"Don't keep me waiting for so long. Apex 23S. The fastest update." Louise's somewhat complaining tone came from the receiver, and the person holding the receiver was Ozkozier.
Oz frowned, "It's me, Zach is, um, downstairs, in the store. Do you want me to call him?"
"Oh! Please."
"Okay. Wait a moment." Oz put down the receiver, curled his lips for some reason, and went out.
Is there no one here? No.
A clattering sound followed by something stiff and humanoid came to the phone. Zager tilted his body until he was leaning next to the phone.
"Hi! Louise!"
"Uh... hi? Zach? What's wrong with your voice?"
"I'm not Zach, I'm Zagel."
"Oh. Zagel." There was silence on the other side of the receiver for a while, "Uh... do I know you, Zagel?"
"Well, this, haha, you know some complicated issues, but you don't know me~"
"Okay." Feel the tone in the receiver.
"We were supposed to meet once, but a little accident happened and we didn't."
"Okay... Well, is Zach here? I..."
"Do you remember that time, you were supposed to come to Cozier for shopping, and then you were attacked by the remnants of the Saints' Fight Club, oh, the alien gangeros, and then, your 'death' was foretold by the black witch. You didn't come, come It’s Zach~remember~”
"Okay... Okay... I think I should hang up and tell Zach he can call..."
"Haha, I know why you are wary ~ Because this is the process of you becoming Toledo, right ~ Haha, and we all know that the process of you becoming Toledo is not, well, pleasant ~ there are many twists and turns Here~"
Louise on the receiver was silent, and then, coldly, "Who are you."
"Zager. Another Zach."
Inexplicably, the coldness disappeared, "Oh, it's you. I..." The voice in the receiver changed from coldness to curiosity, "When I heard Oz talking about you, I thought you... Well, why Say, it’s not alive.” It means that the thing that is talking to you now is not alive, so how can you talk!
"Well, Oz is right. You should look at me and you'll know that I'm not alive~ We're not alive~ Hehe, we're just being preserved." Probably to add, "Am I? A little special, a way to preserve my thoughts. I don't want those skins, hearts, blood and bones. I can, haha, be completely still, 'not alive'. I can have a little, ha, freedom." The last thing is a joke, "People don't always say What~Thoughts never die~"
"Okay." Louise probably didn't realize it. She had already said 'okay' many times, "Will you stay with Zach? I hope he won't be too bored there."
"Ha! You are such a good girlfriend~" This comment came suddenly.
Louise's tone became weird, "Uh, is Zach up?"
There was no answer at all, "Are you beautiful?" It was a sudden question.
"What?" Surprised.
"I asked you if you are beautiful, what is the color of your hair? What color are your eyes? Is your nose bridge high? Is your figure good? Your..." After a series of questions that would make any woman instinctively wary, "I As I just said, it’s a pity that we didn’t see each other.”
"Uh..." Louise on the other side of the receiver was probably trying to think of a real answer, so she said, "You can ask Zach."
"Really?" Zager actually said this, "You gave me permission to ask Zach about your appearance?"
After the person on the receiver was quiet for a while, he said, "You, Zagel, do you want to, uh, have something to express? Can you say it directly?" He was a little impatient.
"Ha, what a keen woman, Louise. You're not bad." Zager actually smiled, "Okay, that's all I'll say. Zach is in the basement, looking at him, another one of his parts. He's bored. , he wanted me to really come to life.”
"Okay." Louise probably pursed her lips, "What's your problem? Don't you want to live?"
"No, I don't want to." Zagel was honest, "But I can't seem to convince him, so I'm considering another entry point of 'persuasion'. Louise, have you noticed? My other Entry point?”
"No, I didn't..." There was no sound. When the voice came out again, "Me!" Surprised, "I am your entry point!"
