Chapter 61: Invitation
"You don't want to?" said with a sneer on the female cyborg humanoid, "that only shows that your belief in the Supreme Mastermind is not pious enough, and your will to join us to serve the Supreme is not strong enough, and it only means that you are not qualified to bask in the supreme glory at all." In this case, I can only represent the Church and deprive you of the right to make pilgrimages, and you will no longer have anything to do with the Church. After all, you used to be our brothers and sisters, and we won't do anything to you, we will just send you back the way you came, I mean the memory chip. ”
"Jessica, don't be impulsive. The male figure on the side reassured, "This happens every time, so let's give them another chance." Look at the two of us, do you have any clothes on us?"
Of course not, both humanoid bodies are made of metal, and although they resemble humans, they are still very different from human skin, and they have no human sexual characteristics, and even if they don't wear anything, they don't look unusual, so that these pilgrims have been ignoring their state.
"You are here to join our family and serve the Mastermind with us, and giving up your body is the most important step. You don't even want to give up your clothes, how can we believe that you have the courage to give up your body without regrets?
The male form made a lot of sense, and the buzz below quickly subsided, of course, it could also be that the threat of the female figure played a role, after all, these pilgrims would come here, mainly yearning for immortal life and the days when they didn't need to worry about it anymore, and if they were really sent back, there would be nothing, so the pilgrims, although they were very reluctant, began to take off their clothes one after another and be honest with each other.
If you look closely, these people are men and women, of different ages, there are no rules, and they don't know how the Cult of Mechanics chooses, but it can be seen from their honest obedience to orders to undress that their belief in the so-called supreme mastermind is indeed devout enough, at least enough to fight their own shame.
"Very well, you have proved your faith with your actions, and this is a perfect first step. The female figure even laughed coldly, "Now, look up. ”
The image acquisition device quickly swept over everyone's face, and the two of them quickly compared several images in their memories one by one, no, no, no, everyone looked at it, and the two figures were disappointed to find that the target really didn't seem to be mixed with the pilgrims.
"Snort", the male figure suddenly pulled out a long wire from the position of the neck and handed it to the woman known as Jessica, Jessica was very skillful in inserting the wire into the back of her neck, the two figures seemed to be communicating quickly through this form, when the wire was retracted from the neck of the male figure, he turned to the guide who had been standing aside, "What is your name?" ”
"My name is Marko. The attitude of the guide is very subtle, it is said that his status in the Cult of Mechanics will not be too low, otherwise it will not be possible to take on the task of guiding the way many times, but he is very respectful to the two figures, respectful and even close to the point of flattery, "What do the two adults command?"
"Hmm, do you know us?" the male humanoid metal's facial features moved, making a surprised expression, "Then you should have been a guide for a long time." ”
"Yes, two adults, I joined the church fifteen years ago and became one of the guides. Six years ago, I had the privilege of meeting two adults once, and it was the honor of my life. ”
"Then it's no wonder. The male figure nodded, "It seems that you were also present for that accident." ”
"Yes, the two adults not only did not punish me for that accident, but also let me continue to stay in the church, and I dare not forget this kindness for a moment. ”
"That's not your fault, and it's the same this time. ”
Marco broke out in a cold sweat in an instant, and stammered: "Two, two adults, this, this, this time there is also a problem?"
"No, it has nothing to do with the human believers above you. The male figure shook his head and said, "Let me ask you, did anything special happen to you during this pilgrimage? ”
"Everything was fine, nothing happened. Marco replied abruptly, "After seven days of intensive meditation, no one has ever left the meditation room, and no one has been in contact with anyone else since then, and they have come down directly in a flying machine." Everyone is always together on the road, and if someone leaves the team, they will definitely be discovered. ”
"I see, don't be nervous, you guys did a good job this time without any problems. After calming the nervous Marco a few words, the male humanoid gaze swept over everyone again, no, not just looking at everyone, but looking around, unfortunately, he didn't find the target, but he still raised his voice and said loudly, "A few guests, it's a pity that you are not among these people, although I don't know how you managed to evade our detection, but I believe that you are nearby, and you should be able to hear what I say." ”
No one responded, as it should be, there was no one around and no outsiders, how could anyone respond.
"We already know the strength and identity of several guests, and we also know the intentions of several guests, I think that there is no direct conflict between the two of us, and we can sit down and talk about it like the humans above. ”
"Therefore, we have no ill will, and a few of the guests should have noticed it, and with the power of our church, it is entirely possible to fill the city indefinitely with inferior machinery, leaving no gaps for a few, so that even if a few guests have the ability to hide their tracks, it is impossible to enter the interior of the Tower of the Highest, but we did not do so, I think, it is enough to show our goodwill, you think, Mr. Shull. ”
There was still no response, only a gentle breeze, blowing the dust from the ruins in the distance.
"My name is Maximilan, this is Jessica, and the two of us are the executive center of the High Masterbrain Church, from the third floor of the Supreme Tower, and together with the control center of the second floor, we work for the High Mastermind. Obviously no one answered, as if he was in a one-man show, but Massiman was not angry at all, and said loudly, "Here, on behalf of the control center, on behalf of the entire Supreme Tower, we send an invitation to the eight guests, if the eight guests are willing to give everyone a chance, you might as well show up and communicate face-to-face, after all, in my capacity, it seems a bit stupid to shout into the air like this." ”
"Of course, it's understandable that guests should be careful when they are in the enemy camp, and even if they don't want to show up, I won't be upset, and the door is always open to you, whenever you approach any building, and make your intentions clear to the overseers inside. So, when the meeting will begin, it depends on when the guests change their minds, and we are always looking forward to your visit. ”
"Praise the Holy Spirit, praise the Dark Moon. There was a sudden fluctuation in the air, and Shure, dressed in black holy robes, paced out of the void with the holy book in his hand, "In the name of the Lord, I send greetings to the creatures of the other world. ”
