19 Madison
South Zone, apartment behind the mill.
James knocked on the door three times in front of Madison's apartment, rang the doorbell once, and the rhythm was repeated. This is firmness and perseverance. Qualities needed on pilgrimage routes. You have to let God see the will of mortals, don't you~
Until the people inside the door are driven crazy...... Madison opened the door, "*You!" uh......
James raised an eyebrow, but immediately replied, "You, too." "Pushed open the door that Madison was trying to block, and entered the house.
Early in the morning, James tells Zach that he was helping Madison piece together the manuscript of the book that was torn by the black cat cookie yesterday, so that Madison owes him a favor, right? James lied. He's not helping Madison, he's ......
In Madison's apartment, the walls and floors were plastered with manuscripts. It must be the reason why Madison's eyes are red now. As soon as James entered the house, he began to tear it up.
Zach and Louise's discussion of what the Lord's way of preaching to humans and aliens should change, tear out.
Hamilton confesses to Zach that he doesn't feel any sense of accomplishment at Barton, and is tricked into investigating Gina's 'disappearance' and tearing it up.
Zach is crushed by Ruter Lesenbra on the phone, revealing that Zach is an orphan without a dad, and tearing it up.
......
Madison just watched James tear and didn't stop it.
Let's talk about Madison's new image. James said to Zach that he was bald? yes, but it wasn't enough to show Madison's true state --
Often, when we want to describe a person's skin as being so good that it's unbelievable, we'll say, 'That guy doesn't even have pores!'
Put that sentence on Madison, and that's right.
Now Madison has no pores, he is now a real ceramic man, smooth enough to make one wonder if Madison is a real man.
At this time, the non-real Madison stared at James's movements, watching the results of his night return to the shattered confetti.
What can Madison do? Go up and beat James. I'm sorry, but Madison can't beat this former soldier, current police detective.
James grabbed another handful of manuscripts taped to the wall and glanced at them before tearing them up, "Ian proposed himself to be Zach's messenger?"
Madison spoke, "yes, it's cool. "If you can't do it, you can only find some sense of accomplishment in words," it happens right under your nose, and you don't even notice it. ”
James glanced at Madison, the manuscript in his hand crumpled into a ball, then twisted and ripped open from the middle. Show off his bulging shoulder muscles at the same time, "What am I doing?"
Madison actually pointed to the wall in the other direction, "Zach just told you how to stop the murder of an alien family with human children in Vega City, and you called Vega Police Department in your office. ”
James walked over to the wall that Madison was pointing to, raised his hand and ripped off a patchwork of manuscript paper, and glanced at it, "One sentence? You brought what I was doing with one sentence? I persuaded Vega Police Department to arrange for social services to evacuate the human children, and you brought it with me with just one sentence......?" The child is sad that he is not getting attention......
"You convinced?" Maddison gave a contemptuous smile, "you're just repeating what Zach persuaded you, I don't have to write it all over again." Readers are looking at vampire fathers and sons with twisted relationships, not you, a human repeater. "Tsk, Madison is a bit of a.
James is a – "Reader?"
Madison stopped talking and watched as James continued to tear.
This process went on for ...... Slightly longer. Until the ground is covered with fine scraps of paper again. James moved his mechanical arm, "Almost, enough for you to keep you busy for another day." The reason James did this kind of detrimental behavior to himself—"You know you can stop torturing yourself, and let's go to Ms. West." ”
Madison ignored James, crouched on the ground, grabbed a handful of crooked, sloppy confetti, and looked at it without knowing what he was thinking. Sadness? doesn't seem to ......
James kicked the manuscript corpse on the ground at random, cleared a path to the couch, sat down, and very 'consciously' poured himself water and took a sip, "I have a problem. How do you know what's going on in Grande? You don't go to Grande at all now, how do you replicate Zach's ...... to someone else? What did anyone say or do?"
Madison was silent.
"How do you know about Ian and Zack's conversation, isn't that a secret that only the two of them know? "This is to remind Madison to answer well, don't use the nonsense of relying on demons to get 'information' to fool people.
James continued, "And don't say you're going to 'interview' everyone you come into contact with Zach. You 'interviewed' Ian next to Papa Midnight?hh, you 'interviewed' Frank Gilberg?" James tilted his head and looked at Madison, "What's your secret?"
Madison replied, "My ability to experience the future, is getting stronger and stronger." Putting down the manuscript corpse in his hand, he sat down across from James, poured a glass of water, took a sip and held it in his hand, "I can go to Grande at any time to find Zack, and then before I go, I can experience everything I saw in Grande." Sometimes, it's boring and Zach sits on the back porch in a daze, sometimes. Raising his chin to gesture to the corpse on the ground, "Watch this happen in the front row." ”
James's finger tapped at the glass and looked at Madison, "And then you're going to get rid of your front row seat and write things down?"
Madison sipped his saliva again, "Yay." ”
James raised an eyebrow, "Didn't you have any effect on things by being there?"
Maddison shrugged, "Normally, when I play the role of a disgruntled employee, Zach will ignore me, and I don't have a presence. Madison pointed to his bare head, "And then, even if he didn't ignore me, it would have been clear if it had an effect." "Oh, it's really convenient," if there are changes in the future, I just don't write about it, and then 'go' to Grande, it's so simple. ”
James stared at Madison's head, which could almost make his own face, "So what are you going to do now? You seem to have lost the tool of your judgment." ”
Madison lifted his glass again, took a sip, and didn't look at James, "If I say ......" his gaze drifted unfocused, "You're actually still ringing the doorbell and knocking on the door outside, and I didn't open the door at all, can you believe it?" ”
"Hehe, you said you're experiencing the future right now?" James adjusted his body, his expression of mockery not fully displayed. James gestured to the corpses of the manuscripts all over the floor, "None of this happened?"
