Human life is very complicated, and I have no intention of discussing philosophy with you, statistics of pure facts - a thousand rabbits can all live as one, and a thousand rabbits eat, sleep, and dry in the same way. But a thousand people can live a thousand ways to eat and sleep......

Therefore, any alien race who experiences the world with a human way of life is worthy of respect. For various reasons, they put aside that simple life to challenge this difficult ...... Adventures? Adventures without a final reward?

Well, I mean, humans themselves don't know what it means to live like they are, to live as a human being...... Instead of looking for the meaning of their own lives, aliens come to help human beings find the meaning of human life?

Never mind. Philosophy is not discussed.

Let's take this topic as a warm-up, because now we want to focus on a different race that literally chooses its own life combination from thousands of human lifestyles to be able to live in Newton as a human being-

Phantom Richie.

Rich sat down in his office chair and took out his pen and paper, ready to record his new client's commission......

I wish I wasn't left-handed. ’

I don't know where to float ** was received by Richie. Richie's movement of holding the pen paused, and the pen in his left hand changed to his right hand.

'Why doesn't the printing press print these bars a little more at intervals?'

Richie pulled a vertical curve across three horizontal grids directly on his notebook, closed the notebook, and grabbed a blank piece of paper without horizontal grids.

It's a waste, the flower characters that I practiced hard when I was a child are now not appreciated at all. ’

Richie wrote down a line of words that he didn't recognize.

The former Newton Lord twitched his eyes and looked up, "Stop." "Before you go on with your commission, can I ask who recommended you?"

"I, the priest of my parish. ”

Richie frowned, the angel would actually help him introduce business? It seems that the angel Crowley really wants Newton to recover.

"You understand the work I'm doing here, it doesn't have to be ......" Richie's face was a little tense, he wasn't deliberately scaring his customers, he was just trying his best to resist the customer's radiation**-

Yes, even though this client came here to make a commission, there is now only a flowery sentence that no one recognizes on a blank piece of paper. But Richie, already knowing what the other side wants, "legally." ”

"I'm counting on you to be illegal here!!" the customer was a little excited. The picture of a middle-aged man getting excited is full of ugliness, so I won't describe the details. The general feeling may be that the rabbit who wants to do it can't find a partner...... Despair.

Rich didn't want to be in the same room with this client, "Well, you sign the contract first." Rich pulled out the papers in the drawer, "Standard contract, pay 30% of the deposit first, and pay the rest later." ”

"But you haven't heard me say what I want to do......"

"Your car is full of old mud, and Newton, though it's pretty dilapidated now, isn't the streets full of dirt, so you're from the suburbs. "Richie is reasoning? no, just saying what he already knows, "You have the smell of house cleaners, the cheap kind, so you need a lot of cleaning for your job." Richie had already gotten up from behind his desk, "Unless there's some new housekeeping company on the outskirts of Newton, you're the owner of the Barton Junction Motel where several bodies were found the other day." ”

Richie was walking away, "You're counting on my work to be illegal, plus the only opening you just had to commission (the fancy word that no one knows) is 'I used to buy something I shouldn't have bought'. "So I'm guessing your commission is to get the stuff absolutely relevant to the current number of anomalous deaths in Newton away from you when the police are already eyeing your hotel." ”

A middle-aged man with a dark face.

"Sign the contract. Richie said one last sentence and closed the door with his backhand.

With a sigh of relief, Richie turned into a colored light and rushed straight to the waiting room.

Zach is tasting Ritchie's décor – a little ...... It's confusing.

At least Grande doesn't have a special waiting room, only a reception room, which is not used very often, and is usually only used to accommodate relatives who still need to adjust their emotions.

The waiting room of this fantasy office......

There are bookshelves, newspapers and periodicals are up-to-date, which can pass the time for people waiting, and clinics and consultation places also have these, which is reasonable. But what is unreasonable is that there is also a long story on it. Is it going to be completed for repeat customers next time?

There are game consoles. There are similar things in the waiting area of some leisure facilities, dart machines, pinball tables, etc., which is reasonable. It is not reasonable that there are also gambling machines, fighting game machines, competitive games...... There is also an automatic exchange machine for in-game currency.

