5 Return to Grande
When he returned to Grande, Zach was surprised to find Louise sitting behind the counter in the showroom, receiving guests. Fortunately, this is a funeral home, and no one will pay attention to the problem of dim interiors, and people who come here are probably dim in the world.
"Mr. Grande is back. Louise put on her glasses and stiffened herself from behind the counter, "I'm sorry, you can ask the owner of Grande, I'm a little ...... Under the weather. ”
Before Zach could say a word of greeting, Louise had already turned and pushed open the back door that led to the back porch behind the counter......
Zack's heart skipped a beat, "...... exposed"
Louise's face was almost pressed against the sunlight on the back porch, and her body froze. Then he turned around, walked around the counter, and walked to the reception room, barely squeezing out a smile, "At least, let me take you to Master Grande's office." The gaze behind the glasses swept over Zack's face, and he was the first to enter the reception room.
"You go to the backyard and wait. That's what Zach said to Sloane, and after gesturing to the guests, he followed Louise and opened the door to the elevator in the hallway of the reception room.
Amid the sound of the machine, the lifting platform with four people standing was slightly crowded. But Louise, who was the leader of the way, didn't give Zach a chance to ask even a low question, and stared at the back of Zack's head right at the door.
It's just one layer, it's here.
"I asked Alice to prepare the refreshments. Louise led the guest into the office, and without further ado, left through the west door. Listen to the sound and go straight downstairs, it's back to the basement.
Glancing at the two guests who had not spoken, Zach pursed his lips, and could only adjust his mood and start to deal with his own duties.
"Zachary Grande. What do you call Mr. and Mrs.?" motioned for the two to sit down, and Zach sat behind his desk.
"Lang. No Mr. or Mrs., just Mr. and Mrs. Lang. The man replied. The voice is a little hoarse.
"Don't you remember me, Mr. Grande, we've met. The middle-aged woman raised her eyes, sad to no disappointment, it seemed to be just a reminder," Amanda said. You and Miss Louise attended, as well as another Mr. Grande (Benjamin). ”
Zach recalled, remembering the woman.
In fact, there was no conversation at the time, just a bunch of people gathered around to take pictures when Amanda's mother forcibly pulled Zach to join in blowing out candles and making wishes. (Volume VII, 12)
However, this can already say one thing. Don't forget, why Zach was able to attend Amanda's birthday party - celebrating life, the life that Zach saved (Barton's church collapse). Amanda is seriously injured, and Mrs. Quinn gambles, finds Zach, and rescues Amanda).
"Oh, I remember, Mrs. Long, I remember you worked at Fisher Manor, and I remember your son......" Zach just wanted to prove that he did remember the other. casually ease the sad atmosphere of the two," he said, imitating Mr. Fisher during the game. It's just that the imitation is not very similar, so everyone guessed for a long time......"
When the expressions of the opposite couple began to grow sad, Zach automatically silenced himself. Our vampire frowned slowly, for he remembered the same passion that had been given to Lola's chauffeur at that party. Zach was able to sort out the family ties at the party that served the Westsider. At this time, the Lang couple had only one son.
At that time, it was the three of Lang's family who attended a party celebrating their lives, and now, it is a pair of grieving parents sitting in the office of the Grande funeral home.
Zach flipped through his notebook. "I'm sorry. Let's get started. ”
Mr. Lang's lowered head moved, and he raised his hand to hold his wife's hand, probably to comfort, "We want a traditional funeral, it doesn't need to be too big, but we hope that the process is all there, prayers, speeches, farewells, farewell ......" Zach took out a tissue from the drawer and handed it over.
"Thanks, thanks. Well, we don't want to make it too much trouble. He probably meant that he didn't want to bother others, "only some close friends will attend, and the church will ......"
"I see. Zach nodded, although it was not appropriate to describe it like this, but it meant that the church might not be satisfied, "It's nothing, many people want to be more private." I just need to know your schedule. ”
"Just now, Miss Louise helped us choose a custom-made coffin and tombstone, we want to prepare more perfectly, week, Friday......" Mr. Lang felt his wife's hand squeeze him, and the sadness on his face became a little heavier, "Week, Tuesday, next ...... Morning, is that okay?"
