"I don't want to go back to Barton. Apex 23S. The fastest update" Linda.
Emotionally "Your family is at Barton." Louise.
Linda's was placed on her belly, "There will be no family."
"We're both adults, you and Cliff can work this out."
"It can't be solved." Linda's reasoning was fuller than Louise's: "Ten months later, I won't be an adult, I will be a baby, and I can't expect Cliff to take care of me and grow up while forgiving me. betray."
"Things don't have to be so irreversible." Louise was trying hard. Although Zach said, 'Do whatever needs to be done, even tie Linda, to tie Linda back to Barton.' But Louise was very suspicious of Zach. K said using violence, after all, they were Toledo. This is Zach's proud moment.
Louise glanced at Yuehua, "We still have time. Ten months is a long time. You don't need to draw conclusions about anything yet."
Yuehua received Louise's signal and nodded, "Yes, Linda, you have been hiding here for a day, you can see it, what research are we doing here." The terminated embryo continued to grow, An experiment that kills the birth of new life. Yuehua said he wanted to assist, and this was assisting.
Linda looked at Yuehua, "You think I don't know this option?" She shook her head and looked away, "I don't need your black witch's research, any hospital's obstetrics and gynecology department can provide abortion. Manual." He stopped talking.
Louise frowned. Linda's words made people feel dangerous, "Do you want to give birth to this child?" This matter must be described in terms of the characteristics of the inheritor, so Louise shook her head and changed To put it another way, "Do you want to start a new life cycle? Give up this life?"
"Do I have a choice?" Linda became inexplicably irritable, "I can't return to the Sabbat, I have retired, and the Sabbat has no need to raise..." Raise, captive, ha, no difference, "The Sabbat has no need to raise me. I can't go back to Barton, I betrayed Cliff, tsk, and Eli Toledo is in Barton. I know he is using me to test the Sabbat, I can't, I can't put myself in that situation, I will be very tragic!"
Louise frowned and didn't respond immediately, which gave Linda a chance to finish, "So what choice do I have? I can only 'escape' and disappear! Then give birth to this, ugh, baby, and start a new one." Life cycle, start everything over, a clean start!”
Louise still didn't reply immediately, but Yuehua tilted her head and said, "Coward."
"I'm a woman, I have the right to be a coward." Linda gave Yuehua a roll of her eyes, "And you who live a happy life! You don't deserve to judge me!" She looked around at the black witch's Salem. Of course, this is just a certain place. It is an indoor laboratory, but it is enough to express Linda's point of view, "I have an organization that sincerely protects me! And I have a family with people I truly love! What about me? What I have is a contractual marriage! Once the inheritor is discovered, If the race cycle is limited, give up the captive inheritance..." Linda seemed to realize that she said something she shouldn't have said, and shut up.
Yuehua frowned, probably thinking about the negative impact that contrast would have on life.
However, Louise was the one who really realized the key point of Linda's words, "The racial cycle of the inheritors is limited." Louise repeated it, looking at Linda, "Darcy said to Zach However, as long as he completes his work in Barton, he will be rewarded and become an immortal vampire and stay in this life cycle forever. And Darcy said that he needs this reward because he is infertile and he cannot control his next birth. What species is the life cycle of? He can't stand that he will become a lower creature, and then expects and waits for how many years later he can become a human again."
Yuehua obviously heard this for the first time. She raised her eyebrows, then immediately lowered her head and started thinking.
Linda also noticed Louise looking at her belly and frowned, "So you know the secret of the inheritor, hum, what do you want to express?"
"I want to say that you are lucky Linda. At least you are luckier than Darcy. Darcy has exhausted all his opportunities as a human being in the Sabbat, and now he can only rely on the rewards of the Sabbat. You don't seem to have" Louise pointed out She was pregnant with Linda's belly. What else is there to say? At least in this life, Linda can control the next life as a human being. "But." Louise shook her head, "I believe in the Sabbat." I am willing to let you 'retire' because I already know that your opportunities are about to run out, right?"
Louise paused for a moment, then began a guess without much jump, no, a statement, "Your contribution to the Sabbat cannot possibly meet the conditions for the Sabbat to grant you eternal life. Look at you, Linda, In this life, you are James' neighbor, and we all know that for James, nothing will be a contribution to the Sabbat, he is too stupid."
