The second wave of 'magical' visitors touched the tail of the police search -
In the car, Sissi looked sideways at the police car driving out of Grande's backyard, then glanced at Zach and pushed the car door directly. When an anxious "Be careful!" came from the car, she was already standing next to Zach. Next to him, "What is this?" the police car just left.
Zach didn't need to explain to Sissy. Instead, he looked at the car that had just stabilized. Caesar shrugged his shoulders in the driver's seat and mouthed, "I'm not skipping class, I'm taking a lunch break." There was another person in the back seat, standing on the edge of the open door. He looked at Zach in confusion as if he wanted to but didn't dare to get down.
It's Chris, Alan's son and Sissy's boyfriend.
For the combination of Sissi, Caesar and Chris, Zach had nothing to say. He just wanted to sit quietly on the bench and sort out what he had just done. This meant that Zach had no intention of dealing with Sissi, "It's nothing."
"Whatever." Sissi didn't really care. She curled her lips at Maya, who was also sitting next to her, and muttered, "Are the banshees all over the place now?" Ignore her, there is one in school and one here. Only. If she doesn't want to see the banshee, she doesn't have to go to these two places, haha...
Maya ignored it and walked to the kitchen to help Mo prepare lunch, leaving the back porch to Zach and Sissy.
Sissi took this as Maya's self-awareness and raised her chin towards Zach, "Let me ask you how your preparations are."
Zach looked at Sissi expressionlessly, "What are you getting ready for?"
"Well, I told you yesterday, Papa Midnight..."
Zach waved his hand directly, "No."
"What?!" Sissi looked surprised, "What does it mean no?!"
"No means no." Sissi wanted to ask, how could she answer
"How could there be no?!" Sissi glared at Zach, her face darkening, "You don't believe me!"
"Believe it or not." Zach didn't bother to look at Sissy's expression and turned away, looking at the construction site on the south side. This was a reminder to Austin and the others not to be too selfless when inquiring about gossip, but to remember to work.
"Then why aren't you ready!" Sissi blocked Zach's sight to the south without even knowing a glance.
Anticipating that the sight in the distance was forced to focus in front of him, Zach raised his hand to indicate that Sissi was too close, "What do you expect me to prepare?" he asked rhetorically.
Sissi opened her mouth and suddenly became angry, "I don't know! But it's definitely not doing nothing! That was Papa Midnight! Appearing at the funeral home for no reason, do you think it's the same as Allen Funeral Home? Are you okay? What if he comes to Grande too!"
Zach looked at Sissi for a while, tilted his head, pointed at Chris who was still struggling in the car, and waved.
Chris' body stiffened for a moment, and he was actually encouraged by Caesar in the front seat, "Go, he won't bite you~" What an encouragement.
Chris got out of the car with a strange expression and walked towards Zach, "Mr. Grande."
Just like the last time we met in the hospital, this was a very polite young man. Zach waved his hand to stop Sissi from speaking, and faced Chris, "I think Sissi has told you what I am. ." Otherwise, he wouldn't have come here—his father and Zach were so unhappy, and he still came to Grande during lunch break at school. You can imagine how tangled his motivation for coming was. So, Zach made this guess.
Chris nodded, nodding, then lowered his head, not daring to look at Zach, "I want to thank you sir for saving me last time, and, besides, I want to take my father's place..."
Zach waved his hand and could almost guess what Chris wanted to say. There was no need. Zach was not going to do anything vampire-like to an ordinary person who gave him a restraining order... "Don't worry about boring stuff like that, sit down, I Ask you something."
Chris sat down on the bench obediently, and Sissi curled her lips once and sat next to him.
"Sissi told me yesterday that after Papa showed up at your house at midnight, you were prompted by Papa to check the incinerator, right?"
"kindness."
Zach continued, "What did you find?"
Before Chris could answer, Sissi jumped in first, "I've already told you, there's nothing! At least what we saw is nothing!"
"How did you fall in love with this kind of girl?" Zach asked with a curled lip, shaking his head, "Let your girlfriend be quiet."
"you!"
"Baby Sissi." appeared, a nickname even more nicknamed than Sissi's. Chris pressed Sissi's hand and said, "I'll do it."
