"I'm back!"
There was almost no clothing left on Zach's body. He stood in the center of the Grand Gate with his arms spread out, pushing the door open, and with his back to the light, like the Holy Son crucified on the cross. Vertex 23S. Fastest update
The calves were lifted up and the pants were pulled up; the arms were pulled back and forth from left to right, and shirts and jackets were put on; while the collar was adjusted, a hat covered Zach's flamboyant hair. Click, a pair of shoes were placed in front of Zach, Louise pushed Zach's back, "One step."
Zach was obedient, taking one step and stepping his feet into the shoes. Perfect.
"Did you hear me?" Zach looked at Louise with joy in returning.
"Of course, I heard you running from a kilometer away~" Finally, he stretched Zach's sleeves and tilted his head, "Why are you running?"
"Ha." Zach seemed to be in a very good mood. Louise, who looked exactly like the pocket of his coat, had already put a snack can in it. As he walked into the house and ate, he replied, "After disembarking in the east, I was discovered by the devil~" It seems that Zach's return route was the same as when he went to the west, intentionally skipping the sad middle part, "They were all like rabbits in heat, desperately throwing themselves at me~"
Louise couldn't like this metaphor and followed Zach helplessly, "I don't think a rabbit in heat will 'throw itself into arms'." It's 'ride'.
"Same~" Zach had no intention of changing his metaphor, "I'm not a rabbit~" he winked at Louise, "So I point one finger at a time, and sometimes I use my toes~" This was completely joking. , "As much as you come, I 'refuse' as much..."
"Kill." Thimble interjected, "Kill as much as you want, I made sure he didn't waste a drop of blood~" It seemed that the wizard was also in a good mood.
Louise was stunned for a moment, then slapped Zach on the back, "You are being hunted! Why did you notify us!"
Zach wiped away the accidentally spilled food and looked at Louise with an innocent face, "I am being chased by demons, demons, alien souls. So..." Is it necessary...
Louise curled her lips and looked at the snack can in Zach's hand that was almost bottomed out. The discomfort on her face did not lessen. She casually handed her thermos cup to Zach. Zach's food reserve was a wine bottle. Louise It was a thermos cup, remember, "So you ran all the way back to Barton from the east?"
"Yeah~" Zach held the thermos cup, how warm it was~ "I feel like I have never been so free to move~" he turned the thimble on his finger, "With Sam, the kind of person who wants to escape with possession Devils, all..." Zach shut up for the time being, because Old Hank walked by on crutches without even looking at Zach.
"What's wrong with Old Hank?" Zach asked quietly as he watched Old Hank walk out.
"Nothing." Louise waved her hand, "I'm on the field."
"Field service?" Zach and Louise sat behind the counter together.
"Well, he didn't want me to go see the client, so he went alone." Louise shrugged, handed Zach a copy of "Urban Legends", and opened one herself.
"Oh~" Zach raised his eyebrows in a funny tone, "He won't let you participate in the funeral business?"
"That's right~" Louise also smiled, the kind of smile that didn't care, "Morticians in the west always call for consultation during this period, asking for 'Mr. Grande's girlfriend' by name~" Louise made a gesture to show off herself, "Old Hank is probably stimulated, so he will take care of the business by himself, and then he will not send anyone out." Grande's employees, to be specific, Old Hank's employees Employees, hehe, everyone knows, "Just go by yourself~"
Zach seemed to have a lot of questions, "Consultation? Isn't the information I brought detailed enough?" Zach also felt that his gifts tailored to local conditions were very considerate.
"Details~" Louise smiled and soothed Zach's sensitive little heart, "Can you blame those guys in the West for wanting to increase their presence~ Did you know that a ghoul in Vega City suddenly called on the phone one time? Li told me that you never called him by his name from beginning to end, and he felt that you didn’t even look at the business card he gave you~"
Ah~ I see, passers-by are trying to show their presence~
Zach smiled knowingly and returned to Old Hank's situation, "Old Hank is injured?"
"Yeah." Louise put down the smile on her face, "When Matthew moved out, several employees were led by Evan to rob the warehouse bedroom." She glanced at Zach helplessly, "After all, according to Gran In the original model, the employees who lived there were the highest-status people in Grande.”
Zach also stopped smiling, "Did they hurt old Hank?"
"Not really." Louise shook her head, "Old Hank hurt himself." Louise frowned, "A group of people were there to see who could reach the dagger stuck in the ceiling. Old Hank went up. Then it fell off.”