This is not talking about what happened when James was at Barton, but when James was still in the west. Louise was polite enough, Wes would just call James stupid.
Linda grew gloomy.
Louise continued, "You are no longer of use to the Sabbat, so I can think that you have been abandoned a long time ago, so you were sent to Barton for the last mission to find out information about other alien races in Barton. Ask James Sir, your foreign identity is your last bit of value to the Sabbat. And all the things you have done for the Sabbat are not enough for you to accept the reward and become a vampire." Louise shook her head in sympathy, "Not only that, the Sabbat has at least evaluated that if you are allowed to cycle through the life cycle again and become a human again, the value you can provide is not enough to make you immortal." A little fact, Darcy is from a famous family and is a law enforcement officer in the west. Do you remember the police family that has been represented and passed down from generation to generation? Do you need a clearer comparative analysis? Then continue, "So, you have been completely given up. Hanging on to the Sabbat's position has no value to you or to the Sabbat."
Louise's conclusion has come out, "After considering everything, the Sabbat doesn't even want to give you the last bit of hope, so I'm thinking, Linda." Pointing to Linda's belly, "Next Can you determine the life cycle, can you still give birth?”
Linda's face turned completely gloomy.
No one said it was shameful to run away from a bad situation. However, escaping to a dead end would be ridiculous.
Linda pressed her abdomen and said gloomily, "I don't know." Somewhat ferocious, "Before the inheritors were kept in captivity by the Sabbat, we never knew that there would be a limit to our continuous cycle in a species! We have never been powerful. As a race, accidents will happen, and we don’t have any inheritors who cycle through a species more than ten times in a row!”
Glancing at Louise, "It's the Sabbat that gave us this opportunity." Captivity~ Ask the farmers if they protect their property from accidents when they raise pigs and sheep, "The Sabbat protects We have given us the opportunity to continue the cycle of the human species!" You can also ask farmers what sustainable development is ~ "So we began to realize this 'time bomb' buried in the definition of our successors! My compatriots are disappearing! One by one, they find themselves unable to have children! In their current lives, they can only watch helplessly waiting for themselves to become lower creatures in the future!"
Louise thoughtfully gave Linda a chance to vent her emotions and nodded lightly, "You don't want this to happen to you, right?"
Linda's hand was pressing hard on her abdomen.
Yuehua has finished thinking, "Is there a specific number for the limit of this inheritor within the same species?"
"No!" The answer was naturally Linda. "The first person to experience infertility was a guy who had cycled twelve times. He tried until he was 40 years old and found out that he had no reproductive capacity. It was like a calm lake exploding. , each inheritor began to check his body, and more and more infertile inheritors were discovered, thirteen times, fifteen times." Gritting his teeth, "Ten times!" So this number is not just It goes up and it goes down. It really belongs to the inheritor, it’s random.
"Is this the first time you have used human beings as your life cycle?" Yuehua asked.
"twelve!"
Regardless of whether it is random or not, the probability is very bad for Linda!
Even though this was a favorable situation for Louise, it was considerate enough for Louise to at least not jump for joy and say, "I'm sorry, but Linda, that's my point, you really want to start a new cycle." ? Putting aside the fact that you will become a baby who is completely unable to live a self-sufficient life, do you really want to take the risk? Start your thirteenth human life." That might be Linda's last.
Linda suddenly calmed down.
That's bad, it means she gave up.
"It's boring." Linda stopped pressing her abdomen, and her eyes drifted to nowhere. "I originally married Cliff to end this ridiculous cycle. I'm already prepared to die."
Isn't it like this? The inheritance of two inheritors points to the same descendant. Which inheritor survives is left to God to decide. It will definitely end the pain of one inheritor. Yes, it is painful. Do you think it is an interesting experience to randomly become a plant, a bug, or a mouse? Not to mention what we have discussed before, even if we become advanced human beings, when we normal humans are still enjoying childhood and rebellious teenagers, the inheritors have already taken a step forward and are considering saving seeds. This is an eternity of pain.
"Hmph." Linda tilted her head, as if her neck had nothing to support her head. "It's so boring. I won't end up well no matter what. Haha, what am I struggling with here."
Louise was prepared for Linda's resistance, but she was not prepared for Linda's giving up.
In Louise's confused moment, Yuehua did something that an assistant of hers shouldn't do.
