As soon as I returned to Grande, I received a strange invitation. Let's not talk about this for now, let's talk about old Hank.

Old Hank and Winston talked about the old night, and Zack, who was involved in a human fight, watched the night. When Zach was there, even because of the topic, (Zach couldn't get into the topic of Winston and Hank Sr.'s time with Grande) Zach was far away, and the two of them were very disciplined and didn't talk about any purposeful topics, just just renewing the past.

But the old thing has its own purpose. Without the future, there is no point in looking back on history, right? Zach watched it all night and had already decided that Winston had a selfish motive in contacting Hank Sr.

So the sky was slightly bright, and when he returned to the city, Zach asked directly, "What does he want?" ”

It's the same thing they did when they went to Newton. But unlike when he went, this time Hank Sr. participated in the Q&A, "You left for a while, what did you do?" It's not an answer, it's a rhetorical question.

"Didn't you hear those gunshots? While you were dealing with the bodies, there was a lot of fighting, so I went and took a look. ”

Old Hank glanced at Zack, "Just a glance?"

"Glanced at it three times. "It's a fact, Zach has only 'targeted' among the three forces lurking in the shadows.

Old Hank stopped looking at Zach and began to say as if to himself, "During the time you were away, Winston told me what was going on over there, and he knew that his clients were competing with each other for the little white. He asked me why I wasn't worried about Grande's son, being close to that dangerous situation. ”

Zach raised an eyebrow and didn't speak.

Old Hank didn't expect Zach to respond, "My answer is, Grande's son can't die anyway." Winston said I was still the same as before, blindly believing in 'Grande'. ”

Instinctively, Zach didn't think it was good. Because you can hear the effect of Winston and Old Hank catching up, Old Hank is missing 'Grande'. This quotation mark should be easy to understand, 'Grande' is the old Grande, and it is the Grande when the vampire Zach Ray Grande played the role before he appeared.

Speaking of which, what is the old Hank's sense of belonging to Grande, I knew from the beginning that this old man who has lived a life different from most human beings, and all that is left for Grande is the word 'Grande'.

After a long silence, knowing that the car was driving back to the dirt road in front of the Grande, old Hank spoke up again, "Winston invited me to work at his motel. I said I'd think about it. ”

This is not to give Zach a chance to thwart, accelerate back to Grande, even if Zach still wants to say something to Old Hank, there is no time

The former android, now Reimer, was deliberately arranged by Eves Remer to work next to Mr. Smith, and Earl waited for Zach in Grande.

"Mr. Smith invites you to join him in the church service on the West End. ”

"Excuse me, you say that again?" Zach heard, but the invitation itself was too 'magical'. Invite people to worship, huh.

"Mr. Smith invites you to join him in the church service on the West End. Earl really repeated, the edge of the corner of the mouth of an ugly face, hooking the uncontrollable arc, "Please." "The door has been opened for Zach.

Zach pouted, got into the car, and watched Earl get into the car as well, "Have you been demoted and become a driver?"

The last time Zach saw Earl was at Harrison and Amilia's party, Earl was held in a social setting by a group of people as a representative of the Smith Group, remember (the Quin Group in the Asylum project was withdrawn, and the Smith Group was looking for a new partner).

"It's not~ You're an important friend of Mr. Smith, and I'm here to pick it up because I'm trusted~"

Okay, "A little hint?" Zach put on a sincere face, a real distress signal from a vampire going to a service to another vampire, "What should I 'expect' at the service?"

Earl, in addition to his ugliness, is actually quite good. Remember how this android got into this story, he helped Zach and Benjamin arrange the income of the gray profession, and then accepted Zack's suggestion to let go of the android and the hidden, The twisted entanglement between the vampires of the Demon Feast (Toredo freed the slaves in accordance with the times, so that the android race that relied on the blood of vampires to produce descendants lost their shelter in the middle of the Federation, and when he went to the Demon Feast to surrender his loyalty, he was used by Kozil as a tool to obtain news of the Secret Alliance, and was finally abandoned), joined Ramer and became a vampire.

