Grande's backyard.
"Sloan, I'm about to ask you a question, and you must answer me honestly." Zach took the initiative to stand in front of Sloan and spoke seriously, "If I think there is any possibility of you being false, I will immediately tell Lip The body was sent to the mill for cremation."
Thanks to James' call just now, the fire in the nursing home was the starting point for everything to change. This foundation has already taken root in Zach's heart. Boy is not the only one who has accumulated snowballs in the story that Ms. West does not want to continue writing. The Sloan in front of her is one of them. Zack had to ask—
"You rescued Lip, what will you do?" Zach looked at Sloan's face, not missing any emotional changes, "Will you let him go back to the past and change time?"
What Zach needs is a clean 'no'.
But, is it possible? After Sloan's eyes deviated slightly, he met Zach, "What to change! I just want to save him now!"
Zach's gaze also deviated slightly, and then returned to Sloan's face, "Tell me something insignificant." There was a smile on Zach's face, not good, "In the future that has not been changed by Lip, You say you are very free, why?”
"Why, freedom is freedom, there is no reason!"
"No, no, you suddenly appeared in front of me as Lip's friend and told me that Lip had changed the future. The freedom you should have was gone. You felt betrayed by your friend. Why did Lip help Grande? , helping me will make you, my friend, lose your freedom and make you feel betrayed." Zach's smile became deeper and deeper, and he said with a bad smile, "Who is Lip's friend? You are my enemy. In that future?"
"Stop being so pretentious, vampire, Lip is not helping you! Didn't he say that he just doesn't like the future, and you can change it! Help you, he is helping himself!"
"You still haven't answered my question." Zach kept smiling. "In the future that Lip doesn't like, you are free. Now that Lip has changed, you feel betrayed. What is so special about you, Sloan?"
Sloan stared at Zach, frowning and saying nothing.
"Don't look at me like that, I'm really curious. Do you want to hear my thoughts?" Zach turned away, "Lipp said. The future that has not been changed is a world controlled by fallen angels. Individuals I don't really care. I just don't like the idea of Crowley standing above me and my friend Anthony. You should know that Crowley can stay at Barton with peace of mind because Anthony and I allow her to Here. Controlling the world? Bypassing me, us, the people who allowed her to be here in the first place, can you imagine the irony of that."
Sloan's eye twitched.
"Alice said you have three souls," Zach continued. "One is your original soul, and what are the other two? Or let me ask another question. What are the other two things that make you a soul walker. And allow you to remain in a world controlled by fallen angels. Freedom? Don’t you have to pray? Don’t you have to sing the praises of faith? Don’t you have to worship? Don’t you have to pray to faith to clear sins? Why Sloane? What are the other two souls that give you this privilege?”
Sloan's face began to darken.
"Yuehua said that one of them is probably a demon, but it doesn't look like it. Let's think so. At least it has something to do with the fallen angels, right? So what is the other one? Is it also a demon? You counterattacked with a human soul. Two demons, becoming soul walkers? Does this set you free? This way? If I were Crowley, I would not give you freedom, I would crucify you. Because you are everything the Holy Lord faith stands for On the other hand, a human who still has a body actually digests the soul of a demon that represents sin. The body dies and the soul atones. This demon, hell (in turn, the bliss of the soul is an angel, heaven), the foundation of the meaning of existence is broken by you, I I will not give you freedom, I will destroy you, of course, if I were Crowley, if I controlled the world."
Sloan's dark face began to glow with blue light, and the shadow flashed away. Did he want to do something, uh, right in front of the vampire
Zach glanced at it and waved his hand without contempt, still smiling, "Haha, what can you do?"
"I can pull Louise out!" Sloan said in a low voice and took two steps back. The sunlight from the west illuminated the side of his face.
Zach's smile was still there, "Are you serious? I just asked you a few questions out of curiosity and made some small speculations. You didn't even tell me whether it was right or wrong. Are you threatening me?"
Sloan raised his hand and made a motion to pull. Zach turned his head slightly and listened to the movement in the basement - Mo, who was accompanying Louise in the basement, had already asked the question "Sloan, what do you want to do?"
The situation at hand may not be ideal. The main force of Grande is not at home. They are still holding Lang's funeral at the church. There are only Yuehua and Baiying here.
Now the two black witches poked their heads out of Alice's room and looked at the situation in the backyard. They seemed to have no intention of taking action. But they did not take action, which was the greatest guarantee. As you all know, the banshee, their inaction meant that the worst case scenario would not happen.
