The Exorcist

In terms of its nature and function, the 'Flower Club' is likely to be classified as an illegal cult organization - this is Xiaoxia's conclusion after studying limited data.

This made her more curious. It would be fine to say that they are ignorant village women, but they are all women who have been beaten invincibly by society and experience. How many things they have seen and how many storms they have resisted, how can they be so thoroughly brainwashed? , How can you believe these absurd nonsense? !

A woman promised to God?

This world is already smoky, polluted so much that even people despise it, how could a god come here and marry a lot of women who don't even frown at murder and arson! She really can't figure it out!

However, in her opinion, 'Finding Wanli in case of difficulty' is the quickest and most effective way, so she invited him to lunch. After hearing her simple statement, Wan Li was not surprised at all.

"Aren't you surprised?" she asked.

"Why am I weird?"

"But, they are all - very knowledgeable, very smart, very strong people, how could they be fooled?!"

"I haven't heard anyone say that the stronger a person is, the weaker they are. Otherwise, why do more people have psychological problems in more developed places? Besides, a smart head does not necessarily mean a healthy mental health. Maybe their appearance conceals their inner heart. The weakness of human beings is a very complicated thing.”

"Self-knowledge, they should have it, right?"

"Self-knowledge? Never heard of it, I just know I feel good about myself."

"Then what's going on?" Xiao Xia was a little anxious.

"As the saying goes, if you don't have desires, you can be strong. But people have desires. Obsession, greed, and force may blind people to see things as they are. They only see what they want to see, and fall into the trap of others. Many cult organizations adopt mind control in this way, and the more so-called high-ranking people, the easier it is to confuse them."

"Really? Then I have to be careful when I meet Gu Yufang. It would be wrong for her to lead me into a ditch!" Xiaoxia sighed, "If Ruan Zhan is here, I can let him see Gu Yufang If there is black air on the face, you will know if you are bewitched."

"Do you think that bastard is omnipotent?" Wan Li laughed, looking at Xiao Xia thoughtfully, "You miss him, don't you?"

"No!" Xiao Xia blurted out to deny it, but her face flushed red, "I just want him to repay my debt of favor."

She doesn't want to think about Ruan Zhan, but his shadow is lingering in her heart, one by one, unhurriedly, until the loneliness and involvement in her chest are filled, every time she calms down, his figure rushes into her mind Go, remind her that such a man was once by her side.

But he has been away for two months, and the seasons are from early autumn to early winter, but there is no news at all, as if the world has evaporated, making her wonder if she really knew such a person before midnight, or just a It's just a dream.

The blood-wood sword he left her, she can't rest assured wherever she puts it, she always carries it with her. She knew it was his treasure, and she must not lose it. If she was patronized by a thief, and the thief liked this cute bunny candle and took it away, wouldn't it be a big deal!

She thought, his baby is here with her, he will come back to get it one day!

"Will you pay off your Hades debt?"

"I want you to care, you are digressing."

"Okay, okay, let's talk about serious business." Wanli changed the subject, "The incident you mentioned reminds me of a legend."

"What legend?"

"Luohua Cave Girl." Seeing Xiaoxia's expression of incomprehension, Wan Li explained to her, "When my ex-wife and I went on our honeymoon trip, we went to Zhangjiajie, where I heard people tell four legends about Xiangxi, one of which is Luohua Cave girl. The Luohua Cave Girl in western Hunan refers to some unmarried women in the tribe who, at the age of marriage, did not find someone who could entrust them to them for life, so they got a disease similar to depression and entered a state of obsession. According to According to the local saying, this girl has promised herself to God, and she lives in the fantasy of happiness all day long. She is no longer tempted by any secular man. She only carefully protects her beauty and demure, and waits for the auspicious day chosen by God. Come and marry her. When that day comes, the girl will pass away with a smile on her face. People in the tribe also think that she went to marry the tree god and the well god. .”

Xiao Xia listened with gusto, saw Wan Li stop, and urged him to say, "Then?"

"No, it's just a legend. I don't believe it, but many local people firmly believe it. I think your case is very similar to this legend, but whether it is used for mind control will have to wait. You only found out after questioning Gu Yu carefully."

"But—isn't this too strange?" Xiao Xia still couldn't understand, "I can understand being cheated of money, sex, and marriage. The so-called people have mistakes, and horses have messy hooves, but they are talking about promises to God. Wow! Great God! Too exaggerated!"

