"Sorry for the interruption. As soon as the car left Grande's backyard, Zach in the passenger seat apologized to Blake.

"It's okay, how is Louise?" Blake held the steering wheel, and after lunch he gave up talking to Zach again, but Zach offered to give him a ride. The reason, of course, is that Zach was summoned as a witness by the police department.

Zach frowned, and he found himself unable to answer the question. After pursing his lips and being silent for a while, he changed the subject directly when the scenery outside the car window changed from a dirt and gravel path to Route 27, "You seem to have something to say to me." ”

"Oh. Blake naturally consciously did not ask, "At home...... When I was at Stone Manor, I went to a few banquets with my family, and you know, the daily life of the West End people is actually very boring, and the spare time life is just that......"

"He doesn't know. Jackson, a necromancer who suddenly interjected and pretended to be 'sitting' in the back seat, said in a somewhat peculiar tone, "Grande's spare time life, things are one after another, and I can't stop at all." ”

Zach ignored it and continued to face Blake, "Banquet, is there anything special going on?"

"Yes. Blake gave Jackson a don't interject look from the rearview mirror, after all, Zach was just a ride to the Southern Police Station, the drive was very short, and what he wanted to say needed to be said in this short time, and he didn't have time to be interrupted.

"Although I haven't lived long in Barton since college, I know most of the banquet planners in the West End. When I was a child, I saw too many waiters and suppliers, at least familiar. Blake got ahead of Jackson when he was about to interject again and say 'me too,' "Kids on the West Side are basically like that. ”

Zach nodded, didn't say anything, and motioned to continue.

"Like the Lady Quinn dinner you attended earlier, eh. Nominally the time Poch returned from the sanatorium. The banquet supplies were handled by a contractor named Sheila......"

"Sheila. Zach suddenly interjected, the ugly woman at Cliff's wedding, who was combined with merfolk to give birth to the matriarchal of the Kraken and the Charm, the Wingman, "Lady Sheila, we know each other. ”

Blake had a puzzle on his face.

"She's a winged person. Zach glanced sideways at Jackson. "One of the aliens who have lived in the West End for a long time, and now the material replenishment of Sharp Manor is that she helps Riley deal with the charm, and Shel's fierce spirit characteristics make it difficult to maintain the manor. Even if he explained the situation a little, it didn't matter how much Blake could understand, "Did you mention her specifically and what you were going to say?"

"Uh......" Blake shook his head, pushing back the first instinct to ask, "Are there any more aliens in the West End?" "No, no, just as an example, but, when Eun mentions her, he thinks of her, and then it's hard to ignore. "Because it's too ugly, the picture in my head is too strong.

Blake pursed his lips in embarrassment. Since Zach knows, then Zach must understand. "Anyway, she and our family have been cooperating with each other for a long time, and most of the banquets are through her, but this time the banquet in Kunyin Manor is not her. ”

Blake frowned, trying to be as clear as he could about what he wanted to say, "After the explosion of Becky's transporter. Quinn's banquet was primarily for charity. Mrs. Quinn wanted to mobilize everyone to help the wounded. Most families participated, like Smith, Barton, Falken, and some media outlets in the North End...... We, Stone, and even Pixar, who have been away from the West End for a long time, were the first to react at that time. Ambulance work began. ”

Zach didn't urge, and if Blake felt that these arrangements were necessary, then there was nothing wrong with listening to them.

"And then nothing surprisingly, I was banned. The family doesn't want me to talk nonsense when there's media, well......" He glanced at Jackson in the rearview mirror, and if he didn't say anything, Zach would understand, "so I was bored and just wandered around outside the manor." Then, I stumbled upon ......"

Blake's expression became serious, "Mr. Smith was talking to an Indian I didn't know outside the venue, and it seemed that they didn't want to be disturbed, and when he found me, he stopped and gave me a presentation on me. ”

Zach already had a hunch. The clue is slightly obvious, the Indians in the Western District, or at the banquet in Kunyin.

"Boyson, Smith introduced him as the supplier of supplies for the banquet. Blake continued, "I didn't think anything of it, and it was normal for Mrs. Quinn to know some Indicians, and after basic socialization, I left. I don't know if Mr. Smith and he continued to talk, but, just as the banquet was over and everyone was about to leave, this person, well, the supplier Boyson approached me, and he ...... Well, you seem to be interested in me. ”

Hell, Blake, he's blushing!

