Zach first looked at the time, it was ten o'clock, and then looked at the phone on his desk. Just like this thing rings without warning every time, Zach can't predict whether it will ring again.
Is Zach waiting for a call, so to speak. It's that kind of mood where you show that you don't care at all, but you're actually really curious. Explain a wave.
This happened yesterday. After Jimmy finally agreed to descend from the sky, Zach conveyed the news of the fallen angel. Then the angel walked around the Grande nervously for several times and suddenly made a decision, "I'm going to see him." That fallen angel!"
Have you underestimated this guy? The shadow in the mirror doesn't escape from the real body that gave him his appearance? Well-
"No! What if he takes 'me' back! Am I still there?! Will I die?!"
Zach was upset at the time, and everyone should know something about what upset him—Georgina. So I couldn't help but say, "You think too much. At most, you will go back and become a wandering ghost. 'I' does not exist, but you have to die. It depends on your luck." For example, like Mirror Man Didi, no It's just luck, I just can't die~
This sentence stirred up the angel's nerves, "No!! I don't know what a wandering soul is at all! I had no consciousness when I was a wandering soul! I don't even know what 'I' is!" I don’t want to go back to wandering around!!”
he howled.
The angel's howl is not pleasant, how can I describe it, it just doesn't feel right. Have you ever heard of a saying called, "You sound like an angel", which describes a beautiful voice. But Jimmy's howl is not beautiful at all, it's almost like howling "Sleep, baby" in a heavy metal style.
In order to prevent this guy who is not easy to ignore from continuing to create auditory pollution that should not exist, Zach calmed down and asked, "Why is Jessica looking for your, um, fallen angel in hell." It's not easy to express the meaning. Just understand.
"Because after the angel Crowley was successfully born..." Jimmy also answered seriously, "Fallen Angel Jessica returned to hell and discussed some things with other fallen angels. After coming up, she expressed her willingness to provide other angels who once had authority. The place at the time of the fall. If Camille and the saints are willing and willing, the 'glory' given by the Holy Lord that has been discarded by the fallen angels anyway, and the angelic power contained in this glory (for example, Crowley is to coach, cultivate New angels), at the disposal of the present heaven!"
"What does this have to do with you... No offense," Zach looked at the low-level angel Jimmy, which meant that the original angel was just a small role, without any power given by the Holy Lord, and was not Angel Crow at all. Li's level.
"It has nothing to do with me at all! This is the problem! It has nothing to do with me at all!!" Jimmy was really a little hysterical, just like the first time he came to Grande for shelter for no reason, looking at such a picture The extremely depressed face always makes people feel inexplicable sympathy, "It doesn't matter, why should I be involved! I don't know anything!"
"Yeah, why." Zach didn't really think that Jimmy didn't know anything. really-
"Because the fallen angels want to be sure! They want to be sure that this method of completely abandoning their former identity as angels can succeed!"
"Explain, please."
"I don't know how to explain it! I am an angel, but I am a 'sudden angel' angel! I can't understand their feelings at all!"
"Then quote." Zach tugged at the corner of his mouth. 'Sudden angel' is such an apt expression.
"Uh... Well, then I quote Jessica, 'I feel relaxed.'" Also with a side quote, "After the angel Crowley appeared, 'If the Holy Lord so wishes.'" Pointing to the sky, " "I hope I can represent the upward opposite of faith." She was talking about heaven and hell. "Very good. Now that we see each other face to face like looking in a mirror, I can feel the reality of this opposite." She was talking about her and the angel. Crowley faced each other, 'Strange, but relaxed, I seem to understand my position better now, I feel that I have found the meaning of my still existence. Why a fallen angel, not an angel who lost the war and died.'"
For a guy who kept howling that he didn't understand anything, his explanation was quite quintessential, "She was talking about why she was sent to hell and turned into a fallen angel or a demon, instead of being directly removed and killed by the Holy Lord."
