When Zach returned to his seat, even Massachusetts had already left, and there were two more states in the straight line. The journey on the train was over. Vertex 23S. The fastest update. Zach didn’t come back alone.
James used two table reservation tickets to move to the republican seats for the couple, who was not sure whether they were a couple or a brother and sister, and sat across from Zach. There's another acquaintance, Wes.
Naturally, Zach can only do the introduction work, "You already know this, Detective James Lance. This Wes is also a police detective." Then he introduced Dale, "This is Dale Walker, this is This is the first employee who went to the west with me for a work exchange."
An introduction is an introduction. What Zac cares more about are the earthbinders and angels at the front of the carriage. Surprisingly they are still there. There's no more fighting, and it looks like the angel is still very weak...
"So what did you do?" said the malicious James, "to make your life so hopeless that you ended up in a bad place like Grande..."
"James!" Of course, Wes was the one who reminded his friend not to go too far.
"What! I can't express my own opinion?!"
"Leave him alone." Wes glanced at Dale and then at Zach, "He is in a bad mood. His father is undergoing surgery..."
"Shut up! No need to tell him this!!"
Zach kept smiling and said nothing. Focus on the weak angel floating over.
Wait a minute, James took Zach away for so long without talking about the reason why James was also on this train? Well. Is this the first day we met James? Let’s use our brains! During the entire time traveling across Massachusetts, Detective Barton was interrogating civilian vampires, haha, and the civilian vampires were extremely cooperative.
"Barton's vampire, Zachary Grande Toledo. I need your help." The weak angel was still extremely formal.
"It's my pleasure," Zach replied, looking at the angel, "Please tell me."
When the market opens, bet on which of the three humans here will react first. Is it Dale who has always been dissatisfied with Zach talking to the air, James who just hates Zach physically and mentally, or Wes who has always been particularly tolerant of alien things.
Take your time, give them time to react.
"I promised the stubborn Mr. Berg to fulfill his last wish to go home. Then he went to heaven." The angel was describing the help he needed, "But since we left Newton, we have been constantly attacked by demons and Cerberus harassment." As if to prove his words, Zach saw a black thing rushing into the car diagonally.
The angel still made an apologetic expression, turned into a white mass and crashed into the demon who was trying to get close to Mr. Earthbinderberg. There was a fierce black and white battle, as the passengers in the carriage became increasingly bored and the train journey continued. The angel returned to Zach weakly, "As you can see, I need your help, Zachary Grande Toledo."
"Then, I will help." Zach nodded to express his willingness to lend a helping hand. The literal helping hand Zach raised his hand, pulled up his sleeve, and touched his pocket with his other hand. The standard snack can and metal wine bottle twisted Open, empty... No need to describe the rest, everyone knows, bloodletting.
Bet quickly, the faces of the three options are starting to change. Wes, for example, moved slightly away from his seat, blocking possible views from across the corridor. James, for example, only looked gloomier. Finally, Dell, for example, looks stupid.
The wine bottle was placed on the table in front of the seat by Zach. "Do you need me to send it to you?" Zach was just being considerate. The weak angel may not have the ability to move a bottle of vampire blood.
"That's enough. Thank you, Barton's vampire, Zachary Grande Toledo."
How can I evaluate it~ Angel Crowley is worthy of being a coaching angel, and her staff is very well-educated.
This is your last chance to place a bet.
As the wine bottle on the table disappeared from the sight of the three people in the strange light and shadow, Wes was unexpectedly relieved. James' face became even worse and gloomier. Dell, oh, Dell is probably crazy!
The market is open
"What just happened?!" Dell almost jumped up from his seat, attracting unnecessary attention to this side for nothing.
Weirdly, "Humph, don't you know what happened?" came from James' gritted teeth statement, "Your boss is not the only monster here!"
"James Lance!" This was the last time Wes reminded his friend to be careful with his words.
"What! I just say what I want to say!" James' face was tsk-tsk-tsk, "Humph! What I said is still the truth!!"
Weiss took a deep breath and smiled apologetically at the glances from other passengers, "Sorry, we are friends. We didn't expect to meet like this. I was a little excited. I'm sorry."
