The new civil servant seemed more responsible than Wells, just seemingly. Because Zach was right, it only took him one day to receive the results of Wells' nearly two weeks of work, so he had to be careful not to let Wells' mistakes fall on him as well.
The civil servant took Zach and asked Wells in detail about his work progress. Zach had to use the Charming Eye again to make him give up the entanglement. The investigation has come to an end, and the remaining funeral records are basically the cemeteries of powerless people from decades ago. What could be wrong
Asking Old Hank to look after the civil servant, Zach called Alice and asked if he had noticed anything unusual in Wells in the past few days. In fact, this is just an insurance policy. The banshee's ability is not prediction, but a kind of psychic. Different from ordinary psychics, because they only focus on the matter of 'death', what the banshee can 'see' is much more accurate and clear than ordinary psychics. This is the unique sense of the banshee.
Since it is the senses, there will be moments when it is blinded. Papa Midnight, who created witchcraft, is a master in this area, so the process of becoming a Dead Apostle is something Alice cannot 'see'. But Alice can still 'see' death after becoming a Death Apostle, because the Death Apostle's 'suicide' has obviously broken away from Papa Midnight's control and is no longer within the scope of his blindness.
Alice carefully recalled her recent contacts with Wells. Although they were all about sending coffee or a heart, she should be able to sense death if it was very close to Wells.
Alice shook her head and pursed her lips, feeling a little guilty that she couldn't be of much help.
Zach patted Banshee on the shoulder comfortingly, "Isn't it a bad thing that Wells won't die?"
Alice curled her lips, knowing that the vampire was deliberately teasing her, and turned to look for Louise.
After confirming that Alice saw nothing, Zach felt a little relieved. The relief was not because he cared about Wells' life. In this way, everyone will understand.
If Wells had become a Dead Apostle, Zack would have killed him without the Hayate couple taking action. It is not difficult for a vampire to search for a Dead Apostle whose identity is already known in a city. It only takes two or three days. This has entered the range of perception of the banshee.
But the Banshee showed nothing, which meant that this guy was not a Dead Apostle at least yet. The contact between Wells and the recruiter was not over yet, the contract was not completed, and Zach could still use this bait to catch fish.
After leaving the Grand House, Zach drove Benjamin's truck directly to the cemetery area to the west. The last time he hunted a hunter alone, the werewolf felt that there was no sense of 'participation' and he was in a cold war for more than a week. So this time, the vampire wasn't going to make the same mistake, so he decided to call Benjamin and go with him.
In the past cemetery area, except for the North Cemetery, which was well maintained because people from prisons and hospitals were often sent there, the other three gardens were almost like wilderness. Due to the funerals of Mrs. Quinn and Connor Herman, East Park had been much less organized the previous month. In anticipation of the future wave of grave relocations, the Grand House paid a large price this time, and the surrounding farmers who had time were basically asked to tidy up the cemeteries.
Zach saw Benjamin sitting in the cemetery, chatting with a group of resting farmers. He greeted him, understood the situation, and the two of them drove to the North District.
With Benjamin driving, Zach naturally sat in the passenger seat, but Benjamin seemed to have something on his mind today. The most direct manifestation was that he did not tamper with the radio.
"What's wrong?" Zach asked.
"It's nothing." Benjamin's reply followed Zach's final tone, seamlessly.
Zach raised an eyebrow. Of the two brothers in the Grand House, the vampire is occasionally sentimental and needs someone to bring his soaring thoughts back to earth. And werewolves sometimes hide themselves too hard, forcing people to expose them.
"What's wrong?" Zach continued to ask.
Benjamin frowned, tapped the steering wheel with his thick fingers, and thought for a while, "They (farmers), last full moon day, saw a bear-like creature running on the road."
Zach opened his mouth. He knew he should correct it. It was a wolf, just a wolf with the same size as a bear. But he also knew that now was not the time to care about this.
The werewolf glanced at the vampire, "What worries me is that I don't remember anything."
Both of them were silent, and the truck drove along Route 7, into the North Side, and headed for Wells' home.
It was almost noon when the vampire looked at the wooden door in front of him and raised his hand to fumble on the door frame. Zach smiled at Benjamin behind him, took a key from the door frame, opened the door and entered.
Wells's home is unconventional, an apartment that most people in Barton North would choose if they can't yet afford a mortgage. On each floor of a building, seven or eight apartments of more than 40 square meters can be packed. Zach and Benjamin walked into the apartment and looked around, but Wells was not there.
The trash cans were filled with junk food packaging bags, and pizza boxes were opened on the wooden dining tables. What really matters is not Wells' bad eating habits, because at least this habit has not made Banshee 'see' that he will die in the hospital bed. What really matters are the lottery tickets scattered around the table.
Zach picked up an Erdore scratch-off ticket that can be bought at any retail store. The scratched coating said 'Congratulations! Five more! Zach raised his eyebrows and picked up another one, "Congratulations!" Five more! ', pick up another one 'Congratulations! Five more! 'Pick up another one...
There are a total of thirty-two five-dollar winning scratch-off tickets. If they were all bought at the same time, it would be enough for people to believe something incredible. Zach doesn't have to guess. Every day, he will use the Charming Eye to let Wells report on his life. Zach didn't hear anything about Wells' consecutive winning scratch-off tickets. This could only mean that these winning scratch-off tickets were all purchased by Wells after get off work last night.
So this must be the lure carried out by Papa Midnight's recruiter.
Benjamin pressed the answering machine. No surprise, nothing. Either it had been scrubbed, or Wells' life was a tragedy. Benjamin prefers a combination of the two.
There was a stack of sticky notes next to the phone. Benjamin picked up the sticky note and looked at it against the light. There seemed to be uneven marks on it. I found a pencil and blacked it out diagonally. Wells' handwriting was revealed, which was the time and address.
One Ghost and One Wolf looked at the handwriting displayed on the note and frowned.
"Isn't this near the court?" Benjamin looked at the time, it was almost there.
Zach thought for a while, but came up with nothing, "Let's go and have a look."
The two searched the room for a while, but found nothing except that Wells had poor living habits. The two left the apartment, and Benjamin drove the truck in the direction of the court.
