Completely opposite to the tranquility in front of the main entrance of Mary's Church, the rear area looks messy and busy, starting from the former training hall to the work area of the clergy. Vertex 23S. Fastest update
Louise stood in the flow of people and didn't know what to do for a while.
The generous body stood in front of Louise, it was Mother Teresa, "Don't stand, help!"
Louise frowned as she looked at the demon that possessed the nun who had raised her, but she still took off her coat, pulled up her sleeves, and took the vegetable basin from Teresa's hand. Yes, the vegetable basin.
"Send it over there." Teresa pointed in the direction, "One spoon per person, no more and no less! If anyone wants more, kick him!" After saying this, she turned around and walked away.
Louise was stunned for a moment, then shook her head and headed in that direction with the vegetable basin in her hand.
Remember the abandoned training center I told you about? The place where Louise grew up was still open to homeless people who had nowhere to take shelter during the rainy season in the summer. Now the place is also filled with homeless people. Louise stood in front of a group of people designated by Teresa, picked up the spoon in the basin, and began to deliver food to these homeless people.
Do you still remember the time when Ghoul Harrison went around asking for cooperation to find housing for homeless people who could not be accommodated in the shelter during the upcoming winter season
At that time, the two places that were willing to take him in were the basement of Becky's Pixar Department Store and the old training hall next to Mary's Church.
But looking at the current capacity here, Louise didn't seem to have a place to divert the traffic. "Where did you come from?" she asked a guy casually.
"Give me more and I'll tell you!"
As if she was unlucky, Louise walked directly to the next one. The spoon already filled with food hovered on the wooden plate raised by the homeless man in front of her, and she refused to put it down. "Tell me, where you come from, there is something Eat." Louise changed her policy.
"Pixar!" He looked at the food in Louise's spoon eagerly.
Louise nodded, the food was delivered, and the next one said, "Then why are you here? Answer, change, food."
"Pixar has been bought! There's no place to live there!"
Louise was very satisfied. Next, "Who bought it? You know the rules."
"I, I don't know" looked at Louise begging.
Louise frowned, but still gave the food. But this game of trading food for answers can no longer be played.
Louise simply stopped asking questions, quickly distributed the food, and then began to look for targets among the busy people.
"Are you looking for me?" The fallen angel appeared in Lewis's sight, in demon form.
Louise didn't respond. She gave him a look and asked for a place where she could talk quietly.
The fallen angel received it, suspended in the air and submerged into the wall.
Louise curled her lips speechlessly. Fortunately, she was familiar with this place. After going around a few corners, she saw the fallen angel Jessica again in the kitchen holding two kitchen knives, fiercely chopping the food on the plate. . Yes, it’s time to return to the container.
"What's going on with those homeless people outside?" Louise was really helpless. Teresa was here too. Regardless of whether she wanted to or not, a bucket of potatoes had been pushed in front of her. Then just peel it off.
"Quist bought Pixar, and the first step in declaring ownership of the property is to remove Pixar's loss-making charity~" Jessica said, shaking her head.
The potatoes in Louise's hand were peeled off at a rate of three seconds. Don't worry about anything, there are no humans here. "Why, this charity is related to Quinn and Smith after all. Isn't Quest afraid of offending them..." Halfway through, Louise curled her lips and shook her head, offended? Ha, I'm afraid this is Quest's purpose. Quist himself believed that it was Smith who made his supermarket unable to open due to the ashes prank some time ago. He may feel that this is revenge.
Seeing that Louise was silent, Jessica chuckled twice, "What's the matter with you?"
"I'm looking for Walter." Seeing that Teresa had a tendency to continue sending potatoes, Louise slowed down, "Maggie said you lent someone away."
"Oh." Jessica's side face showed a smile, "Let him help me do something."
"Zach is missing, I need Walter's help." Louise said directly.
"Zach is missing?" Jessica raised her eyebrows, stopped moving her hands, and looked at Louise in confirmation.
Louise didn't want to say something she didn't know either, so she didn't answer, but continued her purpose, "Where are the Walters?"
Jessica held the knife and pointed in the direction of the church, "In my office, but you may have to wait, he is not in this world now."
Louise frowned and looked at Jessica, "Where did you let him go?"
"Haha, if you don't talk about Zach, I won't answer your question~" Jessica shrugged.
"If it's hell, you can go there by yourself." Louise doesn't mind. After all, we are not best friends, and we are not willing to share~ But reasonable reasoning and testing are in line with the friendly relationship between the two, "So you can't go Only the place where Walter is allowed to go is right?”
