Chapter 2 Weirdness
Chen Fan suddenly raised his head and looked at the statue on the table with disbelief.

The idol has spoken!
That's not the most shocking thing.

To be fair, considering the environment he was in, Chen Fan believed that he could still accept the fact that the statue spoke or that the god appeared.

After all, no one can say for sure what happens in another world. What if gods really exist in this world?
What Chen Fan really couldn't accept was that a statue of a god made a stiff electronic synthesized sound, and also used extremely scientific methods to explain the superstitious claims he put forward!

Listen, is this reasonable?

Completely different from Chen Fan's reaction, the mother beside her was already beaming with joy. She knelt down in front of the statue and muttered words such as thanking the gods.

Theology and science blended with each other in a strange way and appeared in front of Chen Fan.

Worship the electronic gods and pray for cyber wishes?
At this moment, Chen Fan felt that his already shaky worldview had been shaken like never before.

"Xiao Fan!"

The mother's urging voice came: "What are you doing standing still? Why don't you thank God for his teachings?!"

As he spoke, the middle-aged woman, who was afraid of offending the gods, looked anxious and raised her hand to lightly slap Chen Fan on the shoulder.

"Snapped!"

The crisp sound interrupted Chen Fan's thoughts and brought him back to reality.

Seeing his mother's overflowing anxious expression and the faint fear hidden deep in her eyes, Chen Fan was startled and subconsciously followed his mother and bowed before the statue.

"Oh God……"

As his mother's murmur came from the side, Chen Fan, who had regained consciousness, felt an inexplicable chill coming from behind him.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to stand up, he quickly raised his head and glanced at the statue on the table.

Not only due to psychological factors but also the effects of light and shadow, in his eyes, the faint smile on the statue's face began to look weird.

……

After paying homage to the statue, it’s time for dinner.

Chen Fan, who had just had his world view washed away, was obviously not very interested in the dishes on the table.

But in order to maintain his own personality and avoid causing more disputes, he still ate the food in front of him intermittently under his mother's gaze.

Chen Fan struggled to swallow the unknown vegetable that looked like some kind of plant root in his mouth.

Feeling the faint astringent taste spreading from the base of his tongue, the detailed information about the worship of the statue just emerged in his mind one by one, and he began to analyze the hidden information in his heart.

Although his mother concealed it very well, he still noticed the deep-seated fear in his mother's bones when she paid homage to the statue.

It is conceivable that my mother's respectful attitude towards the statues may be attributed to this unexplained fear.

This obviously cannot be explained by pure religious belief - under normal circumstances, it is impossible for gods to bring fear to believers.

All living things seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and so do humans.

If gods bring only negative emotions to believers, then this belief is destined not to exist for long.

unless……

This god definitely exists in the world!

I am afraid that only real gods can firmly grasp their believers with bone-deep fear!

Thinking of this, Chen Fan suddenly felt goosebumps appearing all over his body.

He subconsciously took two mouthfuls of food from the bowl, using chewing and swallowing movements to hide the horror in his heart.

"Xiao Fan?"

Her mother looked worriedly at Chen Fan, who was sitting opposite her, and hesitated to speak: "You..."

On the one hand, she does worry about her child's mental state.

After coming out of the room, Chen Fan's behavior always made her feel a little strange, as if she was a different person.

On the other hand, she didn't want to, or dare not, pursue it in detail.

She didn't want Chen Fan to lock herself in the room again because of her doubts, not to mention... Chen Fan, who had just become the Chosen One, had a status much higher than hers. "I'm fine."

Chen Fan came back to his senses, looked at his mother and quickly looked away. He took a mouthful of food from the bowl and asked pretending not to care, "Mom, did you feel that the sound of the statue was a little strange today?"

"The sound is a little weird?" Mother frowned suddenly, as if she was recalling something.

After a while, she shook her head: "No."

"God has always had this voice." Mother repeated in a positive tone, "You must have heard it wrong!"

This sentence directly set off a storm in Chen Fan's heart!

It's always been this voice!

This means that whether it is the statue speaking or the stiff electronic synthesized voice, it is completely normal in the eyes of my mother!

Chen Fan tried his best to keep his facial expression calm, but the horror and doubt in his heart inevitably showed up in his eyes.

This little sign will naturally not escape the mother's eyes.

She frowned, as if thinking about something.

For a moment, the living room fell into an eerie silence, and Chen Fan subconsciously sped up the food.

There is obviously a big problem with the world!

If he wanted to securely obtain information about the world, he could only pin his hopes on the handwriting in the room!

The mother breathed a long sigh of relief, breaking the silence that lasted for several minutes.

"call……"

She looked at Chen Fan with soft eyes: "Xiao Fan."

"You have just become the Chosen One, so it is normal to feel stressed."

"There is still a lot of time before the next divine selection ceremony. You can slowly adjust your state and relax."

The mother's voice paused slightly, and after a moment of hesitation she said again: "Those words just now..."

"I just pretended that I didn't hear it, and you also forgot about those words that were against the gods."

"otherwise……"

The mother sighed and did not continue.

Chen Fan looked solemn.

Although he didn't know what the divine selection ceremony his mother was talking about was, but thinking of the weird scenes before, he thought from the bottom of his heart that this would not be a good thing.

While nodding in agreement, Chen Fan's sense of crisis increased again.

……

After dinner, Chen Fan walked into his room again under the gaze of his mother.

The wooden door slowly closed, blocking the mother's worried gaze and the somewhat strange atmosphere brought by the statue in the living room.

The room was dark. Chen Fan took a few deep breaths, and his tense nerves seemed to relax.

He raised his slightly trembling hands, lowered his eyes, and imitated his mother's movements in praying: "Lord, please give light to the world..."

A dim yellow light burst out above the head, tearing apart the darkness in the room with unrivaled momentum.

Oh, damn it’s still in voice control mode.

Chen Fan tugged at the corner of his mouth weakly and sighed in his heart as if he was having fun.

There is no doubt that human beings yearn for light.

But this light did not bring any comfort or warmth to Chen Fan.

On the contrary, as the incandescent lights turned on, the slightly distant sense of crisis and oppression swept over again!

Chen Fan suddenly held his breath - right in front of him, the god was looking down at him from above!
