When Zach showed up in front of the church on the West Side, he knew he was already too late.
Zach, who disappeared from Mary's Church, crossed Route 7 and entered Paisin. Relying on the sparse crowds at the junction of Paisin and the South District, he ran into the North District as fast as possible, and then rushed straight to the church.
Even though he rushed here without wasting any time, it was still too late.
Police cars and ambulances have surrounded the church. Zach saw people from the West District evacuating the church area under the escort of the North District police, and ordinary citizens who were carried or helped into ambulances by medical staff.
Now that it was too late, Zach wasn't going to show up with clothes that were bound to become a pile of rags after the run.
Let’s take a look at Zach’s mental process as he searches for a change of clothes.
The troublemaker in Mary's church, unimportant. Why? Because they are just making trouble, demanding so-called religious judgment at the altar, spreading sensational rumors and throwing eye-catching leaflets to a bunch of ignorant people. Then what? Then there is no more. What else can the troublemakers do? No more.
But what if the location of Mary's Church is replaced by the North Side Church where people from the West Side live
There’s no need to think too elaborately, it’s probably enough for us to just think about it.
When the rioters asked the priest who was delivering the sermon at the altar, "Do those who corrupt souls and bodies deserve to go to hell?" How would the people in the West End church react
People in the West End church will laugh. Of course, everyone sitting here will go to hell. It has nothing to do with some of the West Enders who already know the true story of Barton, remember? Smith once said with a smile, "It would be funny if I didn't go to hell."
How do people in the West End react when a troublemaker calls someone the devil? People in the West End who show a little respect to the troublemakers will mentally review recent events and speculate on who the troublemakers are talking about. West Enders who keep laughing will keep laughing. No one has ever done this to corrupt souls and bodies.
How will West Enders react when pictures of Blake Stone are spilled.
ha!
It turns out that this group of people has been continuously obstructing the joint actions of the West End people and the city government this week, making it difficult for the Stone family to use their political tools!
It's delivered to your door~ Then, kill it.
Behind closed doors, when people from the West End do something innocuous on the territory of the West End, do they still need to think deeply
Uh... Okay, maybe there's something wrong with the West End people's indifference to life. Then let’s think a little more sophisticatedly.
The political tool of the Stone family, Blake Stone's personal orientation has been suppressed by the events and cannot be released. Who is the most aggrieved? Is it Blake the protagonist? no. It was Bishop who was waiting for Blake to come forward after being pushed into public opinion. Bishop is the highlight of the alliance between the West End and the city government!
Mr. Bishop, sorry I forgot the quotation marks, is 'Mr. Bishop' a kind and philanthropic character? No, she was the evil spirit that slaughtered all lives in the Bishop family.
Zach changed his clothes. Step out of the green belt used to hide your figure...
"I really didn't expect to see an evil spirit erupt before I left~" It was Frank who spoke.
Zach turned around and smiled at Frank, "Why are you smiling? This is not a good thing."
"Isn't it bad?" Frank didn't completely remove the smile on his face, but he knew that Zachary Torredo was the one with the most thorough view of things in their team, with a questioning tone, "I think it's pretty good. Yes, the people of the West End showed absolute cohesion. The moment the evil spirit broke out, Smith, Falcon, Barton, Yuri, these families with aliens or who knew about the existence of aliens all immediately gathered around the evil spirit. I don’t know. Regarding the existence of foreign races, Fisher, Quest, and other large and small families did not express their opinions on their own initiative." Frank said with a...satisfied look on his face, "What impressed me the most was the non-family members, the West End The service class of society has no intention of questioning their upper class. The entire class structure of the West District is stable, which makes me deeply realize that slavery maintained by force should really be eliminated. The master-servant relationship in the modern society of the West District, loyalty allows I am even more sure that the current Sabbat has no future~"
Zach nodded, but only because of Frank's last paragraph. We have discussed the class of West Enders a long time ago. Zach has also personally experienced the connection between the masters who occupy the upper class of society and the servants who are in the service class. . Remember, Zach and Louise went to Amanda's birthday party. For the service class in the West End, upper-class West Enders are not only their bosses, but also closer family members.
