Ozkozier, the attic of the penthouse apartment can be regarded as an attic addition, but it is a bit different from the ordinary attic addition. This place is as strict as a prison. Of course, it is not Barton's prison. Vertex 23S. Fastest update
Zach has been feeling unwell since coming in
"How much silver did you put into these walls?"
"A few tons." Oz tilted his lips, his emotions seemed a bit complicated, "I'm very rich."
"Okay." Zach hugged Zager, a little hard. Pointing to four things that were similar to the space capsules on TV, "Which one should we look at first?" Heart, blood, bone, and skin.
Oz waved his hand, "Let's start with something a little 'lighter', the heart..."
"No, Pi," Zagar said.
Oz frowned and glanced at Zagel, "Heart." That was it.
The first 'space warehouse' was opened.
Thick white mist gushes out, but surprisingly there is no temperature, and I don’t know what it is. Zach waved his hand to disperse the white mist, "I'm a little excited~" Who knows if it's true, "What kind of heart have you prepared for 'me'..." He automatically silenced himself and looked at the exposed piece of flesh. , was quiet for a while, "What is this."
Oz didn't say anything. He put on his gloves, but that wasn't enough. He took something like a fireplace tong from the corner of the room and started teasing the piece of meat.
Let me describe it. It is not meat of good quality. It is wrinkled and cracked. The surface is like bark, but it is soft and trembling slowly. I don’t know what is driving it. It's a lump of meat half as tall as a man. Just looking at it will make you lose your appetite for a week.
The tongs held in Oz's hand pushed aside a layer of overlapping flesh pads. A face appears...
Zach turned around directly and turned Zagar over, "Oz, what is that?" Because it was so disgusting, so disgusting that even Zach, who had lived on blood for four centuries, didn't want to take another look.
Maybe the description just now is not specific enough. Sorry, I can't be specific. Just listen to Oz's explanation and everyone will understand.
"Didn't I tell you, the heart is from an artificial human." Oz seemed unaffected and continued to poke at the piece of meat, probably turning it over.
"There's a baby's face there." Zach didn't look back, but this didn't affect Zach's expression of emotion. He frowned, "It's still a stretched and wrinkled baby's face without a skull."
"Of course, you don't think that Lesembra prepared a second-hand heart for his paranoid collection." Oz was still fiddling with it, "This is a newborn artificial human baby that was thrown into the blood of a vampire at birth. Suppress the soul, and then remove the useless things, leaving only the heart and the vascular system that maintains the operation of the heart... Look." Oz tapped Zach's shoulder, "I found it, take a look."
Zack didn't look back, expecting to see something bad.
"It's a 'zipper.'" Zagel didn't need to look back, because this was his heart. He knew it, so he came to explain to Zach, "Starting from the belly button, you can open the whole piece of meat, and then you can pull it out. The whole vascular system, including the heart, is full of capillaries. It actually looks pretty good when spread out, like the veins of a leaf withered, all in one piece."
Zach turned his head and glanced at Zagel, "Have you seen it?" Think about it, even vampires have little chance to see what a person looks like with nothing but blood vessels.
"Of course, this thing is very troublesome to maintain. You don't want it to grow any strange branches. Just like, well, a potted plant, it needs to be pruned regularly." Zagel explained responsibly.
Zach heard a dull clatter and needed to stop it quickly, "Stop it, Oz, I don't have to look."
The sound stopped, and Oz's tone sounded a little disappointed, "Don't you want to see it? I've been looking for it for a long time."
"No, thank you. Call me traditional. I prefer things like blood vessels to be buried under the skin. My teeth can just touch them. I don't need to see them with my own eyes. Thank you."
Zach still had his back to Oz. Oz, he twitched his lips, glanced at Zagel, and shook his head, "Then, next."
It's time to state the fact that Oz, like Zagar, doesn't want Zagar to 'live'. But on how to stop Zach from doing this, Oz and Zagel have different ideas. Just think of it as a game, just like Zagel guessed correctly that Zach will pretend to be dead, and ask for death with his own 'win' , everything is actually a game. After all, Zagger is Oz's toy, isn't he? That's the way to play. Zach just didn't notice.
