The band at the front of the auditorium began to play warm and romantic music, ready to transition to the wedding march at any time.
The best man and bridesmaid were already standing on both sides of the altar, ready to welcome the newlyweds who were about to appear.
When Cliff walked onto the altar and made sure that Eric had not forgotten the ring for the last time, he looked along the aisle in the center of the auditorium, facing the main entrance filled with afternoon sunlight, waiting for the bride. All good.
"Morman."
Well, that was the only discordant thing about the wedding. Among all the guests who were seated, our vampire was standing on the side of a certain row of benches, "How about I switch places with you?"
Do you still remember the mermaid Mollman, when Grande arrived, he had been looking at an extremely ugly woman next to him in a daze? Well, if Zach doesn't interrupt, this daze will continue.
"Uh..." Moorman looked at Zach blankly and blinked, as if he didn't know how to respond.
Zach first bowed slightly and looked toward the guests in front, apologizing to the guests who didn't know what was going on. Then, he pointed to the empty seat next to Benjamin in the last row and asked again, "Mollman, can we change seats? ?”
"Okay, okay..." Moorman has already felt the attention from the guests before and after - people or aliens. This situation will only make people embarrassed. He stood up quickly. The guest (foreign race) beside him gave a helpless look, but it was useless. Cliff at the altar had already given him an urging look, "I don't care what you are doing, don't influence it." My wedding! '
Zach smiled in thanks and headed to his seat, passing Walter who, uh, let's see, rolled his eyes. Maggie who smiled and said hello, the 'twins' whose names I still don't know, the 'weird' who still wore sunglasses indoors, the man who lowered his head and shrunk as much as possible to give way to the vampire...
Zach sat down next to the woman who was too ugly to waste words to describe, and said in a slightly apologetic tone, "I'm sorry. I'm sorry to bother you. I've been entrusted by someone to introduce you to you." Entrusted by someone? At the altar, the slightly lonely bridesmaid Riley was holding a bouquet and glanced here.
The aquiline nose that seemed to be used as a hook turned to the front. The woman's round and small eyes looked at Zach, "What does she want?" This was not a question, "I refuse them all." She directly expressed her attitude. The woman raised her hand, and the snakeskin handbag was opened, revealing a metal wine bottle, "But thank you for the gift."
There were also small sounds of thanks from the guests on Zach's other side. Walter only used a leaky 'tsk' and was pushed by Maggie.
Zach tilted his head slightly and said no polite words. He just nodded to show that he heard. Then he turned to the ugly woman. "I wasn't asked to ask for anything. She seemed to just want me to complete the introduction." Zach raised his eyebrows. "Let's get you off to a friendly start."
"Then she must have found the wrong person to entrust her to." The ugly woman took back her handbag, turned her head on the wrinkled neck, and glanced at Zach with round eyes, "Our relationship is not even friendly." She withdrew her gaze and spoke in a voice that was not loud enough for Zach to hear, "Because of you. I am imprisoned in this city, waiting to die."
"Haha." Zach smiled, "Isn't the sky in Barton broad enough? Is there any other place you want to go that you must go to?"
After a short silence. The ugly woman replied, "No, it's the same everywhere. She's just waiting to die."
"Then our agreement is no longer a restriction. Look, our relationship is still very friendly." Zach said this as he tilted his head.
"Do what you were entrusted with." The ugly woman shook her head helplessly and adjusted her posture on the seat, but her hunched back seemed to be unable to straighten up and she just rubbed against the backrest. "She Who is it?" She looked at Riley on the altar, "Which bloodline does she belong to, and what is she looking for me for?"
"Riley." Zach also glanced at Riley, "This is her name, and I don't know her bloodline, but since she came to Barton at the beginning of the year, these shouldn't be important, and she must have died. "Zac paused, "The decline of beauties is too common. If they can learn from their sisters, it will probably be much better."
Zach once said to Riley that if the charlatans could live in groups like the sirens, she, a predator, wouldn't be so bad at it.
Her thin lips twitched, and the ugly woman replied with an absolute tone, "How do we learn from different races?" She seemed to hate discussing this topic, "The emergence of these two races was a mistake, and their decline is not worth regretting."
