Because Zach greeted him in advance, Maddison had been waiting in front of the mill early. The construction of the mill was completed a week ago, and the sign of the’Grand House’ was also standing in front of the door. Maddison was a little nervous and introduced the real Boss to the new employees here.

Zach waved his hand indifferently, and followed Maddison into the basement. The silver metal cabinet was against the wall, and a slight coldness was revealed. Maddison checked the information and opened a cabinet door.

“Chris Irwin, 32 years old, male…”

Madison who was reading the information was interrupted by Benjamin and took the information, “You can go out. “

“Oh.” Maddison withdrew silently, leaving the two behind.

The cabinet was completely pulled out, and Zakla opened the white plastic bag to reveal the body inside. The white frost covered the skin, which made the black red stitches on his chest very obvious.

Benjamin looked through the information. There is not much recorded on it. After all, it was sent by the Barton Southern Police Department. Because this Chris is not at all of his family, he can only temporarily store it here. .

“This wound is really messy.” Zach tilted his head and stared at Chris’ left chest. Even after stitching, he can still see the uneven cuts, which is really hard to imagine , What kind of consideration is it for me to insert a knife into my heart…

“Chaos is normal.” Benjamin did not find anything useful in the record. “The wound is not clean, which means it is not He kills.”

Zack is nodded, if it is homicide, the wound is at least smooth. He looked at all around, found gloves and scissors, and cut the forensic suture.

“Well–” Zakla made a long voice, opened his chest, and let Benjamin see it, “What do you think?”

James on the phone The description is not accurate. On the exposed heart, two oblique wounds form a small X-shaped mark, which is the real fatal injury. The muscles of the ventricles were punctured, and the bleeding directly caused death.

“Did he draw it himself?” Benjamin frowned and looked at Chris’s face that harmless to humans and animals. The more he didn’t understand, what kind of mentality was this guy? Would you like to draw an x on your heart? Benjamin is now considering the authenticity of’suicide’.

“No.” Zach sighed for no reason, and shook his head: “He did it himself.”

“What do you know?” Benjamin looked at Zach’s expression “Have you seen such a situation?”

“Unfortunately, I have seen it.” Zach closed the wound again, after thinking about it, he took the needle and thread, and started to sew the pitiful person again .

“This is a mark, an exclusive mark, which means that this body and his soul belong to someone.” Zach’s face was, uh, with a hint of admiration, “and , This mark shouldnt be cut. This means that the contract is over and the exclusiveness is broken. Zach leaned forward, leaning against the frost-covered Chris, and exclaimed heartily: You are a brave People, you are free and wish you to go to heaven. But you committed suicide, so… I wish you a happy life in hell.”

Benjamin raised his eyebrows, he didnt like vampires. An eccentric tone: “What are you talking about? Crossroads Devil? The contract with Crossroads only charges souls. I don’t know that they are also interested in the body. Moreover, the contract can be broken in this way? I have never heard of it. . And this is an X, not a cross.”

“Well, Benjamin, you are still too young.” Zach smiled at Benjamin, and only Zach was qualified to say that waswolf: “This is not made by the Devil of Crossroads, but another ancient, uh, man. We call him’Papa Midnight’.”

Benjamins face, after Zach said the name, Gloomy.

Please understand Benjamins emotional changes. We already know that vampires cant walk into the homes of Indian bloodline people without accepting invitations. This is because the former aborigines rejected the invasion of colonists. The curse planted by these Outsiders.

Of course, in addition to restricting the actions of vampires, the former aborigines also took other insurance measures. One of them is: using the “Gangelo” of the vampire clan that has the ability to transform, to create the natural enemy of vampires-werewolves.

Of course, all these incredible things should be attributed to an “old” person who is the ancestor of witchcraft. Zach said, please call him’Papa Midnight’.

For such a mysterious and magical thing, of course, I am curious to question the vampire.

“Why is X? Does this mark have any special meaning?” I asked.

The vampire thought for a while, and asked me: “If you go to put the cross of St. Bishop Church diagonally, and then announce the establishment of a new church, what will happen?”

” I think I will be beaten by the priest.”

“Well, that’s right. This is the effect that’Papa Midnight’ wants.” The vampire replied.

“Oh.” I thought for a while, and seemed to understand something. I don’t know why, but I sympathized with this ancient man. Perhaps, it has something to do with the main belief of the Federation, or Saint bishop.

