Call the police? Don't mention such ridiculous things again. Vertex 23S. Updated fastest Zach stood at Mr. Pixar's house, looking around while sorting out the clothes that had been torn while running.
It didn't take long to figure out that it was the normal state of the house for the utensils to be covered with gauze. The only abnormality was on the first floor, where there were only two telephones that had been turned over on the ground, and a sofa that had obviously collapsed.
Zach went to the second floor.
The room, presumably Toby's bedroom, was locked and Zach couldn't get in. The room that could be entered was Mr. Pickles's room. Zach entered. The same gauze covered most of the furniture, leaving only the bed and wardrobe. There are some traces of artifacts being removed on the wall. Look at the marks left behind, like crosses and the like. They should be some religious items.
There were still signs of use in the bathroom in the bedroom, and Zach found things like towels and toothbrushes that were still wet.
Back in the bedroom, Zach opened the closet, not for inspection, but purely for his own needs. While looking in the mirror in the bathroom, Zach thought he looked so miserable.
As luck would have it, Mr. Pickles and Zack are similar in size. Zach was able to take off his tattered clothes and put on the only formal suit left in Mr. Pickles' wardrobe.
After leaving the bedroom, another room that can be entered seems to be a study.
Mr. Pixar has so many books. The bookcase takes up most of the space. He opened the gauze and took a look at it, "The Function of Faith", "Dogma in Accord with the Times"... Zach went to look at the desk.
It was a pretty ordinary desk, with stationery, photo frames that had been removed, small decorations... Zach opened a few drawers at random. Well, a copy of the contract to sell the Pixar department store is the only working document Mr. Pixar has here.
There was the sound of someone coming in downstairs.
Zach didn't pay much attention and continued to look around in the study. Common sense told Zach that there should be something like a safe here.
"Zach..." The guy who had been in a lot of embarrassment before Zac changed his clothes appeared at the door of the study.
It's Siris. This strong farmer has almost no complete cloth left on his body. I wonder if there will be any news today about someone running away in Noel District!
Zach pointed directly to Mr. Pickles' bedroom, "There seems to be a set of pajamas in the closet."
Sires covered his important parts.
Explain it.
Cyrus was met by Zach when he rushed out of Grande. This guy just went to work on time. He didn't want to see his boss face to face, so he sprinted decisively and kept up with him without thinking.
It’s just a bit hard to follow. This is not only the age gap, but also the bloodline gap. Seres is a fourth generation Cappadocia.
When Cyrus came back in his tight pajamas, Zach actually found Mr. Pickles' safe.
He stretched out his little finger, stretched his fingers towards the keyhole, fiddled with it twice, and opened it.
Zach curled his lips, there was a key in the safe. Key labeled 'Crafts Classroom'.
Gee, a key to Back Bay Community College needs to be placed in a safe. Zach was also unable to comment.
After being followed in confusion by Siris, who continued to wander around the second floor for a while, Zach returned to the first floor.
useful information? No.
"Control blood." Sam said in Zach's pocket.
"No." Zach refused, "No one else is here, no enemies, you don't need to hide. You can just use witchcraft."
Sam's answer was a bit complaining, "I want you to get more used to the feeling of using witchcraft on your body."
"That's a feeling I can never get used to." For such a smooth guy, Zach actually said something absolute. Just wait to be slapped in the face. However, we may not be able to see it, and it will probably be a matter of centuries.
Sam didn't force it, and the dark red surroundings floated out from Zach's pocket, covering the floor, gauze, and walls.
Sires stood aside quietly, confused. He was probably still thinking about why he followed him all the way.
The witchcraft spell probably covered all the indoor space and then was withdrawn, "There is no trace of soul attachment. Mr. Pickles is not dead." To be more objective, "At least he didn't die here."
Zach didn't respond. He looked at the only two unusual places, the overturned phone and the collapsed sofa, thinking about something.
Sam may have misunderstood. He thought Zach was waiting for him to give an explanation of judgment, "The characteristics of the earth-bound spirit, the soul after the death of the body, the binding belt will grab familiar materials in the space where it is, and become the earth-bound spirit." Even if it is an earth-bound spirit that is bound to its own body, there will be some ties connected to its belongings in the environment where it is nostalgic, such as its own home. Even if the body is taken away, at least it will remain Traces, I can find these traces." Sam may just be showing his expertise in souls, "But here, there are no traces, so Mr. Pickles did not die here."
