Before returning to Grande, Zach had already sensed the changes in Grande and was a little surprised. When he arrived in Grande, there was no need to hide his surprise, "Hank? What if you move back?" "
Zach gave a lift to Hank who was carrying a mattress - Hank was moving things from the living area back to his original room in Grande.
Hank glanced at Zach's hand on his mattress and said "take your hand away!" without any shame.
Zach retracted his hand in embarrassment. Now Hank didn't need help. The question was still the same, "You no longer live in the living area?"
Hank put the mattress into the room, ignored Zach, and continued moving it.
Zach followed Hank around. Hank's apartment in the living area was almost empty. It seemed that Hank's move back was an established fact. Zach didn't ask any more questions, returned to Grande, and went directly to the entertainment room to turn on the TV. Zach knew that today's James wedding would be covered by the local news. Zach couldn't see it himself, so it was good to see what was happening on the screen.
"Hey, what happened today?" As soon as Zach entered the entertainment room, he saw 'Jian' sitting on the sofa watching TV, "Hank came back to live, and you are here watching TV again."
'Jian' seemed to be in a bad mood, "Can't I watch TV?"
"No." Zach sat down next to him. The channel was a news station. Zach didn't have to operate anything. He just waited for reports. "It's just that you don't have other things to do, such as going to your 'Heaven' to see Linda." ? For example, go to the west to get some information?" The God of the Republic has not been seen in the past few days. He looks extremely busy. Why is he so idle now? This is what Zach finds strange.
'Jian' didn't respond and stared at the screen.
It was difficult for Zach to continue asking. Fortunately, the news did not disappoint Zach. Reports about the wedding appeared.
"Oh, Cozier's wedding dress. Kate knows it well~" Zach, who had no sense of participation, could only use this gossip mentality to tease the scenes in the news, "Letting go?" Zach said to The screen shook its head, "I really don't understand why this boring scene is pursued by so many people..."
After half a minute, 'Jian' couldn't stand Zach's nagging anymore, "I plan to accept the black cat's proposal, raise it in this world, and gain knowledge of the Holy Lord's world."
"Oh." Zach was not very interested and continued to comment on the scenes on the TV, "These scenes have been edited. I want to see the complete recorded scenes. I hope the wedding planner has arranged for filming."
'Jian' rolled his eyes and continued to speak, "Toledo no longer has the key to the gate of heaven to give me, and you have no intention of giving me the key to Gangro. The only way I can get the key is, It is to compete with the Sabbat for the possibility of the existence of other keys that no one knows about and may not exist at all."
Zach raised his eyebrows, which was actually a bit strange. These are all facts that have been before Jian's eyes for a long time. What does it want to do now by summarizing them seriously
But Zach didn't ask. There are some things that people want to say. It's not good for you to interrupt people's rhythm by asking more.
"Instead of putting all my hopes on the Sabbat's four centuries of continuous failure." 'Jian' tilted his head, "I think I should try my best to grab something as hopeful as possible."
Zach actually didn't understand. He glanced at 'Jian' and found that 'Jian' had an expression of 'Ask me now'. Well, Zach asked, "What has the Sabbat continued to fail for four centuries?"
"Did you know that the Sabbat knew about the existence of the Key to Heaven's Gate when the Federation was first established?"
"Obviously not." Nothing bad to admit.
"The Sabbat has been looking for it, but has never found it. This is not a failure."
"Oh." Zach understood the logic of 'judge' a little bit, "Do you think that if the Ancestors Office insists on keeping Gangro's secret, the Sabbat has no hope of finding the key to the door of heaven. You already know the truth. It's meaningless for competitors to compete next to each other. So..." He looked at 'Jian' again and confirmed that 'Jian' wanted him to continue talking. Then Zach finished, "You might as well accept the black cat first. That's it. It’s a bit rewarding.”
'Jian' nodded with satisfaction, "The black cat will not be the only thing I accept." Looking at Zach, "I will also accept the research of your former friend, Father Constantine."
The sudden mention of Grande's neighbor surprised Zach a little, "How do you know about Constantine?"
"Roy Zmich."
We only said before that Roy gave the 'Jian' information, but we didn't say what the information was. Let's talk about it now.
