I'm an antique shop owner, so it's reasonable for me to know some magic

Chapter 391 Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chick
Just as Su Fan was talking to Theresa, a group of people walked into the restaurant.

Their clothes were no different from those of everyone else, but the moment they stepped into this place, Su Fan frowned.

Theresa’s heart skipped a beat when she noticed the change in the former’s expression.

Before, Su Fan frowned and found the body of a woman killed by a vampire in the alley.

Now, not long after, his face showed strange expression again.

Has another murder occurred?

Theresa'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 so strong, but the other party’s behavior is too eye-catching.

Men and women came in front of the diners in an organized manner, holding thick leaflets in their hands, whispering to each other, as if they were selling something.

The table for two was no exception.

"Sir and Madam, please allow me to take a minute to introduce the god we believe in, the great Chaos..."

The man with a kind smile just opened his mouth when Theresa took out the cross hanging on her chest with one hand.

It's amazing that they could come up with the idea of ​​selling other religions to a nun who has lived in a convent since childhood.

If most people realized this, they would have turned around and left quietly, but the man had no intention of retreating.

"It can be seen that you are a person of faith, but it is precisely because of this that you should invest your precious faith in the true God."

Theresa, who was always gentle and polite, showed a rare look of anger on her face.

The other party not only despised her own wishes, but also trampled on her beliefs.

Just as she was about to speak, the restaurant's lobby manager came over immediately.

"It's you guys again! I've told you that this restaurant does not allow any missionary activities! If you don't leave, I'm going to call the police!"

The man scolded the other person mercilessly and took out his mobile phone.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the group of people immediately left the restaurant and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.

After driving away the uninvited guests, the lobby manager immediately apologized to Su Fan and the others.

"Due to the negligence of this restaurant, the two of you experienced unpleasantness during your meal. As compensation, the bill of our restaurant will be settled at 50% off."

The manager spoke very politely and sincerely, which calmed down Theresa, who was previously unhappy.

"From what you just said, it seems that this group of people is not the first time to come here to preach?"

Su Fan suddenly asked.

"That's right."

The manager explained.

"This group of people started to operate in this area about a month ago. Their main purpose is to recruit people into the new religious sect they believe in."

"Although we called the police and sent them to jail several times for disturbing public order, it was only a temporary solution and not a permanent cure. After a while, they would resume their previous activities after they were released."

"But please rest assured, their leader assured us that the members of the cult will not do anything extreme."

"Have you met the leader of the cult?"

Theresa was surprised.

"Yes."

As he spoke, the lobby manager glanced at Su Fan unnaturally.

Although it was only a moment, it was still captured by the latter.

"It seems that I have similarities with that leader."

"Your sensitivity is truly admirable."

The lobby manager praised sincerely and acknowledged Su Fan's statement.

"He is indeed from East Asia, just like you, but I can't tell which country he is from."

"His speech and behavior are very polite. You can't tell at all that he is the leader of that kind of organization."

He seemed to recall the scene of his conversation with the other party and sighed subconsciously.

But he soon realized that he had said too much.

"I'm very sorry for saying something that makes no sense. Please continue eating."

"It's okay, you go and do your work first."

Su Fan smiled and asked the manager to leave.

"There are more and more such new sects now."

Theresa on the side did not continue to enjoy her dessert, but said this with a worried look on her face.

Even though the world governments are still performing the basic functions they should, their credibility has been completely lost.

The upper echelons are unable to formulate policies that are truly beneficial to the citizens, and the lower echelons are unable to guarantee the safety of the 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 going to the Vatican for pilgrimage has increased month by month, far exceeding any time in previous years.

As a believer, she should be happy from the standpoint of the Holy See, but in reality, only a very small part of them flocked to the Holy See.

As a result, the vast majority of the remaining people fell into cults. They worshiped any images they saw and believed in any gods they met, without asking for the origins, and fell into extreme sadness.

People with ulterior motives use this to make a fortune or expand their own power, and tragedies of broken families and deaths are endless.

The world has taken a turn for the worse, already teetering on the edge of the precipice called chaos.

“The world will get better.”

Su Fan said a bland positive energy 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 something stuck in the throat when speaking Chinese.

You might as well not say anything.

When Su Fan saw the other person's look, he chuckled in his heart, didn't say anything more, and quickly changed the subject.

"If you continue to stay here, you won't have time to visit other attractions."

Hearing this, Theresa finally stood up. She called the waiters over and asked them to bring boxes to pack up the unfinished desserts and food. Then she carried the boxes and left the restaurant with Su Fan.

Inside the restaurant, the lobby manager who had spoken to the two earlier looked at Su Fan's back and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

The guest seemed to be very interested in the leader of the cult. He originally wanted to reveal more about the man's characteristics, but for some reason he forgot it at the last minute.

"Why would I forget..."

The grown man had his hair blown up and fixed it with a wooden stick. It was so abrupt and obvious that it should have left a deep impression...

……

“How many places in London are left to visit?”

When Theresa heard Su Fan's question, she opened the travel guide in her hand, but couldn't give an answer for a long time.

Soon a hand came from the side and took it away.

Su Fan took a look and put it away.

"finish watching?"

"Ah."

Theresa looked surprised.

"Have you memorized the map?"

She knew that Su Fan possessed special abilities and powers that were beyond the reach of even the extraordinary, but she never knew that he had such abnormal memory and reading and writing abilities.

This is simply a photographic memory.

"No, it's just that your travel guide is useless."

