I can’t go back to Grande for the time being. Vertex 23S. Fastest update
In Mary's Church, Zach and the fallen angel Jessica sat on both sides of Madison.
"Do you know how much the Virgin Mary suffered because she was a virgin and gave birth to the Holy Son~" Jessica still kept her eyes closed in prayer, "But she still insisted on telling the truth."
Instead of praying, Zach was playing with his fingers. Perhaps because he was not used to it, he rotated the thimble on his finger back and forth.
Zach was actually quite boring. The reason why he called Jessica was that it happened at her door on the ground. Zach felt he didn't have to do it himself. Demons are good at getting information from the soul. Compared to Zach's obsessive-compulsive bad habit of not having any room for change and resolutely not using his eyes. Fallen angels have a good habit of raping their souls without saying a word.
On the other hand, Zach felt that he might need a second person's opinion for reference.
But so far, Jessica has not met Zach's expectations in any aspect. She has been quoting scriptures and telling nonsense stories about faith from beginning to end. Zach is a little tempted to let Sam give it a try.
Jessica continued, "Always telling the truth is the first gift from the Blessed Mother to the Son..."
Louise came over, glanced at the three people sitting together, and sat next to Zach, "I heard what the devil said." After confirming that Madison looked intact, "What's going on?"
"I don't know." Zach stopped playing with his fingers because he was with someone, "So I hope someone can explain it, but." He glanced at Madison, who seemed to be frozen, "This guy doesn't speak." Gaze. Fallen Angel Jessica continued to move forward, closing her eyes and praying, "This helper I found is useless."
Jessica paused in her prayer without opening her eyes, "It's my morning class time now. I changed the content of my prayer for you, to give you some respect."
Zach shrugged and looked at Louise when Jessica continued to talk about the truth, "What about you? Chatted with Daisy all night?"
Believe it or not, Zach didn't feel resentful when he asked about the incident that had caused him to wait all night. Nightlife for adults, especially for creatures like vampires, is today, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow...every day. For eternity, missing one day is nothing to regret.
Louise pursed her lips, probably thinking about how to describe Zach.
Zach gave Louise time.
spoke.
"Susan is dead."
Zach's eyebrows rose, but he quickly dropped them. Unexpected? It doesn't seem worth it. Isn't it surprising? It seems... I didn't expect this result.
All I can say is, Aisela, you move so fast.
Zach was ready to listen to what Louise had to say before deciding how to tell Louise about the threatening video tape he received in Grande and the phone call he made to Aisela.
"Daisy ran into what happened when she was looking for Susan." Louise said in a toneless tone, "Daisy has always had the worst luck among the three of us. Since she was a child, she has been pretending to be a war orphan to go to Queens. He was caught collecting relief supplies from the orphanage. He was punished for falling asleep during morning classes... We know that when he was looking for his boyfriend, he saw his boyfriend dead, and now he sees Susan."
This was a really special topic. Zach thought Louise's unlucky words would be about dead Susan. Not really. But it seems to make sense.
"Susan is the one who always has the best luck. When she laughs, people will say, 'How could such a cute girl be an orphan? How pitiful?' When she cries, people will say, 'How can such a cute girl be an orphan? How pitiful?" '." She glanced at Zach and told him that she didn't repeat herself, "Daisy cries basically all the time because she's always being punished. Me, I'm always angry."
The topic went in a more bizarre direction
"Why?" Zach asked curiously, "Angry."
Louise curled her lips, "I don't know, I don't know what to do besides being angry. I'm always in the middle. I can't cry or laugh, because they have already taken this part, and it would be too much for me to go..." Louise curled her lips. Si tilted her head, "It's too noisy." Uh, "So I always look at Susan, and then at Daisy, feeling that nothing is wrong with me, and then I start to get angry for no reason." She glanced at Zach, "I guess when I was little, I couldn't understand why I was angry, you know, the kind that really makes an orphan angry all the time. But by the time I could understand it, I've grown up. , I forgot those reasons and didn’t care.”
