Even though she had prepared herself mentally, when it was time to set off, Laura Fana's eyes would inevitably be red.
"Okay."
Yin Xiu pinched her face gently, "It's not like I died. As for crying like this? Didn't you also say that for vampires, separation is not a big deal?"
"But you are not a vampire."
Laura Fana pouted, "You are a human being. Even a master like you will easily die if your airship is in an accident, you are poisoned, you get a serious illness, and you die."
< br>
"Hey! It's auspicious for children to talk nonsense because they are ignorant."
Yin Xiu waved her hands repeatedly and said to Laura Fanna: "I'm about to take off, can't you say something auspicious? For example, a smooth journey and success is almost guaranteed?"
"I'll try my best."
Laura Fana touched her ears, "But you have to promise that you can't just die or forget about me. Because you are not a vampire, your memory must not be as good as ours.
Let alone a year or two, even in a month or two, you will definitely have forgotten all about me. ”
Even though Laura Fana has lived for hundreds of years, her temperament is still no different from that of a little girl, which makes Yin Xiu feel uncomfortable.
So he could only promise again: "Don't worry, even if I return to Hong Kong Island, I will write to you. Even if it takes half a year to receive the letter, for a vampire, this is not a very long time, right? ?”
Laura Fana's eyes were swollen, "Are you serious?"
"Of course it's true," Yin Xiu said seriously: "I will not lie to my cousin."
In this way, Laura Fana finally broke her tears and smiled, "Then I will believe you for the time being. As long as you remember that there is a lady in Dunling waiting for your letter, that's all."
"I will definitely remember."
It was getting late, so Wright started to launch the airship.
The four huge propeller devices just turned slightly and entered the "standby" state, and already set off a whirlwind, making Laura Fana's skirt and hair flutter, and Yin Xiu's windbreaker rustled around her legs.
When Yin Xiu looked back, Laura Fana hesitated for a moment, and finally stretched out her hand and put it into Yin Xiu's pocket.
Yin Xiu suddenly felt something fall into his pocket.
"Take it with you. Unless you are taking a bath, don't let it leave your side."
Laura Fana warned: "This kind of thing can help you."
Yin Xiu nodded, but did not immediately confirm what Laura Fana had put in his pocket.
"It's time for me to go," he said softly.
"I know."
Laura Fana's voice was also very soft, like a delicate whisper.
"The werewolf families in North America are far more powerful than those here. They are not very reasonable. You have to be careful."
"If you want to reason with a werewolf, I'll use this."
Yin Xiu raised his fist.
Laura Fana laughed again, paused and urged him: "It's time for you to go. If you have anything to say, just tell me in the letter."
Yin Xiu didn't reply, just nodded heavily.
When he reached the airship and looked outside through the transparent glass, Laura Fana was still standing there.
The glass was fogged up by Dun Ling's abundant water vapor, making it difficult for Yin Xiu to see whether she was crying, laughing, or any other expression.
As the airship rose, the engine started, and the glass windows of the airship shook and trembled, causing the world outside to become blurry.
In this haziness, Yin Xiu somehow had a vague premonition.
That is, maybe one day in the future, in the far east, he and Laura Fana will meet again.
When the airship shook and the buildings on the ground turned into black spots, this sudden premonition gradually disappeared.
Yin Xiu sat back, rummaged through his pockets, and found that what Laura Fana had given him was a ring.
The ring's setting is a pure gold ring with a silver pattern on it, like a snake, looming.
The top of the ring setting is inlaid with a black gemstone, which is about the size of the nail of the index finger. It does not emit light and has an unpolished simplicity and thickness.
Yin Xiu turned the ring over, and a line of German was engraved on the inside of the ring:
【Ichdeins.Dumeins.Wireins.】
"What is written?"
Sitting aside, Luo Wei also noticed this line of writing.
"Do you know German?" Yin Xiu asked him.
"I only speak English and a little bit of Hakka."
"Then it won't happen."
Yin Xiu put the ring back into the inner pocket of her body.
"Then what does it mean?" Luo Wei continued to ask.
