"Their priests from the True God Church swindled all our money and our food."

"I don't know how much you've been scammed, but you should get away from the True God Church as soon as possible."

"There is no Ursus True God; they are all frauds."

Listening to the villagers' passionate accusations, even these two believers in the True God Church couldn't help but waver.

Just as the villagers were angrily gathering around Malken, trying to vent their discontent and anger, a loud and clear voice suddenly came from the village entrance.

The sound didn't come from excited shouts in the crowd, but was amplified through a loudspeaker, cutting through the noise so that everyone could hear it clearly.

"Resolutely resist cults and jointly build a harmonious homeland."

"The Reunion Movement reminds you to open your eyes and recognize cults."

"If you encounter any illegal cult members, please contact the Reunion Movement immediately."

As the loudspeaker blared, a group of Reunion Movement members in white uniforms appeared at the village entrance.

Their steps were synchronized, their expressions serious, and each member exuded unwavering determination and strength.

He gives the impression of being a good person at first glance.

Chapter 171 The Deceitful God Even Teaches His Victims a Lesson. (39)

Village entrance.

With the arrival of the Reunion Movement, the villagers' attention was gradually drawn to Reunion Movement members.

Especially after the Reunion Movement hung up a red banner that read "Resolutely Resist Cults and Build a Harmonious Homeland."

The villagers gathered around as if by prior arrangement.

They had never heard of the Reunion Movement, but they had just encountered cults and had even been deceived by them.

Now that a group of people has emerged to fight against cults, people will naturally feel a sense of familiarity and identification with them.

"The Reunion Movement? What are you here for?"

A burly villager broke the silence first. He saw a man standing at the front of the group with his hands on his hips, clearly the leader, so he took the initiative to go forward and ask him.

Luo Chen glanced at the guy who had asked him the question.

It was Brandon, the same person who had been a staunch believer in the True God just the day before yesterday.

However, a few days ago, Luo Chen wore a mask and used someone else's voice.

So even when Brandon stood right in front of Luo Chen, he didn't recognize the guy who had run off with all their supplies.

Luo Chen answered calmly:

"We are Reunion Movement upholds justice and the law."

"We have discovered an extremely malicious cult operating in the vicinity. In order to cut off the cult's space for activity and curb their arrogance..."

"We have decided to hold a public anti-cult lecture."

"To teach people about cults, how to prevent them, and how to combat them."

"..."

"In order to protect our common home, we will definitely implement the policy of eliminating cults and mobilize all villagers to jointly prevent cults from harming us."

Brandon, standing to the side, felt a strong resonance upon hearing Luo Chen's words.

He recalled how he had been misled by a cult some time ago, wasting a lot of time and money, and couldn't help but feel a pang of regret.

Brandon looked up at Luo Chen, his eyes brimming with regret.

He covered his face in anguish, as if trying to hide his inner pain and regret beneath his hands.

"If someone had stood up for me like you sooner and taught me to see the truth, I wouldn't be in this situation today."

Upon hearing this, Luo Chen's lips twitched slightly.

Fortunately, FrostNova was afraid of being recognized and didn't dare to enter the village. If she had heard these words...

She would definitely ask in return:

Am I even human?

Didn't I warn you?

Luo Chen suppressed his barely perceptible smile, instead adopting a serious expression, his brows furrowed:

"Have you all been deceived?"

"Yes...we were all deceived." Brandon nodded, a pained expression returning to his face.

However, Luo Chen's expression was even more pained. He stamped his foot in regret, as if all the responsibility had fallen on his shoulders.

"If I had arrived a day earlier, perhaps you wouldn't have suffered such harm."

Brandon was deeply moved by Luo Chen's stomp.

This young man who does charity work is truly a kind person.

After a while, the podium for the speech was set up.

Luo Chen calmly stepped onto the platform, stood there, and looked down at the villagers with their various expressions.

"Let me introduce myself first. I am Luo Chen, the commander-in-chief of the Lungmen branch of the Reunion Movement."

"I've come here today to help you."

"I have just learned about your situation from the victims, and to be honest, I am deeply saddened."