"Uh-huh. Do you believe it?"
"Nope. James adjusted his body again, "Proof it." ”
"Good. Madison snapped his fingers.
South Zone, apartment behind the mill.
James knocked on the door three times in front of Madison's apartment, rang the doorbell once, and the rhythm was repeated. This is firmness and perseverance. Qualities needed on pilgrimage routes. You have to let God see the will of mortals, don't you~
Madison stood behind the door, looking at James outside the door through the cat's eyes, shook his head sympathetically, turned to look at the manuscripts all over the wall, and pursed his lips to think about something.
Let Madison think about it, and we can describe the problem of Madison's image.
Early in the morning, James had already told Zach Madison that he was bald. I won't repeat this. Except for the bald head, Madison's skin condition is called a good! smooth as ceramic, almost no pores!
But it's also a pity that such a perfect skin condition is not a reflection of Madison's healthy quality of life—his eyes are red, and he has apparently just survived an all-nighter to finish the patchwork paper that is now full of papers in his apartment.
Madison seemed to have finished thinking about it. With his feet on his feet, he walked to the inside of the apartment. Not so much to avoid making a noise and being heard by James outside. Oh, James knew very well that Madison was at home. The mill staff had already told James about it.
Madison just didn't want to trample on the fruits of his overnight labor.
Madison moved to the bathroom, closing his eyes and taking a deep breath as the mirror appeared on the sink and the mirror appeared on the edge of his vision. According to the habitual memory, press your hands to the sink, and pestle your eyes in front of the mirror with your eyes closed.
"Three, two, one. Madison counted himself and opened his eyes.
There is a rainbow ~ in the mirror ~ from Madison's left ear, over Madison's smooth skull, and stops in Madison's right ear ~ beautiful ~ The corners of Madison's eyes twitched.
Taking a deep breath, he pulled a towel and wrapped it around his head. Look in the mirror again.
The rainbow was replaced by a stool-shaped towel, which was not beautiful.
But that's the reality that Maddison needs to accept.
Madison exited the bathroom, but still didn't go to the door to open the door for the persistent James. James had to wait.
Madison entered the study, and there was an unfinished manuscript on the desk...... No, it's not a manuscript, it's more like a memo.
*
What's missing: Mayor Vega's secretary Lily is murdered, defeated. Mayor Rout of Vega suddenly decides to do justice to his secretary Lily and presses Vega Police to re-investigate the case. Vega's human interracial couple is murdered. The start of the XXXXVII and XXXXVIII time labels.
*
This is the answer to the mystery. The manuscript that was taken away by the Black Cat Cookie wasn't too old, and Madison's overnight work had already done his job to lock down the source of the drastic changes in the future.
Madison folded up his memo and put it in a drawer. Then I went out of the study and thought back to the door.
James's rhythmic knocking and doorbell continued.
Madison opened the door, "*You!"
"Also * you. James picked no, and after replying, he pushed Madison out of the way, entered Madison's apartment, glanced at the room full of manuscripts, and walked to the nearest manuscript without surprise......
Madison didn't hesitate to do anything to the former soldier, now police detective, and just as James's malicious hands were about to tear open the first manuscript he touched, "You're late, I've already found the cookie and stole those pages." ”
James's movements froze in mid-air, and he glanced back at Madison, "You found it?"
"Yes. Madison looked calm, and the foul mouth that opened the door had basically vented all his emotions, so he could face it rationally now, "I didn't take too long to deal with these two volumes. ”
James frowned and glanced around the room full of manuscripts, "The black cat tore more than two volumes of manuscripts. ”
"It's just having fun. Madison replied calmly, "It's just a spoiled cat after all, what do you think?" Madison approached James and took the manuscript back from James' hand and pasted it back to the wall, "You can stop destroying the fruits of my labor." ”
James's face was a little gloomy, "So you don't need to go to Ms. West to get your manuscript back?"
"I could rewrite it. No big deal. Madison stood in the doorway, and the meaning was obvious—"You can go, detective." ”
James stood there for a moment, then suddenly approached Madison, threatening, "Madison, you should understand, I've been kind enough to ask you for help, and if you continue to be so uncooperative, I'm going to use something you won't like, not very friendly!"
Madison gestured back and looked at James with a frown, "Detective!" to emphasize James's identity, "Are you sure this is the attitude you should use towards a law-abiding citizen?" ”
"I'm sure!" James approached again, "you're the only one who can communicate well with Ms. West!
That's a bit ...... Common sense.
How do you define the relationship between James and Ms. West?
No relationship is definition. And strictly speaking, these two people don't know each other at all in reality.
Also, in a way, James didn't have a reason to like Ms. West. Remember, because this Ms. West caused Wales, who was once a civil servant, to 'die', causing Wales to become the demon contract trader of the fallen angel Jessica, and later, James and Corson were almost killed by a group of demonic trade humans!
The problem James has now is that he needs Ms. West to solve Vega's social crisis. So how is James going to get Ms. West to help? Went straight to Ms. West's door, waved his badge and said, 'Civilians!'
??
So James was right, coming to Madison was James's friendly approach. Whether Vega's social crisis can be resolved safely without causing the destruction of the world requires the cooperation of Ms. West's only friend, Madison.
Which pilgrim went on the pilgrimage empty-handed? Madison was James' sacrifice.
"You have a choice. Madison stared at James, "You can leave Vega alone! Don't touch West! And trust me, you'll wish you didn't touch West! That's out of our control...... exists!"
"Regardless?" said James, who was about to slam Madison against the wall, "to allow Vega's aliens and humans to be murdered??" do you think such a thing can be ignored?"
"Yes!" Madison ...... It's direct, "That's Vega's business!
Belch.
