"Wait..." Kyle looked up from the opened magazine and found that Zach had walked far away, "Wait! Hey! I asked you to wait!"
Zach had just finished reading the report and was in a bad mood. He glanced back, ignored it lazily, and walked straight to Grande at his own speed.
The magazine he had just taken out was already wrinkled in Kyle's hand, "It says! Vampire! Does it mean you! Do you know something?! The article here is completely different from the newspaper! ... "
The voice of a series of questions kept getting louder as Kyle trotted after him. When he finally caught up with Zach, Kyle grabbed the vampire's shoulder.
The red eyes that suddenly turned around stared at Kyle, "Don't touch me."
Kyle's legs instantly softened, and he staggered back a few steps without being alert.
There are many people in Batonzucker who cannot use the Eye of Charm due to the agreement, such as people like Walter; there are also many people who cannot use it due to the constraints of people's words, such as Aisela; of course, there are some people who are purely evil. Grams didn't want to be used on them, like No, who was considered a friend.
Too bad Kyle isn't either. Zach stared at Kyle for a moment, then shook his head, the redness fading away, leaving a normal light green. For the sake of Laura and Alice's friendship, forget it, "If you want to stay in Grande, just find something to do by yourself and don't disturb us."
It turns out that Zach would give Kyle the magazine so that he could be left alone!
Kyle regained his footing, put away the momentary fear on his face, and followed Zach honestly.
Without warning, "Just to make it clear to you, I'm not afraid of you." Kyle suddenly whispered behind Zach.
Facts are countless times more important than words, Zach didn't bother to respond.
Unexpectedly, Kyle continued, "I know you won't do anything to me! If you could. Last time in Reiput, I would have turned into a corpse."
Zach continued walking towards Grande, curled his lips, glanced at Kyle, but still didn't respond.
"Not now!" Kyle took Zach's lazy response as a default 'encouragement', "I'm Laura's brother."
Zach raised his eyebrows slightly. If you don't respond, let the other party take it as acquiescence.
"It's Taylor I'm afraid of." Again without warning, Kyle said this.
Zach turned his head again and looked at Kyle, squinting his eyes to judge the other person's expression.
"Do you want to hear the truth from me?" Finally being taken seriously by the vampire, Kyle stared at Zach and let the other person look at his expression, "I don't mind if you use your charming eyes on me, don't mind if I My memory was changed by you. I don’t know when. I didn’t feel it at all. But later when I learned the truth... "
Kyle's expression became abnormal, entangled, and impatient to express himself. This was actually what he had been circling around trying to say to Zach the night before on Grad's back porch.
"I hope my memory will always be buried by your false memories!"
Zach raised his eyebrows, not knowing how his brain was turning, and responded, "I am very expensive. If you still want it, you have to pay me the same price that your grandmother, Mrs. Barton, paid."
Kyle's accumulated emotions were shattered by one blow, and he stared at Zach with wide eyes, "You, you..."
Zach waved his hand, turned around and continued walking towards Grande, something suddenly popped into his mind. Do you remember? In order to make Blake willing to accept Grande's invitation and become a buffer between West Ender, Mayor Anthony, and Grande, Zach showed off his harmless and powerful enchantment eyes, and revealed his true identity to Grande. A small corner opened in front of Blake.
but. Jackson, this boy who carries the important judgment standard for Blake, is so unsatisfactory! Hanging up too early! The vacancy needs someone to fill it. Kyle looks very suitable now!
Kyle's emotions were confused for a while, and then he jogged a few steps to catch up with Zach. "Although I have no objection and even hope for it, I don't want you to do it again!" There was teenage irritability in his tone, and he gestured hurriedly. Making gestures, "What I want to say is that I'm afraid of Taylor! You have no idea what she did to me! Come dig out the memories you buried! I don't think I can go through it again!"
Zach raised his eyebrows and glanced at Kyle's expression. The fear that appeared at that moment could not be fake. Recalling what Taylor said in the car yesterday, she used all her professional knowledge to crack Kyle's enchanted eyes.
