It's been about an hour since dinner, and according to the schedule of people from the Southern District, it's almost time to clean up and go to bed.
Ghoul Harrison is telling the skinny Colonel Ike in Benjamin's warehouse... Oh, yes, we can no longer say that he is a colonel, the colonel has died. Anyway, Harrison is telling Ike how to sleep comfortably on a haystack. There are no guest rooms in the Grande. Remember—
"Here, put this side together and make it wider, okay. Well, you need an extra blanket, otherwise you will have to spend an hour taking a shower after you get up." Harrison looked at the other person's thin body and reminded his conscience.
Ike's response, "Haha, I know how to sleep on a haystack, I've slept in worse places. Wet grass, you know, the kind that's still in the dirt, green, and harbors all kinds of insects , it rained by the way... "
"Uh... military life? You're a colonel, right?"
"Once a colonel, once a soldier, I have been in places you can't imagine, young man."
Harrison blinked, young man, are you calling him? "Then have you ever slept underground?" Harrison looked at the other party, stamped his feet, and said seriously, "Underground, two meters below."
Ike stopped what he was doing, looked at Harrison, and paused for a while, "You're not a human, right."
"no."
"Hey." Ike actually sighed and continued what he was doing. He was putting on a pillow. "I don't know what to expect. Speaking of which, am I the only human here?"
"Old Hank." Harrison curled his lips and continued to help spread the sheets. They would be bed partners.
"Oh." Ike was not interested, "What is his situation? Is he the previous generation owner of this funeral home? Do you have no problem with that, well, you know, vampires and werewolves are in charge of this place?"
"Old Hank, he is the original owner. There are only two old men in the place. Is it easier to occupy? Identity forgery... It would be easier to do. Uh, I don't know." Harrison lowered his voice. "I used to be an outsider, and more recently I've been an insider. Knowing a little bit more about Grande, that's it."
"I can hear you." Benjamin walked by with a towel on his face and walked out of the west side of the warehouse. It was time to wash up.
It was not until the sound of water depth came from the open-air bathroom on the west side that the conversation continued. It was self-deceiving enough.
Fortunately, the content of the conversation no longer seemed too suspicious of gossiping about Grande.
"What are you?" Ike tilted his head, "Did you know that when we came back in the afternoon, I was sitting in the same car with an angel? Angel." He raised his hand. Shaking his head to the sides, who knew what he was expressing, "So don't worry about my ability to accept it, just tell me."
"Oh, ghoul."
"What?"
"Food, corpses, ghosts."
Breathing gently and slowly, "I heard it very clearly. It's just, uh. Can I understand this, uh, name literally?"
"Okay." Harrison nodded, not knowing what he thought of, and pursed his lips.
"You mean, um. To eat corpses." Ike looked at Harrison, put down the pillow in his hand, and subconsciously distanced himself from Harrison.
"That's what I mean." Harrison didn't seem to notice Ike's eyes. He must have really thought of something and was distracted, his eyes looking in a certain direction without focus.
A brief moment of silence.
"Haha." Ike suddenly laughed and pushed the pillow to where it should be, "It's nothing special."
"Huh?" Harrison's eyes looked at Ike with doubts, but he still didn't focus. "What did you say?" This was probably an instinctive question.
"Oh, who isn't? I mean eating corpses, it's almost the same as humans. Haha, what we eat is alive." There are a lot of modal particles, which means that Ike is still a little reluctant to say this.
But, if you say so, it seems right...
"Plants." Harrison focused and stared at Ike, "I don't eat fruits or vegetables. When you eat these, they are still alive."
As expected, it was very reluctant. Ike's fingers grasped the corner of the pillow and silently pulled it away.
Understand Ike's state of mind. He wants to sleep here and share the same ceiling with the guy opposite. If possible, he really hopes that the conversation can continue in a friendly and pleasant manner.
This time, Harrison suddenly smiled. He looked at Ike from the corner of his eyes and stretched out his hands to hold Ike's stiff shoulders. "Thank you, Ike."
"Thank you for what?" Ike forced a smile and asked.
"I remembered." Harrison's hand shook Ike's shoulder, and the stars in the ghoul's eyes, uh, this was just a metaphor, "I remembered the situation when my girlfriend knew her identity."
Amelia
"Do you have a girlfriend?" The stiffness was gone, and Ike was really confused.
"Yeah. Haha!" Harrison let go of Ike and waved his arms happily. "She is a doctor, a psychiatrist."
