The atmosphere in the office became strange. Vertex 23S. Fastest update
Louise held the receiver and glanced at Nuo who was sitting opposite. Nuo didn't seem to remember who the person on the other end of the phone was. Derek, the name was just a bit familiar. Nuo was trying to recall where he had heard it before.
"Well..." Louise was in a very awkward position. For a moment, she didn't know how to answer the greetings in the receiver. "I, I didn't expect that the central government would report the news here..." Louise was evading, somewhat Something, she didn't want to answer. Especially when No is here.
Nuo raised his eyebrows. In the middle, he remembered. Derek, the true descendant of old Grande! The human identities taken away by two aliens, Zach and Benjamin! Once he remembered it, Nuo immediately frowned and looked at Louise. There was not much friendly kindness in his eyes, but he asked, 'How do you want to answer, Louise?'
"I'm glad this was reported here..." Derek on the other side of the receiver realized that it was a bad thing to say, "No! Sorry! I didn't mean it! I just thanked... No! Uh, it's not right no matter what! I, I..." An unexpected emotional turn, no longer to 'Louise, are you okay? 'The concern, is the negative emotion, "Why didn't you notify me?? Such a bad thing happened in Grande, why didn't you notify me?? I, I actually came from after such a long time. I know it from the news! No! This isn’t news anymore! It’s just old news! My brother is missing! He’s probably dead! I’m the last one to know!”
As Derek's voice on the other side of the receiver became louder and louder, even though Louise had put the receiver as close to her ear as possible, the quality of the Grande phone was really average. Nuo heard it. He frowned in a different mood, still looking at Louise, still saying 'how do you want to answer, Louise'.
"Derek, you should calm down first." Louise frowned, vagueness seemed to be the only option now, "No one said Zach was dead."
The person on the other side of the receiver is breathing deeply. And Nuo, looking at Louise, to be specific, looking at Louise's eyes, said something like this in a low voice, whether to himself or to Louise, I don't know, "If the phone can transmit the picture, then this Things are much simpler, right?"
Are you now aware of Louise's obscure awkward position? The question of whether Zach is dead or alive is brought up to vampire Louise by an unexpected human being. How to answer? 'The speculation in the news is correct', 'No, it's all fake, Grande acted'.
Both answers, whether true or false, will have consequences, bad consequences. And Louise, the vampire holding the receiver, has no ability to repair the bad consequences of this answer. Oh, because the phone is a technology that transmits sound, and the enchanting pupil cannot yet travel through space.
And why did Nuo ask Louise's answer in such a mocking manner
Because after today, Nuo will say goodbye to the alien race and everything about the alien race, right? He has already scheduled that 'summary'. From now on, as a self-aware human being, he will no longer let himself be involved in the incidents of the alien race. In, right? Then, this is the situation he will encounter in the future. As a human, when he has questions about the events involving the aliens, how will the aliens answer him. truth? It's still a lie, or it has nothing to do with it at all. It's just aliens influencing and controlling human life.
"I..." The person on the other side of the receiver took a deep breath and still had no calm emotion. It seemed to be a notification, "I have booked a ticket to Massachusetts tonight! I want to go to Barton! I, I want to go to Massachusetts." Grande! Me, maybe I can do something! Anything!! I need to do something! Zach is my brother! I..."
Louise frowned, "Derek, you really don't need to..."
"I need it! Louise! You may not understand but this is what I need to do! I have 'missed' my father! Knowing that I still have two brothers is my biggest love for this 'Grande' where I was born, My origin! My only remaining connection to this 'father'! I'm not ready to lose a brother!! I'm not asking for your permission, Louise! I need to do something! I'm coming Grande!”
Louise pursed her lips, speechless.
Nuo crossed his arms and turned his eyes away, as if he was lost in thought.
A long, uncomfortable silence continued.
