Chapter 026: Postmodern Hallows
Amid the majestic music, the glass cover rises, the light blue curtain slides down, and a strange object appears in view.
It is a glittering golden polyprism, the whole resembles an ellipsoidal shape, the length will be more than a meter, and the solid wood and gold flakes are layered together, and the shape is exquisite and luxurious. Two pairs of gold wings are elegantly inlaid at the top, four gold rings protrude from the bottom like four legs, and two gold-filled straight bars cross through the foot rings, looking like the latest sleighs.
Although the Ark of the Covenant has always existed in the texts of the sect, and no one can be sure of its true image, it is certainly very different from the holy relic in front of us, because the so-called Ark of the Covenant has too much postmodern temperament, and it is more like a new device carefully created by some high-tech company.
"Mr. Abai, are you kidding?"
"Take such a fake and pass it off as a holy relic, you will definitely be punished!"
"We should get out of here as soon as possible, or the Lord's thunderous wrath will implicate us as well."
“……”
The angry shouting and the sound of smashing chairs suddenly resounded, and the grand press conference was about to turn into a farce.
Wu Ming still sat honestly in his chair, calm and out of place with the outside world.
Wu Ming knew exactly how to describe the sacred artifact in his nerves: a cube cabinet made of honey locust wood, with gold on the inside, more than a meter long, and above it were two pure gold wise angels holding their wings opposite, which contained two tablets engraved with the Nine Rings, the Staff of Allen, and a gold jar, which contained manna that could never be eaten.
But Wu Ming also knows that that description is not complete!
The Ark of the Covenant is not just a legend, but a real relic. Its true purpose is not simply to convey the Creator's commandments, but to protect his people from alien beasts!
The surviving fresh meat of later generations have long known about the existence of the Ark of the Covenant, and even have the opportunity to see the three-dimensional vision of the Ark with their own eyes every day, but the image of the Ark is not fixed, sometimes it looks like a towering ancient tree, sometimes it looks like a small jewelry box, and sometimes it even looks like a round steamed bun......
And the relevant propaganda proclamation is full of intimidation:
"The useless work of the lower creatures, the arrival of the master of the universe is unstoppable!"
"The product of wishful thinking, a great rebellious delay!"
"Kiata's divine power is unblockable, how can a stupid human resist the power of heaven?!"
"Welcome to report the whereabouts of the Ark of the Covenant, those who provide reliable information will receive additional gifts, please contact customer service staff ......"
For this human artifact, the alien invaders have long hated it, and in the hundreds of years since they invaded the earth, they have been trying to find out the news of the Ark of the Covenant, but they have never been able to find it.
There is also a saying among the fresh meat that the ancient human powerhouse once stumbled upon a strange object, which was inconspicuous, but obviously beyond the manufacturing process of the world, and more importantly, the human powerhouse felt the danger from it.
Although it is not clear what kind of danger it is, in order to prevent an inexplicable disaster from befalling the world, the strong man of mankind tried his best to make a powerful cabinet, sealed the item, and gave the cabinet the name of the sect's holy weapon, and handed it over to future generations to take proper care, and this is the real reason for the creation of the Ark of the Covenant.
In speculation, the items sealed by the Ark of the Covenant are likely to be special energy markers that the alien demons delivered to the earth in advance. With the help of the positioning of this energy marker, they can cross the distance of millions of light years in a very short time, and suddenly kill the earth, and because the human beings at that time were still in the age of cold weapons, they could not organize effective resistance, even if the crossing process would bring a huge loss of energy, the alien demons could still do whatever they wanted, easily occupy this blue planet, and then colonize as they wanted.
The advent of the Ark of the Covenant delayed the terrible conquest for thousands of years.
In the long course of history, the enigmatic Ark of the Covenant has disappeared for a long time. Around 600 B.C., with the invasion of Relusalian by the ancient Babylonians, the Ark of the Covenant, which had been kept in the Holy Palace, disappeared. It is rumored to have been destroyed by the Babylonians because they feared that the supreme power of the Ark of the Covenant would bring disaster to the invaders; It is also said that it was collected by the faithful and has been well preserved somewhere in the cellar of the Holy Palace Mountain; More are convinced that it was brought to Ethiopia and that King Solomon had given it to him and the son of Queen Sheba, Menelik, in a semi-protective nature.
But it did come later.
In this thousand-year-old city, in this era of despair about to come, it was like a glimpse of a frightening sky, only flashing the holy light, and then disappearing again. For this world, it does not offer any hope of life, as if to imply that the entire human race has given up for the gods.
According to the information that Wu Ming has, the reappearance of the Ark of the Covenant at this moment is just a grand ceremony of the sect, except that believers can more confidently claim to be with God, but it does not play a role in turning things around the tragic historical trend.
