Chapter 391 Crouching Dragon and Phoenix
While Su Fan was talking to Theresa, a group of people walked in at the door of the restaurant.
Their clothes were no different from anyone else's, but the moment they stepped into this place, Su Fan frowned.
Theresa's heart suddenly skipped a beat when she noticed the change in the former's demeanor.
Su Fan frowned before and found the body of a woman killed by a vampire in the alley.
Now, not long after, his face showed a strange color again.
Could there be another murder?
Theresia's eyes began to scan the restaurant, and then she immediately noticed the group of people who had just entered the restaurant.
It's not that her observation skills are very strong, but that the other party's behavior is too eye-catching.
The men and women held the thick leaflets in their hands in an organized manner and came to the dining customers, muttering as if they were selling something.
And the table for two people was no exception.
"Sir and Madam, please allow me to delay you for a minute to introduce the god we believe in, the great Chaos..."
The man with a kind smile had just opened his mouth when he saw Theresia taking out the cross hanging on her chest.
It's a shame they can think of selling other sects to a nun who grew up in a convent.
If most people had realized this, they would have turned around and left silently, but the man had no intention of retreating.
"It can be seen that you are a person of faith, but because of this, you should invest your precious faith in the real god."
Theresa, who was always gentle and polite, rarely showed anger on her face.
The other party not only despised her own wishes, but also trampled on her beliefs.
Just when she was about to speak, the restaurant's lobby manager came immediately.
"It's you guys again! I told you that this restaurant refuses all missionary activities! If you don't leave, I will call the police!"
The man scolded the other person mercilessly and took out his mobile phone.
Seeing that the situation was not going well, the group of people immediately exited the restaurant and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.
After driving away the uninvited guests, the lobby manager immediately apologized to Su Fan.
"Due to the negligence of this restaurant, the two of them suffered an unpleasant experience during the meal. As compensation, the bill at our restaurant will be settled at a 50% discount."
The manager spoke very politely and sincerely, which calmed down Theresa's anger.
"Listening to what you just said, it seems like this is not the first time this group of people have come to preach?"
Su Fan suddenly asked.
"That's right."
The manager explained.
"This group of people started operating around here almost a month ago. The main purpose is to attract people to the emerging sect they believe in."
"Although we called the police and sent them in several times for disturbing public security and other reasons, they only treated the symptoms but not the root cause. After a period of time, they would continue their previous activities after they came out."
"But don't worry, their leader assured us that members of the cult will not do anything drastic."
"Have you met the leader of the cult?"
Theresia was surprised.
"Yes."
While speaking, the lobby manager glanced at Su Fan unnaturally.
Although it only lasted a moment, it was still captured by the latter.
"It seems that I have similarities with that leader."
"Your sensitivity is truly amazing."
The lobby manager sincerely praised Su Fan's statement.
"He is indeed from East Asia just like you, but I can't tell which country he is from."
"He is very polite in his speech and behavior. It is impossible to tell that he is the leader of that kind of organization."
He seemed to remember the scene of his conversation with the other party, and subconsciously sighed.
But he soon realized that he was talking too much.
"I'm very sorry for saying some unintelligible things. Please continue to eat."
"It's okay, you go and do your work first."
Su Fan smiled and asked the manager to leave.
"There are more and more new sects of this kind now."
Theresa on one side did not continue to enjoy the dessert, but said rather worriedly.
Even now world governments are still performing the basic functions they should perform, but their credibility has been completely lost.
The government cannot formulate policies that truly benefit citizens, and the government cannot ensure the safety of citizens.
The reason why it can operate smoothly now is just due to inertia.
In this process, civilians who are unable to solve the strange events can only place their hopes on religion.
The most intuitive manifestation is that since the middle of last year, the number of believers making pilgrimages to the Holy See has increased month by month, far exceeding any time in previous years.
As a believer, she should be happy from the perspective of the Holy See, but in fact, the people who flocked to the Holy See were only a very small part.