"What you said is not sincere." Zach smiled and shook his head, "If it was a mistake, how could you keep making mistakes, and eventually become like this... where you can only wait for death?" You're welcome, and let me If people can't understand it, don't worry, everyone will understand.
But now, the music played by the band has completed its transformation, and two figures appear at the main entrance in the afternoon sunshine. The bride is here.
When the guests turned their heads to look at the bride entering the venue, Zach did the same, and then he saw that the person supporting the bride was James Lance.
Our vampire frowned, James, James.
"About mistakes." Looking sideways at the bride, she turned her dry and frizzy hair towards Zach's ugly woman and spoke, "There is always a chance of luck. This time, mistakes will be avoided." Apparently he was still talking to Zach. , "This is the reason why I became like this, I thought I would get away with it."
After all, foreigners still account for a minority among the guests in the entire auditorium. The bride, who was supported by James, quickly passed the last few rows of the interracial area. The eyes that turned to look at the bride also slowly turned around.
"I always thought..." Zach didn't want James' appearance to disturb his thinking, at least not now. He turned away his eyes completely, "Instead of regretting the so-called mistakes, it is better to regard them as achievements." Zach deliberately changed his mood, with a smile on his face, "Looking at you, I know that you have accomplished many achievements in your life. .”
"Haha." The ugly woman looked away for fear of being amused by Zach, stroking her own skinny and withered hands that had been tested with the claws of birds, "I always find the human saying of 'judging a book by its appearance' very ridiculous. Humans are I don’t know, but the species that really judges by appearance, huh, is me, the Winged Man.”
The ugly woman revealed her race.
"Indeed." She turned to Zach. There seemed to be something trembling in the hunchback that couldn't straighten up. Winged people, you guessed it, she smiled, an ugly smile, "I can also be very proud to say that I have accomplished countless achievements in my life. I gave birth to 124 winged people, 126 mermaids, 67 A siren, 65 beauties." There was sarcasm in her smile, "Once, my children could form a village, but now, it doesn't matter." Her wrinkled face twitched, "Look, this is nothing. What have I become of myself? So ugly and disgusting..."
In silence, Zach looked at the altar again. The two newlyweds were already standing facing each other, holding hands. Under the guidance of Constantine, they recited the oath of life union to each other.
When his eyes were about to move uncontrollably towards James standing behind Riley, Zach withdrew his eyes in time and returned to the conversation with the Winged Man. "I said this is a milestone in life." It was a tone of comfort and revelation. "You have passed the stage where you need to pass on your descendants. You have given your appearance and youth to these descendants..." Zach glanced at the truth. A woman so ugly that I don't want to waste words describing her. "It's time to start your own life."
"False self-comfort." The Winged Ugly Woman looked at the newlyweds on the altar. Constantine, who was holding the holy book, smiled slightly and said, "Please let the newlyweds exchange rings."
The ugly woman didn't finish her sentence, "Look at those two inheritors. This wedding is probably a milestone for them. Since the existence of living things in the world, no inheritor has truly ended the cycle of their lives. These two people's Combination. It’s also futile.”
Zach raised his eyebrows and looked sideways at the ugly woman who expressed this negative view, "Everyone knows the purpose of Cliff and Linda's marriage?"
"This is not the first time. He has tried it many times." The ugly woman twitched the corner of her mouth. He replied impatiently, "After all these times, the chocolates he gives are still cheap."
There was actually an echoing voice beside Zach. This exchange with Yiren was watched by the people around, and probably some people tried to join in.
"Maybe he can succeed this time." Zach ignored the others. "When I was still in the Secret Alliance, I heard that the Sabbat had mastered the method of captive inheritors, and there was a way to end their cycle. indefinite."
Zach narrowed his eyes, "Isn't the bride an outsider? But the bride's friend, James Lance, is from the West. General Lance, have you heard of it?" Zach's expression became normal, " Maybe they brought some new knowledge from the west.”
