As a funeral home, one of Grande's jobs is to confirm the identities of guests in attendance. But everyone knows about Grande’s work attitude, so Zach basically just stood at the door of the church next to the deceased’s son, looking at him. If he felt that the other person was showing signs of emotional breakdown, he would take over and send the guests in. Main hall.
More people came than expected. In addition to relatives and friends, there were also many unrelated people, such as reporters.
Zach asked his relatives where those reporters came from. The relatives said they did not know. They did not publicize that the deceased was an organ donor. After all, this was the last thing left by the deceased to the living and needed to be protected. , no one will destroy it.
In the past, Zach would deliberately avoid such a situation, but now it is less necessary - "Please respect the deceased and the relatives and friends of the deceased, thank you." Probably, maybe, maybe, in those cameras, he left four centuries of his own life to see the light of day again. After the video, irrelevant people were locked up outside the church.
To be honest, Zach didn't plan to come today. Louise and Matthew were fully capable of handling such work. Zach originally planned to wait in Grande for the fallen angels to come and deliver information. But this plan was canceled by a phone call early in the morning. It was Jessica, "I heard that you have a funeral to hold today. Just in time, I also have some news from the central government. It may or may not be Seth. If I plan to let my I hope Constantine knows how much I have done for him." It's so direct. "So, I'm going to tell him the news I told you before. Do you want to come and help me? Just a moment."
It was a clear request for Zach, who was good at 'narrative', to assist her.
It's not a bad thing after all, Zach agreed.
It's worth mentioning that I don't know if I should bring my own wizard with me - at least in Zach's perception, Alpha always brings its own wizard with him. Isn't it? Alien Alpha even dragged Mu En down by jumping off a train. Zach, who was groping for new things, asked, "Sem, are you going to church?" He added, "If you want to find a chance to get in touch with Benjamin, I don't have a problem with it."
Sam's answer made Zach feel like an idiot - "No, I want to talk to Mo. I find her very, very 'interesting'." Under the gaze of the Great Dane, "I mean The ghost of the Republic.”
Right, idiot, Zach was totally wrong about Sam's behavior. Zach underestimated the wizard's curiosity about foreign and foreign races.
Oh, by the way, in addition, Maya, who obviously asked Zach to express her respect for the deceased yesterday, didn't come today. Early in the morning, Laura and the others came with Alice, and they were swept away, "girl things". What was worth Zach's attention was that today was really 'girls stuff' and Kyle didn't follow. Take a guess? Went to meet up with old classmates.
Zach stood at the back of the church and listened to Constantine's congratulations. He was not interested because he had heard it too many times. Without disturbing anyone, he walked around the seats and walked against the wall to the back of the church, where Jessica was waiting. Before she told Constantine about Seth, Zach first got the information he wanted.
"You're poking me." Jessica sat on a chair on the backyard porch, with Mike squatting behind her.
"Yes." Mike stretched out a finger and poked Jessica's vest.
"Stop poking me, Mike." Jessica ordered calmly without looking back.
"Okay." Mike didn't stop.
Zach couldn't understand this scene, and he didn't want to understand it. The relationship between Mike and the fallen angel has always been very strange, isn't it.
"You spent the whole night compiling the information." Because Mike winked at Zach while poking, Zach responded in the same way, and then sat next to Jessica, "I hope it is worth the information."
"You're going to be disappointed." Jessica was still very direct. She took a small step and said, "Mike, poke Zach." Then returned to the right path, "Just wait..."
The right path was interrupted. Mike's sidetrack, "No, Zach doesn't have a broken wing, nothing to poke at."
The three of them were inexplicably quiet for a moment.
Well, even so, the image of Mike poking Jessica is still difficult to understand. Why, poke? Among the countless actions to express concern, poking is probably the most inappropriate one.
