Under One Person, Engage in Black Technology

Chapter 204 Teaching

After Liu Ke finished speaking, Gao Yushan on the other end of the 'communication' also fell silent for a while.

Two or three minutes later, she sighed again and said, "In the end, Chen Duo's situation was caused by those scumbags from the Medicine Immortal Society. After Chen Duo was rescued, the company's attitude towards her, although it seemed like she was just a tool..."

"But they also actively helped her, especially Liao Zhong, who cared about her and wanted her to return to a normal life."

"In a sense, they really did their best. After all, one of the company's primary goals is to protect ordinary people, and keeping Chen Duo away from the outside world is also for safety reasons."

"Since the Medicine Immortal Society was destroyed by the company long ago, such tragedies should not happen again in the future."

"This... might be the only thing our so-called 'world' can do for Chen Duo."

Liu Ke knew that these were just words of comfort that Gao Yushan had said after some thought. As for who she was comforting, she could probably comfort everyone present—whether it was Chen Duo or anyone else who was saddened by her.

But he still nodded, cleared his throat, and forced a smile. After all, he knew Erzhuang probably didn't want him to show that expression.

So he said, “You’re right. Chen Duo’s experience… actually has nothing to do with us. We’re not the ones who started it, so there’s no need for us to feel guilty.”

"Right now, I just feel really uncomfortable watching this scene, because there's nothing I can do about it."

At this point, Liu Ke unconsciously withdrew his smile, and like an angry ancestor, coldly said, "If only I could personally drag out those scum of the Medicine Immortal Society and execute them, that would surely make the whole world feel refreshed."

It seemed that Liu Ke also found his words particularly amusing, and after speaking, he couldn't help but chuckle a few times.

Gao Yushan, who was communicating with him in real time, couldn't help but chuckle.

After laughing for a while, she said, "Even if you want to do it this way, there's nothing I can do! Not to mention the Medicine Immortal Society, even other minor sects of supernatural beings that could be classified as cults have all been 'taken care of' by the company one by one over the past few decades."

"Although the company is heavily criticized in the industry, it has still accomplished a lot of practical things, such as the eradication of these supernatural sects."

"The 'cults' circulating in China nowadays basically have nothing to do with supernatural beings..."

Liu Ke glanced at Chen Duo's group chatting again, and seeing that there was nothing new, he sighed and said, "Hey, although this is a good thing, it's also making people itchy to fight. Seeing injustice, but having no one to vent your anger on."

"I suddenly understand Brother Xiao a little. Sometimes it's really satisfying to have a villain who can vent his anger come out and give you a sense of relief."

"Speaking of which... are the cults in the world of supernatural beings really gone? Can it really be that clean?"

Gao Yushan first gave an affirmative "hmm," and then said directly, "Really, that's all. In fact, Biyou Village is the only supernatural sect that has been classified as a cult in the past five years. If we don't care whether this definition is reasonable or not and just count it, it may be the only surviving 'supernatural cult.'"

"If you want to find one, you can only look at cults organized by ordinary people."

Upon hearing this, Liu Ke's prosthetic eyes emitted bursts of green light. After a few breaths, he said, "I've already used some of my computing power to 'grab' those things that ordinary people do. But... why use a sledgehammer to crack a nut? Once we've caught them, we can just hand them over to the hat-wearing uncles. There's no need for me to get involved, and it's not satisfying."

After saying that, Liu Ke couldn't help but slap his head and wipe his face, and continued, "Maybe I'm too arrogant. I'm a bit 'overconfident' now, and I want to make a 'big splash' every time I make a move."

"It's just... I always feel that if Uncle Hat can catch a cult on his own, it wouldn't be very interesting for me to get involved."

"But perhaps the largest number of people are those who are entangled in, persecuted, and in need of rescue by these ordinary cults."

After a short silence, Liu Ke couldn't help but grind his back teeth, rub his hands together, and scratch his head as he asked, "My hands are itching! If there aren't any in China... then are there any foreign cults of supernatural beings, the really wicked kind, the kind that ordinary people can't handle, the kind worth cracking down on, preferably somewhere nearby?"

