The cover of the middle-aged woman's booklet was a "Bone Lady", but it was not Misa or Mizuno himself. Instead, it was a face that Mizuno did not recognize at all. The Bone Lady on the booklet had a hot body, with white bones sticking out of her body. The background was a war-torn city.
However, it was obvious that the Bone Lady and the background were pieced together forcefully. Even the edges had not been sharpened.
At the top of the picture was the name of the church written in golden letters. The golden letters revealed a strong sense of aesthetics of the elderly.
This was completely cosplay combined with shoddy PS to create a picture that was worth fifty cents.
"I really don't know." Mizuno pushed the booklet away and waved his hand to show that he was not interested.
However, the middle-aged woman did not give up. "Young man, don't doubt it. This is God's Revelation. God's Angel descended this time to punish the wicked, but when the Angel descends again, it will punish all non-believers."
Mizuno Sora noticed that there were people around him who took the booklet, and they even looked interested. It was true that there were more than two hundred million believers in Japan. On average, each person believed in two religions.
The people of the island did not have a mainstream religion. They went to the Shintoist shrines and the local Buddhist temples. When they got married, they would also hire a priest. Their attitude towards religion was more or less believing. Anyway, it was free. After the incident with Bone Girl, the faith of the citizens of the Itachi District changed again.
Seeing that Mizuno was about to leave, the middle-aged woman pounced on him. "You'll be in big trouble if you ignore God's Revelation like this!
When the Angel descends again, it will be too late for you to regret it! "
Haibu Sha was shocked by the middle-aged woman's ferocity.
Mizuno raised his eyebrows and was about to push the middle-aged woman away.
Although the Auntie Missionary was usually annoying, she had never been this emotional after being rejected. It seemed that the appearance of Bone Lady had deeply stimulated some people's nerves. Those who had ulterior motives used Bone Lady's hand to forcibly instill bad ideas into their minds.
The clergy rushed out of the shrine to stop the middle-aged woman from handing out the booklets and preaching.
"Get out, this is the Condor Shrine!"
"I've already called the police. They'll be here soon."
"Put her booklet away."
It was a mess in front of the Hall of Worship. The clergy snatched the books from the aunties, and the aunties worked together to stop them and distribute the books.
The aunty who was harassing Mizuno went to fight with an old priest in the shrine with great professionalism.
"Mizuno-kun …" Haibu Sha leaned her arm on Mizuno's side. She looked at Mizuno-kun with a puzzled expression.
"Sorry, I couldn't help but laugh."
Mizuno Sora felt that he was gloating when he laughed at the scene. "I thought they would fight with magic like Harry Potter. I didn't expect that they would fight with no divine power at all. The gods that they believe in are too kind," Mizuno Sora said.
Mizuno laughed as he spoke.
Haibu Sha's expression was still puzzled. But when she saw Mizuno-kun laughing again, she laughed as well to prevent Mizuno-kun from feeling awkward.
So, it turned out that Mizuno-kun was a person who liked cold jokes. It seemed that he needed to read more about cold jokes. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to understand the cold jokes that Mizuno-kun made.
As the war between the two religions intensified, police sirens came from outside the shrine. A few patrolling officers quickly passed through the hall.
"Stop!"
"It's you guys again."
"Come with us."
The members of the shrine acted as if they were saved. The middle-aged women were taken away by the patrolling officers one by one. Before they left, they still had an expression that said, "You don't believe in the religion. You're the one who suffered the loss." It was not the first time they had been arrested. Based on their behavior, it was not a crime. Plus, due to their age, the police did not want to detain them.
After the middle-aged women got into the police cars, they did not stop. Instead, they started to harass the police.
The patrolling officers sitting in front of the police cars were also very depressed. How many batches of women had they arrested?
In the beginning, when they heard that some people believed in Bone Girl and spread it publicly, the police thought that they had caught a big fish.
When they mobilized a large number of manpower and weapons, helicopters, and armored vehicles to the scene, they only caught a group of middle-aged women and brought them back for interrogation. It turned out that it was a cult that had existed for a long time, and they added some extra material to their religion.
And it became more and more intense. After arresting one, there was another. Except for the first batch of middle-aged women who almost had a heart attack because of the helicopter gunfire and did not dare to preach again, the others who were arrested continued to be released, arrested again, and continued to do so. The police in Adachi District were miserable.
After taking the middle-aged women away, the police just symbolically collected the scattered booklets. The patrolling officers did not even look at the booklets in the hands of the passers-by. Some passers-by handed the booklets to the police, while others kept them.
The farce of the middle-aged women just now penetrated into the hearts of many people. The proportion of high education and believing in supernatural powers was not negatively related.
After watching the farce, Mizuno and Haibu left behind the police.
"Mizuno-kun, the Bone Girl that they talked about … really exists?" When the people in the class watched the video on their mobile phones that day, Haibu Sha shrank in her seat and did not join in the fun.
"Maybe." Mizuno estimated that a grown man like him was definitely not a Bone Girl, but Misa should be half a Bone Girl.
"Those middle-aged women said that the Bone Girl would be punished, but I don't believe it …"
Mizuno could not help but laugh, "How can that be? Isn't the Bone Girl a legendary monster that specializes in killing men? Even if one day there is really a monster that dares to attack you, I will personally remove their bones one by one."
Listening to Mizuno's horrifying words, Haibu Sha felt sweet as if she had eaten honey.
Although she knew that Mizuno-kun was joking, but … it was too sweet.
The attached building of the Condor Shrine was the Condor Park, and not far from the park was the Haibu Restaurant. Once again holding Fukuzawa Yukichi in his pocket, Mizuno rubbed his stomach and said, "Do you want to eat something?"
In his previous life, he was an inexperienced straight man. His experience with girls came from movies, dramas, and books.
There was not enough time to watch a movie with Haibu Sha, but having a meal together shouldn't be a problem.
"Eh?"
Haibu Sha had already eaten before going out, but looking at Mizuno-kun's expression, he might not have eaten lunch. She followed Mizuno-kun's words and agreed, "Yes, I'm a little hungry."
"Come, let's go eat." Mizuno strode towards a western-style restaurant. "I knew you were hungry."
"Hey, western-style restaurant, is it … very expensive? Why don't we just find a random place to eat … Ah, I remember there is a chain fast food restaurant just a little further away."
Mizuno directly put the handle of the umbrella on Haibu's arm. "Don't think about saving money for me. I just got my salary, and now I'm a rich man."
