23 Newton's Division of Labor
"What a convenient ability to receive human desires. Wes sighed inexplicably, as if he was envious of the Phantom's abilities...... Wes suddenly looked at James, "You weren't trying hard enough. ”
What the?
James was stunned for a moment, then immediately jumped up from his chair again and turned to Richie, "Say!Who is your client!!"
Rich's face changed slightly, and he resisted, "You two Detective Patton, you don't have the right to interrogate me......"
"Who's going to interrogate you!" James approached. Rarely, the tacit understanding between Detective Patton finally returned, "I want to know the name of the client! now!
Richie began to adjust his posture in his office chair.
"James. Wes's face was calm, "Think about all the grievances you've been with Zach, those emotions, use." ”
As soon as this remark came out.
The world in the eyes of the phantom man was swallowed up. The whole world is left with only James and the darkness that erupts from James......
"XX Martin, address xxx, phone xxxx. ”
The world is back to the way it was.
Wes, "Thanks for the cooperation. Pulling James down, "Let's go." ”
Richie, slumped in his office chair with a forced expression on his face.
Leaving the office, Wes and James saw Zach waiting outside.
To be honest, Zach was a little embarrassed. Who would have thought that ~ he gave James such a powerful grievance.
However, since Zach really didn't want to talk to James, he could only say to Wes, "Awesome." ”
Wes was also a little embarrassed, "You heard that." ”
"Yes, I hear you. Zach glanced at James, didn't speak, and continued with Weis, "Are you going to find this Martin now?" ”
"Yes. Wess nodded, "Didn't he commission Mr. Rich with other things, we need to gather some evidence that would allow the Newton police to intervene or something." ”
"Then there's the confrontation between personal desires and Newton's enforcers' desires. Zach revealed Wes's plan.
Wes nodded again, looked at Zach, then at the office behind him, and didn't speak.
Zach understood what Wes meant, "Go ahead, I'm here." ”
Nothing more to say, the two detectives left, and Zach entered the office.
Zach directly confronted the phantom Richie's exclamation, "Hey, human. ”
"Yes, human. Zach agreed, pouting, "I guess there's no reason for me to blame James for plotting against me now, right, after all, I would have wronged him like this...... Heaviness. "Break through the resistance of the phantom in an instant and make your desires come true, isn't it?
"Hmph, heavily, you're still too understated, none of the dying people have such a strong desire to survive. Richie waved his hand, "But I really want to praise that Detective Wes, his understanding of aliens is really beyond the ordinary." I actually know how to use emotions to supplement desires, and instantly pour in to control my consciousness. ”
"Yes, yes. Zach agreed, looking at the strange, "But it's also average, the humans in the west have this level of alien cognition, and Grande also accepted the humans who insisted on burial in order to delay the existence of the Earth Bound Spirit some time ago." "Yes, that's the Hannah brothers and sisters," the human beings in the west generally have a higher understanding of the world than we in the east and the center. ”
Richie was thoughtful, but Zach wasn't here to discuss the cultural differences between the West and the rest of the Federation with the Phantoms, but, "Are you angry, I'll tell the two detectives about your commission." ”
Needless to say, the Phantom Richie knew why these two guys were here the moment James and Wes came in - Zach made a small report.
Richie shook his head, "Not really, I don't have anything to hide. "Truth be told, everyone knows about Grande's tangled relationship with the two detectives, and if Richie wants to hide that he's deliberately leaking my inhuman information to his client, he shouldn't show that fact in front of Zack.
Zach nodded, expected, "You asked me how Grande was positioned at Barton, and my answer, although it was true, was not the whole story. "Zach is going to make up for the advice I've missed?" I didn't choose what kind of commission I would take on, but at least I knew what I was going to achieve when I took over. ”
Richie was humble, "Like?"
"For example. Zach didn't give a special example, but only said a very specific example, "The client's commission is to kill someone, and when the commission is delivered, no one may die at all." In the end, I decide the result of the commission to the client. ”
Richie frowned and looked at Zach, "How can that be considered a completed commission, and the customer will be satisfied?"
"So far, I'm very satisfied. Zach has the capital to say such things, "and at the same time, the police are satisfied. "Continuing with targeted examples, "For example, the police are not satisfied with your entrustment in the fish market, right, there is one more case that cannot be solved." Zach saw that Richie was thinking, so he pushed forward, "I can satisfy society because I give everyone a way to accept the picture of the event." But you, society as a whole is not satisfied. The unnatural deaths of Xiaobai before, at least most of them occurred in the homes of individuals, at night, when the organs decided to 'sleep', now happened in Newton, where there are rare and crowded public places. Do you think a society made up of humans will be happy with this reality?"
Richie's brow furrowed a little.
"We really don't have to choose who is here to commission, and we don't have a problem building our own customer base. Because we are alien races beyond ordinary people, we have the ability to do things beyond ordinary people's imagination in this world. Zach shook his head, "But the difference between your firm and Grande now is that I can be satisfied with all the forces involved in the commission, the police, the government, the humans, and the aliens. And you, only satisfy the personal desires of one customer. ”
Zach looked at the phantom, "When it comes to desire, no one has a say better than you. Don't you feel that you are insulted by a single desire in such an event? ”
"Tsk. Phantom Richie made an infrasound, and after a brief self-examination, he looked at Zack, "It was an insult to be asked by James Lance about the customer information I should keep confidential. ”
Zach didn't refute, but went one step further, "Then you have to be prepared for the same insult to happen in the future." ”
Rich frowned again, "What do you mean?" James is going to do this again??
"Sooner or later, your customers will find out that they can abuse your methods. Zach shrugged.
