When leaving the office, to some surprise, Taylor was standing outside. She didn't know how much she had heard. Did she clearly hear the ugly face of Zach's double-faced man? But the look on her face was more thoughtful. .
Zach ignored her and let her think what she thought.
As an academic demon hunter who suddenly came from the west during a special period and had deep military connections, Zach could not see through Taylor's purpose of staying in Barton. All Zach could do was to show Barton's interracial relationship to her as much as possible. When Taylor's true purpose begins to emerge, in the face of a clear interracial relationship, whether it is an enemy or a friend, Taylor cannot help but show it naturally.
Sounds passive, right? No, not at all. Look at Barton now. Everyone has gone to the Republic. Zach, who is showing off to his fullest, doesn't have to worry about Taylor taking the so-called 'enemy' stance! Because only Zach is still in Barton!
No matter whether Taylor's original intention is to be an enemy or a friend, during this period of time, she must be Zach's friend! It's that simple! As for the future, when the Republic team returns, Taylor will have to think carefully about whether to end his friendship with Zach and devote himself to his original purpose, or to change his purpose and not waste the friendship he has established.
Judging from Zach's unconcerned look, it seems that our vampire is very confident.
While the ceremony in the church was slowly progressing, Zach sat on a bench in the back porch of the church. He also found a new thing to do to pass the time, which was chatting with the undead Jackson. Let’s talk about Walter, talk about yesterday’s explosion, connect the content of the previous phone call that did not avoid Jackson, and explain the situation of the Badon Devil.
There's a high-sounding reason for all this chatty stuff, and it fleshes out Jackson's worldview. But Zach has more selfish reasons. These interracial affairs can go from Jackson to Blake, and then from Blake to Anthony.
When Zach semi-confessed to Anthony about Blake. It is quite appropriate to limit Blake's knowledge to demons, and Anthony also half-recognizes Blake's buffer status.
Of course, don't think that Blake's buffer identity has been completely disclosed. It hasn't been revealed yet. It's just that this matter has something to do with the devil. That’s why it’s so convenient. If not, Zach still has to beat around the bush and remind Anthony that this is the stubborn friend who refuses to accept Zach's help.
"How did Herman's factory explode?" After listening to Zack explain why Barton's soul could not be taken away by other demons, Jackson suddenly asked an essential question.
Zach raised his eyebrows, "Actually, I was going to ask you." Zach shrugged, "After all, you are at the core of Barton's power now." Zach was talking about the mayor's office, but Blake was in Working in the place with the densest information circulation in Barton, you can see and hear some things in Jackson.
Remember Zach was in front of the Hermann factory yesterday. Something that comes to mind? It seemed to Zach that the explosion must not have been what anyone expected. Now all Zach can hope is that Anthony can have even a little bit of news and prepare a way to deal with it in advance.
Look, today's Patton Daily is still following up on the rescue activities of the explosion, and the statistics of casualties and facts. In tomorrow's newspaper, I'm afraid the investigation of responsibility will begin!
"How would I know." Jackson's face was expressionless, not realizing what Zach meant. "I've been following Blake for the past two days. It's been everything, the bed, the car, the office. I don't know what's going on outside."
Zach pursed his lips. After all, he was only a teenager. "Things happen in these places, right in front of your eyes." Zach wanted to educate this guy. In any case, he is now bound to Blake (John's contract witchcraft), and Jackson can no longer act like a half-grown boy...
"Oh, by the way. Yesterday's dinner was canceled because of the explosion." Jackson showed a recalling expression. He still has some sanity and is not completely useless. "Blake was sent home once because of this matter." He looked at Zach and added, "I'm talking about the West End, the home in Stone Manor." Jackson's His expression became strange, "In case you don't understand, Blake is now living in a shabby hotel in the North District."
A lot of things flooded into Zach's mind in an instant. Zach shook his head and asked one by one, "Where does Blake live?"
"A shabby hotel." Jackson repeated, "I have never seen such a shabby hotel. It doesn't even have a minibar or refrigerator..."
Zach waved his hand and let this matter go. "Yesterday's dinner was at Liszt? At 7 o'clock?"
"Yeah. Why, are you invited too?" Jackson looked at Zach, obviously questioning.
Zach waved his hand, and the matter could only be settled like this, "No, but someone seems to have been invited." Zach was talking about the schedule he saw on Amelia's desk yesterday.
"What is this dinner for?" Zach continued to ask.
"I don't know." Jackson answered simply. He seemed a little impatient. He moved his body lightly to the side and turned his head to look at the direction of the church's farewell ceremony. "But these are the people invited. Hmm, I'm pretty sure. , they didn’t hold a dinner for my funeral.”
Let's get over it, it involves some bad emotions that are not appropriate for the situation, and I can't go on. Zach waved his hand, "So you and Blake went back to Stone Manor yesterday?"
"No." The unexpected answer.
"Why?" Zach didn't quite understand.
"Blake wouldn't let me follow him, so he asked me to stay in a shabby hotel and wait for him to come back. Huh, that's what 'partners' are like." This is irony.
This pair is actually two third-generation West Enders who were brought together to satisfy Zach's personal wishes. Zach gave them a bright name, "Partners who jointly explore the real world."
As a result, from the perspective of Jackson, a half-year-old boy, his 'partner' could not live in the manor, but lived in a shabby hotel, and would not take him with him when he returned to the manor. He only had a bed, a car, and an office every day...
Zach waved his hand, and the things that flooded into his mind could only be 'passed' away. Jackson was still of no use at all, and Zach was very helpless.
"Zach." Louise suddenly appeared on the back porch, looking around Zach, "Is Jackson here?"
Zach raised his hand and pointed out Jackson's outline beside him, and pointed out the eyes thoughtfully.
Louise pointed in the direction and smiled, "The guest speeches have begun. The priest said you are coming out. Laura, Kepler, Blake... they will all give speeches. Do you want to come back to see them?"
Guest speeches are a somewhat strange part. Imagine being in front of a corpse and talking about his deeds during his lifetime. Of course, most of them are good things. But, does the guy who is already a corpse really want to hear these words...
Jackson frowned, and his body had shifted from its original position in hesitation, swaying back and forth. But, look at Louise, this woman who can't actually see anything, still keeps smiling, still looking at the position where he was before, motionless.
Well, I have experienced a lot of weird things, and this one is not lacking. Jackson went right through the wall and floated into the church.
Zach waved his hand towards Louise, whose eyes were already interfering, and chuckled, "Okay, he's already in."
Louise breathed a sigh of relief, rubbed her stiff face that was smiling in the air, glanced at Zach, smiled again, turned around and left. (..)
