Under a rustling sound, the shielding cover of the statue container slowly opened.
The statue was directly exposed to the sight of He Zhou's clone.
At this moment, the evil god contactee was opening the door and leaving.
Although his back was turned to the statue, he also noticed some mysterious power coming from the statue.
Under the influence of that mysterious power, he instantly felt as if his body had become stiff, making it difficult to move while standing there.
"What's going on?"
Those who came into contact with the evil god were very shocked.
He had never felt this way before, so he had no idea what was going on.
However, he could clearly feel that his body had become extremely stiff, as if he could not leave this place.
He knew that this power was very powerful.
Far beyond his previous understanding of mysterious power.
Of course, what he didn't know was that if he glanced at the statue at this time, he would be instantly affected by the statue.
Until then, he will stand still on the spot like the previous researchers.
And this memory will disappear from his life.
Let him have no idea what happened in the process.
Of course, his situation was not much better at this time.
His legs now felt like they were filled with lead and he couldn't walk at all.
He was so anxious that he was sweating.
But he knew in his heart that he must try his best to leave here no matter what.
If he stayed here, he would be dead.
Because the force that prevents him from leaving is too strong, making it difficult for him to adapt.
If he stayed at this time, it would be absolutely easy to kill him with this kind of power.
Even if his clone came over, it would never be able to cope with such a scene.
Therefore, he doesn't want to think about anything now, just try his best to get out of this laboratory.
He had no intention of caring about what happened to He Zhou's clone.
Whether He Zhou's clone is alive or dead has nothing to do with him.
The person who contacted the evil god tried his best to get out.
At this time, the copy of He Zhou was not much better.
Although when he was in the village before, he could look directly at the mysterious sculpture.
But the situation now is obviously different from that then.
At this moment, this mysterious sculpture is obviously actively exerting its powerful power, trying to influence anyone who looks directly at it.
If the Hezhou clone wants to fight against this power, it will have to pay a very high price.
Fortunately, he already had experience and was blessed by his ancestors' relics.
Blessed by the relics of his ancestors, he could look directly at the mysterious sculpture without being affected.
"This thing is indeed the ancestor of that village."
He Zhou's replica has completely confirmed that this statue is the mysterious sculpture seen in the village.
Because that feeling is exactly the same as now, and it's absolutely unmistakable.
At the same time, in the command hall.
Bruning and others naturally saw the action of the He Zhou clone opening the container shield, and also saw the He Zhou clone standing there motionless.
However, they did not know the specific feelings of He Zhou's clone at this moment, so they initially judged that He Zhou's clone should have been mentally affected.
"I knew he couldn't succeed."
Ma Sha commented lightly.
In his opinion, the situation of the Hezhou clone is no different from that of the researchers just now.
There is no doubt that the He Zhou clone's mind was influenced by his ancestors, causing him to completely lose his mind.
Those researchers at that time were just like the Hezhou clone now, standing there motionless.
The situation of both is exactly the same.
Therefore, under such circumstances, Ma Sha would naturally feel that the Hezhou clone had failed.
When he thought of this, he instantly felt relieved.
Because the powerful He Zhou clone poses a considerable threat to him.
If the Hezhou clone could really deal with the village ancestors on its own, then Masha felt that he would definitely not be the Hezhou clone's opponent.
The confidence you built up before will be gone in an instant.
On the other side, Bruning and Tian Benxiong had similar thoughts to Martha.
They all felt that the Hezhou clone was not successful.
I think he is standing there motionless now because his mind was affected by the statue and he has completely lost his mind.
The two of them shook their heads almost in unison, feeling disappointed with the He Zhou clone.
Immediately afterwards, their attention shifted to the person in contact with the evil god.
The evil god contactee was still trying his best to leave the research room.
It could be seen that his whole body was soaked with sweat.
This shows how powerful that statue is.
But at this moment they also noticed something.
That is, although the power of the statue is powerful, as long as you don't look directly at the statue, there seems to be some room for redemption.
At least it won't completely affect your mind, and you won't lose your mind completely.
But if you have a certain amount of consciousness, you can save yourself.
Just like the evil god contactee, he is about to walk out of the research room now.
By the time you leave the laboratory, the statue's influence will inevitably be greatly reduced.
Until then, you will be considered saved.
"Well, he moved?"
At this time, Ma Sha suddenly spoke.
After hearing this, both Bruning and Tian Benxiong were a little confused.
What made him move?
Hasn't he been trying to get out?
But the next second they realized that they were wrong.
Because Ma Sha was not talking about the person who contacted the evil god, but the Hezhou clone.
On the screen displayed by the light screen, the copy of He Zhou was slowly raising his hand and reaching towards the statue.
"What?"
Both Bruning and Tamoto were shocked.
They never expected that the copy of He Zhou could actually resist the influence of the statue on the mind.
How on earth did he do it?
Bruning suddenly stood up from the command chair, and then stared at the movements of He Zhou's clone.
He wanted to see what would happen after He Zhou's clone reached out and touched the statue.
"He actually wants to touch the statue?!"
Ma Sha on the side spoke in a daze.
Upon hearing this, Bruning asked intently: "Isn't the statue touched in the village?"
"No, not one."
Martha said with absolute certainty.
Bruning asked: "Have the village chief and the elders in the village never touched the statue?"
"No, absolutely not!"
Masha's tone was still decisive.
"Really? In that case."
Bruning couldn't take his eyes away from the light screen.
Since no one in the village has touched the statue, does that mean that no one has touched the statue so far?
In this case, what will happen after the Hezhou clone touches the statue?
