It was impossible to tell anything clearly with just a phone call, so Grande's truck loaded up the 'cargo' and left Grande, heading north on Route 27. The first stop is the train station.
Derek in the back seat had his eyes closed, his head tilted on his luggage bag, and he seemed to be sleeping soundly.
Derek will still leave Barton, but he won't leave alone, there will be someone to protect him. It was still old Hank who made this decision.
Zach was helpless. Even though he had explained the current situation, Newton's demon was waiting for those who left Barton to obtain information inside Barton. Old Hank used only one sentence to forcefully cut off Zach's explanation.
"Take care of what you have caused!"
Zach could understand why Old Hank didn't want Derek to stay here, but he also knew very well that he couldn't handle anything at all.
Before lunch, in Grande's office, Hayley's incident had been completely restored by Crowley and the demon she brought to be tortured.
Crowley, a fallen angel who has long coveted the power of the West End people, is restricted by the agreement with Grande and the mayor. She cannot directly "violently" seize human things. According to her words, 'Huh, for your senses, I have to think like a human being! '
Crowley came into contact with Hailey through the church. Not to mention the process, everyone knows that priests and pastors are harassed by all kinds of weird life problems every day. There is also something like the confessional that can only rely on the moral restraint of clergy's faith. Crowley easily obtained many secrets that should not be known to outsiders.
Bishop and Hailey's illegitimate child is one of them.
So Crowley wanted to take advantage of this illegitimate child for more than a day or two. But she still couldn't do anything immediately because the child was still too young, too young! Hailey is just a maid who is content with the status quo, paired with a man whose behavior style is not consistent with the surname 'Bishop'.
When he came to Grande for the commission, Zach discovered that Bishop's behavior and words were inconsistent with his identity. As Bishop's master, he had a habitual tendency to compromise. To Zach. This is reflected in being constantly interrupted and guided in the direction of the conversation.
Looking at the contact between Smith and Zach, the vampire is almost led by Smith's nose. Even for a guy like Quest, who was unwilling to cooperate and resorted to violence, Quest at least maintained his absolute strength in behavior. This is contrast.
As well as the meaning revealed in his words, he seems to be unable to even protect his son's basic rights. He keeps using 'the interests of the Bishop family' as a reason to show his incompetence.
right! He is a man who is incompetent and wants to keep his lover and illegitimate child by his side, but does not want to face the practical problems that are bound to happen and dodges his responsibilities. Have you ever seen this kind of person
He neither bought out the illegitimate child's life outright, nor could he clear his name, nor did he know what this guy was thinking.
After sorting out the situation, the only thing Crowley could do was to let the illegitimate child grow up to the point where the Bishop family could no longer ignore it. To this end, Crowley began to influence believer Hayley.
Yes, from Bishop's mouth. 'Things Hayley shouldn't know' was what Crowley passed on. This is preparation. To fight for the Bishop family, just relying on an illegitimate child is far from enough. This maid who is content with the status quo must understand the problems she will face in the future! The essence of the identity of an illegitimate child is to rely on her as a maid to fight against the world!
Did everyone realize it? Crowley's arrangement is already considering what will happen more than ten years in the future! This is a fallen angel with outstanding vision! She has a strong sense of mission in this world.
Crowley made a devilish pact with a maid!
This shames Zach. Because the agreement they made with Crowley restricted Crowley from controlling the upper-level figures who really controlled Barton's destiny. A maid? hehe. What makes Zach ashamed is how narrowly he and Anthony view the world!
Hayley is under Crowley's influence. Little by little, he absorbed the knowledge that he needed to know for the future. At first, he didn't have too strong ambitions. He just tried to gain some protection to prepare for the future. After all, the child was still too young, and Haili needed the child to grow up smoothly. And there are some privileges, and in the future battles, nothing will be lost.
Benjamin was right what he said before, the son of a maid and the son of Bishop. Haley made the obvious choice.
But here's where the surprise begins. Crowley sensed resistance, coming from within the Bishop family. And it's very intense. The strange thing is that the source of this resistance is not Bishop, the incompetent male master, nor the first-generation Bishop, but unilaterally comes from Bishop’s wife!
The woman behind Bishop seemed to have discovered the maid's plan at a glance. This was the source of Bishop's feeling that someone was threatening Hailey!
