Chapter 270 The soul is currency
“How could there be such a stupid thing...”
Looking at the examination report in front of him, the doctor scratched his hair with a look of disbelief on his face.
?After that, the doctor also examined the old man, and the result was that his physical signs were normal - very healthy old man''s physical signs.
?However, it is this that makes the doctor unbelievable.
Can diseases be cured just by worshiping holy images?
Is there really such a good thing in this world?
With a rigorous attitude, the doctor found several patients in succession for experiments, and then he also discovered a pattern.
First of all, holy images are indeed effective in curing diseases... Although the reason is unknown, most patients have recovered to varying degrees after praying to holy images.
Secondly, the icon is not invincible. It can only treat viral diseases, but has a poor effect on bacterial diseases, and is ineffective against trauma.
In other words, if someone loses an arm or leg, even praying can only temporarily relieve pain or stop bleeding, but cannot regrow the limb. In other words, if it is a traumatic injury, a doctor will still need to take action - well, fortunately, at least the value of my existence is still there.
In any case, after confirming that the icon is indeed effective, the doctor also breathed a sigh of relief. Now it seems that the icon has not only not deprived the doctor of its existence value, but has become the doctor’s best helper-many viral diseases have caused It is an infectious disease, and infectious disease is the most troublesome and difficult disease for doctors to deal with. It will not only infect many people, but also cause a large consumption of medical resources.
More importantly, most viral diseases require medication, but in this era of drug shortage, finding suitable symptomatic drugs is really difficult. Well now, with the existence of the holy statue, at least there is no need to worry about the spread of infectious diseases here. After all, it can be cured by just praying... Well, although the doctor didn''t understand it, the examination report in his hand proved it. At this point, he could only admit the existence of this magical phenomenon.
?There are now three icons placed in the entire town, located at the entrance and exit of the town, the clinic and the church, and they can be used free of charge - that is, anyone can get treatment as long as they go to the icon and pray.
To be honest, the doctor had no idea how this was done. What he was even more confused about was why the Inquisition did this?
?Of course, he must not understand, because this is the purpose of Duanmu Huai.
The war between the Tribunal and the Evil God has never been limited to the frontal battlefield, and the fight for believers is also one of them. Of course, the main purpose of competing for believers is not to increase one''s own combat effectiveness - after all, most believers were useless cannon fodder during their lifetimes, complete consumables, and may not even be able to stop the Astartes for a second.
That’s right, during his lifetime.
But after death it’s a different story.
?In the world of Xinghai OL, after the death of ordinary believers, their souls will return to the gods they believe in, similar to the Golden Law in which humans return to the golden tree after death. The souls of those who have no faith will become the prey of the demons who kill them, that is, they will become the trophies of the Chaos Evil God.
This is definitely not possible.
??The more people you kill in reality, the more souls you get in the subspace, and the stronger your power becomes. This is just a snowball! If this keeps rolling, will other people still have fun?
Hence, the war against the Chaos Evil God is not only about the reality, but also about the battle for the soul. Like now, the souls of people killed by Duanmu Huai and the Tribunal will enter the Judgment Realm and enhance Duanmu Huai''s power. At the same time, the souls of people who believe in the Tribunal will also join the Tribunal after death, instead of being killed by evil gods. Take it away and become their spoils.
Yes, this is one of the reasons why Duanmu Huai installed the icon. When you pray to the icon and receive blessings and cure your disease, it means that you have made a deal with the Tribunal with your soul, and you will Become a believer in the Inquisition, and your soul will belong to the Inquisition after death.
free?
Is there anything more expensive than free in the world?
One''s life is inseparable from birth, old age, illness and death. And disease is the top priority among them. The **** of disease relies on this to develop his followers. The lower class people cannot afford medicine and cannot cure their diseases, so our loving father is willing to help them and treat their diseases. Disease gives them the glory of supreme mutation, allowing them to abandon their human identity and become members of the Plague Legion.
Since the God of Disease can do this, why can’t Duanmuhuai? Although his blessing is not as immortal as the God of Disease, isn''t it enough for most people? As long as it can spread in this way, it can rob a considerable number of potential believers of the God of Disease!
The soul is the currency of the gods!
?When those people pray to the icon to heal their diseases, it means that they have made a deal with the Inquisition with their souls. When they die, their souls will belong to the Inquisition!
?Hmm, very fair and just, no problem.
After all, Duanmu Huai has clearly written down the teachings of the Tribunal, including that after death, the soul will return to the Tribunal, go to the stars to fight evil gods, and protect mankind - I have written all the facts clearly and clearly. Yes, whether you believe it or not is your own business and has nothing to do with me.
But if you want to default on the bill...that''s another matter.
?So soon, the icon of the Inquisition became famous among the wanderers.