Jessica didn't stop her, she just kept smiling and chopping the food under her hands.
"It can't be the world of Cerberus. The Republic case is over." Louise rolled her eyes a little irritably. We had a chance to talk about this. "You have no reason to let Walter go. It can't be heaven either. Based on the 'friendship' that you and the saint have already established because of the mirror angel..." It still feels a little strange to say it, "If you have anything to do with heaven, you can go directly to the angel, no Walter is needed."
Jessica still didn't stop her, but looked at Louise expectantly, as if to encourage, 'Go on, let's see what else you can say about the world. '
Louise picked up a potato and looked at the uneven lines, "You asked Walter to go back for a certain time." She curled her lips, threw away the potato, and stopped doing the work she shouldn't have done. Look Looking at Jessica, "Maybe we want the same thing. You are investigating the missing soul in the last bus case at the south and north junctions, right?" Louise hesitated for a moment, but said it, "I want to stab him." Ke’s disappearance is related to that time.”
"That's it." The fallen angel also stopped working, and a shadow poked out from behind Jessica, who was still chopping vegetables, until it was completely separated and floated towards Louise, "Then let's go take a look." Floating ahead and leading the way, "Do you want to hear the information I have now?"
There was no better topic to talk about anyway, "Let's talk."
Leaving the kitchen again, Louise listened to the fallen angel's narration among the busy people and homeless people.
"In the hell I control, I have dug up the information from the souls that have been assigned to hell to the limit. Do you know who the person in that car is?"
Louise apparently doesn't respond to air in the presence of humans.
"Foreigners." The fallen angel gave the answer. "They are not from the Federation, but they are northerners who have similar faces to the Federation people."
A country of immigrants in the Federal North? An enemy country in a war that ended ten years ago? Ike (Camille's vessel) briefly mentions the North Kingdom having dirty and treasonous dealings with the Sabbat
Louise was stunned for a moment.
"Their souls have been processed. I can't get more information about their experiences, but what can be confirmed is that, haha, John's judgment is right. They come here for only one purpose, Zachary Toledo."
Gave Louise time to digest.
"They seem to have been given an order to destroy our, haha, our Zach~" Don't pay attention to the name, "The assassination order in their soul mark is followed by the means of execution. 'Soul expansion', you heard Have you ever experienced anything like this?”
Louise gave the fallen angel a speechless eye roll. How could Louise know, Louise is so young!
The fallen angel didn't mind, "It works a bit like the soul corrosive potion used by hunters in our federation to prevent them from turning into aliens after death. But the way it works is completely opposite. Haha, you may know that the soul corrosive potion used by our hunters The corrosive potion contains ingredients of vampire blood. Its purpose is to prevent the soul from being born into other things at the time of death. It will be corroded and disappear along with the death of the body (it was a potion that was not used by the angry waves in Mrs. White's house when he was attacking Zach. His fellow hunters used it), and even the existence of the Earth-Binding Spirit may have been directly obliterated. This 'soul expansion' begins to take effect before the body dies."
The humanoid figure of the fallen angel began to expand, "Just like this." He was demonstrating to Louise.
The rolling thick black fog instantly obscured Louise's entire vision, "Ha~ Of course, I can continue to grow bigger, but when the soul in a human body expands to about half this size,... poof~ just Just like if I don't limit my power in this world and possess my true form, my soul and container will both die."
Louise frowned, remembering the twisted bus wreckage on the news. Shaking her head, fortunately, she had walked out of the place where the homeless people were and entered the church. Louise could answer the question, "Did those souls who belong to hell not have time to use this 'soul expansion'?"
"Yes. Most of them were people who were instantly killed by Zach, and John also contributed a few. These northerners entered the normal death process before they had time to do anything. Their bodies were instantly killed, and their souls began to die and reappear. Finally, they were killed by Cerberus belongs in my hell."
While Louise continued to walk, she lowered her head and thought for a while, "It sounds like you have investigated clearly. The missing soul is..." Louise didn't know how to describe it, so she could only raise her hand to make an inflated gesture, "Pfft. ." imitating the expression of the fallen angel, "The soul no longer exists. Then what else do you want?"
"You didn't realize it, right?" The fallen angel seemed a little disappointed, "The soul expands, expands." Repeating the word, "The effect on the human soul is to expand with a force that the human body can no longer contain, then if it also You can force the soul to show its original appearance. Do you know what this means to us, demons, angels, alien souls who do not belong to this world?"