After confirming that he heard the sound of the first door being closed, Zach turned around again. As usual, he turned Zagar over, and while sorting out Zagar's wrinkled clothes, he said, "What do you mean by this?" ?Oz." Looking at Oz walking towards the second hatch, "You should listen to Zagar and start with 'Skin'." Because Zach didn't think the order Oz chose would be a good one.
The first one was so disgusting, who knows what will happen next. Zach's only hope is that his face won't make him sick. Skin, no matter how bad it is, it's not too bad, just look in the mirror. Whether Zack is naive or not, we’ll see later.
"Really." Oz looked at the second door and glanced at Zach, "At least this artificial heart is not a human being. He has never lived and was cultivated as a heart when he was born, just like Utensils are meant to be used since they are born. I don’t know much or little about you, but at least I can understand that you care about the existence of individuals. Now you are the angel Crowley, the Mirror Man, right. I think It's easier for you to accept this." When the door opened, he asked, "Am I wrong?"
White mist poured out from the crack in the open door again. Zach was ready to turn around at any time and pursed his lips, "You are right. So, what is this."
The door is open, but the white fog has not dissipated.
"Bone," Oz answered.
After the things in the white mist became clear, Zach frowned again. Even though he knew what it was, he still asked, "What is this?"
"You don't know it?" Oz raised his eyebrows and knocked on the... that made a dull buzz in the white mist. "Iron Maiden." Oz did not act without authorization this time, "Do you want me to open it?"
Zach didn't speak, and looked at the tall metal 'can' and pursed his lips.
It was Zagel who really explained, "The bones of ghouls are always growing, unless they eat to maintain their body's, um, flesh. But, uh, we don't need ghoul's meat, right? We just We need that skeleton, and we don't want it to look weird." (Harrison once explained that in order to maintain the human form, he had to eat human corpses.)
Oz opened the lock and continued, "So you need this. Lesembra spent a lot of money to customize it. It is no longer just to provide pain, but to fix it. You can use it as a magic tool." It's quite convenient. Oz has already opened a small window, "Put food in here, anything, even potatoes. Don't worry about the things inside growing into something weird, just..." Opened another window, "Regularly It's very troublesome to clean this up, as troublesome as the heart." He began to use the poker in his hand to scrape the sticky stick attached to the spikes on the window door...
"Next, please," Zach spoke.
"Don't read it again?" Oz shook the dirt on the poker, pulled the corner of his mouth, and shook his head, "It's up to you." He began to close it slowly.
There are a lot of things to close this time, so we have to wait. Zach looked at the two remaining hatches and said, "Give me a hint." It's always better to be mentally prepared than not.
Zagar said, "I thought Oz told you. The heart is from the android, the bones are from the ghoul, the blood is from the second generation Toledo, and the skin is from the skinchanger. What else do you want?" hint?"
Zach blinked, yes, how else to remind him that this was the 'creation' of Lesembra, the Sabbat who was once hostile and is now hostile, and Zach should be prepared for it.
The atmosphere was awkward for a while.
Oz had finished working on the second door, dropped the poker, dragged off his gloves, and headed for the third door.
I have to say, this action made Zach relax a little. At least it won't be something 'disgusting', right...
There is still white mist, quietly waiting for the white mist to dissipate. Zach sighed and turned around, "I know him, he is the messenger of Toledo."
Zach didn't look at what Oz was doing, and continued to speak, "I heard that he died in battle together after awakening the clan ancestors. It turned out that the Sabbat got him."
The people in the white mist are Zach’s Toledo brothers. As I said before, Zack should be ready to save himself and shouldn't have any expectations.
Behind Oz, there was the sound of metal bending.
Zach's eyes twitched and he didn't turn around, "What's wrong? Is he still alive?"
"Uh, no. Sorry, I touched the pipe. It's nothing serious, I'll adjust it..." The sound of metal bending began to continue.
