Chapter 730 Holy Rose

On the surface, worshipping this thing is a typical twisted mind. He is obviously an atheist, but theists think he is a believer in his own god.

This kind of thing can be used to deceive people, but it is not known whether it can deceive the containment. It depends on who is more absolute.

In order to test its effect, Catherine carved a set of statues of the god of electric lights and the god of computers.

As an older member of the club, Catherine knows basically everything, and the statues she carved are detailed and exquisite.

But before that, everyone tried self-hypnosis to convince themselves to believe in these false gods.

"Catherine, the startup time is thirty minutes."

"Wuyun Mo, the startup time is forty-seven minutes."

"Mo Qiong, the startup time is one hour..."

Gou Ye was responsible for recording on the side. Although it was not as accurate as the statistics of the church people holding the containment, the startup time of the computer statue could also prove the estimation of everyone's faith value.

It must be said that after the members self-hypnosis, they were more pious than Andy, the little brat.

But piety is limited. After all, it is useless to be stronger than a five-year-old kid. It is unrealistic to rely on hypnosis to achieve citizen-level piety.

Any citizen can compress the boot time to less than one minute, not to mention those priests with amazing faith.

And their members use the statues, no matter how much they deceive themselves, compared with the people here, they are just super old machines.

"I tried my best. If I want to improve my faith in the gods, I must seal all my memories of the Blue and White Society. And if I do that... I am not a member anymore." Mo Qiong said.

Sealing the memories of members is obviously not possible, and everyone still has to perform the task.

And under the condition of ensuring the faith of the members, the greatest faith they can achieve is comparable to that of an ordinary ten-year-old child... or a more talented seven or eight-year-old child.

In the underground city-state, it is still the level of being lost in the crowd.

"Try 'surface worship', Mo Qiong, go to the place in the photo, I have already said hello." Kelong said to Che Yun, and Che Yun and Mo Qiong always maintain spiritual connection.

Che Yun responded and put on the earrings.

Soon, Mo Qiong went through several turns and arrived at the designated location. He got the collection and returned to the underground.

"Is this rose the so-called surface worship? Oh, I remember, isn't this the Holy Mark Rose?" Mo Qiong asked.

'Holy Mark Rose' is an Alpha-level collection, with the appearance of a bunch of roses with thorns, and it always looks like it has just been picked.

This is a very old collection, it should not leave people's attention, otherwise, even in the blink of an eye, it will quietly disappear and appear in other corners of the world.

So Mo Qiong always keeps an eye on it, and everyone is paying attention to it at this moment, so as not to let it run away.

Wu Yunmo also stared at the rose and said, "Yes, it is the Stigma Rose. We use different nicknames."

"The method of use is very simple. Just get pricked by the thorns on it, or drink the rose petals in water, or eat the whole rose petals. It's all fine..."

Catherine also said, "People who have had the above contact will have stigmata when they don't see the rose and their inner belief is very strong."

"I read its information at the beginning, saying that it is the culprit of stigmata from ancient times to the present." Mo Qiong blinked.

Catherine nodded and said, "Yes, except for some people who deliberately give themselves stigmata, all the real stigmata are because of it."

Stigmata is a phenomenon that has occasionally appeared in people since the 13th century.

Specifically, it manifests as round wounds on the left and right palms or ankles with varying amounts of bleeding, but there are also cases where it appears on other parts such as the knees, forehead, or a lot of blood and tears in the eyes.

Some people are more relaxed and have no pain, but the palms bleed inexplicably.

But some people will feel severe pain, even die of pain or die from heavy bleeding.

Some religious people believe that this is the wound of Jesus' crucifixion reflected on the believers, but the fact is that there are a large number of cases that are not Christians at all, and there are many atheists among them.

Some doctors believe that it is a rare skin disease that makes these festering wounds look like they are nailed to the cross.

But the specific cause of this disease is unknown, and no related viruses or bacteria have been found, and even the wounds will not be infected.

The wounds of the stigmata will heal and recur automatically at regular intervals, and other than that, no medical means can actively heal it. Even if it is sutured, the blood will still flow strangely.

This phenomenon once occurred on some corpses, and the blood that flowed out was still fresh blood with a rose smell.

"In general, it is only an Alpha-level threat. Some people's lives are not affected by the stigmata, but some people have suffered from decades of bleeding pain and even died from it."

"This is related to the degree of faith. The more you believe in something, the more severe the stigmata disease will be."

Catherine said, there is no doubt that using this thing can show that you are extremely devoted to Gaia in front of others, but correspondingly, the members have to endure the pain of blood loss.

And this effect is almost permanent. Unless the most firm belief in the heart is abandoned, or the limb where the stigmata appear is completely erased, the stigmata disease will continue and there is no cure, even if you die, even if the limbs are replaced.

Death is not considered to be giving up the most firm belief in the heart, it is just the loss of consciousness, not abandonment.

Obviously, it is impossible for club members to abandon their most firm belief - the method of containment.

So once they choose to use it, their palms will bleed for no reason or their eyes will shed tears from time to time for the rest of their lives.

"I'll try it first. If it doesn't work, you don't need to be infected with this thing." Wu Yunmo smiled. He was a dying person, so naturally he didn't care about such a trivial matter.

I saw him grabbing the rose and his finger was pricked.

Of course, the rose thorns didn't break the defense at all, and there were just a few white marks on Wu Yunmo's skin.

However, this effect does not require piercing the skin, just pricking it.

This is a typical containment infection. It is not a virus or a bacteria, but a conceptual and qualitative imposition.

Wu Yunmo shifted his gaze and stared at the statue. The high spirit he had cultivated during his twenty years of shelter surged in his heart.

The strongest belief in my heart fluctuated so violently that it immediately inspired the stigmata!

Stab!

The palm of his left hand split open on its own, resembling a nail mark, and blood flowed out. Then the exact same injury appeared on the palm of his right hand!

Of course, how many stigmata appear and where they are located are all random and have nothing to do with the level of belief.

Tied to the level of faith is suffering.

"Fortunately, for the mission, this level of pain can be ignored." Wu Yunmo muttered.

"How is it?" Catherine asked.

Wu Yunmo endured the severe pain in his palm and said: "It started up too fast... less than a second."

Everyone smiled, it worked!

This stigma effect actually fooled the computer god. It seems that the so-called superficial worship is not just a distortion of the mind, but a true transformation of a person's belief in something into other beliefs.

It's just that in the past, things like belief couldn't be collected and recorded effectively. They could only be experienced superficially, so I thought it was a kind of spiritual distortion.

But now, there are derivatives such as computer idols, which collect faith as a substantive resource. This has truly proved that this effect is to 'translate' one kind of faith from the surface to the inside into other things. Belief.

"Download speed...1280Mb/s..." After a while, Wu Yunmo said.

Master Gou smiled and said, "This is definitely more than a citizen's level of piety!"

The computer on which the statue is projected has a 10G bandwidth. According to the little information Andy knows, there is no such person among the citizens.

Andy's parents only have a download speed of 11Mb/s, while a relatively wealthy citizen nearby is said to have 50Mb/s.

But compared with Wu Yunmo, it is still far behind. They are not of the same order of magnitude.

According to their speculation, the priest's standard may be to upgrade the computer statue to gigabit bandwidth, which is 125Mb/s.

And Wu Yunmo actually has 1280!
