Chapter 2: The Holy Child
March 5th, light rain.
Haneda International Airport.
"President, welcome back."
"Ah."
"President, should we go back to the headquarters first?"
"Residential."
"Yes."
Sitting in the back seat of the car, Nakai Hayabusa looked at the scenery receding, his eyes full of deep thought.
He is fifty years old this year. When he was thirty, he seized the opportunity and established Shengen Co., Ltd. with his calm face and some means. The main user portrait was clearly defined from the beginning. They were housewives with empty spirits, people with illnesses or family members with serious illnesses. In the name of the company, he sold false hope.
Later, based on development and judgment, Sheng'en Co., Ltd. was changed to Shengyin Co., Ltd. The company's purpose is that the Shengyin will represent the Holy Lord and come to this mortal world in the flesh. At that time, all members of the company will be able to obtain holy healing, which can make seriously ill patients recover without medicine and make children become smart and clever.
At the same time, divine punishment will be brought down on the sins and injustices in the world. Only members of the company can avoid divine punishment for themselves and their families, and even have the opportunity to redistribute the wealth of the world.
Compared to others, his company does not emphasize the afterlife or heaven, but focuses more on this life and interests.
After twenty years of hard work, the Holy Infant Society has achieved some success. Since they did not organize any sacrifices that sounded wrong, at most they gathered together holding candlesticks and spinning in circles as a team-building activity for the society, it did not attract any attention.
Arrange some extras to perform medical miracles from time to time to give members hope.
However, this year, he could no longer suppress his ambition and decided to spend a large sum of money to go to South Korea for "further studies".
During these three months, he witnessed too many strange and bizarre events and gained a deeper understanding of human nature and its inevitable weaknesses.
No wonder bloody sacrifices are always standard for certain groups, because this can quickly drag everyone into the water, bring out the tyrannical factors deep in their hearts, bring people together, and exclude other "heretics" who do not follow the rules.
But the problem now is that he has learned a lot, but should he put it into practice?
On the way back, Nakai Hayabusa kept thinking about this question.
Perhaps we can start with animals.
The stopping of the car interrupted his thoughts. He glanced out the window and found that they had arrived at the parking lot of the apartment building where his home was.
"Pick me up tomorrow at eight."
After giving the order, he walked directly towards the elevator.
On the side, a security guard was walking towards the elevator, but Nakai Hayabusa didn't care. He was still thinking about how to plan a new ceremony.
The unremarkable security guard stood behind Nakai Hayabusa and followed him to the 17th floor without pressing the elevator number.
At this time, Nakai Hayabusa was already somewhat concerned about the security guard and became a little alert.
The elevator door opened. The security guard glanced at Zhongju Falcon and saw that he did not go out. He nodded at him, walked straight out, came to the fire cabinet, picked up the inspection registration form and seemed to be writing something.
Nakai Hayabusa shook his head, thinking that he had been in South Korea for too long and his nerves had become tense and sensitive, so he walked out of the elevator door, came to his room, and pressed his finger on the fingerprint lock.
drop.
Before Nakai Hayabusa could push the door open, a huge force suddenly came from behind him, pushing him and the door open with a slam!
"You--ah" Nakai Hayabusa was pressed to the ground and turned around to question.
But as soon as he opened his mouth, something was stuffed into it. He subconsciously wanted to spit it out, but his mouth was held directly, irritating his throat, and he swallowed it with a gulp.
"Cough cough - cough cough - vomit - you, who are you!? What the hell did you give me to eat!?" The security guard released his hold, and Nakai Hayabusa quickly rolled a few times to distance himself. He half crawled up in fear, knelt on the ground, and kept picking his throat, trying to vomit out what he had just swallowed.
The security guard had an indifferent expression, which perfectly embodied the meaning of the word "expressionless".
"The Holy Child said that you have disappointed Him."
Even the shrewdness and facial expression control that Nakai Shun had developed over decades were no match for the shock of this one sentence.
what? !
Holy Infant?
Isn't this something I made up to appease those idiots?
His mind raced, and many guesses popped up in his head.
Could it be that a member was possessed by a demon? Was he consciously receiving inspiration from the Holy Child?
Or was he the murderer sent by the nudist group because of what happened last time?
"No, no, I'm the president. I haven't received any feedback from the Holy Infant." Nakai Hayabusa tried to delay time, and one of his hands had already reached his pocket.
"Mazaki Hospital, morgue cabinet 305, the Holy Child is about to come. You have one day to bring out the container of the Holy Child. If you fail..." The security guard picked up a long stick, scaring Nakai Hayabusa so much that he quickly raised his hands. Then, under the latter's surprised gaze, the security guard easily twisted the long stick into a twist and threw it at Nakai Hayabusa's feet.
"What you just took was the Holy Child Pill, which grants you strength and health. But if you disappoint the Holy Child, the worst consequence you can imagine will not be even one ten-thousandth of the real consequence." The security guard left after leaving these words.
Only Nakai Hayabusa was left standing there in a daze.
Only then did he begin to feel that this old body seemed to be constantly surging with strength, and it was a strength far beyond that of his youth.
Hesitantly, he placed his hand on the corner and squeezed it hard.
