Blue and White Society Chapter 719: Stigmata Rose
Worshiping this thing on the surface is a typical distortion of the mind. He clearly believes in atheism, but the theist feels that he believes in his own god.
This kind of thing can be used to deceive people, but if you want to deceive the contained objects, you don't know, it depends on who is more absolute.
To test its effect, Catherine sculpted a set of statues of lamp gods and computer gods.
As a member of the older generation, Catherine can basically do everything, and the carved statues are detailed and exquisite.
But before that, everyone tried self-hypnosis to convince themselves to believe in these false gods.
"Catherine, the boot time is thirty minutes."
"Wu Yunmo, the boot time is forty-seven minutes."
"Mo Poor, the boot time is one hour..."
God Lord is responsible for recording. Although it is not as accurate as the statistics of the church's people holding the storage items, the time when the computer idol is turned on can also support the estimation of everyone's belief value.
I have to say that after self-hypnosis, the members are also more devout than Andy, a kid.
But piety is limited. After all, it's useless to be stronger than a five-year-old kid. It's unrealistic to rely on hypnosis to achieve citizen-level piety.
Any citizen can compress the boot time to less than one minute, let alone those priests with amazing beliefs.
As for their members who use **** statues, no matter how much they lie to themselves, compared to the people here, they are just super old machines.
"I tried my best. If I want to improve my belief in the gods, I have to seal all my memories of the Lanbai Club. And if I do that... I'm not a member of the club anymore." Mo Poor said.
Sealing the memories of members is obviously not enough, everyone still has to perform tasks.
As long as the belief of the members is guaranteed, the greatest belief they can achieve is to be comparable to an ordinary ten-year-old child...or a genius seven- or eight-year-old child.
In the underground city-state, it is still at the level of everyone.
"Try 'superficial worship', Mo Poor, go to the place on the photo, I have already said hello." Ke Long said to Che Yun, and Che Yun and Mo Poor were always in spiritual communication.
Che Yun responded and put on the earrings.
Not long after, Mo Poor went through several rounds, arrived at the designated place, got the contents and returned to the ground.
"This rose is the so-called superficial worship? Oh, I remembered, isn't this the stigmata rose?" Mo Poor asked.
'The Stigmata Rose' is an Alpha-grade containment object, it looks like a bunch of roses with thorns, and it always looks like it has just been picked.
This is a very ancient containment, it should not leave people's eyes, otherwise, even if it is only a blink of an eye, it will quietly disappear and appear in other corners of the world.
So Mo Poor kept watching him all the time, and everyone was paying attention to it at the moment, lest it run away.
Wu Yunmo also stared at the rose and said, "Yes, it's the stigmata rose, we use a different nickname."
"The method of use is very simple, just be pricked by the thorns on it, or soak the rose petals in water to drink, or eat the whole rose petals..."
Catherine also said: "People who have been in contact with the above will have stigmata when they have not seen roses and some beliefs in their hearts are fluctuating strongly."
"I read its information at the beginning, and it was said that it was the chief culprit of stigmata disease throughout the ages." Mo Poor blinked and said.
Catherine nodded and said: "That's right, except for some people who intentionally put stigmata on themselves, all the stigmata that actually appeared are because of it."
Stigmata is a phenomenon that has occasionally appeared in humans since the thirteenth century.
The specific manifestations are circular wounds on the left and right palms or ankles with varying amounts of bleeding, but there are also cases where a large amount of blood and tears appear in other parts such as knees and foreheads, or in both eyes.
Some people are relatively relaxed and have no pain, but inexplicably bleeding from the palms.
But some people will feel severe pain, and even die from pain or due to profuse bleeding.
Some religious people believe that the wounds of the crucifixion of **** are reflected on believers, but the fact is that there are a large number of cases that are not Christians at all, and many of them are atheists.
Doctors believe that a rare skin disease makes these festering wounds look like they were nailed to a cross.
However, the specific cause of this disease is unknown, and no related viruses or bacteria have been found, and even the wound will not be infected.
Wounds like stigmata will heal and recur automatically on a regular basis, and other than that, no medical method can actively heal it, even if it is stitched up, the blood will still flow strangely.
This phenomenon also happened to some corpses at one time, and the fresh blood that smelled of roses still flowed out.
"Generally speaking, it is only an alpha-level threat. Some people have not affected their lives because of the stigmata, but some people have suffered decades of bloodshed and pain, and even died because of it."
"This is related to the degree of belief. If you have something you believe in, the more firm you are, the more serious your stigmata will be."
Catherine said, there is no doubt that using this thing can show her extreme admiration for Gaia in front of people, but correspondingly, the members of the club also have to suffer from blood loss.
And this effect is almost permanent, unless the most steadfast belief in the heart is abandoned, or the limbs where the stigmata appeared are completely obliterated, otherwise the stigmata will last forever, and there is no cure, even if you die , even if the limbs are replaced.
Death will not be regarded as giving up the most firmly believed thing in the heart, it is just the loss of consciousness, not abandonment.
Obviously, it is impossible for members of the society to abandon their most steadfast belief - the way of containment.
So once they choose to use it, they will have to bleed from their palms, or have blood and tears in their eyes from time to time for the rest of their lives.
"Let me try it first. If the effect is not good, you don't need to be infected with this thing." Wu Yunmo smiled. He is a dying person, so naturally he doesn't care about such trivial matters.
I saw him grabbing the rose and pricking his finger.
Of course, the rose thorns didn't break the defense at all, and there were only some white marks on Wu Yunmo's skin.
However, the effect does not need to pierce the skin, just pierce it.
This is a typical containment infection, not a virus or a bacterium, but a concept and an imposition of nature.
Wu Yunmo shifted his gaze and stared at the statue, the soaring spirit cultivated in his twenty years of asylum was surging in his heart.
The most firm belief in my heart fluctuated so violently that it immediately inspired the stigmata!
Stick it!
The palm of his left hand split open by itself, resembling a nail mark, and blood flowed out. Then the same injury appeared on the palm of the right hand!
Of course, how many stigmata appear and where the stigmata are located are all random and have nothing to do with the degree of faith.
What is linked to the degree of belief is pain.
"Fortunately, for the sake of the mission, this degree of pain can be ignored." Wu Yunmo muttered.
"How is it?" Catherine asked.
Wu Yunmo resisted the severe pain in his palm and said: "The boot is too fast...it doesn't take a second."
Everyone smiled, and it turned out to be a success!
This stigmata effect actually fooled the computer god. It seems that the so-called superficial worship is not just a distortion of the mind, but a real transformation of a person's belief in something into other beliefs.
It's just that in the past, things like beliefs couldn't be collected and recorded realistically, they could only be felt on the surface, so I thought it was a kind of spiritual distortion.
Nowadays, there are derivatives such as computer gods who collect belief as a substantial resource, which truly proves the effect, which is to 'translate' a belief from the surface to the inner other beliefs.
"Download speed...1280Mb/s..." After a while, Wu Yunmo said.
Master Gou smiled and said, "This is definitely beyond the piety of a citizen!"
The computer projected by the statue has a bandwidth of 10G. According to the information Andy knows, there is no such person among the citizens.
Andy's parents only have a download speed of 11Mb/s, while a wealthy citizen nearby is said to have 50Mb/s.
But compared with Wu Yunmo, they are still far behind. Neither is of an order of magnitude.
According to their speculation, the priest's standard may be able to increase the computer **** to gigabit bandwidth, that is, 125Mb/s.
And Wu Yunmo actually has 1280!
