Chapter 716: Man-made Gods
The entire underground city-state seems to be extremely comfortable and peaceful, and it seems that everyone does not have to worry about living materials.
Backed by the largest resource bank on earth, there is no shortage of food, water, cloth, furs, modern items, etc.
The so-called work area, there are many people in it who seem to be in charge of production, and there is also an industrial facility in charge of smelting in the depths.
The bishop who is in charge of Gaia's Ark will take a huge amount of ore and give it to a group of people to cool, smelt, and process.
Periodically, the ark was driven to the surface, piercing a passage to the surface to deliver supplies to the outer ecclesiastical forces on the ground.
These materials will be exchanged for the daily necessities needed by the underground city-state that cannot be produced.
By the way, ventilate this huge grotto, after all, if it is closed for a long time, it must not be suffocated?
"That's how it should be, the so-called Gaia's Ark, or the dungeon created by Gaia's Ark, is like an underground aircraft carrier. Periodically moving, floating. β
"In the past, if we wanted to catch them, we had to catch the forces that were on the surface, and then kill them while they were rising. β
"But they must also be extremely cautious, every time they float up for a breath, they must repeatedly confirm the safety of the ground base, and repeatedly use false joints to probe. β
"It can be said that there is no ...... There's no way we're going to find it. β
Wuyunmo said, patting Mo Qian.
Wade was completely sealed away from the memory of the church and sent to live a normal life in various countries, as if he had been abandoned.
This kind of person is different from those who are purposefully sent to land.
There is a slight possibility that it will inadvertently participate in certain events and become a periphery, and then because of its good nature and natural talent, it will spontaneously strive to become a member.
That's right, spontaneously, after the Gaia Church sealed their memories, it didn't care, never contacted them, and never asked them to do anything.
Everything is natural, with a probability of one in ten thousand, betting on a few 'shadows', being chosen by fate and entering the Blue and White Society.
Among them, Wade is probably the luckiest one, he not only became a member, but also fought for it for 20 years, and he has survived to this day, and he is already a delta.
This kind of shadow, in order to ensure that it is not detected by the Blue and White Society, I am afraid that even the church itself does not know who else is alive, and who has really become a member.
It's just a step of idle chess, buried deep in the Blue and White Society.
If necessary, once the Gaia Church decides to attack in an all-out way, use a containment object to stimulate the shadows in one breath.
But now that it has been detected by Kelon in advance, and then the use of ink poor positioning, it can be said that it has created an excellent initiative for the Blue and White Society.
Mo Qian shrugged and said, "But we won't let us enter many places, do you want to sneak in to check it?"
"Don't worry, now the enemy is in the open and I am in the dark, this operation must be completed in one battle, and the entire Gaia Church will be eliminated in one fell swoop. We don't know what kind of surveillance capabilities they have, so let's find out their security situation first. Wu Yunmo said.
Everyone nodded, the law and order situation is an important reference to show the ability of a city-state to rule.
In such a seemingly utopian place, will there be crime?
If so, how to arrest and deal with it?
Mo Qian said: "The big man mentioned a detail before, that is, most of the people who work in the industrial area are bad people. β
"What do you think they mean by bad guys?"
Gou Ye said: "Criminals? No, there should be more than that, there are also ungodly people, right? That big man was created, so he won't be a bad person." β
The meaning is very clear, because the people who were created were brainwashed, so they were extremely religious and willing to die for the church. β
The so-called bad people are those who are ungodly and who violate the rules of the church. β
Wu Yunmo said: "There is another detail, the big man observed our shoes before talking to us. β
"Yes, our shoes are designed strictly according to the way people in the town wear, sandals with pure leather bottoms, there should be no problem. The big man himself was dressed the same. β
"It may be a sign of identity, and we're wearing a civilian style. Catherine said.
Gou Ye tilted his head and said, "But we didn't find a non-civilian style." β
Mo Qian's eyes lit up and said: "No, there is one kind, that is, no shoes!"
Everyone nodded secretly, there are indeed a few people in the city-state who don't wear shoes, and the coolies in the work area just now are also not wearing shoes.
"It's good that we have shoes, otherwise we would have been treated like slaves or something. Mo Qian said.
They found that most of the people in the residential area had nothing to do, either playing in the mountains and rivers or chatting in the park.
Occasionally, a group of people can be seen praying collectively under a certain idol.
Strange as it sounds, the idol wasn't Gaia!
"Are you sure this golden sculpture isn't Gaia?" asked Inkpoor.
"Definitely not, Gaia's body is pressed in the undersea prison, how can I not know what she looks like?"
"Maybe it's Gaia's ancient appearance, or maybe it's an artistic image in the nature of a god?" said Mo Qian.
Wu Yunmo shook his head and said, "It's impossible, first of all, Gaia likes female figures, and this sculpture is depicting a man laughing." Secondly, no matter how artistic it is, do you think Gaia will hold a big light bulb?"
"Gaia is the goddess of the earth, not the god of light, and this big light bulb actually has threads!"
Mo Qian took a closer look, it was true, there was a thread in the place where the bulb was held, and this turned out to be an electric light bulb!
Since this is by no means a statue of the god Gaia, then who is this worship?
The believers of the church in Gaia openly gathered in the Holy Land to believe in other gods?
It's not easy for them to go up and ask, and this question will inevitably be a goof.
So they pretended to play and approached, and then they also learned to prostrate and pray, wanting to hear what these people had to say.
I have to say that four children are playing here, and no one really cares.
When these city-state citizens saw this, they only smiled slightly, and they didn't even worry that the children were not supervised by adults.