Zach pursed his lips and glanced sideways at Mike behind him, "Are you angry that Grande made Crowley lose her wings just to be able to trust you?" Yes, Zach used 'Crow' at this time. The old name "Li'" is convenient for expression due to the context. Why did Crowley become Jessica? Apart from the angel Crowley's 'return' and the fallen angel giving up the name given by the Holy Lord, isn't it because the fallen angel lost its wings and must stay 'Jessica' 'Is it in this container
Mike said nothing, but stopped poking Jessica. He lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking, stood up, turned around and walked away.
After being quiet for a while, Jessica actually laughed, "If I had known I could get rid of him so easily, I wouldn't have let him poke me for so long. As expected of you." It was actually a relaxed tone.
Whether it was intentional or not, Zach didn't want to care about it now. He waved his hand and let the matter go. "What were you about to say?" He meant to get back on track.
"Haha." Jessica smiled, "I said, you waited so honestly and didn't rush me. I guess you already know, right? You met someone who is beyond your power again."
Papa Midnight.
Zach did not deny it, but directly stated the facts, "Maya looked at the body and came to a conclusion after discussing it with Yuehua and the others. Then I did a little dissection and verified it." This is after the fork in the road just now, What Zach needs to express is that Grande and the Devil have been completely honest with each other. Regardless of whether Mike is still paying attention here or not, Zach needs this gesture.
Continuing from Jessica, "The soul mark serves as a record of a person's existence, and the last moment left behind is when the heart disappears."
Zach nodded, "I have my guess, Papa Midnight, I don't know who else can cause such a death. What about you?" There is still hope, just in case, another one and Papa appear. There is such an 'unreasonable' existence as midnight, haha, I hope not~
"Besides Papa Midnight, you have no other guesses?" Jessica raised her eyebrows. "This almost makes me feel sad for my beliefs. Alas!" There is no sincerity in this statement.
Zach instantly understood what Crowley meant. She was talking about the Holy Lord. As worthy of being a fallen angel, I dare to express this kind of thinking in church!
Zach curled his lips, "Although we are vampires and fallen angels, we are not the favored party in the faith to which we belong. But..." Zach was a little helpless. Maybe he shouldn't let the fallen angels be so honest. Zach couldn't accept it. , "There is no need to slander the being at the top. There is no reason. If the soul disappeared, I might still agree with you."
"Then Papa Midnight has a reason to take those people's hearts casually?" Jessica shrugged, "Even if it's a Dead Apostle contract, it only leaves a mark on the heart in my memory. Papa Midnight has no reason at all. Reason to take the whole heart and leave a useless body." He paused, shook his head, and added, "And the Earthbinder with nowhere to go."
The meaning of this addition is actually very sad. The workers nestled in the cargo ship were drifting on the sea. Even if they died, their souls had no place to linger, and they could only hold on to their dead bodies in the end. Finally entering the port of Marsa, the last connection with the world was severed by the hellhound in a foreign country, and he was dragged into hell.
The soul was dragged away, and the body was deliberately sunk to the bottom of the sea by the vampire. As the person who completed the latter, Zach resonated with Jessica's addition, but he didn't really care, "We can not discuss this first, you still have Is there any other information worth mentioning?"
"A little bit." Jessica nodded, "The soul mark also shows a little bit, the time and place of death."
Zach raised an eyebrow. The death events that Maya saw could not provide these two points. The reason is very practical. The death scenes with a fixed perspective are dark, messy, and almost suffocating - like cargo in a container. Maya sees no reference to time or place.
So what can be seen, the soul separated from the body in the container. After death, the terrestrial can see.
"xxx" Jessica reported the longitude and latitude, which was about two kilometers away from the Port of Marsa. "The time is uncertain, but it is all at night." Ships carrying illegal workers always enter the port at night, and Fisher deliberately arranged Yes, this has been mentioned before, "This is not important. The key is this location. The people on several different cargo ships that Mo obtained all died at this location."
Zach suddenly made a cross, "About Mo, what did she do yesterday?" After all, this was the first time Zach saw the hand that solidified into moonlight.
Jessica curled her lips, "I think, I can say this - she is indeed a soul alien, and more like a devil than we imagined."