"Humans?" Ike kept digressing, or he was focusing on the main point.
"Yeah! Ha!" Harrison began to circle in place, silent in his own joy, "I just remembered it, just like before, she also asked me if I should take it literally, and I said yes , and then she explained it like you." Harrison clapped his hands, so happy, "Then I also said plants. Hahaha, I remembered it!"
Ike doesn't seem to know how to react to the situation in front of him. Congratulations? No.
"Well, then, how do your friends respond to you saying that plants are alive?" Ike needs to know. As a human who eats half-lived plants, he needs to know!
Harrison's eyes were bright and he looked at Ike, "She said, 'Very well, if you still insist on breaking up with me, I will not only have to accept the blow that my ex-boyfriend broke up with me because I am human, I'm going to live with the guilt of eating fruits and vegetables for the rest of my life, good, Harrison, good.'"
Don't lament the way the psychiatrist talks, that's not the point.
"Oh!" Ike opened his mouth, "You were breaking up at the time." Got the point.
"Yeah." Harrison was a little too happy for a guy who recalled the scene when they almost broke up. "Haha, but of course it didn't work out. I, haha. How could I bear to let her be hit again and feel I feel guilty, haha."
"Wait." Ike frowned, shook his head, and waved his hands, "You said you remembered it, but you forgot your girlfriend?!"
"Oh, haha. Yeah. Forgot." Harrison returned to the work of making the bed, "But you can't blame me, hey, I died once."
"Well, I died once. This is, well, a ghoul's usual, usual..." routine activity? Ike probably wanted to express this, but he got stuck.
"No." Harrison smiled at Ike, "I died. I was buried, and then Zach was resurrected... To be precise, Mo resurrected me, haha. Don't ask me for details, I don't remember. "
"Haha." This time, he didn't force himself and smiled naturally. Ike looked at Harrison and said, "It seems that we have some similarities. We are both people who died once. But I remember it very clearly. 'In life' thing."
"Colonel? Huh? Haha."
"Yes, Colonel..."
The budding friendship was interrupted. A golden to blazing white light enveloped Grande. Harrison hurried to the door of the warehouse and waved to Ike, who couldn't accept the vision at all, "Hey, hey! The angels who were with you this afternoon are here, and so are the saints!"
Of course, the first person to arrive at Harrison's side was Alpha Benjamin, who appeared all wet with a whoosh. Still grabbing the foam on his head, he added, "Thomas is here too." Saint Sissi's family members all arrived.
"Thomas?" Harris asked instinctively.
Benjamin glanced at Harrison, "The vampire relative who died with you, Thomas's."
Harrison drew back. He looked at Benjamin with bewildered eyes.
Benjamin shook his head and curled his lips, accepting it.
He turned around and pulled off the sheets that one person and one ghost had been working on for a long time, wiped off the water stains on his body, jumped up to the second floor, and jumped down in work clothes in a moment. Under the watchful eyes of one person and one ghost, he left the warehouse and walked towards Grande.
The haystack beds in the warehouse are going to be rearranged, and no one wants to see them. OK, follow Benjamin to the office.
"... Thank you so much..." When Benjamin opened the door, Zach glanced at the desk, reached out and patted the chair next to him, motioning for Benjamin to sit over.
Wait, there's a chair next to Zach!
Zach stood up, ignoring Benjamin's winking eyes that said, "I'll just come over and take a look." He pulled his office chair aside to make room for Benjamin.
Benjamin curled his lips and sat down next to Zach. Grande's brother was on the desk, looking at the people on the other side of the desk, One (Saint Sissi), Two (Thomas Gangro), Three (Angel Card) Mir), four (the wrath of the wizard undead that is as light as a wisp of smoke), six and seven** (four small gangeros, bats).
So crowded.
"Just dropping by." After sitting down and continuing, Zach smiled at Camille. Even though there was no container, he still occupied a seat. "It's really not necessary, um, to come in person in such a grand way."
"Torido." Sissi still looked like a willful girl who took herself too seriously, "When I say thank you, you should accept it sincerely. You have to understand that I won't say these two words often. "
"Then I'm very sincere." Zach picked up the wine glass and received a look from Benjamin, "It's really just a drop-in."
"You..." was interrupted, Sissi was interrupted by her own people.
