Ring

Chapter 48

"I'm not very clear about this. However, Victoria mentioned that the black long knife was originally the knife of Mrs. Bathory's husband, the Hungarian nobleman Ferenc."

"Ferenz? That general Ferenz known as the 'Black Governor'?"

"Probably so," said Edgar. "Why do you ask this all of a sudden?"

Wei Siyun sighed.She rubbed the space between her brows, as if she was exhausted: "Many years ago, I subdued a ghost. After I subdued her, she has never done anything out of the ordinary, but... she seems to have a special feeling for western monsters." Deep hatred. When I first met her, she was still sane. As a condition of not continuing to endanger the village, she asked me to help her find the weapon that killed her husband."

"How can you be sure that the weapon is a jet-black long knife?" Edgar shook his head, "And, from your tone of voice, this must have happened many years ago, right? At that time, transportation was far less developed than it is now , even the train may not have been created yet. And the blood race can't go all the way to the east to kill people..."

Speaking of this, he suddenly frowned, "However, some of the blood race have been to the East. It's just... the vast majority of them were either outnumbered and died at the hands of the Holy See; It hasn't come back for hundreds of years."

"It must be the pitch black long knife. When she first described that weapon to me, I thought of the pitch black long knife." Wei Siyun said with certainty, "As for what you said, I can tell you with certainty. You, she did have some troubles with vampires. Every time she fell into a state of insanity, she would always attack everyone around her indiscriminately and shout something like 'damn vampire'."

After a pause, she continued: "Can you tell me, who are the holders of all the black long knives?"

"The successive heads of the Bathory family. Victoria Bathory, Virginia Bathory, Edward Bathory, Catherine Bathory... The long black knife is the symbol of the Bathory family and is the biography of Countess Elizabeth. Come down with a knife. It’s just that these patriarchs are already dead. Even if you want to take revenge, you can’t find them anymore.”

Wei Siyun stopped talking.Under the flickering candlelight, she quietly looked at the bright yellow talisman paper in her hand.The blood-colored lines on the talisman paper were particularly conspicuous, as if trying to break free from the shackles of the talisman.The white-haired celestial master stretched out his fingers and smoothed the wrinkles of the talisman paper, and there was a rare trace of sadness in his eyes.

"Miss Jiang's sanity has become more and more blurred, and now I can't even recognize her. If she can't find the truth of the matter and don't save her, her resentment will accumulate and deepen, and she can only wander in the underworld forever. Unable to survive."

Edgar tried his best to recall everything about the long black knife, but it was in vain.As a descendant of the Bathory family, he had never really paid attention to these things, and Victoria did not force him.

Jiang Zeyue herself had nothing to do with him, until just now, he didn't know of her existence, so he could have just stood by and watched.However, Wei Siyun's expression touched him.

"If you really want to know, I can ask the rest of the Bathory family," Edgar said.At the same time, he began to think about the chances of calling Rice out without alarming the blood clan...

Wei Siyun was stunned, looked at him with some surprise, and then smiled slightly: "Actually, there is no need to worry too much, there are still about five years... Besides, it is not suitable for you to go back to the blood race now. You should wait Shenzhi put the matter in the company to rest, let's think about it in the long term... By the way, Flanders, he may need your help these days."

"what happened?"

"The days of smooth sailing are about to pass. Soon, his career will undergo a major change... You must help him."

…………

Once again, Wei Shenzhi worked with his assistants until late at night, and dragged along several consultants from the NK firm, including He Dongyu.The discussion didn't end until early in the morning, and He Dongyu joked with his tired body: "It is said that you are a workaholic, and we finally have a deep understanding."

"...Who did you listen to?"

"Those reports on the Internet." He Dongyu tilted his head, "Are you surprised? Our nk rule is not to let go of a single piece of information. Whether it is true or false, first record all of them, and then continue to search."

"Is there any news about me on the Internet?"

"That's natural. Inspur's chairman battle is raging, everyone has heard about it more or less, and you are naturally considered a half-public figure. Therefore, Manager Wei, you must pay attention to your words and deeds. Don't let yourself be on the street like you used to. It's an extraordinary time, maybe Wei Dong will use your behavior to hype up."

Wei Shenzhi nodded.After sending them away, Nuo Da's suite gave birth to herself alone.In the dead of night, the big room was empty, and there was an indescribably eerie feeling.

Just then, his cell phone rang.Looking at the incoming call information displayed on the screen, Wei Shenzhi frowned, but still pressed the call button.

Although he answered the phone, he didn't speak, waiting for the other side of the phone to speak.

"Oh, Wei Shenzhi."

