18 Thursday's start

Like yesterday, today also began with a phone call between two people, one of Barton's powerful men and the other of Madison. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ๏ฝ‚๏ฝ‰๏ฝ‘U๏ฝ‡Eใ€‚ info Madison can leave it alone, this call continues, we can still keep up, let's talk about the former first.

The first call was from Mayor Anthony, and it wasn't a big deal, just about a truant teenager who didn't show up at school, "I still write him a monthly check for child support, so I have a responsibility to discipline him!" she (Athera) said!!*! This woman doesn't know what it means to be 'without custody!!

Zach could understand the mayor's irritability when he was dealing with a bunch of work early in the morning, but, "Oh. โ€

"Oh! Is he (Caesar) with you?!"

Caesar, who was across from Zack, made a gag motion at Zack, so Zack's answer was this, "He's right in front of me, and I'll send him back to Reipter." โ€

Hehe, but Zach didn't send the speechless Caesar back to school right away, and Madison's call came, and we just picked it up.

"I'm going to shut down part of the mill. Madison on the other side of the earpiece seemed to be well thought out.

Zach was quiet for a moment, "Okay." "There's nothing to say, Madison's tone, not to discuss with his boss, but to inform.

"Uh...... It's simple. "Whatever, the morgue will continue to be maintained, but the incineration room is closed, and if there are any customers who are in a hurry to have a funeral in the near future, I will move to Grande." โ€

"Okay. "Still, Madison is informed, so ......

"Uh, don't you have anything to say?" said Madison, who was in the earpiece, looking a little impatient.

"Wellโ€”no. Zach shook his head at the air.

"Tsk, so be it! I wrote down the details of the closure of some of the business in the work report, and Matthew will send it to you right away, employee vacations, job adjustments, and expected financial ......" Halfway through, Madison himself felt that it was meaningless, "Uh, it's all in there, you can see for yourself! Or, throw it to Louise! I don't care!"

"Okay. Zach nodded, pointing to Caesar, who was about to stand up, and gestured his hand to signal the truant boy not to move.

"Okay!" Madison didn't want to say goodbye to his boss and pressed the phone.

Zach also put down the phone, crossed his hands, and then looked at Caesar properly, "Why are you, well, skipping school?"

First shrug, then "I'm so bored." โ€

Zach raised an eyebrow and took the generic answer for the time being, "So, you're here? If you're going to visit your biological father, it's a little early, don't you think?"

"Uh, who's going to see him. Caesar rolled his eyes, thinking he was dashing and lifted his legs up to Zack's desk, "Hmph, as if I don't have enough 'father' right now......"

With a flick of a finger, Zach made Caesar's words jam in half, and his whole body lost balance in the chair and rolled to the ground.

"Ahh

Zach shrugged indifferently and stood up, "Let's go, I'll take you back to school." โ€

"I'm not going back to Reipter!" Caesar actually sat back in his chair.

Here's the thing, last Sunday night, the mayoral candidates had a public debate, don't think too exaggerated, just a city mayoral competition, although the debate was broadcast by the local channel, but the scale was quite small, the whole process was the host watching two people press the speakerphone, talking to the audience outside the TV. So the next day's political talk show was not as enthusiastic about this debate as Sharp was about the marriage......

But last night, two mayoral candidates attended a charity dinner hosted by Mrs. Quinn on the West Side with donations from the shelter. It was no longer a hands-free phone, the two men actually showed up on an occasion, the real debate took place, and the full picture was broadcast.

How to put it, that picture is really not very good-looking. As a result, the newspaper Zach now has only a small paragraph in the social corner of the social section of the newspaper that Zach has in hand about what the asylum has achieved since it was taken over by the Quin Group, and the entire page is occupied by this 'real' debate.

I won't repeat the whole report, let's describe a picture - Anthony and Aethera in fancy clothes are pushed away by the security guards, and in the background, Caesar, wearing a bow tie, carries a bottle of red wine, tilts his head, and looks at the 'war' between his mother and his previous stepfather.

