This is an out-of-scope part of the brainwashing course of the Omniscience Cult. The Divine Guards only need to do two things: receive instructions and execute them. The rest is controlled by instinct.

"The Omniscience Cult erased their memories of important people and events, and used dogma and rules to make them obey orders and act accordingly. However, the ability to think cannot be erased. Once the seeds of doubt are planted, they will naturally have to think."

"Mayor, those crazy believers in the movies I saw didn't even have the ability to think?" He Zhuzhu thought of a movie in which crazy believers lost themselves.

"That depends on whether it is active or passive, depending on the depth and length of the brainwashing." At this time, Li Kuaile's gaze rested on Xu Hao's face.

"He is the best brainwashed version of a cult. To this day, the hostility towards him has not diminished at all."

Everyone looked at Xu Hao. Compared with the other two, that young man had murderous eyes.

Li Kuaile stood up, half-knelt beside Xu Hao, and pinched his chin: "It's normal that you don't remember me. You just need to remember that you are Xu Hao, not a minion of the All-Knowing Cult."

She snapped her fingers, and the screen changed to the company team-building photo that her old friend Lin Lijiao often saw. It was the only photo that had Xu Hao in it.

Apparently, the photo had no effect on him, and the murderous intent was still there.

Li Kuaile suddenly tore off the tape on his mouth. Xu Hao felt a stinging pain on his skin. He relaxed, his lips bleeding. He said viciously: "You slandered... the omniscient God... You will definitely be... punished... by God..."

"The Omniscient God is just a fictional bastard created by a bunch of shameless bastards. He is the culprit of the zombie disaster. You have been fooled, young man." Li Kuaile pinched the flesh on his cheek hard.

When Xu Hao heard this, he was like an enraged beast and shouted, "Sinner! The omniscient God will save the world!"

Li Kuaile smiled and shook his head: "You are too deeply poisoned to wake up for a while. But it doesn't matter, we have plenty of time to slowly let you see the truth."

She unscrewed the bottle of water again and pinched his mouth.

Xu Hao's hostility remained unabated. Li Kuaile's behavior made him extremely disgusted and he refused to drink the water given by the enemy.

"Are you afraid that I will poison you to death, you stubborn bastard?"

"I am a citizen of the omniscient God, and I am ready to dedicate my life to the omniscient God..."

Li Kuaile seized the opportunity, stuffed the water bottle into his mouth, and slowly poured the water into his mouth.

"Dedicate your sister, you are so devoted, dedicate your whole body to my old friend Lin Lijiao!"

Xu Hao was forced to drink more than half a bottle of water. Just now, Li Kuaile thought that he was going to bite his tongue to "contribute" to the cult, so in a hurry, he stuffed it into his mouth.

"You... sinner! Gululu..."

Li Kuaile turned to Lan Ling and the others and said, "Give them some water and food. They may not be able to accept it right away, but it's better than this stubborn guy offering it all the time."

With Li Kuaile's permission, the others picked up food and water, surrounded Chu Zijian and Yuan Fangfang, carefully tore off the tape on their mouths, and fed them water and food bit by bit. The two showed no resistance, but accepted it woodenly.

Only after Xu Hao finished drinking the bottle of water did Li Kuaile put down the empty bottle.

"Sinners, you can't shake my determination for the great...

"You talk too much nonsense, Xu Hao."

The chattering Xu Hao had a piece of barbecued pork in his mouth.

"Chew it well and swallow it, or I'll seal your mouth!" Li Kuaile scooped a big mouthful of food and put it to his mouth.

The fragrant barbecued pork spread in his taste buds. Xu Hao frowned, but driven by instinct, he couldn't help chewing, and his eyes never left the sinner Li Kuaile.

He took a bite of meat and a bite of rice, and the more he ate, the more delicious it tasted. When Li Kuaile fed him the rice, for some reason, two lines of tears flowed down Xu Hao's face. These were different from the tears he cried when he heard the Omniscient Sect slandering their sanctity just now. These were tears that came without warning, triggered by the deepest part of his heart.

Li Kuaile was stunned for a moment, then with a smile on his lips, he put down the spoon, took a few tissues and wiped his tears.

"I can't stand cats having eye boogers, and the same goes for people."

"you...!"

A mouthful of rice filled Xu Hao's empty mouth.