Farewell to Madison, Benjamins truck returned to Highway 27, but the direction was not to go south back to Grande House, but to continue north, and west when he first entered the North District Turn, [Pai Si Ying] of Towards the West drove.

Although it is still a working day, there are still many people in Paisins residential area. Zach will not judge these people for idleness, because most of them are low-income earners with unstable working hours.

There is no change here and the last time Zach visited during the night. The dilapidated mailbox, the crooked fence, and the neglected street.

Benjamin was a little surprised. Zach pushed aside the fence of’Shifeng’ house and rang the doorbell.

“They actually invited you in?!” The werewolf shook his head and also stood on the decaying porch.

Zach smiled as it should be by rights and continued to ring the doorbell.

The ancestor of witchcraft will appear in Barton City. The only possibility is that the couple summoned him. Except for them, no one in Barton possesses such abilities. Zach has some guesses about the reason for summon, but he is not sure.

“Hey! You two!” On one side of the fence, a middle-aged man wearing loose overalls, lying on the fence, asked with caution: “Who are you looking for?”

“Corden.” (Ryan’s father) Zach turned and smiled at the stranger. He was already paying attention to the movement in the house, but he didn’t at all hear anyone at home.

“Oh, he is not here.” The middle-aged man put down his guard. Since he can call the abbreviation, he should be someone he knows. He pushed open the fence next to Ji Feng Family and took out the key. It was the neighbor who lived next to him. In such a community, neighbours must take care of each other. The middle age person waved to Zach: “They are often not at home during this time. What can you do? I can leave you a message.”

“Thank you so much.” Zach exited the front porch and smiled at the middle age person. “Tell him that’Grand’ has been here. I have something to discuss with him.”

“Glan De? Grande of that funeral home?” The middle age person was suddenly nodded, and then murmured as if talking to himself, “Poor Ryan, he does need a new home. By the way, you guys. You can go to the old cemetery to see, maybe they will be there.”

Zach and Benjamin looked at each other, it seems that Ryan was dug up in this area is not a secret. As a hunter, Ravenge had too many loopholes in their actions.

After thanking the middle-aged neighbors, Zach and Benjamin got in the car again and drove out Paisin. Todays itinerary is a bit boring. It seems to have been on the road. The next stop once belonged to [Fords Funeral Home]s cemetery.

Zach rarely visits his colleagues and has not conducted any friendly inspections. Now when he came to the grave area where Ford used to be at the junction of north and south, he was taken aback.

This is no longer what the cemetery looks like. People in formal clothes and work clothes can be seen everywhere, they are explaining and arguing with the crying citizens.

Now Zach realizes that it is not Ravench’s actions that have loopholes, but that the city government has caused public outrage.

When the cemetery is still under the jurisdiction of the city government, the government will renovate the cemetery every several decades. Some places will be planned for urban construction, and some places will be reserved as new cemeteries. A persons grave does not exist forever. In a cemetery, there is usually a small plot of land, or a memorial hall, densely gathered with a large number of tombstones. This is where the real deceased live forever.

This is very common in other parts of the Federation, but in Barton, it has not happened yet. Because Barton is a new city, the city government does not need to kill people.

The trial of the privatization of funerals in Massa this time directly cut off Barton’s slow adaptation to this phenomenon. As a result, some people born in Barton City cannot accept the fact that the deceased will be disturbed, and are arguing with city government staff.

Zach can see that the north, the cemetery where the guilty is usually buried, has been completely opened, and the cemetery of those who don’t care is naturally the first to be destroyed. The construction line isolates the land. I dont know what will be built there in the future. In other cemeteries, there are also staff members holding mine-sweeping instruments to detect things.

“Don’t touch my grandma! You bandits!!”

Listening to the cry of a middle-aged woman next to him, Zach unconsciously thought of the Grande Will the cemetery in the Western Region be the same?

Zach shook his head with a wry smile, thinking about how it is possible. Most of the burials in the Western Region are the pioneers of Barton City, and Anthony probably dare not touch the land there easily.

The two wandered around in the cemetery, not at all they found the silhouette of the couple. They realized that for nothing.

“Where are we going now?” Benjamin asked the thinking Zach with the steering wheel in one hand and without starting the truck.

“Go to James? He should know some clues.” Zach was not sure about it, and proposed.

“Okay.” Benjamin started the truck.

Zachs uncertainty comes from not knowing where things are going. Papa midnight, in Indian witchcraft, he is like the holy father of the holy bishop, if the bizarre suicide of Barton City is related to him, the vampire does not know how to face him, the Grande House.
