Bei Shaohuan broke free from the inexplicable oppression and embarrassment, and when he came back to his senses, he was already covered in sweat.
"Xiao Bei, what's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Ms. Li Shufen sat diagonally across from Bei Shaohuan. Looking back, she could see clearly and couldn't help but be concerned, "Your face suddenly turned red."
Bei Shaohuan didn't know why. He wiped his forehead with a handkerchief and said, "It's probably my first time drinking this kind of wine, so I'm not used to it."
"No way, I don't have any reaction when I drink this wine." Bei Yunqing frowned and took a look at the bottle. "The alcohol is not high."
Professor Gu said: "The thing about alien wine is that many wines have the same alcohol content, but some people have nothing to do with it, and some people have a special reaction after drinking it. It all depends on how you feel about it. Are the components of the raw materials for brewing the wine suitable? I still remember one year when I went to an alien meeting for a meeting. An alien wine was served at the dinner. I drank only one glass and got drunk until I passed out. Then it was changed the next day. It doesn’t matter how you drink the same kind of wine. Unlike the earth, the raw materials for alien winemaking come from a wide range of sources and are too complex. It’s impossible to say which components will have a rejection effect after fermentation. This kind of drink If you're not used to it, just change it. We didn't react when we drank it, so we don't need to change it..."
Professor Gu's mixed sounds of changing drinks brushed past Gu Hanhan's ears, and she looked very unhappy. Gu Hanhan knew very well that this was definitely not because of the alcohol. She held Xiao Beixue's arm, and the image of Anthony's back that turned away just now echoed in her mind, and she was filled with anger.
——He came here to cause trouble and wanted to hurt others. Why did you protest with me? !
unacceptable!
Gu Hanhan was almost ready to start a lawsuit.
However, just when she was about to get up, a loud noise appeared at the steps leading from the first floor to the second floor of the restaurant, and then spread out from the stairs like ripples. Along the way from the stairs to the door, guests at the tables on both sides of the road stood up one after another.
I saw the waiters in the restaurant walking up to the tables one by one and explaining a few words to the guests in front of the tables. Then the guests stood up in a mess. Some of them left the restaurant under the persuasion and guidance of the waiters, but there were more The guests just stepped back a few steps and stood there on both sides of the aisle. They gathered there and talked a lot, and at the same time they kept looking towards the door, as if something strange and worth looking forward to was happening. The other guests who were still sitting in their seats and had not been invited by the waiters were also whispering to each other. As a result, the entire restaurant seemed to be quietly passing on some secret news.
The commotion spread through the air and reached Gu Hanhan's table in the distance in just a few seconds.
"What happened again?" Ms. Li Shufen put down her chopsticks and looked up, but she saw nothing.
"Is there another malfunction?" Professor Gu also turned his head, looking around and guessing, "Does this restaurant also have to be temporarily closed? That would be too bad, but there is nothing we can do if it is like this. There is indeed a system problem. It is very troublesome. In many cases, the cause cannot be found at all, and the machine must not be shut down for processing. Areas are closed and investigated one by one until the solution is solved. Otherwise, it will be even more hopeless when a full-scale outbreak occurs and the entire system collapses completely——"
"It doesn't look like it," Ms. Li Shufen interrupted Professor Gu and said, "It doesn't look like there is an emergency shutdown to evacuate people."
Gu Hanhan couldn't help but said: "Obviously someone important is here."
She knew what was going to happen without looking at it, so she sneered: "There are too many great people in Lighthouse Star. Ordinary people don't just have to give way when they meet. If you don't let them kneel down, it's a good thing. Ha." , a big shot who went to a five-star hotel to stage a show——"
Ms. Li Shufen frowned: "What big shot, a politician or a wealthy businessman?"
Aunt Qing said: "Isn't Lighthouse a free port?"
"No, he's neither a politician nor a businessman," Gu Hanhan said, "probably a religious person."
"Religious people?" Ms. Li Shufen and Aunt Qing were both startled.
"Monk?"
"Priest?"
"God stick?"
They asked in unison.
Gu Hanhan smiled "ha": "Yes, he is the magic stick."
Sure enough, as soon as Gu Hanhan finished speaking, he saw a group of religious guards dressed in black marching into the restaurant. They divided into two lines and blocked the onlookers behind, leaving a section of the way from the door to the stairs. Then a priest covered in thick red robes came in surrounded by more guards in black and priests in white.
"It's actually the great priest in red!"
The guests who were blocked behind the wall made a bigger commotion. People who were sitting on their seats also stood up, and many people made praying gestures towards him. Wherever his red robe passed, people actually knelt down to worship. However, the high priest showed no intention of responding. He went directly to the second floor of the restaurant. People only saw his bright red robe sweeping past and disappearing.
"This is too exaggerated." Ms. Li Shufen was dumbfounded.
Gu Hanhan was also surprised. She originally thought it was some Acropolis noble that Anthony had provoked, or Anthony, the bastard himself, was coming down, but she didn't expect that it turned out to be a red-clothed high priest from the temple - that's right. Anthony himself came in secret, so of course other Acropolis nobles had to come in secret if they wanted to come to him. The only ones who could show off in such a grand manner were the high-ranking priests of the temple.