"Haha, I knew you were good~ Yes, you." If he could, Zager would definitely change his posture, but obviously he couldn't change. He still fell diagonally on the edge of the phone, forming a straight line with the table and the ground. Triangle, "It should be very easy to understand. Obviously Zach and I have the same hobby in women. What he likes is what I like~ Louise, although we haven't met yet, but believe me, I will fall in love with you." , and you will fall in love with me. I am Zach, Zach is me."
"You..." Louise in the receiver seemed to be speechless.
"But, obviously we can't let this kind of tangled thing happen, right, Louise?"
"..." Still speechless.
"So, what are you going to do? Help me, and help yourself, so that Zach doesn't continue to try to 'resurrect' me. Or, one day in the future..."
Not finished yet. Because it's not needed.
"Zager." Zach came in, put down the clothes box in his hand, picked up the crooked model, turned back and glanced at Oz, "Can't you find a more convenient body for him?"
Oz, who came in at the same time, had a troubled face, "Do you think another version of yourself is capable of wandering around on the street?"
Zach curled his lips, and because he didn't know how to answer, he simply didn't respond. He waved his hand, straightened Zagar, and picked up the receiver, "Louise, are you looking for me?"
"Uh..." Louise seemed to be recovering well.
Zach glanced at Zagel and then at Oz who was walking out, "Have you chatted with Zagel?"
"Uh... um."
"Haha, his words of "he is me and I am him" are very annoying, aren't they~" Zach said with a smile, without giving Louise time to respond, "Ignore him, you make a phone call What's wrong with Grande?"
Since he was pretending to be dead, contact should be avoided if possible. Then since Louise called, something must have happened.
Zach heard the sound of shaking his head on the other side of the receiver, the friction of hair on the hand of the receiver, and then Louise's calm voice, "Mr. Green is here, looking for you. Of course, we told him the same thing as the police. You disappeared, and after a walk with Mr. Allen, you never came back.”
"Very good." Zach raised his eyebrows, "Did he say something?"
"The nursing home was acquired and is now an industry under the Quinn Group. Mr. Green said he had no news at all. Today a group of workers came, forcibly removed the recruitment and replaced it with the Quinn logo. When he called to inquire He was told he had been removed from the public health system and became a Quinn Group facility."
Zach thought about it for a while, "Sounds like a good thing. In the future, it would be better for Quinn, who is half-Indian, to take over the affairs of the Raging Waves family than it is for the Barton family to deal with it, not to mention Mrs. Quinn and this guy Pochi. Even if the Nutao family wants to hold two of its heirs accountable for dying in Barton, they still have to take care of Papa Midnight."
"I know. But you can't say this to Mr. Green." Louise seemed to sigh, "He wanted to ask Grande to help investigate what happened. His nursing home became someone else's without saying a word. . He wants to know if he is still the director of the nursing home and whether the Quinn family will interfere with the future inheritance of the nursing home. "
Hey, poor Mr. Green, still thinking about these things, Phillip... forget it, Zach shook his head, "Leave him alone, is there anything else?"
"Director Cologne has also been here." Louise continued, "He seemed to think that Grande was hiding something, and he even brought Wes with him, trying to get something out of me. He even asked ..." Louise hesitated a little, "The question is whether you are dead or not."
Zach smiled, "Hahaha, that's good. It means Grande's 'atmosphere' is just right. My death can never be shown on the human level." Because Zach is a vampire, after a vampire dies, A pile of ashes, a corpse after the death of a human being, "In terms of aliens, haha, at least according to the situation confirmed by Eli Torrido in Barton, I am already dead."
It's a bit hard to describe, but the meaning lies in the atmosphere of Grande, which is well stuck between the 'dead and not dead' of Grande's master. There is an explanation for human society, and there is also an explanation for what the aliens saw and heard. That is, Zach was really killed by a human. After his death, he was so humiliated because of his identity as a vampire that he couldn't even have a funeral.
"I know, Director Cologne doesn't need to say anything, but Wes, Wes really... Well, I really want to know the facts. I'm hesitant to tell him."
