Just wait for time, who can't do that? After the old Mrs. Donna left, Zach didn't even make a call to the hospital to make an appointment to pick up Mr. Donna's body. As a result, in the middle of the night, when the night was dark, someone from the hospital morgue took the initiative to call. The guy on duty also made a little joke.
"Haha, I heard from the family that the funeral has been arranged. When will Mr. Donna be picked up? Haha, a few surgical interns are outside trying to trick Mr. Donna. I'm really sleepy, hehe. …”
Zach replied with a "hehehe" and said "tomorrow", hung up and went back to the basement to teach the "general" a lesson.
That's right, after Grande's customers were gone, Zach no longer had the intention to continue digging marbles in the warehouse. As for the situation in the Republic, let them go. This is something that Zach, an abandoned Toledo who does not belong to any force, can affect. Death place? Deserve it.
And since the client wanted to delay Mr. Donna's funeral anyway, Zach would not actively do it. Instead, he asked Louise to go out and contact the studio to make a display book for Old Hank's coffin work. Zach was afraid that this flash of inspiration would be forgotten later, so he arranged to relax early.
Originally, there was another thing in Zach's mind, that is, he watched James take Cliff and Eric away who fainted. Zach was a little hesitant to remind James what Cliff was. , but after thinking about it for about a second, Zach decided not to do anything.
These two people will never interact, and Cliff is barely harmless, so forget it. Of course, this is just Zach's idea. It's a pity that no one reminded Zach.
Perhaps at this time, we can mention the interracial agreement between Zach and Cliff, a 'thing' that he considered not even a living thing. It was the agreement that the vampires Toledo and Alpha made when they first came to Barton and visited the aliens in Barton one by one.
By the way, the boyfriend who killed Amelia. Ghoul Harrison's Protocol.
But don't worry, we know that the specific content of Zach's agreement with these 'weak' aliens varies from person to person. The only thing that is the same is the purpose - the safety of the last Toledo, which is a bounty placed by the Secret Alliance.
Therefore, Cliff, known as the Inheritor, was asked by our vampire to do the following—
"I was surprised to find something in such a rural place (when Zach hadn't lived in the Grand, naturally, like most people in Barton, he thought the South Side was a rural place)... uh. You. Uh, you don't have to run. , I have no interest in you, but I'm sorry, I will still ask you to stay alive while I am still in this city. I don't want you to spread the news that I am here after being reborn in other places, do you understand? , live well. Don’t let your life be involved in any danger. In exchange, I will not reveal the news about you here. I know that the Sabbat Alliance is very interested in keeping things like you in captivity. You don’t want them to know. The news is that you are here.”
This is a threatening agreement, "If my situation is no longer safe, I don't mind selling this information to the Sabbat to buy me some time. You can bet on whether the Sabbat has a way to find you after rebirth. ." (The Secret Alliance went to the Republic in the past two years. It was at the same time that cremation became popular, and they had not left at that time. What Zach meant was that if the Secret Alliance came to hunt him down, Toledo, he would use Cree The husband's news attracts the Sabbat, pitting the two opposing vampire alliances against each other, giving Zach time to escape.)
To put it simply, Zach kept Cliff alive because he didn’t want him to be reborn elsewhere? I’ll explain this later. So, Harrison has a little fighting ability. But things that bring tragedy will not happen.
Finished.
Finally, Zach went to the basement. Our vampire is still a little concerned about what James and the 'General' talked about in the basement.
After listening, Zach started—
Zach: "You showed "Button Bottom" to James? Why?… "
Zach: "It's not a reason why James knows a lot about Grande..."Barton's Bottom" is the only thing left by your predecessor, my descendant, in Barton. This thing is at my disposal, and you are not qualified to give it to anyone." look… "
Zach: "On the issue in the Southeast. James shouldn't know more than Coulson. They are partners. Anyone who knows that Falcon will eventually be traced may affect the direction of things..."
Zach: "Humph. There is no need to make any mental preparations for them in advance. I thought you knew Coulson well enough. Why don't you think about how Coulson would handle it and how James would handle it when the investigation began to point to the West Enders. If these two people had a disagreement, who do you think would be the dominant one..."
Zach: "Haha. You also know that it is the top level of the police department who will make the decision. Then let me ask you, what is the use of James knowing this in advance? Does Coulson know the top level better, or does this guy really know a lot? Detective Lance from Grand Secret?…”
Is Zach thinking about James? It seems that it is, although it is very subtle, it will not be appreciated.
Zach: "You keep saying that you want revenge and that you want to return to the southeast. Why can't I see your consciousness at all now? You are actually counting on two police detectives to complete this for you. 'General' you are too conceited." I’m disappointed…”
When the night fell, I went to answer a phone call. continue.
Zach: "Is this your current limit? Don't tell me that the red thing in the mirror is how you think you look... Don't tell me that you are irritable and unable to concentrate. I gave you this irritability." Is it? You asked for it..."
…
At dawn, Zach used his last words to end the continuous mental torture of the 'General', "Go and stand on the back porch facing east."
When he went to the kitchen to help Alice prepare breakfast, he met Danny, who was still in a hurry to help. Zach raised his eyebrows, "Have you not found Julie (Willy's mother)'s job yet?"
"No." Danny replied with a frown, then pursed his lips and lowered his head to help Alice prepare the ingredients.
Zach observed Danny's expression and said, "Tell me what's wrong."
Danny glanced at Zach, with distress in his eyes, "Her job won't be so easy to find. Yesterday, I interviewed several jobs, and when I asked about my resume, I mentioned that I was hired at Bishop Manor within a month. After she was fired, no one wanted to hire her.”
