As it turns out, the Ask for Ask strategy never goes out of style.

After the nuns performed their miracles in front of everyone, the civilians who had been clamoring to leave the oasis today also changed their minds.

Especially when they mentioned that it was not the Brotherhood that posted the recruitment, but the Oasis government, most of them were moved.

The Brotherhood is notorious, and to join them is to abandon one's conscience altogether.

But the government army is different, the local garrison has a formal establishment, recognized by the various Allied powers, and in peacetime, it is an iron rice bowl that people are vying for, and if there is a soldier in a family, the street thugs who defect to the Brotherhood will never trouble them again.

In non-war times, the threshold for joining the local garrison is extremely harsh, and almost every year the recruitment is done by the relevant households, and this good errand does not fall on the heads of civilians at all.

The arrival of the rebels changed everything.

As long as they survive this war, this is a chance to change their lives forever.

Nothingness followed behind them, and when the two received the supplies, it was almost afternoon, and the team behind them was still out of sight, but unfortunately, when they expressed their desire to join the church, they were rejected by the nuns.

Their organization in the church is called the Sisterhood, and it is clear that Song Lan and Nothingness do not meet the criteria of "sisters".

The Church currently only admits nuns, and more than 1 year of experience in mythology is required.

As for those who tried to get by, they were also politely rejected.

The two saw a strong man with a beard claim that his gender identity was female, but the nuns still turned him away.

Song Lan could only sigh that fortunately this was the border city of the oasis, if it was placed in the core city of the coalition government, these nuns would have to do something.

"Didn't you say that churches need a large number of believers? How did they shut out most of them? ”

Nothingness studied the recruitment notices of the local garrisons, and compared to the recruitment standards of the church, the recruitment notices were much more lenient.

To sum up, there is no gender limit, live.

As long as you meet the above criteria, even if you are missing an arm or leg, you can become a regular army in the oasis.

"Some organizations are strict in and wide out, and some organizations are easy to enter and difficult to come out."

The work experience of the head of the Anti-Fraud Propaganda Section of the 17th District has played a role again, the standard of this recruitment notice is too familiar, and MLM organizations generally recruit people like this, "Generally speaking, it is a long process to recruit followers, but now that the rebels are in the city, the Oasis Peace Company has no time. ”

Once members join the church and find that the miracles are out of reach for them, they will retreat.

And this kind of behavior is put in the army and becomes desertion.

If caught, they will be tried by a military court, and even if they are lucky enough to escape from the oasis, they will be blacklisted, and they will never be able to return to their homeland in this life.

"They can take advantage of the system of the army and force recruits to pray."

Nothingness will be skeptical.

It wasn't until they completed the registration process according to the location on the notice and walked into the company's temporary barracks in the city of Rut with their luggage, that the daily schedule explained everything.

There was a prayer in a moment.

In the words of the instructors, this is to prepare them for survival in the coming war.

The situation in the oasis is extremely dire, the rebels have captured all the major cities, and in order to win this war, in addition to unity, they must pray to the god of life for a miracle.

Immediately after that, the story of the church's preparation came in.

Legend has it that those who have been blessed by the god of life are like gods of war on the battlefield, any wound can heal in a short time, and they will tirelessly attack the enemy, even the most vicious rebels cannot stop them.

The Church's brainwashing of the instructor was very successful, and he believed in the existence of the God of life from the bottom of his heart, believing that God would help them win this seemingly impossible war.

But the recruits who listened to the speech frowned, they were not interested in the stories of the brave battles on the front line, they only wanted to know when the potions used by the nuns would be officially distributed to them.

Because the nuns promised them that the potion represented the power of the god of life.

It heals all wounds, regenerates severed limbs, and rejuvenates those who are terminally ill.

Everyone needs a bottle of these potions.

When the instructor saw that the recruits were disheartened, he couldn't help but reveal his true colors.

He fired into the sky, silencing the chatter, his hideous expression like that of a Brotherhood villain, which aroused the deepest fears in the hearts of the civilians.

He summoned all the recruits to the square.

Now the instructor is very motivated, he has become a believer in the God of life, and more importantly, the church has given him a clear target to gather recruits to complete the prayers, which is a symbol of his strong faith, and the merit of helping the lost lambs find their faith will also be counted on their heads.