"Don't you know me yet?"
Yin Xiu sighed, "If I could even understand German, I should be a scholar who is good at fighting, instead of a Taoist priest who is good at fighting. These girls are always secretive and mysterious. A secret thing.
I think it might be a vampire spell or some kind of good wish? ”
"Are vampires and so-called good wishes related to each other?" Luo Wei asked doubtfully.
"How do I know this?"
Yin Xiu spread her hands, "You also know that my cousin is an atypical vampire. Some things cannot be speculated according to common sense. Maybe she is the kind of vampire with white wings on her back and a golden halo on her head?"
"Are you crazy, or did I make something wrong?"
Luo Wei's head was covered with black lines.
"Although Laura Fana does not suck blood, you shouldn't associate her with angels, right?"
"Nothing is accurate."
Yin Xiu smiled and said: "Who said that vampires must be ugly and angels must be kind?"
"I wish you could say that in front of Archbishop Cassius."
Luo Wei leaned on the chair, and the soft back of the chair inevitably made him feel pain in his back.
After finally completing the final acceleration phase, Wright had released the steering column, stuck it in a specific position, and walked over to Yin Xiu and Luo Wei.
"Boy, do you need something to drink? Coffee, tea?"
Yin Xiu glanced at the bearded "stewardess" and asked him: "Do you have any wine?"
"Of course!"
Wright opened the cabinet on the side and happily took out the wine.
"Whiskey, brandy, and sherry, I have them all here, just look..."
Halfway through his words, he remembered his previous experience in the tavern and broke into a cold sweat.
"Brother, I, I usually don't drink when flying. You believe me, I swear to God."
"Swear to God?"
Yin Xiu laughed, "We are now the closest to God, and I don't think you dare to make fun of him.
Don't drink on this journey, just concentrate on flying the airship. When you get to Gaotan, I'll treat you to drinking for a week. ”
"Really?"
Wright's eyes lit up.
"When did I lie to you?" Yin Xiu blinked at him, "You do your best and don't think about this or that. When the time comes in Gaotan, you can find a football team to play with you in the second half, no problem!"
When Wright heard this, the light in his eyes became brighter and brighter, and he waved his hands repeatedly.
"It can't be done, it can't be done. If we really build a whole football team, I won't be kicking others, but others will be kicking me. I'm afraid I won't be able to get down if I get up."
"If they can't get down, do they still have kung fu skills?"
Yin Xiu changed the topic back, "By the way, can you tell me about the flight plan, Wright?"
"Of course."
When this was mentioned, no matter how bohemian Wright was by nature, he became serious at this time.
He pulled out a map from somewhere and showed it to Yin Xiu and Luo Wei.
"We are very lucky in the past few days. We just caught up with the Atlantic monsoon. If we keep flying with this wind, we will reach Gaotan faster than originally expected, and we don't have to worry about fuel."
He smiled and said: "Even if there is a shortage of fuel midway, this big guy can float along with the wind and land slowly somewhere."
"It seems that your angel's prayer worked." Luo Wei said with a smile.
"She can't help but hope for us, right?"
Yin Xiu scratched his head and asked Wright again, "Have you been to Gaotan before?"
"Huh?"
Wright was stunned for a moment, "I thought you two were going there to visit relatives and friends?"
"It's almost the same."
Yin Xiu took the whiskey and poured a glass out. "We are all friends in the world. If we don't have friends, we will just make them when the time comes."
"It turns out you two have never been to Gaotan."
Wright suddenly realized.
"So I ask you, have you been to Gaotan before?" Yin Xiu didn't care that Wright knew their details.
“Been there once or twice.”
Wright smiled and said: "Once when I was in college, during the winter vacation, I asked Li Zixiong if he wanted to go with me to learn more.
As a result, he told me that he would spend the whole winter in the library. At that time, I just thought that he was stupid. Reading every day was not enough, but he had to waste the few leisure vacations in his life.
Not to mention this, the second time was last year, and I went there again last year.
