Survival game: my plug-ins can stack up

Seeing Zhao Xun's sincere and polite attitude, the bearded uncle put on a happy smile on his face: "Okay, there are not many sensible young people like you."

Zhao Xun didn't show it on his face, but he felt a little strange in his heart.

From the tone of this bearded man, it seems that people who actively want to become believers are "sensible", but many young people are not willing to become believers, which in his eyes is an act of ignorance.

Just like believing in religion is not a matter of personal choice, but something that everyone should do.

He even thought of several scenarios that might happen next.

The bearded uncle didn’t know what Zhao Xun was thinking, so he actively introduced Zhao Xun: “Becoming a believer is actually very simple. You need someone who is already a believer to introduce you to the pastor, and then you have to sincerely express your piety. When the pastor is satisfied, he will baptize you. After the ceremony, you are a believer."

"Baptism?" Zhao Xun asked the question he was most concerned about, "Can I ask first, what is the process of baptism?"

"This is very simple," said the bearded man. "The priest drops pure water on the forehead of the baptized person, and the baptism is considered successful."

Zhao Xun nodded.

There is no need to strip naked and soak in a barrel, and it does not go to the stage of circumcision. He can accept it.

Then he showed a warm smile to the bearded man: "Aren't you a believer? Could you please help me introduce him?"

"Of course!" The bearded man agreed readily. Judging from his expression, he seemed quite happy.

He didn't hide anything, and took the initiative to say to Zhao Xun: "We believers, as long as we can introduce a new believer, we can get a reward from the Lord. So, if you let me be the introducer, I have to thank you." Woolen cloth!"

"What is the reward like?" Zhao Xun asked one more question.

"This is not fixed. Sometimes it is a sumptuous meal, sometimes it is the recovery of a sick family member, sometimes it is gold coins or gems...it all depends on the Lord's decision." The bearded man drew piously on his forehead with his fingers. Then he smiled at Zhao Xun, "You haven't become a believer yet, but you already have the idea of ​​​​recommending others. I am optimistic about you. You will definitely become the most loyal believer of the Lord!"

Zhao Xun smiled and did not deny it. He just asked, "When can you recommend me?"

He asked this, but in his mind he unconsciously recalled the actions of the bearded man just now.

Instead of making a cross on the chest, he made a circle on the forehead. It seems that the "Lord" the believer said was not the same thing as what he thought.

Although the architectural style and model here are very similar to a certain sect in reality, the actual situation should be different from the sect he thought.

"I will take you there when this morning meeting is over." After the bearded man answered, he lowered his head again and continued to murmur something piously.

Zhao Xun did not disturb him anymore. Taking advantage of this time, he carefully observed the situation in the church.

The layout here is indeed no different from that of a certain sect. At least to a layman, one will subconsciously think it is that sect at a glance.

However, even a layman, Zhao Xun, can see many differences after careful observation.

There are some unknown plaster sculptures hanging on the roof of the church. They are basically the same size but different shapes.

The shape of the sculpture is neither Jesus nor God, nor can it even be said to be a human form, but some strange-shaped things. It is difficult to use the existing animals as a reference.

Calling it a monster doesn't feel accurate, but it's hard to find other suitable adjectives.

If I have to say it, perhaps "weird" is more appropriate.

Staring at these sculptures for a long time will give people an indescribable feeling of panic in their hearts.

Even people like Zhao Xun, who had few emotions, could feel some discomfort.

He rarely experiences strong emotions such as "panic", but when faced with these sculptures, he feels a strong sense of discomfort and rejection.

These things will never appear in a normal church.

In addition, the statue of Jesus is not placed on the altar at the front.

Although Zhao Xun didn't know what the real statue of Jesus should look like, he was certain that it was definitely not this weird and twisted non-human appearance.

Perhaps the only thing this sculpture has in common with humans is that it also has a pair of eyes.

In a part that I don’t know if it could be called a “face,” two eyes looked straight ahead.

It was obviously a sculpture, but Zhao Xun felt like he was looking into those eyes.

The discomfort also became more intense.

