[Ke Fei]Shanghai Knights

After passing through a narrow secret door, the two vampires left the secret room and returned to the ground.Crowley narrowed his eyes slightly and looked around. The strange room he was in made him hesitate to ask, "This...is a hospital?"

"That's right," Ferid replied cheerfully, and opened the door to reveal the whole interior of the hospital.In the middle of the night, there were only sporadic personnel on duty in the hospital, and no one seemed to have noticed the two unexpected guests who appeared suddenly, "Well, this is the police station hospital, and there is really no innovative way to trick prisoners into human experiments in the name of seeking medical treatment." .”

Walking out of the hospital gate, Crowley found that the prison where they were just now was just across the street from the hospital.In the deep night, the high wall looks a little scary even to vampires, and after the murder case in the prison is exposed tomorrow, it will be another hellish scene.However, as one of the instigators, his exclamation seems to be full of irony.

Stepping out of the hospital gate without hindrance, the cool wind blew over Crowley's cheeks, as if the bloody smell from the prison was still vaguely entangled.When passing by the hall where the Jews gathered, the red-haired vampire subconsciously glanced at it—speaking of which, the Jews here once mentioned that they had seen the elder brother of the Chinese girl, and they thought that the talisman in the secret room was indeed left by him yes.

Seemingly guessing what Crowley was thinking, Ferid turned half sideways, and said in an annoyed tone with a smile on his face, "What should I do? Shall I tell that child who is looking for her brother wholeheartedly, that her brother might have something to do with secret human experiments?" What about it?"

"Don't tell me you didn't think of this from the beginning," Crowley only showed suspicion, "otherwise you wouldn't be enthusiastic about helping, would you?"

"Well, is that so?" Ferid smiled frivolously, covered his heart and continued, "I really feel sorry for her."

Crowley let out a soft snort, then flinched in the cold wind, although to the vampire, this move was more of a show, "Compared to this, can we go home sooner? I think I need to change A suit of clothes."

Ferid looked surprised, and a playful smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of his mouth, "You still want to go home? You are the most vicious wanted criminal in Shanghai right now!"

Crowley raised his eyebrows, "Then what are you with me, a wanted criminal?"

Facing the red-haired vampire's challenging gaze, Ferid immediately changed into a panicked and contrived expression, and raised his voice in the silent street: "Oh, I'm an innocent victim hijacked by a murderer~ah Ah~ someone help me!"

"You're so annoying." Crowley sighed, resisting the urge to cover his ears, "Then where are we going now?"

Ferid turned his head sideways, and in his red eyes with a smile, Crowley couldn't see through his thoughts, "It's not too late, let's go find the person involved~"

"Why are you here?" Gu Xiaoman blinked, and the sleepiness in his eyes was replaced by vigilance and surprise in an instant.The girl who was still sleepy narrowed her eyes slightly, looked at the two uninvited guests and said, "What are you thinking about breaking into the lady's room in the middle of the night? Speaking of which, how did you get in?"

"Well~ this is a commercial secret." Ferid put his index finger on his cheek for a thoughtful expression, and then smiled, "Compared to this, we found important clues, so we came here to tell you non-stop of."

Wrapping her arms around her chest, the girl did not relax at all because of Ferid's words, rather she seemed more suspicious and guarded. "But I heard that the murderer of the zombie blood-sucking case has been caught. He is an unnamed foreigner..." She paused, then asked with a frown, "Could it be you who said that?"

"To be precise, it's 'you'." Ferid corrected with a smile.Crowley could only sigh at this.

"Your attire..." The girl's eyes turned around Crowley's blood-stained prison uniform, "Could it be that you escaped from prison?"

"Ahaha..." Crowley smiled wryly twice, but couldn't find any words to refute.

A soft "snap" made Crowley and the girl, who were staring stiffly at each other, turn their heads in the direction of the sound. Ferid clasped his hands together in front of his chest, and said with a smile, "The murderer of the zombie blood-sucking case will talk later. What I want to tell you about this is about your brother."

The girl was stunned for a moment when she heard the sound, and then asked impatiently, "What did you say?!"

Seeing this, the smile on the corner of Ferid's mouth grew stronger, and he replied slowly with a protracted tone: "Don't get excited, listen to me slowly. Well, where should I start~"

"Don't be a fool, what kind of information did you get?" The girl asked, if she didn't still have reason, she might have stepped forward and grabbed the silver-haired vampire by the collar to question her.

"You see what this is?"

Crowley looked towards Ferid. The silver-haired vampire was holding the talisman they found in the secret room in his hand. He didn't notice when the other party took it into his arms.

As if to tease the girl, Ferid deliberately shook the talisman paper.Gu Xiaoman turned a blind eye to the silver-haired vampire's playful smile, took a step forward and grabbed the talisman paper, flipped through it in his hand for a moment, and said, "This is brother's talisman paper, where did you get it?! "

"Wow, it's scary~" Ferid smiled frivolously, dodged behind Crowley, and continued slowly, "I'll be scared if you yell at me like that; It's easy to forget things."

The girl showed patience, took a step back, took a deep breath and repeated slowly: "Please tell me, where did you find my brother's talisman?"

"That's right~ Before explaining this talisman, we have to sort out the cause and effect." Ferid showed a satisfied smile, and walked out behind Crowley, "First of all, the cause of this incident It is a blood-sucking zombie case that happened in this area of ​​Shanghai. Of course, this may be just an accidental monster attacking people, but if not, then there must be a behind-the-scenes manipulator and purpose behind the incident. And our breakthrough lies in The prisoner who was supposed to be dead turned into a zombie."

