"Where are you going?" Zach watched James put a glass of water into Sloan's hand, then turned around and left, not expecting his question to be answered.
"Do my job." James glanced at Zach and left in the west direction, "Go to the cemetery." Are you going to talk to the security guards of Saidil? yes.
"You're on vacation, James." Zach smiled, so it was just a thoughtful reminder. Of course Zach will not stop James. He is very virtuous without encouragement. Don't forget the 'General' who has nothing. Don't forget Coulson. Don't forget. Don't forget Southeast, Southeast. From the beginning of chaos and the continuous production of corpses, to the way it is now cleaned up, the process is still a mystery. Aix Security Company was opened inexplicably amid this mystery.
Zach didn't need to worry about James being entangled in the two versions of Sloan's reality, and the son of the general found a new goal.
James subconsciously touched the police badge on his waist. Fortunately, Zach reminded him that the thing on his waist now has no effect at all.
"Matthew and Danny are going to the cemetery to prepare the graves of Lang and Mrs. Donna. You can go with them." Zach reminded them.
James' eyes were prompted and locked on Matthew and Danny who were preparing tools in the warehouse. He expressed his position as he walked, "I won't help you work."
"Don't be ridiculous James, our Grande has employees working on it, it's not your turn yet." Zach smiled and waved his hand, no longer paying attention.
Harrison, who had nothing to do, approached Zach and said, "Can I come with you?" Probably explaining to himself, "I want to make myself useful."
Zach frowned slightly, "Harrison, you don't need to make yourself useful in Grande. You have your own life to go back to, but you're just not ready yet."
"Haha." Zack's conscience spoke bluntly, but it seemed to have no effect. Harrison smiled dryly and shook his head, "You mean the human job that I don't remember at all, and the girlfriend I have no memory of at all. Haha..." Speak and be obedient. Everyone was embarrassed. Immediately, the faces of those who were listening became worse—
"But I know that I am a foreigner. You are a foreigner, and you are a powerful foreigner. You have your own circle and gather..." Harrison's eyes turned around Grande. Although the people were not uniform, his views should be clear. Clear. "Haha, I don't remember, but my last death seems to have been caused by me not being in your circle." Do you remember, when Harrison asked Zach this, Zach acquiesced, "This time Reborn, I want to stay in this circle.”
It was James who looked terrible. What was even worse was that Harrison had included him, the human detective, in Grande's circle. Or will he see another alien in Grande again
The other party said so, and Zach really had nothing to refute. After paying attention to James's expression, he gave a look that was just a hair away from showing off, and then looked back at Harrison, "Okay, but your human identity will not disappear, James." The police can prove that your missing case is still pending at the North District Police Station. People who care about you are still waiting for news about you. One day you will return to your original identity, and you should be prepared."
Harrison smiled, nodded, walked towards James, patted the gloomy-faced detective, and greeted Matthew and Danny who were ready to go. The exchange between them began, "Zach told me that Amelia called the police because of me, and was she dragged there by you, Detective? Detective Lance, haha, you are a good person, thank you... "
We just ignore them.
Speaking of which, this conversation, in which Zach called Sloan out of the basement, completely deviated from the original purpose when Zach made an "inadvertent" decision to let James go to the water. Zach was going to help Sloan, remember. Time to get back to business.
Zach sat down next to Sloan, who was swaying irritably. "I won't be distracted now. You said you had some trouble getting Lip back."
"I also said that guys like you won't understand!" Sloan was not in a good mood. The reason why he was willing to come out was not to tell Zach and James a bunch of discarded 'reality', but Not even to discuss his difficulties with the vampire. Maybe it just needs some fresh air.
"Indeed." Zach shrugged, "Vampires have never paid much attention to the alien souls. To a certain extent, we believe that the alien souls are the bottom class of this world, and it doesn't matter whether they exist or not." This view is solid. Ke expressed that when Crowley first appeared, Zach described the division of species that had an impact on the world - humans at the top and wandering spirits at the bottom.
