Zach's route was Harrison's home, the carnival, the hospice, and finally, Ford Funeral Home.
To explain, neither Harrison nor Amelia was home. Zach guessed that the two went to the carnival. After going to the carnival, he found Emilia and asked Emilia where Harrison was, but Emilia continued her unhappy attitude from Grande, "I don't know."
Zach could only guess that Harrison was at work and went to the shelter. Smith's staffer Zach missed it and Harrison went home from get off work. Comparing the time, Zach knew that Harrison hadn't come home at all. Then there was only one possibility, Harrison went to purchase ingredients.
Ford Funeral Home.
Zach knew that he was not a welcome person here, but he still walked straight to Ford's office, which had closed its business hours early and the lights were still on.
Sure enough, Harrison was here, arguing with Ford...
In fact, it was just Harrison's unilateral roar, "I have been buying corpses at this price! You can't just raise the price!"
Mr. Ford sat in his seat with a leisurely expression and glanced at Zach who came in. "Why can't I? It's too expensive. Why don't you find someone else to buy it? Here comes one."
"Zach!" Harrison was probably really angry. He actually noticed Zach's appearance later than Ford, a human being. "This psycho has tripled the price of the corpse! It's simply unreasonable!"
Zach was not prepared to get involved in such a dispute, so he grabbed Harrison and walked out, "Follow me to Grande."
Ford snorted from behind, and Zach didn't pay any attention. After leaving the office, he picked up Harrison, who didn't know what was going on, and started running.
After running out of the North District and entering the South District, Harrison on his shoulder realized, "Hey! Hey! What are you doing! I need human corpses! I need food! There is no food in Grandri!"
The food Harrison needs here specifically refers to human corpses. As everyone knows, daily food doesn't matter, as long as it is dead, but Ghoul Harrison needs special nutritional supplements from time to time - food to maintain human form. Only human corpses can satisfy this need.
Zach didn’t want to explain, and didn’t know how to explain it. He said that he dropped a star when he was bored and counting stars? And then the star says Harrison is his body and now without Harrison he's going to burn to death in Grande's backyard?
Let Harrison talk to the angel in the backyard about this kind of thing! Zach doesn’t want to be stuck in the middle! Zach kept running.
Harrison, who couldn't get an explanation, seemed to have misunderstood something, "Are you taking me to the mill? There's no point in going to the mill! You don't know that the vampires from the Sabbat ended up with me after Allen Funeral took over the mill. A trading agreement! They won’t give me the body anymore!”
Zach was still running, but he opened his mouth and said, "Why?"
"Didn't Madison tell you?" Harrison answered the question himself, "Oh, Madison no longer works for you. Well, Madison said that Allen Funeral wanted to curry favor with the Southern District Police Department, and transferred to the police department. The police mill can always provide the resources that the police mill has when it comes to corpses, so the mill will no longer provide me with corpses in case I can’t get them out when needed!”
"Absurd." Zach commented, "Except for the unclaimed corpses, the corpses in the mill will be cremated in the short term. What impact will it have if I cut them up and sell them to you?"
"That's what I said!" Harrison seemed to be angry again, "But Madison can't help it, Allen just gave him the order!" Harrison paused, and the anger disappeared, "Madison It’s quite difficult, I don’t want to embarrass him…”
This is obviously a complaint about Zach's bad treatment of Madison before. Zach didn't want to care anymore and accelerated.
Just when Harrison said helplessly, "Do you want me to dig your grave...", Zach threw Harrison into the backyard and went back to the bedroom to change into tattered clothes.
After a while, Harrison's scream came from the backyard: "Ah-"
Zach walked across the rec room and glanced out of the second-floor window. Nothing bad happened. The lying angel was still lying down, but tilted his head and faced Harrison standing in front. And Harrison, staring at this face and screaming.
Zach didn't care.
After changing my clothes, I said loudly, "Stop screaming! That's almost enough!" Then I turned on the TV and watched the changes in the entertainment room.
Harrison in the backyard stopped screaming, but he didn't do anything either. He stared at the angel on the ground in confusion.
This went on for a while and Zach heard a sound.
Angel: "I can feel how much you don't want to see me, but I'm going to die. Will you save a dying Angel, Harrison?"
"No!" He refused very simply.
"Okay." Angel, "Let me end my life here."
Zach sat on the sofa, staring at the soap opera on the TV, "You can't lie down in my backyard all the time!"
"Okay." Angel said, "Harrison, are you really unwilling to save your former soul?"
