[Ke Fei]Shanghai Knights

"Ah, it wasn't you who helped us, we must have died, right?" Ferid said the same language as the girl, let go of his arms and jumped out from behind Crowley, welcoming the girl with exaggerated to ridiculous enthusiasm , "You are our savior. May I ask the heroine's name?"

Maybe it's because of the dialect, Crowley couldn't understand a single word of the girl's words, and what Ferid said, because of his experience of visiting the Far East hundreds of years ago, the red-haired vampire could guess Eighty-eight.Seeing Ferid stretch out his palm to the girl with an exaggerated smile, Crowley sighed silently, trying to pretend that he didn't exist.

Seeing that Ferid was about to shake her hand, the Chinese girl quickly took a step back, cleared her throat and replied, "You are welcome. Since you are all fine, I will take my leave."

"What did she say?" Crowley turned slightly and asked Ferid softly.Being able to talk to each other, obviously dialect is not an obstacle for the silver-haired vampire.Although learning a new language as a vampire has become less difficult, Ferid's learning ability is still often staggering.

As if he didn't hear it, Ferid took a step forward hastily, and continued in a persuasive tone, "Where are you going? You don't speak a local, do you?"

"You can hear that too?"

However, Ferid ignored Crowley again and continued, "Please let us repay you for saving your life."

The girl repeatedly waved her hands and refused, "No need, I can stay where I am..."

"It's so late, where are you going to find a place to stay?" Ferid interrupted the girl's voice, and said like a marble, "Why don't you stay at our house for one night, our house is nearby."

Ferid's fast speech made Crowley completely unable to keep up with the conversation between the two, and could only capture a few words like "too late" and "home".Give up guessing the content of Ferid's words, judging from the girl's weird expression, it must be full of silver-haired vampire style, out of place words.Crowley could only smile blankly, responding to the girl's suspicious probing gaze.

"Thank you, but I'm afraid it's inconvenient." The girl said dryly.

"Why is it inconvenient?" Ferid showed a puzzled expression, and then pointed to the red-haired vampire as if he suddenly realized, "If you are worried about this man, I will take care of him."

"What are you talking about me?" The topic seemed to suddenly turn to himself, and Crowley looked helplessly at the silver-haired vampire.The tone of the other party didn't sound like he was saying anything good no matter how he heard it.

"Don't refuse, come on~" After saying that, Ferid walked around behind the girl, and put his arms around his shoulders to forcibly lead the girl's pace.

"Huh? Ferid, where are you going?" Crowley asked hesitantly as he turned his eyes around the silver-haired vampire's arm holding the girl.He had just returned from dining in the ballroom, and if it was an extra meal for himself, Ferid's appetite would have been much better.And... Crowley's gaze swept across the girl's tall figure, and finally landed on the other's plump chest—it wasn't Ferid's favorite type at all.

"Crowley, where are you looking?" Ferid raised his light-colored slender eyebrows, showing a playful smile, "What a pervert." As if to prevent the girl from understanding, the silver-haired vampire deliberately used French.

Crowley shook his head helplessly, sighed, and followed Ferid's footsteps.

When Crowley stood at the door of his house, he still looked at Ferid with a dazed expression as he opened the door with the key and urged the Chinese girl to enter the house.

"Well, Ferid." Looking at the back of the silver-haired vampire, Crowley couldn't help asking, "Are we going home?"

"Of course." Ferid turned his head when he heard the sound, and looked around the red-haired vampire with surprised eyes. "You still don't go home at this hour. Do you have any other wonderful nightlife, Crowley?"

"I didn't mean that." Crowley sighed softly at Ferid's teasing red pupils, feeling that he was really pitifully stupid for explaining seriously.Shaking his head, the red-haired vampire said bluntly, "Let's agree to bring the food home."

"Ha~" Ferid grinned with a smirk, turned his head to look at the Chinese girl, and put on another hospitable and hypocritical smile as if changing his face, "Oh, why are you still standing at the door, hurry up , come into the house quickly, let me pour you a cup of good black tea."

Soon, black tea and refreshments were placed on the coffee table in the living room.The top-quality Ceylon black tea is served in an exquisite ceramic tea set, exuding a strong aroma. In the small saucer that matches the tea set, there are butter cookies of different shapes and various dried fruits. Quality West Point fork.

Of course, all the food is for one person, and it was all placed in front of the girl.

Sitting in the living room as bright as day, Crowley was finally able to see the girl who knocked down the monster in detail.She was wearing a light blue slim-fit cheongsam with a beige fleece coat. Judging from the exquisite workmanship and novel style of the clothing, she should be from a well-to-do family.At this time, the girl was facing the rich snacks and luxury tableware that were suddenly placed in front of her as if by magic, showing a strange look of suspicion and helplessness.Crowley is very familiar with the girl's expression, because people always show similar expressions when facing Ferid from time to time.

"Eat quickly, is it because the food is not to your liking?" Ferid asked pretendingly puzzled.

