Chapter 54: Mechanism
Although the white-haired puppet ran away, its position has been locked by Duanmu Huai through the reconnaissance servo skull, and it stands to reason that the next step should be to kill the door in one go and completely overthrow this group of demons and monsters.
But...............
"So, why can't you act?"
In the face of Lorena's answer, Duanmu Huai was not angry at all, as long as it was a task, NPCs could toss some moths, and they were used to it.
"I'm so sorry, Knight, it's a long story.........
"It's okay, we have plenty of time."
I don't believe you can still say that you can't do it in a year?
So, Lorena was also a little embarrassed to talk about the situation to Duanmu Huai.
To put it simply......... Divisions within the church.
This goes back some time ago, when demons attacked the country, and the church naturally went into battle to destroy the demons. In the early days of the fierce fighting, many clergy of the church were also injured and lost limbs due to fighting demons. had to retreat, and the war situation at that time was quite dangerous.
But at that moment, an out-of-town man suddenly appeared, and he said that he could help those who had lost their limbs and recreate their prosthetic limbs so that they could return to the battlefield again.
At that time, the church also affirmed the man's suggestion, and after that, the clergy who had lost their hands and feet in the battle against the demons were fitted with mechanical prostheses and rejoined the battle.
I have to say that these prosthetics are indeed very powerful, and in the end, the church relied on everyone's strength to successfully repel the demons, but ......... An unimaginable crisis emerges from it.
Many of the clergy who had undergone the man's surgery and received a prosthetic leg began to convert their beliefs, believing that the best way to get close to the gods was through machinery and steel. And not just through exercise and prayer, of course, at the beginning, the church did not do anything about it, after all, in the church's view, as long as everyone still believes in the gods, then the small controversy about the understanding of the faith can be put aside for the time being.
But after that, the clergy with prosthetic limbs gathered in a side hall on the other side of the city, for unknown reasons. According to them, they want to communicate with the gods through machinery there, and the archbishop also takes a tacit attitude towards this, after all, these people have sacrificed a lot to protect the city and the people, since they want to do it, then do it.
However, after this......... Things started to get worse slowly.
The self-proclaimed "Mechanical" clergy have completely closed themselves off from associating with fellow believers, and they have begun to spread the idea that flesh is only a burden, and that you can only communicate with the gods if you surrender yourself to steel. The church was anxious about this, but there was nothing to be done. In any case, these are just some doctrinal conflicts within the church, and they can't eliminate each other because of this kind of thing. Not to mention, those Mecha monks were all heroes in previous wars, and it was impossible for the Church to start a civil war rashly because of this.
So, the current situation is that the Church and the Mechanic each govern half of the city, and the river in between is the dividing line between the two sides, and the members of the Church on both sides will not trespass on each other's territory on a normal day. Moreover, I heard that the monks on the side of the Mechanic Sect are also serious about solving problems for the people, so the church does not plan to meddle in things.
However......... It's all based on the premise that Mechanism is a peaceful organization.
If they did create that horrific bloodthirsty puppet, and even sent them here to kill, then it would be a different story.
But because the stakes are so high, the church does not dare to act rashly.
“…………… Therefore, the Bishop only ordered everyone to be more vigilant, and she intended to negotiate with the other party............"
What good can this be?
After listening to Lorena's explanation, Duanmu Huai rolled his eyes, this place has been turned into soul fragments, which shows that something very terrible must have happened in the end, which led to the destruction of the entire city.
"Since you can't do it, let me take care of it."
"Huh? But ..............."
"As you know, the doll that appeared yesterday seems to have something to do with Ogis, and even if it weren't for you, we would have to find it down."
Speaking of this, Duanmu Huai glanced at the task prompt of the system, although he found the white-haired puppet, but he did not prompt the task to be completed at all, which means that the problem has not been solved at all. The white-haired puppet wasn't the one who really planned it all.
After everything was over, it was already late at night, and Lorena also arranged for the two of them to rest in the church room, and Duanmu Huai did not choose to sleep on the bed that seemed soft and comfortable. Instead, he sat down against the wall, and unless he returned to the space station, Duanmu Huai would definitely not come out of the power armor. Fortunately, after equipping the power armor, Duanmu Huai's body seemed to be completely integrated with the power armor, and there was a feeling that he had become a machine, and even his metabolism was not so obvious.
But......... What will it become?
Duanmu Huai raised his head and looked at the starry sky outside through the window. To be honest, since coming to this world, he has been exhausted and completing tasks everywhere. But it's all based on the impending catastrophe, and the threat of the Chaos Gods of the Subspace. He knew very well that no matter what he did on this planet, it would not have much impact on the evil gods, for them, this planet was just a playground for the evil gods.
Therefore, the enemies on this planet are actually not very powerful, and the reason why the evil gods will let these low-level monsters come over is not because they don't have high-level fighters, but because as a planet with a relatively low level of civilization itself, their level and strength are limited.
But when it comes to the vast sea of stars, Duanmu Huai has to face more than just pediatric things like Chaos Warriors, space wrecks, fallen space marines, Chaos fleets, alien invasions, and plane wars, all of which will make the current chaos on this planet look like a schoolboy-level fight.
The battle in the sea of stars is far more than the medieval level of war on this planet.
In the game, even if there are a large number of players, there will still be a lot of sacrifices and losses, and at the moment, what role can you play if you are alone here?
Duanmu Huai has been immersed in the task, just to not let himself think too much, as long as he is like in the game, mechanically take the task and complete the task, and don't think about other things so much......... However, in the middle of the night, when his spirit relaxed, this complicated feeling came to his heart again.
"Master?"
Just when Duanmu Huai was wandering outside the world, suddenly a voice sounded in his ears, and when he came back to his senses, he saw Ao Ji Si lying on his body like a kitten, with a pair of bright red eyes shining with bright brilliance, staring at Duanmu Huai.
"You don't seem to look good?"
"I'm just thinking about the future, and I'm a little worried."
"Future??"
Hearing Duanmu Huai's answer, Okis tilted her head slightly.
"That's right."
Staring at the puppet girl in front of him, Duanmu Huai stretched out his hand and gently stroked her head, and said.
"In the future, we will encounter very powerful enemies, they are so pervasive that they are almost impossible to completely eradicate, and they are so powerful that they cannot even be completely destroyed......... To be honest, sometimes when I think about it, I wonder if it was the right decision. Perhaps, I should abandon all this and find a place to die alone, and not cause all that trouble, and not care about all this........."
Duanmu Huai is not lying, with his experience, he can find a beautiful planet with no people, and then live comfortably on it until he dies of old age.
Anyway, the universe is infinite, and the confrontation with the Chaos Evil God starts in at least a few hundred years, and tens of thousands of years may not be completely over, is this necessary?
In the game, the player doesn't have to think about this because the game is always looking for things to do.
But the reality is different, when you personally travel into this world and know the truth of this world, it is really difficult to continue to make a difficult choice.
Is it a vigorous challenge to the evil gods? Or is it a comfortable choice to sink?
It's really a difficult choice for Duanmu locust.
Just as Duanmu Huai was thinking, suddenly he felt a heat on his cheeks, Duanmu Huai turned his head, and saw Okis staring at him.
"I don't know what the host was thinking......... However, I know that the master is helping me, so I want to help the master as well. I will be with the host anyway. ”
"Thank you, Ogis."
Hearing Ogis's answer, Duanmu Huai's heart was relieved, and then he closed his eyes again and entered the dream. And Ogis looked at the sleeping Duanmu Huai, thought for a moment, and then leaned into his arms.
Soon, the moonlight gradually enveloped the two figures, plunging the whole room into silence and darkness again.
