Chapter 19: Temporary Occupancy
"What do you think is upstairs in our restaurant?"
The old man and Zhu Jue were standing on the roof balcony of Xiangfeng Restaurant, probably noticing that the latter had been looking at the building on the restaurant, so the old man pointed to the old building hundreds of meters high above and asked.
Huge pipes weave through it, and the building, which was shrouded in the sunset, looks a little gloomy because of the steel structure.
The one downstairs just now was not a Hongmen banquet, to be precise, there was some meaning of a thank-you banquet, not to mention the food, and the old man specially made a cup of tea for Zhu Jue.
In order to clarify the misunderstanding between the two sides in the chase battle before.
Zhu Jue didn't care, he ordered all the good dishes in the store, how could he not want to eat for nothing, and at the same time, he also had the heart to inquire about Wu Jing's origin, so he agreed to the other party's peace.
After all, there is no contradiction between the two sides.
After that, the old man said that he was looking for a secluded place to chat, and Zhu Jue did not refuse, so he followed him to the attic balcony.
"Other restaurants and malls?"
Zhu Jue didn't know what was on it, and said casually.
"It's a residential building, one hundred and three floors up, all residents, the tourist area of Rongxia City, in fact, there is only a range of three to ten floors of these buildings, of course, just this section, the area is large enough. ”
(It turned out that it was the first time he came to Rongxia City, so how did he know about the existence of the Holy Spirit Sect, and the scope of this cult's activities had spread to other cities?)
The old man took a sip of tea, and what he said was completely different from what he thought in his heart.
"Oh...... Tell me about the Holy Spirit's teachings. ”
(This bad old man is so bad that he actually used my words, and he had to quickly bring the topic back.) )
Zhu Jue had already verified that Wu Jing was in this restaurant, that is, in the hands of these people, and the organization to which he belonged was the Holy Spirit Sect.
"The Holy Spirit Cult is a cult organization that has recently emerged in Rongxia City, they take advantage of the cultural atmosphere here and the people's respect for religion, rely on hypnotic music, incense sticks and some other special means to control the masses who do not know the truth, and then use their own set of fallacies to brainwash them...... How did you get into trouble with them?"
There is obviously a reason why the followers of the Holy Spirit Sect are specifically targeting this young man, and as long as they can understand this reason, they will naturally get more information.
"It doesn't matter. ”
Just suffered a loss, Zhu Jue was naturally not ready to let people continue to talk, supported the railing behind him with both hands, turned his face to face the sunset, hung his two legs outside the railing, and the wind chimes also jumped up, squatting beside him, and his three tails flicked happily.
"Not important?"
"yes, I'm more interested in this thing now than why they're arresting me. ”
Unfold the rice paper ball found from the crockpot in Wu Rui's house and place it on the railing, the image of the monster swaying in the wind, Zhu Jue then asked,
"Do you know what this is?"
If it weren't for the fact that he was still looking forward to the existence of the monster from the source of spiritual pollution and the environment on Rong Xiacheng's side, he would have already taken the afternoon flight back to Yecheng, how could he continue to waste time here.
"Demons. ”
As the old man spoke, a breeze blew, shaking the brass bells at the corners of the balustrade, tinkling.
"Huh?"
Zhu Jue looked at the old man with a surprised face, this title is a bit mysterious, in fact, this city is a very rare existence in this era in his opinion
This is a kind of monster image preached by the Holy Spirit Sect, it is said that it is assigned by the gods to punish the existence of the world, specializing in cannibalism, only by believing in the Holy Spirit Sect, eliminating their own karma, can they avoid the attack of monsters, in short, it is like other cults, first preaching a theory of the end times, creating fear, and then relying on this fear to make the believers obediently pay. ”
"What about the facts?"
Zhu Jue naturally wouldn't believe this kind of strange talk.
"I don't know if you've ever heard of a source of spiritual pollution?"
The old man took a sip of tea and looked at a statue on the building in front of him, which was Pixiu's head, and under the shadows, it was particularly hideous.
......
At eight o'clock in the evening, Zhu Jue held a weapon box in his hand, leaning against the corridor, and his eyes stayed on the street performers in the distance.
There are several teams of people surrounded by virtual projected notes, one holding a guitar, each fluctuation has a colorful sound wave spreading, one sitting behind a drum kit, there are all kinds of gorgeous special effects behind the drum sticks, and some people are wearing riveted leather clothes, and there are various expressions on their faces that are constantly changing.
Zhu Jue has seen a lot of such a team in Yecheng, but the group of people next to these people are actually some acrobats, performing those old routines, top cylinders, fire-breathing, and "chest broken stones" that have to be the core program no matter what era they are.
This strong contrast made Zhu Jue really not know what to say.
"Hey, we're ready to go. ”
After waiting for about half an hour, someone next to me said.
"You're on a mission?"
Zhu Jue turned his head and saw the three people he had seen in the Xiangfeng restaurant just now.
"I don't know why the shopkeeper wants you to act with us. ”
The girl was dressed in a pale red cotton robe, and there was a mechanical disc the size of a copper coin between her fingers, which she had refused when she knew that outsiders would join the operation.
"Don't get me wrong, we're not acting together, you just have to take me to find the monster, and I can help you solve it without charging you a penny...... This is what your treasurer promised, and if you don't believe him, ask him. ”
In fact, it was Zhu Jue who heard that they had information about the source of spiritual pollution in their hands, and offered to participate in their actions, and the communication between him and the old man at that time was also very simple.
"Do you fight monsters?"
"Hit?"
"Can I help you fight, and definitely win, add me one?"
At this time, Zhu Jue took out the photos of the monster corpses stored in his mobile phone and the emergency spiritual protector in his backpack.
"No problem!"
This was the old man's last reply.
"We still need your help?"
The girl was naturally unconvinced, in her opinion, Nie Qingzhu's escape before was just to complete the plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, not that she couldn't beat Zhu Jue.
"Xiaocui, this is the shopkeeper's order, pay attention to your words...... Since you have also participated in the mission, then we are now temporary companions, my name is Nie Qingzhu, this is my junior sister Xu Xiaocui, and this is my junior brother, Liu Cheng. ”
Nie Qingzhu, who was wearing a dark cyan robe, made an introduction, he was obviously the core figure of this team.
"Just call me Zhu Jue. ”
Zhu Jue always has a sense of insanity about their outfits and how they call each other, but he still expects these people to help him find monsters, so naturally he won't make trouble with them at this time.
