Gang of 16
"Where are you going?" Zach watched as James shoved a glass of water into Sloan's hand, then turned and walked away, not expecting his question to be answered.
"Do my job. James glanced at Zack and left in the direction of west, "Go to the cemetery." "Are you going to talk to the Sedil security guards?
"You're on vacation, James. Zach smiled, so it was just a thoughtful reminder. Of course, Zach will not stop James, he is very virtuous without encouragement, everyone should not forget the 'general' who has nothing, don't forget Cowson, don't forget heh, don't forget the southeast, the southeast from the chaos and the continuous production of corpses, to the way it is now cleaned, the process is still a mystery, and Aix Security Company opened inexplicably in this mystery.
Zach didn't need to worry about James being caught up in Sloan's two versions of reality, and the General's Son found a new purpose.
James subconsciously touched the police badge on his waist, but fortunately Zach reminded him that this thing on his waist now has no effect.
"Matthew and Danny, they're going to the cemetery to prepare the grave of Ron and Lady Donna, you can go together. Zach gave a reminder.
James's gaze was on the prompt, locked on Matthew and Danny, who were preparing tools in the warehouse, and said as he walked, "I won't help you with the work." ”
"Don't laugh at James, we have employees at Grande, and it's not your turn yet. Zach smiled and waved his hand, no longer careless.
Harrison, who had never had much to do, reached Zach and said, "I, can I go along?" presumably to explain to himself, "I want to be useful." ”
Zach frowned slightly, "Harrison, you don't need to make yourself useful in Grande. You have your own life to go back to, it's just that you're not ready right now. ”
"Huh. Zach's conscience was blunt, and it didn't seem to have any effect, and Harrison shook his head with a dry smile, "Do you mean the human work that I don't even remember, and my girlfriend who is completely unimpressed?" Hehe...... "The people who spoke and listened were embarrassed, and immediately, the faces of the people who were listening became terrible.
"But I know that I am an alien, whether you are a alien or a powerful alien, you have your own circle, gathered ......" Harrison's gaze turned around Grande, although the people were not uniform, but the point of view should be very clear. "Hehe, although I don't remember, my last death seems to have been caused by my absence in your circle. "Remember, when Harrison asked Zach this, Zach acquiesced, "I want to stay in this circle this time I am reborn." ”
It was James who had a bad face, and he didn't know if it was Harrison who counted him, a human detective, in Grande's circle. Or will he see one more alien race in Grande again?
The other party said so, and Zach really had nothing to refute. After noticing James's expression, and giving him a look that was only one line away from showing off, he looked back at Harrison, "Okay, but your human identity won't disappear, and James can prove that your disappearance case is still hanging in the North Police Station." The people who care about you are still waiting for your news. Someday you will still return to your original identity, and you should be ready. ”
Harrison smiled, nodded, and walked over to James, patting the gloomy detective and greeting Matthew and Danny, who were ready to go. The exchange between them began, "Zach told me that Emilia was always called to the police because I was dragged by Detective You?" Detective Lance, hehe, you are a good person, thank you......"
We don't care about them.
It is said that this dialogue in which Zach called Sloan out of the basement completely deviated from the original purpose from the time Zach 'mistakenly' let James go to the water. Zach was there to help Sloane, remember. It's time to get back to business.
Zach sat down next to Sloane, who was irritably shaking white water, "I won't be distracted now." You mentioned earlier that you were having some trouble getting back Lip. ”
"I said the same, you guys won't understand!" Sloane wasn't in a good mood, and the reason he was willing to come out wasn't to tell Zach and James about the scrapped 'reality', but it wasn't to discuss his problems with the vampires. Maybe it's just a need for some fresh air.
"Definitely. Zach shrugged, "Vampires have never paid much attention to the affairs of the soul alien race, and to some extent, we think that the soul alien race is the lower class of this world, and it is not necessary to exist or not. Zack expressed this idea that, when Crowley first appeared, Zach described the division of species that had an impact on the world -- humans at the top, and geismas at the bottom.