At this time, the choir's hymn ended and the pastor came out of the pulpit.

All the believers stood up in perfect agreement, said "The Lord will bless us", and left the church in an orderly manner.

I don't know if it was because of the end of the prayer, but Zhao Xun obviously felt that the feeling of being watched disappeared.

He stood up and looked at the sculpture on the altar across the crowd.

The eyes were still looking straight ahead, but they lost the substance of their "eyes" and became just like ordinary sculptures.

But Zhao Xun was very sure that this sculpture was not simple.

"Don't worry," the bearded man beside him thought that Zhao Xun stood up because he wanted to become a believer as soon as possible. He consoled him, "The pastor is always the last one to leave the church. I will go and give it to you after all the other believers have left. Recommendations come in time.”

Zhao Xun came to his senses and nodded to the bearded man: "Okay."

Soon the church was empty, and the bearded uncle led Zhao Xun to the front.

The pastor glanced at the bearded man and then at Zhao Xun, seeming to have understood something.

There was a happy smile on his face: "John, it's not easy. It's time for you to introduce new people."

John smiled sheepishly, and then he said to the pastor: "Let me introduce to you, this is..."

Having said this, he subconsciously turned to look at Zhao Xun.

It wasn't until this moment that he remembered that he still didn't know Zhao Xun's name.

Zhao Xun smiled and introduced himself naturally: "Hello, my name is Ah Shui."

Neither the pastor nor John had any doubts about "why there is no surname" because of this name. Instead, after reciting the name "A Shui", they began to enter the formal process.

The pastor asked Zhao Xun: "Ah Shui, why do you want to become a believer in the Lord?"

Zhao Xun had long considered that the pastor might ask this question, and he answered without hesitation: "The Lord can save me, bless me, and give me peace of mind and happiness."

To express his piety, there is nothing more than expressions, gestures and words.

These disguises are not difficult for him.

After all, he is a person who pretends to be a "normal person" with an "abnormal mental state" and has lived like this for more than 20 years.

Acting is his daily life. As long as he needs it, pretending to be a certain persona is easy for him.

The pastor was obviously very satisfied with Zhao Xun's answer. He nodded and said to John: "The newcomer you recommended is very good. He has more promise than the previous ones."

Hearing this, John suddenly smiled: "Then the Lord will be very satisfied."

As long as the Lord is satisfied, the reward given to Him will be better and more abundant.

He was already looking forward to it.

The priest walked to the altar and motioned for Zhao Xun to kneel on the soft rectangular cushion: "Facing our Lord."

Zhao Xun did as he was told and knelt down facing the weird statue.

The priest took out a copper pot from the first floor of the altar and placed it close to him.

Zhao Xun looked carefully and saw that the copper jar was filled with water. The water was clear and transparent without any impurities.

Even when I got closer, I didn't smell any peculiar smell.

The priest took out a small piece of soft silk from the box on the altar and put one end of the silk into the copper jar. After the water soaked the silk, he turned to look at Zhao Xun.

"Raise your head." He said to Zhao Xun, his voice soft.

Zhao Xun raised his head and his eyes stayed on the weird statue.

The statue's eyes were still looking straight ahead, but Zhao Xun had the feeling that the statue was observing him with its peripheral vision.

He felt the substance of that "eye" again.

"Close your eyes," the priest said, taking the silk out of the copper jar.

Zhao Xun closed his eyes obediently.

Soon, the cool water touched his forehead, and the water-soaked silk touched his eyebrows three times.

There was no discomfort or any pain.

His thoughts flashed through him, and just as he was about to open his eyes, he heard the priest's voice murmuring something in his ears.

The pastor's articulation was not clear, and it was difficult for Zhao Xun to distinguish the specific words.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Xun felt an indescribable dizziness.

Not only was he unable to open his eyes, it was even difficult for him to stand up. He could only remain kneeling and looking up, like a true devout believer.

The liquid on his forehead seemed to have invaded his skin and quickly entered his brain along the bloodstream.

With the invasion of water, the dizziness becomes more serious.

