Chapter 6: Holy War (4)
"July 1st of the Holy Calendar, damn it, it's getting closer and closer to that day, and the ritual still lacks a lot of things. The self-proclaimed Holy Cult is persecuting our followers again, Li Yu is dead, and now the only living Night's Watch are me and Mike. ”
"On July 3 of the Holy Calendar, the search for prey failed today, and recently the police and the gods have become more and more strict, and there is no chance to do it at all. And those hateful demons of the other world, what did they come to this world for? But it would be nice to cause some trouble for the gods. ”
"On the 4th of the seventh month of the Holy Calendar, my dear Maridina is again wielding her wonderful butcher's knife, and she is the real devil by comparison. There are already nine, and there are still two left, and I can complete the mission, and I can't wait to see my god descend on this filthy world and slaughter all these hateful bastards, kill them all! ”
"On the 5th day of the seventh month of the holy calendar, I thought that tonight was the time for the assembly again, and I was so excited that I could not sit still, and could I see the relics of God again? We don't know what kind of surprise the great God will bring us. ”
Ning Fei sat on the edge of the bed in the bedroom, flipping through a leather diary on the bedside table. The first page of the diary is signed by his name: Ning Fei.
Holy Cult, my God, a demon from another world.
Policemen, mercenaries, magic sticks.
Ning Fei sorted out a few pieces of information from his diary.
First, there are currently known three forces in this world, one is the Holy Sect, which is the center of world power, one is the church where Ning Fei is located, which is temporarily called a cult, and the other is a person like himself who is not in this world, that is, a player. And the police and mercenaries should all belong to the side of the Holy Religion.
Second, Ning Fei's current real identity is the cult's "night watchman".
Third, there is a rally tonight.
On the bedside table is a calendar with the date of July 4 in the holy calendar. Counting the night he slept, today is the 5th day of the seventh month of the holy calendar.
Ning Fei pondered. What does the cult represent, what is the player's task, to rally or not to go, will I be in danger?
He rummaged through the bedroom again, but found no other clues other than a few suitable clothes. At this point, he noticed that something seemed to be wrong with the pillow, and the pillowcase had been made a small corner by a hard object.
Ning Fei hurriedly opened the pillowcase and took out a black invitation from inside.
"The first commandment: Do not believe in any god other than me, for your god is a god of jealousy."
The cover of the invitation reads this sentence in light gray italics.
"This church is quite brainwashing." Ning Fei complained in his heart, he is an atheist, he grew up receiving the excellent scientific and cultural education of the motherland since he was a child, and he has a strong immunity to these things.
Ning Fei opened the invitation, which was also a line of small characters, but this time it was written in black ink: Great believer, the situation has been grim recently, and the meeting place is: 1-231, 2-122, 3-78, 4-99......, I hope you know.
Ning Fei looked at the string of numbers and couldn't help but scold, what does this mean? Does this cult have a dedicated password?
However, Ning Fei has not watched much suspense TV and novels on weekdays, and he can understand these numbers with a little guessing. As is customary for underground organizations, these numbers should correspond to a reference.
It's simpler than the escape rooms he's played in the real world.
He searched again, and a thick book on the bedroom desk caught his eye.
The Ring of God
The book was placed in the center of the desk, with some signs of tattage on the side but a clean surface, probably because he had been reading it regularly.
Ning Fei picked up the "Ring of God" and began to compare it according to the string of numbers. 231 words on the first page, 122 words on the second page......
Sure enough, he exchanged the string of numbers for a sentence:
Rose Bar, 18 Grape Street
It's an address, and it's supposed to be a meeting place.
"It's very simple, the world is not developed after all." Ning Fei opened it casually and looked at this "Ring of God", and found that it was just some brainwashing. It's nothing more than saying how great this God is, and how and so his followers are.
Ning Fei didn't believe it at all.
Are you going to this rally? He only hesitated for a few seconds before making a plan.
He had to go.
He's a headless fly at the moment, and he must find a clue to crack it.
However, the spirit (3/1000), this number made him very worried.
Will I be discovered?
Ning Fei confirmed that there was no clue in the bedroom, and came outside. The exterior is simply decorated, with a sofa, a fireplace, blankets, a guest table, and a portrait of him hanging on the wall.
In the painting, he was wearing a small silver vest over his white shirt, and a white wavy wig with a middle part on his head, if it weren't for the fact that his face was exactly the same as his, Ning Fei would think that this painting should be a guy named Charlie or something.
In this world, there seems to be no such clear distinction between yellow and white people, somewhat similar to blacks and whites in real-world America. However, the name has a very distinct skin tone.
He is now equivalent to amnesia, he doesn't remember anything, and the unknown is the most frightening thing.
Just then, there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Knock knock!"
It was a strong man knocking on the door, the sound was loud, and the signs of the door trembling were obvious.
What kind of person, Ning Fei instantly broke out in a cold sweat.
"Who!" He asked, trying to pretend to be nonchalant.
"Mr. Ning Fei, I am Duan Xu, a police officer from Maple Leaf Town, and three bodies were found outside your house, please cooperate with us in the investigation." It was the voice of a middle-aged man.
"Oh no, is the police so efficient in this world?" Ning Fei cursed in his heart, then took a few deep breaths, put a kind smile on his face, and slowly opened the door.
