20 Expect a difficult dinner

By the time the Fourth Wave of Padon had left, Zack's list had already been filled. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 I'm afraid it's the season, and the dusk doesn't get much dusk or dusk, it's gray and dark, and Zach prepares to pass the list to Newton's Black Witch when it's completely dark, which is Alice's daily homecoming time, which means, "Leo, you're the last." ”

Disgusted, "Charlie's blood hasn't been drained yet." ”

"I said I don't need your help. Zach waved his hand, since Patton was out of the interracial and no longer needed to provide privacy for the interracial who 'shared secrets', Zach asked directly on the back porch, looking at the Austin workers on the south side who were putting the finishing touches, "Tell me directly, I'm not in the mood to make the upcoming dinner more difficult right now." ”

This was said in a very prescient way - Zach had foreseen that he would be on the throne for dinner today. There are a lot of reasons.

First of all, Austin, who has already come over, the contractor who has been 'living' with Grande for more than a month is finally about to be handed over, and Grande's living area has been officially completed. The celebration banquet is not counted, but the dinner is bound to stay in the Grande.

Then, there were Grande's own employees, the Bain family, who officially moved in with the completion of the living quarters. It would be fine if there were only three people in Bain, but this time it was different, it was all nine employees of the Grande cemetery. There are two reasons for this, the first is naturally the congratulations from the employees who have been working together for almost half a year to Bane's move, and the second is to listen to the old Hank's original words: "These guys don't need to know what those 'weird' people are here to do!

Can you hear it, Hank Sr. turned Patton's 'secret sharing' to Zack into a hot interview for Grande's job offer......

Then there's the unpleasantness of Grande's funeral work - Allen's funeral home has unilaterally promised the client the price of the cemetery and the coffin, and Louise and Seme have a bit of a conflict when communicating with the client. As mentioned earlier, the cooperation between the funeral homes this time was not smooth.

While Zach, the boss, was in the basement watching Charlie blet and interviewing new employees, Grande, Allen's funeral representative and Louise stepped up to work and set a temporary set of internal price standards for the funeral industry.

To quote Louise, "We lost a lot! I didn't expect Ellen to be so unreasonable! I suspect they deliberately set the funeral time so tight today, just to force us not to negotiate properly! Now they still have the face to stay for dinner! When I proposed, it was polite! Polite! Look at their smug expressions! I, I really want to, I really want to ......"

Finally, to hell with Zack's entire 'vampire shouldn't mess with hate' speech, reporter Kate arrives.

But her purpose is not Zach.

It's Austin - "This is the second time you've worked with Grande, and I learned that in the first cooperation, due to an accident, Grande successfully avoided all the construction costs, and you lost a lot, and this time you worked with Grande, I wonder if there was any accident?"

It's Bain -- "You were the first employee to move into a funeral home after the privatization of the funeral industry, did you know that your house did not belong to you, and did you understand that your home and Grande were in a mere lease relationship after the city stopped granting them to the funeral public authorities?"

It's Allen's employee—"Did you encounter any difficulties in cooperating with the first funeral home?" Hehe, in addition to the fact that I already knew about Mr. Allen and Mr. Grande's restraining order, I noticed that Miss Louise, who was in charge of negotiations on Grande's side, did not look good. ”

It's Tamm and Leo, well, the only 'interview' that makes Zach feel better, these two people who don't like each other but are stuck in Grande have the same reaction when they face Kate-

"Are you here to look for a job in Grande? I noticed that the other interviewees have left, and you are staying, can I please tell us what questions you were asked by Mr. Grande during the interview at Grande? ”

"Stay away from me, miss, I don't want to hurt you. ”

......

But what ultimately led Kate to stay here for dinner was to get ready for the 'high-tide-' -- "There's no bus? Why did the bus stop running in the South Side?, uh, can I borrow a phone, I'll call my boyfriend and ask him to pick me up." ”

The only thing Zach said to Kate's smiling face - "Hehe, of course, please." ”

Oh, whether it's James or not, Zach can't stop the smile on his face, the only thing that makes this dinner a little anticipating......

Finally said all this bunch of reasons, back to the present.

Zach sat on the bench and watched as Tamm had joined in the work of helping Mo set up the tables and chairs in the backyard. The Grande restaurant can accommodate more than that, so when you need to hire farmers in the past, thank everyone for helping with the outdoor long tables, and there are more than one, one for the employees of the Grande, one for the workers in Austin, and one for the Grande 'family'.

Listening to the words of a little helplessness, "I said I wanted to help, I just wanted to help!" Leo dropped this sentence, and also went to the kitchen, and when he came out again, he held a brazier with a strange face, walked to the center of the backyard, hesitated, and handed it out directly to Ryan.

Zach raised an eyebrow and scooped up Matthew as he passed by, "What did Mo do? What did that thing do? Isn't that thing a little small?"

Matthew blinked, "'Hot pot', that's what Mo said, she said she wasn't in the mood to cook dinner for so many people, and everyone was in the mood to use this thing." ”

Zach glanced at the plate full of raw meat in Matthew's hand, not bothering to pay attention to it. After thinking about it for a while, he went to the office, and it didn't matter if Leo was alone, Zach was eighty percent sure that Leo, like Tam, hadn't been taken anything by Papa at midnight.

Add a note from Leo, make a phone call, stuff the full list into the fax machine, watch the list be swallowed up, tear it up and light it when it is spit out, Zach goes downstairs again, and takes another look at Charlie before the uncomfortable dinner begins.

"I've always wanted to kill a vampire. ”

Someone is in the basement.

