It is obvious that Grande's new living quarters do not meet any safety building regulations - it is a family-style living environment, but not a dormitory; it is a honeycomb dormitory building, and no, it has clearly separated unit family zones. This multi-functional building form has brought a lot of trouble to the facility wiring of Saidil Security. "Who approved you to build this kind of house? There are no suitable security regulations to protect your kind..."
Zach interrupted the other party's complaints with great ease, "Hey, you are going to provide free upgrades. If you can't finish it today, you can continue tomorrow. I will be very grateful for your company's service. If everything makes me satisfied, I promise, we will do more." How about renewing the contract for three years?"
"Well… "
Then continue tomorrow, Grande can stay closed for one more day, there is nothing wrong with it. In this way, after a busy day, the west side of Grande's backyard saw off all the working people at dusk and returned to quiet.
No one in Grandry cared about the situation in the new living area. Only Old Hank, who had finished chatting with the tomb-guarding employees in the cemetery area, brought over an employee who had finished his shift.
"Bain wants to see the living area." He just said hello to Zach, urged him to have dinner in the usual way, and took the people to visit the new living area.
Let's talk about a fact that would make Zach very ashamed. Zach thought for a long time before he remembered this employee at Louise's reminder, and his focus was a bit distorted after thinking about it.
"Uh, I'm an employee who cares for Nanyuan. I work the afternoon shift. I got an advance on that month's salary for the first month I came to work." This was Louise's reminder.
"Oh, Bain, I remembered it. Wait a minute, can we still get an advance on wages?"
Louise looked at Zach, "Yes, we can."
Zach pouted, not prepared to argue with Louise about this. We all know that these employees are unemployed workers at the Hermann factory. If Louise's sense of social responsibility hadn't exploded at that time, Grande would not have hired new employees at all. Therefore, there is nothing to say about compassion that flourishes at the same time as social responsibility.
There was nothing to do anyway, they were all in the kitchen helping Mo prepare dinner. Louise saw that Zach was not going to set any rules, so she continued, "Why do you think Old Hank brought Bain to look at the house?"
"I don't know." Zach shrugged while cutting potatoes. What he actually wanted to say was 'I don't care'. But there’s no need to continue to prove that you have four bad bosses, right
Louise curled her lips and threw a few more potatoes into Zach's hand, "I guess he will stay for dinner, so you cut more."
Zach still looked indifferent, but Mo said, "No, he's going to leave soon, so there's no need to prepare..."
Do you understand that once an outsider sits at Grande's table, she will have to bear the burden of food for Grande's whole family, and her workload will double! If you do the math, you will know that the only people Grande needs dinner now are the Great Dane Jin, Old Hank, and Alice and Maya who don't know when they will come back. Well, Grande is out of business, and Matthew is on vacation. If she wanted to put it on the table, she would have to prepare food for herself, Danny, Zach, and Louise who were destined to waste the food. Look, it was doubled.
After receiving a wink from Louise, Mo rolled his eyes and shut up.
Louise obviously wanted to express something. She observed the movement over there for a while at the window, "Do you think..." She was saying to Zach, "Will Bain move in?"
"I..." Zach carefully avoided the issue that he didn't want to deal with at the moment - Grande would move in as an 'outsider', "I don't 'feel' anything. Then it's our house, and we can decide whether anyone will move in."
Louise continued to put potatoes in Zach's hand and curled her lips, "Then decide quickly. Bain is already asking Hank what procedures are required if you want to move in."
Very helpless, and Zach heard it very clearly, Bain not only asked about the procedures, but also applied for family zoning. The original words were like this-"Well, can my family move in with me, my wife and children? You know Mr. Hank, my child is only a few months old. I think I will need a more enclosed place. I don’t want my child to disturb other colleagues..."
Why.
Zach gave up cutting the potatoes and began to throw the potatoes into the pot and add water. "No one doesn't like mashed potatoes, right?" He opened the fire and covered it, and leaned against the counter in a daze. In fact, it is a serious moral struggle.
Louise pursed her lips and continued to listen outside the window wordlessly for a while. She shook her head and curled her lips, "It's okay now. You don't need to make a decision. Hank has decided that Bain is going to move in." She was too lazy to pay attention to Zach's words. Start helping with ink.
