Nuo, who was holding the receiver, smiled and said, "Yes, it's time to say goodbye." He glanced at Zach. Zach nodded, and Nuo continued to tell the person on the other side of the receiver the address, which was Grand Mill in the South District. Before Neil and Delphine leave Barton, their brother meets the two one last time.
After hanging up the phone, Nuo looked at Zach and stood up with a smile, "Let's go, I will make sure that Quest gives you the check you deserve." This was a joke.
Zach waved and smiled, stood up, and pushed Mason out of the bar's general room.
The driver was still Mason, heading south. When he left the southeast and entered Ixton, Nuo looked around curiously. Of course, he couldn't see anything.
Zach looked out the car window. The dilapidated buildings were blocking the blue sky (Ixton was close to the sea). The occasional bright red light was stuck between the houses. Zach knew that the battle between the demon and the hunter was still going on. middle. Zach was not in a hurry to help. This was just a surprise and inexplicable Crowley who got the 'Colt', testing the strength of the hunters in a small way.
Zach was ready to wait for Crowley to test her enough and take the initiative to ask for his help.
Driving out of Ixton, continuing to the southwest, and approaching Route 27, we arrived at the mill.
Lyon stood outside the mill, facing the direction of Ixton, with a worried expression. Surprisingly, Mike is here too. It was not unusual for these two demons in the South District to visit each other, but Zach was helpless. After Mike moved away from Crowley, he did not come to Grande, but came here first.
After stopping the car, the three of them got out of the car. The two demons retracted their gaze in the northeast direction, and their gaze only stayed on Zach for a moment. I was attracted to Mason.
Concern turned to sadness, as the two had discovered that Seth was no longer in the container. While their hands crossed their chests, they closed their eyes, bowed their heads and remained silent.
Nuo saw the actions of the two people. The detective was very smart and looked at Zach with questioning eyes. Zach smiled helplessly and nodded. This was a positive answer to Nuo's inquiry, and he took Nuo directly to the basement of the mill.
At the end of the basement, in a room also filled with debris, beside two simple folding beds, Madison looked after two young couples who were still sleeping.
"They woke up once." Madison glanced at Zach. Although he didn't know Nuo, since it was Zach who brought him, there was no need to avoid anything. "It's very noisy. Asking questions we don't know, Leon thinks If it’s troublesome, let them sleep again.”
Zach nodded and spread his hands towards No.
"Well." Madison knew that Nuo must have come to pick up the two people, so he explained a little, "Their clothes." He pointed to the cardboard box beside him, "Basically everyone in the South District knows about the fire in the west nursing home. Yes. So. Well, I changed their clothes."
"You did a good job." Zach smiled and patted Madison. "You can go up. Someone will be here soon. Quest, take him down."
Madison nodded and left, still wearing his beret. Zach paid attention to his hair. The boundaries between black and white have begun to blur before. Except for this special two-color situation, the fading of color means that the events that affect the future have ended, or that something has become a foregone conclusion.
Zach shook his head helplessly. Madison's ability is too weak. At a time when so many events were happening in parallel, Zach really couldn't figure out what changed the future.
"How to wake them up?" Nuo was a little confused and looked at the two people.
Zach did not answer directly, but patted Nuo, "We still have things to do before letting them wake up."
Nuo raised his eyebrows and sighed helplessly. Yes, remember, there is a very high chance that Neil and Daphne took the initiative to become Smith's hostage. This means that no matter how thorough Quest's plan is, if these two people don't cooperate, everything will be meaningless.
"I know, it may be inappropriate to ask like this." Nuo looked at Zach, with a smile and helplessness on his face, "But, can you use your red eye thing to do something that a vampire can do. "
Zach curled his lips, "I can." He looked into Nuo's eyes, "But this is a shortcut. Do you want a shortcut?"
Some things must be made clear. Even if Zach has a crush on Nuo, the two already have enough trust and understanding in their short contact. But compared to the childish relationship with James, the emotional foundation with Anthony is already very solid. No and Zach's relationship remains tenuous.
It's a bit like Louise. A momentary decision made the relationship between the two take a completely different direction. Zach decided to leave the choice to the other party. Ultimately, Zach was just 'a helper's helper' in Quest's commission.
Nuo looked into Zach's eyes, frowned and thought, and after a while, he spoke, "Quest will not listen to anything these two people say, he will only want the results he wants, and he will only control Ni. Er, do what he thinks is right."
For a controlling guy, this is to be expected. So this is Nuo explaining to Zach that Quest will not deal with the private relationship between Neil and Smith, but will only forcefully deny and reject such things, forcing them to leave Barton.
Nuo paused for a while and continued, "My original plan was to deceive." He smiled helplessly at Zach, "No matter what, get the two of them out and send them out." There was a strange expression on his face, "In In Iowa, I have arranged for people to watch them thoroughly." He curled his lips, "Isolation would be more appropriate. You know Iowa, it is mainly about agriculture. I found a small city and many farms. It’s a lot like the South Side enlarged. So…”
Zach nodded understandingly, so it meant illegal imprisonment...