Two days later.
"You can do it as you see fit. "The only good thing about the Church of the Son may be that you have time at all times. Zach just thinks that there should be a reason for it three days earlier.
"Law, the forensic doctor said......" Mr. Lang's voice began to choke, "I, my son, but, may not be able to let go too long, too long......"
The corpse couldn't be left for too long.
Even Zach didn't like the next questioning, "On our side, we still need to know about corpses...... Some of your son's condition, if you are going to have a farewell ceremony, basic grooming is needed. I don't know what you're asking for?"
"Drowning. in the Charles River. (Sticking to the north side of the Western End, crossing from the central part of the Union to Martha's Bay)," said Madame Lang suddenly, "and when she found it, she had washed up at the mouth of Martha's harbor. If Zach heard correctly, there was hatred in her tone.
The medical examiner said he had been in the water for three or four days. Mrs. Lang glanced at Zack, immediately looked away, and her voice was lowered, "When we knew, there was no chance to save him!"
Remember, Zach trusted Mrs. Quinn and didn't erase the memory of the servants at Quinn Manor after saving Amanda. And the unusually close family ties in the West End, both the upper and lower classes, that I saw at the party, made Zack aware that some people who were trusted by Quinn, or Quinn's servants, knew that Zack had a miraculous ability to save people.
Therefore, Zach could only give a regretful look at this time, "Please mourn casually, I need an address and a contact number to bring him to Grande for preparation." ”
The business card was taken by Zack, and it was the forensic department of the Western District Police Department.
There may be a little curiosity, whether it was an accident or a man-made, but it is clearly not the question that should be asked of the couple right now.
"Since the funeral is scheduled for two days later. "It's in a hurry. "As for the cemetery, do you want to see it, or let us Grande choose, of course, we will inform ......"
"We wanted to see it. Both nodded.
Zach would not have an opinion and rang the summoning bell.
Matthew came fast. Arrived at the same time as Alice, who had brought refreshments so late. Zach made a brief introduction and handed over the job of selecting the cemetery to Matthew.
Mr. and Mrs. Long didn't mind the late refreshments, and after thanking them, they left with Matthew, but Zach noticed Alice's somewhat strange face, apparently that she was distracted by something about her late arrival.
"What's wrong?" asked Zach after seeing the guests leave, followed by Alice, who was about to go downstairs to the kitchen with refreshments to clean up.
"Well, that Sloane ......," Alice shook her head, "no. It's nothing. ”
Zach raised an eyebrow, "Can you tell he's special?"
Alice nodded and shook her head, "Yes, but I don't know what he is, Yuehua told me." ”
Speaking of Yuehua, two black witches were chatting with Sloan in the backyard. In spite of.
"So the legend is true? Zach's face was curious. Even vampires use the word 'legend', so everyone should be curious.
"Probably true. Alice held the tea tray, her vision obscured. Going downstairs a little slowly, it only satisfies Zack's curiosity. "There are three sets of images of death on him, all the time. "The death seen by the Banshee also means a new life in another form, and this does not need to be reminded.
But don't let that make you downplay what death means to us, the well-lived, even if it tells you. The existence of the Earth Bound Spirit, are you going to die? Please don't.
"Three groups. Zach shook his head, smiling a little. I hope you can understand what this means, that there are three overlapping groups of simultaneous deaths in the same individual. The Banshee was seen, "Can you tell what the other two groups are apart from the human one?"
"I can't see it. Alice stopped in her footsteps as she turned the corner and shook her head, "The overlapping images make it impossible to tell what is what, and, head, dizziness ......" Alice blushed, "Yuehua and Baiying are very interested, they said that soul walkers are rare, and the chance of happening is ......"
Note that it is the chance of happening, not the birth. Make a sentence, the chance of being struck by lightning and still alive.