After listening, Zach also frowned. The two vampires frowned and looked at each other, and then made a speechless expression together. It's not easy for old Hank either, hey.
"So who lives in the warehouse now."
"No one." Louise read back the magazine, "It's so cold, who would want to live there. It's just that those people are boring." Oh, unexpected reality.
"Old Hank's injury..." Zach shook his head, too lazy to say anything. We should remember how clearly Hank Sr. made it clear at the beginning of this story that he disdained the use of vampire blood. Zach flipped through the magazine in his hand and didn't see Madison's article. The topic continued in the warehouse, "It's about time to find an opportunity to return Jessica's wings to her. Put away the dagger as well."
"Are you thinking about the new fallen angel?" Louise asked.
"Yes. Although he was very weak when Sibera and I found him, he seemed to be no worse than Jessica in rank."
"When you said that, I noticed..." Louise put down the magazine in her hand, as if she was thinking about something, and spoke very slowly, "During this time, Barton's hellhounds are very, well, fascinated. How many times?" At every funeral, we saw Cerberus running back and forth around the Earthbinder, not knowing what to do. It couldn't be that Jessica's power was 'robbed' away by the fallen angel."
Zach looked very interested in that scene, but he said, "Robbing, that's not it. Aren't the fallen angels all in the same camp? I just guessed that within a city and a period of time under the control of Hell's Gate, there were With two holders, things will definitely be a bit, well, troublesome."
"You may be right." Louise pursed her lips, "Mike over at Holy Child Church hasn't been showing up for a while. I think Jessica needs to get her power back." After that, take a look. Zach, look at the phone again.
"Don't bother~" Zach put down the magazine that was of little interest anyway, stood up directly, pushed the door open and walked into the back porch, stepped into the backyard, and walked towards the warehouse.
The few employees who were sweeping the floor suddenly became quiet from the noisy situation just now, and watched Zach walk between them. Until Louise leaned against the pillars of the back porch and said, "The boss is back~woohoo~~"
"Woo, woo." scattered.
Zach looked very serious like a boss and said, "Get to work." He entered the warehouse.
Just two seconds later, the dagger in his hand came out again.
"Watch what I'm doing, working." Zach continued with a serious look on his face, walking out of the way between them back to the back porch, and leaning against the pillars with Louise, looking at the sky.
A group of employees who were still reacting to the return of their boss also looked at the sky and saw that there was nothing in the sky.
However, the two people on the back porch seemed to see something, and their sight lines had a clear trajectory, from south to north. Over the eaves of the back porch, Zach and Louise stopped looking at the sky, returned to the showroom together, and closed the door.
Neither of them spoke immediately
"*! He's back! Why is he back?!"
"Where's Dale?"
"Tsk! No matter what Dale does, he is not one of ours anyway!"
…
Louise spoke, unable to hide her smile, "I think you scared them~"
"They deserve it~" Zack didn't control his emotions. The dagger in his hand was dangling, and he fiddled with the blade with his fingertips from time to time. "Do you want it?"
"No." Louise waved her hands, "I'm already nervous enough having to take care of two Colts. Don't give me a murder weapon."
"Oh, this thing is not comparable to the 'Colt'." Not to mention, one is a cold weapon and the other is a hot weapon. This is almost a dimensional gap. Zach didn't force it, "Then I'll keep it for myself, 'Colt.' I'm going to give one to the Ancestors Agency (Benjamin, Mokawi), and then give one to Jessica... "
Before he finished speaking, the phone rang.
Zach smiled at Louise, answered the phone, and said, "You're welcome~"
"Oh." Guess, it's the fallen angel who just regained his wings, "You're back, so it's not that Grande was destroyed by something, but all the dangerous things in Grande were released." Oops, it will be different when the power returns~ Jessica will be speechless.
"Yeah~ I'm back~ I probably helped you kill thousands of demons on the way... Oh, sorry, my wizard corrected me of tens of thousands of demons~"
"Wait a moment." Jessica left the phone, but came back quickly, "Is that you? Completely disrupted the timeline of Hell Gate? Now the time of Hell Gate changes once every second! It's actually because of you !”
Zach blinked, looked at Louise who was covering her mouth and laughing next to the phone, and curled his lips, "Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't know I did something bad."
There was silence on the other end of the receiver for a while, and at this moment when the atmosphere started to become awkward, "Welcome back." It was a sincere tone with a sigh of relief.