As if he was going through a very intense ideological struggle, Zach pressed his chin and said, "This is a very, very wrong decision."
"Really? Then go tell Hank." Louise stared at the pot and started to tumble the potatoes in the bubbles, using a disdainful tone, meaning she didn't want to cooperate with Zach's pretentiousness.
He had to continue being pretentious even if no one cooperated. Zach frowned and said, "I asked Hank if any of the current employees in the cemetery are likely to stay in Grande (the development of the city indicates that a large number of people will soon appear in Barton." Job opportunities), he said no. So, it makes no sense for Hank to let employees move in now. We can’t keep him, so why should we provide more benefits to people who can’t keep him? It doesn’t make sense. "
Louise still said the same thing, "Yeah, then go tell Hank." And impatiently, "Mo, can you make this cook faster?"
"Okay~" Well, Mo kicked the gas tank a few times.
"Don't you agree with me?" Zach wanted to continue to be pretentious.
But Louise was completely too lazy to care. No matter how heated their discussion was here, they couldn't change the fact that Old Hank had already talked to Bain over there about reducing his salary if he moved in. It's not that it can't be changed, it's that Zach doesn't want to care about these things at all. This new living area was originally built for old Hank and Grande's future, and in that future, there are no vampires whose time is fixed.
The reason Louise really brought this up was to ask Zach where she and Zach would be in five or ten years, when Zach's last name is no longer Grand. The possibility of Bane moving into Grande just reminded Louise that she should start thinking about these futures, but look at Zach's ghost.
Huh, vampires are no different from other men. Even if they just talk about things like the future, they start to go around in circles. Forget it, if you are as smart as Louise, why bother exposing Zach.
Likewise, someone as smart as Zach would give up when he sees fit, "Hey. But since it's Hank's decision, we have no choice but to support it."
Louise rolled her eyes and didn't bother to answer the conversation. She picked up the potatoes that were obviously not yet ripe, threw them into a bowl and started to mash them. It was bound to make an unpleasant mashed potato. It didn't matter, she didn't want it anyway. Can eat. Alas, I can only express my dissatisfaction in this way.
"I'll answer the phone."
Saved by the phone call, Zach cleaned himself up and left with a smile. He pretended not to hear Mo Mo behind him, "How about we stuff some mashed potatoes into his blood tofu?", and of course, he also pretended not to hear Louise's unhesitating agreement.
Expecting the phone call to be something that would require him to travel so he could avoid this dinner. But Zach is also very aware of the reality. At this time, Alice is probably calling to inform her that she will go home late at Laura's urging...
Zach no longer had the accuracy of his predictions about the phone call in the morning. From the moment he picked up the call, noisy electromagnetic sounds continued to come from the receiver, "Zach... Zach? Can you... hear me?"
"Constantine?" Zach raised his eyebrows, "I can hear it, but your signal is very bad. Where are you?" In the voice that Zach heard, Constantine's voice sounded like electromagnetic sound. The injection of medicine is intermittent and difficult to identify. Fortunately, Zach is a vampire and has extraordinary senses.
"Haha... We are in... a hunter's stronghold... It seems to be... an air defense... bunker or something..."
Listening to the voice on the receiver, Zach didn't think that the call conditions allowed them to talk about other things. "Are you safe?" The first thing to confirm first.
"Security... Wait a moment..." Hang up.
Zach held the receiver for a moment, frowned, and put it down. When I was wondering, the phone rang again and I picked up, "Constantine?"
"Haha, it's me." There was no noise this time, and Constantine's voice was extremely clear, "Is it clear now?"
"It's very clear." Zach pursed his lips.
"That's good. Haha, I asked them to remove the protective barrier." Is this explaining why the voice became clearer
"Uh... Is this good?" Zach frowned. Constantine was in the middle of the most chaotic place, and he was still the troublemaker among the hunters holding the 'Colt'. Zach didn't feel like giving up for the quality of the call. What a wise decision a protective barrier is.
"Haha, it's nothing. Anyway, the only function of that thing seems to be to interfere with my phone calls. It doesn't matter if it is there or not."
Zach heard absolute confidence in these words. Zach didn't know what to think. Zach had only glanced at Constantine's strength. He could only hope that Constantine knew what he was doing. Still not wasting time on small talk, Zach asked directly, "Do you have anything to do with me?"
