17 The people Zach likes
James is back on time today, and it seems that there is no call (Kate) from the middle to disturb his mood today. But it's a pity that Zach has it," Miley Liszt called again, saying that a TV station staff had come to promote the Republic TV channel and asked if you wanted to subscribe. ”
"Well, whatever. James replied.
"Decide or not. Zach demanded an accurate answer.
"My TV! I can't subscribe to your!" If you miss it so much~
"I want to book. Zach shook his head, "I'm a little curious about what the republic looks like now~I want to hear your opinion~"
James stared at Zack, "Order!"
"Good. Zach handed Zach a bunch of forms, "When you go to subscribe, just help me hand over Grande's forms, thank you." ”
Come on. Putting the little bit aside, Zach and Louise were ready to head out. Go to Maggie's house, go to Walter~
"Should we bring something over?" Louise decided on her outfit - this is an activity for Zach and Louise to go out more often as a couple~ And it's not the morning, Joe's kind of inexplicable trip, so Louise wants to take it seriously.
"We're not going to a party or anything. Zach glanced at Louise's outfit of choice, "Just be casual." "Louise's choice of clothes is too 'contrived', as if she is going to attend some ceremony.
"But~" Louise naturally has her own reasons, "Based on the tension in the relationship between Walter and Maggie we saw yesterday, I guess~" Louise blinked, "There should be a result today~"
Hehe, Walter is not going to ask for a marriage to Maggie~
Louise smiled, "Because of the problem we caused, at least ~we can say congratulations there~"
"Huh. Zach wasn't as optimistic as Louise, "How do you know it's time to say 'congratulations.'" What if it's a pity?"
Louise blinked as she dressed, "You said before that Walter was a liar and used his power to deceive some widowed old women. "Does anyone remember," if he wasn't willing to make any promises to the woman at that time, I can understand that. But now that he has a regular job, a stable life, and both of them are already living together, why not take a step forward?"
"It's because of a stable life that people don't want to change, even if it's just a step forward. Zach lost a point.
Louise glanced at Zach and was quiet for a moment, "Is this your experience or some phenomenon of seeing?"
The difference is that experience speaks of oneself and phenomena speaks of others.
Before Zach could answer, the phone rang. Zach gestured to Louise to answer the phone.
If Miley had called and asked James for an answer, Zach was ready to hang up. You can understand that if Miley really wants to find James, she can call the police during business hours. And think about this woman who knows very well that Zach is a vampire every time she calls to Grande for reason, heating? TV show? uh.
"Gina is dead. ”
As soon as Zach picked up the phone, he heard this.
Zach reacted for a moment, "You killed you?"
"Is this how I look in your mind, murderer?" Anthony on the other side of the earpiece said impatiently.
"It has nothing to do with your image. Gina is under your control, and now that you're saying she's dead, what can you make me think?" Zach was calm.
"I need information from her mouth to control her, will killing her help that?" the tone of the conversation that opened with questions had already been set.
"The truth is, there is. Zach is very objective, "People can lie and hide. Souls don't, soul sigils don't whitewash anything. ”
"So you think I'm taking a shortcut. Okay, if I want to know anything later, I'll kill that person and look at his soul mark. Remind me, who's doing that?"
"I believe that this is the work of the devil. ”
"Am I a demon?"
"No, you're human. ”
"Do you have any other questions?" Mayor Anthony continued.
"Yes. A civilian, Zack, replied honestly, "Then who killed her?"
"Herself. The voice on the other side of the earpiece returned to impatience, "She didn't have any contact with the outside world, and in the surveillance, she ate something hidden in her hair and died." ”
Zach frowned, "Anthony?" tentatively, "Do you know about the case that the North Police Department and the Smith family are working on right now?"
"What kind of illegal sleeping pills deal, hmph, don't digress, the reason I gave you this call is to tell you that the clue on my side is broken, and I need your side to continue to get Gina's ......"
"Anthony. Zach interrupted Anthony, "Where is Gina now?"
