In places near the border, survival is all about the strong eating the weak, even gods would be consumed, let alone faith.

Quinlyn discovered when she arrived in town that during Christmas, people hold sacrificial ceremonies and light incense to pray for blessings.

“Are there really gods?” she asked Jason with curiosity,

“Of course not. If there were, people wouldn’t be toiling away like animals, Jason replied, being blunt. “Some people just can’t solve their problems, so they escape into faith instead.”

Quinlyn thought this made sense. “Then let’s burst their bubble.”

“Burst it how? How can you prove that gods don’t exist or ghosts aren’t real?”

“For thousands of years, our ancestors have controlled thoughts with beliefs, making you think freely. Even college grads might believe it after hearing local tales for a while.”

Jason was a professional scam artist, unlike Chester who was petty, he knew how to manipulate the lower class’s psychology perfectly.

Quinlyn learned a lot from him, understanding the true power of faith.

“No, we need to go this way,” Quinlyn calmly instructed.

Wiping the sweat off his brow, Jason turned to her and noticed she had a hat on and looked completely dry, not sweating at all.

“Aren’t you tired?” he asked, feeling exhausted.

Quinlyn shook her head. “This level of exercise is just a warm–up for me. You’re just weak.”

Jason felt dissed by a kid and realized he had no solid lead himself, so he decided to take a gamble on Quinlyn’s guidance.

The mountain got dark quickly, and the temperature dropped. Luckily, they saw lights at the edge of the forest, a small village.
