"?"
Annie's expression revealed a hint of doubt, this book cafe is actually the subsidiary store of that weird, urban legend-like bookstore
It's kind of incredible...
In fact, it is not unusual for two stores that are not far from each other and operate in the same general content and direction, and it is not uncommon for one of the stores to be a subsidiary store of the other, and it can even be said to be very reasonable.
But the problem is that the style gap between this newly opened book cafe and the bookstore next door is so big that it is a bit surprising.
The style of this book cafe is simple, novel and very elegant, and the bookstore gives people the feeling of being shabby and strange and a little mysterious.
If Athena hadn't said that, Annie would have thought that this was deliberately going against the bookstore next door. For the sake of competition, she had created the opposite effect and used comparison to attract more customers.
"It's amazing... Could it be that the owner of that bookstore planned to use his original store to set off the new store in reverse, and then create a source of customers for the new store and use the new store as the main source of income?"
Annie guessed so.
"Hahaha... Don't always use the idea of doing business."
Athena smiled and lowered her voice: "Father Vincent is now an apostate, and he is still wanted by the church, and from that dream, it seems that there are other hidden things in it... But the point is, I heard that , he's here too, do you think it would be easy to provide him with a place to hold a party?"
She said with certainty: "So the bookstore next door to the main store is a really difficult place."
The energy of the church is still very large, and the location of this meeting cannot always be chosen randomly...
Makes sense, Annie nodded involuntarily.
Seeing Annie's approval, Athena immediately felt satisfied, and continued with bright eyes: "Also, this book cafe has just opened recently, don't you think it's too coincidental? It's like it's specially designed for this game. Party preparations are the same…”
Annie knew that her friends had always been obsessed with mysterious or thrilling things. Whenever she heard that something unusual had happened, she would immediately run to join in the fun.
For a while, she even often said that Nuo Jin's frequent gas explosions were actually those who had extraordinary powers fighting... Really imaginative.
But this time, Annie unexpectedly agreed with Athena's opinion.
Although the reason is not the analysis she said.
While listening to Athena, Annie looked at the counter, the girl shopkeeper who had been quietly watching everyone in the shop.
The girl has a delicate and beautiful face, with dark pupils like a round obsidian, deep and quiet, she is wearing a black and white dress that is somewhat similar to a maid's outfit but more complicated and beautiful, and has a lace headband on her hair. , as very cute as a large doll.
But what attracted Annie even more was the way this young girl felt.
Although it is only there, it seems to be on the horizon. Although it is far away, it can always make people feel the peace and tenderness of the heart, as if being watched by the mother at all times.
This feeling, like... the moon.
Annie was shocked, yes, Moon, the last time she felt this kind of feeling, it was the first time she was baptized in the church of the Dome Church.
That's why she became a believer of the Dome Church, believing that this church does have the power to lead people to goodness.
Annie looked around secretly and found that although everyone who came here did not know each other, but so many people were present, there was no dispute, they were all communicating in a friendly way, without the slightest anxiety or anger, they came to speak All quietly.
… It turned out that they were not whispering, but simply lowered their voices.
Annie was stunned.
It was as if everyone had awakened the gentlest side of their hearts.
A strong sense of disobedience emerged in Annie's heart—this was the strength she felt at the baptism, and the peace in her heart when she went to pray later was so awkward, like a fake, It's the same in disguise.
This is what a real moon should look like!
"You feel it?"
Athena looked at her and said suddenly: "The real moon, right?"
Annie turned her head and met her friend's eyes. Thinking of what she said was "not a coincidence" and "the guilt of the Dome Church", she suddenly felt a chill behind her.
Could this be the truth Father Vincent wanted to tell them.
If that dream was true, Father Vincent was murdered, and now even the belief in the moon is false.
So the Dome Church has been covering up its brutal nature all the time. Oh my god, could it be that the largest church in Nuojin is actually…
Annie took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. When she was in shock, the policeman from the Central Police Station who was standing behind the counter suddenly came out.
The book cafe suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked at the young man standing in the middle.
This young man is of course Claude, who has replaced his subordinate who posted the news of the party and became the initiator of the party.
"Cough cough." Claude cleared his throat and said, "Everyone, I think you all came here because of that dream, and I believe that since you are here, then you all believe in the authenticity of the dream and the text. Father Cente's character, today, you will know the truth of everything."
His eyes were awe-inspiring: "We have collected what the Dome Church has done under the cover of darkness over the years, the evidence that will expose their sins to the sun, and behind what happened to Father Vincent, the church is going on. An act of terror."
"However, there is one more thing that has to be done before it all starts..."
Claude reached out and took out his pistol, and pointed the dark muzzle at one of the tables: "Do you want me to smash the communication device in your hand? Mr. Inner Ghost."
—Although the inside is a knight, the surface is still a policeman, and the gun is standard.
They expected the inner ghost who would report to the Dome Church. After all, the strength and influence of the Dome Church was not trivial, but for the inner ghost, it was the cause of myocardial infarction.
The middle-aged man in a leather jacket was full of stubble, stunned for a moment, stood up and raised his hand and said, "Hey, I don't know what you are talking about, I am here to believe in Father Vincent and hope to help him Do something, how can you spit blood..."
"Oh, really?"
A gentle voice suddenly came, and everyone suddenly saw Father Vincent, who was blindfolded by a black cloth, appearing behind the middle-aged man.
"I think the gun was pointed at the table. Are you in such a hurry to stand up that you can't wait to admit it?"
Vincent walked slowly to the center, and everyone realized that he was not wearing a priest's robe, but a crown and golden robe, which looked more like the Pope's daily dress.
The middle-aged man's face changed, and he suddenly panicked: "I'm just... I'm just nervous!"
Vincent continued to smile and said, "Then you are too nervous. You are so nervous... You didn't even cover the explosives on your body."
The middle-aged man's expression was stagnant, and the next moment he became hideous and shouted: "Apostate must die!!!"
Lifting the leather jacket revealed a row of explosive devices underneath.
