Zach had not planned to go downstairs. Occasionally, he did not participate in it. It was also fun to just watch James feel uncomfortable from above. No one had a hint of the dark side.
but. A flash of colored light illuminated the wine bottle in Zach's hand, "James collapsed." Just one sentence, and then the colored light quickly escaped and disappeared.
Zach tilted his head and looked in the direction where the colorful light disappeared. "Danny?" There was no response.
Zach frowned and decided to go down.
"James!" Kate immediately put down the dinner plate in her hand, making no secret that she didn't want to stay in Grande anymore, and trotted towards the car that had just parked in the backyard, "You're here~ I heard it's noisy over there. , thought we had to wait..."
James got out of the car, held Kate in his arms, and almost forced him to walk back to Grande.
"James?" Kate didn't mind being hugged by her boyfriend, but James did and pushed him back to the Grand backyard. They didn't mind Zach, who was already walking towards them with a bottle of wine, "I've finished collecting the information, we should go back and take me home..."
"No." James didn't look at Kate beside him and continued to lead Kate towards... Let's be clear, Zach.
Zach has noticed the indescribable expression on James's face, but it is impossible to say hello. Believe it or not, when it comes to James and Kate getting together, Zach's thoughts are: James asked for trouble, James dealt with it himself. So Zach looked at Kate and put on the smile that Zach showed most often, "Is this your boyfriend? Let me introduce you?"
"Still pretending." James started to speak, but was interrupted by Kate, which was unexpected.
When Zach raised his eyebrows, Kate changed from being hugged by James to blocking in front of James. She acted strangely, but was immediately answered - Kate frowned and stared at Zach, "Stop pretending." , you know Detective Lance! You may have some unknown relationship with the South District police, but my boyfriend is a North District police officer! You'd better put away that fake smile of yours!"
Kate's voice was loud, probably on purpose. You can see the reason just by looking at Allen's employees. Allen's employees enjoying the hot pot instantly gave up occupying the position closest to the hot pot and turned their attention this way.
Zach was not so obedient, and still had a smiling look under his raised eyebrows, because Kate's next behavior was even more difficult to understand.
Kate blocked James' attempt to move forward again, "Forget it James, I have interviewed what I want. We can go back. There is no need to say more to him."
Zach tilted his head slightly, glanced at the people here with concern, and noticed Austin's dodge, ah, so that's it.
When Austin first came to work in Grande, he witnessed the North District police, more specifically, the process of James kidnapping Zach, remember.
I don’t know whether Kate used her professionalism as a reporter to find Austin and found out about this, or whether James informed Kate after contacting him.
Of course, there is a difference. The former is a clue that proves that Kate has not let Grande go, and the latter is that James is trying to find a reason for his contact with Grande.
Zach's eyes returned to James' face. No matter what it was, James could do it. It was good to hate Grande with Kate.
However, James's complexion does not seem to be good now, but is on the verge of collapse.
Kate's attempt to stop James from moving forward failed. James moved closer to Zach again, stared at the bottle in Zach's hand, and spoke without Zach's eyebrows reaching the horizon, "Blood, human?" Still from sheep.”
collapsed.
Zach opened his mouth. James in the center of his field of vision seemed to be waiting for Zach's answer. Kate next to him looked confused.
Everyone knows Zach, he can calmly face Papa Midnight, face James, hum.
"Sheep." Zach pointed to the dinner scene in the center of the backyard. There was a whole table filled with chopped ingredients. Of course, the most popular thing was the sliced meat. "Everyone takes what he needs and doesn't waste it. Right~"
James glanced at the people who had turned around. There were many people James had never seen before, including Bain's wife who was holding the baby. James continued, "Very well, drink more. Newton's demons are attacking Barton's demon barrier. Darcy asked me to come to you and bring more vampires to defend."
The backyard was completely quiet.
I don't know who bumped into the corner of the table while taking food, but he got up without making a sound and looked at Zach.
