By the time Zach returned to Grande, Benjamin and Mokawi had disappeared... leaving behind a note.
"At the end of the day, either me or Mokawi, would come to the Grand to see Adam."
What does this situation look like? Like Zach, a working couple named Benjamin and Mokawi hired a nanny for their son. Their normal work continued, and all the work of caring for the baby was left to the nanny.
The only twist in this situation is that they haven't provided Zach with a place to live, and Zach wants to take care of other people's children in his own home...
Zach felt that Benjamin was really angry this time.
Every time, Zach bowed his head to show his kindness. This time, Zach felt it was unnecessary. It was Benjamin's turn to turn a certain corner on his own.
Bumi didn't stay in Grande, partly because Nick, who was not harassed by Mokawi, stared at Bumi with unkind eyes the whole time. For Nick, Bumi's existence, no, Nophele's existence, is a threat to the Sabbat.
Let’s not talk about the relationship between Nophele and the wizard, but consider the relationship between Nophele and Toledo. Nick could count on Zach hating all the former Secret Alliance clans, but Nofele was the only one Zach couldn't possibly hate.
You can understand this mentality like this
You and a group of people form a club, and you work together to carry out activities and develop the club. There is suffering and joy, and there are revolutionary emotions. But one day, you find that one of the key members of your club has a good friend outside your club. And it is impossible for this good friend to join your club.
It was strange that Nick looked at Bumi with kindness.
Bumi just left.
"What are you going to do with Nofele?" Nick deliberately used neutral and derogatory words to irritate Zach, "Gangro has disappeared. Shouldn't you also deal with Barton's Rimel and Nofel? It’s time.”
Zach's answer: "Okay, at next week's Sabbat meeting, let's discuss how to deal with Barton's Rimel and Nofele clans. You and Roy should prepare well, and don't ask you about your opinions like yesterday. You don’t have any opinions on how we should deal with the alien races in the Republic.”
Nick's face looked like he'd eaten shit. But he couldn't say anything more. Everyone must understand that compared to what he forced out of Zach's mouth here, which he himself didn't believe, if Nick really expected Zach to take action against Barton's secret old department, he could only do so in a formal meeting. At the Sabbat meeting, a plan was made that even Toledo could not shirk.
Nick went to think about the Sabbat meeting in a week. Let him think about it. Zach was not worried at all.
Grandzhong was very busy. Hank was preparing for his trip abroad, sitting in his room filling out various information documents. The halfway house project also had something to deal with today. The city government sent someone to deliver a document when Zach was out, asking Grande to start implementing the so-called employee psychological review protocol.
Needless to say, it was Mayor Anthony and Eisela who were deliberately looking for trouble for Zach. revenge? Boring, at best childish resistance to Zach's sudden claim to take over the city. And if Mayor Anthony is a little self-conscious, he should realize that the result of him 'pushing away' Zach for a long time is that now Mayor Anthony can use this halfway house as an excuse to find boring things to make him sick. It's over.
Zach made a call to the nursing home directly from his office, "The city government asked me to conduct regular psychological examinations for former employees of Grande. Will you take this job?"
Pochquin said, "Crazy." Ready to hang up.
"I'm giving you a chance to be an informant in Grandrian. Why didn't you seize such a good opportunity for Papa Midnight?"
The call was not hung up, "Crazy. I live next to your Grande. If I want to spy on what is going on in your home, do I need an spy?"
"Neighbor, I am here to provide you with a fair environment and allow you to go to Grand Anse in an open and honest manner. If you don't take the clean and righteous path, do you have to resort to the "peeping-peeping" method that ruins your character? .”
"What do you mean?"
"It's impossible for you not to know about Emilia's recent changes."
"Hmph, I know, you gave her the identity of a descendant of Toledo."
"So, you already have my people there, I should also have your people here, just and fair."
"Oh, how fair is this? Amelia is a specially appointed doctor in the sanatorium, and she is independent and free. Which of your employees in Grande is free? What is the use of eyeliner like that!"
