Chapter 2202 Whoever Believes Will Be Protected
Outside players may be brainwashed, but not everyone can be brainwashed successfully. Even if the people in the Goddess Temple take the trouble to bring the normal children who grew up here to raise them, it is difficult to guarantee that every one of them can become a believer without resistance. Even if these children are brainwashed, or fail to grow up successfully due to various accidents, then won’t the people who look at these children have doubts?
If only children with genes from outsiders can grow up healthily, then what is the meaning of the Goddess Church’s persistence to this day? They are no longer the country that was almost extinct at the beginning, and no longer need the sacrifice of both sexes.
It was easy for Xu Huo to find stranded players from outside the area, but after talking with several people, he discovered another thing, that is, the offspring of the stranded players from outside the area and the people in the area may be more than he thought, because some of the stranded players live together, and they will raise the children born with the people in the area as if they were two children born by players from outside the area.
This group is larger than he thought, because they hold gatherings regularly and even worship the Goddess, and they have not caused any embarrassment to the temple.
A stranded player brought Xu Huo to a small temple they built for the goddess, and casually offered the flowers he brought, and said: "The goddess in the dungeon is not as powerful as you think. The eye patterns that can be seen everywhere in the holy land are her ears and eyes, but without these ears and eyes, she can't see or hear much."
Xu Huo had already told the other party that he was not a cleared player, so at this time he simply asked directly, "You exchanged children and made the people in this area think that their children died just after birth... I, who have just been here for a few days, can find out these things. Can't the people of the Goddess Church find out?"
"It doesn't matter if they know." The pious and kind female player said: "We are few in number, and no matter how many children we give birth to, we can't catch up with the people in this area, but we are not few in number. If they dare to take action, we dare to fight to the death. Without the help of the goddess, how strong can they be?"
"You mean, the goddess is willing to help you?" This guess made Xu Huo unable to hide his surprise.
"As for the goddess, she will bless anyone who believes in her." The female player bowed in front of the faceless goddess statue, "We are also believers now."
Xu Huo's eyes moved from the faceless goddess statue to the player who was bowing devoutly to him, and then from her body to the eye pattern carved on the wall next to her. The two overlapping eyes, high above, looked down at the believers and outsiders below, and also looked down at everything in the temple.
His sight stayed on the two eyes for a moment before he turned his wheelchair and left.
Xu Huo returned to the vicinity of the temple. Before going to the hotel, he went in to see Ah Hai again. After coming out, he rested in the hotel. After dawn, Huang Mao and other players who had wasted time because the satellite city temple was closed hurried to the holy land.
Huang Mao had all five patterns on his body. When they met, he started talking about the satellite city. "The door was closed for two days. I don't know who they were looking for. Anyway, the saint was gone. The players who passed the level made a fake one and they didn't fall for it. I guess there really is no saint. After two days of delay, they finally opened the door."
"It's really lively here in the holy land. If I hadn't been delayed in the satellite city, I would definitely wait until the birthday of the god before entering the dungeon. By the way, what's the situation in the temple?"
"One good news, one bad news, which one do you want to hear?" Xu Huo said.
"Okay, okay." Huang Mao said hurriedly.
"The good news is that there is probably something wrong inside the Goddess Cult. The Goddess' control over the temple is not as good as the satellite city. I can enter freely without any eye pattern."
"The internal strife of the Goddess Cult has reduced the strength of the Goddess?" Huang Mao immediately made a beautiful association and asked, "What about the bad news?"
"The bad news is that something may happen in the holy land around the birthday of the God, and the copy may be impacted." Xu Huo said calmly: "Impacting the copy may not destroy the copy, but it may also cause unpredictable changes to the copy."
Huang Mao's expression became serious, "It's really bad news. Compared with this bad news, the good news above is nothing. It's okay if the copy is destroyed. In case it is stimulated If I lose control, I might even lose my life. The worst thing is that I encounter a copy upgrade, which is even worse. "
After twisting his eyebrows for a while, he sat down and sighed, "I didn't encounter a good time. It seems that I have to wait until after the birthday of the god."
After that, he looked at Xu Huo again, "This is what you want."
Xu Huo also turned his head to look at him, and a smile slowly appeared on his face, "After five times of knocking on the questioning hall, how do you feel now?"
The yellow-haired man has been worried that he was brainwashed unconsciously, and hurriedly told about his previous experience in the questioning hall. The original two times were the extension of the old things. After the last conversation, he thought that he could not escape, so he tried to simulate a door, but failed.
Xu Huo was very surprised at his courage. He dared to imagine the door himself without spiritual evolution. The door he deepened the imprint on may not necessarily open outwards, but may also open inwards.
"Who said it wasn't?" Huang Mao slapped his legs in regret. "I knew it as soon as the door opened. All the people pouring out were cannibal players. Now it's not the passers-by on the street who are chasing me, but cannibal players. You know I have some psychological trauma against cannibal players. I ran from noon to night in the hallucination."
Not seeing any psychological trauma in him, Xu Huo said, "Have you ever tried to kill them?"
"Why haven't you tried it?" Huangmao was speechless. "They will split. Can you imagine it? Kill one and it will become two when it gets up. Mushrooms can't give birth to babies that fast. I was almost bitten to death. In the end, I just gave up and found a metal cabinet to hide in. I would never come out."
"That's how I managed to wake up from the hallucination."
"The next two times, this illusion was out of control. It turned into a doomsday world. The scene I imagined when I just evolved was not seen in the game, but now I see it in the illusion."
There was a little unconscious fear in Huangmao's expression. Even though he knew it was fake, it was still scary because it was so realistic.
"Have you forgotten that you are a player?" Xu Huo interrupted him, "Never forget that you are a player."
"It's not that I can remember it just because I want to." Huang Mao was helpless, "My props can't be used in the illusion at all, even if I imagine it, I can't imagine it, just like when I dreamed of flying before, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't fly. There is a fine line between reality and illusion, but no matter whether it is from reality to illusion or from illusion to reality, I can't cross this line."
"To be honest, I want to try suicide to see if what I experience in the illusion can't affect reality."
Xu Huo looked at him with an incredible look. (End of this chapter)
