It was Zach's first visit since the chaos in the Southeast. It's a bit bleak, no pedestrians, no noisy gangsters leaning outside the bar, no smell of alcohol and smoke leaking all day...... The southeast has become 'clean', but, well, desolate.

Because I came from Becky, I passed by the 'General's bar'. The only neon sign in the southeast had been torn down, the front door of the bar was closed, and Zach listened a little, and the 'General' was in a daze, no matter.

[Skull Skull] is indeed still open, but in the current daytime it is like a dull old box, after pushing the door, in the dark space, there are only a few figures in the corner, Zach glanced at it, and it was all demons.

"Where's Sgaull?" Zach said first.

The demon who stayed behind did not answer, but got down to business first, "Wales is in the cellar." Crowley wants to know how you're going to protect him. ”

Zach smiled as he glanced at James, who had just entered the door and was not ready to take another step inside, "How do ordinary police officers protect potential victims?"

"Arrange a safe house. James replied.

Zach stretched out his hands and looked at the demon, indicating that this was the answer. "Skoll ......" Zach listened a little, "Where are all his human men?"

"Prison. The demon raised his hand and motioned for someone to take Wales, "Squill had been carrying a parole on his back, and after the chaos in the southeast, he knew that he couldn't stop it, so he took someone to deliberately violate the regulations and went in. ”

Belch......

Zach looked at James and asked, 'You know this?'

James grimaced and shook his head.

While the chaos in the Southeast was still going on, the people in the Southeast going to jail would definitely attract the attention of the insiders, but the truth was that James had no idea. It was obviously someone who did something in the middle, and that person could only be Chapman.

It was James who overlooked that he hadn't paid much attention to Chapman's behavior when the police department was busy.

Zach curled the corners of his mouth, "That's smart enough." When will he come out?" our vampire's attention drifted a little.

"It probably won't get out. The demon replied directly. "The current prison is not controlled by Vincent, it is Aethera. ”

Zach raised an eyebrow, Aethra was in control of the prison, he knew that it was Anthony's first encounter with Aethra, but it was- "What, did Sgaul ever have anything to do with Vincent?"

"Sgaull wasn't the only one who knew how to hide in jail when he was in danger. The demon replied again, "The demands of Scole's job sometimes require them to get rid of those who are hiding in it, so he has to find a way to get in, too." ”

Reminiscence. When Seth was in prison, he was reminded by his zealous cellmates that Seth was the 'General', and that the 'General's' rivals were here to 'work' (Chapter VII 24).

As for that work, we can connect the dots in time and make a conjecture that I can tell you clearly that it is the truth.

As Sgaule's men finish their work in the prison, Warden Vincent needs to keep a low profile. Let Grande deal with the new corpses added to the prison, the mill's first prison business. Brill's brother (Chapter VII6).

"Now, how are you going to get him out?" Zach asked reasonably, hoping that the answer wasn't for the demon to get close to Ethera.

"There's no rush. The demon replied, "He's doing well in it, and he's doing a lot of business." ”

"That's my credit!" said Wales, his gold-rimmed glasses perched on the bridge of his nose. "I'm the one who brought the business, and Crowley wants to reward me......!

"The mill didn't get any new business from the prison. Zach looked at the 'acquaintance', "I'm afraid the business you got is not a good thing." ”

The cooperation between the prison and Grande is confirmed by contract and is not tied to Vincent. It doesn't matter who really controls the prison, if there are dead people in the prison. If you need a funeral, you will find Grande. Nazak's meaning was obvious, the business that Wales brought to Skoll was just a small mess.

"Grid, Mr. Grande......" Wales' eyes flickered, he should have been afraid of Zach, whether it was Zach's vampire status, whether he had almost been used by Papa Midnight to kill Zach, or whether he was now alive entirely on Grande.

"Long time no see. Zach smiled and nodded, "You look good, Wales." Interested in going to Grande for a few days? Just like in the past. "Remember, Wales used to be a civil servant, and in Grande, he was sorting out the funeral documents and determining the cemetery compensation for the recovery of the Southern District cemetery from the municipality.

