Zach adjusted his mood, put on an interrogating expression, left the office, and went to find Annabelle.
Republic Alien and Zager. How could Zach ignore the intelligence master who was "working" for Grand downstairs and let Louise work on the Republic alone!
Lily looked at Zach's face and seemed to predict that something interesting would happen, so she followed Zach.
Behind the counter in the showroom, Annabell watched Zach approach, put down the funeral documents that he was sorting out, and looked like she was ready to be questioned by Zach.
Before both parties could say the first words, a white cat appeared on the counter and said "Meow~" to Annabelle.
I don’t know what it meant. Then, the white cat disappeared.
Zach was confused for a moment. When he saw the slight change in Annabel's eyes after being mewed by the white cat, the confusion turned into irritation, "What other unpleasant things did you exchange again!"
Annabell didn't answer, but raised her finger and pointed behind Zach.
Zach turned around and his eyes met Pucci who had appeared in Grande at some point. He had no time to express his shock. He only saw Pucci wave his hand, and the five fingers spread out in the empty air. One catch.
The closed fingers did not close into a fist, but held something strangely empty.
Still not having time to ask questions, Zach felt the air around him tremble slightly, as if something was being squeezed out of the air. Subconsciously, he pulled Lily behind him, and at the same time, he silently glanced at Annabell, who was "consciously" sticking behind him.
"Show up" Pucci didn't speak to Zach, but what he held in his hand said, "Correction, it's a command!"
Zach felt the air complete a displacement in an instant. Every tip of the vampire's hair felt this inexplicable sense of space pushing!
A thing that does not belong to this world was pulled into this world by Pucci's empty hand!
Zach felt that strange air displacement, and he had become possessed by Maitreya in a new world, reappearing in Grande's exhibition hall in his physical human form! ! Well, strictly speaking, Pucci pinched his neck and pinned him to the ground...
Zach dropped all the unimportant questions, "Pucci, Sam!"
Pucci glanced at Zach when he had time, nodded slightly, raised his other free hand, and flicked Miroku's forehead as he struggled to get away...
Bo~
A phantom popped up from the back of Maitreya's head like a ball. In mid-air, the phantom stretched out. Sam's figure gradually became clearer, but he did not immediately return to Zach after appearing. Floating in the air, looking at the world around him in confusion, as if he couldn't confirm where he was.
"Sam!" Zach called to the floating Sam.
Sam still reacted. He turned his whole body in the air and looked at Zach. He was still confused. Sam didn't seem to remember Zach.
Zach frowned and looked at Maitreya, who was still suppressed by Pucci, "What did you do to Sam!" His eyes were already red, and Zach was not in the mood to use Toledo-style social talk.
However, Miroku didn't answer, and probably couldn't answer with his neck being held tightly. It was Pucci who answered Zach, briefly but reassuringly, "It will take some time to get used to it and you will be back to normal."
Then, Pucci glanced at Maitreya. At this moment, there seemed to be a trace of regret on the face of the True God of the Republic. Pucci spoke, "Farewell, Maitreya."
It was not an auditory hallucination. Zach heard rolling thunder, and in this midsummer day, it was not an illusion caused by emotions. The air around him was becoming dull and depressing inexplicably at a strange speed.
Zach only took half a second to react and immediately took a step forward, "Wait a minute! Pucci..."
"At least go to a deserted place and use Thunder Tribulation. Ordinary people still live here." This sentence that interrupted Zach came from Annabell behind Zach.
Zach wrinkled his face and glanced sideways at Annabell. At this time, the countess once again showed off her knowledge of the gods of the Republic, showing the traces of her life in the Republic. With Zach's current mood, haha, as everyone knows, Zach has taught him well by not directly cursing people.
Pucci also glanced at Annabelle, and did not let his gaze stay for long. His eyes returned to Maitreya. The hand holding Maitreya's neck seemed to pull hard.
Maitreya's already struggling body felt as if all the nerves had been removed from his body, and his whole body went limp as if his bones had been removed.
Then Pucci carried Maitreya, who was already like a cloth bag, and turned around, as if he was about to leave, as Annabelle said, to a deserted place... to obliterate Maitreya's existence.
"Wait a minute!" Zach listened to the increasingly noisy thunder outside the eaves of Grande, and felt the increasingly humid and oppressive air. "Maitreya cannot be obliterated by the laws of the world yet!" Sheila's commission to Benjamin, "You should bring Maitreya goes to the ancestors' office!"
Pucci had turned around, but still turned around after Zach finished speaking and looked at Zach, "Toledo, you don't understand the current situation. Maitreya did not reappear in this world voluntarily. He has been too deeply possessed. There is a huge gap between the time in the present world and I am completely lost in the past time and immersed in the world of demons." Maitreya's gaze paused on Annabelle, "This time he appeared in this world, it was your friend who brought him to this world. Pulled back to the present world.”
