Records of Barton’s Fantastical Events

Zac hung up the phone and walked to the reception room of the Grand House. On the side of the brown leather sofa, there is a wooden triangle newspaper rack. Every morning, the oldest old Hank who woke up would walk on the dirt road in front of the Grand House, head towards Highway 27, and retrieve it from the mailbox under the sign of Grande. Newspaper. However, in the past two months, there was an extra magazine called “Urban Legends-Barton Weekly” every Monday (Chapter 31 of Volume I).

Zach’s usual habit of not at all reading newspapers is usually when Old Hank talks interesting things to Benjamin after reading it. If Benjamin’s attention is drawn, he will discuss it with Zach.

Zach took out todays newspaper, thought about it, and this weeks “Urban Legend”, too lazy to go back to the office and sit on the sofa to read it.

The report in the newspaper is very’plain’. The author has the objectiveness of a journalist, and there is no personal judgment on the’suicide technique’ in the text.

“The deceased used sharp utensils, knives, glass, tableware, etc., to pierce his left chest and died on the spot. As for the motive of suicide, as of the deadline, the reporter has not received a reply from the police.”

Then the report listed a list of recent suicides. There are eight people in total. The last name is attached with a photo taken yesterday. The environment of the picture is obviously the kitchen of a middle-class family, wearing casual clothes. The policemen in uniforms tried to block the reporter’s camera, but in the crowd, they could still see the gaps, fell on the side of the counter, and fell to the dead in the dry blood.

Zach squinted and found James’ profile face among the police officers. The homicide group will appear there, which means that the Barton Police Department no longer considers this to be a’suicide’ case.

The vampire stared at the photo for a while, and the photo taken in a hurry did not fail to give him other clues. Zach put down the newspaper and picked up the magazine. Look at the cover and look for it in the catalog.

“Life Reaper at Midnight! suicide? Or to pay for it with life? Take you to the little-known Barton Midnight Exchange! “

Zac raised his eyebrows, so that the unclear title caught his attention…

Zuck flipped through the page number and read it with interest.

The author woven a place called’Midnight Market’, where people can buy luck with their lives. Every suicide has made a transaction in this place, but refuses to pay for the life used as currency. As a result, person demanding repayment forcibly seized the due’fee’, creating such a weird way of suicide.

There are also a lot of interviews and quotes in the article, about the narratives of the deceaseds family, winning the lottery, getting a promotion, completing a large business, etc., to prove the authenticity of the’luck’ transaction.

Finally, the author came to a very ridiculous conclusion,’Never buy goods that you cannot afford! ‘

Zac closed the magazine, touched his chin, and picked up the list of suicides in the newspaper. After thinking about it, he stared at one of the names,’Chris’, he has Impression, because he saw it in Maddisons work report.

First, I returned to the office and called Maddison of the Mill to confirm that Chris was still stored there. Zach opened the door of the kitchen again, facing Benjamin who was still kneading dough, and asked: “Benjamin, something happened, do you come with me?”

“No.” Benjamin will be under his command. The dough is flattened, stretched, twisted… “Busy.”

“Benjamin.” Alice ran to Benjamin and pressed the dough: “Go! You don’t need your help here!” “Banshee needs his friends to concentrate on preparing food, otherwise they won’t be able to finish it before school is over at [Parker Elementary School]!

“Oh.” Benjamin stepped back from the desk, glanced at Zac who was full of expectation, took off his apron in Lola’s disappointed eyes, and walked towards Zach.

After a while, the efficiency of the Grand Kitchen really improved. After all, Benjamin could not do anything but knead the noodles, but Lola was much easier to use.

Benjamin’s truck drove away from the Grand House and headed for the mill. Zach briefly recounted the case, and the topic changed.

“Ben.” Zach said with a hint of deliberate grievance: “You have left me too cold recently.”

“Ben, Jie, Ming.” The werewolf heard every time. When the abbreviation is abbreviated, you cant help but get goose bumps, “You asked for it.”

“Okay.” Zach accepted the grievances and said seriously, “I know you are unhappy. But, Those hunters must be removed. According to my method, or the method of the Barton Police Department. We all know that the only reason they stay in Barton is to deal with you.”

“I don’t need your help.” Benjamin Holding the steering wheel, it seems to be an annoying thing to talk to Zach. The right hand fiddled on the radio and the volume was adjusted to maximum.

Zac frowned. He really couldn’t agree with Benjamin’s musical aesthetics, so he turned the volume back.

“You are Alpha, of course you don’t need it. But Grande needs it. I can’t risk letting those hunters track down to the Grande House.”

“humph.” Benjamin coldly snorted: “So it’s my fault? I brought danger to the Grand House, do you mean that?”

Zach lowered his head and realized that he had said something wrong: “You know, I didn’t mean that.”

“Sorry, I sounded that way.” Benjamin expressionless shook his head slightly.

“Tell me, Benjamin.” Zach looked at Benjamin’s profile with a serious expression. The vampire now sincerely hopes to know why Benjamin’s indifference continues for half a month. “What did I do to make What do you think is wrong? Apart from dealing with a few hunters, I always think we have the same view of hunters. At the Grand House, we dont kill them, but to take care of Hank. , Why do you care?”

Benjamin twitched his lips, what Zach said was right. Benjamin knew that his sympathy was overflowing, but he did not feel sympathy for the enemy who only wanted to kill him. . Alphas anger at being attacked is not less than that of a vampire…

“Because you decided to do it yourself.” Benjamin glanced at Zach: “You decided to do this secretly behind my back.”

Zac raised his brows and pressed down at the end of his brows. It turned out to be like this. Benjamin was angry that he didn’t feel involved. Zach nodded helplessly, and laughed somewhat self-deprecatingly: “And I failed. In the end, you still’save’ everyone.”

“Yes.” Benjamin smiled. Meaning, if the werewolves weren’t for the critical moment, the bloodline of’Torrido’ would have disappeared.

“But you forced me to become a real threat to Grande.” The smile on Benjamin’s face disappeared and he glanced at Zach.

Zac sighed, the werewolf’s transformation was to save him, one day earlier. Benjamin was right. In the space surrounded by three cars, the Alpha Wolf that was planing the ground and turning up the dust with its breath, was a threat to all breathing lives at that moment.

“That won’t happen again.” Zach patted Benjamin’s sturdy arm.

After a moment of silence, Zach wanted to relax the atmosphere, “Well, where did you go? Do you remember? That day?”

Benjamins head didnt move. , The brown eyes turned to Zac, just one glance. Zach sat down honestly and stopped talking.
