Chapter 16 The truth?
The sun shines through the open wooden door and directly onto the statue sitting on the cement floor.
Under the sunlight, the goddess depicted by the statue becomes more solemn and sacred.
He silently watches everyone who walks into this door, and equally blocks everyone who tries to go through the corridor and into this room.
Xu Huai did not speak, but looked at Chen Fan who had just walked into the house with a vigilant look.
In her opinion, this statue can be regarded as a test.
A test that can almost screen out everyone!
Under Xu Huai's gaze, Chen Fan walked forward without any psychological pressure, then raised his foot and smoothly stepped over the statue placed at the door.
Perhaps because of the sequelae of being "captured" just now, Chen Fan's steps were slightly unstable, and his toes even lightly touched the back of the statue.
Xu Huai's mouth twitched, and the vigilance in his eyes was mostly eliminated-any sane God's Chosen One would not do such a rebellious behavior!
Not to mention the Chosen Ones, even the most ordinary believers would not do such a thing!
Unlike the suspicious Xu Huai, Chen Fan had already subconsciously looked around at this time.
Due to the "professional habits" left over from his previous life, he subconsciously wanted to obtain some basic information from the surrounding environment in an unfamiliar environment.
The interior of the room was quite tidy, and there was a faint fragrance in the circulating air - exactly the same as the fragrance he had just smelled, but more intense.
It can be seen that Xu Huai was not a sloppy person, and the so-called random discarding of the statues naturally became nonsense.
The sun was shining outside, but the room was a little dim.
Chen Fan frowned, subconsciously put his hands together, and whispered: "Lord..."
The words of prayer were stuck in his throat before they were finished.
Unlike his own home, there was no familiar incandescent bulb on the ceiling of Xu Huai's house.
There was an abrupt dark gray pit and a little exposed wire on the ceiling painted white, which was the trace left by the incandescent bulb being forcibly removed!
"Don't look, there's no light at home."
Xu Huai's voice came from behind: "Do you know the reason?"
Without waiting for Chen Fan to speak, Xu Huai shook his head.
"Forget it, this matter is probably still..."
Chen Fan turned around and looked at the flash of loneliness on Xu Huai's face. He said calmly:
"God... He is watching us, right?"
...
The room was dead silent.
The creaking sound of the breeze blowing through the wooden windows echoed in the room.
Chen Fan looked at Xu Huai who was following behind him with an indifferent expression.
At this time, Xu Huai no longer had the previous cold attitude.
She suddenly widened her eyes, her red lips slightly opened, and her pretty face was full of horror.
Under Chen Fan's gaze, she subconsciously took a half step back: "You...you..."
"How could you..."
Chen Fan took over the conversation and took the initiative to hold the dominant position in his hands: "The statue is his eyes to monitor the world. That's why you put the statue at the door to avoid his surveillance. Am I right?"
"But you may be wrong."
"According to my observation, those light bulbs do not have a monitoring function. They can only recognize special voice commands."
As for how he found out...
If the light bulbs have a monitoring function, he would probably have been taken away by the church early this morning - the commotion caused by the cross-universe transmission last night was not small!
Chen Fan's words completely shocked Xu Huai.
She took a deep breath, and after struggling to calm down the shock in her heart, she whispered:
"...You, how did you find out?"
Chen Fan spread his hands: "Is it difficult?"
"Isn't it okay to have a brain?"
Xu Huai's expression stagnated, and his mood, which had finally calmed down, was shaken again because of Chen Fan's words.
"I didn't expect that the first person to realize the problem would be a chosen one..."
Xu Huai laughed self-deprecatingly.
Chen Fan's heart moved.
There was a lot of information hidden in Xu Huai's words!
Seeing that she had no intention of explaining it, Chen Fan could only suppress his confusion in his heart for the time being.
"Can you tell me more about it?" Xu Huai asked again, "How did you realize these problems?"
Chen Fan's face suddenly became strange.
You can't say that he is actually from another universe, so he found out that there is something wrong with this world at first glance, right?
"Ahem!"
He cleared his throat and tried to recall every bit of the original owner's notes: "It's a long story..."
...
More than ten minutes later.
Chen Fan, who was dry-mouthed, breathed a sigh of relief.
Damn, I finally figured it out.
If it weren't for his good memory, he would have been exposed this time!
Xu Huai didn't express any opinions, but nodded thoughtfully.
"So..."
Chen Fan calmed down and asked Xu Huai: "Can you tell me the information you know?"
"What is the situation in this world?"
"What is the so-called God? What about the church and the Chosen One?"
Faced with several questions raised by Chen Fan in succession, Xu Huai hesitated again and again and slowly shook his head:
"Sorry, I can't."
The expression on Chen Fan's face froze.
It's come to this point, and you tell me this?
Are you kidding me!
An inexplicable anger of being played with rose from Chen Fan's heart.
Perhaps sensing Chen Fan's anger, Xu Huai began to explain: "I have revealed the truth of this world to many people."
"Unfortunately, no one believes what I say."
"Actually, I can understand that."
Xu Huai smiled silently: "Sometimes the truth is too bizarre, so bizarre that no one will believe it."
Looking at the faint sadness in Xu Huai's eyes, Chen Fan suddenly fell silent, and the trace of anger in his heart slowly dissipated.
He can understand Xu Huai's words as he has a certain understanding of human nature and psychology.
It is indeed difficult for humans to accept information that is too beyond their own cognition.
Usually, the brain will classify such information as false information.
But there are exceptions to everything.
Once a person completely believes in this information beyond cognition, it may lead to another consequence.
For example, the original owner of this body.
After realizing that the so-called gods are nothing but a big lie, his faith and spirit completely collapsed.
The cruel truth is not something that everyone is qualified to touch at will.
"After experiencing several failures and even nearly paying for my life, I have deeply realized one thing."
Xu Huai said to himself: "Hearing is false, seeing is true."
"People always believe what they see."
Xu Huai said, shaking his head with a bitter face: "Although your understanding of God far exceeds my expectations, but..."
"I still don't think the truth I know is what you can accept now."
Chen Fan couldn't help but twitch his mouth.
After experiencing major changes such as time travel in just a few dozen hours, Chen Fan didn't think there was anything in the world that could affect his extremely tough worldview!
But...
Xu Huai obviously didn't think so.
After experiencing several failures, she had to be more cautious.
After a moment of silence, Xu Huai stared into Chen Fan's eyes and whispered: "Find time to go to the church to learn about the history of this city."
"The truth is often hidden in some inconspicuous corners."
"Although they have revised all the history books,... there are still some loopholes after all."
"From these loopholes, you may have a clearer understanding of the so-called God."
ps: I wish all readers a happy winter solstice.