So, the reason Caesar is here today is not 'boring'.

"Pay attention to the language. Zach reminded Caesar of his upbringing, and then, "Come on, I never said I'd send you back to school right away, and we, well, will probably take a long detour." โ€

Caesar's eyes lit up, and he immediately stood up and followed Zach closely, "What are we going to do?!Will we kill someone?!Please, let's go kill someone!"

Zach curled the corners of his mouth and shook his head, "No, we're not going to kill anyone, Benjamin will be together." โ€

"Uh......" was actually a disappointing tone, "Can we get rid of him!"

"No, believe it or not, I finally got him to agree to follow. โ€

"Whatever. Caesar was like a puppy, going round and round around Zack, you know, well, the excitement of being taken out by his master, "So where are we going? What are we going to do?"

"Paisying, Parker Elementary, we're going to kidnap someone. โ€

"Wow~ Finally!" Caesar looked satisfied, "The guy who sucks the blood of the sheep has finally grown eggs!"

Eggs, uh, you know, are the two things that are always used to tie up someone's male characterization......

Zach still frowned, "Pay attention to the language. Shaking his head, "Seriously, where did you learn that?"

"Sissi!" Caesar raised an eyebrow, "she once described you like this, 'I knew vampires don't have souls, huh, but I didn't think he didn't even have eggs!'......"

Zach pouted, probably guessing that this was after he had made it clear that there was nothing he could do about something.

"And I totally agree!" Caesar looked at Zach defiantly, "Now! let me look the other way!"

Okay, such a simple wish, it can be easily fulfilled. Zach lifted Caesar in a circle and threw him straight up the stairs, and after Caesar's unprepared scream was interrupted by Benjamin, who caught him, Zach confessed to Benjamin, "Tie him to the back seat." โ€

Then Zach turned and went to the basement first, where Louise was underneath.

Something happened to Grandry last night as Zach struggled to wipe out his adventurous team with no magician, no priest, and a knight with bad intentions.

Maya helped Louise tidy up the basement while teaching Alice sorcery, which meant that instead of looking like witchcraft materials stuffed into a box, they were based on efficacy and maintenance...... All the rules of witchcraft that Louise couldn't understand, everything that belonged to Sem was put away.

At the same time, Louise also asked about Ms. Trisha when Maya and Alice were tidying up the basement as Zach had explained.

Of course, since there are certain things that Alice shouldn't know, Louise asks very skillfully. It's going to go around in a big circle again, let's try to understand.

Hasn't the port of Massa been shut down cargo ships lately, which means that many crew members like Kyle's classmates have been stranded in Patton, and there are no friends like Kyle who dare to go directly to Fisher to question them, these people are equivalent to being trapped without a job. Now that Grande's new living quarters are nearing completion, it means that Grande is ready to welcome the new employees. Finally, there are rumors that Barton is about to have a lot of job opportunities, and now, it's a chance for Grande to grab people. Grande needs someone who can say good things about Grande in front of some people who are now out of work. Then, wasn't Miss Cuisha's husband a worker in Massa Harbor before his death, she knew at least some people in Massa Harbor, and needless to say, Teacher Cuisha had a very good impression of Grande.

So, he brought the topic to Teacher Cuisha quite smoothly, which not only avoided making Maya worry about her high density, but also successfully concealed the real reason for paying attention to Teacher Cuisha from Alice. Then the innocuous 'girl's business' lie, just when Alice herself felt that it was better for her family's career, she took the initiative to confess.

As a result, Zach learned that Tsui Sha was not recuperating at home because she was single and pregnant, and was still working all day at [Parker Elementary]. Unless Lola's gang of girls forcibly drove Cuisha home and forcibly took away her elementary school and nursery jobs for extracurricular credits, this woman was definitely in school.

That's why Zach is going to [Parker Elementary] today to kidnap this teacher who spends all his time educating people. World peace, right?

Zach walked into the basement, where Louise was repeating something a little incomprehensible.

