8 Friends

It wasn't until after dinner that Zach came to an end to his story, which had lasted all afternoon. Benjamin's first day back was wasted catching up. Well, it can't be said to be wasteful, Grande is too active, and one thing sounds like a story, just in time for Alpha to eat.

And I have to say that the conversation between these two guys is that of vampires and werewolves, so, probably, perhaps...... It's not the same as what we humans focus on in the story, or how we perceive the events.

For example, when Zach talks about Herman's luncheon at Liszt Mansion, he mentions Lip, and he says, "Actually, I should have thought earlier, the legend is that after breaking the boundary between reality and illusion, Dream Demons are no longer bound by world time, and they will always exist ...... higher reality"

"What is higher than is detachment. Benjamin corrected.

"Yes, it's detachment. Zach continued, "They are in a state of detachment from reality, and when he frequently gives things that are similar to foreknowledge and have not yet appeared, I should guess that he is not a creature of the real world. Zach pouted, "And there aren't many of them, I should think it's a dream demon." ”

"You really should. Benjamin had a look of reminiscence, "I remember that Mrs. White once gave you the nickname 'Dream' on the roster of Sibella, and that Barton had a dream demon that we had known for a long time. ”

"You reminded me of that. Zach raised an eyebrow, "Silkbella and Lip are probably friends as well, Lip will come to inform me about the future, and he will probably inform Silkbella." ...... then," Zach's eyebrows kept rising, "Is there something that Silbella is preparing for these things......

"Focus. Benjamin reminded, "And then, you dreamed at Herman's luncheon and saw Lip. And then?'I've experienced the effects of 'Valmina', and I won't let you dream honestly, tell me, what did you do at the luncheon??" Benjamin asked in an expectant tone, hehe, let's skip the part that embarrassed Zack.

Another example. When Zach said of Sharp Manor, he said of Riley, "I don't think Madison knows anything about Riley, what she really is. When Zach said this, he was a little helpless, "In Madison's view, Riley is just a Barton woman with the same experience and the same work situation. Maybe Maddie thought Riley was his friend. ”

"There's nothing wrong with that, it's a fact that they're going through similar experiences. Benjamin was distracted, "Speaking of Urban Legends, I haven't made up for the two issues I missed. Send it to me in the evening. ”

Another example,......

An afternoon passed.

Benjamin was still in the hammock, tending to his plate, "You've said a lot. "If you listen to a lot of stories, you will get tired of it," you missed something we didn't solve before I left. Did the guy who sent you the letter find it? Also, are you allowed not to tell me who that guy in the guest room is? ”

Yes. Zach spent an afternoon speaking all the time. There's Boyson, there's 'Valmina', there's Bishop, there's Herman, there's Lola, there's the five West End thirds, there's Quinn, there's Smith, there's Emilia, there's Molman, there's Riley, there's ...... But, perfectly avoided 'Brian'. Just when Zach thought he had succeeded and would not be brought up, Benjamin asked.

"Hehehe. "After a dry laugh of unknown meaning," his name was Brian. It's the one who wrote the letter. ”

"So you've found him, and there won't be any more inexplicable letters. Benjamin glanced at Zach, "He slept all day, what did you do to him." ”

"Well......" Zach's face was embarrassed, "Actually." He's been sleeping for three days. "So after Emilia left, Brian never woke up!

"Ugh. Do you want to explain? Benjamin asked, frowning.

"Of course it will be explained. Zach pursed the corners of his mouth and looked back at Grande's back porch, it was already dusk before nightfall, and the 'General' came out of the basement and looked at Zack with a nervous face. Because Corson is coming.

Zach turned his head and looked at Benjamin, his face without expression, "Brian's situation has something to do with Ian." I don't really want to mention it when he ...... "means 'general,'" while he was there. ”

Benjamin looked sideways, glanced at Zack, probably guessed something, and suddenly crooked the corners of his mouth and smiled, "You're quite sweet." ”

You should be able to understand that the General and Ian have in common - they are both descendants of Zach's reluctance. It's not good to talk about the mistakes of one person while the other is around.

