There's a troublesome guy in Grandry, Miss Miley Lister. Vertex 23S. Fastest update
"This guy came out of nowhere." Miley was wrapped tightly, and her exposed eyes were looking at Hannah.
"You're more of a 'come out' guy." Hannah ignored her helpless brother.
"Hey~ With a western accent, did you come here specifically to see Toledo~" Miley's eyes were crooked, and she didn't know what state of mind she was in when she said this.
"Are you?" Hannah liked this topic, "Remind you ~ you need to call me Mr. Grande ~"
"Ha, you've been trained so quickly~ Not bad, Zach~"
"Stay away from me." Zach went down to the basement.
Ignoring the people above, Mr. Marvin's body was taken over, and naturally it was accompanied by the earth-binding spirit who relied on the body to exist in this world.
There were demons and angels that Zach was not familiar with looking after the Earthbinder. Zach ignored them and sent the staff to pick up the body. He checked the state of the body first. Zach didn't think Hannah was interested in coming to see his father. Zach's checkup was for his brother.
"I knew this was a bad idea." Mr. Marvin, the Earthbinder, was muttering to himself. Zach had no intention of replying and looked at the corpse first.
The wound was very clear, and the chest and abdomen were crushed and crushed. It should be the result of the direct crushing of the building debris caused by the accident. In addition, other wounds and stains on the skin looked like they were caused after becoming a corpse. It seems that the body was found dead at the scene of the disaster, and there was no treatment or body disposal process at all. It was directly sent to the hospital morgue to be claimed.
Zach ignored the angels and demons who had no sense of presence anyway, and began to sort out the remains. There is nothing important to do, just clean the person. The Earth-Binding Spirit cannot be seen by the living person, so the face of the corpse is the object of conversation with the living person. Zach is at least helping the brother relieve some of his... negative mood.
"They don't want to travel with me at all..." Mr. Marvin looked... just an ordinary fat elderly man, with no features worth mentioning, "But I really don't know what to do. Every day, I wake up, I pray, I eat breakfast, I read the newspaper, I water the plants, I walk the dog, I pray, I eat lunch, I take a nap, I read the newspaper, I..."
While Zach was cleaning up the body, he glanced at the demon while listening to this chatter.
The black mist rolled away. "He's in Grande. He should be safe. I'm going back." It drifted away.
Zach looked at the angel again, and the angel was also shrinking in a golden field. He found that Zach looked over and showed a human form, "Mr. Marvin likes to talk." He added without expression, "He likes to talk very much." Return to the golden light.
Zach nodded and continued what he was doing.
“What can a retired old man do?”
The basement was quiet for a while, and Zach accidentally looked up and found Mr. Marvin looking at him.
"Oh? Are you asking me?" Zach seemed to be enlightened and gestured to the work in hand, "I didn't listen, I'm sorry." He continued to wipe the stains on the skin of the body.
"Every month, the day I talk the most is when my pension comes in. I called the pension office and told them not to pay it to my ex-wife and I's joint account anymore, but to pay it to my personal account." account. If they can’t be bothered to change the account and just send me a check, I wouldn’t mind going to the bank one more time a month…”
Zach looked up at Mr. Marvin again. He said nothing and continued his work.
If a dead person insists on sharing their life story, then so be it.
"After this day, my day goes back to the same routine. I wake up, I pray, I eat breakfast, I water the flowers..."
"Okay." Zach checked his work, "I'll go up and tell your children to come down."
"Wait a minute!" Mr. Marvin stopped Zach, "You are the Toledo, right?" There was... guilt on the face of the translucent Earthbinder.
"I am." He nodded and went upstairs.
When he came down again, he took his brother with him. As Zach expected, Hannah did not come down. She stood at the entrance of the basement and said just wait. Speaking of which, the name "old brother" is too easy for people to misunderstand. This brother has a name, Kane.