Although Zach didn't listen attentively, he at least heard it, so he retorted, "A nostalgic environment? Looking around, Pixar is obviously preparing to leave this home. Everything he wanted to take away from the bedroom and study was taken away. "It means that Sam's judgment has no reference at all.
Sam fell silent.
However, Zach was inexplicably distracted, so he digressed a little. What is the situation of fathers and sons in this city? If the son dies, the father will run away? Herman is like this, and so is Pixar.
Zach continued to look at the two abnormal places, squatted down, and pushed against the edge of the sofa.
A piece of paper emerged from under the sofa. Zach tilted his head and looked at it for a while.
*Zach looked at the huge machine in the sterile operating room. "Beautiful." He said, ignoring Derek Grande who had no idea what was going on and asked... *
Zach raised an eyebrow, not intending to touch the paper as it felt like it would ruin the scene. But now, Zach picked up the paper.
*... Zach cut his wrist when Derek shouted that this was a sterile room, and held up the dead heart that had been thrown into the medical waste pile, "You need help, let me help you once." Okay, don’t get me wrong, this is a discount on all the relationships between you and Grande.”… *
Zach held the piece of paper, raised his head, and glanced at Siris' head that poked over from above. He had a surprised face that wasn't sure what he was looking at. "Hey." Zach shook his head and looked again. The paper in his hand said, "This is the part where I went to the hospital to find Derek. The machine is called a heart-lung machine, an artificial heart." Zach's mind was a little wandering, "It's just a pity that it's too big to be placed in a human being." "In the chest." Don't blame Zach for drifting. When everything seems confusing, it's no good to have a wandering mind, but it doesn't have any disadvantages either.
Zach was confused, and Siris was even more confused. To put it bluntly, he was a guy who didn't even know why he was here. "I know what a heart-lung machine is... You, you cured a person who died of a heart attack?"
Zach raised the paper in his hand and said, "Yeah, look, isn't it all written on here?"
The first clue emerged. Madison's manuscript. It's just that I don't know which direction this clue will extend.
Sires had drifted away, "Then, can you cure a brain-dead person?"
Gone.
"Well." Zach was actually thinking about this question, "I'm not sure. It depends on the situation. Whether humans today have the ability to keep a brain-dead person alive." The brain is an organ that controls all human functions. This is common sense to everyone. Yes. If the brain is dead, no one can breathe. "If medical treatment has reached the point where it can help people breathe, and any injury loses the absolute definition of fatal, I feel that I can cure any situation, and any vampire can."
The place where Siris drifted seemed to be more specific, "Then if a person's life depends entirely on machines, I can also cure..."
But not finished yet. Doorbell rang.
Zach glanced at the door but did not move. Immediately, there was a knock on the living room window, and Noripet's face flashed through the gap in the curtains.
"Open the door." Zach gave the instruction.
Siris interrupted his question and opened the door.
Nuo looked at Zach who was squatting in the living room holding a piece of paper at the door, "Why are you here." So cold.
"Why are you here." Rebound.
"I saw you, running across my beach." Fortunately, Nuo wasn't too naive, but his eyes fell on Sires in pajamas, and the corners of his eyes were twitching, "Maybe, tsk, it was him I saw. .”
"It's him." Zach said calmly, "No one who saw me remember seeing me."
Sires's face wrinkled, "I, I was seen??"
"It's daytime now, what do you think? You are fast, but not that fast. Humans are not blind. We can still see what is happening in this world." Indifferent.
This statement is somewhat pertinent. Isn't it? No need to emphasize human beings.
Before Siris worried, Zach looked at the obviously excited No, and said to Siris, "Don't worry, I know you are following me, so I chose the road to the border. No one will do it on Monday morning." , nothing to do but stare at the beach in winter."
Friends who were once interracial are now like this. What can I say, Zach’s Charming Eyes are great, and Noona’s rejection of foreigners, which has been deeply buried in the subconscious, is so successful~
Nuo took a deep breath, and when he spoke again, he was still cold, "What's wrong here, Mr. Pixar?" He looked around the gauze-covered space.
"I don't know." Zach told the truth and asked, "You know this is the home of Pixar?"
If Mr. Pickles were still a West Ender, with an estate bearing his name, the question would be moot. But this place is just a very ordinary house in Nuoer District.
