She ran towards Zach in a hurry, "Yes, there is a girl standing in our corridor!!" Alice shouted to Zach.
"Yes." Zach nodded, his main focus still on the newspaper open in front of him. The news was too eye-catching - the mayor of Newton has died.
The girl in Alice's mouth walked into the restaurant, looking helpless.
"How was your rest? Maya." Zach glanced at him and showed some concern for the guests.
"Maya?" Alice blinked and looked at the girl, "Your name is Maya?"
"Yes." Maya seemed to have not slept well, and sat down in a lack of energy, "Maya Yeshan." She waved her hand, "But the last name is not important, Maya is fine."
"Maya came here in the middle of the night yesterday." Zach was still reading the newspaper. The news said that the mayor of Newton died of food poisoning. He was rescued, but he was not rescued and was left in the hospital. Letter of introduction from Hua and Baiying." Zach finally took his eyes off the newspaper and pushed out a letter to Alice, "They are in Newton now, and this Miss Maya wants to make friends with you."
When Alice blinked and seemed to understand something, Zach's eyes returned to the report.
There were six people who had dinner with Mayor Newton, including officials and businessmen. Among them, two guys who also suffered from food poisoning were lucky enough to be rescued.
"Are you..." Alice pursed her lips, holding the letter of introduction, thinking about the words, "Well, like me?"
"Yes." Maya rubbed her face, "We are the same age." She looked a little better and smiled at Alice, "I heard Yuehua Baiying tell a lot about you. They are in Newton, but I I wanted to come see you." Then he lowered his head helplessly, "I ended up getting lost in the South District."
"Brelle sent her here." Zach was still reading the newspaper. "She went in the wrong direction. Fortunately, she was lucky. She met Yuehua Baiying's friend and was kept. Then she was sent here." Ke wanted to know who the six people who had dinner with Mayor Newton were, but he had read the end of the report and had no answer. Just say these people are talking about important things.
"That Briar..." Maya curled her lips like a girl, "Is he really a friend of Yuehua and Baiying? So Neng said, he never let me go. I almost thought I would be sold by them..."
"Yes." Zach's disappointment did not show on his face, he closed the newspaper with a smile, "You are really lucky. If it were someone else in the South District, they wouldn't have given you such a good gift. Coming to Grande." He put down the newspaper and took out another thing, the city government envelope that had been opened. The content inside was already read by Zach. It was a censorship notice - Grande Funeral Home is about to Undergo financial review.
Zach handed this thing to Louise, who was just here to help Mo prepare breakfast.
Maya and Alice both looked at Zach, confused, because Zach's words seemed to indicate that someone in the South District didn't like Grande, "What's wrong?"
Zach did not answer the two girls' questions, but looked at Louise, who had finished reading the content and frowned in confusion. "The Allen Funeral Home has started taking action. Although it is not targeting Grande, it has obviously asked the city government to Recognizing the 'inequity in the funeral industry,' this review should be about gathering data."
"How should we deal with it?" Louise seemed a little uneasy.
Zach shrugged, as if he didn't care much, "We don't have to deal with anything, and we are very lucky." He smiled, "Earl just came here yesterday." - There is no problem with the finances of Grande Funeral Home.
Louise's uneasiness disappeared, she curled her lips and put away the notice, "Then I'm going to the church for Pierce's funeral. Are you coming?"
Today is Saturday, Pierce's funeral, don't you forget it.
"I won't go." Zach waved his hand, "Oh, by the way, when you go to church." Zach had completely ignored the two girls, "Tell them the news about the new angel."
them? Well, the people at Holy Child Church are a bit mixed, don’t you think? There’s Father Constantine, there’s Demon Mike, and there’s Taylor from the West. They are all people who come together for cooperation, but each has his or her own position.
Louise nodded and left the restaurant, skipping breakfast as it was not needed.
"Laura will pick me up soon." Alice looked at Zach, then at Maya, "We will be at Parker Elementary School in the morning, and then we may go to play in the afternoon..."
"Would Laura mind if there was one more person?" Zach's attention returned to the girl and asked.
