“？”
Annie's expression revealed a trace of doubt. This book cafe is actually a subsidiary store of that weird, urban legendary bookstore?
It's really incredible …
In fact, for two stores that were not far from each other and operated in the same general direction, it wasn't unusual for one store to be a subsidiary store of the other. It could even be said that it was very reasonable.
But the problem was that the style of this newly opened book cafe was too different from the bookstore next door, so much so that it was a little surprising.
The style of this book cafe was simple, novel, and very elegant, while the bookstore gave people a feeling of shabby strangeness and a trace of mystery.
If it wasn't for Athena's words, Annie would have thought that it was deliberately going against the bookstore next door. In order to compete, it purposely created the opposite effect, using contrast to attract more customers.
"It's amazing … Could it be that the owner of the bookstore intends to use his original store as a foil to the new store, and then create customers for the new store and use the new store as the main source of income?"
Annie guessed so.
"Hahaha … Don't always think of doing business."
Athena smiled and lowered her voice, "Father Vincent is now a traitor, and he is still wanted by the church. And from that dream, there are other secrets … But the key is, I heard that he is also here. Do you think it's simple to provide a place for him to hold a gathering?"
She said with certainty, "So, as the bookstore next door to the main store, it's really not a simple place."
The church's power was still very great. The location of this gathering couldn't be chosen randomly …
It was very reasonable. Annie couldn't help but nod.
Athena saw that Annie agreed, and she suddenly felt satisfied. She continued with her eyes shining, "Moreover, this book cafe was just opened recently. Don't you think it's too coincidental? It's like it was specially prepared for this gathering … "
Annie knew that her good friend had always been obsessed with those mysterious or thrilling things. Every time she heard that something unusual happened somewhere, she would immediately run over to join in the fun.
For a period of time, she even often said that the frequent gas explosions in Nuo Jin were actually those people with extraordinary powers fighting … She was really imaginative.
But this time, Annie unexpectedly agreed with Athena's opinion.
Although the reason was not the analysis that she said.
As Annie listened to Athena, she looked at the counter, at the young lady shop owner who had been quietly looking at everyone in the shop.
The girl had a delicate and beautiful face. Her pitch-black pupils were like round obsidian, deep and quiet. She wore a black and white dress that was somewhat similar to a maid's dress, but more complicated and beautiful. She had a lace headband in her hair, making her look like a large doll. She was very cute.
But what attracted Annie even more was the feeling this girl gave off.
Although it was just there, it felt like it was on the horizon. Although it was far away, he could still feel the tranquility and gentleness in his heart, as if he was being watched by his mother at all times.
It felt like … the moon.
That's right, the moon. The last time she felt something similar was when she was baptized in the church of the Dome Church.
That was why she became a believer of the Dome Church. She believed that the church had the power to guide people to do good.
Annie secretly looked around and realized that although everyone here did not know each other, with so many people present, there was no conflict. Everyone was conversing in a friendly manner, and there was not a hint of anxiousness or anger on their faces. Even when they spoke, they were all speaking softly.
… It turned out that they were not whispering, but simply lowering their voices.
Annie suddenly understood.
It was as if everyone had awakened the most gentle side in their hearts.
A strong sense of dissonance surfaced in Annie's heart. This was the power she felt during the baptism. Later on, when she prayed, the tranquility she felt in her heart was so awkward, as if it was fake and disguised.
This was what the real moon should be like!
"You feel it?"
Athena looked at her expression and suddenly said, "The real moon, right?"
Annie turned her head and met her friend's eyes. She thought of what she said about "not a coincidence" and "the crime of the Dome Church", and suddenly felt a chill on her back.
Was this the truth that Father Vincent wanted to tell them?
If that dream was true, then Father Vincent was murdered. Now, even the belief in the moon was fake.
Then the Dome Church had been hiding their cruel nature all this time. God, could it be that the biggest church in Nuo Jin was actually the Dome Church?
Annie took a deep breath to calm her mind. When she was surprised and uncertain, the Central Police Station police officer standing behind the counter suddenly walked out.
The bookstore suddenly quieted down. Everyone looked at the young man standing in the middle.
This young man was of course Ke Laode. He had replaced his subordinate who announced the news of the gathering and became the organizer of the gathering.
"Ahem." Ke Laode cleared his throat and said, "Everyone, I think you all came here because of that dream. And I believe that since you all came here, you all believe in the reality of the dream and believe in Father Vincent's character. Today, you will know the truth."
His gaze was stern. "We have collected evidence of the Dome Church's actions under the cover of darkness over the years. The evidence will expose their evil deeds under the sun. We will also find out what happened to Father Vincent. The Church is carrying out a terrifying act."
"But, before everything begins, there is one thing we have to do …"
Ke Laode took out his pistol and pointed the black muzzle at one of the tables. "Do you want me to break the communication device in your hand? Mr. Mole. "
Although they were knights on the inside, they were still police officers on the outside. Guns were standard.
They had expected a mole to appear and leak information to the Dome Church. After all, the Dome Church's power and influence over the years was not small. But for the mole, it was a heart attack.
The middle-aged man in a leather jacket had stubble all over his face. He stood up and raised his hand. "Hey, I don't know what you're talking about. I'm here because I believe in Father Vincent. I hope I can do something for him. How can you slander me like this …"
"Oh? Is that so? "
A gentle voice suddenly sounded. Everyone suddenly saw Father Vincent with a black cloth covering his eyes appear behind the middle-aged man.
"I think the muzzle is pointed at the table. You stood up in such a hurry because you can't wait to admit it?"
Vincent slowly walked to the center. Everyone realized that he was not wearing a priest's robe. Instead, he was wearing a crown and a golden robe. It looked more like the daily attire of a pope.
The middle-aged man's expression changed. He panicked. "I was just … I was just nervous!"
Vincent continued to smile. "Then you were too nervous. So nervous that … you didn't even cover the explosives on your body properly."
The middle-aged man's expression froze. The next moment, his expression became ferocious. He shouted, "Traitors must die!"
He lifted the leather jacket, revealing a row of explosives underneath.
