Chapter 232 Brainwashing Storm

He was still sighing after Xiao Jian brought Baimao to the windmill world without windmills.

Even in peaceful times, Zhang Weidong was definitely a hero, handling such complex problems with ease.

It was obviously very complicated and required a lot of words to explain, but in the end, it was handled easily.

And it not only dispelled everyone's doubts, but also made the new immigrants deepen their trust in the original leadership of Fortress Town.

Xiao Jian reviewed it in his mind for a long time and found that the most critical turning point occurred after the instrument appeared.

When researchers used it to provide convincing data, the point of the conflict changed from people's crisis of trust in the leadership of Fortress Town to their concern for their own safety.

People are often like this. When it does not affect themselves, emotions tend to dominate the opinions of most people.

After all, asking the leadership of Fortress Town to save the little zombie doesn't cost you anything. In addition, people are naturally led to the weak side, so this kind of emotion can easily explode into a more acute conflict if it is not good.

But when the problem is transformed into the fact that you have to pay a price and take risks to save zombies, people's thinking patterns will immediately change.

That’s what it means to worry about things that have nothing to do with you...

But if it concerns oneself, it would be a real-life version of the "I really have a cow" plot.

"Sure enough, professional matters should be left to professionals..."

Xiao Jian sighed and threw Bai Mao on the roof.

"What kind of place is this!? You...who are you!? Where is the god named Xiao?"

Bai Mao looked at the raven standing on the wooden frame warily... The sudden changes around him made him a little panicked.

For Bai Mao, he only felt his eyes darken and then light up, and the person had already appeared on a high rock building...

Xiao Jian's operation is actually quite complicated - first, he transmits Baimao to Nanmu space through the faith link.

After entering the Nanmu space, Bai Mao was just like Shao Youxian, sluggish and completely unconscious.

At this time, Xiao Jian took back his clone and used [Forged Body] on the black-haired man in the "Windmill World".

Finally, through the faith link between the main body and the clone, Bai Mao is teleported to the rooftop of the tall building.

In "Windmill World", Xiao Jian's clone must of course exist in the form of a raven... but Baimao didn't know this, so it looked more like a weird raven, which made him a little panicked.

"..."

Xiao Jian ignored the white hair on the ground and directly called the black-haired man over through the faith link.

"See Crow God."

The strong black-haired man glanced at the white fur on the ground, then saluted the raven.

This is a simple etiquette specially implemented by Xiao Jian, otherwise these fanatical believers would fall to the ground every time they see him, which would delay things too much.

"Find a few people who are okay and let's do an experiment..."

Raven spoke.

"yes."

The black-haired burly man didn't ask Xiao Jian what kind of experiment he wanted to do, and directly called over everyone who had no work at hand.

When everyone arrived, there were almost 30 people gathered on the rooftop.

"Hey! What are you talking about!? Is there anyone who can speak Chinese! Hey! Pay attention to me!"

Baimao, who was tied to the ground, shouted, but unfortunately no one except Xiao Jian could understand what he was saying.

"Damn! Damn Zhang Jinyu! Damn Zhang Weidong... I agreed to be exiled! Why should I be sacrificed to these monsters!"

"Yes... they must be colluding with the spirits behind them!"

"Hahaha... OK, OK! Is this how you play?"

"Everyone must die..."

"Everyone is food for monsters...hahahaha..."

"They all have to die..."

"..."

The uncared-for Bai Mao gradually fell into madness...

In other words, fear overwhelmed his reason.

I was suddenly taken to a strange place and given a spirit...

The problem is that this monster called a bunch of foreign guys and wanted to experiment on him!

"Ugh... I was wrong! I want to go home!"

"Let me go! Please!"

"I am the Awakened! I am still useful!"

"don't want……"

"Wow……"

As the burly men gathered around him, Bai Mao became more and more desperate, and finally cried "Wow"!

Xiao Jian glanced at Baimao in surprise. He didn't expect that this kid would cry.