Grande is certainly not the safe house for potential victims, and Zach is positioned exactly as he has been in Wales in the past, he is a decoy. Only this time it's not to lure Papa's Midnight's Dead Apostle Contract, but to lure the remnants of the Fight Club!

"Gram, Crowley said, I should go with Lance Detective. "Wales are a bit cautious.

"Yes. Zach glanced at James, "What does the detective think?"

The corner of James's eyes twitched, "You have no identity, it's inconvenient to follow me, you stay in Grande, I'm very relieved." The gloomy tone was far from reassuring.

"Nothing wrong, let's go. Zach beckoned, "The detective still has something to do, so we can't delay it too much." ”

This is the truth, James and Zach were able to come to the southeast like this, because Coleson saw Zack's 'intimate' release, accompanied Zack on this trip, and after keeping up with the progress, James had to return to Cowson. Now that Zach has confirmed that Cowson's clues are correct, James must also fully cooperate with this partner's investigation, and in addition, he must pay attention to his partner, so as not to encounter anything beyond the scope of human beings in the investigation. James, it's going to be busy.

Wales was put in the back seat, and James drove in the direction of the Southside, and the signage that was different from the 'General' bar was removed, and they passed a building where the signboard was being installed.

"Nou told me that Aix had set up a security company. Zach tilted his head sideways, looking at the huge 'Aix Security' sign that had been hoisted into the air ready to be installed, and it should have been just a casual chat, "Grande hired No's friend, Sedil Security, and I read their manual. Many businesses are carried out in cooperation with the police. How's this Aix security?"

The corners of James's eyes twitched, and it was hard not to take this as sarcasm, "If you ask them if they have come to the police station to report, the answer is yes! These days, people from Aix often come to the police station to access their channels and install equipment!"

Zach also doesn't explain James's misunderstanding. Raising an eyebrow, "How does Corson feel about this?"

"What can he feel. James tugged at the corners of his mouth, "The cooperation with the security company was arranged by the police department, and he can only watch!" James moved his neck, "The last time he wanted you to contact the 'General', it was because of this." You pushed it away, he didn't see the 'general', and the matter in the southeast has been pressed from above, and it is even more impossible for him to follow this clue now. ”

"It's fine. Zach waved his hand. Turning his gaze away from the huge signboard being installed, "Curson is better off concentrating on the case now." These things are the 'general's'. ”

James pursed his lips for a moment before he spoke again, "You'd better keep your 'general' in mind and don't let him do anything......"

"Hehehe. "I don't know what Zach is doing.

The car was quiet.

Presumably confirming that the two people in the front seat were not saying anything that he was not interested in, Wales pushed his glasses. Shifting his body, he leaned into the gap between the backrests of the front seat. "Well...... Well, I want to thank you for saving me in the hospital before......"

"The person who really saved you was Crowley, we just got you out, you don't have to thank you. Zach looked back with a smile.

"Uh......" Wales' body froze, "Well, I want to be sorry for being that before." Well, Papa took advantage of midnight and almost ......"

"Oh, no. Zach raised his hand, a deliberate unhappiness on his face. "Don't mention this again, I meant to use you as bait, but I didn't expect you to be Papa's midnight bait, and his methods are more clever, and I lost. Let this pass. ”

"Uh......" Wales retracted and pushed his glasses, "Well, I, do I have to be in Grande, Lan, Detective Reims, you, are you really that inconvenient there? I, I can hide from the ......"

Hey, this guy is a little clever too, feeling that Zach is completely out of oil and salt, and is starting to look forward to the other side.

James didn't bother to pay attention to it and increased the throttle. The car drove out of the southeast and soon crossed the north-south junction on Route 27 into the South Zone. There are no clusters of modern buildings, and the scenery on both sides of the windows has changed in style.

Without warning, Wales in the back seat exclaimed, "Ah!"

While Zach and James were looking in the rearview mirror at the same time, the guy was slapping his waist in the back seat in confusion, and a pinch of flames jumped somewhere.

James instinctively wanted to stop, and the car caught fire, which was no fun thing. Zach stopped and motioned for James to look at it.

Then look at it.

