This is a community with a strong sense of life.
Divided by the wide road, there are communities of varying sizes and various convenience stores. Now is the morning rush hour. There are students carrying school bags, office workers riding electric bikes, vendors who have just opened their doors to clean the shops... Not far away, a corner of the morning sun rises quietly from the top of a residential building.
With a crisp "ding" sound, the paused time began to flow again.
The bustling atmosphere of life hits me. A bus has just arrived at the station. A female voice is announcing: [Hello, passengers. Welcome to bus No. 23. This bus is bound for the port terminal. Please swipe your card at the front door to get on the bus. Passengers without cards please pay with coins. Next stop: Bohaiya Community]

After a brief dizziness, Bai Jinshu opened his eyes and, not surprisingly, felt darkness all around him.
Du Zhongsheng's identity is indeed invisible.
However, although he couldn't see, after living in the dark for so many years, his other senses had already evolved into more acute perceptions. Just by sitting here, Bai Jinshu could tell that he was actually in a bustling downtown area.
There seems to be a residential community on the left. You can hear the slight sound of the gate at the entrance of the community being raised and lowered. Vehicles are constantly coming out of the community, and different sounds are made when they run over the speed bumps at the entrance of the community.
The sound in the center is from a sedan, the sound that is pressed deeper and heavier is from an off-road vehicle, the sound in the middle is from an ordinary sedan, the sound that is lighter is a mini or two-seater car, the sound on the left is from a bicycle and an electric bike, the electric bike is heavier, the sound of a bicycle is very light, but when it falls there will be the sound of the chain shaking.
On the right is a convenience store. People are constantly coming in and out. You can hear the crisp sound of the plastic door curtain hitting the door frame, as well as the completely different sound of footsteps as people move from the concrete floor outside the store to the white tiles inside the store.
Bai Jinshu let out a light breath. It looked like this place was indeed as shown in the expansion pack, an exceptionally simple and ordinary modern urban space.
The reason why he remained blind after entering the unknown space is a bit complicated, and it has to start with the fixed attributes of Du Zhongsheng.
Du Zhongsheng's situation is special. Even if Guan Hongyan doesn't mention wanting to meet his teammates, Bai Jinshu will first enter the special space to confirm whether his eye condition allows him to enter the unknown space.
This confirmation indeed led him to an unexpected discovery.
Although Du Zhongsheng is a real unlucky guy in terms of his life experience, and a kidnapping changed the course of his life, as well as the lives of his biological parents and even more people, but objectively speaking, he is not a good person, and the Old Redemption Society where he is located is not a good place either.
The old leader who founded the Redemption Society was born in a remote mountain village. There were seven other sons in his family. Since childhood, they had to show that they were "useful" in order to compete for more resources, even if the resource was just an extra piece of meat at dinner, or the porridge in the bowl was no longer so thin.
After founding the Society of Redemption, the old leader who grew up in such an environment naturally could not give any advanced education to his "children". Du Zhongsheng was nominally his second son, but in fact, besides him, there were more than one hundred reserve "Sons of the Holy Spirit" who were sent to the Society of Redemption through various channels.
I am unlucky, but a little luckier than others.
His background and education did give him a maturity far beyond that of other people. After being suddenly sent thousands of miles away, Du Zhongsheng still showed a maturity far beyond that of his peers... or far beyond that of children.
He quickly accepted the reality of his blindness and quickly discovered the rules of this new environment - the law of the jungle and survival of the fittest.
It is difficult to summarize in one sentence what he did, but as a blind man, he was the only one to survive in this "Son of God" battle royale. It is easy to imagine Du Zhongsheng's methods, which are absolutely contrary to his name.
The reason why Du Zhongsheng is Du Zhongsheng is not because his real name is Du Zhongsheng, but because the one who survived can be called "Du Zhongsheng".
As for why the only person who survived was the "second son" instead of the "eldest son", it was of course because the "eldest son" had already been sliced into pieces and eaten by everyone under the parables of the leader and "God".
If you calculate the time, maybe you are old enough to go to primary school now.
In addition, due to the doctrine and the requirement for believers to have physical defects, new believers come here every day to make defects on their bodies. The first one to do so was the leader, and later it naturally became the "Son of God".
The feeling of chopping people is not much different from chopping bones. Du Zhongsheng can't see, but he can adapt to this kind of bloody work better than others. When the warm blood mixed with broken bone fragments hit him, he couldn't even imagine what kind of tragic scene would be in front of him.
