Vol 2 Chapter 984: brainwashing

the other side.
One day later, in the meeting room of the Truth Club Deran branch, Richard met the rushed supervisor Rommel.
This time Rommel did not hug the rabbit as before, sitting directly in the seat, and asked to Richard: "St. Louis City mission completed?"
"It's done." Richard nodded, found the transcribed "Void Book" from his arms, put it on the table, and pushed it in front of Rommel. "This is the first half of the book I'm looking for. It's the original, according to the agreement. , I’ll exchange for the next half of the book."
"Very good." Rommel nodded, took a brief look at the Book of the Void, and put it away. There was no wordiness, and a hand turned over and took out a similar "Void Book" and handed it over.
Compared with the St. Louis City book, this book has a darker cover and a purplish black color. The St. Louis City book is dark blue.
While handing over the book, Rommel made a meaningful noise and looked at Richard: "Wizard Richard, I hope you are the last to make a request for violations. After all, you have violated the organization regulations several times. I hope you get this "Book of Void", and after studying it, you will really understand that you have been taking a branch of the road and come back to the main road early."
"I hope so." Li Cha responded blankly.
Speaking, after taking the second half of "The Book of Void", I didn't want to stay at all: "So, if there is nothing else, the supervisor, I will leave first."
When the words fell, nodding was a farewell, standing up and walking towards the door.
As the result approached the door, Rommel's voice came from behind, screaming, "Wizard Richard, please wait a moment."
Ok?
Richard stopped walking, frowned slightly, then frowned, then looked at Rommel without changing his face, and asked, "Supervisor, what's the matter?"
"Nothing." Rommel stood up and walked slowly to the side-by-side position. "I just think that we have a little communication. As an excellent member of the branch, although you have not yet entered the core layer, but the ability, The potential is very good, I think it is necessary to talk to you more. Did you know that our organization is actually very concerned about the members, but... I have been a bit busy recently during this time, and I just ignored this. "
After a pause, Rommel said: "Well, if you are not busy, go out with me."
After glancing at Rommel, Richard turned his head around, and was really not sure what the other party's purpose was, so he nodded cautiously, "Okay."
Rommel smiled and took the lead to walk out of the meeting room door.
Then cross the long corridor to the base exit and go out.
...
Outside the base, there is a vast field with many plants growing.
Richard followed Rommel forward. Rommel remained silent and did not speak. He couldn't guess the other person's mind at all and was a little wary in his heart.
After walking a few tens of meters, Rommel suddenly stopped and looked forward.
Richard looked down and saw a squirrel appearing on a stone a few tens of meters away. He was carefully looking around, as if to investigate the environment and look for food.
Squirrel's head turned around and looked over, and found him and Rommel, and immediately squeaked with a scream, his legs stretched, and quickly fled away.
Rommel looked at it, and when he lifted his hand, a crystal ice cone of more than ten centimeters was thrown out. Instead of killing the squirrel, it was accurately nailed in front of the road where the squirrel escaped.
Frightened, the squirrel suddenly turned its direction and ran to the left.
"call out!"
Rommel threw out another crystal ice cone, stopping the squirrel from fleeing.
The squirrel was surprised again, shifting direction the second time and ran to the right.
"call out!"
Rommel threw out a third crystal ice cone to stop the squirrel.
At this time, the squirrel had only one direction left to run, and in this direction stood Richard and Rommel.
As if he understood the bad situation, the squirrel looked at it, and squeaked in desperation for a few times. Then his body stiffened and fell to the ground.
Suicide? Scared? Richard couldn't help thinking.
Rommel around him suddenly laughed and said, "It's pretending to be dead."
"Pretend to die?"
"Yeah, pretend to be dead." Rommel walked over with a smile, reached up and grabbed the squirrel's tail, lifted it, took a few glances in front of his eyes, and then put it on the ground.
The squirrel, which had closed its eyes, carefully opened his eyes, looked at it, and moved quietly towards the distance. Waiting for a distance, I felt that Rommel and Richard could no longer see them, and ran wildly, disappearing into the field soon.
"See it, it's pretending to be dead." Rommel watched the squirrel leave and said to Richard, with some admiration, "I have to say that this is a very intelligent animal, with the wisdom not to lose to human children. But also understand that although they are clever, they still have limitations."
Richard listened and looked at Rommel with his heart. He had a hunch that what Rommel would say next was the point.
Sure enough, the next moment I heard Rommel say: "Wizard Richard~EbookFREE.me~ Do you know, like the squirrels just now, they can never really understand what the world is like. Because they no longer Smart, just a squirrel, not a person.
If they want to understand what the world looks like, the quickest way is not to explore slowly, but to find a human wise man, try to communicate with each other, ask each other, and then understand everything the other person says. "
"In a sense, are we not a squirrel?" Rommel continued, "but we are stronger. Wizard Richard, I told you, I have seen many smart people. But no matter how many they are Smart and limited eyes are limited. And one must see one's own limitations, recognize one's own limitations, one's own limitations, one can embrace a greater existence, do you understand what I mean?"
At the end, Rommel looked over seriously.
Richard blinked and looked at Rommel and asked: "The so-called greater existence refers to the god?"
"Hah." Rommel smiled, and then became serious again, "It can be said. Of course, from our organization's point of view, it can also be called absolute truth."
"Absolute truth?"
"Yes, absolute truth—absolute, error-free truth is our ultimate pursuit. I hope that one day you can pursue it wholeheartedly, then you will become a core member of the organization."
"Wizard Richard, think about my words when you go back, and hope that some of your ideas will change when you meet next time." Rommel turned his head to Richard and said nothing more. As a golden light soared across the sky, skimmed the sky and disappeared to the northwest.
Richard watched Rommel disappear, withdrawn his gaze, pursed his lips, and said to himself: "Brainwash? Missionary? Huh..."