Mo came back yesterday and said that she needed to digest it, right
Zach frowned. He had never asked why Mo relied on to exist in this world. According to Zach's common sense, phantom people need other people's bodies, shadow people need a sense of existence, cherubim need faith, demons need soul marks... The soul aliens all need something to forcefully stay in this world that does not belong to them.
Mo only said a little bit, she said the sun was too hot and she needed the moon. After Zach couldn't understand it at all, he refused to continue to understand. Now, Zach couldn't say that he regretted not asking, because Mo had stayed in Grande for such a long time, and last night was the first time she expressed that she needed to digest. But I definitely have a new understanding of ghosts.
Just to confirm, "Those souls?"
"In Mo's belly." Jessica confirmed to Zach.
Confirmation was enough, Zach couldn't do anything, "Go on, I hope you have sent someone to look at that place."
"Yes, I went to see it." Jessica shook her head, "But there was nothing, just the ocean." She glanced at Zach, "There were no workers who were supposed to arrive at the port the night before, and there were no workers who were always working. Soul, nothing.”
Zach frowned, "It's impossible for 128 people to disappear for nothing." Remember, 128 is the number of workers that should be carried on the ship, but we all already know that these 128 goods have disappeared.
"But the fact is, there is nothing there. To be comprehensive, I expanded the search area, but still nothing." Jessica shook her head, "If you don't believe me, you can ask the Kraken to search in a wider location."
"I believe you." He expressed his attitude first, and then said seriously, "But the search does need to continue. The information given by the crew was that the person was missing only after the inspection on the last day. Therefore, the search scope must be traced back to their last inspection. The time and location of the cargo." Zach nodded, "You are right, only the Kraken can go to such a range."
Jessica already looked indifferent, "I have done what I can, my suggestion, you should start thinking about how you are going to end this matter. Papa Midnight, or Holy Lord, hum, Do you have the ability to confront?"
Zach relaxed a little, at least he didn't exclude the Holy Lord. "Face to face, no, but you can count how many times they have actually faced someone face to face in history. So, always There will be a way, even if there are some detours, there will be a result. Otherwise, let Fisher start to doubt life while holding 128 missing workers."
Yes. If it was the original one and the vampires deliberately hid a few corpses, it didn't matter. Anyway, in Zach's opinion, it was normal freight loss. Even if Fisher insisted on a result, Zach could get one for him. But now, 128 people are missing at sea, and an entire shipment is gone. This can no longer be explained by normal freight losses.
Jessica didn't seem to agree with Zach's words and shook her head, "If I were you, I would have ignored the truth and started to take action against this crew. The worst is that I will end up being a little kid who is taken advantage of by an untouchable being. The chess pieces have cleaned up the mess for 'it', and maybe there will be gains in the future."
Zach raised his eyebrows, but he didn't reject this statement from the bottom of his heart, "Well, you have a point. But..." Sure enough, there is still a 'but', "But if I am going to be used as a chess piece, I would prefer it." Knowing who is using me will make me feel more at ease, right?" At least it's not like now, where I don't know anything.
"What if it's the Holy Lord?" Jessica smiled.
Zach actually started to think seriously, because Jessica asked about the Holy Lord. Zach spent a whole day yesterday thinking about what to do if it was really Papa Midnight. It was in vain. The fallen angel asked about another one. "I'll probably ask first, why... no." Zach shook his head, "The Thirteen Clans didn't ask why they wanted to colonize at first. They were purely driven by the interest of being able to 'live in the sun', so." Zach Confirmed, "I will ask for benefits, just like the day walking ability, something that is beneficial to me and the vampire..."
"What are you talking about? Haha." Father Constantine came over. The previous part of the ceremony, which required him to pray - the part that promised the future that the Holy Lord created for the deceased with the simple hope of mankind, is over. . So he came over and said with a smile, "Is this an interesting topic? Add me."
What a good time. This topic should be more than interesting to the priest... (.)
