"Steam Army?"

Gus asked suspiciously, "What is that?"

"That is a rebel army assembled in the dense water network area of ​​the south."

Grey lifted her chin slightly, her expression was quite proud, and even a little fanatical, "Gus, don't you know that Fist's rule over this world is about to end, although most of the northern towns still adhere to the ancient and backward "The Way of Iron Fist", but in the south where the water network is dense and the commerce and trade are developed, various hydraulic machinery and steam engines have long been popular. More and more people believe in the power of machinery and steam, and they even formed their own army to prepare. Fight to the death with the Fist Temple, that is the'Steam Army'!"

"This, this is impossible!"

Gus blurted out, his face pale.

Since discovering the secrets of his sister and father, Gus has been avoiding a question.

That is the conflict of belief between myself and my sister.

Anxious to hurry all the way, and being ridiculed by "Electric Demon" Lu Qingchen, the two siblings avoided talking with each other tacitly.

But now, no matter how much they deceive themselves, they cannot discriminate against their **** beliefs and disappear.

"Sister, don't be so obsessed with it, make mistakes again and again."

Gus bitterly persuaded, "The way of iron fist is the only truth in this world. The so-called'power of machinery and steam' is just a trick of the devil. With the blessing of the **** of fist, the power of the temple of fist is invincible, what? The Steam Army' is just a lie made up by those fanatical believers who want to confuse more people into depravity!"

"You were wrong, Gus."

On the issue of belief, Grey will never give in to her younger brother. She coldly said, "The facts are in front of you. Do you think that with the power of myself or my father alone, we can build such a large-scale steam experiment underground in our house." Room, did you make such sophisticated pipes, machinery, and steam balls?"

Gus was startled slightly.

He hadn't thought about this issue yet. Thinking about it carefully at this moment, it seemed really impossible.

"All the experimental instruments and equipment, as well as the polishing and assembly methods of precision machinery, including the method of preparing pure high-pressure steam, were brought from the south by the mechanical and steam religious believer that my father had chased down."

Gray explained, “From the perspective of the craftsmanship of manufacturing these things, it is obviously impossible to polish them in simple hand-crafted workshops. Instead, large-scale workshops and even factories are required. Behind the steam ball, there must be an immense force.

"As for the power of steam and mechanical power, you have personally experienced it just now-holding a chain mechanical crossbow, you can explode dozens of fierce birds in one breath. , Can't it be done anyway, right?"

Gus instantly felt that the two chained mechanical crossbows he had pinned to his waist were hot like red-hot steel, and they were about to imprint a sinful imprint on the flesh.

His face was pale, he felt that he had betrayed the **** of fist, and he had gradually fallen into the abyss without knowing it.

"not like this!"

He argued loudly, "Swords and crossbow arrows are always foreign objects. Indulging in their power will only form dependence and inertia, and gradually paralyze the limbs, weaken the body, erode the brain, and make people become slaves of tools-this It is definitely not the way of the real strong!"

"I don't know what the real way of the strong is. I only know that if there were no mechanical crossbows blessed by the devil just now, the two of us would have fallen into the cliff of ten thousand meters and we would be broken to pieces."

Gray said, "I would rather be a living, tool slave than a dead'strong man'."

"sister--"

Gus couldn't think of how to refute for a while, and there were two trends of thought in his mind constantly impacting. Suddenly he felt that what his sister said was very reasonable. He was born with no talent for practicing boxing. He blindly drilled on the iron fist, and he was a waste to death. , Maybe only the power of machinery and steam can make him reborn and reborn. Suddenly I feel that he has such a rebellious idea, which is simply inexcusable. I am really sorry for his uncle, who is a priest of the temple of boxing, and his parents. Teaching to myself since childhood.

But even his father was depraved, and he might have killed his mother indirectly. Gus couldn't figure out this account, so he could only bite the bullet and said: "Even if the steam army in the south really exists, it is a group of people. The fragile rabble, as long as the army of the Fist Temple arrives, they will definitely be defeated and wiped out!"

Grey sneered disdainfully: "Huh, don't underestimate the'power of machinery and steam'. Think about how I killed Qin Yong during the day. If the entire steam army had a mechanical crossbow and a compressed air cannon. , How many powerhouses of the Fist Temple can be used to destroy them?"

Gus grinned his neck and said, "The powerhouses of the Fist Temple are like uncles, at least a hundred times stronger than Qin Yong!"

Gray said: "Of course, there are machinery and steam weapons that are a hundred times more powerful than mine in the Steam Army. They are enough to smash the old world ruled by the Fist Temple, and deceive the so-called belief of the Fist God for thousands of years in the world, and it is broken. !"

If he is so rebellious, it should be thundered, Gus, don't talk about it, he didn't even think about it.

The young man was stunned in place as if struck by lightning, constantly trembling with anger and fear, his eyes kept coming back and forth between his sister and Lu Qingchen, as if it was the demon Lu Qingchen who lured her sister to fall.

"Brother Gus, don't look at people like this, okay?"

Lv Qingchen looked like he was hanging up high, focusing on studying the ants on the ground. However, he turned a deaf ear to the dispute between the two siblings until Gus's angry gaze made him unable to hide. Then he spread his hands and said innocently, "I repeat again, I have no relationship with the'Steam Demon', nor did I put the belief in'mechanics and the power of steam' into your sister's mind. So please, don't stare at me with such scary eyes, okay?"

"But you must know the truth."

Gus murmured, "Even if you are not a steam demon, you are also a demon from **** after all. You must know the truth of this world!"

"Uh……"

Lu Qingchen scratched his head and said, "Well, I know a thing or two."

"Then tell us, my sister and I believe in who is right and who is wrong, and what the truth of this world is like!"

Gus gritted his teeth, "Iron Fist has the power of machinery and steam, who is the truth!"

"Is this question important?"

Lu Qingchen shrugged, suddenly seemed to have discovered something very interesting, pointed to the ground, and made a fuss, "Look, ants, the two teams of ants are fighting!"

Sure enough, there were two groups of ants from different nests on the ground, and there was a fierce "war" just for a little bit of food residue.

"ant?"

Gus froze for a moment, and said angrily, "The way of iron fist, the power of machinery and steam, and the truth of this world are of course very important, at least more important than ant fights, right?"

"In your eyes, it may be so, but in my opinion, your beliefs, myths, love and hatred, entanglements of interests, loyalty and betrayal, ambition and hope, everything, are no different from fighting with ants—— After all, I am a **** and demon from a higher dimension, that's so awesome."

Lu Qingchen smiled and said, "As for the truth of this world, I advise you not to know it better, otherwise, it is impossible to change anything, which will only increase pain and trouble."
