The Record Of Barton’s Fantastical Events

Chapter 1226: 9 Gratitude and insecurity

Views:

Zach felt that he should have the highest position in Sabbat Toledo, so he did not call Allen Funeral Home to ask what the meaning of Arthur being taken away was. Vertex 23S. Fastest update

This kind of gesture requires the cooperation of the other party. If you act like a superior, then we inferiors won’t bother you with such trivial matters. Sure enough, there was no news at all from Allen Funeral Home~

It's getting dark.

"Why aren't you off work yet?" Zach was in the barn on the west side of Grande, crossing his arms and looking at Sires who was still working.

Sires was reinforcing the livestock shed. He didn't know where he got the iron sheet and wood from. He almost renovated and redone the whole place. Now, he was really lying on the roof of the shed, knocking. Sires may not be aware of it, but his eyes pull two reddish lights while his body moves.

At this time, after being reminded by Zach, he looked up blankly and looked at the night, "What time is it now?"

"Eight o'clock." Zach answered simply, blinking casually to remind Siris of his own eyes.

"Uh..." Sires rubbed his eyes, looked at the work in progress, and then looked at Zach, "I'll go back after I'm done..."

"No." Zach started pacing back and forth in front of the barn, "When you came to work in Grande, you said you were going to be the link between me and Nenad, is that right?"

"Uh... yes." Sires curled his lips, jumped down, and looked at Zach, "Do you have any real work to give to me?"

"Yes." Zach was tapping his arm with his fingers. Of course, the pacing continued, "I need Nenad to explain in detail why Hamilton took Arthur away."

"Okay." Sires had no special expression. He lowered his head and patted his stained palms twice after work, preparing to leave after get off work.

Zach's pacing did not stop, "I want Nenad's explanation." Zach was emphasizing something, "not the report of the Sabbat's actions in Barton." Confirming that Siris was listening carefully when he turned around, " Tell Nenad this and he will understand what I mean.”

I don’t know if everyone understands it, but to my surprise, Siris understands it.

"You mean that game you played... sorry, with Nenad earlier. He explained the situation, he gave his opinion, and you helped him realize what to do next to benefit the Cappadocia clan. "

Zach stopped pacing and looked at Sires in surprise, "Nenad told you such a thing?"

What was originally a warm topic for the boss to urge his employees to go home quickly turned serious.

Sires shook his head and rubbed his hands as if to soothe his muscles. "He didn't 'tell'." Emphasizing the tone, for the sake of expression, "It's what I heard. Those things you said in Kozier Interact with him while in the apartment.”

Zach opened his mouth, frowned, walked towards Siris in a reasonable manner, and said forcefully, "You heard what you heard." Please be serious, don't make Zach make a fuss there, "Nenad is here Who did you hear when you told these things?”

This is important. Zach at least thought that the relationship between him and Nenad was closed. He helped Cappadocia, and Cappadocia accepted help. The communication between these two parties does not need to be known by a third party!

Siris' legs instinctively weakened, but luckily he didn't fall down. He looked at Zach uneasily.

Zach pursed his lips and took a step back, "You tell me."

After the pressure disappeared, Sires did not feel relaxed. He looked sideways at Zach, "Ellen hates you."

WTF?

Sires saw Zach's confusion sideways and continued. It’s so typical. I’ll repeat it first, “Alan hates you. But Cappadocia can’t hate you.” Sires’ eyes drifted away for a moment, then repeated, “Cappadocia can’t hate Toledo, you. "Let's reflect on our emotions at this time, "Because you are the only ally in the Sabbat that helps Cappadocia improve its status. Therefore, Cappadocia, we cannot hate you. We must love you."

The last sentence is optional. Siris probably couldn't figure out why he said it. He shook his head and continued, "Nenad is telling Allen, why we, we Cappadocia can't hate you. So he told Allen, why are you here? I helped him when he was in Kozier’s apartment. Nenad was teaching the descendant, I heard it.”

Well, Zach should have thought of this. Now Patton’s Cappadocia is three, tsk. Sure enough, there are too many bad ideas hidden in a person's heart, and he is prone to losing his temper. We should know that Zach's original intention of helping Cappadocia was not simple. Zach helped Cappadocia just to make the Sabbat suffer.