Everyone should be getting used to this pattern, Zagel said, "He's dead, as you knew him. There's no information about himself in his blood, he's been cleansed by Lesembra." Even though he looks the most normal in preservation, he is the most expensive one. His heart, his bones, his eyes, his brain, and all his organs are made of silver. He still looks like the most expensive one. It's his original appearance, but his blood is still flowing, keeping him like this... "
Oz inserted it, "Sometimes, his organs will grow back." Ding-ding-dong-dong, it was knocked, "So it needs to be drained occasionally. Because of the silver organ, the ones he grew Things are in very strange positions. You might as well not look at them."
Before Zach could say anything, Zagel's tone turned into a smile, "Finally, it's time for us to take a look~" and he didn't know what his mentality was, "I'm a little shy~ You have to look at it from the inside out. I’ve seen it clearly~”
Zach moved. Immediately, he began to search the entire space seriously, "Is there a place to hide here?"
"What?"
"I feel Bruch's aura." Zach was already walking, stepping on the floor and looking at the ceiling. "A certain Sabbat Toledo is here. Hamilton and the others won't be able to stop him for long."
"What?!"
"Hurry up! Hidden place!" Zach urged, "Hamilton and the others didn't stop them at all! They came straight up!" Zach's face began to darken, "So I guess it's Eli Toredo!"
"Uh..." Oz was stunned for a moment, and then rushed towards the fourth hatch, his face twisted, "Here! Here!"
Hatch with Zach 'skin' in the back? There is no time for hesitation.
Zach rushed in just as the white mist poured out of the fourth door. Pushing away the cold thing that touched him in the white, Zach just stood still when the door was pushed open.
"Ugh! I hate this place! Mind reader, how much money have you poured into me here?!" A familiar voice. In the white light, Zach saw a black shadow.
"A few tons, I'm very rich, do you have any objections?" Oz looked back and started to close the fourth door.
"Ha~ No." The footsteps came closer.
The white door that had covered most of Zach's field of vision stopped closing.
"What are you doing? Mind reader, Hamilton looks like I don't want to come to you~"
The door was opened. Oz drove it.
"Look what I'm doing."
When the white mist began to pour out without any cover, Oz walked to one side, holding a poker in one hand and a glove in the other, "Just right, help."
Right in front of Zach, a stranger with black eyes, black lips and black nails raised his eyebrows and seemed a little stunned with the tool poker in his hand.
"Don't be stunned." Oz waved his hand, "Go, there is something inexplicable growing on the bones, go clean it. You know what to do."
After two seconds of silence, he said, "Haha, no." The gloves and tongs were handed back, "I don't have to do this for you now." He actually glanced sideways, "Hi~ Zachary Toledo."
"Hi~ Eli Toredo. By the way, my name is Zagel now."
"Changed the name?" Eli turned his head with a smile, looked at the head of Zach, who was exposed in the white mist, and took action. The back of the finger, which was almost occupied by the ring, leaned towards Zach's face, and the black nails lightly slid across Zach's chin, "Why do you want to change it? Zachary is a good name~" and the meaning was unclear, " Beautiful~ Every time I look at it, I feel so sincerely~ What a beautiful face~”
"Thank you~" Zager thanked, "but I don't think it's good to use the name of a dead person~ so."
"Haha~ That's right." As if he was reluctant to leave, he moved his black nails from Zach's chin and turned around, "You can clean it up later. Now, mind reader, we need to talk." He was already walking towards the door. gone.
Oz glanced at the door that had begun to reveal the second crooked Zach as the white mist receded. He held on to the fourth hatch with no expression, "Did you misunderstand something? You are not qualified to talk to me yet." , Eli Toredo.” began to close.
"Hahaha~ Really?" Eli Toredo, who had already walked out of here, turned back, "Do you think I am still the 'guest' who needs to be respectful and do chores for you in order to understand my enemies? No , Haha, I’m not..."
Sorry, Zach can't hear the rest of the conversation. Who would have thought, this thing's soundproofing effect is incredible.
Zach touched his touched chin, turned his head, and looked at his other self leaning beside him in the darkness.
As he thought, among the four parts, the one with Zach's appearance was the most peaceful one, but it seemed that he couldn't calm down. This skin is the most disgusting part! (..)
