Chapter 1131: Transfer to the Mountain Altar
Jiang Hongzhi did not express his opinion immediately, as if he was waiting for something.
He did not speak, and the other two deputy commanders looked at each other and did not speak. After a while, the messenger delivered another message.
"Captain, the head of the international investigation team, Klofens Meteora, sent a telegram."
Jiang Hongzhi said, "Send it over."
Soon, the content of the telegram appeared on the screens of everyone present.
The telegram from Meteora first thanked the Dashun delegation for their trust in the international investigation team and for reporting the loopholes in the central city of Serranocha, allowing them to intervene quickly.
Secondly, he thanked Dashun for its support in finding Skarsson, and made it clear that the international investigation team would investigate the incident to the end and would not give up. All the consequences of the incident would be borne by the international investigation team.
After reading it, Jiang Hongzhi said, "When the second delegation came, the naval garrison threatened the delegation with force at the instigation of the New Light Church. Such restless behavior must be severely punished.
I had originally planned to deal with it after negotiating with the federal leadership, but now that the international investigation team has intervened, it would be a good idea for Director Chen to take this opportunity to teach them a lesson."
When Chu Zhixian heard him say this, he adjusted his glasses and said nothing more.
Jiang Hongzhi said to the correspondent: "Send a telegram to Director Chen. We support his actions, but we need to remind him that we have the obligation to cooperate with the investigation team to maintain safety. The purpose of this operation is only to save people. Let him try to restrain himself and not get involved too much."
Tu Haisheng nodded on the side. The reason why the West Coast Party could confront the East Coast Party was not only because of several powerful central cities and a relaxed biological experimental environment, but also because of the existence of various religious sects. They objectively became favorable supporters of the West Coast Party.
The New Light Church is very powerful, with many believers on the west coast of the Federation. It and other large and small sects are very resistant to the management model of the East Coast. This has led to the failure of the East Coast Party's several attempts to bridge the gap between the East and West Coasts, and ultimately led to a situation of confrontation between the East and West parties.
For Dashun, this is a situation they welcome, so it is best not to expand the matter into an unlimited confrontation with the New Light Sect. This would only cause trouble for the East Coast Party and is not in their interests.
Jiang Hongzhi said: "Now let's talk about the second round of negotiations."
Everyone present had a serious expression. This round of negotiations was of utmost importance, as it concerned the future direction of the two countries. If it was unsuccessful, they might have to adjust some strategies, so they had to be cautious. Compared to this, everything else was relatively insignificant.
On the other hand, after leaving Grania Castle, Chen Chuan and his party immediately returned to the station and took a train to the missionary site of the New Light Church in Sannoy Island.
In fact, it would be faster for him to get there alone, but the problem is that since they are working in the name of an international investigation team, they must keep records of their progress, and if there is an intercontinental operation, they must take transportation.
The investigation team itself is based on morality and requires the country to abide by the rules, so first of all they themselves must abide by the rules.
On the way, the person in charge also reported the current situation to the headquarters.
When they got on the train, they received a reply from Meteora, informing them that the top leaders of the international investigation team had held a meeting and would then send letters to countries around the world to inform them of the matter. They were currently given the highest authority to act.
He also asked him to tell Chen Chuan that if any serious consequences were caused during the operation, the international investigation team would bear the responsibility, and if necessary, team leader Meteora would come personally.
After reading the telegram, Chen Chuan nodded slightly. This way, he could be more flexible.
At the same time, he also understood that the investigation team had to do so.
If this matter is not investigated, the investigation team will have no deterrent effect on other countries in the future. Anyone can take action against the investigation team, and the investigation team will no longer be able to fulfill its responsibilities in the future.
On the contrary, if this matter is handled well, it will increase the prestige of the investigation team.
Two days later, at Sannoi Island, Mount Kalupotu, the location of the New Light Sect's sacrificial fire pit.
There are lines distributed on the land outside Mount Kalupotu. If you look down from the air, you can see that these lines form countless irregular abstract shapes. People who understand Tantric rituals can see that this is some kind of special large-scale ritual pattern.
At the top of the mountain, the ground is paved with beautiful and neat white marble, and long columns from the classical era stand on both sides of the road.
At the end is a circular colonnade with ornate carvings, in the middle of which is a fire pit large enough to accommodate several bocce courts.
Right above the center of the fire pit stood a silver-white metal ring, with a faint glow flowing on its surface, as if it had life. In the middle, there was a bright spot of light flickering inside.
