When Mike came to Grande, Zach was actually on the phone with Quinn Manor. Vertex 23S. Fastest update
"The next time Eli contacts him, I want you to ask him something." Zach motioned for Mike to sit wherever he wanted and continued to explain to the guy on the other side of the receiver, "Has he taught anyone his blood control skills?"
The guy on the other side of the receiver barked.
Zach knew he heard, "When are you going to come back?"
Another bark.
"I don't understand." Zach pouted.
It's hung over there.
Zach shook his head and hung up the phone, putting a smile on his face, "Welcome back, Mike, you look a lot haggard."
Mike was really emaciated and looked like he was malnourished. Of course, this does not represent what happened to Devil Mike. It can only mean that he was relatively neglectful of meeting the needs of his container during his time in Newton.
"Yeah." Mike drooped his head, "I'm glad I'm back." It should be true, although weak.
"Have you had a good time in Newton?"
"No. I don't know how the original Newton demon managed the city. I can't control Newton's hellhound." Mike glanced at Zach and wrinkled his face, "Maybe it's because I'm too low-level."
Remember the Cerberus fight we saw a few times
Zach was naturally comforting, "Now it's Leon's problem."
"Well, his question." Mike nodded, "What are you doing?"
As soon as this question came up, I was determined to ink in Grande for a while. Mike should know that Mary's Church is still waiting for him, but he doesn't want to go so quickly, and who can do anything to him.
"Oh, you heard that Madison was attacked by an alien in Mary's Church today. I'm looking for who the attacker was."
Mike looked at Zach with a hesitant look on his face, "I know who that person is. Leon shared the soul mark information he got from Madison." This means that as long as Zach asks, he will tell.
Zach smiled and shook his head, "No, I can find it myself."
"Why?" Mike tilted his head, "Just because Madison doesn't want to tell you? I also know why Madison doesn't want to tell you. It's not a good reason."
"Yes." Zach smiled and waved his hand, "No good reason is also a reason." Zach glanced in the direction of the master bedroom, where Madison was resting, "He didn't want me to know that he was the source of the matter, then I respect his decision."
"You respect him and won't let him write your image in a bright light." Mike frowned, "He didn't write your story out of 'love for you.'" Well, this topic started to get weird. The direction went, "He didn't like the characters he wrote, especially his protagonist, you."
Zach raised his eyebrows, "How many things did Leon get from Madison's soul mark?"
"Everything." Mike answered, "He has wanted to do this for a long time, and Jessica gave him a reason, so he is very thorough. Every dark little secret of Madison has been discovered by soul searching."
"Okay. Most of the stories in this world are tragedies, and Madison can't be the only author who hates his own characters." Zach was so big-hearted that he could only say, "I don't blame him."
"You really don't want to know?" Mike looked at Zach, "That person definitely has a relationship with you. A very important relationship."
"Of course it has something to do with it, otherwise you wouldn't have run away after seeing me." Zach smiled, "Don't worry, I already have a clue." Zach pointed at the receiver he just put down.
Mike probably recalled Zach's phone call just now, controlling blood. He pursed his lips and said nothing.
At this time, just analyze psychology. As we know about Mike, he is a devil with a strange attitude. He is very close to Zach regardless of the moment or situation. Therefore, if he wants to tell Zach the identity of the man who attacked Madison, he will even tell Zach that Madison, the author hates it. Zack.
So as long as he stops speaking out to stop Zach's so-called clues, it means, haha, Zach's clues are in the right direction.
"You know you are going back to Mary's Church this time to help Jessica negotiate with the banshee in hell, right?" Zach wants to help Mike? It's not that bad, vampires can't control the affairs of hell. Zach actually wanted to inquire about something, "I, um, I'm really curious about the banshee in hell." Just think of it as asking for Maya.
Mike was silent for a moment, thinking, and then, "Sam, are you there?"
Zach took out the thimble and placed it on the table. Don't ask Mike how he knew, he just said that Leon shared the information in Madison's soul mark!
“Do you remember the theft of cremation fuel from Barton Funeral Home?”
No need for Zach, Sam replied, "Remember, Papa assisted the republican god Pucci to do it at midnight." Do you remember the 'broken bones and ashes'~
"The mill has also been stolen." Mike looked at the thimble on the table. "In the information in Madison's soul mark, there is a plot where you helped investigate the theft of the mill."