Gao Yushan smiled and then said, "There are quite a few overseas. For example, if you go to South Korea for a stroll, you'll probably encounter eight or ten evil people from different sects just by stepping out of your hotel. Tokyo is no less so."

"Oh...right, it seems there is indeed a cult that fits your requirements."

"It has influence in both Japan and South Korea. According to our company's internal records, it has even had some minor conflicts with us before. Its name is 'Unification Church,' and its influence is still quite significant."

Liu Ke was taken aback upon hearing this, finding the name rather intriguing. He jokingly asked, "Unification? Unification what? Instant noodles? No... South Korea probably doesn't have Unification instant noodles."

"Then... what do they want to unify? Really? That's not something a cult would do, is it?"

Upon hearing this, Gao Yushan retorted irritably, "It's Tongji! You could have checked it yourself! Even the Black Wall could have done it for you! You're being ridiculously lazy!"

Seeing that she was feigning anger, Liu Ke laughed and offered some words of comfort before listening to her explain in detail:

"The full name of the Korean 'Unification Church' is the 'Seoul World Church of Jesus Unification Spirit Association.' It is an heretical organization founded by Sun Myung Moon in Seoul, South Korea on May 1, 1954. Calling it a cult is not unreasonable."

“That Mr. Moon Sun-myung claims to be the ‘Messiah’ and ‘Third Adam’ sent by God, and fabricates fallacies and heresies such as ‘blood transfusion theory’ and ‘true parent theory’.”

"These evil people claim that humanity is tainted by original sin because Eve was tempted by Satan, and that only by marrying a spouse chosen by him and participating in a series of rituals can the bloodline be purified and redeemed."

After listening for a while, Liu Ke suddenly smiled and asked, "Ah... the third Adam? According to ethics, that means he's Hong Xiuquan's brother?"

"No... then isn't this Korean guy just a pure plagiarist? I can accept that Korea steals other cultures and origins, at least they have some value, but do they have to steal things like these derivative religions?"

Gao Yushan was taken aback by Liu Ke's somewhat bizarre analysis, but then smiled and said, "Uh... in a sense, what you said doesn't seem to be wrong."

"In short, if you want to investigate cults, this 'Unification Church' should be considered one of the most rampant and influential in Asia. This is especially true after it merged with another major South Korean cult, 'Eternal Life Church,' in 2010."

Liu Ke nodded, then pondered for a moment before asking, "If, as you say, this sect is also organized by superhumans, then their founder, Wen Xianming, must be the strongest superhuman among them, right? What level is he?" Gao Yushan paused for a moment, then sent Liu Ke a document and said, "After all, he's a cult leader, and I've never heard him make a move against anyone."

"All the relevant information about 'Unification Church' is here. You can look it up yourself if you want to know anything. As I mentioned before, 'Unification Church' has had friction with the company, and the company's records and reports are quite detailed."

"In short, they crossed the line to proselytize, but were directly destroyed by the All-Tong Union Ministry."

Liu Keyi's eyes flashed with a green light as he received the document sent by Gao Yushan. As he read it, he said, "Na Du Tong is working with the GA department? That's rare. I remember glancing at the company's public records before, and we've only collaborated with a department of the GA level a handful of times, right?"

Gao Yushan nodded and said, "Well... it's both unexpected and reasonable. It's mainly because those Koreans' missionary methods were too 'out of line'."

"In our area, religious propaganda usually involves distributing books, giving away eggs, and fooling old men and women."

"But over there... they prefer to use very flamboyant methods like [displaying miracles] and [squeezing spirits], which naturally require ordinary people to manage, operate, and cooperate with them."

Looking at the report in his mind, Liu Ke couldn't help but sigh and said, "Tsk... They sent over 100 superhumans, and thousands of ordinary followers?"

“It truly deserves the title of ‘Miracle on the Han River’ in every sense of the word.”

