Chapter 25: The Basement of the Grande
On the second floor of the Grande House, Zach's room is the largest. &. {23} This used to be the old Grande living room, which Zach inherited. It's just that Zach rarely uses it, he has a basement, so this room becomes Grande's public entertainment room, because the only TV is here.
Louise originally lived here, but was 'disliked' by old Hank, who often watched TV, so she occupied a new room. Fortunately, Grande has a lot of rooms, and after learning about Old Hank's personality, Louise doesn't mind, but no one comes to disturb her at any time, and she is more free.
Now everyone at the Grande House is sitting here, with tapes on the floor strewn with various covers, and the lights on the TV are on. Benjamin frowned and hooked his finger at Matthew, who was almost on the screen, presumably to educate the young wolf about his hiding knowledge.
Because after all, it is the layout of the bedroom, there is no sofa here, everyone is sitting on the edge of the bed, Matthew's position is vacant, Mike just wanted to fill it, but was glared at by old Hank, honestly nested in the back.
Zach pursed his lips, Mike was lucky, every time he came to Grande, Grande could have something new for him to play with, but I don't know if this guy would be bored in the next few days.
Zach didn't bother the people watching the movie and walked to Louise's room. Danny is also in the ranks of watching movies, so Louise, who went to visit clients in the morning, should also be back.
Pushing open the door to Louise's room, the beautiful woman was sitting cross-legged on the bed, the paper was laid out in front of her, but her posture was really not very pretty, frowning intently, uh, pinching her heels.
Zach's voice alarmed Louise, and she quickly sat down, looking embarrassed to be discovered.
Zach smiled and walked next to her, pulling her ankles. Fingers rubbed sensitively, "This way I'm much more balanced." ”
Louise smiled and pushed Zack away, of course she knew what Zack was talking about, but a woman's heart to maintain her image is heavier than that of a man, and Louise is not ready to completely give up her image like Zack.
"I used to be able to wear high heels all day. As if complaining, Louise winked at Zach. "I'm getting lazy here. ”
Zach raised an eyebrow, "Really, then we need to exercise more......"
Louise pushed Zack away again, glared at Zack with a smile, "Work!" Louise pointed to Wen Jiàn in front of her, "Dylan's funeral, we have to prepare!"
Zach picked up a piece of paper at random, Louise's handwriting was beautiful, and it neatly and clearly listed the requirements of Dylan's family. The vampire was a little surprised, "Who's going to pay for this funeral?"
Although Zach knew that the income from Dylan's janitor job was definitely above the Barton citizen average. But as far as he could see, except for the absence of such an exaggerated thing as Gabriel's statue, everything from the grooming of the body to the selection of coffins and cemeteries was very high-standard.
"Smith. Louise shrugged, "His mother sued me that because Dylan had an accident at work, Smith paid for the entire cost. Louise dotted her finger on the paper, "These were actually the ones Smith asked to add. ”
Louise picked up another piece of paper. "They also asked us to come and book the church, which I have already visited. The request was given to the priest. Louise had a look of disappointment on her face, apparently aware of the changes in the Church of the Child.
Zach picked up the church arrangement, Louise drew a simple seating map, Zach looked at the names that were not stuffed between the seats, and raised an eyebrow, "These are Dylan's relatives and friends?"
Louise tilted her head sideways. "It was also added by Smith's people. ”
Zach shook his head helplessly, this is Dylan's funeral or Smith's, however, Smith will use this opportunity to make some formalities, so that some people can see that it is understandable.
"Where's Dylan?" Zach put the paper down in his hand. No interest.
"Basement. Louise replied, then blinked, "Both are in the basement." "Laugh," Danny said. ”
The meaning of the two is a horrific corpse that needs extra repair, and a dead soul that does not have a sense of zài, everyone knows.
Zach sighed, stood up, and left the room with a helpless look at Louise.
Grande's direct internal staircase leads down to Zack's exclusive bedroom and storage room, and Zach walks up to the back porch outside, looking at the sun that has been affixed to the roof, and walks in the direction of the coffin display room near Old Hank.
The 'L' shaped House of Grande has a protruding side door on the east side of the long side, which Zach doesn't like as a vampire. Zacra opened the door, the darkness dispelled by the oblique sunlight, and Zach put his hand on the guardrail of the staircase directly down, closed the door behind him, and went down in the darkness.
The further down you go, the more pronounced the smell of a chemical that disdain vampires. Yes, vampires are disdainful of a qiē thing that has an antiseptic effect. It's the vampire's inexplicable racial pride, feel it.
At the end of the stairs, Zach casually turned on the light.
In the sound of zizi, the brief flickering stopped, and the qiē in the room was illuminated by incandescent lights.
