Chapter 1023: Chapter 911: The Devil’s Invitation

Song Lan was an outright scam artist, yet you were helpless against him.

Because he really knew the God of Life.

Believers longed for the guidance of the God of Life, yet he could achieve it with just a phone call, and "Nothingness" believed that Song Lan could even influence the decisions of the God of Life to some extent.

When question after question was thrown at the instructor, he wavered.

Song Lan easily grasped the instructor’s thoughts.

Steadfast believers were willing to give up their desires for their faith, even to the point of sacrificing their lives, but if they could receive the deity’s attention without sacrificing their lives, no one would be foolish enough to engage in self-harming behaviors.

Moreover, Song Lan subtly mentioned something no believer could refuse—perhaps this was the deity’s test for him alone.

To pass this test required not only courage and unwavering faith but, more importantly, wisdom.

Only wisdom could turn misfortune into fortune in the upcoming calamities.

However, in a sense, the instructor was lucky enough as he probably would never know that in this bar in Lute City, he not only had the attention of two "deities," but also had a pleasant conversation which, in the past, an ordinary person like him would never have dreamed possible.

And this fraudulent act was continuing. This was the first time "Nothingness" personally witnessed how Song Lan stole someone else’s believers.

For this professional scam artist, this was not a difficult task at all.

In the past, many ascetics more unwavering than the instructor had changed their faith under the Devil’s seduction, so much so that his colleagues criticized such behavior in the Church’s scriptures and portrayed Song Lan as the most cunning and dangerous Devil in history.

One of the Devil’s hobbies was to play with human souls and feed on them.

"What do you think is the true meaning of this trial?"

If one were to use the narrative method from the scriptures, the poor instructor had fallen into the Devil’s trap, ensnared in this topic carefully woven by the Devil.

"First of all, I believe a vigilant believer must understand the nature of this war," Song Lan stated.

"The nature of the war... Please enlighten me, sir."

The instructor, without noticing, had changed how he addressed Song Lan from a new recruit to "sir," and his demeanor became more akin to that of a new believer seeking guidance from an elder.

Song Lan was prepared for this. He took out his cell phone and opened the news reports he had collected while waiting in line throughout the day.

The war originated from the troops led by "Hades" declaring war on the Brotherhood, swiftly seizing the capital city Lira of Oasis City, followed by other Rebel Armies responding to the military coup, resulting in the major cities of Oasis falling one after another within a day. In the face of the long-planned Rebel Army, the regular forces of Oasis couldn’t stir any ripples.

If one only looked at these superficial news reports, one would instinctively think that Oasis was now ravaged by war and its people suffering, awakening the desire of those with aspirations to defend their homeland.

There was no shortage of such aspiring individuals in Oasis. The encirclement war that had broken out with the Brotherhood was initiated by the movement of local residents and civil servants. Even though the reform ultimately ended in failure, those who truly cared for Oasis never disappeared; they just had to succumb to the Brotherhood’s influence and turned into secret underground organizations.

This could be glimpsed from Captain Doug’s experiences upon his arrival in Oasis.

When members of these civilian organizations heard of the rescue operations planned by the Law Enforcers, they offered their assistance. Up to now, Captain Doug had fully grasped the intelligence within the "Pig Pen," where a large number of people had fallen into the hands of the Brotherhood by various means.

Then, in front of the instructor, Song Lan opened other video clips, including those recorded by Internet celebrities for social media after the outbreak of the war.

Seeing the orderly lives of the people in the videos, the instructor was stunned for quite a while.

Yet no matter how closely he looked, he could not find any traces of the large cities having endured the ravages of war.

Lira was the main check-in spot for the Internet celebrities, but in all the videos, everything in Lira seemed normal. People went to work, traveled to tourist spots, and venues catering to the wealthy continued to operate as usual. Even some particularly daring Internet celebrities, seeking more viewership, interviewed soldiers from the Rebel Army.

An unexpected answer was right before his eyes.

The real enemy of the Rebel Army was not the government or the regular army of Oasis, but the Brotherhood, a long-standing malignancy.

The instructor said uncertainly, "Perhaps this is just their side of the story."

After all, the reputation of the Rebel Army had been mostly negative over the years.

"But so far, they haven’t laid a hand on the regular army or the civilians. By the way, have you heard of the Neutral Country?"

"The Neutral Country? I know, they withdrew from the Covenant Nation’s agreements."

However, for a soldier who has lived on the outskirts of Oasis City all his life and never left, the biggest impact of this matter was the significant decrease in trade with the Neutral Country, and many of the Neutral Country’s specialties had risen in price quite a bit.

"I’ve been there, the Esinvig Army launched a military coup," Song Lan offered.

"Indeed, that’s the Rebel Army’s tactic," the instructor agreed.
