In order not to give Chapman's wife the impression of being followed, Zach deliberately slowed down the car and waited for a while at the entrance to Ixton before entering. Intentions and so on will create the impression that they are just passing by, not arousing any defense, and casually asking about the fire that happened here, but Zach seems to be too slow.

As soon as I approached the door of Chapman's house, I saw Mrs. Chapman coming out of the house with a large and small bag, and I saw that the upper edge of the opening was exposed, which seemed to be a change of clothes and daily necessities. Then he hurriedly stuffed it into the car.

Mrs. Chapman looked tired and leaned on the car door, silently reciting the name of the business, pointing her fingers back and forth, making sure that she had not missed anything, then reflexively went back to the back porch and locked the door, and then returned to the car, and just like that, drove away again!

"She'......," Wes looked at the car out of Ixton, "is she running away from home?"

"It's not. Zach shook his head helplessly, "She's going to the hospital, and I heard her talking about nursing." ”

"Well—" Shepard gave Zack a strange look, probably wondering how the kind gentleman could hear someone else's chatter, and he shook his head, "Do you want to ask her about the fire?" ”

Zach nodded, "Her husband is a police officer in the North Side, and there was a similar fire in the North Side. Zach didn't seem to mind saying something superfluous to this Shepard, "So wanted to ask." ”

"Oh. Shepard nodded, "But their family probably doesn't know anything, and at the time of the fire, there was no one in his house." Shepard pursed his lips, "They often don't have anyone in their house. The men are the police, we know, but they always come back in the middle of the night, the women are often away from home all day, and their children have been in the hospital for a long time, and they have been here for so long. I think I've seen it once. Usually this woman goes to the hospital to take care of her. ”

The homeless man is really a well-informed guy.

Zach was a little disappointed, if he was not at home for a long time, he probably didn't know about the fire.

Zack's eyes swept over a house next to Chapman's house and raised an eyebrow, "Is that house always empty?" Zach said of Walter's home. The thing said it was going to move out, but Zack found out that he had gone to live with Maggie Crescent, and the original house was left here.

"Oh. "Shepard's," yes, there was a man who was missing half of his front teeth, so he had a ...... of it" Shepard glanced in the rearview mirror at Wes, who was a police officer, and skimmed it. Heh, we get it. Walter's previous livelihood was to cheat widowed old women, which was not really a 'legitimate' profession.

"Then there was a fight here where people who don't know where they came from. "The fact is that the devil and the hunter are fighting in ambush in both directions," the police came to investigate for a while, and he moved away. The truth is that Walter felt that Ixton was no longer safe for him, a third alien, and in Shepard's eyes, he probably thought he was afraid of the police.

"I don't know where I went, but no one lives in this house......"

Shepard was talking as a small Beetle sedan passed by Grande's van. Drove past Chapman's house and stopped at Walter's doorstep.

A man got out of the car. After tidying up his neat and clean clothes, he opened the co-pilot's door, and took out a large bag of paper bags from his seat, and half a long bread was placed on top of the paper bag, which seemed to be full of food. The man leaned against the car door and adjusted his posture awkwardly, so that the barely visible eye on the paper bag could see the road ahead, and then staggered to the front porch of Walter's empty room. I actually took out the key and started to open the door!

"Uh......" Shepard's face was full of embarrassment, he had just said that no one lived there, "I didn't know if there were anyone else ......"

"It doesn't matter. Zach had a strange look on his face. He unbuckled his seatbelts, "I'll go and see, you guys stay here." ”

As the man on the porch in Walter's vacant room pushed the door open and entered, Zach got out of the car, closed the door with his backhand, smiled on his face, and walked straight there. Because, that person, it's Crowley, yes, the fallen angel Crowley in the Republic. Wait, it's not right, it's the container of the fallen angel Crowley.

Zach didn't knock on the door, and the person who went in left him the door.

"Mr. Hundred!" the busy woman, who was already in the cramped kitchen that separated the dining room from a row of cabinets, looked at Zach as he entered, "I see your car parked outside! I still want you to come and see me!

There was no shuffled huddle in a tattered sweater, but the tone was still in the style of the past—untimely excitement.

