"What a convenient ability to receive human desires." Weiss sighed inexplicably, as if he was envious of the phantom's ability... Weiss suddenly looked at James, "You're not working hard enough."
What
James was stunned for a moment, and then immediately jumped up from the chair again, facing Richie, "Say! Who is your client!!"
Richie's expression changed slightly. He was resisting, "You two Detectives Barton have no right to interrogate me..."
"Who the hell is going to interrogate you!" James approached. The rare tacit understanding between the pair of Detective Barton finally came back, "I want to know the client's name! Now! Right now!"
Richie began to adjust in his office chair.
"James." Wes's face was calm, "Think about all the grievances you suffered from Zach and use those emotions."
As soon as these words came out.
The world in Huanren's eyes was swallowed up. In the whole world, only James is left, and the darkness spurting out from James...
"·Martin, address, phone number."
The world returns to its original state.
Weiss, "Thanks for your cooperation." Pulling James, "Let's go."
Richie, with a raped expression on his face, slumped in his office chair.
After leaving the office, Wes and James saw Zach waiting outside.
Zack was a little embarrassed, to be honest. Who would have thought that he would give James such a powerful grievance.
But since Zach really didn't want to talk to James, he could only say to Wes, "Awesome."
Weiss was also a little embarrassed, "You heard me."
"Well, I heard that." Zach glanced at James, said nothing, and continued with Wes, "Are you going to find this Martin now?"
"Yeah." Wes nodded, "Didn't he also entrust Mr. Rich to do other things? We need to collect some evidence that will allow the Newton police to intervene."
"Then it's a battle between personal desires and the desires of Newton's enforcers." Zack revealed Wes' plan.
Wes nodded again, looked at Zach, and then at the office behind him, without speaking.
Zach understood what Wes meant, "Go ahead, I'm here."
With nothing more to say, the two detectives left and Zach entered the office.
Zach directly faced the fantasy man Richie's exclamation, "Hey, humans."
"Yes, humans." Zach agreed, curling his lips at the same time, "I guess now I have no reason to blame James for wanting to plot against me, right? After all, it turns out that the injustice I made him suffer is so... Heavy." Breaking through Huanren's resistance in an instant and making the desire come true, isn't it
"Hmph, it's heavy. You're understating it too lightly. People who are dying don't even have such a strong desire to survive." Rich waved his hand, "But I really want to praise Detective Weiss. He treated aliens His understanding is really beyond ordinary people. He actually knows how to use emotions to assist desires, and instantly pours them into me to control my consciousness."
"It's not bad." Zach agreed and glanced at Richie, "But it's just so-so. Humans in the west have this level of understanding of alien races. Some time ago, Grande took over the task of delaying the existence of the Earthbinder. Time, and the humans who insist on being buried." Yes, I am talking about the Hannah brothers and sisters. "Humans in the west have a generally higher understanding of the world than we in the east and central part."
Richie was thoughtful, but Zach was not here to discuss the cultural differences between the West and other parts of the Federation with the Phantom Man, but, "Are you angry? I told the two detectives about your commission."
Needless to say, the moment James and Wes came in, Fantasy Richie knew why these two guys were here—Zach snitched.
Richie shook his head, "Not that much, and I'm not hiding anything in particular." To be honest, everyone knows about Grande's tangled relationship with the two police detectives. If Richie wants to hide it, he is deliberately exposing his client to My inhuman information should not be shown in front of Zach.
Zach nodded, as expected, "You asked me before how Grande positioned itself in Barton. My answer, although it is the truth, is not the whole story." Zach wanted to make up for the suggestions he had missed before. ? "Although I didn't choose what kind of commission I would take over, at least I knew the results I wanted to achieve after taking over."
Richie asked humbly, "For example?"
"For example." Zach did not give a specific example, but only said a very targeted example, "The client's commission is to kill someone. When the commission is delivered, no one may die at all. I ultimately give the client The result of the commission is decided by me.”
