Chapter 727 Artificial God

The entire underground city-state looked extremely peaceful and peaceful, as if no one had to worry about living supplies.

Backed by the largest resource bank on earth, there is no shortage of food, water, cloth, fur, modern items, etc.

There are many people in the so-called work area who seem to be responsible for production. I guess there are industrial facilities responsible for smelting deep down.

The bishop who controls Gaia's Ark will randomly bring in a huge ore, and then give it to a group of people to cool, smelt, and process.

Periodically, the Ark will be driven to the surface and a passage above the ground will be opened to deliver supplies to the peripheral church forces on the ground.

These materials will be exchanged for daily necessities that the underground city-state needs but cannot produce.

By the way, let's ventilate this huge grotto. After all, if it is closed for a long time, it will not suffocate to death?

"That should be it. The so-called Gaia Ark, or the underground city created by Gaia's Ark, is like an underground aircraft carrier. It moves and floats periodically."

"And if we wanted to catch them in the past, we had to catch the forces supporting them on the surface, and then kill them while they were floating up."

"But they must also be extremely cautious. Every time they surface for air, they must repeatedly confirm the safety of the ground base, and test it with false joints many times."

"It can be said that without you... we wouldn't have been able to find this place."

Wu Yunmo said and patted Mo Qiong.

Wade was completely sealed from the church's memory and sent to various countries to live a normal life, as if abandoned.

This kind of people are different from those who are sent to land with purpose.

There is a slight possibility that he accidentally participated in certain events and became a peripheral person. Later, because of his kindness and talent, he spontaneously worked hard to become a member.

That's right, spontaneously, after the Gaia Church sealed their memories, they ignored them. They never contacted them or asked them to do anything.

Everything is natural, with a one-in-a-million chance of betting on a few "dark men" who will be chosen by fate to enter the Blue and White Society.

Among them, Wade is probably the luckiest one. Not only did he become a member, he also worked hard for it for twenty years. He has survived to this day and is already at the Delta level.

In order to avoid being noticed by the Blue and White Society, even the church's own people may not know who is still alive or who has actually become a member.

It's just a casual move, buried deep in the Blue and White Society.

If necessary, once the Gaia Church decides to launch a full-scale attack, it will use a containment object to stimulate those secret agents in one go.

But now that Kelon has noticed it in advance and uses Mo Qiong's positioning, it can be said that it has created an excellent initiative for Blue and White Club.

Mo Qiong shrugged and said, "But we don't allow entry to many places. Do you want to sneak in and check?"

"Don't worry, the enemy is in the open and we are in the dark. This operation must be completed in one battle and bring down the entire Gaia Church in one fell swoop. We don't know what surveillance capabilities they have yet, so we need to find out their security situation first." Wu Yun Mo said.

Everyone nodded, the public security situation is an important reference that can show the governance ability of a city-state.

Will there be crime in such a seemingly utopian place?

If so, how to capture it and how to dispose of it?

Mo Qiong said: "The big man mentioned a detail before, that is, most of the people working in the industrial area are bad people."

"What do you think they mean by bad guys?"

Gou Ye said: "Criminals? No, there should be more than that, there are also ungodly people, right? That big man was created, so he can't be a bad person."

"The meaning is very clear, because the created people have been brainwashed, so they are extremely devout and willing to die for the church."

"Then the so-called bad people refer to those who are ungodly and violate the rules of the church."

Wu Yunmo said: "There is another detail. The big man looked at our shoes before talking to us."

Mo Qiong said: "Yes, our shoes are designed strictly according to what people in the town wear. Sandals with pure leather soles should be no problem. The big man wears the same ones himself."

"This may represent status. We wear civilian styles." Catherine said.

Mr. Gou tilted his head and said, "But we didn't find any non-common people."

Mo Qiong's eyes lit up and he said: "No, there is one way, and that is not wearing shoes!"

Everyone nodded secretly. There were indeed a few people in the city who did not wear shoes, and the coolies in the work area just now also did not wear shoes.

"Fortunately we are wearing shoes, otherwise we might be treated as slaves or something like that." Mo Qiong said.

They found that most people in residential areas had nothing to do, either traveling around or chatting in the park.

Occasionally, you can see a group of people praying collectively under a certain idol.

Strangely enough, that statue is not Gaia!

"Are you sure this golden sculpture is not Gaia?" Mo Qiong asked.

"Definitely not. Gaia's body is pressed in the underwater prison. How come I don't know what she looks like?" Wu Yunmo said.

"Maybe it's what Gaia looked like in ancient times? Or is it an artistic image of a god?" Mo Qiong said.

Wu Yunmo shook his head and said: "It's absolutely impossible. First of all, Gaia likes female figures, and this sculpture depicts a man laughing. Secondly, no matter how artistically processed, do you think Gaia will hold a big light bulb?"

"Gaia is the Mother Goddess of the Earth, not the God of Light, and this big light bulb actually has threads!"

Mo Qiong took a closer look and found that it was indeed true. There were threads where the light bulb was held. It turned out to be an electric light bulb!

Since this was definitely not a statue of Gaia, who was it worshipping?

The believers of the Gaia Church actually gathered openly in the holy land to believe in other gods?

They couldn't ask, as this question would definitely expose their mistake.

So, they pretended to play and approached, and then they also learned to crawl and pray in the same way, wanting to hear what these people said.

It must be said that no one really cared about the four children playing here.

When the citizens of the city-state saw this, they just smiled slightly, and didn't even worry about the children being left without adult supervision.