The air was stagnant for a moment. The puppet in the corner of Grande's back porch, no, what Zach and the others saw as a porcelain doll stood up, looked around with blank eyes, and spoke -
"Yuehua, why can't I see anything?" Eve's voice.
Zach turned his head and looked at the porcelain doll looking around, but there was nothing like a pupil in the black that occupied the entire eye socket to focus on.
Yuehua on the second floor looked away from Zach and Sloan, looked at the porcelain doll, and traced her fingers in the air, "Here, Eve."
The porcelain doll looked up, and the blackness occupying the eye sockets gathered towards the center, and pupils appeared. "You are there, where am I?" She turned her head subconsciously, wanting to see the surrounding environment again, but the pupils were separated from the moonlight in her sight. It spread instantly and occupied the entire eye socket again, "I can't see it anymore. Where did you put me? In the utility room."
"On the back porch of Grande." Yuehua glanced at Zach standing in the courtyard, then returned his gaze to the porcelain doll below, "You put me there. I can't see anything. .”
"Under my bed." The porcelain doll's eyes returned when she looked at Yuehua again. "There are no furnishings in Smith Manor. It's a bit suspicious wherever they are placed. I'm sorry."
"It's okay." Yuehua smiled, "I can see it. Are we going out? Where are we going?"
"The Charles River." The porcelain doll kept its head raised. "Are you going to keep restricting my vision like this, Yuehua." Porcelain Doll raised his hand and put it to his ear, "I still have hearing, and I can't hear any sound."
Yuehua maintained a smile while winking in Zach's direction, "Because there is no one here now. Alpha is handling Lang's funeral at the Holy Child Church. As for the field of view, I'm sorry, I thought you would also limit my field of view. After all, That's the a** of the Smith family. Well, do you need me to untie it? Anyway, Alpha is not here now, I don't think he cares about a** or anything."
Yuehua has raised her hand.
"Forget it, it's better not to start this thing. I don't want Alpha to hate me even more." The porcelain doll shook his head, tried to take a few steps on the back porch, estimated his range of activities, and turned around casually. Circle, "Then let me limit your field of vision. There are some things in Smith's house that are not suitable for others to see."
"Okay, anyway, 'I' am just a butterfly specimen in a bottle. There is no need to move around."
"Haha, that's right." The porcelain doll touched the bench, sat on it, and swung her legs. "By the way, Lidia asked about the witchcraft you used. She seemed to be very interested in magic and witchcraft. Distinguish or something.”
Is this, is this a chat between friends... It seems to be.
"Oh? What a coincidence, someone here also asked about it." Naturally, he winked at Zach.
"Who? Alpha would be interested in something like this?"
"No, there are other people." Yuehua simply lay on the window sill, tilting her head casually, "I've told you before, the people in Grande are a bit complicated, what kind of republican female ghosts, Shapechangers, phantoms, earthbinders... Haha, it's fun to tell you, there is a special guy watching us chatting right now."
"What?" The porcelain doll shook her head. Of course, she couldn't see anything.
"Soul Walker."
"Really?" The porcelain doll tilted its head, "This kind of thing is really rare. I have never seen a living soul walker. You know, we at Rimmer have studied them for a while, you know To replenish the souls corroded by vampire blood, but as you can guess, none of them were successful. This thing is really rarer than surviving being struck by lightning. I really want to see a successful example..." Porcelain The doll actually blushed, "He or she is watching us chatting, right?"
"right."
"I'm sorry." The porcelain doll probably faced a random direction and bowed apologetically, "I shouldn't describe you like this. Well, our research is not malicious, I swear." Is it convincing? No. The performance is that Sloan's original black face towards Zach was transferred to the porcelain doll.
"Haha, it doesn't matter, he won't care. You don't have time to care about Rimel's research now, probably. By the way, he came to Grande for help and wanted to save a friend." Yuehua raised an eyebrow, probably It was intentional, using a strange tone, "A dream demon."
"Don't tell me, Grande also has a dream demon." Porcelain Doll's tone seemed helpless.
"Ha, have you also studied dream demons?"
"It's very unfortunate, yes." Porcelain Doll shook his head, "We are trying to analyze the restrictive effect of vampire blood on the soul, and in turn, explore the possibilities of whether the corroded soul can develop into other lives."
"Sounds like a fun experiment."
