Zach went back to Grande because he couldn't stay in the mill anymore. Vertex 23S. Fastest update
Madison, well, not at the mill at all. Zach was also ridiculed by the employees of the mill. Remember, Ryan, this human being who hates Zach because of Ian's mistakes.
He still hates Zach, but he is no longer as naive as before and can only avoid it. He has upgraded and dares to confront the boss of the headquarters as a branch employee:
"Madison hasn't been at the mill these days, don't you know? I write the daily work report, and you haven't read it once? Then can I stop writing it in the future? I'm tired."
Hey, Louise isn't in Grande. Who else in Grande is going to read those work reports, old Hank
This is not bad, anyway, given Zach's current situation in Grande, he has no shame at all. If Ryan could only laugh at these things, he wouldn't let Zach leave the mill.
Zach, on the other hand, was willing to be generous and take advantage of this guy's rare ability to hide from him, and praise his progress. At least the guy who was once mentally retarded and had a split personality now seemed like a normal person.
Zach was wrong.
"My house in the southeast can no longer be rented or sold." The haunted house where the republicans died is nothing surprising, "but it's not because I did anything wrong, it's because of other things in this world. I understand a truth. Many things that happen in this world are beyond my control. I can't hide from them, so the only right thing I can do is to face it. I am the one who wants to survive in this world. , it must be like this. Start by pretending that you can face it."
This is a bit incomprehensible, right? Don't worry.
"Emilia said it's very simple to pretend. Find something that I'm sure I can't control but will never hurt myself, and practice until I think the thing I'm pretending is real. Something I can be sure of, you."
After that, this Ryan stopped talking and looked at Zach, and continued to express "I hate you, but I am confident" in his eyes.
Then Zach couldn't stay any longer. Leave an explanation and let Madison go to Grande to find him when he comes back.
As for where Madison went, Zach didn't ask. No one in the mill knew.
On the way back to Grande, I passed by the house of my neighbor Pochquin. What a coincidence. Amelia's car was parked on the side of the road. Zach couldn't hold it back and went to knock on the door.
"Vampire ghost~"
Zach already regretted it.
Fortunately, Mu En appeared quickly and took the little human away. Emilia showed her face when Mu En took the child to play in the back. Zach ignored it and went to the kitchen, as if he was familiar with the place, preparing hot tea for himself.
"Dr. Browning, you are very proactive." Zach came to see Amelia. "Today is also because of the snow. Do you want to make it easier for patients to come to your home for treatment?" Remember, during the first snowfall, Amy Leah also does house calls.
Speaking of people who hate Zach, Emilia is number one~ It’s just that Emilia’s hatred is much more mature, so it’s not like Ryan’s inability to communicate. Zach started off on a more polite note.
"No." Emilia seemed too lazy to pay attention to Zach, "I am here as a friend to help another friend discuss things." She answered while busying with the things in her hands.
Zach's answer should have been a surprise, but it wasn't so surprising anymore.
What did Porky say to Zach before dawn
Have Emilia and Mu En become friends? It seems that Pochi is not just looking for random topics with Zach.
"I thought your principle was to avoid things involving foreign races as much as possible."
"If you don't come, this matter has nothing to do with the alien race." Emilia was also not caring at all, and glanced at Zach, "You are the only non-human here now, humph, be conscious." Emilia said Zach, who ignored his cup of hot tea, left the kitchen and walked to the second floor.
Emilia probably didn't know that Zach was here to find her, so she turned around and rolled her eyes to express her emotions towards Zach following her.
It was useless, Zach followed with peace of mind.
We arrived at what seemed to be Pochi's study. The reason I'm not sure is that there are bookcases here and the study room is fully furnished, but they are all empty. It should be that Boqi has not lived here long after all, and has not yet had time to fill in these 'facades'.
Speaking of which, the decoration of Pochi's house was only possible because of the decoration team (Austin) introduced by Zach. After it was completed, Porchi didn't even invite Zach to visit. If you look around now, you'll see that it's really in line with Austin's style, and it's all second-hand.
