Chapter 3 Visits

By noon, Zach was becoming more and more visibly depressed, coffee and cigarettes were no longer enough to satisfy the vampire's needs, and the square bottle was always in Zack's hand. The disdain in Lola's eyes skyrocketed, and she looked at the third bottle that Louise handed out.

"Louise, you can't pamper him like that! he's obviously addicted!" said the girl righteously, "you should enroll him in a support group for alcohol cessation!"

Zach smiled helplessly, "It's just red wine, I just moved the formation of other people's evenings to noon." ”

Lola pouted, she didn't bother to care about this 'other brother'.

Finally, after completing the street sweep, Lola's itinerary began to truly relax, and they had left the confines of Liszt Street and walked to the perimeter of Liszt Square. If you want to ...... on your hair, skin, nails Ascend, this is the place to be.

It's just that Zack's disappointment is reflected again, there are mirrors everywhere, and vampires won't enter. Louise was very 'caring' to give Zach time to relax freely, and after agreeing on a time to meet again, "Let's go play by myself." ”

Zach looked apologetically at Alice, who was about to lose her protection, and reassured her not to worry, saying goodbye to the three people who were about to do a major hair makeover for the time being, and looking for a place where the vampire could sit and rest peacefully.

Perhaps it was a chance encounter with James that inspired Zack, who chose James's attic.

There was actually a slight shift in James's attitude towards Zach. Anthony is a good role model, and he is quite right to show how weak humans and vampires can get along on an equal footing. James also realized that he had been stimulated by vampires before, and if he posed as if he needed to be educated, how could you blame the other party for being too avant-garde in his way of education?

So now James no longer uses the tone of 'asking' to talk to Zack, the question is the problem, and the statement is the statement. But the psychological shadow caused by the previous vampire is still there, so it is still difficult for this detective to face Zach calmly.

"What are you doing here?!" James asked, pulling the iron door, looking at the languishing vampire at his doorstep, unsympathetically.

Zack watched James's body press between the door and the door frame in a completely blocked posture, as if he didn't mean to let him in at all, and pouted helplessly, "James, if you don't let me in and have a good rest, I'll go to the café below you and sit." ”

In terms of equality, weak human beings are still weak human beings.

James stepped aside and let Zach into his home. After watching Zach sit at the bar counter of the golden bachelor's house, he took out three wine bottles in a row, took a wine glass in his hand, poured himself a glass, and took a sip of satisfaction.

"What are you doing here?" said James, frowning. The general's son usually wears a relaxed attire at home, with a cotton vest showing broad shoulders, loose trousers, no socks, and a pair of black slippers hanging on his feet, and he reluctantly walks to the bar and sits down, staring at the vampire who always has a hint of an annoying smile.

Zach held his glass and fiddled with the text spread out on the bar. The detective's job is obviously not idle, but he is one level higher than the police officer, and his work arrangement is more free, and he can take the work home with him.

James frowned and took the text from Zack's hand, closed them one by one, and took them away, "Don't look around." ”

Zach raised an eyebrow and looked around, "So, is this your usual weekend? Staying home and doing work? You're boring, Detective Lance." ”

James's upper lip was raised, and he snorted in disgust, "Do you usually do the same on weekends, out in the sun?"

Zach opened his mouth, and honestly, he preferred the old James, how pure and innocent......

James took away his work papers, sat down at the bar, looked at Zach who didn't know what he was sad about, and frowned, "You haven't said yet, what are you doing here?"

Zach collected his thoughts, it was he himself who asked for an equal conversation, and now that James has done it, no one else is to blame. Zach smiled self-deprecatingly, "Can't I come to visit you? ”

It may be the attribute relationship of the Grande House, but it really didn't make James think that it was someone's home. But James wasn't prepared to dwell on that, he didn't think that vampires would just come and sit with him to pass the time.

"I went because something happened. What are you here for? James said flatly.

Zach pouted, he had just reached equality, it was indeed a little early to ask to be friends now, the 'friendly visit' did not exist between Zài and these two people, James was right, he came to ask something, "Well, there are indeed some questions for you, before that, continuing the morning topic, I should let you know how Crowley handled that 'witcher'." ”

James nodded, he did want to know the details, but in order not to degrade the equality he receives, he would not take the initiative to ask.

