The man in overalls finally received his attendance fee, said goodbye to Mrs. Levine, walked a few steps, raised his eyebrows as he rounded the intersection, and walked directly into the alley between the buildings.
At the end of the alleyway, Sibella looked up at the sky in the gap between the buildings, seemingly in a daze. As the man in work clothes approached, she asked, "Is it fun to be a blue-collar worker?"
"Dear mother." The man in overalls was Rui Wenqi, "This has nothing to do with play, this is life~" and shook a few bills in his hand.
"This is just nine days of your life in January." Sibella looked up to the sky and lowered her head, but still did not look at Ravenqi or the ground. "There is still one day left, do you want to live like this childishly?"
Everyone can understand what this conversation is about, the life of a werewolf, a human for 9 days and a wolf for 1 day.
"Childish?" Rui Wenqi's mouth curved, "It turns out that it is childish for an adult man to work and live on his own, Sibella." The mother's title was directly replaced by her first name, "Isn't it mature to be locked at home by you every day?"
"You are still Barton's criminal. I am doing this for your own good." Sibella looked at Rui Wenqi.
Just in time, this conversation supplements our understanding of Ravenci's life after returning to Barton. We only know that he lived with Sibella when he first came back, and now it seems that he ran away without Sibella's will.
"Dead criminal." Ravenci added, "If you are really good to me, let Steve (identity merchant) lift the injunction to sell me a new identity. That way, I might not need to do this. Find a blue-collar manual job to support yourself."
Sibella sighed, "Tell me why you want a new identity?"
"Heh." The conversation between mother and son was a little uncomfortable. Let's feel it for ourselves - "What kind of answer do you want to hear from me? I don't want to be a hunter and an Alpha, Ravenci Hayate, or I don't want to be Hayate's son. "
Sibella's eyes hardened, "You know you have many ways to say you want to start a new life, but you chose the one that hurt me the most."
"Did I hurt you?" Rui Wenqi continued to ask in Sibella's words. This attitude, forget it, everyone can feel it, "Ryan still lives in Grande now, huh, an earthbinder would rather live in I don’t want to live with you in the evil lair of vampire Barton. And here you are telling me that I hurt you?”
There are big problems between mother and son.
But we don’t need to worry about anything. They are not the protagonists of this story. They exist only to serve the Lord...
"That's enough!" Sibella waved her hand, and there was a jingling sound under her shawl, "Steve Walker still has an Indian identity. This is his bloodline. He can't get rid of it. He will always be my Indian." A member of the ethnic group. Ravenci Swift Wind, as an Alpha who insists on leaving his family, you have to live on your own outside, whatever you want, but you can never buy a new identity from the Indians! You, it’s impossible Got Indian support!”
Parent-child issues, coupled with cultural issues, coupled with historical issues, tsk tsk tsk.
"Can I say that my heart is hurt?" Rui Wenqi only had a mocking smile on his face, not hurt at all. At the same time, he turned around and prepared to leave, knowing that this short 'encounter' was about to end.
"Alpha Benjamin has a new identity in his hands." Sibera spoke again after Ravenci took three steps away.
Ravenci paused for a moment, but did not turn around. He only looked back with more taunts, "Ha, you made a bunch of careless remarks, and then you allowed that Steve Walker to sell his identity to Benjamin? Wow, mother, I Kiss mother." He turned around and prepared to continue walking.
"I am your mother, so I am telling you now that Benjamin has a new identity, and." Because Ravenci's steps were a bit fast, Sibella could only keep up two steps and continued, "And it's not from Steve's hand. He bought it from the mayor!"
Rui Wenqi paused again, turned around this time, and looked at Sibella, "How do you know?"
"Although the Ancestors Office has done some things to help the Barton aliens, they have not yet completely won over all the Barton aliens. Some people still take the alliance with me seriously." Rui Wenqi did not continue to leave, and Sibella also stopped. He moved forward and looked at Ravenqi, "Benjamin organized the crusade against the Kraken, used it as a bargaining chip, and traded with the mayor to obtain at least 0 legal and readily available human identities."
Rui Wenqi raised his eyebrows. Although he had no intention of apologizing for teasing Sibella just now, he said, "Thank you for letting me know." After a while, he still smiled and said, "Sibella." Tsk, now I can be sure that he is only here. I only use the title 'mother' when I want to be sarcastic.