The light was bright and pure, as if some kind of sacred being was gazing at everyone, penetrating the flames and reaching the depths of everyone's soul, making people feel an indescribable awe. Thousands of believers dressed in the holy robes of the New Light Church surrounded the fire pit, their robes flickering slightly in the flames, as if coated with a layer of sacred light. Everyone crossed their hands, clasped them in front of their chests, lowered their heads, and looked pious and solemn, chanting loudly songs full of sacred and ancient meanings.
The singing voice floated on the top of the mountain, and at least tens of thousands of believers standing on the next step were immersed in the singing.
After the chanting ended, strong believers came up one after another. Under the expectant eyes of the believers, they continuously poured the alienated creatures and some incomprehensible flesh and blood tissues obtained from the fusion land into the fire pit. The most numerous among them were alienated plants.
As the raging flames burned and the heat waves rolled, it seemed to provide some kind of nutrients to the light above, and the light extended outward and gradually enveloped everyone.
At this moment, everyone present felt that they were surrounded by an extremely comfortable light, so warm that they did not want to leave.
At this moment, suddenly a fanatic look appeared on the face of one of the believers. He raised his head and looked directly at the light. Then smoke began to come out of his eyes. However, he did not seem to feel any pain at all. Instead, he crawled and stumbled towards the direction of the light with an expression of great enjoyment, and then jumped into the fire pit on his own initiative.
As large amounts of smoke and flames came out of his body, it was only a moment later that he was engulfed by the light and fire.
The host of the sacrifice said loudly: "He has been united with the light of truth." He drew a circle on his forehead and sighed: "May the light of truth coexist with them."
Tens of thousands of people said together: "May the light of truth remain with him!"
The New Light Church does not advocate actively merging with the light of truth, although they acknowledge that everyone comes from the light of truth. But truly wise people should be enlightened and gain knowledge from the light, rather than being swallowed up by the truth. Despite repeated emphasis, more and more believers are trying to do so, and the New Light Church does not stop this.
Because in the teachings of the New Light Religion, there is a faint light in everyone's soul. This light is the spark of truth. Through practice and prayer rituals, believers try to gain knowledge and understanding. Then, believers can make this light grow stronger and eventually reach a transcendent state.
But understanding these requires wisdom. If you cannot understand, then you can only burn yourself and become part of the light.
But in order to keep this light bright and shining, we need to obtain enough "treasures" from the world.
What the sect desires most at present is the legendary sacred tree that has been passed down from ancient times in Kawatua. If sacrifices are received from it, the fire of truth will surely receive more nutrients, and every believer will be able to gain more benefits from it.
At this moment, at the foot of the mountain, many tourists are looking up at the sacrificial scene on the top of the mountain and taking pictures from time to time.
The New Light Church has been promoting itself in the Federation and around the world, attracting people's attention by spreading its teachings and displaying the sacred atmosphere of its rituals.
Every day, believers and curious people from all over the world come here to visit. After experiencing the ceremony in person, many people often voluntarily stay and become believers.
Therefore, the followers of the Shin Gwang Church did not reject the onlookers from the outside world. Instead, they regarded it as a great opportunity to spread their doctrines and turned it into a symbol of the Shin Gwang Church and a missionary point for the outside world.
There are three such missionary sites on the west coast of the Federation, each of which is guarded by a secret temple fighter. The Samaruga mentioned by Duruzier is the guard of this sacrificial site.
"That's it..."
Chen Chuan had already arrived at the foot of the mountain at this time, and half of Duruzier's body was floating beside him, controlled by the power of the field.
However, the latter not only looked fine, but could also speak very freely. This scene frightened the tourists nearby, and they all stepped aside to make way.
Some people thought it was a magic trick or a test of some new type of implant, and they looked over with curiosity.
Chen Chuan looked up at the flickering light above and found that it was a flame that was more spiritual. At the same time, he had a feeling that if necessary, this thing seemed to be able to open a crack at any time.
He lowered the brim of his hat and then walked up the mountain path, with the international investigation team following closely behind him.
It was obvious from their attire and actions that this group of people came from a professional organization, and there was a strong official atmosphere, so this action immediately attracted the attention of onlookers and tourists, and sparked a wave of discussion.
Some people started taking pictures with their cameras, some stood on tiptoe to try to see more clearly, and some were guessing their identities and purposes with their companions. Most people had excitement and curiosity on their faces, and they all seemed to be looking forward to what was going to happen.
