After confirming that John Joyce would carry the Mirror Shard, the players gathered around to examine the queen statue and its stone base.

Julia took out a stethoscope device with an external screen, hung the end of the stethoscope with a rod, and probed various parts of the statue from a distance.

As the stethoscope pressed against the surface of the statue, a three-dimensional imaging projection similar to a B-ultrasound appeared on the LCD screen.

The crowd clearly saw dense, human blood vessel-like veins inside the statue,

The veins converged into bundles, ultimately pointing to a crystal within the stone base below.

[Name: Prayer Statue]

[Type: Magic Item]

[Quality: Fine]

[Effect: Collects Faith. Collects the faith of believers in the Ice Queen and seals it within the Divine Power Crystal. Current Faith Power Storage: 100/1000]

[Consumption: None]

[Note: The Prayer Statue cannot be placed in the backpack during this mission.]

[Note: Combining the Prayer Statue with the Mirror Shard can trigger the "Twisted Mind" effect.]

[Note: The gods are watching. If I were you, I wouldn't want to move, steal, desecrate, or destroy the statue. Unless you want to directly face the wrath of a demigod or their proxies.]

"This is actually an item?!"

Julia was quite surprised as she detached the stethoscope, her eyes wide. "And it's a container used by a deity to collect the power of faith!

But the later description mentions a demigod.

That Ice Queen probably hasn't ignited the divine fire to become a deity yet.”

According to the theories of real-world mysticism, the best way for a deity to accumulate divine power is to recruit more believers and obtain more faith power, converting it into divine power that the deity can call upon.

Demigods who want to become proper deities also need to collect massive amounts of faith power, condense the divine fire, and then achieve godhood.

"This, this shouldn't be."

Julia frowned, and whispered, "In the ancient dark ages of the real world, those indigenous gods could rely on the faith of tens of thousands or even thousands of primitive tribal people to successfully achieve godhood.

If the humans in other regions of the several kingdoms are as devout as the townspeople of Hamelin, then the Ice Queen, who has countless believers,

The power of faith accumulated over the years should be a terrifying number. How could she still be stuck at the demigod stage?

This just doesn't make sense…”

Julia muttered to herself, while the expressions on the faces of others were different.

The black old man Bob had a gloomy face, the smoker was faintly terrified, and John Joyce, while frightened, subconsciously swallowed.

This was a creation of the gods!

As the Killing Game progressed, various organizations in the real world offered irresistible prices for any creation of the gods.

A magic item used by a demigod to collect and store divine power, and that can be combined with other items, should sell for five or six thousand game coins, plus a fine-quality equipment item.

It was a pity that the description of this [Prayer Statue] clearly stated that moving the statue would directly cause the demigod and the demigod's proxies to sense it.

Moreover, the statue couldn't be put into a backpack, so they couldn't even run away with it.

"Phew."

John Joyce took a long breath and threw the idea of dying for wealth like a bird for food out of his mind.

Any player with a normal mind could guess that this was definitely a trap set by the system for them.

"Brother Dao, what are you doing?!"

The next second, John Joyce couldn't help but scream.

In his vision, Li Ang had somehow approached the statue, like a perverted uncle at a car show, sticking close to the statue from a close distance, taking pictures like crazy with a camera, and making "hehehehehe hissing" sounds in his mouth.

He was just like a strange creature.

The teammates were shocked. Out of fear that "desecrating the statue would attract the gods," they really wanted to pull Li Ang down.

However, the yellow armor hovered in the air, silently staring at them with cold and unkind eyes.

Helpless, John Joyce had to stand in place and ask: "Brother Dao, what are you doing, Brother Dao!"

"Huh?"

Li Ang turned his head, his expression natural and calm. "I'm studying the structure of this statue. This is a creation of the gods. Even if I just take a photo and draw a diagram of the internal structure, I can make a lot of money by selling it to an organization."

Li Ang smiled and waved his hand, reassuring his teammates, "Don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who doesn't know what's important. I know what's important.

I won't steal this statue,

or desecrate the gods by drawing the words 'I am a big idiot' on the statue's forehead."

What the hell is "I am a big idiot"? Where did you come from, you childish elementary school student?

And shouldn't the inscription be poems like, "The phoenix bedchamber scene is extraordinary, all made of gold and skillful makeup"?

The flames of John Joyce and others' inner complaints were burning fiercely, but in the end they didn't say anything, silently watching Li Ang take a set of photos of the statue from 365 degrees without dead ends,

Then he took pictures of the B-ultrasound image on the stethoscope's LCD screen, and then sketched it on the spot with paper and pen. Finally, he turned around and asked his teammates: "Who among you has explosive devices? The kind that can be remotely controlled."

"What?"

John Joyce was stunned when he heard the words. "What are you going to use it for?"

"Bury it next to the statue."

Li Ang casually explained: "This statue is specially used to collect the power of faith, and it may be quite important to the Ice Queen.

Since the two sides will eventually meet and even be hostile, and the statue cannot be directly destroyed at this stage,

Then it is better to take advantage of the fact that our identities have not been exposed yet and bury an explosive device next to the statue."

"I understand."

John Joyce's eyes lit up. "This way, when the two sides are officially hostile, we can detonate the explosive device, destroy the statue, and cause some interference to the queen."

Li Ang nodded. "That's right. No matter how important the statue is to her, it's always good to have an extra trump card."

In fact, Li Ang had an IED explosive device on him, as well as special worms that could be detonated, but the remote control distance of these two things was limited.

After they left the town and walked a certain distance, it was estimated that there would be no way to remotely destroy the statue - it seemed that everyone did not carry heavy weapons such as remote-controlled missile-carrying vehicles.

The smoker nodded, "I have a prop that meets the requirements here."

He took out a rather special item from the backpack bar.

It was a literal bomb, the King and Queen of the two playing cards.

"This thing can be detonated remotely. Although the power is not very great, it should still be possible to destroy the statue.

The smoker saw the somewhat painful eyes of several teammates, and swallowed back how to trigger this item called [Pour Auntie a Cappuccino Card Bomb].