There is a TV. Everyone should have had a similar experience, after not paying attention to current affairs for a while, occasionally seeing the news reporting current affairs in the waiting area of a certain facility, only to be surprised, oh my God, when will he become president?

Yes......

Zach was hugged by Richie.

"What are you doing? Zach looked expressionlessly at the phantom who was breathing close to his chest, "Do you want to kill yourself?" Richie was smoking, a soul alien should never be so 'close' to a vampire.

"Suicide and fulfilling the client's wish before signing the contract......" Richie's strength in holding Zach became weaker and weaker, and in the end, he successfully disintegrated himself into a cloud of colored spray, and his voice was relaxed, "Cool~" After finishing his words, "I have to choose one." ”

Zach glanced in the direction of the office, less curious about what was going on.

There are curious guys. Yuehua was already playing gambling machines very well, and it didn't affect her to speak, "New customer, hehe, he must be very desperate to make you look like this~ What kind of commission is it~ Let's hear it~"

The colored spray re-condenses, and Richie's human form is revealed again. This time it seems to be much more normal, at least I know to keep my distance from Zach. However, it's still Zach who is watching, "Since you're here at Barton, hehe, there's a chance~" It's a sale, looking at Yuehua, "Is your work done?"

"Of course~" Yuehua kept stuffing coins into the gambling machine, "Let's settle the salary~" smiled at Zack, "Housewives have to have some fun occasionally~"

Zach was still hesitant to wonder what the two were talking about.

"On the bookkeeping, you wait a while, I'll go and talk to the construction team, ha, the commission is successfully over. Smile at Zack, "Take the money first." "Gone.

Zach pouted, the waiting room was too humane to offer a variety of ways to pass the time. But Zach, not interested.

Leaning next to the gambling machine, watching Yuehuaman have fewer and fewer coins in his wallet, "The reason why you are at the police station?"

"Yes~" Yuehua, the hand that clenched her fist was put in front of Zack's mouth.

Zach cooperated, blowing into Yuehua's fist.

Yuehua pulled the lever and stared at the constantly rotating ......, "You saw the Newton University construction site before, a body was found inside, and then the entire project was shelved because of the police investigation, and the construction team commissioned Richie." ”

"So you're an eyewitness?" Finally, the reason for meeting Yuehua outside the police station is explained here.

"Strictly speaking~" Yuehua's eyes widened wider and wider-because of the exhalation from the vampire for four centuries, it was really against the sky, and on the mechanical wheel of the gambling machine, '7', was being connected in a row, "I am an eyewitness, I went to see the body, the death site is not a construction site, someone deliberately moved the body to Newton University......" Yuehua's eyes opened to the limit, and stared at Zack solidly, "I won??I finally won!"

Hula-la-la.

Yuehua's feet were flooded with coins gushing out.

Zach looked at the coins on the ground, then at Yuehua, and pouted, "Is anyone deliberately sabotaging the construction progress of Newton University?"

Yuehua was still basking in the shock that she had won.

Zach shook his head, "That's how the Newton Police Department believes the testimony of a housewife?" Zach wanted to express whether Richie was too anxious to pay for the commission, and waited for the police to open the ban on the construction site themselves.

Yuehua moved, slowly pulled her foot out of the pile of coins, took a step back, and squatted, "I've never won." "I'm immersed in my own little world.

Zach pursed his lips and said something that instantly entered his mind, "The world is fair, you can already see death, gambling is ......" Zach was halfway through his speech and shut up, because this would affect Zach himself-

Yuehua had already raised her head and squinted at Zack, "The lucky breath of the immortal vampire is actually cashed in this kind of place that is meaningless to the vampire~~"

Zach waved his hand and forcibly saved his respect, "So many coins, it doesn't mean anything to anyone." Or trouble, how are you going to hold these coins?"

"I'll just go back to the basics~" Yuehua grabbed a handful on the ground and stuffed it back into his wallet, "Let Richie clean it up by himself." Yuehua smiled, "But don't doubt the effect of my testimony on the Newton Police Department......"

