Chapter 223 Conversion x Hidden Worries
In the center of the "Windmill World" where there are no more windmills, the raven opens its eyes on the top of a tall stone building.
Then, Xiao Jian saw a group of believers kneeling on the ground through its eyes.
Their posture is very unique:
Kneel on the ground with your knees on the ground, your forehead touching the ground, then your elbows and forearms are also flat on the ground, and your hands are clasped together.
This posture is very similar to the standard five-body prostrate to the ground, except that there is an additional step of clasping the hands together... but it is not special. After all, many religions actually have similar etiquette.
However, although it is a very high etiquette to understand this gesture, the problem now is that there is something wrong with the expressions of these survivors!
Although many of them had become believers of the Crow God before, at least they were still individuals with their own joys and sorrows.
But now, almost everyone behaved extremely religiously, kneeling on the ground motionless. If they were not still breathing, Xiao Jian would even think that they were just sleeping in a different position.
"bridge?"
Raven asked.
"Your will be obeyed."
The strong black-haired man raised his body slightly, but made no intention of raising his head to look directly at the raven. He just lowered his head and waited for Xiao Jian's instructions.
"When did you wake up?" Xiao Jian asked through the raven's mouth.
"We felt your power three minutes ago and woke up from chaos."
The black-haired burly man still whispered.
"..."
How did this guy become so respectful? This made Xiao Jian very uncomfortable.
"Why are you talking like that?" Xiao Jian asked directly.
"Because we, the shallow mortals, finally feel your vastness and greatness... Oh, you are so powerful, and we are so weak. We are fortunate to have your mercy and be allowed to believe in you. This is The greatest gift to us! I..."
The black-haired burly man didn't know when he became so talkative. Xiao Jian interrupted him impatiently: "Okay, okay, shut up! Stand up and talk."
"..."
The black-haired burly man stood up obediently, without even a "yes" response, and followed Xiao Jian's words completely... just like a robot.
However, when the strong black-haired man stood up, Xiao Jian discovered the point!
The eyes of the strong black-haired man were actually glowing with golden light! And the moment he raised his head, the air above his head was distorted, as if there was a transparent halo around his head! !
Xiao Jian frowned and immediately checked his attributes:
——Character Card——
Bridge Wolfe
3 attack | 4 defense | 4 health (full equipment)
Mobility 3
characteristic:
【Soldier】
【Belief】
[Psychic] is tainted with a hint of divine aura.
————
Obviously, this new characteristic is the reason why the black-haired burly man behaves strangely.
Generally speaking, the introduction text of features will be very straightforward, and only those more special features will have ambiguous text.
Obviously, this [spiritual communication] feature is also the same!
However, since the target of this feature is Xiao Jian himself, he can of course check the function of this feature through the faith link.
As the faith link was established, Xiao Jian quickly received a stream of information.
It turns out that what this [Psychic Communication] trait communicates is actually the [True God] trait that Xiao Jian just obtained.
The black-haired burly man can rely on [Psychic] to borrow some of Xiao Jian's [True God] derived abilities.
For example, sending down divine punishment on Xiao Jian's behalf... Of course, this so-called divine punishment can only punish those who believe in Xiao Jian, even if they are light believers.
The system of gods is so reasonable - as long as you don't believe in me, nothing will happen. As long as you believe in me, I'm sorry, I can not only deprive you of everything, but even the agent can inflict divine punishment on you at will. .
Xiao Jian, who was far away in the small courtyard, scratched his nose and tried to cancel the trace of connection that [Psychic Communication] could obtain.
However, unlike Xiao Jian's [King] characteristic system, this connection and borrowing of the gods' system cannot be canceled even by the gods themselves.
In other words, whether Xiao Jian is willing or not, as long as the other party awakens the characteristic of [Spiritual Communication], then Xiao Jian must give him communication...
This coercion is effective for both parties.
Unless Xiao Jian kills the strong black-haired man immediately, there is no way he can cancel this hard connection.
"..."
Xiao Jian was speechless for a while - obviously he couldn't kill the black hair just because he was so unhappy, so in the end he could only hold his nose and admit it.
