It was already the sixth day that Wells was 'on the job' at Grande. Zach overestimated the efficiency of this civil servant and was only halfway through his investigation! Zach looked at Wells, who went to work and off work on time every day, and was a little disappointed, because we all know that he hopes that the bait will be bitten, but now, Wells seems to be still hanging on the hook.
As he investigated the funeral records, Zach also became busy during the day. Many calls from the West District came to the Grand House to discuss moving the tomb, and they were all guys like Quinn and Barton. Zach Don't dare to neglect. Benjamin also became busy, and some farmers around Grande were recruited to carry out large-scale cemetery cleanups. The desolate scene that Mrs. Quinn once saw became more in line with the neatness that a cemetery should have.
Alice could have been very leisurely, but for the charity of her friend Laura, she spent every day preparing charity sales in the kitchen.
Zach's night visits using the Eye of Charm for several consecutive days had no effect, because things like 'human words' are too difficult to track, even with the backbone analyzed by James and the sixth sense of witchcraft ruled out by the Gale and his wife. Unrelated, but the news that Wells wanted to win the lottery and resign was like dandelions blown away by the wind, scattering everywhere. All Zach could do was wait.
Two more people committed suicide. Unsurprisingly, Zach had already seen these two names on the list given by the Gale and his wife. James Lance followed the vampire's advice and tried to find out who might have died once, but his investigation didn't go well either. He pulled up a list of accidents that happened in the last month or so, except Trisha's husband Todd. Outside of Port Massa, accidents occurred everywhere, especially in Ford's tomb area.
Because construction and public outrage were going on at the same time, major incidents often occurred. The list of people who might have been resurrected by Papa at midnight after death could only be given to the Hayate couple to observe one by one, and the progress was very slow. What makes James most helpless is that the suicide he and Coulson investigated has never made any progress in the hijacking that happened, and is about to face closure of the case and return to the conclusion of suicide.
It may be nothing to Coulson, but to James, who already knows part of the truth, this is simply torture! The result of the suffering was that James often came to harass Zach, which made Zach a little bored.
Around three in the afternoon, Laura came as promised, and Benjamin and Alice had prepared the tools and were waiting. Zach also wanted to change his mood, and more importantly, to avoid James' frequent phone calls, so he made preparations, left the Grand House to Old Hank and Louise, and went to Parker with a few others. Learn to go.
Today is Friday. Laura did not skip school. She had already quit the cheerleading team and established her own club. With the support of Mrs. Barton and Repert High School, a club like a volunteer group emerged. Their mission today was to clean an abandoned bus stop on the southeast side of Park School.
Everyone already knows the origin of the name Paisin. It connects the bustling North District of Newton City and Barton. It is just a place passing by. When Barton was just emerging, the city government hoped to build this area as another road into Barton in addition to the west side of Barton.
However, there are Route 7, the Charles River, and the train station that leads directly to the interior of the North District. The southwest sides of Barton and the direct roads to the center have been opened. The Paisine District has never achieved the results expected by the city government, and it was abandoned. Various facilities once built, such as schools, housing, transportation, etc., gradually declined and became what they are now.
Others are okay, at least people use them, but the bus terminal located southeast of Park School is really no one cares about and can only be abandoned.
It was abandoned anyway, so Laura wanted to use this place to build a charity market, and the income could be used to improve the environment of Parker School. Today is the day Laura decides to clean it up.
After arriving at the bus stop, it was obvious that Barton's surname was very useful. Laura 'borrowed' Reiput's school bus, and twenty or thirty high school students poured out of the bus. The teachers and students of Parker School stood in two rows, looking at a group of teenage boys and girls wearing volunteer white T-shirts designed by Laura, holding brooms and tools, with unspeakable excitement on their faces.
More than a dozen dusty old buses were lined up in the courtyard. The windows of the surrounding houses were broken, the paint peeled off, and occasionally weeds half a person's height protruded from the ground. It was hard for those pampered teenagers to imagine that this was still Barton. of the Northern District.
Zach and Benjamin did not enter the bus stop, but opened the back cover of the truck at the door. The stand made by Old Hank was stretched out, and several people began to help Alice lay out the cakes, cookies, and donuts she had made. Do you think those teenagers are going to be miserable and volunteer the day before the weekend? Of course not. The word Laura used was, 'A delicious heart in exchange for a labor.' '
And the high school students who had already had their hearts sold at a charity sale by Laura at Leipter High School did not want to give up this opportunity to eat the heart of the legendary Alice. The reason they came was not Laura's 'righteous deed' but Alice's craftsmanship!
"Wait!" Laura slapped away a boy who had already stretched his paws towards the food: "Go and pull out the grass first!"
"I'm not a farmer!"
"You have hands!"