Crowley has said that this family has its own problems. She cannot be blamed for the current tragedy! This problem has shown itself, and Bishop's family is divided. When it comes to their treatment of illegitimate children, Mrs. Bishop is obviously the one who wants to strangle any future troublemakers. Bishop himself is the incompetent person who can't do anything and drag on for a day.
According to Crowley's account, Hailey was indeed threatened, and it was a very direct threat to her life.
There was no surprise. After communicating with Crowley, Hailey chose to disappear voluntarily. If she could no longer get any benefits from the Bishop family and faced a threat to her life, it would be better to disappear and wait for the opportunity to come.
This is a long line. Hailey, who has made a devil's contract with Crowley, can understand all Bishop's dynamics through the devil, but as Nok said to Zach, she is really not suitable to continue to stay in Barton.
Crowley's church could do many things, but hide the growth of a baby. With Mayor Anthony staring at the legal identity that the devil can get his hands on, and Grande hanging out with a group of gray professionals, Crowley's hands and feet in Barton are really inconvenient.
All this finally led to a woman who made a devil's contract with a fallen angel, leaving Barton late at night.
Things related to Crowley ended here, and the demon sealed by Sibera completed the rest.
Newton's demons rely on soul mark traversal to investigate people who left Barton. Just like Crowley raped James, in an instant, a high-level demon can control a person's life!
By the way, this is why Zach can't handle anything. The vampire's charming eyes control the memory in the body, not the soul imprint.
It should be noted that it must be a high-level demon, because only high-level demons have the ability to possess non-believers and shield the traces of invasion of their souls from the alien forces in Barton.
The High Demons, Crowley's priests, have demons who can take charge of the church's duties. No matter which city you are in, the number of high-level demons will never be large.
When the devil in Newton discovered that this unlucky Hailey was really unlucky, he immediately discovered that the other party had actually signed a devil's contract with the real owner, as well as her special identity.
The contract with Crowley sentenced Hailey to death, the death penalty. The Newton Demon needs her soul, and the contract in her soul will be the only clue related to Crowley that the Newton Demon can hold!
And the contract itself is enough to make Newton's devil curious! The only fallen angel in the Federation is actually using this tortuous method to obtain human power and resources!
No matter what is happening in Barton, since Crowley is passively using this 'humanized' method to gain power, the Newton Devil, who has no knowledge of Barton's internal situation, can also use the same method!
But before any concrete implementation could begin, these demons found themselves 'lucky' to run into an over-enthusiastic backpacker and a small group of damn Indian hunters!
After the demon was able to tell the story of the events, Crowley turned to Sibella's account of Constantine.
The Indian hunters didn't seem to want to get involved in this matter. In a city controlled by demons, it was not uncommon for demons to search for souls. The hunter team led by Sibella really didn't want to cause trouble when they were about to reach their home.
The problem was the backpacker, whose enthusiasm seemed to rub off on the Indian hunters. Crowley added what Sibella said to Constantine, "Suddenly, I became curious. If Newton's demon was to harvest the souls of people in his city, I would not care. But that woman was obviously It comes from the west side of Barton. I want to know the reason why the Newton Demon harvests souls on the border of Barton.”
So it's all just a huge coincidence, and if it weren't for Crowley's demon contract, the Newton demon would be obsessed with Hayley's soul. If it hadn't been for Derek's appearance, Siberella wouldn't have been delayed at the doorstep. She would have had time to realize that Hailey came out of Barton and that the Newton Demon's behavior of harvesting souls at the border of Barton is worthy of curiosity.
In the end, if Derek really rescued Hailey, the Newton Demon would have no chance of finding clues about Crowley, so the demon eager to appear completely activated Sibella's thirst for knowledge. Since the Newton Demon thinks so If you want this soul, then don’t give it to them!
However, something happened during the battle that made Sibella even more curious.
After Hailey's death, she became an earthbinder. During the battle between the hunter and the demon, the reappearance of death was forcibly ended. Sibera watched as the earthbinder escaped from the control of the 'band', turned into a dead spirit, and returned. Got Barton!
The devil's contract is in effect! Hailey returns to her contracted master Crowley!
At that moment, Sibella realized that these demons could not be killed, they had to be tortured! During the time she was away from Barton, she did not fully know what happened in Barton. Will Grande take over the power she left behind, what choice did Constantine make after the demon appeared, and whether the mayor can still remain impartial under the pressure of the demon...
Therefore, Sibella realized that this was important news that she needed to master when she returned to rejoin the alien 'family' of Barton! (..)