"The problem of cults is extremely thorny, not only in rural mountain villages, but even in big cities Lungmen."

"However, rest assured, I have considerable knowledge of cults and have identified several of their characteristics."

"Let me first introduce some common characteristics of cults."

"1. Using religion, qigong, or other names to establish, deify, and promote leaders."

2. Using methods such as creating and spreading superstitious fallacies to bewitch and deceive others.

3. To develop and control members in order to achieve goals that harm society.

"4. Most of them use the guise of spreading religious doctrines and saving humanity to spread rumors, and usually have a self-proclaimed enlightened leader or priest with supernatural powers."

"..."

The villagers were initially suspicious of Luo Chen, this uninvited cadre from the Reunion Movement.

However, when Luo Chen summarized the characteristics of cults...

They were immediately convinced.

The True God, the priests performed miracles, and developed control over the Cautus women who did not believe in themselves.

Isn't this exactly what we've encountered?

This person is quite capable.

As a result, the villagers gradually listened more and more attentively, and more and more people came to listen to the lecture.

At the same time.

Outside the village, a dense forest became the hiding place for FrostNova and the Yeti Squad, where they quietly lurked among the shadows.

Sunlight filtered through the sparse leaves, dappling the ground and adding warmth to the tranquil grove.

However, FrostNova and the members of the Yeti Squad had no time to appreciate the beautiful scenery; their eyes were all focused on the figure giving a speech at the village entrance.

"... Commander Luo actually started lecturing the victims?"

The Big Bear's eyes were wide open.

He opened his lips for a long time but couldn't make a sound.

These villagers' assets are still stored in Luo Chen's camp, yet he, the culprit, shows no remorse whatsoever.

Instead, they came to educate the villagers about the common knowledge of cults.

This is too weird.

Even cults would call Chief Luo "evil" when they see him.

Yangge had no idea how the cult members felt when they saw Luo Chen.

But his hands and feet were already ice-cold; he felt terrified.

You should know that when they first met Luo Chen, they thought he was a saint.

But now, it's questionable whether Luo Chen is even human.

Because no normal person could do such a thing.

Petrova, however, thought differently from them, prioritizing the feelings of the cult and the villagers over their own.

She was more concerned about FrostNova's love life.

Anyone could see that FrostNova had a crush on Luo Chen, this saint (X), and this person (√).

Ke Luo Chen is clearly a very strange guy.

I wonder how my older sister will feel around him.

Thinking of this, Petrova wanted to ask FrostNova what she thought:

"Big sister, don't you think Chief Luo went a bit too far?"

"Even if the goal is to help villagers recognize the cult, shouldn't a gentler approach be used instead of swindling them out of all their wealth?"

FrostNova expressed her confusion regarding her statement:

"How can this be called a scam?"

"The True God Church is a fraud; we are Reunion Movement to combat the True God Church."

"If the food and supplies are left in their hands, they will eventually be swindled away by the cult. Chief Luo, why don't you hold onto them for now? Isn't that a win-win situation?"

"I think Luo Chen's actions were amazing."

As she said this, FrostNova's tone rose two syllables.

"..."

The Yeti covered their heads, unsure of what to say.

Is this what they call being love-struck?

On the platform at the village entrance.

Luo Chen's lecture was also drawing to a close.

"In short, cults employ endless methods, and their harm is impossible to guard against."

Even if you remember everything I teach you today, you will still be deceived by cults again in the future.

Luo Chen's words stirred up the villagers' anxiety.

Even if they have nothing now, no one wants to have their family fortune swindled.

"What should we do then?" a villager asked, his voice trembling.

Luo Chen slowly opened his mouth and said:

"This is the main point we'll be discussing next."

"The best way to avoid being deceived by cults is to thoroughly eradicate the conditions that breed cults, leaving them nowhere to take root."

Luo Chen's words were simple, but to the villagers they sounded as incredibly difficult.

Brandon interrupted Luo Chen directly:

"Chief Luo, you just said that cults are all organized. We are just ordinary people. How can we break into their territory? How can we fight against them?"

"We don't have any organization either."