"Being forced back to your home by a suspicious guy, ordinary people wouldn't talk, right?" The girl didn't have the slightest intention of picking up the fork, she raised her head to meet Ferid's gaze, and said lightly, "I don't even Know your name."

Crowley glanced around between the girl with vigilant eyes and Ferid's hurt face, and couldn't help chuckling, "Although I don't understand, I don't think people are hurt by you at all. tricked by his acting skills."

"This is really disrespectful, but we don't know your name yet." Ferid continued to speak to the girl as if he didn't hear Crowley's gloating.

The girl raised her eyebrows slightly, apparently surprised by the silver-haired vampire's brazenness.Crowley can fully understand the other party's mood at this time, because this is exactly how he has always felt.

"I think I'd better go back." The girl said as she stood up and walked towards the door.

Ferid did not know when he stood in front of the Chinese girl.Crowley raised his eyebrows and looked at the silver-haired vampire with a more suspicious and courteous look and explained with some amusement: "Girl, please stay. We are not suspicious people, my name is Ferid Bartoli, A teacher at the school next door; and he, his name is Crowley Eusford, who, though it may seem implausible, is also a minister at the school."

"Teacher from the school next door?" The girl showed a thoughtful expression, and asked after a while, "Then you should be able to speak English?"

The girl used familiar English in the second sentence, and Crowley understood the girl's words for the first time, "You know English, what did you just say?"

"You two are too suspicious." The girl repeated her speech in English, still looking eager to get away.But she can't be blamed. Crowley vaguely remembered that he had a similar reaction when he was entangled with Ferid for the first time.

"Why do you say that?" Ferid persistently tried to persuade the girl to stay, "I just want to repay my benefactor for saving his life."

The girl didn't make a sound, but conveyed the meaning of "Do I need to explain this clearly" with her eyes.She bypassed Ferid, walked straight to the door, and said flatly, "No need."

"Then at least tell me how to find you, in case we encounter the monster just now..." As if remembering the appearance of the monster, Ferid showed a sympathetic and frightened look.Seriously, Crowley couldn't help thinking, wouldn't Ferid really consider improving his acting skills?The flamboyant line of stage play is hard to convince people.

"As long as you don't hang around outside in the middle of the night, you'll be fine. Zombies are afraid of the sun and won't come out during the day." The girl said loudly without looking back, "It's really hard for me to go out in the middle of the night. Can't believe you are teachers and pastors."

"But people always have a bit of a night life." The silver-haired vampire seemed to never know what it means to give up, and muttered, "Since you don't want to tell us where you live, at least leave us some props to deal with zombies, such as that yellow note, and the sword made of copper coins."

This time, the girl stopped.She stood in front of the gate, turned around and said with a smile, "You want my props? All right, buy them with money. The money sword is not for sale, and the talisman paper. Considering that acquaintance is fate, it counts. You can pay five yuan for an ocean."

"Deal." Ferid readily took out his wallet, lowered his head to count the contents inside, and sighed with some distress, "Well, the cash is not enough. Let's buy two first." He took out ten oceans and handed them to the girl.

After receiving the silver coin, the girl showed her first sincere smile, "I just like a straightforward client like you." Returning two fluffy yellow papers from the silver-haired vampire, the girl waved her hand, "Thanks for taking care of me, welcome to come again next time Patronize."

"Then as a after-sales service, let me see your copper coin sword." Before the girl could react, Ferid reached for the strange long sword pinned to the other's waist.

"Danger!" The girl exclaimed, but it was too late, a bright red scar appeared on Ferid's white palm, and blood beads rolled down from the wound, and soon dyed the entire palm red, looking Some shocking.

"Ah, my hand was cut." Pulling back his hand, Ferid looked down at the bleeding wound, licked his lips and said, "Although it's made of copper coins, I didn't expect it to be so sharp."

Crowley's throat rolled. Although he was full before, the sweetness of blood floated to his nose, which still made the red-haired vampire instinctively feel a burst of longing.He raised his eyes and gave Ferid a narrow glance. The silver-haired vampire seemed to torture him deliberately, letting the blood flow out from the wound.Wait, Crowley paused invisibly, why hasn't Ferid's wound healed yet?

"Hello, Ferid." Looking at the silver-haired vampire's bleeding wound, Crowley couldn't help calling out.

"Well, I'm sorry, I'm going back to treat the wound, so be careful all the way." After saying that, Ferid retreated into the room, waved to the girl, and then suddenly turned his head, "By the way, what's your name? "

The girl's eyes stayed on Ferid's injured palm for a moment, and finally replied: "Gu Xiaoman."

"Well, I remember, I think we will meet again." Holding his wounded hand on his chest, Ferid smiled and watched the girl walk out of the room.

"I don't want to see you again." The girl sneered, and waved to the two of them as well, and the closed door gradually concealed her figure.

After the door was closed, Crowley turned his head to Ferid and asked, "Just let her go like this?"

"Oh~ What does Crowley the pervert think about young girls?" Ferid raised his eyebrows jokingly, stretched out his injured right hand, and brushed the red-haired vampire's cheek with his fingers ambiguously.The blood from his finger left a red wet streak on Crowley's face.

