“...... It felt like they were deliberately keeping me. Ike in the office, holding his late lunch, explained to Zach, "When I was at the Western Hospital, I often had strange visitors who introduced me as a 'stubborn person.'" The lettuce fork paused in front of him, and Ike peeled off the lettuce with an inexplicable look on his face and thrust it into the steak, "I feel like I'm an exhibited ......"

"You should eat more vegetables. Zach glanced at it and reminded casually, "It's good for muscle recovery." ”

"Uh......" Ike hesitated," Harrison said...... "The plant is still alive?"

"You're human, not a ghoul, right, you don't need to adapt to the world through the eyes of ghouls. ”

Ek paused, blinked, thrust into the lettuce, and continued, "I feel like an animal being exhibited, as a living proof that 'if you don't cooperate, they not only have a way to make you disappear, but they can also do this, make you worse than dead'. ”

Zach discovers that Ike is a well-organized guy who talks to James mostly about the human side - your father's traitorous criminal among the humans, and Zack mostly about the alien race - the Demon Feast's control over society.

Zach raised his eyebrows, and actually sighed sincerely, "This method is really impressive." ”

Ike smiled bitterly, "yes, sometimes I can see the visitor's eyes change from hesitation to sympathy, and finally to determination. ”

"So the West has a peculiar value orientation like General Reims. "Vampire blood can save people's lives, and humans pay a little blood to keep vampires alive, it's a good deal. "And you're a living specimen, well, proof. Zach glanced at Ike, "No offense." ”

"It doesn't matter. Ike could only continue to smile wryly. "If I hadn't discovered their treason, I might have genuinely appreciated their whole system. ”

"Still can't join?" Zach laughed, and the other said, just appreciative.

Ike shook his head, "Appreciation is the limit, and the biggest beneficiary of this system is this." It's not humans, it's vampires, it's a feast. Although it seems that the society in the west, including the military, is flourishing under the shadow of the magic feast, it is also very clear that the unequal exchange of values will sooner or later erupt into contradictions. Today it may just be my little colonel who disapproves, and tomorrow, maybe a general. A commander, Lance couldn't stay in that position for the rest of his life. ”

"But human life, too...... Hehe, you may not live to the day when the conflict erupts. "Uh, who did Zach help?

"Yes. Ike looked at Zach a little speechlessly, "And my deeds probably delayed the outbreak of this contradiction." "A human colonel who rejected General Lance and the Demon Feast was first raised for people to visit. And then really hung up, does anyone want to be the second Ike?

"Don't be so pessimistic. Zach smiled and waved his hand. "You're not in the West right now. Zach pointed at Ike, "Given a new lease on life, you can start over." Zach said that what he said was insincere, and when James returned, the dispute between the two would continue, and the news about the West and the Feast would continue to be dragged out of Ike's mouth. Start over, huh, no one is so good.

Ike smiled helplessly and glanced at Zack. He was actually waiting for Zach to ask questions about the Feast. But Zach won't ask. Now the reason why Ike was approached to take the initiative to share the news was actually the dispute with James last night, and Ike felt that Zach would want him to explain the content of the dispute. For example, why are Demon Feast and General Lance smuggling arms into the northern borders of the Federation?

But Zach didn't need to ask himself, he would ask when James came to his senses.

"I'm ......," Ike probably wanted to test it.

Zach waved his hand, he was going to say something, but he didn't need it, the phone was thought of, Zach glanced at the phone, made a hypocritical sorry expression, and picked up the phone.

"I need a helper. "The 'general' got straight to the point," those two dozen people were very disobedient. ”

Zach raised an eyebrow and watched Ike leave the office helplessly, "Disobedient?

"It's not. The general's tone was very irritable, "You are half right, they are indeed eager for revenge, but you still forget that they are not my subordinates in the first place, the gangs in the southeast have always been in a state of disagreeing with each other, and there is no mutual respect at all, and they still disdain to be led by me!

Zach tugged at the corners of his mouth and repeated slowly, "You can't control them?"

The 'General' was agitated, "What! What do you expect, will I kill them again?!! or turn them all into my descendants?!"

Zach waved his hand at the air, "Did they get into any trouble?" ”

"Not yet. The 'general' adjusted his mood, "but they all went to the police station......"

