Chapter 290: Second of the Ten Plagues

Chakk-chackk-chak-chak

The forest was awash with the sound of helicopter blades chopping through the air.

The three French journalists hadn’t left after the initial shooting. Instead, they used their camera lenses to signal to the incoming aircraft.

The leader of their group seemed to want to expose the videos to the public, but at this moment, they all seemed to have forgotten that they had just broadcasted the crazy events without permission from headquarters.

They thought that the AFP would not dare say anything against them. They could, they thought, argue that it was an expression of religious freedom. Or that Christ himself inspired them to do so. Naturally, if they dared say this during the Middle Ages, the inquisition would have visited them.

“Who are those people?”

One of the reporters asked.

“That one has the flag of the United States, that one from Russia, that one from China, there’s also our French ones, oh and Englishmen too.”

For thousands of years, France and England had been rivals. As a result, this Frenchman spoke with displeasure. Moreover, they had just met Christ. This reminded him of the French Holy Maiden, Joan of Arc, who the English killed.

However, these Frenchmen also knew that they could only be victorious under the leadership of women and foreigners.

Not long after, these helicopters descended. The journalists blocked the buffeting wind with their hands while looking at the various people coming down from these helicopters. Among them were clerks, armed forces, and officials of different embassies in Kenya. Because they knew what was happening, they rushed to the scene immediately.

The only thing that confused the three was that everyone was holding nets!

“Are they here to catch butterflies?”

A French journalist cussed. But they quickly understood why they were carrying net bags. They were not here to catch butterflies, but frogs.

“Quick. There’s a frog there. Catch it!”

A Kenyan soldier who had been turned into a frog stood dumbfounded and was caught in a net before they could react.

“Take a look at this. This frog isn’t afraid of humans and is even charging at me.”

“No, these frogs look like they have a will. They seem to be talking to me, but I don’t speak frog.”

“Idiots. They’re not people. They’re people who had their souls put into frogs.”

“……”

This immediately stirred up the crowd, causing them to panic. At first, these people were instructed by their countries to catch frogs. Although they had seen how Christ turned these people into frogs, they thought that these frogs had lost their human will, but now, it seemed that these frogs could think like humans. It’s just that they lost their human bodies!

Dark Magic… Witchcraft…

When seeing this, the first thought that came into everyone’s mind was the story of the frog prince, but they knew that this wasn’t any evil magic or witchcraft, but a punishment from God. They did not dare say that the power of Christ was evil as that was akin to blasphemy.

“The Exodus, second of the ten plagues.”

There were people who knew the Bible extremely well and whispered things like this. This was the first thing that came to their minds. When the prophet Moses tried to bring the people of God out of Egypt but was prevented from doing so, God sent ten plagues to Egypt.

Just from the wording, one would think that it was a disaster where countless frogs destroyed crops, but now, it might seem like it was a disaster that turned people into frogs.

This was also horrible, but it was definitely a punishment from God.

“How in the world did this happen? Each of these people weighed more than a hundred pounds, but their bodies turned into frogs. Where did all that extra mass go? How could they have a frog’s physiology yet maintain human consciousness? What the hell is a soul?”

One of the scholars shouted as his head hurt from thinking. He felt annoyed that everything he had learned in the past had all gone down the drain.

“Forget about that for now. Just catch them first.”

The embassy personnel of various countries quickly reacted and started a frenzy of catching frogs. It was better to have research institutes study them. All they had to do was to catch more experimental materials than other countries.

Those frogs that used to be Kenyan soldiers that were smart enough had already run away long ago. They knew that the various countries didn’t have the ability to turn them back to humans. If they were really caught and sent to a research institute, then they were finished.

“Hey, you three, stop standing still and help us catch frogs!”

Seeing the three French journalists in a daze, the French embassy official angrily shouted. They quickly responded and joined in the frenzy, but they didn’t realize that everything happening was still being broadcasted. The sight of various suited officials jostling against one another in a bid to catch frogs cut a comedic figure.

……

Washington, United States of America

“Your Excellency, this is the research report on those frogs. Their bodies are the same as ordinary frogs with not a single difference, but the bizarre thing is that traces of human thought could be found in some of them. It is irrefutable that they were human beings. Although they lost their bodies, they still retained their memories and knowledge. The researchers were even able to communicate with them using words.”

“One of the frogs was dissected and its brain was no different from the average frog. We cannot find out how a frog’s brain could carry human consciousness. Maybe it has something to do with the soul. The researchers are now preparing to get female frogs for a mating experiment, to see if there is any difference in the tadpoles that are born.”

The staff spoke with a plain expression, but everyone looking at him almost wanted to curse.

Those scientists were simply not human. They knew that the frogs had a human consciousness, yet they wanted to make them mate with other frogs. The image was simply too horrific to imagine.

“Christ… Where is Christ at the moment?”

The President of the United States of America trembled with both hands. He considered himself a Christian even if his faith wasn’t firm, but this supernatural event was simply different from all others that happened before it. This was an event that would have a huge impact on the entire Western society. No one could be sure what Christ’s descent would actually bring.

“From the direction Christ is advancing and our predictions, Christ is planning to leave Kenya and heading to neighboring Somalia!”

“Is he just like Moses leading the suffering people of God out of Kenya to the new land of Canaan?”

No one could answer the President’s question. Neither his staff nor major theological and religious scholars could answer him. They dared not for fear of committing the sin of blasphemy.

Moreover, they knew from the words of this Christ, that he was not Jesus, so they could not speculate on the trajectory of his life and what he would do next.

“Is our only option to recognize him as Christ?”

The President carefully asked once more, but no one still answered his words.

The President was a little disappointed. Other than the Vatican, Christian nations were not all too willing to recognize the identity of Christ. The leader of these great nations had great power in the world of men, but in the world of God, they were nothing but ordinary believers!

This was bad for the hegemony that the United States of America held, but no one dared resist. Christianity might look moderate nowadays, but in the past, especially in the Middle Ages, the Christian Church was synonymous with darkness. If he dared claim to be against Christ, then tomorrow, tens of thousands of devotees would come to the White House and force him out of his office. Moreover, this number was only because other Christians were far away.

“What about the Jews?

Hearing the President’s words, the spirits of the people in the office shook. That’s right. They did not dare openly and blatantly go against Christ, but it did not mean they could not do anything. They did not dare, but they could encourage others to, especially the Jews and even Satanists!