The smell of blood that was close at hand stimulated Crowley's appetite. Before he realized it, his instinct had already taken over his body, causing him to raise his hand and grab Ferid's wrist, preventing the palm that exuded the aroma of sweet food from leaving.

"What do you think?" Ferid didn't withdraw his palm, but instead spread his five fingers, fully exposing the wound to Crowley's eyes, and asked with interest as he turned his head.

The wound left by the money sword hasn't fully healed yet, but Crowley can vaguely see new tender flesh in the place where his palm was cut, and he thinks it will recover after a while.For humans, this may be considered an astonishingly rapid recovery ability, but for vampires like them, it is unprecedentedly slow.Lowering his head and slowly licking the blood on Ferid's palm, feeling the magical and seductive taste spread on the tip of his tongue, Crowley asked vaguely, "What do you mean?"

Ferid raised the corner of his mouth, "All."

The bleeding from the wound had gradually stopped. Crowley licked away the last drop of blood from the red scar, raised his head and asked curiously to the silver-haired vampire, "Wound that won't heal, who is that woman?"

"Are you really interested in him?" Ferid smiled teasingly, and Ferid withdrew his palm. There was no blood, and the scar on his palm looked a little pale.

Crowley chuckled helplessly and said, "Don't be kidding, you know what I'm referring to."

Finally, he glanced at his palm again. Ferid lowered his arms and shrugged casually, "Probably someone like an exorcist who specializes in exorcising supernatural monsters."

"Oh~ so what is that monster called 'zombie'?" Crowley looked at Ferid meaningfully.A random late return and the unlucky bump into a monster?By the side of the silver-haired vampire, Crowley never believed in any so-called 'coincidence'.Recalling the weird creature called "zombie", he turned his head and mused, "It seeks blood like a vampire, but it seems to have no intelligence. I have never seen such a vampire."

"Um~ so what the hell is that?" Ferid just showed that obnoxious smile as usual.

"You know that?" Crowley raised an eyebrow.

"I've heard the rumors." Unexpectedly, Ferid replied, "Do you know why only the nobles are allowed to convert humans into vampires? Because low-level vampires can only turn people into mindless hungry people." Ghost, of course I haven't seen it. Because the superior ancestors would not allow such a thing to happen."

"That means there is a low-level vampire here who doesn't know the rules?" Crowley turned his head thoughtfully, "So this is your purpose? To eliminate the hungry ghosts wandering around."

The silver-haired vampire laughed, "How is it possible? I won't interfere in such a boring thing."

Crowley was not so easy to be persuaded, he slightly curved his lips and asked, "Then what if you include the exorcist?"

"Hahahaha, Crowley, you're really funny." Ferid laughed as if he was amused, he could hardly stand still, and leaned his whole body against the red-haired vampire's chest.

Even though he knew that Ferid would not fall, Crowley still sighed lightly and supported the other's shoulder, and asked again: "So what exactly?"

Without leaving Crowley's embrace, Ferid raised his head to meet the gaze of the red-haired vampire in the posture of being close to him, and a gleam of interest flashed in his bewitching red pupils, "Since you are so curious, why not?" Let's meet that Chinese exorcist again."

"But I remember you scared her away just now," Crowley reminded.

Ferid said indifferently: "Since she came here specially to investigate the 'zombies', as long as we also go to investigate, we will always meet her."

Investigating "zombies"?Crowley didn't remember the exorcist saying anything like that, or maybe he just didn't understand it.In any case, the red-haired vampire frowned and asked, "How did you know? You really paid attention to her from the beginning, right?"

"No, it's obvious, it's just that you didn't read it." Pushing Crowley away, Ferid walked to the place where the girl was served and sat down. At some point, there was a small piece of paper between his fingers. Looking up at the red-haired vampire with a smile, "This is the ticket on her body. She departed from Tianjin two days ago. After calculating the time, she should have arrived in Shanghai today. After more than two days of travel, she didn't have time to rest, so she started from the zombie She saved us by hand, do you think she came here with a purpose?"

Crowley took the train ticket from Ferid. The Chinese characters on it were just a combination of lines to him, but the Arabic numerals stamped on it were recognized by Crowley, which was indeed exactly what Ferid said.But, compared to this...

"Have you changed your career to become a thief?" Crowley shook the tissue paper in his hand slightly, with a mocking smile on his lips.

Ferid reached out and pulled Crowley's tie from his chest, forcing the latter to bend down.Crowley caught off guard and reached out to support the coffee table with a pile of snacks to maintain balance. The cups and saucers made a dangerous clatter under the red-haired vampire.The pressure on his neck didn't decrease but increased, and Crowley raised his eyes to meet Ferid's face, which was close at hand.The silver-haired vampire bent its bright red thin lips, showing an ambiguous smile like a demon tempting people to fall, and breathed lightly on the tip of Crowley's nose, "Then let me steal your heart together next time."