"No!"
"Okay." Angel, "I'd better wait here for the reward of death."
Zach, "You can't just lie down all the time..."
"Okay. Harrison, you..."
"No!"
"Well, I… "
"You can't lie down all the time..."
"Okay, Harrison..."
"No!"
"Well, I… "
"you can not… "
…
The world is broken in Grande, at this time. The cycle with no way out keeps repeating.
What broke this cycle was a phone call, Emilia's phone, with the noise of the carnival in the background: "Have you found Harrison?" This woman simply cared about her boyfriend.
"found it."
"Oh." He hung up.
Zach did not go back to the entertainment room to watch TV. He went downstairs and stood on the back porch looking at Harrison and Angel. He said to Harrison, "Amelia is worried about you and asked me to find you." No."
Harrison said nothing.
Angel: "I'm sorry." The face facing Harrison tilted back to the ground, as if he was autistic and waiting for death, "I know it was me who disturbed your life, Harrison, and this apology is for you." Then, "I'm sorry, this is for Grande's owner, Zachary Toledo. I've caused you trouble, a trouble I can't get out of myself."
The angel was quiet for a while, "Help me speed up the process of my death, use vampire blood."
Zach nodded, stepped off the back porch, stretched out his hand, and pulled up his sleeves. The dark red spell streaked across his fair skin. The bright red blood droplets seeped out and solidified into blood beads. They were wrapped in the spell and slid down. To Zach's palm.
Zach pinched his own blood beads and prepared to throw them at the burning angel.
"Wait a minute!" Harrison held down Zach's arm, his face was as tangled as a rag, and the corners of his mouth twitched for a long time, "*!" He cursed at the ground and looked at the angel, "What do you want? What do you want from me?!”
The angel's answer was extremely quick, as if all his previous calmness in the face of death were just farts, "Allow me to possess you and become my vessel."
Remember the rules for angel possession, you need the permission of the container. At the same time, this also shows one thing, this angel is not the kind of angel that Newton Crowley cultivated, which is no different from the devil! This angel still follows the principles of action of angels in the Holy Lord’s faith!
"The flames on your body?!" Harrison did not agree immediately, "Is it a legal punishment? If you possess me, won't you burn me to death?! Do you want to kill me?!"
"No." The angel denied it quickly: "This law punishment is the twisted world rules of Papa Midnight, because I escaped from the republic where he restricted the actions of our angels. I appear in any space outside the republic with the life of an angel. , will be burned. The only way to avoid this punishment is that I am no longer an angel. And you and me, together, you are not a ghoul, I am not an angel, I am the soul, you are the body. We are a century Human beings who did live in this world before, we will not be punished by the world."
Zach became more and more convinced that all the angel's previous awakenings were all performances. Look how smoothly he expresses himself now! Does it look a bit like a dying person
But Zach's eyebrows gradually furrowed - this angel is from the Republic! The fact that the Angels of the Republic returned to the Federation by falling has been fermented by Barton and Newton, but this guy has maintained the life form of an angel and came to Grande!
And there are ways to circumvent the world's punishments that are beyond vampire knowledge but sound like they have real logic. Zach stared at this angel, this guy was so questionable.
"I don't want your soul, and I don't want to be your body!" Harrison didn't know Zach's thoughts, and stared at the angel on the ground in confusion to vent, "I don't want to become a human! I like me as a ghoul. s life!"
The angel was silent for a while, then suddenly turned his head again and looked at Zach, "What did the fallen angels who came to Barton say that they fell from the Republic and then returned to the Federation?"
really! This suspicious angel fell in Grande with a purpose! This is proof! The reason why he involved Zach in this bloody incident of "recognizing one's ancestors and returning to one's clan" is about to be revealed -
"They said they killed the patrolling time hellhound, completed their fall, entered hell, and then returned to the living world from hell's time." Zach answered, just to make the other party say more!
"Liar!" There was anger on the angel's face, "The Holy Lord did not give the angel the authority to control Cerberus at all. That was the function given to Hell by the Holy Lord when he split the world of faith and created heaven and hell! There is no such thing on the republican continent. There are no demons in heaven and hell. Where did those angels find the hellhounds to kill and complete the fall?! There is no creature in this world that has the ability to kill the hellhounds living in the mezzanine of the world! They are lying!"
