At dinner time, James woke up.

Not knowing whether to say good morning or good night, Zach said to James, "Miley called again and asked when you were going to be home." ”

"Tsk, what does she want. ”

"The heating in your house went off and she asked you when you were going to pay. "Zach wasn't lying.

"Uh, I'll go tomorrow. James began to wash up.

"You don't have to answer me, just remember to go tomorrow~"

"There's an early ...... Dinner?"

"Yes, Alice and Maya ate at the restaurant. Also, John is there. ”

"John, does he have any news about Kate?" James sped up his washing.

"I don't know, I didn't ask, he came back with Alice. "It's true," I didn't bother. "It should be that after the people of the Firefly family went to see Alice at noon, this genuine brother relied on Alice.

James didn't speak, quickly solved the hygiene problem, and rushed downstairs.

Zach didn't have much to do, and after telling James what he needed to know, he went to the entertainment room and watched TV with Louise. Today's bilingual teaching program taught something new -

The moderator looked serious, "Beep - is an insulting word, don't use it!

Louise looked at the show with a confused expression, "What? Why don't you even type a subtitle, who knows which word can't be used!"

"I think the word that has been silenced is 'white-skinned'. Zach tilted his head, speculating.

"Uh, why? How do you know?"

"When the Federation was first established, there were envoys to various countries, and the republican royal family of that era privately called the Federation envoys. (Fanwaili)

"It's insulting?"

"Well, yes, after all, all the people who went there at that time were vampires, secrets, and demon banquets, and they did some inhumane things to the republican royal family at that time. ”

"Oh. Louise pretended to understand, "Isn't it fair, does our federation have any insulting name for the republic?"

"Of course there is~" Zach laughed, "Beep-"

Louise hammered Zach, "Nasty~"

Zach pushed back.

Perfect. This kind of topic can make two vampires start flirting.

Fortunately, this unpleasant behavior did not last long, and was stopped by James, "Zach!

Zach went to the office. The main and guest seats had been occupied, and Zach leaned on the desk casually, looking at John, who had snatched his place, and then at James, who was hurrying with a plate, and waited for them to speak.

John took two pictures out and pushed them to James, "xx (Central City) took it. ”

Zach tilted his head to glance at a blurry photo of a tightly covered woman walking into a funeral home, which seemed to be captured by some kind of surveillance.

"It's Kate!" James muttered with food in his mouth.

Zach raised an eyebrow, "How can you tell, the only appearance that shows in the photo is the eyes, I can't completely tell who this person is." ”

James glanced at Zack, "I bought her a hat, a scarf, a coat!" and Zack questioned him, "So I know!

Zach pouted, "When did you buy Kate a winter coat?"

James didn't answer.

Forget it, don't question it. Zach glanced at the timestamp on the photo, "It's two days ago." Zach looked at John, not to say that the information was outdated, but quite the opposite, "The wizarding family is really moving quickly. ”

"It's just lucky. John also glanced at Zach, "We just happen to be monitoring some funeral homes in the middle. ”

The topic Zach is interested in, "Why?" monitoring the funeral home in the middle?

"Because of Grande, is that enough? That's a big answer, but John stopped looking at Zach and looked at James, "Do you know why Kate went to the funeral home?" ”

"Miley said Kate was looking for me, I, I don't understand ...... she went" James' face wrinkled, "She thinks I'm dead??"

"Huh. Zach laughed, not intentionally, but not relentlessly, because there was so much to laugh at in James's words. First of all, Miley said, hahaha. Kate would have thought James was dead. Hahaha.

James glared at Zack, "Laugh*!"

"James. Zach suppressed his laughter, "Although you can't be on the news when you return to Barton, if you go to the police station and inquire about it, you will know that Patton's city hero, Detective Lance, has returned." Kate is a journalist, can you respect your girlfriend's professionalism a little. ”

James squeezed a few bites of food with a twisted face.

Zach knocked on the table, deliberately asking John to look at himself, "The funeral industry in the middle is not implementing a privatization policy." ”

John looked at Zach reluctantly, "Yes." ”

"So theoretically speaking, the entry and exit information of the funeral home, the body, and the funeral information are all public resources and can be consulted at will. ”

"Yes. ”

Zach knocked on the table again, this time reminding James to look at him, "Did you ask your father's military men what they did with the lives that Dale had killed?"

James looked at Zach, but his face was so bad that he felt like he was biting his tongue and his cheeks were twitching.

James was able to answer, remember, he asked Wes the same question, and Wess replied, "Those collateral injuries?

Now, we know someone cares, journalist Kate.

As James twitched his cheeks, he didn't bother to speak. So it was John who answered, "You think Kate is investigating the bodies that were disposed of by the military?"

Zach shrugged, he still remembered the day James was rescued, and while waiting patiently for the phone call, Kate excitedly shouted 'Man, man is dead!' But of course, the earpiece at that time was quickly taken by Miley, who announced that they were going back to Barton. But, Miley is the only one back, isn't it?

James spoke, "Barton TV showed some of the news footage in the middle, my father's men controlling the crowd, Miley said, Kate found Wes in those footage, and decided to go to the Midlands to find me!"

Forgive Zack, Zach wants to laugh again. But this time I held back.

James had already dropped the plate in his hand, holding the blurry photograph in his hand, and his eyes were looking at it, "Wes told me that under the control of the military and Oz, the local authorities have no idea what the military is doing! You know how ...... it looks like to have a hidden cover in the eyes of the local authorities. Is it suspicious?!"

This is not a question.

James suddenly grabbed John nervously, "Where is Kate now?!"