Zach actually didn't understand. He told Logan, didn't he? He didn't even remember his human life, let alone his childhood events.
So it seemed that he couldn't continue in the strange direction, so Zach brought back the topic, "I thought Daisy hated Susan as much as you did." Zach still remembers clearly the time when Daisy lived in Grande, Replacing the title of Susan with that bitch throughout, "Why did she go to find Susan?"
"Mother Teresa asked her to go." Louise regained her tone. "I told Teresa after I restored Susan's memory. After reporters started coming to the church to take pictures of the homeless people the day before yesterday, Teresa found someone. I called Susan when I came to volunteer, and Susan agreed, but she never came. Teresa knew I wouldn’t look for her, so she let Daisy go.”
Zach nodded. But since the topic was brought up, Zach went off topic, "Is it only the media sending people here, what about the police? 'Self-explosion case.'" It must be in quotation marks, we all know it is false.
"Didn't James tell you?" Louise was a little surprised. She glanced at Zach and rolled her eyes. "The police stayed here for a while when the media took random pictures after you left. Because of the scene at that time It was too chaotic. People from the North District Police Department arrived first, and the scene they came to had no investigation value. Then James and Coulson came, and after the handover, the scene became even more chaotic. The people from the Southern District Police Department couldn't even I can't stop the crazy media." Louise raised her eyebrows, "I thought it was live broadcast at that time, did you watch it when you got back?"
Zach really looked at it a little bit, didn't he? Then he nodded to show that he understood.
Louise shrugged, "Anyway, the scene no longer has any investigation value, so it saves trouble. After the police withdrew, the church cleaned up the scene, and the shelter also picked up the people who were going to be in front of the camera. The people sent it back... "Uh, forget it, no comment," In the afternoon, only Wes came over to ask some questions. Yesterday, no one from the police came over. There were only some reporters, taking pictures of homeless people being taken care of. . Most of the volunteers who can be photographed have been on camera. According to the reporters, this should be the news in the past few days."
Zach took the question back, "Does Daisy know why Susan was killed?"
"I don't know." Louise shook her head, "She said that when she went to find Susan, she found someone with a tight covering on the way with her." Louise also gestured, "The floors are the same. After getting out of the elevator, The direction of the two was also the same. Daisy said that the other party probably realized that the two of them were going to the same destination. When they were walking together, the other party had been observing her vigilantly and kept their position while walking together. Daisy only thought that it was, quote, Susan That bitch hired clients at home..."
Hey, if you go to the house of someone you hate, you will probably have such malicious thoughts on the way, so don't judge Daisy.
"Daisy didn't want to encounter any dirty eyes. So she pretended to be fine and walked straight past Susan's door. When she heard the stranger knocking on Susan's door, she continued to think that he was Susan's client, and with a heart full of The 'bitch-' walked to the end of the corridor and turned. Daisy was not even in the mood to listen to Susan's professional talk." Louise paused and looked at the cross on the altar, "Daisy said, 'That Bitch, you're not from our line of work."
Isn't it, uh, no. Daisy is a street girl and Susan is a high-end escort. Can it be a line...
Zach can already guess where it's going to go, and we all can, but let's just listen to it. Sometimes things are just like that. If you don't hear the end, you will always feel a sense of regret that there is no end.
"What happened next?" Zach asked.
Louise pursed her lips and said, "Daisy was smoking, waiting for the transaction at Susan's house to be completed. There was heating in the building, so Daisy went out of the corridor and smoked on the fire escape." At this time, there is no need to praise Daisy, but she still has some basic points. "She probably only had half a cigarette, and she saw that the window of Susan's apartment was opened, and someone pushed Susan's head out of the window."
Louise paused. Please allow the narrator's emotional fluctuations, please understand.
"Don't stop, continue." It was the fallen angel Jessica who finished the prayer.
Louise pursed her lips and looked over, and found that Madison was also looking here. All waiting.