Zach thought for a while and looked at Kyle with some hesitation, "Her, Taylor, torture..." Zach originally wanted to use words that were too light, but in order not to underestimate Taylor's military experience before becoming a witcher. The background, and the attitude of Kyle, a strong young man who is a 'football player', is not to be underestimated. He used the word, "Have you been tortured?"
"It's worse." Kyle's voice was extremely low, and he stared at Zach with his clenched eyes, "When everything is going on, I wish I was dead! Whether it's body or soul!"
"Well -" Zach pursed his lips and said in a long and drawn-out tone, "That's it."
I don’t know if it was a teenage exaggeration or just telling the truth. Kyle may not have realized that the situation he expressed was very serious.
Zach began to hesitate about Kyle filling Jackson's gap, "What is her relationship with you?" Zach shook his head and changed his statement, "Will you do anything to her now because you are afraid of her? What she asked for?" Zach twitched his lips and said in a joking tone, "Are you completely under her control? Is Taylor your master?"
Kyle was stunned for a moment. He didn't seem to have thought about this problem, and he lowered his head and remained silent.
When he was about to return to Grande's backyard, Kyle suddenly spoke again, "I don't know." He seemed to be annoyed with himself and clenched his fists irritably, "But she asked me to come to Grande. ." After a pause, he said in a calm voice, "Then I'll be here!"
James was not alone sitting on the bench on the back porch. Seeing Zach coming back with the newspaper, he also glanced at Kyle behind him, without making any comment, and continued the conversation with John.
"What kind of plan is this? We have almost no understanding of that world. What can we do? It's already midnight. Who knows what dangers we will encounter?" James frowned and expressed his doubts. .
"There's something wrong with your words." John shook his head, he seemed to be very familiar with James.
This made Zach a little confused, but he understood it after thinking about it again. Wasn't it Zach himself who first told James that Sibera had returned with a bunch of Indian hunters. James' actions were really fast when he thought they were right.
John made this gesture. "I never said it was another world." He put his palms in front of his face, not knowing what he was trying to metaphorize. "Sibella and I discovered that Papa's midnight witchcraft did not destroy any world barriers. This can only It means that the place where he is is still this event, and he is on the same plane as us."
Zach raised his eyebrows and walked to an empty seat on the bench to sit down. Benjamin also came out, looked at Zach and frowned. "You're glowing, stinky."
Zach shook his head, moved to a position, patted and motioned for Benjamin to sit down.
'Glowing' means that Zach is in his prime, and the blood flowing in the vampire's veins is no longer the poor lambs in the barn on the west side of the Grande, but the southeastern part of the North Side. From gangsters that no one cares about.
Yes, Zach went to look for food last night after throwing a few words to the wizard. I spent most of the night replenishing and stocking up on the most delicious food for vampires. If he hadn't heard that a guest (Kyle) had arrived in the morning, Zach would still be in the basement drinking blood.
Zach was preparing, which meant the same thing as Benjamin's undivided sleep and full rest.
Never mind vampires and alphas, the conversation continues.
John ignored Zach and Benjamin, and faced James, "It may be separated by an ocean. It may be separated by a continent, but it is still in this world, not another world like heaven, hell, or even purgatory in the Holy Lord's faith. world."
"It has nothing to do with this!" James has proven it many times. He has never been a guy who can be persuaded, "Then tell me, where is Papa Midnight? Where is the place you mentioned? Have you found it?!"
James and John were about the same age, and it was interesting to watch the conversation between the two men. Zach was observing the two people with a research look.
Of the two people at this time, John is the one who explains and defends, and James is the one who keeps asking questions and attacking. Of the two words used to describe the two people, the former is the content of the conversation, and the latter is their character.
"No." John shook his head, not paying attention to the impatience on James' face. "Witchcraft is not connected with world geography. The operation method is different. Knowing the road does not necessarily mean knowing where the end point is. I don't expect it. You, a police detective, will understand. I can confirm that Papa is somewhere in this world at midnight, and Sibella and I spent the whole night exploring and improving how this passage can be controlled by us."
