Zach is in rejection mode right now, not the kind of rejection in the grief five-part series, Zach doesn't have anything to grieve, at least not yet. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ Info Zach's refusal is to quarantine, quarantine everyone, including Louise back from the North End, Zach locks himself in Grande's office.
So, before describing the chaos outside, let's enjoy the silence in Grande's office for a moment.
One, two, three...... Or count how long the silence will last.
Zach was pacing, back and forth without any sound. Every time he passed by the desk, Zach would glance at the puppet being placed on the table.
Three, two, one. The silence is over.
It begins with a tight bump from the surface of contact between the standing puppet and the table.
Zach stopped pacing, looked at the puppet on the table, yes, the soul puppet that could only act on Sam's soul, "Sam?
The puppet's vibration lasted for two seconds, then returned to silence.
Just as Zach was ready to decide to take the first step into grief.
"It's me. The puppet made a sound.
Zach closed his eyes and smiled at the opening of his face, "You should be told that it will take time for this thing to work." β
"I don't think you have the patience to listen to me explain how this thing works in detail. Sem's voice didn't seem to be emotional, "And I didn't expect to use this thing so soon." β
"Me too. Zach reached out to get the puppet, but took it back without touching it, "Can you move?" β
The puppet's body began to be covered in a dark red spell, and it was suspended in the air, which was kind of an action.
He frowned at the dangling puppet, "Don't you have a little hidden way of moving?"
"Yes, you can put me in your pocket. β
Zach pursed his lips and held the dangling doll, the dark red spell disappeared very cooperatively, "Maybe I should make a necklace or bracelet or something, you can take it." β
"You want to touch my skin forever. The corners of Zach's mouth twitched slightly. It is impossible for anyone to empathize with Zach's idea at this time that a living person (soul) will always be in the most intimate contact with his body.
"Uh...... I didn't expect this, that, the pockets are fine. β
Tut. That's not what Zach meant. But now that Sem had mentioned it, Zach put the doll back on the table, "I don't understand, what do you mean, is it hurting your soul to come into contact with me?"
"Well, no. It's not me who touches you, it's ...... Wood, I'm inside wood. But if you get hurt, bleed or something, and infiltrate the soul puppet, I'll definitely be affected. β
I'm sure you understand it without going out of the way now. Sam is dead, and it's his soul that is talking to Zach now.
"Then why wood?" Zach was a little speechless, "can't you find a better material?" β
Sem was quiet for a moment, "Yes." yes, why do I use wood. β
Meaning, is it useful to say this now? No!
"Uh, forget it. Zach picked up Sem again, "Pants or Jacket" As a guy who gave people the order to commit suicide, Zach could only give Sam a little comfort in this kind of place.
"You put money in your pocket. It feels a little more important. β
Nothing to argue with, Zach put Sem in the inside pocket of his coat.
It's time to get out of the office.
Originally, the first person to greet was Louise, who had been waiting at the door, but there was a disturbance. James rushed over, stuck between Louise and Zach, and pushed Zach straight back to the office. Curson and Wes, before any of the police officers had time to react, James had already thrown his backhand at the door, "He'll be interrogated by me!"
Zach looked at James expressionlessly as he took the lead behind the desk as soon as he entered the office, probably to reflect the word 'interrogation' he had just used.
"Sit down!" James gestured to the guest seat at his desk, the notebook with the police head had been taken out and placed on the table, and he stared at Zach with his pen in hand, "First question, do you know the person who attacked you!"
Zach didn't answer immediately, and slowly sat down across from James, looking at James, "Are you so professional?" and asked a digressive question, "You live here, or you admit that you just spent the night in Grande." But still, I think that when the police handle cases, they should exclude the police who are directly related to the case, so as to prevent private emotions from affecting justice. β
James: Major: That's a question that we can never objectively evaluate. All we know is that he was never professional with Zach.
This time was no exception, and it was very simple to be taken away by our vampires.
"Nobody! Nobody needs to know I'm spending the night here!!" stared at Zach almost grimly, "unless you have to explain to the officers that this Grande's master never sleeps in the master bedroom!!"
"You're too cunning. Zach didn't need to respond with a hideous response, quite calm, "It's because you occupy our bed that we sleep in the basement." β
"Whatever!!Anyway, if you want to explain how the two of you slept on that stone platform in the basement, tell everyone that I took your bed!" unreservedly lied.
However, James, who had been brought into his rhythm by Zach, was no longer able to regain the initiative, "Okay, but your partners know the truth. "Cowson, Wes," so I don't see the point of you being the first to rush in. Hehe. Zach smiled, "Unless, you're worried about me~" Teasing James?Why not, it's been a long time since I've done this, even if it's just for the purpose of adjusting my mood, it's worth it, "You want to know what's going on before anyone~"
James's face began to flush, proof that Zach was right.
Then keep up the good work, "It's still possible, you're just worried about yourself, Grande doesn't seem to be safe anymore, you have nowhere to protect yourself~"
Just when you think that a person's face can't be redder, James's face gives you proof.
