[Ke Fei]Shanghai Knights

This prison located on the north bank of the Pujiang River is said to be the largest prison in the Far East. The strict guards kept Crowley and his party out - after all, no prison would open its doors to a few people of unknown origin, saying " Please come in."

Glancing at the map in Ferid's hand, the surrounding area was covered by dense red dots. Crowley remembered that they passed through ordinary residential buildings on the way to get here, and the high walls surrounding the prison were connected into sheets. It always feels weird to say it.

"In this case, let's start the investigation from nearby." After Ferid gave an order, they turned their targets to the houses.The layout of the dwellings was quite cramped, and the narrow distance between the buildings made Crowley feel like the two people living at the opposite door could touch each other just by stretching out their hands.Walking through the crowded alleys, you can see locals picking vegetables, drying clothes, or having fun outside the house everywhere, and the latter all show up after seeing the strange combination of foreigners and Chinese girls. skeptical look.

Ferid said "Miss Gu, now is the time for you to show your talents", and pushed the girl out of the team.The girl was allowed to speak a completely incomprehensible dialect, asking for clues about zombies.

Crowley watched the girl show disappointment again after asking another nearby resident. "Thank you, excuse me." The girl forced a smile and took a step back.

"Still not harvested?" Ferid asked knowingly while waiting not far away.

The girl raised her eyes to the silver-haired vampire, frowned slightly tiredly and impatiently, "I don't understand why you insist on following."

Ferid didn't seem to notice the girl's repulsion towards him, so he curled his lips and replied, "As I said before, maybe we can help."

"Ha," the girl sneered unceremoniously, "Really? But I think your conspicuous outfits will only hinder the investigation."

Crowley looked at Ferid and himself following the girl's line of sight. The clothes on the former were exquisite and luxurious as a silver-haired vampire, while Crowley himself was still dressed as a priest.The red-haired vampire had to admit that what the girl said was somewhat reasonable, at least he and Ferid were incompatible with this cramped alley.

The silver-haired vampire just showed a faint smile indifferently, and asked after a while: "By the way, are you looking for someone? A man in his early 20s, with a medium build and good looks?"

Gu Xiaoman was startled when he heard the words, and then eagerly asked: "Have you seen it?"

The smile on the corner of Ferid's mouth grew wider, and he tapped the corners of his eyes lightly. Shi Shiran replied: "No, I just have better eyes." As he spoke, his eyes glanced at the girl's tightly clenched palms. .

The girl subconsciously let go of her fingers, and there was a photo lying there.Although the photo is a little wrinkled due to the girl's excited grip, it can still be seen that there are two protagonists on it, one of which is the young man Ferid just described, and the other is Gu Xiaoman himself.In the photo, the two look close, with bright smiles on their faces.

"What does he have to do with you?" Ferid couldn't hide his curiosity on his face, and he guessed enthusiastically, "You two look a little similar, are you brother and sister?"

The girl didn't answer, but her expression made Crowley feel that the other party had acquiesced.

Also aware that he guessed right, Ferid asked excitedly: "Hey~ It really is a brother and sister~ Is he missing? Ask here, maybe his disappearance has something to do with zombies?"

The girl just stared at the photo with her head down, and then she said awkwardly after a while: "I came to Shanghai to find out the whereabouts of my brother."

"Ah, it's really brother and sister~" Ferid exaggeratedly covered his chest and sighed, and then said, "But I can understand your anxiety, after all, I also have a cherished brother."

"You also have a brother?" The girl raised her eyebrows slightly, and the tone of her question was unclear, whether it was from doubt or ridicule.

"Of course, and you know him too." As he spoke, the silver-haired vampire took Crowley's arm affectionately, dragged him to his side, raised his face and asked with a light smile, "Right, my dear brother? "

"Don't be kidding, you don't even have the same surname." The girl was stunned for a moment, and then the anger of being teased appeared on her face.

Crowley looked at Ferid dumbfounded. According to the cognition of vampires, they are indeed "blood brothers", but in the eyes of ordinary people, there is no "brother" between him and Ferid. There are similarities.Rolling his eyes helplessly, Crowley could only answer ambiguously under the expectant gaze of the silver-haired vampire, "Well, that's it."

"Surname or something, it's a long story." After receiving Crowley's response, Ferid became more excited, and raised his voice to continue to the girl, "But you must believe that we are brothers who are truly connected by blood. !"

After wandering between the two with suspicious eyes for a moment, the girl finally murmured: "Perhaps the abnormal part is a bit similar."

"Don't compare me with him." Crowley shook off the silver-haired vampire, straightened his clothes, and felt the need to justify himself.

Ferid let go of his arms with some reluctance, and with a contrived voice that could be called "coquettish", he said with a protracted tone of laughter: "Crowley is really shy again."