"Is there any?" Sam asked, but immediately, "Oh, I remembered it. Madison said that the protection of the mill was made by Leon, so I used John's semi-finished props to restore the items stolen by Leon in the mill. What did I see when I was there?" The words were said to Zach, "Do you remember, I restored the scene, Leon was tied to a clock dial and rotated."
"I remember." Zach shrugged, "I still remember being very disappointed with you at that time." This is the truth. You can know it if you think about it. At that time, Zach didn't trust Sam very much. . I wanted to see what Sam was capable of, but it turned out that Sam didn't make any contribution to Zach.
Mike didn't let Zach and Sam chat. "You succeeded, Sam, you recreated what Leon went through when the mill was stolen." Mike hesitated, "That clock dial is hell. Leon Banished back to hell during the time the mill was stolen.”
Without letting the surprise on Zach's face turn into a question, Mike waved his hand and said, "You should read Madison's book about Seth's experience of returning from hell to the middle. There is a detailed description of hell."
Zach stopped asking, took out a note and wrote it down. Not for himself, Zach wouldn't wonder what hell looks like, but for Sam.
Mike continued, "That was Leon, the first time he was expelled from someone outside the Holy Lord's faith. It was done by Papa Midnight who helped that Republic God. And then there was Ms. West's cat."
Maybe Mike's words were too ambiguous. Zach frowned, "Is that black cat an existence outside the Holy Lord's faith?"
"I didn't say that." Mike shook his head, "I just said that Leon was expelled for no reason. This is the second time that Leon has experienced it."
Zach stopped interrupting and motioned for Mike to continue, "Leon didn't remember the first time. It was the whole story that Madison later wrote. Only then did Leon realize that he had been expelled by the god of witchcraft belief, which caused the mill to last for more than a month. The loss. The second time, Leon knew very well what he had encountered. The last time he was petting the cat in Grandry, the next moment, he had returned to hell." Mike also frowned deliberately, "It's not a fallen angel. Territory.”
Zach felt like he was about to hear the story of a demon coming home.
"Leon is very smart. He knew that he could not survive for too long in a non-fallen angel territory, so he began to spread the information that Papa had expelled him at midnight. If the fallen angels are unlucky in settling down, the other forces in hell will be happy. Especially in Leon began to tell those demons the story of how Papa and the God of the Republic mixed together to burn sinners at midnight. In hell, the two things that demons care about most in this world are the fallen angels and the Republic."
The former requires no explanation, while the latter
"If the Republic of Heaven does not return to the Federation for one day, the gate of hell will remain open for another day, and the demons in hell will still have the opportunity to return to the living world and obtain special methods for demon advancement."
Have you contacted Father Constantine who called Zach on Monday and told him that he wanted to return to his hometown? Homesick? Well, I'm afraid I can't survive anymore and need protection. Can Barton protect him with his current appearance? Why.
"Relying on stories, Leon survived. But Leon's purpose is not to survive. His story has to be told for a moment. He understands too well that once he loses the value of giving information, the devil will not keep him, and the fallen angels and The relationship with other demons has become so bad that hostages are meaningless. He must die..."
"Wait a minute, why?" Zach asked. Zach still remembered that the fallen angels completed a deal with outside demons because of their trip to the Republic.
"Because Jessica gave Newton to the Angels. Although there is only one city, Angel Crowley is the coach of the Angels, and the number of Angels recovered very quickly." Mike lowered his head, blaming himself with mixed emotions, "I can't control Newtown. Dun's hellhound." Does this mean that because it can't control the hellhound, heaven has accepted many souls that should have gone to hell? I guess so.
He raised his head and continued, "Do you still remember that there was a time when Jessica returned to hell and disappeared for a long time?"
"Remember." Zach certainly remembered that Jessica's disappearance at that time still caused Zach a little trouble. Many things that could be done with Jessica were put on hold.
"That was after Leon was expelled by Papa Midnight. That time Leon was not thrown into hell like the black cat this time. Papa expelled Leon at midnight and brought Leon back. Jessica was worried about witchcraft beliefs Having obtained some method of accurately controlling the Gate of Hell, Jessica, who has already signed a deal with the Saints to permanently open the Gate of Hell in Barton, does not want the deal regarding her faith to be used by the pagans."
