Chapter 87: The Cardinal (2)
The afternoon sun shines through the large, transparent floor-to-ceiling windows, and the rich aroma of coffee spills over the body, and the time seems slow and elegant. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Xie Lingmo was not in the mood to enjoy it at all, she was so confused by the thick Latin accent English that her head was about to explode, and it took a long time to react before she barely understood: "So, this is a pattern used by vampires?" ”
Basel shook his head: "No, just because you used to be a vampire doesn't mean you're still a vampire. My guess is that this pattern should be usable more than just vampires. At the very least, werewolves who are humanoids like him can. Moreover, this book appeared in the 10th century, and although it is no longer visible, many people must have seen it at the time, so it is likely that this method has been learned long ago. ”
"What's more, the pattern you gave me is not the same as the one I found, which means that it has been improved, and the effect should be different from the previous one, so the scope of use should be different from the previous one. Lai, you just sent this to me, but you didn't tell me where you found it and what it does. My speculation would be very limited in this way. Would you rather tell me everything and let me help you make an inference? ”
Li Dingrui looked at Xie Lingmo hesitantly, after all, this is a matter of organizational secrets, and they can't say it so easily. What's more, although Basel is familiar with Lai Dingrui, Basel does not belong to the organization after all, and is a member of the Vatican Holy See.
Basel also saw the dilemma between the two, so he no longer asked them to say it, but asked in a different way: "Well, tell me first, did you see this pattern in a book, on a person, or somewhere?" ”
Li Dingrui thought about it for a while and felt that this question was not unanswerable, so he said: "I encountered a monster when I was on a mission in China. ”
"Did it have any effect on this youkai?"
"Yes," Lai nodded, "Do you remember a very similar case when we were in Florence?" We tried many ways to exorcise the demon of the controlled woman, and when we scalded the tattoo, the demon was exorcized. ”
Basel's eyes widened suddenly: "I almost forgot!" There is such a thing, but the pattern on that person's body is not the same as this. But listen to you, this pattern functions very similarly to that, right? ”
"Yes."
Basel touched his chin and pondered for a moment: "Well, if you look at it this way, it's very likely that these two patterns are from the same person's hand." However, this should be the final corrected version. I don't know much more, so I can only speculate about it here. ”
"That's enough," Lai said with a smile, "and we've got the most important information." Thank you Basel for coming to China for me. ”
Basel smiled: "It's nothing, I also like China." I'm going to play a few more days this time, and I'm here to answer your questions. But, of course, you still have to thank me. Now invite me to eat Northeast food, I have always missed the 'pork stewed vermicelli' very much. ”
The five words "pork stewed vermicelli" Basel was said in Chinese, and the peculiar accent made Xie Lingmo laugh.
Li Dingrui couldn't help but smile. He kept his promise and took Basel to a nearby restaurant, and when ordering food, he specifically emphasized that the price did not matter, but there must be more vermicelli in the "pork stew vermicelli".
Basel is a talkative and lovable old man, perhaps with a Western background. Their clergy seldom do the same daily tasks as the Chinese spiritual organizations, and bishops like Basel do more than preside over some work within the church. The relaxed and laid-back life made Basel very young-minded, sunny and happy like a child, and told them a lot of interesting stories about the church during the meal.
This can be said to be the most relaxing meal Xie Lingmo and Li Dingrui have eaten during this period of time.
After dinner, Basel refused to send him back to the hotel, and said with a smile: "Forget it, I'm here to help, not to cause trouble." You must have more important things to do than send me back to the hotel, go get busy. Let me be an old man walking around the street and blowing the wind, it is rare to come to such a big country, I want to take a good walk. ”
"Okay," Lai Dingrui hugged him, "then next time you see Basel, you have to take care of yourself." When I'm done with all this, we'll go to Amsterdam for some fun. ”
"Very happy," Basel smiled at Xie Lingmo, "Little girl, won't you hug me?" Although you are Lai's girlfriend, I believe he should not be jealous. ”
Xie Lingmo smiled and hugged him: "Thank you for your help, I hope that next time in Amsterdam, I can also play with you." ”
After saying goodbye to Basel, Xie Lingmo immediately called Yun Luo. However, whether it is Yunluo or Mu Han, the mobile phone can't get through.
"Maybe I've already gone up the mountain, there is no signal in the mountains, which is also normal."
"What didn't go well," Xie Lingmo sighed, "Then what should I do, let's go up the mountain directly?" Changbai Mountain is so big, where can we find it? ”
Li Dingrui thought for a while: "Are there any monsters from Changbai Mountain nearby?" Let it take us up? ”
Xie Lingmo sighed and said with a wry smile: "What is this called, after leaving the organization, I feel that we are asking for help from monsters every day...... I remember that the mountain spirit of Changbai Mountain seems to live on the southern slope, and there is a fox demon nearby who is quite familiar with Changbai Mountain, so go and ask if it is willing to help. ”
Changchun City is not too far from Changbai County, about four hours to drive. They found a homestay not far from Changbai Mountain, and planned to rest for the night and go to the fox demon for help the next day.
"I think we've spent more than half of our time on the road since we came out of the organization," Xie Lingmo lay on the bed tiredly, "What a waste of time." ”
Li Dingrui was completely thinking about another thing: "Daughter-in-law, you said that this pattern has always been used by vampires before. Now when you come to China, what will be used? ”
Xie Lingmo frowned and hesitated, "Could it be a werewolf?" We've been dealing with werewolves lately, and we've only seen werewolves from the west. But the first werewolf I saw in Jinan a few days ago, although he had no ability, was far from being able to control so many monsters. ”
Li Dingrui said: "Who told you that the first generation of werewolves is the head?" (To be continued.) )
