Silver Blade and Rose

"What do you mean?" Edwin looked at him blankly, "Do you suspect that I am covering him?"

"Oh, of course not, don't get me wrong." Viscount Onsarst said, "It's just that the kid said that the other person looked human, and I showed him a photo of Grant Mulder, and he said it was this person—— Perhaps even you were deceived by him?"

He seemed to have picked Edwin out of it, but everyone present knew that Edwin had declared that he would be responsible for Grant's incident, and he couldn't get away with it anyway.

"I don't like this assumption." Edwin said lightly.

Taking a step back, even if Grant really didn't die, he would resolve the matter himself instead of just believing what he heard from others.He's not such a stupid guy, and it's disrespectful to Grant.

The two sides disagreed, and the meeting ended unhappy. Under his pressure, the Viscount Unsarst changed his words and said that he would look for new clues and evidence, but the other two lords who attended the meeting expressed their trust in him.

"I sincerely look forward to meeting you next time."

Lady Vanessa blew him a kiss and cut off the "door" connection, and then the werewolf Brin also closed the "door". Only Edwin and Sauron and Viscount Unsastre were left in the huge conference hall. confrontation.

The atmosphere between these two is not very good. If there is a quarrel, he might be the one who suffers. Sauron tried his best to smooth things over and said, "If there is nothing else, let's stop here...?"

Edwin nodded slightly and stood up.The Viscount Onsarst seemed unwilling to end it, and said with a cold snort, "President, don't favor one side."

Zoro laughed awkwardly, and was about to say something to defend himself, but Edwin turned to look at him, and he consciously fell silent.

"If you don't believe in the exorcist, don't ask them to be notarized in the first place." Edwin has seen this kind of trick too much, bully old guys always like to do it, he doesn't buy it, "If you don't believe I will find out the truth about the Grant incident, then you can cry and go to someone to complain now, I believe someone will be willing to use this to trouble me."

He didn't give Viscount Onsarst a chance to explain, he waved his hand and closed the "door", then picked up the coat he had draped over the back of the chair, and walked towards the stairs.

It was finally over, Sauron secretly heaved a sigh of relief in his heart, and hurriedly followed his footsteps.

"Thank you." He said to Edwin sincerely.

Even he, an outsider who was involved in the notarization, understood that even if Grant really committed the crime, Edwin would not need to be responsible for the deaths of several low-level people at all. The reason why Onsarst dared to pester Go on and on, there must be someone with a higher status behind him to support him.As for Vanessa and Brin, who were dragged into the water as victims together, both of them looked like they were watching the show, and they didn't put any pressure on Edwin. It was Unsastre who asked for a meeting to resolve the incident from the beginning to the end. , The two of them just showed up on time to make a show.

As the president of York City's Exorcist Association, it's not that he hasn't dealt with similar incidents over the years. However, Edwin has a special status and is in charge of the "gate" of York City. He still hopes that the other party can stay in Locke. 179 Hill Street, rather than get bogged down by this sort of thing, leave the "door" to others less capable.

What happened to Grant is a lesson from the past. Fortunately, it did not have any major impact on ordinary people in York City. However, if the "door" is opened again, the consequences may not be so simple.

The two worlds blend too often, with unpredictable consequences.

"You'd better not get too close to Unsastre," Edwin did not respond to his words, but only reminded, "He is not as simple as he seems."

Zoro froze for a moment, thinking about what he meant, they happened to walk up the last flight of stairs at this moment, and met Sanchez who was waiting there.

"Why haven't you returned yet?" Edwin asked him.

"It's too late, I can't let you go home with the chairman's car." Sanchez greeted Sauron, and then smiled indifferently, "I will take you here, I will always be responsible for sending you back , lest Zars and the others worry."

Knowing that he had good intentions, Edwin didn't say much, nodded to Sauron, and left with him.

Sauron watched their backs walk out of the gate of the association, thinking slowly: Who is Zals?

The newcomer from 179?

The dinner on No. 179 was a simple instant curry rice with freshly squeezed juice, all of which Zals brought back from the supermarket in the afternoon.It took a lot of effort for Hannah to prepare these. She couldn't even cut carrots well. In the end, Zales took over the kitchen knife and handled all the ingredients for her, including diced fruit for juicing.

After dinner, Zals took Kerr out for a walk, brought some boxes of ice cream from the convenience store when he came back, and knocked on Hannah's door first.

"What's the matter?" Hannah asked through the door.

Zales said, "I invite you to eat ice cream."

Hannah opened the door suspiciously and took a look, seeing that he really had a bag of ice cream in his hand, she asked in confusion, "Why?"

"It's nothing, just drop by." Zars handed her a vanilla flavored one, "Preparing dinner has been hard work."

"I didn't do anything either..."

