Chapter 233: All Are the Power of Calamity

Heinke had already realized the use for these new Believers; he needed to spread his own faith, but he truly had no better way to approach Mofate.

However, having already boasted, he could only rely on those new Believers to devise a plan for him at this moment.

This time, Amao's suggestion to Heinke was to have Heinke pose as a fortune-telling charlatan; Mofate's current state was very unstable, and he was in great need of someone who could comfort him, for instance, someone who understood divination.

"In your destiny, there are traces of Calamity," Heinke began to bluff, saying, "Your life itself should have been smooth, but following a decision of your own, the trajectory of your destiny has changed. Come, draw the card that belongs to you, and I will help you predict your future destiny."

"You first tell me what changes have appeared in my current destiny trajectory." Mofate had, after all, lived for several hundred years and was no fool, so he was skeptical of Heinke's words.

Heinke wore an indifferent expression, glanced at the other man, and then said, "I can only say that the people around you are here to protect you; these are all your karmic connections of kindness."

"You... how do you know?" Mofate finally began to feel afraid, "Can you see that I have encountered troublesome matters?"

"It is not just that; I can also see that the troublesome matters you have now should not continue to trouble you. You have their protection now, so you are quite safe." Heinke closed his eyes and muttered to himself, "Yes, your destiny has now slowly shifted, but there are still traces of Calamity."

"Yes, my luck is truly too poor; I feel that the God of Calamity has already favored me." Mofate had heard of the reputation of the God of Calamity, although this deity was not very famous.

However, having stayed in Tana City for a long time, one would inevitably have a little bit of understanding of the God of Calamity.

Even those Xiahui People would occasionally mention the God of Calamity.

"Yes, but this is not necessarily a bad thing." Heinke raised his head, his eyes gleaming, "You can also pray to this deity to keep Calamity away from you."

How could this be?

Mofate was unwilling in his heart.

But it had to be said that Heinke's charlatan appearance matched his own thoughts, and the things he said were also quite accurate.

Moreover, he was very certain that the guys around him could not possibly know this diviner.

Because the accent this diviner used when speaking was completely different from those Xiahui People, and it looked like they didn't know him at all; furthermore, those few bodyguards even asked him if they should beat this diviner up.

Lijia, who was to the side, seemed to have thought of something; she leaned over and said to Heinke, "Master, could you calculate for me? I want to know if I have also been favored by Calamity."

"Uh, this lady, your forehead is a bit dark; has your past experience been not so good?" Heinke looked at those few players and then began to analyze this lady.

This lady was wearing a matron's dress but kept a hairstyle like a young girl, and it was a Gannaer hairstyle.

Although she had put on makeup, she looked very aged and had heavy dark circles under her eyes; it was clear she was not sleeping well at night.

So Heinke quickly analyzed, "Lady, do not be too sad. Sometimes being favored by Calamity is not necessarily a bad thing; it could also be the arrangement of a deity."

"I think so too. I have prayed to that deity, and I feel that my luck has been much better recently." Lijia said slowly, "I originally thought my life would just be like this, but I... I feel that ever since I started praying to that existence, my luck began to change. I feel that life seems to have a little bit of hope."

"This is all because you want to change for the better from the bottom of your heart. You must know that deities do not have human emotions, and Calamity only leads people toward Calamity because of the guidance of destiny. But if you want to change your own destiny, the God of Calamity will also bless you to stay away from Calamity."

Although it sounded convoluted, these were all contents within the doctrine.

Heinke took a pamphlet directly from under the table and handed it to Lijia, "You can go back and read these. If there is fate, you will see me again."

Seeing Lijia take a pamphlet, Mofate also asked for one; he felt that this might be an opportunity.

This guy was definitely a believer of some hidden existence; he was spreading the faith of Calamity.

Mofate did not have any faith. As a Bloodthirsty, his life was more about family inheritance and had nothing to do with deities.