After Zach nodded, before he could say anything, a new vampire joined the conversation.
The blue butterfly floated into Zach and Frank's field of vision, fluttering between the two for a moment, and finally chose to land on Zach's shoulder, which was Eve. It starts with, "Humph, Thorin still invited you to the nightclub."
This attitude, forget it, Zach is used to it.
Fortunately, Eve did not continue to taunt Zach in the boring crowd, and directly connected with the content of the conversation, "Now that we have seen the cohesion of the people in the West End." The butterfly's tentacles shook in the direction of the still noisy church, "More What’s important is execution, and all social support in the West District is under the control of the people in the West District.” The meaning of these words is obvious. You can imagine how long it will take for Detective Coulson to send the arrested troublemakers to the police station after Zach disappears? On the West Side side, there was nothing fancy. The police to control the situation surrounded the church, and the medical staff to deal with the aftermath followed closely behind. People in the West End seem to have control over social resources so easily that they can move their fingers. Hey, do they still need to enforce the law in a name like Coulson
Eve flapped her blue wings, and then said, "Master Lesenbra (Frank, Eve dare not call Frank directly), you can go back to the Sabbat with peace of mind."
You can dig deeper into what Eve said. It was obvious that Eve was a little wary of Frank staying in Barton and learning about the Tower of Babel. Hope Frank leaves soon. What's more profound is that Eve obviously also knows that Frank has no good intentions towards the Sabbat. Barton's West Side people are united and strong enough to hinder the Sabbat's control of Barton. What Eve means is to tell Frank that he doesn't have to worry about Barton being swallowed up by the Sabbat under the management of the West End people. So what Frank wants to do at the Sabbat, he doesn't have to worry about Barton's situation. Everyone can work together. Light a fire and burn the Sabbat.
"Haha, you don't have to rush me, little Eve~ I have to leave too~" Frank returned to his smiling face and looked at Zach. The meaning of the smiley face is obvious. Frank agrees with what Eve added. He thinks the outbreak of evil spirits is a good thing.
Zach wanted to sigh, but he forgot about it. The conversation between the three vampires did not need to be personified. Zach said directly, "Don't you ask me how I got here."
The person who responded was Eve, who was not afraid of Zach directly patting her on the shoulder, and did not hide the sarcastic tone, "Who knows where you heard the news, anyway, I can see you in everything, I have stopped a long time ago Consider how you intervene."
"I attended a service at Mary's Church, and the same thing happened. But in Mary's Church, there was only one Detective Coulson who accompanied his family to worship. In desperation, he arrested the troublemaker on charges of illegal religious assembly." Zach tilted his head. , looking at Eve over his shoulder, "Your West District uses thunderous means to kill those who cause trouble in your territory. What about Mary's Church in the North District? What do you expect Detective Coulson to do? Extraordinary performance?"
Not only was it not an extraordinary performance, but it was thanks to Zack that he managed to capture the leader.
The butterfly flaps its wings slower.
Zach continued, "That's the case with Mary's Church in the North District, but what about the Gospel Church in the South District? Let me make a random guess. I think in the Gospel Church I'm taking now, the pastor is debating with people whether Blake should go to hell. .”
Eve's wings spread flat on Zach's shoulders.
Did Zach guess wrong? No, how did the priest of Mary's Church inexplicably agree to the troublemaker's faith trial? It was because Zachary Toledo was present. Are there many vampires like Toledo who confuse right and wrong in Barton? If Zach wasn't in the South District, it seems like there wouldn't be one.
Then we have already given many examples of the inexplicable dogmas in the Holy Lord Faith. Whether people like Blake will go to hell really needs to be debated...
Zach did not stop, "The people of the West Side are united together, but is this cohesion useful? Others have already achieved their goals. If they choose to use their faith to make a fuss, they have done nothing to Barton's social credibility. The people of the West Side and the law enforcement police department have done nothing. Hope."
