After exiting the "changing room", it is still not a residential area, but another large area similar to a train station platform. The shape of this area and the pillars standing in it are almost the same as the one we passed before. It is estimated that the two areas are upper and lower.
Built with two layers of mirrors.
When they arrived here, the surrounding air was enough for ordinary people like Hank to breathe smoothly. After passing through this place and passing through a winding passage, the front suddenly became clear, and the three of them finally arrived at the interior of Shenyou Village.
For the two players, what they saw in front of them was indeed a strange sight. Orange-yellow light fell from the sky. Looking up, they could see layers of cloud-like vegetation forming the sky here. The height was basically the same.
It can be seen visually that it is approximately the distance from the ground to the top of the canyon. The sunlight does not enter through the gaps covered by these plants, but is filtered by these plants and then penetrates. This layer of vegetation seems to be the only one in Shenyou Village.
There is an ozone layer. Of course, what they saw at this time is no longer a purely natural product. This layer of vegetation has been improved several times by the people living here in the past hundreds of years. This protection is the lifeblood of the village.
Must be absolutely stable and safe.
Walking forward, you can see the neatly arranged roads and the same low buildings. There are not many pedestrians on the street, and they are all wearing the same clothes. The men's clothes are exactly the same as Hank's, and the women's are the same.
The clothing styles are not much different, just the colors are slightly brighter.
At this time, Feng Bujue and Kuang Zong Jianying had taken off the helmets of the protective suits and left them in the locker room. They tightened the collars of the protective suits and turned them inward to ensure that they could wear them inside.
Their clothes are not revealing. Even so, they are still quite conspicuous.
To give a vivid example: two fifth-grade students came to the first-grade classroom. They wore different school uniforms and were taller... But after all, they still wore school uniforms and did not go to school dressed like Conan.
So the villagers just looked at them strangely instead of screaming in panic or attacking them with hoes.
"The guy who designed this city has really bad taste. Robots will not live in a place like this." Kuangzong Jianying commented.
"Haha... what do you think it will be like here?" Feng Bujue asked.
"When he said village, I thought it was a place like the Shire." Kuang Zong Jianying said: "I didn't expect it to be like this... It's like a formatted slum here." He said.
He sneered: "Real slums are better than this, at least the buildings and people there are..." He didn't think of what words to use.
Feng Bujue added: "Have personality."
"Yes, personality." Kuang Zong Jianying said: "Look at these guys, they live in the same house, wear the same clothes, and use the same things... To be honest, aren't you afraid of getting lost?" He turned around and asked.
Hank.
Hank replied: "Each road has a number, so it's easy to find."
Kuang Zong Jianying shook his head and sighed: "Okay."
"At least they still enjoy freedom in hairstyle. The leader did not arrange for all of them to shave their heads. Only the cadres were allowed to grow their hair." Feng Bujue said.
"Fengxian Academy sent a congratulatory message..." Kuangzong Jianying really understood and replied jokingly.
The three of them walked for a while and met two street patrol officers. The two men were wearing slightly different styles and colors of clothing. They wore epaulettes, long boots, and their weapons were a catapult and a metal shield.
.
"Stop." One of them stopped them.
Feng Bujue and the others stopped, waiting for the other party to come forward and ask questions. Kuangzong Jianying could be said to be confident, he just looked at the other party with a look that was neither humble nor arrogant, and stood there silently, while Hank felt guilty and nervous.
Don't dare to speak.
"Why did you come in wearing protective clothing?" the inspector asked.
Feng Bujue replied: "Well...sir, our clothes are ruined."
"Droken?" The man glanced at Feng Bujue suspiciously: "The clothes were placed in a box in the dressing room, how could they be damaged?"
"Sir, I was accidentally caught by the metal door of the filter layer." Feng Bujue replied.
"Oh..." The man responded doubtfully, and after a few seconds said, "Then go to the supply office as soon as possible to get a new set."
"Understood, thank you for your concern, sir!" Feng Bujue replied.
The two patrollers looked at each other, shrugged, and left.
Kuang Zong Jianying said with a smile: "Your attitude...you must have watched too many domestic TV series. It feels like an underground traffic officer meets a woman on the street."
