Pushing open the door that didn't close, Zach saw Bell packing his belongings.

Bell glanced up at Zach and saw General Lance behind Zach. Both sides were stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting to meet someone they knew here.

"Are you leaving?" Zach interrupted.

Bell's gaze returned to Zach and resumed his tidying up, "Yes, if it weren't for the downstairs saying you'd come, I'd have left." ”

This was somewhat unexpected, "Why are you leaving? You're done with Barton?"

"Nope. Bell closed the suitcase, "But there was a result." ”

The mental journey in West's manuscript can be used, Zach: "Darcy gave you the way to survive as the inheritor of the Demon Feast?"

Bell was stunned again. And immediately there was a sense of alarm on his face, "Who told you that." ”

"Holy Lord. Zach rummaged through his pockets and pulled out a few manuscripts and shook them at Bell.

Bell opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything, and closed it again, staring gloomily at his luggage.

"Darcy didn't give you what you wanted, did he. "Isn't that what Bell just said, his visit to Barton was not done, but it turned out. Translated, it was Darcy who refused to give Bell a 'way to live'.

"Yes, he didn't. Bell looked back at Zach as he lifted his suitcase, "I can't stop here and talk to you, I need to get out of this place." ”

Note that Bell didn't say he couldn't continue to talk to Zach, just that the place couldn't be here. Bell has always been open, and the mind of communication with Zack has not been closed.

"I drove the car. Zach gestured for the car keys, "Would you like to go to Grande and sit down?"

Bell looked a little hesitant, and looked at General Lance again, the meaning was unknown, "No, if I continue to stay at Patton, I can only go to places where Detective James Lance can't appear." ”

Zach raised an eyebrow, "Why?"

"Because I'm pretty sure he's the detective investigating the guy I killed. ”

Zach tilted his head slightly, "You killed someone at Barton?"

"Just in self-defense. Bell said with certainty, "If the other party wants to kill me, I will kill the other party first." ”

Zach looked back at General Lance, who looked calm and not ready to intervene in the incident, that ...... Zach, "There's also a Inheritor in the Southern End, Linda's husband Cliff, have you heard of it, you can go and hide there for a while. ”

Bell lowered his head and thought for a moment, then spoke, "James Lance doesn't have law enforcement authority in the Southern District. ”

"No, he is a police officer in the North District, and if you want to investigate the case in the South District, you need the authorization of the Southern District Police Department. Zach glanced at General Lance again. It doesn't make much sense, it's just a little bit of preparation.

"That's fine. Bell nodded, lifted his suitcase and followed Zach.

Back in the car, General Lance unexpectedly went to the back seat of his own, leaving the co-pilot with Bell. It seems that the human general has adapted to being an by-product of Zack's 'working day'.

As soon as the car started, "Who's going to kill you?"

"In the whole of Barton, there are only two people who know that I am at Barton. Bell replied, "You and Darcy." Do you want to kill me?"

That's how the method of exclusion should be used. It's not Zach, it's just Darcy.

At the same time, Zach was aware of a certain point, "The person you killed...... No. Self-correction, "Was the person who died in your justifiable defense a civilian or a policeman?"

Zach didn't have to look at Bell's expression, he could hear his breathing, heavy, "Civilians, anyway, don't wear police uniforms or provide identification like normal police officers." He said this just to comfort himself, because the latter words were—" but considering that he saw me draw a gun and shoot, he probably didn't have a chance to identify himself to me. ”

"You must have confirmed the death of the other party, why, didn't you find out the identity of the killer by the way? General Lance, who was in the back seat, spoke suddenly.

Zach glanced at General Lance in the rearview mirror and didn't stop him.

"I don't have time to confirm. Bell also looked in the rearview mirror, "There were only two gunshots, one for the other party trying to kill me, and one for me to fight back." Bell's breathing was heavy, but his voice was calm, "I only saw the other person fall to the ground, and then I heard a large number of people approaching nearby, so I had to leave." Then I saw that the street was blocked by the police, and I couldn't get close to it. ”

"Oh. The conversation seems to have been hijacked by General Lance, "so it's a trap." Even if you survive the assassination, the subsequent police will be able to catch you. General Lance paused, disappointment in his tone, "At least the plan is to catch you." ”

The disappointment was not directed at Bell, it was directed at James. Because apparently, James didn't catch Bell. As a general's father, he was disappointed in his son's ability to work.

