Doomsday courtyard begins to survive by planting pea shooters

The interrogation lasted for 12 rounds.

And the interrogated subjects in these 12 rounds, without exception, [burned] themselves, turning into a pile of charred black on the interrogation chair.

However, this does not mean that Xiao Jian and his team's interrogation did not go smoothly.

On the contrary, as they gained more experience and understood the other party's situation more and more deeply, Xiao Jian's timing of being exposed had been greatly delayed.

With each additional round, Xiao Jian could obtain more intelligence and information, and he became more handy when fooling the next Paladin.

So after the twelfth round of interrogation, Xiao Jian and his team had obtained enough intelligence, and it was difficult to obtain more information by deception - after all, there were some more important secrets, and as long as Xiao Jian and his team touched on them, the other party would be alert and quickly see through Xiao Jian's disguise.

Then?

Then it was [burned].

So, after the twelfth Paladin turned into black ash unwillingly on the chair, everyone agreed that it was time to pause.

"It's so strange..." Xiao Jian poked the charred marks on the ground with his toes, "Why is this happening?"

"They clearly don't have the [Faith] attribute, so it's impossible for them to establish a faith link with the corresponding gods!"

Xiao Jian's face was full of confusion.

As a god with the [True God] attribute, Xiao Jian's grasp of faith and faith links comes from instinct, and there is no misunderstanding when reading the instructions.

So, these non-believers can borrow the power of their gods at any time, and even use their lives as sacrifices to exchange for a moment of strengthening from the "Sikamoya Hela".

"You still didn't succeed?" Shao Youxian asked.

"No." Xiao Jian shook his head, "His faith link... is a bit weird."

Shao Youxian asked about intercepting the faith link.

Xiao Jian had felt that kind of faith link before, and felt that he had the ability to cut it off. But at that time, he was afraid of directly triggering the God War, so he didn't intercept it for the sake of caution.

However, as more and more Paladins [Burn] appeared, Xiao Jian learned more and more about the strange "faith link" - he always felt that it would not be too dangerous to reach out and stop it.

So, after discussing with everyone, Xiao Jian was ready to intercept it.

Of course, when Xiao Jian intercepted the faith link for the first time, he was still very cautious.

Except for the police officer pretending to be the chief judge, only Zhang Weidong stood in the interrogation room, and everyone else retreated to the fortress town, including the soldiers guarding the defense tower around!

In this case, if the God War was really triggered, Xiao Jian only needed to open the field in time, and then throw Zhang Weidong and Officer Liu into the courtyard to clear the battlefield.

After such thorough preparation, when the sixth Paladin activated [Burn] and finally burned to dust, Xiao Jian immediately took action.

It was a pity that he did not succeed.

Perhaps, although it felt that the faith link was very thin and weak, it could be easily broken by a light wave of the hand like a spider silk.

However, when Xiao Jian really "reached out" to pull it, he found that this thing had no entity at all!

In other words, he couldn't touch the thin faith link at all!

After that, Xiao Jian's experiment gradually became wild... But the problem was that he couldn't touch the thin faith link no matter how hard he tried.

Even under the observation of researchers such as Shao Youxian, Xiao Jian and his team still got nothing, and couldn't even find the reason.

The faith link that clearly existed seemed like a ghost, "visible" but not touchable.

"Is it related to the miniature God's descent?" Shao Youxian asked tentatively.

After all possibilities have been tested, the only possibility left is this one.

"It's very likely."

Xiao Jian frowned.

As Xiao Jian and Shao Youxian fell silent, the entire monitoring room also fell silent.

Suddenly, a burst of hurried footsteps came from outside.

"Report! The results are out."

A researcher ran over breathlessly, holding a stack of documents in his hand.

"Read it." Shao Youxian ordered habitually.

"No, don't read it... Just tell me the result. We don't understand the specifics, so you can go and see it yourself later." Xiao Jian hurriedly stopped him.

If Xiao Jian stopped it too late, if it was read out, except for the researchers present who would be happy to do it, it would be like a tight hoop for others.

