[Ke Fei]Shanghai Knights

"That's...an angel?!" Gu Xiaoman looked at the huge glass jar in front of him in shock, no, it should be said to be a "creature" in the glass jar.

The huge glass jar is filled with liquid, and a sleeping human child sleeps in it as if in the mother's placenta, but there are four wings spread out behind him, just like the angel in the biblical story.

The girl subconsciously took a few steps closer to the glass jar, as if she wanted to see the angel in it clearly.Suddenly she stopped in her tracks, surprise and disbelief flashed in her wide eyes, "No! This boy is..."

"Angel" has a familiar immature face, a face that several people present have seen.Not long ago, he was the one who brought several other children, and told them with both fear and curiosity about the zombies he had vaguely seen. I lay in ambush at the public school for most of the day.But now, the boy who was originally jumpy and lively curled up quietly in the glass jar, and he couldn't even confirm whether he was still breathing.

"What is this? What did you do to this boy? He's still alive..." Gu Xiaoman's throat throbbed hard, and she could even feel the pain of nausea.

Crowley glanced over the boy in the glass jar, and finally landed on the Masonic man, "Is this a human experiment? Humans still like to create such uncomfortable things."

Ferid brushed past Gu Xiaoman with a faint smile, his red eyes glowed with interest, "But what makes me more curious is how you carried out the experiment to this point."

"This is a sacred object given to us by God." The man let out a low smile of "cheating", and gently rubbed the surface of the glass jar with his palm piously and admiringly, until he touched a golden angel statue right in front of the glass jar. picture.The man stared at the golden little angel with fanatical gaze, and the madness in his voice made the listener shudder involuntarily.

"That's it?" Crowley asked as his eyes fell on the golden statue following the man's movements.

Ferid didn't answer the other party's question, but just clapped his hands and smiled with a "guess it" expression on his face: "Ah~ Sure enough, I guessed it from the beginning."

Crorillo sighed impatiently, but he repeated his question: "So what is that? Can you explain it?"

Ferid turned his head in response, as if he had just noticed the other party, and replied in a drawn-out tone: "Well~ that has a lot to do with the Templars~ Don't you know?"

"Stop talking nonsense, tell me as soon as you know." Crowley let out another breath and urged.

"Isn't it boring to know the answer all at once?" Ferid bent his lips pretending to be mysterious, and stretched out a finger to reach Crowley's eyes, blocking another urging from the other party who was about to say, "First Let me ask you, what is the full name of the Knights Templar?"

Crowley raised his eyebrows, but in the end he replied obediently: "...Christ and the Poor Knights of Solomon's Temple."

Nodding in satisfaction, Ferid looked at the other party with a playful look, "Well~ I won't comment on whether you are poor, but Solomon's Temple is indeed true. The original headquarters of the Knights Templar was established in Jerusalem. On the Temple Mount, where Solomon's Temple once stood, and in the ground of Solomon's Temple, it is said that a treasure from God Yahweh has been buried for mankind."

"Ark of the Covenant..." Crowley murmured and looked at the golden angel statue again, with some surprise in his eyes, "Are you trying to say that the angel statue is the cherubim on the Ark of the Covenant?"

Gu Xiaoman also turned his attention to the angel statue, which seemed nothing out of the ordinary at first glance, gasped and asked, "The ark of the covenant? Are you talking about the ark of the covenant that contains the 'Ten Commandments of Moses'?"

"Aha~ That's the one, but the rest is my guess." Ferid chuckled and snapped his fingers, talking eloquently, "The Templars found the legendary Ark of the Covenant buried on the Temple Mount, But before its function was discovered, Jerusalem fell, and the Templars who returned to France were also arrested by the King of France, and the Ark of the Covenant and the treasures of the Templars were once again lost somewhere in the world."

The man staring at the fragments of the ark of the covenant seemed to have never heard the movement around him, and he still focused his fiery gaze on the angel statue.