There were two policemen standing outside the door, one was a chubby white man, wearing a toad glass, wearing a blue uniform, and he turned his head to look around the wooden house, looking absent-minded. The other was a lean yellow man whose eyes had been staring at Ning Fei's face with suspicion and caution, as if he wanted to find some clues from his face.
"Hello, officer. What did you just say? Corpse? Ning Fei's face was full of curiosity and innocence. He performed so realistically, if these two policemen knew what had happened, they would definitely not be able to help but award Ning Fei the Oscar for Best Actor at this moment.
"Mr. Ning Fei, I'm Duan Xu, and this is my partner William. Three bodies were found less than 800 meters outside your house in the early hours of this morning, and I would now like to ask you to be investigated. Is it easy for us to get in? Although Duan Xu was very polite, he had already stepped into the wooden house.
What else could Ning Fei say, he could only say politely: "Please come in." ”
William shrugged helplessly and followed Duan Xu into the house. Ning Fei closed the wooden door.
He turned his back to the two policemen, and his expression became a little depressed. He was thinking about what to do, and how he would respond if the police did find something.
Ning Fei couldn't help but gently touch the revolver hidden in his waist, the white robe perfectly covered the revolver, so that people couldn't see that he still had such a terrifying weapon.
As soon as William entered the house, he sat on the sofa, trying to pour himself a cup of coffee, he picked up the teapot and found that the water in it was cold, so he had to put it down, and then he was bored in a daze.
Duan Xu was pacing around the room, as if he wanted to enter Ning Fei's bedroom to check.
"Officer Duan!" Ning Fei stopped Duan Xu, "You just said the investigation, how can I cooperate?" ”
Duan Xu stopped, then walked to the sofa and sat down, motioning for Ning Fei to sit opposite him. Duan Xu took out a small notebook and a pen, and said expressionlessly: "Mr. Ning, we just want to know something. ”
"Oh? That's no problem, of course. Ning Fei forcibly calmed down and naturally sat opposite Duan Xu.
"Mr. Ning seems to be a little nervous, why is he sweating?" Duan Xu pretended to be concerned and asked.
"Is there one?" Ning Fei touched his forehead, it was a little wet, "When the police come to the door, it is inevitable that there will be some nervousness, isn't it?" ”
Duan Xu smiled, and did not debunk Ning Fei's lies. "Mr. Ning, where were you last night?"
"Me? I slept well in the bedroom, huh? Ning Fei looked dazed.
"Did you hear anything going on outside the house? Like, gunshots? ”
"Gunshots? Officer, you are joking, this maple forest has other sounds at night except for the wind. What's more, I sleep relatively dead, how can I wake up in the warm quilt on such a cold night. ”
Duan Xu nodded and recorded Ning Fei's answers one by one in his notebook. William has been absent-minded, touching his face for a while and buttoning his nose for a while, and then wiping his nose on the side of the sofa very casually.
"There are a lot of residents in this maple grove, since Mr. Ning doesn't know the situation, then let's go to a few other houses to ask." Duan Xu stood up, looking like he was leaving. William was beaming and had already begun to walk out.
Ning Fei breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly got up. "Officer, I'm sorry I can't help you."
"Before we go, there's one last question." Duan Xu turned around and said very easily.
Ning Fei sighed in his heart.
Duan Xu pointed to the iron door in the corner of the wooden house and continued to ask, "Mr. Ning, what is that place?" Basement? Can we go down and have a look? ”
Basement? Ning Fei thought of the broken limbs and the large dried blood stains in the basement, and there was a little horror in his eyes.
Ning Fei froze in place, not knowing how to answer. He swallowed nervously, his hand ready to pull out the revolver on his waist to end the policeman's life.
That white man seemed to be very slow to react, if I killed Duan Xu in the first place, then I would definitely be able to kill the white man before he could react.
He was secretly calculating in his mind.
"Xiao Duan, that's enough, do you have a search warrant, just search other people's houses at will. We still have seven families on our mission, so go back early after asking early! William had already walked to the door and shouted impatiently at Duan Xu. With that, William left the cabin.
Duan Xu wanted to speak and stopped, but he could only sigh hatefully, no more, and hurriedly ran out of the wooden house to follow behind William.
After the two left, Ning Fei closed the wooden door, feeling that his body was weak and a little unstable.
His mental quality is already very good, just imagine a gangster who hides after killing someone, and the police come to the door to interrogate a few people who can be calm.
"It's horrible, it's okay!" Ning Fei's heart was pounding in his chest, and he could feel the sound of "poof" from the blood gushing out of his heart.
"Xiao Duan, what do you think?" Walking out of the wooden house, William's absent-minded expression was gone, but became serious and serious, and a pair of eyes as sharp as eagle eyes could be faintly seen under the sunglasses.
"Captain, I'm pretty sure he's that Scissorhands Wright! The blood dripping from the dead fat woman's body pointed in the direction of Ning Fei's wooden house, and I saw the same blood stain in front of that iron door! Duan Xu said excitedly.
William nodded, "Yes, it's him." ”
"Captain, why don't you let me arrest him! This hateful bastard killed so many innocent teenage girls, he deserves to be hanged! ”
William said meaningfully, "Have you ever heard of the 'Moon God Cult'? ”
"Moon God Sect," Duan Xu muttered, "He's a member of the Moon God Sect?" ”
William smiled, and there was a lot of indescribable things in his smile.
"He's still useful."
