2 Urban Legends
Ever since Old Hank returned from Squill, he had been making up for his missing time, and the strange old man was holding his carpentry tools every day, both to fill the inventory of Grande's coffin and to save some of the furniture that had been destroyed by Squill.
Speaking of these furniture, in fact, old Hank doesn't have to worry about it. When discussing the plan for Grande's attack with Scower, Zach restricts that what was left over from the previous generation of Grande cannot be touched. So in the showroom, in the reception room, whether it was the broken decoration or the furniture, the people in the Grande didn't care at all.
The original plan was to sell what could be sold second-hand, and if it couldn't, it would be used as wood, and the rest would be discarded. However, it was a coincidence that something happened to the old Mel's family at the 'famous' second-hand store in the South District, and Zach went to participate in the trouble by himself, so the matter was put down, and the things were piled up in the warehouse in the south.
Old Hank came back and fished these abandoned things out of the warehouse, and no one wanted to pay attention to the busy people every day.
So during this time, the all-day work made old Hank very tired, and he went to bed early and got up late, for example, today, breakfast began, and the old man came back with the newspaper.
Grande's breakfast is rarely seen in Zach, but now is a special period, and the restaurant is Zack's office, so Zach sat at the dining table, shaking his wine glass in a daze, looking at the phone next to a plate of baked potatoes in a daze.
Zach didn't really know what he was waiting for. There seemed to be some hope in my heart that I would be able to receive a call from Smith and ask him to take a look at the new incident that happened in Smith's underground property just last night.
But Zach also knew that Smith would definitely not call him. After Zach repeatedly emphasized that he didn't want to be involved in the interests of the West Enders, Zach didn't have a chance at all, even to take a look at the place where Dylan disappeared.
Syllable!
Old Hank casually threw a magazine in front of Zack. It's "Urban Legends - Barton Weekly" that no one is competing with Zack for this Monday's entertainment.
No one grabbed it, and Zach was no longer interested in this thing, tugging at the corners of his mouth and casually pulling it aside. It doesn't matter that Old Hank, who had just sat down, had just fished out the dinner plate and set up the newspaper next to him to read, so he took it directly from the whole portion.
Old Hank snorted impatiently. But nothing more. Even though he had stressed many times that he no longer wanted to be involved in anything with the current Grande, he still knew about the complete disappearance of a certain Grande member.
Zach flipped directly to the social version. Dominating the headlines, naturally, is Hermann's news. Including Herman's press conference at noon yesterday, the interruption of the luncheon......
Zach was in no mood to thank the journalists for kindly replacing the person who had interrupted the luncheon with the vague word 'somebody in attendance', saving Grande the embarrassment of embarrassing the whole Barton. Zach quickly read Herman's news. Started looking for news about the Smith warehouse.
But nothing.
Last night's Konstantin had already said it. Fortunately, the 'world punishment' happened underground, and the outside world was not involved.
Zach didn't give up, and began to look for missing or constant messages in the corners, borders, and middle seams of the page. Isn't it what Konstantin said, even the soul does not exist, those who are alive always have relatives and friends, and they will always find that this person is gone.
Of course, Zach still got nothing. It was natural, he was too anxious. Let's do a simple arithmetic. If today's newspaper was printed in the early hours of this morning, last night's 'world punishment' took place in the evening. How long is the difference in between? are all adults, and this time is really not worth letting anyone judge the disappearance, let alone appear in today's newspapers.
Noticing Zach's depressed mood, Louise pursed her lips, reached for "Urban Legends", and opened it. Louise's idea is actually very simple, her man is in a bad mood, and it is her responsibility to find a way to make Zach happy. Good woman.
But since last night, Louise hasn't helped Zach at all. It all comes down to the fact that even though she's been living with Dylan for a long time, the only time Louise sees Dylan is at Dylan's funeral.
Louise slid her fingers across the catalog, knowing she wasn't qualified to comfort Zach by talking about Dylan from any position, but she knew that if she could find something to distract her, even a slight diversion from Zach, would be good.
And this "Urban Tale" used to make Zach happy, and Louise hopes that now she can also find funny articles that vampires can laugh at and criticize, at least to ease the bad atmosphere now.
Louise pointed to "The Ghost of Barton under the Cover of Fire", looked at the page number, flipped over, and glanced at the eye-catching subtitle "Devouring Barton's Light - Herman's Red Devil!", Louise frowned and shook her head, although Louise almost guessed that the article should have said that Herman's factory exploded, but the title was too bad to be read by Zack, the vampire who had counted Herman.
Returning to the table of contents, Louise continued to search, her fingers stopping this time under another title, "Justice in the Night? Crimson is Hope?".
According to the style of this magazine, the more bizarre the headline, the more entertaining the content is for the alien.
So Louise looked at the page number and turned to the page. Before showing Zack, Louise has to filter it first, what can she say, good woman.
It didn't take long for Louise to adjust her sitting position, and she snorted softly in her somewhat strangely rhythmic breathing.
No one paid attention to her.
Louise shifted her posture sharply again, "Hmm. She glanced at Zach and hesitated, "Zach?"
Zach closed the newspaper that he didn't have to gain, returned it to old Hank, picked up his wine glass, and replied without much energy, "Huh?"
"Well......" Louise's gaze returned to the open article, "Last night, ...... with Dylan" Louise paused, "How many other people, well, have completely disappeared?"
Zach sighed, honestly, he didn't care too much about the numbers, and recalled, "Twenty-three." ”
Louise pursed her lips, nodded, looked at the newspaper that had returned to Old Hank, and frowned, "Has the newspaper reported?"
Zach shook his head, still a little rational judgment, "No, Smith won't take the initiative to report." Relatives of those people. Zach tugged at the corners of his mouth, "I didn't notice it so quickly." ”
Louise stopped talking, picked up the magazine in front of her, and turned to Zack, "I think you need to read this one." ”
Zach glanced at it with some confusion, and one glance was enough.
The subtitle is "1 Plus 23, The Light of the Dark World Underground in Puerto Massa? Let Time Answer".
1, it's Dylan. (To be continued......)
