Zach entered the Hermann factory with complicated emotions. After entering, no, after going down - even with Lydia covering him, Novel could not occupy the surface in a high-profile manner, and still lived underground. After going down, Zach's mood became more complicated.
Not only is Louise, Bumi, and Dora that Zach is looking for here, but James is also here.
"They're all here." Zach curled his lips and walked towards the place surrounded by four people. "No one thought about making a phone call to check that they were safe or something."
James glanced at Zach and frowned, "You find a phone here and I'll take a look."
Getting closer, Zach looked at the opened wooden box on the ground, "What is this."
"Porcelain." James answered again, "Republican porcelain."
What Zach needed was not such an obvious answer. He glanced at Louise, but received no response. He pursed his lips and pushed aside the hay in the box, and pulled out a plate with complex cyan patterns. "Why are everyone staring at this one?" Box of Republican porcelain.”
This is not a false accusation, it is a fact. Naturally, Zach and the others were standing in the center. On the periphery, all the Novelles were staring at the box.
Zach raised his brows and thought of something even more 'bad', "Why is there a box of Republic porcelain here?" Zach squatted down, searched for the mark on the box, and frowned, "This box has yesterday's stamp on it. The seal of the customs. Uh..." It's not a matter of whether Zach speculates or not, but the fact is right in front of him, "You stole a box of porcelain from Port Massa."
Inexplicably, James became excited and stared at Dora and Bumi, ignoring Louise. "That's what he said! You stole a box of porcelain! Stealed! A box of imported porcelain!"
Zach glanced sideways at James, "Why are you excited? You are a homicide detective, do you care about this kind of thing?"
"I'm a policeman!" James glared at Zach, "And these 'friends' of yours! They are thieves! They are criminals!" The quotation marks were emphasized. James didn't know how to describe the sudden change that made him, a human being, Absolutely fearful numbers appeared in Barton's Novel.
Zach waved his hand and ignored it, and glanced at Dora and Bumi, "He's like this, you'll get used to it." James continued howling and we pretended not to hear it, listening to Zach, "But, this The box of china had better be here for a legitimate reason. James is right, we are just vampires, not thieves, not sins..."
Zach suddenly shut up, and his eyes instantly moved to the plate in his hand. The complicated cyan patterns moved. It was definitely not our Zach who was dazzled, because Bumi and Dora's eyes were also red at the same time.
"The ghost of the Republic..." Zach only had time to say, "Is it?" At the end of the sound, the pattern on the entire plate suddenly jumped out of the plate, drew an arc in the air, and disappeared into the hay in the box.
Bumi moved very quickly and pulled out four or five plates in a swipe. The same complex pattern was spread on every plate in his hand.
Bumi frowned, "Gone again."
"That's enough!" Dora's face was extremely gloomy, "Destroy all the porcelain!" Her shrunken, weak hands began to stretch out their sharp fingertips and grabbed the box directly.
"Don't move!" James threw himself at the box like a lunatic, and actually used his body to protect Dora's attack, "No one! Don't destroy these things!"
Zach pursed his lips and almost understood the reason for the situation at hand. He shook his head, picked up James and put it aside, "James, are you still going to return this box of china?"
"Yes!" James replied gloomily, while Dora, who was still on the tip of the warning ring, did not retract, "You kill the aliens, this is your business! My job! My job as a policeman! Make sure that they are Give back what you stole!”
It can only be said that Zach taught James very well.
Zach glanced at Dora and shook his head helplessly. The corners of Dora's eyes twitched, then she retracted her fingertips, turned her head away, and continued to look gloomy. This was a sign that her patience had been completely worn out.
Zach looked at the box and thought for a while, "Have you tried all methods?"
"Of course I've tried them all." Bumi answered, "It doesn't work." He said with a doubtful expression, "I'm starting to wonder if this thing has an alien soul."
Zach shook his head helplessly, "The classification and even the system of republican alien races are different from ours. We probably shouldn't classify them in such a general way."
