Chapter 244
Wu Pifu brought the listless Jiujiu and Daphne into the city. Upon entering, he discovered that the entire city was not only very large but also very tidy. If it weren't for the fact that the citizens and residents inside were almost all skin and bones, the city itself actually possessed some atmosphere of civilization.
However, seeing the serf-like residents filling the city, the less than one-thousandth of the population that was plump and wealthy, and those monks who were raised to be white and fat, Wu Pifu's impression of the city's grandeur was left with nothing but disgust.
(Slavery? Or a caste system?)
Wu Pifu looked at the tidy streets and the completely mismatched serf-like crowd. For this completely exotic ancient civilization, he had no idea where to start.
What was the currency, what were the inns, what were the restaurants, what were the government agencies, and how to track the whereabouts and purpose of the First Singularity Company's chairman—he was completely blind and had no idea how to get started.
(As expected, I still need a teammate who is an intellectual lead or has management capabilities. Xu Shilan...)
Wu Pifu naturally thought of Xu Shilan in his mind. She had intelligence and was undoubtedly a character proficient in various management skills. Especially, she was a good woman with a very good figure, and in terms of size, she definitely wouldn't lose to Daphne's current appearance.
Thinking about it, Wu Pifu also thought of Hao Cheng, who had the unknown title of Zhang Heng. Of course, he definitely didn't have any thoughts about this pseudo-girl, but thought of Hao Cheng's captain, who was also a maintenance personnel specializing in intelligence and management, and whose professional ability was definitely off the charts. He and Hao Cheng could be considered acquaintances, so if they met later, he wondered if there would be any opportunities for cooperation...
Wu Pifu walked down the wide street with the two women. The two women were yawning constantly, and he couldn't think of any course of action other than fighting.
(As expected, the task given by the Main Brain is too difficult and complicated. Why can't it give a simpler one? For example, beat someone to death on the spot, or bring back someone's head to complete the task?)
Wu Pifu rubbed his hair in frustration.
(If only I could directly know other people's memories like Chu Minghao or Liang Min, instead of this hazy, vague perception of emotions and thoughts. Both are Super Brains, why... wait a minute, both are Super Brains?)
Wu Pifu stood still. He suddenly remembered that he was also a Super Brain. Although he was a potential Super Brain who still couldn't control his own abilities, didn't he still have eighty uses of the Super Brain left?
Up to now, he had only developed two usage techniques: combat prediction simulation and extraordinary evolution simulation. Since both were Super Brains and both possessed the common attributes of a Super Brain, why couldn't he use the Super Brain to perceive the thoughts and memories of everyone around him?
Even if it were just surface memories or stray memories, he would at least have a preliminary understanding of this world, right?
Thinking is doing. He still had eighty uses of the Super Brain, and consuming one to test the waters was nothing.
Wu Pifu stopped in his tracks and said to Jiujiu and Daphne: "Wait for me for a few seconds."
The two women were dizzy and confused, nodding vaguely. Then they saw Wu Pifu standing still and using his Super Brain ability.
Three seconds of deduction time. The moment the Super Brain was used, Wu Pifu erupted with all his strength. Because it was a deduction, he even pushed the negative mental backlash directly to 20%. He turned into a hurricane that swept through everything, madly colliding in a large circle within three seconds at nearly ten times the speed of sound. At the same time, he completely abandoned other Super Brain abilities, leaving only centralized mental memory sensing.
Then three seconds passed, and Wu Pifu stood still, covered in sweat. His eyes were a bit vacant; too much information had rushed into his mind. But strangely, his brain could organize this information into categories, and it automatically wiped out meaningless, cluttered information, and collected useful information from the cluttered data like an AI's big data.
In less than ten seconds, a lot of information automatically appeared in Wu Pifu's mind, including most of the social classes in this city.
This world is called Fuduzhubiqiu, composed of eight cities and one temple. It is the world of Luo Han Jun Jun Tu Bo Tan, one of the 84 trillion small thousand worlds under the Unborn Venerable Mother.
The world is round and flat, with only one huge piece of land. The eight cities are stationed in eight places on the continent, and the Temple of Luo Han Jun Jun Tu Bo Tan is located in the center of the continent.
The land floats above the sea of Red Lotus Karmic Fire. It relies entirely on Luo Han Jun Jun Tu Bo Tan's pity for the world, supporting this world with great magic power and great compassion. Therefore, the world respects Luo Han Jun Jun Tu Bo Tan and offers everything to him. Furthermore, because the people of this world have all returned from reincarnation in the Red Lotus Karmic Fire, they all have original sin and must repay their karmic debt by performing the most arduous cultivation, only then having hope of escaping this world and reincarnating into the Heavenly Human Path.
Therefore, apart from the "Creator" Luo Han Jun Jun Tu Bo Tan, there are only three ranks in this world: Sinners, Purified Ones, and Monks.
Sinners occupy 98% of the world's total population. They have no private property, and everything they have belongs to the monks. They need to dedicate all the fruits of their labor to the monastic community, and this also includes themselves.
