In the backstreet of Liszt, Zach and Benjamin got out of the car and walked towards the back of the coffee shop. Several heads were already protruding from the top of the head, and Fitz, a man with red hair and freckles on his face, waved his hands excitedly.
Zach smiled, returned the greeting and stepped into James's passage leading to the attic.
Before the vampire even knocked on the door, the iron door with several patches was opened. James, uh, tight James.
The detective's usual clothes were stripped off, and his whole body was covered in a red and blue tights. There was a big 's' on his chest, and a bright red cloak on his back. This scene was even more interesting than the former human mage. James looked at the open mouths of the two aliens at the door expressionlessly, "Shut up."
Zach raised his eyebrows and watched James pull down his lower body and walk back to the living room, "Fitz, it's too tight!"
Benjamin beside him frowned, "I will never wear something like this."
Fitz and a few guys had already gathered around, holding several sets of costumes in their hands, "Quick, come and try it!"
There will be no dungeon play today, seriously, today is a dress rehearsal for Comic Con!
Everyone who attends Comic-Con has to choose a character, memorize all of that character's lines, and then use that character's words for all communications. The comic fan community in Barton wants to prove to people in other cities that they are big enough to be called fans!
The history of Barton as a 'livable city' is too short, and everything in Barton now is separated from the former Newton.
Today's Barton people may have a sense of pride in the city they built, but outside Barton, especially the Newton people, they will not share this pride. For them, Barton will always be a wasteland that no one wanted. Just like sarcoma, it becomes independent by tossing itself.
You can think of this as childish discrimination. A niche comic fan community. Just don't expect those guys to have a generous outlook on life. Unfortunately, Patton City is not qualified to hold a comic convention and can only rely on Newton to enjoy the excitement every year. Therefore, Fitz and the others are discriminated against by the Newton guys at the comic convention every year.
This year, it seems that Fitz and the others are no longer prepared to be regarded as country bumpkins who have never seen the world and can only join in the fun. They have found the perfect model. Muscular men like those from the comics, perfect superhero cosplayers, they want to really participate in the comic convention!
"Zach!" Fitz held up a green cloak and moved in front of Zach excitedly, "This is yours!"
"Lars..." Zach looked at the label, "Gul?"
Fitz pulled Zach to the sofa and moved a pile of comics, "This is you!"
Zach looked at the guy on the cover and realized that his character was not the protagonist. The main character is a guy with a bat painted on his chest. Zach turned over the page, squinted his eyes and smiled, "I am a demon, can I live forever?"
"Yes!" Fitz clapped his hands, "I just have a feeling! You are the most suitable for him! A super villain with the power of immortality who has survived the changes of the times!"
"And James!" Fitz pulled James over excitedly, "He's an alien!" Zach raised his eyebrows. It has nothing to do with whether he is willing to listen to these things or not. Fitz introduces them excitedly. "He comes from somewhere else! He gained superhuman power here! He is the embodiment of justice!"
James frowned and pulled at his inner thigh, "Fitz, it's very tight here!"
Fitz giggled and chuckled twice, then ran to Benjamin again. Alpha was almost naked, and various parts began to be put on him by the guys around him.
Zach raised an eyebrow. Seeing Fitz waving his hands excitedly, "Benjamin! You are the Dark Knight! You are the true hero of hypocritical justice! And Zach, Zach is your most powerful enemy!" He didn't know where he got another one from. In this comic, Benjamin dances excitedly with a Batsuit logo forcibly affixed to his chest.
Fitz pulled Benjamin over and pointed at Zach. He emphasized again, "He is an enemy, even though you often help each other!" Fitz glared at Benjamin nervously, "But! He is your enemy!"
Then he pulled James who kept tugging on his inner thigh, "You, you are friends! The Justice League you formed was also destroyed by Zack..."
"Why am I a villain?" Zach raised a reasonable question. James is the alien incarnation of super-powered justice, Benjamin is the true knight under the hypocritical justice in the darkness, and Zach is the immortal person left behind in the era.
Zach no longer wants to explore how Fitz made this connection. What he cares about is why he is the villain. This is unfair.
Fiz scratched his head, "Our team needs a villain to be decent!" Fiz looked at his otaku friends, and a group of them nodded in agreement...
Zach waved his hand, okay, he accepted this setting, picked up his costume, looked at the guys busy around Benjamin, and said with a smile, "Looks like I need help too."
Before a group of excited guys rushed over voluntarily, Zach smiled at James and said, "James, will you help me?"
James scowled, "Change it yourself!"