Louise turned back, "Daisy said. Susan also saw Daisy smoking here, and the two looked at each other. Daisy said that at that moment, she couldn't tell the reality, and it was floating in front of her eyes. It’s the cigarette in his mouth, or Susan’s hair that is messed up and scattered outside the window.”
Louise paused again.
This time there was no urging. Everyone is a good listener.
Louise continued, "Then the person holding Susan down also appeared from behind the window. The client, who was covering her head tightly, also turned his head and saw Daisy smoking." Louise adjusted her posture, "That's when It was time for Daisy to confirm that the scene in her eyes was real. But it was too late. Most of Susan's body had been pushed into the air, and the tightly covered 'client' probably had a smaller body leaning forward outside the window, too. Not caring about continuing to look at Daisy who was smoking, one hand continued to push Susan's upper body, which had no point of strength, and the other hand pulled Susan's only leg that was still indoors at the edge of the window."
Maybe it would be a good idea not to continue listening now. No one, and I mean no one, would want to start their day with a story like this.
But Louise had already spoken very smoothly. The two pauses were enough for her to adjust her mood, and there would be no more interruptions.
"Daisy said that when Susan's entire body was suspended in the air, she confirmed that she saw Susan's body stagnant for a moment. Susan looked in the direction of Daisy and said 'run', the last word in Susan's mouth. Daisy He started to run away. The 'client' who was covering his head tightly glanced at Daisy when she ran down the fire escape and landed. But whether he continued to chase, Daisy didn't know. The only time he looked back, he saw Daisy on the fire escape. Susan, who was broken into two pieces on the edge of the trash can, made her afraid to look back again. She changed cars about six or seven times before going back to the church. Then the first thing she did was to look for me." Looking at Zach, " She didn’t know who else to turn to.”
The story is over.
If anyone else had any grievances about Louise making Zach wait last night, it's time to put it to rest now.
Zach just raised his hand and walked up to Louise. The one who spoke was the fallen angel Jessica
"Last night, the door to hell opened last night because of her." The tone of the statement was devoid of any unnecessary emotion. That's right. It was just that another person died in this world and another soul was added to hell. "Today's Bring the newspaper." He raised his eyebrows and said, "Probably there is no report, forget it, just keep an eye on the morning news and see if there is any." He was obviously giving instructions to some devil.
The fallen angel has no intention of asking about this soul in hell, but is more concerned about the human side. reason? The person who interacted with Zach died, and this matter just went away? impossible.
The other one with action, uh, is actually Madison. This guy didn't know when he had been holding a shiny square object in his right hand. After the story was told, Madison also began to put away the thing.
Zach's peripheral vision was disturbed by this flickering thing, and now he had the opportunity to ask, "What is this." He hugged Louise and turned his head towards Madison.
"Uh... no, it's nothing..." Madison dodged instinctively.
It's so ridiculous, he's sitting between vampires and fallen angels, how can he dodge.
"What is this?" Zach took it directly and used the word "grabbing" to describe it. If he looked too high, Madison would be slapped away, so he took it.
Zach frowned and looked at the buttons on this square thing. Just like the high-tech video recorder, Zach was dazzled by various symbols.
"Are you serious?" Jessica tilted her head, "That's a tape recorder. Don't you even recognize it?"
"A tape recorder?" Zach knew it, but he just didn't know how to use it. It should be said that anything that assists humans is more or less unfamiliar to vampires, mainly because they are not needed. "You recorded what Louise said."
"Uh..." There seemed to be no need to deny it, "Yeah."
"Do you want to write it down?" Zach returned the tape recorder, "Susan's death."
"Probably..." Madison seemed unsure, "It depends on you..." What is this word? Wait, "It depends on whether you can do something. If you are involved, I will definitely write it in." "
Zach pursed his lips and said, "Then write it in." He looked back at Louise, "I think I was the one who let Susan die."
It's time for an explanation. But just when Louise turned her head and looked at Zach with doubtful eyes, Zach turned back to Madison, "Madison..."
