"Why are you here?" Outside the Bishop Manor, Zach's gaze swept across Riley's gloomy face, presumably to maintain a certain posture, and landed on the body that exuded a colorful halo of magic pills. Ni, "Didn't I tell you to stay at Willy's place and wait for the good news?"
Danny's expression became unnatural, and he looked at Bishop Manor, which was almost noon and looked the same as usual under the sunlight, "We had a fight, and he doesn't really want to see me now."
"Why?" Zach was really confused.
"Before you called, I lied." Danny was honest.
Zach raised his eyebrows, smiled, patted Danny on the shoulder, and said softly, "You should trust me more."
"I will." Danny nodded and stopped talking.
"Then let's get started." Zach glanced at the ordinary Bishop Manor, then turned to look at Blake, who was standing behind the charming Riley. The focus was on Jackson, who was floating next to Blake. "Jackson, tell Your mother, I have something to ask her."
Jackson looked at Blake, who looked worried, and then at Zach. It’s unclear how the seductress Riley described everything to the mayor, but since they are here, they will probably act according to Zach’s arrangements.
Jackson hesitated for a while, then floated up and approached the gate of the manor.
The manor, which is no different from usual, is actually a little abnormal. The doorman has disappeared, and the security guards who often patrol outside the gate are nowhere to be seen. But it is obviously unrealistic to think that you can freely enter and exit the manor this way.
The moment Jackson approached the edge of the manor gate, intense ripples seemed to appear in the manor under the sun! A dark red halo enveloped the entire manor. The scope is terrifying, like a school...
"Don't come in!" A weird, eerie roar came from inside the manor... No, it's hard to fully describe this scene. Because it feels like the sound is coming from the manor, and the manor is roaring! A hysterical roar that seemed to be superimposed by countless voices!
Jackson's cyan body was pushed away by the surging dark red, "I told you! You shouldn't see me like this!" The door of the manor seemed to open and close with a huge mouth, saying such words.
Zach kept his chuckle and reminded softly behind Jackson. "Then use an image that can be displayed and let me see it, mother."
Jackson hesitated. After hesitating for a while, he did as he was told.
"No! There is no image to show!" With a fierce tone and a strange resonance, it seemed like countless people were shouting in the manor. "They did horrible things to me. I have become fragments, scattered everywhere... I have no image anymore!"
Just a reminder, the 'cleaners' have taken care of...
Corden, who came with Zach, frowned. After patting Zach's shoulder as a signal, he quickly left the main entrance and moved to the side of the manor shrouded in a dark red halo. This man who was brought by the insurance company The Indians began to take action of their own. do not mind him.
"No." Jackson calmed down inexplicably. He returned to the weird calmness he felt when he said those words to Zach yesterday, "I saw you yesterday. You are still the same as before."
"Oh! My child! I am no longer the same as before! You are no longer the same as before! Everything is different from before! Get out of here!"
There will be no progress if this continues. Zach waved his hand, "Ms. Sher, can you hear me?" Zach approached the door of the manor, raised his hand and knocked on the dark red light close to the door rail. Dizzy, nothing stirred up. But Zach quickly retracted it when the dark red light suddenly protruded and stabbed out, trying to swallow and wrap his fingers, "I am Zach, the master of Grande who was once asked to avenge your son Jackson."
Trembling boos rang out from the manor. After Zach paced back and forth outside the manor door, "What are you?! You are not a human!"
"Look!" Zach smiled sideways, "It's pretty good, isn't it? There's nothing wrong with being different from before, but it feels like opening up a new world, right? Don't deny it, look, you know right away that it wasn't the same before. Things you know." Zach waved his hand as if he was relaxed, "For example, I'm not a human, I can tell you the truth, I'm a vampire."
Zach smiled and glanced at the few people who were also outside the door, "We have Jackson here. You probably don't know his exact name yet. He is an undead. There is me. I just told you, a vampire." There is also Blake, who is still a human. Let me tell you, he is now Jackson’s companion in the new world. By the way, there is also a phantom from the Grand House. And a succubus, which I specially prepared A gift for you. Haha, if you are willing to come out, how about I give you a good introduction."
An infuriating statement, but Zach wasn't finished.