"Mr. Pickles asked Ford to leave the address when he was attending his son's funeral." Nuo replied, although still very coldly, "Don't pretend to be surprised. You know that I was helping Ford investigate the new employees of Allen Funeral Home."
Well, it did happen. Remember, it happened when Zach ran to Ford and forced him to go to Toby's funeral. Speaking of which, Zach is still holding the investigation report given by Nuo. Hamilton, Nenad... The previous identities and resumes of these people have nothing to do with the funeral industry.
Zach was not surprised by this, but asked, "Are you paying attention to my movements?" Nuo said that Zac knew that he was helping Ford investigate, which meant that Nuo knew that Ford had told Zac the results of the investigation. That's the logic.
"Isn't it surprising? Knowing where you are, I can avoid it safely. Hum, I can remind everyone to avoid it."
"Everyone?" Zach was not going to point out the loopholes of Nuo being in the same room with him first, but first asked about what he was curious about, "Have you started attending Sunday bar parties again?" Everyone, of course, meant everyone. Those gray professionals.
"Yes." There was nothing to deny, "They are my friends." Then, Nuo made up for his own loopholes and looked at Zach indifferently, "What are you doing now? You will stay in the Nuoer District for a long time. Do I need to upgrade my security, or is it easier to find an Indian to transfer my property?" It's so, so chilling.
Zach did not respond immediately. He stood up, folded the paper in his hand and stuffed it into his pocket. He looked at the Pixar house again, where there was no more clues, and said, "I won't stay here for too long. I will stay here now." Go and don't pollute the environment of your community, haha." Why did Zach want to do this to himself, uh, "But, you'd better find a trustworthy Indian to transfer the property." He gave Nuo a smile and extremely sincere advice, "Don't go to Pai Siying, you know, wizard. So, go to Steve Walker. You are friends, right? You can trust him."
Nuo frowned, and his eyes stayed for a long time as Zach walked out the door, and finally fell on Siris who followed him out, "How many vampires are there in Barton now?"
"More than you remember." Zach still turned around and smiled, "So, I suggest you move quickly."
"Tsk."
Nou had no chance to say anything else, Zach and Sires had already disappeared around the corner.
Don't worry about Nuo, your mood will be complicated and bad.
Zach looked at Sires who was still following him. Although there were really no people looking around outside on Monday morning, the pajamas in winter were still conspicuous.
"I'm going to the mill now to find Madison, will you continue to follow me?"
"I, I'd better go back to Grande." With Nuo reminding this guy that he was seen, Sam was a little cautious now. It was meaningless to look like a man in pajamas, but he still had to clumsily act like a human being walking on the snowy road. of caution. The symbol of humanity among aliens, remember. But in fact, it has no other effect except making him more conspicuous.
Zach nodded and pointed in the direction. After leaving the residential area, there should be transportation. Anyway, there was a part of the trip that was along the way.
"Ah! I'm coming here to tell you something." Sires remembered something.
Zach just nodded his head to indicate and said.
"Hamilton's side, the analysis of that Zmich's blood has results. Nenad asked me to tell you before Lu goes to Grande to report to you."
Zach glanced at Sires and said, "What Nenad wants to tell me is different from what Lu wants to send." That's the truth, otherwise there would be no need to worry.
"Yes." He said it with certainty, but Sires's action was to shake his head, which made Zach speechless due to the contradiction. Sires could only listen to explain, "After Hamilton got the information, he vetoed Nenad's request for information. So what Nenad asked me to tell you is that no matter what information Lu sent you, it was Hamilton." I don’t want him to let Cappadocia know the information..."
Sires said it calmly, but most of it was just a paraphrase. He might not fully understand what he was talking about, "Nenad felt that this time it might affect Zmich's status in the Sabbat, and in disguise, Cappadocia. In the event of his rising status, Hamilton must have received instructions from the Sabbat in the West. Maybe the West has noticed that the Cappadocia clan is preparing to rise, and wants to break up the relationship between Barton and Nenad. Lu gave There must be an order from the Sabbat in your message. Nenad said that he could not do anything suspicious when he was with Hamilton. I hope you would handle it carefully without telling me or him to make Hamilton alert. All you have to do is, Nenad believes that he and you already have a tacit understanding and can cooperate silently."
Zach showed no expression and simply nodded, "I understand."
