Chapter 4 04: Granting the Pill

On December 6th.

In an old office building somewhere near Kitaayase.

The Holy Infant Society had an unprecedented gathering of 58 people, all gathered together, holding candlesticks and praying to the rhythm of the president.

".The Holy Infant is still fighting against the filthy atmosphere of the human world when it first came. However, the merciful Him does not want His members to suffer from illness, so He will bestow His grace. Those who believe devoutly can obtain a Holy Child Pill, and can also exchange it with their accumulated dedication merits. Next, a gathering ceremony will be held to gather spiritual power for the Holy Infant."

These reasons and rituals were told to Nakai Hayabusa by the security guards controlled by Shiraishi Ko. He assigned the security guard the identity of the Ninth Guardian, whose duty was to prevent the still fragile Holy Infant from being harmed by other evil forces.

This made Nakai Hayabusa nervous for a long time. He couldn't sleep well, for fear that some mysterious force would attack him.

The members held up the candlesticks and stood in the corresponding positions according to the instructions of the president and assistants. The coffin of the Holy Child was placed in the center, and a large amount of rice and willow branches were scattered around it. In short, it gave people an awe-inspiring feeling.

Then the members repeated the president's words nine times, and the president took the lead in kneeling and shouting, "Welcome the Holy Child to the world!"

A few core members quickly followed, and then the other members hesitantly followed suit.

The two assistants continued to shoulder the responsibility of lifting the Holy Child up.

The cool air from the coffin wafted out, clearing the minds of those who were close to it.

The venue became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, and people looked at the child who was helped up with inquiring eyes.

In the silence, the Holy Child opened his eyes. There was no sadness or joy in his eyes, as if they were full of divinity.

“Very few among you are qualified.” The Holy Infant raised his eyes and said lightly. His voice did not sound like a child at all.

Before Nakai Hayabusa could speak, the Holy Child continued, "I will let the Nine Guardians select those who are devout believers. Only they are eligible to obtain the Holy Child Pill."

After saying that, he lay back down.

The Ninth Protector, who had been sitting in the corner with his eyes closed, opened his eyes, stood up, and picked out the core members, several people in wheelchairs, and several people who looked relatively healthy.

Tomomi Sato is one of them.

At this moment, she was feeling uneasy and limped along with the others, standing in front of the Nine Protectors.

"Each of you can get a Holy Son Pill, which you can take yourself or give to others. If your contribution is sufficient, you can exchange for another one to give to your family or friends to relieve their pain and suffering." The Ninth Protector took out a box, which was divided into sections, and each section contained a pill.

Everyone said words of gratitude and took one.

The core members swallowed it without hesitation, and under everyone's gaze, everyone seemed to be ten years younger, and their physical condition improved at a rate visible to the naked eye. This was seeing is believing and could not be faked.

There was some commotion at the scene.

The next one was the patient in the wheelchair. He couldn't wait to swallow it. Within ten seconds, he was able to stand up tremblingly, performing a medical miracle on the spot.

The other members couldn't help but exclaim, and their breathing became more rapid.

Sato Tomomi touched her stomach and her inconvenient left leg, and swallowed the pill.

Soon, a warm current reached her heart, and then her stomach and legs and feet felt warm. When she tried to walk again, she was no longer limping.

Sato Tomomi can be considered an elder in the church, but she has not been promoted to the level of core members due to her lack of "dedication". However, other members basically know her and have communicated with her. They know that the main purpose of her conversion is to have a child.

Now she didn't know whether she could get pregnant or not, but the leg that had been lame for so many years was definitely not an act, and it was healed in front of everyone. From that moment on, they all knew that they had encountered a miracle that only happens once in a thousand years.

"President, is my contribution enough to exchange for another Holy Son Pill?" Sato Tomomi first thought of her husband, who had always been in poor health, so she asked the president nervously.

In fact, Nakai Hayabusa had no idea how much merit she had gained from her dedication. Originally, it was just a number of points based on how much money one gave. Now, Shiraishi Kou, who knew about it, was taking advantage of it.

But considering that he is an old member of the company and a member who remits donations regularly every month, his so-called contribution should be considerable.

"Of course, I have seen Mrs. Sato's dedication. Your dedication is definitely enough to exchange for a Holy Son Pill." Nakai Hayabusa said kindly.

Then Sato Tomomi looked at the Ninth Protector, who didn't say anything, but directly handed a pill to her.

Bai Shihang, who was controlling the nine guardians, felt the test subjects who had swallowed the parasites.

It turns out that they can only adapt to the [Rigid Body] ability.

So, the president and security guard I chose can adapt to both abilities at the same time, and they are really talented.

Hmm? No, this woman seemed to be able to barely adapt to the strange power, but the feedback told him that if he forced the adaptation, it might lead to the experiment getting out of control.

Shiraishi Hang decided to observe and observe before making a decision.

The other members who had just swallowed the Holy Son Pill and knew its benefits, after knowing that they could exchange it, also asked the Nine Protectors to exchange it.

However, each person is only allowed to redeem one with dedication merits. Others who are judged not to be pious enough will not be allowed to exchange for dedication merits on the spot by the Nine Protectors, who will be so anxious that they will cry for help from Nakai Hayabusa.

However, Nakai Hayabusa did not dare to go against the Holy Infant's wishes. He just asked him to strengthen his faith. As long as the Holy Infant saw his piety, he would naturally grant him the elixir.

The Ninth Protector had just exchanged all the pills, and then returned to his seat, sat cross-legged, and closed his eyes to rest.

No one dared to disturb him, so a large number of members surrounded the people who had exchanged the pills and the president, trying to exchange money or friendship for the Holy Son Pill.

Sato Tomomi rejected one person after another and guarded the pill tightly.

Seeing that the situation seemed to be getting out of control, the president came to a wall and shouted for everyone to focus their attention.

Then he let out a low shout and punched the wall. With a loud bang, a hole was punched into the thick wall, and cracks spread around it.

Everyone was stunned.

"Didn't you hear the orders of the Holy Infant? As long as you offer your faith, everyone can receive the blessing! I see that some people are even planning to target our fellow members. You can try. Even if the Holy Infant is merciful and does not punish you, I will not let such a traitor go!" Nakai Hayabusa looked around the crowd with sharp eyes. Everyone was shocked, and some of the hot-headed ones immediately calmed down.

Yes, these people are the devout ones designated by the Holy Infant. If I take action myself, I don’t know what kind of terrible divine punishment I will face.

With this thought in mind, no one dared to have any evil thoughts anymore. They could only look at the members who exchanged for the Holy Son Pill with envy, hating themselves for being so unsteady in their beliefs, otherwise they would have had their own share by now.

But there was also a wealthy member who exchanged a portion from another person and took it on the spot. With a few laughs, the originally frail fat man suddenly became a flexible fat man, making others even more envious.

Well, [Rigid Body] has a relatively slight effect on body shaping and cannot be used as a magic drug for weight loss.

Seeing that everyone's attention was diverted, Sato Tomomi breathed a sigh of relief. Thinking that her husband would soon be free from illness and weakness like herself, she couldn't help but smile from the bottom of her heart.

PS. The story in this book takes place in a parallel universe. If there are any details that do not conform to reality, it will further prove my words. Please forgive me. I will ask for anything for this flopped new book.