"What did you go through at that time? Why were everyone unconscious?" Xiao Jian asked.
Then the black-haired burly man respectfully told Xiao Jian everything that had happened before.
After learning everything, Xiao Jian frowned slightly.
"Storm of Faith..."
Although Xiao Jian did not see it with his own eyes, he simply made it up in his mind through simple verbal descriptions.
However, he was keenly aware of the helpless feeling of constantly falling into the abyss of fanaticism under the influence of other people around him.
Even though the black-haired burly man spoke so plainly now, as if it was just a simple little thing, the power of this belief made Xiao Jian shudder...
Just like the survivors in front of me, they were all living, normal human beings.
But now, after experiencing the baptism of the storm of faith, they have all turned into robot-like fanatic believers!
"Everyone stand up," said the raven.
Then the fanatics stood up in unison.
Although men, women, old and young were all different, Xiao Jian could see the fanatical belief in their eyes without exception.
It seems that if he just snaps his fingers, these people will die for him without hesitation...
Being watched with fanatical eyes by more than a hundred people, Xiao Jian felt uncomfortable all over.
"How much food is left?"
"If you eat normally, you can still survive for one day. If you implement rationing, it can be extended to three days. If you give up some weak people, you can..."
The black-haired burly man became more and more outrageous as he spoke.
"Stop! It's not difficult to get food. I will bring you enough food and seeds tonight, and then you can start plowing the land tomorrow..."
Having said this, Xiao Jian paused slightly, looked at the group of fanatical eyes below and said: "Now you should cook, work, and recover for the injured... In short, recover them all for me. How it looked yesterday."
As soon as Raven finished speaking, everyone who stood up fell to their knees again: "I will obey the oracle!"
"..."
Forget it, never mind.
Xiao Jian directly chose to take back the clone, and then quickly activated the [Destruction] feature to observe the situation on the tall building through the heavy fog.
"Okay, my god has left. Everyone, please move."
The strong black-haired man stood up first and ordered to the others.
"yes."
The believers stood up again and got busy.
In the past, most of the survivors who were not "salvagers" did not work very much. Some of the rice bugs would even lie down all day, just waiting for someone to make a meal, then take a bite, and then go back after finishing the meal. Lie flat.
But this time it was different. Not only the "salvagers" went downstairs to cut down the wood, but even the lazy guys from before also started to take action...
Those who have skills will help knock and toss wood, those who have no skills and physical strength will help with lifting, and those who have nothing will help clean up and cook... and even start picking up rocks and loosening soil in advance!
Xiao Jian stared at this scene in stunned silence - are these still the same group of lazy survivors! ? Has this subjective initiative become so strong?
Under this change, the wooden doors and windows that the building urgently needed were mass-produced...
Even some wooden furniture is starting to take shape!
Those in the distance who loosened the soil and picked up stones quickly cleared a large area of land suitable for farming.
This production efficiency is simply ridiculously high!
Logically speaking, it is a good thing to be more efficient, but the more Xiao Jian looked at it, the more he felt cold in his heart.
This group of survivors seems to have been completely washed away from themselves, leaving only the instinct to execute orders.
If the angle of view was slightly higher and blurred a bit... Xiao Jian would even think that this is just a game running on a computer!
And all believers are just NPCs in this game!
"This is so damn scary..." Xiao Jian stood at the door and murmured to himself.
"What's so scary?" Shao Youxian asked curiously.
"...Huh?" Xiao Jian then remembered that there was someone else in his courtyard.
"Uh..." Xiao Jian thought for a while and told Shao You everything he saw, including the "Storm of Faith".
"Oh? Such a thing could happen!?" After hearing this, Shao Youxian was not only not afraid, but also did not have any fear of Xiao Jian. Instead, his eyes lit up: "I want to try... How can I believe in you? No, no, no. , not now! I have to design an experiment... By the way, there are also experimental assistants!
As he spoke, Shao Youxian's eyes moved to Xiao Jian's face, and then he said a little awkwardly: "Sorry, I'm a little too excited... So, can you send me back? I want to start the project early and conduct pre-research."