"If you can really change their memories like you said." Nuo's tone was a little strange. He inexplicably remembered that he was tied to a chair, and half of the vampire's face was stained red with blood, showing himself 's true appearance.
Nuo frowned and shook his head to throw away the scene, "You are doing them a favor and giving him a chance to truly live with another identity." Nuo paused again, "This is not a shortcut, this is a better way. .”
Zach raised his eyebrows. It was clear that Nokia was distorting the facts, but Zach actually wanted to be convinced!
Let's face it. Who is Quest? Everyone knows it. He was not a victim of Smith's persecution. Think of it this way, if Mrs. Quinn's project to promote something medically useful is successful, Quest is blocking the opportunity for countless wounded service members to find comfort. Quest is a 'bad guy' through and through!
In terms of the whole situation, Quist is such a bad guy. In terms of his personal character alone, he is even worse! Everyone knows that this guy is on the blacklist in the gray professional circle. Even guys like James are dissatisfied with Quest's desire for control.
on this commission. This desire for control is even more obvious. Nuo had already stated his arrangements outside of Barton. After receiving the commission, he unabashedly described his arrangements in accordance with Quest's instructions as 'isolation'. Obviously Quest had no intention of peacefully resolving the problem with his brother, but decided to forcibly restrict Neil's freedom.
To put it nicely, it’s protection; to put it harshly, it’s just Quest and Quest’s desire to control.
Zach nodded, convinced.
"No matter what I say next." Zach decided that it was necessary to remind him, "Don't take it seriously."
No nodded. He still remembered what the vampire said to his maid, "This is all a dream."
The vampire pinched Neil Quest's nose, and then covered his mouth. Soon, the sleeping guy woke up due to lack of oxygen! Please don't imitate.
Neil's mouth opened wide and he breathed heavily, his wide eyes filled with red. When I just woke up and wanted to struggle to sit up, I just lay down on the simple folding bed. The vampire in front of him looked familiar.
"We meet again, Neil." The vampire smiled and pulled up a wooden chair and sat down. Both times it was the other person in bed, what a coincidence.
"You, you are..." Neil frowned. He was no longer crazy and confused, only confused.
"We've met before. We also chatted, don't you remember?" Zach said casually, "It's okay, look over there." Zach pointed to Delphine on the other bed, "Daphne There. You're safe."
"I..." Neil's eyes moved, and he seemed to remember that this scene was too similar to the pool suite in Quest Manor, "You are the person who came to help last time, uh, where is this place?" ?Wait, fire!”
Neil suddenly became excited. He was about to sit up when Zach pushed him back. Obviously, this guy's memory began to completely return to his newly awakened mind. He remembered the last conversation he had with Zach in the middle of the conversation, and also remembered the fire in the nursing home.
"I told you, you are safe now."
"Is it safe?" Neil's eyes were uncertain.
Zach smiled, "Yes, it's safe."
Uncertainty disappearing, Zach continued, but he asked, "Do you want to protect Delphine?"
"What?" Neil, who had just relaxed, became nervous again, "She is in danger?! What danger?!"
Zach shrugged. For this young man, Zach was already very familiar with how to bypass the rejection in his brain. Just use Daphne, how convenient, "Smith..."
"Impossible!" Before Zach could finish speaking, Neil shouted, "We have a deal! He won't..."
Zach stopped Neil's words, "Look around and think about it, are you sure Smith won't hurt you?"
In Neil's mind, there was fire in the thick black smoke, and in the sharp whistling, a life-or-death voice repeated, 'This is not a drill... '
Zach did not give Neil more time to recall, and used a helpless tone, "You know your brother, he will not back down. No matter what method Smith uses, your brother will stick to his decision. You know what I said is right. "Yeah." Zach looked into Neil's eyes.
Confusion began to appear on Neil's face as his brain processed the information and added the facts highlighted by the enchanting pupil to the necessary conditions for his deduction of everything.
"This is a small signal from Smith..." Zach looked at Neil with a puzzled tone, "Is it?"
Zach no longer needed to use the Charming Eyes to implant any false things. Looking at Neil's suddenly widened eyes, he knew that his brain under the gaze of the Charming Eyes had already reached the wrong conclusion.
The vampire didn't need to go around like this. He could just use the Charming Eyes to implant a false decision and make Neil obey.
But Zach himself doesn't know why. Instead of using the charm pupil directly on Myona when his whole body was covered with blood, he is now very 'gentle'. Maybe it's because of his different image, at least now, Zach is neatly dressed.
There is no need to emphasize anything, this 'red eye' that only uses half of its functions has fulfilled its purpose.
The vampire patted Neil's shoulder comfortingly, and the redness in his eyes faded, "Do you want Daphne to be in such danger?"
Neil shook his head vigorously, "No!" He wanted to say something else, but Zach stopped him.
Zach turned around and glanced at Nuo, who was thoughtful, and nodded, "I'll leave the rest to you." (..)