It's actually quite understandable.
Thousands of years have passed, and whether it is the energy mark of the alien invader or the forbidden power of the human powerhouse, there will be a decay. They have lost their effectiveness, neither helping to travel through space, nor can they manifest the power of the Lord. The Ark of the Covenant is just a figurative symbol, and in a way, it is even closer to the graphic identity of the so-called Ark organization.
However, is this ridiculous relic in front of me a fake?
In this regard, Wu Ming made a diametrically opposed judgment to most of the people present - it was a real ark of appointments, genuine!
Because, it has a unique aura, and that kind of aura, as an enlightenment fighter, Wu Ming is very familiar.
That's the breath of enlightenment!
This holy artifact is the product of the fusion of consciousness and external objects, and from another point of view, it is very likely that it is an enlightenment body created by the efforts of high-level enlightenment fighters in ancient times!
The aura was already very weak, probably sealed by the cabinet wrapped in pure gold, or it had been too long and the consciousness energy had been exhausted, especially during this period, it had to constantly cast the power of thunder to the outside world, warning the ignorant approachers not to act rashly.
However, with that faint aura alone, Wu Ming could still conclude that its original owner must have been incredibly powerful, even if he was in the best condition, he was afraid that it would not be less than one-tenth.
He is God!
The super strong man who left a holy weapon in the name of the Creator and guarded this blue planet without anyone knowing it is a god-like existence!
However, right now, this holy artifact was being questioned and spurned by the people it protected, and Wu Ming even suspected that the red-faced believers were about to rush forward and fist and kick each other.
Faced with the chaotic scene, Abai was unhurried. He took a few steps closer to the center of the display stand, his stubby arm gesturing twice in front of the cabinet. With the swing of the arm, the blue-white electric light circulated between the gold sheets of the cabinet, and the entire cabinet also underwent a slight deformation, as if it was reluctantly transforming into a cube.
"Our initial thoughts, like yours, were adamant that sacred artifacts had their legendary form, but it was our preconceived judgment that caused it to be lost for thousands of years."
Abay's square face had a triumphant expression. He suddenly raised his voice: "It's constantly evolving!" Our holy vessels are not immutable dead things, but living and willing! That is the manifestation of divine power, and it is the unfathomable nature of God! ”
Abai's loud voice and the miraculous transformation of the Ark of the Covenant temporarily suppressed the commotion in the audience, but unexpectedly, the Ark of the Covenant did not develop into the legendary form as people wished. The cube had just taken on a slight appearance, but it looked like it had had an electrical malfunction, and with a rattling sound, it turned into a fusiform very simply, and it looked like a miniature version of a space vehicle.
"Uh...... That's it. Look, it's evolved again......"
This change was clearly unexpected by Abai. But he was so good that no matter how things developed, he always had a way to justify himself: "This is God's revelation, and our future is in the universe; We will be the masters of the entire universe! ”
The buzz was still ringing down there, and it was clear that Abay needed to work harder to convince the audience.
Abai was indeed prepared.
He glanced to the side of the booth and said in a high-pitched voice, "A wonderful scene is about to take place, my friends, and I ask you to keep your eyes open in your slumber, for you will soon find that the nightmare that has been haunting you is about to pass, and that our world will be reborn under the protection of the Light!" ”
Two black-clad assistants pushed up an iron cage, which contained the nightmare of everyone present - a zombie!
The exclamation sounded instantly, and Wu Ming also heard a certain brother behind him blurt out and shout "damn".
"Don't be nervous, we're in good control."
Abai smiled and waved his hand in all directions, "You will see for yourselves how this filthy fellow has become as holy as an angel under the cleansing of the Ark of the Covenant. ”
The scene was completely silent, so quiet that you couldn't even hear the sound of breathing.
In front of the Ark of the Covenant, the iron cage was lifted, and the hideous-looking zombie crawled out slowly, and just as it was about to stretch out its withered hands and crush everyone's hearts fiercely, a miracle happened.
A flash of lightning shot out from the chest of the covenant, hitting the zombie's head!
"Ho Ho ......"
Deep in the throat of a zombie, there is a creepy sound, as if an oversmoked singer is clearing his throat and preparing to dedicate a song to you. But in the blink of an eye, the zombie was quiet again, just standing there, not moving, as if brewing emotions.
"Good, great!"
Abay's jaw lifted, not knowing if he was applauding the light of the Ark of the Covenant or saluting the zombies. But what is the use of the set of toothbrushes that have been placed on the podium, everyone finally sees clearly.
"It seems that in order for people to accept you, you need to spend a lot of money on a cosmetic surgery. But before that, can I ask you to brush your teeth first, I guess you haven't taken care of your oral hygiene in years. ”