"...I'm overthinking it." Xiao Jian shook his head helplessly, "The 'parasitic god' has run away, and I guess you won't have too many problems. I can send you back now, But it’s best to isolate yourself for a while after returning, just in case.”
"Of course, of course..." Shao Youxian was very enthusiastic.
"..."
Xiao Jian wanted to say something else, but seeing his impatient face, he had no choice but to comply with his wishes.
Using [Forgery Body] directly on Zhang Jinyu, the small piece of plasticine disappeared in mid-air and then reappeared in the fortress town.
When I opened my eyes distractedly, I saw a sea of flowers.
This is...the sunflower field.
Every day, this huge flower field brings huge amounts of sunshine to Xiao Jian. Although he has experienced high-intensity consumption like the God War, as long as he saves for a few more days, his sunshine value will soon recover.
It's definitely a bit of an exaggeration to say it's inexhaustible, but it's more than enough to use blank resource cards to build things.
Even the [Sunflowers] Xiao Jian assigned to Lucia were enough to support the consumption of the entire research institute.
"Eh? You're here!?"
After Xiao worked out, Zhang Jinyu suddenly said in surprise.
"Ah, yes...I have something to do. Come back." Xiao Jian nodded with a smile, then spread his wings and flew up.
"call……"
The black wings took Xiao Jian away, leaving Zhang Jinyu standing in the middle of the flower field, looking at his back in a daze.
…
Xiao Jian first went to find Zhang Weidong, and then called people from the research institute to build a closed stone house next to the research institute.
The basic facilities in this stone house are relatively complete, including running water and toilets, but the only problem is... there is no way.
That's right, there is literally no such thing as a door.
Shao Youxian's communication with the outside world relies on closed glass windows.
This glass window is also divided into two layers: inner and outer.
When serving food, open the outside first, then put the food in, and then close it.
Shao You opened it from the inside first, took the food and closed the window.
When this act is completed, the rune embedded between the two windows is disinfected with high heat.
After determining the work process and fulfilling the responsibility of charging the runes, Shao Youxian finally returned from the courtyard to the fortress town he was familiar with.
"Haha! I'm back again!!"
Shao Youxian was very energetic, which made the researchers watching breath a sigh of relief.
"Look at this! Do you know this is called a rune weapon? My latest research results! It's so awesome!"
"And this, this is the driving force-power conversion device! The gasoline generator is ready to go!"
"And let me tell you, I saw the Dragon God! Each of its scales is so-so-big!"
"..."
Perhaps it was because he had been in closed isolation for too long. As soon as Shao You came out, he "reported work" to other researchers through the glass.
Although everything he said was true, speaking in this tone always felt... like bragging.
Zhang Weidong frowned when he heard this, and couldn't help but said to Xiao Jian: "...You have worked really hard."
"Well, he wasn't like this when I was there. He was quite quiet actually..."
Xiao Jian didn't dare to say that Shao Youxian was quieter than Dahuang - that kid Dahuang has learned to turn on and off his phone now! If you have nothing to do, go and see the garden baby, Makabaka will be annoyed to death.
As the saying goes, you will not survive if you do something wrong.
Gotta find something to do for it...
But that’s not too important, so we have to wait a little longer.
"I found a problem...about faith."
Xiao Jian's expression was serious, and even Zhang Weidong became serious.
Looking up at Shao Youxian's lively "cell", Zhang Weidong pointed to the building next to him and said, "Come here... let's find a quieter place to talk."
…
In Zhang Weidong's office, on both sides of the simple wooden table, he and Xiao Jian each had a cup of tea in front of them.
"I see... I understand." Zhang Weidong nodded, "It was just an accident and had nothing to do with you. You don't have to feel guilty."
"...I mean, things like the Storm of Faith are completely uncontrollable. What if Zhang Jinyu..."
At this point, Xiao Jian stopped.
When this issue was mentioned, Zhang Weidong seemed to have more wrinkles on his face. He was silent for a long time, and then sighed:
"If it really happens, there's nothing we can do about it..."
"What can't be done?"
Suddenly, Zhang Jinyu walked in.
…
