507 DOES GOD REALLY EXIST?
Pope and others rendered speechless. When Garth was looking at the empty space earlier, they had their own suspicions. He was looking at an empty space with face full of anger. But when Bishop took out the cloth from Garth's mouth, their doubts turned into an harsh reality. There was indeed a problem here.
"What's wrong with Garth?" , Pope who had a bad feeling asked, "Give me a detailed explanation."
Bishop nodded his head. First he put that cloth back in Garth's mouth. He then told everything that happened at the entrance of the Church. He told how embarrassing Garth's behaviour was. He told how he almost spilled the truth behind Feril's death in front of the crowd. And of course, he boasted how he cleverly controlled the situation in even more detailed.
Pope and others were stunned. As a Pope, he knew what was the consequences for the revelation of the truth is? The rewards for success is generous. But the punishment is even more harsh. There is a possibility for them to no longer stay alive for taking the punishment as they might be killed by the public for betraying their trust.
Pope looked at Bishop and said, "Good! You did an excellent job. I will make sure that your cautious actions reached the God!"
"Thank You, My Lord!" ,Bishop was totally excited. He knew that the rewards in this kind of situations are even more generous compared to the rewards which they get after completion of the mission. So, his excitement has no limits.
Pope then looked at Garth and his eyes were filled with worry. If Garth was any other common John Doe in the Church, then the Pope wouldn't have hesitated even a second to kill him. But Garth was one of his best assassin. On top of that, his father Jinx was at an higher position in the City Lord Manor. If he killed Garth here, then he won't only lose his best assassin, he will also draw an unwanted enmity from Jinx! So killing Garth is definitely a bad decision.
Pope looked at the priest and said, "Look at his situation. Find the problem at any cost!"
"I will do my best, My Lord!" ,Head Priest said with respect. He then walked towards Garth and started to display his doctor skills.
He took out the cloth from Garth's mouth. It was as if Garth has understood what kind of awkward situation he put Pope and others in, he suppressed his anger and he further suppressed the angry scolding which he prepared for his alter ego.
The priest checked Garth's eyes, mouth and he even checked his Pulse. Later, he caressed his long beard and said, "I think it's Anxiety Syndrome Stage 3. His pulse rate is not in a good state. His eyes turned red. There are black spots around his eyes. It's clear to me that a demon has entered his body. We need to cleanse it."
"Pffft!" , The Alter Ego couldn't control his laughter anymore as he said, "Is this old man truly a bonafide doctor? What kind of doctor uses the word demon in the middle of the treatment?"
"Aren't you truly a demon from whom I am suffering?" , Garth said angrily, "Don't you think what Priest said was right?"
"Demon? Me?" , Alter Ego laughed, "I think you have misunderstood me. I am not any kind of demon. I am your truth!"
"Cut with that crap already!" , Garth shouted, "You call yourself my truth. But all I can see is that you make me suffer psycologically. You are not my tooth. You are just here to toy with me."
"You are wrong." , The Alter Ego said, "All I want you to do is to see the truth. But the truth always tastes bitter. People always wants to accept the things that are convinient for them. They want to ignore the truth even if it is in front of their eyes. Because accepting the truth hurts their ego. But if people start to accept the truth as it is, their heart will be at ease. And who am i? I am your alter ego. I am your truth. If you listen to me and accept the truth, then those innocents won't have to suffer for your crime."
The alter ego sighed and said, " Trust me. These people manipulates you to do all the dirty works for them. And they call it the God's work. Tell me. What kind of God would asks others to kill the other people?"
"Feril is an evil man!" , Garth gritted his teeth and said, "He deserves to be dead."
The alter ego smiled and asked, "Then what about those poor people who are going to take the punishment for your crimes? Why exactly the God is not helping them. If killing Feril was the orders from the God, then why is the God is not helping those innocents from taking the responsibility for his shitty plans?"
Garth remained silent. He didn't know how to respond to this. Because deep down he knew that what his alter ego said was truth. Even though he wants to argue with some reason, he couldn't find the suitable reason.

He finally found some reason and said instinctively, "The God knows what he is doing. There is no need for you to manipulate me to doubt him."
"Common! This shit again." , The alter ego sighed and said, "All these people make you to do is to kill others. A God should be like a sage who sends message related to peace. The God had to spread his idealogy about the path for the peace and coexistence. But these people are doing nothing but kill people using the name of God. For every reasons, they connects it with the God. If the people like you have some doubts, then they will use the name of God to affect your heart. In all the work they do, and in all their talk, they use the name of the God more frequently. They say that the God would talk with them. They say that all their dirty work was the idealogy of work."
The alter ego smiled sinisterly and said, "Why would the God appears only in front of them? Why wouldn't the God appear in front of us? Why wouldn't the God talk with the poor people more frequently? Tell me. Did you think to this point? Did you ever questioned yourself about the things you are doing?"
The Alter Ego smiled cunningly and said, "Let me ask you one important question. Does the God really exist?"