"Thank you, I'm glad to be back~" Zach also sincerely thanked him.
"I'll see you later." Jessica on the other side of the receiver seemed to be busy with something, "Goodbye first."
"goodbye."
Put down the phone. Zach shrugged, sighing, "I almost forgot how enthusiastic our Barton's 'friends' are in Sabbat City." In a teasing way.
"I thought you would bring Brother Dog back." Since the topic of the Sabbat came up, Louise followed suit. That's right, Louise didn't change the subject at all and asked Zach what he meant by the way 'Colt' was handled. We should learn from Louise and understand that the future of the Federation is a world of angels and the Sabbat after Zach's trip to the Sabbat. And Zach gave the two murder weapons their corresponding objects.
"Haha." Zach replied with a joke, "I don't want to be a parent of teenagers anymore." The topic flowed so smoothly, "Where are Alice and the others?"
"Over there at Parker Elementary School." Louise blinked with a smile and followed, "The Bain family and Logan are also working as voluntary nannies there. Charlie was made to stare at Herman by Alice." Following the flow, "Guess who has been most active since the 'Herman' redevelopment project came along? Other than Proud Mayor Anthony."
"I guess~" Zach played along with the game, "Aisela and her husband. And Herman can only endure it~"
"Yes~ And it's the ex." He emphasized, "The ex-husband. Ethela is divorced."
flow.
"So fast?"
"The outside world doesn't know yet~" Louise was a little proud, "There are probably no more than five people who know about Barton, and I am one of them~"
"I guess it's Ethela who's making plans for her fortune?"
"Well." Louise expressed her views on Ethela a long time ago, remember, so after the pride of this pair of independent gossips passed, Louise's face was not so cheerful, "She is doing it for her She is planning for her social status after becoming a vampire in the future. And money is something she can keep and transfer no matter how her identity changes. Hey, I really think it is a bad thing for her to be around Anthony."
"It doesn't matter. Anthony knows how to get along with vampires~" Zach showed himself.
"Did you tell Lesembra that Aesera was going to be his descendant?"
"Yeah." Zach smiled, "But I'm not telling him, but." Looking at Louise, "Don't get excited yet." The vaccination was administered first, "I gave Lutresembra a bottle of mine. Blood."
Louise looked at Zach, because Zach told her not to get excited, so Louise was completely indifferent like a piece of wood. Just looking at Zach, there was no reaction.
Zach's performance towards Louise was between satisfaction and embarrassment, maybe a little more embarrassing, "Okay, I know this means that all my malice towards the Sabbat will be shown to him. But..."
Louise looked away and waved her hand, "Don't say no. I guessed it."
"Did you guess it?"
"For a week, every day at 4 o'clock in the morning, I will receive a call, and the other person will curse you in a strange voice." Louise shrugged, "It will last about ten minutes, and most of the time those words make no sense. , for example, I hope Zachary’s *** is in the shape of a chrysanthemum, like this.”
Zach blinked and subconsciously touched his...
"I asked Fitz to check for me. It's the phone number of Vega City." Louise looked back at Zach, "I guess now, it's the Lutre Sembula. You have shown your understanding of The Sabbat is all malicious, but he is the only one who knows about it, right?"
Zach was still touching his... and said in a weird tone, "Yes. After the trouble I caused at the Sabbat, he couldn't share my true identity with anyone." Everyone must have heard that story about walking around in new clothes. The emperor never admitted that he was stupid enough to believe a liar, right
Maybe it's not the best analogy, but the message is the same guy who told the truth, got killed.
Ha, Zac did create huge trouble in the Sabbat, didn't he? The coup of Zmich, the second-ranked member of the Sabbat, forced Cappadocia to reconsider its status, and Giovanni and Ray in the middle Fro, hehe, we haven't forgotten Nick's reaction... The original sin of division is no joke. In less than a week, Zach shook the Sabbat's four-century class system.
And the guy who said he knew the truth was Root, the number one member of the Sabbat who brought Zach in, and who could only vent his anger by making phone calls.
Louise sighed silently with Zach for a while, and then said, "Speaking of the true identity. There is news about James. The phantom man you hired has contacted us."
"Oh. Is James safe?" Zach raised his eyebrows.
"Hehehehe..." After laughing for a long time, Louise remained expressionless, "No. It has nothing to do with safety at all."
