When he returned to Grande, Zach felt like he was missing something. It seems that while helping Nuo handle the commission, I missed something...
"Mason."
Zach stood on the back porch of Grande, looking at Brian sitting on the bench, a little surprised, "Brian? Why are you here?"
"The thing you feel like you're missing out on is Witcher Mason." Brian didn't look at Zach. This vampire-hating human held his backpack, lowered his head, and continued his inexplicable words without a tone.
"What?"
"The skull demon was sent to heaven with the key to heaven's door liberated by Toledo, but the witcher Mason did not. What you missed is Mason's subsequent developments."
Zach opened his mouth and said, "Okay." The strange feeling of having something missed made up for him made Zach not know what to say, "Are you here to tell me what's going on with Mason?"
"No." Brian still didn't look at Zach and began to rummage through his backpack, "But Madison said he could tell you this." He pulled out a manuscript and gave it to Zach.
Zach answered.
After looking at Brian for a while, he looked at the manuscript. The content on it was messy, with all kinds of unrelated sentences written in no format at all.
Zach watched for a while until he actually saw the content about Mason.
Humans' protests against aliens in the west became more and more intense. Constantine, who used human souls for experiments, was exposed and attacked. Constantine and his demon companion Seth began to run away. Mason, who had been the container of the demon Seth, took over. When Patton received the message for help, there was nothing he could do, so he chose to head to the west to meet up with Constantine and Seth, and New West provided help.
Zach opened his mouth for a while, "What is this??"
"Madison's draft," Brian answered.
"draft?"
"Well, not everything in this world will have something to do with you. This is Madison's draft. He lists things out and then sees what you, the protagonist, will do. Whatever is related to you is written into the story. It has nothing to do with it. Just throw it away." The zipper of the school bag Brian was holding had been opened, and Zach saw a bag full of manuscripts.
Back to the original question.
Zach looked at Brian, "What are you doing here?"
"Watch the story."
"What?"
"The only part of Madison's story is that Louise didn't answer your call. I asked Madison what happened next, but he wouldn't tell me or write it, so I had to come and see it myself."
The corners of Zach's mouth twitched, "What??"
Brian finally looked at Zach, with a sincere expression on his face, "Have you been raped by Zagar? Tell me, I want to know."
Zach's eyes turned red for a moment, and he entered Grande ignoring Brian, closed the door, and returned to the office.
Write down 'Shanggonghe News' with great emphasis! Then I finally broke through the moral constraints of the past few days and began to write down the detailed steps for going to Republic News...
"I hope you are happy." Benjamin stood at the door of the office and stared at Zach. "Mokavi himself went to get a training class on postpartum care and went to face yoga."
Zach turned his head and looked at Benjamin, "What?" Zach seemed to only be able to say this.
"You showed her the physiological knowledge of human reproduction, didn't you? Now she regards herself as one of those fragile human women, bent on keeping herself and the child in her belly healthy!"
"Uh." Zach didn't want to pay attention to it, raised his eyebrows again, and prepared to list the steps to publish the Republic News.
Benjamin came closer and took away the paper that Zach was about to write on, "I haven't even asked why I went out and made a commission. My wife's belly is already eight months old!"
Zach took a new piece of paper and started writing again, "Ask? Why do you ask? Isn't this the situation we discussed. Well, if you want to ask, just ask your wife why she suddenly wants to feel Bruch's feeling. .”
Zach just wrote the headline 'On The Republic News'.
The paper was taken away by Benjamin again, "Then you should let him find the feeling of Eli Toledo! Use blood control to stop the growth of the fetus! Instead of using human physiological knowledge to scare her!"
"Am I scaring her?" Zach took another piece of paper, "Is this the first day you met me or the first day you met your dear wife?"
Benjamin continued to smoke Zach's paper. Benjamin's strategy was to push the topic forward, "Where have you been! You should have watched her in Grande!"
Zach was speechless. No one saw him when he went out with Nuo. Isn't there no one in the whole Grandry willing to say a word to him? Tsk, forget it, it may not be that no one is willing to speak for Zach, but that Benjamin refuses to listen to Zach’s movements from others.
"Nuo needs help." As soon as Zack put his hand on the new paper, Benjamin took away the whole pile. Zach took back his hand, put down his pen, and said calmly, "Yoga, what, do you want me to ruin that yoga class?"
It means, 'Benjamin, just tell me, what do you want from me? '
Benjamin was quiet for a while. He clicked his tongue and sat down opposite Zach.
"What are you going to do about that guy downstairs? You remember he was the psycho who sent fan letters to Grande like a psycho." He was talking about Brian.
Zach sat motionless for a while, then suddenly picked up the phone and started dialing the mill.
The call went through.
"It's me, Zach. Get your staff back, thank you."
"Okay." Madison agreed, "Is he around now?"
"You wait."
Zach went downstairs and glanced at Brian, who was still sitting on the bench, "Your boss asked you to come up and answer the phone."
Brian didn't resist and followed Zach up.
Under the gaze of Zach and Benjamin, he picked up the receiver and said, "Hello."
Madison on the other side of the receiver, "Get back to work."
"Do you have any follow-up stories about vampires?" Brian asked, not caring that Zach was right next to him.
"No~" Madison replied.
"Then I won't go back."
Zach's brows furrowed.
Madison on the other side of the receiver, "I will deduct your salary if you don't work~"
"It doesn't matter, my house in the southeast can still collect rent. I'm not short of money."
"Okay, please give Zach the phone."