Richie frowned and looked at Zach, "How does that mean the commission is completed? Will the customer be satisfied?"
"So far, I'm very satisfied." Zach has the capital to say this. "At the same time, the police are also very satisfied." Continuing to use specific examples, "For example, the police are not satisfied with your commission in the fish market, right? There is one more unsolvable case." Zach saw Rich thinking, so he continued, "I can satisfy society because I provide everyone with a way to accept the picture presented by the incident. But You, the society as a whole are not satisfied. At least most of the unnatural deaths of Xiaobai happened in the individual's home at night, when the organs decided to 'sleep'. Now they happened in Newton, a rare public place where there are crowds of people. . Do you think a society composed of humans will be satisfied with this reality?"
Richie's eyebrows furrowed even more.
"We really don't have to choose who comes here to commission, and there is no problem in establishing our own customer base. Because we are a race beyond ordinary people, and we have the ability to do things in this world that are beyond ordinary people's imagination." Zach shook his head, "But the difference between your firm and Grande now is that I can satisfy all the parties involved in the commission, the police, the government, humans, and aliens. But you only satisfy the personal desires of one client. .”
Zach looked at the fantasy man, "When it comes to desire, no one has more say than you. Don't you feel that your ability is only affected by a single desire in this kind of incident, and you are insulted."
"Tsk." Huanren Qi uttered an infrasound and used the modal particles. After a brief self-examination, he looked at Zach, "Just now, James Lance asked me about the client information that I should keep confidential. It is an insult."
Zach didn't retort, but went a step further, "Then you have to be prepared for the same insult to happen in the future."
Richie frowned again, "What do you mean?" Is James going to do this again?
"Sooner or later your customers will figure out how to abuse you." Zack shrugged.
Richie waved his hand, "Impossible. I didn't tell those clients what I was. They just need to know that I'm not human and that I have the power to do inhuman things, so they would entrust me." It's reasonable, after all, it's in the dictionary. There is no interpretation of 'phantom person'. To ordinary people, "inhuman" can be used to describe all non-human creatures wearing human faces.
"You are not the only alien in Newton, aren't you." Zach reminded kindly, "Everyone in Newton can go to heaven. The black witch is telling those students that there are things in this world that transcend human rules, such as Witchcraft. And you are indiscriminately satisfying people's desires in this world before going to heaven." Zach spread his hands, "No one needs to know what you are, humans only need to know what you are used for. ”
After such a description, the city of Newton seems a bit...dangerous. Don't rush, the more dangerous thing is still behind.
"Then, you have to face the vampires of the Sabbat. Here we will not discuss the restraint of vampires on alien souls. We will only talk about sociality - what kind of people will be raised in the western society established by the Sabbat." Zach pointed. The door pointed at Detective Weiss, who had left not long ago and used James and his knowledge of alien races to rape the phantom. "Refroe has settled in this city. How do you avoid the Sabbat vampires?" The cognitive impact of humans in this city?”
Fantasy Richie frowned tightly, so tightly that the skin between his eyebrows began to break under the inhuman strength, revealing a little bit of colorful brilliance, which was surprisingly beautiful...
Richie was silent for a long time, then suddenly raised his head and looked at Zach, with a sudden realization, "It's over."
Zach pursed his lips.
Rich continued, "I can now imagine that in the future I will be trapped by a group of evil people and become a tool for them to satisfy their selfish desires."
Richie was also too negative. Zach waved his hands wordlessly, "If we continue like this, this will probably become a reality."
"What should I do?" Richie lowered his head, his expression was not good. In the situations he could foresee, he could not see the positive side even if he deduced the nature of a fantasy person, "I am a fantasy person, I The meaning of existence is to deal with desire." Continued pessimism, "It is inevitable that I will become a tool of desire."
"Why did you give up the entire city when the devil appeared in Newton?" Zach wanted to rekindle Richie's courage as a city lord.
