Chapter 876: Cult Saves The World

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

To be honest, I was quite surprised that Professor Bai took the initiative to call and clarify the relationship between him and Fang Xin.

Did I accidentally reveal some information to him? I used the phone modified by Dr. Yu and now I rarely switch to the mode that was monitored by Happy Science. Instead, I stay in safe mode most of the time. I shouldn’t have accidentally revealed that I already know the truth about Happy Science.

Ah… I understand! I thought I was being smart by not using the mode that was being monitored, but that made Professor Bai suspicious! In the past, I could be monitored around the clock, but I was now often in ‘out of service’ areas, which would of course be very suspicious!

“Ye Lin, do you have two phones now? You only turn on the phone we monitored when you go to the washroom. I hope I would be able to listen in to your calls, but I only hear spam calls mixed with the sound of you using the washroom…”

Professor Bai complained to me.

So you even admitted that you were monitoring my phone! Does it not matter if you reveal the details of your organization to me?

Originally, I planned to put on an act and go to Dong Shan Mental Hospital to visit Fang Xin. I would then worship him as an all-knowing leader. Now that Professor Bai took the initiative to call me and admit the truth, it disrupted my plans.

“By the way… Professor Bai, why are you calling me? If you already guessed that I know about you guys, do you still think you could tell me that you aren’t scammers? Aren’t you just using Happy Science to cheat people out of their money?”

Professor Bai coughed, “Excuse me, if we’re simple scammers, how would we be able to deceive all kinds of people? Unlike Mentuhui that deceives people in the rural areas of Northeast China, we didn’t use any threats of violence and were still able to gather many college students, teachers, civil servants, and entrepreneurs in Dong Shan City… that proves that we’re an excellent religion.”

“That’s funny! Why don’t you compare yourself with good religions… you’re an evil cult just like them! I won’t listen to your words! The reason why you could gather so many believers is because you were spying on them through their phones! One of those people being spied on was me!”

“You missed the most important point.” Professor Bai’s tone gradually calmed down, “It’s our calculation program. It has even attracted Buddhist monks to attend our lectures, and your mother Ai ShuQiao is also very interested in it.”

Damn, even Buddhist monks were duped! Ai ShuQiao wanted to get your calculation program, and you found out! Don’t tell me the calculation program was able to calculate that someone was going to make a copy of it! That’s insane!

“Ye Lin, whether you believe it or not, the calculation program written by my son, Fang Xin, can already predict the future to a certain extent…”

“Nonsense! If it’s so awesome, why don’t you predict the lottery! If you win the jackpot, then you won’t have any worries for the rest of your life!”

“Theoretically, it’s possible.” Professor Bai said calmly, “Fang Xin once won a lot of money in Las Vegas with his and was permanently blacklisted by the casino. However, as for Dong Shan City’s lottery, I’m afraid it doesn’t operate completely according to mathematical randomness, and we don’t have enough information to account for human influences.”

In other words, there’s something fishy about the lottery in Dong Shan City, right? I learned about the dark side of society again! It’s society’s fault that I’m becoming less and less pure!

“Ye Lin, it’s easier for us to calculate your future compared to the lottery, like the victor of the fight between you and your mother, and even the impact of the fight on the entire world… come, join Happy Science! Not to deceive us and then steal the calculation program, but to join us sincerely for the sake of human peace. Then you could defeat your demon king of a mother who wants to destroy the world with our help!”

Are you sure it’s okay to make such outrageous remarks? I think I would have to be mentally retarded to believe what you say! I could just drink alcohol to treat my heart disease! Anyway, my brain is already damaged, so I don’t have to worry about the side effects of alcohol treating my disease!

“Professor Bai, although my father taught me not to discriminate against adults and people with mental disabilities, I seriously suspect that you’re just as mentally ill as your son! I advise you to quickly confess your crimes to the police and strive for leniency. If you do a mental evaluation, you might even be able to avoid criminal punishment…”

“Do you really think my son is insane?” Professor Bai laughed coldly without warning, “Can a program written by a insane person calculate the future of many people, or even change their destiny? I can’t even understand the core part of the calculation program as a senior programmer. I still need Fang Xin to escape from the mental hospital from time to time to improve it…”

In this case, why not just live in the mental hospital? I heard that Fang Xin admitted himself to the mental hospital to obtain a space where he wouldn’t be disturbed. Otherwise, since he had family members in Dong Shan City and he wasn’t violent, there would be no reason for him to be locked up in a mental hospital.