I had a cousin there who was engaged in stock investment, and I heard he was doing a lot of it. At that time, I didn’t have much opportunity, so I went to his place to have a look.
As a result, the stock market started to crash before I even arrived at his house. Black Wednesday, they said.
My cousin was chased by the mafia and ran away. I also had a gun put to my head by those bastards several times and asked about his whereabouts.
So I really don’t want to go to that place.
Damn it, it's a place where villains and murderers gather. During the day, those bastards wear human-like clothes, and they are all gentlemen and ladies.
You'll know when night comes, the streets are filled with drug addicts, drunkards, sluts, and what I'm talking about, murderers.
I was only there a week, and three nights I was woken by gunshots and screams.
At other times, I'm afraid I didn't hear it because I drank too much.
With all due respect, you two, that is really the closest place to hell. Not only the city itself, but also the residents who live in it, should also go to hell, because they are all complete bastards.
Everyone is a liar and a murderer. ”
Yin Xiu didn't expect to ask anything from Wright. After all, he was just a pilot, not an interrogator or private detective.
So he just chatted with him word by word, "Have you seen any Tang people in Gaotan?"
"Tang people?"
Wright rubbed his chin, "I only heard that there is a Chinatown. Most of the Chinese people should be building railroads in California."
"So that's it."
Yin Xiu shook the wine glass.
When Wright was staring at the wine glass in Yin Xiu's hand in a daze, he saw the glass of wine being handed over by Yin Xiu.
"Huh? Don't drink! Don't drink!"
Wright shook his head repeatedly, "I said, I am very dedicated, and I don't drink at all at this time."
"If you don't want to drink it, just put it next to the driver's seat and smell it. Just smell it."
"Really?"
Wright's eyes shone again. After taking a cautious look at Yin Xiu to confirm that he was not fishing for law enforcement, he happily took the glass and ran back to the driver's seat.
"Don't worry, I'll just smell it, from a distance, that's all."
Yin Xiu stopped joking with Wright and looked at Luo Wei who was playing with the teapot.
"I can see that you seem to have many things to ask me, but you didn't ask me before?"
"That's because you didn't say it."
Luo Wei sighed, "I originally thought that we were dead brothers and you would tell me everything. Unexpectedly, I waited for a few days and you still didn't say anything. This made me inevitably feel melancholy."
< br>
"Melancholy?"
Yin Xiu was amused by him, "Detective, when have you not always been so melancholy, looking like a teenager who is dissatisfied with his desires in adolescence?"
"I'm glad you said I'm young."
Luo Wei folded his feet together, "Tell me, what's going on? We went to Gaotan because you found something in Jia Jingjing's memory, right?"
Yin Xiu nodded.
In the previous conversation, although they also obtained some information from Jia Jingjing, in fact that was not enough.
They knew nothing about the identity, location, or even related organizations of the mastermind behind the scenes.
Before she could ask these things, Jia Jingjing had already died on the stage she loved most in her life.
The remaining means are only two opportunities to extract memory.
If one mistake is made, after Jia Jingjing's death, all clues related to the real Red Emperor will be lost.
Yin Xiu and the others only eliminated their opponents in Western Europe. I am afraid that they will never be able to find the instigator who is elsewhere.
Fortunately, Yin Xiu finally found the target through some bold reasoning and conjectures.
The man who uses Laoshan Taoism is now in Gaotan, the financial center of North America and the capital of sin.
This is why they spent so much money and took such big risks to go to Gaotan.
"Somehow, I always feel a little uneasy," said Luo Wei.
"Uneasy?"
This was the first time for Yin Xiu to see this extremely brave and passionate Gantan express such feelings.
"What are you worried about? Are you afraid that as soon as we land in Gaotan, an unfamiliar place, we will be besieged by a large number of werewolves and vampires?"
"Isn't that what is bound to happen?"
Luo Wei also laughed and said nothing more. He just raised his teacup to greet Yin Xiu.
“Bon voyage!”
Yin Xiu also picked up the wine glass and clinked it with him, "It's done immediately!" (End of Chapter)