"As long as it works," Feng Bujue replied.
Hank looked suspicious and said: "It's strange... they actually believed it. How could the clothes be caught by the metal door of the filter channel? We filter first and then change clothes. If we want to clamp, we have to clamp the protective clothing.
Right."
"Yes, but how do they know?" Feng Bujue said: "They are not scavengers."
"Oh, right! The patrolman should have never left the village." Hank continued as if he suddenly understood.
"Have you thought of such a thing?" Kuang Zong Jianying interjected and asked.
"In a social system where classes are clearly defined and insurmountable; each performs its own duties and does not interfere with each other. Regardless of the people at the top, a group living at the bottom cannot understand the details of the work of another group." Feng
Bujue said: "It's impossible for the scavengers to know how many dishes and soups are served in the patroller's canteen, and it's impossible for the patrollers to know the procedures for the scavengers to use the changing room. So I just need to give a random reason, can they still
Immediately take out your phone and Google the specific process for waste pickers to return to the village?"
"Well... due to the blocking word, please allow me to use 'cunning' to praise you." Kuang Zong Jianying said, the adjective in his mind was actually "despicable".
"Okay, Hank, as you can see, there is nothing to worry about. We can handle it very well." Feng Bujue turned to Hank and said, "Now, before you go to report to your superiors, show us around first.
Come to your village."
"But according to the regulations...as soon as the scavenger team returns to the village, they have to..." Hank's words were naturally interrupted by Feng Bujue.
"You have already brought two outsiders into the village, what rules do you still care about?" Feng Bujue said: "If you go back to life now, we will definitely not be able to follow you, because your superiors will see through that we are not scavengers.
Member. We don’t have time to wait for you to report clearly to your superiors alone before taking action. Besides, I don’t trust you to act alone. If you betray us or reveal a flaw, something that no one wants to see will happen.
A battle takes place.
In addition, it is undoubtedly a capital crime for you to bring "outsiders" into the village. I think your people in power will not care whether you are threatened or not, nor will they listen to your explanation... So, if you plan to sneak away from us
Go and inform the patrolman. Not only will your fellow villagers die, but you yourself will also die in the end."
Feng Bujue watched Hank's expression change and knew that his persuasion was successful again: "Your best choice is to follow what I said and don't go to see your superiors first. Instead, take us to the village and wait for us to visit.
It's over, leave the village quietly, and then go back to life. By then, you will be considered late at best, and there will be no serious consequences. No one will be hurt, and no one will know that we have been here."
"This is different from what was promised in advance... You didn't say this before..." Hank replied in a panic, looking a little at a loss.
"Then how do you think things will develop?" Feng Bujue smiled: "The plan has to catch up with the changes."
At this point, Hank has already boarded the pirate ship. As Feng Bujue said, everyone has weaknesses. If they are caught, they will betray their principles.
At first, Hank just didn't want to be killed. Later, he didn't want to see people in his village being killed. Now, these two threats are on his shoulders at the same time. For him, the only solution is to fight with this man.
Two "outsiders" work together in the hope that they can leave without being discovered.
Of course, his thinking was too simple and too naive. If he could have thought more deeply, he would have understood that even if Feng Bujue and Kuangzong Jianying left quietly in the end, just as they came quietly,
Wave your sleeves and don't take away a single life. Things will eventually be exposed... They have registered their names when they entered the village. Javi and Joey are considered to be alive and have returned to the village. How can living people do this?
Disappeared out of thin air? Therefore, in a few days, Hank will still be arrested and questioned. If he can't explain clearly, it will be a felony. If he can't explain clearly, he will die.
…………
In the deepest part of Shenyou Village, there is a place called the Temple.
Although this place is called a temple, it actually has nothing to do with it. This "temple" was rebuilt from the half of an interstellar spacecraft hundreds of years ago.
In the village, only members of the Coburn family have the right to freely enter and exit the temple, which is equivalent to their royal palace.
For many years, the Coburn family has regarded itself as the spokesperson of the gods. They convey the will of "God". Of course, this "God" has nothing to do with Christianity. The will represented by the word god can be made up by the Coburn family at will.
.
