Danny's explanation of Shadow Man continuing the life of a dying person inspired Zach. The vampire held a pen and the white paper was placed on the open rule book. He quickly wrote and drew, designing a trap that could reflect the sacrifice of life.
Adventurers' life sacrifices will directly add health to their enemies. Zach looked at his design with satisfaction, and then rummaged through the rule book to see if doing so was against the rules. Zach, who has only played the game three times, is an absolute novice.
Zach felt happy. This was a good start. He had an idea. He disassembled, transformed, and integrated the real alien races into the game, so that he had countless ideas. Maybe he will become a great dungeon master!
The door to the back porch was pushed open and Seth knocked on the wall, attracting the attention of the Grande family.
This guy, who came to the Grand House for the second time, honestly entered through the main entrance, which is the coffin display area. I didn't see a single creature all the way to the office, and then went straight to the back porch.
"Seth!" Zach was a little surprised. He was so focused in thinking that he didn't notice that there was already a guest in the Grand House. The vampire curled his lips. He seemed a little too involved in this game, "You're out!"
Seth raised the hand holding the paper bag, but his eyes were on Dylan floating in front of Zach. Seth frowned, not knowing what he was thinking.
Zach looked at the paper bag wrapped in the same package as the 'General's' gift last time, smiled and shook his head. It makes sense for the 'General' to be able to safely blend in Nuo's circle. This guy is really impeccable. Even though Zach had emphasized at the party that Grande had no role in Seth's matter, 'General' still asked the person to come to thank him in person, and with this kind of private visit, Zach really Can't say no.
Zach closed the rule book. Walking indoors, he reluctantly accepted the gift from Seth, looked at this guy who probably didn't intend to speak, and asked, "Do you want to come in and sit for a while, or go back directly. Or go see Constantine?"
Zach smiled, Seth's silent vampire was already very familiar with it, and he would never speak if the topic didn't get to the part that concerned him. So there is the option of the latter sentence about Constantine.
"Been there." Seth glanced at Grande, the emotion in his eyes seemed to be disappointment.
Zach raised his eyebrows, watching Seth follow him into the office, and realized that this guy had something to say. And Zach can already make a rough guess.
Constantine goes to the prison for worship every week, and the awkward separation from Seth that he once had has obviously been broken due to the special environment of the prison. Anyway, I have already seen them in the prison auditorium. It would be meaningless to deliberately exclude visits.
Zach sat down at the desk, poured out some snacks in front of the devil, and said with a smile, "Whatever you want to say, just say it."
"I want you to protect him." Seth frowned, staring at the vampire.
"He has never been as safe as he is now." Zach tilted his head with a natural smile, "Didn't you go there? Although they are all low-level demons, there are enough in Barton City. No one can Hurt him."
Seth's frown deepened, this was the danger. He knew the vampire was deliberately irritating him.
"Okay Seth." Zach shook his head and decided not to irritate the demon anymore, "You should be grateful to Constantine for doing this. He is protecting you. Integrate into Crowley's power. If you do something to piss off Crowley, Leigh's matter. He has the ability to influence Crowley's judgment."
"I don't need such protection!" Seth glared at Zach.
"You need it." Zach smiled, "You are a demon living in Barton City. Whether you are happy or unhappy, you represent the group of demons. If you continue to do things that damage the image of the devil in Barton City, you will Laurie will eventually clear you out.”
Yes. The biggest reason for Crowley's kindness to Seth, which can even be said to be laissez-faire, is that Seth is a demon. Think about the previous rescue of Seth, a demon imprisoned in a human prison, well, Crowley was also very helpless.
On the taut forehead, blue-grey blood vessels stood out. If you look closely, this guy seems to have lost a lot of weight. It seems that two weeks in prison is not very pleasant. This is caused by the fact that the demon's original soul has not been replenished, and the container's body has not received enough food nutrients in the prison.
But of course this will not have any impact on Seth's actions. As long as he honestly doesn't fight with aliens, eats well, and only carries out ordinary life activities, with his immortal demon soul, he can maintain it until the world is destroyed.
Seth's face showed a trace of disgust. "You have to protect him," he repeated, staring into Zach's eyes.
Zach blinked, being looked at like this made the vampire feel helpless.
"If anything happens, I will help." Zach could only curl his lips, "After all, Constantine is a very good neighbor."
Seth's frown relaxed a little, and he fell silent again, but he had no intention of leaving.