"Wait, go to the police station?" Zach frowned.

"Is it surprising?! They want to know if the police did their duty to help the southeast in the time of chaos! We are gangs, but we are still legal citizens, you know, they want to know if the police have caught their murderers!"

While Zach nodded helplessly, the 'general''s voice was a little quieter, and the excitement calmed down, probably this rhythm, "The other is to eliminate the filing of missing persons." Didn't the police do a population inventory in the southeast before? "Remember, Colson led the team, James Warped," they are coming back out of thin air now, and they need to register. ”

"And you call me at this time, a funeral home owner......" Zach shook his head, "ask for help, and take care of these resurrected gang guys for you." "Zach hopes that the 'General' will retreat consciously.

"Hmph. I need someone who was originally me to be my deputy, preferably someone who is capable of dealing with these souls who have been to hell!"

Zach was helpless to the 'general's persistence, "Where can I find you such a person?"

"Give me Seth. The 'General's tone was gloomy, probably expecting Zach to speak himself, but Zach didn't recognize it.

The corner of Zack's eyes twitched, "Seth?" "Uh, the witcher demon who was banished back to Hell by his own container, and still hasn't heard anything at all? Let's look at it from the point of view of the General, Seth, the guy who was introduced by No, and became the younger brother of the General. Then he was borrowed by Zach and Noh for a few days, and after completing a Quest commission, he broke away from the organization and disappeared from the group.

"Yes, Seth!" the 'General' affirmed, "I don't have any men, only this newbie." Give him to me. ”

Zach raised an eyebrow, "I don't know where Seth is......"

"Don't talk!" The General raised his voice, "I saw Seth! at the wedding of the inheritor! Don't deny it! I just want to see how long you are going to hide it, and I have to take the initiative to ask for someone!"

Zach blinked, this was a sincere negligence, when he asked the 'General' to go to the wedding, he only wanted to give the 'General', a descendant of Toledo, a chance to appear, but he didn't expect ...... "Uh, you already found Seth, and now you're coming to confront me?" Zach admitted that negligence was a thing. The aggressive tone of the 'general' is another matter.

There was silence for a moment on the other side of the earpiece, and then his tone softened, "I don't want to either." You and Nou used to joke at a party that he went with a priest, but of course I don't believe it. Later, at the wedding, I saw that although he was surrounded by a bunch of aliens, there was still a chance to catch up and question him about the reason for leaving......"

Zach felt a kind of sadness and pursed his lips helplessly, the emotional ups and downs of the 'General' were a little uncomfortable.

"But. I don't have anything left, so what do I have to ask? If he's still under me. It is estimated that it is in the chaos...... I don't think it's better to disturb his life now. ”

Zach couldn't empathize, "You're still talking. ”

The tone returned to gloom, "Because I'm going to [Skull and Skull]!" Just before this call, it seemed that the 'General' had tried a way not to find Zack.

The 'General' needed a way to control the souls who had returned from hell, and it was natural to think of demons and cut out Mike, who was close to Zack. It's also normal to ask for help from [Skull and Skull], "I was originally going to sincerely ask for cooperation, a demon or something, just take revenge if you can take revenge!!"

What can be. Seth's true identity.

"Then ......," Zach continued to shake his head, "did they tell you that Seth was no longer there, and that it was Mason who you saw at the priest's." ”

"That's it. "The General replied dryly, "But I don't care, Seth or Mason has been under me, and if he doesn't remember, I'll remind him! And they're all witchers, right! There are ways to control those who come back from hell, right! I want him back! That's all!"

"Did [Skull] refuse to work with you?" Zach tried to get around the subject.

"Don't talk about anything else!" first with a vigilant rejection, then with a mocking explanation, "It's nothing to tell you, Squill is not here at [Skull Skull], and those guys are not there to excuse the boss's absence, and they don't talk about cooperation!"

Zach recalled, he knew this, and Sgaull was 'expanding his business' in prison, "You should know that even if you ask me for someone like this, it is not up to me to decide whether Jason wants to or not. ”

"I don't care. "The 'General' began to play tricks, "If I can't control those two dozen people, I'd rather 'send' them back to hell!

