Chapter 43 Comrade

Time passed by bit by bit, and Chen Fan continued to perfect the plan in his mind.

Beside him, Gao Yuan still held his head tightly with both hands, sitting on the cold concrete floor with a dull look.

His bloodshot eyes stared at the slowly moving shadow of the window on the concrete floor without focus.

The church deceived the believers, and this matter has deeply shaken the worldview of this pure-minded Chosen One.

"Ah."

Chen Fan sighed lightly and decided to enlighten this poor Chosen One for the sake of the previous intelligence: "The church just concealed some truths, there is no need to be so uncomfortable."

"The clergy of the church are also human beings. It is normal for people to have selfish desires."

"You should also know those goddess statues, right?"

"Those statues, to put it bluntly, are just tools used by the church to monitor and control believers."

Gao Yuan's eyes moved slightly: "They... Aren't they afraid of the goddess' punishment?"

Chen Fan's face was a little strange.

Goddess?

Whether there is a goddess in this world is still an unknown!

Of course, this must not be said directly to Gao Yuan, otherwise he would most likely see the second Chosen One whose faith collapsed.

Well, the first one is himself.

"Think about it."

Chen Fan lied against his conscience: "The goddess is far away in the kingdom of God, so naturally she can't take care of the trivial matters of the world."

"Then...why did the church do this?"

Gao Yuan asked blankly.

"Of course, it is to strengthen its ruling position."

From theology to human enlightenment, from religion to the Renaissance, Chen Fan racked his brains, mixed all kinds of religious beliefs and the glorious ideas of human nature, and instilled them all into Gao Yuan in front of him.

The main point is that one dares to speak, and the other dares to listen.

As for Gao Yuan...

because the fragrance in the library caused a lot of damage to his brain, he was already a little unable to keep up with Chen Fan's thoughts at this time, and could only stand there, passively accepting the knowledge indoctrination from Chen Fan.

"This is the basic concept of people-oriented." Chen Fan cleared his throat and concluded, "Do you understand?"

"...I think I understand a little bit."

Gao Yuan looked at Chen Fan who was drinking water from the cup, nodded, shook his head, and his thick eyebrows were completely twisted into a ball.

"You are right, we should indeed overthrow the rule of the church."

"Puff!"

"Cough cough cough!!!"

Chen Fan spit out the water in his mouth that he had not swallowed yet, and coughed violently.

God knows, he has never instilled such knowledge into Gao Yuan!

Just as Chen Fan coughed, Gao Yuan next to him didn't know what he was thinking in his mind, and nodded seriously: "The church deceives the superiors and the subordinates, and takes human lives in the name of the Lord. As God's chosen ones, we should correct the chaos and lead the church in the right direction!"

Chen Fan was numb.

He just wanted to brainwash Gao Yuan a little, so that he would not be unable to accept the truth of the false god like the original owner.

The result turned out to be like this.

What the hell is this?

In a different world, I who only wanted to survive became the leader of a rebellion?

Looking at Gao Yuan's eyes that suddenly became firm, Chen Fan hesitated for a moment, but finally gave up the idea of ​​explaining.

Although Gao Yuan's idea was a little bit crooked, it could at least help him get rid of the crisis of faith collapse temporarily.

Besides, Chen Fan really needed a capable helper to implement some of his plans. Gao Yuan, who was also a chosen one, was naturally the best choice.

So.

Facing Gao Yuan's firm eyes, Chen Fan nodded silently, with an extremely complicated smile on his face.

"Now, we are comrades."

...

Eastern Church.

The work of clergy is not easy.

Especially for priests of neither high nor low status.

Not only do they have to complete various tasks arranged by the bishop, but they also have to deal with various trivial matters reported by the deacons, and even solve various requirements of the chosen ones.

It is the most thankless priesthood.

Isa, who had just been promoted to priest not long ago, wore a wide black robe and carefully followed a group of priests who were also wearing black robes. She passed under the arched metal door and walked into the wide main hall of the church.

Looking at the holographic goddess statue in sacred robes in the main hall, she followed the actions of the other priests to complete her daily prayers.

According to the order of the bishop, this morning she needs to lead several deacons to the East City District of Varela to complete the final publicity work.

In the afternoon, she needs to follow the other priests to the place where God descends to complete the preliminary arrangements for the God's Descent Ceremony.

Before that, she needs to go to the side hall of the East Main Church to report to the bishop on the progress of the announcement of the God's Descent Ceremony.

She walked cautiously and tried to walk on both sides of the internal passage of the church as much as possible.

Like other priests or deacons, in order to avoid trouble, the moment she saw the Chosen One in a white and gold robe, she followed the other priests to take a detour.

Gradually, the number of priests and deacons around her became fewer and fewer, and she successfully arrived at her destination-the side hall of the East Main Church.

Looking at the half-open door of the side hall, Isa took a deep breath. After making sufficient psychological preparations, she stepped forward and stretched out her mechanical prosthesis from under the wide black robe to push open the door of the hall.

Suddenly.

A familiar stiff synthetic voice came from inside the door: "Last night, banned books were found in the library."

It was the voice of the archbishop!

Isa hurriedly retracted her hand.

Banned books?

Isa was shocked, and a thought quickly crossed her mind: the priests who were in charge of the library might be in trouble.

By the way, did she know anyone among those priests?

Isa's thoughts spread out involuntarily.

"The banned books have been dealt with."

The recognizable voice of the archbishop continued: "But there is still a problem." "

The banned book called "Simple Mechanical Principles" has been checked by a Chosen One named Chen Fan."

The archbishop paused: "To be precise, it was the Chosen One named Chen Fan who took the book off the bookshelf and conducted a detailed review."

Chen Fan!

Hearing this familiar name, Isa's mind quickly emerged with a figure wearing a white and gold short robe - the clothing of the Chosen One is mainly divided into two types, one of which is relatively formal, with a white and gold main color robe, and the style is similar to the robes of clergy; the other is a relatively casual dress, with the main color of white and gold, and the style is a short robe.

Then, she recalled the scene where the Chosen One helped her out of trouble twice in a row.

Although it was a bit cliché, Isa, who had been a clergyman in the church for a long time, still remembered this unique Chosen One because of this incident.

Since she entered the church as a clergyman, she has never seen such a good-talking Chosen One!
