midnight. ???? Bayi Chinese W㈧W? W ?. ? 8㈠1? Z㈧W㈠. ? C? O㈧M?
James awakened from his sleep. In the dream, Zac and Kate and Georgina hand in hand banged on the bell hanging on their heads. After waking up, the ghost animal dream turned into a real phone ring .
Don't talk about James' dreams, talk about his waking actions.
James sat on the bed for a while, as if waiting for the ringtone to disappear, he didn't want to answer it—as a police detective, he knew exactly what this midnight call meant. This means that the city very unfortunately needs police.
But James does not want to be a ‘policeman’, at least not during this period. Don't go out and stay at home late at night, it's not a meaningless suggestion. Now, this is the rule of life that will keep you alive. Now Barton, at night, there is something more worthy of fear than ghost nightmare.
The ringing of the phone stopped ... well, it was probably just the time for someone to redial, and it was noisy again.
James lifted the quilt and didn't turn on the light. He walked out of the bedroom gloomy and went downstairs slowly, slowly, step by step, as long as possible to drag the time as far as possible to the light flashing in the dark.
After all, he still couldn't delay until the phone sound disappeared. James picked up the receiver and used his least awake and procrastination voice, "Hey--"
"Awake! Lance!" Is Detective Coulson, "Bech had another fire accident !!"
James tightened his body, and the heating in the house seemed to stop working at this moment, and the chill spread from the sole of the foot against the floor. Born again.
"Xxxx" Coulson reported a bunch of addresses, "Hurry up! I'm waiting there ..."
"Is anyone dead." James asked in a cold voice.
"Uh ..." The receiver seemed a little surprised, "No, uh, I don't know." And the explanation, "I was also notified by the policeman! Hurry up! We are in the forensics department The guys go to see before, maybe they can show something! "There was expectation in the tone. Becky had another accident, but why was Curson expecting it? Here— "Maybe we can find a clue that coincides with the list we have compiled during the day! Ha! Tomorrow morning! This list will be handed over to the director as a result Now! "
The sorted list, well, is a fan group of a band in Button. In the morning of the day, James deceived Coulson to make him think that he could finally solve the problems for the new director, Darcy, and contribute to his own future, to investigate the list.
James didn't want to answer in every sense.
On the one hand, James knows very well that this is not a problem for Darcy, it is a problem for Darcy. James completely disappointed Coulson's trust in his junior partner. On the one hand, James also knows better, oh! This list will definitely be on! Because James and his real, ‘potential’ list has become a comparison of Toledo.
"It's too cold to go." The response is a must. James gave a reason why it couldn't be rotten anymore.
"What are you talking about ?!" Coulson's voice over the receiver changed tone.
"You heard." James was prepared to rely so much on the end, "I don't want to go out." There is still a good reason, "Who notified you? No one died, the case can't reach us. Let the notice Your people can help us keep a complete on-site investigation record. Anyway, your "friendship" isn't it. I don't want to go to trouble. "
The receiver was quiet for a while. Coulson seemed to be persuaded, a bit strange, "Well, you are probably right. Okay." The phone was hung up directly.
James was stunned for a moment. He really didn't prepare to persuade Coulson so easily. But there was nothing to be entangled with. James's goal was achieved and he dropped the phone. Holding the naked-lu-out shoulders, rubbing this to disperse the chill, turned back to prepare to return to the bedroom to continue the nightmare of the ghost animal.
in the dark.
"You have a list?"
It sounded like a voice coming out of the abyss.
James was stiff all over, and his head was completely stiff when he turned halfway, because the person who made the noise had touched his spine.
It was a cold, hot, spiky sensation, moving all the way from the neck to the tail vertebra ...
"You're strong ~" Inexplicable comment, "Police, smells good,"
James already knew who the "person" was behind him.
Let's put it this way, James Lance, who came to Barton from the west, knew this voice. Maybe when he used to know this voice, he never thought that this guy is special, but after coming to Barton ... this It was Eli Torredo.
"Did you know ~" Eli Torredo's finger left James and began to circle. In the dark, there was only a pale side face that brushed James's eyes under the makeup of dark ink, "I heard a lot about you ~ In the west, the banquet rally that excludes me from outside, often discuss your The core of the eastern exhibition plan ~ in Barton, huh, huh ~ in Barton ... "The meaning is omitted.
James felt his body was pushed.
"Your sand is as hard as stone. Let's go to your bedroom. Please tell me that it is more comfortable ~"
Do you need James to answer? At the end of the speech, Eli Toledo was already on James's bed. In front of James's shoulders, he rubbed the dark red blood on the boots on the bed sheet .
Why is James seeing so clearly? Because Eli had time to turn on the light.
Eli, really ugly. Maybe his real looks are not bad, but he is really ugly. It has nothing to do with aesthetics. It is impossible for a person to think that a person looks good under that strong contrast-pale face and dark eye circles and lips. Wrong, there is another color, which is probably a dark red that has not been wiped clean and dried up on the side of the face.
"Not bad ~" Eli adjusted to the most comfortable posture on James's bed and returned to his topic, "You said you have a list ~"
James is still holding his shoulders, fragile, irrespective of gender, irrespective of character, inevitable feeling in this situation. James's face was not even gloomy, he just thought, hoping this was a nightmare.
"You look ... nervous?" Eli asked in a questioning tone. "Why? I won't hurt you again ~" Suddenly, it's frivolous in tone-play.
James didn't respond, but the small twitching eyeballs seemed to have a tendency to look somewhere.
This little action can escape from Eli's observation, it is funny.
Eli raised an eyebrow, raised it, and the black "claws" began to fish under him. Under the mattress. As if surprised, the eyebrows were raised again, and a backpack was pulled out.