Whether it was the sun, the moon, or the stars, none fell within the scope of his worship, let alone mountains, rivers, and streams.

He believed more in himself.

But now, someone had directly calculated the disharmony in his destiny, so perhaps he could readjust that disharmony in his destiny.

……

"I didn't expect this guy Heinke to even find a shill."

"This lady is dressed very much like a Gannaer noble; Heinke is really good at finding people."

"He really is a crafty merchant. I just thought this guy used an Illusion; to be so cautious, he actually found an actor."

The players standing behind Mofate discussed among themselves; they all thought Lijia was an actor found by Heinke.

It was not until this actress began to purchase supplies at the Treasure Street in the dock area that the players realized this might truly be a Believer of the God of Calamity.

I didn't expect the God of Calamity to actually have Believers!

And a noble one at that!

Besides the players who were new Believers, there would actually be an increase in other Believers, and not just in the Factory District.

Amao: Good news, the Believers of the Lord of Calamity have increased; Heinke is spreading the faith to Mofate!

The matter of Heinke finding us previously to assist him in developing Mofate into a Calamity believer has come to an end. Currently, Mofate is studying the doctrine of Calamity at home and attempting to pray to that deity.

Additionally, an increase in some NPC Believers has been discovered, among whom there is even a Gannaer noble. It seems the NPCs are also moving very quickly!

Yaohuanghuang: I already said that the entire game's progress is dynamic; I'm afraid there will be more than just those few NPCs in the future. And haven't you noticed that Susan has also started to spread her own faith? Those interested can go over and help.

Xiongda: Don't you know that Archbishop Andrew has been spreading the faith of Calamity all along? There are quite a few people in the Factory District now who believe in Calamity, but they all believe in secret; no one wants the Wisdom Church to discover this problem.

Yunxiao: In fact, the Wealth Church has already discovered this problem. Some of the Believers Andrew developed are relatively bold, but the Wealth Church doesn't care; as long as we don't report it, no one will know.

Zhuguli: Indeed, as long as we don't report it, most churches won't know.

Feng Buxi: The Sun Church might still know; after all, their spread of believers is about the same as ours. However, Andrew is indeed very cautious; those who can be reached by his spreading are all devout Believers. It is said that a considerable portion of the workers who lived like prisoners in the Factory District before have come to believe in the Lord of Calamity.

The players discussed the relevant information in a hubbub, and Chen Zhi finally learned from these guys just how far his Believers had developed.

At least several thousand people in the Factory District believed in him; this power of faith was not small. No wonder he felt increasingly able to control his own body.

It seems that Believers will also have a certain influence on a deity; at the very least, when they pray, Chen Zhi can perceive the changes in his own body.

Those arms would even disappear because of the Believers' prayers.

Of course, the best part was that after the number of Believers increased, his own power would also increase accordingly.

Although he had not tested it, with his gradually increasing field of vision, Chen Zhi felt that he was becoming more and more powerful.

It really was time to put some pressure on those few loyal Believers of his.

It would be best to let them spread his faith more and let his Believers increase in secret.

……

At this time, Heinke was outside Mofate's residence, staring at him.

Although he could not go in directly—the Formation of those new Believers was quite formidable, and not even a mosquito could fly in—observing from a distance was still possible.

Heinke had already seen Mofate finish his prayers, and only then did he use an Illusion to lure the couple, who had been lost in Tana City the whole time, to the vicinity of Mofate's residence.

This couple was Mofate's biological parents.

They had arrived in Tana City two days ago, but because they did not know how to ask for directions, let alone where to go to find their son, they had been wandering around Tana City ever since.

It was Heinke who discovered the abnormality of these two people, as they happened to be spotted by Heinke while they were asking for news of their son in the dock area.

It must be said that Mofate was indeed the child of this couple; they were just as directionally challenged as he was, and ever since they got off the Ship, they had never successfully found the hotel they were staying at.

It was only because Heinke entrusted players to report their coordinates each time that he was able to find the two of them.

