Chapter 2 The Strangeness
Chen Fan suddenly raised his head and looked at the statue on the table with an unbelievable look.
The statue spoke!
This is not the most shocking thing.
To be fair, considering the environment he is in, Chen Fan thinks he can still accept the statue speaking or the fact that the god is obviously effective.
After all, no one can predict what will happen in the other world. What if there are gods in this world? What
Chen Fan really couldn't accept was that a statue made a stiff electronic synthesized sound, and explained the superstitious statement he put forward in an extremely scientific way!
Listen, is this reasonable?
In stark contrast to Chen Fan's reaction, his mother on the side had already shown a happy expression, and knelt down in front of the statue with her five bodies prostrated, and she was still muttering words such as thanking the gods.
Theology and science, in a weird way, blended with each other and presented to Chen Fan.
Worship the electronic gods and pray for cyber wishes?
At this moment, Chen Fan only felt that his already shaky worldview had been shaken unprecedentedly.
"Xiao Fan!"
The mother's voice urged: "What are you standing there for? Why don't you thank the gods for their teachings?!"
As she spoke, the middle-aged woman, who was afraid of angering the gods, raised her hand and gently slapped Chen Fan on the shoulder.
"Pa!"
The crisp sound interrupted Chen Fan's thoughts and pulled him back to reality.
Seeing the anxious look on his mother's face and the faint fear hidden deep in her eyes, Chen Fan was shocked and subconsciously followed his mother to bow down in front of the statue.
"Lord..."
As his mother's murmur came from the side, Chen Fan, who had recovered from his shock, felt an inexplicable chill behind him.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to get up, he quickly raised his head and glanced at the statue on the table.
Not only psychological factors but also light and shadow effects, in his eyes, the faint smile on the face of the statue began to become weird.
...
After worshiping the statue, it was dinner time.
Chen Fan, who had just had his worldview washed away, was obviously not very interested in the dishes on the table.
But considering maintaining his own personality and not causing more disputes, he still ate the food in front of him in a disjointed manner under his mother's gaze.
Chen Fan swallowed the unknown vegetable in his mouth that looked like the root of some plant with difficulty.
Feeling the faint astringency spreading from the root of his tongue, the details of the worship of the statue just now emerged in his mind one by one, and he began to carefully analyze the hidden information in his heart.
Although his mother concealed it well, he still noticed the deep fear in his mother's bones when she worshipped the statue.
It can be imagined that a lot of his mother's respectful attitude towards the statue is probably due to this unexplained fear.
This point is obviously not explained by simple religious beliefs-under normal circumstances, gods cannot bring fear to believers.
All living things seek benefits and avoid harm, and so do people.
If gods bring negative emotions to believers, then this belief is destined not to exist for a long time.
Unless...
this god really exists in the world!
I am afraid that only real gods can firmly grasp their believers with thorough fear!
Thinking of this, Chen Fan suddenly felt a dense goose bump all over his body.
He subconsciously took two bites of the food in the bowl, using the movements of chewing and swallowing to hide the horror in his heart.
"Xiao Fan?"
The mother looked at Chen Fan sitting opposite her with worry, and hesitated to say: "You..."
On the one hand, she was really worried about her child's mental state.
After coming out of the room, Chen Fan's behavior always made her feel a little strange, as if he had become a different person.
On the other hand, she didn't want to, or dared not, investigate it in detail.
She didn't want Chen Fan to lock herself in the room again because of her doubts, not to mention... Chen Fan, who had just become the Chosen One of God, had a status far higher than hers.
"I'm fine."
Chen Fan came back to his senses, looked at his mother, and then quickly looked away. After taking a bite of the food in the bowl, he pretended to be indifferent and asked, "Mom, did you feel that the voice of the statue was a little strange today?"
"The voice was a little strange?" The mother frowned immediately, as if she was recalling something.
After a while, she shook her head: "No."
"The god has always had this voice." The mother repeated in an affirmative tone, "You must have heard it wrong!"
This sentence directly set off a storm in Chen Fan's heart!
It has always been this voice!
This means that whether it is the statue speaking or the stiff electronic synthesized sound, it is very normal in the eyes of the mother!
Chen Fan tried his best to keep his facial expression calm, but the fear and doubt in his heart inevitably revealed signs in his eyes.
This little sign naturally did not escape the mother's eyes.
She frowned, as if she was thinking about something.
For a moment, the living room fell into a strange silence, and Chen Fan also subconsciously accelerated the action of picking up the food.
There is obviously a big problem in this world!
In order to obtain information about this world safely, he could only place his hopes on the handwriting in the room!
The mother let out a long sigh, breaking the silence that lasted for several minutes.
"Huh..."
She looked at Chen Fan with soft eyes: "Xiao Fan."
"You have just become the Chosen One, it is normal to feel stressed."
"There is still a lot of time before the next Chosen Ceremony, you can slowly adjust your state and relax."
The mother's voice paused slightly, and after a moment of hesitation, she said again: "Those words just now..."
"I will pretend that I didn't hear them, and you should also forget those words that disobeyed the gods."
"Otherwise..."
The mother sighed and did not continue.
Chen Fan's expression became solemn.
Although he didn't know what the Chosen Ceremony his mother was talking about, he thought from the bottom of his heart that this would not be a good thing when he thought of the strange scenes in the previous style.
While nodding in agreement, Chen Fan's sense of crisis in his heart also rose a lot again.
...
After dinner, Chen Fan walked into his room again under the gaze of his mother.
The wooden door closed slowly, blocking the mother's worried eyes and the strange atmosphere brought by the statue in the living room.
The room was dark, and Chen Fan took a few deep breaths, and his originally tense nerves seemed to relax.
He raised his slightly trembling hands, lowered his eyelids, and imitated his mother's movements to pray: "Lord, please give the world light..."
A dim light burst out from the top of his head, tearing the darkness in the room with an unmatched momentum.
Oh, it's still voice-controlled.
Chen Fan pulled the corners of his mouth weakly, and sighed in his heart as if he was having fun in the midst of suffering.
Human beings yearn for light, there is no doubt about it.
But this light did not bring any comfort and warmth to Chen Fan.
On the contrary, as the incandescent light came on, the sense of crisis and oppression that had slightly receded swept over again!
Chen Fan suddenly held his breath - right in front of him, the gods were looking down at him from above!
