Chapter 276 Twelve Constellations (Subscribe for updates)
Isabella thought too much.
The little incident during lunch was just a casual question from Zhong Shenxiu.
After it was over, he did not go back to the bedroom to catch up on his sleep, but came to the study.
On the bright mahogany bookshelf, there are some scattered books, which look a little thin.
In the Mesomean Federation, knowledge was expensive, and the literacy rate among the poor had never even exceeded 5%. Many people could only write their own names, so they often fell into various fraud traps and were treated as innocent scapegoats.
After all, it would be too difficult to make people who can't understand the contract understand what traps there are.
Zhong Shenxiu leaned back on the soft chair and casually pulled out a book called "An Overview of Religion".
This brown hard-covered book records the religions that are widely spread in the Mesoemia Federation and several large colonies. It is the most comprehensive book he has obtained.
Of course, most of them are very orthodox churches.
He turned over a page at random: "... The Church of Si Sui believes in a god who controls time. They believe that the other party is named 'Si Sui', and that his own existence is the definition of time... Before the other party appears, there is no one in the world. There is almost no stable concept of time, so to a certain extent, Si Sui is time itself.”
"Believers in Si Sui adhere to the concept of time, and lateness and delay are very unbearable for them... They like to hold large-scale prayer ceremonies at the beginning and end of the month, but the god Si Sui has never performed any miracles... ...The priests claim that Si Sui is the oldest god, and defining time is his greatest miracle..."
"In addition to the Church of Si Sui, the Church of the God of Seven Difficulties is also an orthodox religion recognized by the federation. It promotes the concept of suffering and believes that people are born to suffer, so that they can wash away their sins. Priests often use it in celebrations Some priests choose to self-flagellate in order to pray for salvation...while other priests with extreme ideas choose to whip others. There is no doubt that the latter are suspected of violating federal law..."
…
"In the Xili colony, the local indigenous people have very unique natural beliefs and totem worship. A sect called 'Voodoo' is widely spread in Xili and has even been found in overseas colonies on other continents... Regarding these regions, customs, How the ignorant indigenous people from different continents, who speak completely different languages and have no ability to travel to the sea, share a common belief is a difficult problem that the religious community has yet to figure out..."
"Among the various primitive tribes, there are as many different objects of worship as stars in the sky. Just the primitive worship found on the Red Earth Continent, there are currently 92 types in total..."
…
"Sili people... voodoo worship?"
"Well, as a colonial native, although I am ignorant, there may be some mysterious inheritance..."
"The Notting Hill family should know something about this, right?"
Thinking of this family, a sneer appeared on Zhong Shenxiu's face.
Although after the last threat, the two sides felt a little bit different from each other, he knew that the other side had been planning revenge.
It's just that I'm not sure I can win, so I'm just holding back.
Once something happens to him, his prosperous career and this beautiful family will collapse like a castle on the sand dunes.
"I don't know if the other party can bring in someone from the mysterious side... This may also be an opportunity."
Zhong Shenxiu thought to himself.
He just wanted to slowly penetrate into the mysterious side of this world, and didn't want to be exposed to too high-level gazes from the beginning.
Such as the Special Affairs Bureau!
There must be very powerful Beyonders in such a large federal organization, and the methods they can use will exceed his imagination.
Maybe, you will discover some secrets about Levi!
The kind of extraordinary person who can be invited by a gangster will probably not be that powerful and can be easily dealt with, thereby opening the door to a new world.
After thinking about these things, Zhong Shenxiu put the books back on the bookshelf, returned to the bedroom, and began to rest.
In the evening, when night fell, he enjoyed a sumptuous dinner with his family, and then came to the Whisperer Bar under the protection of Scarface.
Today the bar is busier than ever, with more well-dressed men.
Zhong Shenxiu was wearing a white shirt and a black vest, looking at the life in the bar with interest.
Suddenly, with the eyes of the men in the room, Ms. Julie came to the Whisperer Bar again.
"Welcome, beautiful lady, the whole bar is illuminated by your arrival!"
Zhong Shenxiu showed a smile.
"What do you recommend today?"
Julie took off her black gloves, put them on the bar, and asked casually.
It seems like she really likes the cocktails here.
"Pretty in Pink!"
Zhong Shenxiu casually added the egg whites and pomegranate syrup to the shaker, then added milk and cream to create a beautiful and dreamy pink cocktail.
"It is also one of the twelve zodiac signs, representing romantic love!"
"Twelve zodiac signs?"
Julie smiled and took a sip of the cocktail: "Unfortunately... I'm past the age of believing in love. You'd better tell me about zodiac signs."
"Haha, this is my private name, representing twelve different cocktails."
Zhong Shenxiu wiped his palms with a handkerchief and answered with a smile.
"Then can I order a drink for each?" Julie became interested and asked with her white right hand on her chin.
"No, I will make random arrangements every day..."
Zhong Shenxiu smiled and shook his head: "Looking forward to new surprises every day is the secret to keeping your heart young."
"You are so interesting..."
Julie laughed, and her bright look immediately attracted the attention of more men present.
A drunken man seemed to have made up his mind and squeezed over rudely with a glass of beer: "Beautiful... beautiful girl, let's have a drink together... burp... maybe we can also talk about the price... burp …”
"This gentleman...forget it, I'm too lazy to say any kind words."
Zhong Shenxiu frowned and said helplessly.
There are people like this in every bar, and he has seen a lot of them.
At this time, he couldn't help but snap his fingers.
Snapped!
Two bodyguards suddenly appeared, picked up the drunkard one on the left and one on the right, and threw him out.
There were a few guys who seemed to be the drunkard's companions. The blood rushed to their heads and they were about to curse people and hit people with wine bottles.
Immediately, they saw the bartender take out a typewriter from under the bar.
The sound in the bar suddenly became quiet, and everyone was dumbfounded.
Only then did someone vaguely recall that the previous owner of this bar was easily overthrown by a young man with a typewriter.
"We welcome every guest, but that doesn't mean we have to tolerate rudeness!"
Zhong Shenxiu pointed his gun at those people: "Scarface, please invite these guests out. Remember to pay for the drinks first."
"Okay, boss!"
Scarface, who hurried in, looked at those people with a fierce expression on his face.
"You surprised me once again."
There was a smile on Julie's lips, as if she was watching a drama, and she commented at the end: "Are you the boss here?"
"Yes, after all, no one stipulates that the boss cannot work part-time as a bartender..."
Zhong Shenxiu put away the typewriter and shrugged his shoulders.