"Oh..." The researcher seemed to be a little uncomfortable, but he quickly adjusted and told everyone the result directly: "After DNA comparison, although it is a bit far from our family line, and even not close to the European and American family line, it is certain that they are 100% purebred humans."

"Uh, let me see it." Shao Youxian couldn't wait to take the document, and then flipped through it.

"The paternal line is... the maternal line... the maternal line I haven't seen before." Shao Youxian frowned slightly, "Strange..."

"What?" Xiao Jian asked.

Originally, after confirming that the other party was human, Xiao Jian was ready to use some other means-such as the storm of faith to try to brainwash the other party, and then explore more mysteries.

After all, the other party's basic attributes as a human being are much higher than those of Xiao Jian and other earthlings. This seems a bit wrong no matter how you look at it.

After this period of accumulation, Xiao Jian has basically determined that the basic attributes of the same ethnic group should be certain.

For example, although the black-haired brawny man looks extremely strong, before strengthening, his attack, defense, blood and movement speed attributes are exactly the same as those of Shao Youxian, who looks very weak.

And since the DNA test confirms that the other party is also a human being, then the basic attributes of the other party before being strengthened should be similar to those of Shao Youxian and other researchers!

But now comes the problem. Based on the information obtained from previous interrogations, Xiao Jian has determined that these paladins have not used any attribute cards at all.

In other words, their current attributes that far exceed those of ordinary people are the template attributes of their ethnic group.

This once again goes against Xiao Jian's "common sense"...

Yes, again.

Ever since Fortress Town encountered this giant continent, Xiao Jian's common sense had been broken again and again.

What are the characteristics of the [container], what kind of "miniature god descends"...

Compared with the previous two, the slightly higher template attributes seem to be nothing?

"I found out that their paternal genes have Viking ancestry... It seems that by some chance, they traveled to other worlds and then sowed the seeds and spread the branches."

Shao You first looked up from between the tablet and the folder.

"How old is it?" Xiao Jian asked.

"It's not far, not even 5,000 years." Shao Youxian said with certainty.

"...Oh, it's not that far away." Xiao Jian clicked his tongue.

"It's not that far indeed. From an evolutionary perspective, 5,000 years is just the blink of an eye, and there's not even reproductive isolation." Shao You spread his hands.

"Okay... OK." Xiao Jian also leaned over and took a look, and found that it was densely packed with all kinds of letters and numbers, and they were in groups of several, and they looked like assembly code. The same thing makes people have two heads.

I really don’t know how Shao Youxian and the others found clues from these messy and seemingly irregular numbers and letters.

"The time traveler from five thousand years ago... tsk tsk."

If it were in the pre-apocalyptic era, if someone said this to Xiao Jian, he would not even bother to listen.

But in this post-apocalyptic era, more magical things have happened, and time travel has become "normal".

"Ordinary humans and unbelievers can activate the link of faith and bring about a mini-god descending..." Shao Youxian murmured to himself, "There must be a hidden thread connecting all of this! It's just that we haven't thought of it yet!"

"Yes, yes, there is only one truth, right?" Xiao Jian said angrily. This friend Shao was almost stunned. Anyway, he couldn't see anything among these scattered "clues" that could string them together. .

"You guys can discuss it slowly... Pay attention to safety. Don't let any problems arise in the prisons of the three awakened ones. I'm going to pick up a knight to brainwash..."

After Xiao Jian finished speaking, he waved his hand and left the monitoring room.

but……

"...Can they really be worn together?"

Xiao Jian frowned.

If so, what would it be?

After racking his brains for a long time, Xiao Jian felt a little lack of oxygen...

"Forget it, never mind it."

Xiao Jian re-disguised himself as a white-robed "priest", and with familiarity, he fooled the paladin into a daze, and finally followed him obediently out of the prison.

…

Windmill World.

The strong black-haired man had already prepared several people. After Xiao Jian led the confused paladin here, he immediately surrounded him and began to "recite sutras."