If they want to kill someone, they will say that the gods want him to die; if they want to kill a certain group of people, they will say that these people are heretics; if they want people to surrender, they will give orders in the name of God;
They want other people's property, wives and daughters, and they can also make up corresponding reasons.
In short, the words of the Coben family are equivalent to divine decree. Anyone who disobeys them is going against God and disregarding the life and death of the entire village.
Of course, religious lies alone cannot rule for that long. What the Coburn family really masters is "knowledge". The information left in the starship is monopolized by them. They only communicate with a small number of useful people (
Village priests) to share. In this way, when they are willing, they can show some "miracles" to make those ignorant people fear and convince.
This is why the people at the bottom of Shenyou Village know almost nothing about biology, medicine, and astronomy.
Biology makes people question the Creator, medicine makes people understand death, and astronomy will expose countless religious lies and break people's illusions.
Knowledge changes destiny, and technology changes life.
But the Coburn family is not willing to see any changes in their destiny. No independent individual or interest group is willing to see the inherently good situation in front of them changed. Therefore, they must know how to "control".
As the saying goes, the people are difficult to govern because of their wisdom. The policy of obscuring the people in Shenyou Village can be said to be very clever. The Coben family did not completely prevent the villagers under their rule from accessing knowledge. They let the people learn some of them, such as farming and smelting.
Metal, architecture, etc... At the same time, they are instilled with brainwashing religious propaganda to make them believe in the existence of gods and not dare to do any transgression.
As a result, there was such a unique and abnormal civilization.
York Coburn is the current "Son of God" in Shenyou Village. He can also be said to be the village chief, mayor, chief, president, king...
His ancestors were greedy, sinister, and far-sighted. After seizing power, they occupied the starship, and then planned this method of rule, creating the great situation for him today.
From the brief exchange with Hank, Feng Bujue had roughly understood what the social system of Shenyou Village was like, so he insisted that this script was just a science fiction setting. What kind of "Son of God"?
It's an old trick played a thousand years ago. The revolutionaries in the 20th century were no longer too lazy to associate themselves with gods. At most, those who had never fought in a war proclaimed themselves generals, and those who had never read a book proclaimed themselves generals.
A doctor or something like that. People who consider themselves to be someone’s godson, biological son, or second son in heaven cannot do this for people with a little bit of education and IQ.
When Hank and the two uninvited guests gradually walked deeper into the village, it was Coburn's time for afternoon tea.
Kouben lived a very regular life. He had three full meals a day and two snacks a day. In the afternoon, he drank tea and some snacks to satisfy his hunger. He went to bed at nine o'clock in the evening. Basically, he had to change a girl to accompany him every night.
Some people may wonder, there are only a few thousand people in this village, how can he do this? Have all the women in the village slept with him?
In fact, it can be said that he has slept with all the pretty ones. Why? This goes back to the 13th century. At that time, European nobles exercised something called "virginity rights", also called "virginity rights".
"One night", that is, the daughters of tenant farmers must be given to the local nobles for "taste" the day before they get married. In Shenyou Village, this bad habit has revived, but it is not so explicit, and it is said that it is sent to the temple first.
Go and receive the "baptism" of the Son of God. The days may be long or short. Some of them will be sent out if he feels dissatisfied with them, and some of them will be kept for a few more days.
The Coburn family has continued this behavior for many years, which has caused another problem, that is, their descendants are all over the village. Generally speaking, the head of the family will choose the most favored woman as his wife, so there is only one son of God in name, his brothers and sisters
They are family members, and the second generation is demoted to a priest.
But in fact, it is unclear how many people in this village are related to Kouben.
Over hundreds of years, it is inevitable for close relatives to meet. Although there are exceptions, statistically speaking, it is a common phenomenon that the genes of offspring become worse and worse. Low athletic ability, physical fitness, low intelligence, and a high incidence of congenital diseases
...These are all irreversible situations, but the medicine in this village is poor, and there are only a few doctors in the temple. The end result is that the villagers are small, stupid and naive; the population base has hardly grown, because
The mortality rate from disease is too high;
The decline and destruction of Shenyou Village will come sooner or later, it is just a matter of time.
However, there may be a turning point in this matter, because a guy named Feng Bujue entered the village today... (To be continued.
