"Sorry for interrupting earlier." As soon as the car left Grande's backyard, Zach in the passenger seat apologized to Blake.
"It's okay, how is Louise?" Blake held the steering wheel. After lunch, he gave up on talking to Zach again. Unexpectedly, Zach asked him to give him a ride. The reason, of course, is that Zach was summoned by the police station as a witness.
Zach frowned, finding himself unable to answer the question. He pursed his lips and was silent for a while. When the scenery outside the car window changed from a gravel road to Route 27, he changed the topic directly, "You seem to have something to tell me."
"Oh." Blake naturally consciously refused to ask, "When I was at home... at Stone Manor, I attended a few banquets with the family. You know, the daily life of people in the West End is actually very boring, and their spare time is just that... "
"He doesn't know." The one who suddenly interrupted was the undead Jackson who was pretending to be 'sitting' in the back seat. His tone was a little strange, "Grand doesn't have a spare time life. Things happen one after another and it can't stop at all. .”
Zach ignored it and continued to face Blake, "Did anything special happen at the party?"
"Yeah." Blake gave Jackson a don't interrupt expression from the rearview mirror. After all, Zach was just taking a ride to the Southern District Police Station. The drive was very short, and what he wanted to say needed to be finished in this short period of time. , no time to be interrupted.
"Although I have rarely lived in Barton since college, I know most of the banquet planners in the West End. I met them too many when I was a kid. Some of the waiters and suppliers are at least familiar." Blake was about to interrupt again in Jackson Be the first to say 'Me too', "Children in the West End are basically like this."
Zach nodded, did not comment, and signaled to continue.
"For example, that Mrs. Quinn's dinner party you attended before, um. It was nominally for Porky when he came back from the nursing home. The supplies for the banquet were handled by a contractor named Sheila... "
"Sheila." Zach suddenly interjected, the ugly woman at Cliff's wedding, who combined with the mermaid to give birth to the female line of sirens and mermaids, Winged Man, "Mrs. Sheila, we know each other."
There was doubt on Blake's face.
"She's a winged person." Zach glanced sideways at Jackson. "One of the aliens who has lived in the West District for a long time. She is now helping the mesmerizing Riley to replenish the supplies of the Bishop Manor. Shel's evil spirit makes the work of maintaining the manor very difficult." He briefly explained the situation. Regardless of how much Blake could understand, "Does the fact that you mentioned her specifically have anything to do with what you want to say?"
"Uh..." Blake shook his head and suppressed his first question, 'Are there many foreign races in the West District?' "No, no, it's just an example, but when En mentions her, her appearance will come to mind, and it will be difficult to ignore her." Because she was too ugly, the image in her mind was too strong.
Blake pursed his lips in embarrassment. Since Zach knows him, then Zach must understand. "Anyway, she has been a long-term business partner with several of our families. Most of the banquet supplies go through her, but this time at the banquet at Quinn Manor, it was not her."
Blake frowned and told what he wanted to express as clearly as possible, "After the explosion in Becky's transport truck. Quinn's banquet was mainly for charity. Mrs. Quinn wanted to mobilize everyone to provide some supplies for the injured. Help. Most of the families participated, like Smith, Patton, Falcon, some media from the North District... We Stone, and even Pixar, which had left the West District for a long time, after all, Pixar Department Store was the first to respond. Rescue work began. "
Zach didn't push him. If Blake felt that these explanations were necessary, there was nothing wrong with listening to them.
"Then there was no surprise. I was banned. The family didn't want me to talk nonsense when the media was around, well..." He glanced at Jackson in the rearview mirror and stopped talking. As long as Zach understands, " So I was bored and just wandering around outside the manor. Then, I accidentally discovered... "
Blake's expression became serious, "Mr. Smith was talking to an Indian I didn't know outside the venue. It seemed that they didn't want to be disturbed. They stopped when they noticed me and introduced me to the ceremony."
Zach already had a premonition. The clues are slightly obvious, among the Indians in the West End, or at Quinn's banquet.
"Boisen, Smith introduced him as the material supplier for this banquet." Blake continued, "I didn't think anything of it. It was normal for Mrs. Quinn to meet some Indians. After the basic social interaction, I I left. I don’t know if Mr. Smith and he continued to talk, but just when the banquet was over and everyone was about to leave, this man, um, the supplier Boyson came to me. He... um, it seemed that he was interested in me. I'm interested."
