21 The General's Rest Stop
The southeast, which was gray in the rain, was like a dead place, and there was no life at all. It's not that it's good to have a few gangsters standing outside the smoky bar, but now, it's not lifeless.
Adding a touch of wonder to the gray atmosphere was the car parked outside the General's Rest Station, James's car.
Zach raised an eyebrow, circled James's car, touched his chin, and pushed the door into the bar, "Skillful." At first glance, I saw the two gloomy and opposite 'General' and James, "It's all here." β
The General's face immediately turned irritated, "It's a good time. "Rhetoric.
James gave the General a gloomy look and then turned directly to Zach, "What are you doing here?!"
Zach shrugged his shoulders and asked Mason behind him, "The 'General' asked me to bring someone over, what are you doing here?"
James stared at Mason for a long time, and the ghost knew what he was thinking, and as soon as he pulled Zack, he walked out, "Go out and talk!"
Zach cooperated, motioned for the 'General' to accept the people, casually glanced at the people who had risen from the dead sitting scattered in the bar, and returned to the front porch of the bar with James.
"What do you mean, how did you bring Mason here?!" James asked.
"The 'General' needs help to discipline those who have come back from hell and asks Seth. Zach replied with the corners of his mouth curled, "But he can only get Mason, hehe, you know." β
James's face was constipated, "And then you sent someone?!"
"Yes, I'm basically just done with the gesture of giving people away. Zach tilted his head, "Crowley and the priest offered to let Mason come here. "It means that Zach didn't do anything to get Mason here, blame Crowley.
James frowned, and thought for a moment before he spoke, "Can Mason control those people!"
"Did they get into any trouble?" Zach didn't answer directly. Rhetorical question.
James was still too innocent, "They volunteered to testify at the police station......" shook his head irritably, "forced us to interrogate ......" continued to shake his head, "forced ......" took a deep breath and glared at Zack, "They were very unhappy with the way the police handled the chaos in the southeast before! Did you say they were in trouble!"
"Then you're here. It's because ......" Zakra had a long outdo, waiting for James to complete it himself.
"Sent to restore the chaos in the Southeast. They, these 20 or so people, originally belonged to different gangs in the southeast, and I came to investigate the testimony and restore the facts of the case. β
"Nope. Zach shook his head, "You're here, I didn't see you go to their original gang station to investigate." β
The corner of James's eye twitched, "What's there! I know they're telling the truth!"
"Oh. Zach chuckled and tilted his head. "So your job is done, what are you doing here?"
James looked away irritably, "I'm here to warn the General!" and his men!"
"Don't do anything stupid, like slaughter Ax Security, right. β
James didn't want to respond, and Zach continued, "But your warning doesn't really make sense, does it?" Apparently the police are not going to do justice to these guys in the Southeast. β
James stared at Zack, still not speaking.
Zach smiled and waved his hand. I'm ready to turn around and go to the bar.
"I'm going to stay here and don't want to go back to the game just yet. James's informative opening.
"Whatever you want. "Of course Zach doesn't care.
Answering the bar again, you can describe the current state of the 'General's lair'. It's much better than the last time Zach came, at least two dozen more people.
We don't know the race of Tamu is still working as a bartender, and his two friends, a man and a woman, are not there, and no one cares. The 'General' leaned against the bar. just kept looking at Mason, making Mason bow his head a little awkwardly.
Zach was going to make a formal introduction, but he was preempted.
"You. The strange guy sat down at the small round table in front of the bar and raised his chin at Zack, "Zach, right?" β
Zach looked at the man. Except that the skin is a little white, it is no different from a normal person. No, it should be said that the twenty or so more people who appeared here were all a little white and very tender, and in terms of flesh, the resurrection of the Siren made their flesh as tender and white as a new life......
