Chapter 8 Surveillance
The next day.

Amid the faint calls outside the door, Chen Fan opened his sleepy eyes with difficulty.

At first glance, he saw the portrait of the goddess reflected in the morning sun. The deity under the sun exuded a faint sense of holiness.

But Chen Fan didn't have much reverence in his eyes.

On the contrary, when he thought about his fate a month later, the resentment in his eyes was so strong that it almost started to water!

[It seems that this world is still in the era of worshiping gods. 】

A soft electronic synthesized sound suddenly sounded in his mind: [This is indeed quite rare. According to the records of the People's Federation, very few civilizations still believe in the existence of gods after initially mastering electricity-related technologies. 】

The sudden electronic synthesized sound startled Chen Fan, and completely dispelled the remaining sleepiness in his eyes.

He sat up from the bed suddenly. It wasn't until he saw the half of the robotic arm lying on the concrete floor that he suddenly came back to his senses and remembered a series of things that happened last night that were beyond ordinary people's understanding.

"one?"

Chen Fan shouted tentatively in a low voice.

If he remembered correctly, this was the name of that smart terminal.

To be precise, this is the name of the artificial intelligence inside the smart terminal.

[Stop shouting, it was me talking in your mind just now, and those things last night were not your hallucinations. 】

Chen Fan subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, took out the palm of his right hand from the quilt, put it in the sun and looked at it carefully.

Judging from the naked eye, the palm of his right hand is still the same as usual, with slightly raised veins on the bronze skin that glows with light blood in the sun.

But this is just appearance.

As Chen Fan's thoughts moved slightly, a thin layer of silver-white metal-like substance quickly emerged on the surface of his palm.

This is the essence of the smart terminal: a glove.

This glove-type smart wearable device made of unknown materials, while ensuring comfort and real touch, also has extremely strong material strength and can easily resist conventional physical attacks - at least that's what [1] said .

On the palm and back of the glove, there is a gem-like substance inlaid in each.

According to [1], these two gem-like substances are the core components of smart terminals and are also the strongest components.

Not to mention conventional physical attacks, even if it is thrown onto the surface of a neutron star, it can still ensure the integrity of its own structure!
Although Chen Fan still has reservations about the above statement, no matter what, this smart terminal that looks like a glove is definitely the most high-end smart wearable device he has ever worn in his life.

Chen Fan shook his head, dispelling the messy thoughts in his mind, and focused on the information mentioned just now.

"One, you just said you are superstitious about gods..."

"What do you mean, there are no real gods in this world?"

Yi did not answer Chen Fan's words, but asked a question: "What do you think is God?" 】

Hearing this question, Chen Fan was stunned and didn't know how to answer for a while.

After much hesitation, he answered in an uncertain tone: "A life form with powerful power?"

The soft electronic synthesized sound sounded in my heart again: [A smallest human fleet can easily destroy a normal-sized river system. 】

[Even a weak individual weapon is enough to turn a planet into endless cosmic dust. 】

[According to your standards, the People’s League should be the god in your mouth. 】

The corners of Chen Fan's eyes twitched slightly.

After a moment of silence, he said again: "Then... gods should be creatures that have mastered the rules of the universe, such as..."

【Genesis. 】

[The People's Alliance's most powerful law weapon can annihilate an entire universe if it has sufficient energy. It can also rewrite the underlying physical and mathematical laws of the universe to create a brand new universe. 】

Chen Fan was speechless.

[Since the development of the People's Federation, there are countless universes of different sizes under its jurisdiction, but so far no so-called gods have been discovered. 】

[Of course, this does not mean that civilization cannot believe in gods. 】

[In the Federation of People, there are many advanced civilizations that have their own beliefs, even though they themselves have power far beyond the gods. ] Chen Fan nodded thoughtfully.

Inspired by [1]’s words, a chilling suspicion emerged in his mind:

If the gods of this world are real, will they just be a civilization that has mastered more advanced technology?
"Dong dong dong."

Mother's urging voice came from outside the door again: "Xiao Fan?"

"coming!"

Chen Fan calmed down, put away the unfounded suspicions in his heart, got up and walked towards the door.

In the process of getting up, the silver-white smart terminal on his right hand also disappeared.

……

More than ten minutes later.

Under the guidance of his mother, Chen Fan completed the daily "check-in" prayer work in front of the statue in a meticulous manner.

"mom."

Just when his mother was about to stand up from the futon, Chen Fan shouted, "I want to ask you something."

Mother knelt down on the futon again and turned to look at Chen Fan in surprise.

Chen Fan considered it carefully, and then whispered: "You told me last night...that I was going to church to study today?"

Seeing his mother nodding in affirmation, Chen Fan appropriately showed a bit of confusion on his face:

"But I remember... isn't this something tomorrow?"

The mother was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously retorted: "How is that possible?"

"I remember it very clearly, today."

"You told me a few days ago..."

"Today at 12 noon, the church deacon will pick you up to study in the church."

Got it right!

But the next second, the joy that had just appeared in Chen Fan's eyes completely solidified in an instant.

There is no other reason.

The words just now were not spoken by my mother!

Chen Fan raised his head stiffly and looked at the high statue. The extremely stiff electronic synthesized sound seemed to still be echoing in his ears.

Without him taking the initiative to ask questions, the statue spoke again!
Beside him, just like last night, his mother was already kneeling on the ground, muttering words of thanks to God.

At this moment, what his mother said last night suddenly came to his mind:

'You are God's chosen one, and God is always watching over you. '

At first, he subconsciously thought that this sentence was just a religious rhetoric.

Only now did he truly understand that this sentence was a true portrayal!
Chen Fan once again felt the refreshing chill last night.

The chill was so intense that even the morning sun that shone on him through the living room window couldn't dispel it!
He is watching him! !

This idea grew rapidly in Chen Fan's mind, like a pair of strong hands, tightly strangling his throat!
With his heart beating violently, Chen Fan's breathing began to become rapid!

[Chen Fan, calm down! 】

A soft electronic synthesized sound sounded in his mind, interrupting Chen Fan's almost unbridled thoughts: [This machine recommends that you don't think too much. It's just a statue made by a low-level civilization. It's no big deal. 】

"Xiao Fan?"

On the side, his mother also noticed something strange about Chen Fan and cast a confused look at him:
"what happened to you?"