"First of all, kneel on the ground with a pious heart."

The instructor asked the recruits to sit in a circle, which naturally caused resistance in the hearts of the people.

The square outside the barracks, the ground was rough and covered with gravel, and no one wanted to kneel on such a hard ground, let alone know the God of life at all, how could they pray with a pious heart?

But forced by the reprimand of the instructor, the recruits reluctantly followed the order.

"This is your first prayer, and I will personally guide you through the ......"

The instructor's stern voice came to an abrupt end.

When a group of people fell to their knees in unison, the two people who were still standing in the crowd blinked.

He walked briskly towards the two of them.

"Nothingness" put his hands on his chest and did not back down, let alone a little minion who didn't even have a name, even if the God of Life himself appeared in front of him, it was impossible for him to kneel down and pray to him.

It's still possible to take Song Lan to the tavern for a drink.

As the saying goes, a gun shoots a bird.

The instructor's hand reached for the leather whip tied around his waist, and he was pleased that on the first day of the recruit's enlistment, two disobedient appeared, which was an excellent time for others to take warning.

"Tell me you ......"

There was a brief blank in his consciousness, and when he came back to his senses, he found himself in front of the two of them.

The moon stars are scarce.

The cold wind of the evening made many people shiver.

What just happened?

He vaguely remembered that he had walked towards the two of them, intending to make them understand the fate of disobedience in front of all the recruits.

Even Nothingness was stunned for a long time.

The leap in time had taken place without warning, and he had just prepared to raise his head in the barracks and lead all the recruits to a mutiny on the first day of the assembly.

Judging from the current situation, Song Lan seems to have no intention of solving the instructor for the time being.

Otherwise, when the void of consciousness returns to clarity, they will be presented with a corpse pierced through the chest.

Not only that, Song Lan also excitedly shook the instructor's hand and said again and again, "Thanks to you, instructor, today's prayer has benefited us a lot, but I still have some questions I want to ask you, do you have time next?" ”

"Ah, oh, huh?"

It took the instructor a long time to accept the reality, and he glanced at the time.

21:00 p.m.

This is the end of the second prayer session, according to the schedule, the recruits have an hour of washing and free time, and go to bed at 22:00 punctually to officially end their first day of military life.

And judging from the current situation, the two people he faced were not only not thorns, but also activists among the cultists.

If you put it in school, you are the kind of good student who runs to the teacher's side to ask questions as soon as class ends.

"Old Song, you ......"

"Nothingness" was dumbfounded.

A few hours are fleeting, and the darkness of the sky also means that everyone in this world has taken a few hours of life into the future.

And all this is just to skip the "course" that Song Lan doesn't like.

Let the time of the class be infinitely shortened, and the time between classes can be extended indefinitely, this is Song Lan's wish as a student.

"It's been a long time since I've met someone I can talk to, instructor, I know there's a nice restaurant around here, and I'd like to treat you to a drink."

"yes, okay."

The instructor nodded, "I naturally have time to answer your questions. ”

This guy accepted the setting of a good friend in a daze!

"Nothingness" could not hide the desire to complain, he knew very well that the moment time leaped, Song Lan's virus was deeply implanted in the instructor's body - this staunch believer in the god of life had become the first object to be infected in the military camp at this moment.

And he completely left behind the rule that prohibits anyone from leaving the barracks.

"Lao Xu, come along, I think you also have a lot of experience in the prayer just now, right?"

“…… Yes, I also have a lot of questions. ”

"Nothingness" was forced to produce a lot of learning experience.

And for Song Lan, all this is under his control.

When time leaps forward, people's consciousness falls into a temporary void, which is also when they are most susceptible to the seduction of others.

No one understands this feeling better than Song Lan.

Every once in a while, the evil Director Lu would take advantage of the confusion when he just got up to induce him to agree to some strange requests.

Although the Director was not involved in the operation, her spirit is with everyone.

At Song Lan's suggestion, the instructor who was supposed to supervise all the recruits to stay in the barracks took the initiative to leave from the main gate with the two of them, and when they saw the three of them talking and laughing, the guards at the main gate looked at each other - they hadn't seen the instructor so happy for a long time.

Sitting in the tavern and ordering a few synthetic barbecues, Song Lan proudly called for a bottle of high-end wine and a glass of apple juice.

