and lost children as bait to lure the trafficked people to the bait. The kinder the person, the more likely they are.
The more vulnerable you are to being harmed by this new type of trafficking.
This kind of crime that takes advantage of people's good intentions, as well as blackmail and the like, has an extremely bad impact on the social atmosphere.
Just as Xie Jingchen was thinking, An Ruqiao's voice came from in front of him in the silence, like a whisper.
"In the presence of these good people who were suffering, a prophet appeared.
The prophet told them that he was the spokesman of the only true God who created the world.
He said that the true God did not create the world for people to suffer. He said that the so-called suffering in other religions is a false god theory and a misunderstanding of the will of the true God.
Then, in the rl organization, the prophet promised that everyone does not need to restrain themselves or suppress themselves, and can freely release their desires to get everything they want.
In the process of pursuing happiness and releasing desires, if you do anything that hurts others, all the sins will be borne by the prophet on their behalf.
I will never go to hell, there will be no retribution, I will no longer have to be patient and restrained, I will no longer have to wrong myself for the sake of others, I will no longer require them to be good people, and I will no longer have to endure oppression from the outside world.
Even the sins were borne by the prophet, so they had no worries at all.
Under this situation, the vast majority of the bottom members of RL voluntarily support the prophet and have a sense of belonging to RL like a family. Coupled with regular brainwashing and certain drug control, their devotion to the prophet can rival those of madmen.
Believers.
In their eyes, the prophet is the God who saves them from suffering."
Xie Jingchen listened quietly and noticed that An Ruqiao always used "them" in his words. What does this "successor of the prophet" think of that prophet and the RL organization?
He also held An Ruqiao's hand and put it over his heart. An Ruqiao's palm was not soft, and there were calluses in many places, which were marks from daily work.
"What about you?" he asked.
"Me?" An Ruqiao asked back, and two chuckles escaped from her throat.
She felt the calluses on her fingertips being rubbed by him. It was a little itchy, but she didn't hide away.
"To me, the prophet is just a liar. I am not the 'next prophet', I am just his most satisfying experiment."
Experimental items.
Yes, rl will conduct drug control on its members, so the drugs must have been tested before being put into use.
Drugs, Fang Ling, Su Ye, Professor Pei Chengjing, K City Pharmaceutical University.
Everything is connected together.
Xie Jingchen was thinking about it, but he was caught off guard and was pushed by An Ruqiao. The push was not hard, but An Ruqiao's hand was taken away from his, and his thoughts were interrupted at the same time.
"Isn't it borrowed?" An Ruqiao stood up and took the quilt away. The quilt was soaked with sweat from her. She wanted to call the customer service of the B&B to replace it tomorrow. It couldn't be used tonight.
Looking at the time, it was after four o'clock. An Ruqiao used the faint light of her mobile phone to increase the temperature of the central air conditioner.
"Go to bed quickly, otherwise you won't be able to get up to handle the case tomorrow. I'm going to take a shower. Do you want to take a shower first? Or... together?"
Xie Jingchen, who was empty in his arms, suddenly heard the words "Together?" and his heart beat like a drum. He froze and was a little at a loss. Just when he was thinking about how to answer, he heard An Ruqiao laugh again.
"Just kidding, thank you today."
An Ruqiao turned on the bathroom light, and the light illuminated her figure. She was a little haggard, but her figure was still tall and tall.
Tall and slender, when he turned to look at him, that smile almost took away his soul.
"I won't lock the door, you... don't peek~" An Ruqiao's voice had some waves at the end, and then she closed the bathroom door.
Don't peek~
Xie Jingchen felt that his whole body was getting hot. Suddenly he remembered the camera he had installed in An Ruqiao's house before. He gritted his teeth at himself at that time and thought that he would find an opportunity to secretly remove it.
But thinking about it again...I can't bear to part with it.
After An Ruqiao closed the door, she hid her smile.
She made this man see how embarrassed he was. The key was that when she was unconscious, she still trusted this man...
Something is not quite right.
But An Ruqiao didn't think too much. Fang Ling must have wanted to control her when she drugged her. It seemed that Fang Ling and the commander behind Fang Ling didn't know her special nature.
She has a certain resistance to those hallucinogenic drugs. Although she will be very painful when the drugs take effect, there are basically no sequelae and it is difficult to become addicted.
It is almost impossible to control her through the drugs that rl has experimented on.
An Ruqiao also relied on her own specialness to use herself as bait again. What Fang Ling and the people behind her want to do will be known tomorrow.
After cleaning herself, An Ruqiao went out of the bathroom, called Xie Jingchen to wash up, and then she lay down on the sofa again.
Xie Jingchen got out of bed in a panic. He only glanced at An Ruqiao when he passed by, and then he didn't dare to look again and controlled his gaze to the other side.
Walking to the bathroom without squinting, Xie Jingchen's mind was filled with the legs he had just seen at a glance...
After entering the bathroom, Xie Jingchen closed the door and was overwhelmed by the fragrance in the bathroom...
It's over.
"You're so disappointing, Xie Jingchen!" Xie Jingchen patted his forehead, splashed cold water on his face, and finally calmed down.
When he got out of the bathroom, he took a special look at An Ruqiao.
An Ruqiao seemed to be asleep.
Somehow, Xie Jingchen breathed a sigh of relief.
Just as he was about to climb onto the bed, he was startled by An Ruqiao's voice.
"Xie Jingchen."
"...Hmm. What's wrong?"
"I know you are approaching me just to investigate."
"...Hmm." Xie Jingchen was suddenly very nervous, his palms were sweaty, he wanted to refute but didn't know what to say.
An Ruqiao sighed. This man couldn't stand teasing, nor could he stand deceit.
"...Forget it, I don't blame you. I can help you check the RL, just as a thank you. But...I want to ask you...have I...met you before?"
