Chapter 232 Brainwashing Storm
He was still sighing after Xiao Jian brought Baimao to the windmill world without windmills.
Even in peaceful times, Zhang Weidong was definitely a hero, handling such complex problems with ease.
It was obviously very complicated and required a lot of words to explain, but in the end, it was handled easily.
And it not only dispelled everyone's doubts, but also made the new immigrants deepen their trust in the original leadership of Fortress Town.
Xiao Jian reviewed it in his mind for a long time and found that the most critical turning point occurred after the appearance of that instrument.
When researchers used it to provide convincing data, the point of the conflict changed from people's crisis of trust in the leadership of Fortress Town to their concern for their own safety.
People are often like this. When it does not affect themselves, emotions tend to dominate the opinions of most people.
After all, asking the leadership of Fortress Town to save the little zombie doesn't cost you anything. In addition, people are naturally led to the weak side, so if this emotion is not good, it can easily explode into a more acute conflict.
But when the problem is transformed into the fact that you have to pay a price and take risks to save zombies, people's thinking patterns will immediately change.
That's what it means to worry about things that have nothing to do with you...
But if it concerns oneself, it would be a real-life version of the "I really have a cow" plot.
"Sure enough, professional matters should be left to professionals..."
Xiao Jian sighed and threw Baimao on the roof.
"What kind of place is this!? You...what are you!? Where is the god named Xiao?"
Bai Mao looked at the raven standing on the wooden frame warily... The sudden changes around him made him a little panicked.
For Bai Mao, he only felt his eyes darken and then light up, and the person had already appeared on a high rock building...
Xiao Jian's operation is actually quite complicated - first, he transmits Baimao to Nanmu space through the faith link.
After entering the Nanmu space, Bai Mao was just like Shao Youxian, sluggish and completely unconscious.
At this time, Xiao Jian took back his clone and used [Forged Body] on the black-haired man in the "Windmill World".
Finally, through the faith link between the main body and the clone, Bai Mao is teleported to the rooftop of the tall building.
In "Windmill World", Xiao Jian's clone must of course exist in the form of a raven... but Baimao didn't know this, so it looked more like a weird raven, which made him a little panicked.
"..."
Xiao Jian ignored the white hair on the ground and directly called the black-haired man over through the faith link.
"See Crow God."
The strong black-haired man glanced at the white hair on the ground, then saluted the raven.
This is a simple etiquette specially implemented by Xiao Jian, otherwise these fanatical believers would fall to the ground every time they see him, which would delay things too much.
"Find a few people who are okay and let's do an experiment..."
Raven spoke.
"yes."
The black-haired burly man didn't ask Xiao Jian what kind of experiment he wanted to do, and directly called over everyone who had no work at hand.
When everyone arrived, there were almost 30 people gathered on the rooftop.
"Hey! What are you talking about!? Is there anyone who can speak Chinese! Hey! Pay attention to me!"
Baimao, who was tied to the ground, shouted, but unfortunately no one except Xiao Jian could understand what he was saying.
"Damn! Damn Zhang Jinyu! Damn Zhang Weidong... I agreed to be exiled! Why should I be sacrificed to these monsters!"
"Yes... they must be colluding with the spirits behind them!"
"Hahaha... OK, OK! Is this how you play?"
"Everyone must die..."
"Everyone is food for monsters...hahahaha..."
"They all have to die..."
"..."
The uncared-for Bai Mao gradually fell into madness...
In other words, fear overwhelmed his reason.
I was suddenly taken to a strange place and given a spirit...
The problem is that this monster called a bunch of foreign guys and wanted to experiment on him!
"Ugh... I was wrong! I want to go home!"
"Let me go! Please!"
"I am the Awakened! I am still useful!"
"don't want……"
"Wow……"
As the burly men gathered around him, Bai Mao became more and more desperate, and finally cried "Wow"!
Xiao Jian glanced at Baimao in surprise. He didn't expect that this kid would cry.
Even in the public trial before, this white hair seemed very tough, and even cursed Zhang Weidong and the members who formed the temporary court.