There was silence on the other side of the earpiece for a moment, "Haili." ”
Belch.
"Anthony. The illegal sleeping pill that the North District Police Department is now investigating is not a sleeping pill. It causes creatures to die for a period of time. ”
There was no sound on the other side of the earpiece.
Zach went on to add, "Resurrection after dying for a while. ”
There was still no sound on the earpiece.
"Tsk. Zach held the earpiece, "Anthony, are you sure Gina is dead? Have you gone to Jessica to confirm the soul of Hell?"
There was a voice on the other side of the earpiece, "Didn't you just hear that? I'm human, and I don't want to use the 'soul' method to get what I want to know!
Zach tugged at the corners of his mouth, "You don't want to use the 'soul' method, but you don't have the burden to let me go to another world to get information for you?Anthony, how did your double standard come about?" Zach didn't wait for Anthony to respond, "Forget it, now is not the time to talk about this." How sure are you that Gina is dead, is her body cold, is it rotten, is it stinking?"
Belch............
There was silence on the other side of the earpiece for a moment, "I'm sure she wasn't breathing, she wasn't breathing, she wasn't having a heartbeat when I asked her to be disposed of. Isn't that enough?!" Anthony, angry, "you want to ask me to stay next to the corpse of a man who has served me for four years, waiting for her to get cold and smelly?"
"Not enough. Zach shook his head into the air, "The only thing that can accurately confirm a person's death is whether or not their soul has left the body. Zach sarcastically - "Obviously, I can't ask you to do this, right, then, the change of the soul after it leaves the body, the body enters the normal process of decay, is the only thing you can confirm Gina's death." ”
It was quiet again over the earpiece. Ay.
Zach spoke again, "You should ask Jessica to help you monitor the soul going to hell, if Gina's soul never appears, then, you know, you have been tricked by Gina." ”
"She was my secretary because she was just a vase!"
"Obviously not. Zach is not prepared to comfort Anthony, Zach will only care about more realistic things, "Your secretary is 'missing', will this affect your work and campaign." ”
"No, it won't. Then, Anthony on the other side of the earpiece became gloomy, "But since she's going to play death, hmph, I'll call the police, my secretary hasn't shown up to work all day, it's not going to be a trivial matter." ”
Zach thought for a moment, "Yes, it would force her to not show up again." You might want to talk to Wes, maybe give him the surveillance, and he can tell if what Gina eats is one of those sleeping pills. ”
There was no sound on the other side of the earpiece.
Zach was also quiet for a moment, "Anything else? Anthony." ”
"Why didn't you tell me that your vote didn't go out at all?" changed the tone of the call.
Zach frowned, "Who told you that?
"I saw him on the morning news, you may not have recorded the time when he appeared as a wolf, I did. So, I knew there was no reason for Benjamin to show up in the North End early in the morning, so I called him and asked what his wolf body was doing outside. Guess how he answered. ”
Zach was suspicious that this was the reason why Anthony called Benjamin. We have all seen how Benjamin answered reporters' questions, and it is normal for Anthony to feel upset, and it is reasonable to complain.
And then Zach didn't think that Benjamin was found by Anthony to say any fancy answers, that, "I'm doing my commission, checking the soul bulging people." ”
"Why didn't you tell me you didn't get anything after the time reset. ”
"It's just a few dollars and a badge, Anthony, and I don't think those things matter. ”
Anthony's next words are somewhat ...... Feel it –
"That's what's important. It's important that you give people eternal life, so it's not important if I give you a proof of how you've lived here?"
Zach opened his mouth, closed it, and spoke again, "Anthony, I don't understand the point of you comparing these two things in opposite places. You have rejected the eternal life I have given you, on the battlefield. As far as I am concerned, eternal life is not important to you. ”
"So that's what you really mean, I don't take what you give me seriously, and then you don't take what I give you seriously?"
Zach opened his mouth again, closed it again, and spoke again, "Anthony." It's just a badge, what the hell are you trying to say?"