John pointed to the reassembled camera at his feet, "I can...send people there. When I get there, I can..."
James clicked his tongue, not noticing that John's words revealed an amazing fact - he had improved Papa Midnight's witchcraft! Improved witchcraft from the ancestor of witchcraft!
The clueless James interrupted John, "What? Send it back?" James turned away his eyes, "No matter what you will encounter after you go, you said it yourself, you don't even know the way. Knowing where the end point will be, how can you confirm that you can send people back?!"
James seemed to be irritated. He stood up and took a few steps left and right. "I thought the most important thing in your plan was not to give anything to Papa Midnight."
James shook his head and glanced at Zach, "What a perfect plan. I guess you will go." Then he looked at John, "You go." Then he looked sideways at Benjamin's warehouse. In this place, the old woman Sibella was still sleeping, in Benjamin's 'bedroom', "Sibella will go too." Then he glanced at Benjamin next to Zach, "Humph, Benjamin will go too."
"What a good plan!" James suddenly became venomous. "You can just put it in an envelope for yourself, write the word 'gift' on it, and let Papa open it at midnight. It's more direct!"
John stopped talking.
Although Zach did not participate in the complete conversation, he understood James' position. Using the witchcraft passage that John and Sibella discovered after a night of research, they went to Papa Midnight's place and either robbed or stole Teddy and other things, which was to fall into a trap.
Zach's expression was also a little helpless, and he smiled and shook his head. He discovered last night that this was not a plan at all, but a step-by-step step that was not even a concept.
Do you need to review the current situation
All right. At the beginning of the incident, it was just a boring pastime for Zach to find a missing boy. But now Teddy's retrieval has actually become only a subsidiary goal, because the root of the incident is because Papa Midnight wants to 'Alpha Evolve'!
Papa Midnight's word is, one thing for another. Grande won’t change it, no, it can’t be changed! Take away Benjamin and look at the vampire's face.
Then John has explained that handing over the spices is of no use. Instead, it will cause unknown dangers to all existing Alphas on the federal ground, including Benjamin, who has already begun the evolution process!
Unless Papa Midnight voluntarily gives up 'Alpha Evolution', there will no longer be a peaceful solution to the incident.
All that's left is for Papa to wait until midnight and become impatient, return to Barton, come to Grande, and take away what he likes. Either these people in Barton should go over first and rescue a subsidiary target - Teddy.
Yes, things are that bad. Daily life is very peaceful, right? Don’t be fooled by this tranquility.
Zach looked around at the expressions of several people and said what he had said before, "James, since you have rejected our plan, please propose one and we will listen."
James clicked his tongue, turned around and entered the stairwell. You could hear him pushing Wes who was about to come out, and walked in, "What are you doing out?! We have nothing to say to them! When it's breakfast, we still have You have to do your job!”
It's a convenient excuse. I really don't know what James' original intention was for staying here in the first place. If it's more malicious, I'm afraid it's because of Grande's current predicament!
"I..." The silence on the back porch was suddenly broken by a person, it was Kyle, "The reason why I came here..." He frowned and looked at Zach with an abnormal expression, because Zach was buried in his heart. "It's Taylor. Taylor found out where Papa is at midnight. She asked me to inform you. She will arrange everything and leave in the afternoon."
The jump is surprising.
The first person to question was John, "Who is Taylor?" He waved his hand and denied it directly, "Impossible! It is impossible for this guy who has never heard of anything to discover something that neither Sibella nor I can confirm."
Zach looked at Kyle and corrected John first, "Taylor is a woman. Before looking for you and Sibella, she confirmed the clues in the video tape and led to Papa Midnight." Zach said to Kyle He raised his chin and said, "Go on, did she say where she was?"
Kyle frowned and looked to the east, "She said east." He looked at his feet, "On the opposite side of our feet."
The Great Dane suddenly jumped onto the back porch and let out an uncharacteristically low bark.
"Republic." Kyle said a word that did not appear in the lives of federal people. He was talking about a continent and a country. (..)