Zach felt that Blake's dangerous thoughts should be dispelled as soon as possible, although most of the Indians were tall and strong, maybe Blake's type, but ...... You know, that's Boyson!

"Boyson is a wizard, and now I can tell you definitively that he is my enemy. Zach said very bluntly, "His relationship with Mrs. Quinn, Mrs. Quinn, who came to me a few days ago, made it clear that he was troubled, so don't believe the supplier's claims, this guy is dangerous." ”

Zach narrowed his eyes, "And I can probably guess what he's trying to do with Smith." "Let's not forget who made Barton's homegrown 'Valmina'!

"But I'm not worried about Smith. There was a slight smile on the corner of Zack's mouth, and everyone should not forget that Boyson's name had been clearly told by Benjamin that Eve Reimer played Smith's stepdaughter! Boyson approached Smith and killed himself. If Boyson's luck is 'good', heh, his hostile relationship with Zack will be destroyed under the anger of Rimer's 'Valmina' being plagiarized without Zack's action.

Zach looked at Blake, who was struggling to digest, again, "You don't seem to be done yet. ”

"Yes...... Be. Blake seems to be in a terrible situation right now, and no matter what he says, Zach adds a lot of disturbing information. But the real uneasiness was about to begin," he said something that I didn't quite understand, and he said, I quote, 'There's something about me that amazes him.'" ”

Hell Blake. The face was red again.

But immediately, he shook his head and threw away the humiliating performance, "Just after that feast, I noticed that some strangers began to appear around me, men. But it's all ...... Well, pretty. Blake frowned, as if he didn't like pretty men...... Sorry, now is not the time to focus on what type Blake prefers.

"I don't have anything to do at home after the work arranged by the mayor, so in order to avoid some arguments with my parents, I usually avoid meal times these days and settle things outside. Then I found out that these people are always around me. Pay attention to my moves. Even sometimes when I go back to the manor, I find them on the periphery of the manor, and when I try to confront them or notify the security guards, they disappear. I think they're following me......"

Blake was about to continue, when Zach interrupted with a raised hand.

He glanced sideways at Jackson with a thoughtful expression, "I think I know what Boyson is talking about." Also know what those stalking you are. Zach tugged at the corners of his mouth and withdrew his gaze. "Let me confirm one thing first, did these people disappear after returning to the North District?"

"Yes. Blake nodded.

Zach nodded as well, "What Boyson said to amaze him was the contract that John cast on you and Jackson. Boyson is the man of Papa Midnight, and John is a wizard who can modify the witchcraft of Papa Midnight. Papa Midnight is the ancestor of wizards. Can you understand these connections? ”

Blake opened his mouth and nodded reluctantly.

"As for the pretty men. Zach shook his head, "It's the Kraken, the Kraken modified by Papa Midnight." Just as the Siren has no males, the Kraken has no males. There is no ability for racial inheritance. There were inexplicable fires in the South and North districts before, and you should have heard of them. Zach pouted, "To put it simply, Barton's north and south zones are set up to prohibit the entry of creatures like them, who have been modified by Papa Midnight. Zach shrugged, "Also John's masterpiece." ”

Therefore, in the north and south districts where the enchantment changes the laws of the world, the world punishment obliterates the modified kraken, but in the western area, there are still remains.

It's all overlooked before, and Papa's purpose for making these mutant Krakens at midnight is still unclear, and no one thinks that these soy sauce things that haven't appeared before they appear can still pop up in the West End.

"Uh......" Blake seemed to have a hard time understanding, but tried to continue, "Well, that would explain something, well, and that's why I wanted to talk to you about it." ”

The speed of the car began to slow down, and the Southern District Police Station was already in view.

Blake's face was ugly, "Whether it's a lunch break or a night sleep these days, I keep repeating the same dream, I don't think it's normal, it probably has something to do with the alien race." ”

Zach raised his eyebrows, trying to correct it, it's normal to be alien, it's just that most people don't understand it. Come to think of it, Blake should realize this for himself.

