Folk Card Maker: Starting from Painted Skin.

Chapter 275 Exploring the Land of Cherry Blossoms

"Am I alone?"

After listening to the principal's instructions, Zhang Jingtian asked softly.

The principal nodded, then glanced at Zhang Jingtian again: "Can you do it?"

In response to his question, Zhang Jingtian smiled and nodded: "Of course, it's not difficult at all."

He actually really wanted to visit Japan, the land of cherry blossoms.

"Hmm." The principal sighed, "The situation in South Korea isn't good either; they're likely to become the next Darkmoon Kingdom. If Japan does the same, then everything around us will probably become the Scourge's appendages."

Zhang Jingtian knew this because he had seen the news before that South Korea was practically defunct.

Although there are still many people in this country, almost everyone has actually gathered in Paradise.

Apart from Paradise, almost the entire region has been corrupted by the Scourge.

Of course, at first they were all occupied by those cults, and then over time they were infiltrated by the Scourge.

After all, almost all cults eventually end up being ruled by the Scourge.

Even though everyone knows that none of these diverse sects have good intentions.

In today's turbulent environment, ordinary people can only seek solace in these religious sects.

Zhang Jingtian was actually quite understanding.

South Korea is basically beyond saving now, but Japan seems to still have a glimmer of hope.

Zhang Jingtian has become increasingly skilled and adept at this kind of volunteer work.

He felt that as long as he remembered the past, he could still turn the situation around.

Moreover, he had a premonition that once he arrived in the land of cherry blossoms, he might be able to break through in one fell swoop and become a legendary card maker.

Zhang Jingtian quickly boarded the vehicle provided by the school and headed to the land of cherry blossoms.

Aside from Dragon Country and Beautiful Country, Cherry Blossom Country is probably the strongest country.

Their country has nine top-notch card makers.

However, this very country is now on the verge of being eroded by the Scourge, which, to be honest, still surprises many people.

All I can say is that the Scourge is truly terrifying.

The situation in Japan is actually very similar to that in South Korea.

They were all gradually conquered because there were too many cults in their country.

Not only ordinary people, but even some card makers are easily misled by the rhetoric of cults.

Therefore, the people who came to provide support this time did not act together as they did during the last siege of Dark Moon.

Instead, they were sent to visit one of the well-known cults and defeat them one by one.

Zhang Jingtian quickly arrived at the location of the cult he needed to investigate.

While Zhang Jingtian was still looking around, he saw someone walking straight towards him.

Zhang Jingtian touched his nose and immediately greeted the person in front of him:
"Hello."

When the man saw Zhang Jingtian, his eyes lit up, and then he smirked and said in a very lewd tone, "You seem to be quite confused about your future."

Zhang Jingtian clicked his tongue, thinking to himself that this was just a very common opening: first, sell anxiety, and then trick you into joining them.

It's fair to say he's seen this kind of sect many times before.

“Yes.” Zhang Jingtian nodded: “I’m just an ordinary card maker. I realize that people like me who have no talent are just destined to be sacrificed.”

The other party became increasingly happy; their cult's favorite people were those like Zhang Jingtian who felt lost and anxious about the future.

"Don't think like that, it's not your problem at all! It's just the world's problem! They're pressuring you, deceiving you, and putting all sorts of pressure on you."

But if you think about it carefully, are all these pressures truly necessary? Is it possible that they have absolutely nothing to do with you?

Upon hearing this, Zhang Jingtian immediately feigned an enlightened expression: "It seems that's really true! But how should I change this? I'm so confused."

The person opposite him smiled and waved to Zhang Jingtian: "You can come with me, I'll answer your questions."

Zhang Jingtian clicked his tongue, thinking to himself that these tricks were really too old-fashioned!
But then I thought about it again, and although the trick is old, it is indeed very effective because many people fall for it.

Otherwise, Japan wouldn't have so many cults.

What he's going to investigate next is probably one of the top three largest cults in the entire country of Japan.

Actually, some people suggested at the beginning that Zhang Jingtian should bring another person with him.

His words seemed somewhat dangerous.

However, Zhang Jingtian quickly refused, because he knew that these cults weren't so stupid; otherwise, they wouldn't have reached their current status.

These cults lowered their guard because they saw he was alone and didn't suspect he was there to cause trouble.

As Zhang Jingtian entered the cult, he saw many ordinary people, including the elderly and children.

As he walked down the corridor, he saw an old man looking at him kindly and then smiling at him.

Given their appearance, it's hard to imagine that they could be cult members.

Zhang Jingtian even saw a very cute little girl who stumbled and ran towards him, then ran into Zhang Jingtian's arms.

"Brother, are you also here seeking help?"

When Zhang Jingtian saw the girl's innocent eyes, he didn't know how to answer for a moment.

In the end, the person who brought him here gently sent the girl away, then smiled at Zhang Jingtian.

Zhang Jingtian asked, somewhat puzzled, "What's wrong with this little girl? Is she also in trouble?"

The man nodded: "She's quite pitiful. When we found her, her whole family was dead. Just because her mother came to us for help, the Card Makers Association labeled her a heretic and wanted to kill her entire family."

Tell me, what did this little girl do wrong? She was just born into an ordinary family, and she didn't have any special talents. But that doesn't warrant death, does it?

Zhang Jingtian, standing to the side, kept his head down, unable to utter a word.

This cult is so deceptive; it's completely different from any sect he's ever encountered before.

After staying there for a while, he began to doubt his own understanding.

At this moment, Zhang Jingtian touched his nose and then said, "Could I see the person in charge here?"