This remark was immediately refuted. The only good thing is that the person who refuted it had the consciousness not to continue to attract attention here. "We are not friends. I have been working in Grande for less than 20 days." He lowered his voice and said, "I just I met you once!”
The meaning of these words was translated by Zach with a smile, "Dale Walker, he doesn't know anything."
Two completely different expressions appeared on the faces of James and Wes.
James was surprised, then angry, "What!!" Thank God, if anything, James knew to lower his voice, "He doesn't know anything and you took him to the Sabbat?!"
"I never said he went to the Sabbat with me. My actual words were that he went to the West with me to work." Zach tilted his head and glanced at Dale. Very satisfied, Dell lowered his head without any movement and entered quiet mode.
This is Dale Walker's best impression on Zach, isn't it? He quietly and objectively obtains information and then makes logical judgments.
Wes's face showed confusion and some subtle sighs. He glanced at the quiet Dale and said to Zach, "Why did you take him with you?"
"I didn't. He wanted to follow me." Zach shrugged, "Maybe he just saw me being ostracized in Grande and sympathized with me."
Dale's chest bulged slightly, as if he had something to say, but soon the air accumulated in his chest was expelled, and he continued to remain quiet.
Wes blocked James' mouth, pressed him on the backrest, and looked at Zach, "Does he know anything about it??" He just confirmed.
Zach answered with a nod. That's right, Zach's attention was no longer here. His own blood gave the angel an absolute advantage. Several demons that intermittently tried to invade the carriage were wiped out in the scenery outside the window without any resistance, and could not touch the carriage.
The only thing Zach was dissatisfied with was the way Angel used his own blood, which was so wasteful. Hey, maybe it’s because I’m forced to keep moving with the train. The passengers may not notice the vampire blood that turns into tiny particles and is quickly thrown behind by the moving train in the air, but Zach can see it clearly. That is your own blood, the source of life for vampires...
Wes let his eyes switch back and forth between Zach and Dale, and finally looked at James, whose mouth was still covered by him. There was still a tacit understanding between the two detectives who knew everything. Wes let go of James, and the two of them bickered together, deciding not to get involved in this kind of trouble. Only Zach can handle this kind of thing
Do you want Wes to tell Dale that your boss is not a human being, but a humanoid creature that lives forever on blood? Well.
But after all, there was one thing that James couldn't ignore, "What else is on this train?!"
Do you want a translation? good:
'Except you vampire. What other disgusting, dangerous non-human creatures are there on this moving train where countless humans have no place to hide or escape? '
Zach corrected James first, "It's this car." It was a hint to James, "Why do you reason, detective." Zach frowned, it had nothing to do with James, it was outside the window.
Angel seemed to realize its waste and began to use Zach's blood with restraint, but its advantage seemed to be gone. The number of demons, as well as the number of demons that successfully evaded the angel's unexpected crushing attack, were doubling. Zach looked slightly behind the window and could see the increasingly dense black gathering.
"I'm asking you..." It felt like James was on the verge of explosion again.
"James!" Wes held James down in advance and reluctantly gave his guess, "Could it be the person who suffered a cardiac arrest? Well, when he was in Newton?"
If Zach hadn't become more and more concerned about the dark, almost spectacular group of demons outside the window, Zach would have given Wes an appreciative smile.
"Mr. Berg?" I must give James some objective praise. At least he still remembers the name. "You mean, Earthbinder? Here? In the carriage? Tsk." James shook his head irritably. "Impossible! His body was taken over by Newton!"
"Earthbinders don't just bind to the body." How awesome is Weiss.
Zach stood up slightly, his face already pressed against the car window, and his neck was turned so that he could see whether the angel who was instantly swallowed up by the black was still alive.
The situation seemed not to be optimistic. Gold and white were squeezed into strands of light in the rolling black tide, flickering on and off. There is a sign that it will burn out at any time.
When Zach's face pressed against the car window wrinkled, James's face also wrinkled, "It's still impossible! Newton is a city of angels, and that Earthbinder couldn't live without Newton and was taken to heaven. Yeah!" Seriously, if James wasn't like this, I think he would be a very attractive guy.
"What else could that be?" Wes curled his lips, shook his head and suddenly glanced at Dale, who had been staring at him and James for some time.
