Chapter 520: Persuasion, or Fooling
Good food, good wine, beautiful women, plus a beautiful and comfortable environment.
Wayne, who had never experienced such a battle, was lost all of a sudden.
"Here...... Is it heaven?"
[Mr. Wayne, it seems that you do like my hospitality, but it is a little inappropriate to say that this world is heaven, my god is not the false god of the Holy Light Church who likes to put golden light. The white-robed figure suddenly said in a somewhat cold tone.
"Uh, I'm sorry! I lost my words!" Hearing the change in the other party's tone, Wayne instantly woke up from his distraction and hurriedly apologized.
It is very rude or even fatal to tear the other party's faith to another unrelated god in front of a person who is suspected of being a believer in a god, depending on the believer's faith and personality, and may even directly provoke the other party, Wayne feels that it is not impossible for him to be attacked by the other party's anger!
Fortunately, the white-robed figure didn't seem to be the kind of person with a very extreme personality, and after hearing Wayne's anxious apology, he generously forgave him.
After lightly uncovering this little episode, the white robe snapped his fingers again, and then a light and soothing forest song echoed in this world out of thin air, the volume was not harsh, just like the sound of branches and leaves colliding when the wind blew through the woods, just right to blend into this environment.
Wayne doesn't have much talent for music, but listening to this little song, he unconsciously has a sense of relaxation, and he thinks it is also a very good listening enjoyment.
He looked at the smiling beauties around him, picked up the crystal cup and took a sip of wine, tasting the mellow taste in his mouth, and there was still a hint of shock in his eyes.
"These ...... Is it really just an illusion?"
[Hehe...... The great being we believe in is in charge of the principle of 'dreams'! This is a small projection of the kingdom of our gods, a world in the midst of dreams! Compared to reality, it can also be said to be an existence like an 'illusory dream'. The white-robed figure explained to Wayne with a faint smile.
"In other words, it's really all hallucinations, and it's all false?" After hearing this, Wayne asked curiously, if it weren't for his preconceived cognition and the other party's explanation, I'm afraid he wouldn't believe that all this was not reality.
After all, everything that Wayne feels from here now is too realistic, and the information fed back by the senses such as smell, taste, touch, sight, and hearing does not seem to be illusory at all.
[Everything here can be said to be false, but it can also be said to be true. The white-robed figure patiently continued to answer Wayne.
"It's both false and it's true?" said Wayne, puzzled.
[Hehe, it's actually very simple to understand. The white-robed figure put down the wine glass, raised his sleeve and pointed at Wayne himself, and asked, "Mr. Wayne, do you think that the current 'you' is also false?]
"Uh, this ......" Wayne was immediately asked.
The white-robed figure didn't expect him to say the answer directly, but asked with a smile: [If you think that you are false here, then do you want to experience the feeling of 'death' in ......?]
"ββ!!" Obviously, the other party's tone was very gentle when he spoke, but Wayne instantly felt that the hairs on his body stood on end, and he only felt that there was a great sense of horror that made him a little stiff, and he almost couldn't hold the crystal wine glass in his hand steadily.
It's as if I had a premonition that I was about to die.
Stimulated by this premonition, Wayne's somewhat smoky head woke up a lot in an instant because he had drunk several glasses of wine in a row, and he didn't dare to hesitate to refuse: "No! Then there is no need!!"
He was afraid that if he refused a second too slowly, he would really be sent to 'experience death' by the white-robed figure opposite.
The pain of being beaten by Old Nick in the fantasy of that newspaper office alone has already taught Wayne enough lessons from the past.
Even though he was told that this was not reality, all the experiences were so realistic that Wayne didn't dare to try what it was like to 'die' in such a magical place. Anyway, that's sure it won't be good.
The point is, of course, he doesn't think that the self he exists here now will be fake, so it is difficult to say whether it will affect himself in reality after being hurt here.