"I should be the one who is happy. Zach smiled and walked over to the woman, "Do you remember me, Mr. Hundred?" hehe, I think you should know what I am by now, my name, call me Zack." ”

Zach watched as the woman skillfully fiddled with the kitchen utensils and ingredients, as if she was going to make a hearty lunch. Oh yes, it's almost noon.

"I know. The woman's tone rose slightly, "But I still want to call you the way I remember you, sir, your hundred yuan made me eat a long meal and lay on the soft bed again......" She stopped what she was doing and pursed her lips, "Your last advice, let me ......"

She looked at Zach with complicated eyes, knowing what she was talking about. The last time Zach and the woman met was when Zach came to Ixton to investigate the Chapman affair and discovered that Walter had stolen something in his home. Zach tells her that there is a demon here, and let her run as far away as possible. As a result, the woman fled and fled to Crowley.

The woman's complicated eyes finally turned into a smile, "Changed my life." "That's a comprehensive summary.

Zach raised his eyebrows and nodded, although he didn't know what the woman was doing now, he still picked up a potato and peeled it. There is always a lot to say when people meet each other, not to mention, it is still the old man who is 'in such a magical position' (Crowley's container).

"I just saw your car drive by, and I didn't see you looking at me, I thought you didn't want to cross paths with me, considering you're Crowley's ...... now" Zach deliberately didn't finish.

"How so!" the woman shook her head vigorously, "I will always be willing to talk to you, even if ......" she pursed her lips again, "I am ......" She paused and skipped. With a smile on his face, "I just heard that there are other pure souls in your car and don't want to bother." ”

"Pure soul?" Zach raised an eyebrow, did she mean Shepard, Wes, Jason? Zach looked at the other party with interest, "Has Crowley helped you recognize your abilities?"

Remember the woman's first encounter with Zach, who she admonished. There is a devil in Walter's house, and Walter is talking to the devil bad guy, don't come close.

The woman smiled and nodded, "Yes, she told me that I am the 'Just', that I have the most peculiar abilities in the world, and that I am the rarest of the third alien race. She tilted her head, as if even talking about herself made her feel magical. "I can hear the evil in the soul, and I can judge the sin of the soul. ”

It was an accident. Zach raised his eyebrows, the history of this kind of people can be traced back to the origin of history, have you heard of the ancient legend that the balance of the soul and sin was weighed with a scale, and the soul was judged to be good and evil, and it was them.

The woman suddenly shook her head helplessly and laughed dryly. "I later learned that the owner of this place. Walter, your friend, he has long noticed that I am special and has always wanted to help me recognize myself. ”

At the mention of Walter, Zach was surprised again, raising his eyebrows and listening carefully.

"It's just a soul he's summoned from other worlds. All with sin. The woman smiled at Zack, "It's not his fault, his 'job' is to use the sins of these souls to please the poor old women of this world." ”

Yes. Walter was the shameless man who deceived the old woman......

"Actually, it didn't do me any good. The woman shook her head helplessly, "His heart is good, and I call him a wicked man who talks to the devil, and I blame him for it." ”

Not necessarily. Forget it, Zach smiled and waved his hand as if he had heard a story between the third type of aliens, "I see you have the key here, and you reconciled?"

"Yes!" the woman seemed pleased, "he seems to have done something for the demons before......"

The Herman factory explodes, and Mike makes a mistake in manipulating the gates of hell, leaking a large number of souls. Zach came up with the idea to ask Walter to inform the demons who had taken Barton's soul to return their souls. The good guy Zack did it, and the black cauldron of the wicked was all thrown to Crowley.

"When he went to Mary's Chapel, it just so happened that Crowley was going to the Republic, and I was alone, and we met and reconciled. He gave me the keys and said I could come anytime if I was interested in going back to Ixton. ”

Sounds like the beginning of a friendship.

Zach smiled, "I'm glad for you, Walter was still (worried......) about your visit to Crowley," seeing that the woman was now neatly dressed, Zach decided not to say anything to disappoint the fun, "Okay, I'm glad you are now." I don't know your name yet. ”

The woman fell silent, and her men's movements slowed.

Zach frowned, "What's wrong?"

