Chapter 163: The Truth of the Gods
"The Plague Cult and the Dream Cult are both very dangerous cults, they believe in terrible evil gods and make a mess of the world, they are people who can't stand the temptation and betray the truth.
I can understand the motivations of the believers of the plague god, but the believers of the dream god are just a bunch of cowards!
I'm sorry...... I was a little excited, but I was telling the truth, those guys betrayed the truth and lost their conscience...... Those two terrifying evil gods are turning all humans into beasts again. ”
"I understand." Su Ming smiled.
"I'm sorry, I've complained a little too much, since the two of you are not husband and wife, then I'll arrange two rooms for you, although our village is simple, there are still a lot of empty houses."
"Thank you no need, let's live together." Su Ming said immediately.
Sara blinked and looked at Flora, who nodded, "Let's just sleep in the same room." ”
"Well, call me at any time for anything, go out and say Sara to them, or say high priest to them, and they will bring you to me, although everyone does not understand Chinese, but I have taught them both words."
"I'm sorry for you."
"You're welcome."
There was a soft knock on the door that Sara had shut, and the room was silent again, and Alice crouched quietly at Su Ming's feet, observing the ants crawling on the ground.
Alice was very well-behaved on this trip, never said superfluous words, just followed Su Ming silently, without causing any trouble.
Alice noticed Su Ming's gaze, raised her head, stared at Su Ming, and showed a sweet smile, Su Ming also smiled and touched Alice's head.
To be honest, he thought that with Alice, it would be very inconvenient to move, but now it seems that he is completely thinking too much, and it is not troublesome to take Alice with him, the only problem is that Alice's movement speed is relatively slow.
But this is also easy to solve, Alice's body is petite and light, and Su Ming, who has broken through the limit of her physical body once, can run wildly on Alice's back without slowing down.
"There's a fire-based ability, take that person's ability." Flora said.
"......" Su Ming was silent.
He remembered what Sylvie had said, and perhaps Sylvie was right, and his right choice in the Black Gate was to kill the children.
Although the children were innocent according to common sense, the other party threatened their lives.
And now? He was faced with a new choice, to kill that fire-type adept? Take away the opponent's ability? Or insist on their own justice and not kill each other.
Is this choice much more difficult than the previous choice in the Black Gate? The young man named Anthony didn't pose any threat to them? It's much more innocent than those children.
In fact? This situation could have been avoided by him? At first, he paid too much attention to the coordination between abilities, leaving behind water abilities and mist, and finally had to give up one of them because of the appearance of [Xia Xiaoyu's Exclusive]? Eventually causes all abilities to be reborn.
Now that you think about it? If you listen to all of the prisoners' abilities in advance and then attack them in order, you'll be able to leave the most powerful [Fire].
This was a strategic mistake on the part of Su Ming, if there was no such mistake? Then he doesn't need to worry about whether to kill or not now.
But Su Ming also knew, even if he escaped the choice this time? This same choice will come to him again and again in the future, and he will have to face it.
"Su Ming?" Flora nudged him.
"When we find out the weaknesses of the dreamman and the plaguebringer, let's do it." Su Ming said coldly.
He made a decision.
He is no longer righteous.
……
In the evening, Xia Xiaoyu came back.
Su Ming asked Xia Xiaoyu to leave with the high priest before, just to see what kind of work this so-called high priest was doing in this village, but he didn't expect that the information Xia Xiaoyu brought back was far more than he imagined.
"Great information! They're taking advantage of us! Xia Xiaoyu entered the door and said, "I don't know why, those two people communicate in private in Chinese!" ”
"Communicate in Chinese?" Su Ming frowned puzzled, "What are they using us?" ”
"These people actually want us to help them fight against the Oneiroi and the Plague Cult, and their speech is so vague that I can only understand it according to my own thoughts.
From what I heard, it felt like every god in this world was hostile to each other, and the god of plague and the god of dreams were the two most powerful gods, and there was a constant war between them.
Compared with these two big religions, the Hope Cult is only a small religion, and the other two religions are too lazy to attack them, but I think if the people of the other two religions stumble upon their existence, they should also choose to destroy them.
That's why they want us outsiders to join the Hope Sect and deal with the people of the other two sects. ”
"I see, I see!" Su Ming suddenly realized.
The question that had been bothering Su Ming before was solved, and he knew why the old man's two answers contradicted each other.
