Chapter 127: Chapter 28 Smart and stupid
Translator: Doggotranslation
“Toreador!” The barefoot wrapped by the gray bandage stepped on the ground, causing fire sparks to burst in the violent tremor of space, “Do you want to start a war? !”
“You?” A smile suddenly appeared on Zach’s cold face, and he walked provocatively towards Crowlie, pressing a finger directly on Crowlie’s face.
Before the vampire’s fingertips touched her, her face was blurred, like emotional Ryan! The edges of her body began to tremble!
Woosh.
As if there were invisible wings flapping in the air, Crowlie’s body was like a dragonfly in a whirlwind, leaving the place and quickly retreating! The bandages wrapped around her body were scattered in the air, and as if being manipulated by someone, they were all aimed at the vampire who was trying to approach!
“War?” Zach did not continue to approach, his finger was stopped in the air, “In this world, do you think you are qualified to mention this word without a body? Or do the people in the hell want to repeat the “masterpiece” from twenty years ago?”
In Crowlie’s cold eyes, Zach seemed to remember something, “Oh, that would be the best. Maybe having another war with humans would bring back the attention of those people from above again, then they can do us a favor and close the door again.”
“Toreador-” Before she was even able to finish her word in anger, she was interrupted again.
“Grande.” The vampire’s finger swayed in the air, “Zachary Grande.”
Crowlie’s eyes were narrowed, and the deep in the blue light, the dark was surging. After a short silence, Crowlie seemed to give in, “I can stand, after all, like you said, I don’t have a body. And the things of this world have no meaning to me.”
The vampire curled his lips and turned to look at James, “Detective Rance, this is how you judge the level of the soul-like nonhumans. For example, Ryan is still bound by the attachment to the body. He is at the bottom level.” Zach jokingly pressed his palm to the ground.
“Then, a little higher.” Zach stopped at his knee level, “They are no longer bound and can move freely, but they cannot have any impact on this world. Although they are free, they also lost themselves. For example, Wandering Souls and Shadow Beings.”
Zach lifted his hand to his own thigh, “Then, Detective Rance, we have discussed this level before.” Zach mouthed silently to James.
James really couldn’t understand the purpose of Zach’s actions now, but in the vampire’s hypocritical and disappointed eyes, he repeated the word “Tulpa” that Zach wanted him to say.
“Very good.” Zach smiled, “The people at this level have maintained their will and don’t have to rely on the inferior means of possession to influence the world. It’s just that, as we have discussed, their ability to control their own power is not complete, which also led me to speculate in the wrong direction.”
Zach moved his hand to his waist and looked at Crowlie, “Then it is the one that is currently in front of us.”
“This is the most ridiculous rank division I’ve ever heard.” Crowlie stared at Zach.
“Shush!” Zach was very dissatisfied with being interrupted. He glanced at Crowlie indifferently, and continued to move his hand to the abdomen. “Next, let’s move to another category. You have encountered one. They are inherently different creatures. Such as…” Zach continued to move his lips but without making a sound.
“Jim.” James didn’t know what else he could do except repeat what Zach wanted him to say.
“Very well, you can also count Alice in. This is a gift, an innate ability. Well, then we can move up again.” Zach’s hand had been placed on his chest, “You still have interactions with them before, and I should remind you that this is another category.”
Zach’s lips didn’t move this time. Apparently, this time he wanted him to answer by himself.
Another category? What else? Body, soul? What else?
In the silence, the sky slowly darkened, and it seemed that the sun had already touched the horizon, the dusk was about to end, and the night was coming.
James’ face completely darkened. He looked at Zach’s expressionless face and understood what this other category meant, “Gale couple.”
Zach’s face moved, as if he selectively ignored the time that took James to answer it, “Very good, you can also count Revenge in it. Oh yes, the Revenge before becoming a Dead Apostle. Hunter this profession also requires talent.”
Zach moved his hand to his neck, with a trace of ridicule on his face, “Then Benjamin and I are on this level. And then next.” The vampire put his hand on his forehead, “At this level, James, it is no longer nonhuman, but the master of this world.” Zach waved his hand, “I don’t want to admit it, so I won’t say it.”
James’s face was gloomy. Although he had guessed what the last category was, he didn’t know what Zach wanted to express. Would the sheep that would starve to death without grass really think that the owner of the grassland is grass?
“I take back what I said before.” Crowlie’s face turned to one side, and there was a smile at the corner of her mouth, “I am beginning to understand what you mean by ‘educate’. I have to admit that this division is very accurate.”
Can you see how this division came about? It was divided according to the ability to influence the world!