After eating and drinking, the three of them didn't make any noise, and there was no need to seal their mouths.

Chu Zijian and Yuan Fangfang were still in a daze. Li Kuaile asked others to take them to the room to sleep. There were three rooms, which was enough for them to share.

Li Kuaile glanced at the clock on the wall, walked to the window, and cautiously inquired about the situation outside.

It was a little after 6 in the morning and the day dawned early.

Through the window, she saw a huge collapsed pit and cracks of varying sizes on the ground. The buildings and shops around the cracks were all destroyed, extending to both sides.

There were quite a few mutant divine guards still lingering nearby, and the number of large zombies was gradually increasing.

Li Kuaile left the window and called He Zhuzhu to come out.

"Xu Hao, I have seen priests and bishops in the underground church, but I have never seen this man in black robes. Do you know anything about him?"

The bracelet showed an image of a man in a black robe.

Xu Hao recognized the black-robed man at a glance, and his tone suddenly became very respectful: "Sir, the black-robed messenger of the Omniscient Cult, is the strongest blade of the Omniscient God, and the commander who leads our Divine Guard Corps."

"Commander? Isn't he the most important figure in the Omniscient Church?" Li Kuaile said with sarcasm.

"Sinner, don't be rude to our Divine Guards Commander, Lord Black Robe. According to the 36th article of the Omniscient Church's doctrine, you will be punished by having half of your supernatural powers extracted and being whipped... What are you doing!!"

Before he finished speaking, Li Kuaile walked up and took off Xu Hao's shirt.

His upper body was covered with whip marks. Those ugly marks and shocking protrusions of flesh were obviously the result of repeated injuries, inflammation and cracking of the wounds without treatment, which led to scars.

He Zhuzhu whispered: "Mayor, when we were changing clothes, we all...found scars on their bodies. Uncle Ke said that Brother Xu Hao...had scars all over his body..."

"Sinner, let me go. This is the holy mark given to his people by the omniscient God. It is the power to fight against zombies." Xu Hao said angrily.

"According to what you said, the more stigmata there are, the lower the risk of turning into a zombie?"

"No, the stigmata can protect us, the divine guards. After death, we will not turn into corpses. Our souls will return to the arms of the omniscient God and continue to serve the omniscient God."

Xu Hao's look of complete belief in the cult really annoyed Li Kuaile.

The scene changed and the focus zoomed in. This was the scene that He Zhuzhu had just captured secretly outside the window.

Two zombies were wandering around. Although their clothes were torn, they could be identified as the uniforms of the Omniscient Church.

In the deep pit, you can also see some God Guard zombies who have escaped with great effort.

Xu Hao's pupils trembled violently, overturning everything he had been taught in the Omniscient Church.

His eyes were full of confusion.

Li Kuaile struck while the iron was hot, "See, the so-called stigmata are useless. The Omniscient Church has been deceiving you all along."

Xu Hao opened his mouth. He didn't know whether he should believe what Li Kuaile said, but his faith was greatly shaken by the transformation of the divine guards.

"Master, I exchanged 20 special scar-removing plasters in the mall. Take them."

20 scars fell to the ground.

Li Kuaile opened one, squeezed out a little plaster onto his fingertips, and applied it on a scar on Xu Hao's shoulder blade.

It was visible to the naked eye that the scar had become flatter. After applying it a few more times, the drug was absorbed faster and the disgusting scar turned into a faint mark.

"Wow, the products from the system mall must be high-quality. Xiao He, take some and apply it to other people." Li Kuaile and He Zhuzhu were very surprised by the scar removal effect.

"Mayor, this medicine is amazing!"

"I don't know if this will help if I get wrinkles in the future?" Li Kuaile said. He simply put on medical gloves, squeezed out several rounds of ointment, spread it evenly, and applied it on Xu Hao's back. The thicker the application, the faster the scars disappeared.

Xu Hao let Li Kuaile apply the lotion on his back in a daze.

"You have so many scars on your body. If my old friend saw them, she would probably cry her eyes out every day."

"Who are you? Sin..." Xu Hao didn't say the last word and swallowed it.

"Xu Hao, I am your forgotten friend. But it doesn't matter if you can't remember me now. There will be plenty of time in the future."

Li Kuaile looked at his smoothed back with satisfaction.

"Thanks."
