"I. Apex 23S. The fastest updated." Eli stood in the center of Grande's backyard, arms spread out for dramatic effect, "I have crossed oceans and continents, and finally stood here."
There are many pairs of eyes on him. With the current population of Grande, the majority should be ex-criminals in the new living area. Where did that idiot come from? '. The idea of telling everyone about these insignificant characters is to explain that Danny the Phantom has temporarily left Grande at this time.
The main characters don't have any inexplicable thoughts. For example, Louise just waved from the office window on the second floor.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time." Louise spoke first, in a calm and natural tone, "Before you ask, James is here, in the basement..."
"James is here?" Eli was a little surprised.
Louise frowned and looked at Eli's expression. It didn't look fake, "He's here. Aren't you here to find him?"
"No." He shook his head, nodded again, and started to talk to Louise, "But it's convenient for him to be here, right in the basement." Eli sat down behind the desk, "Let him out later, I have some I need to talk to you about things.”
Louise continued to frown, this should be her line, "Okay, just right, me too."
Just when Louise thought the serious conversation was about to begin
"You are beautiful~"
"Uh, thank you." Louise waved her hand and put a blood bottle on the table.
Well, we all know that Louise is waiting for Eli to come over, and Zach has told her to be ready. So whatever personal purpose Eli had other than finding James, Louise wouldn't let herself be affected. What is this blood bottle for? Everyone will find out soon.
"I've never known what type of woman Zachary likes. You..." Eli tilted his head, "It's expected, yet surprising."
"I praised it right then and there." Louise pushed the blood bottle towards Eli and was about to continue.
"This is a compliment~" Eli's eyes fell on the blood bottle, but he didn't seem to feel the need to pay special attention to it, "Smart, sharp, decisive, clear, and of course, beautiful. I admire your, ha, character .”
Louise started to feel a little weird. This is when someone says to your face that you are a 'character'. Louise glanced away, thinking it would be better not to respond. Things progressed at different levels. There was no need to jump to the stories written by Madison now. A healthy conversation requires a peaceful foundation. "You know What is this blood bottle?"
"Thank you, I'm not hungry." Eli still didn't care about the meaning of the blood bottle, and continued what he said, "I feel that you think it is necessary to please you." Don't worry about Eli's choice of words, "After all, although I I have been in Barton for a while and have been in contact with Alpha, but I have never revealed what I will do with the Toledo orphans in Barton. Haha, Zach’s orphans, you are one of them."
Louise didn't care about Eli's words. Instead, Louise was more concerned about the information contained in these words, so she temporarily gave up asking Eli to pay attention to the blood bottle that had been pushed in front of him, and instead said, "You No 'general' from the southeast has been contacted yet?"
"Unfortunately, no." Eli raised his hand and shook it, "They were originally the first one on my 'visit' list, but James changed my plan."
"James." Louise curled her lips, "How did he change?" Curious? More speechless.
"He said that if I'm not going to kill every Toledo vampire, I shouldn't bother those gang members who only want revenge."
Louise thought for a moment and then answered, asking, "Revenge that has nothing to do with you prevented you from cleaning up the Toledo bloodline?"
Eli put on a smile, "Why do you ask that? Shouldn't you feel lucky? At least for now, I don't plan to let Toledo's bloodline disappear. Even if I have such a plan one day, Those guys from the southeast will also be in front of you.”
"You can't make Toledo's bloodline disappear." Louise shook her head, showing a little sympathy appropriately, but Eli used the word "looking down" in what she just said, and returned it, "I thought you knew 'General' I am not the only descendant of Zach, we also have brothers, in places you can never touch."
"Ian, are you right, Papa Midnight's vampire?" Eli accepted the ridicule calmly, and then winked with a slightly strange expression, "I have never understood that guy, Papa Midnight. What on earth is he? Did he come? God or human? I have read some literature, saying that he was once a human, until he began to cheat death with his witchcraft and became a 'non-human'. Ha, thank you Holy Lord, I am not thirteen The clan, hehe, doesn’t have to face such enemies.”
Louise looked at Eli and stopped talking.
"Why are you looking at me like that? Do you like my makeup? Haha, the trick is eyeliner..."
Louise shook her head and interrupted with calm words, "Just tell me what you are doing here, and then I will talk to you about the really important things. I will give you, um, three minutes. Start now."
Eli was stunned for a moment, "Where does your natural attitude come from?"
"You'll know in two minutes and 59 seconds." Louise shook her hand to urge.
