A priest who is the Pope is the supreme leader and spiritual authority of the entire country, above all laws and rules, a dictator like a king or emperor, a figure like Hitler.

Below the Pope is the core Council of the Jehovah Church, Council members are senior clergy who hold power in the state below the Pope Church.

A speaker is elected from among them, who then serves as the Vice Chairman of the government, responsible for the execution and management of specific affairs, and directly accountable to the Pope, holding a position equivalent to that of a prime minister.

Aside from the Pope, members of parliament, and Vice Chairman, the core strength of the Church lies with the Jehovah Clerics, who constitute the highest military force.

Having experienced the World War III, which nearly destroyed the Earth, the Pope believed that human emotions were the root cause of war. Therefore, at the beginning of the founding of the nation, he ordered the development of a drug called "Bosean" that could suppress human emotions. As long as it was injected on time every day, it could maintain a state without emotions.

They lived a cold, numb life, devoid of joy, anger, sorrow, or happiness, and devoid of desires, only knowing how to obey orders.

With constant brainwashing and control over people's thoughts, the Church's rule became even more secure.

At the same time, in order to completely eliminate emotions and firmly control all its subjects, the Church classified having emotions as Emotion Crime. Music, books, games, artworks, pets, and other items that could evoke human emotions were all listed as prohibited items. Once discovered, they would be destroyed on the spot, and those who possessed prohibited items would be directly punished for Emotion Crime and burned at the stake.

Nevertheless, many people were unwilling to be injected with "Bosean" and become emotionless zombies. They secretly stopped using "Bosean" and carefully hid their emotions at all times. These people gradually united to form Resistance Organization and attempted to resist the Church's dictatorial rule by force.

In order to deal with these Emotion Crime possess feelings, yearn for freedom, and pose a threat to the Church's authoritarian rule, the Church has formed an exceptionally powerful armed force: the Jehovah Clerics!

They were few in number, but each of them possessed astonishing strength.

Possessing top-notch talent, they underwent rigorous and systematic training, mastering a profound and powerful combat skill: Gun Fu!

It is a powerful combat technique that uses firearms as the primary means of attack and incorporates close-quarters combat skills, allowing for the inflict of damage on enemies from a variety of incredible angles and distances.

Through extensive shooting experiments and statistical principles, the ballistics and enemy positions in gunfights can be summarized by statistical models, accurately predicting the geometric distribution of the enemy and the trajectory of the bullets. Based on this scientific theory, various shooting and fighting techniques have been integrated to form this Gun Fu that includes shooting, kendo, and martial arts.

By precisely calculating movements, the attacker can launch attacks that deal the most damage from the position that minimizes personal injury, and can shoot into any blind spot around them, thus increasing the power of bullets.

Centered on its own body and using the prototype geometry as a planar reference, all possible attackable positions around it are calculated, and every possible attack direction around the body can be hit, thus serving as both an offensive and defensive means.

By combining martial arts with marksmanship, and further integrating statistics to calculate shooting trajectories, both accuracy and evasion rates are greatly improved.

Each versatile move can unleash its maximum killing range, delivering a fatal blow and defeating the largest number of enemies.

On the defensive side, it can dodge and counter traditional ballistic trajectories.

By skillfully employing this technique, the weapon's shooting power will increase by at least 120%, and its lethality will increase by 63%, making the Jehovah Clerics who has mastered Gun Fu a formidable and invincible opponent.

These Jehovah Clerics, with their formidable fighting prowess, are the most solid guarantee for maintaining the Church's rule. Their primary task is to apprehend emotional offenders, eliminate these threats and hidden dangers beyond the Church's control, and uphold the Church's dictatorial rule.

Their status and role were equivalent to the Ming Dynasty's Imperial Guards, wielding immense power, second only to the Pope, members of parliament, and Vice Chairman of the Church.

However, the long-term brainwashing and continuous injections of the emotion-suppressing drug "Bosean" have made them ruthless yet extremely loyal to the Pope and the Church. They only know how to obey the orders of the Church's leaders and eliminate emotional prisoners.

Even if they are their own relatives, they will obey orders to arrest or even kill their family members if the Church gives the order.

Like those civilians who have been injected with "Bosean" for a long time and brainwashed, they have lost their own thoughts and have become tools in the hands of the Church's rulers.

The Pope, Vice Chairman, members of parliament, and Jehovah Clerics form the power pyramid of the Church, firmly holding the reins of the country.

Below the Church are the government and the military. The government is responsible for managing all kinds of affairs in the country, while the military, in addition to guarding the Church and government institutions and maintaining national order, is mainly tasked with helping the Church suppress civilians, assisting priests in clearing out Emotion Crime and resistance forces, and maintaining the Church's dictatorial rule.

The government and the military are completely controlled by the Church.

The common people at the bottom of society live under the oppressive and dictatorial rule of the Church.

Minors who enter Church schools to receive brainwashing education from the Church have a duty in addition to studying: to monitor those around them, including strangers, classmates, siblings, and parents. If they discover that someone has emotions or has committed Emotion Crime, they will be reported directly, regardless of whether it is a parent or sibling. The person who is reported will ultimately be cremated!

Under the control of "Bosean," everyone lost their emotions and thoughts, becoming walking corpses under the rule of the Church, working and living numbly, and being brainwashed by the Pope's speeches every day.

Those who secretly stopped receiving the "Bosean" injections and regained their emotions and thoughts had to carefully conceal the fact that they had emotions, and were constantly on guard against soldiers, priests, everyone around them, and even their families.

Because apart from the military and clergy making large-scale arrests of people with emotional problems, those who have been injected with "Bosean" do not grieve over the death of their loved ones. They only know how to act according to the Church's orders. As long as they discover that someone around them has emotions, no matter who that person is, they will expose and report them.

People without emotions live numb, zombie-like lives, while those with emotions live under constant white terror, never knowing when priests will come knocking and take them away.