"Okay. "Zach nodded helplessly, not for the revenge of the General, but for the sake of curbing the progress of Aix Security—for the sake of Grande's new employees (Vol. 4)," I asked. ”

"Hurry up, then. "Hung up.

Zach reluctantly dialed the church, thinking about what to say, after all, it was our vampire himself who had been banished from Seth and promised Mason a free life.

But, unexpectedly smooth.

It was Mike who answered the phone, "Zach, is it for the 'General' to find Mason?"

Zach raised an eyebrow and said, "Yes." ”

"Mason is ready. On the way, it's almost to Grande. ”

"Uh...... You know?"

"When the General went to look for the [Skull], he informed Crowley, and Crowley asked them to deliberately reveal about Seth and Mason, and then let us prepare. ”

Zach frowned, what the hell does Crowley mean? But naturally he can't open his mouth to Mike, Zach curves to save the country, "Father Konstantin has no opinion?"

"Fortunately, the priest is also more supportive of Mason's exercise, by the way, in addition, Mason also has a helper, a high-level demon that the priest successfully created, you may know. "That Sloane who practiced stripping the soul mark, the guy who was said to have nothing to do, now has a job.

Naturally, Zack thought of the guy who had been reminded by Mo that something was about to be born, and he didn't know it, but only knew it—Brill's brother. Well, Zach has nothing more to say, "No one minds, I have nothing to worry about, thank you, for 'General'." "Helpless.

Mike didn't notice Zack's helplessness, and responded happily, "No thanks, help you, it should be." ”

Zach didn't even bother to emphasize that he was saying thank you for the 'General', "Okay, that's it, I'll wait for Mason to come." ”

"Yes. ”

Hung up.

Zach took the wine glass, a little speechless out of the office, standing on the back porch, while admiring the rain, while waiting for Mason's arrival, five minutes passed, Mason did not appear, the West End people's car appeared.

As soon as the splashed mud was raised, it was pressed back to the ground by the rain, and as soon as the car door opened, Lola showed an unhappy face, and was about to jump out of the car, but was carried by gray, and in the rain crossed the space between the car and the back porch, and stood on the back porch.

Lola was stunned for a moment, didn't thank Zach for his thoughtfulness, and waved her fist, "Don't do this kind of ...... again" closed her mouth when she saw Zack's red eyes.

Zach spoke to the driver's brother who was staring at the back porch in the car, "You didn't see anything. ”

Lola watched her driver shake her head and look back to normal, glaring at Zack, "What did you do to him?!"

Zach didn't bother to answer, "You're here for Alice?" she's on the second floor. ”

Lola rolled her eyes, "I'm here for you!" I just came from Parker Elementary...... Lola seemed to be in a bad mood and sat down on the bench on the back porch, "I heard Cordy say you took his commission......"

Zach glanced at Lola, and looked at Lola with a strange expression and took out a bill of more than a hundred dollars, "What are you doing?"

Lola continued to roll her eyes at Zack, "I'll tell you casually, the truth about Lang's death that you got after you completed the commission was even more devastating to Cordy than the previous statement given by Mr. Fisher!

Today, Saturday, Lola said that after the school started, the children could only reunite at Parker Elementary School on weekends to discuss the progress of the project. As for Cody's commission, I don't need to explain anything (Volume I).

Zach tilted his head, still looking weird, he didn't like the meaning of Lola taking out a bill, "What can I say, the truth is cruel." "The meaning of this sentence is that the real truth is more cruel, you know, it is already the 'truth' that Grande has packaged, be content.

"Hmph. Lola slipped the money into Zack's pocket regardless of the other party's wishes, "Now, I want the truth, you help me." ”

Zach looked at the bill in his pocket, which still showed a corner, and blinked, "You, are you going to commission?"

"yes. Lola's third roll of her eyes, "You took the money, then I said, I want to know what happened to Vincent, why he didn't accept a scholarship to go to college, and stayed at Barton to do manual labor." ”

Zach didn't touch the bill on his waist and looked at Lola, "For Kyle?"

"Yes. Lola tilted her head and snapped her fingers, "For Kyle." ”

Zach pursed his lips, probably like smashing the muddy raindrops in Grand's backyard now, can't resist gravity, should, accept the fall, Zach can't refuse. (To be continued.) )