Zach continued, "But soul aliens exist, so in several centuries of life, I have some opinions about soul aliens other than that I just restrain them." This is a sentence with a tone of racial pride, "Maybe Can I help you?"
Sloan glanced at Zach, yes, and then rolled his eyes, thinking that he would not be discovered, "Do you know the process of transforming from an earthbinder to another alien soul?"
This is just a probing question to determine whether Zach has the knowledge base to continue the conversation. After all, the vampires who were deprived of any possibility of spiritual achievements by the Holy Lord, and the earthbound spirits are just the difference between terrestrial and aquatic species. Two alien races that have taken completely different paths, and knowing more about them is too much.
As a result, this probing question seduced Ryan.
Sloan glanced at Ryan and asked, "Is this Sibella's son?" He glanced at Zach again unhappily, "What does this guy do?"
Zach looked helplessly at Ryan's careless look, "This guy's soul attracting grass broke once before. This guy tried to become something other than an earthbinder, but we stopped him." He shook his head, "He just Just don't give up, don't worry about him. So Sloan answered your question, I know." Zach raised his eyebrows, not wanting to say too harshly, "It may not be accurate, but in general, I still know."
"Then you know the 'boundary'." Sloan stopped caring about Ryan and continued.
"I know that the boundary of the world, once the earth-bound spirit crosses the boundary and breaks away from the reality it is attached to, the form of life will change." Zach answered.
Sloan had no comment. "Vampires are still creatures under the faith of the Holy Lord. You should be aware of the so-called soul judgment."
Zach showed a smile and said, "Entrust the independent decision-making of the form of future life to the 'result' of faith. Use faith as the standard of judgment, open the boundaries of the world in the direction of the decision given by faith, and become a dead spirit. Go to heaven. Or hell.”
"Hmph. What would happen if there was no 'entrustment' to faith." Sloan was still testing Zak's knowledge.
"Everything is possible." Zac gave the answer. "It doesn't matter if the band that maintains the soul imprint is consumed in place until it decays and disappears, or if the boat is rushed out in a certain direction of the border, it will be reborn or the band will rot and disappear completely. It's possible." When he said this, Zach looked at Ryan, once again reminding the Earthbinder who hadn't given up yet to be honest.
Sloan glanced at Zach, "What do you know about straps?"
"When alive, the band connects the soul mark and body, and is likened to the umbilical cord of the soul. When the body dies and is no longer able to accommodate the soul, the band will randomly attach to things in reality to buy time for the soul to exist. Yes. Whether it can delay the soul to start a new life, or just delay the death of the soul, depends on the character." Zach doesn't mind being tested, Lip has helped Grande after all, if he can help Sloan bring Lip back. Zach is willing to be tested, "That's why it's called Earthbinder."
"How the band chooses what it attaches to."
"I thought I said random." Zach glanced at Sloan. It means 'I don't know. '
Sloan nodded. It seemed that this was the limit of vampire knowledge. The sermon began, "The body of death is still the first choice. Because the soul imprint is brought about by the life process of a person. The life process experienced together, the memory is stored in the body. .The soul stores the mark, which is the definition of a person’s individual existence. Even if the body dies, it is still the thing that is most consistent with the soul mark.”
Zach nodded, knowing too much. Although it's really useless to Zach.
"Then there are places where major life events occur." Sloan sipped his saliva, with a mocking expression on his face, "This is why some earthbinders are bound to the place of death." The irony is that death is the most important thing in these people's lives. Can you accept the major journey? "Then there are the most familiar occasions in the life process, because most of the experiences in the soul imprint occur in these occasions."
Sloan no longer needs to continue teaching, Zach already understands, "So the belt will choose the object to attach to based on the importance of the soul mark to the soul and the fit of the soul mark to real things. Is this what you mean?"
"Yes." Sloan snorted, "It's not random."
Zach tilted his head, "Okay, I apologize for my misconception."
"Becoming a new life form, what will happen to the original earth-bound spirit's binding belt?"