The social environment of the West End has been explained. West Enders and those who serve West Enders. Think about how long Merry, who died, was unemployed after being fired by Smith, and finally got a new job. Bye…
Zach frowned, not surprised. Having attended Amanda's (Quinn's caregiver) birthday party, he knew very well that in the West End environment, the connection between the upper and lower levels was too 'close'. Previously, I only considered the situation of Bishop Manor and ignored this issue.
Zach thought for a moment and said, "Let Riley think of a way to write a recommendation letter than Sharp. It should be easier."
"This is the best!" Danny yelled a little lost his temper. As a fantasy person, it's not unusual for his body to leak out. Anyway, it is absorbed by others. But immediately, he restrained himself and looked at Zach gratefully, "Thank you."
Zach curled his lips and said, "Nothing." After taking the ingredients from Danny's hand, go ahead and call Riley.
Danny scattered the light and disappeared. Apparently he was so happy that he didn't even want to maintain his human form.
A small vermilion box floated past Zach's side. The light and shadow were pushed away, and Mo appeared. She looked at the place where Danny disappeared, "I'm a little curious about what he is. He's a bit like me. He was once a human, right? But it's something completely different. Does he have no body?"
Zach glanced sideways at Mo and said something completely unrelated, "Where did you sleep last night?"
"Alice's window sill. The gecko is accompanying me on the wall." Mo said and smiled at Alice, getting the same response. She looked back at Zach, "But I wouldn't say it was sleeping, you You can think of me as admiring the moonlight.”
It seems that Zach has decided not to explain what a phantom is to this alien race with a belief system that he cannot even understand. "You like the night?"
"You can put it that way." Mo didn't ask further. Anyway, if she was really curious, she could ask the Great Dane, "The sunshine during the day is too intense, too abundant..." She seemed to be changing her words, "Energy... She curled her soft lips and said, "It's always a bit of a burden for us disabled things."
It was Zach's turn to be curious, and our vampire raised an eyebrow, "Disabled?"
"Oh." Mo chuckled, the corners of her eyes and brows slightly curved behind the silky black hair falling in front of her forehead, "I'm trying to explain, you try to understand." She approached Zach and reached out to touch him , passed by, "I was born from a human being. But my birth was also accompanied by the passing of a part of a human being. I am not complete."
Zach looked at the opponent's arm that had not been corroded at all after passing through his body, "You can just say that you have no body."
The vermilion box appeared from nowhere, and was placed in Mo's hand. "I have it. If you mean the real thing that exists in this world, this is it." She smiled and turned her hand over, and the box disappeared. , "But I understand what you mean, I don't have a human body anymore."
Zach frowned, and he looked at Mo with some confusion, "Didn't you just tell me your... weakness, that is, your vital point?" Zach reluctantly understood that the box was similar to the attachment of the Earthbinder. Something that maintains the existence of ink.
"Yeah." Mo Yiran smiled, "Don't think too much, it's not the only one that can be replaced."
Zach's brows tightened, "What does it mean to be able to change..." Zach shook his head, "Forget it, I won't understand it even if you say it." Zach said it with certainty, and everyone should agree so. Isn't it? In Zach's opinion, if it could be changed, the Earthbinder should change its name. The sad situation of shadow people, phantom people, and dream demons relying on other people's sense of existence to survive has to be changed...
"You don't have to be like this." Mo smiled and leaned towards Zach, without passing through his body again, so it turned into a slightly intimate friction, maybe just to show off his abilities, "The world we understand also has similar things. , For example, the man who was taken away by the police yesterday, Cliff, what do you call him? We call his species spirit. "
"Things." Zach moved his body slightly. Mo's ability to control the body at will made Zach uncomfortable. Well, maybe it was just Louise who came in and glanced at Zach lightly, "His life form There are too many, every rebirth, every life course is too random, it may be a person, or it may be something else, including a foreign race. We only call him an inheritor, which means that they carry and accumulate it every time they are reborn. experience and knowledge.”
Mo ignored Zach and looked at Louise with the same smile, even more intimate, "Thank you for letting me see your wardrobe."
"You're welcome." Louise also smiled back, "If we have a chance, we should go shopping on Lister Street." Do you know where Louise's kindness comes from? It comes from the fact that she can see ink. It's that simple. . Just imagine, if Louise cannot see Mo, there is an exotic female ghost in Grande, and she is having a friendly exchange of world knowledge with Zach. Louise cannot see it, Louise cannot see it...
Mo nodded and agreed, "Shou Gong..." She paused and said, "Jin." To Zach, she could freely use words that others couldn't understand, but Zach could understand. To others, she still took care of their senses. , it is estimated that this title will be completely changed sooner or later, "I have described Barton to me, Liszt is a very famous place, I am looking forward to it."
Then, Mo returned to Zach again, and the conversation was not over yet, "Then have you ever explored where he appeared? What started his first life journey?"
"No, they don't even know where it started." Zach frowned and replied, "There is only a constant cycle of birth, death, birth, death. Since it is a cycle, there is no point in tracing the first time and the origin. ." Zach is not a good communicator. He seems to have little interest in things he doesn't know and tries to end the conversation with facts.
As if sensing Zach's indifference, Mo Ye smiled and concluded, "It's out of thin air. We over there call this kind of thing that appears out of thin air a spirit."
Zach would not thank the other party for this knowledge that he should not be interested in. He continued to handle the ingredients. Old Hank was already sitting at the dining table and was about to urge him.
But Louise raised her eyebrows, "Then what is he?" Jiang quickly pointed at Zach, "What's his name over there?"
"Weird. Jin is also weird, and Alpha and Benjamin." Mo said with a smile, "I lost my body, and they lost the opposite thing."
Louise seemed interested, "What else?"
"There is another kind, essence, which is born from the existing things in this world, but has not lost anything. For example, well, I haven't discovered it yet." (.)