Among the countless ethnic groups wandering in this world, only humans! Only humans have made the most changes to this world! You may be able to see countless nonhumans appearing in various periods of history, but compared with the humans, nonhumans appeared to be as small as sandstones.
These sandstones that occasionally stirred up waves were often buried, such as ‘Toreador’; such as Crowlie who fell from heaven, such as Jim who buried the name ‘Shougong’, such as Gale lived in Barton in seclusion, or Alice hiding in Grande.
Of course, we didn’t have to think too much about Zach listed himself above Shaman. This little vanity was easily understandable.
“Very well, if you can understand it, it will save a lot of trouble.” Zach finally showed a sincere smile to Crowlie.
Crowlie looked at Zach’s face, “Can I treat this as an invitation?”
“Didn’t expect you to be this smart.” Zach showed a hint of surprise, “But it’s not an invitation, it’s only a test. Whether we can face each other peacefully depends on your performance.”
“My performance?” Crowlie’s fingers slid over her long blond hair, her mouth curled up, “Was my performance bad? I sent back those two people without disturbing you at all. Up to now, only a few small incidents have occurred in this city.”
Crowlie looked at Zach, “If my ‘friends’ had come to this city, it wouldn’t have been like this at all.”
Zach glanced at Anthony and then stopped talking.
Anthony did not stand up, just like how he usually talked, adjusted his neckline with one hand, “Miss Crowlie? I will just call you Crowlie.” Anthony’s eyes drifted to one side. When the mayor talked to people who were not of his level, he would always be like this, “Since the gate of hell has been opened, we will not waste our energy to expel you.”
Crowlie turned her gaze to the sitting mayor. Behind those blue eyes, no one knew what she was thinking.
“As for your performance.” Anthony turned his head to look at James, “Detective, how many cases of theft, how many cases of assaults, have occurred in this week?”
James was taken aback for a moment. Why did this group of people always want him to answer the question? !
James reported a few figures.
Anthony thought for a while, not knowing whether he was acting or really thinking, “You call this a good impression? Crowlie?”
Crowlie frowned. Regarding Zach, because of the restraint that the vampire’s body had on souls, she could endure it. But for a human being, she really didn’t need to. The importance of human beings came from their numbers, not a single person!
“Perhaps I put it another way.” Anthony frowned. He who had never looked at the other party’s face finally looked at the demon with a stunning appearance, “How many souls did you get from these incidents?”
“This is not…”
Anthony waved his hand, “Zach, expel this stupid demon.”
Zach raised his eyebrows. “Okay, Mayor.” The vampire’s sharp fingertip pressed on his forearm, the slightly sunken skin bounced back, and the fingertip had penetrated into the skin. The next moment, the vampire would make a bleeding wound on his arm.
Panic appeared on Crowlie’s face, she turned around abruptly and rushed to the choir behind her.
In the low beast snarl, a dark brown figure swept across in the dim light; the alpha Benjamin had appeared in front of the choir, and also put the sharp beast claws on the fluffy arm.
Although only using the half-wolf state brought by the Alpha skin, and the blood of the curse of Camarilla’s vampires inherited wasn’t much, there was no problem in protecting the humans behind him.
“Wait!” Crowlie could actually break through to the left or right, but once she escaped, it meant that these two nonhumans in the ‘forehead’ rank would always have their eyes on her! Before she found a suitable ‘container’, she was completely restrained, and she could not use any power at all!
“How was I stupid!” Crowlie turned to look at the impatient Anthony again.
The vampire maintained a self-harming posture, but Anthony frowned, “If it was not stupid, when what was it? You didn’t get a single soul, but you gave me a reason to be hostile to you. And fortunately, there are two of my citizens who can expel you.”
“If you send me back to hell, another demon will replace me, and this repetition will not end!” Crowlie stared at Barton Mayor coldly.
“Does it matter? We can wait until a demon who understands our rules comes out. It’s just a matter of time.” Anthony waved his hand, and Zach’s fingers began to move down, leaving a bright red wound on his pale-skinned arm.
“What are your rules! I can listen!”
“Just listen?” Anthony shook his head and urged Zach, “Hurry up! I have another dinner invitation that I need to attend.”
“As the mayor wishes.” Zach smiled and slid his finger to the end, black and red flew towards Crowlie in the sudden dimmed light!
“Alice, Ryan, Jim, Daniel!” Four names suddenly shouted from Crowlie’s mouth!
The airflow lost the push of the vampire’s body, and suddenly formed a cyclone, rushing forward along the vampire’s outstretched arm, penetrating the demon without a physical body, and curling up Alpha’s fur.
“What did you say?” The vampire asked coldly.