"I've learned about Benjamin's recent status, and I'm sure that at least 0 of these identities have not been used." Sibella stared into Ravenci's eyes, "If you really want a new identity, this is your chance. ."
"I'll think about it~" Ravenqi shrugged and was about to leave again, but turned back temporarily, "How do you know Benjamin's condition?" Ravenqi was curious about this for a reason - "Did you use John's spices in exchange for it. When I lived at your place, you said you had no remnants and lacked the materials to make them.”
The information that can be extracted from this sentence is that Ravenchi does not have the spice to evolve the werewolf.
Sibella was quiet for a while, "No, and I still lack production materials. I asked Cappadocia at the Ancestors Office."
"Really." Ravenci was quiet for a while and chuckled, "You expect me to believe you? You asked the vampire about Alpha's condition?"
"Why don't you believe it? I am looking for Sires who works in Grande. He is a very sincere farmer. I am glad that becoming a vampire did not make him lose his character. If you think of visiting your brother Ryan , you can ask for verification at any time.”
Rui Wenqi raised his eyebrows first, and then said, "You know what~ You reminded me~ I do miss my biological brother a little bit~" Then he turned around again, "After all, he is the Earthbinder who escaped from my hands. , I am very much looking forward to his current growth~"
This time, Sibella didn't speak any more and watched Rui Wenqi walk out of the alleyway, turn the corner, and disappear.
Sibella and Ravenchi are both people we can follow up on, but... right now, let’s follow Ravenchi. After all, he had just heard about our protagonist Zach’s itinerary from Mrs. Levine, and now he was reminded of the reason why he could go to Grande~
The moving process was not a waste of time. It is worth mentioning that Rui Wenqi changed out of the maintenance worker's overalls and put on ordinary daily clothes, including a hat. Most of these passers-by will go unnoticed.
When Ravenci arrived at Grande, he met the tail of General Lance seeing him off.
Rui Wenqi entered the Grande Showroom with his hat down and smiled at Siris, who was alert for a moment. "You are not afraid of my mother. Why are you afraid of me~" Look, the word 'mother' is used for sarcasm.
Sires tried to speak again but was interrupted by Ravenci, "Shhh, there are three policemen standing in your backyard who arrested me for murdering my brother." Everyone knows who they are talking about, it is James, Coulson, and the one who was at that time. North District Director Colon, "I don't want to attract attention~"
Sires glanced at the situation in the backyard with a sad face - in addition to the embarrassment of seeing him off, there was also an Earthbinder Ryan who went crazy and shouted "Ah!" and disappeared without a trace. Siris silently closed the back door of the showroom, "Are you here to see Zach? He is out."
"I can feel it~You are the only vampire in Grandery now~" Sires did not regard himself as an outsider, bypassing the display cabinet and sitting directly next to Siris, "You know me, please." Playing with it casually The magazine that Siris read while passing the time, "I mean, those who know who I am know me, not just instinctively knowing that I am Alpha, and apart from Benjamin, Barton's Alpha only has Sibella's son~"
"I..." I hesitated for a while, but finally chose "I know you." Cyrus was a little unaccustomed to being so close to someone he met for the first time, so he moved a little, "Benjamin said that you once wanted to kill Zach. Then he was turned into a werewolf by Papa Midnight." The difference is that Ravenci's knowledge is a fact based on pure logical inference, while Sires' knowledge is 'I know what you have done'. The difference is quite big.
"It's a thing of the past~" Rui Wenqi waved his hand, "The result." He tilted his head and finished, "It turns out that even though I can no longer be a hunter, I still like Toledo." He rubbed his fingers flexibly in the air. Next, "I quite like Ian~"
Well. Even Siris knew that Zach definitely did not think that Ian could represent Toledo, and Ravenci's way of building relationships was unacceptable. Sires wrinkled his face and started flipping through the magazine.
"You are really a sincere guy~" Rui Wenqi looked at Siris sideways, "I have to admit, I also know you~"
Seeing Siris frowning and looking towards him, Ravenqi was very satisfied with the effect and continued, "Papa said at midnight that you and Zach were trapped in soul expansion. In order to save you, he transformed He married you, and then because of his..." Rui Wenqi shook his finger again and rolled his eyes at Cao Feng, "Using the unstable Toledo descendant principle, he gave you to Cappadocia as a descendant. ~”
After listening to this, Siris no longer looked at Ravenqi. It was a very clear attitude that he did not want to continue communicating with Rui Wenqi.