"Why do you want to give me eternal life on the battlefield??" Anthony's tone was, demanding an answer.
"Because, you meet Toledo's criteria. ”
"That's it?" mocked.
"Okay. And because you're a soldier on the federal side, if I'm going back to the Federation, I'll probably need a descendant, after all, I'm not as free as I am in the Northland. "Topic...... As if deviating, "And, you could die at any moment." It's a battlefield, and if you don't pay attention, the people in front of me will die, and I don't like death, you know. ”
"So you proposed to me what you're most proud of, didn't you?"
"Yes. "Fortunately, the topic is not remote.
"Tell me, what's the proudest thing right now, and if I'm going to give you something, what can I give you? Zachary Torredo?"
"You ......," Zach's first instinct was, 'you don't need to give me anything. But, the exit was, "Okay, I see." It's my fault, I'm sorry Anthony, it's not just a badge. I want one. Zach shook his head at the air, "So what now, I'm no longer eligible for that badge." ”
"Hmph. As if satisfied, "You're lucky, I'm the mayor, and I'm the most powerful person in the city." I erased your registration to vote yesterday, and tomorrow, the last day, to vote. ”
"I'll go. ”
As soon as Zach finished speaking, there was a hanging.
Zach pouted and put down the phone, glancing sideways at Louise at the door of the office, "Can you believe it, Anthony just compared the system of power in the human social system to the immortality of a vampire." ”
You know, Zach can give a soldier immortality on the battlefield, and the mayor of a city can give a citizen's badge. Both, without analogy, are the same thing! The key word is pride.
Louise glanced at Zach, "You look happy." ”
Zach touched the corners of his mouth, and sure enough, it was curved, "Heh, it's Anthony's 'opinion' that makes me think he can be Torredo." Then, Zach raised an eyebrow and looked at Louise's clothes with a little curiosity, the outfit he had chosen before seemed to have been abandoned, and Louise was wearing a very ordinary outfit.
Zach was perceptive, "Louise, are you okay?"
Louise waved her hand, "I was just thinking about what you just said. "Of course it's not a phone call with Anthony, it's a conversation between Zach and Louise, something that Zach didn't have time to answer. Louise began to descend the stairs, "I suddenly realized that you and I are forever in a state of 'living together-not taking a step forward.'" So, you didn't answer just now. "Experience or phenomenon," this should be your experience. ”
Zach frowned, "Vampires are married. Not all vampire marriages are appendages of human identity, sometimes, on behalf of the vampires themselves. Zach has another example, "like Cyrus and Brill." ”
Louise looked back at Zack, "Then let me ask you, what is the point of our marriage? can we save property together or can we accumulate family resources together? We don't care about those things, you said it yourself, you don't want to make a family, that vampire marriage is meaningless to us." ”
Zach blinked, "Emotional." ”
Louise smiled, "You mean the ...... between you and Murphy right now" Louise looked back and gave Zach a wink, "Hehe~"
"Uh......" Zach had an epiphany, kind of snack, "Louise, are you telling me now, never, never to propose to you." ”
"It's good right now~It's good for us to keep it this way~"
*!
Zach wordlessly followed Louise out of the back porch and met Alice.
Alice was busy today, and was summoned by Old Hank in the afternoon, and when she came back, she went to Wes to cooperate with the investigation.
Zach is obligated to ask Alice how it is, "How's it going at the police station?"
"Detective Wes used my description to send a wanted warrant. Alice didn't look like she was in any good spirits, "but I don't think they can catch anyone." ”
"Why?"
It was Maya who replied, "Before we could begin describing the faces of the murderers, we saw that Detective Wes was dead. So, we described the individual and let the police arrest him. "Uh......
Alice looked at Zach apologetically, "Detective Wes has been pushing us, and we haven't had a chance to try every possibility, I'm sorry." ”
Zach patted Alice, "It's okay, let's talk to James." ”
"Yes. ”
