Vol 10 Chapter 4: James

James really came back, and Zac said east, and James, who had to go west, sat in Grande's office.
"Go ahead."-This is Zac's "instruction".
Not so much.
James's eyes looked in the office. "It's so quiet here."
be quiet? Is James deaf, can't you hear the noise over the living area, "Where are the other people going?" James's eyes fell to Zac.
Oh, this one. Zach shrugged. "Matthew resigned and Lola helped him find an apprenticeship job in the West End. Charlie was sent to the feast to fill the vacancy of the feast Toledo. Mo and Jin went to republic, Do n’t ask, you can go back and make up for what happened to Barton when we left. Alice and Maya are just going out everyday, the nursery program at Parker Elementary School.

That's basically it.
James finished listening, "You are alone." It seemed to be summing up.
"I still have Louise." Zac didn't know what James wanted to say, but he didn't care much. As long as James is James, the flies will always fall on the bad eggs.
"Why is Emilia here?" James asked again.
"Because Evan is ill, it is Grand's job to maintain the physical and mental health of former criminals who are reintegrating into society." This answer is not very official, it is this effect. Zac didn't want to explain this thing in detail.
But it was such an official answer that made Zack the bad egg—
None of your employees are physically and mentally healthy.
James looked away and looked at the 'Zackery' on the desk · Grande's famous brand.
This is not bad, anyway, the topic is back to Dell. Zac thought for a while, "I tried my best. You know, I tried my best to answer all the questions about Dale Walker's human-interracial. Even if I also entered the west for the first time, I felt the feast." Zac's voice Calm, because this is the fact, "Entering a new environment, learning the information around me, this state, I and Dell are on the same starting line. So." Zach turned his head, "I will not say how perfect I did, But I tried my best. If this is not enough, I'm sorry. "Zac looked at James." For Dell, for what happened to you. "
James' eyes were briefly out of focus, because, "Yeah ..." He ... an indescribable sad expression on his face, "You tried your best." Yes, James knew Zach was right Yes, he was involved in Zac ’s best efforts all the way-on the way to the west, in Roy Zmithi ’s office.
But for this reaction of James, including the expression on his face, Zac froze for a moment, then frowned, "Please don't cry."-James really looks like he is crying, kind of Suddenly, tears fell out of my eyes.
The inexplicable sadness on James's face disappeared, and Zac glanced away, gloomy, "I didn't want to cry!" Very good, James is still James.
Zac frowned and let go, "Now are you willing to continue what Dell has done for you?"
James took a deep breath. "He said he wanted to come back here, not lying."
"I have no doubts." Zac raised his hand. "He will disappear completely, there is no reason to lie."
James squinted at Zac and looked away. "We are almost reaching the east. Did Oz tell you? They blocked us in the city on the central border. We ..." James Shi's eyes were out of focus again, "all so close."
If, just if, Dell Walker can get a funeral, these regrets and feelings can be presented as the most beautiful speech at the funeral. However, he cannot have a funeral. The military will ensure this, well, with those collateral damages.
Zac was the rational man who gave James the cold facts, "No, you are still far away. How long did you and Wes return? Day and night, the train continued to travel. Ha ha." "Dell can't take the train, he's basically escaping the wanted criminal, so ~" Zach shook his head, "When you and Dell can really come back here." Zach pointed at himself, after all, this is Dell's mouth Isn't the object of 'return' here, "At least a week. What will happen, will happen."
The corners of James' eyes were twitching, and his restored focus was on Zac. "Who made Dale a 'wanted criminal' ?!" Did James blame Zac for this look and tone of voice?
Zac ’s failure to accept this would only insult James ’own accusations,
He himself, the moment when he kidnapped you. And do n’t forget that Dell was not a legal citizen.
Zac used calmness to state the facts,
I believe that in such a long time, you have understood that Dell Walker ’s identity is fake, including his real occupation-contract killer. "Zach finally used a title to remind James to pay attention to his position. , "James Lance, detective."
James knows his position, just-"I don't need you to remind me who I am! But in front of the aliens, Dale and I are human! We! Are one side! This time, I won't let you manipulate me Brain! I will stick to my true position !! "
Uh, too typical. We should have foreseen this scene. The conversation between James and Zac always became like this. One side expounded the truth calmly, and the other exploded in exasperation. Not saved-because it must be admitted that both parties are right.
"Perfect." Zac clapped his hands, based on James standing up in excitement, then Zac had to stand up just to show respect. Stand up, "You stick to your stand, 'Dell is a victim of aliens', is this?" Zac spread his arms to embrace the world, "Now!" Raise the volume, you must do this to prepare for the following words, " Give you the rights with the justice of this world, James Lance, come on, sanction the murderer who makes the victim suffer. "
The office is quiet.
Zac waited a little impatiently, "Come on, handcuff me, punish me, sanction me."
After the heavy air compression sound, James sat back in his chair, not looking at Zac, "Sit down."
"Oh, don't sanction me?" It wasn't Zack who didn't know what it meant to just accept it, but, "Or did I accidentally manipulate your brain? Sorry, it must be my inhuman evil nature ... "Zack began to sway his body at James," Wait, wait ... wait for me ... "and the words in his mouth," Manipulate to retract, manipulate to retract ... "
Curious why Zac loves acting so much--
"Can you stop !!" James stared at Zac who was swaying.
Zac stopped, looked at James blankly for a while, sorted out his crumpled clothes, and sat down. "Are you ready to speak?"
James answered with a twisted face. This is enough.