The wall was crushed like a shoddy construction. Nakai Hayabusa's smile was harder to suppress than AK. He staggered to the bathroom and looked in the mirror. He saw a man who looked no more than 40 years old, looking nervous and happy in front of the mirror.
"Haha. Hahaha——" Ignoring the dust on his hands, he kept rubbing his face, and a creepy laugh came out of his throat.
"It's true, it's actually true! Could it be that I have received a revelation?! There is a holy child in this world!" His madness lasted for a long time before he gradually calmed down.
Oh, yes! No. 305, Jian-Jianqi Hospital?
He quickly took out his cell phone and made a call.
Six or seven minutes later, at the place where he got off the bus, the subordinates were somewhat surprised to see Nakai Hayabusa, who looked ten years younger.
Nakai Hayabusa smiled brightly and patted his subordinate on the shoulder: "Let's go."
"Yes."
5 month 17 day.
Nakai Hayabusa issued a call to all core members of the Holy Infant Society, asking them to hold a core circle meeting on May 5th no matter what happened. At that time, everyone will witness the miracle.
5 month 20 day.
Seven core members plus Nakai Hayabusa and his two assistants, a total of ten people, gathered in a warehouse.
"I'm glad that everyone can attend this meeting on time. This is also a gift given to us by Lord Holy Infant." Nakai Hayabusa appeared in front of everyone with a rosy face.
His sudden youthfulness makes people unable to help but think about it.
"I know that everyone is curious about the purpose of this meeting. I will not keep you in suspense and tell you directly that it is for our ultimate goal - the coming of the Holy Child!" Nakai Hayabusa opened his arms and shouted with full energy.
These core believers all have at least 90% faith in the Holy Infant Society, otherwise they would not have become core members and been exploited by Nakai Hayabusa. So when they heard Nakai Hayabusa's announcement, no one questioned it at all. They all knelt down on the spot and expressed their loyalty and faith with their most pious attitude.
Among them, a couple are wealthy businessmen, two elderly people have considerable family wealth and suffer from cancer themselves, a man is a company executive, and the two wealthy ladies are wives of rich men.
Except for two housewives, the original intentions of everyone else joining were similar.
The couple has an only son who has been suffering from illness for many years; the two elderly people have cancer; and the executive has a paralyzed mother.
Nakai Hayabusa nodded, and was quite satisfied with their reaction. He then turned his head and signaled to his two assistants, who immediately pushed up the morgue cabinet which was still powered on.
"The Holy Infant was unwilling to take over a body that contained another person's soul, so he found the body of a child that contained spirituality and descended to the heavens." Nakai Hayabusa explained to everyone.
"Holy Child, have mercy!" someone shouted, and the others followed suit.
An assistant opened the cabinet and a burst of cold air blew in, making everyone believe it even more.
Two assistants carefully lifted up the body, which turned out to be a little boy of only seven or eight years old, and there was no indication of the cause of death.
The two assistants' hearts were beating wildly. Although they had witnessed it before, they still thought it was too ridiculous! No, maybe, this holy child was actually a ghost.
Nakai Hayabusa shouted: "Welcome the Holy Infant to come!"
Everyone followed and shouted: "Welcome the Holy Child!"
In the silence filled with only breathing and swallowing, the boy's body slowly opened his eyes.
Even Nakai Hayabusa, who had witnessed such a scene once and was mentally prepared, still couldn't help feeling scared.
Not to mention everyone else.
At this moment, even breathing seemed to stop.
"Are these the only ones there?" the Holy Child asked calmly.
Nakai Hayabusa kowtowed immediately and said, "I have failed to do my job well and I am unworthy of the trust of the Holy Infant. I deserve death!"
Others didn't dare to speak at all.
After a while, when Nakai Hayabusa couldn't help but tremble, the Holy Infant said, "That's fine."
"Thank you, Lord Holy Infant, for your forgiveness!" Nakai Hayabusa finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The Holy Infant cast his gaze towards the seven kneeling people, and at a glance, they also enjoyed the pressure that Nakai Hayabusa had just endured.
"I feel your faith." The Holy Infant nodded reluctantly, then casually took out two large flesh-colored "balls" and said, "Here are two Holy Child Pills. Let Nakai Hayabusa arrange them."
"I will follow the Holy Infant's will!" Nakai Hayabusa quickly crawled in front of the Holy Infant, raised his hands, and held the two Holy Son Pills.
Humans are like this. If the Holy Infant gave out pills to everyone all at once, some people might be suspicious and want to see what would happen if others ate them. But now there are only two pills, and suddenly everyone's eyes became very hot when they looked at the pills. They have guessed the function of the pill from the president's change.
"It's great that you can persist in your faith." The Holy Child said slowly, "On June 6, gather everyone to hold a soul gathering ceremony. I will gather more Holy Son Pills so that those who are sincere will no longer suffer from illness."
"Holy Child, be merciful! Give us a new life!" Nakai Hayabusa shouted skillfully, and the others were not so nervous anymore and followed suit.
The Holy Infant did not reply. Nakai Hayabusa carefully looked up and found that the Holy Infant had closed his eyes at some point.
At this moment, Bai Shihang, who was far away at home, opened his eyes.
"Stones, please find the way for me."