Zach shook his head expressionlessly, and stood up without responding, "Okay, let's talk about it next time, Curson is coming, and I have to prepare." ”

Benjamin stuffed the empty plate with Zack and sent it back to the kitchen, and he really didn't ask any more questions, they were all caring guys.

Directly pulled up the 'General' on the back porch, put down Benjamin's empty plate in the kitchen, and casually asked Matthew, who was helping Alice clean up, "Matthew, how is the 'General', is it easy to teach?" Didn't you say at noon, the historical knowledge of werewolves and vampires is taught by Matthew.

"It's okay, it's okay. Matthew is honest, "but most of the time he's looking elsewhere, and I don't know if he's listening." ”

"'General'?" Zach raised an eyebrow.

"I'm listening! I'm a good hearing, not only did I hear that there were werewolves with Gangaro's blood, but I also heard how many things had happened to Grande at Barton!" It was no surprise that the 'General' had eavesdropped on Zack and Benjamin's conversation......

Zach chuckled twice, but didn't respond.

When he got to the office, Zach asked the 'General' to sit honestly, and then dialed No's number. Passed.

"I think at this time, you should be at home. Zach opened his mouth with a smile.

"Yes. No's voice sounded a little tired, "I'm getting ready to go to [Bobo]. "On Sunday nights, the gathering of the gray professional circles.

"I think so, but we Grande may not be able to go today, and I called you to ask for a leave. ”

"Oh, you don't have to ask me for leave, it's just a party. Noh replied flatly.

Do you feel that the opening scene of these two people is a bit raw, there is no one, 'You are my friend.' I'm your friend's feeling. It doesn't matter, it's a fact, after Zach took the 'General', Noh never contacted Zach again.

Zach still smiled, but his eyes were a little blank. What we can feel, how can a vampire not feel. "Benjamin is back, but he's coming back a little, well, tortuous, and he doesn't want to move for the time being, so he won't go tonight. ”

Nou was silent for a moment, and Zach's words were all like this, "Benjamin, yes." Are you alright?"

"He's good. Zach glanced at the General, "I can't go because I arranged for the General to meet with one of the police detectives." Oh, and the 'General' has been doing well lately, too. ”

There was silence on the other side of the receiver for a while, "Is that Detective Cosen?" ”

Don't be surprised that No's informant knows who the 'General' is, the friendship between the 'General' and No's is much deeper than Zach's.

"Yes. Zach held the earpiece and nodded, "Someone has to deal with things in the southeast, and the police are the most suitable." ”

"I agree. "This time it's fast. Noh sighed, as if he had lost some emotion. He spoke much more smoothly, "I've been trying to investigate the situation in the southeast for the past few days, and I have almost no ......"

"No. Zach frowned, "You shouldn't have taken the risk, the situation between you and the 'General' was ...... before" Zach wanted to remind Nuo that Nuo had been forced to the point where he had no way out. Before I turned to Zack, a vampire, I should be fully aware of the danger.

"Don't worry. Anyway, it was a situation of interrupting each other, Nuo's tone was a little irritated, "We were chased before mainly because of the 'general', and they wanted to kill them. After you took the 'General', I didn't have a big target, and besides, some of my other friends were free to help me, so I wasn't in any danger. ”

Nou's friend, someone from the security company. Zach may not be able to think of it now, but we should be able to, and after Zach closed up at Bishop Manor, the security company was withdrawn by Bishop's prosecution.

Zach pursed his lips on the phone, "That's fine, I'll leave the rest to ......" Zach wanted to say his own, but in an instant, this became, "'General' himself." Zach laughed, his tone much more relaxed, "No, you don't know how annoying this guy is here every day shouting for revenge, making those people pay, taking back his things." ”

Regardless of the 'General' with a gloomy face at the desk, No, who was in the earpiece, also smiled, "Sounds like he said, hehe, okay, I can't help much anyway." By the way, Smith recently got in touch with me again......"