"Detachment." Zach knows how to learn from experience, "I guess. The soul imprint of the newly born alien race of souls has changed. At least it is no longer the definition of individual existence before life, but the definition of new life." (Soul imprint. The explanation for the change occurred when Constantine explained to Zach his research on 'born demons'. Stuffing the soul mark of a high-level demon into other souls will create a new high-level demon. xii, 12)
In Sloan's slightly surprised expression, Zach continued, "The mission of the belt to delay time for the earth-binding spirit has been completed, and it is time to start a new mission to serve the newly born life. So it is either to break away from the attachment to reality, or to It’s a** that’s just thrown away.”
"Lipp." The topic came up suddenly. Sloan did not comment on Zach's words, so he probably acquiesced. "Lipp's suicide was an arranged event for him. For someone like him who shuttles through time, Guy, it's not considered a 'significant life course' at all." He waved his hand and put down the empty glass, "The first time I returned to Barton, I went to Green's villa and confirmed that there were no traces of his belt there. .”
Zach nodded and Sloan continued.
"For most of Lip's life, he lived in a sanatorium..."
"Fire." Zach glanced at Sloan. Zach, who had already grasped the direction of the conversation, could complete the other person's words. "There should be nothing that Lip was familiar with when he was alive."
Sloan nodded, then continued, "So the only place I can possibly find the remnants of Lip's binding is where you, Grand, his body is."
"Then you came." Zach raised his eyebrows. Naturally, Zach didn't like the way Sloan came to Grande. "You still encountered a problem."
"The Dream Demon is different from other soul alien races." Sloan's tone began to sound irritated. "Other soul alien races, as long as I can find the binding belt, I can always track the target by following the binding belt."
"Because the tracking object is in reality." Zach looked at Sloan, "The so-called finding is just shortening the physical distance, and it is nothing to you."
"But the movement trajectory of the dream demon cannot be summarized by physical distance in reality. Time, geography, expression, and even the mood of the dream owner will reshape the dream world into unpredictable forms."
"This makes it difficult to trace the traces of the old life form, which is still in the form of an earth-bound spirit, and is attached to the dead body in order to buy time to become a dream demon."
"The worst thing is that Lip is consciously recycling and giving up the remaining ties on his body." Sloan's face became irritated, "Now every time I follow the already weak ties into dreams, what I see is The remnants of the ties he discarded everywhere, and the broken ties that did not extend. There are fewer and fewer ties that I can use, and my resources are running out, tsk! I am losing him!"
"So you think he was deliberately avoiding something and deliberately creating traces, but none of the traces allowed you to track him."
"yes."
"I have to ask, I don't know what the dream world is like, and I can't imagine it. During the tracking process, did you see something that was also tracking Lip?"
"You can't use the standards of reality to judge things in dreams. Even if I see someone, I don't know whether it is the person in the dream or an intruder like me."
"Then how do you judge Lip..." As soon as he started speaking, Zach realized that he had asked a stupid question - the end of the strap was Lip. But the problem now is that the straps extending from the body in Grande's basement are not only being consciously reduced by Lip, but even if Sloane follows the dream, the abandoned straps will not lead Sloan. Lung finds anything.
Zach waved his hand, "Okay, I know the situation. I think I can help."
"Hmph, you..."
Zach interrupted Sloan, "To be precise, it's not that I can help. I just know some ways to regenerate the straps. At least you don't have to worry about running out of strap resources on Lip's body, allowing you to completely Lose Lip’s movements.”
A way to regenerate your bondage—Benjamin's Spice. In addition to the essence that allows Alpha to start a second development and growth, the band begins to be reborn in the dead werewolf's soul.
"But if your guess is true, something is also tracking Lip and forcing him to avoid it." Zach frowned, "We may need to ask for help from another person, a scholar who studies soul marks. .”
Constantine, if the soul mark of a high-level demon can be stuffed into an ordinary soul to directly advance the soul, then if it is completely replaced, will it be equivalent to changing a body
"We may have a way to keep Lip safe, completely away from his pursuers." (.)
