At lunchtime, Zach went to the warehouse south to take a look at Georgina and casually brought her a plate of slightly improved republican blood tofu. By the way, Alice accompanied Lola to Back Bay, and the lunch was made of ink, and the republican style lunch was given away, and Benjamin liked it very much.

Georgina glanced at the dark red squares on the plate and said, "I remembered the red wine brownie in [Time Elf]. ”

"I promise, it's a sensation to eat. "Oops, Zach replied.

Georgina took a bite and nodded.

"And ......," Zach leaned against the car door, "you still didn't look for James last night. "This is a reminder to this young lady, how much time are you going to hide in Grande?

Georgina pursed her lips and stopped talking. Zach waited for a while, waved his hand, didn't bother to continue asking, and left the warehouse and returned to the dining room.

Louise was also at the table, and thanks to the rainy weather, Louise also dared to go out of the basement for a while, and it just so happened that Mo also needed help in the kitchen, so she came up. At this time, there was a plate of blood tofu in front of him, and the ink was mashed with a spoon, but it was not put into his mouth for a long time.

Zach was not so entangled, the plate on the main seat was pushed away directly, and it was good to have 'wine'. Now the people at the table don't need Zack to pretend to eat, he just needs to be there to show the thoughtfulness of the master.

Yes, Grande has a guest, Ozzy Cozier, the Feast's companion and mind reader.

After the mind reader arrived, he still hadn't explained the purpose of his visit, but he kept his eyes on Harrison, and the focused look made the ghouls a little ...... Shy.

Zach blushed as Harrison's humanity began to blush, and spoke as the red began to extend to the base of his ear, "Mr. Kozil, I'm here. "Remind this guest. The host is here.

"Ah, please, Oz. Oz finally looked away from him and smiled at Zach, "I'm just obsessed with something for a ......while," he raised an eyebrow. "Delicate things. ”

"A love story between humans and aliens. Zach lifted the cup, not surprisingly, the beginning of Oz's entanglement with Emilia was when he discovered that the psychiatrist was actually a ghoul's girlfriend, which made him curious about the relationship between humans and aliens in the east, "But. Zach tilted his head, "I thought I had 'read' everything from Emilia, and I needed to be so interested in Harrison." ”

"No, no. Oz smiled and shook his head, "It's different. Miss Browning (Amilia) is the human idea of aliens, and more about how she balances the psychological process of her lover being alien. Oz looked at Harrison with his focused eyes again, "Here, it's completely different, it's the psychological process of the alien race, it's how Mr. Harrison convinces himself, the alien can be reduced to the ordinary, and he can also have ......" Oz himself stopped. "That's not right. The focus immediately turned to sorry, and there was an awkward smile. "Thinking is more expressive than words, I can read, but the expression is biased, sorry for my offense. ”

Harrison pursed his lips and shook his head, not responding to the mind reader.

Zach raised an eyebrow, "That's right." Harrison, do you remember anything?"

Harrison still had to respond to Zach's words, "I remembered something. "I glanced at Ike, I guess I thought of 'breaking up' when I made the bed," but not much. It's a start. Hopefully I'll remember it all in the future. ”

Oz's gaze followed Harrison to Ike, and after looking at it for a while, not knowing what he had read, he shook his head anyway, looking like he didn't want to comment, and then turned back to Harrison, "If you want, I think I can help." I always compare the human mind to a book, and I am the one who can turn the page. Do you understand that? ”

I don't understand it, it's all an uncomfortable statement. Oz glanced at Zach, as if asking for permission, "If someone can't get over the place on their own, I can help." ”

Zach shrugged, "I haven't thought about it that way, it's going to be like this? "It's encouraging Harrison to accept help.

"Well, I can try. Harrison nodded and glanced at Oz, receiving a good-natured 'I'll do my best to help you.'"

Zach took a sip of 'wine', okay, it was time to get the mind-reading guest's attention on Harrison, and it was time to ask what the other party was doing, "Oz, are you here for something with Grande?" "It's so direct.

"Two things. Oz put down the dishes and smiled, "The first is good news, remember the last time I promised to help you communicate with Liszt and get them to lift the restraining order against you in their estate?"

Zach nodded, waiting for the other to continue.

