Tokyo: Rabbit Police and Her Evil Partner

Chapter 215 The Last Supper
The second floor and the first floor of the factory are completely two different worlds.

The female believers who were lucky enough to sleep on the second floor have all described vividly the wonders of the 'other shore'... The master is a person who has attained liberation, who can return to his original nature and use his supernatural powers to create a paradise on earth, which he calls the 'other shore paradise'.

But in Fushimi Kaka's opinion, the so-called paradise is nothing more than a bunch of LED lights in a dark room. At first glance, there are colorful fluorescent dots all around, and the sound of water flowing faintly in the corner, as if walking on the road to the underworld, the atmosphere is full.

After all, high-brightness GaN LEDs had not yet appeared in 91, the colors were not complete, and the production scale was quite limited, which naturally restricted market promotion and application. Some technologies that seem very common in later generations will be used by people with ulterior motives to do bad things.

Faced with the rapid development of technology, the Japanese are quite confused and uneasy. In many cyberpunk-themed anime or movies, these emotions about unknown technology, the tide of the times, the gap between the rich and the poor, etc. are infinitely magnified.

Fushimi Shika walked through a corridor full of light pollution. At the end was an automatic sensor door. As soon as he approached, the door opened and the speakers on both sides began to play the sacred song "Aum's Light of Truth"... He wanted to complain, but didn't know what to say.

The ceiling lights in the room lit up one after another, the view went from bright to dark, the walls were pure white, a plaster statue of an angel stood in the center of the hall, a strange fragrance filled the air, and a row of holy white gauze hung on both sides.

Asano Ryo sat at the head of a long table, which was filled with sumptuous dishes. Red wine reflected an alluring luster in a transparent vessel. Behind him was a religious mural that could be described as a masterpiece... Fushimi Shika could tell at a glance that this guy was replicating "The Last Supper".

In the famous painting, the dining table is placed horizontally with Jesus sitting in the center; but in front of us, the long table is vertical, nearly ten meters apart from front to back, and both sides are filled with the backbone of the church.

Only the last seat was empty.

Fushimi Shika knew with his buttocks how much oppression an ordinary believer would feel sitting in that position - as the saying goes, distance creates majesty and violence demonstrates power, and in this hall, both are displayed to the fullest.

Asano Ryo knew Fushimi Shika was coming, but he pretended not to notice and just cut his steak. The core members of the sect poured wine for him, and then they all enjoyed their meals. The sound of knives and forks and chewing was continuous, and no one looked up.

If it were an ordinary person, he would feel uncomfortable at this moment, and would either greet the other person quietly to remind them, or go over to find someone familiar and try to fit in.

But Fushimi Shika was different. He crossed his hands, with his left hand holding his right wrist. He stood calmly at the door without saying a word, looking down at everyone with a look as if he was looking at a pig eating from a trough.

The core members of the cult glanced at Fushimi Shika, and saw that he was not embarrassed at all, nor did he look flustered, so they turned back to look at Asano Ryo. The latter did not say anything, but just ate his steak, so they did not say anything more.

The awkward silence lasted for more than ten minutes. During this time, Asano Ryo carefully looked at Fushimi Shika through the mirror on the ground. Seeing that his calmness was not fake, he raised his head and pretended to have just discovered Fushimi Shika: "Ah! Fushimi-kun, when did you come?"

"Just arrived." Fushimi Shika said with a smile.

"Please take a seat," Asano Ryo made a gesture of invitation, "Beef and mutton are detrimental to your practice, so we didn't prepare any. Please forgive us."

"I understand that the master has good intentions. By letting me enjoy delicious food, he is trying to make me indulge in my appetite."

Fushimi Shika pulled out a bench and sat down at the end of the long table. He crossed his fingers and placed them on the table.

At this moment, all the core members of the sect subconsciously stopped chewing. They all turned their heads and looked at Fushimi Shika, who was still calm and had an indescribable aura. The long table seemed to be reversed at this moment. When Fushimi Shika sat down, he was the chief.

Lv7's social charm is not limited to affinity, it naturally includes complex and idealistic abilities such as majesty, anger, emotional infection, command suggestion, etc.

The reason why Kamei Yuryo was able to easily change Gen Tamako's first impression of him was not only due to his language skills, but also his facial expressions, external temperament, body cues and other factors.

This is just like Emperor Wu of Wei holding a sword at the head of his bed and asking Cui Jigui to receive the Hun envoy on his behalf. The latter said: "The King of Wei is very elegant, but the man holding a sword at the head of his bed must be a hero"... At this moment, Fushimi Shika can stand out from the crowd just by sitting there calmly.

Seeing this, Asano Ryoshi was becoming more and more satisfied. It would be great if he could let Fushimi Shika be the face of Aum Shinrikyo - personal charm was also an extremely rare talent, and he lacked a 'second-in-command' with such outstanding abilities.

But being satisfied is one thing, whether you can accept it as a dog is another matter.

When Asano Ryo and Matsumoto Chizuo founded the sect, they had already thought about how the levels of the sect should be divided: at the top is undoubtedly the leader, Matsumoto Chizuo himself; next is Master Sho, whose status is second only to the leader, which is Asano Ryo's current status; followed by Master Shogo, who is also an important role in the sect, responsible for management and brainwashing believers; then, going down layer by layer, there are the chief teachers, masters, teachers, monks and monks.

No matter how hard ordinary believers try, the highest they can achieve is only the rank of master. This is the hidden rule of Aum Shinrikyo: only those who do not believe in super powers can pass the so-called "test" and become high-ranking members of the cult [Seikishi].

It sounds funny, but it's true.

If Aum Shinrikyo wants to grow and develop in the real society, its leader must have relatively sound values ​​and a strong desire for power... At least the leader must be clear that the entire cult is a scam and must not deceive himself, so that things can be done better.

The difference between a large cult and a small cult is that the former brainwashes and deceives people in a purposeful and organized manner, while the latter really deceives themselves and believes in that, making it easy for them to be exposed and slapped in the face.

In other words, as long as Fushimi Shika passes the "test" now, Asano Ryo can announce the next day that Fushimi Shika has attained enlightenment, gained super powers, been blessed by the true God, and has joined the ranks of true enlightened masters.

But if Fushimi Shika fails the test, remains stubborn, or plans to call the police, then they will have no choice but to kill him themselves and let fellow Fushimi die "accidentally."

At this moment, according to custom, Asano Ryo first exchanged some polite words, and as a teacher, he verbally praised Fushimi Shika, saying that he was very satisfied with the latter's recent performance;
Fushimi Shika also pretended to be confused. He sincerely expressed his gratitude and promised that he would continue to work hard and practice harder in the future to achieve enlightenment as soon as possible. After he gained super powers, he would contribute to the cult and make his own contribution...

Hearing this, everyone's expressions became slightly strange.

The bright light made the wrinkles on Asano Ryo's face even deeper. He shook the red wine glass, waited for the aroma to dissipate, took a sip, and said softly: "Fushimi-kun, you don't have any superpowers at all."

"Uh, I don't understand..."

"I mean, the whole thing is just a sham."
