Church of Feng

It’s been two days since the tour buses came into town with quite a handful of people. The tourists don’t seem too interested in the landscape, history or cultural development of the town but rather the locals themselves. They’re fascinated by how healthy and physical fit some of them are. The tourists asked a lot of questions both personal and general questions about their health and life. They all took a liking to selected few people in the town while the rest seems to disgust them somehow. Neither the less the selected locals also seem to be enjoying the attention plus the tourists brought them gifts. 

At dawn of the third day, the buses were heard leaving town on the road leading to the mountains. Few hours after the buses left people noticed the selected people the tourists took a liking to were missing. All of them. The remaining people took it as they went with the tour bus to seek better live elsewhere. But the strange part was they left behind all their possessions. 

A day later, several police cars and other specialized government officers flooded the streets of town. They questioned the people whether two camp buses passed through and to their surprise they all said yes. And aside from that, they took a couple of the townsfolk with them particularly the physically fit and healthy ones. The look on the faces of the officers suddenly turned worried. They explained to the locals that the group of people who visited their town were not tourists but a religious cult roaming towns and slaughtering people to perform rituals in the name of purifying the world to pave way for the arrival of their god. The whole town was shocked by the news yet relief they weren’t  massacred. The officers assured them that they’re safe and sound but sadly they feared same can’t be said for the others who were taken. They later took off in pursuit of the Church of Feng.