"Darcy?" Zach shook the bottle, "Because of the Sabbat, why can't he interfere with the demon's actions, haha." Zach would not lower his laughter just because the audience was quiet. This topic was started by James. What did we just say? It was self-inflicted trouble that someone had to deal with, and Zach had nothing to worry about.
"Yes." James was very calm, with a collapse-like calm. He didn't know whether he was imitating Zach or because all the beliefs he insisted on had been shattered into pieces. He did not lower his voice at all, "He said that if you guard against Live in Newton Devil, and the Sabbat will give you a reward.”
"How generous." Zach shrugged, "Then I'll accept it." He raised his head and drank the wine, while raising his hand to signal Louise's red eyes to fade away.
"I have something else to tell you." James looked away from Zach and looked at the only person still moving in the backyard—Benjamin. Benjamin was holding a pile of dinner plates and pulling a handle. The chair sat at the exit of the backyard, and at the same time, he instructed Matthew to sit in another corner of the backyard.
James continued calmly, "Skoll is coming out, but he is not going to come out alive. He wants to fulfill the devil's contract and then complete the devil's advancement in the Church of the Holy Child. Mike is not here, so he needs to watch it in person, so that Al Something’s wrong with Rick.”
Zach nodded and raised his hand again, this time not to Louise, but to Sam. Unexpectedly, Sam had already held a puppet in his hand and was about to put it in the center of the crowd in the backyard. No matter what Sam wants to do, it's best to stop it as soon as possible.
Zach didn't forget to respond, "Okay, although I don't think it will be of any help if I'm there."
"There's one more thing." When Kate leaned over in complete confusion, James addressed the opponent directly, "Chapman also asked me to say 'thank you' to you. His son was cured because of your blood."
"You're welcome." Zach shrugged, "He also sacrificed a lot." The colleague looked at Mo and the Great Dane speechlessly -
Mo pushed the Great Dane beside him as he walked to another corner of the backyard, "Don't stand with me! Go block the other exit!"
The quiet tone of watching Zach and James' conversation was broken.
When the 'ignorant' humans noticed that the four corners of the space they were in had been occupied by Grand members, they finally put down their dinner plates, and then came chaos, accompanied by the most honest, most at a loss, Matthew, who has just recently realized that his identity in this world is that of a foreign race and a werewolf, asked about his Alpha: "I, we don't have to kill these people, he, they..."
Overturned tables, broken dishes... these are not what we need to care about. It's James we should be concerned about.
James finally had an expression on his calm face, looking at the chaos in the backyard, and when the person who first thought the Great Dane was an obedient family dog was thrown away by the giant red tail, the host Kate's hands tightened, " Don't worry Kate, no one will die." It was an indescribable smile.
At least it's hard to describe in Kate's eyes, "James, James? You, what are you talking about..."
"Don't worry." James also patted Kate's waist. Is this supposed to be comfort? "I have to do this once, just like this, say what I want to say without any scruples, without any ties, without any reservations, just say whatever I want, without..."
James could probably go on and on.
"James!!" But Kate probably used all her strength to shout, and it was already necessary for James to turn a building into a hug to barely stand on the spot, "That, that's..."
That's... Well, how can I describe it? On the side of the Great Dane Gold, the person was thrown away in the shadow of vermilion; on the other side of the ink, the person was already rolling on the ground when he saw the ink floating two meters above the ground. The crawler turned and tried to crawl to another place; on Matthew's side, Matthew only repeated, "Please don't come, I don't want to hurt you..."; on Benjamin's side, Benjamin continued to enjoy dinner under Alpha's skin, no one past.
So, please understand Kate's loss of speech and what little sanity she has left. Kate's hands were going to James' waist.
James easily pushed away Kate's hand that had already holstered the gun. "This thing is useless. Only silver weapons are effective against these things." James said that he would have no reservations about it. What
"Dong, stuff..." Kate is not simple either, although it will not do her any good to grasp the key words now.