"Oh, let's ask about the situation in the Church of the Holy Child. The devil here contacted Mike several times, but Mike didn't answer. The fallen angel doesn't seem to be in Barton either. It's not too troublesome, haha, so I'll ask you. What's wrong with Eric? Are you ready?"
Zach blinked, sly Mike, but he had nothing to hide, "I'm confused about some things, so I asked him to go home and have some quiet time these days."
The laughter coming from the other side of the receiver didn't seem to be surprising, "Hahaha. I probably shouldn't have let him read through my personal notes. I wrote a lot of my own thoughts on faith in them. Haha, when I left , he looked like he wanted to ask a lot of questions but didn’t dare to ask them.”
Zach shrugged his shoulders, neither refuting nor agreeing, "There's nothing wrong with letting him know the problems he will face." It's better than going all the way like his father did, and finally got an active request to no longer be in this world. The ending that leaves a trace is better.
"Yeah." Constantine responded softly, and then changed the topic in a brisk tone, "I think, I'm not sure, I think I saw your friend here. Sorry, there was never a formal introduction. Yes, I only saw him go to Grande to find you a few times."
"My friend?" Zach raised his eyebrows.
"Well, I'm not sure, tall, medium build, gray hair..." paused, "does he use a good gun?"
Zach opened his mouth, "No? Well, someone among the hunters should know him. He was the first person who asked the hunters to track down 'Colt' to Barton."
"Oh! Wait a minute." The voice in the receiver shifted. Constantine didn't know what he was doing there. After a moment, a strange voice shouted over there, "That's him! No. Repet! Now!" Get this thing out of my body!!”
Constantine's voice came back in the receiver, "Haha, did you hear that? It seems confirmed, is he your friend?"
Zach had a lot of questions, but let's start with the question at hand, "How are you, uh, okay over there?"
"Haha, it's nothing. I just put a demon into the hunter's body so that he can confirm the appearance of your friend in the demon's soul mark." Explanatory digression, "You know that the soul mark of the real hunter and the devil communicates System, obviously not all hunters can accept this method."
Zach frowned, "Why is there an image of Nuo in the devil's soul mark?"
"Oh, don't worry, he's fine. When I met him, he was in a little trouble, but I helped him solve it. It's just a pity that he seemed to be in a hurry and left in a hurry, so I couldn't confirm anything with him. "
Zach continued to open his mouth, okay, let's start with the question exposed in front of him, "Constantine? Are you acting alone in the middle?" Otherwise, you can confirm it from the hunter next to you right now. Did you know Nuo’s identity
"Yes." He replied very simply, "Haha, you don't have to worry about me. I'm glad that church life didn't make me lose my talent. But these hunters, haha, they have a lot of things to worry about. This kind of thing Don’t bother them.”
Still, Zach heard the confidence in the words, and to be honest, he was not used to it. It was more comfortable when Constantine remained a priest-harmless comfort.
"Okay." Zach frowned, not knowing how to respond, "Be careful. Also, if you meet Novo again, uh, tell him to be careful as well." What could Zach say? Nuo was obviously doing something in the middle of the country, and most likely it was a commission from some gray profession. Zac couldn't say anything to ask Constantine to protect Nuo.
"Haha, okay, but I don't think you need to worry, he seems to be able to take care of himself." Constantine said at the beginning, 'It's a good gun', isn't it? "Well, he needs about Just some silver bullets or something, I promise I’ll give him these next time if I run into him.”
Zach pursed his lips and nodded, "Thanks."
"It's nothing, haha, I won't disturb you, goodbye."
"Goodbye." Zach put down the phone.
When he needs to go to the middle of the country for a gray professional commission, Zach can only think of Quest. Well, I'm afraid it's not a commission, but Nuo's free help. Just like last time, no one in the gray professional circle paid attention to Quest even if he had to offend Smith. , Nuo still helped.
Zach frowned, 'No should have come to see me', thinking this in his mind, he left the office. My wish to avoid dinner came true—
The forces in Barton are not only demons and hunters who have influence in the central part, but also the vampires protected by Nophele in the central part, and the black witches of Salem.
Maya will be back anyway, and Zach is now going to find Dora and Bumi. (.)
