4457 The Other Side 426
How could the real Jim so easily make an appearance?!
"Your subordinates surged into my territory and killed several of my disciples. May I ask how I should settle this score with you?" The man's voice on the other end of the line was filled with displeasure, making one feel all the more apprehensive of the calm tone.
Gong Jie furrowed his brow. Initially, he had thought that since Hua Jin and the rest were safely on the way back escorted by Vermillion Bird, he acted confidently in front of Jim. However, for some reason, hearing Jim speak now made his hair stand on end.
"I hate disobedient children." The man on the other end continued to lament, "We've already agreed on a deal. Can't you just fulfill it obediently? Why do you have to play these tricks? I'm really tired of it."
"What do you want?"
Jim said no more. However, through the satellite phone, he could vaguely hear the sound of a loudspeaker echoing through some sort of open space.
"The war in this world has never stopped. It's like looking up at the endless night and never seeing the dawn! After today, tomorrow, those soldiers will rush in and wantonly slaughter us! The souls that die in the hands of those soldiers will become the puppets of those devils! They will tightly hold our souls by the throats. We will no longer have a future! We will no longer have eternal life!"
Immediately after, through the satellite phone, the cheers of the believers and the cries of some women and children could be clearly heard in the open space. The voices came together like a dying song!
"Let us use our lives to pay homage to the great Lord Jesus! He will protect our souls and lead us to paradise! Tonight, everyone will die! If you really love me, please die with me! The government won't let you off for surviving, the armed forces won't let you off, and even the Hurricane Group won't let you off! We'll fight those demons to the death, but please forgive me. Finally, I'll sacrifice all our souls to the dawn of this world!"
The voice obviously came from Jim. His voice was recognizable, high-pitched and powerful.
"Today we all die, but tomorrow he will resurrect us!"
The next second, the satellite phone was suddenly cut off.
Gong Jie had already broken out in a cold sweat.
He immediately grabbed the headset and contacted Vermillion Bird. The Vermillion Bird quickly picked up.
"What's wrong, Young Master Jie?"
"Are you sure you've secured the three hostages and are safely on the way back?" The man continued, "It wasn't the real Jim who came for the transaction. I heard all the believers gathered in some sort of plaza on the satellite phone just then, and Jim seems to be making a declaration."
"The Sacred Temple has a very large plaza. When I left with the three hostages, I saw from afar that there was a very large bucket in the middle of the plaza's podium."
"A bucket?"
"Yeah." Vermillion Bird was told the whole story in a concise manner.
The Sacred Temple was not a big organization, only a few thousand disciples in total. However, while they were rescuing the hostages, a male cultist guarding the hostages actually begged them to take him with them.
"He said that Jim was about to host a holy sacrifice. In that bucket in the square was strawberry juice laced with cyanide. Tonight, Jim will be calling all the believers to gather in the plaza. Everyone will drink that poisonous strawberry juice and commit mass suicide…"