The touch of human skin, the feel of flesh breaking and bones snapping, the sound of flexible blood vessels being cut, the crisp sound of fascia being shortened...all these elements that can form a bloody picture in any normal person's mind are merely auxiliary perceptions for him.
Sometimes he felt that being blind was not bad, but more often, he was the Son of God who, as the leader said, "was born blind, and God took away his eyes to use them to observe whether His believers were pious."
In such a bloody, bizarre and high-pressure environment, some words are said and heard every day. Even if you know they are false, you will deceive yourself in order to continue to hold on.
Therefore, Du Zhongsheng is the biggest victim, the biggest perpetrator, and the most devout believer of this sect.
Many posts and videos analyzing him mentioned that growing up in such an environment, his mentality change is actually very similar to the formation of Stockholm. The cult as the perpetrator became the only thing that Du Zhongsheng could rely on after he became blind. Just like many kidnapping victims will fall in love with the kidnappers, he also hopelessly believed in this fictional "God" under years of high pressure.
However, whether this kind of belief is a true belief in the existence of God, or a belief that one can regain sight if one continues like this, this is something only one knows.
Bai Jinshu's original plan was to use this identity to enter the unknown space. If his fixed attribute was restoration of sight, then that would be perfect. He wouldn't have to make any other preparations. Du Zhongsheng's identity was just an ordinary person with nothing special about him.
If he couldn't get fixed attributes like regaining sight from opening a blind box, then he would have to look for some miracles from the foundation. At least he couldn't really be a blind man in an unknown space, right?
Du Zhongsheng could be a blind man in the old Atonement Society because his range of activities was only as large as the cult's territory. As the "Son of God", he had stayed around the altar day after day for more than ten years and had never left the sect. But he, Bai Jinshu, could not stay in one place after entering the unknown space.
Putting aside whether this is suspected of slacking off, even if his teammates agree, Bai Jinshu himself will not really do this. After all, even if he is a professional actor, acting is also something that requires interaction with people and things. Who can act like this when a person sits in a room all day long, can't see anything, and has to act in the dark?
Bai Jinshu was prepared to find a way to restore his sight no matter what the fixed attribute was. However, after entering the special space, Du Zhongsheng's fixed attribute gave him a big surprise -
[The Son]
[As the Holy Son of the Atonement Society, I possess everything recorded in the doctrine.]
The doctrine records that he is the Son of God, and also records that [God took away his eyes and used them to observe whether the believers are pious].
Bai Jinshu pondered for a few seconds in a dark special space, and decisively pulled a certain evil god in from the real space, and by the way, gave him a [Custom Mask] from the mall.
When I entered the special space again, I saw a bright light before my eyes.
[God] took away the Son of God's eyes. Although it is not known whether Du Zhongsheng's God actually exists or whether he will perform a miracle to restore his sight, it is obvious that another evil god can also be God. Now the fixed attributes determine Huai Jiamu as his [God].
In other words, he and Huai Jiamu will share vision when using this identity.
"Du Zhongsheng, is that you?" A familiar voice suddenly came from my ear, "Why are you standing here alone? Where is the person who was with you that day?"
It’s Guan Hongyan.
She seemed to be the second one to log into the world. She saw Bai Jinshu standing in the unknown space. After identifying him, she immediately came over.
"He is not a member of the exploration team." Bai Jinshu listened carefully and did not hear any sound of a third person around him. Guan Hongyan was most likely the second person to log into this space.
"Ah, then do you need someone from us to support you from behind... Hey, Yun Guang, here!" Guan Hongyan was halfway through her words when she suddenly raised her voice and shouted to the front.
Soon, the footsteps of a third person were heard, and Yun Guang's voice was heard at the same time: "Hongyan, Zhongsheng, are there only two of you?"
"That's what I'm talking about," Guan Hongyan continued, "Du Zhongsheng said that the...god that day? He's not a member of the Foundation's exploration team, so he can't come in. So we have to find someone to help him."
"I didn't say that He cannot enter this unknown space..." Bai Jinshu's voice sounded at the same time as Yun Guang's.
Yun Guang: "You Gan told me this."
"Ah? Chao Yougan told you?" Guan Hongyan exclaimed, "Why did he tell you and not me? Then what's going on now?"
"I also mentioned to you that Zhongsheng's situation is rather special, but at that time you were busy taking a plane to watch the fight between alien gods and aliens in the native space, and you didn't listen at all." Yun Guang's voice was gentle, and just by listening to his voice, Bai Jinshu could imagine his gentle expression.
"Uh..." Guan Hongyan was stuck for a moment, "Then say it again, say it again!"
