"What do you think is upstairs of our restaurant?"
The old man and Zhu Jue stood on the balcony of the roof of Xiangfeng Restaurant. Perhaps they noticed that the latter had been looking at the buildings in the restaurant with their heads raised. The old man pointed to the old building hundreds of meters above and asked.
The giant pipes shuttled through it. The buildings that were originally shrouded in the sunset were a little sinister because of the concealment of those steel structures.
The one downstairs just now was not the Hongmen Banquet. To be precise, it also had the meaning of apology banquet, and the meal was not spared. The old man also specially made a cup of good tea for Zhujue.
In order to clarify the misunderstandings of the previous pursuit of the two sides.
Zhu Jue didn't care. He ordered all the good dishes in the store, and he didn't want to eat them for nothing. At the same time, he also asked what Wu Jing was from, so he agreed with the other party's remarks.
After all, there is no conflict between the two sides.
After that, the old man said he was looking for a secluded place to chat, but Zhu Jue did not refuse, so he followed him to the attic balcony.
“Other restaurants and shopping malls?”
Zhu Jue didn't know what was above, so he said casually.
"It is a residential building, and up to 103 floors, all residents are residents. The tourist area of ​​Rongxiacheng is actually only a range of three to ten floors of these buildings. Of course, just this section is already large enough."
(It turned out to be my first time in Rongxia City. How did he know the existence of the Holy Spirit Cult? Has the activity scope of this cult spread to other cities?)
The old man took a sip of tea, and what he said and thought was completely different.
"Oh...you'd better tell me about the Holy Spirit Church."
(This old man is so bad that he actually messed up my words. I have to quickly bring back the topic.)
Zhu Jue had already verified before that Wu Jing was in this restaurant, which was in the hands of these people, and the organization he belonged to was the Holy Spirit Church.
"The Holy Spirit Church is a cult that has emerged recently in Rongxia City. They use the cultural atmosphere here and the people's respect for religion, rely on hypnotic music, scented scent and some other special means to control the people who don't know the truth, and then brainwash them with their own set of fallacies... How did you have a conflict with them?"
The believers of the Holy Spirit Church are specifically targeting this young man, and there is obviously a reason for this. As long as you can figure out this reason, you will naturally get more information.
“It doesn’t matter.”
After suffering a loss, Zhu Jue was naturally not ready to let someone continue to talk. He supported the railing behind him with both hands, turned his face toward the sunset, hung his legs outside the railing, and the wind chime jumped up, squatting beside him, and three tails were shaking happily.
"unimportant?"
"Yes, compared to why they wanted to catch me, I'm actually more interested in this thing now."
The rice paper balls found in the clay pot in Wu Rui's home were opened on the railings, and the image of the monster swayed in the wind. Zhu Jue asked immediately,
"Do you know what this is?"
If he hadn't been looking forward to the existence of the monsters from the source of spiritual pollution and the environment in Rong Xiacheng was very much in his wish, he would have taken the afternoon flight back to Yecheng, so how could he continue to waste time here?
"Demon."
When the old man was talking, a breeze blew, shaking the brass bells at the corners of the eaves on the railings, jingling.
"Um?"
Zhu Jue looked at the old man with a look of surprise. This title is a bit fantastic. In fact, this city is a very rare existence in this era.
"This is a monster image promoted by the Holy Spirit Church. It is said that it is assigned by God to punish the existence of people in the world, and specializes in eating human internal organs. Only by believing in the Holy Spirit Church and eliminating one's own karma can we avoid the attack of monsters. In short, just like other cults, we first promote a theory of the end of the world to create fear, and then rely on this fear to make believers do their best."
"What about the facts?"
Zhu Jue naturally won’t believe this kind of weird talk.
"I wonder if you have ever heard of the source of mental pollution?"
The old man took a sip of tea and looked at a statue on the building ahead. It was the head of the Pixiu, and it was particularly ferocious under the shadow.
......
At eight o'clock in the evening, Zhu Jue held a weapon box in his hand and leaned against the corridor, his eyes staying on the street performers in the distance.
There was a team of several people surrounded by virtual projected notes, one holding a guitar in his hand, and every time the waves were fluctuating, the other was sitting behind the drum set, and there were various gorgeous special effects behind the drum sticks when they hit. Some people were wearing rivet leather jackets, and the black mask on their faces also had various expressions constantly changing.
Zhu Jue has seen many such teams in Yecheng, but the group of people next to these people are actually some acrobatics, performing the old routines, such as pushing the tank, spitting fire, and the "broken stones on the chest" that have to be the core program in any era.
This strong contrast made Zhu Jue really not know what to say.
"Hey, I'm ready to go."
I waited for about half an hour and someone next to me said.
"You are the ones who carry out the mission?"
Zhu Jue turned his head and saw the three people he saw just now in Xiangfeng Restaurant.
"I really don't know why the shopkeeper wants you to act with us."
The girl was wearing a light red cotton robe, with a mechanical disc as big as a copper coin between her fingers. She refused when she knew that outsiders would join this action.
"Don't get me wrong. We are not acting together. You just need to take me to find the monster. I can help you solve it, and I won't charge you a penny... This is what your shopkeeper promises. If you don't believe me, you can ask him."
In fact, Zhu Jue heard that they had information about the source of spiritual pollution in their hands and offered to participate in their actions. At that time, the communication between him and the old man was also very simple.
"Do you fight monsters?"
"beat?"
"I can help you fight, and I will definitely win, add me?"
At this time, Zhu Jue took out the photos of the monster corpses stored in his mobile phone and the mental protection device used for emergency use in his backpack.
"no problem!"
This is the old man's last reply.
"We still need your help?"
The girl was naturally dissatisfied. In her opinion, Nie Qingzhu escaped just to complete the plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain, and it was not that she could not beat Zhu Jue.
"Xiaocui, this is the order of the shopkeeper. Pay attention to your words... Since you have also participated in the mission, then we are now our temporary companions. My name is Nie Qingzhu. This is my junior sister Xu Xiaocui, and this is my junior brother, Liu Cheng."
Nie Qingzhu, wearing a dark green robe, gave an introduction. He was obviously the core figure of this team.
"Just just ask me to Zhujue."