“Doesn’t he have intermittent psychosis?” I asked, “I don’t think it’s surprising for him to maintain the program he wrote when he’s not mentally ill?”

“You’re gravely mistaken!” Professor Bai said, “The core part of the calculation program was written by Fang Xin when he was at the most serious stage of his mental illness! He seemed to be a completely different person when he was mentally ill. Even I, as his father, felt strange and frightened. Maybe he was possessed by an alien! Or as he said himself, he’s a vessel used by a high-level god to appear in the real world! The calculation program was simply a gift from God. What a gift to humanity!”

What the hell! The final stage of establishing a cult is to believe in it yourself! Professor Bai, you yourself have become your son’s believer!

At seven o’clock in the evening, a faint blue streak of lightning appeared in the distance. The reason why the color was so strange might be because that it was very far away, maybe it was due to atmospheric scattering, maybe… I mean maybe, it was due to Fang Xin, the son who the professor said was a vessel for gods, wearing a hospital gown from Dong Shan Mental Hospital and standing at the intersection more than ten steps away, waiting for me.

“My son… or whatever is inside him, will tell you the rest.”

Professor Bai ended the call with a chilling sentence.

The scrawny Fang Xin stood facing the wind and moved his pupils towards me with a strange smile on his face.

I shuddered unconsciously, “You… you escaped from the mental hospital again? How can you always escape and always find me?”

I suddenly realized that Fang Xin could determine my location by relying on the GPS of my phone.

So it’s not surprising that Fang Xin found me. What’s strange is that since he was admitted to a mental hospital and became patient No. 113, he shouldn’t be able to escape and wander around the streets at will. nov𝒆lbIn

“Everything has its own rules.” Fang Xin said in a clear and cold voice, “The mental hospital’s schedules and shift changes all follow the rules. As long as you abide by the rules and don’t make mistakes, you can achieve something that seems like a miracle, walking out of prison.”

I think you mean walking out of a mental hospital, right? At this moment, even though I already knew a lot about him, it still didn’t feel any less frightening when I faced him.

“So… what did you come to see me for? Do you think that I will believe in you wholeheartedly and become a die-hard fan of Happy Science? I think you guys are severely underestimating my intelligence…”

“The person you love most will die.” Fang Xin once again threw out his earliest prediction, “That’s the same result reached by me and the calculation program. You can only avoid that tragedy if you follow my my arrangements. And you will also be the final victor in the extremely uneven battle with your mother.”

“Are you kidding me?” I gave him a look of contempt, “You keep saying those same words over and over again… The ‘Akashic Records’ you mentioned several times is actually the calculation program! I almost believed that you were able to get the text message the class leader sent with unscientific means, but it was simply obtained from a database by the calculation program! All the text messages and phone calls that I’ve sent before have been stored on your hard drive! You guys are just a bunch of peeping toms!”

“Hmph, hmph, hmph.” Fang Xin laughed three times, “Ye Lin, don’t you want to know what Ai ShuQiao uses your blood for?”

“Huh? Do you know?” I was shocked.

Fang Xin purposely didn’t answer and asked again: “Ye Lin, don’t you want to know where Su Qiao is being held by Ai ShuQiao?”

“Of course! You could even tell me that too?”

He didn’t answer me, but asked again: “Ye Lin, don’t you want to know when your father and Ren HongLi will get married, if Ren XiaoQin’s father will die of AIDS, and if Shu Sha, your class leader, will attend high school in Shanghai, or even the name of Gong CaiCai first child in the future?”

“What?! You can answer these questions?” I couldn’t believe it, “I think that’s a bit far-fetched? If you can answer all these questions correctly, I will immediately give up atheism, accept you as my teacher, and preach with you all over the world!”