This situation was a bit serious, and Zach could only temporarily deflect the question, "Did Jessica find anything?"
Mike shook his head, "I don't know. Only Jessica knows what Madison didn't write. But what I want to say is that the last time Jessica returned to hell, the relationship between the fallen angels and other demons became bad again. She returned Going to hell is an opportunity for the devils in hell to obtain the devil’s advancement method, but Jessica didn’t give anyone a chance.”
Enough of the evil intentions of the demons in hell towards the fallen angels. If Leon wants to go home, he'd better have a perfect plan.
"Leon can only delay for time. On the one hand, he hopes that someone from the Fallen Angels will find out that he is leaking Barton's secrets everywhere. On the other hand, he hopes that the Banshee will be attracted by Papa's midnight news."
This was far from the perfect plan, but it was obviously successful.
"The demons on the fallen angel side should never have left the five-minute time zone they control, but the Banshee found Leon."
The story is almost over, so Zach wants to summarize, "Leon persuaded the Banshee to go to the time zone controlled by the fallen angels, which corresponds to Barton in the present world. The Banshee opened the way, and he followed, successfully returning to Barton."
Mike nodded.
Sam's tone was a bit special, "Can the goddess of witchcraft belief have such unimpeded access to hell?" The goddess, uh, forget it, she is Papa Midnight's sister after all.
"No." Mike shook his head, "It has nothing to do with Chang Tong. Wherever she appears, it will be hell within hell. Everyone should hate her."
Only then came what Zach really wanted to ask, "Why."
"Death reappears. When heaven still controlled the gates of hell, most of the souls in hell, undead or demons, belonged to time zones that were not the human cities now assigned by the demons themselves. They were judged strictly according to their beliefs. It’s time for the Earthbinder to arrive.”
Zach nodded. The Holy Lord's faith is still worthy of respect. Although it has been identified as opening the door to steal souls from this world, this door is not opened randomly.
"So for most souls in hell, the time zone they are in is the moment when their lives change. In other words, it is very close to the moment when those souls die from humans and become earthbound spirits."
Zach had some opinions, "The process from the Earthbinder to the Undead in Hell is not counted in the death of the Banshee."
It was Sam who answered, with a somewhat unhappy tone, "Just like the Holy Lord Faith says that our witchcraft belief is pagan, why should our goddess care about the Faith Judgment of the Holy Lord Faith? It's a cult that steals things." ceremony."
Mike nodded, eh, this guy actually has no intention of defending his beliefs, "That's it. The Banshee is not powerful, but she can see death in that time zone, and then she will shout it, over and over again, and again She reminds those souls who have been in hell for who knows how long how they died. She will repeat, repeat, and repeat in a very specific way the feeling of death that has long been forgotten because of the loss of the body, which was once experienced by people. Every touch of death, over and over and over again..."
Zack and Sam were quiet.
There are no words to describe it. It sounds like the banshee is a very annoying thing...
Well, there's no way Sam could ask that, so, Zach, "Why don't the demons kill the Banshee."
"we can not."
"Why?"
"Can't be killed. Even if every soul mark of hers is crushed, she will be reborn and become even worse. Legend has it that in order to take revenge on a demon lord, she traveled across countless time zones, looking for the demon's death, and then told him in his ears Called for a century.”
"Okay, well done... my goddess..." Sam.
Zach stood up and patted Mike, "When you go back, you're going to see the Banshee. Are you nervous?" Zach said.
"Nervous." Looking at Zach, "Can I not go?"
"I can't decide this." Nuan was just to cover up his inaction.
Mike sighed and lowered his head, "I know." After saying that, he stood up and said, "I'm going." Like a martyr.
Zach deliberately continued to send it off, but the phone rang.
"Zachary Grande!! You bastard!!"
In order not to let everyone misunderstand. It was Mr. Herman "You promised me!! Kill Ethela!! You shameless liar!!"
This... what's going on. Oh, right. Before Mr. Pickles left Barton, didn't he have a letter to send to Herman? It seems that Herman received it.
