"Religion?"

Hear Smith. Zhou suddenly mentioned this word, and Steve immediately frowned deeply.

"You're saying that the attitude of the human beings here has something to do with religion?"

"Steve, you have to understand. The formation of any kind of lifestyle and attitude cannot compare with the long-term and long-lasting subtle effect. And in this long period of influence, there will never be a religion that is more useful. The wisdom of the gods is above that of mortals. As an instrument of their domination over mortals, religion is absolutely more powerful than you can imagine. ”

Steve didn't believe it thoroughly, he had his own judgment. And with his own feelings as experience, he immediately retorted to Steve.

"I've been exposed to religion, but I don't feel that religion is as scary as you say."

"Do you mean Christianity?" Got the meaning of Steve's words, Smith. A playful smile immediately appeared on Zhou's face. "Trust me, man. If you lived through the dark Middle Ages ruled by Christianity, you would never think so. It was not a time when the aristocracy and missionaries were in power, as the textbooks say. In that era, the things of the ignorant people could break your bottom line. ”

Steve wasn't so skeptical about that. Because he knows very well that the person in front of him is from that era. The history he knew was important to Smith. Zhou said it was just a memory. And comparing the real memories with the history written by others, it is already a self-evident question which one you will believe more.

However, Steve was not so easily convinced. He looked at the expressions that passed in front of him, and he could say that it was a strange Indian. After carefully speculating about their situation, he asked.

"I still can't imagine it. Can just a religion turn them into this weird and numb appearance? ”

"You see, there are some religions that are very terrible in their ability to educate. And in this land, there is still a system that complements the power of religion. The caste system, an ancient and distinct system. This system is in harmony with the religion here. It can make the poor human beings, who occupy more than 90 percent of the country, who are equivalent to slaves, accustomed to their own lives, and even feel satisfied. As I said, there are not a few examples like that kid, he is just a microcosm of countless Indians. If you look closely, you'll see more. ”

Putting his arm on Steve's shoulder, Smith. Zhou tapped his fingers on the book in front of him. Under his touch, all the words in the book seem to come to life, one by one pieced together into vivid figures, and deduce vivid stories.

It's the kind of story that is full of irony. It is also to Steve who profoundly reveals everything behind this kingdom.

He saw that the life of high-caste Indians was no different from that of the rich people of the developed countries that he remembered. Luxury cars, villas, neat and gorgeous living environments and all kinds of extravagant banquets fill every minute of their lives. And beneath the city where they live, there are 100 times as many poor human beings as they are, enjoying their little life in a happy and happy way.

Countless people live in small shacks on the beach by the sea. Grow some fresh vegetables on the beach and pick up trash everywhere in exchange for scarce coins to make ends meet.

He saw that the rich man asked the goldsmith to make the gold into exquisite bracelets and necklaces, and wear them on his wives and daughters. I also saw a group of poor people who cleaned the dust under the jewelers, and even went into the sewers to extract sludge to extract gold, and spent days and nights of sleepless refining such an insignificant little bit of gold.

He saw the wealthy of the upper castes trampling on the lives and dignity of those they saw as untouchable. The bullying of women is manipulated by the law and the government, but it is the rich who become victims. Even once put on a veneer of legitimacy for this disgusting behavior.

He also saw that the two young people who really loved each other were beheaded by the angry crowd wielding their blades just because of the gap and mismatch between their identities.

More than 90 percent of the people in this country live in terrible conditions that he basically can't imagine and can't believe. And on this same piece of land, some people live a drunken and comfortable mess. Such serious polarization, if viewed from the perspective of a modern person, if there is no such thing as the liberal revolution in France, at least there will be some uncontrollable turmoil like the Middle East.

But there is nothing here. The superior enjoyed the life of the superior man. No matter how hard the inferior people live, it seems that they can find their own happiness. It's as if they don't live in a world. And if the reason for this is that the temples that are resplendent and have never been cut off from incense give Steve a good explanation.

At this time, Steve didn't even believe Smith. All of what Zhou said was no longer working.

Although it is a change of identity and a change of mentality. But Steve's most fundamental wish has not changed. He always wanted to benefit mankind. In the past, it was about protecting humanity, but now it's pinning its hopes on Smith. Zhou, I hope he can realize the better future that he promised for mankind in this world.

Smith. Zhou has always declared that he will give mankind the brightest future. He will be the master of the future of humanity, ushering in a new era that belongs only to humanity. Steve believed what he said, and it immediately made him realize that he wasn't just making excuses for himself when he said all this. So immediately, he asked rhetorically.

"That's what you're for. You've set your next goal here? ”

Steve's perception is kind of a good thing to make Smith. Zhou was satisfied, and after he said such a thing, Smith. Zhou immediately laughed and pointed to the group of humans who were already completely insensitized in their eyes. Then he said word by word to Steve.

"Look at them like this. You think they're alive, but can you really say they're alive? Or there is no pursuit, or like a wild dog on the side of the road, only thinking about chasing that little bit of leftovers. Can such a life be called a human being? It's just the walking dead. ”

"And in that case. As the future ruler of humanity, shouldn't I find a way to change all this? I guess you're disgusted with everything here! Don't you think they're too much of an eyesore, whether it's for the insatiable greedy or the old-fashioned who don't want to make any changes? Don't you even have any other ideas about these insensitive walking dead in front of you? ”

Smith. Zhou said, the meaning expressed in the words could not be more obvious. And Steve no longer has any opinion on this.

He understands Smith. Zhou's attitude also agreed with his attitude. For this country, he already has the urge and the idea to change him. It's just that he has to work with Smith. Let's discuss it again. Because for now, their strength has already suffered a lot of losses.

"I see what you mean. I agree with you as well. But there is one thing I need to make clear to you, and that is that we are probably not strong enough to change this country. You must know that if you want to eradicate the deep-rooted and stubborn diseases of this country with a population of more than one billion, you cannot do it without a strong enough force. In this regard, we still need a certain amount of time to accumulate and precipitate. Because last time, our losses were a little too great. ”

"I've heard of your failures in the plan, but I don't have a good understanding of the specifics. What's going on? ”

"Everything went according to plan. I just didn't expect that an unplanned existence was inserted in the middle of the way. ”

Steve doesn't have any shy about his failures. He told Smith everything in a straightforward way. Week.

"The intelligent life known as Ultron is out of Stark's grasp and, on his own will, involved in our plans. It cut off our plans. Neither of these goals was successful, except for bringing back relevant study treatments. The doctors in charge are probably dead. And the Kree-shaped battleship also fell completely into the hands of Ultron. It can be said that he became the biggest winner of this operation. In contrast, both we and Stark are the losers at the table! ”

"No, you should say Stark is a bigger loser than us. After all, we still have a little bit to gain. And he invested huge resources in vain and got nothing. I think he was probably going to be angry when he found out the news, and you have definitely been scolded by him more than once or twice. ”

"Swearing doesn't solve anything. Wouldn't it be more useful to raise a team of vicious women than a team of superheroes, if ever useful? ”

Steve replied very calmly, and he was very interested in Smith. The possible swearing that Zhou spoke of was completely devoid of any mood swings. And that's also in Smith. Weeks were expected. His henchmen should be this kind of calm existence with no joy and anger. Of course, it is not this small problem that he is more interested in now.

"Ultron? I thought maybe he would be a useful pawn. Stark is too comfortable now, it's time to put some obstacles in his way! ”