Richie waved his hand, "No way, I didn't tell those clients what I was, they just needed to know that I wasn't human, that I had the power to do inhuman things, and that they would come and give me the mandate." "Reasonable, after all, there is no definition of 'phantom' in the dictionary. For ordinary people, inhuman beings are enough to summarize all non-human creatures with human faces.
"You're not Newton's only alien, are you. Zach kindly reminded, "Citizens of Newton who are angels can go to heaven." The Black Witch was telling the students that there was something in this world that transcended human rules, such as witchcraft. And you, indiscriminately, satisfy people's desires in this world before they go to heaven. Zach stretched out his hands, "No one needs to know what you are, humans just need to know what you're for." ”
After such a description, the city of Newton, does not look a little ...... It's dangerous. There is no hurry, the more dangerous ones are still to come.
"Then, you'll also have to face the vampires of the Feast. Here we do not discuss the restraint of vampires against soul aliens. Let's just talk about sociality - what kind of people will be raised in the western society established by the Demon Banquet. Zach pointed to the door, signaling to Detective Wes, who had left not long ago, using James and his knowledge of the alien race to force the phantom man, "Refro has settled in this city, how do you avoid the cognitive impact of the Demon Feast vampires on the humans of this city?"
Phantom Richie frowned, so tight that the skin in the center of his eyebrows began to shatter under the inhuman force, revealing a little bit of colorful brilliance, which was unexpectedly beautiful......
Richie was silent for a long time, and suddenly looked up, looked at Zach, and had an epiphany, "It's over." ”
Zach pursed his lips.
Richie continued, "I can now imagine a future where I will be kept in captivity by a gang of villains and used as a tool for their selfish desires. ”
Richie was also too passive, and Zach waved his hand speechlessly, "If it continues like this, this will probably become a reality." ”
"What should I do?" Richie lowered his head, his expression was not good, in the situation he could expect, he deduced from the nature of a phantom person, and he could not see the positive side, "I am a phantom person, and the meaning of my existence is to deal with desires. Continued pessimism, "It was inevitable that I would become an instrument of desire." ”
"Why did you cede the entire city when the demon appeared in Newton?" Zach wanted to reinvigorate Richie's former city lordship.
"For the devil in the faith of the Lord is sinful. Richie shook his head, "I didn't even need to imagine that the devil would make this a place where evil entrenched. And I can't control the city in that situation. The essence of the problem is that he is a phantom, "Either I ruin this city, or the devil ruins this city." My decision was that as long as it wasn't me. ”
"Now you need the same idea. Zach looked at Richie, "As long as it's not you, it's enough to ruin the balance of the city." ”
Richie looked at Zach, "I can't be like your Grand, to satisfy everyone in one event, I'm not Toredo, you control the human heart, the human heart, can be molded into anything." And the desires I receive, the desires, don't turn. ”
Zach nodded, not a consolation to inform the facts, "Just like the conversation I had with Wes just now, you don't have to let the desires turn, you just need to put all kinds of desires together and let the desires collide with each other." "Newton police, and the desires of the illegal commissioner.
Richie blinked, "So, I can't even submit a satisfactory result for the client's commission, and the consequence of letting desires collide with each other is that no one's desires will be satisfied with me." Then why do I still open this office?"
Zach was genuinely speechless now, "Uh, are you short of money? Do you expect this firm to make money?"
Richie was stunned for a moment, and the phantom person's emotional jump was also incomprehensible, "Isn't your Grande making money?"
"Earn. Zach pouted, "But at least I'm going to raise a bunch of humans, do you have any humans to raise?"
"Nope. Richie pursed his lips, "Then I have one more question." How do I have my customer base if I can't deliver satisfactory results to my clients?"
"Uh, seriously. I've been in Newton for the fourth day. Zach looked at Richie very sincerely, "I don't know how you entrusted the project site to dispose of the corpse, but the two of your customers I see here don't seem to be admirers." Zach also paused deliberately, "It was sent by an angel." ”
Richie glanced at his lips at a certain frequency, "The commission of the construction site is that the office is located here, and the foreman came in to give it a try." ”
So, to sum it up, Zach, "You see, you have a steady source of customers, people who have been promised by the angels that they will go to heaven no matter what, and they have a constant supply of energy to supply and entrust here. Zach pointed in the direction of the project, "And those commissions that you have unintentionally and intentionally come in here, you just happen to have completed them seriously." ”
No matter what everyone thinks, at least the corpse dumping case at the construction site, the witness evidence that Phantom Richie asked the black witch Yuehua to send to the police is real. To put it more broadly, it means that you have made the right contribution to society, and it is definitely not the kind of person who kills people in public, is it?
Rich began to think, "You mean, my firm doesn't really need a good reputation, do you?" ”
Zach nodded, looked back at the two angels behind him very spiritually, and asked, "Does Richie need to build a responsive reputation among the citizens of Newton?"
The two angels didn't expect to be drawn into the conversation, and after Zach asked, they looked at each other, and then their eyes glowed golden, apparently to contact Crowley.
Quite quickly, Crowley's answer came. An angel spoke earnestly to Richie the Phantom, "You don't need to. All of Newton's souls are ours. You don't need to satisfy any of their desires in this world, let them build a sense of belonging to this world, and they will have nothing to do with this world after entering heaven anyway. ”
Zach listened to this answer and looked back at Richie, "Look. The essential reason why the angels introduce you to the commission is that they do not care about the soul's experience in this world. In other words, the angel Crowley did not care at all about the teachings of the Holy Lord's faith on mankind, she only cared about the soul to heaven. So, the angels don't care about what human beings have lived in this world, the right things, the wrong things, they don't care. So when someone says he's a murderer in the confessional room, the pastor can calmly say, 'You're redeemed,' "Because they don't care, they're sending these people who are still in need in this world." ”
Zach shrugged, "I think you can form a team or something, this division of labor, how good." ”