The first answer was that the old man lied because he wanted to use them as outsiders, so he felt that his actions were not considered to help them, so he counted as lying.
As for the second answer, the old man replied that he really wanted to help them, and it was also because his assistance to them could help them get rid of the pursuit of the other two cults, which was indeed a kind of help, so he didn't feel that he was lying.
These outsiders, in the eyes of the Hope Cultists, should be a relationship of mutual use.
"What else did they say?" Su Ming asked.
Xia Xiaoyu: "Other...... It seems that in addition to this village, there are other villages not far from here, but now some villages seem to have lost contact. I also said other things, but they were all in the local language, so I couldn't understand them. ”
"It's okay, there's enough information, I'm afraid those villages are also in danger, just like the treehouse village we came from." Su Ming said.
The connection between the villages, the relationship between each other, in an instant, Su Ming thought of more.
Assuming that entering here through the white mist, if it was a natural phenomenon, then outsiders should be the resources that the three major sects would compete for.
But the current situation is that both the Plague Cult and the Oneiroi Sect want to kill outsiders, and only hope that the sect will win over outsiders.
The answer is obvious, the first two sects think that they outsiders have no possibility of developing into believers at all, because they are the ones who want the sect to be drawn in from another world!
"White Mist...... It should be something created by the god of hope. Su Ming came quietly, and he also said this to Flora.
Flora and Xia Xiaoyu both showed surprised expressions, both of them fell into deep thought, and then not long after, they showed expressions of sudden realization almost at the same time.
Because Flora couldn't hear the information Xia Xiaoyu said, she could only think about a conclusion that Su Ming had reached, and after a long time, she nodded approvingly.
Indeed, that seems to make sense! The timing of that old man's appearance was too coincidental! Flora said.
"That's right, the other two sects are chasing us, and they should have tacitly turned us into enemies, if we want God to pull us in, then it will be clear." Xia Xiaoyu said.
"The cause of the white fog is the god of hope, and this white fog is still spreading, which shows that the power of the god of hope is still getting stronger." Su Ming said.
"What do the gods of this world rely on to become stronger?" Flora asked.
Su Ming glanced at the other party and said, "Didn't you hear the high priest mention the Divine Contract before?"
Look at the people we met before, all of them are yellow-skinned and malnourished, and they are willing to starve even though they are not short of food and drink. The high priest also had traces of self-harm on his arm, as if he had cut some runes on it. ”
Flora touched her chin and frowned: "It's really strange that you say that, that person also said that the extremely simple way of life is God's will. ”
"Doesn't the will of the bullshit god seem very similar to the devil?" Su Ming sneered.
Flora reacted, a chill running over her head.
Demon? Can the devil develop into such a religion that covers the whole world?!
Absorb the price of people all over the world, such a demon...... How powerful should it be?
Flora couldn't imagine that in the original world, just a demon of the level of the Chaos Demon had already given all the alliances a headache, and the three demons here actually used all the humans in this world as nutrients!
It's unbelievable!
Xia Xiaoyu, who was standing next to her, had a look of doubt on her face, Su Ming's guess was too bold, she had never heard of such a demon that established religion all over the world.
"No, that's an exaggeration." Flora couldn't believe it either.
"I feel like that's how it should be." Su Ming said.
"How strong should such a demon be?" Flora's already fair face suddenly turned pale, "We can't win!" ”
"Calm down, we're not here to kill demons, we're here to solve the White Mist incident."
"How to fix it?" Flora asked, looking up.
"I don't know yet, I have to investigate it before I can come up with a way."
……
The next day, Su Ming asked Sara about the weaknesses of the followers of the other two gods, and learned some key information.
Among the many believers under the command of the plague god, the largest number are the infected, these infected people are relatively easy to deal with, and the organized ordinary people can completely deal with those who are infected.
But if the infected are disguised and blend into a town, it is likely to lead to the destruction of a town.
However, the prevention and control of the infected person is also very simple, as long as people are on alert in real time, kill the infected person from a long distance before the infected person gets close, and finally burn it with flames.
Trickier than the infected are two other more common high-ranking cultists, known as the Plaguebringers and the Corrupt.
These two creatures are almost invincible, and they are difficult to fight with manpower, the former manipulating thousands of poisonous insects to harvest life, while the latter, directly devouring living creatures.
