Some people are dead, but he is still alive.

Bruno thought it was a philosophical phrase, but at this moment, he had a new understanding of it.

When the world of illusion shattered, and countless cracks appeared in the universe and the stars, causing the world to fall apart, he should have died completely.

The cause of death was that someone had pierced his heart from behind, and the brief trance led to death, leaving him with no way of knowing how the other party was close to him.

It seems that the high priest's assessment of the town is skewed.

They thought that the other party had escaped the control of the canopy with some kind of drug, so that they could destroy the canopy and steal the crescent moon, but they didn't expect that the other party could do this without the help of external forces even if they were in the world of illusion.

"Everything in the world of illusions is under your control."

The voice behind him continued, and the right hand that had pierced his heart withdrew from his body, and Bruno, who had lost his support, fell to his knees.

With a shattered heart and massive blood loss, his entire body was gradually getting out of his grasp.

"But you can't react to attacks outside of consciousness and understanding."

He had already seen the same ability once in the town, people in a state of hallucination, did not fall into a coma, everything they did in the hallucination could have an effect on reality.

And when he solves the ability in the real world, the illusion world woven by the other party will be shattered.

Bruno's mouth was wide open, but he couldn't make a sound.

The reason why he is still conscious is that his body is undergoing some kind of change, and the moment the other party pulls his arm away from his body, it seems that something has drilled through the hole in his body and has taken the initiative to repair the broken heart.

At the same time, a distant and hazy echo came to his mind.

"Be one of us."

The voice sounded the same as the way the moon god descended to give directions.

This discovery terrified Bruno, who suddenly realized that the real enemy hidden in the city was not a specific person, but a god equivalent to the god of the moon.

And he, as one of the most devout followers of the Eclipse Sect, could not resist the whispers of this foreign god in his mind at all.

……

The process of transformation and fusion lasted a few minutes.

Father Bruno's fatal wounds were repaired and he was given a new lease of life.

He sat on his knees again and gasped for a moment, then stood up with his body propped up.

Swarm.

He received the name of this unfamiliar system, and he also gained a deeper understanding of the identity of the person in front of him.

The god of the harvest.

Most of the members of the swarm see Song Lan this way, especially the hornworms that are connected to the consciousness of the mother, and they are constantly spreading the glorious deeds of the harvest god through the consciousness network - only those individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the swarm will be able to taste the food made by the harvest god himself.

Other words...... You just lost at the hands of a cook?

Bruno didn't understand why even a cook in this particular group was so strong.

However, Song Lan was not satisfied with the changes that happened to Bruno, he originally wanted to make a bug and let the Devourer parasitize him back when Bruno was on the verge of death, so as to retain the ability to manipulate illusions, but after the parasitism was completed, the Devourer brought bad news.

When Bruno's mind is transformed, his abilities disappear.

This shows that the Eclipse Cult has installed a "faith value detector" in the minds of each believer, and once there is a problem with the believer's faith, all gifts to them will be terminated immediately.

The ability to manipulate illusions is not insignificant, especially the rare ability that made him fall into the illusion world without seeing the trigger rules in the two encounters, and he is sure that if the true holder of this ability defects to the coalition government, he will immediately receive the Rescuer Medal of more than five stars.

The two of them stared at each other, and Song Lan felt a little unhappy in her heart.

It's like trying hard to think you've caught Groud, only to open your backpack and find that it's a coal turtle.

Fortunately, Bruno's memories have survived, which has led to an unimaginable path for the swarm.

Song Lan soon realized that the Lunar Eclipse Sect was "infecting" the citizens of the Seventeenth District through the Internet, not just to get their attention, but for a deeper reason, they wanted to build a canopy here.

The canopy was originally created by the High Priest, and in Bruno's mind, this ability to control illusions was most likely due to the High Priest.

It is essentially the product of the integration of the consciousness of countless people, the form is related to the imagination and cognition of the locals, and after the canopy begins to take shape, its power can affect more people, and anyone who looks at it directly will be affected by the collective consciousness and eventually become one of them.

An eerie moon in the town was conceived by the locals, containing the natives' fears of infection and death, and when necessary, the Eclipse cult made all their fears a reality.

On the surface, it was the Eclipse Sect that took advantage of the fear of infection among people in third countries to create one canopy after another, transforming the outer towns into incubators for spiritual viruses.

On a deeper level, they found a way between psionic and physical energy, and the reason why the Eclipse Cult placed so much emphasis on the crescent moon was because this experiment was the first time they had succeeded in fusing psionic and devourer.

Similar experiments have been conducted in other towns and villages, but have all ended in failure.

Thinking of this, Song Lan opened her mouth and asked, "Your plan is to build a canopy in the Seventeenth District through the Internet?" ”

"The web is just a means, what we want to do is bring people's consciousness together."

"The consciousness of the individual is very weak, but once they are brought together, they become an energy that cannot be underestimated, and both the canopy and the church need this energy. ”

Power bank.

Song Lan immediately thought of this thing, which had become an antique in 2166.

In the absence of any progress in psionic research, the Cult of the Eclipse has blazed a new trail - using the fear of infection and radiation and their belief in third people as a power bank, and achieving biopower generation on the psionic level.

Pure faith is probably useless, their real particularity lies in the use of the Devourer's mother-in-law consciousness to turn all believers into "infected", using this consciousness to connect their minds and consciousness, and under this system, each believer becomes a power bank of the moon god.

It was hard for Song Lan to imagine how terrifying the spiritual strength of the Moon God had reached with the blessing of so many believers.

"Father Bruno, I would like to discuss with you a question about theology."

He had an idea and asked, "Do you think hornworms or mutated creatures can have faith?" ”
