The same goes for belief, worship and contagion, as well as suspicion, suspicion and fear. It seems that ordinary people will naturally follow the public trend and follow what others say. With this talent, people often easily believe what others say, but find it difficult to firm up their own ideas and opinions. Belief, the idea of following the majority is deeply rooted in everyone's genes.
A few days ago, Lu Zhiyu stood outside the window and could see a large number of civilians from Pusut City outside the earthen fort. They came in groups and knelt down under his residence as if to meet him. A large number of nobles and wealthy businessmen came just to receive blessings from him, but Anke blocked them.
A few days later, the outside of the window became deserted. The believers who had come as if they were pilgrims dispersed like smoke. Not only that, but the people in the castle who worshiped Lu Zhiyu so much and respected them like gods also began to He cast a suspicious look at Lu Zhiyu.
Many people pointed at Lu Zhiyu in the dark and talked about it. Just like the rumors that Lu Zhiyu was a messenger of the gods and left behind miracles, there were a lot of unfavorable messages in the city that were unfavorable to Lu Zhiyu.
On the third floor of the earthen castle, Lu Zhiyu was flipping through the books gently. On the other side, he was recording and drawing lines on a parchment scroll. The structural diagram on the parchment scroll was exactly Eva's body structure diagram, covering On the parchment scroll on the table, there are dense notes on Eva's body structure data and places to pay attention to.
Lu Zhiyu recently hopes to further improve Eva's alchemical life form. She is the first extraordinary metal alchemy life form, but she still has very obvious weaknesses in her body structure.
Moreover, Lu Zhiyu also wanted to use this to deduce the reasons for the formation of alchemical life forms, the reasons for the formation of consciousness and wisdom in the metal cell brain, and why Lu Zhiyu has never succeeded again except Eva.
Eva waits quietly by Lu Zhiyu's side. If there is no need and other than taking care of Lu Zhiyu's life, she usually won't do anything extra. Lu Zhiyu even suspects that if she is not around, she will I won't just sit down like this until the end of time.
Eva suddenly spoke up, which was rare: "Master, don't worry about them? They seem to be talking bad about you, Master, in private!"
Lu Zhiyu didn't even look back, lowered his head and said, "Don't pay attention to them, they are just ordinary people who follow other people's ideas and listen to rumors."
Eva continued: "Sedicis came to me yesterday and told me, master, to be careful. There are currently messages that are bad for you in the city. It is very likely that someone will be bad for you, but he and his master Anke are unconditional. Trust you."
Lu Zhiyu raised his head in amazement: "Believe me? What do you believe in me? I never said who I was or where I came from, nor did I admit that I was the person they imagined. They just believed in me. ?”
"As for what happened in the city!"
After Lu Zhiyu finished speaking, he paused, looked out the window, and said with a teasing and amused expression: "Don't worry, they are going to launch a general attack on me soon!"
Within a few days, strange events occurred in the city of Pusut. Ordinary people in the city were killed one after another. The heart of each dead person was dug out. The method of death was horrifying and terrifying. In this city with tens of thousands of people, In the city with the largest population, it immediately caused a strong sensation.
"Their souls were devoured by the devil!"
"This man has been unable to enter the kingdom of death."
"His soul is cursed and he will be tormented by the evil god forever."
On the street, the businessman who was watching the body being carried away covered with white cloth said with a pale face that the heart has a special meaning in the Batko area. People believe that their souls exist in the heart.

"It was the villains of the evil god who ate their hearts!"
"The monster is still in the city. He is targeting everyone. It may be you, it may be you, it may be you!"
"We have to find this monster!"
And some thoughtful people took advantage of this opportunity to spread all kinds of ill-intentioned remarks.
"Why hasn't this kind of thing happened before?" Someone said inadvertently among the discussions in the streets.
Immediately, someone seemed to have been enlightened and realized something: "It's that person. This has happened since that person entered the city of Pusut."
Afterwards, a series of unfavorable remarks about Lu Zhiyu became noisy in the city: "Yes, he has been hiding in the castle and refused to come out. There must be an ulterior secret in the castle."
"He is carrying out an evil plan. He is an evil spirit sent by the evil god!"
At this time, a priest from the Desert Temple walked out of the square and announced angrily on the square: "The great God of the Desert has sent down an oracle. He told his spokesman on the earth, High Priest Hatton, that that person is not They are not messengers of gods, but blasphemers who use the name of gods to blaspheme gods."
The square in front of the temple was crowded with people. Many people had already received the news and gathered here.

If we cannot stop him, the city of Psut will be plunged into darkness. And shrouded in death, all of our souls will fall into the kingdom of evil gods and suffer eternal torment.”

"The high priest is here!"
"Lord Hatton!"
"It's Lord Hatton!"
