Chapter 330: The Fictional "God"
There seems to be a so-called "myth" in every civilization. No matter how advanced the civilization of human beings is, they still cannot change the shaping and reverence of God. The reason is simply because we need faith, sustenance, and even more so a little fear of nature.
Is God really God? Perhaps they themselves know that they may not be gods, but just humans with a higher civilization. But humans really need gods to soothe the fragility and cowardice in their hearts. I remember an Indian movie that was very good, an alien came to take the earth, and saw that the people of the earth devoutly believed in various religions and believed in those so-called gods, and he himself looked for those gods with a longing face.
It wasn't until the end that he realized that there were actually gods in this world, but there were two gods! A god may have existed, but they didn't think that those who were greedy for power would use their former glory to pursue them. And the other is a fictional god! And the people of the world believe in their imaginary gods, not the pure gods that they once had!
Perhaps the gods on earth were the prototypes of those well-meaning aliens who came to help the aborigines develop, but the sects that developed later always enslaved and oppressed the minds of the common people in the name of God. People have God in their hearts, but it is often the clergy who are sought after. People like to hear God's stories, but what they see is all that has been codified and adapted by the church.
Over time, people have long forgotten what the real gods look like, and instead believe in those imaginary "gods"!
Candova is an alien, and he knows in his heart that he is not a god, but he loves the feeling of being humbly and deferentially pursued by these cowardly and ignorant natives. The feeling of being high above is even cooler than Empress Claire sitting in the palace of the Titan Empire.
At least the Empress will not be feared and worshipped like a god, but he Candova will! He even casually said something that would be used as a quote by those sycophants. Even if someone has a slight disrespect for him, the following people will automatically solve it.
In fact, when people blindly obey and fanatize, the spiritual cohesion and madness produced are extremely terrifying, and the most outstanding masterpiece in this should be the movie "Silent Hill".
The purpose of establishing theocracy is to make people fanatical, and then follow in God's footsteps like crazy! Candova had always been an ambitious man, and he hadn't discovered these things before, but it was a joy to find out that the planet's interest groups worshipped him as a god and obediently completed his every mission.
In fact, the human heart is always expanding in desire, and it is because of this that he becomes crazy.
Right now, there is a group of believers guarding his door, and these believers never question his commands, and whoever he tells to die, will die. There is no reason, no legal reason, just because it was "God" who said it.
He sat on the edge of a rooftop window, looking out at the scenery outside the window, the tallest building in the city, with a modern atmosphere underneath, people on the go, and if anyone had an abnormality, they would be immediately supervised, and the city was full of robocops and armored guards, who were always on the lookout for anyone to change and kill them.
In fact, this ubiquitous presence of guards and killings brought uneasiness to mankind in times of peace, but in this era of surviving the end times, it has become a reassuring existence for the people. Some of them may question the overbearing nature of this kind of arrest and killing, but many more people prefer to survive in such an environment.
Thinking about peace in troubled times is the idea of ordinary people, and it is also the nature of human beings.
"Lord, the person you asked us to pick up has already entered the city!" A man dressed in a slender brocade robe walked in and bowed.
With a heavy notebook and a pen in his hand, he was one of Candova's most devoted followers, and his primary task was to keep a record of Candova's words and deeds, and then to educate the people with it.
Candoa said to him: "Don't be embarrassed for him, but politely invite him over, and I will meet him personally!" ”
"Yes!" The monk said and withdrew.
A meaningful smile appeared on the corner of Candova's mouth, and he didn't know what to do.
Lei Luo had already jumped off the other party's helicopter here, and something happened there.
Canglan got the free fruit, and Lao Xiao followed her out of the warehouse, who knew that Lao Xiao stabbed all the mercenaries around him to death and then looked at Canglan.
He found Canglan very calm, but still explained: "You can't let them know your whereabouts!" ”
Canglan frowned slightly: "And then?" ”
Lao Xiao said: "You come with me!" With that, he left the prison with Canglan.
The two grabbed a modified car and drove towards the ruins of the city, hiding along the way to check if there were any pursuers, but fortunately there were no accidents. Lao Xiao parked the car on the side of the road, then opened the lid of a sewer and walked down with Canglan, and the two walked for a long time in the dim and stuffy sewer before they came to a small door and stopped.
Lao Xiao kicked the door open hard, and the dust inside instantly rose, but fortunately it was not too dirty. He touched the wall and turned on the light, and the inside instantly brightened, and he said to Canglan, "This used to be Jessica's home!" ”
Canglan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then walked in, looking around, it was crowded and a little messy. A small table in the corner was filled with daily necessities. The small bed next to the wall is two layers, full of sundries, and the bedding is still there, and a layer of plastic sheeting is also laid to prevent dust.
Lao Xiao ripped off the plastic sheet, and the sheets and quilt covers underneath were still clean. He said to Canglan: "You can stay here for a few days!" ”
Canglan looked puzzled.
Lao Xiao pointed to the fruits and said, "Eat them!" ”
Canglan didn't think much about it when she heard this, she directly picked up one and took a bite, and the flesh inside instantly flowed into her mouth like water, making her have to suck it quickly. After sucking it, she handed one to Lao Xiao and motioned for Lao Xiao to eat one too.
Lao Xiao smiled and said, "I've already eaten it too." But he still took one and ate it, and he motioned for the other party to eat more as he ate.
Canglan's appetite was not very great, but he still bit and sucked again.
Lao Xiao ate a Xiaoyao fruit, and his bones began to crackle, and then the dry skin on his body began to plump, and seemed to be rejuvenating. He said to Canglan: "You have been hiding here for the past few days, don't go out, and don't want to go back to space, I think your spaceship will probably be shot down as soon as it takes off!" ”