The phone came back to Zach, who already had a terrible look on his face, "Madison, what do you mean?"
"It's not interesting. You heard it. You asked me to call him, and I did. But I don't seem to have any prestige as a boss. I'm sorry. Is there anything else? I need to tell you that I am short of employees. busy."
Zach looked at Brian and then at Benjamin, "Get out."
Brian moved quickly, and Benjamin paused. After seeing Zach's confirmation look, he went out and closed the office door.
"Madison." Zach sat back at his desk, "Who is buying my story." He asked directly.
"Roy's judgment was correct~" Madison also answered. Also, Madison had no intention of hiding this whole thing from the beginning, otherwise he wouldn't have deliberately shown off in front of Harrison.
Zach adjusted his mood, and the next conversation was not suitable to replace the previous irritability, "Will Lutresembra succeed?"
"I won't answer your questions beyond this point in time~"
"Give me a reason."
"Hehehe, I want to live~"
Zach's vision briefly lost focus, and when it focused again, he asked, "Are you safe now?"
"Not really~"
Zach was silent for a while again, frowning, and asked with all his brainpower, "Can I regard the current situation as when you react, something in the future has already started to happen? You now, in Try to find room for maneuver?"
There was silence on the other end of the receiver for a while, and finally he dropped his smiling tone and stated, "When I 'saw' this point in time, this moment when you and I were talking on the phone, I probably used it repeatedly. There are dozens of ways to answer your question, and the subsequent events will all..." Madison stopped talking.
Zach was thinking fully and reacted quickly, "Your dangerous future has no intersection with my story." He came to this conclusion.
It was the manuscript that Brian displayed on the back porch earlier, wasn't it. Just when we thought Zach played an important role in everything that happened in this world, Madison used a book bag of drafts to show us that Zach is, after all, just an individual, and it doesn’t take much 'Deify' the individual.
Not everything Zach will participate in. In other words, Zach's protagonist aura can only be exerted in Zach's story.
"Well, yes, and you can come to this conclusion every time." Madison responded on the receiver, "You are really a smart and annoying guy."
Zach didn't pay attention to Madison's comment, "But it started when Lutresembra bought my story, right?"
"Yes." Madison replied.
Zach was quiet again, thinking. The conclusion of thinking, "Should I focus on the fact that another me is created in the future, and ignore the fact that your ability was abused by the Sabbat because of this matter. When you are heading towards danger , I was dealing with my own problems, which ultimately led to yours..." Zach actually wasn't sure what the danger Madison was talking about was, was it death? So I haven’t finished.
"I said, I won't answer things beyond this point in time. But as a protagonist being written, you have such reasoning, haha, which makes me, the author, very happy."
Zach heard Madison's indifference, which made things even more confusing. Zach asked directly, "Madison, what are you going to do?"
"What are you going to do?"
"Your goal? Besides trying to stay alive."
"No, I just want to stay alive for now."
"But as you just said, you are not safer now."
"I didn't say my situation got worse, right? I'm still alive and well at this moment, right?" Madison became slightly impatient.
Zach raised his eyebrows. The change in the other person's mood proved that Zach had clicked on something, "Are you saying that what you are doing now is continuing your temporary safety?"
This call is getting more and more convoluted, and there is nothing we can do about it. Madison is obviously now strictly adhering to some principle that cannot be told to Zach... No, Zach has just analyzed it. It's not that Madison doesn't want to say it, it's that even if Zach knows it, he has no time to care about Madison's safety in the Sabbat. There may be another Zach incident, which is Zach's own story. Zach is unable to control everything in this world! And among these uncontrollable events is the problem Madison is facing now!
Madison sighed over there, "Can I say something? You can come to this conclusion every time, and then, haha, you feel at ease. You will think, Madison can handle this problem by himself, Ah, Madison is pretty strong too, so I don’t need to worry about it.”
Zach frowned, Zach didn't mean that.
But Madison didn't give Zach a chance to continue, but said, "Anyway, you just need the peace of mind that you can live in your own story, don't you? Don't argue, I can't tell you, but I just want to give you a little A little self-conscious, vampire, you can say, I can read, I can see all the stories, yours, everyone's. I am the one who can annotate all the stories, not you, vampire, don't be too arrogant .”
Inexplicably, the call seemed to turn into a personal attack by Madison.
But Zach didn't refute anymore, he understood what Madison meant. What Madison said is probably right. Now that he has got Madison, after turning around the facts about Madison's future, Zach himself has to admit that he will really give up on Madison and no longer cares.
You’ve never really cared about it before, so why start now? Madison doesn't play an important role in her own story, does she
After Zach was quiet for a long time, "Probably no matter what I'm talking about, you've seen it from the future many times, right."
"Finally, you understand~" Madison returned to her original smiling tone.
"Do you need me to say goodbye politely and hang up the phone?"
"You can do whatever you feel comfortable with, I don't care~" An author said this to his protagonist, hey. This is giving up.
"Then." Zach hung up the phone suddenly and unceremoniously. Although this situation should have happened many times in Madison's future vision, Zach didn't care anymore. At this moment, Zach felt happy to do so.
hang up the phone. Zach sat at the table for a while. "Then." Zach hung up the phone suddenly and unceremoniously. Although this situation should have happened many times in Madison's future vision, Zach didn't care anymore. At this moment, Zach felt happy to do so.
Benjamin's voice came in, "What did you say, I didn't understand it at all."
"You don't need to understand." Zach opened the door and glanced at Benjamin, "You just need to know that he has reminded me that the issue of the Sabbat is very important to me?"