"Then tell me, Angels of the Republic, how did your compatriots in the Republic degenerate on a large scale and return to the Federation." Zach had already pulled Harrison behind him, and before asking what he wanted to ask, Zach can't let Harrison satisfy him! Because of his good intentions, Zach was taken advantage of by the other party and brought Harrison here. Now, Zach does not allow himself to remain passive!
"They..." Angel, uh, choked up, "They killed their own people!"
The topic was not Harrison, and Harrison had no emotional changes. But Zach, Zach became sullen, "What did you say?"
"I said that the angels who fell and came to the Federation accomplished their fall by killing their own compatriots!" The angel's body was trembling! "There are only two ways for angels to fall. One is the angel war that happened when heaven and hell were split! No one wants to go to hell! The Holy Lord couldn't make a choice and condoned the war between angels! Then Lucifer killed his fellow angels , was punished by the Holy Lord and became the first fallen angel!"
The angel raised his head as hard as he could, as if to stare his eyes into Zach's face, "Because you sent Republican Eli Toledo and Zagel, we already know that Lucifer is now the black cat next to West. , right, you can ask him! I didn’t lie to you!”
"I'll ask." Zach responded coldly, "You mentioned two ways to fall."
"The second type is the hell dogs that the fallen angels lied to you about!" the angel answered. "The punished Lucifer was unwilling to become a fallen angel. He used his newly acquired ability to control the hell dogs to control hell and join the battle between angels. , the angels who are defeated by the Cerberus and dragged into hell will become fallen angels!"
"The difference between defeating and killing is too big. Are you saying that the 'angels' from the Republic made such obvious mistakes when they lied now?" It's too doubtful.
"This is not a mistake for them! It's self-esteem!" The angel stared at Zach, "No angel will admit being defeated by a Cerberus! When this fact happens, the angel loses his self-esteem and his angelic glory! The fall is completed ! These are the rules created by the Holy Lord!" After the angel finished speaking angrily, he added, "You can ask West!"
Zach frowned, "The current West is no longer the Holy Master. He is a substitute."
The angel was stunned for a moment and murmured, "So the blurring of the boundaries of the world and the vision of the Cerberus was because the Holy Lord had..."
"Yes." Zach didn't have time to pay attention to the angel's sigh, "Then how did you escape from the Republic."
The angel was silent for a while, "During the Republic, some angels suddenly began to assassinate their compatriots." The mood calmed down, and the speed of speech also slowed down. This was the statement, "That part of the angels should be from Zag After Erna knew that fallen angels could become angels again, they began to plot this matter. For those of us angels who are still preaching in the Republic and are confused, there is no warning... "
Zach wanted to be quiet and listen, but so-and-so was not. Harrison suddenly interjected from behind, "Were you attacked?"
"Yes, I was attacked. I was attacked by compatriots who I once thought were close friends. In the Republic, where you have to always be wary of Papa's midnight creations, vampires, and aliens in the Republic, I was attacked at the moment when I thought I could relax the most. "I'm gone." The angel paused for a while, "Maybe I'm lucky. I survived, but I'm still living with a lingering breath. Most of my soul marks were wiped out, and the only remaining soul mark..." Paused again, "It's the memories from when I was still human. Those memories that made me who I am." His eyes turned to look at Harrison, "I want to come back, I want to go back to the place where my human life ended. I know I didn't have much life left, and I had nothing to lose, so I left the Republic, took the world's punishment with me, crossed the ocean, and returned to my cemetery. I found that my bones were not there. At this time, I Then I realized that my body, like my soul, has begun a new life..."
It seems that the narration of a touching story is coming to an end, and Zach must kill the scenery.
"Liar, you just said that your soul mark has been erased, and your memory is only about when you were a human. Oh, and then you told a lot of the truth about the fall of the Republic Angels." Is Zach a fool
"I'm not lying to you, vampire." The angel looked back at Zach, "How do you think I managed to get here? Why is it that the flame of the laws of this world keeps burning but doesn't completely eliminate me?"
"Why?" Zach asked coldly.
"I hunt down those betrayers of the Republic in the Federation!" He was excited again, "I used their soul marks to supplement my soul mark!" So he can tell the truth here! "I use their souls to extend my life! Listen!" The flames on his body suddenly became fierce, "Did you hear that?!"
There was a tragic cry in the flames! "The betrayer's cry! So beautiful!" A ferocious look appeared on the angel's face! "I'm going to kill them all! Not a single one will be left!!"
Do you know what the best part of this twisted story is? It's an angel killing a fallen angel, he won't fall~
"Save him, Harrison." (To be continued)
