Chapter 25: Expectation
Zach has a lot to gain, in addition to the 'general' who can provide 'no responsibility' manpower, there are also people who buy and sell 'identity', people who deliver goods, if these are already in the black zone. Then among these people are lawyers, security guards, and detectives who count as investigations, such as Nuo and Zack, who are in the gray area.
As for the White Zone, there is a saying that if an apology is useful, what do you need the police to do.
Of course, these people must have their own informants or people who have a favor, like Zach's James and Curson, who will talk to the 'General' peacefully......
The meeting lasted until midnight, another dividing point in life after the dividing point of the twilight time. The performers on the stage have changed one after another, and the special service has entered the stage of negotiation. Zach looked at the beautiful women sitting next to these new 'friends', and the next project to be carried out would not take place in this 'gentleman' bar.
Zach smiled and gestured to No, taking his leave. Emotionally and physically, Zach didn't feel that these women could give him more than Louise. Moreover, now that Zach wanted not such a low-level activity, the love that he had always kept in his heart was not unraveled by James and this guild-like coterie. What Zach wants is to go back to Grande and talk to Benjamin.
About Benjamin, let's turn back the clock and imagine this image. A scene where a one-of-a-kind 'Toredo' meets an 'Alpha' without a race on the battlefield.
The truck's dusty and stained skin shed its bewildering neon cloak and was shrouded in night and moonlight as it hit Route 27.
The further south you go, the weaker the city's aura becomes. Far from the North End, there are no more dense buildings on both sides of the road, and lonely street lamps light up the blue-gray road and the open fields on the side of the road, with the occasional small building or two receding in the night outside the car window.
In the past, every time Zach drove on this road, his mood would always become lighter. The troublesome affairs are on the road from north to south, like the scenery on both sides, peeling off little by little, as long as you return to the Grande House, Zach returns to the identity of the vampire hidden in the city.
But now, that mood is gone. No matter how the surrounding scenery recedes, the vampire's connection to the city cannot be severed.
With a hint of anticipation, Zack took control of Zha's car and turned into the Grande House, but the person who went out had not returned, and Zach was a little disappointed.
Everyone had rested, and only Daniel's body turned into a faint streamer, swirling and drifting around the Grande House.
Zach looked at the moon, which had begun to round, shook his head, and walked out of the basement. Returning to death is a great trick to empty your mind, but Zach hasn't used it for this reason for a long time.
When the vampire's heart falls silent and the blood no longer flows, Zack's carefully maintained body temperature gradually merges with the temperature of the environment. The vampire's consciousness vanished, and his life seemed to really stop, turning into one of Grande's objects, lying flat on the hard stone platform, like a lying statue.
The fair-skinned skin of the statue was pressed down, and the inelastic muscles were dented, and they did not recover for a long time.
Benjamin frowned, his broad palm slapping the vampire's left chest.
A dull thud echoed in the basement, and a faint throbbing appeared in the sunken sternum.
Waking up in pain is not a comfortable thing to do. Zack's cloudy pupils slowly cleared, and the scene in his field of vision slowly focused.
"How long are you going to sleep. Benjamin pouted impatiently.
With the soft sound of Kela, the sternum realigned, and the sunken muscles regained their elasticity after the blood was washed and flowed, and slowly rebounded, and Zach watched Benjamin do it, scratching his smooth body uncomfortably.
Benjamin turned out to be so white and tender, this was the first thing that came to Zack's mind after he regained consciousness.
"What time is it. Zach's voice was still a little hoarse, and the blood was not yet fully flowing. Benjamin's tone was as if he had 'slept' for a long time.
"Monday noon. Benjamin frowned, lifted one leg, pulled open his trousers, and scratched at the smooth calf, pink and tender...... He regretted it, he was moved by Lola yesterday and came to remove his hair all over his body. The hairy alpha was uncomfortable now, and he felt like something was missing between his skin and the fabric of his clothes.
Zach's face twitched stiffly, his expression not quite working.
It's just 'sleeping' for a long time, is it necessary for Benjamin to wake himself up in such a violent way?
The vampire controlled his heartbeat, urging the blood flow to accelerate, reaching out to pick up the clothes on the side of the stone platform, and put them on slowly.
"When did you come back?" Zach asked with a stiff face as he looked at Benjamin, who seemed to be a little smaller.
"Morning. Benjamin twisted and tugged at his vest. Zach's mood was inexplicably happy.
"What have you done? Why has it been so long. ”
"Watch a movie. Benjamin frowned, touching himself uncomfortably, "Originally, I was just going to watch a movie, but Lola found out that Alice likes to watch movies, so she packed the whole night." ”
Zach raised his eyebrows halfway up ridiculously, and continued to squeeze the stiff skin on his forehead with difficulty, "What movie?"