"Or, I can tell you how I avenged Jackson." Zach smiled and shook his head, "I'm sorry that I refused your entrustment to avenge Jackson when you were still human. The commission is of course not for the boring reasons I told you at the time, just..." Zach raised an eyebrow, "It's a bit of a waste of time, telling a human about something he can't understand." Zach smiled and waved, looking at The dark red manor said, "Now, it seems that we no longer have such worries, and we can understand each other."
Do you understand what Zach means
After the dark red halo vibrated briefly, it still resonated strangely, but it was no longer a hysterical roar, "You avenged my Jackson..."
Zach shrugged, raised a hand, "Use this hand." Then pointed to a forest in the distance, "There, not long after the incident, I deliberately left the murderer's clothes for convenience. Police investigation." Zach tilted his head and curled his mouth, "Maybe we have different understandings of revenge, so my actions are usually accurate, direct, and fast, but I still hope you will be satisfied."
Zach looked at the manor shrouded in dark red again, "I mean, look at you, you already have your own way of revenge. We should communicate about this, now that we can understand each other, right? ?”
"You are still the same as before, Zach of Grande." The manor responded. "Wantfully twisting the facts to your advantage! Do you think I'm stupid? I commissioned you after the incident in the woods! You are not revenge for Jackson at all! You..."
"Maybe I should remind you." Zach shook his head, "Forget it, it would be better if I just said it." Zach tugged at the corner of his mouth. "Here, right here, even Blake and Jackson know the truth of what is happening in this world better than you. To this world, you are just like a novice, you don't know anything at all."
There was helplessness in Zach's tone, "Did you know that Jackson was attacked on the night when he went to the Repute Ball? Did you know that Grande's Banshee, oh. You may not know the Banshee yet. What, I’ll explain when I have time, Grande’s sister Alice and my girlfriend Louise and the Phantom Man here, and Blake. How much energy was spent protecting Jackson that night?”
Wait, did Zach go off topic? He was going to discuss old things with the evil spirit Sher in front of Bishop Manor
No, please see the current situation clearly. Zach would rather speak outside the manor under the near-noon sun than step into the manor that is already shrouded in dark red. And Sher in the manor seemed to have no intention of coming out at this time. Everything is still at a stalemate, and Zach needs to let the evil spirit get out of her territory first. Then, we can get down to business.
And Zach's method. Just as planned, he firmly held onto the two evil spirits that Sher couldn't resist, Jackson and Revenge.
Corden ran out of the side of the manor, his breath slightly confused, but he didn't take any rest. Next to Zach, he said regardless of whether others were listening, "I checked the ventilation pipes, drainage channels, waste disposal... everything. The passages connecting the manor to the outside world have been sealed. Nothing can come out." Corden meant that the remains of the evil spirit were still in the manor, and there was nothing he could do.
Zach twitched his lips. He didn't care much about this. He glanced at the manor and said, "Introduction, this is a retired hunter. Yes, a hunter. Are you unfamiliar? It doesn't matter. I'll explain to you. He hunts people like us. Professional human beings. It’s not surprising. In this world, there will be people like hunters among people like you and me.” Zach’s statement was so straightforward and deliberate.
The dark red color trembled slightly, and this reaction was quite straightforward, because didn't Zach just make it clear, 'To this world, you are just like a newbie, you don't know anything at all'.
"So, what are you going to do, Ms. Scheer." Zach spread his hands, "Can you come out and let us have a dialogue of mutual understanding? Or, those of us who gathered here specifically for you will disperse and stay. The next 'good luck to you' leaves you alone to face the world."
"What on earth are you going to do?!" The weird voice in the manor became excited again, "What are you doing here?! And you brought Jackson! And Blake! Except for the hunter, I don't know the other two people at all! What on earth do you want? What do you want?!”
Zach actually remained silent for a while at this time, pursed his lips as if thinking, and touched his chin. Please understand Zach's behavior. It was broad daylight in midsummer, close to noon, and his thinking was somewhat affected and slowed down.
Whether it was a coincidence or not, the sound of an engine came from the road in front of the manor, sandwiched between the isolating woods.
Zach frowned and looked in the direction of the sound.
The manors in the West District, especially the manors of the Barton founders, are separated by a large number of isolation zones even if they are close to each other. Naturally, this is to meet the needs of these big shots. And because of the special status of Bishop's real estate (I wrote before, Barton was once Bishop's private land), the surrounding environment of the manor is even more exciting. There should be no one coming over at this time.
