Chapter 149 The Anti-Cult Ideological Education Speech

The conference room on the top floor of the Sage Academy's main building was filled with an intangible silence.

In the center of the conference room, the all-angle circular magic screen was still showing the bizarre midday religious ritual, the screen flickering from time to time, reflecting the deep gold of the sanctuary. Around the circular conference table, the teachers still dared not express their opinions.

The silent light cut through the air from various angles, causing shadows to occasionally climb onto Loren's face.

"Loren, let it go, let it go."

Ron, the vice-dean sitting next to Loren, patted Loren on the back.

The three clergy members had it rough; being involved with Lan Qi, it was good that they returned home safely.

Seeing the vice-dean begin to speak, many teachers wanted to try to ease the awkward atmosphere in the conference room.

"Dean, being led astray while with Lan Qi is normal. Moreover, it’s a great achievement that the three clergymen were able to pass through this Shadow World. Let’s just consider it offsetting merits and demerits..."

Teacher Theresa, the most gentle in nature, began to say good things again.

Lan Qi always listened to her class very seriously, which moved her a lot, but it also gradually made her a little scared...

After this Shadow World, Theresa became even more convinced of one thing—the necessity of Hyperia in their Sage Academy.

If Hyperia didn't keep Lan Qi by her side, distracting him and limiting his communication space, the consequences would be unimaginable.

The other freshmen in the same class would probably be spiritually poisoned after just a few words with Lan Qi!

And Hyperia, as a half-demon, was someone who could get along well with Lan Qi while miraculously maintaining herself, able to withstand Lan Qi's spiritual pollution without limit.

In a sense.

Hyperia saved the whole class.

"..."

Loren covered his forehead.

Not knowing what to say.

What he was really afraid of was—

It was only the first day and these three clergy members were already being led astray, and they still had to spend five days with Lan Qi.

After the five-day Shadow World ended.

If the Saintess saw her three upright clergy members completely fall into depravity, becoming strangers.

Then Loren couldn't imagine how angry the rigid Saintess would be...

...

Lichtenstein Castle, the basic-level sanctuary.

As the ritual neared its end, the fervent prayers in the sanctuary gradually cooled, finally settling into a deep calm.

A cloud seemed to drift across the sky above the castle, and the stained glass windows in the dome also dimmed, leaving only a faint glimmer of afterglow.

Everyone's faces showed a sense of satisfaction and vengeance, as if after experiencing a mental frenzy, they had found their home.

Looking at the clock in the sanctuary, there was still some time before sunset.

Although the Blood Lord would not wake up for the time being, it was safer for them to gather together to contain the betrayers for two to three hours, at which time, as sunset approached, they should disperse and hide.

"Mr. Lawyer, what should we do next?"

The chief priest of the Northern Continent's Goddess of Destiny Church asked Lan Qi after seeing that the prayer ceremony had ended.

Although the three clergy members realized that Lan Qi's way of praising the goddess was very incorrect.

They couldn't help but marvel at Lan Qi's wisdom.

Only justice that can win is true justice.

At this moment, Lan Qi had become the generally recognized host after Frey.

Everyone's eyes naturally gathered on him.

"I want to conduct an 'Anti-Cult Ideological Education Speech.' We must firmly implement our determination to overthrow cultists."

Lan Qi calmly walked to the long table in the sanctuary, sat in the center of the side, and looked at everyone.

"I will give the speech while randomly calling on people to answer questions, which may contain some trick questions. If you are not focused enough, you may accidentally reveal something or be seen through by everyone."

After taking his seat, the banquet table looked like the headmaster's private desk. He sat upright and said with a sense of responsibility,

"But I believe that if everyone's determination to fight against cults is active enough, and after the oath just now, they are in a relaxed and happy state, then they will definitely be able to answer my questions easily. Conversely, if you are mentally tense and in a state of chaos, it will be a considerable mental challenge, okay?"

After speaking, Lan Qi glanced around at everyone.

Seeming to seek their opinions.

Except for Hyperia, who had habitually followed him, she only felt like she had returned to the Purgatory Corridor Academy.

"..."

Everyone was silent for a moment.

"Agree."

"Support."

Everyone actively responded to the call.

Although they had already discovered that Lan Qi's essence was that of a newbie.

But the challengers were willing to accompany him in this, because he was purely messing with the enemy's mentality.

...

In the center of the sanctuary.

Lan Qi sat alone in front of the long table.

His voice was steady and firm, each word clearly cutting into people's hearts.

"Cultists of the Rebirth Church usually have the following characteristics: forcibly instilling thoughts, confusing people's minds; rejecting mainstream social concepts and values; manipulating and using members; restricting members' normal interactions with the outside world; engaging in illegal or immoral behavior in the name of religion."

He gave an upright anti-cult lecture,

"The harm caused by the Rebirth Church is all-round. It can not only lead to personal psychological and material damage, but also have a profound impact on social and family relationships, leading to personal property losses, mental health problems, and difficulties in social integration. At the social level, it may lead to social instability, damage the harmony of the community, and even trigger serious social events..."

The surrounding challengers listened intently, their eyes locked on Lan Qi.

Lan Qi spoke almost non-stop.

He suddenly stopped his speech, raised his hand and pointed to the handsome male guard behind the young master of the merchant guild, and asked:

"According to the text I mentioned earlier, which of the following is the name of the Bishop of Annihilation?"

"A Askesang, B Apokles, C MacArthur, D Lan Qi Wilford"

"This is a trick question because you didn't mention the Bishop of Annihilation at all just now."

The male guard behind the young master of the merchant guild replied clearly.

"Very good, you got it right."

Lan Qi nodded in agreement.

This question and answer couldn't help but make the corners of many other people's eyes twitch slightly.

With Lan Qi's way of asking, if you can't concentrate, you may not be able to answer!

You can't slack off for a while listening to his lecture!

Seeming to feel everyone's tension, Lan Qi quickly raised his hand, signaling everyone to rest assured.

"Please don't worry, as long as you don't have resistance, listen carefully to my anti-cult speech, you will definitely be able to answer my questions."

Lan Qi said with certainty, quite like a principal sitting on the podium giving a speech to the students.

The challengers gradually nodded.

At this point.

They finally understood the purpose of Lan Qi's speech—

The cultists, whose mentality had already exploded, had to not only maintain their acting skills for a long time, but also put down their resistance, open their hearts, and listen to, digest, and absorb Lan Qi's brainwashing anti-cult knowledge points.

It's hard to describe what kind of new torture this is.

The challengers couldn't imagine the betrayers' mental state.

Being tormented by Lan Qi from morning till now.

If those two don't kill Lan Qi tonight, they probably won't give up!
