"Living thing?"
Lin Jie's eyelids twitched the moment he heard the word, and he felt a chill run down his spine.
He looked at the report in his hand … as well as a sample of Sheng Yue's brain in a plastic bag that was clipped to the document. He silently maintained his smile and leaned back.
He then placed the entire document on the counter and pushed it toward Ke Laode, indicating that he had finished reading it.
Once the word "living thing" came out, Sheng Yue's brain gave off a completely different feeling.
Lin Jie's emotions changed from abhorrence toward addictive substances to a bone-chilling fear of hunting strange objects.
It must be known that Sheng Yue's brain appeared in the form of a "cigarette." The user had to go through the two steps of "igniting" and "smoking."
In other words, if there was a living thing among the ingredients, it was very likely that it would follow the smoke and enter the user's body. If there were other people around him who had also inhaled the smoke, they might have also inhaled it …
Lin Jie subconsciously recalled that Vincent had almost been in the bookstore at the time, and it had been him who had lit a Sheng Yue's brain. Fortunately, he had seen through Vincent's strange situation at the time and stopped him from smoking in public. He had also told him not to touch this thing again.
No matter what was inside, the concept of a "living thing" would touch a nerve and make people feel incomparably disgusted.
Lin Jie's gaze shifted to the sample again. He calmed down and muttered, "In other words, the addictive properties of Sheng Yue's brain … could be caused by this unknown ingredient." com
It wasn't a drug addiction, but a parasite.
Ke Laode nodded with a grave expression and said, "Yes. According to the results of the analysis, the other ingredients all have the ability to stabilize, maintain activation, or something similar. They don't have the ability to act as the main ingredient of addictive substances, so the possibility of this unknown ingredient is the highest."
He turned his head to glance at the direct victim, Vincent, and said, "Father Vincent only consumed the Sacred Moon Brain for a short period of time. The symptoms weren't obvious at the time, and he stopped using it in time … These living things are afraid of fire. Fortunately, they all lost their activity after being burned by the priest, so the priest didn't suffer from a deeper level of poison."
Vincent nodded with a serious look on his face. He did not tell Ke Laode about the sun, moon, and false gods, so the latter only thought that he had mastered a special power related to fire.
"I have to thank Boss Lin. If it weren't for your reminder, I would be one of these ignorant addicts."
Although he had already completely destroyed Sheng Yue's brain due to the cleansing of the sun's core, he still felt a deep lingering fear, anger, and hatred.
He was still afraid of the consequences if he hadn't met Boss Lin.
Anger and hatred stemmed from the fact that there were even more innocent disciples who were still unknowingly using the Sacred Moon Brain, taking the initiative to absorb this unknown plaything into their bodies.
Vincent was not the first batch of priests to use Sheng Yue's brain. There was another batch before him, and many of the priests he knew were also using Sheng Yue's brain.
He didn't know what the Dome Church wanted to do, but from their actions, he could infer that it was definitely an ulterior motive.
Vincent had only discovered a hint of the truth, and the Seventh Apostle Vanessa had directly sent people to assassinate him. After that, she didn't even distinguish between right and wrong, killing everyone she saw. It could be imagined that the truth behind this was really at a level where not a single trace could be seen.
Right now, the only ones who could reveal everything were them!
Vincent felt a heavy burden on his shoulders. Right now, what supported his actions was not only hatred, but also responsibility and a sense of justice.
Just like how he had helped the people of the parish slay demons in the past, that was kindness from the bottom of his heart … There were always some things that were above hatred.
Vincent silently clenched his fists, and his mentality changed a little.
Lin Jie said in a low voice, "Then now, we still need to start with the Bamboo Tree Merchant Guild … I just got a useful clue from Cherry."
He told him that Congreve had secretly intercepted the goods, and that it was very likely that someone had instructed him to do so.
If they could know the whereabouts of the goods, they might be able to know what the Dome Church wanted to do.
Ke Laode came back to his senses. When he knew that Cherry from the Bamboo Tree Merchant Guild was on the other side of the communication device, his eyes looked like he had seen a rich daddy … 40% of the intelligence department's funds came from the Bamboo Tree Merchant Guild, so they were indeed a real rich daddy.
When the Miyie Tower had just started to suspect the bookstore because of Wang Erde, even if they thought that this might be a stronghold of dark wizards, they still didn't dare to search because of the Bamboo Tree Merchant Guild's reputation.
It could be seen that even if it was a righteous cause, it couldn't lack money.
Of course, now he was more looking forward to more useful clues from Cherry.
Lin Jie picked up the communication device again, and said, "Cherry, did you hear that just now?"
"I heard you," Cherry replied.
Her tone was a little excited. Living creatures, the Dome Church was too interesting this time. Listening to the other people on the other side, it seemed that they were planning to overthrow the Dome Church and establish a new church.
Cherry supported this idea wholeheartedly.
Because the Dome Church, as an old power, had always had a close relationship with other branches of the Bamboo Tree Merchant Guild and Rohr Resources. They often had dealings with each other.
Although the branch of the Bamboo Tree Merchant Guild that Cherry was in charge of also had a large amount of storage, but they didn't choose her. She couldn't do anything about it.
Because of this, Cherry lost a source of income.
But if the new church was established, and it was established by Boss Lin's guest, if it could really replace the Dome Church, then it would be a great opportunity for Cherry to monopolize the cooperation.
She couldn't wait to go to the bookstore.
Both sides of the communication device had deep expectations. They continued to investigate while waiting.
And Vincent, with the help of Moen, began his first missionary activity …
— —
Central Church of the Dome Church.
A group of priests were waiting for the pope's summons.
They were all blindfolded, but their faces were full of excitement and excitement. Their faces were flushed with excitement.
Most of these followers were ordinary priests like Vincent, or even ordinary priests and nuns. The most they could come in contact with was the simplified baptism ceremony of the new apostle, which was considered as meeting the apostle.
And the Holy Virgin and the pope, they could only see them from afar during the annual Holy Birth Day worship.
Their hearts were filled with admiration for the Pope, worship for their leader, longing for their idol.
Now, as ordinary followers, it was a great honor to be able to meet the pope. They were all suppressing their excitement. Their faces and necks were red, and some of them were even trembling.
The beautiful Holy Virgin was looking at them from the side. She smiled gently and said a few names softly, "These few follow me in first. The rest wait for a while."
"Yes!"
Those priests and nuns who were called immediately responded. They drew a crescent moon arc on their chests and followed her into the inner room.
They couldn't see because they were blindfolded. On their red cheeks and necks, there were faint traces of wriggling. They looked like blood vessels, but also like … worms.