"I don't know foreign statistics, but according to our own psychological research in China, oriental women all have a desire to be conquered, and when they reach a certain age, they have the mentality to marry, no matter how successful they are. When this mentality changes If it becomes "I must marry myself before how many years old", it becomes a kind of panic, and it will often make big mistakes. Of course, it may also be used by some mind-controlling masters with ulterior motives to give them the wrong psychology Pointing, let them fall into it and cannot extricate themselves. If someone uses superstition to promote it, or even wraps superstition in a scientific cloak to create some illusions, these people who think they believe in facts will be hooked and hooked. You know, there are a lot of successful people who also have another temperament-stubbornness, thinking that they can’t make mistakes. So, with their recognition, they will be more convinced than ordinary people.”

"It's so pitiful!" Xiao Xia exclaimed. She is also a woman, and she can understand that love is all the spiritual food of a woman, and no one can forgive anyone who takes advantage of such a sacred feeling.

"Don't worry, if you want to marry someone but can't find anyone else, I can marry you."

"Then I want a notarization of property before marriage." Good guy! This man pays too much attention to his quality of life. He always makes a fuss about going on a trip all year round without any plan. He spends all his money wherever he goes.

"Why don't you say you can't marry a female lawyer? She's too calculating."

The two looked at each other and laughed at the joke.

"But it's really abominable to use people's feelings like this." Wan Li changed the topic, "I heard a case before, although it was not from a cult organization, it proved that if women's feelings are not satisfied, it is easy to go crazy. There was a movie 'Bridges of Madison County' many years ago, remember?"

Xiao Xia nodded, knowing that it was a movie about the love story of middle-aged people, it was very beautiful and touching.

"There was a middle-aged woman who watched that movie many times, bought many books released at the same time, indulged in it all day long, and later developed into thinking that she was the heroine in the movie, and told others everywhere that it was actually her. story. This is a typical paranoid paranoia caused by unsatisfactory love life."

"Can it be cured?" Xiaoxia's kind heart sympathized with this.

"If it's serious, it's more difficult." Wan Li said honestly, "Besides, you just told me that Gu Yufang might be involved in a cult organization, so it will be even more difficult to deal with. You know that people have a herd mentality. If one person believes deeply, it may drive more people, creating a snowball effect, and it will get bigger and bigger. In the end, the fake is the same as the real, and everyone believes in it, and that is even more terrifying."

"Their 'Flower Fair' is what it looks like from the surface evidence, and from the legal point of view—organizing and using sects, cult organizations, or using superstition to deceive others and cause people to die. So this review and Fang are in bad luck, unless Find out that she is also a victim."

"You mean the Red Flower Club? The one that opposed the Qing Dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty?"

"It's the Flower Festival!" Xiao Xia slapped Wan Li, telling him to be more serious.

"No matter what 'meeting' it is, you want to help Gu Yufang, right?" Wan Li began to worry, "This matter is so evil, don't get into any other supernatural incidents."

"Anyway, I'm an acquaintance, so why don't you let him go."

"You are really a person who heals the scar and forgets the pain."

Xiao Xia didn't speak, but thought of the faint scar on her arm, and wondered if she was in danger, would Ruan Zhan come back?

"Forget it, let me accompany you to find Gu Yufang?" Wan Li said helplessly, "When did you date her?"

"Three o'clock in the afternoon."

Wan Li looked at his watch, "Can't we make arrangements for tomorrow? I have an appointment for a patient in the afternoon!"

"You don't need to accompany me. She is not a monster. If something happens, I will definitely ask you for help."

"Can you really do it yourself?"

"Please, this is my job. Am I so useless that I can't even do my job well? Don't worry, call me anytime."

While talking, Xiao Xia asked the waiter to check out, and suddenly felt someone staring at her. Turning her head, she saw a red-eyed paper crane on the opposite table, its head was facing them straight. Although it was just an origami object, its eyes seemed to be alive, which made her shiver and feel extremely uncomfortable.

"What's wrong?" Wanli asked.

Xiao Xia replaced words with actions, stood up and took the paper crane, threw it on the ground and stepped on it twice.

"A paper crane recruited you again?" Wan Li laughed at her childish behavior.

"I just don't like it, can't I?" Xiaoxia raised her foot, saw that although the paper crane was trampled black and deformed by her, her eyes still looked at it with life, and she went up and kicked hard again, Kicked it out of sight around the corner.

And in that suburban villa, Hong Haohao and a middle-aged man were looking at a water basin on the table, the water surface clearly reflected the scene of Xiaoxia and Wanli in the restaurant.

"She wants to get involved!" Hong said disgustedly, and hated Xiao Xia for no reason in his heart.

"Exactly what I want." The middle-aged man sneered softly.
