The first moment he returned to Grande, Zach sensed a visitor. Vertex 23S. Fastest update: A guy that Zach is destined to meet at some point, but he doesn't want to see him, especially at this moment when he doesn't even know what's going on with him and needs help.
"You're back." Fortunately, the first person to greet Zach was Louise. It seemed that she had been waiting for a while.
Zach didn't even think about how to express the current situation, his face was already held by Louise. Weird, I know.
Zach's face was held and moved from side to side, and Louise's eyes seemed to be confirming something. After realizing that there was nothing unusual about Zach at least on the surface, Louise twitched the corners of her mouth and said, "You have lost your memory again."
"Uh." Zach held Louise's hand, "Explain, um, again."
You must praise Zach. No matter what situation he is in, he is positive and forward-looking, and treats everything that happens to him calmly and sensitively. For example now, the keyword amnesia can no longer attract Zach's attention. What he cares about is, again.
The only person who can match Zach's forward mentality is probably Louise. First, she pulled Zach to sit down on the back porch, "Walter called. He said you appeared somewhere you shouldn't have appeared again." Before Zach immediately raised his eyebrows and prepared to ask, Louise motioned for Zach to be quiet. , "Don't ask for details, you know that guy Walter, he can retain a piece of information that says 'Zach has gone somewhere again, whatever happened to Zach last time, it will probably happen again'," He has done his utmost to show his kindness to Grande."
Zach opened his mouth. Although he was a little repelled, he still understood these words, so, "So I already visited Walter, three days ago." He felt helpless and shook his head, "I got the information I wanted to get. Yet?"
Louise was not in a hurry to answer, but was a little surprised, "You already know today's date?" She was just surprised and waved her hand, "You don't have time to listen to me tell you a little bit about what you have done these days." Looking at Zach for permission, "You have a guest, a guest who can stay here for a limited time. You need to receive him with a clear mind, and then decide how to, um, deal with him."
Zach understood what Louise was going to do, adjusted his mood slightly, looked at Louise, "Okay, let's get started."
Louise's eyes were red. After receiving the permission, she naturally showed no hesitation, but the explanation that needed to be said was still, "What you need to know is that this is not restoring the memory, it is me giving you the memory. Last time You lost your memory for three hours, and we tried. During the time you lost your memory, everything about you was blank, and nothing could be restored. You relied on yourself to make up for the three hours of memory. This time, you didn’t have time to make up for it yourself. ,I give you."
Zach still had the heart to joke, "Then make up something nice and put it in, I don't mind~"
Louise smiled, shyly, don’t worry about the truth or falsehood, feel the meaning of Louise’s words, “Good things have already happened, I don’t need to make them up.”
Zach just thought it was him and Louise doing something adult, but in fact, Louise was talking about Zager being kidnapped.
Red enveloped Zach.
The facts, the facts we have seen following Zach these three days, really don’t need to be repeated. Louise finally added something to Zach’s memory.
The first thing is that after Zach left Grande and went to the orphanage at noon, Derek came back, and he came back with old Hank. The memory from Louise's perspective does not reveal what happened between the two, but the atmosphere was so bad that when Derek came back, he immediately left after realizing that Zach had left and left his address in Paisley.
The second thing was that Mo came back and brought back a dozen strange republicans with dull faces. They paid in advance for tomorrow's funeral arrangements, and then rehearsed under Mo's guidance.
The third incident was that a group of people from Allen's Funeral Home came once. Allen, who was under surveillance or protection, had already mastered the ability to walk in the daytime, and left a sentence with a smile, "I can understand now." Why does he like to cause trouble so much? This feels good."
The last thing, Blake called, he was going back to Barton.
If these facts Louise added are any indication, it's that the world really doesn't stop just because someone is missing.
Still, Zach needed a moment to absorb everything, and was in a bad mood.
Let's put it this way, it is one thing for Zach to experience a series of things in these three days, but it is another thing to be told that he has experienced these things all at once.
