The van carrying human Lip's body returns to Grande, and our vampire Zack isn't really ordered around by a weird old man who's just loud and breathy enough.
After giving Zach a heavy snort, Old Hank said "Never mind!" and continued to wander outside with the Great Dane angrily. For a while, he didn't want to see this junior who ruined his reputation. , because Zach gave two reasons why he would not send Lip back -
First of all, it wasn't quite a cleanup job. Mr. Green requested a funeral. The only special thing was that it was to be done in secret. Haha, this was obviously proposed by Zach, but now it has turned into... Forget it, we still need to be surprised by Zach's ability to distort facts. Continuing, a funeral home is a person who also works for the living. The father wants to hold a secret funeral for his son who committed suicide. As the owner of the funeral home, Zach cannot refuse.
Then, Lip is a dream demon and an alien. 'Hank, this is an alien matter. I remember you expressed it clearly that you don't want to deal with alien matters...'
As a result, Old Hank no longer even had the heart to defend his professional ethics, whistled to summon the Great Dane, and walked away without wanting to look at Zach again.
Returning to Grande's backyard with a somewhat helpless mood, before Zach could urge James to drive his own car and leave quickly, he spotted a row of people sitting on the back porch. This made the vampire raise an eyebrow, then smile, and Brian finally woke up.
Zach jumped out of the car, "Matthew, extra money." Pointing to the trunk, he arranged the work, "Go to the warehouse to find a coffin and a blank stone tablet..."
Matthew looked at Zach in confusion, then at Benjamin, "Oh." He agreed honestly. The instruction he received before was just to dig a random hole in Beiyuan.
Zach didn't explain much, "Remember to bring a copy of the Holy Scripture when you go. Read two passages from the Gospel or something when you bury it..." Secret funeral...
While giving this order, he walked towards the back porch. The guy in the childish T-shirt began to tense up unnaturally and dodge his eyes, so Zakzak's smile became more and more obvious.
This shows that the other party is Ryan, who is unwilling to have contact with vampires. Just imagine what would happen if it was Brian. Like every child who knows he has made a mistake. Act coquettishly and ask for forgiveness. Is it suitable to match his adult body? Fortunately, this picture did not appear.
Louise stood up from the bench on the back porch and walked towards Zach. Just in time, Zach raised his hand and said, "Louise, I need a drink..." Before repairing the failed Charming Eye product, Zach was going to save some money first. force. Food is needed to store energy.
"Uh..." Louise did not obey the instructions of her boss, a vampire who was also her boyfriend. Instead, to Zach's surprise, she gave him a very gentle hug, and at the same time turned Zach around as he just walked up the stairs. "How about we go over there and have a chat first?"
Zach blinked. Every act of intimacy initiated by Louise was not a 'good thing'. Our vampire quickly thought about the possibility when his body was held by Louise and turned forcefully, "What do you want to talk about?"
Zach felt the Toledo aura disappear from Grande. The 'general' is gone, is that it? "Where's 'General'?" Louise hugged him ambiguously. Zack asked as he walked towards the warehouse.
"Oh, he left not long after you guys left, taking four cans of food and some clothes, um. And some cash." It seems not, Louise answered completely while thinking, which means She was unprepared, and since she dared to take Zach away to talk about things alone, how could she be unprepared? "Well, there's also the Jeep."
"It's good here." Zach stood still and looked in the direction. Louise wanted to take him to Benjamin's warehouse to talk about things properly and alone. But Zach wasn't going to let Louise, a smart woman, succeed. He curled his lips and glanced at the row of people on the back porch who were starting to look unnatural, "Just say it here."
"Uh..." Louise subconsciously glanced in the direction of the back porch. This was different from her plan of using her female advantage to distract Zach while saying that it would probably make him angry - the sun was still there. Hanging in the sky, everyone in Grande secretly glanced at where they were standing in the backyard. Even Louise didn't dare to do anything 'out of the ordinary'...
"Why don't we start with why Alice is so nervous, but Ryan looks so gloating." Zach raised his eyebrows and gave a hint.
"I can't see Ryan." This sentence was said subconsciously, and it was a little irritated.