Zhao Xun subconsciously wanted to use [water power] to force the water out of his body, but then he found that he could not use his special ability.

Yes, in the dream game, he cannot use special abilities before completing the main mission.

He could only use his own mental strength to resist.

Fortunately, after experiencing the last dream game, after killing more than 100,000 NPCs in about 24 hours, and after breaking through the limits and finely controlling three or four abilities at the same time, he felt that his mental strength had also increased.

At this moment, although it was difficult to resist the dizziness, Zhao Xun still resisted.

Although the dizziness became more and more intense, and some weird murmurs even sounded in his ears, he never fainted, nor was he affected by the murmurs.

This murmur was obviously not the pastor's voice, nor was it ringing in his ears, but in his head.

Moreover, he could feel that this was a hypnotic effect.

They are constantly trying to brainwash him, even if he can't understand the language, he is still affected.

Because he didn't understand the language, it was difficult for him to judge the purpose of this hypnosis.

However, with his mental strength, he was able to resist most of the effects of hypnosis.

He didn't know how long had passed - at least in Zhao Xun's opinion, it seemed like a very long few hours, before the pastor finally spoke out.

"Very good, you have passed the baptism." The pastor said with a kind smile in his voice, "Welcome to join our big family and become a believer in the Lord."

As the pastor's words fell, Zhao Xun was finally able to open his eyes.

At the same time, a familiar pop-up window popped up in front of his eyes.

[Complete the main mission: Become a believer. 】

[Congratulations to player Zhao Xun for earning 50 points and 50 hours of survival time. 】

The dizziness did not disappear, and was even getting worse, but Zhao Xun could already stand up.

It seemed that the priest's approval had lifted the restrictions on Zhao Xun's physical movement.

But the role of water liquid is still there.

Zhao Xun forced himself to say hello to the pastor and John, then quickly turned around and left.

The moment he turned his back to the two NPCs, he immediately used [water power] to forcefully peel away the water that was still trying to deeply invade his brain.

The moment the thing came out, Zhao Xun immediately felt much more relaxed, and the dizziness in his head completely disappeared.

He stared at the water floating in front of him.

The moment he came out of his brain, Zhao Xun noticed that the water was no longer completely transparent, but was faintly black.

But the black color was very light, and it quickly returned to transparent color after leaving Zhao Xun's body.

The water seemed to be struggling to escape, but Zhao Xun used [water power] to control it. It could only float in front of Zhao Xun and could not leave.

It wasn't until he walked out of the church and stood in a deserted corner that Zhao Xun raised his right hand.

In his palm, a ball of flame the size of a table tennis ball rose up.

As if sensing the danger, the shape of the water changed violently.

It's a pity that it still can't get rid of Zhao Xun's control and can only deform in place.

"It seems that you are afraid of fire." Zhao Xun raised the corners of his lips slightly, his smile was not as warm as usual, but a little more fierce.

The next second, his fireball enveloped the liquid.

Along with the "sizzling" sound, the water liquid was quickly burned clean by the fireball.

Even the faint black air that came out was chased by Zhao Xun with fireballs, and nothing was left.

Only then did Zhao Xun feel relieved.

He turned to look at the church, his eyes dark.

Thinking about it now, he could probably guess what the purpose of the hypnotic murmur in his head was.

It should be that he wants to truly become a "devout believer".

It is not difficult to determine this.

Find a random believer and see if you can extract the liquid from the brain. After extracting the liquid, whether the believer can still maintain a "pious" posture, everything will become clear.

If it is as he suspected, then every believer here will be brainwashed by this water when they are baptized.

Zhao Xun thought this in his mind, but did not put it into action immediately. He chose to check the side tasks first.

In fact, the moment the main mission is completed, the side mission appears immediately.

It's just that his condition was too bad at the time and he couldn't care about it at all, so he could only solve the current trouble first.

[Side mission: Survive until the end of the game. 】

[Tip 1: When there is a choice in this round of the game, there is no correct answer, no matter what the player chooses, it is fine. 】

[Tip 2: Every gain must come with a loss. 】(End of this chapter)