"Hehe, the night before yesterday, there was a dinner party for the launch of Liszt's development of a piece of land in the West End. Oz said what Zach already knew, remember, Mrs. Quinn's phone call to Grande at that dinner to inform him that the military was not going to do anything to Ike's doctor, and Grande could rest assured, "It's the piece of land you Grande used to have in the West End." ”

Oz saw that Zach didn't look curious and sped up the progress, "I won't talk about the details, you probably won't care, in short, Liszt was in a good mood at that time, and I was annoyed with them for a while, so I agreed to my proposal and lifted the restrictions on you." ”

Zach didn't know what to think, he wasn't happy, he didn't care, at least he wouldn't face the embarrassing situation of being asked to leave by the security guard at the door of the store in the future, which was a good thing. Nodding, "What about the second thing?"

Oz kept smiling, but looked at Ike, "When I came, I thought it should be a good thing, after all, it's a good thing for our mutual friend, whether he admits it or not, James Lance. ”

Sure enough, he looked at Ike and said that it was related to Ike's replacement death. James was also mentioned, and that was related to the military's accountability of the Cologne director.

"But, now. Oz's smile turned to embarrassment, "I can probably confirm that this is bad news." ”

Zach shook his glass, "Come to Grande to make sure." Zach pouted, suspicious of what he said, because—"Didn't Taylor inform you that Colonel Ike was saved by Grande?" "It's all guys from the Demon Banquet position, aren't these two people in contact?

Oz shook his head, "I just learned that Taylor already knew the situation. He glanced at Ike, "From the Colonel." ”

Ike grimaced. From the time Oz appeared until now, he hadn't said a word. Oz's meaning is obvious, and reading minds is really an annoying ability.

Zach ignored Ike, "Do you know each other?"

Oz shook his head, "No. The Colonel is from the military, and the affairs of the Devil's Banquet in the military are not within the scope of my handling, and the friendship between Kozil and Lance is a personal relationship, not a work, and we have not met. There was a pause, "But I can know that some of the news is normal." "Mind readers. The reverse is impossible, and Ike should not know Oz at all.

"That's what needs to be introduced. Zach looked at Ike, doing his master's duty. "This is Ozzy Kozil, Kozil needs no introduction, your western brand. What you need to know is that he is a self-proclaimed equal partner to the Demon Feast, a mind reader. ”

Ike's gloomy expression didn't change much, "When you first went out, he already introduced himself. ”

Zach raised an eyebrow and looked at Oz, "Can I think so?" Taylor really didn't report to the Devil's Banquet that the Colonel was alive, as she had promised at Grande the day before yesterday. So you don't know either. ”

"Absolutely. Oz still smiled awkwardly, "You can rest assured, I won't be troublesome." Looking at Ike, "Colonel, you're safe in Grande, don't worry. ”

Zach pouted. Speaking of what's going on with the Demon Banquet, one by one the Patton people are all such guys who don't report it, it's really hard to imagine that such a 'loose' organization can control the west to death.

Actually, there is something wrong with the way Zach thinks about it. It's not that the West and the Devil's Banquet are loose, they are very 'tight', and the 'loose' is Zach and Barton, these people follow the local customs and are taken 'loose'.

"Let's just say why this second thing is good for James, but not good news. Zach controls the flow of the conversation.

"I 'read' some messages. Oz raised his hand and shook it casually, "Here, there." Know that James's residence is under renovation and lives in the Southside these days, here you are. ”

Zach smiled and waved his hand, "You mean Emilia." "Don't forget that James and Emilia also had a doctor-patient relationship.

Oz didn't deny it, and nodded with a smile, "At the banquet, I 'read' some of those military people's plans, and I also received a notice from the Demon Banquet that they were going to make arrangements for the matter of 'Colonel dying in Patton'. I'm here to inform you when I have time today. Patton's current position as police chief is about to change. ”

"Change?" Zach didn't even want to ask about the plan, it had already been pushed out by the clues that had been pieced together, wasn't it - it didn't matter if Ike wanted to live, found Zack, and caused his own death, he would definitely die under Cologne's care, and then let the military hold the military accountable on the grounds that the military's face had been damaged, so that James received the message from his father, General Lance, "Disappointed, get ready".

"One airborne landing planned in the west. Oz actually picked up the dinner knife, cut his finger in the confused eyes of everyone at the table, and glanced at Zack.

Zach frowned, "I'm not Lesenbra (the Demon Feast Clan, good at carrying blood and passing messages), you better focus on delivering this message." This was a question of the tacit understanding with the mind reader, but he still passed the wine glass.

Oz smiled, "I know, I'm focused, don't underestimate a mind reader's focus." Pressing his finger on the brim of the cup, he watched a drop of blood red slip down and melt into the glass, and handed back the wine glass, "I'm sorry to use this way, everything that comes from the Demon Banquet will be burned to us after reading, and I can't come here with the information." There was a hint of helplessness on his face, "In fact, while the military was still doing this at Patton, it was already rare for me to be able to get rid of their eyes." ”

Zach pouted, was the other party emphasizing his sincerity in doing this?

