Chapter 816: In the Foundation of the Kingdom of God (please vote for the big chapter)
The hazy light dissipated in He Ao's vision. At this moment, He Ao finally saw the 'scene' in front of him clearly.
Huge factory buildings, roaring machines, and figures of people standing in front of the machines with blank eyes and constant "busyness".
"Don't you understand yet?"
A hoarse old voice came from the side, "You are dead. This is a place where only the dead can enter. Your body has become a 'sacrifice', and your soul has come here."
He Ao turned his attention and happened to see an old man talking to a middle-aged man sitting on the ground.
"you're lying,"
The middle-aged man stood up angrily, looked at the old man, reached out and tried to grab the old man's collar, but the old man stepped back and missed, "I'm not dead yet, I have entered the Kingdom of God and gained eternal life!"
!!”
The old man glanced at him calmly, and then sighed, "During the ceremony, didn't you feel the pain? Didn't you feel that your body was melting?"
"The priest told me that this is a normal situation, and it is a normal pain that the body of the old world goes through,"
The middle-aged man's eyes widened and his face turned red. He looked at the old man angrily, "What do you know! I'm not dead! I'm not dead!"
This time, the old man did not speak anymore, but shook his head, sighed, turned and left.
"You liars, you are all liars, you must have been sent by the devil to seduce me!"
The middle-aged man glanced at the people around him who were working hard, rushed over angrily, looked at the screen on the running machine, raised his fist and rushed over, "These things must be used by the devil to deceive me!"
During the whole process, no one stopped him. Even except the old man who talked to him at the beginning, no one came up to stop him.
And just when his fist was about to reach the machine, his whole body twitched, and the red anger on his face instantly turned into twisted pain.
He pinched his neck with both hands and fell to the ground, twisting and struggling like a fish thrown ashore, twitching continuously.
He Ao stared at the man lying on the ground. At this moment, in his spiritual vision, the twisted light in the man's body was fluctuating crazily in his body, or in other words, his 'soul'.
After a while, he finally recovered, and it seemed that the punishing 'pain' just now disappeared.
He pushed his body up with difficulty and lay on the ground. A large amount of sweat kept sliding down the side of his face, but when it dripped into the air, it completely disappeared and did not drip onto the ground.
"This, what is this?"
He raised his head tremblingly and looked at the old man.
"This is the eternal kingdom of God."
The old man replied calmly.
"Have I been cheated?"
The middle-aged man finally calmed down. He sat cross-legged on the ground. I don't know whether it was sweat or tears sliding down his face. "I have paid so much. How could this happen? They said there would be no hunger here and there would be endless food."
All kinds of food, and endless beauties to enjoy...”
He raised his head and looked at the endless rumbling machines in his field of vision, "They lied to me..."
"Technically speaking, they didn't lie to you,"
The old man also glanced at the surrounding environment, "There is indeed no hunger here, you will not feel tired, and you can work endlessly."
"impossible!"
The middle-aged man raised his head and looked at the old man angrily, "There is no way I can work!"
He staggered up and walked towards the edge of the huge factory angrily, "I have paid so much not to come here and work for the factory owner here!"
But when he walked halfway, his body suddenly twitched and fell to the ground, twitching violently. He looked at the old man in horror, "No! Why! I didn't touch anything!"
He twisted and crawled towards the old man, "I feel so uncomfortable, even worse than before, why... why..."
"Your time is up, look at your wrist."
The old man looked at him calmly.
The man immediately lifted up his sleeves and looked at his wrist. A string of luminous numbers was displayed on his wrist, 00:07:58:36.
This seemed to be a countdown. As he watched, the series of numbers quickly became smaller. In the blink of an eye, the final number changed from 36 to 33.
"What's this?"
He raised his head in horror and looked at the old man.
"Your last life,"
The old man said calmly, "You have wasted too much time. New people who come in only have 12 hours of life. You can get 1 day of life for every 16 hours of work. If you use up your own life, then in the last eight
Within hours, you will die of increasing pain."
He sighed and continued, "Now is just the beginning. The pain you endure will rise to a level every ten minutes. During this process, your soul will never dissipate and the pain will continue to intensify until all your time is consumed."
All."
"Help me! Help me!"
The man's face became more ferocious at this moment, thick saliva flowed from the corner of his mouth, and he seemed to be a little delirious.
"Go to the post I just told you,"
The old man sighed softly, "As long as you keep working, your time will keep increasing and the pain will disappear."