"Just came back last time. The man moved in his seat, hesitated slightly, but still stood up, and actually stretched out his right hand to Zack, "I'm a little uncomfortable emotionally, I didn't have time, it's time to say a good word - thank you." β
Zach looked at the other party's right hand, gave a smile, reached out to hold it, and shook it twice, "No, thank you, thank you Kraken and Mike, they are the ones who contributed." "The Kraken resurrects the body, and Mike sends back the soul," of course, the most important thing is the 'General'. Zach certainly doesn't care about being grateful, "If it weren't for his vengeance, I probably wouldn't care if you rot at the bottom of the sea." β
While retracting his hand, the man's expression was uncomfortable for a moment, but then he looked at the 'general', moved the corners of his mouth and nodded, and looked at all the people in this space who were in the same situation as him, "We know that the goal of revenge is the same as ours." β
Zach raised an eyebrow at the 'general' pulling the corners of his mouth, "That's good, the goal is the same, it's the beginning of all relationships." β
A voice came from the corner, "I can't work with the 'General', he has robbed our business, beaten our brothers, and ruined our ......"
"We?" Zach looked around the corner, unconcerned, "where are 'we'?"
The bar was silent, except for Tamu, who dangled his glass inappropriately, making the sound of liquids crashing against the walls.
Zach nodded to the corner, "Yes, 'we', you're the only one left in this world." Zach turned around and patted Mason, who had never known what to do, and said, naturally, to the corner, "If you miss 'us' so much, this new friend is here, ready to send you back to reunite with your 'we'." β
Zach glanced around at the bar, "Missed your gang, your brothers, your territory?" He patted Mason again and snapped his fingers, "I promise, in a matter of moments, you'll be back." β
Go back to hell. And we already know that Hell is a strange world made up of a timeline from the past. So what Zach said was more than just mockery.
"You don't need to say those words. It was the man who first accosted Zack, and there was a gloomy expression on his white face, "We all know our situation now. "He glanced at the 'General', and there was not much kindness in his eyes. Obviously, his former gang has also been 'bullied' by the 'general', "We just need time to adjust to the current situation!"
To be honest, Zach was a little disappointed that the 'General' should have said these words to him, the boss here, not a guy who stood up casually.
Zach glanced at the man, "You know. Then he officially turned to Mason, "This is Mason." There are three ways to go to hell. Cerberus, you've all been there, judged by faith, sent back by witchers. Mason is a witcher. "It's official.
Zach glanced at the 'General' and didn't say much, meaning to forget about Seth, "From now on, Mason will stay here, with you, to help and cooperate with the 'General' for your consistent goal......"
"What about you?"
"Me?" Zach raised an eyebrow.
"Won't you help us? The man frowned, staring at our vampire. "You're the one who told 'General' Aix, Falken is ......"
"I'm just a funeral owner in the South End. Zach interrupted expressionlessly, "It just so happens that Sedil of the security company I work with." It's not Aix, that's it. "It's a little bit of an inconsequential dot that gets out of the way.
The man frowned, "You made the current 'general'." β
"Because we're friends. Zach shrugged his shoulders and glanced at the pouting 'General', "I don't want him dead." "I made a show move. "So I gave him eternal life, is there any more problem? β
Probably no one will be satisfied with such an answer, but it is the only answer they can get.
The man pursed his lips and thought for a moment. I don't know what I'm thinking.
Zach crooked his mouth, his eyes signaling to the 'general', to ask him to do something, after all, this is his territory, and it is nothing to always let a guest help him talk.
But the 'general' didn't realize it.
"Well, that detective, Detective Lance. The man spoke again, pointing out the door of the bar, where James was still outside, peeking obscenely through the window, and quickly dispersed when he was discovered, "He looks like he's on our side......"
"Delusion. Zach directly denied it, looking at the man in front of him, "You seem to take it for granted, he is a police detective, and you are...... Just because a potential criminal is willing to believe your word doesn't mean he's going to help you commit a crime - to get revenge on Aix or Falken. β
The man seemed upset, "If they had done what the police had done, we wouldn't have ...... at all"
"Are you in hell to be blind? Zach interrupted at the right time and spread his hands, "Because the police caught the murderer, locked up the 'wicked' who destroyed your original gang, and punished the 'evil' in the southeast?"