Zach continued, "But soul aliens exist, so over the centuries of life, I have some opinions about soul aliens other than that I just restrain them. It was a racially proud remark, "Maybe it can help you?"
Sloan glanced at Zack, then rolled his eyes thinking he wouldn't be discovered, "Do you know the process of transforming from Earthbound to other soul aliens? ”
It's a tentative question to determine if Zach has the knowledge base to continue the conversation. After all, vampires who have been deprived of any possibility of achievement in their souls by the Holy Lord are different from terrestrial and aquatic species, two different races that have embarked on completely different paths, and it is not enough to know a little more.
As a result, this tentative question seduced Ryan.
Sloan glanced at Ryan, "Is this the son of Sbella?" Glancing at Zach again, "What is this guy doing?" ”
Zach looked at Ryan with some helplessness, "This guy's soul-attracting grass broke once before, and this guy tried to become something other than the Earth Bound Spirit, but we stopped him. Shaking his head, "He just doesn't give up, don't worry about him." So Sloan answers your question, I know. Zach raised an eyebrow, not wanting to say it too rigidly, "Maybe not accurate, but overall, I still know." ”
"Then you know the 'world'. Sloan didn't care about Ryan anymore and continued.
"Know that the boundaries of the world, once the Bound Spirits cross the boundary, out of the reality to which they are attached, the form of life will change. Zach replied.
Sloan had no comment. "Vampires are still creatures of the Holy Lord's faith, and you should be aware of the so-called soul judgment. ”
Zach smiled, "Entrusting the 'results' of faith to determine the form of life in the future." Using faith as the criterion for judging, the boundaries of the world are opened in the direction of the decision given by faith, and the necromancy becomes a necromancy. Travel to heaven or hell. ”
"Hmph. What happens if there is no 'commission' to the faith. "Sloan is still in Kauzak knowledge.
"Anything is possible. Zach replied, "It is possible to spend it in place until the shackles that maintain the soul imprint decay and disappear, or the shipwrecks rush out in a certain direction of the border, or the new life or the shackles rot and disappear completely." As he said this, Zach looked at Ryan, reminding him to be honest with the groundbound spirit who hadn't given up yet.
Sloan glanced at Zach, "What do you know about the strap?" ”
"When alive, the band connects the soul imprint to the body, and is likened to the umbilical cord of the soul. When the body dies and is no longer able to accommodate the soul, the sash will randomly attach to something in reality to buy time for the soul to exist. Whether it can delay the soul to start a new life, or just delay the death of the soul, depends on the character. "Zach doesn't mind being tested, Lip has helped Grande after all, if he can help Sloan get Lip back. Zach is willing to be tested, "That's why it's called Earthbinder." ”
"How the strap chooses what it attaches to. ”
"I thought I said random. Zach glanced at Sloan. It means, 'I don't know. ’
Sloane nodded, it seemed that this was the limit of vampire knowledge, and the preaching began, "The body of death is still preferred." Because the soul imprint is brought about by the life course of people, the life course experienced together, and the body stores memories. The soul stores the imprint, which is the definition of a person, an individual existence. Even if the body dies, it is still the most compatible thing with the soul imprint. ”
Zach nodded, not too much knowledge. Although it really didn't work much for Zach.