Zach pursed his lips, cleaned the blood from his lips, and looked helplessly at the silent guy in front of him. It's really tiring to talk to such a person. Not only is it like beating a wall with a ghost, but judging from his thinking expression, you know that he still has something to say, but you don't have the slightest clue to let the other person speak.
Well, Seth was thinking about whether to tell Zach about a certain hunter as a thank you for his promise to take care of Constan. But the demon hunter didn't really want to remind Grande, who was full of foreign races, that he felt very complicated. Even Zach, who was staring, became impatient.
"What else do you want to say..."
The phone rang, and Zach looked at Seth and curled his lips, "You were saved by the phone." He picked up the receiver.
"I need help." James' calm voice came out.
Zach was in a happy mood, and decided to get his frustration back from Seth, from James. The tone was high, "James! You need my help? I am now officially your informant? Although I am honored, what is the benefit to me?"
"Be serious." James on the receiver was obviously not in a high mood and said calmly, "I can't give you any benefits." He was straightforward enough, "Only the Barton Police Department and me are grateful like this."
Frustration and satisfaction coexist.
Zach pursed his lips, and the calm James put the vampire in no mood to joke. This is frustration. As for satisfaction, it is not a bad thing to become a police detective's informant. Zach is not a criminal. Coulson's disdain for the 'general' status does not exist here in Grand. The relationship between the two is equality and mutual assistance. James once believed that Grande should serve voluntarily. There is an essential difference. This is what Zach wants to see.
"Barton Police Department?" Zach noticed James' wording. The vampire just needs James' thanks, so let's forget it, the police department. Zach asked, "What happened?"
"A police officer is missing." James seemed to be thinking as he spoke, obviously not wanting to reveal too much information. "We received an anonymous call last night about gunshots in the southeast. We want to find out what happened. , I hope you can find out from the 'General'. Is there any connection."
Zach held the receiver and glanced at Seth, who was obviously eavesdropping. "Is Coulson working on the case with you? Why doesn't he ask?"
This is a reasonable question. Zach needs to know what the police think. If Coulson can't ask in order to avoid conflict, it means that the police's judgment is closer to the disappearance of the police officer and the gang. The vampire is very smart, he quickly thought of this, he needs to use this as a breakthrough to deal with the possible answer of the 'general'. Why? The favor must be returned! Of course, the 'General's' gift was not given in vain. If the disappearance of the police officers is really related to gangs, then Zach is not only James' informant, but also the 'General's' informant!
Although there was some trouble, Zach believed that the 'General' would not cause such trouble again not long after Seth's incident happened. So Zach doesn't have to worry about being caught between friends.
The receiver sighed, "Don't ask me what you have already thought of. And we are not suitable to appear in the 'general' place now."
It was true, once Coulson walked into the General's bar, he would be noticed whether the General revealed the information or not.
Zach nodded, accepting this acquiescence, "Then wait a moment, Seth is here, I will get back to you after I finish asking."
James' irritated hum came from the receiver, "No need. Go back to my answering machine at home."
Bye.
Zach emptied the glass, put it aside, smiled at Seth, "Sorry, I couldn't introduce you."
He was very curious about the evil taste of vampires. Although James was extremely disgusted with demons, how would he feel about this demon hunter? After all, the only time the two crossed paths was when James witnessed Seth kill one of Crowley's demons. Have you discovered the pitfalls
Seth frowned and said nothing.
Zach waved his hand boredly, "You heard it, then tell me, do you know anything?"
"Last night, I heard gunshots." Seth glanced at Zach, and his previous thoughts were forgotten. What he was thinking was, 'Answering these can be regarded as repaying Grande's feelings for Constantine. It's a favor. As for the hunter, just keep silent. It's so convenient.
"I'm not sure it was a gunshot." Seth corrected, "At the general's rest stop, everyone was celebrating our release from prison. It was very noisy. There was only one sound, and it was very far away."
"Then." Zach was a little surprised that Seth answered so freely, but since the other party cooperated, Zach was not interested in exploring the other party's psychology, "Didn't you go out to confirm?"
"Confirmation of what?" Seth frowned, "How do I explain that I heard a voice five blocks away?"
The vampire made an embarrassing mistake and quickly progressed to the next link, "So the 'general' doesn't know the situation either, right?"
Five streets, two bars on one street, and a distance of ten bars. For the gangs in Barton City, the span of this 'territory' is really quite big...
"I haven't seen it, but there are rumors. Go ask him yourself." Seth showed a bored expression on his face. "If you think the rumors are unreliable, why don't you ask Crowley."
Zach raised an eyebrow. (..)