Welsh slapped for a long time, and the flames did not go out, but seeped into his abdomen as if absorbed.

Zach reached out and pressed the steering wheel that was starting to spiral out of control as James stared in the rearview mirror, "Look at the road, James." Zach reminded and continued to look at what was happening in the back seat with an ornamental gaze.

The Welsh belly began to stir, as if something was tumbling and going up, the abdomen, the chest, the throat......

"Wow!"

Wales leaned forward and spat out a cloud ...... 'paper'. Brown balls of paper with disgusting slime rolled under James's gear. If it weren't for Zach pressing James, James would definitely let go.

"Whew-" Wales breathed heavily, pushing back his crooked glasses first, "Hug, sorry...... Every time, it's so uncomfortable......"

Wales pouted, took out a pair of gloves from his body, and then leaned over to retrieve what he had spit out. Of course, no one is going to help, "Uh, I'm sorry, Detective Lance, I'll clean it up." ”

James looked sideways at Zach, who needed an explanation.

Zach kindly replied, "This is the Demon Pact. ”

The Demon Pact was picked up by a gloved hand, and the brown 'paper' with slime was unfolded. Ignoring the disgusting attachment, I can now see it clearly, the paper is the skin of some kind of creature, thick and mottled.

"Did the contractor take the initiative to contact him? Zach let go of the hand holding James, "Read it out and listen, Wales, let's be curious Detective Lance, hear what the man who sold his soul to the devil has and wants from the devil." ”

"Well...... Wales frowned as he looked at the flashing black handwriting on the deed, "No, no, I should inform Crowley to ...... first"

"Oh, that's fine. Zach smiled and waved his hand, "By the way, I ask your Crowley to protect you well, and not to trouble the busy Lance Detective, and, my difficult Grande master." ”

"Uh......" Wales blinked, "okay, okay." Zack's persuasion was direct and rude, Wales had nothing to argue with, and looked at the contract in his hand, "This man is not asking for anything, he is asking what to do, he was caught by several Indian hunters, and the hunters asked him to do something." ”

"Hunters?" Zach raised an eyebrow, "I thought that the relationship between the Indian hunters and Crowley in Sbella was still at peace because of the hostage exchange deal, why did Crowley pay so little attention to the contractor you found, can the hunters of In'an be captured at will?"

"No, it's not. Wales frowned, "It said that the other party didn't really arrest him, just talked to him, talked." ”

Zach shrugged, "What are the hunters going to do?"

"The hunter wants the corpse. Wales doesn't seem to understand the contents of the contract himself, "Oh, this person is an employee of the Ford Funeral Home in the North District, he said that some time ago, the North District Police Department sent a batch of broken corpses of the Indians, and after the detention period, they were ready to dispose of it, and the hunter came to him, as if ......" Wales frowned, "At first, the hunter was going to steal, and he found out that he was a demon contractor, so he came directly to ask for it." ”

Zach pursed his lips and asked James, "Did Sbella ask you for help with the werewolf corpse?"

James tugged at the corners of his mouth, he didn't know what mood to use at this time, "I found it, but I refused." ”

Zach waved his hand, not knowing if it was the mentality, "Hehe, fortunately, Barton, there are 'friends' everywhere who can be turned to." Zach glanced at Wales in the rearview mirror, "Let him help the hunters as best he can." ”

"No, it's not good......," Wales was embarrassed, "Anything the contractor does for us will become a reward in hell in the future, and the souls of these little people will be cultivated into a low-level demon at most in the future, and this, the reward of this soul is already full......"

To prove that he was not lying, Wales turned the deed in his hand, and the bottom cross was already filled with inky black. Full means.

"Yes. Zach smiled, "Then tell him that there is no reward this time." But if he doesn't, there will be a punishment. Zach cocked up a finger with sharp nails, "The punishment is for me, and I'll leave him with no soul to receive the reward." By the way, you lost a contract, how does that sound?"

"Good, good ......"

Opportunistic people are really easy to control, because they are too good at discerning the pros and cons in front of them.

Welsh, with a grimace on his face, nodded, crumpled the contract again, and swallowed it back. (To be continued.) )