It's not an interruption, it's Nuo who silenced himself.

Zach also frowned again, "Is Smith still pursuing Boyson's Valmina commission?" This matter was actually completely interrupted, and with the escape of Nuo and the 'general' began, Nuo's original work was completely shelved.

"Not really. No's tone was a little strange, "I haven't reciprocated to him since that time, and he should know that there is no progress on my side." But now he's asking me to deal with another thing, saying it's a related commission. Norpause paused, "There was a fire in one of Smith's warehouses in Massa Harbor, and it's been on the news these days, have you heard of it?" ”

Zach tugged at the corners of his mouth, "What does Smith want?"

No, who didn't get a direct answer, obviously understood this matter Zach not only knew, but also Zack was involved in the interracial incident, "There are two detectives, Curson and Lance, acquaintances. It is conceivable that Nuo shook his head on the other side of the phone, "I've been investigating around Smith's warehouse these days, and apparently Smith feels that this has affected one of his industries, and is also worried that the two of them have really found something." ”

"Smith said honestly, the cause of the fire was that he ordered the people under the warehouse to study 'Valmina' and try to replicate it, and it may have been an accident that caused the fire. Now that the fire has been described as a terrorist attack by the police and the media, Smith commissioned me to create a spot that would match the signs of an attack and send out two detectives. ”

Zach raised an eyebrow, "Your firm, still has this kind of business?"

"Yes. Nuo replied bluntly, "In addition to finding pets and spying on spouses, there are also such businesses." Do you have any advice, Smith said 'accident', I'm afraid you know the truth. ”

Too blunt, making Zach frown again, "I know. "Zach really didn't want to give Noh any advice if he could.

Is No, a person who thinks about what other people want to suggest? The subject is still a Grande who he knows that the professional skills of the gray profession are very poor.

So, Zach really didn't want to continue the conversation.

But, "It has to do with a deceased member of Grande, and Barton's demons are involved." No, you don't have to do anything, let the demons deal with it. Expect ......," Zach shook his head, "The General's side will be able to distract the two detectives as well. ”

"I see. Nuo replied calmly, just to make him laugh, in vain, "Is there anything else, it's not too early, I'm going to leave for [Bobo]." ”

Zach shook his head, not in response to the question in the earpiece, but just an expression of emotion. The response to the words in the earpiece was a voice with a smile on its face, "The 'General' has something to say. Zach handed the earpiece.

"No!" When the 'General' grabbed the earpiece and spoke, Zach had already stood up and left his desk, not in a good mood, not wanting to stay here and continue listening.

It was childish, unless he ran to Route 27 and heard the excited shouts of the 'General'. Sorry, it's an exaggeration, but you get the idea.

Zach opened the door to the east side of his office and walked up the second-story staircase corridor against the south wall of the exhibition hall, his fingers casually tapping over the guardrail, looking down at the open exhibition hall.

"Spread the news! No! Deliver the message to our people, I'm still alive!" "Our people?" the gray professionals in [Bobo Bar], "Usually, I didn't help them do less! This time it's time for them to help me! Release the news, I'm going to take revenge! If they still want me, the guy who has someone to do some dirty things for them at any time, come back to me! Whatever they do, get me some movement! I, the 'General'! I want to come back!"

Zach glanced sideways at the 'General' who was yelling in the office and pouted. That's what our vampire thinks, and it's good to leave it to Curson for a while.

Let those gray professionals make some noise, hehe. Old Hank, as I once put it bluntly, what a pathetic group of people who survive in the cracks of Barton's true black and white.

The vampire 'general', who is already a descendant of Zach, is wasting his humanity. Because no matter how Nuo, the true friend of the 'general' answers, the 'general' will be disappointed in the future. (To be continued.) )
