Yuwei politely declined the "thank you gift" of Si Jiao.

Even through the cloak, you can feel the puzzled look from the Sect.

The Ji God relies on faith activities, and the Platinum Ji God can accept faith, which means that this is also its motivation.

If that's the case, why refuse?

But Yuwei did not explain to him.

He just looked out of the temple, stared at the people who kept praying, and spoke slowly:

"This kind of faith is too cruel."

“It’s too numb, too depressing.”

Yuwei said: "This is not possible."

Si Jiao seemed confused, but he still asked Yu Wei humbly: "Which aspect do you mean?"

"If there are any aspects that can be improved, you can feel free to propose, and the Control Bureau will think about it."

Yu Wei turned around and stared at the other person's eyes:

"You have made the whole city foolish and let them sacrifice, and they even accept it with it."

Yuwei expressed his thoughts.

What he cared about was not faith itself, but the Gillis City-state turned people into foolish prayer machines for the sake of the purity of faith.

Then, teach these prayer machines to sacrifice so that they can regard extreme behavior as daily in extreme circumstances.

Such city-state culture made Yuwei frown.

He frowned at this, which surprised the Sect:

"Is this what you care about?"

He seemed a little confused: "Didn't your city-state do this?"

Yuwei looked at him without saying a word.

This made Si Jiao even more confused.

He looked at the preacher outside Yuwei, but the Dawu team shook their heads and looked at Yuwei.

Obviously, they all let Yuwei speak and decide.

Si Jiao shook his head, but quietly sent a signal.

After sending this signal, Si Jiao looked at the hero who suddenly became "unreasonable" and explained seriously:

"We can't build a city-state like this."

He became very patient, and while asking the masses to continue praying, he said to Yuwei in detail:

"This city-state is the most chaotic, weakest and most dangerous borderland of the Starba Empire."

"It's still good now, it's countless times worse than it is now." A light flashed behind the Si Jiao's cloak, revealing a look of reminiscence.

"A hundred years ago, there were not enough people in the city-state of Gillis, and even fewer people maintained their devout faith. The power of faith that could provide to Ji Shen was very insufficient."

"This thin faith has caused the power of Ji Shen to weaken and cannot perfectly block the monster."

"Whenever the city-state is attacked and many people die, even if they successfully attack the monsters, they often require a huge sacrifice to burn the devout believers."

Speaking of this, his tone was filled with sadness:

"In this way, the proportion of faith is gradually decreasing. If you think too complicatedly, people will even blame Ji Shen for his failure, and the extreme faith will turn into resentment."

"Without faith, the Ji God will have no power and cannot compete with the monsters. The next attack will only be worse."

"In the end, we copied a large number of citizens, most of whom taught them pious from birth, and a small number of whom were educated to govern, think, manage, and gather a richer soul."

What we are talking about here is ordinary citizens, as well as the "control bureau" and guards who maintain order.

He told Yu Wei seriously: "The city-state today has been built with sacrifices and struggles through generations of sacrifices."

Yu Wei looked at him seriously, her eyes seemed to pass through the black robe, and saw the face of Si Jiao hiding below.

He asked, "Including your own sacrifice?"

Si Jiao shook his head and was a little surprised: "Did you see it?"

"Since you can see it, you can probably understand it."

He smiled bitterly: "We are a group of old antiques, all of which are the products of the era of the old city-state."

"At that time, everyone had not yet lived by dogma. If you want others to sacrifice, you must at least give yourself to yourself."

He pointed at himself and pointed at the men in black next to him.

Si Jiao lifted his cloak and showed it to Yuwei:

"There is no choice but to sacrifice everything."

The so-called "Si Jiao" is just a fragment.

The high-level "control bureau" of Gillis City-State has only a psychic brain, and the sect is no less.

Exposed from under the cloak is a mechanical body.

A large amount of gold and iron were pieced together into a broken human form, with only the light of the soul flashing in the eyes.

The preacher's eyes narrowed, and he glanced further away from the appearance, and saw the chaotic soul aura of the "Si Jiao".

He is not an independent existence at all, but more like an existence bonded to a large number of souls.

Yuwei looked at each of his parts seriously.

When we first met, Yuwei understood what "Si Jiao" was.

He can't even be called a "person", he is just a component driven by force.

His existence, like "divine power", is also a product of the soul furnace.

But "divine power" is the light and heat burned from the soul furnace, but it is the residue left in the furnace.

The soul can burn into ether only the purest part of faith.

The other parts of the score "self", "memory", and "feelings" will only condense and fall by the furnace.

These "soul residues" that are not completely burned cannot continue to burn, but are just useless impurities.

But Gillis City State is very poor, so of course this kind of thing cannot be wasted.

What's more, among these residues, there were once the wisest leaders and scholars of the city-state.

They are very wise, so faith does not occupy much in their souls, and can burn a lot of residue, which is blurred with the wisdom of their lifetime.

I don’t know which genius had a sudden inspiration to transform a little golden substance from the Ji God, and to turn it into a small robot, injecting these residues into it.

This is the "Si Jiao", the burned remaining fire is mixed with the burned ashes.

After all, it is just a memory-driven mechanism.

The Si Jiao looks able to speak and think, but it is just a conditioned reflex based on the memory of the residue.

If the judgment of artificial intelligence in this world is inevitable, it will inevitably make people wonder if his conversation is really an answer? Can his head really think? Or is it just a remnant memory fragment reaction to the outside world?

But to the scholar Si himself, he would say, "I don't care!"

Whether you are really a human being will not change what you should do.

Even if it is just a memory-driven mechanism, it is formed by countless sages and wise men, with a lofty mission and meaning of existence.

As long as you can still move and think, you must continue to move forward for the city-state.

Not only him, but the others in black are the same, they are also the remnants of those "normal thinking citizens".

In order to survive, they fought for everything.

Ji Ji thought so: "Even if you do anything!"

Yuwei looked straight into his burning eyes, and Si Jiao looked back straight.

He, and the countless men in black around him, were the "parts" that continued to contribute to the city-state after burning their souls.

Strictly speaking, he is not even an "individual", but a ball of ashes made of a large number of soul residues.

But even if it is not flammable, I believe that I can contribute to the city-state and shine and heat up elsewhere.

Therefore, in Si Jiao's eyes, there was a very gentle one, with quiet flames flowing, but the depths were indestructible.

He said with sincerity:

"Our city-state may not look good to you."

"But in suffering, the fire ignited by our bodies continues hope."

"For piety, one must be foolish."

"For future generations, we must sacrifice."

Maybe it's stupid, maybe it's stupid, but that's what it is here, the "City of Fools" built at the expense of the "City of Fools".

"It is also because of this that the Gillis City-state has existed for a hundred years."

His metallic face showed a satisfied smile:
