Judging from the severity of the incident, Zach should give priority to receiving Madison
Human life is fragile. Mr. Pixar's life and death are unknown, but things like Zmich, Soul Expansion, and Ban Lin are not a threat to Zach and cannot escape for the time being. Vertex 23S. This is the fastest update possible.
But it wasn't Maddison who occupied Zach first.
"What's going on with you and Nuo?!" Identity businessman Steve Walker had a frustrated and painful expression on his face, "Finally, Sibera didn't argue every day that vampires are a threat! My companion! But he started to give me gifts House!!”
There is no need to explain the meaning of this.
Zach didn't know whether he should be happy or not. No matter what the relationship between Nuo and himself was, he valued his suggestions and acted quickly enough. Fortunately, I hesitated to call, otherwise it would have been really embarrassing.
But it was rare for Steve to actually come to Grande to ask Zach about it. Presumably, 'my companions', he included Zach in that. He felt sad that other companions could not treat Zach with the same normal attitude as he did.
"Nothing is going on with me." This is not a topic that makes people feel comfortable. It's better to end it as soon as possible. "It's just that things have reached this point." Now that Steve is here, Zach has to ask what he should ask. "I want to ask you something. Are there any special identity transactions recently?"
Steve obviously didn't want the topic to be diverted so quickly, but he was also a conscious person. Looking at Leo and Madison waiting aside, he knew that Zach was not in a position where he could talk about his journey for a long time.
"No, they are all ordinary transactions..." He frowned, remembering something unpleasant, "If you want to know the trends of our gray professional group, come to our gatherings! You have been absent many times! "
Zach's eyes drifted for a moment and he shook his head, "Next Sunday, Grande will participate." Guess where Zach's eyes drifted to? Yes, it's the direction of the living area. What Zach means is that Grande will rejoin the gray professional party, but it won't be Zach, it will be Old Hank's. There's no need to make it too clear, just give those people a 'surprise' when the time comes. Zach made his question more specific, "Is there any transaction where I don't show up and I buy the identity on my behalf?"
"Tsk. There are some. It's not a transaction that can be carried out openly, often." In principle, Steve is not obliged to answer Zach, "Why are you asking this? Is there anything you have been doing recently that is related to this. "But Steve frowned now and started to ask questions.
"So be it." Zach looked at Steve and thought about it, "You know Grande was attacked, right?" Zach also pointed at Chapman who was in a daze in the backyard, "He was attacked by a vampire of unknown origin. .”
"A vampire attacked you?!" Steve was surprised. "Why are there still vampires attacking you now? Well, aren't you already a member of that Sabbat?"
So Steve knew something, probably from the Indian gathering in Baisbela, but he didn't know much.
There was a smile on Zach's lips, "Do you want to know? I can give you a detailed explanation of the division of vampire forces."
"Uh, no!" He refused simply and continued to think, "What do you mean? Was it because of me that you were attacked?" With an annoyed look on his face, "Did I sell my identity to some unknown vampire?! "
Now that Steve had understood, Zach didn't sugarcoat it, "Yes, it has been confirmed. Three vampires with legal identities bought the identity from you to a vampire who is probably hiding in Barton now."
Steve covered his face, and after an extremely resentful sigh appeared, the face that was revealed after putting down his hands was expressionless, "You need to be more specific. I can't tell whether my client is a vampire. Time, appearance , tell me what you know, and I’ll go back and find it for you.”
Zach patted Steve for comfort, "The person who made the transaction was very fat and a vampire of Zmich blood. There were three of them before Grande was attacked. Their identities should be from the North... " Zach described the appearance of the three Zmich, but it was probably useless. The appearance of Zmich can be easily changed. The guy who can move his heart at will. Everyone thinks that he can just make his eyes wider, have a straighter nose, and be plump. Is it difficult to open your lips? "Sorry, I don't have much information to give you."
Steve looked like he already had some idea, "That's enough." He already said goodbye, "I'll call you if I have news."
Speaking of which, Steve came here, but the questions he needed to answer were not answered, and he even returned with a troublesome task.
There are two guests left. Leo and Madison looked at each other, and Madison made a rare gesture of politeness. Leo is on.
"You can just say it on the phone." Zach looked at Leo who had not changed at all. This is a creature that never changes. A stone that has no interaction with this world, remember.
"I won't say anything about my belief system on the phone!" Leo was unusually determined, and it wasn't that he was insisting on anything. "If you want to ask me about my belief system, let me see your sincerity! Your respect!"
