Zhou Mo Sen was surprised because he knew that sheep held a special meaning in Europe and America.
The term scapegoat is known to many Chinese, right?
But actually, this term is a borrowed word.
Scapegoat originates from the "Old Testament" of the Bible, where the sacrificial rites involved a goat taking on sins for people.
Zhou Mo Sen, being a doctor, originally didn't study this term in depth.
Lately, there was a scandal, where Australian soldiers committed atrocities somewhere, and Wuhe Qilin made a painting.
The painting depicted a sheep, and someone explained the meaning.
But, that's just one aspect.
Zhou Mo Sen also knew other things.
In Western religions, sheep have always been a symbol of demons.
No need for extensive research, just watch some horror movies to get a rough idea.
Sheep horns, sheep eyes, some sheep behaviors.
They all seem to resemble demons.
In Western mythology, sheep are almost synonymous with demons, with many demons depicted as sheep.