Yun Guang sighed as if he had expected it, and repeated, "Yougan said that he had something urgent to do that day and couldn't come here. He wanted to find another time, but Zhongsheng said he could handle it, so we met...well, the person who brought Zhongsheng here. Yougan said that he could also accompany Zhongsheng into the unknown space, but it would not take up the Foundation's lock quota, so we only need to lock four positions this time."
He was obviously also thinking of Du Zhongsheng's statement that the person next to him was the god he believed in. When he mentioned "he", he paused subtly without using any personal pronouns.
It's not that other non-team members cannot be brought into the Foundation's unknown space, it just requires some special means. They have seen similar behavior in Delmis, and now they don't find it strange to hear it again. They just feel that they are indeed team members who can enter the special space. Even if they have fallen to the point of blindness, they still have some means and trump cards in their hands.
After all, apart from Du Zhongsheng, no other saint's son could just call on his own god to help him walk.
"Oh oh oh..." Guan Hongyan responded several times, "I understand."
As expected, she did not raise any questions about Yun Guang's statement.
However, along with Guan Hongyan's voice, Bai Jinshu heard more rapid sounds of fabric rubbing. According to his understanding of Guan Hongyan, she was probably gesticulating, trying to use body language to get answers to the two questions from Yun Guang: "What exactly can this god of Du Zhongsheng do? Why does he need us to come in when there are gods taking care of him?"
This... I'm afraid Yun Guang doesn't know either.
Firstly, Huai Jiamu was a stranger to him. The last time they met, Bai Jin told him that he had used the miracles of the Foundation and had covered it up to a certain extent. This was originally intended to distinguish the two identities of "God of Du Zhongsheng" and "Huai Jiamu".
Secondly, Huai Jiamu really cannot enter through the team member channel this time.
No one knows what's going on with his fixed attributes. After entering a space, he will not become an outsider who needs to log in in advance like them, but will become one of the natives. Only after looking into Bai Jinshu's eyes will he recover his memory as "Huai Jiamu" and rejoin the team.
Putting aside the fact that if Huai Jiamu blends in with the indigenous people, he can only rely on Bai Jinshu to find him, but he cannot find Bai Jinshu, let's just talk about the fixed attributes of Du Zhongsheng's identity this time. If Huai Jiamu can share vision with Bai Jinshu after entering here, then Bai Jinshu will spend a considerable amount of time "seeing" a scene that is completely different from the one he is in.
Du Zhongsheng was using the vision of God, and he couldn't control whether he could see or not. The biggest problem was that he was using Huai Jiamu's vision, so how could he look at himself who was actually blind?
Thinking about it this way, it would be better to summon Huai Jiamu after entering the unknown space. This way, the two of them can stay together from beginning to end.
Of course, this is the real reason why Huai Jiamu did not enter with everyone. He naturally could not say this to Guan Hongyan and the others.
"He and I are of one mind," Lu Changfeng walked towards the direction where the three people gathered, and heard Du Zhongsheng's voice, "Wherever the Son of God goes, God will come."
——————————————————————————————
The E-level space was teleported in batches. After waiting for a while, the remaining four people also entered the space.
Bai Jinshu cannot see them for the time being, so he can only remember them through some features and voices. The girl with a hoarse voice and a little smoky voice is Wu Meng, the one with a duck voice and seems to have impaired puberty is Yu Changlin, the one with a slight Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei accent is Fang Xiang, the one with a small voice and sounds a little timid and fearful is Tong Lu.
Since it was the lowest level E-class space, it was very unfortunate that, apart from the so-called four people, the remaining four randomly matched teammates happened to be newcomers to the Foundation.
Yun Guang diligently explained to everyone the space classification within the foundation, various precautions in the live broadcast room, the use of temporary group chats, how to fill in the rules in unknown spaces, the use of the system panel, the use of the mall, and the friend system between team members. It took quite a while.
Guan Hongyan had been rubbing her hands in anticipation, ready to beat up any troublemakers, but unfortunately, it was not known whether she acted too aggressively or the four newcomers were normal people who listened to advice, and after Yun Guang finished explaining all the precautions to the newcomers, no one showed up to provoke him.
Guan Hongyan had to put down her fist with regret.
The four newcomers were all normal people. After listening carefully to what Yun Guang said, they thanked him politely and then added each other as friends.
The four of them have very different personalities. Wu Meng is a social phobic. After adding the other three newcomers as friends, he looked at the other four people.
"Sister Yan," she pointed to her own panel, "Can we add someone as a friend?"
