When the Tempricals left, they made it clear that they would continue their ongoing campaign to 'spread the word of resignation', for which James had nothing to say but to 'warn' the two men against being discovered by the Patton Police Department.

Zack's offer to send the two back is refused, and the werewolf and vampire exchange glances, and Zach stays in James's attic, while Benjamin follows the Windwinds up Liszt Street.

"What did you give. Benjamin walked next to Sbella, looking like a normal family shopping, a middle-aged son and an aging parent, "What did you pay for the midnight deal with Papa?"

Kirden pulled his wife over and glared at the werewolf, "This has nothing to do with you!"

Sbella's thin hand pressed her husband's shoulder, "It's okay, he's the good one, I can feel it." ”

Zach once explained the relationship between werewolves and wizards under my constant harassment, and I think you need to know as well.

Very, very long ago, in the colonial era, werewolves and wizards were one family. Yes, I'm talking about, one! family!

Under the sorcerer's bloodline, some children inherited the abilities of their parents, while others were ungifted, so in order to protect their homeland from the invasion of the colonists, the sorcerers turned to their ancestor Papa Midnight for help. So those children who did not become wizards received the blood of the vampire 'Gangaro', bore the curse of the full moon, and became werewolves.

And we know that times are always changing. When the Federation was formed, wizards were still wizards, they were legal residents of the Federation, but those who had given their bodies and souls had no home to protect and became aliens.

So those werewolves left their homes with loneliness, hid in the mountains and forests, looked for their own kind, formed a new family - wolves, and created 'beasts' to protect them, and finally returned to the original intention of protecting the family.

There is no need to feel any sadness at this time, because there are also wizards who can't let go of their former brothers and family members and join the wolves, which is a heartwarming story. With this as a heritage, the powerful wolf pack will be accompanied by wizards.

As I said, times are always changing.

The prosperity of the Federation is the prosperity of people. Aliens began to be marginalized, 'monsters'. This is the time when it should be sad, because the wizard who hid in the mountains and forests for the sake of his former family will die, but the wolves will always exist, and the majority of the people will continue to grow.

It is impossible to verify which side spilled the first drop of blood. Some wolves began to prey on wizards, while others became hunters, and the times have reached this point.

So when Sbella said that Benjamin was 'good' this time, she was serious, and after living together in Barton City for more than ten years, the single Alpha didn't come to bother the Tempest family.

"I gave myself. Instead of looking at Benjamin, Sbella pressed her right hand on her left chest, "When I ......"

Benjamin nodded silently, Papa Midnight was not enough to force his descendants to die, and then turn into a Dead Apostle. Silbella offered her 'life' after her death in exchange for a Midnight help from Papa.

"You should come to Grande. Benjamin thought for a moment and said, "Alice can help you." ”

Alice is a banshee, she can see death, and if she wants to escape death and delay her fate as Papa's Midnight Death, Alice is the only way.

Bella had a helpless smile on her face: "It was midnight in Papa, he never cared about that! he just wanted to watch us 'perform' under the rules he had set, I wouldn't entertain him with my life!"

The werewolf chuckled, it was the most objective assessment of Papa Midnight he had ever heard. Remember what the vampire said about Papa's Midnight? Benjamin put away his smile and sighed helplessly: "Now, what you are doing may be what he wants to see." ”

With a wry smile on her face, Sbella acquiesced.

Benjamin said goodbye to the Tempest at the end of Liszt Street, and finally said 'take care' and turned back to James's house.

The living room of James's house was still a sofa that was not like a stone, and the crystal coffee table in front of Zach was covered with white paper. Zach held the pen and drew a simple structural diagram on the paper.

At the top of the tree was written 'Papa Midnight', with a question mark placed below, and below that, the names of all the suicides James knew, and more.

This structure is already very obvious. If you think of Papa Midnight as the boss of a business, then the question mark on the second level is the manager in the middle, and then the downline employees at the bottom.

James stared at the lowest level, frowned and asked, "Why do you conclude that the people who commit suicide are all low-level people?"

"Because they're the ones who do things. Zach rightly said, "The middlemen are only responsible for recruitment, and they know that whoever they kill, he will be resurrected and become an employee." Is this a stress that needs to be relieved of suicide? No. ”

"I need more proof!" James stared at the vampire.

"That's your proof. Zach took out the weekly magazine that had been stuffed in his pocket, flipped to the article with an unusually tongue-twisting name, and pointed to the words of the deceased's family and friends quoted by the author. Every deceased, they were hit by unexpected good fortune before committing suicide.

James read it patiently, and these are no secrets. The reason why this suicide case has attracted attention is that in addition to the strange methods, everyone chooses to end their lives when their lives are being favored, which is very abnormal.

"Is this true?" James unconsciously read the whole article, "This midnight exchange? This is Papa's midnight opening. ”

"Uh-" Zach pouted, "Of course it's not true! You're a Patton cop, you've seen this place on a map of Patton?" Zach laughed, "But it's right, the employees are paid, but they don't get the job done." ”

James threw away the magazine, and what exactly was the job, Zach said, 'Even if I die, I don't want to do the job'.

"What are we going to do?" James picked up the paper from the coffee table in annoyance, staring at the top 'Papa Midnight'.

"You're looking at the wrong place. Zach directly pressed James's hand, tore off the top 'Papa Midnight', and waved it in front of James with a mocking smile: "This guy, don't even think about it." Zach tore off the bottom pile of names and question marks and threw them on the coffee table: "These, give them to the Tempests." You can't deny it, they're good at that. ”

Zach finally pointed to the big question mark in the middle: "That's what we're going to do." ”

James's eyes were still nostalgic for the question marks that had been torn off and placed on the coffee table, and he didn't know how many people in Barton City would commit suicide in such a strange way in the future! Such an unknown made him distressed.

After a moment of silence, James withdrew his gaze and stared at the big question mark still in his hand: "How do we find this, or these middlemen?"

Zach nodded in satisfaction and patted James on the shoulder: "You said that the deceased was abducted, not the Windbreakers, so who do you think it will be?" Detective Lance, work harder, do your job, we will find out." ”

The goal was clear, and James put it to work.
