I changed the timeline with the game.

Chapter 673: Created, cursed life!
Qin followed him.
He quickly explained to everyone what happened after nightfall.

just,

Because the amount of information is too huge.

After listening to it, most people showed a similar state of stagnation and shutdown as Miss Joyce once did.

In this closed steampunk world, many people thought that the executioner, who was known for his extreme irritability and moodiness, would always be the one hanging over everyone's head.

but now,
The executioner is no longer alive.

Even his hideous head was stuck on the steel pillar.

Like:

Just like the countless people he had executed.

After a brief shock, the survivors began to whisper.

They couldn't believe this fact and didn't even know why this happened.

Perhaps because of deep-seated fears, some people even begin to feel uneasy:
"That adult will die too?"

however,
While everyone was discussing,

A crisp voice broke the silence.

That was the miner girl standing on the other side of the scholar. She raised the pickaxe in her hand, with a determined light flashing in her eyes.

The girl's face, which was slightly stained with dust, was not smiling, but rather a little angry:

“That executioner is not our lord at all, and he is not worthy of our respect.

They're just monsters!

Have you all forgotten:
Could he really forget the painful expressions on his friends and sisters' faces when they were executed and tortured to death by him? !
I can't forget,

I’ll never forget it!”

Although her voice was not as loud as the bell just now, it was particularly powerful.
The entire execution ground fell silent.

Everyone was shocked by her words, as if they were hit by an invisible force.

They began to re-examine their previous thoughts and ideas and realized that the executioner was not what they imagined.

just,

The thoughts of many cowards probably cannot be changed in an instant.

Su Wen is very clear about this:
Too many people had been 'tamed', and he had discussed this with Miss Krosan in the Dawn system.

The doctor said slowly through the video function of the Dawn system:
"The idea of domestication in psychology is primarily due to B.F. Skinner.

He is a US federal psychologist and the founder of the new behaviorist learning theory.
In Science and Human Behavior, Skinner introduced operant conditioning.

His domestication ideas are mainly reflected in his reinforcement principle, which attempts to explain and predict human behavior and emphasizes the role of acquired environmental conditions in shaping the behavior of organisms.

And Blood Moon uses this method in addition to controlling the Abyss."

in other words,

Even if Miss Miner is willing to speak out, it may not necessarily have any effect.

He also understood that Joyce said these words simply because he didn't want everything he did to be in vain.

Miss Miner is very simple.
But at this moment she chose to stand firmly by Su Wen's side.

at the same time,

It seemed as if the strange voice from before suddenly reappeared in her ears:
[Soldier No. RERS78162]

[Current status: Temporary commander authority has been activated]

[Authorization mode: emergency command, non-fixed chain of command]

【Psychological status monitoring:
Stable, showing high concentration and decisiveness]

Tactical capability assessment:
Excellent personal tactical ability, below average intelligence, and excellent individual tactical analysis and decision-making ability]

[Unknown data source access: identification, activation signal for temporary 'soldier' commander authority]

[Soldier No. RERS78162 temporary commander authority has been successfully activated,
Command sequence is being synchronized.]

[Note: This authority is granted temporarily. Please use it with caution when necessary and be ready to hand it over to the official commander at any time.]

What the hell are these?

I don't understand!
She felt a little uncomfortable, so she shook her head vigorously.

She hoped to drive away the voice, but Su Wen was not fooled by her action.

The handsome scholar gently asked Joyce:

"what happened?"

"I am fine."

The girl shook her head, and although it was a little reluctant, she began to force a smile.

Because ever since the [Temporary Commander] authority appeared, she felt that she could occasionally see some strange things.

"I may have just lost too much blood."

But even if Joyce didn't think too much about it, Su Wen, who had experienced so many things, would not easily ignore this matter.

He felt something vaguely.
So he gently rubbed the miner's short hair:

"Do not worry."

In his opinion,

Whatever happened to Joyce, the answers to her sudden problems may soon be revealed.

"right now,
We should deal with those 'Miss Nuns' as you call them."

He walked into the inner room with calm steps.

In the dim house.

Six or seven nuns were tied up tightly with rough ropes. Their hands were handcuffed behind their backs and their feet were tied together, making them unable to move.

Su Wen was also a little surprised to see that this rope bondage was actually quite professional;
"Did you do this?"

I heard him ask.

The three-no girl raised her hand expressionlessly.

But I think it's her.

After all, Qin is more timid.
Even if she witnessed the truth, she probably wouldn't be able to actually take action against those nuns.

now,

The nuns were being ruthlessly locked in the house, and the air around them seemed to be filled with depression and despair.

Their originally calm faces now had distorted expressions.
As the door opened, they focused their hateful gazes on the handsome scholar outside the door.

But no matter how resentful the eyes are,
Su Wen's face remained calm as he simply asked:
"You are not affected by the blood pact? You didn't die with the executioner.

So it seems?

you,

Could he also be a member of the Cursed Children?"

Hearing his inference, Joyce's clear eyes showed a hint of incomprehensible shock.

"is this real?

Why? ! "

And hearing her say this,
A nun who seemed to be the leader had a hint of sarcasm on her face, and her eyes were flashing with madness and persistence. She finally spoke:
"Do you know why the Child of the Curse cannot ascend spiritually?"

Her voice was hoarse and shrill.
Like it was squeezed out from deep in the throat.

The miner girl wanted to say something about this question, but Su Wen put his hand in front of her, stopping her from wanting to confront him.

Then,

The handsome scholar nodded slightly, indicating that he was willing to listen.

"Psychic energy ascends,
That is the sublimation of the life level, transcending the boundaries of mortals and entering a higher level of existence.

It represents greater strength and a longer life.”

The nun's voice was full of desire and longing.

Then,

Her eyes suddenly became fierce:

"but,
As children of the curse, we are beings cursed by gods and the Creator!

We don’t deserve this ability at all!