In this way, the high school students took action, and Parker's teachers also joined in with students who had no extracurricular activities anyway. Soon, the students who experienced a sense of accomplishment had entered the state and started working seriously.
Zach and Benjamin protected Alice. For the sake of her friends, Alice had worked very hard to adapt to such an environment. However, whenever a boy came close to her, whether it was for food or Alice herself, she would... Still scared. This is where vampires and werewolves come in handy.
"Benjamin!" Laura ran over with a few boys, "Come to help! You and the other brother are here too!"
Zach is helpless, it seems that Laura will never remember his name!
Several teachers from Park School came over to take over the work of looking after Alice. Of course, they only regarded it as protecting the food. Zach and Benjamin followed Laura and walked inside the bus stop.
The abandoned buses lined up in the courtyard have been cleaned by students and their original colors have been revealed. Different from the bright yellow of the current buses, the original buses were painted in dark red. There are no advertisements covering the car body now. The basketball-sized headlights, the rearview mirrors with a very contemporary style, and the patent leather that has been cracked and mottled by time give these buses a temperament that should be displayed in a museum.
Most of the surrounding buildings have been opened. On the south side are the former employee dormitories and reference rooms, and on the north side are the bus maintenance rooms with a sunken ground and a metal platform dividing the upper and lower parts.
Laura walked directly to the west at the back. In the opened front door, students were already cleaning the interior. The broken glass was removed, the collapsed brackets were lifted up, and the old-fashioned telephone hanging on the wall was wiped clean. After blowing away the dust, you can still see the old notes on the workbook. On the workbench that extends along the wall, you can see various old-fashioned communicators embedded in it, as well as buttons and displays of various colors. Screen.
This is the main control room, the headquarters for dispatching buses.
"Here." Laura continued walking in and moved a collapsed support. There was already a male teacher standing here with the logo of Parker School printed on his chest. He should be Parker's physical education teacher. The strong man saw that an adult was coming, and patted the shelf blocking the innermost door: "There should be a warehouse at the back, connected to the maintenance room, but the doors on the west and north sides are locked from the inside. It's open, please help."
Zach and Benjamin nodded, rolled up their sleeves, and began to put down the sundries on the sloping shelves, and then moved the shelves away to reveal the door buried inside. Laura found the key, tried it several times, and the door opened.
The damp, rotten smell coming from the shop floor is no better than that of Warehouse No. 1! Several people at the door waved their arms to spread the smell, while several high school students had already retreated far away, not wanting to get close.
"You go to other places, let's go in and take a look." Zach and Benjamin looked at each other and suggested to the people around them.
"Okay." No one said no, no one wanted to endure the smell! After all, Laura was still a high school student and was not fully prepared. She did not prepare anything like masks.
The people dispersed, and Benjamin found the key in Laura's hand, and Zach had already entered the warehouse. Their task was to open the door connected to the maintenance room to at least let the smell dissipate.
But they knew that things started to go awry from here. Because vampires are sensitive to blood, and werewolves have no sense of smell, they noticed a trace of blood in the musty smell!
Werewolf Benjamin covered his nose with his thick arms and frowned. The musty smell was too strong and confused his senses, which made him very uncomfortable. At this time, the vampire's sensitivity to blood is most useful, but Zach also frowned and waved his arms in front of him. This place has not been ventilated for who knows how many years. Although it is cold enough, it is definitely not an environment that vampires like.
The cold concrete floor sloped downwards, and the spacious space was indeed extending towards the maintenance room. The two of them passed through a downhill and saw the door on the north side, but they did not open it and continued to walk inside. Rusty tools, iron tracks, mechanical parts piled haphazardly, and dismantled buses...
Zach approached a bus with its shell removed, and a slight clicking sound came from the bus. The smell of blood came from here. The two looked at each other and approached one after another.
Outside were a group of students and teachers. The two of them did not change their shapes. The werewolf put one hand on the back of the bus and jumped on the bus with a little force. He approached the place where the sound came from. The damp moldy smell had been replaced by rot. The werewolf curled up his body, and the muscles in his legs were already tense. He held the back of the seat on the bus with both hands, ready to impact at any time!
brush!
The gray figure jumped out from the rows of seats like a bouncing crab! The werewolf's body also rushed out! Zach's eyes were reddish, his fingertips were pressed together, and his figure drew a gray shadow in the air, blocking the thing that bounced up! Just when this 'creature' suddenly appeared attracted the full attention of a wolf and a ghost!
Bang!
The sound of the metal door slamming sounded on the west side of the warehouse! Suddenly, a beam of sunlight suddenly penetrated the cold room. Zach and Benjamin didn't even look at what the 'creature' they intercepted was, and at the same time looked back to the west!
A figure quickly stepped out of the cold warehouse and was submerged in the afternoon sunshine!