The vast majority of the remaining people fell into cults because of this. They worshiped images when they saw them, believed in gods when they met them, regardless of the origin, and fell into the extreme of sorrow.
People with ulterior motives either use this to make a lot of money, or to strengthen their own power, and tragedies involving family destruction and death occur one after another.
The world has changed for the worse, teetering on the edge of a precipice called chaos.
"The world will get better."
Su Fan said a harmless and positive quote, and after thinking for a while, he added another sentence.
"...should be."
For the first time, Theresa experienced what it felt like to have Chinese words stuck in one's throat.
You might as well not say anything.
When Su Fan saw the other party's appearance, he chuckled in his heart and quickly changed the topic without saying more.
“If you continue to stay here, you won’t have time to go to other attractions.”
After hearing this, Theresia finally stood up. She called the waiters on the side and asked them to get boxes to pack the uneaten desserts and food. Then she left the restaurant with Su Fan carrying the boxes.
In the restaurant, the lobby manager who had previously spoken to the two looked at Su Fan's back and hesitated to speak.
This guest seemed to be very interested in the leader of the cult. He originally wanted to reveal more about that person's characteristics, but for some reason he forgot about it on the spot.
"Why did you forget..."
The big man blew up his hair and fixed it with a wooden stick. It was so abrupt and obvious. Logically speaking, it should be very impressive...
……
“How many places are left in London that you haven’t visited yet?”
Theresa heard Su Fan's question and opened the travel guide in her hand, but she couldn't give an answer for a long time.
Not long after, a hand came from the side and took it away.
Su Fan took one look and put it away
"Have you finished reading?"
"Yeah."
Theresia looked surprised.
"Have you written down the map?"
She knew that Su Fan had special abilities and powers that were beyond the reach of extraordinary beings, but she never knew that he had such abnormal memory and reading and writing abilities.
This is simply photographic memory.
"No, your travel guide is useless."
"How is this possible? I specifically found this from the church library before I came here."
"Where did you find it?"
"Church books..."
Theresia didn't react until she was halfway through speaking.
Very few of the books stored in the monastery church have been published recently, and most of them are old books that have been preserved for decades. In disbelief, she took the book from Su Fan's hand and turned it over to check the publication date. It read 1979...
"Careless."
Theresia slapped her head in frustration.
"What can I do?"
Today's mobile phones are not as versatile as they will be in the future. If you want GPS functionality, you can only buy a car navigation system.
There was no time to go find a local tour guide. It might be helpful to flag down a taxi driver and tip them more, but the problem was that the place they were in at the moment was a pedestrian street.
Su Fan had no choice but to search for some memories about famous British attractions in his mind, walked to the newsstand on the street, and bought a map.
"Come with me."
Su Fan now feels like a round-headed blue cat who refuses to be named, capable of investigating crimes, exorcising evil spirits, or navigating lost places.
"Well..."
This book was recently updated in ##六@@九@@书@@!! Updated!
Theresia nodded, and after hesitating for a moment, she took Su Fan's arm.
The two of them were like ordinary men and women on the street, walking between scenic spots and occasionally stopping at clothing stores, but they didn't buy anything.
While on the road, Su Fan was always advised to visit the free attractions in London. No matter how cheap souvenirs were, he always looked down upon them.
But when I see any novel food, I will immediately become unable to walk.
Su Fan wondered if this guy also had a Tupa in his head.
For example now.
"Wow... the burritos in this stall are actually three pounds more expensive than the one in front of me. I want to see what the difference is."
"Fish and chips? Try them."
“The buns with chocolate filling are interesting.”
As Theresa said this, she neatly took out the money from her small purse and handed it to the vendor.
The speed was so fast that even Su Fan didn't have time to say anything to dissuade him.
In order to cater to local tastes, Chinatown restaurants and other food stalls here offer dark dishes that Su Fan has never seen.
However, Theresia still ate with gusto.
If it were in his previous life, he would probably be walking around with milk tea and eating.
