Grande finally calmed down, and the police from the South District had withdrawn, including James and his gang of detectives. Vertex 23S. The person left behind the fastest is Chapman, the North District police officer. Well, Darcy realized it and sent Chapman, a guy who also knew what Zach was. But he's not the only one.
Strange cars stopped in the four directions of Grande. "This is the only arrangement Director Darcy can make." Chapman drank the hot coffee delivered by Charlie. "Director Cologne is very insistent. If it weren't for Darcy, In the end, the director directly stated that Grande is a gray professional, and completely personal protection will only make you lose your value as an informant. Director Cologne will even apply for the use of a safe house."
Safe house, isn't this the kind of last resort measure used to protect key witnesses...
Zach had no expression, "Colon is just testing how far Darcy will use police resources for me."
Chapman was stunned for a moment and lowered his head to sip his coffee. It's better not to ask about things that shouldn't be investigated.
It's good. Zach didn't say this to Chapman, but to Louise.
As someone who rushed back after being notified of Grande's accident halfway, Louise didn't know what was going on. And Zach is now helping Louise catch up.
Louise frowned, "So now Cologne thinks you are James's... uh, a subordinate of the Lance family?"
"Well, there's nothing wrong with that. James is the key to the Sabbat's plan in Barton." The key is that Darcy wants to kill him in the simulated world. "Everyone in the Sabbat in Barton can be said to be here for Serve James. Serving James is equivalent to serving the Lance family."
"Uh, forget it." Louise curled her lips and glanced at Zach, feeling aggrieved for Zach, "That's good. Director Cologne is at least in the right direction. Then, over at Allen Funeral Home, Hamilton and Did Zmich come over and explain?"
"No." Zach shook his head. Zach knew that the explanation Louise said was not about Arthur, "I don't need it anymore." He glanced at Louise, "There are only two situations now. One, the Sabbat is related to soul expansion, and the other is that the Devil The banquet has nothing to do with soul expansion. For the former, he doesn't need to explain, he can just wait for me to kill him. For the latter, they can't explain it."
Louise didn't want to hear Zach say anything related to 'killing' now. "I think it's the latter. Darcy still sent Chapman over. If those Zmich who attacked us are from the Sabbat, they are also from the Sabbat." Darcy from the Sabbat should be hiding now."
Zach nodded, but did not fully agree, "Maybe, but not entirely sure. Darcy is just a slave of the Sabbat, and he doesn't know that certain things are possible."
"What about Oz?" Louise was just speculating reasonably, "If Darcy's status is not enough, Ozzie Kozier is definitely enough. We should contact him."
"No." Zach shook his head, "Contacting Oz now will only make things difficult for him."
"Uh, why?" As soon as she asked, Louise understood and waved her hand, "Contacting him is obviously exposed. Between Hamilton and Oz, Grande trusts Oz more. Uh, what do we do now? manage?"
Zach smiled and glanced at the living area opposite Grande, where Old Hank was discussing something with a group of new employees. One of them wasn't paying much attention, Logan.
Zach looked at Louise, "You should continue to go to Mary's Church to help."
"No!" Louise refused very simply, but it was of no use.
"I'm going." Zach said with a slight smile, "I'm going to Allen Funeral to find Hamilton. It's not a confrontation, it's not looking for trouble." Zach pointed to the corner of the back porch where there was nothing. "Bumi, follow me and compete." It's useful for you to follow me. So I need everyone to act normally and give me room to fully develop."
Louise glanced sideways and saw nothing, "Do you have a plan?" She could only be so sure.
"I do." Zach nodded, "Then, this time when you go to Mary's Church, you take someone with you."
"Uh, who?"
"Logan." Zach glanced at the absent-minded guy in Old Hank's group again, and then looked at Charlie, "Do you want Russell to come with you?"
Charlie hesitated and nodded.
Zach's eyes answered Louise, and Louise pursed her lips, stood up and left.
Zach didn't take action immediately, but looked at the small commotion caused by Old Hank when Louise called someone.
"What are you doing! I'm explaining things to them!" Old Hank.
"Is it Sam's funeral?" Louise asked. A little cold.
"Uh! No..." Old Hank twitched.
"Then it's not an important thing. Logan, Russell, follow me." Louise had already thrown the car keys to Russell, because Logan followed immediately, and Russell still looked confused. This is forcing a dazed person to act.