"Let's stop here to show affection." The girl rolled her eyes impatiently, showing a slightly disgusted expression.She turned her head, stopped talking to Crowley and the two, and said instead, "The old lady just told me that there are many foreigners living across the road, maybe there may be some clues."

Crowley crossed his arms and looked up at a three-story building not far away. At first glance, it didn't seem much different from the surrounding houses.The walls built of blue bricks are paved with red bricks to form horizontal lines, and the verandah visible from the front is a typical local architectural style.However, the David Shield hanging in the middle of the porch shows its uniqueness-this is a Jewish synagogue.

Today happened to be Saturday, the Jewish Sabbath, and almost all the nearby Jews gathered in the synagogue.Crowley and Ferid stood at the entrance of the Jewish community, watching Gu Xiaoman take the opportunity to ask the Jews who came out of the synagogue. I feel that finding her brother may be more important to the girl than the zombie incident.

"Ah~ What a deep brotherhood, I was moved."

Crowley turned his head to the side at the sound, and saw Ferid wipe away the non-existent tears from the corners of his eyes.The red-haired vampire just slightly twitched the corners of his lips and let out a mocking monosyllable, "Ha."

"I'm at a loss for this snort. Do you think I won't come looking for you if you're gone?" The silver-haired vampire raised his eyebrows, as if he was challenging Crowley to question it.Seeing that the latter did not answer, Ferid put his palms on his chest again, and added like an aria, "My beloved brother, if you encounter any danger, I will definitely save you from the fire and water as soon as possible. "

"Stop joking. Also, can you stop calling me brother?" Crowley subconsciously took a small step back as he could almost feel goosebumps leaving him due to the other party's contrived tone.

But Ferid followed closely, and even let go of the palm covering his chest, and turned to lightly press on the red-haired vampire's chest, jokingly asked: "Oh, Crowley, are you shy? cute."

Holding Ferid's palm and moving it away from his chest, Crowley did not let go of him, but raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said, "No, I just feel a little sick."

"Your words really hurt my heart, don't you believe my brotherly love for you?" Ferid took another step towards the red-haired vampire, and their bodies were almost pressed together.He raised his head to meet Crowley's eyes, and there was a teasing smile in his bewitching red pupils.

This kind of dialogue has been repeated countless times between the two, as if it was a special ritual that only the two of them knew.This time, like countless times before, Crowley tilted his head in a slightly thoughtful manner, and then replied, "Well... After all, I was forcibly turned into a brother by you."

"Isn't that right? You are the brother I have been waiting for so long to find." Ferid laughed.

Crowley sighed, and half-jokingly replied: "It's my misfortune to be seen by you."

"Crowley, you're being dishonest again, obviously we are so in love~" Withdrawing his palm from the red-haired vampire's fingers, Ferid stuck it out to the former's cheek, but his fingers hadn't touched it yet. Crowley was interrupted by a female voice.

"Oh, my God, can't you guys do some serious business?" The girl didn't know when she ended her inquiry and walked to the side of the two, folded her hands on her chest, and rolled her eyes to the sky impatiently.

"Isn't it inconvenient for us?" Shi shruggedly withdrew his palm hanging in the air, Ferid glanced at the red-haired vampire's priest uniform, shrugged indifferently, "Look at Crowley's dress, I was afraid that if we went up to ask questions, we would only be kicked out."

"I think your ambiguous behavior is more likely to be kicked out." The sneer that the girl almost overflowed from the words made Crowley couldn't help chuckling.

Ferid gave the red-haired vampire a disapproving glance, as if to accuse the latter of his faux pas.Then he turned his eyes back to the girl and asked, "So, is there any result?"

Sadness appeared between the girl's eyebrows, she lowered her eyes slightly and shook her head, "No."

"So the zombie's whereabouts are as clueless as your brother who disappeared in pursuit of the zombie?"

The girl suddenly raised her head and stared straight at the silver-haired vampire, "How do you know how my brother disappeared? Could it be..."

"Don't think too much, it's just a simple reasoning." Before the girl could express her doubts, Ferid explained, "Most of your business is a family business, so your brother is engaged in killing zombies just like you There is a very high possibility of the work of your brother. And you have come all the way to Shanghai to follow the traces of the zombies, and you are still looking for witnesses who may have seen your brother in the zombie-infested places. From this point of view, your brother's disappearance is probably related to the zombies. Incident related, isn't it?"

The girl bit her lower lip and lowered her eyes again. Although she didn't answer, her expression was enough to tell the answer to the other two people's questions.

More and more people came out of the synagogue and scattered in nearby houses.The sky was already dark, and Crowley, who had no interest in investigating zombies, stretched his waist, "Since there is no gain, let's go back."

"Hmm~ It's not like I didn't gain anything." Ferid pointed to the boy who passed by them just now and said with a smile, "That kid, he just said to his mother, 'I've seen the brother in that photo' oh."
