At three o'clock, Grande set off.

Since the back of the truck was buried in the backyard, this style of the Grande brothers' beloved and contemporary truck could only be temporarily stored in the warehouse for rest. The car to the church was chosen by the 'General' who acted as the driver, an old jeep, with the cloth trunk removed from the rear of the car, barely squeezing out all the members of Grande, except for old Hank.

It's just that Matthew and Benjamin, the two guys in the space, have to give up their hairstyles because they stand on the dismantled trunk the whole time to accompany the Great Dane to blow the wind, and the 'General' driving style is ...... Well, as heroic as a general.

Zach is naturally in the co-pilot, comfortably wearing a seat belt, always keeping an eye on the 'general' who is completely exposed to the sun. When he felt the inside of the General's skin begin to turn red, he would uselessly remind, "Breathe, General, breathe ......"

In the back seat sat three women, Louise had grown up in a correctional college (as I had previously written, she had a good relationship with the nuns of the Church of the Child), explaining to Mo what the church meant to the Commonwealth.

"Ancestral Hall. This is Mo's reply, "Except for the part of the faith of the Holy Lord, it seems to be similar to the ancestral hall of the republic, where celebrations and funerals will come to pray or mourn." ”

"Ever?" Alice asked curiously.

"Not anymore. Mo waved his hand, "was broken by the republicans." When the aliens of your federation come to the republic, they may think that the republic is a place of empty faith, and they will fight for it. But it's not, it's already blocked. ”

"Faith will be 'choked'?" Louise was not much of a believer in the Holy Lord, but she was not much of an exclusive, chatting with the nuns and occasionally quoting scriptures to express kindness. Faith was probably the same to her as anything that was harmless with or without, and like most young adults in the Federation, it didn't matter if she went to faith when she was old and had nothing to do.

So probably, this kind of cognition made her not quite understand Mo's expression.

"How?" Mo thought for a moment. I tried to answer, "They believe in themselves, and their faith is still there, but the object is themselves." They no longer trust anything other than manpower, nor do they hope that the regrets of this life will have another chance after the end, they believe in themselves and believe in the life they have now. ”

Zach looked back, and even when Mo always spoke of the republic, he was impatient. But he didn't disagree, so at this time, he looked at the ink, "You said that all things in the republic are born, in people and things. Out of thin air, they no longer believe in anything other than life. So don't put anything other than life on it. You call the republic the death of an alien race because there is no reason for its birth. ”

Mo looked at Zack, surprised, surprised that he actually understood, and then smiled. Nod.

Zach also smiled and turned his head, "Republican people, this is a good outlook on life, believe in yourself." Ink. The place you came from is a nice piece of land. ”

Ink didn't respond.

Excuse me, would Zach think that the Federation, which is popular with cremation hated by all aliens, is a good piece of land? Is there any difference between the change in the situation of the Republican 'aliens' and what the Federation is experiencing at this time?

The backseat conversation, interrupted by Zack, fell into a brief embarrassment because of Mo's silence, but fortunately, this embarrassment did not last, and they arrived after Benjamin's rare well-groomed hairstyle was completely abolished.

In front of the Church of the Holy Child, cars were already parked, and the front porch greeted the procession of bridesmaids and groomsmen. But the number is a bit disparity, the first of the best men is the energetic Eric, behind him there are Wes in formal clothes and Jason who is a little away from Wes, as well as some young people that Zach doesn't know, who should be the 'brothers' of the orphanage.

On the bridesmaids' side, there was only one bewitching Riley, who was a little lonely.

"Zach!" Eric waved his hand, "You're all here!" he looked very happy to see Grande's 'whole family', even the Great Dane coming, "What about Old Hank?" As for the driver 'General' and Ink who got out of the car with Louise, they were ignored. Grande didn't know how much extra money he had provided for the little farmer, and he could bring as many people as he wanted!

"He doesn't like to be noisy. Zach motioned for the 'General' to bring the gift, smiled and walked to the front porch, lowering his voice slightly, "Grande still needs to deal with Mr. Donna's affairs personally. "It's not good to say funeral at a wedding. But after all, these people are old people, Zach still mentioned it.

