After the Red Emperor's head was cut off by the Chaos Wind Sword, the vampires present were convinced and knew that the previous "farce" was over. Even the people from the Inquisition were stunned. They felt that the Red Emperor was much more powerful than they had heard before, and these two Oriental men seemed to be even more powerful than the Red Emperor. Archbishop Kashu helped Luo Wei and Yin Xiu up from the ground, and took another look at the corpse of the Red Emperor on the ground. "Three of you, is there anything else I can help you with?" "no need." Laura Founa smiled and said, "Thank you for your trouble. I can ask my men to handle the next matter." "Does it also include autopsy?" Yin Xiu suddenly asked. "Well?" Laura Fontaine didn't understand what Yin Xiu meant. Yin Xiu did not answer her, but went to verify one of his guesses first.
He walked to the body of the Red Emperor and touched the blood on the ground with his fingers. Bloody memories, start... There was nothing, neither the familiar darkness nor the balls of light. The hard condition for activating [Bloody Memories] is within three hours of the target's death. If more than three hours have passed, it will be the same as now and nothing can be read. Even though he now discovered that the Red Emperor's blood was indeed extremely cold and not like that of a living person, Yin Xiu was unable to connect this with the fact that the Red Emperor had been dead for a long time. After all, they had been fighting fiercely and had said a lot of things before. Yin Xiu reached for the mask, paused, then turned back to Laura Fountain and said, "Close your eyes first. This might be a rotten corpse." "Don't think I'm a flower grown in a greenhouse. As a vampire noble, what haven't I seen?" Laura Fonnna said disdainfully. "I'm glad you've seen it." Luo Wei also squatted down to help, "I remember I handled a body before, it was a thug who was beaten to pieces by his enemies and thrown into a pond. It happened that the weather was hot at that time and the water in the pond was almost dry, so the body lay in it, half submerged in water and half in mud. When I went to deal with it, I could smell from afar the odor of a dead rat that had been soaked in expired milk for half a month. The corpse was half dry and half wet, with the lower body immersed in water, making it look like a giant. One of its legs was as thick as your waist. When you scoop it up with your hand, it was all sticky, like sesame paste. It’s even worse up there, full of maggots as big as little fingers, densely packed, from…” "what!" Laura Fonnna covered her eyes and nose and stepped back. Yin Xiu gave Luo Wei a thumbs up and said, "You are getting better and better at teasing your cousin." "It's not a joke," Luo Wei said seriously, "I never joke about corpses. Those are all true stories." "Well?"
Yin Xiu retracted his hand and stood up immediately. "Since you have so much experience, why don't you come?" "Me?" Luo Wei's Adam's apple moved noticeably. "That's right, this is your specialty, Yongtan." Yin Xiu gestured with his hand again. "I'm just a detective, not a medical examiner." Luo Wei had no choice but to step forward and said to Yin Xiu, "Do you have gloves?" "Have." Yoon Soo pulled a pair of technician gloves out of his pocket and threw them to him, "You don't have to give them back to me." "Okay, then I'm here." Luo Wei took a deep breath and was about to put on gloves, but Yin Xiu had already moved far away and was almost standing shoulder to shoulder with Laura Fonnna. "or……" Archbishop Kashu suddenly interrupted Luo Wei and said, "In fact, the Inquisition has a professional autopsy room over at Westminster Cathedral. It is usually used to study the bodies of victims, or to study werewolves, vampires and the like. There are many tools there, and most importantly, there are forensic doctors. It’s much more convenient and superior than disposing of it here.” "You have been a great help, Archbishop Kashu." Luo Wei quickly threw the gloves back to Yin Xiu. "How about we head over there?" Yin Xiu nodded vigorously, "That's exactly what I meant!" Seeing that the two agreed, Kaxiu made a gesture to the back, and several demon hunters came over immediately and carried the corpse onto a carriage. Then another carriage drove up. Yin Xiu and Luo Wei got on the carriage, and when Laura Fountain was about to follow, she was stopped by Kaxiu. "I'm very sorry, Count. The vampires and werewolves that can enter the Inquisition are always dead or half-dead. Although you are a noble, it would be against the rules to let you in." Laura Fonnna frowned, then stomped her foot hard on the ground. "Do you think I am happy to go? You also said that I am a count, and if I go to the court, I would think I am being arrested!" Seeing her mumbling to herself, Yin Xiu stuck her head out of the car window again. "Why don't you go back and wait for our news?" "If you have discovered anything, don't hide it from me." "Don't worry," Yin Xiu smiled, "Without your help, Count Nicholas, the two of us would be unable to move forward in Dunling. If we find anything, we will definitely not hide it from you."