Even at the last moment, when Xiao Jian was taking him away, his face still had a rebellious look.
Unexpectedly, after more than ten minutes, this guy suddenly collapsed...
...Maybe this means not seeing the coffin without crying?
"Okay, stop crying!" Raven said impatiently, "I'm not trying to kill you, I'm just doing a simple faith experiment... Just relax."
"An experiment of faith?"
Bai Mao was stunned for a while and found that those sturdy men did not attack him, but just knelt around him in a circle.
"Well, I'm going to see if you can believe in me..." After the raven finished speaking, he said to the black-haired man next to him, "You can start now."
"yes."
The strong black-haired man also lowered his head and knelt beside him, and followed the others and began to pray.
What Xiao Jian wanted to do was actually to see if the power of the Storm of Faith could brainwash an unrelated person into converting.
Anyway, if Baimao is really exiled, he will probably die... Then he might as well be converted into a fanatic believer, so that he can at least still live.
As the prayers gradually synchronized, Bai Mao gradually calmed down and even changed into a more comfortable position...
Ten minutes passed.
Twenty minutes have passed...
...The storm of faith never formed.
"..."
In the small courtyard, Xiao Jian frowned.
Could it be that the previous storm of faith was just a coincidence?
Or are fanatic believers no longer able to stir up a storm of faith?
Just when Xiao Jian was thinking about this issue, Baimao had completely relaxed.
"Huh, that's it?"
"That's it?"
"You just want to brainwash your grandfather and me?"
"Tch~ Don't overestimate your capabilities!"
"..."
The raven looked at Bai Mao in disbelief - how could this guy jump so smoothly and repeatedly?
The tears on his face haven't even dried yet! As soon as he was "out of danger", he started to become arrogant... It's hard to imagine how there could be such a weird person in the world?
"Hmph, you guys can't do that! I don't even understand. How can you brainwash me?"
"You're still talking about Del, but you're talking about Germany!"
"...Are you calling me daddy? Hahaha..."
"..."
wrong!
Raven carefully observed Bai Mao's mental state and found that something was wrong with him - he spoke extremely fast. Maybe Bai Mao didn't feel it himself, but to outsiders, his words had been sped up several times!
It sounds like a very high-pitched, short "squeaking" sound...
If you don't distinguish carefully, you won't be able to hear what he is saying!
Just when Bai Mao's condition was getting worse and worse, Xiao Jian suddenly felt something in his heart - the link of faith was touched!
After nearly half an hour of praying, the storm of faith finally took shape!
Xiao Jian immediately cheered up and observed Baimao's every move.
In addition to the speed of his speech, his movements seemed to be accelerated!
From his breathing rate to the speed of his eyeballs, Bai Mao's whole body seemed to have been pressed on the fast forward button... and the strangest thing was that he didn't even know it!
Even Bai Mao himself didn't notice that what he said in the storm of faith gradually changed from Chinese to English.
This is a bit scary... After all, before he could only understand "Father" in prayers, but gradually he was able to complain in English fluently!
Changes are still going on.
At some point in time, Bai Mao's eyes suddenly became misty, and the complaints in his mouth gradually turned into intermittent prayers.
Although Xiao Jian had already paid 120% of his attention, that time still passed by in a flash.
After this time point, Baimao, who was not a follower of Xiao Jian, had the [Faith] attribute on his character card.
And what’s interesting is that what Bai Mao believes in is not a “god”, a “meow god” or any other god, but the same “crow god” as the black-haired brawny man.
This is very interesting...
"...Maybe it's related to this 'acceleration' situation? Or is it related to brainwashing? Or is it a problem with the prayers?"
Xiao Jian murmured to himself.
Xiao Jian did not witness the last storm of faith, so he did not observe any signs of this "acceleration".
However, this "acceleration" seems to only affect Bai Mao himself.
In other words, it acted on him, a non-believer.
When the Crow God [Faith] appeared on Bai Mao's character card, his speaking speed quickly returned to normal, and he even joined other fanatical believers and began to recite silent prayers together.