Earl said that it was probably Zach's main concern, "You don't have to expect to see Louise. Lydia Smith was not praying, and her schedule for the day was to oversee the renovation of the Becky Street, the underground club in the North End, and she invited Louise to accompany her. ”

The club should be the nightclub where the little white incident originated in Barton. With the joint efforts of the Barton society, the Xiaobai case was completely buried and disappeared. As Lydia Smith's only business in the Smith family, there's not much to say about starting over.

What we need to understand is that when we say Lydia Smith, we should be thinking of the Rimmel Clan.

So this is the Rimer Clan, and Eve's daughter Lydia invited the Torredo Clan, Zachary Ry's girlfriend Louise, in Barton's first estate. Historical significance...... Forget it, don't be so serious, anyway, for Zach who went to church, he couldn't participate.

"Why the service?" Zach was a little helpless, "Did I let Smith misunderstand something, he thought I was a believer or something." ”

Knowing that he couldn't see Louise, Zack's mind began to drift apart. The most unpleasant thing at the moment is the occasion of the invitation itself.

"You're thinking too much, the service is just an occasion that Mr. Smith doesn't think will be disturbed. "Earl is kind enough to not squeeze Zack with his 'special' relationship with vampires and faith. Glancing at Zach's image in the rearview mirror, "What I can tell you is that it has something to do with Newton. ”

"So it's not Smith's invitation, it's the West End's invitation together. Zach was right to think so, people in the West End have a habit of worshipping. As mentioned early on, people in the West Side like to donate money to the church and change their religious title to hang on their bodies. Combined with Earl's words, it is clear that the undisturbed refers to the fact that the other West Side people are not and will certainly be present at the church.

"Is it about the annexation of Newton? Zach frowned, "I thought the Barton family was in charge of this. "Even if you invite Zack, it should be Mrs. Barton.

Earl gave Zach any more clues, "Why do you have so many questions? If I can explain it clearly, I won't be the driver, and it's not good to pass the word directly." "It's actually an impatient complaint.

Forget it, Zach didn't ask, and quietly waited for the ride to end.

This was Zach's first visit to a church in the West End. It looks similar to the Gospel Church in the South End, and the hardware may be better, after all, it has been renovated after an accident (Mrs. Quinn's caretaker Amanda was injured).

Zach saw a lot of acquaintances. The faces of the people in the West End were introduced one by one, and Zack's etiquette didn't need to be worried about everyone, and he walked up to the inviter all the way decently, "For the first time in my life, I was invited to worship and dedicated to you." ”

It's a good joke, remember, Smith himself said that he wasn't a believer in the Lord's faith, he was very self-aware. Everything he did to his faith was just for others to see. He doesn't believe in heaven or hell, he just plays the role of a heaven in the eyes of outsiders.

All the familiar faces that Zach sees here should be the same as Smith......

Oh yes, there used to be true believers in the West End, Mr. Pixar, and as we know, Pixar is in decline, and now it's not even a man at Barton.

"Is it the first time?" said Mr. Smith, as if he was genuinely surprised, "I just heard that you have a good relationship with several priests of the Church of the Son...... "Constance Dante, Eric, and now Dan (Danny the Phantom)", and you also walk around Mary's Church a lot, and I always thought you were a believer. ”

Earl also said that Zach was overthinking. Tsk, sure enough, Mr. Smith had misunderstood something.

"The Church of the Holy Child is a business partnership. "The funeral business, isn't it," said Mary's Chapel, where Louise grew up. Zach's explanation is also easy to come by, and it is all truth anyway.

"Oh. Mr. Smith smiled, "Then come with me and tolerate it~" To Zack, Mr. Smith really didn't hide anything, and handed Zack a holy book inlaid with gold edges, "It's good in a while~"

For a while, Zach listened to a story from the demon (priest) in front of the altar

The Origin of Worship.

In fact, it is the story of Genesis, everyone should know it, so I won't repeat it. But the focus of this sermon is not how the Lord created the world, but how the Lord created mankind...... Breaks are needed.

"From the moment we are born, we have been endowed with divinity by the Holy Lord...... a priest played by a demon, saying such words, which also makes Zach unable to evaluate, "We have the image of the Lord, we have the soul of the Lord, we have the ...... of the Lord" The meaning of the sermon, at least what the priest wants to express, is the importance that the Lord attaches to human beings. Man is God, all of His creation. But......