Upon hearing this, the man staggered up and rushed to a position next to the machine without hesitation.
The moment he came into contact with the machine, his ferocious expression softened, and then he started manipulating the robotic arm to assemble the parts on the machine non-stop.
This work is not easy, it requires great care, and the operation intensity of the robotic arm is also very high.
Tears and sweat continued to slide down his cheeks, but they were completely dissipated in mid-air.
Seeing this scene, the old man let out a long sigh, turned around and disappeared.
He Ao glanced at the direction where the old man disappeared and raised the fossilized finger bone in his hand.
He passed through a 'door' again.
This time, what appeared in front of him was a wide hall.
There are golden pillars in the hall. Some people are standing in front of the pillars and putting their hands on the pillars.
"You saved up enough time so quickly?"
The old man who was in the factory space before was now in front of He Ao. He walked up to a young man who was putting his hands on the pillar and asked in a low voice.
At this moment, a bottle of exquisitely packaged distilled liquor was suspended on the pillar in front of the young man.
"Oh, I didn't save enough. How could it be so fast? I did the calculations. If I work for 16 hours, it will take 24 hours. After deducting the working time, I will only have 8 hours."
The young man seemed to be very familiar with the old man. He turned around, sighed and complained, "I have been working 24 hours a day these days, and I can only save 12 hours a day. I only saved 72 hours in total, but this wine
The cheapest ultra-small bottles are all priced at 5 days. Speaking of which, old man, you said you saved up time to buy the things before, did you save up enough time?"
"Save enough,"
The old man paused for a moment, then nodded gently, "We have everything here."
"Hahaha,"
Another dark-skinned woman next to the young man answered. On the pillar in front of her was a small roast chicken that looked very appetizing but was small. "There is indeed everything in this Kingdom of God, and everything is fine."
I want to buy it, but I just can’t afford anything.”
"How much does your chicken cost?"
The young man glanced at the roast chicken on the woman's pillar and asked curiously.
"Cheap, 16 hours."
The woman patted the pillar lightly, and the illusory roast chicken immediately solidified, and the rich aroma quickly spread to the entire hall, "We will work for two days, and this roast chicken is worth it."
The woman laughed, picked up the roast chicken, and turned around to walk to the table in the corner of the hall.
He Ao looked at the roasted chicken. Small roasted chickens of this size are usually gene-edited fast-growing chickens. The selling price in various parts of the federation is between 16-19 federal coins, and generally no more than 20 federal coins.
When the people around me smelled this fragrance, they subconsciously shrugged their noses and felt their throats tingle.
The young man glanced at the distilled wine in front of him and swallowed.
"What the hell, let's feel comfortable first before we talk!"
Not far away, a man slammed the pillar.
In an instant, a luxurious steak set appeared in his hand. Holding the steak set, he turned and walked towards the table next to the hall.
"Yo, are you so rich?"
The dark-skinned woman who was eating roast chicken glanced at the man and said, "Your steak set meal will last at least a day and a half."
"How can I have money? I used the credit card of Rockwell Energy Group,"
The man with the steak set said without hesitation, "Whatever, let's feel good first."
"Ah, there are also credit cards."
The young man who had been listening to the conversation between the two turned around, looked at the phantom of distilled wine in front of him, and swallowed.
"The monthly interest on Rockwell Energy Group's credit card exceeds 5%. Are you sure you want to pay it?"
The old man beside him asked in a low voice.
“It’s indeed much higher than outside,”
The young man smiled bitterly, "But we are like this now. There seems to be no way to live day by day. I can't die even if I want to. Every time I want to die, the pain makes me breathless."
He glanced at the people around him and said, "Everyone is actually the same. This Kingdom of God is more painful than hell."
The old man fell silent.
"But Rockville Energy Group is really awesome at being able to do business in the Eternal Kingdom of God."
Seeing that the atmosphere was getting dull, the young man laughed and changed the topic.
"really,"
The old man nodded slightly and looked at the young man, "Where are you going to go later? Continue working, or find a place to rest?"
"Take a break,"
The young man touched his head and said, "I have been doing this for several days in a row, and I feel a little dizzy. I didn't expect that people like us who have 'died' can still be tired. I made an appointment for a dormitory bed for eight hours."
He Ao raised his head and glanced at the young man's 'soul'.
Under the vision of spiritual vision, this young man's soul was already a little unstable.
The soul is not immune to fatigue. Long-term thinking and action will also overdraw the soul, making it easier for a stable soul to dissipate.