There was a little hesitation on the ugly woman's face, but she still spoke, "I was in the West District and heard some rumors about you and this Detective James Lance. What is your relationship with this detective?" ." explained, "Quist, Herman... some servants from the family have mentioned that you recommended this police detective to them."
The identity of this ugly woman is beginning to be revealed, but don't pay attention to this for now. Prioritize the next thing - the ugly woman looked around the 'people' around her, and she asked on behalf of all 'people', "You just put the west The Sabbat brought it up together with this detective, are you trying to imply that it is not convenient for you to do it yourself, so let us get rid of this detective."
Zach opened his mouth. It was his fault. He just combined some of the chaotic thoughts about James in his mind and said it out. He didn't want to have such a wrong hint. The surrounding alien races are still bound by Zach's agreement. If Zach asks them to do something, they don't have the strength to refuse.
"No." Zach pursed his lips and shook his head, "Consider this detective Grande's collaborator." Zach frowned, but added, "For now."
Zach shook his head, glanced at the 'people' around him, and finally stopped at the ugly woman, "I don't know how you got such an impression. During the years that Alpha and I lived in Barton, we didn't seem to ask for anything. But you have to serve Grande, and don’t have such thoughts in the future.”
Guests in the front row cheered as the couple shared their first kiss. Amidst the noise, the guests in the back row, including the ugly woman, all looked at Amelia. Fortunately, Amelia was so bored that she closed her eyes to concentrate. This wedding really had nothing to do with her.
Zach also glanced at Amelia, "That was a mistake, I'm trying to remedy it..." Zach automatically silenced himself, because he looked at a hand from behind and stretched out a note to the ugly woman's shoulder. superior.
This situation is a bit, uh, strange.
The ugly woman took it, unfolded it, looked back at the person who passed the note, and then calmly tore up the note, "Someone wants to know if the author of "Urban Legend" is really in Grande."
"That's right." Zach turned back, glanced at a guy who was hiding with his head down, shook his head, and was about to ignore it, but he wanted to thank the note from the guy who didn't dare to face the vampire himself for mentioning "Urban Legends". Zach continued to look sideways at the ugly woman, "As for Riley's work, you should know that she is in "Urban Legends"..." Zach silenced again.
Because, in Zach's field of vision, a hand reached out, crossed, and extended from the side of his head, holding a piece of paper between two fingers, tapping on the ugly woman's shoulder.
Well. Zach turned around, and the guy sitting on the other side of him suddenly retracted his hand, turned his head, and the half of his body close to Zach tensed up nervously.
Before Zach had time to express any opinion on this childish behavior, there was the sound of the note being torn away from the ugly woman, "He wants to know who the strange woman who came with you is. She can't feel it." , nor the face of a republic.”
Zach pursed his lips, but still answered, "It's a friend of Grand Skinchanger Jin, the 'ghost' of the Republic." Zach answered to the person who asked the question. The stiff guy felt that Zach Without any intention of turning away, he nodded stiffly, "I know, I know."
Zach nodded, looked away, and continued to face the ugly woman, "About Riley..." A hand holding a note touched the ugly woman's shoulder again.
Zach frowned and looked at the person who handed the note. The guy sitting behind the ugly woman trembled and tilted his head, "It came from behind!"
Zach shook his head helplessly, but the ugly woman was already tearing up the note again, "Someone wants to know if your new descendant is the original 'General' in the southeast. During the previous chat, the probing questions were not accepted. .”
Zach raised his eyebrows and first looked in the direction of the 'general'. At this time, he was being pulled by Rita with an embarrassed look on his face, sitting next to the mind-reading family. The reason why 'General' and Rita are together is because mind readers are popular, which makes it suitable for 'General', a new member of the Barton alien race, to appear. Think about the vampires and Alphas who first came to Barton. People who read minds dared to take them in and help them. Naturally, they had a lot of good karma.
Then among the people in the back row, Zach saw a guy looking straight at this side, obviously telling Zach that the note was written by him.
Zach nodded in that direction, "Yes."
A new note was sent, and the ugly woman's actions were repeated, "Someone wants to know..."
The guests in front have already fallen into 'chaos' and the bride is about to throw the bouquet. (.)