Zach waved his hand, "Sorry. I overreacted. I thought Nenad was stupid enough to leak the conversation between us to someone like Hamilton."

The apology did not make Ceres relax more. He still looked sideways at Zach. What he said still made Zach a little confused about how to react, "I was not specifically taught by Nenad to love...not to hate you." Weird change of words.

Zach pursed his lips and said, "Thank you?" To put it simply, just think of this as Siris saying that she doesn't hate him, and don't make any further inferences.

"I don't hate you, nor do I like you. I just..." Sires frowned and looked away completely, "Thank you."

Zach didn't want to have a conversation that would lead to who knows where. To be honest, there are too many things that Siris needs from Xie Zhak, not to mention recent events, such as the past funeral disputes at the mill, late-night yard renovations, and prison escapes in heavy rain... So a simple, "You're welcome. It's time for you to get off work." , come early tomorrow..."

"No, there are some things I have to say." Cyrus was obviously a little excited, but still resisted looking at Zach. This situation is easy to misunderstand, but fortunately, his words, "When Brielle was still considering whether to accept Mokawi's, er, 'gift' and become a vampire, you were the only one who told Brielle, Once she becomes a vampire, she can’t go back.”

Not only are these words impossible to misunderstand, they also bring back memories of the past. Is that... what happened when Zach first started practicing with Bumi to deal with Eli? Do you still remember, Zach was walking well on the road, and was spotted by Briar, who asked him the question, "If I become a vampire, can I still give birth to a child for Sires?"

Zach turned his head slightly and glanced at Sires who was not looking at him. "I don't think I am the only one. He is probably the only person she asks for advice..." Zach was telling what he thought was the truth.

"No." Sires interrupted, "She asked many people." She curled her lips and said helplessly, "No one took it seriously."

Why. Zach could actually imagine the scene. Brielle was like a lunatic, asking people around to ask if she should agree to become an immortal thing... No, Brielle was just a lunatic.

Okay, don't rush, let's end this topic properly, "That's what I should do, don't take it to heart. You should really go home now, we'll see you tomorrow."

Sires nodded, "Start by being a good vampire, right?"

Zach was naturally pleased that the fingerprints he pressed were making an impact, "Yes. Goodbye."

"goodbye."

Next, Zach went straight back to Grande.

There is no need to sugarcoat anything. Among the reasons why Zach urged Sires to go home, dissatisfaction with the lack of news from Allen played a large part. The other part is James who now occupies Grande's master bedroom and went to bed early. Zach didn't want to hear the conversation between himself and James as Seres in Cappadocia.

James came back just 10 minutes ago looking drained.

'Cut James at the intersection at six o'clock on time' was Zach's advice to Coulson, wasn't it

Oh, and if anyone cares, Louise hasn't come back and her return date is unpredictable. We have to keep those wanderers alive, right

"Why don't you clean your body? You stink and pollute Louise and I's bed." There's nothing wrong with this. James probably hasn't cleaned himself since he was called out to work by Darcy last night. . We have already introduced that vampires do not have body odor, but humans do. James is human.

James was wrapped under a heavy quilt and said, "I don't have any change of clothes." He said without a tone, "It was worn."

Zach felt briefly embarrassed, "Jin wore it today. You can't be so stingy."

James didn't want to speak and shrank into the quilt.

Judging from Zach's visual inspection of the shape, James' body under the quilt was curled up. Yes, that's the kind of sleeping position that is overly interpreted as a feeling of 'insecurity'. Zach was not that bored, he knew that James just disliked the other spaces under the quilt being too cold.

So, there’s nothing to get used to. Zach pulled up the quilt, "It's not time for you to sleep yet. I'll give you the privilege once, to vent your anger now. If you delay it until tomorrow morning, I may ignore you."

This is the truth. I have just scheduled a communication with Sires tomorrow morning and will not have time to pay attention to James. Then, the things that should be solved today should be solved now.

very good. James accepted the privilege! He grabbed the cup that Zach had taken away and sat up, wrapping his body and leaning against the wall in the corner, glaring at Zach, "Did you give Coulson a bad idea to block me?!"