From the appearance of the [Faith] trait to the transformation into a fanatical believer, it only took Bai Mao less than 5 minutes.
But the storm of faith was still going on, and even though Xiao Jian had ordered them to stop, they still couldn't stop.
Xiao Jian had no choice but to bypass all the fanatic believers themselves and directly use faith to control their bodies, and then forcibly stopped the storm of faith.
"Huh...huchi..."
"call……"
When the storm of faith stopped, everyone was breathing hard, as if they had done some high-intensity physical activity.
Although this group of strong men are basically former "salvagers", such a storm of faith still consumes a lot of their physical strength.
As an awakened person who is far stronger than the "Salvators", Bai Mao's performance is even worse than those of the former "Salvators".
Maybe it was because he had been in the center of the storm, so he consumed more energy, so when the storm of faith stopped, Bai Mao lay directly on the ground and could not move.
Although they didn't faint like the black-haired burly man and the others before, the ground beneath them was soaked with a lot of sweat.
Looking at Bai Mao, who looked like he had just been fished out of the water, the raven asked: "Baimao, do you still remember what happened just now?"
"Reporting to the Crow God, I just experienced a baptism in life...I finally realized my own insignificance and cowardice, and found my destination for the rest of my life!"
"Faith! Only faith in Crow God is the meaning of my life!"
"Amen!"
Although Bai Mao was very tired, he still answered Xiao Jian's questions seriously.
However...he is speaking English now!
After the storm of faith just now, even his mother tongue changed!
Xiao Jian looked at him in silence for a while, and then suddenly asked: "Answer me in Chinese."
"..."
Bai Mao was stunned by Xiao Jian's order, as if there was a bug, and his lips trembled for a long time without uttering a single word.
But in the end, he still said in Chinese: "Yes, respected Crow God, I will obey your will."
It's just that this sentence is spoken in Chinese in an extremely blunt manner, as if it were a foreigner who has just learned Chinese for a few days.
Moreover, the pronunciation and intonation of this Chinese sentence completely copy the English habits.
"..."
After Xiao Jian was silent for a while, he ordered: "From today on, you will be Wolfe's deputy, and you must obey his orders at ordinary times."
"yes."
Bai Mao replied respectfully, no longer as arrogant as before.
"Untie him and take him down to rest...all of you, go down and rest."
"yes!"
After everyone responded in unison, they retreated with Bai Mao.
Xiao Jian carefully observed Bai Mao and found that his mind was still normal and his speaking voice was exactly the same as before.
It can be said that while all the biological characteristics of Bai Mao remain unchanged, he seems to be a completely different person on the inside.
It's like...the system has been reinstalled.
Xiao Jian simply parked the raven directly on the top floor and continued to observe Baimao and all the fanatical believers.
However, everything about Bai Mao is so normal...
It was so normal that Xiao Jian began to wonder if the arrogant, domineering and energetic young man jumping around was his delusion.
Is the brainwashing effect of Storm of Faith so terrifying?
…
Fortress Town, on the other hand.
Dahuang, who was the first to come to this fragment of the world, seemed so curious about everything.
One moment I ran to the flowers to dig through the soil and catch insects, and the next moment I slipped to the farm town to curiously observe the chickens, ducks, geese, pigs and cows.
During this whole day, Rhubarb's footprints were all over the fortress town, even in the huge saltwater swamp "south" of the fortress town.
This swamp was still the sea water Xiao Jian brought from the Nanwu Fortress when the monsters attacked the city.
At the time, the man-made saltwater swamp worked well as a retardant, but now it has become a thorny problem.
Especially after it starts raining, the stagnant puddles are replenished, making the swamp even more difficult to clear.
But it's not without its benefits - at least the salt reserves have been greatly increased.
Dahuang wandered around the entire fortress town for a long time, and finally came to a small courtyard full of plants.
This is the hut that Xiao Jian built for Lucia, and it is also the scenery that Dahuang sees most often when he uses his monocle to "watch TV".
After seeing the scenery on "TV", Big Yellow was slightly startled, but soon it tiptoed to the window of the small house and looked inside.