Zac gave James time to adjust his emotions with a deep breath, and then listened to Wes and Emilia on the other side of the living area. In other words, if anyone is curious about what the two people are doing, it is strongly recommended to skip it, but if you are really curious-
The reason is that when Wes rushed into the treatment site of Emilia, Evan was describing in detail his process of being taken by Bishop. Do n’t ask me why, if Emilia, the doctor, says that it makes patients really understand where their ‘sickness’ is, it ’s a good thing, we can only nod.
Anyway, in the process, Weiss broke into and was offended by certain words of Evan in an instant, saying something that should not be said. The result is that Emilia ’s two days of treatment went to waste. Evan looked at Wes with begging eyes, begging for , seeking perfection, seeking fate, taking away, and going to ...
Is there a feeling of eating flies, no, flies shit. Curious magic.
Zac just knew that Weiss and Emilia could not come over. It happened that James' deep breath adjustment was over.
"In the west, Dell doesn't need a hostage." James's voice was calm. He tried his best. "I'm enough. The phantom you sent has also kept the distance. Everything is fine." (Because I wo n’t be telling the story of the illusionist later, explain the reason why the illusionist keeps his distance. Accepting the commission is the only way for the western soul and alien to keep themselves useful to the society in the west and not be killed by vampires. I talked about it when I commissioned the price list. That ’s it.)
Zac wanted to correct James, but the fact that he was kidnapped is not good, but think about it. There is no benefit in letting James explode continuously.
"After entering the middle, the illusion started to try, !" Swearing, "Save me. I was noticed by Dell. Then the hostage became the necessity for me to stay with him honestly."
Zac really did n’t want to understand the whole journey of Dell ’s kidnapping of James. The ending is already done, is it meaningless,
I know this, Oz told me, you and Dell have a twisted cooperation 'Mode', you don't need to say it yourself again ... "Zac is pretty good, he didn't say Stockholm ...
But was interrupted, "You need to know!" Er, no one can convince anyone, it is also a "tacit understanding" between Zack and James, "Those hostages! Are chosen!"
When he was Dell before, he did say how chaotic the central part was, and in the process of running, he paid great attention to local news and police actions ... Zach raised his eyebrows, and he understood. Zac looked at James, "Those hostages that Dell held in the middle are already humans under the influence of aliens. They may become victims in local news, or they may not be 'innocent' themselves. Hijacked by Dell, Is it a good thing? Are you trying to say this? "
James didn't answer, but his face gave affirmation, "including his younger brother!" Staring at Zac as if it was something that penetrated the soul.
And the truth is this.
Dale's younger brother, apart from living in the Moriarty Manor and carrying the perseverance of his generation, really, has nothing to do with aliens. Until, a "enthusiastic person" sent him a pile of books about the truth of the manor, about vampires.
Zac turned away, "I won't apologize for this." Why? "If Dale Walker does n’t go to his brother, those are just books, old legends and stories. And as the former residence of Toledo, the central aliens know that there have n’t been any vampires there anymore. And be safe. It was Dell Walker who brought the real danger to his brother. "
James's mouth twitched and continued, "I understand Dale Walker. I might disagree with him deep down ..." After all, James is still a detective. "All his methods! But! I understand him! "
Zac shook his head, "Do you know what is more stupid than you were kidnapped, is that you still treat Dell as a victim. Be rational, James, think about it, no one does anything to Dell, he himself Created an abyss, jumped in, and dragged on you. Now he no longer exists, and do you want to go down with him? "Zac's helplessness to James has appeared countless times before , "You can't really see it, is this a lesson? Do you have to verify it yourself?"
James also looked at Zac, "You understand Dell's last words, is he a fish word?"
Zac is about to give up. After all, after saying so much, it has proved that James ’mental health is very healthy, is n’t he? At least I have explained to Weiss, "I don't understand, and I don't want to understand. If you understand, then I can only say, I'm sorry." Um, sorry, yes, the word is not wrong.
"I do understand, and I don't think it's a pity!" James stared at Zac. "The complete look of this analogy is fish and fisherman!" James's gaze followed Zac's silent turn away, When he was forced to listen to what he disdained,
When the fisherman dragged the fish out of the water and forced the fish to breathe the air on the land, the fish realized that their despair was not accidentally swimming in the water. In the fishing net! It's the fish's life, all living in the water !! "
Zac frowned and looked at James. "Meaning?" This is the kind of words that you need to come to a conclusion once you have heard it. After all, this kind of analogy appears. You don't have a value, you just explain the facts Is not it.
But James seems to have valued it somewhere in this passage. Therefore, he did not satisfy Zac's question, "Do you know how Oz forced Dell to start executing hostages."
Never mind. This is what Zac wants to know about the details of the James rescue operation, "I don't know, please tell me. I still have a report to submit (to Darcy, to the Demon Feast)."
"He arranged a fish that was already dying in the terrestrial air in the hostages!" James stared at Zac distortedly. "Mind-hearted man! Built Dell's abyss!"
Zac frowned, "Oz, plotting Dell's psychology?"
"Dell, forced into desperation!" James is bound to say it all at once. "A man who was forced into a dying man by aliens-fishermen-fish, died in Dell's hands! Like a switch, suddenly In the meantime, Dell realized that we are all fish, and he began to care less about everything, killing! We are all waiting for the net that rises from the bottom-the fish that is desperate! Everything is meaningless! Because we live in In despair! Finally, a moment of hope appeared, at that moment! "James raised his hands and snapped his fingers," Dell's brother, a human who has been addicted to vampires, a person who has adapted to the world! Also appeared in the hostages That moment !!! "Papa, as if something broke.
"Smart." Zach gave a comment.