Zach didn't look quietly, and suddenly turned to Charlie, "Can you react as quickly as Louise?"
"ah?"
Zach showed no signs of impatience, "Louis made it impossible for Old Hank to respond with just one sentence, can you?"
"I, I can't."
"It's okay, we will find your talent." Zach shrugged. This is a test. If Charlie is really a positive person, he should do it now
"Yes! We will!"
Zach nodded. Finally figured out a little bit about Charlie's path. That kind of blind positivity probably refers to this kind of person.
The commotion on Old Hank's side wasn't over yet.
Bain suddenly emerged from the crowd, "Miss Louise, I can help too!"
No one expected this situation, and Louise looked in Zach's direction.
Zach, looking at Old Hank's trembling face, shook his head.
"Thank you, but no, you can stay here and listen to Old Hank's command." Louise left.
Zach did not stay where he was, giving Bain the opportunity to turn his attention here. He gestured to Bumi in the corner and said to Charlie, "You stay in Grande and discuss it with Matthew and Leon." Sam's funeral. If Bane wants to join, ask Old Hank for permission. No matter what Old Hank decides, say no."
"Okay!" Charlie nodded frequently, then became demented, "Say no? Old Hank doesn't allow you to say no, and you can say no even if you allow him?"
What does "right~" mean? Just like what Louise did just now, just try to get rid of old Hank. Anyway, Charlie can't influence Old Hank's decision. As long as Old Hank's decision is made unhappy, the goal will be achieved. This is a free country, you can poke me in the spine and I can poke you back.
After explaining this, Zach looked at Chapman who was following him and said directly, "Can you tell those people not to follow me?"
"Okay." Chapman nodded, "But I have to follow you. If you want to find Hamilton, Director Darcy will need the person who relays the entire situation, me."
"You, I don't mind." Zach smiled, but Chapman would change the focus. Rather than relaying it to Darcy, Chapman clearly relayed it to the fallen angel.
With nothing more to explain, Zach patted his chest to confirm that Sam was in his pocket. This felt really strange. There's someone in the pocket, well, it's hard to imagine.
Zach drove the car, and as soon as it started, Bumi appeared in the back seat. Ignore Bumi for now and talk about the car.
Remember, last time Zach drove to Allen's funeral to take Chris home, and then the first bus on Route 27 happened. The car has only been repaired for a few days, and I don't know if something weird will happen again.
Driving out of Grande and passing a strange car parked on the side of the road on the dirt road, Zach nodded to the other person in a gesture of gesture. After Chapman leaned his body for a while, Zach went on his way smoothly.
Passing by the door of Pochiquin's house, he nodded to Mu En, who was folding his arms on the front porch and looking worried. Just drive away.
The crossing of Route 27 was also very normal and short, nothing happened.
"You haven't asked me why I came to Grande," Bumi said.
Zach didn't mind some chatting and distraction during the trip, "I can roughly guess."
"Oh, guess what."
"You think it's a waste of time to continue staying with the 'General', right?" Zach smiled, "Although the 'General' leads the majority of the Toledo bloodline, I don't seem to recognize him as a member of the Toledo clan. Part of it. 'General' has no effect on the friendship between Nophele and Toledo, so you are wasting your time."
Instead of laughing with Zach, Bumi leaned on the back of the front seat and put his hood on Zach's side. "You guessed it right. After you left early in the morning, the more I thought about your attitude towards 'General', the more I thought about it." Something’s wrong, I wanted to come to you and ask, but, uh, that Tam beat me to it.”
It doesn't make any sense to say it was an accident. This guy was actually there when Tam and Zach were chatting. It was a great relief for Nofeile to stand on Zach's side.
Zach went one step further, "You wouldn't follow me when I was at the Southern District Police Station."
"No, I didn't know you would be so ink, so I went directly to Grande. I saw Tam taking Jonathan to wait for you there. I felt that the things we wanted to find you were somewhat intertwined, so we simply hid them."
This surprised Zach, "If it weren't for Zmich's attack, wouldn't you be planning to show up?"