"Who else could it be~" Zach shrugged, unable to help but notice that James actually went to bed wearing socks. It is said that many people have this habit in winter. But in James' case, those plush socks were probably the only barrier preventing his toes from rushing over to fight Zach. The half of the foot exposed outside the quilt was twisted ridiculously in the lower half of Zach's field of vision.

"I was dragged to the Southern District Police Station! I sat across from Chief Colon! I was interrogated for more than an hour!!"

Coulson was really unambiguous~ Zach smiled, "You know I can't sympathize with you. Be conscious and tell the result. The ownership of this self-destruction."

"What ownership!" James twitched his lips irritably, "What happened in the North District can only be a case in the North District!" Then he turned his head gloomily, "But now it has become a joint investigation case between the North and South! "

Zach noticed that Nan was in front. The affiliation was already obvious. Needless to say, he said, "So soon?"

"Director Cologne called Darcy in front of me!!" James couldn't hold back and kicked the air with his plush socks. It really had no other effect except letting cold air leak into the space he was covering up.

Originally, according to Zach's previous 'habits', or rules, he always had to correct James when he called Darcy directly. It's impossible now. We know the reason, so I won't say more. I don’t know if James noticed it or not, “Well, since the southern district is the main joint investigation now, who are the investigators sent by the northern district?”

James didn't notice and said irritably, "Who else can it be? It's me and Wes in the North District, fully cooperating with the work of the Southern District Police Investigation Team." He glanced at Zach and said, "Guess who is in charge of the Southern District Investigation Team?" Who is this person?”

Zach smiled, "Coulson?"

James turned his head and said nothing.

It should. Let me ask you a question, who discovered Wes and became a police detective? It's Director Cologne.

So now James' situation is very simple. Although Wes joined this investigation team as a member of the North District Police Department, isn't he going home? Haha, the real outsider is the one who really deserves to be excluded. , there is only one James~

Zach said something that really made people unhappy: "How good~ It seems that your work has taken up time and moved to the South District, and now you have a legitimate reason to stay in Grande~ Why don't you go home tomorrow and bring more How about a few sets of clothes~"

James looked at Zach gloomily, "Get out! I want to sleep!"

"Haha, no." Zach sat down directly on the corner of the bed, "Not so early." Very 'consciously' he began to look through the files that James had placed on the bedside table, and he slowly looked through them. Anyway, someone had She felt that she couldn't drive him away, "It seems like you haven't made any progress during the whole day."

Wait a moment, Zach's principle in the morning has not changed. Regarding the topic of soul expansion that is suspected to be directed at him, he will not talk about it in Grande. Therefore, at this time, he had another direction, and he planned to ask James about it when he came back, "After Madison went to the police station to accompany Ms. West, and after I left, what did these two say?" A special conversation?"

It's a coincidence, and it just happens to explain to everyone why Zach asked this question.

The police information that Zach found was West's confession:

*I'm telling you guys that my friend features his boss. Wrote an ongoing story. It's very exotic, very fantasy, very much like the world through the eyes of a madman. It looks a lot like fake, but it's all true. Then, the man exploded... *

I've told everyone a long time ago that Zac came back with nothing, right? The reason is that Zach's purpose is very clear. He wants to know who the person who blew himself up is. However, the host of this gathering, Mr. Pixar, attaches great importance to the ritual of anonymity. He does not know, nor do the clown doctors, Vincent, and West, who are attending the gathering for the second time... nor do they. Therefore, a vampire like Zach who gathers information around relationships will get nothing.

Zach has given up, and just leave this kind of matter to the joint investigation team. What Zach cares about now is that West has maintained a consistent testimony both to him and to the police.

Just in case you don’t understand Zach’s concern, let me add one little thing. It was in the early hours of last night at the North District Police Station that Zach got the privilege of Darcy to contact all the witnesses as a civilian.

"Why am I not surprised at all that you are here~" It was West, to Zach, "I have to applaud Madison. In order to write your character, he really devoted himself to putting you in various situations. Where is plug..."

Inexplicable

Well, Zach didn't understand. In the police station, when Darcy was watching "civilians interrogating civilians" behind a mirror, Zach couldn't understand.

So now ask James. But James didn't let Zach understand either.

"I don't know!" James lay back and curled up, "Just sit there and watch me sleep!"

Based on the fact that a vampire watched him sleep here, we can interpret this curled up sleeping position as insecurity.