Zach opened his mouth not knowing what to think. After waiting for a while, his words changed to, "You still haven't explained how you got involved."
"Fallen angels need proof! They want an angel who appears in this 'sudden angel' way to go to hell and show them! Feel if Jessica's 'relaxation' is real!"
The first reaction was, 'Why don't they come up...' Zach shook his head and threw away this stupid reaction - another fallen angel came up, a high-level fallen angel, just like Crowley once, the fallen angel before No matter how friendly the interracial relationship with Barton is, and how many agreements on coexistence and cooperation are made, it will be shattered in an instant.
The second reaction was, why not let the angel Crowley do this proof? Zach shook his head again and threw this away. Camille and the Saints would never allow it. But the saints absolutely hope to obtain information about the powers of angels. then-
Then, only this Jimmy is left.
It was Zach who thought for a long time and said, "You should go. It just so happens that tomorrow is a service. Angels and saints can preside over the service and take advantage of your faith. It's a very simple thing. Go down, take a look at yourself, and be watched. Come on, angels and demons have made an agreement, no one will continue to harass you, you are completely free."
Freedom is a very tempting word, and it is also a fact. When Camille and the saints, now that the angels are dying, have mastered the high-level angelic powers that the fallen angels left in heaven, how they 'use' them is their business, but, obviously, they will no longer be interested in this little Jimmy's.
So it was today, but unfortunately, when Zach was about to go to Mary Church with Jimmy to attend this special service, he was stopped by something unexpected.
Once you say it was an accident, don't try to speculate on any possibility. The result is that now, Zach can only wait in his office, looking at the phone with curiosity but not wanting to show it.
"Mr. Grand." Ah, sorry, I forgot to mention it. Zach is not alone in this office. "You check your phone every five minutes. Are you waiting for a call?" He said in an unhappy tone. This, uh, reporter lady has an impatient face. The atmosphere in the office at this time can almost be understood.
"No." Zach denied directly, "You continue."
The reporter's eyes twitched, and she threw the notebook in her hand (to the table), along with the pen. With great movement, he grabbed the portable recorder on the table and turned it off, "Grand." Mr. No, he raised his hand, took off his press card, stuffed it into his bag, and looked at Zach , "If I say now that everything we talk about will not be recorded and will definitely not be written out, will you be willing to cooperate?"
Zach maintained the attitude that a funeral home owner should have when he was suddenly interviewed. He was humble and said, "I'm sorry, I don't understand what you mean, Miss Katie. Didn't I cooperate?"
"Are you cooperating?!" Miss Katie seemed to be constipated. She picked up her notebook again with a huff, faced Zach, leaned forward with her whole body, and pointed at the notes she had made - one page at a time. Questions followed by blanks are a format that records the focus of the interviewer's answers. She just pointed at a random page, which can be described as a close look, "Let me ask you, 'How does Barton's funeral home decide which cemetery to retain? Were Ford, Grande, and Allen involved? Decision-making, or the arbitrariness of the city government?'" She stared at Zach, "What's your answer? Here, here!" Her fingers, quite nice, straight and slender, poked at her notebook, "This That's your answer! 'Don't know' and 'Don't know'!"
Zach looked at the reporter who was glaring at him and really didn't know what to say. This has nothing to do with Toledo's talent, this is the truth! Zach really didn't know, but this reporter, who was dedicated to digging out the truth of the world, refused to believe Zach's truth. There's no way around it.
Swiping, the notebook turned a page.
"I'll ask again..." Katie, the reporter, turned off the recording and simply wanted to cut out her own faux pas. Really, the reporter started yelling at the interviewee during the interview. It was really a failure, "'Why are you so embarrassed? Did Rand preserve cemeteries on the South Side in the privatization, but not on the West Side? Does Rand have a say in city government decisions?'" Keep poking, "Your answer, 'Don't know'!"
Swipe! Turn the page again.
