"Interesting. This is the first time someone has lied and praised me." Rossellin forced a sarcastic smile to hide the panic in her heart.
"You can disguise yourself with your ambition, but you can't fool everyone. You created the New Church and changed the people's faith not because of your ambition. You have other intentions." Han Xiao smiled.
Han Xiao had limited knowledge of Rossellin, but in his previous life, in the Silver Revolutionary Army version, the players had collected a lot of information about Rossellin. After Han Xiao recognized Rossellin, he recalled this information. A considerable part of it was Rossellin's past. She had told others about her past. Although she did not tell the players where her hometown was, she had mentioned what she had done in her hometown and her motives.
According to this information, Han Xiao knew that Rossellin's true motives had nothing to do with ambition. She did not manipulate the faith for power. Han Xiao knew Rossellin better than she did.
To be able to become the backbone of the Silver Revolutionary Army, other than having a special ability, she also had a heart that was not satisfied with the status quo and a unique ambition.
Rossellin's heart skipped a beat. This was the first person to see through her disguise. She hurriedly suppressed the shock in her heart and stabilized her mind with caution and vigilance. This was a habit that she had developed over the years. Black Star has only seen me twice, and he's already saying all this for no reason. He must have some ulterior motive … He must be exaggerating on purpose. How could he know what I'm thinking?
The true motive of building the church and gathering faith had always been the deepest secret in her heart. Rossellin had never told anyone else. She did not think that Black Star would be able to guess it.
Reynold also turned to look at Han Xiao suspiciously. Could it be that his sister had other secrets?
"Your ability is to subtly change people's mental appearance. The effect is not strong, and you can't completely control others as you wish. However, you can instill all kinds of thoughts in them."
With a confident look, Han Xiao slowly said, "Thoughts are invisible, but they are like the strings that control a puppet, affecting every aspect of an individual. Whether he is loyal or rebellious, passionate or hypocritical, cheerful or gloomy, a lot of these depend on his thoughts. The same environment can create different people, and it's also because of his thoughts."
As he spoke, he pointed at Rossellin, who was forcing herself to calm down, and smiled. "The new thoughts you give them through your ability are very contagious. In the eyes of the government in your hometown, your thoughts are a virus, but in my eyes, your thoughts are a seed, a seed that can change the development of thousands of people."
"You …" Rossellin's expression changed.
Without waiting for her to react, Han Xiao continued speaking unhurriedly.
"The personality of a civilization depends partly on their nature and partly on the traditional thoughts passed down from ancient times. Those that cannot be controlled by future generations will change independently at various stages of the historical process. In the end, these thoughts left behind by history will eventually dissolve into the bloodline of this race and become their mental foundation. History only happens once, and a race does not have a second chance to choose … It could even be said that there is no chance to choose at all. From a macroscopic perspective, the culture and personality of a civilization and race is almost random. Finding a result that may not be the best solution in the endless variables, or of course, there may not even be an optimal solution. "
"I call you a reformer because I know that you didn't establish a sect in your hometown for power but to reform your own race." Han Xiao smiled. "To be honest, I'm a little impressed by your ambition. What you want to change is not a regime or a system. What you want to change is the culture, ideology, and spiritual pursuit of the entire race, thereby changing the spiritual foundation of the race!"
This news was like a hurricane. Reynold was shocked. His mouth was wide open as he stared at Rossellin. If what Han Xiao said was true, his sister's plan was simply unbelievably huge.
As if struck by lightning, Rossellin was dumbfounded. Her face was filled with disbelief.
Han Xiao smiled secretly. These were the motives that Rossellin had said herself in his previous life. Now, she was using them to fool the person in question. The effect was off the charts.
After a pause, he continued. "Reforming the system and the government is not as long-lasting as changing the mental foundation of the entire race. Many problems are human problems. Personality determines fate. When there is no external influence, this rule also applies to a civilization.
"History is already set. In the process of a civilization's development, there is basically no chance to actively change its personality. What you're doing is implanting new thoughts into the race through the form of abilities and religion, giving them the opportunity to change. This is your 'Race Transformation Plan'."
Han Xiao touched his chin. "Hmm, but you're just an individual in this race. In the eyes of others, you don't have the right to change everyone's thoughts. Everyone has been imprinted with history and tradition during their growth. You can't change the deep-rooted traditions that have been passed down for thousands of years, so you've become a heretic and a sinner."
In his opinion, Rossellin's actions were simply aiming to become a saint!
Han Xiao could not help but mock Rossellin in his mind. Denying history and denying the national spirit that has been passed down. You're very empty, and your thoughts are too dangerous. There really is no problem locking you up.
However, this woman's thoughts are not wrong … Han Xiao's eyes darted around. If there were no Confucianism in the history of his previous life, then the ideas passed down by the people thousands of years later would be different, and the logic of how people conducted themselves would also change to a certain extent. In that case, China might have been able to expand its territory in history.
"And the simplest way to change the mental outlook of a race is through religion and school. Therefore, you chose to establish a sect, gather believers, and subtly change people's personalities. This is your true motive." Han Xiao stared at Rossellin with great interest. "Am I right?"
Rossellin's hands trembled. She took a deep breath and looked at Han Xiao with a complicated expression.
"You're … right." Rossellin's tone was low, and her frivolous attitude was completely gone. At this moment, Han Xiao vaguely saw the aura of a sect's pope from her.