On the right side of the stone platform in the center of the basement, a clearing has been cleared here, and a circle of ritual arrays of Yin'an mantras can be faintly seen in the clearing. The meaning of the incantation was deciphered yesterday when Maya was cleaning up the basement, referencing John's notes that Sam had stolen from John and then copied by Zach for the 'right reasons' -

This is a castrated teleportation sorcery, based on the Papa Midnight Sorcery that teleported from the east coast of the Southside to the Republic on the other side of the world. The point is, this is a castrated version, and this witchcraft ritual array in the basement cannot teleport over long distances, and according to Maya's predictions, the range of this teleportation is probably only as far as the borders of Herman's factory and Paising.

What was Louise doing, well, how could I describe it, she carefully threw paper balls into the witchcraft circle.

"Anything has been teleported away. Zach asked.

Louise shook her head and continued to throw a ball of paper. Like all the paper balls she had thrown before, after touching the ground, she rolled over and stopped. Louise grabbed what resembled a fire-picking stick, hooked the ball out of the witchcraft circle, and continued to throw it.

Zach pursed his lips, "Maybe this witchcraft doesn't work at all......"

"It has!" confirmed Louise.

The reason is still last night, when the three of them were 'chatting' and cleaning up the place, this witchcraft was activated, and nothing disappeared, but something appeared. Twisted and wrinkled, like a crumpled cigarette, suddenly appeared above the wizarding circle, and then fell to the ground summoned by gravity.

No matter how disturbing and incomprehensible the images may be, it explains how things that shouldn't be here came into being.

And this 'smoke' that should not have appeared has now been carefully repaired by Louise with adhesive tape, and placed on the stone platform in an orderly manner. And it was not alone, there were two crumpled cigarettes on the stone platform. The other one was picked up by Zach on the stairs of James's house yesterday.

Zach pursed his lips, took Louise's hand, took the ball of paper that Louise continued to try to throw towards the witchcraft circle, opened it, and there was a sentence on it, "Sam, is that you?"

Regardless of the meaning of this sentence, Zach patted Louise, "Shouldn't you go up too, we're not out of business today." You still have real work to do. โ€

"Okay. Louise pouted, but took the ball of paper from Zack's hand and threw it at the wizarding circle one last time, "Maybe it will disappear on its own." "Shrugged and left.

You can casually say that Zach is an incompetent boss, but at least Zach knows how to urge his 'employees' to return to work before he goes out.

Zach glanced at the paper balls in the witchcraft circle and crooked his mouth. It's time to explain. This is actually a sign of uneasiness, no one likes to live in a house where smoke falls from the sky for no apparent reason, and this 'smoke' has been proven to be a dangerous thing that can make the owner of the house uneasy.

Can she think about it from Louise's point of view, she needs to know that this wizarding array is not teleporting something that will literally send Zack into the sky for no reason. So, she wrote a note asking if whoever had brought the cigarette to Grande had a proper explanation.

Of course, if the sorcery can pass the note back to the person who passed the cigarette.

Zach shook his head, feeling that it was time to move into the master bedroom on the second floor completely, this basement may not be able to live - not to mention Louise's uneasiness, do you think Zach will rest comfortable 'sleeping' in the basement where he will teleport something at any time. Remember that sleeping vampires are the most vulnerable!

Benjamin in the backyard had already begun to honk his horn impatiently, and Zach had no reason to stay in the basement and turned to go up.

Out of the basement, he closed the door casually, and a dark red rose on the edge of the witchcraft circle, and it was wrapped around the paper ball in the witch.

Zach held on to the door, blinking. I don't know at which blink it happened, and the paper ball disappeared.

Zach raised an eyebrow, not sure if he was expecting something and looked at the wizarding array that had returned to normal.

"You can't come!" Benjamin shouted irritably in the car, pressing his hand on the horn and making a screeching noise in the backyard.

Zach took one last look at the wizarding array that didn't move, pursed his lips, couldn't continue to test Benjamin's patience, Zach closed the door and went up. (To be continued.) )