All of the above funds are jointly sponsored by the Law Enforcement Department of the 17th District and Princess Lieyang's small treasury.

"What does this apple juice mean?"

When Song Lan brought the apple juice to herself, the instructor unsurprisingly cast a suspicious look.

It is extremely rude to drink apple juice on a wine table.

Song Lan's face did not change, "Instructor, have you ever heard of ascetics?" ”

"Ascetics?"

"The so-called penance is to overcome the desires in your heart, don't look at me like I am now, in fact, I used to be a drunkard who was addicted to alcohol."

Nothingness was stunned again.

This Song Lan didn't have a word of truth in his mouth from beginning to end, and the fraud gang of the Brotherhood was not as good at deceiving people as he was!

But under the pressure of Song Lan's eyes, he still coughed lightly and said, "Yes, he used to be a complete drunkard. ”

"And then? Why should you quit drinking? ”

This topic managed to arouse the interest of the instructors.

"Then there was a period of self-indulgence, I got drunk every day, and finally my stomach couldn't stand it, and when I was taken to the hospital, the prosthetic doctor almost pronounced me dead, and when people are on the verge of death, their consciousness will be out of their bodies, and all their past experiences will come to him like a marquee, and then I heard a voice."

"What sound?"

The instructor seemed to sense something, and asked.

"The voice asked me, if I were given a chance to do it all over again, what would I choose?"

A good lie must be a mixed bag.

There was a time when he was indeed often drunk, and that was because Lu Xiang always liked to rack his brains to get him drunk and take some actions that were not humane to outsiders.

Later, she heard that getting drunk often is not good for her health, so she gave up on the matter.

"You heard the whispers of the God of Life!"

The instructor was about to get up from his chair in excitement, the church had mentioned the existence of whispers, but even he had never really received the gaze of the God of life.

"She gave me a second life, so I decided to give up my desires and become an ascetic."

"I see."

"To tell you the truth, the two of us came to the oasis this time to pursue the guidance of the God of Life, instructor, in your eyes, what kind of existence is the God of Life?"

"Compassionate, fraternal love, she loves everyone in the world equally."

"I think so too."

Speaking of this, Song Lan suddenly changed her words and asked again, "So, do you think that once we start a war with the rebels, how many people will survive this war in the end?" ”

The instructor was silent for a long time and did not answer the question directly.

If you look at this with reason, their chances of winning are infinitely close to zero, which is why he believes that only a miracle can help them win this war.

His eyes sharpened a lot, "What exactly do you want to say?" ”

"Would a compassionate and loving God really kill her followers for a war that is almost impossible to win?"

Perhaps, this is the test given to us by the God of life, courage and determination, and firm faith, and this is the quality we want to show in this trial."

"These are important, but in addition to that, you have to be wise."

"Wisdom?"

"You're right, it's a trial, but have you ever thought that maybe the real purpose of this trial isn't for us to win the war."

The small theater of its two hundred and seventy-seven:

Saturday of a certain year, a certain month, early in the morning

The day finally came, and Lu Xiang stood in the spacious living room of the apartment, feeling apprehensive in his heart.

The baby lay on the carpet and looked curiously at the new objects around him.

This is a tradition mentioned by Song Lan, and the objects caught by the baby often represent her future career choice.

The pen represents the word worker.

Wallets represent entry into the financial sector.

Empty dishes and chopsticks represent gourmets.

……

It took Lu Xiang a lot of thought to find these things, and she was very curious about what kind of career her baby would choose.

"Ready, begin."

The little baby who got the command immediately moved quickly on the carpet, she babbled forward, ignoring all the objects around her, crawled straight to Lu Xiang's side, and then hugged her calf tightly.

“…… This, what does this mean? ”

Lu Xiang had to ask for off-site assistance.

"Maybe she didn't understand the rules of drawing lots."

Song Lan said, "Come, you go and show her." ”

Lu Xiang nodded and walked to the center of a pile of objects, while the little baby sat on the ground, looking at her curiously.

"Ready, begin."

Lu Xiang, who got the order, ignored all the objects on the carpet and walked straight towards Song Lan.

Then, hold it in one hand.

The baby's eyes widened and widened.

"Lao Lu."

After several failed attempts to break free, Song Lan concluded, "I think the problem is with you. ”
