Chapter 1,221 Monitoring

When Sandora felt the space fluctuations outside, we immediately ran out excitedly. Even Lilina, who had been acting cute for half an hour and claimed to be a self-moving humanoid, no longer bothered with her "size." problem". (Baishuzhai baishuzhai.) After arriving at the door, we found that the entire village had gathered outside. Just like every time the "god" Merova appeared, the villagers gathered "unselfconsciously" and waited to pay their respects. The glory of God, their expressions are numb now, but when "God" appears, they will definitely show fanatical expressions based on conditioned reflexes and hormone control. The square is silent, but it can be expected that as soon as time comes, these brainwashed people will The most pious cheers and prayers. When we pushed the door open and went out, all the villagers' eyes immediately focused on it. It was not comfortable to be stared at by hundreds of such numb eyes. Lilina couldn't help but stick out her tongue and hugged my arm: " Boss, I’m being watched.”

I silently glanced at this "grown-up" elf girl, pinched her face and threw her away: "Pay attention, you are no longer 1.09 meters tall - I will beat you if you rub against her anymore. ah."

"I did it on purpose." Lilina didn't have any trace of girlish reserve on her face, and she even deliberately came up and rubbed her chest against my arm. "After being a loli for two lifetimes, you don't allow me to let go occasionally." Release the girl’s heart!!”

Feeling the warm and soft touch on my arm, I rolled my eyes and looked at Tianmo memorizing the multiplication table. At the same time, I put the big heads of Sandora Qianqian and Lin Xue in my mind and scrolled the screen, and I suddenly felt as calm as water. After this ghost girl's height increased by 60 centimeters, her combat power has skyrocketed. She used to be just a ghost, but now she's almost a fairy. I don't know if I should remind her that there are two people who haven't grown in thousands of years behind her. Explosive—but not before speaking out. A beam of light hanging from the sky interrupted our fuss.

Accompanied by a low, musical sound, a ray of light golden light poured down from the clouds, and at the same time dispelled the cloudy weather lingering over the village - this cloudy weather was probably set in advance by those guys for the "arrival" needs. , similar to a stage set - the villagers in the open space looked up to the sky neatly like marionettes, and began to kneel down to pray devoutly. In the dazzling glow of the golden light pillar, three figures were faintly visible. Emerged high in the sky and slowly descended.

The scene seems sacred and solemn to the villagers, but we see something more. Therefore, I only felt a bit ridiculous: the beam was created by using high-altitude spotlights. When the beam was turned on, the three "gods" were sweating profusely and adjusted it in the air for a long time, because Qianqian was doing it out of mischief. Psycho used a probe to break the focusing prism of the spotlight. When they descended slowly, they relied on the anti-gravity equipment they carried, in order to resist the urge to break these equipment. Lilina and Qianqian, the two troublemakers, were almost suffering from internal injuries. And the sound effect when they arrived... was because there were two balanced resonance generators hanging on the landing gear of the spacecraft behind the clouds. Qianqian originally wanted to replace those two devices with one above the moon, but I strongly remonstrated - this is the key. It's better to save money at this critical moment. Although I feel that when the three Merova "gods" in front of me slowly fell halfway down, a high-pitched and loud "I want to make trouble" suddenly came from high altitude, which seemed quite touching...

This shows the incompleteness of Melova's skills. Perhaps they partially mastered the old empire's equipment and some enhanced modification methods for the human body, but after all they were unable to grasp the essence of the most high-end technology and mystery. They don't know how to use their mortal minds to understand those abstract truths, nor how to flexibly transform the stolen knowledge into something that suits them, so they can only do this - in essence, they just happened to grasp it. Mortals with divine weapons. If you have to say it. From a primitive person who only knows how to press the switch, he has been promoted to a junior user who knows how to adjust the power after pressing the switch.

After these three junior users came to us, Lilina and I began to look at them curiously. There are three members of Merova's response staff from "God's Country", one of whom we have met before: the man who appeared in front of Anuzha's house yesterday. Just like last time, his whole body was shrouded in a showy light, his appearance was solemn, and he looked a bit divine. The other two Merovas were also wearing white robes of a similar style, and their whole bodies were shrouded in the same vague light and shadow. It's just that the light on them is a little dim. These two people are following the man, looking like followers.

Shandora and the others were standing nearby and watching, but they were in an invisible state. The three Merova people in front of them knew nothing about it, and in front of them stood Lilina and me - they also knew nothing. , in their eyes, what they saw in front of them were just two primitive people who occasionally escaped from control. Therefore, they smiled in a way that suited their "actor roles" and said solemnly and kindly: "Two children favored by God, I am here to take you to the Kingdom of God to enjoy the eternal happiness."

