Chapter Twenty-Three: I Wish You Good Dreams
Streets with street names that begin with 'Becky' are like an upside-down comb on the map of Barton's North District, and the back of the comb is naturally 'Becky Street', and from the back of the comb to the south, there are Becky 4th Street and Becky 3rd Street...... Until Becky Middle Street, Becky East Street...... If you frame this entire area, it is the former [Betch District].
【Becky District】The north end is next to Marsa Bay, controlling the logistics and transportation north of the Charles River, and there is a railway station connecting the city to the outside world in the middle, 'Becky' is the first prosperous area of Barton City. However, with the expansion of Barton City, the city was planned into the current west, north, and south districts, and the former "district" name disappeared and became the current street name.
Zach drove Benjamin's van and did not take a long detour from Becky Street, but stopped directly on Becky East Street, at the front of the comb.
The neon of [Ivy Club] quickly came into Zack's eyes, and several teenagers with red paper cups leaned against the window and chatted. Ryan, a smart man, buys time for himself in the crowd.
Zach pushed open the door to the club, and the crowd seemed to be rioting, not because of the vampire entering, but from the inside.
"Wait! Raven ......" James pushed through the crowd and just wanted to catch up with the two in front of him, one hand pressed his shoulder!
"Go away...... James instinctively shook off the hand on his shoulder, but when he turned around, he saw a face he didn't expect.
James's expression changed several times in a row, "Why are you here?!"
"You robbed me of my question. The vampire Zach pouted, "I remember telling you not to associate with those people." Zach looked at the two men who had disappeared on the inside of the club and said with some disappointment.
Although he didn't want to share the same opinion as Zack, James replied with some annoyance: "I didn't! he came to me! I want to go over and look at him! he might ......"
James wanted to push through the crowd and chase after him, but he was caught by Zacra again!
"You won't want to go. Trust me Lance Detective. Zach accentuated.
"You don't understand!" James shook Zack's hand again, "he's going to ......"
"I know, I know. Zach shook his head helplessly, approached James, and whispered in his ear, "Nail the coffin, and burn it to the ground." Am I right?"
James opened his mouth in surprise, "So he's right, that kid is ......" The conversation between the two had already attracted some attention, and James shut up, his mood relaxed a little, at least he knew that Rivench wasn't out to commit murder! Let's add a 'really?' here.
Zach watched James's mood change, shook his head again, and pulled him: "Follow me." With that, he walked up the stairs of the club.
The two adults are not particularly conspicuous in this kind of pie, because there are many more formally dressed adults here, some of them are university scouts, some are Reipter's teachers, and some are just parents who come to be guardians.
Zach walked up the stairs, paying attention to the steps underfoot, stopping at the third step of the second floor. Zach soon noticed that there were signs of someone prying open on the wooden steps against the corner. Zach dispersed the teenagers who were chatting against the wall, crouched down under James' cover, and brushed aside the planks of the stairs. A crumpled bag of oiled paper was taken out by Zack and stuffed into his pocket.
"What is this?" James frowned, watching Zach's movements, not feeling that the vampire was doing something legitimate.
"You want to know?" Zach stood up, leaning forward against the railing of the stairs and looking up to the floor. Lola walked out of the inside with an angry face, pushed away a group of boys and girls in the way, and rushed out of the club.
"Get out of here first. Zach said to James with a small smile on his face.
James hesitated for a moment, but followed Zach away from the pie and returned to Benjamin's van for the time being. James was a little surprised that the driver was not Benjamin, so he very 'consciously' sat in the passenger seat.
"What about Benjamin?"
"Sleep. Zach started the car.
James looked alertly in the direction of travel, in the direction of Liszt Street and his house, and then breathed a sigh of relief, and asked casually, "Is it so early?"
"Oh, Detective Lance forgot about it, and we've known each other for a month?" Zach chuckled, with something special.
"Oh. James understood.
James had been in this dirty and dilapidated van many times, and as he got to know Grande, he gradually realized that it was not Benjamin's laziness, but on purpose. The mirrors, the windows, are covered in mud to make sure that no one expects them to print a reflection, and even the mirrors in the car are broken!
James didn't forget his original question, "What are you doing here, and what is that paper bag you took out?"
Zach still avoided the first question, "You mean this?" He took the steering wheel with one hand, took the bag out of his pocket, and threw it to James, with an eerie smile on his face: "It's a 'despair' of the soul." ”
James, who was about to open the paper bag, stopped his hand and stared at the thing that was lying on his lap, not knowing what to do.