But of course not wanting to communicate is one-sided, Ravenci said, "Besides, did you know that I followed you for a while?"
Siris was stunned for a moment and had to look at Ravenqi again, "What?"
"Oh, it's Papa Midnight's order~" Ravenci was once again satisfied with the result of forcing the other party's attention, "Zach saved you during the soul expansion. Papa Midnight watched the whole process of Zachary Toledo. Theoretically, vampires do not need to have sympathy for humans ~ So for a period of time, Papa Midnight wants to use you to create some, haha, sideshows for Zach ~"
Sireth's eyes widened.
"Don't be so surprised~" Rui Wenqi actually hit Siris on the shoulder in a 'good brother' way, "Did you really not realize it? When you went to Newton, you felt an inexplicable sense of threat. ?”
Newton. Sires has been to Newton! It's just that this matter seems to be Sires's private matter. He was getting vampire education from Nenad at that time, and he didn't tell anyone about what he did in Newton.
"that is you?!"
"It's me~" Rui Wenqi put his finger to his mouth, "Shhh" Siris' voice was a little loud. Fortunately, the sound of the engine was also heard from the backyard. General Lance was defeated by the persistence of Chief Cologne and Coulson, got into the car of these two guys from the Southern District Police Department, and left Grande.
Rui Wenqi, who noticed the progress in the backyard, smiled at Siris and said, "Relax~ Nothing happened~" Without giving Siris a chance to respond, Siris opened the door behind the counter. "Yo! Detective Lance!"
James, who was watching the car drive out of the Grand, turned back. His face was gloomy when he saw the hat that Ravenci had deliberately taken off... James pulled Kate behind him and started to pull out his gun.
"Are you serious?" Rui Wenqi smiled. A genuine smile.
It’s time to laugh. The reason. Of course, Ravenqi had enough reasons not to show up in front of Coulson and Cologne, but James, huh, the entanglement between Ravenqi and James was really unclear for the moment—
"Have you forgotten everything I taught you? Detective?" Did Ravenci teach James anything? Of course I taught you! Ravenci's appearance was to teach James how to kill ghouls! Later, James also maintained close communication with the hunter Ravenci to gain experience in how to survive in a world full of alien races!
So Rui Wenqi now took a stand and faced James with sincere ridicule, "What effect do you expect your small 5 mm caliber to have on me? Do you want me to save half a drop of blood?"
Do you all remember the basic principles of hunter weapons? Trap and create bleeding wounds. This is the only way for humans to cause substantial harm to aliens given the physical differences between humans and aliens.
James was probably really frightened. He didn't even think about how Raven would laugh at him here if he attacked as a werewolf? Hey, James's way of responding to Ravenci's words was to remove his magazine with a click, not forgetting to remove the bullet from the gun chamber, and then pulled out a new magazine from his waist, and fired again. Put it on and face Ravenchi again. The movements are extremely fast for humans. But...what's the point
Rui Wenqi let out a 'hehe', "Full of silver bullets? You can still carry it with you? You are worthy of being a child of a rich family~" How should I put it, the name of the illegal civilian armed group that Barton officially gave to the hunter is quite correct. . In Ravenci's career as a hunter, he did not have equipment as luxurious as James's. Remember, the crossbow used by Ravenci, a hot weapon that cannot recover ammunition after being fired, cannot be used by hunters.
Kate hasn't reacted yet, but smart people are different. Kate can at least see that the person pointed by James is sitting with Siris. Even if there is a battle in which humans are absolutely weak, it won't be their turn. My husband, James, is active here. "Who is he?"
"he… "
Was intercepted by Ravenchi, "I am Ravenchi, a werewolf, Alpha~"
"Oh." Kate lost interest and glanced at James, who was still holding his gun, "I'll wait for you in the car." This was not calmness, but simple indifference - Kate's focus was on vampires, the Sabbat, and the West. . Female reporters are very clear about their goals.
In just a few seconds, James realized how ridiculous his gun-raising was. He put it down with a gloomy expression. (To be continued)