"The kingdom of Madhu is really dark."
When He Ao looked at the young man's soul, the young man complained angrily,
"It also takes time to redeem dormitory beds with bunk beds. Two hours of life are exchanged for eight hours of use. We are not allowed to sleep in factories or halls. I can only sleep in dormitory beds. In order to sleep for eight hours, I have to
Work for four more hours.”
"normal,"
The old man smiled and said, "This is the 'rent'. Everything here is the same as in the Federation, but the currency has changed."
"really,"
The young man let out a long sigh, "This Eternal Kingdom is even darker than United Industries."
"maybe,"
The old man shook his head, "The reason why United Industries doesn't let us work for 20 hours is not because they don't want to, but because they know that our bodies can't bear it and we will never do it. The Eternal Kingdom doesn't have this worry."
"Just robbers living in a den,"
The young man sighed.
"We cannot resist the rules here. We can only be driven like livestock and machines to work endlessly until the moment our souls are destroyed."
The old man glanced at the shining pillar and said hoarsely.
"well,"
The young man sighed again, took his hand away from the pillar, and looked at the old man, "Then I'm going to rest."
As he spoke, his figure disappeared from the sky.
The old man stared at the empty space in front of him, his eyebrows lowered.
The surrounding space was eerily quiet.
Everyone was silent.
The old man slowly placed his hand on the pillar, and a sharp dagger instantly appeared in front of him and fell into his hand.
He held the dagger tightly and seemed to be caught in some kind of memory.
Under this gaze, he gradually raised the sword in his hand high, and then suddenly swung it down.
boom--
The metal dagger collided with the pillar, making a crisp sound.
At this moment, the old man's body twitched, and a painful expression appeared on his cheeks.
But his movements did not stop, he remained silent, and kept hacking at the surrounding pillars.
Even though his actions couldn't cause any damage to these pillars, he still chopped them angrily with all his strength.
His head was disheveled and his eyes were red, completely different from his previous gentle appearance.
Everyone in the hall seemed to have just woken up from a dream. They huddled back and looked at the silent old man in horror.
The entire hall trembled violently, and the invisible golden light instantly tied up the old man and hung him in the sky.
"Please do not damage any public property."
The cold and 'gentle' mechanical female voice sounded from all corners of the hall.
Immediately afterwards, the surrounding environment seemed to become unreal.
Twisted and blurry factory spaces appeared all around, and the busy 'human figures' in these factories could be vaguely seen.
At this moment, these 'figures' all raised their heads and looked at the sky with confusion, looking in the direction where the old man was hung.
This scene seems to be projected into ‘every work space’ in God’s country.
"Please do not damage any public property."
The cold mechanical female voice sounded again, and at the same time, the golden light surrounding the old man in the sky tightened.
"Ah... Damn it, nanny!"
The old man looked at the illusory space around him with a painful expression, and suddenly laughed out loud, "You dirty ghosts!!! Greedy, arrogant, despicable..."
Those golden lights did not pause at all, and were still tightening slowly.
The old man was still cursing, but his voice could no longer come out.
His expression became more and more ferocious and painful.
The young man who had disappeared reappeared in the hall, looking at the old man above him in horror.
At this moment, not far away, He Ao raised his head and stared at all this.
The twisted light that was trying to invade his body was getting stronger and stronger and was about to erode his body.
He has reached the limit of how long he can stay in this kingdom of God.
He raised his hand and glanced at the fossilized finger bones in his palm.
At this moment, he activated his super memory.
Without the limitations of the body, in a pure soul state, he can use the power of super memory without any restrictions.
The surrounding 'people' instantly turned into shades of purple.
He raised his head and looked at the old man who was hanging above his head, then rushed forward without hesitation and grabbed the old man's wrist with one hand.
Then, he looked up at the sky.
Mental shock!
The surging soul power impacted on that golden power.
The unprepared golden light was directly shattered.
The distorted light turbulent in the old man's body was directly suppressed by He Ao, and his ferocious expression softened.
Immediately afterwards, He Ao controlled the power of the soul, wrapped up the twisted light in the old man's body, and forcibly 'stripped it off'.
This is just an ordinary soul, with not much twisted light actually attached to it.
At the same time, some kind of terrifying and powerful 'sight' instantly swept across the entire space.
He Ao raised the finger bone fossil in his hand.
The next second, his figure and the old man's figure disappeared into the space.
