"Addiction? This cigarette … has a problem? "
Vincent suddenly came back to his senses and looked at Lin Jie, who had a very serious expression on his face. Then, he subconsciously shook his head hard. "Impossible!"
Lin Jie was not surprised by the priest's reaction. To be able to make him accept the problematic cigarette without realizing it, and not notice anything wrong even after experiencing withdrawal symptoms, the source of the cigarette was definitely someone he could trust.
However, because of this, it made people feel even more disappointed. It did not matter if he accepted the cigarette from someone else or bought it from a store.
For something like this to happen, it was extremely black-hearted.
"Others are hell. You can never know what others are thinking, so no one can be completely trusted."
Lin Jie kept his hands crossed and supported his chin. He slowly said, "Nothing is impossible. Priest, can you answer a few of my questions first?"
How could I not answer?
Vincent said silently in his heart. Of course, he wouldn't say it out loud.
Lin Jie did not wait for him to answer whether he could or not. Instead, he asked, "Where did your cigarette come from?"
Vincent first looked at the cigarette in his hand and hesitated. Then, he opened the hard packaging. The first website was m.9biquge. com
In the middle of the remaining few cigarettes, a silver tree crown pattern could be vaguely seen on the white inner paper.
Although the transaction of transcendent items was confidential, since the other party was at least an Annihilation transcendent, there should be no need to keep it a secret.
"Banyan Tree Merchant Association."
Vincent closed the cigarette box again and took a deep breath. "I bought this from Banyan Tree Merchant Association. It is called 'Holy Moon Brain.' It has only been sold recently … It is only experimentally provided to selected clergymen in the church. The Seventh Apostle has already approved its effects. He thinks it is indeed helpful for meditation and strengthens the connection with the moon."
Because of this, when his meditation efficiency dropped recently, he only thought it was his own problem. He never suspected that the cigarette had a problem.
For clergymen, "obedience" was also a compulsory course.
The apostles had jurisdiction over the priests. They were third-level clergymen and represented a part of the moon's will. They had absolute authority.
But now, after being exposed by the owner of the bookstore, Vincent suddenly had a trace of doubt.
Could there really be a problem …
Vincent shook his head again. "But that's impossible! There has never been a problem with the reputation of the Sap Tree Merchant Guild, and the apostle himself said that the other priests I know all said that the effects of the 'Brain of the Holy Moon' are very good … "
It seemed that he was the only one who had symptoms of discomfort.
Xingshu Chamber of Commerce? Lin Jie was slightly surprised. He didn't expect to hear this familiar term from the priest's mouth.
But it wasn't hard to understand … .The power of the Xingshu Merchant Guild could be seen from the fact that they could easily provide fake identities in Nuo Jin.
Although it wasn't as terrifying as Luo Er's resources, it was still a giant business organization.
To use a modern analogy, Luo Er Resources was a giant enterprise that could produce all kinds of products, and Xingshu Merchant Guild was … Taobao.
On such a sales platform, it was not surprising that items specifically for clergy of the church would appear.
If it was the Xingshu Merchant Guild, Lin Jie could understand why the priest in front of him trusted the quality of the cigarettes unconditionally.
Even if he didn't know Cherry, the Bamboo Tree Chamber of Commerce was a very famous and reliable shopping platform.
Moreover, to the other side, there was an apostle's personal confirmation and other examples.
But the symptoms on the other side were real.
It seemed that this matter was more complicated than he had imagined.
Lin Jie thought for a while and asked, "I said, nothing is impossible. I will ask the Xingshu Merchant Guild, but now, the most important thing is you, priest, who are you willing to believe? "
Believe the church, or … .Believe him? Vincent understood the meaning of this question in an instant, and fell into silence.
The bookstore was quiet again. Vincent wanted to pray for the moon to give him peace, but found that the holy emblem in the priest's hand had no reaction.
Subconsciously, he wanted to take out a cigarette and light it up, but he stopped halfway through his action.
Vincent smiled bitterly and looked at the cigarette in his hand. He had to admit that something was wrong with him.
When he saw the cigarette, he felt that extremely uncomfortable feeling again. Without the interference of his thoughts, his senses became clearer. His skin felt like it was full of ants, itching unbearably. Even his internal organs started to itch faintly.
This was a kind of, how obvious, how terrifying this feeling was!
But he couldn't doubt the church. The education he received didn't allow him to doubt the church.
"I don't know … I really don't know, please guide me."
Vincent bent over and put his hands through his hair in agony. He pinched the cigarette box and flattened it.
Lin Jie sighed, feeling like he was looking at Old Wang from two years ago.
At that time, Wang Erde was also in a painful moment. Because of the collapse of his beliefs, he felt lost and almost walked on the path of self-destruction.
But luckily, he walked into this bookstore and met Lin Jie, a warm and kind person who was willing to help others. Now, his life was back to normal.
But compared to Old Wang, the priest in front of him might be in more pain.
To make a clergyman doubt his own church, even if it was just a member of the church, was a bit cruel.
But … the pain of independent thinking was unavoidable.
If there really was a problem within the Dome Church, it would be cruel to let this priest, who was willing to come for the sake of the people of the parish, who was willing to take care of them, and who chose to tactfully agree to Colin's request to come here first to be 'exorcised'.
Lin Jie comforted him, "Relax, everything else can be put aside for now. We can investigate later. The most important thing is your current physical condition."
"You don't usually smoke." He analyzed, "According to what you said, your colleagues aren't abnormal. In fact, it's the opposite. They should be smoking more frequently, but under the comfort of the 'Brain of the Holy Moon', they're acting normal."
"How do you feel now?"
Vincent raised his head and calmed down. He took a deep breath and described, finally saying, "I saw the moon in an illusion. This is something that shouldn't be possible."
It was indeed impossible. A blind person seeing things was either a dream or an illusion.
But to reach this point, it did seem a bit serious.
"Stop using the 'Brain of the Holy Moon'. It might make you act strangely and alert the enemy. Find something else to do to divert your attention."
Lin Jie stood up and took the Braille edition of 'If You Give Me Three Days of Light' from the bookshelf, "This book is suitable for you. Maybe you can 'see' something different from before."
Vincent stared blankly at the book that was burning with white flames and emitting light as if it had exploded in an instant.
It was indeed … very different.
