Khalil, despite defeating numerous evil spirits, always presented himself as a "police officer" rather than a "Taoist" or a "sorcerer" when interacting with people. It was his duty.
Zachary, however, possessed a natural inclination for the "extraordinary." Even though he hadn't fully grasped the concept of causality, fate seemed to dance through his tender heart, leaving remarkable impressions like shooting stars streaking across the sky.
In his youth, Zachary entertained a multitude of fantasies. He once declared, "I came to the human world for adventure." This audacious statement claimed the spotlight during the Spring Festival team's reunion dinner, earning him a special award that proudly adorned the wall of the Special Investigation Team.
During that time, whenever someone laid eyes on him, the inevitable question followed, "Did you embark on an adventure today?"
Regrettably, Zachary's playful father relished in his child's words, attributing profoun
Dulce Hooper immersed himself in painting, dividing the paper diagonally with a stark contrast of colors. One side depicted a boundless sky, drenched in vivid hues of blue, with lush green grass swaying gently in the breeze, evoking a sense of refreshing tranquility. The other half remained untouched, an empty canvas.As he contemplated, Zachary stroked his chin. "I had thought you excelled more in portraiture."Curious, Dulce Hooper inquired, "What made you think so?"Zachary surveyed the art adorning the room's walls. "These are predominantly portraits, and some bear a striking resemblance in style. I didn't anticipate your skill in capturing landscapes as well. Your artistic talent truly knows no bounds. It's truly impressive."Dulce Hooper dismissed the praise modestly, shutting the door and returning to his easel. A mischievous smile graced his lips as he asked, "So, what do you think, Mr. Prospective Heartthrob?"Chuckling at the playful bant
He used to taunt Wright for pursuing Patrick, but now the seasoned veteran had transformed into a bewildered old man, utterly inexperienced when it came to matters of the heart. Love truly remained a mysterious force.The more he contemplated, the more resolute he became. He refused to become the very coward he despised the most.With determination etched on his face, he held his breath and, as Quilly tapped his shoulder to indicate their departure, he firmly clasped her wrist, averting his gaze from her mildly surprised expression. He spoke the harshest words he had ever uttered in his entire life."Assist me for a moment. I'm feeling a tinge of heartbreak."Quilly struggled to grasp the convoluted and contrived plot of the film. She had presumed Zachary would share her sentiments, but now she harbored doubts.Hesitatingly, she inquired, "Is it due to the storyline?"Zachary shook his head sorrowfully and confessed, "No, it's because I wast
Zachary meets Quilly's cold gaze: "..."His head full of purpose and intrigue, "snapped," and he stood up slowly, peeking over Dulce Hooper's book.Not much care for him... just that Quilly would not allow a scheming, fake student in his class that he did not yet know about.He looked a few more complicated, what a big heart.He asked kindly, "I heard from Zander that you've been recuperating at home for a while, are you feeling better?"The class does not hold a position, and Quilly does not have much contact, and he has not seen him go to the problem between classes, only to the extent of meeting and greeting."And it can be called a seat change, just separating you from Dulce Hooper, right, you bullying people?""Heaven forbid, I'm on good terms with my little tablemate." Zachary winked at Dulce Hooper and casually ruffled his hair, "It's just that someone was afraid I'd charm you beyond belief, and beauty is a sin."So Zach
A student had the audacity to pick up for Zachary: "Then you'd better have some, teacher."He initially thought that the "transfer student" was originally seated here.He picked and chose, only unwrapped a piece of mung bean cake, and handed the representative a bottle of milk.He argued, "You are so busy, how can I take up your precious time with my stupid brain?""It's nothing, just some superficial injuries, my dad is the one making a big deal out of it." Isla Brock didn't really want to talk about it and scattered the snacks he scavenged from the commissary on Zachary's table, instantly flooding Zachary's already empty desk, "Zander and I bought these, a little thank you gift, you're welcome."Quilly happened to come in through the back door with his books, and Zachary took a turn in his words, "-Yeah, I love learning; learning loves me."Dulce Hooper blocked the table next to him with a complicated look, "Zachary... you changed seats."<
"I'll go in then." Zachary's heart skipped a beat. He had wanted to use the name of the calligraphy club representative, but instead, he had blindly stumbled upon an obstacle and exploited his little tablemate.Until he saw a familiar group name, he paused, thought for a moment, and finally placed a checkmark in the "chemistry lab group." Then he pinned it back to her notebook without changing his expression.When Zachary hollowed out and took the win with a toss, he turned around at the sound of a steep shout, and the man stared at him without blinking, suddenly smiling and raising his hand with a cold Coke.Zachary followed Quilly's lead and watched her sit down, and he followed suit.Zachary smiled and pressed the "answer" button, putting the phone to his ear. "Your order for a punch has arrived."But he was a little surprised. "Has the president already arrived? I thought I was faster than her.""Wait, the teaching reference is on the first floor..." She could finally respond, str
