Chapter 265 "Shepherding"

Friday night, at the Backlund Aurora Society headquarters.

"Ah, Kosma, have you read the latest newspaper?"

Butis Bru stepped out of the Starlight Gate and immediately asked his two good colleagues.

"If you didn't do it, don't use such a boastful tone."

Mr. A didn't have a good look at this guy.

"Dark Saint" Xesma was still hiding in the corner of the house, without making a sound.

"Well... I won't do such a shameful thing."

Butis Blue raised his black robe and sat on the sofa, saying sincerely:
"I just feel that the perpetrators don't seem to take us seriously? Are you two just letting the Lamb of the Lord be slaughtered at will?"

“…They are only potential believers. They do not believe in the Lord. The Lord bearing their sins is the greatest mercy! Praise the Lord!” Mr. A made the sign of the inverted cross on his chest and praised.

"So that's what you think..."

Butis Blue looked at Mr. A with an inexplicable look and sighed in a low voice:

"No wonder you don't get the Lord's grace or praise..."

Mr. A's eyes immediately turned red. He scratched his face, which looked like a woman, with his nails and shouted in a voice that almost tore his vocal cords:
"Blasphemy! Butis! I will fight you in front of the statue of God! To the death! To the death!"

At this time, the shadow transformed by the "Dark Saint" Kesma stopped the "shepherd" who was angry and mad, and asked:

"Butis, what do you think? If you can't give me a reason, I have the right to accuse you of blasphemy to the angel and to the Lord."

Butis Blue waved his hands and said:

"Hey, hey! Please don't! I am devoted to God!
"I just... you know, I spent an unforgettable time in the 'Abraham Family'. Although the people there are not that good, there are quite a few books recording history.

"Recently, when I was flipping through one of the books I had stolen... guess what I saw? In the distant 'Solomon Dynasty', our great Lord was worshipped as a 'true god'! Hmm? Judging from your reactions, you knew it a long time ago?"

Mr. A shouted in a sharp, hoarse voice:
"Of course! The Lord's glory does not stop there! The first time the Creator woke up, He created the entire world in just 'seven days'! He is omniscient and omnipotent. He selflessly gave away his own flesh and blood to the cruel demon wolves, giants, and dragons, hoping to calm them down. Then He fell into a deep sleep.

"When He woke up again, He found that humans were in a difficult situation. It turned out that those alien creatures had no 'mercy' at all! So He fought against the ancient gods one by one, took back the power! Let humans rule the world!

"But the betrayers stretched out their dirty hands!

"...

"I have long been familiar with the glory of the Lord, Butis. It is too early for you to teach me about this!"

Butis Blue no longer concealed the pity in his eyes and said:
"Then have you ever thought about why the 'Redemption Rose' was accepted by people at that time, while our 'Aurora Society' was despised by all kinds of people, even though we both preached the Lord's doctrine and shepherded the lambs?

"Is it really all because of the Seven Evil Gods' exclusion? Putting that aside, is there nothing wrong with our Aurora Society?
"What is the attitude of the Aurora Society towards those who do not believe in them? Ignore them! Watch them die?
"A, how do you treat the lambs in your church? You take advantage of their devotion to the Lord and ask them to sacrifice themselves to death? Why don't you die?"

"Of course I can sacrifice myself for the Lord!" Mr. A opened his chest, revealing his bright red beating heart, and said, "For the Lord's cause, I can sacrifice everything! But I must remain useful and die in a more valuable event!"

"Tsk tsk," Butis Blue made a strange sound and taunted:

"What a professional 'double standard'. Others can be sacrificed at will, but what about yourself? What is more valuable? Is it valuable to preach the Lord's doctrine and shepherd new lambs? In your mouth, is that not worth your sacrifice? What a big show, Mr. A, the Saint of A, the Angel of A? I'm so scared!"

Seeing that Mr. A was completely unable to resist this guy's sarcasm, Kesma had no choice but to speak:

"Butis, what on earth do you want to say?"

Butis Blue smiled and said:
"What do I want to say? What I want to say is that you have been colluding with the Psychological Alchemy Society! And you lied to me that you wanted revenge on them? I think you are the ones who should be liquidated by the Angel and the Lord!
"When did we follow the 'audience' and take pride in developing high-level 'lambs'? Does A only have room for handsome men and beautiful women? What do other people mean to you? When did the 'lambs' also have different levels? Did the Lord ask you to do this?!
"Everything has divinity. In your eyes, everything can be trampled upon?! Then you are insulting the Creator!"

"Shut up Butis!"

Kosma suddenly regretted why he had kept this guy to help. He should at least sew his mouth shut first! Butis is good, but he just has a mouth! He added:
"We have no connection with the Psychological Alchemist Society. They are our enemies, there is no doubt about that.

"It is a general trend to recruit people with higher status, because these people can mobilize more resources, provide us with materials and information...

"Moreover, they usually live longer. If they are poor people in the East District who can't get enough food... maybe they will starve to death after a while, and we won't be able to recover the 'missionary costs' we paid..."

As they were talking, Kosma fell silent, followed by A, and Butis Blue smiled mockingly:
"It turns out that your eyes are still working, and you can still see those 'lambs' dying...

“But why are you indifferent?

"The 'shepherds' in the Intis region, I mean ordinary shepherds, they herd sheep for their employers, and if any sheep dies, they will be punished, and they may not even get any pay.

"So they will do everything they can to protect those 'lambs' and help the lambs become healthier so they can survive and reproduce.

"What about you? No, what about us? The Lord's 'Lamb' is being 'stolen', 'deceived', and 'killed', but the Lord is 'merciful' and does not punish us too much, and even still cares for us.

"So how do we repay the Lord's 'kindness'?"

Mr. A had an extremely ferocious expression. He suddenly stretched out his right hand and reached into his chest. Boom! He actually grabbed the bright red heart! He roared:
"Praise the Lord! I am guilty, please punish me!"

Chi! His heart broke, blood spurted out, and Mr. A fell to the ground.

“……”Butis Blue hurriedly dodged the splattered blood.

"..." Kesma's expression changed several times. This guy A is really stupid! You won't die like this... He said to the "Secret Saint" who jumped up from the sofa:
“Botis, we all know what you said.

"I didn't expect you to have such a strong talent for shepherding. I am really impressed.

"You have a good eloquence. Why don't you stay in Backlund and help recruit believers? Implement the philosophy you have stated yourself."

"...Ah?" Butis Blue was stunned. What was going on? How could he become a keyboard warrior and rant about a new position? What a hassle!
