When the Wind and Winds left, they made it clear that they would continue their ongoing campaign of 'spreading resignation methods'. In this regard, James had nothing to say but 'warn' these two people not to be caught by Police Barton. Bureau is now.
Zach's proposal to send the two back was rejected. The werewolf and the vampire exchanged tacit glances. Zach stayed in James' attic, while Benjamin followed the Windrush couple and walked onto Lister Street.
"What did you pay for." Benjamin walked next to Sibella. It looked like an ordinary shopping family, with a son in his prime and old parents. "What did you pay for the midnight deal with Papa?" ?”
Corden pulled his wife and glared at the werewolf, "This has nothing to do with you!"
Sibella put her thin hand on her husband's shoulder, "It doesn't matter, he is the good one, I can feel it."
Zach once explained the relationship between werewolves and wizards, despite my constant harassment, and I think you need to know that too.
Very, very early on, in colonial times, werewolves and wizards were one family. Yes, mine is, one! Home! people!
Under the bloodline of wizards, some children inherited the abilities of their parents, and some children had no talent. So in order to protect their homeland from the invasion of colonists, wizards asked their ancestor Papa Midnight for help. So those children who did not have the talent to become wizards accepted the blood of the vampire 'Gangro', bore the curse of the full moon, and became werewolves.
And we know that times are always changing. When the Federation was established, wizards were still wizards, and they were legal residents of the Federation, but those who had dedicated their bodies and souls had no homes to protect and became aliens.
So those werewolves left their homes with loneliness, hid in the mountains and forests, looked for their own kind, and formed a new family - a wolf pack. The 'beasts' created for the purpose of protection eventually returned to the original intention of protecting the family.
There is no need to feel any sadness at this time, because there are also wizards who cannot let go of their former brothers and family members and join the wolf pack. This is a heartwarming story. Taking this as a legacy, powerful wolves will be accompanied by wizards.
As I said, times are always changing.
The prosperity of the Federation is the prosperity of people. Alien races began to be marginalized and turned into 'monsters'. This is the time when you should be sad, because the wizard who hid in the mountains and forests for his former family will die, but the wolves will always exist, and the majority is growing.
It is impossible to verify which side spilled the first drop of blood. Some wolves began to prey on wizards, and some wizards became hunters, and this era continues.
So when Sibella was 'good' this time, Benjamin was serious. After living together in Barton City for more than ten years, this single Alpha had never bothered the Hayate family.
"I gave myself." Silbera didn't look at Benjamin, but pressed her right hand on her left breast, "When I..."
Benjamin's silent head, Papa Midnight would not force his descendants to die, and then become a Death Apostle. Sibella offered her 'life' after death in exchange for Papa's help at midnight.
"You should come to Grande." Benjamin thought for a while and said, "Alice can help you."
Alice is a banshee, she can see death. If you want to escape death and delay the fate of becoming Papa's midnight death disciple, Alice is the only way.
Bella had a helpless smile on her face: "It was Papa Midnight, he never cared about this! He just wanted to watch us 'perform' under the rules he set, and I won't use my life to entertain him!" "
The werewolf chuckled. This was the most objective evaluation of Papa Midnight he had ever heard. Remember what vampires said about Papa Midnight? Would go to church looking for guys to beat. Benjamin put away his smile and sighed helplessly: "Now, what you are doing may be what he wants to see."
With a wry smile on her face, Sibella acquiesced.
Benjamin said goodbye to the Gale and his wife at the end of Lister Street. He said "take care" at the end and turned back to James' home.
The living room of James's house was still made of sand that was no different from stone. The crystal coffee table in front of Zach was covered with white paper. Zach held the pen and drew a simple structural diagram on the paper.
At the top of the tree structure is written 'Papa Midnight', with question marks below. Below, are written all the names of the suicides that James knows, as well as more question marks.
This structure is already very obvious. If Papa Midnight is regarded as the boss of a company, then the second level of question marks are the managers in the middle, and the next ones are the bottom-line employees.
James stared at the bottom, frowned and asked, "Why do you conclude that those who commit suicide are all people at the bottom?"
"Because they are the ones who will do things." Zach said matter of course: "The middlemen are only responsible for recruitment. They know that no matter who they kill, he will be resurrected and become an employee. Is this the pressure that requires suicide? No."
"I need more evidence!" James stared at the vampire.
"This is your evidence." Zach took out the "Urban Legend" weekly that had been stuffed in his pocket, turned to the article with an unusually convoluted name, and pointed at the words quoted by the author from the deceased's family and friends. Every deceased person was struck by unexpected good luck before committing suicide.
James read it patiently, these are no secrets. The reason why this suicide case attracted attention is not only the weird method, but also the fact that everyone chooses to end their life when their life is being favored, which is very abnormal.
"Is this true?" James read the entire article unconsciously: "This midnight exchange? This was opened by Papa at midnight."
"Uh--" Zach curled his lips: "Of course it's not true! You are a Patton police officer. Have you seen this place on the Patton map?" Zach smiled: "But it (referring to the article) has a pair, and the employees get it The wages were paid, but the work was not completed.”
James threw away the magazine and asked what kind of job it was. Zach said, "It's a job that I don't want to do even if I die."
"What are we going to do?" James picked up the paper on the coffee table irritably and stared at the 'Papa Midnight' at the top.
"You're looking at the wrong place." Zach directly held down James' hand, tore off the top 'Papa Midnight', and waved it in front of James with a sarcastic smile: "This guy, Don't even think about it." Zach tore off a bunch of names and question marks at the bottom and threw them on the coffee table: "Give these to Mr. and Mrs. Gale. You can't deny that they are very good at these."
Zach finally pointed to the big question mark in the middle: "This is what we want to do."
James' eyes were still lingering on the question marks that were torn off and placed on the coffee table. He didn't know how many people in Barton City would commit suicide using such weird methods in the future! Such unknowns troubled him.
After a moment of silence, James withdrew his gaze and stared at the big question mark still in his hand: "How do we find this, or these middlemen?"
Zach nodded with satisfaction and patted James on the shoulder: "Your deceased was kidnapped before. It wasn't the Gale and his wife, so who do you think it was? Detective Lance, work harder and do your job well. We will find him." of."
The goal was clear and James got to work.