"It's okay, I won't blame you~" Zach looked very generous, leaning comfortably on the back of the chair, as if at home, "Speaking of which, outside, is it really necessary?" Zach was just seizing the moment when James was speechless to obtain information, "Searching the staff living quarters, I can understand." But does it take even Grande to search so carefully? β
Zach didn't really get out of the office, so I can only mention it in a nutshell.
The entire Grande was stuffed by the police, except for the office, which was isolated due to the owner's refusal, every inch of Grande's space was inspected by the police, and everyone, was interrogated.
"You don't want it?" James curbed the color of his face a little and stared at Zach, "Hmph! If you don't want it, just bear with it!
This is the necessity of the so-called victim. Victims of various circumstances whose interests have already been violated will be further violated by those who protect them once they seek protection.
Here's a good explanation of what happened to Grande now - Grande was attacked and one of the employees died (Sam). This was the damage that Grande had already suffered, and then the police came and began a second round of injuries - to rule out that Grande had been attacked further, and searching all corners of Grande could be a clue to the attack on Grande in the first place.
Oh, I know someone might want to ask, who's called the police. After all, we all know that Kim controls Grande's side and Ink controls the graveyard's side. No one is going to bring a bunch of cops in the way for Grande.
Answer everyone, old Hank. Explain afterward.
"The last time the police paid attention to Grande, Director Pierce came in person. "Do you remember this, it doesn't matter if you don't remember, it's a dead person anyway," I didn't perceive Director Cologne. β
"The director has gone to the North End. James probably doesn't notice it nowβhe doesn't need to answer Zach at all~"I'm asking for more protection for you!"
"More protection?" Zach really asked for speechless information from James, "Uh, almost the entire Southern Police Department is in Grande, isn't that enough?"
"Obviously not enough!" James was very annoyed, "the only regulation of the Southern Police Department for protection is closed surveillance!" "I'm sorry, everyone still has to think of Chief Pierce, the dead guy, "You know best, you've been through it once." "It was when Wes had just returned to Barton, and Grande was 'protected' by the Southern Police Department because he had to cooperate with the police and completely close the leakage of information about Wes's identity. Do you remember? "But apparently that kind of protection won't work for you!" James also helped Zach whitewash, not useless, it would be counterproductive. You should remember that Zach blew the tire of the car protecting the Grande police before running to meet James and Wes in room 105 of the small hotel.
"I don't need protection. Zach shook his head, the only irritation in his heart was old Hank, the caller.
"It's not up to you!" James replied gloomily, "The day before yesterday, you contacted the witnesses of the North District self-explosion case, yesterday you helped the South District Police Department get the initiative in the case, and this morning you went to the South District Police Station to give Cousson information about the self-explosion case, and not long after you came back, you were attacked by the same self-explosion!
Well, after James sorted it out like this, Zach couldn't find a point to turn around for a while. Ay. All of this can only make Zach speechless for now. The conversation with Cologne at the Southern Police Station in the morning probably played an important role in Cologne's decision to protect Zack.
Zach could only, "Then I hope that the West Director over there in the North District will be conscious." β
This means that there are some people who understand that Zach does not need any kind of protection, and this part of the people includes Darcy. It was Cologne who didn't know what Zack was forcibly trying to protect, and there was no way to count on this, but to expect Darcy to consider Zack's senses when he sent someone......
Zach raised an eyebrow and looked at James, "Why don't you recommend yourself, you come to protect me." β
First it was quiet, then it was "hahaha." β
"What's ridiculous, and then you have a legitimate reason to live in the Grande. Sincerely, for the first time, Zach didn't understand the motives of James's actions.
"The funny thing is, I recommended myself!" James's mood changed so quickly that he returned to gloom, "Wes recommended himself, even Cousson! And guess what?"
Zach didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "So Director Cologne ran to the North District to apply for support with no one of his subordinates who had professional ethics." "Isn't it, to give up the whole case in order to protect an important resource. Now the quality of police detectives is really worrying.
James acquiesced without speaking.
"Okay. Zach waved at James, there was nothing more to do, and the rhythm was given to James again, "Put away your notes and ask." β
"Where's Sem?!" James was also intrigued, abandoning the original question, "Is he dead or what?"
Zach watched James put the notes away before pulling out the soul puppet in his arms, "Say hi to James." β
Sam, "Hi. β
James stared at the soul puppet for a moment, and the corners of his eyes twitched away, "What the hell is going on?!"
"Of the three Tsmishi, Bumi and I dealt with one, and Sem held one back. The last one refused to talk to me and then suppressed Bumi ......"
It was so rude that what James himself was going to ask, he had to interrupt himself - "Tsmich, vampires, this is an interracial incident?!"
"Are you going to leave it alone? Zach looked at James with a smile on his face, "Just because this is an interracial incident." β
"You!"
It's okay, at least willing to listen to it.