Remember when Mo first came to Grande, he tried to have a friendly exchange on the differences between the two different races. Zach had already understood that it was Mo who classified himself as the soul alien race. But Zach didn't think this classification was correct early on, because Mo was not afraid of Zach at all. Vampires' restraints on soul aliens do not apply to republican ghosts.
Grande was aware of Mo's weakness. The small red box was what Mo called a dependent subject. But Mo also said that the dependent subject is not unique and can be replaced, it is just a matter of consumption.
And now the reason why everyone is staring at a box of porcelain is very clear -
Novel probably 'stole' this box of porcelain last night, but there was nothing he could do about the ghost attached to a certain piece of porcelain inside. When he was about to launch his ultimate move and prepare to completely destroy this entire box of dependent subjects that could be replaced by ghosts, James appeared to disrupt the situation. This Mr. Detective, who does not understand the overall situation, actually used that boring reason to block Nofele's action to eliminate the republic and smuggle aliens, and the stalemate has continued until now.
Zach pursed his lips and looked at Louise, "Why did you lure James here? You were so careless." This tone completely treated James as if he didn't exist. Deliberately, Louise had to answer questions when facing James' glare. Remember, Louise has been very cold towards Zach these days.
Louise answered, "He came by himself." She frowned, "When I tried to eliminate this ghost for the first time in Port of Marsa, it made some noise, so I had to take the whole box away, and then went to Port of Marsa. He called the police and said he had lost something, but the police didn’t even arrive at Port Massa, so he came straight here.”
If it weren't for the fact that James is now blocking everyone's 'good deeds', I would really have to praise James for his accurate prediction.
"When? James, you went to the police station after game night?" Zach looked at James helplessly.
"I know you are going to be active in Port Marsa these days! Let Chapman notify me if he hears any news about Port Marsa!" He clicked his tongue irritably, "Midnight!"
"So you've been staying here until now?" Zach felt a little incredible and glanced around the underground space. "Do you know what time it is now? I have sent Alice to school, and on the way here, uh , was delayed for a while... "
It was James who took action. He took out his pocket for a long time before taking out an old watch. Some people may still remember that Georgina gave it to him and then took it back after they broke up. Later, Georgina disappeared, and he probably stole it back himself. table. Yes, Zach and Coulson said it was an old watch that really didn’t fit James’ style.
"Damn it!" James stared at the old watch in his hand, "It's broken again!" Then he started to run towards the exit. After running two steps, he ran back and stared at Zach, "Don't destroy this box of china!!" The devil ignored him... Louise ignored him.
"Then throw away the old things!"
Zach didn't quite understand the meaning of Louise's words, but he didn't have time to care because he had already seen Dora's fingertips starting to grow. Zach pursed his lips helplessly and made a waiting gesture, which meant that he would at least wait for James to go out.
Okay, James left.
Bumi joined Dora and started grabbing at the box randomly without wasting any time.
"Don't damage the box." Zach just confessed and stepped away. He looked at the cyan light and shadow that kept flashing and hissing in the box amidst the sound of the porcelain breaking and rubbing against the hay. He didn't say any unnecessary words. , "Every time a ghost condenses entities and creates things, Mo said so, it will be consumed, so you will probably have to continue it for a while."
"Very good, I've been holding it in all night!" This was Dora's answer.
"Maybe we should burn one last time." Bumi suggested.
"Whatever, then abandon the southeast. James has been guarding here all night after all. I have to give him an explanation." Zach added.
"Why do you put up with that guy (James)?" Dora and Bumi asked at the same time, and then Dora withdrew and Bumi asked an advanced version of the question, "Do you think that guy is suitable to be a Toledo?"
"Not suitable at all." Zach answered quickly, "In the beginning, we needed people like him to help Benjamin and I keep an eye on the middle and lower classes of Barton society. Then..." Zach raised his eyebrows, "I got used to it."
Just like saying bad things about people behind their backs, it is also very uneconomical to say good things about people behind their backs. Zach waved his hand, ended the topic, and looked around, "When I came here, I was greeted by someone from out of town. The wizard without a last name stopped me. He wanted to be my wizard. Yes, you heard it right, my wizard. Bumi, don't stop. Now, all here, everyone, help me think about this proposal."