Benjamin waved his hand and replied impatiently. ”
Zach nodded, "Good movie." ”
"It's not. They remade it once, and a group of people sang non-stop, endlessly. ”
Zach thought about it with his not yet fully functioning brain, and it was normal for Benjamin to dislike the genre of music that Benjamin liked. If it's an opera style, I should like it, so I shook my head helplessly and made up for it when I had time.
"Is there anything going on now?" Zach thought, Benjamin would come to the basement and call himself probably not just watching a movie for one night.
"Cook and go. I am hungry. Benjamin said with a frown.
"Huh?" Zach's already stiff movements stopped in the air.
"Louise went to church, Alice was still sleeping, and no one was preparing lunch. Benjamin urged impatiently.
Zach re-propelled the blood flow that had stalled for a split second, "What about Kim? Daniel, what about Matthew?" Counting on Old Hank, it was impossible.
"Kim won't, what the hell Daniel does!" Benjamin frowned, clearly disdainful of Daniel's healthy way of eating, "Matthew is catching up on sleep, too." ”
Zach sighed and followed Benjamin out of the basement. When he entered the kitchen, he saw Daniel, who had rarely built a solid body, processing a chicken cutlet, and saw Benjamin coming, with a bitter face, "I added enough butter and spices, will you try again?"
Benjamin directly pushed the plate aside, and Kim glanced at it, he cared about the taste, and now that he didn't meet his requirements just by looking at it with the naked eye, he decided to wait.
Daniel's sufficiency is obviously not enough, the actions of the phantom entity cannot escape the *limitations of others, and it is obvious that the current Daniel's body still retains the previous influence, and if he wants to break through, he can only keep consuming, and then absorb new *.
As for old Hank, he had already eaten what Daniel had made for the first time and basked in the sun in the courtyard. That's probably the only merit of Old Hank.
Zach moved his body and took Daniel's place, and when Daniel was relieved to disperse the entity, Benjamin stopped him, "Clean up the mess,* Werewolf said.
Daniel reluctantly kept the entity. Excluding the third category, which is vague in the classification of aliens, the first category has an innate superiority over the second.
Grande's kitchen is starting to get busy, and Zach is not as good as Alice, but much better than Daniel. On a whim, the vampire made the steak he learned from yesterday's Cook's Kitchen, and then tried a little, and it was good, in terms of human food.
After settling Benjamin, Zach took out his own food and looked at the werewolf who was indeed hungry, "Do you want to know what I did yesterday?"
Benjamin dealt with his food, "Wait a minute, when I went to pick up Matthew at the gospel church yesterday, the priest said something. ”
Zach raised his eyebrows and listened, thinking for a while, "You have already told Matthew that my blood can heal a qiē." If he really didn't want his father to come into contact with the demon, he would have brought it up. ”
Benjamin frowned, "He treats you as a boss and won't mention it." ”
Zach nodded, Matthew is indeed such a character, but Joseph is going to teach that this is related to faith, no matter what they do, what will happen will still happen. Crowley wouldn't do anything out of the ordinary with Joseph, as long as she was sure of that, there was nothing to worry about.
"Then what I have to say, you will be very happy. Zach smiled and took a sip of the liquid from his glass and began to tell the story of his trip to prison.
Although, to say that prison inmates will go to hell is a very biased statement, just as Jacomes was prejudiced against other races. But on the other hand, will they go to heaven? No, in order to maintain the faith, the angels of heaven will not allow this kind of thing to happen, after all, such rules are set by the people of faith, the good ones go up, and the bad ones go down.
The superiority of the first class over the second type of alien race is not without reason, because no matter how powerful they are, they are always bound by the minds of weak human beings.
So it's no surprise that the only destination for these people is hell. Of course, this presupposes that in the Federation, the main faith is under the Holy Bishop.
And what Zach did yesterday was to control these souls that would inevitably go to Crowley's hands under Anthony's promotion.
Let's face the harsh reality, first, the prisoner's faith is not as strong as the prison has a fixed weekly service, so the process of judging the belonging of the soul is not very short. Second, how long do you think the funeral of a prisoner will drag on? Obviously, after spending a few hours, or even less, the person will be sent directly to the funeral home.
And Zach has already set the end of this process to death by cremation. If Crowley doesn't want to let the already dismal 'business' lose the business she deserves, she'd better hurry up and make a new deal with Zack!
Zach is looking forward to the moment when he takes the initiative again.