Camille spoke calmly, just like she had talked to Zach in the afternoon, "It's not about me, Toledo, we are here to thank for other things." The white mist-wrapped hand gestured to Thomas. This angel seems to be a pretty good guy, he knows how to let the real 'protagonist' speak.
"Zach. Thank you." Thomas was more direct, and his eyes swept over the four freely dancing bats behind him. "They told us about the remnants of the Fight Club. Thank you for saving them." He frowned and glanced sideways. Sissi turned her head and said, "We also eliminated those guys."
Zach swung his glass and was silent for a while, mainly observing Camille's expression. Our vampire wonders what the angels must have felt knowing that Heaven's chosen spokesperson on earth had done such a thing. But the other party didn't know whether it was about the grade issue or the lack of a container. His face was always shrouded in white mist and he couldn't see clearly. "Yiran, there's no need to say thank you. You can't expect me to do nothing when I see my own people dying. In addition, there's no need to say thank you." , the remnants of Fight Club caused an attack in Barton, and I can’t ignore it.”
Thomas still nodded with gratitude in his eyes, as if he had nothing to say, and looked towards the angry waves like blue smoke. Uh, are these guys going to take turns talking
But before I do that, "The ghoul who killed 13 of your family members is here. Do you have anything to say?" - The reason why Benjamin came here. Finish asking first, so that Zach and Benjamin can be in a daze later on during their conversation.
"Oh." The gesture handed to Nu Tao was withdrawn, and Thomas looked at Benjamin, "I know, Harrison, right, you resurrect him." There were bats flying behind him, "They also told me that when we rescued them, He helped." Indeed, Harrison was discussing life with Zach in the basement at the time. The incident happened suddenly and he directly helped without having time to think about it.
"Consider him lucky, at least he can be resurrected. 13..." The death scene of the vampire must have appeared before, a handful of ashes scattered by the wind, "It doesn't matter, he can rest assured, we will not pester him."
The task was completed. Benjamin nodded, kept his head down, and leaned against the back of the chair to play with his fingers.
"I..." The voice seemed to come from a distant place, 'Qingyan' stared at the culprit who turned him into this state - the vampire, do you remember? Raging Tao was killed by Zach. He didn't have time to destroy this guy's soul. Instead, he forced Seth back to hell ('Colt' incident, save Nuo), "Need help."
He seemed, not seemed, decidedly weak.
"My soul is collapsing." The angry wave like green smoke stared at the bottom of Zach's raised cup, "John's remake of Papa Midnight's witchcraft is beyond my ability. If I use it forcefully, I..."
The words were snatched away by one of her own, Sissi, "It's a miracle that we reached Barton." She was probably angry, "I have never been so embarrassed in my life, and I was actually saved by a few policemen..."
There is no end to this pattern - being robbed, one of our own.
Camille looked at Zach, "I tried, but I can't restore the soul of Raging Waves. It's strange. I can't recall the soul that belongs to heaven." Raging Waves is a dead spirit, a dead spirit that belongs to heaven, and Jackson's. A difference that belongs to hell, "The only reason I can think of is because he is a wizard and does not really believe in the Holy Lord, and his instinct is to resist. So we..."
Camille glanced at Sissi who turned her head sideways again, looked back at Zach, and continued calmly, "I..." changed her personal name, "I hope you can help Rage recover. Maybe it's strange, the wizard Rage is mine now." Mate, I don’t want him to disappear.”
"I'm not a wizard." Zach looked at Camille and responded seriously, "I'm a vampire, how can I help souls?" Zach shook his head and said his suggestion, "You should go find Sibella, Sissi My relationship with Sibella is not bad." The expansion of the witchcraft barrier in the North and South Districts was attributed to Sissi, "Sibella should not refuse..."
"She has refused." The person on the other side of the desk finally interrupted the person opposite. Camille lowered her head, "I have heard about the boundary between the North and South Districts, but that was before Sissi went to the Republic. The deal with Sibella. Things have changed. In the Republic, they were already... at odds." There was helplessness in his calm tone.
Yes, Zach remembered it. Before everyone returned to Barton, Jin made a phone call across the ocean. The call started. Who to help
"Are you stupid?" Sissi tugged at the corner of her clothes hard, "If it would be useful to find Sibella, we wouldn't have to be left behind in the first place and have to rely on Raging Waves to perform the return witchcraft!"
Oh, it turns out that they were left behind when they came back late.
Looking at Sissy's expression, Zach wanted to laugh. (.)