The watchdog couldn't even react in time before Zachary delivered a sharp knee to his stomach, causing him to fall to the ground, baring his teeth in pain.The large top floor is the Gale Watts Memorial Hall, which is usually locked and only available to guests or alumni on big days like school celebrations.Zachary was already familiar with the path at Gale Watts. Isla Brock had just come out of theZachary put his phone away without moving and greeted the classmate next to him. Then, in the name of going to the bathroom, he sneaked out of the auditorium and carefully closed the door.Zachary opened his mouth and improvised, "I'm from the club. The president sent me to take inventory of the event props.""You're not sitting here," Quilly reminded him.He helplessly met the exact same cold face as he remembered: "Such a coincidence again?"The front court resounded with the sound of boys and girls cheering, while he occupied the best
Zander hid in the corner and did not dare to make a sound. He looked at the classroom full of "lying corpses" who could not even howl out, his eyes dull.He casually picked up a broken plastic board, a plastic bench that these little bastards had violently destroyed when they scared Zander, and he slapped Human Oracle's face with it, "Got a cigarette?""No special circumstances have to participate, many students get it done in their senior year, but you are a transfer student, not yet a transfer senior, the rules are such that there is no way."Zachary slowly typed out a question mark, "When did I sign up for the chemistry lab group?"A loud announcement suddenly filled the entire campus, and a radio speaker on the third floor of the lab building was right next to the art club, outputting right at Zachary's ear. Zachary frowned, rubbed his ear, and glared at the broken speaker....... just isn't a good phrase.Zachary sent Zander a copy of the cute video of Gale Watts' famous jerks wa
Isla Brock's thank-you message popped up at this point, spilling out all over the place, writing like a big exam essay, and Zachary flipped through two pages and finally saw a useful sentence at the end.And there seems to be a loudspeaker outside the art club window, yelling from the inside and outside.Quilly gently removes it and sits back down, looking at him good-naturedly, "What's the problem?"No one answered, and he went back to the canvas and dabbed his paint.He turns back, the momentum remains strong, and then... expressionlessly pushes back the application form.Zachary: “..."Then he saw the word "Quilly" next to the chemistry lab group."And just now the meeting, you slipped away early, I'm afraid I did not hear," Quilly seems to laugh a little, turning up old accounts, "the principal deliberately left a few class managers asked about the club practice, I happened to bring the form, so I gave him a look over, inclu
Zachary blinked, quickly accepting the setup, and as Celine Kirk spotted him, the little dainty girl sat on Keenan's arm and weakly made her way into the Antique Row exhibit. Antique line this piece of treasure, and occasionally fights, the whole street is ancient and low-key luxury, looking at the broken doors and windows made of rotten wood, may be the Quinton dug out of the sycamore perch, Zachary last time to bring Xavier Burch, rookie Mr. stepped on the boss lazy didn't sweep the ash, are a shock afraid of which is a thousand years of the ashes of the royal relatives. His wrist was still in Zachary's hand, and he begged for forgiveness with a downward-facing posture that turned a hundred and eighty degrees, "I'm wrong - the people next to me are looking at oh, that girl has an indignant expression of being split up from her cp, as if she's going to pounce on me and eat me." "Eh, just kidding." Callum Luna grinned and begged for mercy - he'd just struck out of nowhere, and while
"... How much do you hate your leader?" The tomb keeper shook his head in an old-fashioned manner, "This amount of money is no more expensive than a life."Zachary hooked the man who was about to leave, "We're not done talking, look at this, have you seen it when you were in the antique business?"Joselyn Robles looked at them both from side to side and her smile didn't go down, "Zach there's no need to rush, since so many threads are intertwined it's most likely a secret under one karmic copy, the poison looks creepy but other than the ability to catalyze the very sight of it no other harm has been found so far, it's more of a 'link' than a poison '."Suspicious, the tomb keeper counted through the bills and was pleasantly surprised; he drew out the charm concealed in them, and the moment he saw the human-faced phoenix, his expression changed.The tomb keeper admired and put away the red ticket, "You're really something, OK, I'll keep it for you."