Eric and the young people behind him were silent for a moment, but soon waved away, and Eric greeted Zack, "Let's go in, the ceremony starts at four o'clock, and there are snacks prepared inside." After the ceremony, there was also a dinner party. ”

As Zach handed over the invitation, he motioned for the 'General' to give Grande's gift. The case wrapped in printed paper sank as it reached Eric's hand, and a slight metal bottle crashed into each other, "What is this?" Eric asked with a smile, and he had always had an easy time with Grande, so he asked.

This is understandable, after all, Grande hired these farmers for funeral work, and they are still very lifeless, and Grande's owner will naturally find a way to make it easier to get along during working hours, and he has developed the casualness of these farmers who often come to Grande to do extra money. Of course, Zach didn't mind, and it was casual and well-intentioned at a time when most Southerners thought Grande had something to do with Barton's power figures.

"Wine. Zach moved closer to Eric, raised an eyebrow, and said in a deliberately painful tone.

"Hah! you're willing to take so much out of your collection!" "Well, these farmers eat at Grande, and Eric certainly knows how stingy Zach is with his wine collection!"

"Hehehe. Zach retracted his deliberate expression, "I don't have anything else to give as a gift, these are Grande's sincerity, and Cliff should like it." ”

I don't know where to go, Jason rushed over, snatched the heavy box, and glanced at Zack with a look that only Zach could understand, "Eric, I'll put it in the back, you continue to greet the guests......"

"Oh. Eric didn't stop it, and when he let go, his eyes exchanged with the 'brothers' around him, which was a little weird, probably Jason's presence didn't make them very comfortable.

It may be that Jason grabbed it too quickly and was not ready to take over the heavy gift. The movements swayed, lost their balance, and exchanged glances with the 'brothers', and there was no one to help.

"Be careful!" Wes, the dressed Southern Side cop, grabbed the gift and pulled up Jason, who had balanced things. "Can you be reliable!" and then gave Zack a quick look, turned and walked back with the box. Jason followed with a gloomy face.

"Uh...... Zach, please come in......" Eric quickly resumed his welcoming posture and looked behind him, the new guest.

Zach kept smiling the whole time, nodded slightly, glanced at the people of Grande behind him, helped Alice's shoulders, and stepped onto the front porch. In front of the main entrance. and the bridesmaids' greeter, the enchantress Riley, did not have any superfluous or suspicious actions, just nodded faintly, took the seat card, and entered the church.

When the people behind Zack were looking around at the church where there were already many people of all kinds, Zack lowered his head and opened the seat card, raised his eyebrows slightly, and sure enough. Cliff placed Grande in the back row of the church......

Zach kept a smile on his face and looked at their seats. See who's around?

Surrounded by Sibella, who could not see the light or shadow of others. Some of Barton's soul aliens came with the Tempest, from Vendall greeting with a tentacle in the shadows of the corner, to Ryan floating on the ceiling looking down with the impatience peculiar to teenagers, and ......

And Walter, who got together with Maggie and didn't know what funny joke he was talking about, showed half of his front teeth when he saw Zach. It's kind of a greeting.

And Emilia Browning, who only frowns and keeps looking at her watch, avoiding any contact with anyone around her.

There was also Merman, a mermaid who was idly doing something and was looking at some ugly woman beside her in a daze.

There is also Morelline, who is impeccably dressed and quietly holding a newspaper and reading quietly, and Ai Li, who is sitting next to him and is uncomfortable. And, of course, there's Rita, who was already on amazing heels, shaking things on her chest, rushing in front of Grande and spreading her arms, "You're coming!

And also......

The back row of seats in this church was occupied by Patton's aliens, or, alien associates (Emilia).

While Rita, a woman with a unique and fierce charm, forcibly embraces each of Grande's creatures, we may be able to see where the bride and groom are, at the back of the auditorium.

The three men in the hallway, after saluting the nuns passing by, quickly walked to a closed room, and the fat man at the front, the groom Cliff, knocked on the door, "Linda (bride)?