To give an example that everyone can understand, Benjamin might move away from the Grand with Mokavi. We know Zach had two days to digest this information when it actually happened. But Zach doesn’t have two days to digest it now, right
The memory was not restored, it was told by Louise. Just like the cashier at the store who clearly didn't receive the money, but was told by Charming Eyes that he had received the money, he would say stupidly, 'Thank you for your purchase, welcome to come again next time.'
Zach's current mood is, *!
Benjamin is just an example. Add Derek, add Zagar, add Porky, add Mrs. Quinn, add the Youth League, add Wes... Zach's mood, well, everyone can understand it. .
"Are you okay?" Louise looked at Zach.
Probably all he could do was say, "I'm fine." He stood up and looked upstairs, "I'm going to meet a guest."
Louise couldn't say anything more, she could only remind, "He is different from what we thought before. You should, um, be more tolerant."
Zach didn't want to respond.
Reveal who the guest is. It's Arthur. The radio host who accompanied the interracial brothers through their boring car rides when Zach and Benjamin were doing well.
Now, here he is.
I wonder how Zach caused this guy to lose his job and become a descendant of Eli Toledo... Hehe, since Louise has informed him, let’s use words that are more in line with Zach’s current Sabbat Toledo status. To describe it, 'abandoned vampire'. There is no need to mention the process of how Arthur became what he is now. Since he appears here, it means one thing
Zach opened the door and walked into the office. He only took one look and said, "No wonder he's just a radio host." He started mockingly. Based on Zach's current mood, it's understandable.
Arthur's appearance is not good-looking, he is a fat, balding, ordinary middle-aged uncle.
This guy's eyes were always on Zach, "I finally see you!" It was exactly the same as on the radio, he was very emotional and emphasized the words that were completely unnecessary.
Now is definitely not the time for Zach to take responsibility for ruining someone's life, so Zach sat down expressionlessly, pointed his finger at the table, "Stop talking nonsense, report."
Yes, report.
Repulsion and disgust spread all over his body, "Tonight will be the last batch of newcomers in Barton..." In case anyone doesn't understand, Arthur's newcomers refer to Eli's journey from west to east, in Barton, or brought to Barton. Descendants who came, "Gathered at Becky's ** Bar..."
Before Arthur even finished speaking, Zach was already irritated and didn't want to endure it anymore, "What did you say, ** bar?" Gray professional party nightclub, "Who told people to lead people to ** bar?!"
Arthur should be proud, no one, really no one, has ever made Zach speak in this tone.
Arthur stared at Zach, "No one! I just drew lots!" He took out a handful of pockets, and threw a few crumpled pieces of paper on the desk, and his tone continued to be disgusted, " It was Darcy of your Sabbat who only asked me to lure people to Beqi! He didn't want Papa to cause riots in Barton when he captured those people at midnight!" Then the corners of his mouth twitched, "And most of Beqi's stores These non-mainstream people have been blacklisted, and there are only a few places I can choose from!"
Since Arthur mentioned Darcy, it must be explained. Eli himself, don't show off the facts we know. According to the official statement of the Sabbat, he was purged after being recalled to the Sabbat, right? According to Zach's political policy for the Sabbat, the remaining descendants of Barton should be left to Papa Midnight to deal with, right? Darcy, who was placed in Barton as the Sabbat and as the head of the Barton police, would naturally join in and cooperate.
Zach slowly closed his eyes, "The bar is a gathering place for some of my friends." He opened his eyes, "If my friends lose a safe place to have fun because of you, you won't make it easy for you."
There is a reason why Zach said this. It was not the relationship between Zach and Nuo first, but now the silent relationship. As for Steve, who had just been put in by Louise in his memory, Zach was very clear about Steve's attitude towards aliens. Let Papa pay attention to him because of the abandoned vampire in the middle of the night. In itself, it is something worthy of Zach's annoyance.
"Huh, you've already done this kind of thing." Arthur actually made a move to show off himself, "Look at me!" The inappropriateness is just for Zach's current mood, but we should also understand that for Arthur Said that it was always appropriate for him to ask Zach, "I had a good life! Now! I'm a monster!"