"It's small. This person must be a person who is favored by the rules of the world, and he can survive being attacked by two soul aliens at the same time......" Alice shook her head, "Wrong, it's not to survive, but to merge and transform into a new life." Alice stepped up again and continued downstairs, "He's so lucky. ”
I think I've explained a lot about the ways in which the soul alien exists. The demon devours the imprint of the soul that stores the experience of life, the phantom person absorbs the strong or fleeting desires of the person, the shadow man clings to the sense of existence represented by the shadow, the dream demon parasitizes the illusory dream, and even the earthbound spirit clings to the place where the bondage is bound in his life, and if he leaves, he will destroy if he does not transform into anything else.
The way in which all the alien souls exist can be summed up as - they are attached to reality, to be specific, and are able to provide in reality with the various needs of their existence.
"I've said it so many times, I don't want to talk about the past!" Sloane's tone on the back porch was visibly impatient.
"Why not. Yuehua asked, "The picture looks a little painful, well, is that pain? I'm sorry, the perspective of the picture keeps switching between the three subjects, I can't tell which one is you, oh no, now, which one is your consciousness, or which one accounts for more? Are you still the original human Sloane? Or are you actually more of the demon who failed to devour your soul? Oh no, Hyakei, do you think it's a demon? I don't think it's like it. Belch...... What the hell is it? Sloan, tell us, what are the other two?"
Alice had already walked down the stairs and turned to the kitchen, "I'm fine, just get used to it, you go and see Louise, Mo is with her below." ”
Zach nodded, didn't bother with the back porch, and walked down the stairs with the handrail and down the basement.
"You look terrible. Probably heard the conversation above, when Zack went down, Mo came out consciously, ready to leave the basement, up and down, Zack looked at Mo and said this kind of impolite comment on a woman.
"I need to recover. Mo glanced at Zack without any energy, and floated up directly without his feet sticking to the stairs, "In Kozil's shop, I consume too much. I'm not like a phantom person, I go out and go around and have a lot of energy, I need to practice. "God knows what spiritual practice is.
"I thought you hated the way phantoms borrowed power. Zach replied casually, remembering how Mo had provoked Danny when he first came.
"I didn't say that way was bad. Mo tugged at the corners of her mouth and smiled at the Great Dane, who was already standing at the door of the back porch to greet her, "I didn't say I didn't have any shortcomings. In the blink of an eye, he gave Zach a roll of his eyes to the passing by, "Didn't you say it a long time ago, my ability can't be used frequently." ”
It seems to have been said that when trying on clothes before the wedding, the ghost of the republic has a super convenient ability to create when trying on clothes......
Zach didn't bother to dwell on Murdo about this kind of thing, "Thank you for being with Louise." "I stepped downstairs and was already standing at the basement door.
"Friend. Mo waved his hand, and the top of Zack's head in the horizontal direction floated to the back porch, probably to play with the Great Dane. It's hard to describe, but these two republics, which have been bound for four centuries and span half the world, are a couple.
However, when Zach pushed the door, he still heard Mo's inexplicable exclamation, "Ahhh
Sloan?
"What's wrong??, do you know him?"
"Uh......" Mo's voice, "I don't know ......" was quieter, because Zach had closed the basement door with his backhand, but he could still hear it a little, "It's just a little frightening." I'm very weak now, and I'm afraid to see this kind of physique that can fight back. Kim, let's stay away from him. ”
"Ink, please translate into the language of the Federation, what is the seizure. ”
“......”
We won't know what to translate, because Zach's full attention is on Louise, who is staring at a mirror in the corner.
"What are you doing?" Zach asked softly, looking at the two red spots hanging in the air at the same level as Louise.
The red mangs went out once, and it was the owner who projected these two points that blinked. Louise turned around and squeezed out a smile, "I'm practicing, isn't that how you teach 'General', hehe, I seem to be worse than 'General'." She turned her head, and the red glow in the mirror reappeared, "Look, I can't even make a shadow ......" (to be continued.) )