"In. As if he was sticking to the door, he replied, "Is there something?" ”

"Yes. Cliff frowned, and looked back at Wes and Jason behind him, Wes, who was still holding Grande's gift, had been opened, apparently they had seen the metal wine bottle stuffed inside, "Can you open the door?" ”

"It wasn't good luck that we couldn't meet before the ceremony. Linda calmly said the customs of the Federation on the other side of the door.

Cliff was silent for a while, this pair of newcomers should know that this is nonsense...... But he didn't force it, and pursed his lips, "Grande has given a gift." "Then say it through the door," it's vampire blood, a box. There was a frown at this point.

"Then he really blesses us. Linda, the bride behind the door, said in a calm tone, "You said that he wants you to live well, a box? ”

There was a movement behind the door, not from the bride, because there was clearly the gasp of a man who had accidentally knocked over something and was rushing to remedy.

"Who's in there?!" Cliff's face was surprised, "Linda, is someone in there?!!"

After a brief, awkward silence, the door opened.

James looked gloomily at Fat Cliff, who was almost standing against the door, "It's me." ”

"Lan, Lance Detective......" Cliff looked at James in front of him with a puzzled expression, "what are you doing in Linda's room......"

"My only friend in Barton's hometown (western) is marrying you, can't I come and stay with her? James asked gloomily.

Cliff pursed his lips, not knowing what to think, flinching under James's gaze, shook his head, turned his back, leaned against the wall of the hallway, and continued to maintain the boring custom of not meeting before the ceremony, "I don't want vampire things. ”

It should be obvious that there is no evasion in the dialogue here, who they are talking about and what they are going to say, they know by heart.

As for how they did this, they knew it - Jason, it was Zach who told him about the relationship between James and Linda, just James himself said, plus he had taken Cliff to the police station before, apparently exchanged something. The last Wes, who is the 'brother' of the orphanage and Jason, is a close comrade-in-arms with James, so I don't know which side said it.

James looked at Wes, his gaze falling on the box he was holding, "This is?"

Wes nodded, actually glanced at Jason, and added, also emphasized, "A lot." ”

James opened the box and saw the full metal jug stuffed inside, all of which Zach carried with him when he was out and about. He was very familiar with James.

The familiarity only made the detective's face worse, and he closed the lid and looked at Jason, "You don't need to be here. "It's a drive.

"I'm going to see what you do with these things. Jason didn't back down, "I know what this blood can do!" "What Fight Club is for, that's the answer." After Zach deliberately used 'General' to warn Jason, the young man clearly had a concern beyond his ability, "I ......"

Wes frowned and glanced at Jason, Zach was taking him and Jason to see the 'General', so he understood, "Cliff, what are you going to do with it, these things can't flow out to ordinary people." ”

"Of course I know I can't!" Cliff clenched his fists in annoyance, "Grande's guy is sick!

So, this is the meaning that the gift is too good, but people don't want it. It seems so.

"Then send it out. Linda's voice in the room was still calm, "Since there are so many, this Toledo shouldn't be just a wedding gift for us." We, well, take one bottle, and the rest, as a souvenir, and give it to your guests. ”

"Barton's aliens?" James looked back and questioned somewhere in the room, "You're going to give this to those Patton's aliens?" and began to get excited, "who knows what those aliens will do with this blood......

James was interrupted.

He was interrupted by a woman who had been living in the Church of the Holy Child and hadn't appeared for a long time, "Let's deal with it like this." ”

Standing at the end of the corridor, Taylor, a woman with a military background and also from the West, who was a summer instructor at Kyle's religious college, crossed her arms, nodded to Father Constantine as he passed by, and then continued to look at James, "Zach is a smart guy, he must have a premonition of what will happen to Barton, and this is the only thing he can do for those aliens." ”

Since it is a hunch, it is impossible to determine whether it is a fact or not.

Ignoring James's habitually gloomy face, it was not his turn to decide. The person who decided was Cliff. Cliff looked at Wes and Jason and sighed, "That's it, you have the list of aliens, put these in their gift bags." (To be continued.) )