That being said, Hannah accepted the ice cream and closed the door again.Zals smiled, and was about to go upstairs to deliver a box to Munn, but he heard Hannah say thank you through the door.

It wasn't loud, but he was sure he heard right.

Mun had done the cleaning during the day, and was already lying on the bed at this time, and asked Zals to put it in the refrigerator for him to eat tomorrow.Zals put the bag of ice cream in the refrigerator as promised, thought about it, and took a box for himself.

He didn't plan to eat it at first, after all, the calories of ice cream run counter to the habit of exercising, but Edwin doesn't seem to be coming back for a while, he always needs something to pass the time.

At most eat before exercising.Zals thought very spinelessly.

He went upstairs with a box of ice cream, turned on the computer and ate while studying today's lesson—since he was able to surf the Internet, it would be better to use the information on the internal network to memorize with the illustrated book.

Because this account has permissions, Zals can read most of the information. Except for Fu Sangshen, which Edwin searched for him yesterday, he also read a lot of entries about other monsters, which he found quite interesting.The website is the internal website of the Exorcist Association, so there is naturally account information verification. He clicks on the personal page and sees that the verification name is Grant Mulder, and there is also a resume of this person's activities as an exorcist.

Although Zals knew that this was not good, he still couldn't hold back his curiosity and clicked to take a look.

Grant successfully passed the exam to become an exorcist 6 years ago. He has been active around York City and is affiliated with the York City Exorcist Association.He has no family, and he became an exorcist because of his teacher's introduction. Most importantly, Grant was a policeman before becoming an exorcist.

...why did he suddenly become an exorcist?

Judging from his resume, in the five years of his activities as an exorcist, Grant has always received excellent evaluations, and has been awarded the strongest certification of the year several times.It was more than a year ago that he came to 5 Rockhill Street. Because Edwin asked the association for an assistant, he voluntarily left the association and joined here.

Looking at it this way, he only stayed in No. 179 for about a year before passing away.

Edwin said that it would be good if Grant was as scared as he was. Zales didn't really understand, but the other party promised to tell him Grant's story when he came back tonight, and Zales was still looking forward to it.

Turning off Grant's top-notch resume, Zarles dug a scoop of ice cream into his mouth, and suddenly felt that his career prospects were quite stressful.

Edwin's former assistant was really excellent, and he had been professionally trained and was an exorcist. In comparison, he really looked like a rookie who had no suitable candidates and was reluctantly hired.He had always received good evaluations in school since he was a child, and he also graduated from the top three. However, in front of Grant's resume, he still felt a little inferior.

But in any case, since everyone in No. 179 has decided to let him stay, he is also willing to try this job, of course, he still has to do his best.Thinking about things while eating, the box of ice cream ran out before I knew it, and Zars had already eaten it when he realized it.

"..." Why did you finish eating?

He looked at the empty box, got up helplessly and threw it away, thinking that it had been a long time since he had eaten ice cream, and he really had to exercise to eat a box at a time.

After simply rinsing his mouth, Zales changed into light sportswear and went downstairs to exercise in the yard.

Although the furnishings in the room are pitiful, there are only three large pieces of bed, wardrobe and table, but maybe Grant needed to exercise before. There are actually simple fitness equipment in the backyard of No. 179, such as push-pull trainers and dumbbells. There is a horizontal bar, all of which have obvious signs of use, but now a thin layer of dust has accumulated, presumably because no one uses it.Zales didn't do much exercise except jogging recently, so he reflected on himself, adjusted the equipment after warming up, and decided to try the flat press first.

He was bent over to adjust, but suddenly something arched his back behind him—Cerberus ran over from the front yard at some point, looking like he wanted to accompany him.

Zals patted its head, thinking of the photo on the computer desktop for no reason.

Dogs are such affectionate animals, they should miss Grant very much.he thinks.

Judging from the photos, the job of walking the dog used to go to Grant, as he does now.Could there be such a reason why Cerberus was so enthusiastic about him?

As if seeing that he was a little lost, Cerberus arched his palm with his forehead, whimpered twice, and leaned towards him.

Zals was unprepared, and sat on the ground when he was hit by it, and couldn't help laughing.

"What are you doing?" He hugged Cerberus' neck and rubbed it, and said with a smile, "Do you know that I'm not happy? That's why you came to comfort me."

Cerberus, of course, couldn't answer him, and leaned against him, tilting his head, without making a sound.

Dogs can indeed feel human emotions, as does the one in Zars’ family. When their family members are sad, they will take the initiative to approach them without making noise. It's very human.

Zals held its head, and suddenly thought: "There is everything here, can you understand me too?"

Cerberus looked at him quietly, Zars also knew that he was talking stupid, shook his head, got up and sat on the trainer to start exercising.

"Just stay here with me for a while, Ke Er."

he said to Cerberus.

The big dog lay on the lawn and looked at him, quietly and without moving.
