4 Non-existent delegations
It's been a long time since he's driven Grande's van, but Zach isn't as relaxed as ever, steering wheel in one hand and radio in the other. When it seems that nothing is interesting, I keep changing the channel.
Zach stopped.
Because there is a person on the side of the road, well, it is not a person, there is a mirror man. Dee Dee was wearing a housewife outfit and slowly moved along the road with a silent expression, and saw Zach stop, looking blankly at the vampire who poked his head out.
"Deedie?" Zach frowned, "What are you doing?"
Dee Dee looked at Zack for a while, and did something inexplicable and shy - she pulled off her clothes and was on the side of the road, exposing her body to the vampire!
The flowing mirror, like mercury, replaces what should be skin. Under Didi's clothes, the human skin has disappeared.
Zach pursed his lips, "Put down your clothes, Dee, self-respect." ”
"Nick is dead, and the real Dee Dee has started a new life. I'm going to die. Didi slowly put down the clothes he had lifted, "What else do you have to do?" ”
Zach shook his head, not knowing what to say, "What should you be going home to, what are you dangling on the way?"
"Didn't you make me my own? Didi's eyes were indifferent, "I don't want to die in someone else's (the real Didi's) house, but as Didi, I have nowhere to go." She looked blankly to the left and right, "Just here, there is just no one, and it won't scare anyone." The voice was lowered, "It's just gone, as if it didn't exist at all." ”
There are really no people in this vicinity, and there are no farmers, because it is close to the Allen funeral home, and it is a place for people to deal with the aftermath, after all, it is unlucky, and so is Grande, and the nearest neighbor is the Church of the Holy Son.
Zach frowned, still not knowing what to say, and resumed exercising.
After a while, Zach stopped the car again and looked helplessly in the rearview mirror, "Didi, what are you doing with me?"
"I changed my mind. Without hurry, the mirror man walked under the car window and looked at Zack, "You asked me to be my own, and now I'm going to die if I do my own, let you see the end of it, and tell you the results of giving life advice to others casually." ”
Zach opened his mouth and looked at the mirror man, and a crack stretched up from the inside of the other housewife's suit, past the neck, and up and down the chin. With a slight cracking sound, skin-like things shattered, peeled, and dissipated into the air.
"Do you want me to watch you die?" Zach crooked.
The mirror man didn't speak, went around the front of the car, spoke with action, and knocked on the passenger door.
Zack was helpless, opened the door, watched the mirror man with peeling skin on one side get into the car, and sat in the passenger seat, "Where are you going?" is dying, this guy is so curious about where Zack is going, and his heart is really big enough.
"Alan. Zach pouted, replied, and moved on.
"They're going to sell, is it true? ”
"You shouldn't speak, your, skin, is shattering at an accelerated rate. Zach pouted and glanced at the mirror man as the rift continued, "I just decided not to sell it today." Again, the question answered.
"So what are you doing here, does Grande want to buy it?" Mirror Man didn't listen, and seemed to be completely prepared to ignore any opinion of Zach.
"It's not. Zach shook his head, not wanting to explain this inheritance too clearly, as well as the purpose of his trip, because looking at the reality and explaining, the other party may not be able to hear the end, in that way, the last Zach will only get a kind of frustration of talking to the air.
Jingren also seemed to be self-aware, so he didn't ask, and sighed inexplicably, "It's a pity, I haven't received a reply from "Urban Legends" yet, and my questions haven't been answered yet." ”
Zach glanced at the man, and half of his face was gone, which was quite terrifying. I don't want to give the other person a reason to continue talking.
"You know, I'm a little disappointed. "But there's really no way to stop a dying man from wanting to speak," I thought this week's urban legend, the pill, would write my story. ”
Zach pursed his lips. Indeed, Zach thought so, but Madison wrote the story of the Kraken, about a group of sea creatures dressed in human skins who took over a manor. (Zach asks Sbella to find Lylie to raise the Siren.) End of the last volume)
Zach asked Madison, and Madison replied that his submission to the story of the South Side was returned, and the editorial office said that the South End was not an urban ...... Then he hurriedly wrote this story that Lylie told him.
The point is not the sadness of the Southsiders, but the restoration of Madison and Lylie's friendship.
The mirror man raised her half-split eyebrows, "Who is the medicine? Is it you? I'm going to die anyway, tell me it doesn't matter." ”
"Madison. Zach replied dryly.
"The one from the mill?" Mirror Man seemed surprised, "We met a few times before Nick was cremated, he's a human." "I don't forget the cooperation between the mill and the police, so Nick's body was thrown to the mill for disposal.
"He has special abilities. Zach frowned.