Zack's narrative is brief, but it is also very clear about the concept of 'demon hunters' and the disregard that Crowley intends to ignore. James pursed his lips and made the decision to leave the devil's affairs to the devil. Another human being who appears in the narrative, Father Constantine, is what James is more curious about.

Since the worldview has been expanded, these strange people have appeared one after another, and James really doesn't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing.

"Now, you're up to speed. Zach smiled, and he very deliberately deepened the description of Father Constantine, naturally in order to give James another example. Anthony and Zach are friends, and sometimes the two get along and can be used as a model for others to learn from.

Now there is a Constantine, and for James, who is not yet a friend, he respects each other like a guest, which is the more correct learning goal at this stage.

"Have you heard what happened on Liszt Street this morning?" asked Zach.

"I heard. The subject changed, and James also threw away his previous thoughts and changed his mood, "Some exhibitionist guy has done something. ”

"That's not an exhibitionist guy. Zach laughed and shook his head, "That's Blake Stone, you know." ”

James frowned, he knew the man. As the son of General Reims, he knew more than the average person, just as he knew Poch Quinn, who was not even familiar to the locals.

"Blake?" he was fully aware of what had happened in the café, where everyone was chatting as if no one was around.

Without experiencing it himself, he got a picture of a man naked—letting someone else write on him, even though there was a heavy subject, but as a police detective, all James cared about was that the other party caused a riot in public.

"Why did he do that? The outside world commented very well on him. James clearly didn't understand.

Zach raised his eyebrows, he only cared about Barton City, he hadn't heard the outside world's evaluation, "You know he just returned to Barton from Newton University." ”

"Yes. James nodded, "He's applying...... James waved his hand, "What's the matter with you?"

"It's just a matter of the moment. Zach smiled, "How's the security in Barton lately?"

James glanced at Zach, "Not bad. ”

"What about Newton?"

James frowned, the Patton Police Department is the city's security agency, and as the only one in the city, their competitors have always been outside of Patton. So they will know a little bit about the security reports of the whole Massa state.

It's better to ask Anthony this question, but now that James is here, and Anthony is not at the grassroots level after all, the solution is still here with James, so Zach naturally asked.

"Not so good. "I don't want to admit it, but James has to agree that because of Grande and Anthony's 'unusualness', the demon's influence on the city is overwhelmingly minimal in Barton City. Of course, ordinary people don't want to know about it.

Zach smiled, "I think you've been doing a lot of research on demons lately. The result?"

James pouted, if he had been honest before, waiting for the vampire to correct him. But now, he's just impatiently banging on the table, "What's the point!"

Zach was heartbroken.

The vampire shook his head and said helplessly, "The actions of demons are usually two-fold, strengthening the faith, which has no effect on our citizens, and can even be said to be a good thing. And then there's incitement, because if everybody goes to heaven because of their faith, the devil wouldn't do such a stupid thing. ”

James nodded, he already knew that, compared to what was going on outside of Barton. The balance between Grande and Crowley is exactly that.

"You know that outside of Barton, the demonic operation has begun. For specific events, you can refer to the situation of our city of Barton some time ago. Zach shook his glass, "It's not a big deal, it's just a little 'evil'." ”

James frowned, a little 'evil' meant fighting, cheating, stealing, robbing...... That is, a petty crime that can only be released after being locked up in the police station for a few days. That's not a good thing.

"These are all meant to increase the 'sin' in the soul of the faith. Zach looked at James, "Do you understand what I mean?"

James nodded, he understood, but it didn't mean he accepted it.

The truth is so embarrassing, it is not the devil who is evil, but the people themselves. The demon only induced the evil of the person in order to increase the chance of his companion in the future, and in the end, the person pushed all the evil to the demon, forming the 'common sense' of the current person. At this point, it is impossible to say who is the evil.

"Well, at this point, you can understand. Zach laughed and said, "Maybe it's a demonic relationship, or maybe it's just a human cause." Some people began to characterize other people as 'evil' in the name of faith. ”

Again, in the old history, there were 'devout' believers who pointed to those who ate seafood and said, "You have eaten what the Lord does not allow us to eat! You are evil! You will go to hell!"
