Chapter 646: It's Not a Surprise, It's a Shock!

A single flower is not spring, a hundred flowers bloom in spring.

If there is only Zhang Chu's book on the book market, then it will not prosper anyway!

So the current thriving situation is something that everyone who cares about the publishing industry wants to see.

There are enough chicken soup and warm works, and different types of works are active in the market, which can give readers more choices and make the bestseller category no longer singular, which is very important.

On the Amazon book best-selling list, it can really be called a hundred flowers blooming now, of which the top of the list is, of course, "The Da Vinci Code", followed by economic management, foreign classics, inspirational, essay collections, psychology, children's books, humanities and social sciences and so on!

Not only Amazon China, but also the book sales list and Kindle e-book sales list of other countries are also "The Da Vinci Code", far ahead.

It looks like it's irreversible.

The United States is one of the most religious countries in all developed countries, according to Gallup, about 40% of Americans attend religious activities at least once a week.

Of these many faiths, nearly 80 percent belong to various Christian denominations, of which Catholicism and Protestantism are the main ones, and the remaining 20 percent are religious and atheist.

Adam was born into a Christian family in Florida, and although he now works in New York, the influence of his family has always had a profound impact on him.

Being an agent of a sports star is not a comfortable errand, especially since this agent is only an internship, which is almost equivalent to doing chores for others.

NFL stars are all worth billions and tempers, and there are many troubles, and Adam spends his days answering various phone calls.

In the dead of night, his favorite thing to do is read a book in the dim light.

Probably because of the dull and depressing real life, he wants to escape, so Adam's favorite book genre is thriller and suspense crime, which will give him a different kind of pleasure!

And he enjoyed the feeling of being crushed with a high IQ, and his wisdom was not wasted on those simple-minded, muscular players.

The first thing that attracted Adam was not Random House's £12 million prepaid manuscript fee, but the last words of the curator that circulated on Twitter.

That ingenious last words really made him very happy, and now more and more suspense is developing in a superficial direction, either the clues are extremely obvious, or it is all nonsense, and there are fewer and fewer works like "The Da Vinci Code" that are designed with care!

Adam knew that if he hadn't read the analysis of the great god on Twitter, he might have solved the puzzle himself, but it might have taken a little longer.

When "The Da Vinci Code" was officially put on sale, he bought a copy at the bookstore after work, and there were not a few people who bought books there.

Staying up late has become a habit, and he even poured himself a cup of black coffee, and when Adam flipped through the contents, he was slightly dissatisfied.

"It's a villain again, why can't these authors think of anything new in their heads?"

Adam expressed his displeasure with the resurgence of Catholicism as a villain, as both half-believers and ordinary readers were accustomed to it.

The only novelty is that the identity of the killer was announced so quickly, which is simply an anti-routine!

A lot of suspense, thrilling or reasoning is at the end of the murder will be found through the summary of various clues.

Now the writing of "The Da Vinci Code" is very unique, one chapter writes about the crime scene, and the other chapter writes about the murderer, and the two alternate, which feels pretty good!

"Symbolic cryptographers are really interesting, maybe you can go to the Louvre during the Christmas holidays. ”

In just a few chapters, Adam was already attracted to Zhang Chu's depiction of Paris, and he knew that the ascetic with self-mutilating tendencies had been instructed to find the Holy Grail!

The plot gradually deepened, when the protagonist Yang Xuan and the heroine Sophie cracked their last words to find the Mona Lisa painting, Adam couldn't think about it, and he was now full of body and mind on these two people, looking forward to their adventures and worrying that they would be hunted down by the French police.

What is the truth about Sophie's family, and is there any ulterior secret about this curator?

Obviously he already felt the danger, but why didn't the curator prepare early, such as hiring more bodyguards or simply calling the police?

Using the strategy of diverting the tiger from the mountain, the French police were all deceived, so the huge Louvre was somewhat quiet.

In the dialogue between Yang Xuan and Sophie, all kinds of content and knowledge surfaced.

Adam is no stranger to the content of tarot cards, anyone who has an ex-girlfriend who is addicted to divination is familiar with these, and the pentagram suit is actually a symbol of the goddess!

PHI, not PI, the number 1.618 has an extremely important place in art, coming from the Fibonacci sequence, known as the golden section number.

It's everywhere in nature, and it's also found in Leonardo da Vinci's paintings.

English word fans are actually things that many people know, such as a simple word planets, which can be arranged and recombined to get 62 English words of different lengths!

"It turns out that PS has a third meaning? It's not just a postscript, Princess Sophie, plus the logo of the lily, turned out to be the symbol of the Xunshan Hermitage?"

Adam is now full of admiration for the author, and he didn't expect that a simple homicide case could print so many things, and it was so refreshing to see it vividly!

The phenomenon of multiple meanings is brought into full play here, and when the whole curtain is slowly opened, the heart is extremely excited.

Leonardo da Vinci was once the archbishop of this group of fanatical worshippers of pagan goddesses, and this organization kept ancient secrets.

The reader's mood overlaps with the heroine Sophie here, and almost all of them are questioning ideas!

Sounds ridiculous!

Leonardo da Vinci was just a painter, a forward-looking scientist, how could he be an archbishop, and how could a Chinese know so much about European history?

Before Adam could react on the main story, the side plot gave him an unparalleled surprise.

Cardinal Silas, a Catholic ministry from the United States, entered the church under the guidance of the nun of St. Sulpis, and found a hollow floor tile.

Could it be that the secret that the Xunshan Hermitage has kept for many years is about to see the light of day again?

But then the seemingly harmless nun and grandmother turned out to be a member of the hermitage, and her identity was very well hidden!

Then this should be a complete trap.

Adam felt like his brain cells were burning like crazy, and that was wonderfully written!

Little did he know, however, that what awaited him next was not a surprise, but a series of shocks.