"Oh. Jingren seemed to be uninterested, "I knew it was him, how convenient it was to ask him directly if I had a question, it was a waste of me writing so many letters." ”
Zach was quite helpless, "Have you written him a lot?"
"yes. Kagami nodded, "But he doesn't always reply." "A little upset," asked him about Grande's details, and he didn't reply, but he replied if he looked for questions in his story. Hmph, what a cautious guy. ”
Zach looked at the mirror man and was speechless. Forget it, let her 'go' in a relaxed way, "What do you usually ask him in your letter?"
"Yes. Think about it. Jingren actually thought about it seriously, "For example, that 'general', you don't seem to care much about him, so why did you let him become your descendant, do you have any plans?"
"Not at all, it was just a mistake to save his life. "Zach told the truth, and there was no need to lie now. That's right.
"Oh. The voice shuddered for a moment, the last piece of skin peeled off and shattered, and a stack of clothes fell unsupported on the passenger seat, "What the hell is going on in Rivench." He hadn't written it, and Silbella had never told it, and I was just curious. "From now on, this voice can only be heard by other races.
Zach looked at the mirror man who was slowly fading in mercury and losing his body, "Become Papa's midnight alpha." "The car pulled over to the side of the road and Alan arrived.
When I got out of the car, although there were people in uniform walking around, no one came to pick them up.
The layout here is very similar to that of the Grande, after all, it used to be the property of the city government, and the structure is similar, except that the Grande is the place where the warehouse is located in the south, and it has been replaced by a bungalow with a chimney, which should be the place where the cremation incinerator is located.
"The woman from the republic is ......" The mirror man floating beside Zach interrupted himself, and his voice was self-deprecating, "I don't think I have enough time to satisfy my curiosity, let's talk casually." ”
Zach didn't reply, nothing to talk about will have a good ending, let the other party follow. As the mirror man said, let Zach see the end.
Anyway, no one greeted him, and Zach walked into Allen's funeral home by himself. The interior layout is completely different from that of the Grande. With the exception of one office, it seems that all the places have been converted into living quarters. This makes the Allen family, big.
"You're here. Alan appeared on the stairs and looked down at Zach, "That's what I think is professional." "There's even mockery.
Zach didn't respond, looking left and right, looking for the stairs to go upstairs. It's not that I don't want to, it's that by Allen's side, there is a groundbinder who keeps hating and hideous, and is the one who dances his teeth and claws at Allen.
Do you wonder why there is no Cerberus to drag this thing away? No, Eren is the territory of the saint Sissi, this is the gesture of the fallen angel Crowley.
However, looking at the face of that accountant, there will probably be no angel to take him to heaven, probably the fate that will eventually disappear.
"It's not a Grande specialty. Zach found the stairs, but didn't go because Alan came down, "It's the profession of the older generation." "For Allen, Zach has nothing to be vague about, remember, this guy has personally been to Grande's office, back then, when Grande first appeared in the South End, he once said that he didn't expect that the former Grande would develop into what he is now in the funeral industry. Obviously, he knew what Grande had been up to, and he had thought that Grande would not pose any threat to his funeral business.
"You're still here, that is, you've taken over the majors of the previous generation. "Alan is also unambiguous," the restaurant. ”
Zack motioned for the other to lead the way, raised his hand, and scattered the Earthbound Spirit attached to Eren's back. But after a while, the guy regrouped, became a little more transparent, and glared at Zach.
What can Zach do, ignoring the pass, the other party disperses again. Zach was kindly reminding the groundbound spirit that vampires weren't for soul aliens. The other party, the newborn earth bonder, can't accept it, so it's none of Zack's business.
"You put the body in the freezer. Although it is a declarative sentence, Zach is questioning, not the facts, and questioning the state of Alan's personality when he sees the humanoid plastic bag in the refrigerator.
"Otherwise, where to put it, moving out will be seen by employees. "Alan is very calm.
Zach pursed his lips, "The problem is still there, you expect me to get this thing away?"
"You're asking me?" Alan stared at Zach.
Zach shook his head and casually looked around the cafeteria, presumably to save face, "You missed the blood under the carpet." ”
Alan frowned, left the open refrigerator alone, walked to the dining table, lifted the carpet, and sure enough, the dark red blood stains were still a little wet.
Zach stared at the contents of the refrigerator and folded his arms, "Are you going to tell me how this happened?" ”
"Are you a police detective or a 'clean-up'?" was asked, but not dryly, Alan took gloves and cleaning supplies from the kitchen, half-knelt on the ground and began to expunge the incriminating evidence.
"You entrusted me, didn't you. Zach wasn't in a hurry, "You want this thing to go away, don't you, knowing what happened will help me make this thing go away." "It's like the blood stains mixed with foam under the carpet that has been lifted now. Zach has a point.