"A human appeared in Tsmich's body, who refused to speak to me. Zach was distracted and listened to the voices outside, it was Mo explaining to the police that the blood in the basement was used for republican cooking. Then Zach continued, "And then, as your police found out, he blew himself up. β
"What about Tsmish?"
"Dead, probably not. Zach shrugged, "The human blew itself up on his body, and if our understanding of soul expansion is correct, he should now be looping infinitely in that isolated point in time." Zach had a thoughtful look, "With Tzmich's body, if I give him two days, he will starve to death." β
James reacted well, staring at Zach, "So you have a living mouth now?!Just no longer in this world?!You go to Walter or something, you can get it out and ask why you were attacked??"
"Didn't I say that guy doesn't communicate with me. Zach just reminded James that he didn't mean sarcastic, because this thought also came up in Zack's mind, and then was rejected for the same reason, "Also, we've never seen a living creature in Tsmich's body, or a human, and to be honest, I'm not sure that Tsmich was still alive before that human blew himself up, it happened too quickly." β
"Then why don't you ask Tsmich??"
Zach looked at James for a while, "I'm going to go, wait for Sam to come back......"
"Wait a minute!Sam! What the hell is going on with Sam?!" James instinctively glanced at the puppet, but immediately moved away. James needed to know what the 'hey' thing was saying 'hey' in Sem's voice, yes, something, what it was, and then decide what to look at it.
"I made a decision. Zach also looked at the soul puppet, "Either accept that Sam may be completely devoured by Tsmich and then become the kind of human who will blow himself up, or let Sam give up the human ...... on the spot"
"Wait!Wait!What?!"
Zach was silent for a moment, "I don't know, it's just my instantaneous judgment at that time." Zach frowned, trying to explain, "A human who would blow himself up emerges from Tsmich's body, and a Tsmich throws up his defenses and pounces on the only human on the spot, Sam. Zach looked at the Soul Puppet, "You're going to ask me how logical my decision is, sorry, I didn't." β
"Don't be sorry, I have the same judgment. The Soul Puppet replied to Zack, "I had a sense of foreboding when I watched that Tsmich rush at me before you gave the order to commit suicide. Then it was a little slower, "and it became very intense when I repeated the recurrence of death." That's why Zach paced quietly in the office, if anyone cared about what he hadn't explained, "I'm glad you gave me the order to act, otherwise, I would probably have stood there and hesitated." "It's not over," and you deliberately waited for me to enter the soul puppet, although it was completely unnecessary, after the necessary process of the Earth Binding Spirit passed, no matter where you were, my soul would return here. β
Chatted.
"Uh, you should have told me this earlier. β
"Again, I don't think you have the patience to listen. β
James, "I'm still here!"
"Oh. Excuse me. β
"Tsk! Sounds like another Tsmich is going to attack Sem, right?! And you just let your wizard kill himself!"
"Exactly. β
"What about Tsmish?"
"Burned. β
"There is a bullet hole in Sem's body that is ......"
"Old Hank later called, unless you police can analyze the wizard's suicide methods, I think this is a help to you. "Zach is just objectively evaluating Hank's behavior. Rather, the reason why Old Hank called the police-
"Why do you call the police!!This kind of thing, you should solve it yourself!The human in Tsmich's body??God, I don't even know how to describe it!!Alien incident, interracial solution!!!" Sure enough, James didn't let go of this.
"Hank called the police. Zach shook his head, "Sem died as an employee of Grande, and Hank saw it as a good opportunity to draw Grande a little bit more clearly. β
You can understand what this means.
The humans in Grande are the old Hank's hopes for Grande's future, and there is no Sam who will definitely leave Zach in the end. But Sem is a wizard, a wizard who lives normally like an ordinary human. When Hank Sr. was cultivating loyal employees for Grande's future in Grande's employee area, he occasionally saw this Sam, who was not under his control, dangling among his employees, and would he feel a little unhappy.
Here's the answer.
"Hank forbade me to perpetuate Sem's human existence in any form. He said that Samuel (Sam) is dead when this person dies, and I still have my wizard, and that's enough for me, don't create any trouble for Grande's future that I won't clean up in the future anyway. β
James was conscious and silently listened.
"So, we made Seim's death a fact. Then, it was the elder Hank who called the police in order to prove that Grande valued his employees. "Lest James doesn't get it," is basically Hank Sr. taking full advantage of the death of Grande's employees to teach the employees he wants to keep a lesson. Zach tilted his head, "Including how old Hank disposed of Sam's body before your police came." β
James clenched his fist. Because he heard that the future of the Grande prepared by the elder Hank, I am afraid, was the opposite of the bright side of the city.
Zach was about to conclude, "So James, if you want to solve the case, follow the old Hank's side, I believe the old Hank has a complete response plan, and may also provide you with some outlets for the self-detonation case." You have to admit that with the appearance of Tsmich this time, the self-explosion case is getting closer and closer to the direction of the alien incident. You may need a human-oriented solution. β