Come to think of it, this underground city-state is a closed society, so you don't have to worry about traffickers or something.
If you break the law in public, you won't have a place to run, and you won't have a place to hide, so you can only honestly correct the law.
Where can you run? This is the mantle layer, can it still go to the sky?
Therefore, on the surface, the social atmosphere is extremely open and harmonious, the law and order are extremely good, and everyone is smiling and enjoying a quiet, leisurely and slow-paced life.
Soon, based on the few words they overheard, it could be inferred that the city-state was a pure theocracy, and that any disputes were resolved by the priests.
The priest is naturally the priest of the church of Gaia, and the strange god he worships at this moment is the so-called god of Gaia...... The god of electric light.
"The God of Light...... I heard me right, how could there be such a god?" said Mo Qian secretly.
Gou Ye was also stunned, the ancient gods and demons were all nature gods. Whether it is from the ancient last words of Spirit Island, or from the battle with Gaia, I have never heard of the god of electric lights.
Can a light bulb become a god?
Wu Yunmo and Catherine said very seriously: "There is no such god, this must be the god created by the Gaia church itself." β
"Imaginary gods...... But why make up a god of electric lights, and let the believers worship it seriously?" said Gou Ye.
Wu Yunmo was silent, and he couldn't figure it out.
Mo Qian said: "It must be useful, you must know that they say that this is Gaia's God, and when it comes to Gaia, it belongs to the doctrine, and the people in the church are still very serious." Therefore, when it comes to the sacredness of the doctrine, praying to the god of electric lamps must have some kind of wonderful use, and it will not be chaotic...... I suspect that the so-called god of lights is a containment object. β
Did they come across the containment so quickly?
Then he silently retreated, ready to ask a local child.
After running for a while, suddenly a wind blew from the side, directly lifting Gou Ye's clothes.
"This dress is too open, walk quickly, or the wind will blow and reveal the body inside...... How I feel like I'm walking out everywhere. Gou Ye muttered mentally.
"It's normal to dress like this because it's closed and stuffy underground, and people here aren't ashamed to be naked, and I've seen a lot of kids running bare-bottomed, and adults bare-chested. Wu Yunmo said.
Catherine said, "The underground is closed, where does the wind come from?"
This is a problem, Gou Ye instigated his fingers, wetted the surface of his skin, and quickly sensed the faint wind direction.
The crowd chased and fought towards the source of the air.
However, after running for a while, the direction of the wind changed, and after several changes in a row, everyone found that the slightest cool air was blowing from the residents' houses.
"What? Is it that every house has an air conditioner?" Mo Qian guessed.
Catherine retorted: "No air conditioning units were found. β
They leaned into the window of a house, leaned on the window and looked in, and a cool breeze blew in their faces.
In the direction of the tuyere, there is no machine, but a shrine.
The idol enshrined is also extremely unfamiliar, and what is even more strange than the god of electric lights is that the crotch of the idol is an air conditioner.
"Hey, hey, that's the air conditioner, right?"
"It was indeed air conditioning...... Could it be that this is the god of air conditioning?"
Just as everyone was amazed, a child in the house who was smoking snot came running over and shouted, "What are you doing by lying on my window?"
"Wow, you're so beautiful. β
As he spoke, the child pointed at Gou Ye and sniffed.
Gou Ye looked indifferent and wanted to smoke a cigarette.
Among the three of them, I don't know why, Gou Ye is indeed the most beautiful.
"What's your name? My name is Andy, and your beauty is like a starry sky, and it must have been carved by the gods themselves!" said the little boy Andy in front of Gou Ye.
Gou Ye said indifferently: "Where is the starry sky?"
Andy looked at the dome and said, "My mother said that the starry sky is the most beautiful creation of the gods, and if one day we can see the starry sky, we will be able to see the gods." β
Gou Ye took the opportunity to ask about the god of electric lights.
Andy exclaimed, "Stupid, heir of the great Gaia...... How could the god of electric lights not know? You are so unreligious. β
"Hahaha, lie to you! I'm just testing you!" Gou Ye said with a smile.
Seeing Gou Ye's embarrassed smile, Andy sniffed and said, "You still look good with a straight face." β
"......" Gou Ye suddenly restrained his smile.
Sure enough, everyone knows about the electric light god, and it is thanks to asking the child, the other party is innocent and romantic, and it is easy to be fooled.
After clichΓ©s, coupled with mental hints, everyone quickly learned some basic common sense.
The so-called gods of electric lights and air conditioners were told by the priest that they were the gods of the Mother God of Gaia, and they wanted them to believe together.
Speaking of the faith of the people, they will get light and suitable air from it.
In other words, if you pray to the idol of the god of air conditioning, the idol will run like an air conditioner...... If you pray to the idol of the god of electric lights, it will shine like an electric lamp.
It's as if those gods are machines, and their beliefs are energy.
The ten huge balls of light on the dome are the energy drawn from the various electric lamp statues in the square, and the light source created.
And every household has an air-conditioned statue of the god, so that the temperature can be kept in the closed grotto, so that the temperature is always suitable.
Mo Qian and the others glanced at each other, there was no doubt that this was a containment object.
They don't believe that there is such an operation in believing in the god of Gaia, which is clearly packaging a layer of mythology and teachings with the containment and forcing Gaia to pull the relationship.
In fact, these two so-called gods have nothing to do with Gaia Mau.
"It's supposed to be a token, the god of light and air conditioning, created by a containment object. β
"The Gaia Church, there is a shelter that can 'make gods'......"