"Roy Zmich looked at the process of Black Cat's proposal to me. When you picked up people in the North District, he told me that if the God of the Republic is looking for a way to heaven, except now Rut Lesembra In addition to the obsessed descendants of Toledor, there is also a study on manipulating the results of the Trial of Faith that is secretly supported by the Sabbat."
Zach had to lament Roy's pity, "Hey, Roy probably wanted to use this information in exchange for you, but he didn't expect that you have the ability to immediately verify the information (to go to the Sabbat)."
"Don't make narration comments there." 'Jian' clicked his tongue, "I'm talking to you about business now, so focus."
Zach looked at the 'jian' with raised eyebrows and began to determine that today's 'jian' was a bit strange. But he said, "I'm very focused, you say."
"I have been in contact with Father Constantine, and I have also observed several of his experiments." I asked Zach to focus just now, but now he is distracted, "It is true that the souls of your federation must go through the stage of earth-binding spirits. It's unbelievable." Fortunately, it was collected quickly, "But his research looks very promising, using the method of erasing soul marks to change the outcome of the faith trial." Look at Zach, "He said you gave it to him suggestion."
Zach nodded and took the credit.
'Jian' continued, "Coupled with his already mature soul mark removal and implantation, I think this research can be successful. Father Constantine can send specific objects to heaven."
A smile appeared on Zach's face. Constantine was a good man and deserved to be congratulated for his success.
"But." 'Jian' glanced around, not referring to Grande's entertainment room, but to this land. "Even if this research is successful, I am not sure whether there will be any application." Chance."
Zach looked like he was willing to hear the details.
"Will Barton Newton's Hell-Heaven allocation principle be fully promoted in the Federation?" 'Jian' looked at Zach.
Zach waited for a while without continuing. Only then did Zach realize that this was a question that he had to answer by himself. "Well, there is no need for promotion or anything like that. There is no need for all the souls in this country to be right." Disillusionment with heaven and hell.”
"Then who will protect those illusions of the soul? You?"
"Me?" Zach smiled, "I am the 'murderer' who made the Holy Lord disappear. I cannot be the protector."
"That's it, no one will protect this illusion." 'Jian' waved his hand, "Barton's demons and Newton's angels have already regarded the soul of this world as their harvest." This metaphor is a bit Realistic, but yes, "I don’t need to discuss the nature of the Holy Lord faith with you. We all know that the Holy Lord faith that does not belong to this world only wants the soul. You see, in the churches of Newton and Barton, there are also protection What is the appearance of faith in the hearts of believers? Hmm, I’m being polite when I say promotion, there’s no need to push, copying the soul distribution of Patton and Newton will happen naturally.”
Zach raised his eyebrows, "You want to say that the Holy Lord's faith's judgment on the Earthbound Spirit is no longer meaningful."
'Jian' didn't even bother to nod, "In this case, I have encountered a very difficult problem. The Sabbat only needs to exercise their absolute control over the west, and they can easily send their chosen ones to heaven. But I, the God of the Republic, cannot."
Zach waved his hand and rebutted Jian's previous words, "You underestimate the Sabbat. The Sabbat has been sending the chosen ones into heaven for the past four centuries. The purpose of the Sabbat is not to contact heaven. The purpose of the Sabbat is not to contact heaven. What we want is to be recognized by the faith and get the reward promised by the Holy Lord." Zach wanted to tell Jian, "The Sabbat sends all the souls in the west to heaven. It is not the recognition of the faith, but the opposite of recognition. If you, the God of the Republic, can’t tell the difference, just remember it.”
'Jian' frowned, "But you see, the Holy Lord's reward has been cashed by someone else, namely you and Gangluo. And you have never planned to reveal this secret, right? The only one in the Sabbat who knows the truth is Ka The Cappadocia clan, huh, and the Cappadocia clan is firmly on your side..."
Speaking of the Cappadocia clan, Sires stood at the door.
Zach signaled 'Jian' to calm down first, stood up, and went downstairs with Siris - Zach had already heard what was happening below: the detective's funeral was over, and the relatives who had finished the funeral came over to express their gratitude.
