Chapter 16: The Truth?
Sunlight shines through the open wooden door and shines directly on the statue of the god sitting on the concrete floor.
Under the reflection of the sun, the goddess depicted by the statue becomes more solemn and sacred.
He watched silently at everyone who walked through the door, and equally stopped everyone who tried to walk through the hallway into the room.
Xu Huai didn't speak, but just looked at Chen Fan, who had just walked into the house, with vigilant eyes.
In her opinion, the statue could be considered a test.
A test that can filter out almost everyone!
Under Xu Huai's gaze, Chen Fan stepped forward without any psychological pressure, then raised his foot, and stepped over the statue placed at the door smoothly.
Perhaps because of the sequelae caused by the "capture" just now, Chen Fan's steps were slightly unsteady, and his toes even lightly touched the back of the statue.
The corners of Xu Huai's mouth twitched, and the vigilance in his eyes was mostly eliminated - it was impossible for any sober Chosen One to do such a deviant act!
Not to mention the Chosen One, even the most ordinary believer would not do such an act!
Unlike Xu Huai, who was suspicious, Chen Fan had already subconsciously looked around at this time.
Out of the "professional habits" left over from his previous life, he subconsciously wanted to obtain some basic information from his surroundings in an unfamiliar environment.
The interior of the room was quite tidy, and there was a faint fragrance in the circulating airβthe same as the one he had just smelled, but even stronger.
It can be seen that Xu Huai is not a sloppy person, and the so-called random discarding of the idol has naturally become nonsense.
The sun was shining outside, but the room was a little dim.
Chen Fan frowned, subconsciously clasped his hands together, and whispered, "Lord......"
The words of prayer were stuck in his throat before he could finish his prayer.
Unlike his own home, Xu Huai's home does not have the familiar incandescent light bulbs on the ceiling.
The whitewashed ceiling has an abrupt dark gray dimple and a little exposed wire, which is the mark of an incandescent light bulb being forcibly removed!
"Don't look, there's no light in the house."
Xu Huai's voice came from behind him: "Do you know the reason?" β
Without waiting for Chen Fan to speak, Xu Huai shook his head to himself.
"Forget it, this matter is probably still ...... for you now"
Chen Fan turned around and looked at the loneliness that flashed on Xu Huai's face, and he said as usual:
"God...... He's watching over us, right? β
β¦β¦
There was a dead silence in the room.
The creak of the breeze through the wooden windows echoed through the room.
Chen Fan looked indifferently at Xu Huai who was following behind him.
At this time, Xu Huai no longer had his previous cold attitude.
Her eyes widened suddenly, her lips opened slightly, and the word horror was written all over her pretty face.
Under Chen Fan's gaze, she subconsciously took a half step back: "You...... You ......"
"How could you ......"
Chen Fan took over the conversation, and also took the lead in his hands: "The idol is His eyes that monitor the world, and it is for this reason that you put the idol at the door to avoid His surveillance, am I right?" β
"You might be mistaken, though."
"From what I've observed, those bulbs don't have a monitoring function, they can only recognize special voice commands."
As for how you found out......
If the light bulb had a surveillance function, it is estimated that he was taken away by the church early this morning - the movement caused by the transverse teleportation last night was not small!
Chen Fan's words completely shocked Xu Huai.
She took a deep breath, calmed down the shock in her heart, and asked in a low voice:
ββ¦β¦ You, how did you find out? β
Chen Fan spread his hands: "Is it difficult?" β
"Isn't it just a matter of having a brain?"
Xu Huai's expression froze, and his mood finally calmed down because of Chen Fan's words again.
"I didn't expect that the first person to realize the problem would be a Chosen One......"
As he spoke, Xu Huai laughed self-deprecatingly.
Chen Fan's heart moved.
There is a lot of hidden information in Xu Huai's words!
Seeing that she didn't mean to explain accordingly, Chen Fan could only temporarily suppress the confusion in his heart.
"Can you elaborate on that?" Xu Huai asked again, "How did you become aware of these problems?" β
Chen Fan's face suddenly became strange.
You can't say that he's actually from another universe, so you can see that there's something wrong with this world at a glance, right?
"Ahem!"
He cleared his throat and tried to remember the bits and pieces recorded in the original owner's notes: "This is a long story......
β¦β¦
More than ten minutes later.
Chen Fan, who had a dry mouth, breathed a long sigh of relief.
Ya, I can be regarded as understanding.
If it weren't for his good memory, it is estimated that he would have been exposed this time!
Xu Huai didn't say anything, just nodded thoughtfully.
"So ......"
Chen Fan froze and asked Xu Huai, "Can you tell me the information you know?" β
"What the hell is going on in this world?"
"What is the so-called God? What about the church and the Chosen One? β
Faced with the several questions raised by Chen Fan one after another, Xu Huai slowly shook his head after hesitating:
"Sorry, no."
The expression on Chen Fan's face suddenly froze.
It's all come to this, you're telling me this?
You're kidding me!
A nameless anger that was played with rose from Chen Fan's heart.
Perhaps sensing the anger in Chen Fan's heart, Xu Huai opened his mouth to explain: "I have revealed the truth of this world to many people. β
"It's a pity that no one believed what I said."
"Actually, I can understand it."
Xu Huai smiled silently: "Sometimes the truth is too bizarre, so bizarre that no one will believe it." β
Looking at the faint sorrow in Xu Huai's eyes, Chen Fan suddenly fell silent, and the trace of anger in his heart slowly dissipated.
With a certain understanding of human nature and psychology, he can understand Xu Huai's words.
It is indeed difficult for human beings to accept information that is too far beyond their own understanding.
Normally, the brain classifies such information as false information.
But there are exceptions to everything.
Once a person has completely believed this information beyond cognition, it may lead to another consequence.
For example, the original owner of this body.
After realizing that the so-called gods were nothing more than a big lie, his faith and spirit completely collapsed.
The brutal truth is not something that anyone has the right to touch at will.
"After several failures, and even the near-loss of my life, I realized one thing."
Xu Huai said to himself: "Hearing is false, seeing is believing." β
"People always believe what they see."
Saying that, Xu Huai shook his head bitterly: "Although your knowledge of God far exceeds my expectations, ......"
"I still don't think the truth I know is acceptable to you right now."
The corners of Chen Fan's mouth couldn't help twitching.
After experiencing major changes such as crossing over in just a few dozen hours, Chen Fan didn't feel that there was anything else in this world that could affect his tenacious and abnormal worldview!
But......
Xu Huai obviously didn't think so.
After several failures, she had to be more cautious.
After a moment of silence, Xu Huai stared into Chen Fan's eyes and whispered, "Find time to go to the church to learn about the history of this city." β
"The truth is often hidden in some obscure corner."
"Although they revised all the history books, they ...... After all, there are still some loopholes. β
"From these loopholes, you may be able to have a clearer understanding of the so-called gods."
