For the original "Wayne\
,"The study room at home is actually a very scary place.
And now this Wayne,
I opened the long-closed study and rummaged through it for a while.
Sure enough, I experienced the same great terror.
Mr. Constantine was a Puritan, politician, and doctor of law during his lifetime.
So the books in his study,
In addition to books related to the Holy Scriptures and various serious literary and philosophical works,
What remained was a large, dark mass of legal books of all kinds.
Just flip through a few more pages.
It can make people's head hurt just by looking at it.
The laws of the American Federation are extremely complex.
The federal government and each state within it have their own constitutions, laws, and regulations.
In addition, each county or town will have its own local laws and regulations.
For example, some things may not be illegal in this state.
But in another state or town, it might be a felony.
What’s even more terrifying is that America’s legal system is inherited from the Kingdom of Windsor and is the so-called “case law”.
When judges are conducting trials, for cases that violate the same legal provisions, they basically need to make decisions based on existing precedents unless there are special circumstances.
That is to say,
In addition to being familiar with basic legal provisions, legal practitioners also need to collect and understand a large number of precedents in a timely manner.
Not only do you have to memorize the text, but you also have to write down the after-class exercises.
Anyway, Wayne roughly flipped through the legal books on the bookshelf in the study.
I think bullets are better...
So he finally took out the thickest-looking Holy Scripture.
Take it to the living room and read it as a historical book.
In theory,
The original "Wayne", who grew up in a believer family and was influenced by it, should have been basically familiar with the contents of the Bible.
But in reality,
After the original owner had been exposed to the teachings, he didn't remember the contents at all...
Now Wayne is flipping through the Bible again.
Looking at the content inside, I actually found it quite fresh.
…
Some things actually attract people gradually:
——Once you accept that setting, it seems to start to become interesting.
The so-called "Holy Scriptures" are similar.
If we leave aside the element of religious belief, it is essentially a collection of myths or fables, as well as some celebrity deeds and classic quotations, as well as various inspirational quotes and philosophical sentences that seem to be applicable to various real-life situations.
Some of the stories and short paragraphs that can be used for editing,
It’s actually quite interesting.
When it was time to have dinner, Wayne skipped all the inspirational quotes and religious advice.
The plot has been directly traced back to the "Doomsday Judgment" section.
I don't know why.
In many different religions, there seem to be concepts like "doomsday" or "end of the world".
The Holy Scriptures, which are regarded as classics by both the Holy See and the Holy Spirit Church, are no exception.
According to what it says,
Sooner or later, a world-destroying disaster will befall this world.
Then the world ends,
Those who should return to the Holy Spirit should return to the Holy Spirit, and those who should be reduced to ashes should be reduced to ashes.
A story segment like this,
Wayne had seen a lot of things in the modern society in his previous life, watching TV dramas or playing games.
So as he turned the pages, he felt that he had roughly guessed what would happen next.
The content of the next page is probably about the Holy Spirit showing His power and miracles.
Then peace and tranquility were restored to the world...
Huh?!
Why is the next page blank?
After telling the story of the Last Judgment, the story in the Holy Scripture just ended? !
Just let the real world be destroyed.
Aren't you going to rescue him?
At least give a happy ending like "saving all living beings" or "rebuilding the Ark".
Wayne returned to his study and flipped through several other versions of the Bible, and found that other contents might be different.
But when it comes to the finale of "Judgment Day", almost all versions are exactly the same.
——When a disaster strikes, everyone is doomed.
What a bad ending story.
At this time, Lina seemed to be knocking on the pot at the kitchen door and calling for help, indicating that Chef Parker had prepared dinner.
Wayne put the few copies of the Holy Scripture he had taken out earlier back into the bookshelf.
Left the study and went to eat.
…
Then at the dinner table, Wayne couldn't help but ask his doubts:
“Why does the plot of the Holy Scripture end at the Last Judgment?
"Are there any subsequent plots or other versions of the ending according to other sects or Beyonders?"
Inissa seemed uninterested in such stories. She just shook her head and ate.
Lina thought about it:
"According to the Truth Church, the 'end of the world' is actually a disaster caused by the Holy Spirit. But you will definitely not see such a thing in the Holy Scripture.
"Besides, the term 'doomsday' actually means 'ending'. In any case, according to the Truth Church and the Life School, the gods will fall one after another when the doomsday comes. This is basically what everyone writes, so I don't think there is any big problem."
“Hmm…”
Wayne seemed to understand, and then began to think divergently:
"I wonder if we can continue the story ourselves? At least make up an ending like 'the disaster is over, and the world has returned to peace and tranquility'. That way it at least doesn't seem so tragic."
"If you add to or tamper with the Holy Scripture without permission, be careful that you may be arrested as a heretic by the church."
As Lina spoke, she made a provocative expression:
“And you actually said that ‘believers will return to the Holy Spirit at the end of the world’ is a ‘tragic’ ending.
"You, a fake believer, have finally revealed your true colors."
Wayne chatted with her, "This is the spirit of academic research, okay? All students who graduate from our seminary are like this."
"You? Seminary?" Lina looked puzzled. "There is a seminary in your town?"
Wayne then told the story of his admission to George and Anna College.
I briefly told them about it.
Lina and Inissa both seemed a little surprised.
Inissa asked, "When are you leaving for school? Since it's on the way, I can just take you to the nearest Hunter Association to complete the registration."
Wayne thought about it:
“It’s still about half a year before new students register.
"At the earliest, I think it will take at least half a month before we set off. And we have to complete the sheriff's resignation and succession first."
"Okay." Inessa nodded. "Once you confirm the time, we will go to Kanks City first."