Smith, who was beside Zach, suddenly whispered, "You know what's interesting, Genesis is the first chapter of the Holy Codex. If this so-called Lord rested directly on the sixth day of creation and did not create human beings at all, then the holy scriptures would be over~"

Yo??

Zach looked at Smith and didn't speak, just watched.

It was Mr. Bishop who answered...... Yes, that's right, Bishop's appearance, but inside, what we know, is the soul of the fierce Shel.

We can speculate that the fierce spirit Shel's limited time to go out and travel is wasted on such things as worship, and it is the fierce spirit full of resentment, does she still have any illusions about the world of the Holy Lord's faith?

"Who's to say it's not, from the beginning onwards, what we see is that this perfect God is constantly working for the last creation (man). Hmph, as a result, it (the Holy Lord) also rested that Sunday. ”

Zach's gaze shifted to Mr. Bishop again, still just looking, not speaking.

"Bishop. Since Zach didn't speak, Smith crossed Zach and looked at Bishop with a smile, "I think recently, have you become more cheerful? Hehe, I feel that after you have been bored at home for more than half a year, the changes have been a little big~"

"Of course, this is thanks to the toys sent by Grande~"

Zach dodged the lewd glance from Bishop. You know what this demon is talking about, Evan.

The rest of the time was a bit tough.

It seems that the West End people are indeed getting used to doing whatever they want, and the chatter started by Smith and Bishop is starting to spread.

The sound also changed from a single small sound to a humming noise, which was enclosed in the space of the church.

The priest who preaches is not realised? Probably not. All of the conversations that take place below are under the demon's watch.

Zach felt like he was being deliberately targeted.

"I saw new faces. Zach was named by the priest, "This gentleman must be Mr. Grande who is often mentioned in Mary's Chapel." Do you have any thoughts on the Lord's special day for everyone to rest and worship the Lord's divine might?"

What can Zach think, heh, if Zack wants to speculate, it should be that the Holy Lord discovered this world, studied day and night, studied land and sea, studied fish and birds, and studied ...... When it came to humans, they were stunned...... There is a world of infinite value to the soul!

As a reminder, Zach doesn't know the truth of the faith that Sissi revealed to Chris. What Zach is doing now is his own reasoning

Then, the Holy Lord meditated for a day and thought about how to harvest these souls. So there was Sunday.

Zach stood and looked directly at the priest, "A mortal like me is not worthy to measure the righteousness of the Lord. ”

"Hehehe, Mr. Grande is modest. "Demon Father, sit down this realised vampire.

The buzzing gossip that filled the place also stopped, this is a church after all, mortals, a little respectful. It works well.

The 'moment' that went on finally stopped when the priest felt that even the vampire had no patience to continue listening.

Smith moved quickly, pulling Zach straight to his car before the others could continue to approach Zack.

Earl consciously stopped and left after driving a certain distance, handing over the closed carriage to the inviter and the invitee.

"You've been in Newton for a while. Mr. Smith wasted no time and got to the point at first, "What are you going to do?"

The tone was not questioning, and Zach replied truthfully, "I didn't do it voluntarily." Believing in the fact that Louise was a guest at Smith, Mr. Smith also knew the truth, "I was 'kidnapped' by two of our Patton detectives. ”

"The unnatural death of Lydia's Club origins. "Xiaobai's name, as mentioned earlier, was erased with the joint efforts of the whole Patton society. Then, all that remains is the same 'unnatural death' as the predicament Newton is facing now.

Zach nodded, "Newton has the same case, the scope is wider and the impact is worse, Detectives Lance and Wes were sent to Newton by our North District Police Department to be case consultants. Zach was starting to clarify some of Smith's intentions. This has nothing to do with Barton's annexation of Newton, it is a private matter for the Smith family

Sure enough, "Lance and Wes are your men (don't complain, that's what others think is true), and they didn't pull the case back to Lydia." ”

Now that Zach has the bottom, he calmly, "Of course not." You can rest assured. ”

"Okay, that. Look at Zach, "I think I know what's going on, you know Winston." ”