"You don't need to give up like this." Yuehua frowned, "You have other choices." Looking at Louise, "You can become a vampire. Stay in this life cycle forever."
Louise frowned and said nothing for a simple reason. Why did Linda run away from Barton? Hey, if becoming a vampire was a feasible option, why didn't she just agree to Eli? Are these things happening now? Becoming a vampire cannot protect Linda, it will only allow her to do what Eli wants and become proof of challenging the Sabbat's reward and punishment system! Then how do you let Darcy behave? Do you understand that Linda, a successor who is not worthy of receiving the reward, has become a vampire and is immortal? Darcy is doing his best for the Sabbat. What is this loyalty? Isn’t it funny? Please recall what Nenad said. This Cappadocia is really not a nobody. His insights are very to the point. Eli is using Linda to test the foundation of the Sabbat.
Yue Hua still looked at Louise, "I'm not telling you to surrender to Eli or ask Grande for help. What I'm saying is, well, Barton is not the only vampire."
Support, damn it, Yuehua is causing trouble.
There are indeed more vampires than Barton, and there is an important point. The vampires in Barton now, including Zach, are vampires who should not casually test the foundation of the Sabbat. After all, everyone has not completely broken up with each other yet. There are still a large number of foreign vampires in the middle, left by Eli Toledo's journey eastward; left by the Secret Alliance and left the Federation.
Yuehua is telling Linda that she still has a choice. She doesn't have to start a new life with a high probability of death, and she doesn't have to face Barton's complete situation and a new way out.
Louise pursed her lips and looked at Yuehua, 'Really? What about the assistant you promised? You are driving Linda further away from Barton! '
Yuehua was conscious, so he explained to Louise, "I didn't say she should go find the vampire now. She has plenty of time. And..." Yuehua opened his arms, "Remember, we are not in Barton right now. , not in Newton, we are in the middle." A small pause, and a little proud, "We are in Salem. It may be ridiculous, but there are vampires living in Salem. Compared with other places in the middle, Salem is safe.”
Louise pouted, understanding what Yuehua meant, so she turned back to Linda, "Did you hear that? You don't need to be depressed so quickly. You still have a choice."
Yuehua returned to the assistant position, "The most important thing is that you still have time. It will take at least three or four months before your belly starts to show. You have a lot of time to consider your options. And I have to "Say." Yuehua nodded towards Louise, "This is an opportunity. You were not found and brought back to Barton by others. You were brought back by Grande's Louise Toledo. You are absolutely safe."
"Humph, absolutely? Why are you so confident?" It was also wonderful. It was Yuehua who said it, but Linda mocked Louise.
"Because Zach is still alive." Louise said it. "You should know, you have been practicing with Zach on your farm for so long, and you have always known his plan to fake his death."
"So what if I know?" Linda was still giving up impatiently, "The problem now isn't Zach, right? He faked his death to avoid Eli! The guy who caused me to be in this situation is Eli! What can Zach do? Will he face Eli for me? Destroy his own plan?!" He shook his head, waved his hands, and looked into the distance. Feel the mood.
"Then, what if I tell you that Zach has new plans for Eli?" Louise glanced at Yuehua, "This is also Grande's secret, don't tell anyone." Then she continued to talk to Linda. , "Eli and Zach knew each other when they were still humans. Eli made Zach who he is now, and Zach also made Eli who he is now. They are not absolute opposites."
"What?" Linda was interested. No, this is a habit. It is a habit after serving the Sabbat in an organization for twelve life cycles. "Aren't they absolutely opposite?! The Sabbat is between him and Eli. Choose..." Linda shut up, with a constipated look on her face, "What is Zach going to do?!"
"Why are you asking~" Louise actually smiled, "You have always known, Zach, no, all of us in Barton have an attitude towards the Sabbat~" Skipping the part that made the statement too clear, directly Conclusion, "Believe me, believe Grande, believe Zach, he will not let Eli become your trouble." Because, whether Zach's original intention or now, his purpose has not changed, and it is even clearer, Eli Toledo should be the Sabbat's trouble, not the Barton alien race, so it's time to unite all the people involved.
There is no need to give Linda another chance to refute, "Let Grande help you, you, help Grande. Come on, come back to Barton with me, James is still waiting, he is very worried about you." (... )