"In my dream, these strange, beautiful men sang to me. I couldn't understand the language they were singing, but the weird thing was that I knew what it meant—'Save us, help us get rid of Boyson, save us.'" ’”

"You're so long-winded. Jackson found an opportunity to interject in the gap between the silence of the two in the front seat, "Let's talk about this first, let's start from the beginning, is it a shameful thing to dream of a man singing, make you embarrassed to ...... first"

"The Kraken, like the Charm, uses sound to seduce. Zach interrupted Jackson, "You're not dreaming, you're being seduced." ”

"Oh. Jackson's head crossed over the gap between the front seats and looked at Blake's flushed face, "That's shameful enough." ”

Blake's hand swept Jackson back, frowning, "Then what should I do?" ”

"Stay in the North End. Zach frowned, he was already thinking about other things, "Boyson and those male Krakens can't enter the North and South Districts, you won't be disturbed here. ”

Disturbance-yes, that's Zach's characterization of Blake's bizarre encounters that take advantage of this ride. It's just a few weird dreams, and there's really nothing to worry about.

And the Kraken that Zach knows is not just a strange dream. The strongest predatory race, remember. The demon Riley took over Bishop Manor, and these male kraken, all they can do is make Blake blush, if it is someone with other attributes, it is estimated that they will not take it seriously at all.

And what does the message they convey in seduction, save them?

The Kraken who has lost its inheritance has appeared as a male under the recreation of Papa Midnight, which should be the gospel of their race, what needs to be saved.

"Well, is that okay? Well, what they sang......"

Zach waved his hand, "Sounds like they're asking for help, probably for the same reason that Boyson is interested in you, thinking witchcraft can help them." And the contract sorcery on your body makes them feel hopeful because it was put by John. But, we don't know witchcraft, do we? Zach spread his hands, "You have time, you can ask John and Sbella." ”

That's what it means to not care.

Zach felt that it was not enough, and glanced at Blake, who was actually nodding seriously and considering Zack's suggestion, "But you don't have time, this vacation is over, and you have to be busy with Anthony's campaign." Don't get distracted. ”

Blake opened his mouth and nodded, "Yes, yes." ”

Zach smiled and patted Blake on the shoulder, his other hand was already unbuckling his seatbelt, and the police station arrived, "Thank you for giving me a ride." Don't think about it, now you should fully realize that some things are beyond your ability, just do what you can do well. This ......," Zach pushed open the car door, glancing at the door of the Southern Police Department, tugging at the corners of his mouth, "This applies to everyone, including me. ”

Yes, Zach doesn't know what he was summoned to the police station for! Hopefully, Wes, who was already walking this way in front of the police station, could give himself a hint.

Blake's car turned around and left, and Zach also raised his hand to block the sun and face Wes with a wrinkled face, it is worth noting that Wes also had a few band-aids on his face, which was a little joyful.

"You know I've been called as a witness?" Zach smiled as he looked in the shadows.

"Yes. Wes's voice was low, and he quickly turned around after meeting Zack, showing that he was leading the way, but his eyes looked left and right, obviously not wanting to be found out that he was leaking the police process in advance, "It's because of me." ”

Zach raised his eyebrows, didn't speak, and walked beside Wes cooperatively, stepping into the police station.

"The missing nursing home nurse you brought to my attention earlier, he came back, yesterday. After entering the police station, Weiss's voice became quieter, "Because of his disappearance, he is a suspect in the convalescent fire, but he said that he was with you at the time of the fire, and you are his witness to dissipation." ”

While listening to Wes's words, Zack looked at the South District Police Station, which was a little empty, and the reason was that Zack knew that he was urgently transferred to the North District Police Station yesterday afternoon.

Now is not the time to explain. Wes, on his way to Zach to the hearing room, had to finish what he had to say, "You should have been summoned yesterday." But the attack of the North District Police Station was too sudden, and everyone was taken away, and the previous case in the nursing home bureau didn't want to be turned over (because it wasn't solved last time, so it couldn't be resolved), so I temporarily hung him out for a day, and I only notified you today. ”

Zach nodded slightly, indicating that he understood, and at the same time saw the door to the interrogation room.

"He knows what you are, I mean he knows you're sucking......" There was already a police officer with a document behind Wes walking to the side.

Wes couldn't say more—

"Rookie, give me and this ......" the officer flipped through the papers, "Mr. Grande, pour two cups of coffee!" the guy smiled at Zack and pushed open the door to the interrogation room, "Please come in, it's okay, just a moment." (To be continued.) )