I thought for a while, wondering what reaction I should make at this time. After all, Sandora will no longer follow me. We can't count on Her Majesty the Queen's mental intervention to continue to protect us. The only thing we can rely on is this. Layers of illusory camouflage. In the eyes of the Merova people, Anuzha and Anulili should be the kind of "primitive people" who escaped from the control of brainwashing for unknown reasons. Therefore, their respect for "gods" must not be as high as that of other people, and their actions are not as good as others. Secondly, the Anuzha siblings should not have much knowledge in the eyes of the Merova people. Therefore, even if they are not so devout in their respect for the gods, they should not do anything with higher knowledge. : For example, questioning authority and challenging divine rights, so the three Merovas in front of us will think that our reaction is roughly similar to that of fringe believers who also believe in gods, but are not religious enough and have many minor problems. As long as we lock in this action The goal is that before arriving at the Kingdom of God, he and Lilina should not be exposed. After thinking about this, I cleared my throat and showed a solemn expression that I thought was almost reasonable...

"Is the Kingdom of God far away? Are there any stops on the way? Is there food on the way? Are we flying there?"

Lilina suddenly jumped out and asked a lot of questions, and I was instantly confused... My own plan... My own considerations... My far-sighted and well-thought-out strategy... It's so damn hard to let this bastard instantly It collapsed...

"?" The three Merova people stared at Lilina in stunned silence. The solemn expression on their faces suddenly collapsed. They probably had never seen such an out-of-touch native in their lives, but what was unexpected was that. They didn't show any pretense at all, they just showed a disdainful smile - although this smile was fleeting. The Merova people put on that kind face again and said softly: "Don't worry, the road to the Kingdom of God is not boring. Soon, you will enjoy happiness forever. Come, follow me on this light , let the glory of God take you to that holy land, children."

Lilina chattered with me. He grabbed my arm and followed the three Merovas into the beam. When we rose into the sky under the influence of the anti-gravity field, uniform cheers came from all directions, as if those numb The villagers really felt heartfelt joy. I looked down and saw Sandora and the two men waving goodbye to me vigorously. Viska was also waving two brightly colored fur balls in her hands, which she probably learned from watching TV. Qian Qian and Miss Lin were making faces at me, and finally I read four words from the latter's mouth: "Have a nice trip."

The numb and reveling crowd around him, his dearest friends bidding farewell to him, and the star of God whose situation is unclear and whose future is unpredictable... Thinking of this, I can't help but feel filled with emotion. Why is this combination of scenes so unlucky?

"Boss, look." Lilina touched my arm lightly and said in the mental connection, "Actually, you don't have to worry about saying the wrong thing and arousing the other party's suspicion. In fact, as long as you don't say something too out of line. They don't care at all. I think too much. I've seen too many of these pseudo-god pagans with inflated psychology and no real meaning. They only have the arrogance and arrogance of "they are gods" in their minds, and they don't even bother to seriously think about things related to their own people. Look. It looks very powerful. But in fact, as long as they master this weakness, they can easily deceive them."

I often complain about Lilina. But at this time, I have to admit that in some respects, this one-meter-zero... well, this elf girl is indeed a genius at heart. She understands all things related to gods, whether they are true gods or false gods. Clear as day.

Just like that, we ascended to the clouds in this painful light beam and anti-gravity environment. As long as Lilina and I stayed nearby, the three Merovans didn't even bother to turn their eyes to look at us, until Finally, one of them turned around with the kind smile that he had just put on his face: "Next, we will be sent to the holy boat by the power of God. You don't need to be nervous."

As soon as I had time to nod, I felt the space around me distort. After a brief dizziness, I and Lilina had been transferred to a strange place.

I quickly scanned the surrounding environment and saw a slightly familiar high-tech style: a cabin made of alloy, flashing blue indicator lights, and strange-looking cabin equipment. These things have a special style, but you can still vaguely see the structure of Xiling equipment. This should be one of the results of the Melova people's own technology under the long-term influence of the empire. Obviously, we have been transferred to a Merova spacecraft, and the crew cabin that I and Lilina are in is not very spacious - the Merova people don't seem to intend to be captured by them. What kind of comfortable environment does the slave race provide? Or maybe they think that such an environment is enough. Those "crude" slave races are grateful and shocked. Well, in a way, this is not bad.

In my ears, I can hear the very faint buzzing of equipment and the beeping of some kind of automatic device. I am very familiar with this environment, but due to the need to disguise, I must not be too calm now. I felt comfortable, so I tried my best to mobilize my acting skills, planning to play the role of a surprising primitive man. However, before I could move, Lilina rolled her eyes, foamed at the mouth, and lay on the ground with a bang: This girl turned over before For a moment, I saw her quickly throwing two calcium tablets into her mouth...

Me: "..." I overreacted! !

