Chapter 358 Joining the Church of Light
Johnny saw that Zhang Hao was injured and wanted Zhang Hao to take holy water to relieve his injuries.
Johnny hurried to get the holy water, while Zhang Hao wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and was not seriously injured.
Johnny brought the holy water and handed it to Zhang Hao.
"Brother, drink it quickly, this is good stuff, your body will be better immediately after drinking it!"
Zhang Hao's eyes lit up and he took the holy water and drank it all.
His face became rosy and it seemed that his injuries had improved a lot.
Johnny breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Zhang Hao was getting better.
At this time, he asked: "Brother, I don't even know your name!"
Zhang Hao sat up, waved his shoulders, twisted his body, and said, "Just call me Jack!"
Johnny said happily: "It's all thanks to you today, otherwise I would be in trouble!"
Zhang Hao chuckled twice and did not comment.
Johnny put his arm around Zhang Hao's shoulders and said, "Are you okay? This holy water is really magical! It can cure any disease and strengthen your body!"
Zhang Hao smiled and said, "I know that this holy water is similar to the serum of the Tanaka Group."
Johnny's face changed, he became alert, and his hand left Zhang Hao's shoulder.
Zhang Hao smiled and said, "To be honest, ever since the Tanaka Group developed the blue serum and created the black robe man, I have been paying attention to it. I have been pursuing this power."
"But later I found out that the serum from the Tanaka Group had serious side effects, otherwise I would have joined the Tanaka Group."
Hearing Zhang Hao's frank confession, Johnny was skeptical, but his guard was obviously lowered a lot.
Zhang Hao went on to say, "Later, I heard that the Church of Light was distributing holy water, so I got a bottle. I knew at a glance that it was similar to the serum of the Tanaka Group, so I tried taking a bottle and found that it really worked, and there were almost no side effects."
Johnny thought Zhang Hao was quite capable and could defeat the Marines, so he asked, "You have been taking holy water, why haven't I seen you before? I am the one who distributes holy water in the Church of Light."
Zhang Hao suddenly had an idea and made up an excuse, saying, "I am a black boxer. If I take holy water openly, I will be discovered."
After hearing what Zhang Hao said, Johnny felt relieved. It turned out that the holy water was used as a stimulant.
Zhang Hao went on to say, "I got a lot of holy water from other believers, but I still want to be stronger, so I secretly came here to take a look today, but I didn't expect to encounter this."
Johnny rolled his eyes and said, "Brother, something bad has happened! You fought so hard today, and there were so many people watching, you might have been exposed."
Zhang Hao pretended to be surprised and said quickly: "What should I do? I make a living by boxing!"
Johnny persuaded him and said, "Brother, let me tell you this! You have probably been exposed anyway, and there is no hope for you to go back to play basketball. Why don't you just follow me?"
Zhang Hao asked in confusion: "Follow you? Does the Church of Light still pay you?"
Johnny patted Zhang Hao on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Brother, as long as you have my recommendation, you can follow me in the future. There are many ways to make money. I guarantee that you will make more than you do now!"
Zhang Hao asked tentatively: "Brother, are you talking about selling holy water?"
The amount of holy water that ordinary believers receive every day is fixed, but people like Johnny who have a certain status can definitely get a lot of holy water.
Johnny stared at Zhang Hao and laughed.
"Hey, you're really smart!"
Zhang Hao also chuckled and gave Johnny a look that showed everyone understood.
"Then please take good care of me from now on! "
Johnny was no longer on guard. He put his arm around Zhang Hao's shoulder again and said, "Come on, let's welcome our brothers today. I'll tell President Ruth when she comes back!"
Zhang Hao agreed with a smile.
In the next few days, Zhang Hao was inseparable from Johnny every day. He would treat Johnny to big meals and outings from time to time to gain his trust.
Zhang Hao also learned more about Johnny.
It turns out that Johnny is not only a staff member who distributes holy water, but also has a certain understanding of the true purpose of the Church of Light.
After all, the Church of Light has very few people in reality, so many things are left to Johnny to do.
Johnny also revealed to Zhang Hao that a group of people did come to the York Street Church of Light some time ago. They claimed to be players in the virtual world who were going to the moon to study. It was Ruth who told them that the Church of Light had a unified arrangement to take care of their physical bodies.
But after this group of people arrived at the Church of Light, he soon received a notice from Ruth asking them to go to another location.
However, Johnny didn't know the exact location, he only knew that they were picked up by a bus.
Zhang Hao knew that he could only continue to wait. It seemed that Ruth would not let Johnny get in touch with anything deeper.
After Wilson led his men to besiege the Church of Light, the number of believers coming to the gathering did decrease at first, but it has become hot again in the past two days.
Sure enough, the holy water provided by the Church of Light is very attractive to ordinary people, especially those with illnesses.
On this day, Zhang Hao was helping Johnny distribute holy water when a woman walked in through the door and everyone's attention was drawn to her.
The person who came was Ruth, whom I hadn't seen for a long time.
After Ruth came in, she greeted the believers with a smile, briefly praised the greatness of the AI God, and then called Johnny to go to the back of the church.
Johnny asked Zhang Hao to help continue distributing holy water and maintain order, then he quickly ran over.
After a while, Johnny came back, walked to Zhang Hao, and asked Zhang Hao to go with him to see Ruth.
Zhang Hao touched his disguised beard, and after making sure there was nothing wrong, he followed Johnny into the back of the church.
When Ruth saw Zhang Hao and Johnny come in, she quickly glanced at Zhang Hao, her eyes flashing quickly.
"Are you Jack? Johnny has already told me about your situation. You stood up bravely. May the AI God bless you."
Zhang Hao sneered in his heart. Ever since he heard the conversation between Ruth and the AI alien, he already knew that Ruth in front of him was actually controlled by the AI alien.
Zhang Hao nodded grimly, but Ruth didn't care.
She continued, "I heard from Johnny that you secretly got a lot of holy water. Plus, you were a boxer, so you fought the Marines one-on-one and didn't lose."
Zhang Hao nodded.
"I know that you approached the Church of Light for the holy water so that you can become stronger, not because you truly believe in the AI God!"
After saying this, Ruth stared at Zhang Hao with her sharp eyes, trying to see something.
Zhang Hao did not explain, and said directly: "That's right, I only believe in my own strength. If the alien can make me stronger, then he is a god. Otherwise, I don't care about AI gods or not."
Johnny was very worried when he heard Zhang Hao speak so frankly, so he hurried to speak up for him.
"Master, my brother is outspoken and did not mean to offend the AI God."
Unexpectedly, Ruth smiled and waved her hands, and said frankly: "To ordinary people outside, AI aliens are gods, but for people like you, AI aliens hope that you can be a capable assistant rather than a devout believer!"
Then she added: "If you can join us and work for the AI God, the AI God will make you the strongest boxer on the planet! From now on, you and Johnny will be the kings of New York."
Johnny's face became excited when he heard this, and Zhang Hao's face also flushed slightly.
Ruth saw it all, but stopped talking and just looked at the two of them.
Zhang Hao said: "If the AI God can help me become stronger, I am willing to stay in the Church of Light."
Ruth nodded in satisfaction.