"As long as you know!" After hearing what he said, Laura Fona waved to them reluctantly and watched their carriage leave. After the carriage started moving, even Archbishop Kashu, who had profound Qi cultivation skills, couldn't help but sigh when he thought of the scene just now. “Although I may say bad things about him behind his back, I have to say that Count Laura Fona is truly the most unique nobleman I have ever met. I have seen many great earls, princes, vampires and humans, but she is the first one who does not take her noble status seriously, only takes the benefits and is not bound by it." "So she only thinks about taking benefits and does not think about taking responsibilities at all?" Yin Xiu asked. "Almost," Kaxiu smiled, "But there's nothing wrong with it, right? It's just that many people can't do it due to various restrictions." "No offense, but I thought the priests of the Inquisition were all more..." "You mean the kind of person who would read the Bible every day, quote from it and cite scriptures when he speaks?" Kaxiu smiled and said, "I have never been one of them. If I had a choice, I would rather open a small church in a rural area in Sicily, distribute bread to the farmers there every day, and give candies to the children. This kind of life is much better than fighting and killing. Moreover, although it may be a bit presumptuous, I have to say that the Tribunal is not as sacred as others imagine. How should I put it? It is only relatively sacred and incorruptible, that's all." After a pause, as if he felt that it was inappropriate to say this, he took out a bottle of sherry from under the seat, and then took out three wine glasses like a magic trick. “Ordinary red wines are not strong enough in flavor and strength. In southern Europe, I often drink this kind of sherry, which is not so strong, but brighter than red wine. So it doesn't hurt people, but it makes people feel the benefits. It's good for people who like to drink, and it's good for people who don't drink much. Even for some people who don't drink, you just need to put the wine glass in front of their nose and let them smell it, and that's enough." Of course Yin Xiu and Luo Wei would not refuse this invitation. At this time, their serious injuries had not yet healed, and they really needed a glass of wine to replenish their strength. However, it seemed that Kaxiu was not just talking about wine, but was also hinting something to Yin Xiu. So Yin Xiu smiled and said, "Archbishop, our matter with the Red Emperor is just a personal grudge and does not involve anything else." "Personal matters?" Kaxiu touched his chin and said, "I heard that the grudges of Oriental people are different from those of us in the West. In Japan and Kyushu, there have always been grudges that go beyond money and interests. For example, a samurai knew he would die, but he still wanted to avenge his master, so he took his enemy's life, and then committed suicide by disembowelment in front of everyone. There is also an assassin who, even if it means disfiguring himself with strong acid and destroying his voice by swallowing charcoal, is determined to complete his mission and assassinate someone. The Eastern concept of revenge is that the fight continues until one person dies. If the father dies, the son will take over. It is about family feuds that will continue endlessly. This is really something that is difficult to understand, or rather, it is a rule that confuses us Europeans. For example, in Sicily, a war broke out between two families. The leader of one side was killed, and the leader's son succeeded to the throne as the new family leader and continued to be called "Sir". At this time, the hostile family offered him a condition that he could not refuse. With the guarantee of one or several families, the new family leader agreed to these conditions. Then the two sides had no more hatred, the war stopped, and there was no need for revenge. Not only did the hatred disappear, but the two sides could even continue to do business and work together to do something. Because to Sicilians, it's all just business and nothing else. I kill you not because I hate you, but because it is a business matter. Even a person like Count Laura Fona will abide by this rule." “That’s the difference between us.”