"I've heard this before, so I don't need to repeat it again." The girl shook her head, interrupting Ferid's words impatiently.

This time, the silver-haired vampire didn't stop talking because of the girl's impoliteness, but continued with a smile: "Ah, is it? Then let's quickly get into the part you are interested in."

"The 'zombies' from the prison, the secret room under the prison, and the talisman paper of your brother found in the secret room." Ferid tapped the paper in the girl's hand, "plus your Brother came here after following the trail of the 'zombie'..."

The girl shook her head vigorously, "Don't you want to say that my brother is the mastermind behind all this? Don't be kidding, our family is a Taoist family that has been passed down from generation to generation to eliminate zombies. How could it be related to the blood-sucking zombie case?" ?”

"I didn't say that, I just said that your brother must be involved in this case." Ferid said unhurriedly.

The girl's fingers pinching the talisman paper turned slightly white, but she still gritted her teeth and insisted word by word: "It's just a talisman, it doesn't mean anything."

"But the Jews near the prison seem to have seen your brother." Crowley recalled.

The girl was startled blankly, then came to her senses, and asked angrily: "Could it be that time? Why didn't you tell me?!"

Ferid spread his hands, and said slowly and unmoved: "So what if I tell you at that time? It's just a sentence that I saw your brother once, and it can't tell you where he is now, it will only make you feel in vain. Trouble. Thank me."

The girl bit her lower lip tightly, and stared fiercely at the leisurely vampire with dark eyes filled with anger, "Then you don't have any other clues now? In the end, you only found a spell, and you know who is behind the scenes?" Is there anyone? Or do you know where my brother is now?"

"I think I have a clue." Only when the girl's voice gradually disappeared into the air did Ferid speak calmly, "The clues I found are not only this, but also this."

What Ferid took out of his pocket was the document he and Crowley had found in the secret room, with some unreadable characters jumbled on it.

"What is this?" The girl frowned.

"The Templar Code."

"What is a Templar?"

Ferid raised the corners of his lips, glanced playfully at Crowley from the corner of his eyes, and then met the girl's questioning gaze again, explaining: "The medieval European Catholic military monks used to crusade against heretics several times. It made a name for itself in the Crusades, but was destroyed in the fourteenth century by false accusations."

The girl frowned even tighter, "So what does this have to do with the current incident?"

"Listen to me," Ferid dragged his tone complainingly, "Although the Templar Knights were destroyed, not all the Templars died, and some of their survivors came to the strait separated from the European continent. England, where the Knights Templar passed on."

Although he was once a member of the Knights Templar, this was the first time Crowley had heard of what happened after the fall of these Knights.Raising his eyebrows unexpectedly, he asked half surprised and half questioning: "Is that true? I've never heard of it."

"This is a very famous story, you should care more about this world." Ferid squinted at Crowley with dissatisfaction, "Where did you just say? Ah, to those surviving Templars in the end with another The face appeared on the stage of history, and this is it."

As he spoke, Ferid raised Crowley's right hand and pointed the ring he wore on the middle finger in front of the girl, "The Freemasonry, this brotherhood scattered all over the world has inherited the legacy of the Knights Templar, With respect and love for God, they continued their ideal of expelling demons in this land of the Far East."

The girl shook her head and interrupted Ferid's words: "Wait, I still don't understand what you said has anything to do with zombies. Do you want to say that the 'Freemasons' are responsible for this incident? Behind the scenes?"

In fact, Crowley had the same question as the girl.He looked down at the ring on his finger—so, did this ring belong to the Freemasonry founded by survivors of the Templars?Forcing Crowley to put it on, it does have a bit of Ferid's bad taste.But is it really that simple?

And Ferid's next words confirmed Crowley's suspicion.

"I wasn't very sure, so I did a little experiment." Ferid raised the corner of his mouth, "This ring is something that only high-ranking Freemasons can have. Just imagine if the Freemasons here When the organization is secretly carrying out some human experiments without telling the mainland, how will they react when they find out that a high-ranking member from the mainland comes here? They will definitely panic. So they carefully tested whether the other party knew about it. Come, what will happen when you find out that that person is investigating the zombie blood-sucking case and found the prison at the key location?"

"You mean..." The girl seemed to think of something.

Ferid nodded, "That's right, they accused that person of zombie blood-sucking and put him in prison. I'm afraid they wanted to use the same method to turn that guy who got in the way into a zombie."

Apparently that's why Crowley was thrown in jail so quickly, the Freemasons thought he was a watcher sent from the homeland and had spotted hints of their illegal experimentation.Regarding this, Crowley sighed and said, "So it really wasn't you who framed me?"

"I've said it many times," Ferid spread his hands exaggeratedly, "It's all because of Crowley, you won't believe me~"

Crowley laughed lightly when he heard this, "But how do I remember that you shouted that I wanted to suck your blood, and then ran out?"

"Ah, I just realized that you were framed and wanted to protect yourself." Ferid smiled without any guilt. "Otherwise, who will save you, my dear brother?"

The girl gave a soft "tsk" impatiently, "You can talk about flirting later, where's my brother?"

"Since your brother's talisman and the Masonic sign appeared in the same place, there must be some kind of connection between the two?" Ferid turned his eyes back to the girl, "We have been exposed If you have lost your identity, I am afraid that if you come forward again, you will only scare the snake, so the next important task of finding your brother will be entrusted to you."
