Midnight.

For a city where cultural diversity is thriving, time really doesn't mean anything. How many are asleep now, there should be as many people still awake as during the day.

Well, exaggerated, Patton wasn't really a big city, and even if you count the republicans who are about to get jet lag, uh - work or tourists or even immigrants, there are still a lot more people who are already dreaming at midnight than people who are still living the nightlife.

Our vampire is, of course, the awake one. It's the same as at the beginning of this story, the reason why the awake vampire is awake is not that he has any vampire-style 'wonderful' nightlife to live. It's just that...... Life.

Zach has been standing in the shadows outside Ford's funeral office for a long time.

It's not that Zach can't go in, Zach is just waiting. Wait for the people inside to come out, or, wait for someone to come in—

Everyone is mature enough not to think of low-level things when it comes to nightlife, which includes night work.

I don't know when it started, but it became the norm for Ford funerals to continue working at night.

Mr. Ford, the owner of Ford's funeral, was one of those who worked at night. At this time, Zach, who was waiting in the shadows, just wanted to see how Ford's night work was carried out-

The incinerator at Ford's funeral was not working, and no one would ask for their loved ones to be cremated at such times. Mr. Ford, who had been in his office, was probably working on paperwork.

But...... Ay. Also a funeral home, when did Grande work so late?

Zach did 'work' at such a late hour. Midnight is a time that appears too many times in this story, and there are too many events that take place at this convenient moment to describe. Zach was awake, and we followed Zach and watched those things move forward.

But those are not the work of the funeral industry, right~ It is a commission, a boring trick of some gods, a conspiracy of interests of some non-human groups, and a major ...... related to the world pattern.

Now the focus is not on how hard Zach is on his job, it's Mr. Ford. What does Ford do in the office? Well, it can't be a funeral job. Don't forget, Ford has given up competing with Grande, he knows that no matter what tricks Ford does with cremation, he can't beat Grandry......'s vampire!

Whatever it was, Zach didn't want to interrupt, just wanted to observe for the time being.

Observations have results.

Mr. Ford was not the only one at work at Ford's funeral. The shorty employee who appeared in Xiaobai's transit incident before is also working. Every once in a while, the guy went into Ford's office, told him something, and then left, going back to the morgue where Ford's body was stored.

This was repeated many times, and each time Mr. Ford's workload increased. As Zach observed, the papers on Mr. Ford's desk were increasingly cluttered.

The degree of messiness is not only proportional to Ford's workload, but also to Ford's working state. Zach, who was observing from outside, knew that Ford's limit was approaching after seeing Ford drink his fifth cup of coffee.

It seems that we can't wait any longer.

Zach stepped out of the shadows and looked at the morgue, where the dwarf employee seemed to have a new job to report, and Zach stood still in the doorway.

The mood of the employees was probably affected by this endless night work, and they almost noticed Zack's presence when they almost bumped into him.

"Ahh

"You're off work. Zach told expressionlessly.

The employee covered his mouth so that he would not continue to scream.

"You're off work. Go home. Zach said it again, and pushed the door into Ford's office without paying attention.

"What are you screaming!" Ford, who was working on the papers with his head down, didn't see that it was Zach who came in, and was complaining about his own employees, "Tell them this is the last one of the day!And don't expect to get a corpse from me anymore!*!" Ford burst into a foul mouth, and the work in his hand did not stop, "All my archive records must be adjusted and rewritten! If they do it again, it will arouse the suspicion of the police department! If they still want corpses, let them go to other cities to get them!"

Zach pulled a chair himself and dragged it to Ford's side, yes, side, not opposite. Zach prepares to sit down.

It wasn't until Zach sat down next to Ford and reached for the papers on Ford's desk that Ford realized......

"I*!!" Ford almost bounced out of his chair, "Zachary Grande!Why are you here!!"

Zach glanced at Ford, took a pen from the pen holder on his desk, drew it in the air in imitation of Ford's handwriting, and began to write on the document he had just brought over. Words—"I'll help you." "Pause," falsify the body record. ”

Yes. Zach wasn't bored when he came to Ford Funeral to observe what the funeral home on the North End was doing at midnight.

In fact, before Zach came, he knew what type of things were going on at Ford's funeral. Before Allen leaves Grande, remind Zach.

"You ......" Mr. Ford's face darkened, and he changed his name to Zach again, "Zachary Toledo!

Zach moved much faster than Ford, and the documents were quickly processed under Zach's men, "Rutte Lesenbra is dead. ”

Hold your horses. In terms of confusion, Ford is the same as we are.

"Who?"

Zach waved his hand, the movement of his hand stopped for a moment, and looked at Ford, "Do you completely believe that I will do all the work for you?" "It's a reminder to Mr. Ford, that the documents related to your Ford's funeral are all in front of me, a vampire, and I can change them as I please.

Ford's cheeks twitched a few times, and he sat back in his place, forced—meaningless body language—to grab Zach's corrected record in front of him and quickly scan it.

Zach certainly wouldn't have really messed with Ford's documents, and Ford couldn't find anything wrong.

Zach didn't care about Ford, and continued to help Ford modify the file, his mouth didn't stop, we all know how much Zack's mouth likes to talk, "It's the vampire who hates me." ”

Is there anyone who is a little familiar with this expression? Hint, Ford and the vampire who hates Zack have a common language~ Heh, do you remember, Ford, I experienced a very unpleasant break with Zack, remember what Ford said to Zack at that time~

We were also worried for a while that Ford, who had been the model of Patton's funeral industry, was going to die. But as time went on, it seemed that all we knew was that Ford had raised the price of the Harrison deal and that nothing had happened.

