Black Soul Invasion

Chapter 45 Savior

With the help of the masters of Kama Taj, the hearts of the people calmed down and were replaced by ignited fires one by one.

If the post-disaster compensation, rescue plan, and special hardship allowance promised by the capitalists like Tony are a material pie, then the flame belief brought by the mages is a spiritual pie.

Obviously, people need both material and spiritual needs, which is a bit difficult to serve.

But mages are also good at flickering. As the saying goes, long-term illness makes a doctor. They were fooled by various demon gods every day before, and those who have not fallen have more or less learned a little.In layman's terms, it means that those who have experienced temptation are more aware of people's inner desires.

Cold?Fire will bring you warmth.

Hate the cold?Fire will drive away the winter.

Under the packaging of oriental philosophy, the flame belief spreads quickly.Of course, this is also related to the current environment. After all, it is freezing outside, and the dancing flames can really make people feel at ease.

Do you have other beliefs?That's okay, the flame embraces everything, and whether you believe it or not, it's there, welcoming you when you come and seeing you off when you leave.In a word, anyway, no money, more or less trust.

This "doesn't matter" attitude made other religious people breathe a sigh of relief, and they didn't want to have another powerful colleague because of this disaster.However, seeing that the mages do not spread their beliefs, nor preach their teachings, and only introduce Chuhuo to everyone through some short stories when someone asks them, they gradually feel relieved.

Hmph, what about the Sun King, what about the Ancient Dragon War, they are not compassionate enough, just like third-rate Hollywood fantasy dramas.Moreover, Chuhuo was born in a tree hole, and was divided up by a bunch of people. This is so low, it's far worse than our gods who created the world!
Putting aside the disdain of these people for the time being, the belief in flames has gradually become popular in the major refuges. People often pray to the flames. There is no specific form, and there are no sacred prayers. There is only a sincere desire to become better. .

"It's really amazing." Dum said in the chat group: "It's just a kind of illusory spiritual sustenance, which can restore calm to the restless people."

"I think it's the power of genes." Norman is committed to developing the potential of the human body, and he has a lot of research in this area: "Human development has never left the flame, whether it is driving away beasts in ancient times, or cooking food in modern society , flames are closely related to human life, providing psychological expectations such as shelter, safety, and warmth. This kind of feedback has become a habit and is engraved in genes. Humans can be said to be the only animal that is not afraid of flames , Without anyone to stop them, young children can even learn the game of 'playing with fire' without a teacher, and chasing flames has obviously become a special instinct."

"Instinct?" Tony smacked his mouth and said, "No, I didn't play with fire when I was young."

"But you make weapons." Dum said mercilessly: "Modern weapons are inseparable from explosions and flames. It's not that you don't play with fire, you just play at a higher level."

Tony was speechless for a while: "OKOK, I agree with Mr. Osborne's theory, human beings are all slaves of flames. Professor, if your subordinates hadn't been exposed, I wouldn't have known that you secretly created a religion. Why, do you mutants believe this?"

"Uh, well, probably, we don't engage in coercion, it's all voluntary." Professor X was watching the screen, and suddenly a shit bowl was buckled up. The saddest thing is that he still can't refute, and he feels a little uncomfortable.

In fact, not only outsiders misunderstood, but even our own people misunderstood.The children of Xavier School for Gifted Teenagers were unfortunately recruited. They also thought that the mages were mutants and Professor X's secret army.The so-called what is good at the top must be good at the bottom. Whether it is out of respect for the principal or love for the leader, these little kids have also transformed themselves, calling themselves believers in the first fire, and often show their respect to other children in a serious manner.

But the little iceman cried a lot because he felt that his ability to make ice was incompatible with the flame, and Chuhuo must hate him.

Since Qin and Storm were fighting against natural phenomena outside, Professor X had no choice but to go out in person. He comforted the Iceman with the stories he heard: "You should know that flames not only give birth to light and darkness, life and death, but also heat." And cold. Remember, you are unique, and Chuhuo will never hate you, nor anyone else."

"Unique?" Iceman's eyes suddenly brightened, and he stopped crying. He bowed to Professor X and said, "Thank you Professor, I feel much better. You really deserve to be the archbishop of Chuhuo!"

archbishop?When did I become archbishop?

