There have been voices outside the house, and the investigation that has been temporarily put on hold due to the investigation of the nursing home has officially begun. Zach opened the curtains with one hand and watched the scattered policemen in police uniforms walking by, surveying the scene. There was impatience on their faces, which seemed to indicate that the case here would go unsolved, and the current actions were just a formality.
This will be inevitable. Because the Southern District Police Department has a "witness who witnessed the entire case", and this witness is also a police officer from the Northern District. The policeman was on 'leave' because he needed to move due to family reasons, and he happened to witness the whole incident of this vicious group fight.
I won’t repeat the details, as Walter’s narrative is messy and unorganized. All we need to know is that Chapman has been put into use by Crowley.
Zach lowered the curtains and Walter said a lot. At this time, the sunlight was already starting to be a little dazzling.
Zach turned to Walter and smiled, "So, where do you want to move? Are you leaving Barton? I'm going to miss you."
"Tsk." The wind leaked. Walter glanced at Zach with disgust, "West End. The South and North Ends have been messed up by you! The West End is relatively safe, I want to go to the West End!"
Zach nodded. Barton may no longer be as stable as before, but with aliens like Grande and Crowley who do not exist for chaos, it is still much better than other cities.
Zach asked no more questions and waved to Dylan, who had always been gloomy. "Remember to tell us your new address after you settle down. We will visit."
Walt pushed Zach out the door.
The sudden brightness made the vampire uncomfortable. He blocked the sun with his arms as he stepped out of the front porch.
Walter failed to tell what Zach was interested in. He did not find any soul-state Indian wizards in the battle between the two sides.
Yesterday's battle was not large in scale, with more than a dozen people on both sides, but it lasted for a long time. Zach could not confirm whether the escaped wizard did not make peace with the hunters at all, or whether he had made peace but just did not show up.
What Walter said about these hunters was not simply the truth. To know. In this trial battle, Crowley was the one in ambush, and the hunters were just the ones invited to trade. Under such circumstances, although it was confirmed that Crowley would not use any high-level demons to test, a dozen of them humans were actually able to continue fighting against the ambushing demons. And it is not easy to cause losses to the devil!
Occasionally, the police who discovered Zach came up and asked about his identity. Zach answered with a smile, nodding at the sudden change of polite tone of the other person, enjoying the feeling of superiority.
When leaving Ixton, Zach discovered that the person standing guard was changed to Wes.
"Going on a mission so soon?" Zach smiled and patted Wes on the shoulder.
Wes turned around with a tired face and was stunned when he saw it was Zach. Subconsciously looking at Ixton behind him, there was a special look in his eyes, and he frowned, "Glan... Zach, why are you here?"
Zach raised his eyebrows, he was such a quick-responsive guy, "You are right, this is done by aliens. It's demons and hunters."
Wes opened his mouth. He nodded and said no more.
Zach became interested. "Don't you ask what's going on? James doesn't know what's going on here, and he can't tell you."
Wes glanced at Zach and said expressionlessly, "I'm just a 'janitor', why are you asking."
Zach tilted his head and smiled. What a practical guy. "You look very tired. Is it hard to be a police officer?" He seemed to be making small talk.
There was a trace of exploration in Wes's eyes. He looked at Zach and slowed down his speech, "Yesterday. I worked as a janitor in a nursing home all afternoon."
The smile on Zach's face grew wider, he already understood Wes's intention. Weiss is confirming the boundaries. Obviously, some of the cases in Barton will have something to do with aliens. Weiss is confirming the boundaries of whether he should intervene.
Zach laughed and said, "I was visiting a friend when the fire happened. I hope those people are okay."
Weiss nodded and used a casual tone, "The people who died in the fire have been identified and their families have been notified. Several patients and staff are missing. We are still tracking and investigating the cause of the fire."
Zach shook his head as if regretfully, but kept his smile, "Poor man."
Weiss had already received it, nodded and said no more.
Zach took a serious look at Wes, patted his shoulder, and sat in his old car. It seemed like a deliberate explanation, and he smiled at Wes, "These days, I need to act alone, so I drove this car."
Wes smiled and waved, indicating that he understood. Zach was explaining that he didn't buy the car for any special purpose. When he bought the car, he really didn't know who Wes was.
As soon as the car turned, Dylan finally asked the question he had been holding back, why did Zach give up so easily and asked Walter to help.
Zach took the steering wheel and drove in the direction of the mill. He organized his words and began to explain to Dylan.