"Laura? Is that your ordinary friend, the one from the most famous family in Barton? You two are helping an elementary school together, right?" For a girl who can get lost in the South District, Maya said to Barton and to Alice I know a lot about it.
"Uh..." Alice was probably still trying to figure out how to get along with this girl who suddenly appeared but was already very talkative. "Yes, yes, do you want to come with us?"
"Of course!" Then he lowered his head and hesitated, "Well, um, I rarely get along with ordinary people of the same age. Well, um, it might embarrass you in front of your friends... "
Alice smiled, "No, Laura is very nice. They will be here soon, we have to have breakfast first." Alice actually became the cheerful one one day, and pulled Maya to the kitchen.
Zach no longer cares about the two girls. For Zach, Maya's arrival only means that the Grand guest room is occupied again. Yuehua's letter of introduction did not mention how long Maya will stay, so Zach takes it as a matter of course. The view is unlimited.
Attached to the letter of introduction that Zach really cared about was a real letter to Zach, which explained the reason why the Black Witch came to Newton—
The 'Colt' in the middle threatens Salem's long-term peace. The Banshee cannot see the secret of death caused by 'Colt', and sooner or later it will be discovered (not all Banshees will be lost) To Salem, for example, Alice is sent to Sibella by the firefly).
Once this secret is discovered by the aliens in the middle, the danger is not only that Salem himself faces the danger of being targeted by 'Colt', but also the danger of the aliens trying to take advantage of this. For example, the black witch cannot see the death caused by 'Colt', can it be understood that once the black witch sees a fresh corpse but cannot see how the corpse died, it means that she holds 'Colt' guy just passed through here? Think about it.
In order to prevent the aliens in the middle from trying to take advantage of the black witch and turn the black witch into a weapon for them to track and kill Colt's hunters, the black witches must prepare early and stay away from the middle.
But the proposal to go directly to Patton was also considered threatening. This is not to question the character of Toledo, our Zach, who once helped the black witches, but to consider reality. Barton's power relations are too complicated. The Sabbat, fallen angels, saints, and angels are things that the black witch does not want to touch at the level of her faith. But even Zach and Sibella, who are willing to stand together, do not want to touch them. Not quite on the same page, the Black Witches don't want to be stuck in the middle.
Then Newton is a place that looks very good. It is in the east, far away from the chaos in the middle, and separated by the demonic forces of several states. It is also next to Barton, no, surrounding Barton. It can be used as a counterpoint to Sibei. As a tribute to La's plan, he became Barton's protection and was completely unaffected by the forces within Barton.
At the end of this attachment, which was far more than the main document, Yuehua also asked Zach to do her a favor and inform Sibella of Salem’s decision and current actions, so that she could rest assured that the black witch had not forgotten to thank Sibella for the initial The feeling of being willing to contact them. In addition, if possible, Yuehua also hopes that Zach can tell Eve that now Rimmer and the black witches are neighbors, and without Grande in the middle, their academic exchanges and friendship can continue without being affected...
The former was okay, but for the latter, Zach had nothing to express except being speechless. However, since I have been asked to do it, I have to do it as an adult. But since these things might not be clear on the phone, Zach decided to visit Sibella in person, and by the way, hehe, he also slapped Sibella in the face.
Zach also came out of Grande and looked at Jingren and Ryan whose skin was dissatisfied with cracks in the backyard, "I'm going to Sibella's place. Do you want to continue to follow me and let me see the end of your life? Here, I will instill knowledge into Sibella’s son that he should not know.”
Yes, Maya was not the only one to come to Grande before the sun appeared in the east today.
The Mirror Man came in the early hours of the morning, and there seemed to be nothing unusual when he arrived. However, he interrupted something Zach and Louise were doing at an inappropriate time, and then lifted up his clothes to show off what he was missing. belly button. The new life of the Mirror Man is once again coming to an end.
Hey, I don’t know what this mirror person is thinking, so persistent that he wants Zach to see the end.