Professor X was stupefied, feeling that there were already enough lice on his head to drag his family down.

Another two days passed, and it was now the sixth day of the superstorm. .

The old, the weak, the sick, and the disabled were sent away through the portals of the mages. With the addition of relief supplies, the pressure on the refuge was greatly reduced. After eating and drinking enough, they were free, and people naturally began to think about Xia Jiba.

All kinds of rumors and gossip spread, and Professor X and the others couldn't care less about it. After all, since the birth of language, gossip has been the most cost-effective form of entertainment in human society.Among these gossips, the one with the strongest response and the largest number of people discussing is the story of the "savior".

"Professor, have you announced the news about that person?" Tony asked in the chat group.

Professor X shook his head: "No."

"Then why are people talking about 'savior' all of a sudden?" Doom asked.

Professor X continued to shake his head: "I don't know."

Norman suddenly said: "I know, it's because of the flame belief. In this belief, there is a saying about the first fire creating the world and dispelling cold and darkness. In this special environment, people unconsciously personify this saying, So the story of the savior was born. Simply put, people desperately hope that the disaster will end and be saved by a superhero from the sky."

"Superheroes? Those guys in the comics who wear fancy costumes and fly around in the sky?" Tony shuddered: "Just thinking about it makes me feel ashamed!"

Professor X was about to thank Norman for his support, but in the next second Norman asked, "Professor, didn't you secretly instigate this?"

Professor X was stunned. You can’t always forget that I have a shit bowl on my head. Although I’m already bald, don’t you see that the lice on my head are all four generations old?

The clay figurine is still three-point hot, and the veteran master is a little upset: "Why do you ask?"

"For the sake of stability." Dum took the topic: "It's rare for the shelter to restore its balance. Holding such unrealistic fantasies but never being able to realize them, the people under the despair will definitely collapse again, resulting in greater and more intense turmoil."

Professor X said: "Of course I know there is no savior, and I didn't send anyone to spread such rumors. But what I want to say is that that person will come back, and people's expectations are not meaningless!"

"Professor, recognize the reality." Norman said, "I thank you and the mutants for their contributions in this catastrophe, but I really don't think that person will come back, and even if he does, he may not be able to bring him back. Something that heats the ocean currents. To be honest, I even think that person is a figment of your imagination, maybe you are too stressed, we can understand."

"Yes, professor, we don't blame you." Tony also chimed in and said, "We are very grateful to you, but science will not lie, impossible is impossible. I have asked someone to purchase materials from outside, and I am going to An arc reactor is installed in the shelter to provide energy. I am not pessimistic, but I have seen satellite cloud images, and I think this severe cold will never end in a short time, and we must be prepared for a long-term struggle. Therefore, Don't put too much pressure on yourself, and don't put too much pressure on people, stop talking about the savior, as long as we work together, we will definitely get through this difficult time!"

Professor X: "..."

You guys have finished talking about the good and the bad, so what the hell can I say?
Okay, anyway, the refuge has stabilized, and I'm too lazy to worry about these shitty things anymore, so what do you guys like, let's read the playbook on a donkey, we'll see.

The old master was really a little angry, and decided to dive with peace of mind and stop bubbling, and Tony and others also began to control speech in the refuge, emphasizing to the public that there is no savior, and they need to work together if they want to tide over the difficulties , Self-improvement will do.

Seeing that the mages did not refute, people accepted this reality helplessly.I'm a bit lost, but I can't talk about despair. It can only be said that the legend of the savior has appeared for too short a time, and it has not yet reached the level of popular support.

Tony and the others breathed a sigh of relief, feeling lucky and proud. Thanks to them cutting off the bud in time, the upheaval was resolved invisibly.

In this way, people ushered in the seventh day after the disaster.

In the early morning, people who routinely turned on the TV were surprised to find that a beam of light pierced the thick dark clouds!
People were stunned, is the sun coming out?Disaster over?

Beast Hank hastily adjusted the focus of the camera, and then people saw a clearer image.

The man who controls the fire dragon stands out from the colorful beams of light, and with a wave of his hand, a flame is ignited!
The savior, come!