"You said that was a good life?" Zach smiled. Maybe this incident was a good thing. Vampires also need to vent their emotions. Not only for the past three days, but for everything in the past month, Arthur gave him an outlet, "In Your radio show promotes a band of vampires who enjoy killing people, and you think that's a good life."
Zach raised his hand, showed Arthur, and followed Arthur's words, "Haha, why don't you take a good look at yourself. Can you still tell that that is a good life?"
Yes, Zach's emotional outlet. After all, he needed a poor guy to bear the vent of his complicated emotions about the fact that Eli came to him.
Vent your bloody analogy mentality on Russell? Did Russell, an ordinary human being, do anything wrong? Zach can't.
Now, Arthur, just right.
Arthur's face began to turn red, "*!" Perhaps the disgust was slightly transferred to him, "How could I possibly know that he is a vampire! Do you know how difficult it is for a popular non-mainstream band to appear in these years! He is also mysterious enough , Enough topic! How much do you think I really like his band! That’s work!”
Zach glanced at Arthur and continued to taunt, "Since you don't like Eli's band that much, then explain to me, how did you become like this?"
Arthur stopped talking. We know the answer. He went to Eli's concert after losing his job and attended the celebration party. Haha, he answered Eli's thoughts on the stage as a former entertainment professional. course.
One thing led to another, and now he sat in front of the very beginning that had ruined his life... the very beginning that had changed his life.
His face continued to turn red.
A vampire's face turns red and a human's face turns red for the same reason. So it can explain one thing
Zach shook his head and continued his taunting manner, "I see that you are quite enjoying your current inhuman monster life. I can smell the Bruh scent overflowing from you from afar."
This sentence contains two meanings. First, Arthur came to Grande after 'eating', and his whole body exuded the smell of a full meal. Second, the smell of Bruch's blood covering Barton has not gone away. Eve Smith Rimmer, has yet to undo the trap originally laid in Barton to help Grande locate Eli Toledo.
The former is naturally used to mock Arthur, but the latter can be regarded as Eve still not getting the conditions promised by the Sabbat and deliberately delaying it.
Zach once said that if the Sabbat wants Eve to cooperate in eliminating the Bruch smell that fills the entire Sabbat, then it must honestly meet Eve's request. Remember, this is the necessary preparation for the Sabbat to get rid of Eli. You have to sense Eli to kill him.
This conversation that took place when Zach went to Oz to discuss how to deal with Sires is now as clear in Zach's mind as if it had just happened.
As for how everyone knows Louise so well about what Zach has done in the past three days, all I can say is that this pair will exchange a lot of blood when engaging in some kind of adult activity. Vampires, please. Don't question why Louise didn't use blood exchange to fill in Zach's blank memory just now. Everyone should be mature. Louise said there was not enough time. Certain things just fall into the category where if you can't do them, it's better not to do them.
Arthur is probably a guy with average emotional control. He just hit the desk and slapped him! "You think I want this! Do you think I like sucking other people's blood?!"
Zach just sneered lightly, as if anyone did anything disgusting because they liked it. In an extreme example, if a person's life is caused by excessive self-defense, even the person on the defensive side will feel guilty and self-blame. But does this change the fact that it was excessive
The only thing that can make people feel better is strengthening the justification, which in Arthur's particular case is that he is still alive. But Zach was not prepared to help the other party with psychological construction, "I don't care if you want it or not, now you have only two choices. One, stay in Grande, and let me deal with Papa Midnight who may come to you at any time. Two, hum , you obviously don’t like me, then, don’t appear in front of me, as long as you can do your job and complete the message transmission between me and Eli, I don’t care where you go to live your current monster life.”
"You..." It was quite imposing at first, but in the end it was just momentum. Arthur stood up gloomily, "I want to stay in Grande! I can't survive outside!" He was very clear about his situation.
Zach was too lazy to speak, and pointed to the employee living area outside the window, got up, and went back to the master bedroom. Subjectively, Zach felt like he had done nothing today, no, nothing had been done in three days, but Zach was tired.