"Of course!" Bumi said matter-of-factly, "I'm still hesitating whether to go back to Dora to discuss it first. After all, you asked me to follow the General. You must have a reason. If Dora can explain it, I won't come to you. So as not to look stupid." Should I say that Bumi's self-positioning is too accurate or very accurate... "I didn't know that your employee (Logan) was quite interesting, so I stayed for a while~"
"I should thank the Holy Lord for staying a little longer." Zach still smiled, "Speaking of which, how did you find out that they were preparing to attack Grande?"
Bumi sat back in the back seat, folding her arms and lowering her head.
Zach had an ominous premonition, "Bumi? Don't tell me they didn't want to attack. You just instinctively wanted to attack when you found Zmich, and you gave me the signal by the way."
If that’s the case, that’s hilarious…
"You can't blame me! The eight people from the Sabbat haven't contacted us yet! As far as I know, they will expel wizards, my allies, in the future! So no matter what your status is in the Sabbat, the Sabbat vampire is still me Enemies! If they are no longer allowed to stay at the Allen Funeral Home arranged by you, they will be the ones I want to eliminate!"
Well.
"They're not contacting you because they can't find you. Revero (three of the eight) can't track you." Maybe this topic isn't a good distraction at all, "and Sibella Didn't Dora tell you that the Sabbat just wants to maintain Barton's situation now? You can't just attack the guys you think are enemies." Zach was a little helpless, "I'm still among each of you, Leave these matters to me. But you, do you really think that I arranged those eight people to the Allen Funeral Home and they can only stay there? They are not my prisoners, they are still the Sabbat's men. "
Bumi was quibbling, "Yeah, I'll leave it to you. The three Zmichs have all walked into the range of your Grande and you haven't reacted yet. When the time comes, they stand in front of you and you go and solve it? Tsk, they don't even look at it." You!" Only people who know each other well enough can say it so straightforwardly. But Zach also mentioned another thing, didn't he? Bumi also responded, "I don't understand why you put them in Allen's funeral. You could just kill them! Anyway, the Sabbat also gave you this power." Isn't it? Why don't you just kill him?"
"I'm not the only one in Grandry, I can always find a way to deal with it." Zach curled his lips and answered the previous content first, and then, "Kill those eight? Then there may not be three that appear today. It's Zimixi whose identity is unknown, but a large number of vampire groups legitimately sent by the Sabbat to Barton. So what are we going to do then? From the front? Anyway, according to your theory, we are the enemy after all, right? Then let us destroy Barton now. Do you want to start a war with everything? Let me count for you. We have a bunch of inferior aliens hiding among humans, a bunch of third-rate wizards, a bunch of demons who can't do anything in the battle, and 80% of them will just stand by. Saints watching a show. What happens next? The rest of your tribe and I fight against the Sabbat."
"Tsk." It's obvious who has the advantage, but admitting defeat doesn't seem to be a consideration. "I believe you can always find a way to deal with it when the time comes." What a good person who responds in his own way...
Zach applied the brakes to the floor.
Nothing happened to Zach and Bumi, and they were sitting in their seats safe and sound. Chapman, on the other hand, covered his broken head with one hand and pressed his ribs, which seemed to have been segmented by the seat belt, with the other hand.
Before he could moan, Zach had already poked Chapman on the neck, rolled down the window, and tilted his head, "Hi, Benjamin."
Benjamin glanced out of the car window and said, "Hi Bumi, hey Chapman." Finally his eyes fell on Zach, "Hi, you look like you're fine."
"Should anything happen to me?" Zach asked, meaningless, just thinking. The person in front of me, so close once, is now just as far away. Benjamin, do you know that after you left, Old Hank began to prepare for a future where Zach left
I didn't mean to mean anything, but that's what it is.
"Tam said that when he was walking halfway, he noticed something moving on Grande's side. He went back and took a look. You were attacked by Zmich."
Zach was stunned for a moment, then looked at the time, "That was 4 hours ago." Do you think the police are very efficient? I just don't want to mention it. Allow Zach to be a little emotional, "But, thank you for your concern."
"Well." Benjamin leaned against the car window and glanced in the direction of the car, "Are you going to the Allen Funeral Home? Looking for Zmich?"
"Hamilton, there are some things that need to be made clear." That's the attitude of Zach, telling you the facts without any intention of explaining.
"Oh." Benjamin moved away from the car window and raised his arms, "Go. Just go to Hamilton, not to Zmich."
Although Zach had already restarted, he still asked, "What do you mean?"
"I just killed those two Zmichs."