Damn Blake, he's actually blushing! Well.
Zach felt that Blake's dangerous thoughts should be dispelled as soon as possible. Although most Indians are tall and strong, they may be Blake's type, but... everyone knows, that's Boysen!
"Boisen is a wizard. Now I can tell you clearly that he is my enemy." Zach said very directly, "His relationship with Mrs. Quinn, Mrs. Quinn also came to see me a few days ago. , made it clear that he was troubled, so don’t believe what the supplier says, this guy is very dangerous.”
Zach narrowed his eyes, "And I can probably guess his purpose of approaching Smith." Don't forget who made Barton's local 'Valmina'!
"But I'm not worried about Smith." There was a smile on Zach's lips. Don't forget, Boyson's name has been clearly informed by Benjamin to Eve Rimmer, who plays Smith's stepdaughter! Boysen was courting death by approaching Smith. If Boysen's luck is 'good' enough, hehe, his hostile relationship with Zach will be destroyed by the anger of Rimmer's 'Valmina' being plagiarized without Zach's action.
Zach looked at Blake again, who was struggling to digest, "It seems you haven't finished speaking yet."
"Yes... yes." Blake seemed to be in a bad situation now. No matter what he said, Zach would add a lot of disturbing information. But the real unease was about to begin, "He said something that I didn't quite understand. He said, and I quote, 'There's something about me that amazes him.'"
Damn Blake. His face turned red again.
But immediately, he shook his head to get rid of this embarrassing performance, "Just after that banquet, I noticed that some strangers, men, began to appear around me. But they were all... well, beautiful." Blake frowned, as if He doesn't like handsome men... Sorry, now is not the time to focus on Blake's preferences.
"After finishing the work assigned by the mayor, I had nothing to do at home. In order to avoid some disputes with my parents, I usually avoid meal time these days and resolve them outside. Then I discovered that these people, They always appear around me. Pay attention to my actions. Even sometimes when I return to the manor, I can find them outside the manor, trying to confront or notify the security, but they disappear. I think, they are there Follow me…”
Blake wanted to continue, but Zach raised his hand to interrupt.
He glanced sideways at Jackson with a thoughtful expression, "I think I know what Boyson is talking about. I also know who the people who are following you are." Zach twitched the corner of his mouth and withdrew his gaze. "Let me confirm one thing first. Did these people disappear after returning to the North District?"
"Yeah." Blake nodded.
Zach also nodded, "The thing that Boyson said that amazed him was the contract that John cast on you and Jackson. Boyson is the one who belongs to Papa Midnight, and John can modify Papa Midnight's witchcraft." The wizard. Papa Midnight is the ancestor of wizards. Can you understand these connections?"
Blake opened his mouth and nodded reluctantly.
"As for those beautiful men." Zach shook his head, "They are Siren, the Siren modified by Papa Midnight. Just like the Charming Demon has no male, the Siren also has no male. He has no ability to inherit the race. Before You should have heard of the inexplicable fires that broke out in the South and North Districts. It was them." Zach curled his lips, "To put it simply, the South and North Districts of Barton were set up to prohibit people like them from being beaten. Modified creatures entered at midnight." Zack shrugged, "John's work too."
Therefore, in the southern and northern areas where the barrier changed the laws of the world, the world's punishment wiped out the modified Kraken, but in the western area, it still remained.
We have all ignored it before. The purpose of Papa's creation of these mutant sea monsters at midnight is still unclear. No one has considered that these soy sauce things have not appeared before, and they can reappear in the West District.
"Uh..." Blake seemed to have a hard time understanding, but still tried to continue, "Well, that can explain some things, well, it's also the reason why I want to talk to you about this matter."
The speed of the car began to slow down, and the Southern District Police Station appeared in sight.
Blake's expression was ugly, "In the past few days, whether I was taking a lunch break or going to bed at night, I kept having the same dream over and over again. I don't think this is normal. It probably has something to do with alien races."
Zach raised his eyebrows and wanted to correct him. Aliens were normal, but most people didn't understand them. Think about it or forget it, Blake should realize this for himself.