"Useful Poch." Zach didn't make this call out of boredom. "Grand's employees are not free agents because they all belong to the city government's community improvement project. You also know that I don't care much about you being in a nursing home. What are you doing? Emilia’s job is not that of an informant. Emilia controls the aliens entering Barton for Toledo.” Zach gave time for Pochi to react: “At that time, I convinced you to let Emilia do it. During this alien review project, the reason used was to gain you the favor to enter the Barton alien race. Now you should also understand that the real favor is not for you, but for Toledo, who Emilia represents. Even if it is expanded, it will be expanded to today's Sabbat. Foreigners will not have any impression of you, Pochquin."
"Thanks for reminding me, I'm going to kick Amelia out of my nursing home now."
"What are you in a hurry for?" Zach waved his hand in the air, "I mean, as for aliens, you have been tricked by vampires, and the only way you can regain your position is to control these community transformation projects in Grandry. Humans in the project. I'm just glossing over the term eyeliner for you. The employees you want to control in Grande represent more than just eyeliners." He continued to give Pochi time to react, "You understand me. Do you understand?"
The current location of Grande's halfway house has been explained. Grande is the apex. In order to prevent Grande from gaining loyal human subordinates, Eisela and Anthony will control Grande's ability to control employees. As a result of the disappointing weakening, no employees in Grande can be retained and will be distributed to other companies in Barton in batches.
If we say that the alien review project carried out by Emilia is to control the aliens flowing to every corner of Barton. Grande, the current halfway house project installed by the city government, is a project to control the flow of these ex-convicts back into all walks of life.
Since the city government uses this disgusting little trick to disgust Zach, then Zach will go along with it and leave the city government with nothing! Give the control of the Halfway House to Papa Midnight's Poch!
It's exciting to think about it. Pochkun, a bad criminal who escaped the punishment of the system by relying on his background, is going to get a vote of the criminals who were "unlucky" to be caught by the system~
No one was expecting Zach to take over Barton, probably for the benefit of mankind.
Pochi was quiet on the other side of the receiver for a while, "Do you realize what your proposal will give me?"
Zach shrugged into the air, "I'm giving you a group of the most easily agitated human beings in this society. You can do whatever you want. I don't need to realize it. You just need to be careful not to be proposed this beautiful vision of the 'community transformation' project." The city government can just catch it.”
The significance of the community transformation project to society must be taken seriously here.
What a criminal. They are people who deviate from the rules of society when they first became free. They committed a crime, were punished by the system, completed their sentence, and were released from prison. How does the human system determine the punishment for criminals? The most common argument seems to be that the degree of punishment is equated with the degree of the crime. Punishment serves to atone for sin. Multiple crimes are the level of cumulative punishment in the legal process.
It seems that the punishment of the human system can only correspond to crimes that have been recognized in the system. It seems that there is a box in human society. Once you step into this box, you are a criminal and you will receive the corresponding punishment.
The problem is that this frame will become ineffective. When the time comes, the government in the human system will no longer spend time and money to frame criminals in it. It throws people out, outside the box.
During the time the criminal spent in the box, did he reflect on his sins and change the reasons that put him in that box in the first place
This question is like what the world after death will be like. You won’t know until you die. So, no matter what, the criminal becomes an ex-criminal and is thrown back into society.
Community rehabilitation is a buffer like a patch. It creates a place that is not completely free like society, but does not want to be completely constrained like prison, allowing those who have just stepped out of the box to adapt.
Speaking of which, what exactly is adaptation? You don’t need to be tolerant to people who have already made mistakes. Are you adapting to a reformed life, or are you adapting to being more careful not to step into the system
Grande already had an answer when she took on the job at a halfway house before.
There are ex-criminals who were assigned work tasks by Grande and went to the West to promote privatization. There are also ex-criminals who threatened reporters in Grande and committed crimes again!
Community renovation projects have been given too heavy... 'expectations'. Is not it. The prison only deals with the punishment prescribed by the system, it is just atonement! But what the halfway house faces is the real test!