Zach immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing. The 'General' had just left. Louise's sensitive heart might be fermented because Zach made a descendant but it was not her. She looked at Louise and said, "Louise, I Give you the choice..."
Louise shook her head quickly, "Now is not the time to talk about this." She also looked at Zach and waved her hand, "Promise not to be angry first."
Benjamin, who was walking by to help Matthew move the tombstone, shrugged at Zach and raised his ears, making no secret of his eavesdropping behavior. Zach ignored it, "I promise."
"Papa found Alice at midnight on the days when you went to the mill—when Herman was working with the mill, and when you took Brian with you."
Zach was silent at first, and then immediately turned and walked to the back porch. Now was not the time to be angry about why he was not notified of such a thing, but to confirm whether Grande's sister, Alice, was okay!
Louise would have misunderstood and pulled Zach's arm uselessly, "Hey, I promise you won't be angry!"
"I didn't." Zach replied, and at the same time looked at Alice, as if Alice would also get the wrong idea and throw herself into Mo's arms. Zach frowned, it didn't feel good to be misunderstood, but he still stopped, glanced at Louise, and then tilted his head towards Benjamin, making it obvious.
Benjamin no longer had the teasing expression of eavesdropping. He threw the blank tombstone to Matthew and walked to the back porch.
"Hey! Benjamin..."
"No one is angry. We just want to make sure Alice is okay. You can continue." Zach shook his head helplessly at Louise, "How did Papa find Alice at midnight."
"Oh, oh." Louise still seemed unsure and saw Benjamin walking up to the back porch. After squeezing out the illusion, she patted Alice's shoulder comfortingly before continuing, "The "Cook's Kitchen Collector's Edition" video tape was sent as a 'lucky gift for loyal viewers' when it was mailed."
Zach raised his eyebrows, it was the video tape again.
Damn Papa Midnight. Wasn't it funny in the video
"While Alice was watching, Papa showed up at midnight, and neither you nor Benjamin were there..." Zach was at the mill, and Benjamin was at Newton Comic Con. This happens again!
"Why wasn't I notified? Grande to Mill, a 20-minute drive, or a phone call, 30 seconds?"
"Because." Louise's expression became serious, even disappointed. "The last time Papa tried to take someone from Grande in the middle of the night, you sent him out."
Zach opened his mouth, Ian? Yes, last time, Papa went in a big circle to play with Grande at midnight, just for Alpha's cub and Zach's Ian. Alpha did bring back the wolf cub Matthew, but what about Ian? Zach sent it out, in person.
etc! Zach’s self-awareness is certainly important. But what’s more important is what Louise means! Who is Papa Midnight trying to steal from Grande this time? Alice!
"Why do you think Alice asked John if he would come back to Grande before?" Louise also shook her head. "Because she doesn't know if your brother will 'let' her go, but she knows that her biological brother who found her after such a hard time will not!"
Zach frowned, "Louise, your words are too strong, do you really think so."
Louise continued to shake her head, "It's not whether I think it or not. It's just a girl's 'thinking'." The gap between teenagers and adults lies in the maturity of thinking, "Alice doesn't know how to face this kind of thing, She only knows one thing, she doesn’t want to leave at midnight with Papa.”
Zach's frown did not relax. "That's different from Ian's situation. Ian wants to leave, and I respect his will. If Alice doesn't want to leave, I will protect her from being taken away."
"Respecting other people's will is a gentleman's behavior." Louise lost her serious expression, "Do you want a girl to understand."
On the back porch, Alice had turned from Mo's arms to Benjamin's arms, saying the same thing with a choked voice. Benjamin's reply was simple, "Then I will tear Papa Midnight apart again."
Simple and clear, this is behavior a girl can understand. Rather than Zach's 'respect'.
Zach looked away and raised his eyebrows, but his mood was not that good. "Go on, Alice's mood has been a little better these days. What happened, right?"
Zach hasn't realized what this has to do with Brian, so there's no rush.
"Papa disappeared at midnight, from the video tape." Louise also changed her tone, "After Si Bella's barrier was unfolded, a video tape was burned. The remaining Alice checked it many times, but there was no trace of it again. Found his trace."