Bruning was full of expectations at this moment.
Of course, Tian Benxiong and Martha's expectations were no weaker than his.
Especially Ma Sha, at this time, she really wanted to know what would happen next.
If the Hezhou clone successfully touches the statue, will it gain the powerful power contained in the statue?
Martha didn't know this, but he really wanted to know.
Because this issue is very critical to him.
After all, he is a villager in that village.
In his mind, ancestors are very sacred existences.
They have worshiped their ancestors since childhood and regarded them as their only gods.
Now that the gods are about to be touched by mortal hands, what will happen next?
Time passes minute by minute.
But for Bruning, Martha and Tian Benxiong at this moment, time seems to have frozen and stood still.
It seems that the movements of the Hezhou clone have become very slow.
Inching forward like a sloth.
Of course, for the Hezhou clone at the scene, events at this time passed particularly slowly.
But unlike Bruning and others, the slowdown in the flow of time he felt was not an illusion, but a real feeling.
And this feeling continues to deepen.
It was as if the closer his hand was to the statue, the slower the flow of time would become.
This has resulted in Hezhou Copy now having a lot of things to think about, experience and feel.
Of course this is not a good thing.
Because for him now, the flow of time has slowed down and he has more time to think, which is actually a kind of torture.
If this happened in an instant, the result would be known by now.
But now the outcome is completely unknown, and the Hezhou clone cannot help but think about whether the outcome is good or bad.
"Does this thing have the power to slow down the flow of time?"
He Zhou's clone couldn't help but think.
Immediately afterwards, his thoughts drifted away involuntarily.
If this statue really has the power to slow down time, can he master this power?
If you really master this power, you will definitely gain a huge advantage in battle.
Just imagine, you can clearly see every move of the opponent in a battle, then you can find the best way to deal with it.
If you have the ability to slow down time, like the last battle with Masha in the steel cage, it will become very simple.
With his strength at that time, he would definitely be able to fight Martha easily and win the battle.
Perhaps after winning that battle, the mysterious strong man's attitude towards him would be completely different.
He Zhou's clone immediately thought too far away.
But this is all because he now feels that the flow of time has slowed down, and when he is thinking randomly, he will naturally think of things further away without realizing it.
In this way, in the random thoughts of He Zhou's clone, time passed at a slow speed.
He Zhou's clone can clearly see every movement of his hands.
He watched helplessly as his hand continued to approach the statue.
The distance is getting shorter and shorter.
Ten centimeters, nine centimeters, eight centimeters...
Eventually, the distance shortened to less than one centimeter.
He Zhou's clone finally stopped thinking and focused entirely on his right hand and the statue.
He wanted to see when his hand could actually touch the statue.
After a while.
Finally, his right hand touched the statue.
For an instant, He Zhou's clone held its breath.
Like him, Bruning and others in the command hall were also staring at the light screen intently at this moment.
Their attention was all highly concentrated, staring closely at every move of He Zhou's clone in the picture.
After all, this is the first time someone has actually touched the statue.
What kind of reaction will there be after the statue is touched?
No one knew this, but everyone was full of curiosity.
Perhaps, the next reaction of the statue will surprise people.
However, it is possible that there will be no reaction at all.
Everything is unknown.
No one present knew the final outcome.
Therefore, they are highly concentrated and are afraid of missing any detail.
Time passes minute by minute.
Under the gaze of everyone, He Zhou's clone's right hand remained motionless as it pressed on the statue.
It feels like time has frozen and is still.
But it feels like time is not moving forward, but because the statue has not changed in any way.
At this moment, almost everyone doesn't know which is the correct answer.
After all, it is because time has stagnated that there is no change or reaction, but there is indeed no change or reaction.
That statue seems to have an impact on everyone observing even through the light curtain.
It seems that everyone's minds have been affected by it.
Everyone was staring and paying close attention.
Then, after about a few seconds, He Zhou's clone finally reacted.
The area where the statue was touched by He Zhou's clone suddenly glowed with light.
The brightness of this light is not great, just a faint and weak light.
But even so, it's eye-catching enough.
Because this has never happened before.
No one present could figure out the true origin of this statue, and naturally they had never seen anything like this before.
Also, Martha, an original villager, has made it clear that no one has ever touched the statue.
And now, someone finally touched the statue and successfully made the statue react.
This is a huge surprise for everyone.
Bruning and Tamoto seemed to see a glimmer of hope, a glimmer of hope to use the power of the statue to solve the mutation disaster.
Both of them were praying in their hearts at this moment, praying that He Zhou's clone body could completely understand the source of this statue's power.
Then maybe this powerful force can be used by others.
Of course, Bruning still had worries in his heart.
He was worried that if the Hezhou clone really gained the powerful power in the statue, it would become uncontrollable.
By that time, perhaps the Hezhou clone will become a more difficult entity to deal with than the False God Organization.
All this will inject huge instability factors into the entire world.
Bruning worried about the consequences.
But what he wants to solve now is the mutation disaster in Paradise City.
And that mysterious and powerful pseudo-god organization.
These two are his biggest worries.
If these two problems are not solved, there will be no future.
Because no one knows whether the mutation disaster in Paradise City will continue to spread to the surrounding areas.
And no one knows how powerful the pseudo-god organization is.
All this is unknown.
No one knows the outcome.
Bruning now just wants to solve these two unknown problems first.
As for the unknown about the mysterious statue, we can only talk about it later.
On the light curtain, the statue still radiated light.
The location where the light emitted was still where He Zhou's clone's hand was pressing, and there was no sign of expansion at all.