There was silence in the car for a while.

"Why did you become a police officer. Zach opened up a new topic.

"Huh?"

"I'm curious why a race like the Inheritor, who lives hard, would do such a high-risk job as a police officer. ”

"Who told you that the inheritors were desperate?"

"Experience. ”

"Then you don't have enough experience, Torredo. Bell rolled his eyes.

"Am I wrong? At least the inheritors I know care about their own lives. ”

"The inheritors you know are all inheritors in the cycle of human life. Bell glanced at Zach and snorted, "Well, yes, no one would say they know a dog, a flower or a potato." "A metaphor that people can't understand for a while.

But I can't understand it for a while, so let's take a closer look......

We've already driven out of the Betch District and onto Route 27, so if there are no accidents, just go straight ahead. Zach has a hard time.

Zach raised an eyebrow slightly, "Before your human life cycle, were you all animals and plants?"

"Uh, how could it be. I've been a human turn countless times. Surprised, with a little disdain, "Don't measure the life course of the inheritor's existence by the pathetic span of your vampires. ”

Not only was Zach surprised by this unexpected disdain, but General Lance in the back seat adjusted his sitting posture and looked at Bell in the rearview mirror.

Bell sensed that something was wrong with his words, and pursed his lips, "Every creature has a survival instinct, and the countless species I've cycled through have this instinct. Since I'm a human this time, I'm not going to give my human life casually. But in order to preserve this human life, give up some of the so-called high-risk lives, sorry, if the inheritor has a law of existence, experience is this law, I am not ready to give up. ”

That's the answer to Zach's previous question.

"Experience. Zach raised an eyebrow, "There are many human lives, and you just happened to be experiencing the police this time, is that what you mean?" ”

"Yes. Bell replied, "Why did you suddenly ask me this?"

Zach took out the manuscript he had just shown and handed it to Bell, "You didn't seem surprised when I said it was the Lord who told me who you really are. "Yes, Bale's performance is standard speechless, and being speechless is not the same as surprise.

Bell pursed his lips, although he took the manuscript, he didn't have any meaning to read, and flipped through it casually, "There's nothing surprising, it's not a day or two since the Holy Lord fell into this world." "Before I cycled into this human race, I also lived in crops, parasites, catkins, fish, ......" listed a bunch of things, "There are some things that I know better than you guys who can only see the world in one life. ”

Zach subconsciously bit his lower lip. While researching West's manuscript, Zach felt that what West wrote was too constrained by the pressures of a detective and a society like the Devil's Feast. Although it is the need of the story - none of the incidents caused by Russell and Logan in Vega are cases that human enforcers can solve. But Zach just felt that something was missing.

Bell's purpose as an inheritor is missing. What does Bell want, does he want to be like Darcy, become a possible vampire inheritor, or does he want to keep his secret identity alive and just want to live a lighter life. West describes the pressure, but does not tell the reader where the outlet for the stress is.

So Zach's plan was to fill in the missing piece of West. Anyway, now that everyone has made their own lives stories, let's be thorough and enrich the characters, right?

But Zach really didn't expect the start to be so unfavorable, just in the discussion of the identity of the inheritor, Zach found that this Bell seemed to be completely different from the inheritor that Zach understood.

"Why did you come to Barton to find Darcy?" Zach had to return to West's manuscript and re-cut from the pressure of the detectives.

Bell was still holding West's manuscript in his hand, and although he hadn't read it carefully, some words should have come into his sight, and he quoted, "'Why is this life so difficult?'" He was reading what West had written, "'Why can't humans, aliens, and vampires in this society find a balance of co-existence like other creatures.'" Why is there so much trouble? Is it not good to live this life well?Or are we all the same secret inheritors as I am??' I am more open-minded than I am not concerned about a life course?'" After reading it, the manuscript was returned to Zach, "so I came to Darcy. ”

"Do you think Darcy can give you the answer?"