Zach thought for a while, "Don't tell me. Now that you know the facts, you have to ask to modify your memory like Nuo, so as not to affect my plan. Forget it, don't bother."
"Okay, well, speaking of Nuo..." Louise's tone was a little helpless, "He kept calling, saying how sorry he was, and that he hoped it was him who died, not you... Uh, did you give him When it comes to false memories, it's a little too, uh, aggressive, and he really, really blames himself."
"It will pass." Zach pursed his lips, as if he was not too proud of what he did to Nuo, "But that's the purpose, isn't it, to show my influence over everyone in Barton. And he also has a third explanation. Put 'Colt' on 'self-blame'. This stage is necessary. Now that we have said this, is there any movement from the wizard? Is there any reaction from Sibella? Happy?" smiled, "Mourn for me. ?”
"It's a bit strange, there is no movement at all, but John called and chatted with Alice for a long time."
Zach seemed to be in a good mood, "Didn't you listen?"
"Listen, it's just some cliche stuff like Alice remembering that she still has a real brother. Alice got through the whole process with a 'grace'." Louise seemed to have remembered something, "In the end, John said they would find someone in Patton's third 'Colt' is missing, which reassures Alice."
Zach shrugged, "Let them find it."
"One more thing. Yesterday, Danny said that he seemed to see Sloane. He glanced at the gray light in Danny's body (the stream of light that alerted the entire Grande) from a distance, and then left."
"grey?"
"Well, our new employees, except for Logan of course, are all feeling 'sad' about their boss's inexplicable 'missing', um, 'sadness'. And the continuous arrival of the police makes them nervous."
"Has Director Cologne been sending people to Grande?"
"Well, because Mr. Allen has also disappeared, and Grande is the last place he appeared, so." She seemed to feel a little tired. After all, Louise was dealing with all this. "The investigation of the two cases is very complicated." In our Grande.”
"Uh, okay. It's hard for those new employees. How about Danny? You didn't cause any trouble because of such a mess."
"Fortunately, Logan seems to be able to control the new employees very well, but..." Louise hesitated again, "Bain is a bit worrying to me. Danny said that the ** he unleashed is a bit, um, complicated."
"Just stare." Zach thought for a while, "Sloan, just took a look and left?"
"Well, I don't know what I saw from Danny."
"Let someone go and have a look at his house. I think I still have his address in the drawer. I think he will want to recycle the 'Colt' after knowing what happened in Button. He can know the truth. Let me know the truth. Contact him and ask him to come to me. I also have something to ask him."
"Okay, who is it? Sam has completely hidden in the dark, together with the Novelles." In a strangely satisfied tone, "No one informed him, so he automatically followed your actions and advanced his treatment." Arrangement. I can’t contact him.”
"Haha, very good." Zach was also very satisfied, "Let Benjamin... No, Benjamin is better to stabilize Mokawei. Let, um, Charlie go."
"Okay." It was quiet for a while, "It's okay."
"Okay." Zach was about to hang up.
"Wait a minute!" Louise's voice inexplicably rose a few degrees, "Uh... is the other you, Zagel, still around?"
Zach raised his eyebrows and glanced at the model standing next to him, "Here he is." He smiled, "He has already introduced himself."
"He, uh, makes me uncomfortable, can you..."
Was interrupted, "No, he is another me, you will like him." Zach probably didn't realize it at all...
"Uh...me."
Suddenly there was no sound.
"Louise?"
"It's nothing. I just want to say that he really looks like you. I'm done." I'm really done.
How could Louise describe the situation she might encounter? ! Can you say it out loud?
Zach looked at the receiver, which had only the hang-up tone, and blinked. Even the smartest guys can be stupid sometimes. Zach shrugged, put down the phone, picked up Zager, and picked up the clothes box he had put down before, "Let us change your clothes." He smiled, "I chose it myself, you will like it~ "Can you tell that this is a pun~
What can I say, Zach is really, really bored here. (..)