The blue-gray iron cabinet leaned on one side, and it should have been cold from the forest, but because the business volume of the Grand House was really speechless, it was the same as the iron wall cabinet, and it didn't give people any special feeling.
On the opposite side of the 'closet' is a metal workbench with surgical tools and gloves, and on one side of the hanger are several white coats, which can be easily identified as Alice's size. The only chill emanated from the stone platform in the middle. That's right, there were two basements like the original Grande House, and one was occupied by Zack. Such a stone platform was filled with a hollow for ice cubes, and became a bed for vampires.
The cyan figure stood on the side of the stone platform, and Zach walked to the stone platform, opened the plastic bag and looked at it, frowned, and then pulled it back.
"I'm rotting. Dylan stared at the plastic bag in front of him, without a tone of statement.
"It's slow. Zach raised an eyebrow, "But." This is the rule of nature. "Racial pride.
"Shouldn't you put me in the freezer or something? Dylan's gaze drifted to the row of 'closets' that weren't working.
Zach shook his head, "Tonight, Alice will sort it out for you." It seemed to liven up the atmosphere, "Don't worry, you won't melt away in one night." ”
Dylan glanced at Zach with a veil over his face, "It's not funny. ”
Zach pursed his lips and patted Dylan's shoulder comfortingly, stretched his hand in the air, and then deliberately made a perverse expression and slapped his hand on the plastic bag. The vampire pinched the noisy bag, "I think I slapped you off the shoulder." ”
Vampires are making a point of view, showing a reality.
The veil on Dylan's face flickered and eventually vanished, "They hijacked my funeral. ”
Although the 'I' was still used, the vampire knew that Dylan had received his message, and that was only the most accurate way to put it.
"It doesn't matter. Zach smiled, picked up his gloves from the workbench and put them on, put on his ill-fitting apron, and then completely unsealed the plastic bag, deciding to start with the shoulder that had just been slapped off with too much force.
Alice doesn't like this job, she belongs to the type that doesn't mind, after all, death is a fact, and Alice will not have an extra psychological burden. So Zach just wanted to lighten Alice's workload.
"You're back, doesn't that mean Michelle is safe?" Zack's movements were really not gentle, and his fingers covered by black gloves rudely flipped through the skin and muscles, uncaring that he was fiddling with the joints as he watched from the side.
When Zach turned around for the stitch, Dylan was trying to be as calm as he could and said, "Yes." I don't know what you did, but she got another phone call telling her that there would be no more instructions. ”
Dylan watched as the vampire pinched a needle and began to sew up, his voice trembling as if a thread had been broken, "And, moreover, there is, people, came, saying to protect her." ”
"Oh. Zack's movements are very fast, and what makes people speechless is that Zach seems to have a talent for being a surgeon, although it is not so bad that there are no traces of stitches, but if medical sutures are used, the object is not a corpse but a living person, I believe that it will not be long before the scar will disappear, "So you have seen a demon?"
Dylan looked at Zach, who looked down at his work, not knowing what he was thinking, "They say they're Crawley's people. Who is Crowley, the person you asked me to find at Mary's Chapel. ”
"She. Zach was satisfied with his workmanship, but immediately he frowned, because after going to see the scene of the 'accident' yesterday morning, he knew that Dylan actually died from being stuck between the truck and the wall, and was dragged to death, so both the face and the bones inside the body were incomplete, which can be described as collapsing.
Zach muttered as if disgusted, "No wonder there are so many requests." ”
In front of Dylan's veiled face, Zach picked out the 'Dylan' chest that had been stitched up during the autopsy. "What are you going to do. Dylan suppressed his feelings, he knew the truth, but ......
Zach walked impatiently to the cabinet by the wall, frowning and picking something, "Didn't you see your family's request? They need you to have a normal farewell ceremony, is your body normal?" The vampire reluctantly picked up and pulled two pieces of filling that seemed to be wood, hesitated, and turned to look at Dylan, "You choose?"
Zach's reminder that Dylan hadn't forgotten, so he suppressed his gushing sense of power and pointed to the side.
Zach nodded, "Good choice." ”
"Oh yes, Crowley. Zach walked back to the stone platform and began to stuff, "She's the demon leader of Barton City, if you want to advance normally, you still need her." Uh, there's more. Zach seemed to remember something, "She's the one who threatened you with the recording." Regardless of Dylan's reaction next to him, Zach fiddled with his hand in his body, "Just now, I went to Smith and pushed this person to Yuri. Well, now you're all up to the mark. ”
Zach pushed his open chest back and smiled, "Well, Dylan, I got you the pecs." You'll look taller under your formal attire. (To be continued......)