"At least I'm looking from the outside in, and Darcy is in the system of the Demon Feast, isn't it? Outsiders can never understand the fundamentals of the system, I can only find insiders to understand, is there anything wrong?"

"That's right. Zach agrees with Bell, "But it turns out that Darcy clearly doesn't share your intellectual curiosity." ”

"I don't blame him, I question the foundation of the society of the Demon Feast, and the vampires who make the rules of the western society are destroying the credit he has accumulated in the Demon Feast, which will eventually lead to the waste of his human life more than a dozen times. ”

Zach frowned, "Do you know that Darcy is counting on becoming a vampire and using the vampire's immortality to retain the human form of a high-level creature?"

"Of course I do. Bell waved his hand, and then a look of pity appeared on his face, "Maybe you're right, most of the inheritors are Darcy's kind of beings, and they will be nostalgic for the so-called higher biological forms. Especially under the captivity of the Demon Banquet, they fully enjoy the advantages of human beings, and they don't want to return to the state of being inferior and looking at the sky to determine life and death. ”

"Okay, so it's your different philosophies about the inheritors that caused your meeting to be unsuccessful. "Zach is already free to play, and there are some facts that can't be bypassed," but why is it so bad, Darcy wants to end your life this time. ”

General Lance interjected again, "I just wanted to mention one thing. If my son, James, is now working as part of the trap, perhaps Darcy didn't really want to kill you, but that your legitimate defensive reaction was too sharp and accurate, and the trap was fatally flawed. "Well, General Lance actually found a reason for James - it wasn't that James was incapable of doing his job, it was that part of the plan was dead, and James was delayed.

This speculation makes sense. The gunfire may have just been a way to entice the police to surround Bell, not really to kill Bell.

Bell frowned, glancing at General Lance, but said to Zach anyway, "Because of my status as a police detective, Darcy feels threatened." He was afraid that I would be the next him. Bell didn't finish.

Zach added, without any expression, "Darcy is afraid that he will be abandoned by the Demon Feast." ”

General Lance, who was in the back seat, sighed and did not speak.

Zach nodded calmly, this unexpectedly frank conversation made Zach make a temporary decision, "I won't hide it from you, since you already know that the Holy Lord wrote part of your story and gave it to me." Then you should know that this story will continue. ”

"Everything in this world will continue, this is the only way for everything here. Bell said...... Sentiment?

Zach opened his mouth slightly and continued, "I need you to do me a few favors, and that's why I'm here to see you today." ”

"You're not kidding. Bell glanced at Zach, "Do you need my help?"

"Certainly not at Barton. ”

Bell nodded, "I guess it's about the current situation of Logan and Russell who went out of your Grande." ”

"You guessed it. "Have you noticed the manuscript just now, as I said earlier, West's manuscript is quite thick, and the reason why Zach showed Bell these few is that Zach deliberately removed the manuscript about the incident. In Zach's original plan, he would not tell the role what he was going to play in the West until he was ready for the role.

Now, there is no need to do it, the frequency of people is obviously several grades higher than Zach expected, and it is very accurate to see things.

Bell frowned, "You understand that both of your employees got involved in this mess because of Mayor Lesenbra's secretary, the ghoul named Lily." ”

Oh, sure enough, it's a police detective, and he knows very well what the cases that put pressure on him are all because of them.

"I know. Zach nodded, "The Demon Feast system that has brought you trouble with this human life experience, the alien race in this system, Darcy's path has been killed by you, what do you think of Mayor Rute Lesenbra's secretary." ”

This is Zach's plan after repositioning Bale. Whether it is successful or not depends on the answer.

"You want me to take Lily away from your two employees?"

"Can you?"

"You know, it's dangerous for me to be too close to someone like the mayor's secretary. ”

Zach ignored it, "Can you?"

"Well, I need to think about it. ”

"It's good, Cliff runs a holiday farm, you can think about it. ”