As soon as the voice hit his ears, he felt an uncontrollable hatred and anger.Wei Shenzhi closed his eyes, forced down the negative emotions, and tried to make his voice sound calm: "Wei Dong, good evening."

"Where is Jingjing with you?"

"Yes, she is being well looked after now."

"Oh? Manager Wei, can you do me a favor and let me, a father, talk to my daughter? You know, it's so late now, and it's very dangerous for her to stay out of the house like a girl. .Even if you are a trustworthy person, I want to hear something from my daughter so that I can feel at ease."

In one sentence, it is reasonable and straightforward to classify Wei Shenzhi as a "trustworthy person".However, Wei Shenzhi didn't buy it: "I'm sorry, she has already fallen asleep."

"Oh? She's by your side?"

"Yes. She's in the room next to mine."

"Heh, Manager Wei, don't lie to me." The voice over there smiled lowly, with some inexplicable threats, "Jingjing's mobile phone has GPS global positioning. Her current location is clearly in the suburbs Changping."

Being exposed, Wei Shenzhi didn't feel panicked or embarrassed at all.He switched his phone to the other side: "Oh, that's in the suburbs."

The voice on the other end of the phone was as calm as a pool of stagnant water, and Wei Tianci was really irritated.Anger rose in his voice, but the speed of his speech was still unhurried: "Wei Shenzhi, you should know what will happen if you fool me."

"Then you should also know the fate of intentional murder."

Sure enough, there was a low gasp from over there.Wei Shenzhi heard it, and a sneer hung on his lips: "I can come back and stand in front of you confidently, which means that I still have evidence in my hand. Why, don't you think that you are so powerful that you can cover the sky with one hand?" , Even the judges of the Supreme People's Court can be bribed by you?"

"If you apologize now, I can pretend that I didn't hear anything." The voice over there was extremely cold.

"Oh, is that so, then apologize." Wei Shenzhi said "indifferently".To be honest, he didn't want to annoy Wei Tianci, but just wanted to test the other party with the provocative method, to see if Wei Tianci still had the trump card he thought he had.

"Dong Wei is such a magnanimous person, he won't care about a small manager like me." Through the receiver, Wei Shenzhi's voice was extremely "sincere", "You think so."

"..." Wei Tianci pondered for a while, then suddenly smiled and said, "Naturally. But, Manager Wei, you have to understand. Even if you got me into jail, you must have run out of ammunition and food by then, and you will be powerless. "

"Since you think so, then so be it."

"I heard that you transferred Claire's laboratory to a foreign woman?"

"Miss Selina Sticker. She's a brilliant software engineer."

"You are very kind to these foreigners, and you can even hand over the achievements you have made by yourself."

"I've always applied because of the reason. Miss Sticker is just more suitable for this position."

Wei Shenzhi continued to accompany him to do household chores and practice Tai Chi.Finally, Wei Tianci seemed impatient.He sneered: "Take good care of my daughter, Manager Wei. Don't think I don't know where you took her."

"It's an absolutely safe place, and it's Jingjing's wish. She hasn't seen her grandmother for many years because of her 'benevolent' father."

"Smart people don't speak in secret. Wei Shenzhi, it's not like you don't know that it is absolutely impossible for Jingjing to meet her mother. She has liked these magic tricks since she was a child, and it is these Lao Shizi's spells that have ruined the Wei family for generations. The fortune is thin, and the children and grandchildren are almost cut off."

This changed Wei Shenzhi's silence.After a while, he said, "This is what grandma meant."

"But she was the one who said that their grandparents and grandchildren could not meet each other."

"That's what grandma meant." Wei Shenzhi said, "Grandma told me that if Jingjing came to see me, then let me take her to see her."

"...Trust you for now." Wei Tianci's voice also relaxed.Although he and Wei Shenzhi are enemies, he believes that Wei Shenzhi is not despicable enough to threaten him with a little girl.

"Does Director Wei have anything else to do?"

"Not for the time being." Wei Tianci smiled ambiguously, "Just, Wei Shenzhi, I have a piece of advice, I don't know if I should say it or not."

Wei Shenzhi tightened his grip on the phone.

"People who are not of my race will have a different heart. If you continue to get too close to those foreigners, you will pay the price you deserve."

"..." Did he really know? !

Wei Shenzhi's heart skipped a beat, but his tone remained unchanged: "Thank you for your advice."

"Then, good night."

"Good night."

Facts have proved that the incident happened faster than expected.Three mornings later, he was woken up by a mobile phone call.He originally wanted to decline the call, but the caller turned out to be his deputy A Yu.Worried that something might have happened, he immediately picked up the phone, and heard Ayu, who had always been calm, ask in panic:

"Manager Wei, it's bad! Have you read the headlines on the homepages of major news websites?!"