"I'll ask again, 'The city government's compensation measures for the tomb relocation carried out by Grande in the summer... '"
This time, after being interrupted, Zach pressed down the notebook that was getting closer and closer to his face with the other party's excitement, and looked at Miss Katie helplessly, "I'm not a fool, and I don't want you to think I'm perfunctory. , or have any opinions on your career." Then he pushed the other person back to his seat and said, "I have a personal question. Why do you come back to ask me these questions? You obviously have a target, so instead of doubting my 'don't know' here, , I think you understand these questions yourself, and there are definitely answers.”
Let’s put it this way, every issue on the page will have something to do with the city government. Let Barton's funeral industry reveal the essential reason for the current situation, the city government's policies. No, it should be said that all the questions are why, all the policies of the city government have led to Grande becoming what it is now.
The reporter actually lowered his head and was quiet for a while, then raised his eyes with a provocative look, "Do you think I'm stupid for going to the city hall to ask these questions and then being kicked out?"
Zach couldn't refute, so he could only say, "But it's not smart for you to waste your time here in Grande, Ms. Reporter."
"I know what you Grande are hiding! Zachary Grande!" This inexplicable provocation made no sense at all. "Starting from this year, all decisions made by the city government regarding the funeral industry will benefit from you! Now you You only tell me 'I don't know' here! Only a ghost can believe it! Grande! You are just provoking my fighting spirit!"
This fighting spirit is meaningless at all.
Zach really wanted to say goodbye to this reporter, "Can I ask a question?" Zach shook his head, but kept a humble smile that could wear away his patience at any time, "Why now? I mean, Your problem is about time. It started when privatization started at the beginning of the year. If you are so concerned about this matter, why do you come here to ask questions now?" Zach waved his hand and just added, "When there is citizen resistance to privatization. , where were you? When privatization led to the ** issue of once public information no longer being disclosed, where were you? When the funeral home began to sign a cooperation contract with the police, where were you? When the tomb was moved in the West District, were you Where? Where were you when Ford tried to make a profit in the cremation business? Grande, I am not bragging, when it was a private enterprise, hiring employees from the Hermann plant, and working with security companies, where were you? ? Where were you when Allen was losing money all the way, and even when he intended to sell?"
Katie blushed. She was indeed a young lady. As a reporter, she was uncomfortable with being compared to the interviewees.
Seeing that the other party didn't answer, Zach pursed his lips and removed his smile. Now that the atmosphere was like this, it was better to be more honest and said, "Let's put it this way, Grande has been reported several times. In the newspaper, if I hadn't If you remember wrongly, the author is not you. The report is also a fair description of the changes in the funeral industry that is more in line with the wishes of the city government. Moreover, it is not targeted at anything. Before and after this report, no reporter came to Grande to inspect or interview, and it just came out. ." Zach's point of view is at the end, "I mean, I'm confused, why is it suddenly happening now. If, as you said when you just sat down two hours ago, you want to write an article about funerals You have missed so many things worth recording by recording the industry’s journey this year, and the targeted points seem a bit strange.”
Is it Zach's guess? It's a ghost caused by Aisela. Think about it, who else wants to use Grande to target the city government, so it's not a direct method.
The other party remained silent. Then, Zach is starting to take this as his default.
Okay, because this guy's inexplicable visit has delayed my curiosity, I should send this guy away. Zach prepares to see off guests.
"Yesterday, you broke my microphone!" the other party replied, sitting upright, um, reporter lady.
"What?" Zach raised an eyebrow.
"Yesterday! When we were at the Church of the Holy Son, you broke my microphone and camera in the crowd!" The reporter glared at Zach, not finished yet, "Later, when the police restrained me, it was removed. All my audio and video recordings!" This guy... "You made all my salary for the past six months turn into equipment compensation and bail money!"
Key points -
"I hate you!!"
So, it has nothing to do with anything, this is purely a personal grudge. The most troublesome kind. (.)