"What's wrong with her?!" Even the leading Merova man was stunned. What he saw today was definitely the most bizarre duo he had ever come into contact with since taking office. This was very pitiful. I shrugged, pretending to be panicked and bent down to whip Lilina up: "Maybe it was dizziness... I was really dizzy just now..."

"Aren't you used to teleportation?" The "Saint" of Merova resumed his mask-like and precise expression of kindness, "You will have this reaction when you are led by the power of God for the first time, so you can take a rest here. It's very cool. Hurry, the Kingdom of God is here. My child, this must be a very pleasant journey."

After saying these words, as if he no longer wanted to stay with us any longer, he led his two followers and left the cabin quickly, without even adding a few more solemn scenes of treasure and prime minister for the sake of realistic acting. I have to say that at the end of this scene, the man in front of me was a little too hasty. When the cabin door closed, Lilina stood up straight and licked the powder of calcium tablets into her mouth. He sneered disdainfully: "It seems that the acting ends here. From here on, the captured slaves will break away from the stage of the 'theocratic age' that was set up. The next time these three show up, it will definitely be another one." Such an expression. You are so unprofessional. I have never been so impatient when I was preaching..."

I glanced at Lilina silently. When she was in loli form, she said these words to give people the impression of a naughty girl acting cute and coquettish. But now that she is in girl form, she gives me the impression of a girl who has been completely crooked since she was six years old...

Melova's starship should use the same driving method as the Empire. Stepless vector propulsion is combined with quasi-coordinate drive. Therefore, this kind of starship will not produce any acceleration or inertia during operation, and we will not feel the spacecraft. Have you already set off? So I released the detection device that I had prepared. Sandora gave this thing to herself when it was released. It is about the size of a thumb and looks like an ordinary probe, but what it is best at is covert operations and intelligence collection. This silver-white spindle-shaped gadget flew out and landed directly on the wall of the cabin, and then quickly merged with the latter. It "seeped" in like water seeping into a sponge. After a while, the general situation of the entire starship was exposed to us - it was a small and medium-sized warship with a low level of alertness, and its central system did not The ability to discover external penetration.

The ship has now left that star system. We are quickly heading towards the home planet of the Merova people: a place they proudly named the Kingdom of Gods. It seems that the only mission of this spaceship is to bring back two runaway slaves. The Merova people's caution and thoroughness in this regard have almost reached the level of late-stage obsessive-compulsive disorder: they are afraid that one of their slaves will be disobedient. . It must be said that this is the most common psychological problem for traitors: they themselves start from betrayal. Therefore, they fear betrayal more than anyone else. Traitors will not trust any race under their control because they are afraid that one day they will suffer the same fate as their old masters.

I monitored the communication in the starship command hall. There were many Merova soldiers operating the spacecraft, and the three "saints" had changed back to ordinary uniforms and were chatting in the officer's seat. The one who was talking was the leader. Man: "No matter how many times I see it, the expressions on the faces of those primitive people are always so interesting. They are very pious to the gods."

"Inevitable, who made us gods?" Another person said, "So those ungodly mortals must be found out and punished. Speaking of which, it is said that ungodly natives are better than pious natives during the extraction process. Is the probability of failure higher?”

"Don't ask if you shouldn't ask, it's confidential."

"Oh, I just said it casually. Speaking of which, those two natives are really disgusting. They are as ignorant as bedbugs. They are so careless in front of God and talk to us so much - they really think they have Isn’t this qualified?”

"Don't mention it, I'm not disgusted to death. That female native still talked to the commander so relaxedly... blah. But having said that, she is quite beautiful, which is rare among natives."

"...be careful, the natives are a despicable species, they are animals, they just happen to look like humans, do you understand?"

"I know, I know the taboo. But having said that, have you heard the rumors? The great God Emperor has mastered more powerful power. It is said that in the next step, all the lower gods will also be promoted!"

"Praise the true god Barian! I've heard it too, maybe I should build a temple for myself, and then raise hundreds of thousands more mortals - we all deserve such standards!"

What followed were worthless conversations. These Merovas began to daydream about the days of their gods, and discussed heatedly about "raising" more mortals, as well as exchanging their experiences of "divine punishment" on their mortals. . They are all disgusting remarks. The more I understand Sister Bing and her group of real gods, the more I feel sick to my stomach when I hear the words of these people - they regard gods as a means of pleasure and treat mortals completely. Seeing them as an inferior race that is completely different from themselves, they have never thought about the so-called connection between power, responsibility and obligation. I felt upset and felt that there was no more valuable information, so I allowed the probe to move freely while I and Lilina quietly waited for the spacecraft to arrive.

At the same time, I also began to think about two points, which are the only potentially valuable conversations I just heard:

Something was extracted from the natives, and Barian gained greater power.