Ferid paused, and continued: "Hundreds of years later, the descendants of the surviving Templars reappeared on the stage of history under the name of the Freemasons, and they did not forget the sacred objects of God that they had found. After several twists and turns, they discovered that a corner of the Ark of the Covenant, which had been lost among the people, was in the hands of a certain Jewish businessman. In order to avoid the disaster of war in Europe, the Jewish businessman traveled to this country in the Far East, where he met a certain Young people who make exorcism a family business."

The girl was startled, and suddenly realized who the young man Ferid was referring to was, and subconsciously asked, "You mean my brother?"

The silver-haired man didn't give a definite answer, but just acquiesced with a smile, and continued his story: "They didn't know whether they knew about it in advance, or discovered the huge power hidden in the holy relic by accident, so they borrowed zombies and the Jewish The prison inmates separated by the community wall started the experiment. But the good times didn’t last long. Before their experiments came to fruition, the Templars or Freemasons who had been thinking about the Ark for centuries followed the footsteps of the Jewish merchants Also came here and usurped their experimental results."

After finishing his guess in one go, Ferid raised his eyes to the silent Crowley and the girl, turned his head slightly, like a child expecting a compliment, and turned his urging eyes on the two.

Gu Xiaoman just stood there dazedly, not knowing whether he expected the guess to be true or not.She wanted to know the cause of her brother's death, but she also didn't want to believe that her brother would use prisoners for human experiments.

After a while, Crowley coughed lightly, and spoke first: "When did you find out about this?"

"Well~ I've already said that this is speculation~" Ferid protested dissatisfiedly, "It's all my reasoning."

Crowley just raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, "Reasoning? Where did that Jewish businessman come from?"

Avoiding the other party's questioning eyes, Ferid said vaguely: "Ah, don't worry about such small details~"

"The Jews who crucified Jesus Christ also want to defile the holy ark?" The man who had been silent all this time suddenly gritted his teeth in a poisonous tone, paused and then continued, "Indeed That man's strange spell made a breakthrough in our stagnant research. It's a pity that he didn't know how to praise him, so he refused to cooperate with us, and he didn't want to use more people to do experiments."

The girl's palms hanging by her sides were clenched into fists, and she took a deep breath before turning to ask, "Where are the zombies that appeared here? Are the zombies also the product of your experiments?"

The man sneered disdainfully, "That's just a by-product of the experiment, and it's not worth mentioning at all except as a bait to lure you here."

"Then why are the experimental facilities in the prison abandoned, and you use children as subjects for human experiments?" Gu Xiaoman pressed his anger and asked.

"Pagan prisoners with deep sins cannot become the carrier of angels, only pure children can become the containers of angels in this world. Although this is not a finished product, it is enough to destroy you demons and heretics!"

As the man's voice fell, the originally calm liquid in the glass jar suddenly began to churn, and at the same time, the "angel" curled up with his knees suddenly opened his eyes.They were a pair of eyes that did not belong to humans, and there was no trace of agility and emotion that a boy should have. They were like a pair of inorganic glass beads, falling coldly on the people in front of the glass tank through the transparent tank wall.

The angel straightened its back, and the wings on the back stretched slightly in the cramped glass vessel. It raised its head and let out a scream that humans could not hear.The whistling sound contained huge energy, causing waves in the unknown liquid and hitting the upper tank wall. The thick glass collapsed in an instant, and sharp debris fragments shot out to the surroundings.

Gu Xiaoman immediately bent down, arousing the talisman paper to protect his body, and the glass fragments hit the transparent shield like a sharp blade, causing waves of ripples.The girl didn't dare to open her eyes until all the shards of glass fell to the ground.

The angel floated in the air, its white wings completely stretched out, and the whole body was shrouded in holy light.His emotionless eyes quietly looked down at the few people on the ground, as if looking at a few ants.

"Ah~ this is the power of angels..." The man's cheeks were bloodstained by glass shards, but he still looked up at the awakened angel with reverence, and in the next second he was obliterated by the angel's wings and shot out under the bright light.

