One fact must be made clear. Benjamin is also the boss of Grande, so when he directly asked Mo to give him the list of participants for the funeral, Mo could only do it immediately. Vertex 23S. Fastest update
When Mo went to do business, some people's small movements needed to be explained to everyone. Mr. Allen wanted to get close to Benjamin, but Hamilton stopped him; Lu deliberately paused the game, ran to Benjamin and said, "I don't trust werewolves, please leave Toledo." Naturally, Benjamin ignored him without bothering to care. ; Sam had the intention of leading the reporter to Benjamin, but Benjamin waved his hand and refused.
Speaking of these: those who wanted to provoke Benjamin but were stopped, those who came were ignored directly, those who were directly rejected were contaminated, just to compare what happened next
James, who thought it was impossible to care whether he said hello or not, silently prepared to return to the auditorium, but was held down by Benjamin, "You, stay here."
Contrast this with the 'dirty thing' that Benjamin himself pulled to his side.
James didn't feel honored at all, and felt very uncomfortable. He rubbed his shoulder that was hurt by Benjamin's not gentle movements, "What are you going to do! Zach asked you to find me? Tsk! I don't..."
Interrupting, "Shut up."
This was the first time in James' numerous experiences at Grande that Benjamin had treated James with such a bad attitude... No. James had never cared about Benjamin's attitude towards him before, because there was no need. Every time James was in Grand, his attention was on Zach. Even if Benjamin once threw James off Matthew's bed, James Ms. Du didn’t have any special ideas, that was as it should be.
But, now, "You..." James was ready to ask where this inexplicable malice came from.
As soon as he opened his mouth, he was interrupted again, "It would be better if I didn't save you at the beginning of the year and let you die in the woods. Now there won't be so many things."
James' mouth was open, unable to speak.
Benjamin glanced at James, but he was completely unaware that what he said was full of malice, "What's your expression? Did I say something wrong?"
James turned his eyes away and lowered his head to remain quiet.
Benjamin also turned away and glanced at Mokawi. When they first arrived here, the feud between Briar and Cyrus had ended, and the current Mokawi made an offer to the inter-clan vampire couple that they couldn't refuse. Before Benjamin and Mokawi could find a place of their own. , expropriating their homes.
Benjamin didn't pay much attention to what happened on Mokawi's side, and didn't look at James. He spoke to himself, "I never bothered to care about Zach's request to you before. Huh, what about treating aliens equally?" , how to look at the world comprehensively." He shook his head slightly, "Now that I have to work for you, I realized how..."
This may reveal why Benjamin and Mokawi failed to finish what they said here. James, who thought he heard the key points, stared at Benjamin in surprise, "What did you say? You want to do something for me? What are you going to do for me?" ?”
"Replacing." Benjamin didn't seem to bother to look at James at all, and his voice had no fluctuation. "I'm doing it for you. When you're incompetent, I give up and deny the value of your existence. I'll do it for you. This is not helping, please understand."
James opened his mouth. This was a situation he had not expected. Every time Grande was forced into a corner by Zach, James at least had the ability to tell Zach his attitude with his gloomy face. I can't tell you, but Don't think you've convinced me, look at my gloomy face, I just hate you and all the words that come out of your mouth!
Now, James couldn't even show this attitude for a while.
Benjamin's voice still did not rise and fall, "I once thought you were an ordinary person." Benjamin paused inexplicably and said, "Ordinary person." He didn't know what he was thinking of, but he shook his head and said, "Human."
Seeing the end of shaking his head, Benjamin had the tendency to speak again.
"People!" James quickly jumped in, "Just stop at people! Don't continue!" Although James had no idea what Benjamin was expressing, he just felt that something would happen if Benjamin continued to define himself.
Benjamin turned his head and glanced at James this time, and said, "Human. It doesn't matter whether he is alive or dead. If I picked it up, I will pick it up and take it home."
Benjamin's next words made James realize his situation.
"Madison takes that indifference as kindness."
*!
The way James is feeling now, Benjamin has also read those bullshit stories written by Madison!