After asking an almost philosophical question, which made all the nearly half a hundred Nofils confused, Zach walked towards Louise and started with a relaxed one, "You haven't come back, I'm worried."
No matter how cold she is, Louise still has to answer this question, "Sorry, we have lost track of time. You said there was a wizard..."
Zach didn't need Louise to think about this issue now, "Of course I refused, but I think he's not the kind of guy who would give up easily. Let's talk about it then. But last night, I wanted to take what Wes gave me before The set of Thirteen Clan poker cards was not found in the warehouse on the west side. Ryan said, you, Bumi and Eve organized the warehouse and where did they put it?"
Zach didn't ask when the warehouse would be organized. Because the time was obviously Monday morning when Zach wasn't in Grande and Eve was.
If Ryan was forced to spend a whole night and couldn't find something, it must no longer exist, so there was no point in asking where Zach had put it.
What Zach really wanted to ask, and the only thing Louise could answer, was why these three people organized the warehouse when Zach was not at home.
"Reorganizing the warehouse?" Louise repeated the preamble of Zach's question, "Oh, you mean Monday morning?"
"Yeah." Zach looked at the cyan light and shadow in the box that was getting dim with every flicker.
"Oh." Louise also looked in the same direction, "Austin started driving the piles without reminding us, but the vibration knocked down the debris in the warehouse and smashed a bunch of things. Fortunately, Eve was there at the time Here, I helped with the recovery, and Bumi also helped, with that pair of cards. I don’t know, at that time, I was afraid that there would be a lot of trouble again, so I erased this memory of Austin and the others. Bumi, you and Yi at that time Fu is in the warehouse, have you seen the deck of cards?"
"Wha, what poker?"
"It's the colonial playing cards made by Mokavi during the colonial period." Zach curled his lips, "The ones that are all made by women."
"Do you have another pair?" Dora joined in the conversation, "I thought they had all been destroyed!"
"Me too, but obviously not all were destroyed. Just recently, I got one..." Zach shook his head, "I probably don't have it anymore. Forget it, it was probably something that got mixed up when Eve used magic to restore it. It has completely disappeared. Then forget it, that kind of thing makes me feel inexplicably ashamed every time I look at it.”
Zach thought of something, "Oh, by the way, Georgina seems to be missing." Zach frowned and laughed at himself, "I didn't find her last night, and I didn't find her this morning." He laughed at himself because Zach could only say that it seemed Gone, because if Georgina is not found, it does not mean she is gone.
"Georgina, is that Sabbat Tori Dora said to be in your warehouse, James's ex-girlfriend?" Bumi spoke.
"Yeah." Zach nodded, "The watch James took out just now was a gift from Georgina." He was confident like a mystery, "I mentioned once that it was very 'special' for him to wear that watch, ha." So James Have you put it in your pocket? Zach's confidence is sometimes inexplicable.
"I can't imagine how a guy like James would react if he knew his ex-girlfriend was a vampire, or a member of the Sabbat (emphasis added), Toledo." Still Bumi.
"I've been trying not to imagine that scene." Zach replied casually, "It's best not to meet them where I can see them. I'm not in the mood to help them with their psychological construction, in every sense."
Dora also joined in, "You also said you would tell me the story of Georgina when you have time. I think you should forget it. Just thinking about it, it feels like a very troublesome thing..."
The cyan shadow rushed out of the box that was being ravaged by Dora and Bumi without warning. The almost transparent woman had the same face as Mo - Federation people who had never seen the world, such as these vampires here, probably looked at all the Republicans. , they all look the same. What's more, this face lasted so short, just for a moment, showing a desperate expression and an inexplicable syllable, and then collapsed.
"Succeeded?" Bumi blinked.
"It worked." It was Louise. "The last thing she said was, 'No.'"
"Can you understand?" Zach.
"Mo taught me a little bit, and she said it might be useful." If it is useful, it would be true if he only heard the last whine. Louise shook her head vigorously, "Let's go, I want to go home." (.)