"Do I need to kill a few animals to perform a sacrificial ceremony?" Zach was just sarcastic. A fallen belief system demands respect from vampires in today's belief system? Don't you think this is a bit funny? Zach waved his hand, "You should care more about this matter than me. As far as I know, things like Ban Lin should no longer exist. After all, you are here, in this world. I still told you Besides, are there any living guards of Purgatory outside?"
"I do care." Leo was answering Zach, but he kept glancing at Madison, looking like he didn't want to talk about these things when Madison was there, "So I'm here. Can we talk somewhere else."
Zach also looked at Madison, "Why, are you afraid that he will write down the secrets of your faith?" Zach, you are right.
Leo twitched his lips, "Forget it." Leo gave up on his own. He should also understand that if Madison, who has already written so much, wants to write, nothing can stop him, "Ban Lin." He faced Zach again. , "It does no longer exist. But it has nothing to do with me or the guards of Purgatory!"
"How do you say that?" According to Zach's knowledge, Ban Lin is a foreign race born after a deal with Purgatory. Purgatory no longer exists, and all the trading partners have disappeared. So of course Ban Lin should have no chance of being born.
"The only requirement for Ban Lin's existence is to kill." Leo obviously had a sad face that he didn't want to say but could only say, "Killing one person means you can have a body and live one more day in this world." He glanced at Zach and said, "Don't expect me to tell you the reason. Even if I tell you, you won't understand it even with your understanding of the world."
Zach pursed his lips in acceptance. There is nothing to lose if you don’t understand the belief system that has been eliminated.
"So theoretically, if a Banlin keeps killing, he can maintain his lust in this world and gain eternal life."
Zach raised an eyebrow. Isn't this an extreme version of a vampire? The Holy Lord gave vampires a limit. The blood of the dead is the poison of vampires. As a result, even if a vampire kills, it will not be out of necessity for survival, giving the vampire the choice to kill. You can kill or not, it depends on your preference.
However, according to Leo's description, even in the ancient times, Ban Lin's life must have been very difficult. It would be too difficult for a creature like this that must kill to survive to live forever.
"Do you think Ban Lin's deal was with Purgatory and me? This is the self-righteous slander of you idiots who believe in the Holy Lord!" Leo was a little excited, "Why should I make such a deal with a dead human being?" ? Why do I care whether humans want to continue to exist in this world? I don’t! My job is to guard purgatory, not to watch human life! I don’t care about human life or death, so why should I give a dead human being the possibility to continue to exist!"
Zach decided not to care about the 'idiot'. Zach had only lived for four centuries anyway. Those ancient knowledge were taught by others and not studied by Zach himself. How about Zach being a victim too? Toledo's answer Is the understanding of facts very transcendent~
Instead, "Isn't that Ban Lin created by your belief system?"
"Uh, no! We didn't make anything!" Leo looked at Madison, who had already pricked up his ears, alertly. Leo had to forcefully adjust his emotions with an ugly face, and lowered his voice slightly, "Just like the current soul aliens, shadow people, phantom people... In order to avoid going to heaven and hell in your belief system, or the complete disappearance of witchcraft beliefs. Death. In order to escape from the final destination set by faith for the current era, people have opened up their own path to continue to exist!" Leo glared at Zach, "Can you keep up! The purgatory of the past is equivalent to what you are now. Hell and heaven! The destination after death!”
How could he not keep up? Didn't Toby, the guy who was supposed to go to heaven, just become a shadow man and continue to stay in this world? Although Toby was 'harmed' by Jackson, everyone can understand the meaning.
"So there's no deal?" Zach raised his eyebrows, and he didn't blame Leo for calling the disseminators of knowledge idiots. It sounds like Ban Lin is equivalent to most alien souls today, souls who do not belong to the belief system. They are far different from the aliens they became through trading with faith.
"No! It has nothing to do with my belief system! Ban Lin became Ban Lin, it was their own path!"
"What exactly is Banlin? Is it a foreign race of souls? Or is it someone like me, Harrison, and the shapechangers who don't have souls..."
was interrupted. "Don't use the framework of your faith to trap us! Zach!" Leo became excited again, "Don't you know what your Holy Lord's faith is like! Not all faiths care about that broken soul!"
What
Uh, is this like a witchcraft belief mocking the Holy Lord? Is the Holy Lord a thief who steals souls from this world? So because the Holy Lord believes that he only cares about souls, he classifies all creatures in the world according to whether their souls are useful
yes!