"Ah? No?" Guan Hongyan fanned the air with a lack of interest. "If nothing unexpected happens, we may never see it again."
There are very few people in the Foundation who can enter the special space. If she adds every newcomer, the friend list will be full.
Besides, the Foundation's friend program doesn't have that many fancy functions. After adding friends, you can only chat through the chat box. In addition to real friends, everyone calls each other when there are tasks, or invites familiar investors and projects. At this point, all the friends are exploration team members of equal strength.
Adding an E-level team member has no meaning to her other than taking up a friend slot.
"What about Brother Yun Guang?" Wu Meng hit a wall with Guan Hongyan, but he was not discouraged at all. Instead, he looked directly at Yun Guang.
"Well... I look forward to your promotion to the high-end space," Yun Guang nodded politely and smiled, "My friends are all members of the high-end space team."
Bai Jinshu remembered that when they first met, Yun Guang mentioned that he had never seen She Mochu's face among the high-end space team members. Now his guess has finally been confirmed. Yun Guang really knows all the high-end space team members.
"I'm sorry, I won't add anyone either," Lu Changfeng replied a little embarrassedly, "My fixed attributes are quite special, so I won't add outsiders."
If everyone had his friend status, then the private messages he received every day asking him to explore unknown space would be enough to jam the foundation's backend page.
After being rejected by three people in a row, Wu Meng was neither discouraged nor embarrassed. He spread his hands and said generously: "Then wait until I reach the high-end space, and then I will add you as my friend."
"By the way, we haven't asked this person's name yet," she looked at the figure who had been sitting at the back, "Can I get to know him?"
She actually noticed the figure as soon as she came in.
Before she entered, the four teammates in front had already logged in. Three of them seemed to be acquaintances and were standing together chatting. Behind them sat a thin-looking boy.
For some reason, as soon as she came in, all her attention was attracted by this figure. In the noisy crossroads, he seemed to have a strange aura that made people feel that the surroundings were quiet and solemn in an instant.
Just now when Yun Guang and the others were introducing the foundation, this figure hadn't said a word, but just sat quietly on a bench by the roadside. When she looked over curiously, she could only see that he had his eyes downcast, and he didn't seem to care what the people next to him were saying, as if he was in his own silent little world.
Not only was she curious, the other three people were also curious. When they heard Wu Meng speak, they all looked over with curiosity.
And it really lived up to their expectations.
The figure moved slightly and raised his head in their direction, but did not lift his drooping eyelids. He only spoke in a very ethereal voice: "Du Zhongsheng."
The time around seemed to stop for a moment.
This sound seems to be more suitable to appear in a church, or in a temple, in front of the altar, with a lingering scent of sandalwood as soon as it opens, but it just shouldn't be on the streets where the atmosphere of life is so strong.
"Do you want my friend status too?" he asked.
The four of them looked at each other in astonishment.
"Yes...can I have it?" Even the village chief Wu Meng couldn't help but lower his voice, and his attitude suddenly became humble.
She wanted to be friends with the other three people just to ask if they could be added as friends, so she was not surprised to be rejected. But as for Du Zhongsheng... she felt she was not worthy of Du Zhongsheng!
As soon as this voice came out! As soon as this temperament came out!
Not to mention adding him as a friend, she felt that she should kowtow to him right away to show her respect!
Before she could really put it into practice, Tong Yao patted her shoulder gently: "Meng Meng... do you really want to join?"
"I... I'm not sure..." Wu Mengchao replied in a low voice, "I feel it's even less likely that this person will add us..."
If the first three high-end team members only looked powerful, then Du Zhongsheng was simply superior, making her feel guilty that adding him as a friend was blasphemy against the Son of God.
Who dares to add this?
Before she could finish thinking about this, the Son of God spoke: "Okay."
Before Wu Meng's pupils could tremble, Bai Jinshu continued, "But I don't add pagans and non-believers to my friend list. If you want to add me as a friend, you need to convert to us."
"Ah... then... what is your sect?" Wu Meng stammered, not even sure what to call it, and could only stumble over it, "What are the conditions for joining and converting to the sect?"
"Your words..." Bai Jinshu paused, as if he was judging and thinking, "Chop off one hand."
Wu Meng: “Ah?”
"Wow," Bai Jinshu heard from behind the crowd that Fang Xiang turned around and said to Yu Changlin, "Brother Jie is a member of the Axe Gang!"
The author has something to say:
No, Xiaodu, if you chop off your teammate's hand in this game, the rice noodle roll can be restored
Because the pre-content of this chapter is a bit long, I am late for one day.