"Well, they are aliens. They are not human beings." James, driven by his own behavior in his own collapsed world, pointed in the direction of the Great Dane as if explaining, "That's a shapechanger. The vermilion you see now is its original appearance. It always looked like me at first and caused me a lot of trouble." James waved his hand and pointed at Mo, "She is a ghost from the Republic. , she is not afraid of vampire blood, oh, vampire." James seemed to hesitate for a moment, glanced at Zach, who was still drinking calmly, and turned in the direction of Benjamin, "That's a werewolf." He wanted to keep Zach there. Finally, he said, "He is Alpha, and the full moon has just passed, so you don't need to be too afraid of his appearance. He has a more terrifying appearance."
Do you know the dream plot that probably exists in every girl's heart, where the male protagonist takes the girl to see the world
It’s dreamy now.
It was so dreamy that someone started to faint, there was the first one, there was the second one, there was the third one...
"Zach!!"
Everyone can guess who made this bell-like roar. Well, Hong Zhong was exposed, it was Old Hank, the only one who still cared about Grande in this situation.
Zach put down the upturned wine bottle, glanced at Old Hank, pursed his lips, and returned his gaze to James, "Is it okay? James, are you comfortable?"
James took a deep breath. This was probably the most relaxing deep breath James had taken this year. He nodded, "Okay." Then he continued to face Kate, "Don't worry, Zach is a vampire, his eyes, well, you will see it, then." James looked around the chaotic backyard, "No one here, including you, will remember this, haha." He smiled again, and the thing that collapsed into slag should be powdered now, "That's what vampires can do, I know, it makes people afraid. Well. At least now you know the real reason why I hate Grande. Even if it’s only for a moment, you will forget it soon... "
When James nodded, Zach had already moved, leaving two red afterimages in the air. Accompanied by erratic sounds throughout the venue, Zach was correcting James, "Toledo, James Ms., this is the ability that Toledo is proud of, not all vampires can be like this~"
Zach's voice pointed once at a corner of the backyard, in front of Mo, "Food poisoning, this is the Federation. Although everyone seems to like this thing called hot pot, the people of the Federation, haha, really are not used to this kind of thing." The way everyone eats from the same pot, what do you think?”
Mo - "I have no objection~"
Zach nodded and continued to fly around the field. The red afterimage continued to shuttle among the fallen, confused, and frightened people, burying false memories.
Louise did not join in, but looked at James with red eyes, pursed her lips and shook her head, not knowing what she was thinking.
James noticed, "At least don't let Zach do it, Louise, you erase Kate's memory." This was a request.
Louise lowered her head, thought for a while, and nodded at the end of her thinking.
Just as he was about to walk towards Kate who was trying to break free from James' arms, Zach ended his detour and stood in front of Louise, "No, Louise." Zach's red eyes with a smile retreated to the point where he could Putting on the light green of the stars, "We can't do everything for James, right~"
The trouble you brought upon yourself...
The Grand members occupying the four corners of the backyard are already returning to their original positions. The humans who have just seen the truth have returned to 'ignorance', and they no longer need to guard the exit.
As for Zach, when he was satisfied with James, he finally returned to the gloomy face we are familiar with. Zach was still smiling. This was the James he was familiar with. Our vampire looked at Kate, "You must still have countless questions, right? Miss Kate. You don't want to insult your expertise in seeking the truth, do you? You don't want me to erase your memory, just like these people-" Ke pointed to the backyard, those 'ignorant', 'food poisoned' humans.
Probably out of instinct, Kate shook her head and opened her fearful eyes.
"Okay." Zach nodded with a smile, "Then I won't obey your boyfriend's orders to erase your memory. No need to thank me."
"Zach!!" It was James.
Zach hugged Louise, "Charlie, I know you have come out, and Flanders, hehe, you can also come down from the roof. My part in the 'James Show' has ended , we leave the scene to the protagonist, haha, we still have business, we need to protect Barton from being invaded by the Newton Demon, right?" Zach pointed in the direction of the border, "Let's go~" He didn't forget to add, "Hank, you You can call the emergency number." (.)
