["An attempt?"]
[You deliberated and repeatedly scanned the peculiar monk, seeing that he preferred speaking in riddles and knew he was no common sort.]
[Faced with your inquiry, the monk answered with a smile, "This is a secret of our faith, you can know only if you follow my master. What do you say, shall you join?"]
[He sent you an invitation to join the faith.]
[You asked him, "If I don't join, can you tell me what the attempt is?"]
[Very well, that's typical of you, still so despicable and shameful.]
[The monk was still smiling, but his tone became less polite, "What do you think? Of course not. However, I can introduce you to our doctrine, are you interested? Maybe once you understand us, you will join us."]
["Is your master Tailed Ksitigarbha?" you did not rush to answer, but countered with a question.]