Eli narrowed his eyes, still not seizing the moment, but looking at the office. What he wanted to see was not the office, but the entire Grande. His confusion was expressed in his deliberate soliloquy, "Alfa is not at home, and there are only women, old men, children, and a bunch of unrelated humans in Grandry. Why do you think so?"
Louise said nothing and pointed at the time.
After spending another ten seconds in silence, Eli finally spoke normally, but he was still wasting time, "Is it Alice? Grande's banshee told you that she didn't see your death, so you dared to do this …”
Louise leaned against the back of the chair, her arms on the armrests supporting her chin, her whole body sitting crookedly, and she seemed to be in a daze.
Eli moved his lips and smiled, "Hehehe." He smiled well. "Allow me to ask, did your banshee, Miss Alice, see Zach's death~"
Louise's dazed expression changed slightly. Because, this is a threat, isn't it? A naked threat~ Ha! Let me tell you a joke that can only be understood from God's perspective. All Barton, except for a few carefully selected people, believe that the third 'Colt' is in the hands of Eli...
Just a little bit, Louise still decided to follow her own pace. Then, just continue to be in a daze.
Eli fell into a passive state. He stared at Louise, his face getting darker and darker... He was already very pale, "Are you betting that I won't be able to carry weapons when I visit Grande for the first time?"
Louise closed her eyes to cover up her rolled-up eyes. When she opened her eyes again, opened and closed her mouth, she restrained herself from saying, "Then take out the Colt and scare me." Be gentle. Okay, after all, haha, Louise knows, we know, who is the party that really occupies the absolute height here
"You appeared in the center of our backyard." Louise was still sitting crookedly, lazily. Anyway, it was a waste of the other person's time. "If you want to use violence, we will not notice your appearance at all, right?" Yeah." He waved his hand and said, "This is the last chance to tell you why you came. I only give you three minutes for the sake of showing up well. If you go through the main entrance, I can give you five minutes."
"Wow~" Eli curled his lips, "Stories are just stories after all. The way Madison shaped you, the woman around Zach, is not true. Reckless is your true nature, right~ Or maybe you have just given up. , life is not much better than standing on the street and you gave up ~ Haha, you gave up on yourself ~"
This...is an insult. Even someone like Louise, who has never denied her past, could sense the malice in those words, that, "Well, your time is up."
Louise sat upright and looked at Eli with a serious expression, "It's my turn." Pointing to the blood bottle that had been pushed in front of Eli, "Can you feel what kind of blood this is."
Think about it from Eli's perspective. Even if you don't understand the reason for Louise's current attitude, you should have a little doubt about what the blood bottle Louise has been signaling is.
"I told you I'm not hungry." Eli looked at the blood bottle in front of him, which was no taller than a finger. "And this amount is not even worthy of a snack..."
There is no need to listen to the end, "Listen carefully." Louise opened the bottle cap for Eli, "This is your problem, the so-called Sabbat Toledo. You may prefer me to say that it is your race. Talent, but sorry, it's a problem, a flaw." Louise made a sniffing gesture, "No normal vampire would think this is just a bottle of ordinary human blood."
Eli frowned and resisted a little, "This is ordinary human blood..."
"This blood has the smell of Bruch." Louise said bluntly.
Eli was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "Are you kidding, haha, Bruh..."
"Georgina told us." It's uncomfortable to look at the other person's pretense. Sympathy is just a negative emotion. Don't put any moral label on it. "The secret of your race." Louise shook her head helplessly, " But your first purpose of coming here is not to find James, so I guess you haven’t seen that part yet.”
Eli's brows furrowed, "What part."
"You asked Georgina and Robert to return to Barton, but before they started doing anything, Robert was killed by Zach using the 'Colt Instant Kill'. Georgina ran to Grande to avoid James, and then..." Louise waved her hand, "Why should I spoil it? Just read it yourself."
Perhaps unrelated to the topic at hand, “Madison’s narrative style is very twisted.”
Louise was too lazy to respond to this, "The point is, you need to know that when Georgina was a 'guest' in Grande, he not only mastered your race's blood control skills, but also obtained your secrets about your vampire Bloody, blind." Literally blind.
Eli adjusted his posture. There was a lot of information to be received. The first thing to bear the brunt was naturally Zach's mastery of blood control skills. Then comes the revelation of his own secret. Don’t forget, even the Sabbat doesn’t know Eli Toredo’s secret! Finally, there's Georgina, Grande's, uh, 'guest'?