We described John's physical fitness, and the young wizard who ran away from home and collected Papa's midnight messages everywhere in the Federation was not weak in James. So it was quite easy to get rid of James's pull, "I said, these two photos are still our lucky results!"

James changed his grip - grabbed Zach, "Kate is in danger!!"

Zach took it easier and pulled James's paw away, "She's a very smart woman too. "Praise other people's girlfriends, Zach does a lot of work, "She also knows the interracial and knows the environment in the middle, I don't think she will put herself in danger, you should relax......"

Before he finished speaking, "I didn't say her danger was interracial!!" James's eyes were breathing fire, because he knew Zach too well, and he knew that Zach had deliberately said this to provoke him. Because- "It's human! It's the military! Kate can't continue to investigate what my father's men are covering up in the middle!!I know the military, I know my father!!I can't let Kate ......"

Zach looked at James, "It's useless to yell at me, James~"

Zack's words and tone should have made a certain tendon in James's head burst, otherwise it would be impossible to explain the fist he swung at Zack.

The consequences of beating Zack, the last time they broke up, James had already learned his lesson, didn't he?

Reproduced. Zach stood still and didn't move, but James bounced out of his chair. He rolled around in embarrassment, and then lay on the ground and didn't move.

The office was quiet for a while, and John, who had reacted, slowly stood up, leaned forward, looked at James behind the desk, then at Zack, and sat back with a frown. Not ready to speak.

Zach shook his head, not feeling overly or in a hurry. If James himself can't go one step further......

Don't you understand the mental process at this time? Let's look back.

Let's start with the topic of victims. We know that when James was kidnapped by Dale, he was convinced that Dale was the victim, and the persecutor was a foreign race that was the root of all evil in James's heart at that time.

Then, James witnessed Dale's transformation from victim to persecutor, right? Oz's psychological means made Dale's psychology impossible to turn back on an increasingly narrow road.

Let's describe James's state at this time with a crack in a piece of glass. A victim can become a persecutor.

Then head back to Barton. Two things.

One is last night's living quarter, Evan. James thinks it's a deliberate dilemma created by Zach to choose between justice and injustice. And we know that this is what James is thinking too much. In fact, there is only one - James tolerated once in his own eyes, as he did with Dale, and perhaps we should be more accurate to say that James once tolerated a growing sin in his own eyes. The criminal behavior nurtured by the living quarters was erased by James's personal narrow-mindedness towards his victims, and his own experiences were no longer remembered. On the other hand, another persecutor was nurtured in Enron.

Rescuing the victims, as it turned out, does not bring justice to the persecutors. cracks in the glass, increasing.

Two. The victim, the concept, was expanded - Vega's interracial serial murders. The crack in the glass began to expand, why? Because the persecutor, James didn't know who it was, no one knew who it was, only the fact that the victim had only a twenty percent chance of getting justice was clearly stated by Detective Vega. This is not to breed persecutors, but to let go and encourage. Go ahead and kill more.

At a time when persecutors can be manifested in the world from various places, ways, and angles, persecutors are still being born in a continuous and stable manner. And the victim seems to be the only loss of the status quo.

Right now. The relationship between the victim and the persecutor is more seconded and more distorted. It's Kate, it's James, it's the military that James's father represents. The military saves James, and Kate investigates the military. From this-

It can be said that Kate is a victim, and the persecutor who will persecute Kate in the future when reporters disclose cover-up actions is the military. It can also be said that the persecutor is Kate, and the one who will suffer is the military who saved James. Can you keep up? Actually, it's quite simple logic, but it's the exact opposite.

James, on the other hand, stands in the middle of these two conclusions. Cracked glass, it's time to be crushed.

Yes, it's not about alien races at all, stop being so narrow-minded, open everything, the senses, the mind, the heart, ....... It's about the world, it's about ...... Living in a world full of living things, thinking creatures will inevitably face things.

When Zach first said to James, "Open Your Worldview," Zach introduced James to the alien races in this world. But the worldview is really knowing that his neighbors suck blood, classmates can float, and friends eat corpses...... Even if it's opened, elementary school students think that addition, subtraction, multiplication and division are everything in the world?

James stood up, the wound on his fist beginning to heal. Instead of apologizing for his actions, he said, "You're right, shouting at you, *useless!"

If I had to find a reason for James's punch to Zack, it would be that James, an elementary school student, had finally seen advanced mathematics, and his teacher, his guide, the only safe haven he hated and had to rely on - Zack said, 'I won't teach it, you can do it yourself.'"

Zach and John watched as James picked up the phone and began dialing.

Zach wasn't going to ask about what was going to be revealed anyway, and it was John who asked, "What are you going to do?"

"Call my father. James replied.

"What are you going to say?"

I don't have to answer it specifically, the phone is connected-

"It's me, telling my father that if he touches one of Kate's hairs, he'll be the only living 'Lance' in this world. "Hung up.

Zach raised an eyebrow and looked at James, "That's a vague threat. Tell me, you're not putting your life on the line. "It's stupid.

"Nope. James replied to Zach, "It's his life." His eternal life. "Break down advanced mathematics, James," the Devil's Feast wants from me, not the general who was robbing organs and had a close relationship with Tsmitch, but me, James at Patton. ”

The development of the organ transplant incident at the Magic Banquet and the internal coup d'état of the arms provider Tsmich do not need to be repeated. If we were to use architecture as a metaphor for General Reims' position in the Feast, would it be a sturdy castle or a shaky tall building?

Zach smiled and nodded, "Then I think, a little bit of information, you might want to know." Recalling Zach's work in sorting out the blood business when he was in Vega, "The amount of vampire blood purchased by the military has been increasing year by year, from zero in the war period to the present. Don't ask, I don't know why, but if you need help finding out, this, I can help. ”