"In the dream, these strange, beautiful men were singing to me. I couldn't understand the language they were singing in, but the weird thing was I knew the meaning - 'Save us, help us get rid of Boyson, save us.' "
"You're so long-winded." Jackson found an opportunity to interject during the silence between the two people in the front seat. "Isn't it the end of the story? I'm going to start from the beginning. Isn't it shameful to dream about a man singing? Isn't it embarrassing for you? First… "
"The siren, like the succubus, uses sound to enchant." Zach interrupted Jackson, "You are not dreaming, you are being seduced."
"Oh." Jackson's head crossed the gap between the front seats and looked at Blake's red face, "That's really shameful."
Blake waved Jackson's hand back and frowned, "Then what should I do."
"Stay in the North District." Zach frowned, he was already thinking about other things, "Boisen and those male sirens cannot enter the South and North Districts, and you will not be harassed here. "
Harassment-, yes, this is how Zach characterized the strange encounter Blake took advantage of this ride to describe. It was just a few strange dreams, nothing to worry about.
And the Kraken that Zach knew was more than just causing people to have strange dreams. The strongest predatory race, remember? The seductress Riley has taken over the Bishop Manor, and all these male sirens can do is make Blake blush. If they are people with other general attributes, they probably won't take them seriously at all.
And what is the meaning of the message they convey in the charm, save them
The sirens who lost their inheritance appeared as men due to the re-creation of Papa Midnight. This should be the gospel of their race. What needs to be saved
"Just, is that okay? Then, what they sang..."
Zach waved his hand, "It sounds like they are asking for help. The reason is probably the same as Boyson's interest in you, thinking that witchcraft can help them. And because the contract witchcraft on your body was cast by John, it makes them feel hopeful. . But, in fact, none of us know witchcraft, right?" Zach spread his hands, "If you have time, you can ask John and Sibella."
This means not wanting to care anymore.
Zach felt it was not enough, and glanced at Blake, who actually nodded seriously and was considering Zach's suggestion, "But you don't have time. This vacation is over, and you have to be busy with Anthony's campaign. Don't be distracted."
Blake opened his mouth and nodded, "Yes, yes."
Zach smiled and patted Blake's shoulder. The other hand was already unbuckling the seat belt. The police station arrived, "Thank you for giving me a ride. Don't think too much. You should fully realize some things now. If it's beyond your ability, just do what you can do well. This..." Zach opened the car door, glanced at the door of the Southern District Police Station, and twitched his lips, "This is important to everyone, including me. , also applies.”
Yes, Zach still doesn’t know why he was summoned to the police station! I hope that Weiss, who is already walking this way at the door of the police station, can give him a hint.
Blake's car turned around and left, and Zach also raised his hand, shielding the sun from the sun and facing Wes, who had a wrinkled face. It was worth noting that Wes had a few band-aids on his face, which was a bit joyful.
"You know I was called as a witness?" Zach's face in the shadows smiled.
"I know." Wes's voice was low. After meeting Zach, he quickly turned around and acted like he was leading the way, but he looked around, obviously not wanting to be discovered that he was leaking the police procedures in advance, "It's because of me. "
Zach raised his eyebrows, said nothing, walked cooperatively beside Wes, and entered the police station.
"The missing nursing home nurse you asked me to pay attention to before, he came back yesterday." After entering the police station, Weiss' voice became even lower, "Because of his disappearance, he is a suspect in the fire in the nursing home, but He said he was with you when the fire broke out, and you are the witness that clears him from suspicion."
While listening to Wes' words, Zach looked at the South District Police Station. It was a little empty. Zach knew the reason. Yesterday afternoon, he was urgently transferred to the North District Police Station.
Now is not the time for explanations. At this point in the process of guiding Zach to the hearing room, Wes wanted to finish what he had to say, "You should have been summoned yesterday. But the attack at the North District Police Station was too sudden, and everyone was taken away. The case bureau of the nursing home before going to the hospital didn't want to be brought up (because it was not resolved last time, so it would be unresolved), so it temporarily left him alone for a day, and only informed you to come here today. "
Zach nodded slightly to show that he understood, and at the same time he saw the door of the interrogation room.
"He knows what you are, I mean he knows what you are..." Behind Wes, there was already a police officer holding documents walking towards this side.
Wes couldn't say more—
"Rookie! Give it to me and this..." The police officer flipped through the documents, "Mr. Grande, bring me two cups of coffee!" The guy smiled at Zach and opened the door of the interrogation room, "Please come in, it's okay. Son, it’ll be fine in a moment.” (.)
