Chapter 1249 Kizaru's Future Journey 29 - Warning Meeting
As time went by, Slott's answers to Harley Quinn's questions became slower and slower, until in the end he couldn't even pronounce his words clearly, completely losing the value of his questions.
The Harley Quinn threw the glass container in her hand to the younger brother beside her and said, "Pry open his brain, take out the brain-eating worms and put them in. After the little thing is full this time, you can use it again next time."
The gang members were used to this and knew the rules well enough that they did not use weapons to pry open the rat's head in front of the top trio, but rather dragged it aside with great ceremony.
They carried out violence behind the backs of civilized people. With a few crackling sounds of skulls, the gang members used the most violent means to smash open the head of the ratman elder.
Slott's left and right brains had been completely eaten, and the brain-eating worms were enjoying the brain stem. The original small worms had been stretched out and grown to about five centimeters.
Pick out the brain-eating worm from the brain stem and carefully put it back into the glass container. After this feast, this little life will not need to eat again for a short time.
The image of white worms gnawing at her head emerged in Gwen's mind, which made her feel a chill. In order not to think too much, she took the initiative to ask: "I have never heard of the Warning Society. Is this also a gang organization?"
Harley Quinn just found it funny that the eldest lady of the upper world was extremely ignorant of the lower world.
For her two college roommates, she ventured into the underground world and got in touch with a group of psychopaths in the Warning Society. Harley Quinn felt that the compensation was too little and wanted to ask her employer to increase her salary.
"Strictly speaking, the Admonition Society is classified as a cult by the Empire. It is a group of lunatics who like to speak ill of the Empire. I suspect your friend has a serious problem."
Although Harley Quinn is a mental patient and a member of the crazy women, she does not want to provoke another group of crazy people unless it is necessary, and she warns that there will be no normal person from top to bottom.
The Admonition Society is a cult organization that has emerged in the past decade. Its doctrine is to promote the hypocrisy of the Holy Roman Empire, interpret history in its own way, and believe that everything in the empire was built on deception, and incite believers to rebel against the empire.
If the great rebellion succeeds, overthrows the corrupt rule of the empire, and kicks the queen off the throne, the believers of the Order of the Admonition will usher in true salvation, be watched by the gods, and escape all the sufferings of the world.
The doctrine spread widely in the vast underground world and gained a large number of believers in a short period of time. Obviously, the speed of attracting believers was too fast, which aroused the vigilance of the Joker Gang.
The Clown Gang leaders were absolutely right in their guesses, a cult is a cult, even if it is disguised as a rebellion against the empire, it cannot conceal its true nature as a cult.
Through the corruption of words and spirits, they seduce the darkest emotions in believers' hearts, causing them to do things beyond common sense, and finally causing physical distortion.
When the believers of the Society of the Warning spread their faith, they would cover their bodies in black robes to prevent outsiders from knowing about their mutated bodies.
They are corrupted from both the mental and physical aspects and can no longer be called human beings. Gang members stay away from such cultists.
If they find someone preaching in their territory, they will immediately notify people to surround and kill them, and finally burn the bodies of the believers of the Church of God, as if these people had never been there.
The individual combat power of the believers after their bodies have been deformed is far superior to that of the gang members who usually act arrogantly. In a one-on-one fight, the gang members don't even have a chance to survive.
It would be best if multiple people used light weapons to surround and use bullets to educate and warn the believers of the society. Even if carbon-based creatures have strong vitality, they will still be shot into sieves if there are enough bullets.
There are many different cults in the underground world, and it is difficult to completely eliminate each one. The Joker Gang can only control the purity of their own territory and prevent foreign cults from polluting their territory.
Harley Quinn had heard before that the Warning Society was developing believers from the upper world, wanting to corrupt the upper world from within, and through internal and external alliances, liberate cities and disintegrate the imperial rule.
Unexpectedly, the rumors were true. Miss Gwen's two roommates must have come into contact with the believers of the Warning Society, and might even have been developed into believers.
"I suspect that your two good sisters were willingly brought to the underworld by their fellow believers. If they were really brainwashed by the cult, it would not be easy to become normal people again." The meaning of Harley Quinn's words was very clear. She wanted to persuade Gwen to give up her bestie and enjoy her own life.
"They dare to spread the cult blatantly. Have the administrators of the upper world never noticed?"
Gwen still has a bit of the innocence of a college student. She has little contact with the outside world before leaving school. She is usually well protected by her father, a high-ranking official, and rarely comes into contact with the dark side of the empire.
The reason why Spider-Woman is so popular in the upper world is that she has all the characteristics of a street hero and usually does small good deeds.
Fighting off robbers, helping old ladies cross the street, shutting down unscrupulous factories, saving women who are about to be defiled, etc., are just small things in the eyes of big shots.
Although the emotional value given is sufficient, Spider-Woman cannot change the big practical problems. Gwen’s abilities are not strong enough, and her mind is not mature enough.
The criminals she solved were all on the edge of the law, but there were no laws in the underground world. It was a place forgotten by the empire, the empire's garbage dump, the empire's sewage pool, the empire's mines, and so on.
"I have seen many cults that are even more extreme than the Warning Society. There are so many cults in the underground world that it is hard to count them. The top leaders of the empire have a laissez-faire attitude."
The Empire does not care about the rampant growth of cults in the underground world. If they can really raise a cult that can break through the shackles of the underground world, they will face the iron fist of the Imperial Army.
The powerful Imperial Army will chop down all cults. Harley Quinn has witnessed up close how powerful those soldiers are. In the face of true strength, the cults cannot make any waves.
"I will not give up on my friends. If they really go astray, I will cure them even if I send them to a mental hospital." Gwen is really a bit of a saint when it comes to being stubborn.
However, what she said made Harley Quinn roll her eyes. Is the mental hospital set up by the Empire a place for people to stay?
It is possible that it is even more terrifying than the cult's base camp. No, it is not possible. The lunatics locked up in the mental hospital are all talented people, and even the Imperial Army needs to guard the gate and watch over them personally.
Gwen didn't know much about the situation in the Imperial Mental Hospital, and what she said was a little naive and subjective. Harley Quinn didn't want to destroy a girl's worldview for the time being.
After getting clues from the rat elder, we can follow the clues and investigate the cult from the Warning Society.
Once in a while, the believers would gather in large numbers to hold grievance meetings, talking about the darkness and cruelty of the empire and how the empire persecuted them.
Harley Quinn can take the upper-class trio, disguise herself and blend in with them, and maybe have a chance to meet Gwen's brainwashed best friend.
A good way to deal with a cult is to find another cult. Only people in the same cult know the shortcomings of their peers and understand the specific details better than outsiders.