Zach wrinkled his face again and glanced back at Annabelle.
Amid the increasingly urgent thunder, Pucci, a god who never liked to talk, seemed to have no choice but to explain the situation as quickly as possible, "Now is the only chance to obliterate the false truth represented by Maitreya from the world. If we let go this time, If we pass him, he may not appear in this world in any form again, and even I will no longer be able to catch him."
There is much worth investigating in Pucci's words.
Like Annabelle's friend in his mouth. Who brought Maitreya back to the world? This is a question Zach doesn't know now, but we should. It's a white cat. Remember, the bargaining chip for White Cat to manipulate Maitreya to kidnap Sam is that he can help Maitreya escape from the possessed world and return to the living world.
For example, Pucci, who directly admitted the limits of his abilities in his words, is the only god among the gods of the Republic who has the means to deal with demonic aliens. What is his real power? What's the two-letter word 'show up'?
But now, Zach didn't have time to pursue any questions. He could only say, "No matter what, Maitreya is an employee of the Ancestors Office. If you want to execute a person who has obtained legal citizenship on federal soil, you need to work with him." Barton Alpha communication." Tsk, Zach was quite helpless, and he actually wanted to use Benjamin's disgusting words as his current theoretical basis. But Zach also had something to say of his own, "I asked you for help to save Sam, not to obliterate a person. I do not know the theory of your Republican gods, but for me, I at least know I don’t like seeing someone murder Barton citizens in front of me, even if you are a god.”
Silence lasted for a while.
But what made Zach relax was that during the silence, the thunder outside the eaves of Grande disappeared.
"The Alpha of our ancestors office has already found Ravenqi. Papa and I knew about Sheila's death and Sheila's last wish at midnight." Pucci still held Maitreya like a cloth bag in his hand, "If I bring I followed Maitreya to the ancestors' office. For the sake of a smooth future with Papa Midnight's subordinates, I will let Maitreya go and let Maitreya turn back into the false truth and return to the world of demons." Pucci paused, "Vampire, Do you know that Maitreya's possessed world is now just a period... According to your federation's understanding, it is the reappearance of death within the soul. The cycle has no beginning and end, but with the real material of Sheila's body, the closed cycle will be recorded As the world changes (just as the soul-expanding time loop does not reset the hunger of the vampire trapped within it), the concept of time is born, and then, once the loop is broken, everything is born. That will be true creation. .”
Pucci turned his whole body and walked towards Zach, "Zachary Toledo, let me explain it to you more clearly. If this happens, this will become the first person born on the timeline because of your choice. Two worlds.”
the second? Yes, the first one is the world of the Holy Lord.
Pucci looked at Zach, who had a strange look on his face, "Zachary Toledo, will creating new worlds become your new hobby?"
My love for this world and my hobby of creating new worlds... You can see the contradiction here.
"You're talking as if I know that my choice will create a new world!" Zach looked directly at Pucci without fear. Zach is right, Zach doesn’t know that fulfilling Ms. West’s last wish is equivalent to making the creation of the Holy Lord a reality! If Pucci didn't explain, Zach would be even less likely to know that fulfilling Sheila's last wish would allow the demon Maitreya to create a new world!
"This is my concern." Pucci also looked at Zach, "If you know that at least in the vampire race, I, and Papa Midnight's worldview are unified now, we can ask you to restrain your bad hobby. But The problem is, you don’t know what your choices will lead to. Still, you seem to have a habit of making such choices. This makes... "This is the only time this Republic God said this to Zach. Haha, it’s not a good thing. "Gives me a headache."
*! Zach is Toledo, he will not be suppressed by a god so easily
There was no sign of surrender on Zach's face, "No, the real headache is not that you, a god, have to be controlled by my choices." There was actually a smile on the corner of Zach's mouth, "You don't have to Listen to me and kill Maitreya now, right?" Zach also moved a little closer to Pucci, "Then, why do you have to stop and listen to me?"
The answer is above. Pucci has already answered it. It is to allow Papa Midnight's subordinates, Ravenchi, to stand firm in Barton. Don't forget about the candidate to replace Sheila and the body of Sheila is going to the world of Maitreya. The principle of the ancestors' office In other words, it is a binding transaction!
Rock, paper, scissors, no one is above everything else. And our Toledo created a situation where all of this was restricted.
Zach feels that he has brought the definition of Toledo to a whole new level. Toledo has the ability to deal with God!
Pucci has disappeared and will probably never talk much in front of Toledo again. Good thing~
