Night Watch Headquarters.
Knock knock knock——!
"Enter."
The door of the commander-in-chief's office opened, and Min Junliang and a girl wearing a peaked cap stood at the door.
"Commander, Miss Chloe is here."
In the office, Seraphim Lin Qiye and Monk Fate turned their heads at the same time, and two identical faces looked at Chloe. Chloe subconsciously took a step back, her eyes full of surprise.
She was about to say something when a familiar voice came from behind her:
"Long time no see. I thought you wouldn't be here for a few days."
Chloe looked back and saw another face of Lin Qiye. Beside him was a silver-haired girl in a cloak, who was looking at her curiously.
Chloe glanced at Lin Qiye, then at the Seraph Lin Qiye in the office, and the expressionless monk of fate... She rubbed her temples and muttered to herself:
"It's over, it's over... It seems that the consumption of the Second Covenant is too great, and people are seeing double."
Lin Qiye: ...
"No, you have my covenant on you, you are Lin Qiye...then who are the other two?" Chloe looked into the office blankly.
"The one on the left is my clone, and the one on the right is destiny...which is also the [predestined result]." Lin Qiye introduced.
"【The Destined Result】?" Chloe looked at the monk of fate and asked in surprise, "Is he the clay Buddha statue from that year?"
"It's me."
The fateful monk spoke calmly.
"Tsk tsk tsk... I have to say, the three of you standing together are really spectacular." Ji Nian couldn't help but say, "So, who is going to receive my bombardment? Should I attack you one by one, or should I attack you five times?"
Lin Qiye raised his eyebrows and pointed at the monk Fate without hesitation:
"He came alone."
Fateful Monk: ???
"This is Jinian, the president of Shangxie Society, and this is Chloe, a missionary of the Western Holy Church." Lin Qiye introduced the two to each other again. Jinian took the initiative to extend his hand and shook hands with Chloe.
"President Memorial, I've met you before." Chloe said with a smile.
Ji Nian was stunned. "Have we met before? When?"
"Many years ago, when you were still a little kid, you walked into the mist from Daxia alone. You looked no higher than Mystery's knees." Chloe's eyes flashed with reminiscence.
"After I found you, I was worried that something might happen to you, so I followed you secretly. Later, when I saw you causing chaos in a 'human circle' by yourself, I realized that you were not an ordinary person, so I left on my own."
Chloe, like Lin Qiye, is a person who has lived from two thousand years ago to the present. The difference is that Lin Qiye has basically been in Daxia for the past two thousand years, while Chloe has traveled to various countries. She can be regarded as an antique in the fog.
Hearing Chloe's words, Ji Nian opened his mouth in shock.
"Okay, let's go inside and talk."
Everyone walked into the office, and the Seraph clone beside him consciously walked to the corner, closed his eyes, and stood still like a sculpture.
Lin Qiye, Monk Sufen, Ji Nian, and Chloe gathered around the desk. A huge map of Daxia was placed on the desk. It was covered with dense marks, making people dizzy.
"When I came here, I saw a lot of news along the way." Chloe seemed to have thought of something, "I thought that after the fog dissipated, you would immediately come forward to inform ordinary people of the existence of the gods and the Night Watchmen... But now it seems that they don't seem to know about your existence? Is this also part of your plan?"
Lin Qiye hummed, "From the launch of the Second Covenant to the dissipation of the fog and the subsequent response to the public, we have deduced it many times in the past few years. So far, everything is going according to our plan."
"Why don't you just announce your existence and tell them the truth?" Ji Nian asked in confusion, "There are so many people in Da Xia. After they know the truth, they should be able to gain a lot of power of faith, right?"
"It's not that simple." The monk shook his head. "Faith is not something that will appear immediately after you grab a person and tell him to believe in a certain existence... Chloe should know this best."
Chloe spoke thoughtfully.
"Yes, to be honest, there were a lot of believers in the Western Saints back then, but only a small number of them were able to develop faith... The emergence of faith requires pure and devout prayers, and people can only do this when they are in trouble or at a loss and need some kind of existence to sustenance their spirit.
In fact, to some extent, your [Utopia] is also a source of faith. A large part of the residents living there were rescued from despair by you personally. You gave them freedom and hope, and sheltered them in the dangerous fog. To them, you are their faith.
But for Daxia, people have never had faith in anything. If we talk about gods and night watchmen rashly, it might just make them curious. If we over-promote how great we are, it might disgust people..."
Jinian thought about it carefully and it seemed to be true.
This is like randomly pulling someone on the street and telling him that I am your guardian who has protected you for a hundred years, that you are alive because of me, and that you must believe in me... There is no way others will believe me.
In addition, with the development of Internet technology, there are all kinds of people on the Internet. At this moment, Ji Nian can already think of several confusing remarks:
[What is Night Watch? (#disgusted)? I've never heard of it...]
[No one really believes this, right? (#sweat) (#sweat) (#sweat) Comparing a mortal body to a god? To be honest, I don't believe there is anything that a nuclear bomb can't solve. ]
[You just open your mouth, right? If they kill me in front of me, I will do a live broadcast of washing my hair upside down! My live broadcast room number is 39666...]
[I have been in the army before, and within two years I became the chief of a military region, with several top special forces under my command. To be honest, I have never heard of the Night Watch. Don't be led by others.]
[Is the script so obvious? (#awkward laugh) I don’t know which capital came up with this concept hype. I bet they will start live streaming tomorrow to sell goods…]
"So what are you going to do?" Jin Ji couldn't help but ask back.
"We'll prepare for what we need to do, and then... let nature take its course."
Lin Qiye turned his head and looked out the window. "We don't need to deliberately promote it, nor do we need to pursue faith... Since the world will have to face the truth sooner or later, we just need to do our part, and the rest will fall into place naturally."