Even in the public trial before, this white hair seemed very tough, and even cursed Zhang Weidong and the members who formed the temporary court.

Even at the last moment, when Xiao Jian was taking him away, his face still had a rebellious look.

Unexpectedly, after more than ten minutes, this guy suddenly collapsed...

...Maybe this means not seeing the coffin without crying?

"Okay, stop crying!" Raven said impatiently, "I'm not trying to kill you, I'm just doing a simple faith experiment... Just relax."

"An experiment of faith?"

Bai Mao was stunned for a while and found that those sturdy men did not attack him, but just knelt in a circle around him.

"Well, I'm going to see if you can believe in me..." After the raven finished speaking, he said to the black-haired man next to him, "You can start now."

"yes."

The strong black-haired man also lowered his head and knelt beside him, and followed the others and began to pray.

What Xiao Jian wanted to do was to see if the power of the storm of faith could brainwash an unrelated person.

Anyway, if Baimao was really exiled, he would probably die... It would be better to be brainwashed into a fanatic, so that he could at least live.

As the prayers gradually synchronized, Baimao gradually calmed down, and even changed to a more comfortable posture...

Ten minutes passed.

Twenty minutes passed...

...The storm of faith has never formed.

"..."

In the courtyard, Xiao Jian frowned.

Could it be that the previous storm of faith was just a coincidence?

Or is it that the fanatics can no longer stir up a storm of faith?

While Xiao Jian was thinking about this question, Baimao had completely relaxed.

"Oh, that's it?"

"That's it?"

"You still want to brainwash your grandpa?"

"Tsk~ overestimate your ability!"

"..."

Raven looked at Baimao in disbelief - how did this guy manage to jump back and forth so smoothly?

The tears on his face haven't dried yet! He has just "escaped from danger" and he has become arrogant... It is hard to imagine how there can be such a weird person in the world?

"Humph, you guys are no good! I don't understand how you are brainwashing me?"

"What the hell!"

"...Are you calling me dad? Ahaha..."

"..."

No!

Raven carefully observed Baimao's mental state and found that he was indeed a little abnormal - his speech speed was very fast. Maybe Baimao himself didn't feel it, but to outsiders, his words had been accelerated several times!

It sounded like a very sharp and short "squeak" sound...

If you don't distinguish carefully, you can't hear what he is saying at all!

Just when Baimao's condition was getting worse and worse, Xiao Jian suddenly had an idea in his heart - the faith link was triggered!

After nearly half an hour of prayer, the faith storm finally formed!

Xiao Jian immediately cheered up and observed Baimao's every move.

In addition to the speed of speech, his movements seemed to be accelerated!

From the frequency of breathing to the speed of eyeball movement, Baimao's whole body seemed to be fast-forwarded... and the strangest thing is that he himself didn't realize it!

Even Baimao himself didn't realize that the words he said in the storm of faith gradually changed from Chinese to English.

This is a bit scary... After all, before, he could only understand the prayer word "father", but gradually he could already speak fluent English!

The change is still continuing.

At some point in time, Baimao's eyes suddenly became hazy, and the complaints in his mouth gradually turned into intermittent prayers.

Although Xiao Jian had paid full attention, that time point still flashed by.

After this time point, Baimao, who was not originally a believer of Xiao Jian, had the [Faith] feature on his character card.

And the interesting thing is that Baimao's belief is not "God", "Cat God" or any other god, but the same "Crow God" as the black-haired strong man.

This is very interesting...

"...Maybe it has something to do with this 'acceleration'? Or is it related to brainwashing? Or is it a problem with the prayer?"

Xiao Jian muttered to himself.

Xiao Jian did not see the last faith storm with his own eyes, so he did not observe any signs of this "acceleration".

However, this "acceleration" seems to only affect Baimao himself.

Or, it affects him as a non-believer.

When the Crow God [Faith] appeared on Baimao's character card, his speech speed quickly returned to normal, and he even joined other fanatics and began to recite the prayer together.