The Black Witch and vampire in the waiting room were silent for a moment, sitting down on the couch and waiting.

The man in the office came out, "Mr. Ritchie, Mr. Ritchie, I've signed the contract??Are you still there??"

The door to the waiting room was pushed open, "Is Mr. Richie there......"

"No. Zach replied, fully playing the role of a waiting prospect, impatiently "just out." ”

Expectedly, a middle-aged man should consciously leave and go back to the office to wait for Richie. But.

"Zach, Zachary Grande?"

While Yuehua raised his hand to take a long book from the newspaper shelf, Zach frowned and looked at the middle-aged man at the door of the waiting room, "You know me?"

"You...... You ......" the middle-aged man, surprised and confused, "You, you don't look ...... at all"

Yuehua turned the page in his hand.

Zach is calm enough, the other party's name is Zachary Grande, this name, no matter where this person met Zack, the time span will not exceed the time that Zach used this identity. It has long been told that it is common knowledge that men have little change in appearance at a certain age.

Zach perfectly executed the state of being recognized in an awkward place, and Zach remained frowning, "What can I become." Tsk, who are you? Do I know you?"

The middle-aged man was visibly stunned, "Hug, I'm sorry...... I, I'm ......" The man actually began to take off his shirt, and handed it to Zach with his coat under Zack's 'repulsive' eyes, "You shouldn't remember me either...... Well, we really haven't officially met. The middle-aged man looked at Zach and showed a friendly look and gestured to Zack's tattered shirt. The next sentence is the point, "I used to work with Hank and your father (old Grande, who died a long time ago), and I used to ...... is an employee of the Grand Grande. ”

Yuehua turned another page.

Zach hesitated, but still took the other party's coat, "After Dad and Hank moved to Grande on the South Side, there were no employees. "Received a little rejection, left a rejection, in the literal sense of the sentence.

"Yes, yes. The middle-aged man seemed a little nervous, and it was difficult to parse the psychology of this guy, "After your father and Hank decided to retire and go to the South District to retire, we employees were all sent away. He flipped through his pants pocket, but he didn't find anything, and awkwardly pointed to the jacket that Zach had put on, "I have my business card in my pocket......"

Yuehua turned the page again.

Zach pouted and took out his business card and wallet from the inside pocket of his coat. Hey, give the wallet back to the other party, "Winston Motel?" Zach looked at the man with a thoughtful look of memory, "XX Winston, I remember the name, Winston, Winston......" Zach remembered, "You went to your father's funeral. ”

The middle-aged man, Winston, relaxed a lot, probably happy that Zach actually remembered himself, "yes, I went." That's when I saw your brother (and Benjamin), and I'm glad that your father's Grande has a successor......" said Winston, who had just become happy, and his face darkened again.

There is too little information for Zach to accurately judge the other person's mental process.

Yuehua will only turn the page.

Zach put the business card back in his pocket with his backhand, "Thank you for the coat, I'll return it after I've washed it." "Pat it in the pocket of your business card, meaning, don't think about it, the reason I took your business card, that's all.

At the same time, there is another meaning to this - please don't continue to bother me if it's okay, I don't have to catch up with you, thank you.

Winston was quite self-conscious, worthy of the men who had cleaned up for Barton. But he still said something more, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about your coming here." ”

Zach didn't respond. I just told you that if there is an embarrassing ranking in the place where the two meet, the bathroom and locker room of the opposite sex ...... If it comes first, the waiting room for the commission of illegal affairs must be the second.

Winston exited the waiting room, but he didn't return to the office. It looks like he's done what he wanted to be here and left the office.

Yuehua turned another page.

"You've taken all your books down. Zach reminded speechlessly.

"Reading the story upside down is the Black Witch's specialty~"

Zach couldn't refute it, patting himself at his 'new coat', "Are we waiting for Richie? ”

"Look how curious you are about what this Mr. Winston has commissioned~"

Zach put on a serious thinking look and folded his arms more seriously, "A little curious, let's wait for Richie." ”8)
