Heretical Initiation Ritual, Unknown Water

After the Contract Anomalist Skywing destroyed a stronghold of the Eternal Kingdom.

Although they managed to capture quite a few believers from among them.

But those people were all abandoned pawns who stayed behind.

Moreover, those believers all seemed to have been brainwashed; no matter how severely they were tortured or interrogated, nothing could be extracted from their mouths.

This organization is like a huge shadow that has been looming over the land of Australia.

The Investigation Team won't get a good night's sleep until they catch them.

Any country would be terrified of such a mysterious organization operating abroad.

Anomaly Containment Association Contract Anomalist Society is one such organization, but it's an organization that contains supernatural beings. Not only do they not attack ordinary people without reason, but sometimes they also save ordinary people who are attacked by supernatural beings while containing them.

This organization uses bizarre methods to brainwash its followers and is even constantly expanding its recruitment.

The number of victims counted during this period alone is already an astonishingly large figure.

Who knows what such an organization is secretly planning, the missing people, and the countless potential followers who cannot be counted or located?

If these people were to cause trouble, it's unimaginable how serious the consequences would be.

It absolutely cannot be allowed to continue developing like this.

Otherwise, it will surely bring about the downfall of the nation.

The Australia leadership understood this clearly, so they increased their investment in this area, fully supporting the Investigation Team in an effort to uncover the organization from the shadows.

They hid it too well.

There's also a certain method used as an aid, but whenever crucial intelligence is found, it gets damaged or lost due to various problems.

There have even been cases of insiders being killed unexpectedly or assassinated.

The investigation has stalled for a time.

These events also demonstrate just how unscrupulous and powerful that organization is.

Even Australia, a country ranked among the world's top, has been unable to uncover this organization despite its entire national effort.

You can imagine how terrifying this organization is.

After joining the Investigation Team, Mike gained a deep understanding of the horrors of the Eternal Kingdom. Therefore, he offered to infiltrate the organization by using his mother, who was already a believer in the Eternal Kingdom.

This suggestion is dangerous.

He may never return, or he may be brainwashed, controlled, and exploited like his mother.

But if we don't do it, the investigation will remain stuck in a stalemate.

In the end, Captain Ritt agreed to Mike's suggestion.

So Mike pestered his mother, saying that he was bathed in the baptism of the idol every day, that he worshipped the god very much, and that he wanted to believe in the god as well.

His mother, unsuspecting, agreed to let Mike come to the meeting with her.

When they arrive at the base, they will gather at a certain place, and then be led to the base by members of the organization. During this process, they will sit in the back of the vehicle and cannot see the outside scenery.

The journey was very smooth.

None of the questioning or obstruction that Mike had imagined occurred.

When they learned that Mike was also there to join the Eternal Kingdom, they were delighted and let him pass.

In their eyes, joining the Eternal Kingdom was an extremely honorable and fortunate thing.

Seeing the fanaticism of those people, Mike felt even less favorably toward the organization.

If he hadn't had Investigation Team that saw the number of missing and murdered people, perhaps he too would have thought the organization was just a simple cult?

"Mike, you must be good. At the meeting later, the Lord will personally bless you on behalf of God. At that time, you will be watched by God, and as long as you speak your wish, He will help you fulfill it."

"You must pray sincerely so that God can see your sincerity."

Mike nodded in agreement, but inwardly he scoffed. What god? He'd be more like a devil.

But only by eradicating this sect can he save his brainwashed mother.

He had seen countless futures in the crystal ball.

There is only one way to survive.

That is to overthrow this Eternal Kingdom.

Otherwise, when disaster strikes, no matter where he goes, he will not escape death.

The time for the meeting was fast approaching, and someone came to inform them to proceed to the meeting venue.

Mike followed behind his mother, the miniature camera recording everything and transmitting it to the Investigation Team's Headquarters.

The Investigation Team outside also sprang into action.

They increased manpower to check those vehicles and compiled a list of all vehicles heading towards that location.

Perhaps the people of the Eternal Kingdom didn't expect that a spy had infiltrated this meeting and exposed their stronghold.

The Investigation Team dared not alert the enemy.

Although people were sent to the vicinity of the stronghold, they dared not get too close due to the capabilities of the Eternal Kingdom.

The meeting was held in a dark cave.

This is located in a small hill near the agritainment venue. The cave was originally formed naturally, but it was later expanded by the people of the Eternal Kingdom.

Among those attending this meeting, some were already members, while others were new members who had not yet undergone the formal initiation ceremony.

The bishop gave a speech in front of the crowd, which mainly praised how great and powerful God was.

They also discussed what faith in deities could bring them, and even demonstrated it on the spot.

There are many kinds of mysterious powers.

He could easily fool these ordinary people with just one or two of those moves.

The believers gasped in amazement, their faith strengthened, and their devotion to God deepened.

Mike gasped in surprise.

But his eyes subtly surveyed his surroundings.

Where is the One gentleman?

The bishop's sermon ended quickly.

A member nearby brought over a dagger and a basin of water of unknown composition. They took a cup and poured the water from the basin into the cup.

"After swearing your oath to join the Eternal Kingdom, drink the divine water in this cup, then prick your fingertip with a dagger and drip a drop of blood into the altar. You will then become a member of the Eternal Kingdom."

This seemingly bizarre way of joining did not deter these people.

Power, wealth, authority, health, and longevity—each became a lure heavy enough to tempt them, dangling before them to ignite their greed.

They certainly didn't back down; instead, they became even more fervent.

By joining the Eternal Kingdom, they can easily obtain things they could never have before.

Even if Mike didn't know, he would have been tempted by them.

No one can resist the allure of money, power, and immortality.

The believers lined up one by one, drank the water from the cups without the slightest hesitation, then cut their fingers and dripped their blood onto the altar.
