Survival game: my plug-ins can stack up

"Yes." One of the tall and strong men nodded and replied, "I'm quite interested and just want to come and take a look."

"Me too." The short and strong man responded.

"Then what do you want to know first?" Among the two elderly believers, the old man with a mustache asked with a smile, "The sect's Bible, the great deeds of the Lord..."

Before he finished speaking, the tall and strong man interrupted: "I want to visit this church first."

"I think so too." The short, strong man answered. He looked up at the sculptures scraped off the roof with a very interested expression. "These sculptures are quite artistic. I want to appreciate them carefully."

"Sir, you are really discerning!" The old man with a mustache looked very happy, "Come on, come on, let me introduce you one by one."

The old Mediterranean man on the side also nodded repeatedly: "This gentleman is obviously destined to be with the Lord."

So, two strong men followed the two old men, listening to the introduction of the two old men, while looking at the sculptures.

When the two old men were not paying attention, the two strong men would show expressions that were difficult to express from time to time. They would even close their eyes suddenly for several seconds, then slowly open them again, or they would suddenly tremble inexplicably. .

Only when the two old men looked at the two strong men, the two strong men would stare at the sculpture intently, pretending to be particularly interested, and control their expressions and movements.

Obviously, looking at these weird sculptures made them lose a lot of sanity.

Even if there was a hypnotic effect, even if Zhao Xun added an instruction "not to be afraid of those sculptures" during hypnosis in advance, they would not be able to look directly at those sculptures all the time.

The discomfort with this weird thing is engraved in my bones, and hypnosis cannot completely offset it.

Zhao Xun followed and listened to the whole process, and had a general understanding of the origin of these sculptures.

One day, a "meteorite" fell from the sky in the small town, creating a deep crater.

The pits are not the irregularly shaped stones that everyone usually thinks of, but these strange sculptures.

Yes, these sculptures were not carved by a single person, but fell from the sky.

These sculptures look very strange. They neither look like humans nor animals, nor do they look like gods, but they don't look like ghosts either.

Many people feel a sense of fear for no reason when they see them, and even dare not look directly at them.

However, while everyone was far away from the pit, one person took the initiative to approach these sculptures.

Not only was this person not afraid of these sculptures, he even believed that the sculptures were "god's substitutes" given by God, and worshiping them would bring him blessings.

This man became the first priest.

Later, the pastor funded the establishment of this church, more than a year ago.

Under the hard work of the pastor, the sect gradually grew, with more and more believers, and finally formed the current scene.

However, compared to the number of people in the entire town, the number of believers is still too small, so every believer is working hard to spread the word to the people around him and introduce them to become new believers.

Zhao Xun believes that the first priest should be the first person to be brainwashed and hypnotized by the sculpture.

Perhaps the right time, right place, and right people made this pastor the first experimental subject.

The sect has been established for more than a year, which is not a long time.

It's not bad to be able to develop to the scale it is now.

Zhao Xun came close to the tall and strong man and whispered a few words in a low voice.

The tall, strong man who had been given instructions in advance did not show any frightened expression on his face. He calmly looked up and admired one of the sculptures.

After Zhao Xun finished speaking, the tall and strong man asked the two old men: "Is the first pastor the current pastor?"

The old man with a mustache shook his head: "Of course not, our pastors have changed several times."

"What about the first pastor?" the tall, strong man asked next, "was he replaced by another pastor and became an ordinary believer?"

"That shouldn't be the case." The short, strong man put forward his own opinion, "That's the first person to believe in the Lord. It also means something different to the Lord. His status must be higher than that of other believers."

"Of course, the first pastor has different meanings among all our believers, and everyone respects him." The old man with a mustache suddenly stopped when he said this.

He sighed, looking like he was hesitant to speak.

"Did something happen?" the tall, strong man asked.

The old man with a mustache turned to look at the old man Mediterranean, as if he didn't know whether he should say anything.

"Let me tell you." The old Mediterranean man took over the conversation with a deep tone, "The pastor's duty is to preach our Lord to more people and bring more believers to the Lord. The first pastor did a good job at the beginning. But as time went by, he gradually lost his original intention and even wanted to replace the Lord and become the faith of all believers."

The two strong men looked at each other, as if they had heard some fantasy event.

It's crazy that some people want to replace gods.

"Then the first pastor was driven away later?" the tall and strong man asked.

"He was rejected by the Lord and received the punishment he deserved." After the old man with a mustache finished speaking, he clenched his fist on his chest with his left hand and drew a circle on his forehead with his right hand.

Although it was not stated explicitly, Zhao Xun knew that this so-called "punishment" must be death.

As for whether the first pastor really had the ambition to replace the "Lord", or whether he died due to other reasons, only the "Lord" knows.

"You should definitely be punished." The short, strong man said with a look of indignation. "An ordinary human being actually wants to replace the Lord. This can't be called ambition. It's simply wishful thinking."

"You are right." The old Mediterranean man cast an approving look at the short and strong man. "It is precisely because of this incident that from then on, the priests will be replaced every once in a while to avoid repeating the same mistakes."

"It is a good choice not to let one person dominate the power." The tall and strong man also agreed.

The four people walked and chatted, and finally arrived in front of the altar.

"In fact, all the sculptures are the same 'Lord', which is the only belief of all our believers." said the old man with a mustache. "These sculptures look different because they show the 'Lord' from different angles." appearance."

"Although all sculptures represent the Lord, this sculpture is the most important." The old Mediterranean man looked at the sculpture on the altar with a pious look on his face, "We perform prayers or other rituals on it in the church. "

Before the old man from the Mediterranean finished speaking, the tall and strong man suddenly took out a big stone from his backpack and threw it at the sculpture.