[Oh, hehehe...... A wise choice. The white-robed figure smiled leisurely, commented with some appreciation, and then continued to speak.
[This is the world of 'dreams', that is, 'spirits', and the people who exist here are in the form of 'spirits', which is undoubtedly real, so it is okay to think of it as 'another reality'! Although it is a 'dream', everything feels no different from reality! I believe you have fully realized this, Mr. Wayne, right?]
"Yes. It's amazing!Allow me to offer my sincerest compliments to the greatness of the Lord of Dreams!" Wayne complimented him very well. He knew that these believers loved to hear this the most.
Sure enough, after listening to Wayne's praise, the white-robed figure immediately felt a little more joy in his words. He laughed, and said with obvious pride: "This 'dream' world was created by the divine power of my god, and naturally it is also governed by my god, and here, as long as you are a devout believer of your god, you can receive his kind and generous blessings, and there will be no entanglement of poverty and sickness and the troubles of the real world. Here, you can get almost everything you want!]
Wayne looked at the table full of wine and food, and then at the beauties around him who were waiting diligently, and had to admit that although the other party said it in a big tone, it did have some credibility.
Wayne quickly had a small problem in mind, though. As a journalist, it can be said that picking thorns can be said to be an occupational disease of journalists. So after considering his tone for a while, Wayne still cautiously asked, "Is that so...... But this is not reality after all, is it? As long as we return to reality, won't everything be back to the way it was?"
It was also the white-robed figure who had not acted hostilely so far, but instead helped Wayne answer his doubts one after another in a good voice, so he dared to ask.
......The white-robed figure suddenly laughed, laughing so much that Wayne felt a little scared, and secretly regretted that he shouldn't have questioned indiscriminately, so he suppressed his laughter and said: [Mr. Wayne, you are very smart, and you also asked the key point. Yes, you're actually right. γ
Wayne paused slightly, but didn't interject, because he felt that the other party must have a follow-up.
Sure enough, after a pause, seeing Wayne put on a posture of continuing to listen, the white-robed figure seemed to nod with satisfaction, then spread his hands and continued: [However, I said before, not everything here is completely false......! Does that mean anything?]
What does that mean?" Wayne pondered, following the other man's words.
Speaking of the kingdom of God, Wayne directly thought of the more famous Holy Light Church's propaganda of the "Lord" of faith, which mentioned the "Lord's" kingdom, that is, the world called "Heaven".
According to the church's description, that seems to be......
β...... Let the souls of believers be protected by the gods in the 'kingdom of God' and enjoy the blessings of eternal life while continuing to dedicate their faith to the gods?"
Wayne muttered his understanding of the kingdom of God, and the more he spoke, the more surprised his eyes became, and finally he couldn't help but look at the white-robed figure, and asked in a trembling voice, "Do you say ......?"
[That's right, just like you think!] The hood of the white-robed figure nodded, and said with a smile: [Although the world of 'dreams' here is not the true kingdom of God of our lord, it can also allow the souls of believers to survive for a long time, and at that time, even if this place is completely regarded as reality, it will be no problem!]
[And where the real kingdom of God is, you can enjoy eternal gifts!] As he spoke, the tone of the white-robed figure carried a touch of pious yearning.
Listening to the words of the white-robed figure, even if it wasn't the believer who seemed to be a god, Wayne couldn't help but have a trace of longing. After all, it's 'eternal life', what mortal wouldn't want it?
[Yes...... Of course, the eternal gift is not just available to anyone, it must be a true and very devout believer to have the opportunity! It is a holy and perfect world, in which believers can even have the blessing of 'all wishes come true', and all desires can be satisfied!]
"That's a shame......"
[However, even without the eternal blessing of the Kingdom of God, the small 'dream' world we are in now is much better than the reality of the outside world full of too many troubles and hardships!] After expressing his yearning, the white-robed figure suddenly changed his words and asked Wayne: "You said yes, Mr. Wayne?]
