Zach still remembers following Walter to Pixar Department Store, the noise filled with all kinds of noises, the safe passages occupied by homeless people, the shops scattered randomly like street stalls, the goods piled up like hills...
There was no difference this time. On the contrary, because it was daytime, there were no lights on in Pixar Department Store, which actually gave people a darker feeling.
Zach didn't like the mixed and poorly ventilated smell here, so he subconsciously covered his nose in the crowded crowd. Think about it another way, Maggie Crescent's perfume is really a breath of fresh air here.
Now that he is here, Zach intends to go to the second floor of the department store to visit Maggie. First, as a thank you for helping Maggie analyze the spices last time, he can casually inform her of the true uses of the spices, if Maggie is curious. Second, if you meet Walter by chance, you can inquire about his current situation...
Of course, Zach didn't have any good intentions. If he continues to guide him after the phone call at Bishop's funeral, (Zach asked Walter to help Mike send a message to the devil for the souls lost in the explosion, and then put all the responsibility on Crowley. ) can maximize Walter's rejection of Crowley, that would be the best.
With this thought, Zach went there, but unexpectedly, the Crescent Perfume Shop closed.
"Closed for one day, regular customers please call directly to order. Crescent Perfume Shop supports door-to-door delivery service!"
Zach looked at such an announcement posted on the closed rolling door, raised his eyebrows, and maliciously guessed that the delivery guy couldn't be Walter! Just to mention it casually, it was him, these two guys, completely getting together... Walter's move, haha.
No longer caring about the perfume shop, Zach looked for the address on the business card Austin gave him.
I stopped several people who were attracted by Zach's decent clothes. After reaching out to the guy with his third hand, Zach found the spot.
The pile of goods almost covered the entire store facade. Zach looked inside and handed out his business card to the man nestled among a pile of sofas, "Hello, I was introduced by Austin..."
"The boss is behind you." The man waved his hand. Ignore Zach.
Zach raised his eyebrows. It seemed that Austin's name was indeed useful. At least the appearance level was passed directly.
When Zach entered the store, he felt as if he had walked into a cave. Wooden, iron, plastic... all kinds of old things were piled up in an arch shape around Zach's left and right sides and even on his head, leaving only one path leading to the deepest place. single person walkway. It is visually estimated that it is 20 meters long, and it is estimated that it can lead directly to the back alley of Pixar Department Store, making it easier for goods to pass through.
Halfway through, Zach frowned. This depressing sense of space was not the cause, but Zach, who had slightly blocked the noise outside the store, began to hear voices inside.
"... We just bought a bed here a few days ago, and now we're here again. Can't it be cheaper? You see, this bed is already very old. I don't think it's worth the price." The woman's voice sounded familiar. woman's voice.
"Expensive? Female. Madam, do you want to know what is really expensive? You can go buy a new one! Don't waste everyone's time here." A strange man's voice.
"Mom. Let's go." Brian's voice is a young man's voice that I will never forget once I hear it. "The original desk can be used."
"No. Your room is too small. After changing the bed (Volume 18, Chapter 1), you can no longer walk. You need a smaller desk. Don't worry, baby. Mom can pay back the price..."
Zach didn't move forward. He was hesitating whether to move forward or not. Zach didn't expect to meet Brian in this place and at this time.
Reality does not pause time, giving Zach a good time to hesitate.
The strange man's voice was irritated. "If you haven't come down yet, the price has been reduced from eighty to over sixty for you! If not, don't waste my time. If you want a cheaper price, find someone else!"
Footsteps sounded, and the strange man seemed too lazy to linger. He seemed to just turn around and appear at the end of the tight single passage.
Zach twitched his lips, glanced at the man who appeared at the end of the aisle, and then looked back at the long distance behind him. There was no place to hide.
"Ah! We have a guest!" The strange man saw Zach standing in the middle of the aisle and immediately put on a smile, "Hey! Sir! What do you want to order?!"
Zach could only move forward. At the end of the aisle, a mother and son came into Zach's sight with helpless expressions on their faces.
The aisle that could only accommodate one person showed its disadvantage at this time. The three people at the end of the aisle were waiting for Zach to come over. The strange man who was obviously the boss was looking forward to business, and Brian and his son were simply waiting to leave.
As Zach approached, Brian lowered his head the moment he saw Zach clearly, as if trying to avoid Zach's sight in the limited space.
Zach realized that the person at this time was not 'Brian', a fan of vampires who was cut into independent existence by the failed charm eye, but 'Lane' who could not think of, talk about, or come into contact with vampires.
Different from Ryan's performance, his mother seemed to remember something as she looked at Zach getting closer and closer, feeling a little familiar.
Familiarity is natural. After all, I have seen him twice, once on the bus. As a passerby, I can ignore it. But the second time was at Amelia's clinic, for Brian's health, which was impossible to ignore, but it was just not formally introduced.
Zach finished walking down the aisle and moved out of the way, hoping to just pretend not to know each other, Zach didn't want to get into trouble.
"ah."
Alas, something unpleasant happened again.
"Sir?" Ryan's mother grabbed Ryan, who had already hid in the aisle first, and rushed forward with his head lowered, with a smile on his face, "You are a doctor, right? Do you remember us? We have met, At Dr. Browning's."
Zach frowned and glanced at Ryan, who had his head lowered even though he was being forcibly pulled away, but his whole body was stiffly facing the opposite direction from Zach, and shook his head, "No, ma'am, you have the wrong person."
"No." Ryan's mother denied it directly with a smile, "I won't remember it wrong, haha, I also confirmed it with Dr. Browning's assistant..."
Zach pursed his lips, uh, that female assistant who inexplicably rejected Zach, God knows what she would say!
"When I went there for the first time, I saw Dr. Browning with you, but Dr. Browning didn't introduce him. I was a little curious. Haha, please understand. It's my first time to go to such a psychological clinic, and I'm a little worried. Then The assistant lady said that Dr. Browning attached great importance to Brian's situation and specially invited a consultant for consultation, which reassured me... "
This is what the woman said...
"But there was something unexpected that time. Well, I couldn't complete the treatment. When I went there for the second time, I asked specifically, but you didn't show up again..."
With mixed emotions, Zach glanced at the stiff Brian and pursed his lips, "Oh, Brian, right? I remembered."
Everyone has said it in such detail, I have to admit it. (..)