"Because the devil in the Holy Lord's faith is evil." Rich shook his head, "I don't need to imagine to predict that the devil will make this place a place where evil is entrenched. And I can't do it in that situation. The one who controls the city." The essential problem is that he himself is an illusion. "Either I destroy this city, or the devil destroys this city. My decision is, as long as it's not me."
"Now you need the same idea." Zach looked at Richie, "As long as it's not you who destroys the balance of this city, that's enough."
Richie looked at Zach, "I can't satisfy everyone in one event like your Grande. I'm not Toledo. What you control is the human heart. The human heart can be shaped into anything. And The desire, the desire, that I receive does not turn.”
Zach nodded, telling the truth not as a consolation, "Just like the conversation I just had with Wes, you don't have to let your desires turn. You just need to put all kinds of desires together and let them collide with each other." Newton Police , which collides with the desires of the person who illegally entrusted the client.
Richie blinked, "Then, I can't even submit a satisfactory result for the client's commission? The consequence of letting desires collide with each other is that no one's desires will be satisfied here. Then why do I still open this firm? ?”
Zach was truly speechless now, "Uh, are you short of money? Do you expect this firm to make money?"
Richie was stunned for a moment, and this imaginary emotional jump was also incomprehensible, "Isn't your Grande profitable?"
"Earn money." Zach curled his lips, "But at least I have to raise a bunch of humans. Do you have any humans you want to raise?"
"No." Rich pursed his lips, "Then I have another question. If I can't provide customers with satisfactory results, how can I have my customer base?"
"Uh, seriously. I've been in Newton for the fourth day." Zach looked at Richie sincerely, "I don't know how I got the commission to dispose of the body at the engineering site, but I It seems that the two clients of yours I see here are not here because of their reputation." Zach paused for a moment and said, "They were sent here by angels."
Richie kept glancing at his lips at a certain frequency, "The construction site was commissioned by the office that opened here, and the foreman came in to give it a try."
So, it can be concluded, Zach, "Look, you have a stable source of customers. People who are promised by angels that they will go to heaven no matter what, they can continue to supply commissions here." Zach pointed to the direction of the project. , "And those commissions that came in here unintentionally and intentionally, you just happened to complete them seriously."
No matter what everyone thinks, at least the corpse dumping case at the construction site and the eyewitness evidence that Phantom Rich asked the black witch Yuehua to send to the police are true. To put it more broadly, someone who has made a correct contribution to society is definitely not the kind of person who goes out to kill someone in public, right
Rich began to think, "You mean, my firm doesn't actually need a reputation, right?"
Zach nodded, and looked back at the two angels behind him very spiritually, asking, "Does Rich need to establish a reputation among Newton citizens as being responsive to requests?"
The two angels did not expect to be involved in this conversation. After Zach asked the question, they glanced at each other, and then their eyes glowed with gold, obviously going to contact Crowley.
Quite quickly, Crowley's answer came. An angel spoke seriously to Richie, the fantasy man, "You don't need it. All the souls in Newton belong to us. You don't need to satisfy any of their desires in this world and let them establish a sense of belonging to this world. Anyway, enter After heaven, they will have nothing to do with this world.”
After hearing this answer, Zach looked back at Rich, "Look. The essential reason why angels introduce you to the commission is that they don't care about the experience of souls in this world." In other words, Angel Crowley doesn't care at all about the impact of the Holy Lord's faith on Humanity teaches that she only cares about souls getting to heaven. Therefore, angels do not care about the life of human beings in this world. They do not care about right things or wrong things. That's why when someone said in the confession room that he was a murderer, the pastor could calmly say, "You have been redeemed." This was something that even Zach couldn't accept, "Because they don't care, they don't want to care about human beings." These trivial matters, so they send these people who still have needs in this world to you."
Zach shrugged, "I think you can form a team or something. This division of labor would be great. From now on, you (Rich) can just go to the angel to collect the money." (To be continued)