"Based on this." Louise pointed to the opened blood bottle, "You must think that the whereabouts of you and your descendants in Barton are so hidden, right? I'm sorry to tell you that you have no idea at all. Not hidden, as you want to say, Bruch has disappeared in the Federation, so if any vampire feels Bruch's aura in Barton, it's you, it's you."
How nice of Louise to help Eli cut through the complicated information and point out the truth, "So, even if you don't appear directly in the center of Grande's backyard to show everyone, you are here. You can approach Grande from anywhere. Rand, I would know."
Eli didn't say anything, but finally picked up the blood bottle in front of him and observed it. Ha, as if he could see something.
"Rimmer's work." Louise said directly, and then took out the second thing without giving Eli time to digest it, and said, there are levels of advancement. This is a list, a list of only 8 names, "This is the list given to Grande by Darcy of the Sabbat before you arrived at Barton. The hunting team that Lesembra personally selected. The team that hunts you down." Likewise, Pushed towards Eli.
Eli pointed to the blood bottle and picked up the list. We should say something positive about Eli, at least now he knows and should keep silent...
Sorry, Eli did not remain silent, "When I first entered Massachusetts, I saw these guys surpassing me."
"Yeah." Louise was already getting the third item and responded casually, "When you showed up in Newton, they had already contacted Cozier." Likewise, Eli was not given time to digest. The third thing has been launched.
It was a photo, a Polaroid, a dead deer, an 'I'm sorry' message. Now Eli was silent.
"Where did you see it?" Louise frowned, "Did you see Alice confessing to Laura for the first time that she is not an ordinary person?"
Eli continued to be quiet for a while, then threw away the photo in his hand, "I saw it, it feels very strange. Zach recounted the history of him and me like that at the dinner table. It was so wrong. Ha." He smiled with indescribable emotions, "Also Consider that an important life lesson.”
Do you still have the impression that in order to comfort Alice's uneasiness, Zach asked all the aliens to tell their stories about the first time they revealed themselves to humans as aliens. That was our Zach telling his Toledo origin story for the first time.
Just as Louise was about to speak, Eli preempted her, "Do you know why, I would take the initiative to tell Alpha the story of four centuries ago."
Louise didn't care about the reason, but since the other party asked, "You are asking Alpha for a coexistence agreement, and you need to show sincerity. There is no more effective topic than a middleman to open up the situation. You also need to explain that you are staying The reason for this message.”
"You're right, but not everything." Eli seemed calm. He should be calm. This was the necessary preparation after realizing that things might be completely beyond his control. It's a bit like preparing snacks, tissues, etc. before watching a movie, because you don't know whether the movie will make you burst with appetite or burst into tears. "I have been working with James for a few days," he said. 'I learned about some of the Barton aliens, and learned about some of the agreements between Zach, Alpha, and the human Anthony, and the Barton aliens ten years ago. I am very..."
Everyone! serious!
"Confused. Zach is not a good person." He glanced at Louise, "You should know it by now. I think Alpha should have relayed what I told him that night. Zachary became Toledo's True history. He is not a good person. He is bad. I can even describe him that way. He took the immortality he had obtained and deliberately ran up to me to show off, and then continued to emphasize that I had got what I wanted even though I was stupid. When he was living a stable life, he looked at me with sympathy. In the countless encounters that he didn't even realize after that, he was still like that, aloof, giving orders and even executions as a noble Toledo noble. , haha, the so-called vampires who have tarnished the reputation of vampires. Finally, let’s look at all the things he did in the Secret Alliance. Did you know that Lesembra of the Sabbat used these deeds to create a collection? Now In Cozier’s hands, in Patton’s hands.”
I noticed the small change in Louise's expression, which is to be expected, Zagel, Louise has been avoiding this thing...
Not off topic!
Eli raised his hand, "Don't speak yet, let me finish. All those deceptions, betrayals, and provocations in the Secret Alliance... Haha, he, Zachary, is an amazing Toledo, but he is not a good person. So, What confuses me is that ten years ago. Haha, the Zachary I know is different from the Zachary the Sabbat knows. Can you believe that such a bad guy actually acted under the silent instructions of a wizard? , adopted a homeless banshee? (Alice's story), not to mention those other alien races, huh, let a ghoul play a harmless human? Send an IOU and let a mind reader do it for you Clothes?… God, who is he?”
Eli shook his head, "I told Alpha that to clear up confusion. I thought Alpha would question my story and then say something for his 'brother' vampire, but Alpha didn't. He listened to me. After night, I finished my transformation and went back to sleep.” (..)