She looked straight into Han Xiao's eyes and said in a deep voice, "I'm not that noble. Reynold's and my parents died in a political protest, and the Ceciris Civilization disappointed me time and time again. That's why I wanted to change some things … You're right. I really don't have the power to change the mental outlook of the entire race, and they might not need me. However, if no one does something extraordinary under the pressure, nothing will change. "I've established the sect for many years, but I only managed to change a small portion of people's personalities. Through the teachings and Esper Ability, I made them positive, let them grasp the present, and made them better. As long as the sect continues to be passed down, even without my Esper Ability in the future, these thoughts will become more and more deeply rooted in people's hearts. Unfortunately, it caused a backlash …"
After so many years of suffering, Rossellin was deeply wary of everyone. Her vicious tongue and frivolous attitude were her protective disguise. Because there were too many people trying to deceive and use her, she had once made up her mind not to open her heart to anyone. Even if she was misunderstood, she would not defend herself.
However, this was the first time Rossellin had confided in an outsider.
She stared at Han Xiao, and a complicated feeling rose in her heart. There was shock, relief, and a trace of comfort from meeting someone who understood her. These were the deepest secrets in her heart, and she had never told anyone else. However, Black Star saw through it so easily and said her true thoughts. This was also the first time Rossellin had met someone who understood her so well. She almost lost her composure.
Reynold was speechless. He looked at Rossellin in disbelief and sized her up as if he suspected that his sister had been replaced by someone else. He could not imagine that Rossellin would have such lofty ambitions. She wanted to fly to the sky and stand shoulder to shoulder with the sun.
Seeing Rossellin admit it, Han Xiao was secretly excited.
This fertilization method was indeed as useful as before. In his previous life, the Silver Revolutionary Army had tricked her this way!
"Achoo!"
On Blue Star, Bennett suddenly sneezed.
After Rossellin finished speaking, the room became quiet. The few of them did not speak for a while. Han Xiao knocked on the table and took the initiative to speak.
"Then what are your plans in the future? You can't go back to Ceciris. You're now a prisoner of Purple Crystal in name. I've bailed you out, so you can't run around."
Rossellin heard that and glanced at Reynold. She smiled gently. "I understand. After saying so much, you still want me to stay."
"You're a talent. I like talents."
Han Xiao naturally did not have to deny it.
"Since my brother is working for you, even if you use me, you won't go overboard. Alright, you used your connections to save me. I owe you a favor. My brother is my brother. I won't use him to repay your favor. Furthermore, I don't have much combat power. I'm definitely not a match for a big shot like you …"
Rossellin stretched and regained her playful attitude. She blinked at Han Xiao and deliberately revealed a flirtatious expression. "Since I can't escape, I have no choice. I'll lend my body to you as a tool. Use it as you wish. Don't stand on ceremony."
"Okay."
Han Xiao nodded without batting an eyelid. However, he cursed in his heart. Damn, still pretending. Do you think I can't see such a huge + 80 Red Heart Favorability? Will you die if you tell me honestly that you're very grateful? Will you die?
With the biggest problem settled, Han Xiao asked Reynold to take Rossellin to rest and eat something to replenish her nutrition. After being locked up for so many years, Rossellin's body was rather weak. She urgently needed to recover.
After the two of them left, Han Xiao remained in the hall alone. He tapped his fingers on the sofa and pondered about how to make use of Rossellin's special talent.
Rossellin's ability was very suitable for ideological construction. He felt that he could use her to strengthen the corporate culture of the Black Star Corps and cultivate slogans such as "Let the Black Star's Radiance Spread Throughout the Galaxy" and "May the Black Star Rise Again". Bloodshed Land also had people specialized in ideological construction.
"In other words, Rossellin can take on the role of political commissar?"
Han Xiao touched his lips excitedly.
Using mental construction to make leeks grow stronger …
Wasn't this a powerful compound fertilizer?
"Moreover, her ability is very special. In the future, the Silver Revolutionary Army might still target her. I can't keep such an ambitious person around forever. In this case, if she becomes a core member of the Silver Revolutionary Army like in my previous life, I might be able to form good karma with them and maintain a good relationship with them. We won't become enemies."
The Silver Revolutionary Army was naturally very powerful to be able to become a main storyline of a large version. Although Han Xiao did not want to join them to rebel against the three Universal Civilizations at all, he did not want to become enemies with them either.
Perhaps through Rossellin, he could discover traces of the Silver Revolutionary Army before they did anything. Then, he would be able to react in advance.
Han Xiao thought about it and felt that there was nothing wrong with his train of thought. He then opened the interface.
In the mission list, the [Reformer] mission had already been completed, and he had already obtained the reward. A completed Reynold Character Summon Card was in the interface.
It can be used three times, and each time lasts for sixteen hours. It seems like this type of Character Summon Card also takes into account the period of time needed to build machinery. It can be used for both combat and construction.
Han Xiao was quite satisfied. With the effect of this Character Summon Card, it would not be a problem to build orange equipment. He only needed to complete the blueprint mission and obtain the silver legacy blueprint.
After looking at the effect again, Han Xiao became more and more envious of Reynold.
I really want to obtain the original [Perfect Mechanical Sense] talent …
Sigh, we are different!
…
After saving Rossellin, Han Xiao split up with Reynold. He had Reynold bring Rossellin back to the headquarters and settle her down. He then piloted the spaceship and left the Colton Star Cluster, heading toward the location of the blueprint mission.
Be it the matters of the Black Star Corps, Vilna, or Rossellin, none of them were as important as his Class Advancement mission. Only by increasing his strength could he maintain his current foundation. With the hope of completing the Class Advancement mission, Han Xiao put down the other work in his hands and focused on the Class Advancement.