Do you remember what state James was in when Sibella drove to Grande four days ago? It's avoidance! Even after avoiding it, Barton knew that he was a person who hated foreigners from the bottom of his heart!
James's narrow heart made him think that his life would be in danger!
Everyone thought that James, who had been disobeying Darcy's orders since the first day when Darcy appointed him as the chief of the Barton North District Police Station, why did he accept the orders honestly and come here to carry out the police's duties today? pot
It was James who knew that the Barton aliens did not dare to come here! This is the Allen Funeral Home, where the Sabbat Eight are!
But at this moment, the narrow, life-threatening feeling finally subsided for a while after the funeral, and it rekindled, and it was still the same kind of explosion. Because of Benjamin! This is the reason why James originally saved his life in the woods on the border of Barton!
At this moment, Benjamin is telling James that it was the storyteller who forced it onto his body, Benjamin! In fact, it's just an Alpha and doesn't care about 'people'!
"Why are you shaking?" Benjamin didn't look at James. The image of James on the edge of his field of vision was going in and out at high speed. "Are you surprised? You should understand that the so-called "I saved you" is actually just me. I just chose not to kill you. Fighting you in front of Zach was just after I made the choice not to kill you. Casually, I used my boring mentality as a restored human being, different from the wolf body, to do something human. I have no intention of leaving your dying body to turn into a corpse in the woods where I go once a month, waiting to rot. I thought Zach would directly use the Eye of Charm on you to eliminate all trouble. Simple and simple."
The truth is getting colder and colder. James' shaking became more and more serious.
Benjamin shook his head again, "Huh, who knew, you could make Zach interested in keeping you with a pair of Kozier's underwear. Then, I don't care."
One thing needs to be explained, Madison did not write it wrong. The indifference that Benjamin said was that he, as an Alpha, could give the world the most precious kindness, haha, even if his original intention was just to distinguish his wolf from a human with a newly revealed, slightly weird mentality. Of course, you can add a touch of sarcasm to this sentence as you like.
Maybe it was because James kept telling him the boundaries of his vision that made Benjamin impatient. He raised his hand and palmed James' back, "Stand still!"
James forced his body to collapse and closed his mouth tightly.
"I have to admit that most of the time, I don't understand what Zach is doing. I just think vampires are more human than me. At least they don't have to take one day out of every month to completely abandon their human form and become unable to remember anything. Animals. Especially Zach, who saw me for the first time on the battlefield, and Toledo, who still had time to tell the soldiers around him to run away. He is more like..." He frowned, "Human."
Inexplicably, at this point in time when Benjamin was already destined to leave Grande, he began to express his heartfelt expressions from the very beginning? Object, or James
"If he can do something, then, even if I don't understand it, just be by his side, follow it, and cooperate with him. That's it. I can be more human."
It's getting...weird.
Apart from shaking his head, Benjamin seemed to be unable to use more body parts to match his words, "But after all, he is him and I am me."
Mo walked over with the list in his hand, probably feeling that the topic was about to change. Benjamin didn't even give James time to absorb this weird 'confession'. It was so weird, "Madison's story didn't I should have weight. His interpretation of my character is just a functional setting that exists to match Zach's performance, Matthew's education, attitude towards wizards, exchange with wolf personality, and Mokavi's Encounter... This should all be my moment. Did you see what Madison wrote? Passing, omitting, active time, all left to Zach, his salvation of the whole scene, his mood changes, his entanglements and sad. Now, it's time to move away from Zach's story and start my own."
After receiving the list from Mo, there was no connection in the middle, "Okay, it will be separated according to the names of republicans and federal people."
Then he handed the list to James, who was almost unconscious with every nerve in his body, "The next victim of the Republic is here."
James couldn't speak, all because Benjamin's words were too, too... It was difficult for James to even pinch the list.
"How do you know?" Mo asked. She heard part of Benjamin's words, but she knew it was best to pretend not to hear them, unless she was willing to be the one who relayed these words to Zach.