The stone hit the sculpture, making a dull sound, and then bounced away, almost hitting the tall and strong man.

Fortunately, the tall and strong man reacted quickly and dodged.

The sculpture, which looked like an ordinary marble, was not damaged at all.

The two elderly believers were both shocked, but because of their age, they could not react quickly enough and had no time to stop him.

When the stone was bounced away, the two old men staggered and stood between the altar and the two strong men.

"What are you doing?!" The old man with a mustache glared at the tall, strong man.

"You are disrespectful to the Lord! The Lord will punish you!" The old Mediterranean man also cursed angrily.

Without saying a word, the short and strong man punched the two old men respectively. With just one punch, he knocked them both unconscious.

After almost all the things that needed to be inquired about, and confirmed by the believers themselves, the most important sculpture was the one on the altar, so according to Zhao Xun's instructions, they had to take the next step.

The short and strong man removed the rope used to tie the curtains in the church and tied the two old people tightly.

At the same time, a tall and strong man rushed to the altar, tried to pick up the sculpture and threw it to the ground.

But I found that the sculpture didn't look very big or heavy, but it couldn't be carried.

After two failed attempts, the tall and strong man gave up decisively. He picked up the copper jar and copper needle on the altar and smashed and poked at the sculpture.

Still failed.

It didn't even leave any traces on the sculpture.

When the two old men fainted, the invisible Zhao Xun walked to the church door and closed the two heavy doors.

When he walked back to the altar, the two strong men were still trying to destroy the sculpture in various ways.

But all failed.

Zhao Xun was not surprised by this.

This is not an ordinary sculpture. It is normal that ordinary methods cannot solve it.

He asked these two strong men to come over, never expecting them to actually destroy the sculpture.

His purpose is threefold.

The first purpose is to learn more about the sculpture from the two elderly believers without using hypnosis. See if learning more about the sculpture triggers the hidden quest.

Zhao Xun has participated in several morning and evening meetings in the church and has a certain understanding of the behavior of these believers.

His introducer was John, and John was the only one willing to answer his questions.

But John was not reliable. John's answers to the questions he had asked many times before were reserved.

When something happens, I will remind him again.

Although John's behavior did not cause him any harm, he seemed to just want to maintain the superiority of a "leader".

But this also means that without the use of hypnosis, it is difficult to understand the entire truth from John's mouth.

But using hypnosis to ask anything about the "Lord" consumes mental energy, so he has to start with other believers.

The problem is that he is already a believer and cannot let other believers serve as introducers, so he cannot let other believers receive the "reward of the Lord."

There is no profit to be gained, and these believers do not like to deal with new believers.

However, the situation is different if the person asking is not yet a believer.

They will be willing to introduce, lobby, and respond enthusiastically.

It’s easier to get answers to whatever you want to ask.

Unfortunately, I learned some information, but the hidden mission was not triggered.

Then you can only try attacking the sculpture to see if it will trigger a hidden mission.

But attacking at will and making noise will attract the attention of passers-by outside, so the second purpose is to find an opportunity to close the door of the church to facilitate follow-up actions.

As for the third purpose...

Zhao Xun turned his gaze and looked at the two old men who were tied up.

There was a faint black energy lingering on the two old men who fainted.

When the two strong men attacked the sculpture, traces of black energy appeared on the bodies of the two old men.

But after the two old men fainted, the black energy did not increase any more. Even if the two strong men destroyed the sculpture in various ways, the black energy of the two old people did not change significantly.

Combined with John's previous performance, it can be concluded that when a believer is sober, any form of harm or disrespect to the "Lord" will cause the believer to burst out with black energy.

But after the believer loses consciousness, the black energy that has appeared cannot be recovered, but it will not increase.

Therefore, the "Lord"'s control of all water liquids requires the support of rituals.

For example, the prayer rituals of believers allow the "Lord" to deepen the hypnosis of believers' thinking and strengthen their faith in Him.

Another example is the curse ritual. The "lord" can obtain part of the power and control the water to kill the cursed target.

But as long as it is separated from the "ritual", the "lord" cannot freely control the water for brainwashing or murder.

In the final analysis, the "master" ability is not strong enough.

In view of this situation, the current "Lord" should not be able to notify the believers in the square through water to come to the rescue.

This means that Zhao Xun has one and a half hours, which is quite enough.

Zhao Xun took off the [Chameleon's cloak] neatly, and at the same time said to the two strong men who were still trying to smash the sculpture: "Back off."

The two strong men immediately came down from the altar and ran to the two elderly believers.

It does not block Zhao Xun's performance, but it can also keep an eye on the two believers. If the believers wake up, they can be dealt with immediately.

Several thin needles turned into flames appeared in Zhao Xun's hand, and they shot toward the sculpture.

Although two strong men had just tried burning the sculpture with a lighter, it was of no use.

But Zhao Xun's flames were unusual.

When trying to destroy the sculpture with something special, the first thing he thought of was the Samadhi True Fire.

Even if this so-called "lord" is not a ghost, he may still be able to cause some damage.

The fire needle penetrated the sculpture without any hindrance, but failed to penetrate.

The sculpture did not burn, but small pits were formed where the fire needles penetrated.

Zhao Xun narrowed his eyes slightly.

This didn't trigger the hidden mission. Could it be that his guess was wrong?

Although he was a little uncertain, Zhao Xun still raised his right hand.

When his right hand was raised, a huge fireball had formed.

Regardless of whether he can trigger the hidden mission, he should try to destroy the sculpture.

This was part of the plan.

Since the fire needle can cause damage to the sculpture, it means that the Samadhi True Fire is useful.

The damage is small, probably because the attack is not powerful enough.

This time it’s a big wave...

Before Zhao Xun could throw the fireball in his hand, a pop-up window suddenly appeared in front of him.