Come to think of it, this underground city-state is a closed society, so there is no need to worry about human traffickers or anything like that.

If you break the law in public, you have nowhere to run or hide, and you can only be punished honestly.

Where can you run to? This is the mantle layer, can you go to the sky?

So on the surface, the social atmosphere is extremely open and harmonious, the public security is extremely good, everyone is smiling, enjoying a quiet, leisurely, slow-paced life.

Soon, based on the few words they overheard, they can infer that this city-state is a pure theocracy, and any disputes are resolved by the priest.

The priest is naturally the priest of the Gaia Church, and the strange statue he is worshipping at this moment is the so-called Gaia's subordinate god... the God of Electric Lights.

"The God of Electric Lights... Did I hear it right? How could there be such a god?" Mo Qiong said secretly.

Gou Ye was also confused. The ancient gods and demons were all natural gods. Whether it was from the ancient will of Lingdao or the battle with Gaia, they had never heard of the God of Electric Lights.

Can light bulbs become gods?

Wu Yunmo and Catherine said very seriously: "There is no such god. This must be the god created by the Gaia Church itself."

"A fictional god... But why do you want to make up a God of Electric Lights? And let the believers worship it seriously?" Gou Ye said.

Wu Yunmo was silent, he couldn't figure it out either.

Mo Qiong said: "It must be useful. You know, they say this is Gaia's subordinate god. When it comes to Gaia, it belongs to the doctrine. The people in the church are still very serious. So it is related to the sanctity of the doctrine. Praying to the electric lamp god must have some magical effect. It won't be random... I suspect that the so-called electric lamp god is a shelter."

Have you encountered a shelter so soon? Everyone did not act rashly, and kept it in mind for the time being.

Then he quietly stepped back and prepared to find a local child to ask.

After running for a while, suddenly a gust of wind blew from the side, directly lifting up Gou Ye's clothes.

"This dress is too open, walk faster, or the wind will reveal the body inside... Why do I feel that everything is exposed." Gou Ye muttered with his mental power.

"It's closed and stuffy underground. It's normal to wear like this. People here are not ashamed of being naked. I saw many children running with their buttocks naked, and adults also exposed their breasts." Wu Yunmo said.

Catherine said, "It's closed underground, where does the wind come from?"

This is a question. Gou Ye licked his fingers, wet the surface of his skin, and soon felt the weak wind direction.

Everyone chased and played, heading towards the source of the air flow.

However, after running for a while, the wind direction changed. After changing several times in a row, everyone found that the cool air was blowing out from the residents' houses.

"What? Does every family have an air conditioner?" Mo Qiong guessed.

Catherine retorted, "No air conditioner outdoor unit was found."

They gathered at a window, leaned on the window and looked inside, and a cool breeze blew in their faces.

And there was no machine in the direction of the wind outlet, but a shrine.

The statue enshrined was also extremely strange. What was even more weird than the god of electric light was that there was an air conditioner under the crotch of the statue.

"Hey, hey, hey, that's the air conditioner, right?"

"It's the air conditioner... Could it be the god of air conditioners?"

Just as everyone was surprised, a child in the house ran over with a snotty nose and shouted, "Why are you lying on my window?"

"Wow! You are so beautiful."

The child pointed at Gou Ye and snorted.

Gou Ye looked indifferent and wanted to smoke a cigarette.

Among the three of Mo Qiong, Gou Ye and Wu Yun Mo, I don't know why Gou Ye is the most beautiful.

"What's your name? My name is Andy. You are as beautiful as the starry sky. It must be carved by the gods themselves!" The little brat Andy approached Gou Ye and said.

Gou Ye said indifferently: "Where is the starry sky?"

Andy looked at the dome and said: "My mother said that the starry sky is the most beautiful creation of the gods. If one day we can see the starry sky, we can see the gods."

Gou Ye took the opportunity to ask about the god of electric lights.

Andy was surprised and said, "How stupid! The descendant of the great Gaia... How could the God of Lights not know? You are too ungrateful."

"Hahaha, I'm kidding! I'm just testing you!" Gou Ye laughed.

Seeing Gou Ye's awkward smile, Andy sniffed and said, "You look better with a straight face."

"..." Gou Ye immediately stopped smiling.

As expected, everyone knew about the God of Lights. Fortunately, I asked the child, who was naive and romantic and was easily fooled.

After asking questions and mental hints, everyone quickly learned some basic common sense.

The so-called God of Lights and God of Air Conditioning were all told by the priest, saying that they were the gods of Mother Gaia and asked them to believe in them together.

He said that everyone's faith would bring them light and suitable air.

In other words, if you pray to the idol of the god of air conditioners, the idol will operate like an air conditioner... If you pray to the idol of the god of electric lights, it will shine like an electric lamp.

It seems that those statues are machines, and their faith is energy.

The ten huge light balls on the dome are the light sources created by the energy absorbed by the various electric lamp statues in the square.

And every household has an air-conditioned idol, so the temperature can always be maintained in a closed grotto.

Mo Qiong and others looked at each other and there was no doubt that this was a contained object.

They don't believe that belief in the God of Gaia can operate in this way. This is obviously using the containment object to wrap a layer of mythological teachings and forcefully link it to Gaia.

In fact, these two so-called gods have nothing to do with Gaia Mao.

"It should be a derivative, the god of electric lights and air conditioners, all created by a certain containment object."

"The Church of Gaia has a containment object that can 'artificial gods'..."

…

p.s: Sorry.
