"Why was this happening?"
Just as Emlyn White was hesitating over whether to pray to the Fool, Mr. A was questioning his entire life in a safe house in the Eastern District.
As a seasoned Beyonder who had been a Shepherd for many years, he had his own Acting Principles as well.
A Shepherd meant, "All living beings are the Lord's lambs, and I tend the masses on the Lord's behalf." This was also the origin of the word "pastor."
Thus, Shepherd was one of the few Extraordinary Sequences whose acting method had nothing to do with its Beyonder Abilities.
Shepherding Beyonders brought him no potion feedback. Instead, he received considerable feedback when he developed believers and expanded his religion.
Just as with ordinary sheep herding, only the dumbest shepherds constantly cracked their whips and drove their flock onward. Smart shepherds cultivated "lead sheep" to guide the flock and raised "sheepdogs" to protect it.
The lead sheep were those who actively believed in the Lord and led other lambs to believe in Him as well, while the sheepdogs were the Beyonder forces that protected the believers.
To make the flock obedient, one first had to feed the lead sheep. Once the lead sheep received benefits, they would become objects of envy for the other lambs. Those lambs would also want to become lead sheep and obtain benefits, so they would obediently follow their lead.
However, at some point, the entire shepherding process he had developed seemed to have stopped working.
It was not because the lambs had changed their mindset, but because the wolves circling them had become more cunning and more vicious.
The sheepdogs he had cultivated were utterly incapable of resisting the wolves' attacks, which made him feel terribly miserable.