"Oh... my son..." Mr. Marvin made an even more guilty voice as soon as he saw Kane, "I'm really really... sorry..."
The dead father was apologizing to his son. Zach was not prepared to comment. He was only prepared to focus on completing the reason why he was here and sent a message, "Your father said, I'm sorry."
Kane's expression was very strange, and he had a feeling of 'Does it make sense to say this now?' Zach just felt that when Kane began to look for his father's location in confusion, he only looked at the cleaned body. It means you just have to say it to this.
"It doesn't matter, father." Kane looked at the face of the body with a strange expression. Zach had covered the unsightly wounds on the chest and abdomen. From the face alone, the deceased looked very peaceful. Compared to death, which happened suddenly enough, there was not much pain.
"You all don't want to stay with me at all..." That's the first sentence again.
Zach repeated dutifully, "Your father said that none of you wanted to be with him at all."
Kane frowned and looked at Zach, as if to explain himself, "Uh, he said that? Uh, we just don't live together, uh."
Zach gave an 'I'm not judging, I'm just passing on a message' face. Kane looked at the body.
"It's not their fault!" Wonderful, Mr. Marvin started to face Zach excitedly, "They are all adults, they all have their own lives, and they all asked for leave in order to accompany me on this trip. , but I, I died! I forced my children to travel with me, but I died! Holy Lord, what did I do to my children again,... "
Zach paused for a while, because it sounded like too many family members were involved. Zach didn't know how to retell it comprehensively. Let's try, "Your father seems..." Zach frowned, "I think he is right again. You and Hannah have created a shadow in our lives.”
Kane looked sideways at the corner of the wall and twitched his lips with a 'yes, that's it' expression, and said, "I said I don't care anymore." He turned back to face the body, "Hannah wants your house. "
"Really?" Miraculously, Mr. Marvin looked very excited, "She forgives me?"
Zach had a premonition that no matter what the current situation was, or what was expected before, it seemed that the situation was about to be reversed.
"No, she will never forgive you. I think the first thing she did when she returned to the West was to burn down your house."
The angel hiding in the gold appeared again, "Has this believer committed any unforgivable sins before?"
Mr. Marvin's translucent body began to flicker. If only the demon was still there, now it was up to Zach to ask Kane.
Zach didn't ask, and looked at Kane with an expression that said, "Speak more clearly."
Kane did not answer, but looked at the body, frowned and asked, "Will you go to heaven?"
"Son... I, I..."
"You don't deserve it, you know it." Kane took a deep breath, "I called my mother and told her about you. She didn't want to come and take your body back to the west. Hannah and I still have our own lives to care for. Gu, if you hadn't paid for this trip, we wouldn't have come, so..." Kane glanced at Zach, "I guess this is it, you will be buried here."
Zach glanced at the angel. The angel also glanced at Zach. Then they looked at Mr. Marvin, the Earthbinder.
Mr. Marvin: "Son, don't you forgive me either..."
Zach didn't need to repeat it, as if he had a clear understanding, Kane said, "I just don't care. It doesn't matter what you do." He said irritably, "I guess now is the best. This city can let you accept the trial of faith. You have obviously used your Your life has proven that your family is not worthy of judging you, so let your faith judge you."
Kane nodded to Zach, meaning that he was done, and turned to leave.
Zach stood there for a while, took one last look at the angel in gold, shrugged his shoulders, and went upstairs.
When he came out of the basement, Kane, the older brother, looked completely relaxed, as if he had let go of all his previous tension. He was communicating something quickly with Hannah, and then he looked at Zach who came up, frowned and left. It's time to leave Grande.
"He went back to the hotel~" Hannah still looked like that, "We can't afford the expensive accommodation, and we need to change to a cheaper place before the funeral is over~" It seemed that she was talking about a very casual topic.
Zach didn't respond, he didn't need to know this kind of thing.
"Do you know how my brother and I were tricked by my father into taking this trip?"