"This, this is another 'secret realm'!? Oh my God... Lord Kuhn! You can actually take me directly to another 'secret realm'!?"

"Are you...are you already going to take that step?"

The paladin paid no attention to the "idiots" chanting sutras around him, but stared directly at Xiao Jian with disbelief on his face.

"Well, why else could I take you to escape?" Although he didn't know what the other party was talking about, Xiao Jian admitted it directly. Anyway, the other party would definitely reveal more information in the future.

As expected, the paladin's eyes gradually turned evil as he stared at Xiao Jian:

"Lord Kuhn, as far as I know, you haven't been baptized for the third time, right!? Why, why can't you take that step without being baptized for the third time!?"

The paladin's face became increasingly sinister, and he asked in a gloomy tone, almost roaring: "Have you betrayed the great will!?"

"Of course not." Xiao Jian denied it, but this was just his instinct. His mind was completely attracted by the word "three baptisms"!

According to the paladin's subtext, after the third baptism one should "take that step."

According to the classification of awakened people, after the awakened person grows to a certain level, he will become a person "near a god" - the most typical one is Zhang Weidong, the "door god".

For humans, this is a huge increase in attributes, and will eventually approach the attributes of BOSS-level monsters.

Of course, it is incomparable to the dozens of attacks and thousands of health points that the monsters can attack at every turn, but this is already a historic step from human to inhuman.

Therefore, humans at this stage are called "near gods".

After the "third baptism" it is possible to "close to God", so under this reference, Xiao Jian can work backwards to the "second baptism".

If nothing unexpected happens, after experiencing the "second baptism", ordinary people will become awakened.

Then, going back to the past, what about people who experienced the "first baptism"?

Not awakened, but much stronger than ordinary people?

Is this why the basic template attributes of these paladins are much higher than ordinary humans?

"Damn Shao Youxian actually guessed it right! It really connects..."

Xiao Jian muttered to himself.

Micro God's descent, faith link, one, two or three baptisms...

This really connects!

Although I don't know what strange changes will occur after the baptism, at least Xiao Jian is 90% sure that the faith link, self-sacrifice and micro God's descent are all closely related to this baptism!

"What are you talking about!? You betrayed God! You betrayed the great will!!" The paladin cursed, "You are so despicable in order to get power, and you actually have the mind to connect what kind of things..."

"You..."

"..."

Xiao Jian raised his head and looked at the paladin who was losing weight with interest.

Ten fanatics have already stood around him.

Their prayers have begun to stir up waves, and the prototype of the storm of faith is about to take shape.

Back then, at this stage, Baimao knelt directly, and soon he was brainwashed into another person under the tide of faith.

But the faith of the paladin in front of him seemed very firm, so that this storm that just had some waves could not affect him.

"I do believe in other gods, the great cat god, I... cough cough, it's the crow god, I..."

Xiao Jian actually didn't know any prayers at all, and now he was learning the words of other fanatics first.

When Xiao Jian also prayed, those fanatics obviously worked harder, and the storm of faith reached its climax in the blink of an eye!

The huge tide tore at the Paladin's will, turning his soul into a candle in the wind...

"...You, you damn, damn blasphemer! What on earth are you doing!"

The Paladin's legs softened and he knelt on the ground, his face twisted, as if he was enduring some great pain.

Seeing that the storm of faith had formed, Xiao Jian stopped reciting the prayers and pulled a chair over, silently watching the Paladin's reaction.

"No...no! Get out of my head! Get out of my head! Get out!"

"Hmm?"

Xiao Jian raised his eyebrows-the Paladin's language system had begun to loosen, and his words even began to mix with English!

But...

"Bang!"

The Paladin exploded.

It exploded in the physical sense.

It exploded into ashes all over the sky...

Then, the channel that was either God's descent or the faith link opened again, swallowing something that the Paladin had extracted.

Then, the faith link closed, as if it had never been there.

"..."

Xiao Jian looked at the flying ash and felt that the other party's reaction was a bit too mechanical.

Just like... a computer executing a fixed program.

...
