Chapter 77 [False God] (Please subscribe!)
Outside the metal arch of the East Cathedral.
Wallis watched Chen Fan's receding back with hesitation.
According to previous experience, shouldn't Chen Fan take advantage of this great opportunity to make trouble in the library?
No, to be more precise, this crisis that affected the entire cathedral should have been caused by Chen Fan alone!
But now...
not only did Chen Fan not enter the library, he even turned around and left the church without hesitation after learning that the cathedral was shut down!
What the hell?
This sudden and cool operation made Wallis unable to handle it. For
a moment, Wallis couldn't help but fall into deep self-doubt:
Did Chen Fan really just come to the library to check the classics?
Did he wrongly accuse a good person?
Just as Wallis was doubting himself, a heavy sound of footsteps suddenly came from behind him.
Wallis turned around and saluted the visitor, saying, "Your Excellency the Archbishop, Chen Fan..."
The Archbishop in a blood-red robe narrowed his four mechanical eyes, looked at Chen Fan's back gradually disappearing at the corner of the street, and shook his head slowly.
"The statue has been completely damaged, but the Pope has read all the records before the statue was damaged."
"Chen Fan did not do anything unusual, he just followed Isa to the library."
"What about Isa?!" Wallis, who had a psychological shadow on Chen Fan, asked subconsciously, "Is it possible that she..."
The Archbishop shook his head: "I checked all the items Isa carried."
"There is nothing abnormal."
Wallis raised his hand and scratched his steel forehead, making a rustling sound: "Then..."
The Archbishop gave a conclusion: "It should be just a coincidence."
"Since the founding of Varela, the internal lines of the cathedral have not been maintained."
"The Pope believes that this should be a chain reaction caused by the large-scale aging of the lines."
"After the God's Chosen Ceremony, the lines of other churches must also be inspected and maintained."
Wallis did not speak, but nodded silently.
Although he still had a strong sense of uneasiness in his heart.
But the Pope had spoken, and if he questioned it again, he would be confused about the difference between the big and small kings.
...
Time passed quickly.
Late at night, the living room of Xu Huai's house was brightly lit -
Yi was conscientiously fulfilling the duties of a light bulb, dispelling the endless darkness in the living room.
"The machine said that this machine is not a light bulb."
"This machine is at least a technological creation of the ninth-level civilization. Can you have a little respect for this machine?"
Chen Fan just shrugged indifferently at Yi's whisper.
What's wrong with a technological creation of the ninth-level civilization?
Designed to look like a glove, he didn't use the smart terminal as a boxing glove, which was worthy of it.
Then again, if this is really used as a boxing glove...
the effect should be good, right?
Thinking of the smart terminal's shell that was so sturdy that it was beyond common sense, Chen Fan couldn't help but feel a little moved.
Yi obviously noticed what Chen Fan was thinking - it silently closed its mouth and even adjusted the softness of the light.
Chen Fan glanced at the holographic panel hanging beside him: "It's almost time for bedtime prayers, you should pay attention and don't miss it."
Yi was silent for a moment, and responded with a somewhat frustrated tone.
"Don't worry, this machine is very reliable."
On the side, Xu Huai and Gao Yuan looked extremely serious, and they didn't look as cheerful as Chen Fan.
Looking at the relaxed expression on Chen Fan's face, Gao Yuan wanted to say something but stopped.
In the end, Xu Huai took the lead in asking.
"Chen Fan, are you sure that the church won't find out if we do this?"
Chen Fan waved his hand calmly: "Don't worry, the surveillance network outside the city is now under the full control of Yi, and the images that the Pope saw were all false images provided by Yi."
"But...what about the goddess?"
Gao Yuan couldn't help himself: "Won't the goddess be angry about our actions?"
Seeing the anxious look in Gao Yuan's eyes, Chen Fan straightened his expression:
"It's not a big problem, I have already greeted the goddess."
Gao Yuan's expression froze: "......?"
On the side, Xu Huai pursed her thin lips hard, but the slight smile in her eyes and the faint arc at the corners of her mouth still betrayed her inner thoughts.
"Time's up."
An electronic synthesized voice came from Chen Fan's right hand: "The awakening plan is about to begin, please make the final confirmation."
Chen Fan restrained his expression and nodded solemnly.
"Confirmed."
"Received." Yi's voice continued to sound, "Signal switching has been completed, connecting to the lower-level nodes."
"Number of connected signal nodes: 791...1972...4893...16321."
Looking at the growing numbers, Chen Fan took a deep breath and calmed down the excitement in his heart.
Next, it is the first step of the awakening plan:
[False God]
...
Varilla North City.
The sky is dim and the heavy clouds block the stars and the moon in the sky.
In a low-rise house with only one floor, the dim light struggled to illuminate the entire living room, and then squeezed out from the slightly opened door with difficulty, bringing a faint light to this dim world.
The room was quiet.
A woman with a hunched back carefully brushed the dust on the statue, and muttered words that others could not hear clearly.
Next to the woman, a little girl was blinking her big eyes, watching the woman's movements curiously.
"Nannan, do you remember what day tomorrow is?"
As if she noticed the little girl's gaze, the woman stopped what she was doing, turned around and touched the little girl's head, and asked softly.
"Tomorrow..."
The little girl frowned and thought carefully for a long time: "Tomorrow... is the God's Chosen Ceremony!"
Hearing this, the woman narrowed her eyes slightly, and thick wrinkles appeared at the corners of her eyes: "That's right!"
"Then do you remember what the God's Chosen Ceremony is for?"
"It's... It's the ceremony for the goddess to select the Chosen One."
The woman nodded with satisfaction, stretched out her hand and carefully brushed the last bit of dust on the statue, pointed to the two cushions on the cold concrete floor: "The time is up, pray to the goddess well, maybe tomorrow you will be elected as the Chosen One."
The little girl nodded a little confusedly, and then knelt on the cushion in front of her at the woman's instruction.
Before the woman could continue speaking, she subconsciously closed her eyes, put her hands together, and recited the standard prayer.
The woman looked at the girl's slightly trembling eyelashes from the side and sighed silently.
Then, she also knelt on the mat, bent down devoutly, put her forehead on the cold cement floor, and recited a vague prayer from the bottom of her heart.
Suddenly!
A faint voice came from the front.
Before the woman and the little girl could react, a familiar stiff synthesized voice came from the goddess statue placed on the shrine.
"My devout believer..."
ps: Thanks to [Xiaoqiu MAX] for the reward! Thank you!
I wish you a prosperous new year! ! !