How can a patch in the social system that was created just because of the political reputation manipulation left over from the previous mayoral campaign? How can it bear such a heavy responsibility? To make this realistic joke even more ridiculous, the owner of this halfway house is a vampire.
Pochi, "Aren't you afraid that I will lure these people to witchcraft and become Papa Midnight's dead disciples? Eventually they will be scattered in every corner of Barton?".
"Then the Dead Apostles can walk onto the streets of Barton? The sight is quite spectacular~" Zach said with an indifferent attitude.
"*!" Pochi swore, "Just tell me! What are you thinking?! Why do I think you have a conspiracy when you just give me someone like this?!"
"Haha." Zach smiled, "I don't blame you. I do have a conspiracy~" Uh, admitted it? "Well, I can tell you that I am very unhappy with the sudden increase in workload that the city government has given Grande, and I am unhappy with Anthony's attitude of not accepting reality." Zach's smile disappeared, "This city is mine. Everyone had better wake up and accept this fact quickly. All those who refuse to accept the facts will be punished. And I have various means of punishment. Now, here is a measure I picked up at hand . Used to punish the human government that wants to cause trouble for me. I’m taking advantage of you, Pochquin. I’d like to ask you one last question, do you want to answer it?” Zach shrugged his shoulders, and his voice paused in the movement to leave a blank space, which can be accurately He conveyed Zach's current attitude to Boqi on the other side of the receiver, "Apart from you, I now have several more feasible plans in my mind. If you don't want it, I'll give it to others..."
"Wait a minute!" Pochquin shouted over there.
Zach heard the receiver being lowered. Did Pochquin go find someone to discuss it? Who could he turn to? Is Papa Midnight in a nursing home now
Zach didn’t think much about it, Zach wasn’t in a hurry.
Pochi didn't let Zach wait too long, "Okay, I'll take it!"
"Okay." Zach didn't waste any time. "I will send you the information from the city government in a moment. From now on, you will submit the psychological reports of employees at the halfway house to the city government." Zach just said bluntly, Isn't it, just to let Barton's human government know that Grande handed over the mental state of a group of ex-convicts to Pochquin, who has the most suspicious mental state in Barton!
After putting down the phone, Zach meditated for a while, fed the baby Adam, and told Bain about the arrangements for future living area employees to go to the nursing home for psychological examinations. By the way, he got the baby stroller they no longer needed from Bain. Bain sent such things to his bedroom...
After finishing the ink, Zach sent the city government's information to the nursing home.
However, Hank took the rare initiative to get in front of Zach and said, "You 'sold' Grande's employees, and I left Grande to investigate the origin of vampires. Ethela is in Barton, working for the second generation of the Sabbat. What should I do if Sembula obtains information about me, the second-generation Lesembula?”
It's really rare that Hank is finally thinking about this kind of thing. It should be yesterday's Sabbat meeting that made Hank feel something. If he had not pretended not to see it, it wouldn't have happened...
"Aisela's position will be awkward, but since she chose to sit beside the mayor as a Lesembra vampire and get involved in Lesembra's struggle for power, she is prepared to be thrown away as an outcast at any time. , believe me, this is a good thing for her."
"Why?"
"Do you care about Esera? I thought you hated women, well, in the broadest sense."
"I just don't want Grande to be a mess when I come back!"
"Okay. Ethela is very smart. She became a vampire, received Hamilton's blood, and became Lesenbra of Root blood. It was forced. Remember, Frank ordered it, and Ethela didn't resist Frank at all. Ability. However, Ethela does not do anything for others, but for herself. She understands that as someone else's pawn, she has no future at all, and she is still a fourth-generation Lesembula. She must really consider herself. , will take this opportunity to fill the vacancy of the Sabbat vampire at Allen Funeral. Being used as a pawn to obtain information about you, an old man, is not as good as directly obtaining my movements at the Barton Sabbat meeting~ The former, She will always be a chess piece, and the latter, she can climb up, whether it is in the Sabbat or in front of Mayor Barton, do you understand~"