Finally, there was a voice on the other side of the receiver again, "I... I'm sorry, I just overreacted for a moment. I, I should start leaving. The car will leave in an hour. I should be there tomorrow afternoon. Well... you don't need to pick me up." , I remember the Grand Road. Goodbye, Louise."
"Goodbye." Louise closed her eyes and slowly put down the phone.
"I didn't hear what he said later." Nuo spoke.
"He said he was coming to Grande tomorrow." Louise didn't know the point of hiding it, so she was honest.
"Then when he comes, how are you going to explain to him?"
"I don't know." Louise continued to be honest, her eyes began to drift helplessly, "None of us thought that Derek would know about this." Louise shook her head, not maliciously, "He, he is completely They are irrelevant people, hey."
"Irrelevant people." Nuo repeated.
Louise was shocked, "I mean..."
"I know what you mean." Nuo raised his hand to interrupt, "Human beings who have nothing to do with the incident, human beings who should not be there, unlike me, were involved in it from the beginning." Nuo stood up, and after a brief hesitation , “I don’t want to forget everything today.”
"No." Louise was helpless.
"Don't get me wrong, I just want to do you Grande a favor at the end. You will need me to remember these fake memories, right? You have to explain to this Derek what happened to Zach." He stopped looking at Louis completely. Silly walked out of the office, "You will need me as the person closest to the 'culprit'..." Still the false fact, the 'Colt' that killed Zach, the weapon, should not have appeared after joining the 'Community Correction' The project should provide a stable and peaceful environment for Grande, who is a group of ex-convicts, to re-adapt to society. The weapons were brought to Grande by Novo. "Help you explain." He paused briefly at the door of the office before leaving. "This is my original intention of accepting this piece of shit, to help Grande complete the 'play', isn't it? Let me finish it."
Louise was again speechless. She knew that when this was done, it would probably be really 'done'.
Do you still remember that although Nuo seemed to easily accept that his gray-professional friend Zach was not a human being, but recalling carefully, Nuo accepted it passively. Zach saved him in the form of a vampire, and he had to accept it. ,no choice. No, at the same time, was not happy that his servant Myona and the wizard Sibera were close (No had expressed dissatisfaction with Myona's participation in Sibera's reading group), and he was not completely pleased with his friend. General' is a person who becomes a vampire (this has been described in detail before. When you meet a friend, that friend becomes a vampire from the moment you meet him, which is essentially different from the human friend you originally knew who became a vampire).
Therefore, it is not surprising that things will develop like this. I hope everyone can understand what I'm saying.
"Can I have a room of my own? There are a lot of rooms in Grande now. Can I have one?" Nuo had completely gone out, and his voice returned to the office, "I sent Myuna back to my hometown. I don't want to stay here." At home, I don’t remember my own alarm code and I don’t feel safe at home.”
"Of course." What else could Louise do? She quickly left the office and took Nuo to the new living area.
This whole 'dramatic twist' is over, but don't relax, what happened tonight is not over yet.
Just as Louise watched helplessly as Nuo actually chose a dormitory to live with Logan and Evan's gang of ex-criminals, a new unexpected visitor appeared in Grande.
Cliff the inheritor.
He is here after all! Calling the police is definitely a stupid expectation. Beating James can be regarded as a pure emotional vent. The result is that Cliff has made no progress in returning his missing wife! So, despite how much he resisted coming to Grande for help, he still came.
What greeted him was not the helpless Xiang Nuo who repeatedly confirmed, 'Do you really want to sleep here? We still have a lot of empty rooms.' Louise, it's Mo.
Mo, who was surprised and complained to the Great Dane when he first met the inheritor, "You didn't even tell me that the Federation has such magical things!" Remember, Mo once tried to classify the inheritors and define a category for the inheritors among the elves and ghosts of the Republic. The conclusion then was that spirit, something born from nothingness.
Cliff was straightforward. When he saw Mo Piao coming over, he made a stinky face and said, "No! I'm not in the mood!!"