"Don't be afraid, open it and take a look. Zach smiled and encouraged James.
James hesitated, then reached out and opened the paper bag. The paper wrapper had two layers, and the inner layer of paper was written on it, and inside it was a small bundle of tied hair, a somewhat wet seed-like thing.
"What is this?" asked James.
"Don't you know the Indian script? "The vampire is seducing.
James put his hair and seeds in a paper bag, picked up the oiled paper and lit it to the lights outside the car, and read: "Run, vengeance is coming." James frowned, "What do you mean?"
"Ugh. The vampire was amused, "That's the name, Detective Lance, the name of the Indians!
James's face was actually slightly red, and he held up the oiled paper again.
"'Ryan, Rivench is here. Your father and I could no longer protect you, and he burned your body. Run, my son, I'm glad you got a new body. Yes, we have been watching you and we want you to have a new life. I know you have countless questions, but I don't have time to answer them for you......"
James's face was a little gloomy, and he looked at Zack, who was driving seriously, and he still didn't know how the vampires were involved.
"'Ryan, you're different from your brother. He has been completely consumed by hatred, and he will not understand you now. So, run away, my son, and I hope you'll never need to use this Soul Grass seed I have for you......"
James was in a mixed mood, and he looked at the vampire: "So what is this Ryan?"
"Earthbinding. Zach replied, "You know that in the funeral rites of India, there is a custom of filling the coffin with soul-attracting grass. ”
"I know that in order for the dead to be able to find a way back. James frowned, is this true?!
"Answer the questions in your heart. Zach smiled, "That's fake." Soul Grass is only useful in the hands of wizards, who can use it to summon the undead. Of course, there are times when there are surprises. ”
"What do you mean?" asked James, hating Zach's way of controlling the direction of the conversation—halfway through the conversation.
"Didn't you do an investigation into Rivench, what happened to his brother?" Zach asked rhetorically.
James tugged at the corners of his mouth and recalled: "The investigation said that he drank some kind of herbal tea, and then died suddenly on the eve of the game. ”
"Well, this is an accident. Zach tilted his head and said indifferently: "Soul Grass attracts souls, and if you are still alive and eat it by mistake, that thing is deadly." You will become a groundbinder, forever bound in the Land of the Dead. ”
With a frown, James picked up the paper bag with the Soul Grass seed wrapped in his lap and threw it in front of the front window, continuing to read the words on the oiled paper.
"'I've cast a spell on the seed, save a strand of hair, a drop of blood......'"
James's face turned gloomy, and these things really made him feel uncomfortable. At this point, he flipped over the oiled paper, and there was still a line on the back.
“‘&*(......&%......%*¥¥#’”
James read the meaningless text in confusion, "What?"
"It's a spell, Lance Detective, a soul-inducing spell. The vampire grinned, "Look, the spell worked. ”
"What......"
James shakes off the oil paper that suddenly burns!
"What did you make me do!" James's face was full of horror! The flames enveloped the entire sheet of paper in an instant, and in a moment it turned to ashes, and Zach reached over and rolled down the passenger window, and the black-gray ash flew out under the air current!
"Don't make a fuss, Detective Reims!" the vampire's light green eyes curled, "You've just saved a soul, be happy, James Lance, say hello to Ryan!"
"What!" James was in the passenger seat, afraid of flying upside down with ashes on his body, "what did you say?!"
"You!" an unfamiliar voice came from the back seat of the van, "I saw you and Rivench together! I didn't know that murderers could be detectives now!"
"Don't say that, Ryan. Zach tilted his head and looked at the 'man' in the back seat: "He saved your soul, you should thank him!"
A chill spread from the back of James's neck to his body!
Like burning paper, the boy in the back seat is covered in hollow holes! There are red irregular circles of light around the holes, like burnt white paper! But these holes are slowly closing, restoring a complete, translucent body of a teenager wearing a quarterback jacket!
There are illusory sparks fluttering in the back seat, slowly gathering on the boy's body, and the boy's face is constantly recovering and clear!
"Kang, Connor!" James stared at the face.
"No, Connor is dead! He was caught, tied hand and foot, and stuffed into the trunk of the car!Dragged to a basement where he didn't know where, and then his body was doused with gasoline, and under his cries, no one came to save him, and he was burned to ashes!" Ryan leaned forward in the face of the sparks, and approached James, who was staring at him in horror, "And you, you didn't stop him! You, murderer!"
Zach stopped the car, this is Liszt's backstreet, "Detective Lance, it's home!
