Chapter 859 [Heavenly Father]



"Your mission is to help the academy win, and my mission is to choose a camp to support, and at the same time, to oppose the Chosen One."

Lu Ban said.

What he originally thought was to find those hostile Chosen Ones and then choose a different camp from them. Now that Du Danping's mission is to support the academy, he will naturally follow suit.

As for Lu Ban, the chosen ones from other camps actually have other functions.

"Most of these hostile chosen ones have ill intentions towards these foreign lands. Their actions will inevitably cause some harm here. We just need to find these harms and make them public. Then most people should be able to see clearly what they should choose."

Lu Ban’s idea is very simple.

If they were all God's Chosen Ones like Four-Eyed Murloc, they would most likely come up with some bad ideas. As long as they were exposed and then resolved, the remaining members of the Senate would most likely choose the academy.

After all, people are not blind. It is impossible for them to see that this option will do them no good but only harm them and still want to bang their head against the wall to give it a try.

“That’s indeed one way.”

Du Danping agreed.

"But the hostile chosen ones who can participate in this mission must be no simple people. You must be careful."

He was not worried about himself because Du Danping's mission did not involve any confrontation, so in theory, those hostile Chosen Ones would be unaware of his existence, and it was obvious that Lu Ban would confront them head-on.

"Don't worry about that."

Lu Ban thought about it and decided not to tell Du Danping that he had been to those foreign lands to cause trouble and had witnessed the decline and fall of those worlds.

"On the one hand, we will improve the reputation and prestige of the academy among the members of the Senate and show them the benefits of exploring the ruins. On the other hand, we will look for possible Chosen Ones from other forces and defeat them."

Du Danping quickly summarized their mission objectives.

"Also, there may be cultists in the city, so we have to be on guard as well."

He reminded again.

"Cultists?"

Lu Ban was a little curious about what kind of mysterious organization there was in the wilderness.

"Originally, there were some signs of infiltration by other Great Old Ones in the wasteland. They mostly influenced some ordinary people with higher inspiration through whispering, bewitching them to spread their names. However, due to the existence of the Zerg, these beliefs could not be well gathered and formed into a system."

Du Danping explained.

“But now that the Zerg has disappeared, many beliefs in gods that were once hidden have begun to sprout, and some of them even secretly control the city-states.”

He put down the book in his hand and picked up the written note on the rough paper beside him.

"Among them, the most noteworthy one is Heavenly Father. He was the first god to spread his existence in the wasteland. As far as I know, at least one city-state has become his paradise."

When Lu Ban heard the name, he quickly thought of the statue he had seen before.

The description of the statue was that it came from the wilderness. Lu Ban once obtained a statue of God the Father on the way to escort Amber to the Washima Shrine. The two statues could generate induction and communication between them. He had previously thought that it was just a communicator.

Now it seems that there is indeed a god whose nickname is "Heavenly Father"?

"The Heavenly Father spreads disease, plague, and corruption. His followers will become alienated to varying degrees, becoming monsters such as the living dead, ghouls, and zombies. Moreover, these followers will continue to spread disease. For civilization, the existence of the Heavenly Father is a huge threat."

Du Danping explained.

"Most of Heavenly Father's followers hold a statue of Him. This statue can create diseases through certain unique rituals. What they like to do most is to spread these diseases and corruption in crowded cities, so that everyone in the city becomes like them. After accepting Heavenly Father's faith, the pain of the disease and the distortion of corruption will turn into pleasant pleasure, making them intoxicated."

"It's a bit perverted."

Lu Ban heard this and commented.

Du Danping looked at Lu Ban, then at Feng Yu, unable to make any comment, and then spoke.

"I suspect that some of Heavenly Father's followers have come to Utopia and are trying to create chaos. At the same time, their army should also be heading towards Utopia, preparing to start a war."

"But according to what you said, these followers of Heavenly Father are all severely corrupted. Isn't it easy to recognize them at a glance?"

Feng Yu asked.

"Not necessarily. The so-called corruption is not just on the surface. Just like a disease, physical and psychological diseases are both symptoms. Although some of Heavenly Father's followers look like ordinary people, their hearts have long been seriously distorted. These followers will blend into the crowd and spread the pollution."

Du Danping put away the notebook and put the book on the table back into the bookshelf.

"It can be said that we not only need to win the election, but also need to deal with the chosen ones from other foreign lands and the believers of the Heavenly Father. If any of these points are not done, Utopia may be destroyed."

"I'm not very good at dealing with people. Let me take care of finding those chosen ones and Heavenly Father's believers."

Lu Ban said.

Campaigning and canvassing for votes are not what Lu Ban is good at. He is only good at writing a few words in people's minds.

Fighting monsters is more suitable for Lu Ban.

"Don't worry about it. I will attend a banquet tonight. Several influential people in the Senate will be present. We can contact these people at that time to see if the Chosen Ones from other camps are present."

Du Danping laughed.

"banquet……"

Feng Yu glanced at Lu Ban.

She suddenly felt that if Lu Ban went there, the election for the college might be more difficult.

"What's wrong? A banquet means good food. We can have a good meal."

Lu Ban looked at Feng Yu and said excitedly.

"You should eat more then."

Feng Yu said perfunctorily.

"no problem!"

Lu Ban answered decisively.

He and Feng Yu changed into the clothes prepared by Du Danping for the banquet, and in the evening, they arrived at the door of a building under the pyramid.

This building is different from other purely functional buildings. Lifelike animals and plants are carved on the pillars. It looks magnificent, with bright lights and bustling crowds of people.

Lu Ban was wearing a plain robe, which represented a scholar's robe and was the symbol of the academy. On the back, there was the academy's eye icon.

Feng Yu was wearing a light white long skirt and sandals. She was a well-developed lady in her twenties at least. She was much more elegant than those young people in Huangyuan who had to take on management responsibilities in their teens. She attracted many people's attention as soon as she appeared.

However, when Feng Yu took Lu Ban's hand, those men all showed disappointed expressions.

Lu Ban only looked at the food at the banquet.

A wide variety of food was placed on the table. Compared to the brown paste we ate during the day, this place was simply a paradise for food.

Lu Ban picked up a piece of food that looked like the leg of some creature, looked at the slightly charred surface, and swallowed.

"What's this?"

He asked the waiter who was probably only fourteen or fifteen years old.

"It's a bug's leg."

The female waiter was stunned, then answered.

Lu Ban's face wrinkled into a bitter gourd.