"I ......," resumed the woman's hands, "I am not worthy of a name, and my all that has been plundered by the greatest 'sin' in the world." "Is she describing the fallen angel Crowley as the greatest sin in the world?" "Sir, you are a good man, and my name is not worthy to come out of his mouth. You can call me Crowley's container. ”

Zach's brows furrowed a little, "It's impossible, you're you, Crowley is Crowley, you're not Crowley's thing." I wouldn't objectify you like that. ”

The hand slicing the ingredients trembled, and the woman threw a grateful look at Zack, "Jessica." ”

Zach smiled and put the peeled potatoes on the desk, "Well, Jessica, it's nice to meet you." ”

"Me too, Grande ...... first" Jessica bent the corner of her eyes as she raised her eyebrows to correct her, "Zack." ”

"That's decent. Zach smiled and clapped his hands, tossing the potato skins hanging from his fingers into the trash, "Well, Jessica, you're going to tell me what you're doing? ”

"I'm atoning for my sins. Jessica's expression became unnatural again, "There is too much sin in my body, and I am trying to atone for it." ”

I have to say that this statement of treating Crowley as a sin makes Zach inexplicably comfortable.

However, Zach also learned something else, and everything was coming together in a wonderful way. Zach smiled tentatively and asked, "Are you preparing food for those homeless people who used to be companions?"

"yes!" Jessica was glad Zach had thought of it, "I'll come every day after Walter gave me the key here." She looked a little helpless, "I don't know when Crowley will come back, so I want to do as much as I can." Atonement, yes. ”

"So you've been doing this for a long time. Zach's tone was casual, "Have you ever happened to meet a strange, good, beautiful strange tramp?"

"Yes, do you know that man?" Jessica lit the stove, "He's probably the biggest he's ever eaten, and every day, I'm increasing the amount of ingredients I've prepared. I hadn't seen him before when I was wandering in this place, and he always came on time during this time. A few times I would ask him what he used to do, and he wouldn't answer. ”

Jessica smiled, "But I never 'heard' any murmur in his soul, so I didn't ask any questions." ”

The third alien who can hear the sin of the soul, Jessica, can't hear anything? Zach raised an eyebrow, "Can you hear my soul?"

"Oh, of course not!" Jessica smiled and waved her hand, "Crowley told me that vampire souls enter the death process the moment they become vampires, and like soulless things, I can't hear them. She looked at Zach with a look of affirmation, "But I know, Zach, you're a kind person." ”

This compliment, Zach took it, tilted his head, "So, most of the food you cooked, was eaten by this newcomer?"

"Yes. Jessica nodded, "Sometimes there is a surplus, and he will help me bring it to the others, and now, they are all gathered in the east, and rarely come to the side where people live." Jessica shook her head, "It's not a bad thing, it's good to tidy up the environment in Ixton." ”

"And has he been here these days?" Zack looked at the floor, and the questions were getting more and more pertinent, but Jessica, who was bent on believing that our vampire was Mr. Hundred Bucks and Mr. Good, would not have noticed what Zack was targeting.

Jessica's expression was strange for a moment, "Sorry, are you looking for him?" I don't know, I didn't come here for the first two days. Crowley sent a message from the Republic, I don't have time to come out, I only have time today. ”

Again unexpected. Zach raised an eyebrow, "Crowley sent back the news?"

"Well, she said the federal mission was done over there, and they were coming back. ”

As I said before, Zach should have paid more attention to the news on the radio, what was that news? Oh, it was trade, the Union signed trade agreements with countries on other continents.

Zach tugged at the corners of his mouth, not bothering to think about it for a moment, "So, you don't know if the newcomer is still there?"

"Sorry, I don't know. Jessica suddenly remembered something, and her eyes became worried, "The last time I saw him before was in the afternoon, when it was almost dusk, he finished eating and brought the rest of the food, and when I went back, I saw a fire in the east and called the police, but because of Crowley's prescribed schedule (the primitive man's routine at sunrise and sunset), I had to rush back, I hope he is okay." ”

"Me too. Having got all the answers he wanted to ask, Zach replied with a complicated expression.

The fact is that the body of the new man, the source of the fire, is gone, so, apart from Shepard's testimony, there is no evidence that this subject who accepted Jessica's atonement was burned to death. So, there is nothing wrong with Zach's answer. (To be continued......)
