************
Countless visions have come one after another, turning into their own past encounters, and the people and things, feelings and feelings they have experienced, all kinds of entanglement, all kinds of helplessness.
For a while, Liu Ye looked at the past, gradually became obsessed, his mind relaxed slightly, and he couldn't help but sigh: "Why was it born?" Why live? Why the fall? โฆโฆโ
Everything is so bizarre and beautiful, and gradually Liu Ye's heart sank in, he felt tired and sleepy, a kind of mother-like warmth wrapped him, and slowly fell asleep.
A voice whispered into Liu Ye's ear in a soft and seductive accent: "Come on...... Come on...... Are you tired...... Believe in mimetic gods...... The god will make you realize all ......"
Liu Ye's spirit slackened under this charming voice, and walked towards it blankly, slowly getting closer, almost being pulled into the bottomless abyss by this voice.
"The amount of information load is too large, exceeding the burden of the main body, whether to divert and receive ......" Menglong's cold voice suddenly sounded. However, the voice at this time sounded to Liu Ye, which was tantamount to heaven, waking him up from his illusion. Lao Liu immediately understood what was going on, and shouted in his heart.
"Dream Dragon! Start receiving information in full! โ
"Information reception is starting to ......," Menglong said in a still old-fashioned voice. As Menglong began to receive information, Liu Ye slowly regained his ability to think.
"It seems that it is this kind of hypnosis-like psychological suggestion that has made Yang Tian and the others become what they are now!" Liu Ye thought.
Planting the seeds of hypnosis while the brain is blank is indeed a very effective means. If it weren't for Liu Ye and Menglong, I'm afraid he would have stepped on the path of those five people.
Liu Ye's body gradually stopped trembling, and Fang Lin saw that the fire was almost over, and withdrew the six tentacles that were tightly imprinted on Liu Ye's body. The fat and ugly head turned, staring at Liu Ye, who was lying on the ground and couldn't move.
Like the five people, Liu Ye slowly got up from the ground. Kneeling down slowly, his head lowered, his hands propped up on the ground, his vertical pupils flashed with bronze light, and he said in a muffled voice: "Participate in Lord Fang!" โ
"Good! Hahaha......" Fang Lin's smug laughter filled the room. It's just that he didn't notice that Liu Ye had a slight hesitation when he knelt down just now, and something seemed to be shaking slightly in the shadows under the cloak.
*******************
Under the leadership of Fang Lin, Liu Ye and his party of six people slowly followed him and walked forward. Fang Lin took them to a room, told them to stay here and wait for orders, and gave each of them a black cloak to put on and left. He believed that these people would absolutely obey his orders after receiving his mental hypnosis.
However, Liu Ye was obviously an outlier among them, after confirming that Fang Lin had gone away. The bronze vertical pupils in Liu Ye's eyes disappeared immediately, and he sat up from the bed and began to look around. Through the window of his room, he knew that he was back in Zhi'an City. The five people around watched Liu Ye's actions, but they didn't react, and sat on the edge of the bed like fossils.
Liu Ye glanced at them, but only shook his head and sighed secretly. He already knew roughly what was going on, and he was helpless about the current situation, so he could only take one step at a time. After all, if it weren't for the existence of the dream dragon, Lao Liu himself would also be a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and it would be difficult to protect himself.
The Theosophism is a mystical organization. It worships the only god - the simulated god, a god that Liu Ye has never heard of in his head. The doctrine is that each member has complete faith in the Mock God and must not disobey any command from the Mock God or from his own hierarchy.
The Cult of Anthropomorphism also isolates itself from others through special signs and rules of conduct, such as the black cloak that Liu Ye wears.
The world is on the verge of destruction, and only the gods can save it. Those who do not follow the instructions of the god are the enemies of the god and must be destroyed by the guards of the god. There are only two kinds of people in the Anthropomorphism: either friends or enemies, who are not our supporters and who are our opponents.
Eighty percent of the surging indoctrination into Liu Ye's brain was these things, and Liu Ye almost thought that this so-called pseudotheistic cult was a deceitful cult. However, the remaining 20% of the content made him have to suspect that this organization is not so simple.
This organization has a strict hierarchical system, which is not surprising, and among the tasks Liu Ye once participated in was the task of destroying cults, and among them he saw many cult organizations with strict hierarchies. However, the level of this anthropomorphic cult is not just an empty name like the level of ordinary cult organizations, it is actually linked to strength.
