Silver Blade and Rose

Strictly speaking, this matter is not something that Zals can try if he wants to. Edwin does not intend to let him enter the "Forest of No Return" directly, because it is really dangerous and unpredictable, and Zals may come out if he enters rashly. big problem.

So he borrowed the key from the forest guard, and he didn't immediately go back to No. 179 with Zals, but chose to go to another place first.

Zals read the address he said several times, and asked in confusion, "What are you doing in prison?"

It is more than four o'clock in the morning, and it is still dark, and he has been to the prison address reported by Edwin. It used to take him more than three hours to go there by bus from school, but now it takes at least two hours to drive there from Forest Park. Hours, when they arrived, it should be dawn.

"Look for someone." Edwin sat in the passenger seat for the first time, perhaps for the convenience of talking to him, "That person is serving his sentence in prison and can't get out in a short time, so we have to find him."

Zales wanted to ask who it was, but felt another thing was more important: "You should wear your seat belt."

Edwin was puzzled: "What seat belt?"

Zales: "..."

So this gentleman sat in the back seat of the car for so long, but never wore a seat belt?

He suddenly felt that although Edwin was very powerful and not human, he lived in human society, so he needed a vivid traffic safety education class.

The kind that elementary school students will have in general education classes.

He reluctantly unbuckled the seat belt he had already fastened, stretched across Edwin's body to pull the seat belt on his side, and fastened it properly. After hearing a crisp "click" sound, he explained: "This It is one of the measures to protect the safety of the passengers. If you don’t wear a seat belt, if there is a car accident, you may fly out.”

"But of course I won't fly out." Edwin refuted his point of view calmly.

Zarles paused, then continued: "The traffic police will fine you if they find you are not wearing a seat belt."

He gave up continuing to educate Edwin on traffic safety, and while setting up the navigation, he remembered something from a long time ago.

"This speaker seems to have never locked me in the car again." He patted the slightly old speaker, which was playing the piano music that Edwin likes conscientiously, not at all like before. Locked in the car, "Is it broken?"

Edwin glanced at the speaker and said indifferently, "It's just bullying. Others have never been teased by it before. You were too weak before."

"..."

Although it was indeed true, when the words came out of his mouth, it seemed that there was a bit of disgust for no reason.

Zars couldn't help but began to reflect on whether he was so weak before, and whether he had caused Edwin a lot of trouble. After all, even a car stereo dared to bully him, and he had to rely on Edwin to save him. Bullying, but it shouldn't be any better.

He lowered his head and said nothing. Edwin suddenly realized that he seemed to have said something that was not right. He froze for a moment, and suddenly changed his words: "I mean, you have made great progress during this time."

When he said that, Zals was stunned when he came back to his senses, and then said: "Actually, I didn't care about this."

Edwin nodded slightly, and did not continue the topic.The car was speeding on the highway, and apart from the music playing on the speakers, only a little sound from the engine could be heard. Zars didn't think about what to say, so he closed his mouth silently and fell silent.

No one spoke, and the speaker did not make any other sound except for playing piano music. It was not until more than two hours later that the sky lit up and the car stopped in the parking lot in front of the prison. Edwin said, "What will happen in the future?" If you are unhappy, remember to say it."

"……Um?"

Zals, who was turning the key to turn off the engine, was stunned, but he had already opened the door and got out of the car.Zals looked out of the window and found that Edwin was walking straight towards the registration office, reached out and knocked on the window of the duty room that was still lit, and waited for the guard inside to open the communication window before he said anything, pointing Point to the direction where Zals is, and then write on the register.

Zals quickly pulled out the car key, locked the car and followed his footsteps, and walked into the small open door together.

He wanted to say something, maybe to thank Edwin, or maybe to ask what kind of person they were looking for, but after thinking about it, he finally said nothing and followed Edwin into the York City Jail reception hall.

The guards had sent their registration information inside, and the prison guard who was in charge of contact sat in the reception area, first confirmed the identity documents of the two of them, and then asked routinely: "Mr. Owen and Mr. Drake, are you two visiting?" Chester Fern?"

Zals didn't know who they were going to visit at all, turned to look at Edwin, and waited for him to answer.But at the same time, he felt that the name Xuesting Fern was somewhat familiar.

He thought for a while, and when Edwin and the other party finished communicating, he suddenly remembered where he had heard this name——

That was his case analysis class at school. Xuesting Fein was the murderer of a serial murder case three years ago. He killed at least five people while fleeing in York City. The dead bodies were all tortured beyond recognition. DNA identification was required to determine identity.Fern was also able to be caught because he left traces and DNA that were not cleaned up at the scene. Zals was still in high school when this case happened, but Fern was not arrested until he was a freshman in college.

The murderer confessed to his criminal facts, and the investigation of the case ended smoothly soon after he was brought to justice.This case caused a lot of panic among the people in York City. During the trial, many people waited outside the courtroom, wanting to get a result. In the end, Finn was sentenced to life imprisonment and is still in prison.

Zarles still remembers that he had many strange admirers, and after he was imprisoned, he still tried every means to visit him in prison and interview him.This kind of deformed worship was specially singled out by their teacher at that time, which left a deep impression on him, but those people were not allowed to visit the prison at that time, and were stopped by the security facilities, and the prison did not allow such things It makes sense that "unstable factors" would enter to visit dangerous serial killers.

"We're going to visit Fern?" he couldn't help asking at last, "but isn't he..."

Are visits not allowed?

"We have special identities, and of course we have special qualifications." Edwin said calmly, "And Xuesting Fern was originally from the Exorcist Association."

While talking, they happened to turn to a surveillance blind spot. The road was only half a meter short, but Edwin slowed down as if on purpose, and took advantage of this short gap to say: "The murderer of the serial murder case has another It's just that the social impact of the case is too great, and a murderer must be tried, so he was chosen."

Zales: "...Is that so?"

Even if this kind of thing is true, is it really okay to say this in prison?

Why can't you tell him in the car that you have to get here before throwing out such an understatement explanation too slowly?

He thought so, and asked the same question, but Edwin said, "I thought you had seen the list of all registered exorcists in York City."

……I see.

Zales did look at the Exorcist files for a while, but not all of them—he only looked at the ones that were still active and the ones he felt needed to know, but ignored some of the people who had been suspended.

Presumably, Xuesting Fenn's files were classified in that part, so he ignored them.

"What kind of person is he?" He asked Edwin as he walked, deliberately lowering his voice so that the leading prison guard who was walking three or four steps away could not hear him. "I only heard about that case, but I haven't seen him in person."

"Not a nice guy," Edwin said casually, "When you meet him on the road, remember to walk around."

Zals originally thought he was just making an analogy, but he didn't expect that he would actually meet this dangerous "serial murderer" on the road after a while.

At least for now, he only regards the name Xuesting Fern as the person they want to help. After entering the visiting room, he also cooperates with Edwin to pretend to be a taciturn assistant, sitting in the corner without saying a word.

Then he heard Edwin say surprisingly: "Long time no see, do you want to escape from prison?"