A dirty, conspicuous truck like Grad's previous truck approached here. Zach's brows frowned more and more, because the people in the car were smiling at Zach.
"Haha. What a coincidence, vampire." Boyson deliberately slowed down the car as he passed by and rolled down the window. He glanced at the people next to Zach, then at the Bishop Manor, and then towards He Zach. Corden, who was frowning like a gram, nodded, "You, um, do you want to deal with this thing? Haha, I'm just passing by." He pointed ahead, in the direction of Quinn Manor, "Then, I won't disturb you anymore, Haha bye."
Drive away.
Why didn't Zach just tear this guy apart? Maybe it was the bright sunlight that made Zach's thinking slow for a while.
Zach watched Boysen's truck drive away, without a license plate, until the turn was completely obscured by trees. Zach turned away, glanced at the manor, took out his snack can, rotated it, and said, "Ms. Sher, I'm sorry, I was distracted..."
Zach raised his head and drank half the bottle, but his thinking did not become clear again due to the replenishment of food. He frowned, "Sorry, I just lost my mood to continue wasting time with you here."
To be honest, look what Zach just missed - he missed Boyson passing in front of him!
Zach shook his head, "I'll just say it."
The dark red manor seemed to be shaking, obviously dissatisfied with Zach's statement. Shrouded in the halo in front of the manor, the thin light pierced suddenly, as if trying to extend and entangle Zack in front of him.
Zach and the others all took a few steps back, and Jackson, who had always been a little too calm, was also pulled back by the phantom man.
"I'm making a proposal to you." Zack showed impatience on his face as he backed away, holding the wine bottle in his hand and tapping the bottle erratically with his fingers. Taking advantage of the Bishops, forget it, simply put, she needs the money."
Riley, who had been silent all this time, twitched her lips and glanced at Zach. She didn't refute, but just retreated away.
"Then the plan she came up with was to use Bishop, your husband." Zach snorted mockingly, "Looking at your state, I don't think he can become your 'ex-husband'. Please call your whole 'ex-husband' from now on." It's a shame that I, Ms. Schell' (an allusion to breaking away from Bishop's surname, separated the family) didn't get done." There's not a trace of regret, it's completely taken over by sarcasm.
"This is actually a very good plan. I mean, she is a seductress. You should be able to understand it literally. She will be much more charming than Hailey. You should be able to understand what I want to say." Zach chuckled and said to himself, ignoring the manor that had dark red spikes in the dark red halo that were as scary as a hedgehog.
"Do you know how ridiculous your excitement is at this moment?" Zach shook his head lightly, "Aside from our names, you don't know anything about us, our abilities, strength, weaknesses... And we know the evil spirits. Everything, yes, Sher, you are the evil spirit now, everything about you is in this manor."
Zach smiled and waved his hands, "But we are not going to give you a chance to know anything at all, because we are not going to set foot on your territory at all. You have no effect at all except showing your ugly self in front of your son. "
The sudden burst of light collapses.
"You know, I have a great plan." Zach shook his head with an expression of infinite regret, "Look, Blake is here too. He represents the mayor's office, which is where Jackson is currently protected. Place. Yes, I saw you, at Herman's luncheon, you were talking to Anthony, and the others, were talking to Mrs. Quinn."
"I believe that you still have unfinished business during your lifetime. This regret is the reason why you became a vicious spirit. In my plan, I will give you Blake, give you Jackson, give you the support of the mayor, and give you Than you, haha, the charming Riley who is ten thousand times stronger than Hailey, and more importantly, I give you Grande, myself. Bishop may still maintain the surname of 'Bishap', but it has been branded Say your name 'Shel'."
"What a pity." Zach turned around, as if he was about to leave, "I'm not in the mood anymore. You trapped the whole manor by yourself, and you can take your revenge. I wish you good luck."
Danny hurriedly grabbed Zach, "Zach..."
Zach turned and pressed his fingers to his lips.
Bang! Bang! Bang…
There was a rapid roar, as if countless doors inside the manor were opening continuously! It extends all the way to the outermost main entrance of the manor!
A woman's whole body was wrapped in dark red silk threads, and she stumbled out with a weird posture!
"It's her." Danny held Zach's hand tightly.
"I accept!"(..)