"Remember to remind me to thank Si Bella and the others for this matter." I don't know how sincere Zach's words were. Without any warning, Zach began to wave his hands in the air, "Ryan, you want to continue to be trapped in the bottle. Well, if you don’t want to, don’t scream next to me.”
Because Ryan didn't put any kindly 'reminder' to Zach, "Look, the black witch is the black witch! She will think about this behind your back! How much love do you think you two have! She is just too weak now and uses you to protect her. It’s just me! All black witches are like this! And your woman missed a paragraph! They even did it behind your back... "
Louise couldn't hear it anymore, but she was obviously not going to help Ryan increase his presence and ask questions. She just pulled Zach's waving hand and reminded her man to please pay attention when talking to her, "In Pa Before Pa disappeared at midnight, there was one more thing about Ryan."
Zach glanced at Ryan on the back porch and motioned for Louise to continue.
"Ryan woke up once. You played the videotape to Ryan when you first came back, remember?"
Zach nodded, remembering that he was out the door after that, and Grande was once again unprotected. He frowned, "Papa showed up at midnight."
Louise nodded, "He suppressed Brian directly, asked Ryan to come out, and told Ryan to leave Grande." Louise's tone began to become a little helpless, "At that time, Alice found out that Ryan had seen Papa. At midnight, more stressful things were exposed, maybe I didn’t think clearly at all... "
Zach sighed, "The first reaction should be that Ryan should not let the news about Papa appearing in Grande at midnight." Recall whether this is actually the case (Volume xxi, Chapter 14). Zach still had a helpless tone, "Especially if you can't let me know." Because as I said just now, in the girl's mind, Zach's 'respect for the will of others' is not so easily recognized.
Louise thought for a moment and nodded, "Then I found out that Papa wanted Ryan to leave Grande at midnight, so the choice was obvious." Louise pursed her lips, "Let Ryan go back and let Brian out."
Zach thought for a while, with a positive expression on his face, "That's right. Whatever Papa wishes for at midnight, we don't wish for anything." Zach was adjusting his gentlemanly style and leaning on Benjamin's style. After all, , this is the behavior that can comfort Alice, isn't it
Louise breathed a sigh of relief, and Zach agreed, that would be easy, "Then actually Alice knew earlier than you that Brian's medicine was the reason why Ryan fell asleep."
Zach curled his lips and had a relaxed expression. At least Alice didn't use witchcraft. "The last time Moorman sent Brian back, I don't remember preparing too much medicine..." Zach thought of something. (Volume xxii, Chapter 6).
"Huh. It was very dangerous that time." Louise tried her best to use a relaxed tone, "You were in the basement, and Ryan was trying to escape in Moorman's car." Louise couldn't care less that this was the backyard, and put her hands down Reaching Zach's chest, "It's happening right before your eyes, or in front of your eyes~"
Zach was already familiar with Louise's tricks. Forget it, just cooperate and relaxed his voice, "Mollman was just scared by Riley at that time. Alice moved very quickly. I was still curious about the breakfast that day. . What about today? Why did Ryan wake up?" Zach raised his eyebrows, "Wait a minute, tell me first why Ryan slept for so long." The relaxed tone did not mean to question at all. I don't know if this is true. .
Louise wasn't going to let Zach pay any more attention to Alice, "Danny, we all know that nothing will happen to Brian when he sleeps, so we all hope so." Then the illusion came true. It has nothing to do with taking too many sedative drugs at once and being saved by vampire blood. There has not been any breakthrough in human medicine...
Zach is not prepared to comment on this kind of behavior that keeps people asleep for the sake of his own sex. Believe me, there are many things that Zach does not want to comment on because he is a gentleman and must respect the will of others...
"Now, you don't hope so?" Zach was really questioning.
"No." Louise curled her lips, "Ryan said that the dream demon Lip said that the time was up and drove him out of the dream."
Zach raised one eyebrow high, then turned his head and looked at Matthew, who was about to leave for the tomb area, "Matthew, read a few more passages of the gospel, and then observe a moment of silence, just symbolically."
"Oh." The young wolf honestly accepted the boss's instructions and started the hearse. The hearse swept out of Grande's backyard, swirling dust at an abnormal speed. Matthew was a terrible driver, remember that, and now it looks like he hasn't improved at all. (.)