It was Siris who used this point in his walking process, "Sibella came to me yesterday to ask me about Alpha."
Sure enough, Zach had already guessed, "What did you say?"
"What can I do..." Sires looked a little speechless, "I told the truth." Sires must have been really speechless, and Sibella was also very clever, finding a vampire to ask Alpha about his living conditions.
Zach didn't say anything more, and waved his hand, "You also told Benjamin that Sibella was looking for you."
Siris nodded, "I said it."
"That's fine." Zach meant that he didn't get stuck in the middle and that his mood wouldn't be affected. He patted Siris and went to deal with his family.
"The funeral was very good." There were very few words to describe the funeral, and the family members didn't know what to say. "Thank you, Mr. Grande, for being able to complete such a ceremony for (the deceased) in such a hurry."
Zach answered politely, "This is my job." To be honest, Zach didn't have much communication with these family members. Remember, the funeral process was all handled by Wes, who came with them yesterday. of.
"Now that the funeral is over, Director Darcy also signed the insurance compensation documents with us at the funeral..."
Zach had a premonition and remained silent, quietly looking at the hesitant expressions on the faces of the family members who spoke.
"... I mentioned Mr. Grande before me..." The family members were also observing Zach's reaction.
Zach knew his hunch was right, "Do you want to entrust me with it?"
"Yes!" As soon as Zach's question came out, his family members answered it very quickly.
Our views all along were indeed correct. This group of family members cooperated extremely well to complete the arrangements made by the North District Police Department for the death of their loved ones, and then... then they started to fall out.
"It was a day off!" Once it started, the family member couldn't stop, "I'm sure it was because I knew he had to work the day before and moved the appointment for kitchen water pipe repair at home, but he suddenly said that he had been transferred to another job Time, off tomorrow, you can wait for the maintenance appointment at home!" Well, it's still such a trivial thing... but the important evidence, "I asked him why he took the day off, it's just for maintenance, there is no need! I know the stars in the North District now The police detective here is Detective Lance. Detective Coulson, who used to be pretty good, was transferred to the Southern District Police Department and was demoted. I know all about it! Men’s work matters!" Well, let’s introduce this. A family member is the wife of the deceased.
She continued excitedly, "I always told him to be careful in the police station! Don't get too close to that Detective Lance, so as not to end up like Coulson, but don't be too far away from that Lance!" What a real woman.
Continuing to get excited, "There is no need to leave evidence at work just for a trivial matter! As if the pressure of his job as a police detective wasn't light enough..."
"Madam." Zach had to interrupt, "Your commission?" Otherwise, who knows how long this excited woman could be verbose.
"Oh, oh!" The wife regained her composure, but was still excited, "But he said he wanted to do something for Director Darcy, a small thing, and he would come back after doing it!" She started to get confused, "I just want to get it. The director's favor is quite good, so I won't take care of it anymore." Fortunately, this should be the end, "I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it..."
Zach was stunned for a moment. This woman, who had always behaved calmly at the funeral, actually lay on his chest and started crying...
Zach glanced at Siris, who was also frightened, and other family members were watching. Zach couldn't do anything. He could only pat the woman on the back symbolically, "So now you are confirming this whole thing." Everything was arranged by Director Darcy, but you don’t know why or what the specific reason is. You want me to find out the truth, right?"
The deceased wife withdrew from Zach's arms. The relatively conscious woman looked at Zach and said, "Yes! Mr. Grande! I often talk about you when we talk about work! Grande Sir! Outsiders may think of you as the gossip supporting character who had a boring love triangle with Detective Lance in the newspaper, but I know! Grande was in this city long before Detective Lance appeared. Of..." The woman paused.
It is understandable that a police detective would not use any good words to describe gray professionals.
Zach nodded. Hey, in front of a bunch of family members, is it possible for Zach to refuse this commission? Zach is a gentleman, "I will accept this commission."
"Don't worry, Mr. Grande!" There were still tears on the woman's face, but she was already completely excited. "I will pay you! It is definitely worth your work!! I am very rich now! Darcy gave it to me Yes! I can’t think of a better way to use this money than this!”
What can Zach say, thank you Darcy? (To be continued)