"Huh ~" Eli glanced at James and was already zipping. "Let's see what is good here ~"
Need to repeat what Sam once spread out on James' bed? no need. it is good.
"Wow ~" Eli looked at the props scattered on the bed. "It's really ... hehe, well prepared ~" Pick up something like a grenade, "Do you know you should use these things ~" This is not Really ask questions, but only, uh, imagine a picture where a bear hunted by a hunter appears in the hunter ’s house and plays with the beast clip as a toy. "
Inevitably, James did not respond.
Eli frowned and dropped the grenade in his hand. "What is this, it makes me uncomfortable to just look at it." Wooden, engraved with beads of Inan Mantra.
Flintstones! James has used his fastest degree!
But it is a pity that when the wooden bead in his hand is about to enter, Eli is pressed onto the bed.
In this very, very embarrassing posture, James made his final attempt, let go, opened his mouth, and gave everything to gravity.
But closely following the entrance of the wooden bead, there is Eli ’s black ‘claws’.
A string of disgusting sounds accompanied James' struggle in bed. Eli's fingers came out with sticky wooden beads. Without any expression, he wiped the dirty sticky on James's chest. "So, is this something for eating, oh, this is an accident."
Standing in front of him, Eli tilted his head and still fixed James under him, "Are you going to tell me what this thing is? My instinct tells me that I don't want to test it myself."
James finally said the first sentence, howling, "Let me go !!"
"Quiet." Eli was indifferent. "Do you know what time it is ..." It seemed to be amused by himself, bent around the corner of the black mouth and looked around, "Oh, forget ~ you don't have a neighbor ~ Then, howl Let's continue to observe the wooden beads in his hand.
After struggling for a while, James gave up. The feeling of exhaustion has clearly told him that this is not a nightmare, so I gave up. Lying on his bed like a corpse.
Eli felt the state of the person under him, temporarily removed the concerned wooden beads, and looked at James who had treated himself as a corpse. "Why do you put such an expression? I told you, I do n’t Will hurt you. "There is no extra tone, so, in contrast to the previous, unexpected sincerity ...
James glanced at Eli and said nothing.
"Okay." Eli didn't seem to mean to lift this awkward posture, "Say something practical ~" The frivolous tone came back, he should be enjoying this state, "You just mentioned on the phone List, I do n’t really care much, I know that Lesenbra has my fan information, I just do n’t like the use of my fans by the magic feast, hehe, they are mine ~ "may be really uncomfortable The bead dropped, flew out of the bedroom, and the ghost knew where it had fallen. "About the fire of Becky that your partner cares about? Ha ha, I can also tell this-no one, really died, at least not now ~"
There was some emotion on James' face, and the twitching corners of his eyes were what he thought of-Eli's eating habits, no one would really die now, and some of the food would become 'higher-order' food for the newborn Rido provides training for binge eating. Therefore, no one really died, which is not good news.
But it didn't matter whether James wanted to discuss the case where he refused his partner's attendance, Eli continued—
"I'm here, I'm here to find you ~" Eli bent over and leaned uncomfortably on James' face. "Come to Patton, I'm not idle ~ I may have difficulty moving, hehe, I can only Activities at night, but, huh, I have a lot of people ~ "Uh, is this revealing the present Button, full of his descendants!
"So ~ I learned a few things, from human news, from interracial discussions, from ... hehe, various aspects ~" Eli approached James' face, a smiley face, like a clown that had not been washed out. Photographs, film, anti-color, uncomfortable smile, "One name is always mentioned with another name ~"
Guess what name.
"Where there is Zachary Toledo's name, there is your name ~" Eli started rubbing James's cheeks to twitch, preventing the expression of James' expression. "Some of Barton's interracial people will also It does not shy away from saying 'I don't understand why a powerful vampire is wasting time on a human detective' ~ "
Not only prevented the expression of James, but also shaped the expression of James, forcibly used the dark black claws to pull the corner of James ’s mouth, "I feel the same ~ You seem to be, well, a little better. ~ Does Zacary Torredo like this? Legend has it that his werewolf, Alpha Benjamin, is also of your type ~ "
Uh, what stuff? ?
Not caring about this time, but Eli ’s next sentence!
"I think he is not like this."
What is your impression? ! What is this guy talking about? ! Should he have any impressions of our Zach? !
James' eyebrows were about to be raised, and Eli held them. The fact now is probably that this Eli will not let James produce any expression on his own, he has to control everything. Forced James' eyebrows back into place.
"Don't worry about something that doesn't make sense, he no longer exists." Still because of the contrast, there is no tone and it looks sincere. "Let's look forward together."
Who wants to look forward with him!
But James seemed to have no possibility in all senses.
"This is my plan ~" Regained that frivolous tone, "I don't care if the devil approves, but I'm going to do such a thing in Button ~" smiled, "I'm going to continue Zachary Torre Everything I do in Barton ~ "
Looking at James, it was very close, "First, with you, solve the case? Anyway ~ Then, I want to imitate him, and all the interracial of Barton, what is it, well, coexistence agreement? Is it called this name? I ’m not sure, I have n’t seriously talked to Barton ’s interracial groups yet, huh, 'discussion', but that's about it. "
James wanted to be surprised, any emotion he wanted to put on was interrupted. What is this guy talking about! !
never mind.
"Of course, imitating him, or, you can think of it as a tribute. Just like when he first came to Patton, aliens who didn't want to complete a deal with me, just clean it up ~ he may have an Alpha Benjamin to help, I have me Descendants ~ So, it should be easy ~ "
Need to wait for James' response? Do not.
"So, my human detective partner ~" It was so settled, somehow, "Who should I start with?"