As for now, Heinke felt it was necessary to spread the glory of the Lord and the power of the Calamity to these two people, so he directly lured them to the outside of Mofate's courtyard.

"I smell his scent; I think it's around here."

"Go and ask; I shouldn't have argued with him back then. If it weren't for me, the child wouldn't have been lost."

"Perhaps it's not a bad thing. The most impulsive thing we did was not asking clearly how to find the location where the child is. Fortunately, our noses are very sharp and can smell his scent."

No wonder this couple could never find their way.

Because Tana City had every kind of smell...

As for the smell of blood, Tana City was not lacking in that at all; those players often made all sorts of blood products, and there were guys selling furs everywhere—no matter how good a nose you had, it would be rendered useless.

Not to mention the scent of spices drifting through the streets... these two people probably hadn't spent little time lingering at those snack stalls, right?

"In any case, it should be this house." The elegant lady reached out directly, intending to push open the courtyard gate.

For an Awakened, politeness is sometimes not that effective.

This instantly triggered the defensive measures in the courtyard.

Crackling Lightning passed over the perimeter wall, causing the lady to pull her hand back.

"This... what is the situation?"

"Can't you tell? This is a Formation!"

The elegant gentleman straightened his tuxedo suit and then shouted.

"Mofate, are you nearby? Open the door!!!"

"Mofate!"

"I am your father!"

Mofate, who was praying in the room, opened his eyes, then frowned and said to the bodyguard outside the courtyard: "Don't open the door yet; they know my name!"

"But... that person says he is your father." Amao roughly knew the identity of the people outside; he had long heard that Mofate's relatives had come to Tana City to find him.

It was just that because of Heinke's instructions, he had not told Mofate in time.

"Those people must have come again; they are too bold." Mofate's hands began to tremble; he knew he shouldn't have prayed to the Lord of Calamity. If he hadn't, he would have been safe, but those guys had found him again.

However, it was clear that those guys shouldn't be able to get in, which was why they needed to trick him into opening the door.

Mofate gathered his courage and said: "I am your father!"

"Mofate! You don't even recognize your own father!" the elegant lady said angrily, "Have you also forgotten that I am your mother!"

This...

If the father's voice wasn't very familiar, then the mother's voice was very familiar to Mofate.

Could it be that those guys kidnapped his parents?

Impossible, impossible; his parents were under the protection of the clan members, how could they have been captured?

Could it be to find him?

Mofate felt a wave of self-reproach, but he was still afraid to open the gate. "Are you, are you captured by those people? It is I who harmed you. If you really want those materials, I can give them to you; please let my parents go!"

"Mofate! Are you going to open the door or not!" The lady was clearly even angrier.

Her previous self-reproach completely vanished; she kicked the courtyard gate open directly, and then her whole body went numb from the electricity.

Although she still couldn't get in, the gate was finally opened.

It was just that the gate fell down, teetering, and Mofate finally saw his parents.

"Dad! Mom!"

"You brat, why haven't you turned off the Formation to let us in yet!" Mofate's old man supported his wife. "We two went through so much trouble to find you, and you actually won't let us in!"

"Quick, quick, turn it off! Heavens! Oh no, Lord of Calamity! It's all thanks to Him!" Mofate was overjoyed; if it weren't for the Formation, he would have rushed out to give his mom and dad a hug.

However, just as the Formation was turned off, a large bump swelled up on Mofate's head.

"You brat, do you want to freeze your mother to death? You actually didn't open the door for me! Have your wings hardened, thinking you can run away and that you're something special?" Mofate's mother said angrily; if there hadn't been outsiders present, Mofate would likely be lying on the ground by now.

The aggrieved Mofate lowered his head and said: "I was afraid someone was hunting me, I..."

"Didn't you say in your letter that you planned to build a clinic? And you're still afraid of being hunted?" After she finished speaking, another large bump appeared on Mofate's head.