"How is this possible? I found this in the church library before I came here."

"Where did you find it?"

"The Church's books..."

Theresa was halfway through her words when she realized what was happening.

Few of the books stored in the monastery were recently published, and most of them were old books that had been preserved for decades. She took the book from Su Fan in disbelief, turned it over to check the publication date, and it clearly said 1979...

"It's careless."

Theresa slapped her head in frustration.

"This is how to do?"

Today’s mobile phones are not as versatile as they will be in the future. If you want GPS function, you can only buy a car navigation system.

There was no time to find a local tour guide. Stopping a taxi and tipping the driver might help, but the problem was that they were on a pedestrian street.

Su Fan had no choice but to search his mind for some memories about famous British attractions, then walked to a newsstand on the street and bought a map.

"follow me."

Su Fan now feels like a certain round-headed blue cat who refuses to reveal his name. He is capable of investigating cases, exorcising evil spirits, and navigating when lost.

"Um……"

Theresa nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then took Su Fan's arm.

The two of them were just like ordinary men and women on the street, walking and stopping between tourist spots, occasionally stopping at a clothing store, but not buying anything.

While on the road, I always suggested Su Fan to visit the free attractions in London, and I looked down on even the cheapest souvenirs.

But when they see any new and exotic food, they will immediately be unable to move.

It made Su Fan wonder if this guy also had a Tupa in his head.

For example now.

"Wow... the burritos at this stall are three pounds more expensive than the one in front of me. I'd like to see what the difference is."

"Fish and chips? Try that."

"The buns with chocolate filling are interesting."

Theresa said this, and quickly took out some 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 dissuade him.

The Chinatown restaurants and other food stalls here cater to the local people's tastes and prepare dark dishes that Su Fan simply can't bear to see.

But Theresa ate with gusto.

If it were in my previous life, I would probably walk around and eat with a cup of milk tea in my hand.

As if sensing Su Fan's strange look, Theresa took a bite of the burrito and began to explain vaguely.

"Don't worry about my finances... The Vatican has prepared sufficient funds for everyone to go out this time..."

She swallowed the food in her mouth and said proudly.

"Last time in Los Angeles, I was grateful for your care. Now it's my turn."

Su Fan found it a little funny that her tone was full of the arrogance of a wealthy woman.

At this rate of eating, it wouldn't be long before she spent most of her money, and she still acted like she wanted to keep him.

Although he doesn't mind living off someone.

"You'd better fill your stomach first."

After saying this, Su Fan did not forget to remind Theresa.

"Wipe the corners of your mouth. There's sauce on them."

"Oh... help me get it."

Theresa handed the unfinished food in her hand to Su Fan and took out a tissue to wipe the corners of her mouth.

"Come to think of it, why didn't the boss give me some tissues when I went shopping? I remember there was such a service in other places."

"Because environmentalism in this place has pretty much taken over everything."

“Do you value environmental protection?”

“No, it’s about environmentalism.”

Su Fan spoke slowly.

“There is a difference between environmental protection and environmentalism.”

If we really value environmental protection, we should be willing to spend a lot of manpower and resources to rectify environmental problems, instead of not giving plastic straws and forcing people to use paper bags to carry things...

Su Fan has always found these British people very interesting. They talk about ideology, but all they think about is business.

They were marching for this trivial matter more than ten or twenty years ago, and they are still marching for this trivial matter more than ten or twenty years later.

In fact, animal protection and environmental protection are nothing more than a pretext for asking for money from the government and filling their own pockets.

As long as the pound is in place, even foam plastic can be blown into 100% harmless and clean.

Without them, Britain's high-speed rail might have cost less and been built a few more meters.

Yes, Jimmy.

Commissioner Smith was still too powerful, and the British treasury could not defeat him despite its best efforts.

The human heart is full of evil, and perhaps the emergence of evil spirits and supernatural phenomena is nothing more than an expansion of a way to commit crimes.

Su Fan recalled the Marvel movies that he had watched in his previous life and that were popular all over the world.

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.

As Su Fan thought so, he subconsciously bit the food in his hand.

It was only after the salty and spicy taste spread in my mouth that I realized something was wrong.

Turning around, I saw Theresa next to me seemed to be petrified.

"I'll buy you a new one later."

Su Fan said this, hesitated for a moment, and took a second bite.

I can't give it back to her.

Theresa didn't say anything, just followed Su Fan.

Fortunately, there were many similar snack stalls on the way to the scenic spot, and Theresa soon had a few more foods in her hands.

"The attraction we are going to this time is..."

"The Hanging Gardens."

Su Fan threw the leftover packaging in his hand casually, and it fell accurately into the trash can behind him.

“It’s called a sky garden, but it’s actually a botanical garden built in a high-rise building. There are restaurants and shops inside, 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, we should be able to make it in time."

It is free to visit and no tickets are required.

It is indeed a good choice to look at the skyline at dusk from a high building.

With the help of the map in his memory, Su Fan quickly found the address of the Sky Garden.

Strangely, there was no one queuing at the door, but there were some security guards standing guard.

"Let's go in quickly."

Theresa beside him was already getting impatient, but Su Fan held her back.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing, this attraction seems to be a little different from what I know..."

Faced with 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.

He had previously complained about Theresa having an outdated travel guide, but ended up making a similar mistake himself.

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a little funny.

One holds a map of the past, the other holds the memory of twenty years later.

Where there is a sleeping dragon, there must be a young phoenix accompanying it.