But Zach smiled and grabbed James' arm directly and walked towards the stairs, "I'm shy, please help."
James wanted to resist, but when he saw Zach's eyes suddenly narrowed, he frowned. Zach had something to say.
At the door of the bedroom on the second floor, Zach looked at the group of people below who were surrounded by Benjamin who kept filling in comics and supplementing his knowledge, and closed the door with a smile.
"What's going on!" James looked at Zach and lowered his voice.
"Comic Expo." Zach slowly unbuttoned his vest and shirt, "We may not be able to go."
The vampire's figure is not strong, but it has obvious lines, which is the ideal and suitable figure. James glanced at Zach's pale skin and looked away, "What do you mean?"
Zach kept moving, taking off his own clothes, picking up the clothes Fitz had prepared, and observing. Vampires are very familiar with this style. It is very medieval, complicated and overlapping, and the cloak is full of mystery. It suits him very well.
"To put it simply." Zach needs to fill in the information for James about the current situation of the demons outside Barton and Newton City. "The demons in Newton are using people who left Barton to obtain information inside Barton."
Zach looked at James' face that instantly turned pale, and knew that the other man had understood the devil's method of operation - to be raped!
Zach spoke quickly and clearly, starting from when Derek met Sibella before he came to Barton, to when Derek left. Use a complete incident to tell the process of how they discovered that the Newton Demon was secretly doing this kind of thing.
"How do I look?" By the time he finished, Zach had put on his cosplay costume without any help.
James glanced at it and responded irritably, "You don't know how to look in the mirror by yourself..." James clicked his tongue, "Why are you wearing this! Anyway, no matter what, you won't go!"
Zach raised his eyebrows and looked at James with a smile, "How do you know I won't go?"
James waved his hands irritably, sat on the bed, and tugged on the cloak that was pressed under his buttocks as if he was having a temper, "They will definitely take pictures, and there is no benefit to you if you go! I already knew you would find reasons to be absent. !”
Zach adjusted his collar, "You are right. When the time comes, I will say that Grande has a lot of work to do. I must stay in Barton to handle it. Benjamin can stay with you."
James shook his head irritably, he didn't want to talk more about this. He has become accustomed to the feeling of not being able to say certain things out loud, and having to watch it come to an end.
James turned the topic to the direction he wanted to know more, "What did Crowley want to do when she went out this time?" He waved his hand, "Aside from diverting Derek's attention."
"Of course it's a negotiation." Zach spread his hands, "The Newton Devil's behavior has been exposed. Naturally, such despicable methods will not be treated well."
The vampire describes this method as inferior, so no one should have any objection. Think about how 'ignorant' Newton's devil is to the internal situation in Barton, so that he would place his hopes on ordinary people! This behavior is like casting a net in the ocean to find a needle.
The only thing that makes Barton internally helpless is that the 'needle' that connects Barton's internal situation really exists, such as Hailey, such as Derek who has left, such as James who is now wearing 's' clothes!
Zach waved his hand, "If everything goes well, the Newton Demon should stop using such despicable methods, and the demon's struggle will return to the normal path." The normal path is to continue to squeeze the power of the fallen angels in hell, and not involve life in this world.
Then these guys who are going to Comic Con can go on their way to 'turn around' normally as planned.
"What if it doesn't go well?" James asked gloomily.
"Then let's start the war." Zach shrugged easily and said something that was not easy at all.
As if to explain, Zach said slowly, "Barton is just the easternmost city in the Federation. Comparing the local population and the floating population in and out of Barton, the people living in Barton will always be a minority. No one can restrict federal citizens from Free access on federal lands.”
Zach looked at James, "If the Newton Devil doesn't stop this despicable behavior, then Crowley can rest assured that in her own city, that is, Barton, through the floating population flowing through Barton, she will gain access to the rest of the Federation." Intelligence about all the cities, and even further, harvesting the souls of those left in Barton.”
"If so." Zach raised his eyebrows, "Such an imbalance between one city and the entire federation can only be broken by launching a war."
James pursed his lips and waved his hands gloomily, "What do you mean by war?!"
Zach raised his eyebrows and smiled, "It's a war between demons." Zach paused, "The demons may ignore the restrictions of the demon territory and the situation of local alien races in Barton, and swarm into Barton just to destroy the fallen. The only force of angels in the Federation is Crowley."
So it means that the superficial peace can no longer be maintained, and it means breaking out and trying hard!
Zach shook his head regretfully, "Then we can say goodbye to Comic Con." Zach looked at James, "When the time comes, you will need all the silver bullets you can find." (..)