Zach didn’t need to know other people’s gossip, so he didn’t plan to pay attention to it and went directly to Miley.
"When I first found out that my father was cheating on my mother, I was still a teenager. My world collapsed and I hated everyone." The rebellious period of a girl? Well, the focus is on family changes! "Then, like any lost girl, I started to indulge in something that was life-destructive~"
Zach ignored it.
"I used to be the number one fan of Night Child~"
Zach had to pay attention and looked back at Hannah, speechless.
"My old room in my father's house is full of Eli Toredo's pictorials~" Hannah smiled, as if she was shy? "Who doesn't have some dark history~"
Zach pouted.
"This is why we came on this trip with my father. My father still thinks that I am addicted to the Toledo impostor. He used the previous message to induce us to accompany him to this easternmost city in the Federation."
"And you were really deceived." Zach was really speechless. "I thought everyone would avoid their own dark history."
"Hmph!" This was a coquettish snort, "Did Mr. Grande forget about the bet he mentioned before so quickly? I have long abandoned those dark histories. I came to Barton because I want to see the new and upgraded real trust. Rui Duo’s~~”
Zach immediately turned around and ignored Hannah. Because if there was more malice, Zach might conclude that Mr. Marvin was murdered...
In the office, Miley, who had already taken off her body covering, had a mocking look on her face, "Funny girl, right~"
Zach ignored it, "What do you want."
"What else can I ask for~" Miley smiled and threw a folded piece of paper to Zach.
Zach unfolded it and took a look. There were various addresses on it, which were crossed out.
Miley, "I'm looking for a house, but I'm not very happy with it."
Zach threw the paper away, "James also said you need to move." Remember the previous phone call.
"Has he not said that I need to move out yet, or you haven't told me that he called to ask." Miley is really perceptive.
Zach shrugged and did not argue, "What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that Kate will reveal that you not only know about the alien race but also know the situation of the alien race very well?"
"Yeah~" Miley actually didn't argue, "I still have the image of an innocent and pitiful young lady to maintain in front of James~ I can't destroy it, can I~"
"Then shouldn't you stay with James to make sure Kate doesn't reveal your true identity?"
"The logic is this, keep the threat by your side for easy supervision~ But~" Miley smiled, "You obviously don't understand women~" She twirled her hair and fiddled with it on her fingers, "If If I keep my distance, Kate might not take me seriously and ignore me. But if I have been living in James' house, haha, Kate will definitely not ignore my existence~"
Zach could understand that someone was just objectively evaluating their own physical charm. No need to argue.
"Then what do you mean by coming to my place?"
"Since I can't find a satisfactory place to stay temporarily, it's not like you've never lived here before, so I'll make do with it."
This Miley must have gotten into the habit of spending time with her house. Did she pay a dime for her place after she returned to Barton? This is not a healthy attitude towards life.
Zach tilted his head and looked at Miley, "Are you sure? Miss Lister, the person behind 'Apocalypse', if you live in Grande, I may know all about your actions in the west."
"Is there any problem?" Miley's confidence came online again, "You are here, Apocalypse is there." Pointing to the west in an exaggerated manner, "What can you do if you know? Fly over to help the Devil's Banquet?" face smile.
In response to Miley's bright smile, Zach also smiled, "Now there are two ancestors of Sabbat vampires living in Glendale." It was both a notification and a reminder.
"That would be best." Miley had obviously considered her decision carefully, "Let those two old guys who have slept for four centuries understand how disgusting the society created by their descendants is~" Miley squinted.
"You are really brave. Are you really not afraid of death?"
"Do I need to be afraid? If I remember correctly, the last time Frank Gilberg talked about the combination of humans and aliens in Western society, his evaluation was, haha, 'disgusting'~"
Well.
and, "And I'm not determined that Mr. Frank Gilberg has discovered his dear son's true attitude toward him, and I'd be happy to give him a heads up~"
in conclusion.
Frank was being used as a tool, and Miley noticed.