It took Baimao less than 5 minutes from the appearance of the [Faith] feature to the transformation into a fanatic.

But the faith storm continued, and even if Xiao Jian had ordered them to stop, they still could not stop.

Xiao Jian had to bypass all the fanatics themselves and directly use faith to manipulate their bodies, and then forcibly stopped the faith storm.

"Hu... Huchi..."

"Hu..."

When the faith storm stopped, everyone was breathing hard, as if they had done some high-intensity physical activity.

Although these strong men were basically former "salvagers", such a storm of faith still consumed a lot of their physical strength.

As an awakener who was much stronger than the "salvagers", Baimao's performance was even worse than those former "salvagers".

Perhaps because he had always been in the center of the storm, he consumed more physical strength, so when the storm of faith stopped, Baimao lay directly on the ground and could not move.

Although he did not faint directly like the black-haired strong men before, the ground under him was also soaked with a lot of sweat.

Looking at Baimao who seemed to have just been fished out of the water, Raven asked: "Baimao, do you remember what happened just now?"

"Reporting to the Raven God, I just experienced a baptism of life... I finally realized my insignificance and cowardice, and found the destination of my rest of my life!"

"Faith! Only the faith of the Raven God is the meaning of my survival!"

"Amen!"

Although Baimao was very tired, he still answered Xiao Jian's questions very seriously.

However... he is now using English!

After the storm of faith just now, even his mother tongue has changed!

Xiao Jian looked at him in silence for a while, and suddenly asked: "Answer me in Chinese."

"..."

Bai Mao was stunned by Xiao Jian's order, as if he was stuck in a bug, his lips trembled for a long time without uttering a word.

But after all, he still said in Chinese: "Yes, respected Crow God, I will follow your will."

It's just that this sentence in Chinese is extremely stiff, as if a foreigner who has just learned Chinese for a few days.

And the pronunciation and intonation of this Chinese sentence are also completely copied from English habits.

"..."

After a short silence, Xiao Jian ordered: "From today on, you are Wolf's deputy, and you must obey his orders at ordinary times."

"Yes."

Bai Mao replied respectfully, no longer arrogant.

"Untie him, and take him down to rest... All of you go down to rest."

"Yes!"

After everyone responded in unison, they took Bai Mao away together.

Xiao Jian carefully observed Baimao and found that his mind was still normal, and his voice was exactly the same as before.

It can be said that while Baimao's biological characteristics remained unchanged, he seemed to have completely changed inside.

It was as if... a system had been reinstalled.

Xiao Jian simply stopped the raven directly on the top floor and continued to observe Baimao and all the fanatics.

However, everything about Baimao was so normal...

It was so normal that Xiao Jian began to doubt whether the arrogant and domineering mental guy before was his illusion.

The brainwashing effect of the storm of faith was so terrifying?

...

On the other hand, Fortress Town.

Dahuang, who first came to the fragment of this world, seemed so curious about everything.

He ran to the flowers to turn the soil and catch insects, and then he slipped to the farm town to curiously observe chickens, ducks, geese, pigs and cows.

During this whole day, Dahuang's footprints were all over the Fortress Town, and even the huge saltwater swamp "south" of the Fortress Town had its presence.

This swamp was the seawater that Xiao Jian brought from the South Five Fortress when the monsters attacked the city.

At that time, this artificial saltwater swamp played a good delaying effect, but now it has become a thorny problem.

Especially after it started to rain, the dead water pit was replenished, and the swamp became more difficult to clear.

But it is not without benefits - at least the salt reserves have been greatly increased.

Da Huang strolled around the entire fortress town for a long time, and finally came to a small courtyard full of plants.

This is the hut that Xiao Jian built for Lucia, and it is also the most common view that Da Huang sees when he uses a monocle to "watch TV".

After seeing the scenery on the "TV", Da Huang was slightly stunned, but soon it tiptoed to the window of the hut and looked inside.