Sissi's eyes twitched and she turned her head.
"Sir." Chris took a deep breath and wanted to talk to Zach properly. "Although we didn't see anything, I checked the fuel and usage records of the incinerator. The losses and records did not match. What happened in the incinerator? Something, uh, went off when no one was looking and burned something. Like that, uh, Papa midnight reminder, but none of us saw it."
Zach nodded, "Does your father know that the facilities on his property are being used when no one is paying attention?"
Chris opened his mouth and shook his head, "No, I, I don't know how to tell him." He was inexplicably distracted and went to another place, "He usually doesn't allow me to take care of the management of the funeral home..."
"But he will find out sooner or later, because something doesn't match up, right." Zach guided Chris.
Chris nodded, his face a little ugly, "And soon, the vacant fuel will be consumed a lot. When the employee finds that the fuel that has just been replenished has disappeared, he will know it. That's when." He frowned, "Father is sure I want to lose my temper again and ask the employees whether someone secretly made false accounts again... "
The situation at Allen Funeral Home needs no further description. Chris was right about his father.
"Then, will you tell your father not to blame innocent employees?" Zach continued to ask.
"Uh..." Chris fisted his hands, "No, because I don't know what to say to him..."
"You can tell him that maybe a person named Papa Midnight did something secretly in your house." Zach waved his hand.
"Uh... no way." Chris looked at Zach and Sissy with a strange expression on his face, "Qian, you told me that Papa Midnight believes in witchcraft, well, it is equivalent to Sissi's Holy Lord. Uh, people..." It's obvious what he wants to say, isn't it.
"Then -" Zach looked like he was convinced at this time, "The only ones who are unlucky are those innocent employees of your family."
Chris opened his mouth as if reflecting on Zach's words.
Sissi interrupted again, "Zach! What on earth do you mean!"
"I'm telling Chris that this is the only way for an ordinary human being like him to develop." Zach did not continue to keep Sissy quiet. Instead, he looked over at Chris, who was open-mouthed and stunned, and glanced at Sissi, "This It's called 'powerless'. Now, I'm going to tell you the same thing. You asked me to prepare, but I didn't. This is called 'powerless'. Can you keep up? As you told me yesterday, I was completely suppressed. Holy Disciple, you.”
Sissi stood up quickly and glared at Zach, "Is this what you want to say? Do nothing! Prepare nothing! Just accept it! Let Papa do whatever he wants in the South District at midnight..."
"Whatever?" Zach shrugged, "Wasting the funeral home's finances and secretly burning things without anyone noticing?"
Sissi's face darkened, "So it's really because I feel it has nothing to do with me! I saw the same thing happened in the mill when I saw it, what would you do!"
"That's what Madison has to consider." Zach did not refute, but looked at Sissy, "Besides, I will be more considerate than you. I will not tell Madison, involve irrelevant people, let They know that this matter may have something to do with Papa Midnight." Following up, Zach raised his hand and pointed at Chris, who was still stunned, "This is an example."
Zach's point is simply that it does nothing but add to the annoyance.
Sissi stared at Zach for a while, and then turned her eyes to Chris. Her expression did not soften at all, but instead added a touch of self-blame, and she clenched her fists at her side.
Chris had some reaction. He held Sissi's fisted hand and shook his head, "Sissi, it's okay. I'm okay. In fact, I'm very grateful that you told me. I..." Chris glanced at Zach and said nothing. .
"Get back in the car!" Sissi pursed her lips and remained silent for a while before speaking again.
Zach shook his head, no need to hide his helplessness, "What else do you want to say, Sissy."
Sissi did not answer directly, but watched Chris return to the car before turning to Zach, "So this is your current state of mind after being played by Papa Midnight a few times?" Sissi was using a commonly used Party game method, "As long as it has something to do with Papa Midnight, you just act like 'I can't do anything'?!"
Zach spread his hands without denying it, "Are you strong? Saint."
Sissi's eyelids twitched, she regretted telling Zach yesterday that she was completely suppressed, "I didn't! That's why I came to you!"
"What are you looking for me for?" Zach tilted his head, but with a very serious expression on his face, "What do you want? Sissy, do you want me to help Chris's father, Allen Funeral Home? Or, you just can't accept it. I was completely suppressed by Papa Midnight, and my self-esteem was hurt?"