"Huh?" Wayne was stunned for a moment, and after scanning the surroundings, of course he nodded and agreed, "Indeed, indeed, I have never seen such a beautiful world!"
[For the believers of my god, even if they want to live in such a beautiful dream world for the rest of their lives, it's not impossible?] The white-robed figure stretched out his empty sleeves to Wayne with a smile, as if he was sending out an invitation.
[Mr. Wayne, do you want to ...... Why don't you join us?]
β......β
To be honest, hearing the other party's invitation, Wayne was actually a little tempted at this time. It's really all the enjoyment here, and it's too attractive for him to be just an ordinary civilian in reality.
After all, in reality, he is just a poor little reporter, or is he the kind of newcomer in the industry who may face the risk of being fired at any time, how can he drink such high-end wine, eat such delicious snacks and fruits, and enjoy the gentle service of such beautiful girls like in this 'dream' world?
It's pretty much the same dreaming!
Belch...... Well, if you really want to talk about it, according to the previous series of explanations of this mysterious white-robed figure, he is actually not much different from dreaming now, but this 'dream' is too magical and real.
Thinking of this, Wayne couldn't help but frown.
, should it be the experience so far, it's really just a personal dream, and then wake up and have nothing?
But it doesn't seem right...... How can anyone be so aware that they are dreaming?
Wayne, who had inexplicably deviated from his thinking, hurriedly pinched his thighs hard, the kind that showed no mercy at all.
Then his cheek twitched.
Hissββ!! it's super painful!!
Wayne even suspected that if he checked the place where he had been twisted now, he would find a large bruise on the flesh.
γ...... Mr. Wayne, although it is said to be a world of 'dreams', please don't think of this as an ordinary low-level dream. The white-robed figure said with a little crying and laughing, and at the same time raised his hand and snapped his fingers.
Then Wayne found that the pain in his thigh had subsided in an instant.
"Ahem...... I'm sorry, but tonight's experience was so amazing that I couldn't help but feel a little incredulous, ahahaha......" Wayne said with an embarrassed look as he touched the back of his head.
[It's okay, I understand it, after all, it's human nature. The white-robed figure waved his hand, and then asked, "Speaking of which, Mr. Wayne, although it is a bit presumptuous, can you tell me about the invitation just now, what is your reply?]
"Uh, this ......" Wayne's face showed a hint of hesitation, a look of hesitation, yearning, excitement, and a little trepidation in his eyes.
But in fact, in addition to these, there was a subtle hint of vigilance hidden in the depths of his eyes.
Wayne, who was born in the Empire, is still a young and energetic young man, and even if he has a general reverence for the "dragon god" that has been passed down from ancient times in the Empire, he does not have the idea of joining the church and becoming a true believer who prays every day.
Even the 'dragon god' in his country, he has this attitude, not to mention the 'dream' god that the white-robed figure that suddenly appeared now.
Even now, Wayne is a little skeptical of the so-called "dream" god.
You must know that this world has an existence called the demon species, which is generally an evil image among the majority of the people, and the demon species is the best at disguising itself and demagogic people with rhetoric. And in addition to the demon species, there are occasionally some weird guys who do something demagogic in the name of a god.
Although Wayne has never seen it, the official authorities of the empire attach great importance to the propaganda of this kind of evil god and pseudo-god.
Well, of course, the official side is promoting this in a negative direction.
In addition, Wayne has quietly determined an important thing through the 'self-harm' behavior just now - even if he self-harms and stimulates his consciousness with severe pain, he still can't take the initiative to get out of this so-called 'dream' world!
This discovery really made Wayne too insecure!
Just as Wayne was hesitating, the white-robed figure suddenly said something that made him breathe a sigh of relief.
[Okay...... Looks like Mr. Wayne can't give me an answer for the time being. Then forget it, rest assured, because I have already said that we have no ill will towards you. ] I want to talk about "The Almighty Supreme of All Worlds" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