In the information Wu Pifu perceived, these Sinners would offer themselves to the monks, and it was a living offering. Their physical bodies would then be used by the monks in various ways—literally used, including for play, rape, or being manufactured into ritual implements, or for grand sacrifices to Luo Han Jun Jun Tu Bo Tan, and so on.
This is an existence even lower than the slaves Wu Pifu had imagined.
Then there are the Purified Ones, who occupy 1.99% of the total population. They are Sinners who have repaid everything. Their past lives, past past lives, past past past lives... have already completely repaid their karmic debt, so their bodies and souls are pure and flawless. They will sublimate into the Heavenly Human Path as Heavenly Humans, escaping this bitter sea of the mortal world.
These Purified Ones do not need to do any labor at all and also enjoy the offerings of the Sinners. However, they do not have the power of the monastic community's sacrifices, and their status is lower than that of the monastic community. Once every twenty years, they hold a sublimation of consciousness, entering the Heavenly Human World to enjoy boundless eternal bliss through the Heavenly Human Channel opened by Luo Han Jun Jun Tu Bo Tan with great compassion and great magic power.
Finally, there are the monks, who occupy less than 0.01% of the total population. They are the pinnacle of this world apart from Luo Han Jun Jun Tu Bo Tan and possess all the power.
This is the most detailed information Wu Pifu perceived, and it is also the most basic information about this dream world. Then there is money and such... sorry, this world does not need money, because Sinners don't need it, Purified Ones don't need it, and monks don't need it either.
His and the two women's attire was the attire of the Purified Ones in this world. They could walk freely in the eight major cities and could also enter the Temple of Luo Han Jun Jun Tu Bo Tan to worship. They did not need any currency; as long as they entered the inner Pure Circle of any city, they could enjoy all the delicacies, all the service, and all the offerings. Everything there could be used and consumed at their will.
Almost in an instant, Wu Pifu immediately knew the various details of this world, at least the surface details, and also knew where he and the two women could go in the city to rest and resupply.
Besides this, he also knew what he and the two women had encountered last night.
Karmic debt!
Because the world has sin and the world has debt, apart from the places protected by the boundless Buddha Dharma, any other place, once it loses light (sunlight), will immediately be covered by karmic debt. Therefore, those Sinners must return to the city at night, and no one worries that they will run away. Once they lose the protection of the city and the monks, the karmic debt can directly trap them eternally in the Red Lotus Karmic Fire, never to be liberated for all eternity.
And from all the Sinners Wu Pifu perceived, they actually didn't even have a single thought of running away or resisting in their minds.
They firmly believe that they are bodies of karmic debt, and they are extremely eager to cleanse their own karmic debt, and then become Purified Ones in the next life, or after many more lives, to sublimate into the Heavenly Human World to enjoy eternal bliss. So, let alone running away and resisting, even when the monks need ritual implements, need sacrifices, or need volunteers, they even fight with other Sinners to compete for the opportunity to offer themselves.
In just those three seconds, Wu Pifu perceived the thoughts of at least hundreds of thousands of Sinners. Among them, not a single Sinner had even the slightest thought of resistance or dissatisfaction.
They were happy and kneeling in worship.
This made Wu Pifu so disgusted that he almost wanted to vomit, and the killing intent in his heart surged so violently that even the two women behind him were startled.
!
However, there were exceptions...
In this Super Brain perception, he perceived dozens of exceptions...
Untouchables!
This is not the "legal" three major classes, but the demons personally denied by Luo Han Jun Jun Tu Bo Tan!
In fact, the so-called demons are still human. They are different from these Sinners; they have a spirit of resistance, hope to overthrow the division of the three major classes, and even hope to eliminate Luo Han Jun Jun Tu Bo Tan.
They disguise themselves as Sinners, and their performance is no different from Sinners, but the spirit and memories they emit are completely different. They... are looking for "Ancient History."
Their memories are very chaotic and complex, and the Super Brain cannot materialize their feelings, but among all the memories they emit, the most profound one is the information of "Ancient History." They seem to believe that as long as they gather the information of Ancient History, they can change everything in this world, and they are also the targets of the monastic community's pursuit. Once discovered, they will definitely be burned to ashes by the Red Lotus Karmic Fire.
This is the first useful piece of information.
As for the second useful piece of information...
"Actually found it so easily?"
Wu Pifu looked at the location of the sacrificial palace circle, which was in the innermost layer of the city, even deeper than the Pure Circle.
Among all the information he had just perceived, there was hazy information about the company, the chairman, the pursuers, and so on.
At the same time, outside the central palace, in a magnificent building with gold-paved floors, jade walls, and purple bamboo tables and chairs, the skinny old man suddenly opened his eyes. Amidst the bewildered gazes of the other seven people, he immediately roared in a low voice, shouting with a terrified face: "Go! Leave immediately, that monster Chu Minghao has come in person!"
The other seven looked at each other. A middle-aged woman immediately said: "Chairman, don't be impatient. It is impossible for Chu Minghao to come here. This is absolutely impossible, because he has already been jointly exiled to the Weekend by us and one of the five leaders of the Human Revolution Alliance."
"He might already be dead!"
