Hunting High School

"...When Jesus sat at the long table with his twelve disciples, he already knew that there was something wrong with someone. He knew it was Judas. But he still sat with him, divided the bread and poured the wine .”

"This is not kindness, generosity, or compassion."

"This is faith... Believe that fate will make a just judgment. Believe that sacrifice will wash away sin. Believers in him can be evil besides good people..."

In the early morning by the Linzhong Lake, an Atlas student in a yellow robe was holding a Bible and preaching loudly on the shore, proclaiming the glory of the Lord to the murlocs.

The passing red robes all looked at him with weird eyes.

Zheng Qing is also one of them. He was worried that the yellow robed man would be stoned to death by the violent murlocs in the lake. Because a few pairs of dark yellow, fierce eyes have emerged on the surface of the lake.

But Xiao Xiao told him not to worry so much.

"Most murlocs don't think about such profound words," Xiao Xiao flipped through the school newspaper in his hand, and explained casually: "Jesus, kindness, compassion, sin, faith... I doubt that a few murlocs can understand the above. the meaning of a few words."

"The murlocs have sacrifices, and they also have beliefs." Zheng Qing disagreed with the doctor's point of view.

"That's not belief, it's just worship. Ancient totem worship." Xiao Xiao had two minds, while reading the newspaper articles, he still had the energy to have a somewhat difficult conversation with Zheng Qing: "True belief is divided into two parts. There are two types, one internal, which is the firmness of self-awareness; the other external, which relies on the firmness of others. The worship of the murlocs is not firm and can be easily shaken. Therefore, their sacrifices cannot be called true beliefs. "

"Relying on the firmness of others?" Zheng Qing repeated Xiao Xiao's words, raised his head, glanced at the sky, and a thought suddenly popped up in his mind: "If there is no faith, then is there no way for the Outer Gods to descend?"

Xiao Xiao's gaze finally moved away from the newspaper.

"It can be understood in that way." Through his smooth glasses, he seemed to see through what Zheng Qing was thinking: "The essence of external belief is 'coordinates'. Gods use coordinates to stabilize their own existence; believers use coordinates to anchor The spirit of owning... The real gods are high-dimensional existences that transcend time and space, and reality cannot bear their coming. They are unknowable and unpredictable. Only by relying on the guidance of faith can they cast their shadows in this world and manifest their own existence. "

"Sounds like trouble."

"Why do you think those high-dimensional beings cast their projections down on low-dimensional beings?"

"Maybe they need the power of faith?" Zheng Qing guessed.

"Those who regard faith as merit will eventually be poisoned to death by faith. Now there is no such stupid god." Xiao Xiao sneered: "Their projections are divided into two situations, one is pure pity, like The pity of the rich for the poor; the other is interest... They regard everything that happens in the low-dimensional world as their own spiritual food-for example, do we have a sense of substitution when we read comics and novels? That is actually An act of projection. The projection of a three-dimensional world onto a two-dimensional world."

Zheng Qing shrugged.

"When you put it that way, it seems that we are very powerful." He thought of Mr. Ah Q inexplicably.

"That's the truth." Xiao Xiao adjusted his glasses: "Mr. Carl Strauss once said, 'The most interesting life is not a high-dimensional being who transcends everything, but an invincible existence in a low dimension. Even High-dimensional beings destroy low-dimensional worlds, and they can also roll and fall into other low-dimensional worlds'..."

Carl Strauss is the author of the book "Philosophy of Magic", and since it is the only textbook written by a non-teaching professor, Zheng Qing was impressed by his name.

But he didn't know what Xiao Xiao said just now.

This is normal.

Xiao Xiao concluded: "...So, just like when we find a cockroach in our home, it means that there are dozens or even dozens, hundreds of them hiding in places you can't see, when we realize that there are cockroaches The coming of the gods to this world means that his believers have carried out many secret sacrifices and summons."

Zheng Qing thought of the juggler whose body had been taken over by the outer gods on the streets of the North District, and the Satogua who descended in the secret realm Minor World, and the idea in his mind became stronger and stronger.

"That is to say, if no one summons them, they will not come, right." He asked softly.

"In theory." Xiao Xiao nodded.

"Do you think, if we change the angle and chase Nicholas' followers, can we find Linguo's black goat faster?"

"Three-pointed sword has an independent department, which specializes in 'hunting' those cultists. As far as I know, their performance is at the bottom of the whole three-pointed sword every year." Xiao Xiao euphemistically expressed his own opinion: "Forgiveness is a new team. Hunting team, we can't be more professional than them."

"This is a new idea." Zheng Qing insisted.

"That's right, it's indeed a new idea." Xiao Xiao perfunctorily raised the newspaper in his hand: "It's just that compared with this new idea, I think this matter deserves our attention..."

"What's the matter?" Zheng Qing's attention was finally moved away from the new thought he had just had.

"The school newspaper reprinted several articles from "Beta Town Post" and "Ms. Duo Duo", as well as comments... and some articles from the school newspaper own." Xiao Xiao pointed to Zheng the places where the footer was folded Qing:

"For example, this article, in the 'Ancient and Modern Strange Tales' section, usually publishes stories about 'ancient corpses in mountain villages', 'South Sea witchcraft', 'Loch Ness monster', 'learning ghosts in a library'... But today, it uses a lot The article published the "Guardian of the Mirror of the Moon". It was an ancient existence that lived in the underground cave system in the Goat Grove area of ​​Great Britain, and was worshiped by an organization that called itself the "Black Goat Mystery." According to the article, the so-called "Mirror of the Moon" The Guardian' is an avatar of Nicholas."

"For another example, in this article, in the current affairs commentary section, commentators talked about the negative impact of evil god worship on Atlas Academy, especially emphasizing that the outer gods in the depths of the starry sky will affect the choice of wizards on the 'path', turning them into Dependents. Such accusations are rare. Especially since the commentator was from the Alpha Academy..."

"There is also this article, which is a message from the "Beta Town Post" reprinted by the school newspaper. It said, "According to reliable information, there have been several small-scale gatherings of evil god worship in Beta Town." The owner''The impact is obvious, there are a large number of students who love goat milk in the school''Some students lost their pets''The First University is indifferent to this'..."

"And this, reprinted from an article in "Ms. Dodo", repeats the old tune of 'the black goat of the forest that breeds thousands of offspring' to the dangers of pregnant women...it is more likely to cause witches to give birth to magicians... wait."