Do you know the truth that no one who spreads the word will end well
But someone is willing.
And this willing person, with the spirit of "I am a wizard, I don't care if it is difficult to become a Sabbat vampire", opened the door of the auditorium in front of a group of reporters, "The people of Allen Funeral Home are incineration If you have any questions, please ask."
Then Benjamin came over as he looked over and said, "I only have one thing to say." It was Zac's wizard, Sam, "Do you really think so, or did Mokavi teach you this. I want to use my understanding of What Zach knows now, with his hypocritical nature of respecting the choices of everyone around him, is that this will be his only problem."
Benjamin actually smiled when Mo lowered his head and pretended not to hear anything, "Haha, you know it well. He would probably thank me for praising him for being more human, and then say with a sad face, 'What if this It's Benjamin's choice', and finally asked who taught me to say this."
Sam shrugged.
Benjamin took a deep breath, "Mokavi didn't teach me, she helped me summarize it. She used Toledo's eyes." The meaning of the latter sentence is that Mokavi can see his own face in everything, Used Toledo's perspective to help Benjamin summarize the reasons why he wanted to leave Grande.
Sam reacted for a moment and nodded, "If I really got to know Zach, I bet he would express his gratitude for the praise again."
Benjamin ended the topic with his last words, "You can't lose this bet, he will definitely be grateful." When his eyes left Sam, "You can follow him with peace of mind and be a normal person, Samuel." Benjamin encouraged him at the beginning. Zac accepts the origin of Sam, the wizard.
Sam stopped talking. He needed to return to Grande and repeat these words before he could process all of this in his mind. So, he left Allen Funeral Home.
Benjamin's eyes returned to Mo. Mo was really cooperative. He completely pretended that the interruption did not exist and asked again, "How do you know that the next victim of the Republic is on this list?"
"Because Mokawi discovered the reason why the Republicans were killed." Benjamin turned his head and glanced in Mokawi's direction. Mokawi actually gave a thumbs up in this direction, which was inexplicable.
But it was this thumb that made Benjamin smile, as if he was encouraged. Benjamin moved his body and said, "I haven't said so many words for a long time." It was just a boring sigh, unrelated to the topic, "James, if you continue to be so indifferent, I guarantee you will feel more uncomfortable than in front of Zach. I don’t have as many goals as he does, and if someone disappoints me, I let them know my disappointment.”
How many times, everyone said, how many times, Zach could make James, the detective who was dragging down Barton's IQ, disappear with one finger, but Zach didn't, and Zach had to be reasonable.
Now, Benjamin is telling James that he is not as reasonable as Zach.
James' tense body was supported by Mo, who frowned and said, "Don't..." He shook his head and gave up the trouble of being caught between James and Benjamin. "Forget it, tell me, Benjamin."
"The ** of faith. The ** that kills infidels." Benjamin pointed to the sky, "Every time the sky is filled with the protective ** inspired by the Holy Lord's faith for its own safety, the... things that respond to the ** of faith will... Will make this a reality."
Before Mo could continue to ask, Benjamin said: "Mo, what did you say when you first met Danny? Do you still remember? You said he was similar to something you saw in the Holy Lord's faith in the Republic. ."
“Gee…”
Benjamin was bound to fly once by himself without giving anyone a chance to speak. Even the person he asked the question.
When Mo slowly closed his mouth that had just uttered a word, Benjamin said with the ease of a creature who did not believe in the Holy Lord: "And every time, when the Republicans convey to the Federals that people do not need to believe, this **, will appear. Oh, don't be surprised, Mo, you know that the current republicans will not tell the traditional stories of the republic to the federal people with any respect. There is only one sentence, 'We once believed in those, now, we only believe in ourselves', and This is the reason why the republicans died. They said this to the federal people. The faith of the Holy Lord is eradicating those who threaten their existence." Finally, "This is your case, James. In this case, the republic will inevitably be destroyed. When people and Federation people are together, the conversation will inevitably come to the funeral of cultural conflict. Such topics will inevitably come up. Death will follow."