Amelia sat down directly in front of the desk, pretending that Zach didn't exist and flipped through the papers on the table.
"What is this?" Zach glanced.
Have you ever seen the cards used to teach pre-children to read, similar to this one
It’s just that there don’t seem to be many normal words, they are all, uh, names of people.
Emilia obviously didn't want to answer and continued to act like Zach didn't exist.
"Name. Before Boqi and I officially get married, he has to solve the identity problem of our mother and son." Mu En came in, inexplicably shy, "Because strictly speaking, our mother and son are people who do not exist in this world. We have no legal status." identity."
Tsk. Was it one of the ways that the wolves used to control their own wizards
Amelia rolled her eyes again, "You don't have to explain to him."
"It doesn't matter." Mu En smiled and faced Zach, "It's you who gave us new life, and it's because of you that we, mother and son, obtained our identities." As grateful as he was at the beginning, he gestured to Zach, "Are you willing to help? "
"Why not." Zach was just stimulating Amelia. At Mu En's invitation, he also sat at the desk, "These are all male names." He flipped through a few cards, George, Mark, Paul …
"Mu En is the name Boqi used when he met me. He is used to it and doesn't need to change it." Mu En explained, "The child..." He looked at Zach with some hesitation, "Boqi has always had opinions on the child's name. 'I don't feel it,' he said."
Recall that after Moon was rescued, the only time she went to Grande to thank Zach was at that time she formally introduced the child's name. Do you remember what Boqi said
Emilia suddenly became professional. It was probably an occupational disease. "It was the sense of loss caused by not participating. Pochi felt that he had missed two years of his life and wanted to make up for it." Of course, he said it to Mu En, "This kind of His psychology caused him to reject the child's original name, and he wanted to participate in the child's life from the beginning, starting with naming."
It sounds reasonable and in line with the normal mood of a father.
Zach flipped through the cards piled on the table and picked up one, "Porky II." Zach was reading.
Emilia directly took the card out of Zach's hand, threw it into the trash can, and gave it with a white eye.
Zach was very innocent, "No way, I think Pochi should like this name the most." This is really true, which father doesn't want his son to inherit his name~ From the beginning of the child's life, there are What could be more radical than this
"This is not Poch's business alone." Emilia was also choosing a name. She was still speaking to Mu En as a friend. Was it just words? It was too occupational. "We must consider the children's feelings. . We may think that a two-year-old child is too young to have any feelings about names, but two years of life is his entire life. This entire life has used one name, and now it suddenly changes to another name. We cannot ignore the child It’s a period of transition. So don’t use such a label-like name, it’s too specific and is no good. You can consider a middle name.”
Mu En nodded in agreement, Zach, just tilt your head, it doesn't matter. Let's finish this matter quickly and have a good chat with Emilia about how she teaches people to hate herself. This is what Zach wants to do. I am gentle to the world, why is the world not gentle to me? By the way, the reason why Zach suddenly visited Poch's house is because of his psychological imbalance. He needs a reasonable solution.
After flipping randomly for a while, Zach stopped moving.
Choosing a name is too human a thing for a vampire to do.
Everyone should now be able to understand some of the ethics of vampires, such as inheritance, which has been mentioned many times. Descendants of vampires are not born, they are selected according to standards. They are people who have already lived in this world as humans. Their names are given as a gift.
Giving a name to a being who has not yet touched the world is really not something a vampire would consider. Probably only humans have such troublesome needs.
"Why are you here again?" Mu En turned her head helplessly and looked at the little figure at the door.
"It's boring to play alone~" The little guy went straight to Zach, "Vampire ghost~"
Well.
Zach simply couldn't refuse a little human climbing on him. He spread his hands and let this little creature grab his hands and climb up to his knees. He also patted Zach's wrinkled trouser legs decently to smooth them out before turning over and sitting down. Yes, sitting in Zach's arms.
Zach didn't hug him, kept his sitting position and showed no expression, watching the little human groping in front of him.