As if feeling the strange look in Su Fan's eyes, Theresia took a bite of the burrito and then explained vaguely.
"Don't worry about my finances... The Holy See has prepared sufficient funds for everyone to go out this time..."
She swallowed the food in her mouth and said quite proudly.
"I thanked you for taking great care of me when I was in Los Angeles last time, and now it's my turn."
Su Fan felt a little funny when he heard her tone was full of arrogance like a little rich woman.
According to this way of eating, it won't take long for her to spend a lot of money, and she still looks like she wants to take care of him.
Although he doesn't mind eating soft food.
"You'd better feed yourself before talking."
After finishing speaking, Su Fan did not forget to remind Theresa.
"Wipe the corners of your mouth, there's sauce on it."
"Oh... help me get it."
Theresia handed the unfinished food in her hand to Su Fan, took out a tissue and wiped the corners of her mouth.
"Speaking of which, why didn't the boss give me some tissues when I went shopping? I remember that there was such a service in other places."
"Because environmentalism has taken over almost everything here."
"Pay attention to environmental protection?"
“No, it’s about paying attention to environmentalism.”
Su Fan spoke slowly.
"There is a difference between environmental protection and environmentalism."
If you really value environmental protection, you should be willing to spend a lot of manpower and material resources to correct environmental problems, instead of not giving plastic straws and forcing you to use paper bags to carry things...
Su Fan has always found this group of British people very interesting. They talk about doctrines and think about business.
We were marching for this bad thing more than ten or twenty years ago, and we are still marching for this bad thing ten or twenty years later.
In fact, animal protection and environmental protection are nothing more than using a banner to ask for money from the government to fill their own pockets.
As long as the pounds are in place, even foam can be blown to you and it will be 100% harmless and clean.
Without them, Britain's high-speed rail might cost less and build a few more meters.
Yes, a few meters.
Commissioner Smith was still too powerful and the British finances could not defeat him despite all their efforts.
People's hearts are full of ghosts, and perhaps the emergence of evil spirits and supernatural phenomena is just to expand a way to commit crimes.
Su Fan thought of the Marvel movies he had watched in his previous life, which were popular all over the world.
Among them, the super artificial intelligence Ultron came to the conclusion that mankind should be destroyed after browsing the global Internet for five minutes.
It's really interesting and tight.
Su Fan thought this while subconsciously biting the food in his hand.
It wasn't until the salty and spicy taste spread in my mouth that I realized something was wrong.
Turning his head, he saw Theresa next to her as if she was petrified.
"I'll buy you new ones later."
Su Fan said this, hesitated for a moment, and took a second bite.
You can never give it back to her.
Theresia didn't express any opinion and just followed Su Fan.
Fortunately, there were many similar food stalls on the way to the scenic spot, and Theresia soon had a few more things to eat.
"The attraction we are going to visit this time is..."
"Sky Garden."
Su Fan threw it away, and the remaining packaging in his hand fell accurately into the trash can behind him.
"The sky garden is actually a botanical garden built in a high-rise building. It houses restaurants and shops, and you can also see the London skyline. It has an excellent view."
"I heard that the best time to visit is at dusk. Judging from the time, I should be able to make it in time."
And it’s free to visit, no tickets required.
Looking at the skyline at dusk from a high building is indeed a good choice.
With the map in his memory, Su Fan quickly found the address of the Sky Garden.
Strangely, there was no queue at the door, but there were some security guards standing guard.
"Let's go in quickly."
Theresa beside her was already starting to get impatient, but Su Fan held her back.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing, this attraction seems to be a little different from what I know..."
Facing the question, Su Fan's expression became a little abnormal.
The sky garden is located on the top floor of a building built in 2014.
But the thing is, it's 2003.
Previously, he complained about Theresa for holding outdated travel guides, but he ended up making similar mistakes.
Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a little funny in his heart.
One holds a map of the past, and the other holds a map of the past twenty years.
Wherever the crouching dragon exists, there must be phoenix chicks accompanying it.