"No." The porcelain doll waved her hand, "The dream demon's soul imprint seems to be different from the soul imprints of other soul alien races, and its composition is very special. If magic is a skill that we use our souls to imitate the composition of other alien races, Our highest achievement in imitating the Dream Demon is that, alas, illusion, 'Varmina', a semi-finished product made with the blood of vampires. It cannot achieve the effect of the enchanting pupil, nor can it build a real dream world. Very failed research.”
Well... it's not just a chat between friends, it's also an exchange between two scholars. Extremely bored.
Zach glanced at Sloan one last time and ignored it. There was nothing left to say. Zach gestured towards Yuehua, his meaning was clear. This conversation can't continue to be so boring!
"Right." Yuehua received it. "What's the matter with contacting me? It won't be good if we forget to talk later."
"It doesn't matter, there's still a long drive." Porcelain Doll looked indifferent, "I asked Cody, Lang's funeral hasn't ended so soon, Alpha probably won't be able to come back for a while, we have plenty of time."
"Oh?" Yuehua smiled. "Are we going to say something inappropriate for an alpha to hear?"
"That's right. By the way, is Alice here?"
"Yes." Yuehua moved her body on the window sill to make room for Alice who appeared.
"It doesn't matter. It's hypocritical enough to have to use your sister to bind the witch's Alpha. Alice, you actually believe in him and are willing to do this. You are Laura Kepler's friend, you should be smarter than this."
Alice blinked with a strange expression. I really don't know what to respond.
"Forget it, just be happy." The porcelain doll jumped off the bench and circled back and forth in a safe place. "I asked Flanders to catch a siren, and it's on its way now. Since Alpha If he keeps expressing disinterest, then I don’t need to show him that I’m doing something in front of him.”
Zach raised his eyebrows and silently sat in front of Eve, looking at the porcelain doll with interest. Unfortunately, Eve has no vision. I can't sense Zach's look that makes people want to punch him.
"Really?" Yuehua's eyes were more interested than Zach's, "How did you catch him? Wait, I thought you weren't willing to do this."
"I don't want to. I'm already busy with Miss's affairs, and I can't get Alpha's favor for this matter. It's not worth my efforts." Porcelain Doll said in a helpless tone. "But Alpha is right. I can't let the Siren and that Boyson run around in the West End. Hmm, as if it's not enough to worry about more than the Charismatic Monster and Tori in Sharp Manor. Hey, Yuehua, you are right. Yes. I checked about Mrs. Sheila, and the Sirens once cut off her business channels under Boyson's control, and also affected the supply of supplies to Bishop Manor."
Zach blinked, relieved that every bit of his arrangements had paid off.
"Besides, I met Cody today." Porcelain Doll paused, "His thoughts are a bit, well, worrying."
"What's wrong?" Yuehua asked at Zach's signal.
"I... can't express it, but Lidia once said that the achievements of these children in the West End are good for me and for us, Rimmer, to appear in the eyes of others. And I don't think Cody's current state is suitable for this. development, even if it was to get Cody back on track, I needed to do something."
"You think it should be fine." Yuehua acted as a friend's responsibility and encouraged, "Haha, I support you mentally."
"Haha, there is still action." Porcelain Doll also showed a smile, "You wouldn't think that Flanders could catch a sea monster so easily by himself, right? We cheated, and the other party was a charming monster, yes, Bishop It was deceived by the charming demon. It seems that racial blood relationship still plays a role in this situation. We followed behind."
When Zach smiled contentedly, Yuehua said in a surprised tone, "Is that Toledo's seductress?"
"Yes." Porcelain Doll said impatiently, "The situation is like this, I don't want the Siren to be in Toledo's hands. I am relieved to know that Boyson is not colluding with Toledo. But I don’t want to give them a chance to communicate and make a deal. I want that charming demon to step away and hand the siren over to me. Can you help me?”
"How can I help?" Yuehua blinked.
"You and Alice, pretend to represent the Alpha of Lower Grande, and reason with that seductress and let her go."
"So, it's not suitable for Alpha, who neither wants to give favors nor accept favors, to be here, right?" Yuehua curled her eyes and smiled.
"Yes. Then, it's just a little bit added to the relationship between werewolves and vampires. Nothing will change." It means that the relationship is originally antagonistic, and it doesn't matter if it becomes more antagonistic.
Facing such an innocent porcelain doll, Zach gestured towards Yuehua with a smile on his face.
"Hey, Eve, you know how we feel about Toledo." This acting skill needs to be given 100 points, "But at the same time, nothing will change, okay, we will help you." (.)