The man stared at Zach with a gloomy face.
There's no way, please try to understand Zack's logic, Zack's logic can only be bent in the face of the gangsters whose morality is already distorted.
"Well, I convinced the detectives to go and arrest Ax now. Zach waved his hand, "Mason, send them back to Hell, they seem to want that." β
Of course, Mason didn't move, and the man didn't move, but his face became more gloomy, "You just have to rely on ourselves for what you say!"
Zach nodded, glancing at everyone in the bar, "That's all you have." β
"Don't count me in. Tamu, who had been making noise, actually spoke, "I'm here to help the 'general' just for fun, not a 'life goal'." β
Zach pouted and glanced at Tam, "Of course, get rid of him." β
Mason hesitantly raised a finger to see his strange faceβhe had only been trained by the priest, not to become a criminal.
Zach patted Mason on the shoulder, "And him, he's just a ticket to give you back to 'home' when you want to give up." Have we all made it clear?"
"Our souls have been in hell, but they are still the same as humans. The man frowned, "You can't expect us to be just a few ordinary humans......"
"I hear it. The 'General' finally spoke, with a look of disdain and contempt, "I didn't think I needed to say this, hmph, how many years have I been in Patton, and which of our gangs is not made up of ordinary humans." β
The man stared at the 'General' and did not speak.
"I thought it wasn't any different, hmph, it's easier now, it's just us in the southeast, and Aix. "Squill was fed to the dog by the 'General', "but it looks like you've all been cowardly when you die once, and you have to find a bunch of helpers for yourself before you dare to fight Aix......"
"Aix has Falken, the police, and the whole of Patton's backers, what do we have!" the man retorted.
"You don't have anything. The 'General' tilted his head, "It's just me, accept it or get out, it's just me." β
Zach tilted his head, feeling that it was about the same, and finally patted Mason, ready to say goodbye and leave.
It's still the man," you. β
Zach looked at the talkative guy as he walked to the door, "The 'General' is your descendant after all, if he shows anything......
"I don't want him dead. Zach didn't bother to say anything, waved his hand and pushed the door open, "That's not immortality, right?" "Nod, go out, close the door. Like it or not, that's the answer Zach can give anyway.
"You're instigating a gang of criminals!" James stopped Zach at the door.
Zach didn't bother to entangle with this tangled detective, "Do you want them to continue to 'urge' you to turn over the case in the southeast at the police station?" β
James held his breath and stopped talking.
Zach shrugged, got in the car, started up, and returned to Grande, maybe Lola's commission would make some progress.
Don't forget, the election campaign has begun, and the city government must pay enough attention to the report of an unpleasant citizen, and it is about whether their mayor can stay in his current position.
As they prepare to leave, Zach finds James still standing on the front porch of the bar.
Zach frowned and rolled down the window, "James?"
James turned his head sideways, too lazy to reply.
Zach raised an eyebrow, "I'll accompany you?"
"No, you go back, you don't need to be here!"
Zach pondered, "What's going on in the police station, right? Cologne deliberately got you out and won't let you go back?"
Yes, James, who had been skipping work for half a day, had not been trained at the police station, and had been brought out to do this meaningless work, and now he is not going back, apparently Cologne deliberately broke up James.
James glared at Zack, the corners of his mouth moving, "It's none of your business!"
Zach pouted, "Is it off, or is it beyond my control?"
James lowered his head, probably entangled for a long time, and looked up at Zach, "The military people went to the police station again, and they deliberately notified the media, and the mayor also sent people over, and now they are all crowded in the bureau! The director saw that I was unhappy and kicked me out! That's it, satisfied!"
Zach sideways his head and was out of range.
"See you at dinner, James. "Our vampire pushed the gear and rolled up the window. Go home. (To be continued.) )