Everyone was very skeptical at first, but under the guidance of "try it and it doesn''t cost any money" and "it''s OK if you use it", most people tried to pray, and the results also made them overjoyed. Soon, those who were sick and could only endure without medical treatment also tried to pray to eliminate and relieve the pain.
The patient was overjoyed to be freed from the torments of his disease, and the Inquisition was equally overjoyed to have gained a new soul of a believer.
This is a win-win situation.
However, compared with the Tribunal, Jacinto, which is thousands of miles away, is a different scene.
Prior to this, the Security Government Alliance launched a light mass raid, using the light bombs in their hands to launch an attack on the Orcs underground near Jasintu, wiping out a large wave of Orcs. This also made the Security Government Alliance breathe a sigh of relief. Although their soldiers suffered a lot of casualties due to this plan, in any case, they proved to the people that the Security Government Alliance also had the ability to go deep underground to fight against the Orcs alone. ability.
??Next, it is time for the Security Government Alliance to take advantage of this victory to issue an appeal to the Inquisition, calling on both parties to join forces to attack the underground and completely eliminate the Orcs!
?Hmm...that was the original plan.
?However, the plan did not change quickly. Before the Security Government Alliance could contact the Inquisition, the plague also spread in this large city. The Security Government Alliance didn''t notice it at first, but they soon discovered that something was wrong. They immediately isolated some areas, imprisoned all infected people together, and conducted thorough supervision on them.
For the actions of the Security Government Alliance, the people were very cooperative at first. After all, with the aura of victory in the light quality raid, everyone was initially quite obedient.
But as time slowly passed, and the conditions of those infected by the plague became more and more serious, and eventually turned into monsters to attack others, the people could not sit still. Moreover, there have been rumors that the Security Government Alliance has no way to treat this plague. The only thing they can do is to isolate the infected people and then kill the mutated monsters - there are even rumors that the Security Government Alliance has planned to Completely kill all infected people! Under this situation, the quarantined infected people naturally do not want to sit still and wait for death, and they are also trying to find ways to escape from here.
However, this is not an easy thing for them.
“Have you heard?”
?In an abandoned house, several people were gathering together and talking quietly.
“Another isolation facility was destroyed...”
"real?"
“COG has no cure for the plague. They keep us here to die!”
After saying this, one of them clenched his fist angrily and waved it hard.
“If we don’t get out of here, we’re all going to die!”
“But...how to leave?”
?The other person coughed twice and asked, while the leading man spoke confidently.
"Just go through the underground pipes. I eavesdropped on the guards before. The COG has lifted the blockade on some underground pipes. It''s obvious that they also want us to leave here on purpose!"
"But...where can we go after leaving here?"
At this moment, a girl timidly spoke.
"We have no way of living outside. Moreover, this plague cannot be cured, and we have only one way to die... If we all die, I would rather die at home..."
“How do you know this is incurable?!”
?Hearing the girl''s frustrated words, the man suddenly raised his eyebrows and glared at her.
“COG can’t be cured, but what about the Inquisition? If we can find the Inquisition, maybe they can save our lives!”
“Inquisition? Do you think the Inquisition really exists?”
Looking at the man''s confident expression, others were a little confused. Due to COG''s strict information blockade, most people living in Jacinto City thought that the Tribunal was just a rumor made up by vagrants, and they didn''t quite believe it. After all, the content of the rumors was too exaggerated. They said that the Inquisition had indestructible steel warriors, and the attacks of the orcs were completely useless against them. Moreover, they went deep into the tunnels and easily eliminated the beasts'' nests. They also said that they were gods descending from the earth...
To be honest, almost no citizens in Jacintuli believe that this organization really exists. Even the COG''s light quality raid has lost so many soldiers. How is it possible that a homeless tribe can escape unscathed so easily? Destroy the orcs?
You also said that you are protected by gods?
How is this possible?
For the citizens of Jacinto, the so-called Tribunal is more like a legend like Peach Blossom Spring or Shangri-La, rather than a real reality.
"certainly."
As he spoke, the man looked around cautiously, and then took out a rag from his arms.
“This is a map I got from a homeless friend. They were going to the Tribunal, so they gave me this map. As long as we follow this map, we can find the Tribunal!”
“So far away……”
Looking at the location on the map, everyone looked pale.
“Can we make it there?”
“If you can’t get there, there is only a dead end!”
The man put away the cloth and stared at the others coldly.
"You all feel it too. This plague is eroding our bodies right now and is becoming more and more serious. If we stay here, we will only die. We might as well go to the Tribunal. Maybe there is still hope of survival! You are Do you want to stay here and wait for death? Or leave with me?"
…………”
Facing the man''s question, everyone fell silent.
They didn’t want to leave the city. After all, many people even abandoned everything they owned in order to enter Jacinto.
?And now, you want them to leave?
For most people, this is a difficult choice.