Gu Hanhan, the great priest in red, looked very familiar in profile from a distance, so he must have been someone he had seen before. She thought hard, and then, suddenly, she remembered, wasn't this the great priest Bobby who had been hanging around with Anthony all day long, and was being sneaked around by that black-hearted bastard!
"Isn't he Black Widow's brother?" She couldn't help but frown, "What is he doing here? Looking for Anthony? Why is it so urgent that he just goes out in broad daylight?"
"I understand?" At this moment, Senior Xiaobei's mother clapped her hands and seemed to suddenly realize, "So that's it?"
Gu Hanhan was startled: "What do you know, Aunt Qing?"
"That's why I was late," Aunt Qing said. "I originally thought I was going the wrong way, but now it seems that's not the case."
She said: "When you guys came, I actually went downstairs not long after Xiaobei. I wanted to wait for you in the restaurant first. I looked at the hotel guide map in the Ring and there was a door from the elevator to the fifteenth floor. I went directly to the platform of the restaurant, but when I came down, I found that the door was locked. Then I tried to take the elevator, but it stopped at the 29th floor and never responded. I contacted the hotel service desk and said that the system was disordered due to equipment access failure. , has been discontinued for safety reasons. The hotel also sent a security guard, who led me around this floor for a long time and walked countless steps before entering the restaurant through the main entrance. When I left the elevator, I saw that The elevator had already started moving, and it started coming down from the 29th floor. I didn't care at the time. The system was out of order, and since it was unsafe, it couldn't be used. Now that I think about it, it was probably a special passage prepared for some religious priest. Didn't the priest just go up directly? Is that so? It turns out that the religion of the Lighthouse Planet is so privileged——"
"We also had to wait in line for a long time when we landed," Ms. Li Shufen recalled, inspired by senior Xiaobei's mother, "Maybe we were giving way to others without knowing it!"
She suddenly became filled with righteous indignation, and cursed regardless of whether it was true or not: "This is too arrogant! Why should we give way to a deceitful fake monk? What is the communication of the Earth Embassy? I have to find them, we Are the legal rights of Earth citizens on the Lighthouse Planet still protected? If they don’t care, I will return to Earth to complain about their inaction.”
"Aunt Li, Aunt Li," Bei Shaohuan quickly stopped, "This is all speculation. There is no evidence. It is not easy to contact the embassy."
Professor Gu also said: “It’s really not a mistake to go to the embassy for such a trivial matter.”
Ms. Li Shufen gave up, but she no longer had any favorable impression of the so-called lighthouse star religious people.
Professor Gu doesn't have a good impression of so-called religious people. He is not any less civilized than Ms. Li Shufen. At least he won't always complain and call the embassy hotline.
He said: "I have heard that religions are more prosperous in places like Freeport. Religious monks have a very high status and have many privileges. Is this the same in Lighthouse Star?" Then asked: "What religion is popular here in Lighthouse Star?" , many people believe it?"
"It's the Galaxy Temple Cult. There are many pan-believers, almost all of them."
Gu Hanhan frowned and looked unhappy. He didn't seem to be paying too much attention to what his father was saying. Therefore, Senior Xiaobei answered this question for Gu Hanhan.
He specifically explained to Professor Gu: "The religions practiced by all the free ports and countries in the galaxy should mainly belong to the category of temple religions. In general, the various religions subdivided in earth religions should all belong to the branches of temple religions. From the source of the power of their beliefs, they all come from the so-called God of the Universe. It is similar to the nature of different branches of the same theological system. There are many sects of the Temple Religion in the galaxy, and they are not affiliated with each other, and each has its own The Pope and the believers often even have a hostile relationship. Lighthouse Star is a headquarters in name only, so there are many high-level religious people. However, it is rare to meet such a high priest in red when he goes out to eat. I have been coming to Lighthouse Star for four years and this is the first time I have seen it. Ordinary monks don’t look like this when they go out in public."
Professor Gu smiled: "It seems that the great priest in red has a very high status in the clergy system of this temple."
But he actually has no interest in religion and religious priests, and he doesn't care. He just finds it troublesome, because he suggested: "Otherwise, let's find another restaurant. The priests are here, and there are so many people watching the fun. The mess may not be convenient for us to talk."
When Ms. Li Shufen heard this, her eyes immediately widened.
"If you don't change, just eat here," she said firmly. "Now, you think we are afraid of these aliens and fake monks!"
Bei Yunqing also said: "There's no need to leave. We'll deal with the trouble of going back and forth in case trouble comes to us."
Professor Gu had no choice but to pick up the wine bottle and pour wine for everyone: "Then let's have another drink."
"Don't worry about them, let's eat our food and they won't come over." Gu Hanhan said as if a moment too late after finishing the glass of wine.
Everyone laughed together, and Ms. Li Shufen said, "What was this girl thinking about just now?"
Gu Hanhan also smiled. She put down her wine glass, stood up and said, "I'm going to the bathroom."