Thimble Sam was pinched in the little human's hand, "Earthbound Spirit~" he said happily.
Mu En was startled, "Give it back to Mr. Grande quickly!"
Before he could return it, it was put on his hand, and it was spinning wildly.
The little human's attention quickly shifted, and he threw himself at Zach towards the desk, "So many names~"
It was Emilia who nervously supported the little human lying on the desk, while Mu En was anxious to get the thimble on his finger.
Zach didn't move the entire time. It wasn't until Mu En returned the thimble with both hands that he calmly took Sam back and put it in his pocket. explain? Why explain it!
"Andrew~" The little human grabbed a card.
This is surprising. This guy who is less than three years old actually knows such a complicated name.
The little human waved the card and stood on the table with Emilia's support.
"Andrew?" Mu En looked a little helpless, "Do you like this name?"
"Andrew, Andrew~" the little human shouted, turning in the direction of Zach again, bending his short legs and jumping...
In Zach's arms again!
Zach frowned and looked at the little human. There is no doubt that Toledo, who cannot communicate with Mokawi, is not good at dealing with young children. Because these two things have one thing in common, they are uncontrolled.
"Okay, okay! Andrew." Moon apologized to Zach again and picked up the little human, "Your name will be Andrew Bochi from now on, okay?"
"Andrew!" The little human seemed to be a little excited as he moved away from Zach. The hand holding the card waved to Zach, "Andrew, Andrew..."
Zach really didn't know what response this little human wanted from him, and kept frowning.
"Call him Andrew." It was Amelia, pushing Zach with an uncertain look, "Call him Andrew."
Zach glanced at Amelia, then at Mu En, who also didn't know why his child was excited, and twitched the corner of his mouth, "Andrew."
"Kekeke, vampire ghost~" returned to normal.
Tsk. Does anyone understand what just happened
Please listen to professional analysis
After Mu En finally sent the little human who was now Andrew out again, Emilia frowned and looked at Zach, "What did you do!"
"What did I do?" Zach kept frowning.
Mu En was even more confused, "Did Mr. Grande do something?"
"Uh!" Amelia looked very irritated, "I don't know what he did! But I'm sure what he just did! Andrew is looking for identity! Mu En, you didn't see it, your child is looking for a stranger Human identification! He’s asking Zach to confirm his name!”
Mu En might not have followed, "He is not a stranger, he is a benefactor."
"He's not." Emilia, a guy who avoided foreign affairs, now "Pochquin is! Grande just accepted the commission from your future husband and the father of your child. Well, to be more direct, save The ones who killed you were Benjamin, Mokawi, and Nofeiler! This guy just gathered a bunch of people and then did nothing!"
Isn't this a fact? In the end, no one did anything to defend the wolf pack formed by Barton's aliens. The wolves were killed by the wayward Alpha Benjamin and the vampires who had just entered Barton.
Zach no longer frowned, but raised his eyebrows, "You know very well, Amelia."
"Avoiding doesn't mean you don't know!" Emilia really didn't have to be nice to Zach, "Harrison is also involved, we will talk!"
Zach tilted his head, this explanation was acceptable, but, "You said Andrew was seeking my approval. Why."
"Why don't you tell us why?" I was asked in return, "What did you do to a child under three years old?! Why does he care so much about your approval?"
Why. Zach would be damned if he knew. But to be honest, I don’t know. It seems that Emilia wouldn’t believe it. Then, “weak creatures will be afraid of powerful creatures.” When talking about the latter, Zach was referring to himself, “There are only three reactions. Escape and fight. , closer. I guess Andrew is the last one.”
Don’t take it seriously, Zach has only one purpose for saying this.
Looking at Emilia's livid face, everyone guessed who was escaping in this sentence. Isn't it Emilia who claims not to participate in foreign affairs? So, how did this woman who escaped by herself treat her patients
For example, Ryan~
Emilia taught Ryan how to face it, starting with pretending. Oh, yes, a doctor who runs away is letting others fight.
Zach, after all, he has directed the topic to his own purpose...