Yin Xiu swallowed the wine in one gulp. "We only want the Red Emperor. We are not interested in anything else, whether it is a local layout or some kind of power change. We are not interested. It’s just for the Red Emperor, and that’s why we came all the way to Dunling, despite some misunderstandings and twists and turns.” After hearing what he said, Kaxiu just shook the wine glass in his hand and looked at Yin Xiu with his brown eyes intentionally or unintentionally. "If that's the case, you won't become the next Red Emperor, right?" "of course not." Yin Xiu took the bottle and added more wine to Kaxiu, seemingly completely forgetting that the host of this "wine tasting party" was the archbishop. "We are so busy, we can't even handle our own affairs, how can we still care about the werewolves and vampires in Western Europe? In fact, we hope these guys stay in Dunling and don’t run around.” "I will try my best to help you with this. Those guys always think that the Far East is their backyard where they can come and go as they please. But in fact, the arrival of the two and a series of recent events are enough to make them realize that it is time to wake up from those beautiful dreams about the East in the past." Yin Xiu sighed, "For them, those so-called beautiful dreams are precisely the nightmares of ordinary people in the Far East. Such things have happened enough times in that ancient land. I sincerely hope that this kind of thing will not happen again, but I also know that hope is useless. Only when they really feel this kind of pain, these frivolous and self-righteous guys will learn their lesson. " Kaxiu was still looking at Yin Xiu, but the way he looked at him was different from before. This time, there was a look of respect in his eyes, instead of just being a hospitable host and "taking care" of the two strangers who came from afar on behalf of Father Benjamin as before. "Our relationship with vampires is ambiguous." Kaxiu admitted: "This is not a secret. On the one hand, the Inquisition is indeed committed to eliminating these dark creatures. However, when vampires infiltrate the upper class and become a part of the financial and environmental influences, it is no longer a so-called confrontation between good and evil. If you want to deal with them, you are not just fighting against vampires, but you have to deal with a large group of people behind them. Those devout, or diehard, people who had originally intended to exterminate all vampires were eliminated. So both of you, whether for your own good or for the safety of Count Laura Fonna, the rest of the vampire stuff should be stopped. Otherwise, it will be another big trouble, just for you guys." "I understand, Archbishop." Yin Xiu nodded to express his gratitude. "In the East, there is a saying that a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake. In fact, I also know that if Laura Fonnna hadn't been in front, I'm afraid the two of us would have become the target of attack and would have been attacked by all the vampires, even those behind the vampires. So I assure you, this is just a personal vendetta and nothing else is involved.” "You understand it very well." Kaxiu admired Yin Xiu more and more, and felt that Yin Xiu was a friend he needed to respect, so after drinking a glass, Kaxiu picked up the bottle and refilled his glass. At this moment, the liquid in the wine glasses of several people suddenly shook, and then a buzzing sound was heard in their ears. Almost at the same time, the three of them threw the wine glasses in their hands aside and poured them in different directions. Bah! Bah! Bah! Countless small gadgets that looked like winged gyroscopes spun and broke through the carriage, drilled into it, brushed past the heads, hands, and feet of the three people, and were nailed into the ground.
The originally neat and luxurious carriage suddenly became shabby. Not only that, Yin Xiu also heard the terrible sound of the coachman and the camel being pierced by hidden weapons and blood and flesh flying everywhere. I'm afraid that the carriage in front, carrying the corpse of the Red Emperor, must have suffered the same fate. call out! Following the sound of steam explosion, another round of hidden weapons flew over. Yin Xiu reached out, grabbed a spinning top, and examined it in his palm. It was a hidden weapon made of fine steel, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, shaped like a gourd, and only as thick as two fingers. At the connection between the upper and lower parts, there are three blades as thin as cicada wings, which should play the role of assisting flight. What Yin Xiu was most concerned about was that there was a prominent Bagua pattern engraved on the bottom of the spinning top. (End of this chapter)
