Su Ming awkwardly asked.
Ao Ji’s face turned very pale upon hearing Su Ming’s words, and he hurriedly reached out to cover Su Ming’s mouth, speaking in terror.
"You cannot directly call the God’s na, it’s a grave sin and you’ll be sent to the Heresy Court."
Su Ming replied helplessly after hearing Ao Ji’s words.
"I won’t say it."
"Phew."
Ao Ji breathed a small sigh of relief and slowly released his hand.
At this mont, the clock rang again, and all the kneeling believers began to pray silently, muttering sothing under their breaths.
"Bless the leader to recover health soon."
Ao Ji prayed softly.
Su Ming was a bit moved upon hearing Ao Ji’s words, surprised that he didn’t pray for bread.
Ao Ji felt Su Ming watching him at this mont, so he turned to look at Su Ming with confusion.
"Leader, have you finished praying?"
"Yes, sincerity is the key, one prayer is enough."
"The leader makes a good point."
"Ao Ji, I want to ask, are you living well?"
Su Ming asked very seriously.
"I don’t know if it’s good or not."
Ao Ji replied, feeling a bit at a loss.
"Can you go to school?"
"What is school?"
"Can you eat enough?"
Su Ming asked with a gloomy face.
"No, we’ve never had enough to eat, many people have starved to death. However, as long as we devoutly worship the God, we can receive the God’s blessing, and we can live in surface cities and have a good life! Many people have been chosen by the God and have successfully moved to the surface."
Ao Ji showed a longing expression as he spoke.
After hearing Ao Ji’s words, Su Ming’s face grew darker, what is being chosen by the God?
This is clearly brainwashing them, even if so have been chosen, those people are just obedient tools.
The Heavenly Revelation Divine Country is using faith to rule, moreover, the ruling is a complete ss.
The situation with Ao Ji and others is frankly similar to that of the Dark Star Empire, even worse in so sense.
At least the lower class in the Dark Star Empire has a tiny bit of upward mobility.
Here it’s purely brainwashed slaves, not even counted as people, with no chance to rise, just nourishnt and consumables being extracted.
If it were another country, no matter how badly governed, Su Ming wouldn’t mind, as it has nothing to do with him.
But these people are ruling in his na, it’s just a ss.
Not only violating his original want to create a fair and just world, but even worse than the Federation’s governance.
At least in the Federation, there’s a al, and the lower class can receive basic education. Though the Federation is unfair, there is still a bit of human rights; conflicts between upper and lower classes also take the law into consideration.
Here, there is no human rights.
Furthermore, these people are descendants of his followers, thinking of this fills Su Ming’s heart with murderous intent.
"Leader, what’s wrong?"
Ao Ji saw that Su Ming seed to have turned into a different person, asking fearfully.
"It’s nothing."
Su Ming took a deep breath and replied.
The bell rang again, and the guards responsible for overseeing impatiently began to drive people away.
"Prayer is over, everyone imdiately leave the square!"
...
Everyone got up and left.
Ao Ji also helped Su Ming, walking ho.
...
Not long after, Ao Ji helped Su Ming back ho.
Jieva and others saw them return and imdiately ca up, angrily rebuking.
"Ao Ji, how could you take the leader out, if discovered it would be over."
"Um...."
Ao Ji was temporarily unsure how to reply.
"Stop scolding, I asked him to take out."
Su Ming calmly said.
Upon hearing Su Ming say this, Jieva and others quickly explained.
"Leader, your body hasn’t healed, please lie down and rest quickly."
"Okay."
Su Ming lay back down on the bed with Ao Ji’s help.
Jieva and others stood awkwardly aside, not knowing whether to stand or sit.
Su Ming looked at Jieva and others, pondered for a while before asking.
"Jieva, do you have long-distance communication equipnt here?"
"No."
Jieva shook his head and replied.
"Then do you have transport ships here?"
Su Ming imdiately asked.
"No, we’re regulated here, can’t go anywhere. We can only stay in our residential area and mine area; other places are off-limits, at least 100 lashes if caught."
Jieva shook his head and replied.
Upon hearing Jieva’s words, Su Ming felt a headache; this place has nothing, it seems he can only first heal his wounds.
Su Ming’s stomach grumbled once again at this mont.
Jieva looked at Ao Ji suspiciously.
"Ao Ji, didn’t you feed the leader?"
"I did, but I really couldn’t eat it."
Su Ming replied helplessly.
"But leader, you can’t go without eating, your injuries won’t heal."
Jieva said to Su Ming.
"I know."
Thinking of the stuff made from Corpse Powder makes Su Ming’s stomach turn.
Jieva suddenly thought of sothing and imdiately said to Su Ming.
"Leader, I have a way, wait a mont."
Su Ming looked at Jieva in confusion, seeing him run to a corner, dig up a stone, and take out a rusty box.
Jieva brought the box to Su Ming, then opened it, revealing a dried mouse, sincerely saying.
"Leader, eat at, it’s my treasured dried mouse."
"Thank you!"
Looking at the dried mouse in the box, Su Ming felt very reluctant, but he was extrely hungry now, and his body needed nutrition, so he could only pick up the dried mouse and start eating.
On the side, Ao Ji and others watched Su Ming eating the dried mouse and kept swallowing their saliva.
This is their most precious food; normally, they are reluctant to eat even a bite.
At this mont, Su Ming noticed their gazes, feeling full of guilt, and swallowed the last bite including the head.