"And then there's the place where the big life course takes place. Sloane slured his saliva, a mocking expression on his face, "That's why some Earthbound Spirits are bound to the Land of Death. The irony is that death is the most important part of these people's lives, can it be accepted," and then there are the most familiar occasions in the course of life, because most of the experiences in the soul imprint take place in these occasions. ”
Sloan doesn't need to continue teaching, Zach already understands, "So the straps will choose the object of attachment according to the importance of the soul mark to the soul and the fit of the soul mark to real things, do you mean that?" ”
"Yes. Sloan snorted, "Not randomly. ”
Zach tilted his head, "Well, I apologize for my misperception." ”
"What happens when you become a new life form, the original shackle that binds the spirits. ”
"Detachment. "Zach knows how to learn from experience," I guess. The soul imprint of the newly born soul alien race has changed, at least it is no longer the definition of the individual existence before life, but the definition of a new life. (The explanation for the alteration of the soul imprint occurs when Constantine explains Zack's study of his 'born demons.') Stuffing a high-level demon's soul mark into another soul will create a new high-level demon. XII,12)
With Sloane's look of surprise on his face, Zach continued, "The Band's mission to delay time for the Groundbinders has been accomplished, and it's time to start a new mission in the service of the newborn life. Therefore, it is not a detachment from the attachment to reality, or it is a corruption that is directly abandoned. ”
"Lip. The main topic came suddenly, Sloan didn't comment on Zach's words, it should be a tacit, "Lip's suicide is a scheduled event for him, and for a guy like him who shuttles through the timeline, it is not a 'major life course' at all." He waved his hand and put down the empty glass, "I went to Green's villa as soon as I got back to Barton, and I made sure that there was no trace of his strap. ”
Zach nodded, and Sloan continued.
"For most of Lip's life, he lived in a nursing home......
"Fire. Zach glanced at Sloan, and Zach, who had already grasped the direction of the conversation, could finish the other party's words, "There should be nothing that Lip was familiar with when he was alive." ”
Sloane nodded, then continued, "So the only place I can find the remnants of Lip's Bandage is where you, Grande, are located. ”
"And here you are. Zach raised an eyebrow, naturally, Zach didn't like the way Sloan came to Grande, "You're still having a problem." ”
"Dream Demons are not like other soul aliens. Sloane's tone began to take on irritation, "Other soul aliens, as long as I can find the belt, I can always track the subject with the belt." ”
"Because the object of tracking is in reality. Zach looked at Sloan, "The so-called finding is just shortening the physical distance, and it is nothing to you." ”
"But the trajectory of the dream demon is not something that can be summed up by the physical distance of reality. Time, geography, the way it is expressed, and even the mood of the owner of the dream can reshape the dream world into unpredictable forms. ”
"This makes it difficult to trace the traces in the dream realm that are already relying on the old life form, or the form of the earth-bound spirit, and clinging to the dead body to buy time to become a dream demon. ”
"Worst of all, Lip is consciously reclaiming and letting go of the straps that remain on his body. Sloane's face became irritated, "Now every time I follow the already weak shackles into a dream, all I see are the remnants of the sashes he has discarded, and the broken sashes that have not been extended. There are fewer and fewer shackles I can use, I'm running out of resources, tsk, I'm losing him!"
"So you think he's deliberately dodging something, deliberately making traces, but none of the traces will allow you to track him. ”
"Yes. ”
"I have to ask, I don't know what the dream world is like, and I can't imagine it. Did you see anything that was also tracking Lip while you'd be tracking?"
"You can't judge things in dreams by the standards of reality, and even if I see someone, I don't know if it's the person in the dream or an intruder like me. ”
"Then how do you judge Lip......" As soon as he spoke, Zach reacted and asked a stupid question - the end of the strap, it was Lip. But the problem now is that the straps that extend from the corpse in Grande's basement are not only being consciously reduced by Lip, but even if Sloan follows up on the dream, the abandoned shackles won't lead Sloan to find anything.
Zach waved his hand, "Okay, I know all about the situation." I thought I could help. ”
"Hmph, you ......"
Zach interrupted Sloan, "To be precise, it's not that I can help, I just know some way, a way to regenerate the leash, at least so that you don't have to worry about the shackle resources on Lip's body running out, so that you can completely lose Lip's movements." ”
The way to bring the shackles back to life - Benjamin's spices. In addition to the essence of allowing Alpha to begin to develop and grow twice, in the dead soul of the werewolf, the shackle begins to be reborn.
"But if you're guessing to be true, there's something that's also tracking Lip and forcing him to dodge. Zach frowned, "We may need to turn to another person, a scholar of soul imprint research. ”
Konstantin, if the soul mark of a high-level demon can be stuffed into an ordinary soul to directly advance the soul, then if it is completely replaced, will it be equivalent to changing a body?
"We might have a way to keep Lip safe and avoid the people who were following him altogether. (To be continued.) )
