Chapter 223 Conversion X Hidden Concerns
In the center of the "windmill world" where there were no windmills, the raven opened its eyes on the top of the stone building.
Then, Xiao Jian saw a group of believers kneeling on the ground through its eyes.
Their posture was very unique:
They knelt on the ground with their knees on the ground, their foreheads touching the ground, and then their elbows and forearms were flat on the ground, and their hands were clasped together.
This posture is very similar to the standard prostration, except that there is an additional link of clasping hands together... but it is not special, after all, many religions actually have similar etiquette.
However, although it can be understood that this posture is a high etiquette, the problem now is that the expressions of these survivors are a little wrong!
Before, although many of them became believers of the Raven God, at least they were still individuals with their own joys, sorrows, anger and happiness.
But now, almost everyone behaved extremely pious, kneeling on the ground motionless. If they were not still breathing, Xiao Jian would even think that they were just sleeping in a different posture.
"Bridge?"
The raven asked.
"I will obey your will."
The black-haired strong man raised his body slightly, but he did not look up at the raven at all. He just lowered his head and waited for Xiao Jian's order.
"When did you wake up?" Xiao Jian asked through the raven's mouth.
"3 minutes ago, we felt your power and woke up from the chaos again."
The black-haired strong man still whispered.
"..."
Why did this guy become so respectful? This made Xiao Jian very uncomfortable.
"Why do you talk like that?" Xiao Jian asked directly.
"Because I, a shallow mortal, finally felt your vastness and greatness... Oh, you are so powerful, and we are so weak. We are fortunate to be able to receive your mercy and be allowed to believe in you. This is the greatest gift for us! I..."
The black-haired strong man didn't know when he became so chattering. Xiao Jian interrupted him impatiently: "Okay, okay, shut up! Stand up and talk."
"..."
The black-haired strong man stood up obediently, without even a "yes" response, and completely followed Xiao Jian's words to execute orders... like a robot.
However, when the black-haired man stood up, Xiao Jian discovered the key point!
The black-haired man's eyes were actually shining with golden light! And the moment he raised his head, the air above his head was distorted, as if there was a transparent halo on his head! !
Xiao Jian frowned and immediately checked his attributes:
——Character card——
Qiao Wolf
3 attack|4 defense|4 health (fully equipped)
Mobility 3
Features:
[Soldier]
[Faith]
[God-like] is tainted with a trace of divine breath.
————
Obviously, this new feature is the reason why the black-haired man behaved differently.
Generally speaking, the introduction text of the feature will be very straightforward, and only those special features will have ambiguous text.
Obviously, this [God-like] feature is also the case!
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.
With the establishment of the faith link, Xiao Jian soon received a stream of information.
It turns out that this [God-Connected] characteristic actually communicates with the [True God] characteristic that Xiao Jian just got.
The black-haired strong man can rely on [God-Connected] to borrow some of Xiao Jian's [True God] derivative abilities.
For example, he can punish Xiao Jian with divine punishment... Of course, this so-called divine punishment can only punish those who believe in Xiao Jian, even those who are shallow believers.
The God system 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 punish you with divine punishment at will.
Xiao Jian, who was far away in the courtyard, scratched his nose and tried to cancel the slight connection that [God-Connected] could obtain.
However, unlike Xiao Jian's [King] characteristic system, this connection and borrowing of the God system cannot be cancelled even by the God himself.
In other words, whether Xiao Jian is willing or not, as long as the other party awakens the [God-Connected] characteristic, then Xiao Jian must give him communication...
This kind of coercion is effective for both parties.
Unless Xiao Jian kills the black-haired man right now, he has no way to cancel this hard connection.
"..."
Xiao Jian was speechless for a while - obviously he couldn't kill the black-haired man just because he was unhappy, so in the end he could only accept it with a pinch of his nose.
"What did you experience at that time? Why are all people unconscious?" Xiao Jian asked.
Then the black-haired man respectfully told Xiao Jian everything that happened before.
After learning everything, Xiao Jian frowned slightly.
"Faith storm..."
Although Xiao Jian didn't see it with his own eyes, he just simply described it in his mind through simple language.
However, he was keenly aware of the helplessness of being influenced by other people around him and constantly falling into the abyss of fanaticism.
Although the black-haired man said it so calmly now, as if it was just a simple matter, the power of this belief made Xiao Jian a little chilling...
Just like these survivors in front of him, they were all living normal humans.
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 seemed as if he could just snap his fingers and these people would 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 the skills will help knock and toss the wood, those who have no skills and physical strength will help with the lifting, and those who have nothing will help clean up and cook... and even start picking up stones and loosening the 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 actually happen!?" After hearing this, Shao Youxian was not only not afraid, nor did he have any fear of Xiao Jian, but his eyes shone brightly: "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: "I'm 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'll come back if I have something to do." 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, then called the people from the institute to build a closed stone house next to the institute.
The basic facilities in this stone house are relatively complete, even with running water and toilets, but the only problem is... there is no door.
Yes, there is literally no door.
Shao Youxian communicates with the outside world through closed glass windows.
And this glass window is also divided into two layers, inside and outside.
When delivering food, the outside is opened first, then the food is put in, and then closed.
Shao Youxian then opens from the inside, takes the food, and closes the window.
When this action is completed, the rune embedded between the two windows is disinfected with high temperature.
After determining the work process and implementing the responsibility of charging the rune, Shao Youxian finally returned to the familiar fortress town from the small courtyard.
"Haha! I'm back again!!"
Shao Youxian was very energetic, which made the researchers who were watching breathe a sigh of relief.
"Look at this! Do you know what a rune weapon is? It's my latest research result! It's amazing!"
"And this, this is a driving force-electricity conversion device! The gasoline generator can be laid off!"
"And I'm telling you, I saw the dragon god! One of its scales is that big!"
"..."
Perhaps it was because he had been in closed isolation for too long, Shao Youxian started to "report work" to other researchers through the glass as soon as he came out.
Although what he said was true, it always felt like... bragging when he spoke in this tone.
Zhang Weidong frowned and said to Xiao Jian: "... You've worked so hard."
"Well, he wasn't like this when he was with me, he was actually quite quiet..."
Xiao Jian didn't dare to say that Shao Youxian was quieter than Da Huang - Da Huang has now learned how to turn on and off the machine! He goes to see the baby in the garden when he has nothing to do, and Makka Baka is so annoying.
As the saying goes, he will suffer for his own mistakes.
He needs to find something to do for it...
But it's not a big deal, so he has to wait a little longer.
"I found a problem...about faith."
Xiao Jian's expression was serious, and Zhang Weidong also became serious.
Looking up at Shao Youxian's busy "cell", Zhang Weidong pointed to the building next to him and said, "Come here...let's find a quiet 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.
"So that's it...I understand." Zhang Weidong nodded, "It was just an accident, it has nothing to do with you, you don't have to feel guilty."
"...I mean, something like a faith storm is completely uncontrollable. What if Zhang Jinyu..."
At this point, Xiao Jian stopped.
When this issue was mentioned, Zhang Weidong's face seemed to have more wrinkles. He was silent for a long time, and then sighed:
"If it really happened, there is nothing we can do about it..."
"What can't we do about it?"
Suddenly, Zhang Jinyu walked in.
...