"It was supposed to be a lunch. Alan was silent for a moment before speaking, "Following your prompt, I have found a problem with the accounts, and I am going to ask it at lunch so that he can confess to me." ”
The regrouped Earthbound Spirit failed to continue to disturb anyone, and he was entangled by the vanishing Mirror Man. He may have seen a 'species' different from his own, stiffly suspended in the dining room, allowing the mirror man to shuttle his body at will.
Zach raised an eyebrow, "You're hurt." The disgust for the blood of the deceased made Zach block his senses a little, and now that he had been in contact with Alan for a while, he found something, "It's not light. ”
Alan stopped cleaning and looked at Zach with a frown, "He stabbed me." His eyes pointed to his left shoulder with some confusion, "I reacted quickly, and then returned the knife." ”
"Are you telling me that this is actually justified self-defense?" Zach asked.
"Does that make sense? Alan continued to scrub the floor, "I've figured out all the possibilities for things to turn out, Alan Funeral can't survive this kind of thing, I just have some hope that I can leave this property behind." ”
Zach actually nodded, Alan is right, even if it is defense, it is excessive, Alan can't escape responsibility, there is more scandal in the funeral home, not to mention leaving this property, even if it is sold in the end, what good price will it be sold here. This is a very realistic consideration.
So, with Zach here now.
"Well, I guess there are a number of witnesses who know you're having lunch together. Zach pouted, exaggerating, just talking about the employees here. Then he pointed to the guy in the fridge, "Did anyone see this guy leave?" ”
Alan frowned, lowered his head and wiped the floor without looking at Zack, "No." ”
"I'm here to explain that you're closing the sale lane, and I, as a colleague and the most likely buyer, have come to ask for details. Zach began to understand that Alan in front of him was indeed very well considered, "But, how do you expect me to get those outside employees to accept that this guy is leaving with me." "And how do you explain that I still carried such a thing out." ”
"Why are you still asking me?" Alan was impatient, "I gave you a job, get it done!"
Zach shook his head helplessly, and began to think seriously, after all, he couldn't let this commission be done too vampire-like in front of the client, "Do you have a way to get those employees to leave?" ”
"No, some of the employees live here. ”
"Does anyone know what happened at lunch?" "Does Eren have accomplices?"
"Nope. Alan shook his head impatiently, "I still want to give him some face, after all, it is an old man who has worked with our Alan family for decades, and no one disturbs us for lunch." I. He paused, "I'll get lunch ready and let him resign and let him go." ”
Sounds like a tragedy.
Zach inevitably noticed the mirror man's side.
The fading mercury mirror is returning, and the sporadic skin tones are turning out of the mirror body that has begun to gather again in human form.
Like what? Well, like a mirror in a deep corridor, from the deepest part of the corridor, a person walked out.
Zach raised an eyebrow and touched his chin.
"He lost his loyalty. "Mirror Man, speak, it's not Didi," I picked it up. ”
Allen, who looked down, looked up, as if he was startled by the sudden voice, "You, you ......" was completely frightened when he saw the naked person in his restaurant, and looked at the refrigerator, where the body bag was still there, "......"
Brush!
Zach ripped off the tablecloth and put it on his shoulder, then dragged out the contents of the refrigerator and carried it on his shoulder.
I also casually knocked over the refrigerator, food, ice cubes, and scattered them all over the place. Success shifted Allen's horrified gaze to himself, to be specific, a pair of red eyes.
"Alan, I'm disappointed. Zach spoke, "I'm very sincere in buying you Allen, and you're telling me not to sell it now?" What Zach was saying, "The South End is just so big, do you have to be my competitor, hehe, whatever you want." ”
walked towards Allen, who was stunned, cut his fingers, and poked him twice in the mouth, "If you want to play like this, then I'll play with you like this, I'm not a generous person." He also lifted the table and kicked the carpet by the way.
Glancing at the naked mirror man, Zach pursed his lips and continued to look at Allen, "Mr. Accountant, you are going to continue to waste time here, ask this guy who fired you for a second chance, or be conscious, save your face, and leave it." ”
For those shrouded in crimson, the true memories have been falsely concealed. Begin to look at the clear gaze, glancing in his own restaurant.
Yes, even the real scene has been covered up - there is a mess in the restaurant.
The mirror man glanced at the Earthbound Spirit, which was exactly the same as himself, and by the way, his whole body was now flickering in surprise, as if it would collapse and dissipate at any moment.
"I guess I'll live two more days. The mirror man spoke, "I'll help you one more time." ”
"Please. ”
Yes, the commission is over. But don't expect to receive the money because it never existed. (To be continued.) )