"What?! I haven't said anything yet~" Mo unconsciously said.
"You don't have to say anything! You guys from the Republic are all weird guys!! I'm not interested in discussing those useless things with you right now!" Looking around the Grand backyard, he was looking for Louise.
"You guys?" Mo Yi raised his eyebrows, then rolled his eyes, "What other republican guy did you meet? Who? Don't tell me about that Maitreya who was wandering around delivering knots in Barton."
Maitreya's name definitely caused some emotional fluctuations in Cliff, but Cliff was not prepared to get entangled with Mo. He ignored it and walked towards the lighted living area. Louise had already appeared at the door, somewhat unexpectedly. , "Cliff? Why are you here?"
No nonsense, "Linda is missing! I need help! Help me find my wife!"
"What?" Louise had no idea what was happening, "What happened?"
"Last night! James took the Sabbat Toledo..."
"Wait a minute!" Louise didn't interrupt because Cliff put James as the subject, but, "Let's go over there and talk." The door of the living area is not a good place to talk about these things. Louise pointed in the direction of the office, and, helplessly, a visitor had a phone, which seemed to be the standard tonight, "The phone rang."
Fortunately, this time, Louise was a little more cautious, "You should go to the entertainment room and wait for a while. I'll call you after the call is over..."
"No!" A direct refusal, and here's the reason: "I will never stay with this republican guy!!"
"This republican guy has a breed, a ghost~ and a gender, a woman~ and a name, Mo~" Mrs. Mo was obsessed with showing her private purposes and teaching visitors to show respect, so it was not helpful at all.
Louise was powerless to stop Cliff, who was already walking in front, from occupying a seat in the office.
Forget it, Louise answered the phone, "Grand Funeral..."
"Yuehua." The other side of the receiver reported his name directly with a smile, "I need to hurry up, I don't have much time, someone is coming out soon, I only have a little time..." He took a little more. Helpless, you can imagine the person on the other side of the receiver rolling his eyes, "Don't interrupt me, let me finish first."
Louise pursed her lips, glanced, and stopped at a random spot, but Cliff, who didn't hide his irritated and urging face at all, could be regarded as a notice, "It will be soon."
"Is there anyone around you?" For a guy who just said he didn't have much time, Yuehua was still in the mood to ask about irrelevant things. Oh, forget it, who are we to comment
"Well, Cliff is here. It seems he has something important to say. He is waiting for me, so you can tell me." Louise was considerate.
There was silence on the other side of the receiver for a while, it was the agreed time to catch my prayers. Forget it, don't comment.
Speaking slowly, "Louise, I want to ask you to stay calm now and don't show any suspicious emotions."
Louise blinked and adjusted the position of the receiver. Her ears hurt from the pressure, "Uh-huh."
"Linda is here, peeing on a stick in the bathroom right now." If you have any more elegant words to describe this behavior, please tell me, oh no, tell Yuehua, "No matter how many times I tell her to give it back, it's too late now." Morning, it won’t work for at least 6 or 7 days, and now my trash can is full of these sticks.”
"Uh huh" Louise glanced at Cliff, who still had an irritated and urging face, without any suspicious behavior.
"She was in denial mode, thinking that by constantly confirming that the results on those sticks were negative, she was denying that she had begun to conceive of life...I should say more specifically, in keeping with the nature of the inheritor. She was in denial, Her new life cycle has been started, and in 10 months, she will start a new life cycle."
"uh-huh."
"You heard it right. I made it clear that her life span has nothing to do with her legal husband. I hope you don't know what you are hearing these words now, Mr. Cliff."
"Uh-huh!" Louise adjusted her posture and said to Cliff, "Right away."
"I know, it's a tragedy. So, I'm going to hang up the phone now and tell Linda about the human hormonal cycle again. Well, that's what I'm going to say. Bye."
"Bye." (If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian.com () to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation. Please go to m.)