"I don't think Sibera's son is so stupid." This time, the mirror man disappeared very slowly because the main body's earth-bound spirit was also disappearing. It's not that the other party picked up the abandoned things, but that the person in front of the mirror is dying. The image in the mirror disappears with the subject of the projection. "I am a mirror person, and before the mirror person, I was a wandering soul." The mirror person uses Misplaced eyes looked at Ryan, "It's been a pleasure chatting with you. Although I can only say that I can barely understand that you don't want to be an earthbinder, but I don't think you are stupid enough to become a gamer yourself just to avoid being bound. Soul."
Ryan's translucent face twitched and sank into the earth.
Mirror Man walked towards Zack, "Of course, I'll follow you."
"Finally, why don't you go back home?" Zach was mocking.
"I didn't reply. It made that woman think I had gone to work early. However, I feel a little sorry for Madison. Although I completely harassed him for two days, he still deducted my salary for two days."
"No need." Zach waved his hand and got in the car, "I'll report a missing persons case in two days and everything will be fine."
The Mirror Man got into the passenger seat and looked at himself in the rearview mirror. He said inexplicably, "It's so strange to see myself."
Zach glanced at the other party and already started and turned, "This accountant is very ordinary-looking, there is nothing strange about him. You are just used to seeing Didi's face."
I just said slap in the face, right? Well, slap Sibella in the face. Mirror Man didn't give himself any inexplicable identity. He just came here to wait for death.
"I was thinking." Mirror Man looked at Zach, "What does it feel like when you see your own image again as a vampire? How you look like in your memory, how you looked when you were still human , is there any difference? Well, also, have you looked at your vampire form in the mirror, your teeth, eyes, claws... Have you looked at it carefully? Is there any difference from what you imagined?"
Surprisingly, it is a very deep question. Zach raised his eyebrows and looked at the man with glasses, "Is this what you want to ask, or..." It was Madison again. Probably no one would care about such a small mentality except the author who is trying to depict a character and a human heart.
"Me." But Zach's guess was correct. "Madison mentioned some things when he answered me. He didn't continue to discuss it, but I, well, how should I put it, seemed to be really curious about it." He He pursed his lips and said, "After all, I am usually the image in the mirror."
"It sounds like you already have the answer." Zach curled his lips and smiled, "When the abandoned thing appears in the mirror, people will react, 'Oh, that's me.'"
The conversation started to go in a direction that no one could understand.
"I'm curious..." Mirror Man looked at the rearview mirror, "What do I look like, my real self." He suddenly turned his gaze, "Before Danny the Fantasy Man left, I had a chat with him. When I asked him if he still remembered his original appearance, he reluctantly showed me a face, which was quite blurry, but to be honest, it looked very similar to what he looks like now, but I didn’t tell him.”
Zach curled his lips, "This curiosity is meaningless. The appearance is just something that is convenient for others to identify and distinguish. It does not represent anything."
"What if I was a very beautiful woman before?" The ending sound rose, "Well, or a very handsome man?" It still rose, "It would be a shame to disappear like this." It sank.
Zach turned his head seriously and looked at the person in the mirror, "I don't like the direction you are expressing." Zach began to feel that he might not be able to hit Sibella in the face, "Tell me directly, do you want to be so smooth? Should we just wait to die, or should we find the things that others abandon once we get the chance and continue to live?”
The Mirror Man returned the message to Zach seriously, "Did you understand something wrong? I was feeling sorry for myself. Before disappearing, I sighed about the complete life that I had and am now that I have no impression of, instead of this kind of borrowing and don't throw away things. A state of survival. Do you think this is called living? What am I living for? I am just living a life that others do not want."
Zach opened his mouth, tilted his mouth and continued to look at the road, "Sorry, I thought too much."
He was silent for a while, as if muttering to himself, "It's not that I haven't thought about picking up something else to survive for a while, but sure enough, it doesn't make any sense. Or I could pick up the things I abandoned like Didi did. Then I am the one who dies. Either he is like now, or he will disappear in a short time and take me with him. When I live, how I live and how I die are not under my control at all, they are all other people's. Yes. It’s boring to live like this without any sense of self.”
Zach's mouth opened slightly. Our vampire thought of something. (.)