Sissi's fist became tighter and tighter, and golden light even began to flash around her. You can think that the expression on her face can no longer contain her emotions and overflows.
Zach waited for a while, but didn't wait for an answer. He shook his head and softened his tone slightly, "That's okay, Sissy, I don't care about your motives. I just want to tell you that you are looking for the wrong person. I I can't help you." Zach gestured to the car parked in the backyard, meaning you can leave.
Sissi made a final struggle, "Then who can I find?"
"You know who to look for." Zach didn't suggest sincerely, but he was telling the truth. "It's about Papa Midnight. Whoever you look for should not be looking for someone under the faith of the Holy Lord." You should look for Sibella. .
Sissi started with a gloomy side, which showed that it was not that she had not thought of this option, but she chose Grande in the end. Sissi and Sibeila got into trouble because of Raging Waves. Remember, it was supposed to be a rare chance for reconciliation between the Barton aliens and they jointly defended against the invading wolves. However, they were penetrated by the sudden arrival of Nofeile. Now Sibella and Nofeile Formed an alliance... Forget it, let's not talk about it.
Zach ignored Sissi and stood up, preparing to go to the restaurant. Lunch was almost here. Although Zach didn't need lunch, it was better than staying here to see Sissi.
As soon as he entered the corridor, without any special warning, there was suddenly a violent knock on the door in the basement below the stairwell, and Sam's voice came out faintly, "Who locked the door! Open the door! Zach! Open the door!" "
Zach frowned. It was lucky after all that this guy didn't come back when the police searched. He went straight downstairs and opened the door, "Sem, I want to talk to you." Seriously and absolutely, Zach didn't want this farce caused by Sibella to continue to affect Grande... This matter cannot be magnanimous. , don’t forget that there is also a magical reporter Kate.
"You can wait!" Sam actually said this to Zach, "I will go first! I have recreated what happened at Ford Funeral Home!"
Zach couldn't react well, but Sam had already spoken very quickly, "It's Papa Midnight! It's not a powerful wizard! It's Papa Midnight! He's at the Ford Funeral Home! He separated Ford and him The soul mark he encountered made Ford think he had fainted from overwork!"
Zach subconsciously raised his hands and pressed his ears, because Sam shouted in his ears, and there was no place to avoid in the small space at the basement stairs.
"I don't think Papa has the habit of letting people faint and take away their soul mark at midnight!" Sam continued, "So I think Ford saw something he shouldn't have seen at the wrong time and place! So I asked Bu Mi helped you do some research at the Ford Funeral Home... "Note, it means 'helping you'. This vampire wizard is very good at using vampire resources. Uh, wait a minute, the focus should be on Bumi, right? Novel, who did not come to Grande to report on the situation in Port Massa...
Before Zach even had time to ask, Sam continued to speak faster in Zach's ear, "Then we discovered that there was a big gap between the incineration room records of Ford Funeral Home and the fuel usage and loss! There is no such thing in Ford. Someone, something! used a Ford incinerator without anyone knowing!"
Sam finished.
Zach lowered his hand on his ears and looked up. Sissi looked at them expressionlessly, obviously hearing them all, snorted, turned around and walked away.
Zach pursed his lips and glanced at Sam, "You stole so much material and you figured out so much." There was no tone.
Sam was stunned for a moment, "Well, I need to prepare. Recreating the wizard's witchcraft is very..." Feeling Zach's attention drifting away, he skipped this part, "These materials will be used in the future. "
"Give back Sibella's things." Zach turned and went upstairs, "A lot of the same, and then apologize to her." The toneless statement, as if this was not an order, but a description of what would definitely happen.
"Uh... no." Rejected? "We don't have to explain anything to her..."
"I don't have to." Zach stated, not intending to continue to struggle with this matter, "You do. This is Grande, my home, and you are my wizard, so when I say something, you just have to do it. , in a way that satisfies me.”
What it means is that something has appeared that makes Zach dissatisfied. Let’s experience it.
The expression on Sam's face changed several times in an instant, and finally turned calm, "Yes, Zach." (.)