"Thank you. "I don't know if it's for Oz to come over and give a message, or for the 'wine' that was brought to his mouth and added a drop. Tilt your head and empty your mouthful.

There was a brief silence at the table.

In the minds of our vampires, we don't know what kind of information is unfolding, and Zach's first expression is surprise, then the helplessness of pursing his lips, and when he starts to pour himself a second drink, it turns into a nod of complete understanding, "I see." ”

Then he looked at Ike and said something inexplicable, "Although I don't want to admit it, we seem to have helped the Demon Feast." ”

Ike wouldn't know what was being said, heh, we didn't know either.

"Help?" Oz pressed his finger and was the first to express his doubts, but it immediately became clear, "I know, I'm still wondering how Mayor Patton reacted so quickly, even if it was a critical time for the election to start, he actually intervened as soon as possible and began to mediate." Did you Grande ask the mayor for help?"

"Yes. Zach shook his head, expressionless, and looked at Oz, "I'm very concerned about your Demon Banquet's investigation of Barton. The first time I saw James respond to reporters' thoughts on the campaign (newspaper, a snapshot of the mayoral candidates), I wondered where he summarized the political career of the current mayor Anthony in the interview. ”

Remember, when James replied to reporters why he felt that he was a young police detective who was qualified to run for office, James replied that Anthony, the current mayor, was a role model. And we know that James's background and energy are an upgraded version of Anthony, who once came to Barton.

Oz nodded, "Of course it was the conclusion reached by the Demon Feast and instilled in him." Naturally, he would not have been conscious, and in his heart, apart from the little inconsequential rebellion against his father, James had basically completely accepted the Demon Feast, or all the values that the Lance family had cultivated in him. ”

"Does that include the rejection of aliens? Zach was mocking.

"That's in the rebellious heart. Oz waved his hand awkwardly.

Zach was also in no mood to talk about James at this time, to the point, "The military's accountability of Cologne will not be dragged into the military's position at all, as I feared, and it will be carried out purely for the sake of the military's face." Zach glanced at Ike and continued, "The Magic Banquet has long been prepared to replace Cologne, and the initial purpose is to complete an airborne landing, which cannot be completed by the power of the military, it requires the intervention of politics, that is, the mayor." ”

"Yes. Oz nodded again, "Mayor Anthony's political career and situation in Barton have been thoroughly studied at the Magic Banquet, including his ex-wife Aethera, who has just entered the police station and moved to Cologne...... In order to create templates for James that could be replicated and plan for the crises he might encounter. Oz sensed that Zach didn't want to talk about James, and quickly skipped it, "The Devil's Banquet knows the relationship between Mayor Anthony and Cologne, and also knows that the mayor's re-election this time is in line with Ethra's competition. ”

"Speaking of competition, Cologne is also one of the candidates. Zach pouted.

"But just like James is a candidate, we all know it's just a formality, and this time, they're not going to really run. Oz waved his hand, "This candidate, no, it can be said that the deal that the military is negotiating with the mayor right now is not only a boost for Anthony, but also a blow to Ethella." Even if Cologne wants to really run for the next four years, it will be a help. ”

Zach took it, not knowing what emotion was, "Hmph, in the next four years, I'm afraid it will be James's help." ”

"What are you talking about?!" Ike finally couldn't hold back, interrupting the two guys who were talking to themselves.

Zach looked at Ike, "Don't worry, Cologne will be fine, if the news in this drop of blood is true." ”

"Very true. Oz responded affirmatively.

"What the hell will happen?"

"There will be a man with a military background to replace Cologne's place, a inheritor, an alien ......"

Does Ike care about the interracial, no, he cares about Cologne, "What will happen to Cologne?"

"His place is occupied and he will be moved to the South End. Zach glanced at Oz, "The military will ask the mayor to punish Cologne, and there is nothing more punitive than throwing the chief of the North Side to the South Side." ”

"For ......"

"Because it can help Anthony get rid of an Aethera guy by the way. Zach shook his head, he just said it, he cares a lot about the Moyan's investigation of Barton, how can he be so meticulous?" and support Anthony in future campaigns. ”

Zach paused for a moment and concluded, "Once the mayor intervenes in the military's accountability of Cologne, politics is the only game, and politics is the only game, and politics is the two parties to the transaction, and now the mayor and the military, Cologne is already a bargaining chip." ”

Let's summarize it too, the magic feast, helping Anthony, this template. (To be continued.) )