Now, this line that is about to be forgotten is about to be turned out.

Ford was stunned for a moment, then his face was gloomy, and his movements were still to grab Zack's corrected documents to check, but he also spoke, "Impossible! I haven't even heard from my sponsor!"

Sponsors? There is no doubt that it was Rute Lesenbra, who Zach pronounced dead at the beginning. But since Ford was going to use that title, then Zach followed Ford. "There's no way you're going to get the news. Zach glanced at Ford, "Speaking of which, how long has it been since you received contact from your sponsor?"

Ford's face began to wrinkle, and his gaze forcibly stayed on the paper, not wanting to make eye contact with Zach, "It's none of your business!"

Zach shrugged his shoulders, "You didn't know that the humans in the West were waging an anti-alien movement. ”

Ford's eyes lit up, but immediately dimmed. The word anti-alien is inevitably attractive to someone like Ford, who once worked to keep himself competitive in front of vampires. But, with a little more sense, you can think of the movement of the western human race, which is my business.

"Because of this campaign, news from the western media was blocked. Zach shook his head, "The relationship between the Demon Feast and humans has also been affected by the impact of the movement. Zach's point is: "Your sponsor doesn't exist in this world, and you can't know about it." Zach had already begun to consciously hand the corrected documents to Ford, "You don't know about it." ”

It may have nothing to do with Zack's words, but Zack's increasingly 'familiar' movements stimulated Ford.

Ford finally stared sideways at Zach, "What the hell are you here for!"

"Your sponsor is asking you to cut off all interracial ties associated with me, right? Zach stopped looking at Ford, and continued to revise the documents in his hand, still saying that he was here to help Ford, "So you deliberately raised the price of trading the body with Harrison." ”

"I ask you what the hell you're here for!!" Ford's face began to darken a little.

Zach ignored, literally, and now all he had in his eyes was the documents in front of him, the records of the bodies that flowed through the Ford Funeral Home - "When Grande was portrayed as a representative of the successful privatization of the funeral industry in the eastern part of the Union, your job was to lower the ...... of the funeral industry in the east" Zach tilted his mouth, "level." And continued, "In today's funeral industry, there is only cremation, and there is nothing low-level to do, so what you can do is to offend all the aliens who have a relationship with me." ”

Ford also wanted to ask the question he was asking for answers a third time.

Zach stopped in the calmest of tones, "Do you want to die, Ford." ”

Ford's mouth opened for a moment, but he didn't speak.

Zach went about his work, "Tell Ford that it would do you any good to offend Barton's aliens." Except to satisfy your boredom of hating me?" "I ask what the hell you're here for!!" Ford's face began to look a little hideous, and Zach went about his work as he went, "Tell Ford that it would do you any good to offend Barton's aliens." Except to satisfy your boredom of hating me?" "I ask what the hell you're here for!!" Ford's face began to look a little hideous.

Zach ignored, literally, and now all he had in his eyes was the documents in front of him, the records of the bodies that flowed through the Ford Funeral Home - "When Grande was portrayed as a representative of the successful privatization of the funeral industry in the eastern part of the Union, your job was to lower the ...... of the funeral industry in the east" Zach tilted his mouth, "level." And continued, "In today's funeral industry, there is only cremation, and there is nothing low-level to do, so what you can do is to offend all the aliens who have a relationship with me." ”

Ford also wanted to ask the question he was asking for answers a third time.

Ford sat in his seat, unable to do anything but breathe, and who knows what was going on in his mind.

Zach didn't ask for an answer, but, "Do you know why your sponsor wants the funeral industry in the East to have a bad reputation among the aliens?" ”

Ford did not answer. He probably didn't know, a human, heh, how did he know this-

"Because in the future, Toredo will lead the funeral industry in the west, and most of the funeral industry in the west is run by the lower classes of society. Zach gave Ford the answer.

Rut Lesenbra, now go over this line, tsk, do you think Rut is quite pitiful. What a line, he's dead, and he can't see the future development.

Ford still didn't say anything, I wonder if it was because his question had not been answered, and he wanted to insist on being silent until he got an answer?

Unimportant.

At Zach's speed, no new workload came in, and the messy papers on the desk were clean.

Zach put the pen back and sat down next to Ford, "If that's all you're doing, I don't have to come in and help you." "I've noticed that the document Ford is working on is a record of the body.

As Zach said, Ford is deliberately offending Patton's aliens, and what we know is that Harrison can't afford to buy food. And then in this case, Ford, hehe, is still secretly trading in the bodies of their funeral home!

Ford, who is selling the body to?

That's the biggest takeaway from Zach's previous observation from the outside.

"Answer my question, why did you sell the corpses to those republican 'angels' in Mary's Chapel?" Zach said, with a genuinely inquisitive expression.

Ford looked at Zach, his lips closed.

Zach shook his head, "Your sponsor (Root) doesn't know what those republican 'angels' mean, it's not an order from your sponsor to you. Zach put it more bluntly, and it was kind of an answer to Ford's question, "You know that Hamilton, who was buried by Allen, left Barton." He is the captain of Allen's funeral vampire, he left here because of Root's death, and the new captain took his place, and while sorting through his belongings, he found out that Root had asked him for your contact information. Zach moved the corners of his mouth, "Allen came to Grande today and mentioned it." Everyone knows that there is a vampire who hates me as much as you do in the Demon Feast, and that is Root. So remind me to come and see what is going on on your side. ”