Do you need to be surprised by Dell's gaze? Uh, seriously everyone, was there anything Dell could understand about the conversation between Wes and James just now
Wes didn't want to face the stares. He pursed his lips again and spoke to Dale, "Don't look at me like this, I won't explain anything to you, and we can't explain it. You have Zach, you ask him, he knows this kind of thing better than us." Wei. Si Ye is great~objective, reasonable and reasonable~
Dale accepted Wes's sound suggestion, and turned to look at Zach, who was completely facing the window. He opened his mouth, but the words could not come out.
This time, the quietness Dell always relied on to receive information and make judgments could not help him understand the situation at this time, because
It should be the image of the same height and clothes as Zach in the window that reflects Zach's appearance. Definitely not the Grand boss he knew.
That pale face is wrinkled ferociously; those eyes that should be white, green, and black are only red; those corners of the mouth that are only pulled occasionally when smiling are completely widened; those sharp teeth that remind people of toothpaste advertisements every time they see it To thrust out; that...
Zach adjusted his clothes and sat back in his seat.
It seemed that Dale was not the only one who saw the image in the window just now.
"What are you doing?" The lower part of Zach's face, which we are familiar with, slightly pulled at the corner of his mouth, showing impatience, "I want to save it. Angels are a very rare species in the Federation. There cannot be one less." He waved his hand, forget it, he is too lazy. explain.
A shabby white color as thin as a plastic bag floated in front of Zach, "Thank you. Barton's vampire, Zachary Grande Toledo, you saved me."
Zach tilted his head slightly, "You're welcome, that's right."
"No, this is not your obligation. You have already helped me. Giving your blood is proof that you have fulfilled your faith. You don't need to reveal to me that you have a powerful second-generation vampire. On this train from Patton.”
Don't imitate those three idiots and listen to this conversation carefully!
"It doesn't matter, it will be exposed sooner or later." Zach waved his hand, "Barton's Toledo has left Barton. It's just a matter of time."
"But in order to save me, this process was accelerated. When you unlocked the blood-controlling sensory shield and released the vampire's absolute suppression of the alien souls, at that moment, I could feel the excitement juxtaposed with fear in the soul marks of those demons. . This will definitely bring unnecessary trouble to you and Barton." It seems that this angel is very persistent in asking Zach to accept its thanks. Or, an apology might be more accurate.
"We'll wait and see." Zach, on the other hand, was not ready to accept this, whether it was a thank you or an apology. reason? The emotion of guilt is very special, isn’t it? We can't let this angel feel at ease so easily! Is not it. Zach shows his most vampiric... ugliness in a train that doesn't touch the ground, and someone has to take responsibility!
The angel was quiet for a moment and then spoke, "Can I ask you to do me one more thing?"
Hehe, are you still asking Zach for help? Don't worry, go down
After Zach gave the 'please' gesture, the angel said its request, "Mr. Berg's home is in xx city, which is the next state. Please protect him from Mr. Vampire to reach xx city safely and not to be dragged by the devil." Go to hell." Well, this angel is still keeping his promise to the Earthbinder. It's really fake... Forget it, no judgment, "I will return to Newton now and inform Crowley to start preparing to deal with any threats that Barton may encounter."
Guilt has obviously played a role, but this is not a satisfactory result for Zach, "Can't you inform her here."
"I just did this." Remember, it's similar to the devil's communication method, "But Crowley needs proof, proof of my soul mark." The angel's tone was already full of guilt for Zach, "Crowley Said you can be very persuasive sometimes, if this is what trick you used to trick the angels into tying Newton's fate to Barton, just like Richie the Phantom Man, you made him force us to do what the Sabbat did Transaction (about Richie’s proposal to use products from Newton’s local factory to fill the trade vacancy in Barton to prevent population loss. Zack’s suggestion to Richie after thinking about the fact that the Sabbat was collecting laborers). This time, I can’t let you succeed so easily.”
Well. Zach doesn’t want to continue this topic. Why is it that every time Zach does something good, it is misinterpreted by these guys? Are our vampires really so bad in character? It doesn’t matter, Zach is used to it, “I will protect Mr. Berg.”
"You are a respectable vampire." The angel left.