Zach's words are not idle far-fetched. We've been treating violent attacks on minority nightclubs and those who attacked Grande as hate crimes, and that's not wrong. But now I ask everyone to put themselves in the shoes of this group of violent elements, when they find out that the person who called the police in the nightclub incident was their former master of the Stone family and the mayor's secretary. Do you think a gang of people still had any trust in the West Enders' credibility when they almost beat Blake to death
Then, in order to make way for the nightclub incident in which Craik was involved, the media continued to fail to report various related incidents of hate violence in Patton, including the attack on the funeral home that Grande left to Ford. What force suppressed all this? It's Barton's enforcers, the police.
Looking along the way, we just felt that the police in Barton were "sensible" people who knew what the top people in the city needed, so they cooperated. Zach also participated. At least Darcy's cooperation was under Zach's guidance, right
Then continue to think from the perspective of those who hate violence. It turns out that the law enforcement officers in this city are not on our side.
This is strange. Why would law enforcers stand on the side of criminals? However, have you forgotten Darcy's attitude towards the nightclub incident before Zach pointed it out? Remember, everyone should understand. Darcy, who was not pointed out, said straight away that it was just a fight. In the eyes of the police, there is no absolute violence or victim, let alone an absolute bias. .
We already know the facts. The police are definitely biased towards people from the West End.
So, if we are these violent criminals with hatred, and we, in this city, still want to speak out for the dark voices in our hearts, what should we do
We... turn to God.
Zach finished what he wanted to say, "Their goal has been achieved. The public opinion that you West Siders have been suppressing and preparing for has been opened up by the other side on a new battlefield. And you will lose."
The issue of timing
West is leaving this world. The god who left many inexplicable dogmas in this world will not and cannot explain his dogmas to all living beings at the last moment.
And the most important point is, will Blake go to hell? This debate will be lost. Hum, just look at who is debating with the troublemakers in the South Side church. He is the devil.
Zach can now clearly see some of the progress of the times that he has been unable to see clearly. The minority group Blake belongs to, haha, cannot turn over, at least not within a few decades based on the experience of vampires on the process of human civilization.
The wings of butterflies were understood again, and Zach stopped him, "Tell Blake, don't use the information I told him about Sabbat Zmich's medical experiment before. This step of the West Enders has been abolished, don't use it anymore." It’s a waste of information.”
After speaking, Zach let Eve fly away.
Only Zach and Frank were left, but... Zach's purpose of coming was finally accomplished. Firstly, it failed to stop the absurd behavior of the West End people, and secondly, what should be said has been said to Eve.
Zach glanced at Frank, "What about you?"
"Me." The smile on Frank's face had gradually faded when Zach was speaking. Now, he was expressionless and shook his head, "It's time to get on the road to the Sabbat."
Zach said in favor, "Let's go together." Of course it was the journey back to the South District.
Frank had one more thing to do before leaving Barton, "Old Hank over there, how are you thinking about it?"
"There should be a decision." Zach didn't talk nonsense. He thought about the questions Winston asked Zach and the meaning of eternal life to old Hank from Winston's tripartite perspective (Winston said that eternal life has been arranged for It doesn't make much sense for me to have a good funeral, but for people like Old Hank who still need to make life choices and are threatened by unknown death, it means a lot.), no one will refute it. Coupled with the 'scare' that Zach deliberately caused to Winston. Zach ignored Old Hank and Winston for the past two days, giving them space to think quietly, and decided that they should have made it.
Frank didn't do any ink, raised his hand, and handed a blood bottle into Zach's hand.
Zach was slightly confused, "Aren't you going to complete the conversion yourself?"
"I'm not a good father~" Frank returned to his usual smile, "And this is repaying a favor. I don't want to spend more time on this father-son relationship. You don't mind helping me~"
Zach tilted his head and collected the blood bottle.
Without further words all the way, Zach returned to Grande.
"Hank." Zach found old Hank who was with Winston in the living area, handed over the blood bottle, and said inexplicable words, "Go to hell, live forever, have you made your choice?"
"Go to hell!" Old Hank grabbed the blood bottle. (To be continued)