When we arrived at the mill, Zach was truly the only one in the old car. Whether Dylan agrees with Zach's explanation or not, this is a fact. There's no way Walter could help and risk offending Crowley, and even if he did, it would be almost impossible to find Seth.
Several unfamiliar cars were parked outside the mill, and inside the mill, Page was already busy. Voices came from Madison's office. Zach 'eavesdropped' for a while, it was the family members of those who died in the fire. It seemed that they came directly from the police station and arrived at the mill.
When Grande and the Southern District Police Department formally signed a contract to cooperate, it was Anthony who allocated the funds to improve the identification facilities of the Southern District Police Department. Zach chose the mill in a close location to facilitate cooperation. Now it seems that it is indeed very useful. The family members of these victims have probably confirmed the identity of the deceased and come to the nearest mill for quick follow-up...
You know, turning to ashes and remaining in a miserable charred state of being frozen makes it easy for these grieving families to make the right choice.
Zach lost interest after listening for a while. Madison's work performance was rigid and boring, but unexpectedly suited the funeral industry.
Because it was a fire, the connection between the soul imprint and the body was burned away, and the soul that lost its support would be unable to maintain its existence in this world and disappear invisible. According to Indian beliefs, it means returning to nature and returning to heaven and earth.
The demon Leon who specializes in harvesting souls here has no use. He is sitting in the corridor, chatting with Mason who lives here temporarily.
Zach tilted his head and leaned to the side with interest, listening to the conversation between the demon container and the demon. Occasionally tease the new addition to the mill, a giant black dog. That's right, it's a Cerberus, or a physical Cerberus.
It seems that Crowley has settled into her own container, and her full power has allowed the creature in the gap to take on a physical form.
Of course, the most important thing is that Crowley can completely command these stupid guys with low IQs. In the past, they would not be able to receive slightly more complicated instructions and would just wander around Barton without any goal, hunting souls indiscriminately, thinking they could please their master.
It's just that Cerberus didn't seem to like Zach's teasing very much. He looked at Zach with aggrieved black eyes that were infinitely cuter and smarter than Jin, and asked him not to poke his forehead.
Zach was happy to see this scene. The hellhounds were restrained. At least it would not happen again like Dylan's unlucky chance of running into a hellhound. You know, if Dylan hadn't been forcibly sent to hell by the Cerberus, then he could be a 'born' angel!
Well, that's not a good thing to say. After all, his profession (the doorman of Smith's secret enterprise) has nothing to do with beauty and integrity, but maintaining the body of an earthbinder is always more possible than being a necromancer. Didn't the saints appear on the scene? Who can rule out that the saints will not purify 'sins' and provide redemption as described in the holy scriptures
There is also Chapman, who is unlucky and lucky to get a second chance. If Crowley hadn't been worried that Cerberus would cost her an interesting soul, Wander would not be possessed.
What has happened cannot be changed, but at least this kind of helpless thing will not happen in the future.
And in Zach's selfish mind, the Cerberus who was completely ordered was not strengthening Crowley's power, but weakening it again.
again
When Crowley first arrived at Barton, her control over Cerberus was obviously very strong. These creatures gathered the alien souls that had been controlled by Sibera, attacked the Grand House, and even besieged the cherubim in the later Cherubim Incident.
Then, Crowley's strength obviously weakened due to consumption. The most intuitive manifestation is that the control of hellhounds has loosened, and these stupid dogs have begun to roam freely, causing some 'tragedies'.
Zach never asked directly, but judging from various incidents and Crowley's own revelations, the confrontation between traditional demons and fallen angels in hell is not optimistic.
Zach could come to the natural conclusion that Crowley was the chosen one. He is a representative chosen from the fallen angel forces and comes to this world. They should have made adequate preparations before coming. As Crowley stayed in this world longer, she became less prepared for hell.
The first person to react was the lack of manpower. The person who invaded Yuri was no longer a demon, but a human being contracted by the demon. There is also the vague matter of 'creating a natural devil' on Constantine's side. Putting aside the advantages of a natural devil, it means that in hell, after being 'taught', the normal way of becoming a devil has been abandoned by Crowley. . And the reality of being forced to use unstable elements like Wander to deal with the situation.
There are various signs that Crowley's actions in this world have begun to become difficult.
The Cerberus is not a boost. The five-second Gate of Hell requires her to allocate her strength to maintain control of the Cerberus. Under such circumstances, Crowley's power is still limited as it was without the container.
Zach wanted nothing to do with what was going on in hell. All he needs is for Crowley to be restrained in Patton and not overshadow Grande and Anthony, and that's fine. (..)