The dazzling light was like the rising sun, and the hot wave swept towards the remaining three people.When Gu Xiaoman felt that he was like a mortal roasted under ten golden crows, he would be turned into ashes in the next second.And at this moment, she felt that she was pulled back by a huge force, and in the next instant, she had withdrawn to the hall they had just entered.

When the girl came back to her senses, she was already standing in the middle of a dozen corpses lying horizontally, while the tall man who had saved her life was standing beside her, staring at the direction they were just now.Gu Xiaoman followed Crowley's line of sight, and the terrifying heat that almost scorched her to ashes just now faintly leaked from the corridor connecting the room.The girl's pale face showed a look of lingering fear, and she murmured, "What is this angel?"

"This is a punishment from God." Ferid said slowly, "It is recorded in the Old Testament that people who approach the Ark without permission will be burned to ashes, right? Arrogant humans want to control the sky The power of punishment, this is the experiment of the angels."

After closing the heavy door in front of him, Crowley turned around and asked, "Hey, Ferid, didn't you come to stop the experiment? Now that it's activated, what are you going to do?"

"When did I say that I'm here to stop the experiment?" The heat wave has already rolled in through the heavy door, and it doesn't look like it will take long for the metal door to melt under the high temperature.Regarding this, the silver-haired man just smiled, and said to the remaining two: "Well~ It seems that we should run first~"

The girl asked in amazement, "Run? Where are you going? Do you want that monster to go up to the ground? The whole of Shanghai will be reduced to ashes!"

"What does this have to do with me? It doesn't matter how many humans die, anyway, they reproduce very quickly." The silver-haired man shrugged coldly, and a chill appeared on his usual frivolous smile.

Gu Xiaoman shook his head, "Human? What are you?"

Crowley just looked at Ferid, "But didn't you come to stop the experiment? If this thing goes up to the ground, other high-ranking ancestors will notice that your mission has failed. Does it really matter? "

"Hmm~" Ferid showed a contemplative expression, "Then, Crowley, go and stop the experiment. According to my speculation, the source of the angel's energy should be the cherubim fragments on the Ark of the Covenant, as long as it is destroyed..."

"You want to destroy the Ark of the Covenant?" Crowley interrupted the other party's words.

"Oh, our ex-templar knight is not happy anymore. What should we do?" Ferid glanced at Crowley playfully.

The voices of the two arguing could be heard next to their ears, and Gu Xiaoman's eyes were fixed on the iron gate between them and the angel.The unimaginable high temperature completely twisted and deformed the iron door, and the steaming white smoke showed the fact that it could not last long. "Stop talking nonsense, the door is already going to be sublimated."

"Okay, it's decided like this. The target of the angel is human beings. I took Miss Gu to escape as bait. Crowley, you take this opportunity to destroy the angel statue." Ferid did not give Crowley Any chance of objection, he grabbed the girl's waist and lifted her up like a cargo under his armpit.

"Hey! What are you going to do?" Gu Xiaoman asked in surprise and embarrassment.

Crowley also asked in disbelief: "What?! How do you let me bypass that angel?"

"Find out your own way. Let's take a step first~" He replied lightly, and Ferid waved his hand at the other party, and then disappeared into Crowley's field of vision with the girl.

The red-haired vampire who was left in place looked at the iron door that had been pierced by a hole by the high temperature, and couldn't help showing a wry smile. Even if he faced such terrifying energy, he would be reduced to ashes in a few seconds.

"Looks like I should run first." Taking stock of the situation, Crowley dodged to avoid another fork in the road, leaving a clear path for the angels who were chasing Ferid and the girl.

As Ferid said, the angels' targets seem to be only human maidens.He didn't even pause for a moment to be distracted by the hiding vampire, he chased the other two straight away.Crowley poked his head out from his hiding place, and the high temperature remaining in the hall immediately scorched the ends of his red hair into curls.However, time did not allow him to wait for the heat to dissipate. Crowley sighed and ran towards the room where the cherubim statues were.
