Volume 12: Cafe Heroes Chapter 6: Paradise Worship
In order to avoid being called to the police or being treated as a mental patient by others, Li Lin randomly found a place like an Internet cafe, booked a private room, calmed down, and tried to comfort the crying and noisy demon in his mind. It took him a long time to calm him down.
Of course, this kind of private room must be paid for, there is no such thing as free stuff. But this time, Li Lin really did not come empty-handed.
Because of the mission, I applied for a sum of working funds from the logistics department when I came here. Although I am only here to do the mission, from the official point of view, this is a serious matter after all, and at least there is some working funds. The expedition to other areas of the Holy Light Sect has not stopped yet, and there are at least ten days before the ceremony. In order to commend outstanding young people, the university still supports him to go out and walk around, and naturally gave him a sum of money when he came to Wusi this time.
But the Holy Light Sect is not a charity after all. Although they gave a sum of money for activities, it was not the kind of money that was just thrown out mindlessly. Instead, it was a more subtle bounty that could allow people to live well during this period of time, but it would be spent in a short period of time.
You are asked to check tasks and find jobs, not to disrupt the local economic order and speculate in real estate. You still have to distinguish between the primary and the secondary.
"But this place really looks similar to reality. There's even an internet..."
Is this really an Internet cafe?
Looking at the crystal clear and beautiful machine in front of him, Li Lin found something that looked like a switch and pressed it. The interface suddenly flipped from the inside to reveal the content and structure of the interface. It looked a bit like the operation interface in ancient times. However, there was no mouse and keyboard, but a mixed ball. He held it with both hands and rubbed and squeezed it to operate. Although it felt a bit strange when he first touched it, he quickly got used to it after a little correction.
Through description and translation, he found a place similar to a search engine. After bypassing a bunch of small advertisements such as "I'm waiting for you to fight in Destiny" and "I'm XXX, I'm waiting for you to play in XXXX", Li Lin successfully found the target of this mission through the search engine.
The chapel of the Holy Light Church is surprisingly not a secret node, but a well-known organization. The countless links that pop up on the search page prove that the Holy Light Church in this world did not come as a savior, but rather regarded itself as a member of the entire society. In addition to normal work and assisting the government in catching criminals, church leaders of all generations often participate in various entertainment activities and project management bidding. The chapel of the Holy Light Church is also the largest game entertainment center in the world, with a market share of more than 60% of the entire industry, and revenue ranks first in the world.
The old-fashioned and boring holy light canned food are actually doing well on this real entertainment planet, without any signs of acclimatization. It seems that they have relaxed themselves, with a group of saintly ladies and handsome men singing and dancing happily on the stage. The clicks on several promotional videos are basically in the billions, either countless people around the world have watched it several times, or everyone in the world has watched it once. This data looks quite scary.
"But is there something wrong with the holy light here?"
Looking at the burly archbishop with a Mohawk haircut playing a guitar-like instrument, Li Lin always felt that his consciousness seemed to have changed in some way.
'No, the Holy Light is not something that is unchanging, old-fashioned and serious. Things that everyone likes, things that the people want, and ideas that are truly conscientious and kind are all part of the Holy Light. So although Wus looks very different from other places, it is actually still part of the Holy Light.'
"Tsk, to put it bluntly, isn't it just about doing whatever is convenient?"
Sally in her consciousness muttered unhappily:
'All good things are yours. As long as they are in line with other people's ideas and are well-intentioned, they are holy light. That's why you are considered mentally ill. Have you ever thought about it? Why did I suffer the holy light when I was living a good life? Free will is the most important thing, free will.'
"Even if you say so, Lady Sallys... But aren't you a great demon? The way you infect others should be even more illogical and meaningless than Holy Light, right?"
"I don't really want to be that exaggerated! I also want to go out and have fun!"
"Okay, okay, Sally, don't be so willful."
After closing the search interface and walking out of the Internet cafe, Li Lin identified the direction and prepared to find the nearest Holy Light Chapel, while comforting Sallys.
"There's no way. The arrival of the Great Demon in the flesh itself means a distortion of the essence of the world. If you appear here, I'm afraid it will become a kingdom of God immediately. That would be meaningless, and you would be easily captured and sealed directly. Wouldn't that be even more boring?"
"It's so inconvenient to be a demon! I want to be able to go down in my physical body as I did the last time! Why can't I do what I could do some time ago now? This is not fair! I also want to go shopping and play games with adults!"
"Maybe it's because you're trying too hard..."
It cannot be said that the physical body used for descent collapsed directly.
While chatting with the two little girls in the ocean of consciousness, Li Lin walked huddled in the bloated and noisy crowd.
All the noise from the outside world seemed to have nothing to do with him. A ghostly and obscure atmosphere enveloped him. People around him naturally moved away from him, and then the crowd automatically closed in the back. No one cared about this short cosplayer who didn't know what he was doing.
But this is not true invisibility, it is just the indifference of the metropolis. In the eyes of people who can really feel something, Li Lin's disguise is almost meaningless. After all, disguise is just a change in appearance, and there is no special alienation in essence. For some people, or those who already have ideas, the disguise that Li Lin put on has no meaning of disguise, it is just a disguise to protect against ordinary people.
"Oh, didn't I tell you no? No means no... huh?"
"What's wrong? No. 1? Hello? Are you responding? Say something back?"
“…”
Wait a minute, that person...
The moment Li Lin walked across the street, the tall woman who seemed to be making a phone call across the street seemed to glance at Li Lin lightly.
She was just looking at the passers-by, but she seemed to realize something and turned around to stare at Li Lin's back. When she saw his slightly thin body disappear in the crowd, the woman's eyes lit up slightly and she licked her lips subconsciously.
"I found the target."
"What? Wait! Don't act rashly! Wait!"
"No, I have to prove my ability too. I'm not some good girl."
It's not my character to take credit for nothing.
Looking at Li Lin's back, the woman's pupils shrank slightly. She ignored her increasingly anxious companion on the phone, revealed a charming smile, and quietly followed him.