Raising an eyebrow, he casually asked, "By the way, so many people? That's almost the size of a small sect around here, isn't it?"

Gao Yushan replied affirmatively, "More than that, it can be considered a major school of thought. However, considering that cult members are worthless and they have huge ambitions, it is understandable."

"After all... they're targeting our people too."

Liu Ke nodded, then continued looking at the relevant information, saying as he read, "Ha, so almost all of the hundred or so people were slaughtered by the company? Only... two are left? These two used some unknown secret method to simply vanish without a trace?"

"Hey... Chairman Zhao's methods are really something, both clever and ruthless. He deserves a thumbs up for this."

Gao Yushan replied affirmatively, "It is quite impressive. In a sense, it is also thanks to the excessive arrogance of the Tongji Church that the company has established its position in the international supernatural community."

"After all... unlike comprehensive national strength, which is something that can be seen and touched, the strength of each party in the world of superhumans is earned through fighting."

"As for the cooperation with the GA department, it also came about because of this. After the company wiped out the superhumans sent by the other party to preach, the company did not know what to do with the remaining nearly a thousand ordinary believers, so it handed them over to the National A department for disposal."

"Since then, both in the world of ordinary people and in the world of supernatural beings, both at home and abroad, this 'Unified Church' has been defined as 'evil'."

After Gao Yushan finished introducing the Tongji Church, she noticed that Liu Ke was silent again, so she jokingly said in the communication box, "By the way, you're not really thinking about how to 'fight' this 'Tongji Church,' are you?"

Seeing that Liu Ke was just laughing awkwardly and not replying, Gao Yushan stopped teasing him and said, "I was just mentioning it to tease you because I saw you were feeling down. I didn't really want you to go."

"Besides, no matter how carefully you inquire or how attentively you observe, it's useless!"

"What is your status now? I don't need to elaborate on your 'importance,' do I? Even in an extremely safe environment like this in China, the higher-ups don't trust you to wander around freely. They've deployed so many people to accompany you. How could they dare let you go abroad to deal with a cult?"

"Let alone countries like Japan and South Korea, which have a bit of ancient charm and strange lineages, even some small, unenlightened island nation would probably be too risky for you to go."

"Even if you tell them now that you can project your armor to protect yourself at any time, they still won't feel at ease."

"There are countless ways to scheme in this world. Even someone as powerful as the Old Master wouldn't dare say he could defend against all the tricks of supernatural beings. So who can guarantee that you, inside your armor, will be absolutely safe once you leave the country?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Ke scratched his head, sighed, and then echoed Gao Yushan's words, saying, "That's true..."

“Hey, last time… we caused quite a stir in northern Myanmar, and I made a promise to… ‘that person’ that I really can’t go out now.”

At this point, Liu Ke paused noticeably, as if he had thought of something, and then suddenly lifted his chin with his hand, striking the classic contemplative pose of a 'famous detective'.

It wasn't until more than a minute later that he was brought back to his senses by Gao Yushan, who had been calling his name.

"What kind of crazy idea were you thinking about just now? How come you were so distracted?"

After hearing this, Liu Ke scratched his head and said with a strange expression, "It's nothing... What can I think about? Think of ideas, of course? You know what kind of person I am. I... can't sit still."

“Back when I was just a poor student, I didn’t like staying in one place every day. I was so idle that I ended up getting involved in my roommate’s ‘strange incident’.”

"Now... I can at least be considered 'somewhat capable', so I'm even more restless."

"I was just thinking about whether there's a convenient way to 'go out and have fun' without any danger."

After hearing this, Gao Yushan smiled over the communicator and said, "Oh? Well... it seems that 'Clever Ikkyu' has found the answer? What method is it? Tell me about it."

Liu Ke cleared his throat, stood up, and said, "Uh... it's just a concept for now. I'll show it to you once I've made a prototype."

"However, if it ultimately succeeds, it will be...something that's still quite useful."

After saying that, he walked towards Chen Duo.
