Chapter 12: Mechanical Prosthetics

Although he was a little flustered in his heart, Chen Fan still tried his best to maintain his composure.

He raised his head and stared unsquintingly at the strong man standing in front of him, a head above him.

"Not bad."

The strong man's eyes showed a little surprise, and the scorn on his face also decreased a lot: "I originally thought that the Chosen One were all cowards who bullied the weak and feared the hard. ”

"I didn't expect there to be someone like you in this batch of Chosen Ones, it's interesting......"

"Don't worry, I won't do anything to you."

The strong man laughed, and at the same time stretched out his hand and patted Chen Fan's shoulder without respect: "After all, we are the chosen ones, and we ordinary people still have to be respectful." ”

In the next second, the smile on his face quickly converged, and at the same time, he leaned down and put his head in front of Chen Fan.

"Boy."

"You are the chosen one, I will sell you a face today."

"But don't forget, in a month it will be the Chosen Ceremony, and then you will go to the Kingdom of God to serve the gods."

"Those Chosen ones have never returned from the kingdom of God before!"

"You can protect them for a while, but you can't protect them for a lifetime!!"

After speaking, with a somewhat disdainful sneer on his face, the strong man squeezed Chen Fan aside and swaggered out of the room.

Looking at the back of the strong man leaving, Chen Fan's face became ugly.

From the few words of this strong man, he could already determine that the information recorded in the original owner's notes was basically true!

There is no doubt that this directly shattered the only little hope in his heart!!

……

"Lord, thank your messenger for your help......"

The voice of a middle-aged woman came from the statue behind him.

After perceiving Chen Fan's gaze, the middle-aged woman carefully stood up from the futon and thanked Chen Fan: "My lord, thank you for ......"

"He didn't do anything substantial, thank him for what?"

A cold female voice suddenly sounded, interrupting the middle-aged woman's unfinished words: "Don't forget, delaying for another month means that you will have to pay an extra month of interest!" ”

"When the time comes, he's going to turn around and serve the gods, what are you going to do?"

"Are you really going to transfer Xiaowen's arm to those mice?"

Hearing this, Chen Fan couldn't help but be stunned.

Leaving him aside helped him?!

"Xu Huai!" The middle-aged woman glanced at Chen Fan quickly, and whispered with an anxious face, "How can you talk to Lord Chosen One like this?" ”

"You ......"

Before he finished speaking, Xu Huai got up directly and left the room.

The moment he passed by Chen Fan's side, Xu Huai snorted coldly angrily.

Looking at the figure that quickly disappeared into the corridor, Chen Fan shook his head with a wry smile.

As the original owner recorded in his notes, Xu Huai was not like other neighbors, and she even hated Chen Fan, who was the chosen one.

At the same time, the chatter of the group of neighbors who joined in the fun came from outside the door.

The content of the discussion can be imagined, it is nothing more than that Xu Huai's behavior is a great disrespect to the gods.

Chen Fan didn't want to care about these words, but a sentence in the discussion quickly caught his attention: "This Xu Huai, it's okay to throw the idol on the ground usually, but I didn't expect to have such an attitude towards the Chosen One now......"

Thinking of the statue he had seen earlier that was placed on the ground at random, Chen Fan's face became solemn.

It's understandable that he has a poor attitude towards him, after all, he is not money, and he can be loved by everyone.

But if the attitude towards the gods is the same......

Then it's worth scrutinizing!

In an instant, Chen Fan had already made a decision in his heart.

I have to find a way to get in touch with Xu Huai!

Perhaps, she knows something about the truth of this world!

Seeing the strange look on Chen Fan's face, the middle-aged woman who had a misunderstanding hurriedly spoke, trying to defend Xu Huai:

"My lord, don't take it to heart, Xu Huai has always been like this......"

Chen Fan smiled and waved his hand, interrupting the middle-aged woman's words: "Aunt Shen, let's not talk about Sister Huai, let's talk about you, what's going on?" ”

As he spoke, Chen Fan set his eyes on the little boy next to him whose eyes were still red.

To be more precise, it was the little boy's mechanical prosthetic limb that was far more dexterous than Chen Fan knew!

The middle-aged woman let out a long sigh, reached out and took the little boy into her arms, and explained in a gloomy whisper.

"It all started last year......

"Xiaowen, this kid, has had a problem with his right hand since he was a child, and you should know it."

Chen Fan didn't speak, just nodded silently.

"For the past few years, I have been praying to the Lord in church that the Lord will one day send down miracles, but ...... The Lord has not responded to my request. ”

"Until last year!"

"After a prayer, a church deacon came to me."

The middle-aged woman had a hopeful smile on her face: "He told me that the Lord was moved by my sincerity, and the Lord was willing to send down a miracle to help Xiaowen restore his disabled right hand." ”

Hearing this, Chen Fan's face suddenly changed.

The mechanical prosthetic is indeed inseparable from the so-called gods!

This means......

[It is already possible to make a preliminary judgment, the god worshiped by this deformed civilization is most likely a scientific and technological civilization that has mastered more advanced technology. 】

Yi's voice sounded in Chen Fan's mind: [Interfering with the development process of low-level civilization without authorization, and at the same time enslaving low-level civilization individuals with theology, is a serious violation of the law in the People's Federation! ] 】

Unlike the usual voice with a bit of laughter, this time, One's electronic synthesized sound is full of seriousness.

[Chen Fan, find an opportunity to contact the mechanical prosthetic leg in the little boy's hand, this machine needs to make a simple estimate of the technical level of this scientific and technological civilization. 】

Chen Fan responded to Yi's request in his heart, and once again set his eyes on the finely made mechanical prosthesis.

The middle-aged woman who was immersed in the memories did not notice Chen Fan's strange behavior, and she continued to whisper: "It's just ...... The deacon told me that the church needed me to donate 10,000 gold coins for free as a way to prove my loyalty to the Lord. ”

"I couldn't get so many gold coins for a while, and after several patchwork, there were still 2,139 gold coins missing."

"Seeing that the day of the deacon's blessing was getting closer and closer, I had no choice but to take the risk and borrow the last money from them."

"Borrowing money requires collateral, and I can't get the collateral they want."

"Just when I was desperate, Gao Li came to me and said that he could use the God-given things that Xiaowen got later as collateral."

The middle-aged woman seemed to think of something, and added again: "Oh yes, Gao Li is the one who came to collect the debt just now." ”

Chen Fan's eyes suddenly showed a look of enlightenment.

Although the middle-aged woman didn't elaborate, he could already guess a few points about the subsequent development of the incident at this time with the experience of his previous life.

It's nothing more than too late to repay the debt, which leads to more and more interest, and finally causes this bitter fruit.

According to what Gao Li said before leaving, there are no relevant laws and regulations in this world to prohibit these illegal private loans, on the contrary, the church will even guarantee these loans.

Coupled with the fact that the "validity period" of the Chosen One is only one month, the whole thing has almost become a dead knot!

It's just that......

In Chen Fan's view, there seems to be a huge problem hidden in this matter.