Louise's pupils began to shrink, "Forcing you to show your true posture, and then you will be punished by the laws of the world!"
Remember that Dylan’s small promotion from undead to demon caused him to burn down Smith’s warehouse. Does anyone want to imagine the worldly punishment that a fallen angel can incur
"Exactly." The surging black mist returned to the human form, and the fallen angel turned his head, using Jessica's appearance, "Do you want to see my true posture? Spoiler, I am better than you. So beautiful~”
Louise looked at the smiling face of the fallen angel and smiled in agreement, "Okay, you can still joke, the matter is not too serious, right?"
"I'm going to let you down. It's not about seriousness or not, but ignorance. I'm relaxed now just because of my ignorance." The fallen angel continued to lead the way, "The souls of the Northerners in hell have all their information, except those related to this mission. There is nothing except the memory of the soul. You can think that these people are the soldiers who assassinated Zach. Then, I don’t know where this ‘soul expansion’ comes from. Who made this group of northerners come to Barton? Is there any follow-up action?" There was helplessness in the voice, "Ignorance."
Louise pondered for a moment, suppressing her worries about Zach, "So you want Walter to go back and look for any clues?"
"This is the idea." The fallen angel affirmed, "But you also know Walter, he never explains what he has experienced in other worlds." As if he was helpless, "And it is impossible for me to ask him, what is the truth about anything?" It would be too risky for me not to import foreign races into this world.”
Do you still remember the analogy of Pandora's box? A fallen angel will never open it in order to protect her own world of hell.
Remember what the witchcraft faith calls the demonic angels of the Holy Lord faith, guys who come to this world to steal souls!
"But even you are starting to lose patience." Louise was a little helpless.
"Yes, it seems like there is nothing I can do now except keep forcing Walter to go back to that point in time to find clues that he can come back to tell me." The two of them were already standing in front of an office door, with fallen angels lingering Turning around in the dark mist, "It's you, Walter mentioned something to Grande when I asked him to work last time."
Louise felt that she had said it all, because she had nothing to hide, "Last Saturday night, Zach inexplicably returned to that point in time, and after a period of time in reality was broken, he was pushed out by Walter and lost his memory. .”
The fallen angel shook his body, "Uh-huh." I don't know what he was thinking, "Do you think Zach disappeared this time, and he ran back to that time again?"
"I hope it will be."
"It's better not to get your hopes up." Fallen Angel waved and opened the door, "If so, Walter should have gotten Zach out long ago."
Behind the door was a large desk, burning candles, and Walter, still wearing his delivery uniform, lying on the table.
Where Walter is now, it's not in the time of Zach's cycle anyway.
Very realistic and ironic:
Have you ever heard of the famous time tragedy story? Two people in love live in a world that is always one second apart. Continuous missing, constant regret, just because of that one second that divided the timeline.
With a golden, long string of Roman characters on his head, Walter watches over and over again as Zach kills the passengers, and then Cyrus is stabbed by John's weapon, forcing Zach to stop attacking and start saving Cyrus' life.
Why does the time of Walter's cycle start here? Wouldn't it be better to start a little earlier, starting from where Zach was still nagging.
Because, this is the request of the fallen angel who has lost his patience, to forcefully get more clues about 'soul expansion' from the fallen angel! No one is patient!
And when did those passengers have the opportunity to use 'Soul Expansion'? By the way, it’s now after Zach’s killing was forced to stop!
Walter watched numbly as each human being burst like an inflated balloon, and then dark red curses penetrated from all directions. Papa lay on the back of a republican at midnight, cursing something in Indian, and using the gun in his hand. The spell wrapped around the car, Zach, Sires, and the paralyzed John (John faced Papa Midnight in the worst situation, which was a part John deliberately omitted when narrating to Zach).
Then the world turned around. Walter and a group of people and debris had appeared at the junction of the North and South districts. Hellhounds from all directions came over and began to tear apart the scattered Earthbinders.
"Tsk!" Walter looked stunned for a moment, then immediately covered Siris with his coat, picked him up, casually lifted John, and went straight to Ixton next to him (Zach called the police).
Walter turned around unhappily, "Do it again." and disappeared.
Do you know what the 'second' that separated Walter and Zach was? It was Zach's killing.
You see, being too confident and taking it for granted is sometimes not a good thing...
