The Vatican is the smallest and least populous country in the world, with a land area of less than 0.5 square kilometers and is surrounded by Italy on all sides.

Despite its small size, it is the center of Catholicism, the center of faith for one-sixth of the world's population!

Rome is very close to the Vatican, so close that tourists to travel to the Vatican are to take the Rome subway, and there is no need to check the visa in the middle.

The crowd was bustling, but it was quite orderly, but Zhang Chu actually saw that there were small vendors selling all kinds of small items to tourists, which was rare.

His eyes were fixed on the small bookstore on the street, but unfortunately the books sold in the bookstore were children's books and Bible stories, and of course there was a thick work on the doctrine of Christ.

"If only the Da Vinci Code could be sold here one day!"

Of course, he knew that this was an extravagant hope, and under the nose of the Holy See, there should be no bookstore that dared to be so crazy.

But it's quite exciting to think about it, it's like reading Xiaohuangwen in class, there is a feeling of taboo!

When there was already a long queue at the ticket office, Zhang Chu's online reservation of museum tickets could be printed directly, so that there was no need to queue.

The buildings here look religious, but it's not a Sunday, and the pope is nowhere to be seen, although there are congregations outside St. Peter's Square.

When Zhang Chu took the ticket and entered the museum, he accidentally found that a blonde woman was stopped outside by the security guard because she was wearing shorts, and this attraction has a high dress code!

The spiral staircase is impressive from the top and contains Michelangelo's zenith painting "Genesis" and "The Last Judgment" painted on the side wall.

Probably there are too many Chinese tourists, and there are even Chinese explanations in this museum, which is considered to be a walk for Zhang Chu to view these contents.

Coming out of the museum, Zhang Chu saw clergy wearing religious robes hurrying by, and the clothes were divided into different colors of white, purple, red, and green lights.

Recently, thanks to his writing, I have learned about these things of Catholicism, even the characters and deeds of murals and sculptures!

It's still useful to read more!

Before he knew it, the number of tourists around him was much less, because the underground passage looked eerie and terrifying.

"This secret passage connects Vatican City with Castel Sant'Angelo on the banks of the Tiber and is half a mile long. In the past, it was used as a pope to flee, and once saved the life of Pope Clermont VII when Rome was sacked!"

The early Catholic popes hid here when they were hiding from their enemies, and hundreds of years ago the Vatican's most feared enemy was a secret organization called the Illuminati.

This group is made up of a group of scientists who have been subjected to religious persecution and have vowed revenge against the Vatican.

The more Zhang Chu thought about it, the more familiar he felt, he seemed to have heard this story somewhere!

"It can't be such a coincidence, can it?"

He looked at the underground passage, and the name of one came to his mind, which was the sister chapter of "The Da Vinci Code" - "Angels and Demons"!

The story of "The Da Vinci Code" actually takes place after "Angels and Demons", but he brought it up separately.

Before Professor Robert Langdon deciphered the Da Vinci code, he had already caused a storm in the Vatican and Rome, and he could be called a middle-aged version of the schoolboy of death.

Wherever you go, the story takes place!

Leonardo Vitra, a devout believer and scientist, succeeded in creating an extremely powerful energy "antimatter" in the laboratory, but before the discovery was announced, the scientist was brutally killed in the laboratory, not to mention that an eye was gouged out by the murderer, and a mysterious symbol was printed on his chest.

What's even more shocking is that the antimatter hidden in the ground is missing, and when it encounters the house, it produces a huge amount of energy, enough to destroy a city.

Robert Langdon was invited to investigate the mysterious symbol, but on the same day, the missing antimatter was discovered somewhere underground in the Vatican and would explode on its own twenty-four hours later, which was the day of the Catholic Papal Election.

Catholic cardinals from all over the world gather at the Vatican, and the antimatter hidden underground is like a time bomb that will turn the entire city into ruins if not found in time!

When Langdon and others were searching for antimatter, they found that the legendary Illuminati who died out decades ago were still active, and many scientists in history were members of it, such as astronomers Galileo, Copernicus, Bruno, etc.

After decades of silence, the Illuminati aimed at the day of the Pope's election to take revenge on Catholicism, and the clues to the murderer and the photograph are hidden in the works of Galileo and Milton.

The theme of "Angels and Demons" is the debate between science and religion, and the question of whether to talk about evolution or God's creation is a debate in Western universities hundreds of years ago, when countless scientists approached the Holy See for persecution.

Lucifer was seen as a messenger of light by the Illuminati, whose secret meeting place was also found by the guidance of angels, and the religious persecuted regarded Catholicism as the devil, and the fanatical religious believed that science was a force for the destruction of mankind and an anti-religious devil.

Angels and demons are sometimes just one step away!

Zhang Chu just came to the Vatican for tourism, but he didn't expect to be a tourist who could find out what to write in the future.

The content of "Angels and Demons" is in a certain sense repetitive with "The Da Vinci Code", so Zhang Chu does not plan to write it out immediately.

In this way, it is easy for readers to feel aesthetic fatigue, and if a routine is used repeatedly, no matter how fresh it is, it will feel tired.

At the very least, readers around the world have to digest the Da Vinci code on the Paris side, and then lead to the Vatican's side.

What's more, Zhang Chu doesn't want to completely match Christianity, if two works of this theme are published in a short period of time, it will be too targeted!

Although the Vatican has not established diplomatic relations with China, if some Christians in the country are too impulsive, it will cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.

The church is wrapped in the cloak of God but does not do righteous things, just like wolves wrapped in sheep's clothing, plus they are mysterious and secretive, and there are some black histories, so they are villains in various literary works and animation works.

Zhang Chu silently put this "Angels and Demons" on next year's writing schedule, and he definitely can't write it this year.

The impact of "The Da Vinci Code" is big enough that the church must be slowed down, not too stimulated by them, like a frog boiled in warm water, to get them used to it slowly!

The Vatican city is not big, Zhang Chu looked at his watch and decided to go back to Rome, and in the afternoon he could wander around Rome, and then fly to Frankfurt in the evening.

The global launch of the new book is tomorrow, and this mysterious work is finally about to be seen to the public!