"You're back. Zach glanced at the translucent body, O'Neill Fury looked no different than yesterday, still in a dangerous state that would disappear into heaven and earth at any time, "Do you know that Corden was waiting for you until midnight in the Grand yesterday. ”

"I know. O'Neill moved a little closer to the pale Charlie on the stone platform, as if he didn't care about the dripping red, "Fortunately he's here, and I don't want to be with him again." There was a smile on his transparent face, as if to remind Zach to pay attention-

O'Neill reached for Charlie's dripping blood. The finger that should have been 'melted' by blood in an instant lasted for two seconds.

Zach raised an eyebrow, "What is this?" Please don't tell Zack, now that even the soon-to-be-hung Earth Bound has found a way to stop being afraid of vampire blood.

"It's a little trick. O'Neill withdrew his fingers, which were still melting, flicked them at his side, and snorted, "Magic, Remer's." Then he circled around Zach, "Your friend, Eve taught me." "So the 'trick' is just the sorcerer's pride, and he doesn't want to admit that magic is just as magical as witchcraft, but his words are fair, "Oh, after all, when it comes to the coexistence of souls and vampire blood, Remer, who is half-human and half-vampire, is an expert. ”

Zach was more concerned about—"You're looking for Eve?"

"Well, I'm not going to go, I'm bored and wandering to the West End, ready to see your achievements on the Barton family's side. "This guy is quite serious, I know to go and see Zach to help him prevent the future revenge of the Fury Waves family against Barton," and then he was stopped by a strange Republican halfway, and your friend helped me. ”

Zach's point of concern shifted, "Strange republicans." Well, isn't it tall, thin, with a smile on his face, in Yuri's house, called 'Maitreya'?"

"Tall, skinny, right. Smile? No, very serious. And what is 'Maitreya'? The mantra that he almost made me hang up?"

"He wants to kill you?" Zach raised an eyebrow.

"Strange ......" O'Neill stopped in the air, as if thinking, "I didn't feel 'killed'......" Glancing at Zach, "I can't describe that feeling, huh." Then he laughed, "I'm just a novice to Earth Bondage, I don't know what it's like to be 'killed', hehe, I don't even feel pain." So, how do I know. I just felt my slings shrink as he read things he didn't understand to me, but I didn't have any definite sense of crisis. Strange, indescribable. ”

Zach waved his hand, and continued to put his attitude towards that Maitreya, "You should go to Mo and ask." ”

"I will. Continuing to lean over the pale Charlie, "Are you going to kill him, or what?" I really don't see. ”

"Didn't your family teach you the last name of a vampire? Zach's explanation was just to reassure Charlie, and if the paleness could be measured, Charlie's face turned a little whiter when O'Neill said the topic of 'killing'. But no matter what Charlie was thinking now, he couldn't express it, and he still had a cloth in his mouth.

Zach had a more concerned topic, "You said Eve taught you 'little tricks'?"

"Well, after she said that Sbella was looking for me, and I told her I would stay in Grande. O'Neill smiled again, "What is the relationship between Sibella and Remer?" I have a feeling that Eve seems to think that it is a good thing for me to stay in Grande. ”

Zach opened his mouth, a little embarrassed, how to explain this, "I may or may not have it, well, when Ramel came to Barton, let Ramer be wary of the wizards of Sbella. "In the spontaneous combustion of the enchantment, Zach made Eve clearly realize that Barton's wizards are dangerous and can do anything, "but in general, Barton's forces are very united. ”

"Hehe, when you say unity, you mean that Reimer doesn't want Sbella to recruit another wizard family to Barton, so Eve doesn't want me to hang up, but she doesn't want me to be in Sbella's hands either. Ha, stay in Grande, just right, and then, I need to point out the ability to protect myself around the vampires. Unity is to be united by your side. ”

Zach smiled, "You're smart. But still. Zach looked at O'Neill with an illustrative look, "You can't stay at Grande like this all the time. Have you thought about your choice, I don't think the freedom you want is the freedom of the wanderings. ”

O'Neill's head nodded, "I'm thinking about phantoms." "You know what this is saying, the path O'Neill will take when he finally progresses to a new life form after having had enough of the Groundbinders. But right away, he smiled and shook his head, "But seeing your phantom ......" Danny, "hehe, I'm afraid I'm not hiding far enough, I think it's better to forget it." ”

Hey, Kate is here, so Danny is going to hide. It's still the kind of hilarious helpless fact that Danny is worried that he accidentally fulfilled Kate's desire and got Zach into another dimension.

"Then you don't have much choice. Restricting more shadows and dreamers who had already stepped into the Illusory Realm were abandoned, Zach looked at O'Neal, "You have left the position of the Binding Spirit, and possession is no longer possible." "Isn't Ryan lucky enough to have Herman's son in the Groundbinding? Zach asked, "Do you want to be like your brother?"

"Nope. O'Neill still smiled, "I used my own physical death to get rid of the conflict of interests of the wizarding family, and I didn't want to be drawn into the battle of another faith. I don't even think about the dead spirits of the Holy Lord's faith. ”

With Tamu's number two as a foreshadowing, Zach didn't ignore the other one this time, "Mo, are you also thinking about the 'ghost' of the republic." ”

"Why not~" It seems to be hitting the bull's-eye, O'Neill smiled, "She's special, isn't she~"

"Your own choice. Zach shrugged, "But I'll warn you that you may have missed your chance." "When Mo explained the 'ghosts' of the republic to Two, he did say that he didn't go through the state of the Earth Bondage. O'Neill isn't skipping the Earthbinding, it's interrupting, there's a difference.

"There's always a way. O'Neill circled around the stone platform and returned to his original words, "Really, I've always wanted to try what it's like to kill vampires, but unfortunately, I couldn't find any ...... before coming to Barton."

Don't worry about Charlie's life because of this sentence. Remember the witchcraft that burned a small hole in Zack's chest, O'Neill's incessant statements at this time had no practical meaning, just that he remembered his lost life. (To be continued.) )