Though he also felt that the old lady was making a bit of a fuss about it, and that 8 was so burnt out right now, how could he have time to interfere with them, and that Zachary would be even less able to do that when he was splitting up eight people to use them, and tossing them out of the way."The two cases are not unrelated, one could even say they are related, what Callum Luna said is true, it was 'Roderick Luna' who financed the curator of the painting exhibition, and that's not the only thing, the antique auction house a while back, the floating cloud carving that was intercepted by Vice Ramirez The silver needle, finally found in the diary sent by Ms Ara, was the very one that Dulce Hooper used to make all the blood pacts for the Gale Watts sacrifice."Callum Luna demonstrates the attitude of the Luna family, "-He who dares to desecrate God is not worthy of death."Celine Kirk, who had long since leaned against the car, shook out her skirt, "Let's just s
"Unsolved case." Zachary didn't have much of an expression, "I've been investigating this, his death took up all my energy, it's not exactly a secret within the Way, sorry, just didn't want to get you involved."Celine Kirk grunted coldly, "Cut the crap, Sea Ring aside, since Gale Watts has a lead on Roderick Luna, the Luna's are in charge, and it's been two nights since the Gale Watts monstrous statue posed as a deity, so don't tell me that your team hasn't come up with anything."But now that Zachary just said it, he instead thought there was a hidden agenda, or else Zachary wouldn't have softened his attitude until he was sure that the spell poison was completely insurmountable.Zachary frowned when he heard a cold yet pleasant inquiry lazily coming from behind him, "Who are you?"Keenan stood aloof, looking at Lone High with a nose, and nodded along, "Zach's got a good point."After the Gale Watts case, Zachary has considered slowly pushing the
The more Zachary thought about it, the more likely it was, and volunteered to confess his thoughts, "Are you after me?"Keenan came back from cleaning up, fleshed out and surprised, thinking he'd finally gotten the hang of it, "How so?""Because I dumped you with a whimper, and you tried to dump me back, and I cried bitter tears, so we're both barely even." Zachary blinks at him, and with a twitch of his brain, suddenly says, "How about right now."Keenan's face faded down, heart really, he leaned toward the back of the chair, his eyes some thin dangerous: "Now what, I chase you, you promise, then I dumped you, two minutes to get it done, you and I grudges two eliminated, never see each other again, is this what it means?""Of course not, then wouldn't our previous relationship be child's play?"Zachary shook his head, "No matter what I've done to break your heart, there hasn't been a single moment for the four years we've been together that I have
Zachary typed in the password as Keenan read it, and suddenly lurched, finally realizing that the inexplicably familiar string of numbers was his birthday, "You're still on your old phone?"Zachary looked closely, the paintings in the show were all human figures, familiar with the large color stacks and twisted lines of the netherworld painting style he had read about so many times in the art room of the lab building, "Oooh, this could be a genre, the underground overdrive style?"But Dulce Hooper's soul has gone. How can a body without a soul move fraudulently?Naturally, Callum Luna's ramblings alone don't count, Zachary: "How can they be sure it's Roderick Luna?"His head was groggy from the low fever, and he had residual pain all over his body, and he didn't want to move at all, but he might have overslept a bit, and he didn't want to go back to sleep, so he started swiping at his phone.Zachary guessed that they did not dare to easily give up
When he got up again, there was a hazy, pale light, and Zachary braced himself, and it was like he'd been run over by a car, and after the shock had passed through him, and the soreness danced in every bone, and stabbed a little bit at his joints, and his arm collapsed, and he fell back down again."It was him." Keenan phrased, "Six months after you evaporated, he was arrested for illegal proselytizing, and when I was sorting through my materials, I found a notebook I'd borrowed from him, with a piece of paper sandwiched between it with a messy yardage drawn on it, which I thought at first was draft paper, but realized it wasn't any formulas or mind maps, and when I looked at it closely there was some regularity to it, very much like some kind of writing, and which I've since turned over to the police up."He was all but as brooding as he had been when he arrived, but that oily, don't-touch-anyone-against-me asshole look was a turn-off.Then the stomach growled.
Keenan smoothed his suit, didn't care if the steps were dirty, and sat down next to Zachary, choking on the strong smell of cigarette smoke, but Zachary's silence, which was even cloudier than the smoke, choked him even more, like a little burnt edge, a little hot, a little painful.Zachary automatically ignored Keenan's increasingly out of bounds mannerisms of late, his cold mind forming a set of logic he could best accept; he just had to act like he was in a dream.Johnathon Ramirez needless to say, although it is difficult to see the position, but it is also after he topped the Special Investigation Brigade was not disbanded, and he is in charge of the Special Investigation Brigade for so many years of the old boss, even if the crowd often behind the back of the arrangement, but also still recognize his ability, recognize the identity of the 8 of the Unified Control.Luna's family in the open that point, everyone has spread rotten, now the most hopeful heir i
"Ah-!!!" The young constable, seeing this for the first time, fell to the ground in fear, his high pitched scream cutting through the night sky of the city hall and drawing in the others.Zachary, however, couldn't care less about the chaos of the bureau, and he clutched the yellow talisman, a treasure hunt he knew all too well, the glazed box that once held the nine parts of Khalil Hobbs's body, hidden away on a rainy night in the mountains of Ushant, and poured out into the madness that is him impermanence and insanity.It had taken him years to slowly climb out of the overgrown mud - at least superficially - and stop worrying those around him, but those behind him were afraid that he would be too good to be true, grabbing the hem of him orange-red dress and tugging it down to help him remember what it was like to be parted from him bitterness and hatred. .How much does he have to be hated, who did he blow up in him last life, or