"It has nothing to do with the souls you care about! Our faith never treats any living thing separately! Humans are human beings! It is not the combination of flesh and soul! Human survival is the survival of the whole, and the death of human beings is the whole. die!"
"Oh." Zach was a little indifferent.
"Tsk!" Leo shook his head and controlled his emotions again, "You want to know what Banlin is? Okay! Listen clearly! Answer my question, will the person who died yesterday still exist today?"
"No." Zach said matter-of-factly, "Because he died yesterday. And you obviously don't count the Earthbinder as existing." As I just said, don't take it apart, right? Although Zach is aloof, he is eager to learn.
"Very good. Then let me continue to ask you, there were 100 people in the world yesterday, and one died. How many people are there in the world today?"
"99." Zach was inexplicably distracted. Toledo's bad habit, hearing such imbecile words during a conversation, was a bit...
"Very good! Then continue! In today's world where there are only 99 people in reality, what should we do if the person who died yesterday wants to exist?!"
Zach had to pull back his wandering thoughts, frowned, and thought for a while, "Kill one of the 99 people and replace him." After all, the topic we are talking about now is Ban Lin, isn't it
"Very good. You're not stupid." Leo looked at Zach, "Now do you know what Banlin is."
Zach still shook his head, "This is a very interesting theory, but no." Zach also looked at Leo, "Every moment, people die and people are born in this world. Kindergarten additions and subtractions like yours The law of substitution simply cannot serve as an absolute limit to this world.”
"Can't you add or subtract? What about time?" Leo looked at Zach, "You were trapped in that soul-expanding time loop. You know the feeling of time being infinitely stopped in a range and unable to move forward." There is no any The tone was redundant, purely serious, "You tell me, is the law of time enough to limit the world? Time allows you to only exist in the last second, can you transcend into this second, vampire."
Zach opened his mouth, looked at Leo, and closed it. Open your mouth again, close it again.
Leo looked away and said contemptuously, "I told you, you don't understand."
Zach need not admit that the current topic is not how immortal vampires feel about time, but "Ban Lin is a person who survives in the time that constantly replaces the next interval, and a creature that continues to exist."
Leo gave the acquiescence.
It doesn’t matter whether Zach understands or not, it does not affect the conclusion. After Zak thought for a moment, he said, "So the expansion of the soul caused by Ban Lin created that continuous cycle of time."
"That's what it looks like." Leo seemed to sigh and shook his head, "You don't need to ask me about the rest. I don't know. At least when I was guarding Purgatory, I never heard of Ban Lin creating a closed prison in this world. Time fragments. If you want to know how those Ban Lins did it, count on the research of Si Bella and Rimel." Looking at Zach, "When I came, I heard from Si Bella that you designated the cause of the soul. Expansive imprint research.”
Zach now looked at Leo with great sincerity, "Are you really unable to help anymore? Any information may be useful. And the reason for Ban Lin's appearance. According to your explanation to Ban Lin, I don't think this kind of thing is It appears in large numbers in today’s era.”
Bus case, one bus of Ban Lin. Isn't that a lot
There was an obvious look on Leo's face that he didn't want to say more, but he still replied to Zach, "Ban Lin appeared in Zmich's body. This is the category of your vampires, just like I have trouble explaining to you Ban Lin. , you explain to me why there is someone in Zmich's body, I probably can't understand it. If you really want to understand everything, send everything you know to Sibella, anyway, now, no matter if I am willing or not, I can't understand it. Please stay over there and help..."
Before Leo could finish speaking, Zach had already started bleeding, "All the information sent by Hamilton... wait a minute." Zach started bleeding again and repeated, "All the information sent by Hamilton. You'd better hurry up. Take it back, the information won't last long, I'm just a Toledo."
Nothing special, Zach just remembered the trade to get rid of Zmich.
Leo also left, leaving only Madison.
"The manuscript you found at Pixar's house was from West!"
Zach just walked over without saying a few words.
"And then I don't know what's going on with Pixar, I barely know the guy! There's no point in asking me!"
Zach tilted his head, uh, Madison's prediction of the future happened again
"I'm staying in Grande for a few days!"
What
"Don't ask me why!" Madison pulled off his hat and showed Zach his colorful curly hair, "Please promise me!! Please!!"
Zach then walked up to Madison and said, "Uh, okay."