Liu Ye: Their current rank belongs to the lowest level, the soldier level. Further up are the chariot and horse level, the guard level, the knight level and the phase level, it seems that there are levels further up, but Liu Ye's level is too low to know roughly so much.
High-level cultists have absolute control over low-level cultists, for example, the chariot and horse level can control the actions of the soldier level, the guard level can control the actions of the chariot and horse level, and so on. This is the reason why Liu Ye was not moved by the city lord and Fang Lin at the beginning, but just looked at it with his eyes and restrained.
The high-level followers control their actions by sending out strings of consciousness through a mysterious crystal they call the Anthropomorphic Crystal, which is transmitted directly to the Imitation Crystal of the lower-level Cultists. As for why Mo Yang didn't use this ability at that time, I'm afraid it was because of his self-esteem, and he wanted to rely on his own strength and disdain to use the oppression between the ranks to defeat Liu Ye.
This ability appears to be non-passive, and must be actively emitted in order to be effective. So in other words, if Liu Ye attacks with lightning speed, the other party may not have time to send out a wave of thought. And although they all know about rank pressure, they don't use it very often, and they don't form a defense mechanism for their bodies. As long as you can kill with one hit, then you can still escape from here.
However, then Liu Ye shook his head again, and thought with a wry smile: "With the strength of Mo Yang and the city lord, how could he be killed by himself with one blow?" It's better to think long-term! โ
Each cultist has a fixed rank, and the only way to move up is to offer sacrifices to the mimic gods. According to the quality and quantity of the offerings, the mimic gods would send down an edict to ascend, which was why Mo Yang and Fang Lin were fighting for Liu Ye's ownership in the first place.
And the new believers are also selected by the mimicry gods among the sacrifices, but the conditions are very harsh, and there is often a soldier-level believer in thousands of sacrifices. The chariot and horse class is even rarer, often only one in tens of thousands.
If the soldier is found to be defiant, he will be hypnotized into a puppet that only knows how to obey orders. Such a pawn is the lowest level, and will never be promoted.
There is also a type of soldier who can be promoted, who are impressed by the power of the Cult of God and voluntarily submit to it. Such a disciple can be promoted, but due to the limitations of his own qualifications, the soldier level can generally be promoted to the guard level at most.
When they are promoted to the chariot and horse level, they will have the ability to rule the soldier level, and as the rank increases, it is said that a new ability will be excavated, and Mo Yang's finger that made Liu Ye unconscious may be the ability obtained by upgrading.
The chariot and horse level is very important to the Anthropomorphic Cult, and a natural chariot and horse class disciple represents a higher level that can be promoted upwards. Depending on their qualifications, the Rider class can be upgraded to a knight, a mock, or even a higher rank above the mock. To become the lord of a city, you must be at least a knight-level cultist.
That's why Mo Yang and Fang Lin are so interested in themselves, if they are a natural chariot and horse level, then their position in the Anthropomorphic God Sect will be further improved and they will obtain a higher rank.
Liu Ye only now understands that the Yin who was killed by himself with all his might is just the lowest level of disciples. And he is also the weakest of the soldier rank, but he voluntarily surrendered and has his own sanity, no wonder the other party doesn't care about Yin's death.
Another notable feature of becoming a cultist is that they can transform through the anthropomorphic crystals in their bodies, which the Cult calls this transformation anthropomorphism. The message Liu Ye received did not explain how the anthropomorphism came about, only that it was the miracle of the mimetic gods, and it was a reward for each believer.
There is a time limit for anthropomorphism, and a soldier-level disciple like Liu Ye only has fifteen minutes of anthropomorphic time at the top level, and there will be an interval of two hours before the next anthropomorphic time. The lowest class lasts 25 minutes, but the intervals are the same. It is said that after reaching the knight level, the transformation time will be increased to two hours, and the interval will be shortened to one hour.
In addition, the more Liu Ye thought about it, the more he felt that this pseudotheocratic religion could not be regarded as a simple religion at all, but rather a complex of a cult + pyramid scheme + terrorist organization + high-tech laboratory.
How could high-tech equipment such as tempered glassware and aerobic water when you wake up be something that a god would allow to use? And the anthropomorphic form he currently has is clearly the appearance of the genetic biochemical warriors that all countries in his time are desperately researching.
Everything in the Anthropomorphic Religion is full of mysteries, and there should be even bigger secrets in it that have not been known by himself, at least Liu Ye definitely does not believe that the so-called Anthropomorphic God really exists. Based on past experience, it is estimated that some behind-the-scenes people have invented non-existent gods to cover up their ulterior motives.
