James felt a change in the vampire in front of him, but he couldn't tell what it was... The skin was a little smoother? Maybe it was the feeling after the other person's body became more generous, but, recalling that when the other person was thin, his skin was not wrinkled. Vertex 23S. Fastest update
"It's too late." The vampire suddenly stopped and turned towards the dark alley beside him.
The policeman's instinct was to tell James not to continue following, but 'James' was bigger than the policeman. He followed and stepped into an alley forgotten by the neon lights of Beqi District.
The cold dampness foreshadowed something, and James had begun to smell a kind of... blood? no. When a person sticks to the wall in a sticky state, the smell of blood is definitely not the main part.
The remnants of soul expansion, James had seen many times. Of course, photos used as evidence account for an overwhelming number of times. This first-hand scene, which was in a dark alley, undiscovered by no one, and uncontaminated, made James instinctively want to get closer and investigate.
"Do you want to be trapped in the cycle of time again?" James' body that had just stepped forward was pulled back.
There is a very harsh word, 'again'.
Before James could ask, the vampire had already stepped forward and raised his slightly generous hand. Something seemed to have changed. Was it whiter? uncertain. After touching the residue on the wall, nothing special seemed to happen, but, "It's okay. You can do whatever you want." He said to James.
James stepped forward with a gloomy expression. If it is his own clothes, due to the professional needs of the police, some common tools for evidence collection will be prepared on him, such as gloves, evidence collection tapes and the like. But James obviously has nothing now. He awkwardly pulled on his ill-fitting sleeves, covered them with his hands and touched the wall.
Even through the cloth, the touch is still uncomfortable...
"Did you find something?" The vampire behind him was mocking.
James's face became even more gloomy, looking at the dirt on his sleeves, "Who is he?!"
"Oh, how do I know?"
"You knew soul expansion would happen here! Don't you know who this person is?!"
"I was just waiting for you to wake up, and I felt the breath of my descendant staying in this area for a while." He was extremely fake and alert, "Oh, did I miss something?"
If this vampire was Zach, James would have probably scolded him, "Don't think that I am completely unaware of you! I don't know you, so you are not Barton's vampire! Physical transformation is Zmich's ability, but you are absolutely Not the Sabbat's Zmich! Of the three Sabbat's Zmich, one was exchanged and two were killed by Alpha! The Sabbat can't send people here to cause trouble at this time! You are the Zmich from the North Kingdom, right? ! The soul expansion in Barton is because of you!!" Such a confirming question was just for James' next question. Naturally, the other party needs to confirm before you can continue.
"How do you talk?" The vampire was unexpectedly offended. "What do you mean by a vampire from the North? Does that purely human colonial country deserve to have creatures like us at the top of the biological chain?"
James was stunned for a moment, but immediately, he was not ready to accept the history lesson now, "Don't interrupt! You are Zimich from the North! What on earth do you want to do in Barton?!" James meant to threaten, he had two Choice, because in the current environment of Barton, both Sabbat and Zac are looking for the Zmich from the North Kingdom. One is considered to be the largest alien group in the Federation, and the other is the Emperor of Barton. They are both guys that the foreign Zmich should be afraid of. But when he said it, James' head got stuck and his tongue curled up, "You won't succeed! Zark will stop you!"
"Who is Zark?" The vampire was very aware of James' short-circuit and chuckled, "Forget it. After reading those Madison's manuscripts and this journey with you, I think I already know you very well. . Why not, let’s exchange.”
The vampire leaned against the wall. In this tranquility spread by sticky things, it was really a 'perfect' communication space. "You tell me what you want to know, and I'll tell you something. Is it fair?" The trap has been laid. First Not to mention that there is no fairness between vampires and humans. Note that the vampire did not promise to tell James what James wanted to know.
Without giving James time to respond, "The self-destruction in Mary's Church has been reported on your news for two days. No offense to you, but your media in Barton really has no literacy at all. I haven't seen any self-destruction by Ban Lin in the news." Traces of it. You are a police detective, tell me what happened in Mary Church."
There was resistance in James's heart, but it was meaningless, "Why don't you go see it yourself!"
"I went, but I was disturbed by a little thing. There are demons who have stepped up their guard, and I have no hope of getting closer."
"You are the guy who attacked Madison!!" James is quite smart. Then there was fear, and his voice was shaking, as it should be, "Zach, Zach saw you, but, he doesn't know what you are!!"
"It's the same here. If I hadn't seen that unforgettable face, I wouldn't have known who he was." The vampire waved his hands, as if he didn't want to talk about it. "It made me confused for a while at first. Fortunately, Maddie There are stories in Sen's manuscripts about him practicing Toledo's impostor abilities." He looked at James with a malicious smile.
I hope everyone can have a premonition of what the vampire will say next.
"Your first love, Miss Georgina."
James' face twitched. But he was still trying to maintain his sanity, "Eli..." He stared gloomily at the vampire with a malicious smile, "Is this why you didn't let Zach sense it! You also have Eli's ability to control blood!"
The vampire didn't respond directly, which can be taken as acquiescence, "Speaking of which, I'm curious, have you read Madison's manuscript?"
"I don't want to watch!" He ended the interruption directly. But James is telling the truth. Is it understandable? He, a naive guy who is worried about his own safety, is going to ask again for the remarks he made to the aliens in Barton, "So you are the second generation Zmich! Zach said , except for Eli, other vampires can master the sensory shielding of blood control, but the vampire's bloodline suppression is still there! You can't sense each other, so you must be a second-generation vampire!" James' reason is still of some use.
The vampire probably didn't expect James's performance. He frowned, the smile on his lips disappeared, and his eyes became darker. Something bad is going to happen
"I advise you to read Madison's manuscript. About your first love Georgina, her death..."
"I said it! Don't change the subject!" James rose up once, but if humans rise again, they will still be humans.
The vampire didn't care about James' reaction at all, "Everyone has lied to you. What's interesting is that Madison's manuscript contains the conclusion that the benefits of deceiving you are greater than telling you the truth, so no one will tell you what really happened."
To digress, just two days ago, Zach complained about Madison, an author who doesn't stand for his protagonist. But who said Madison didn't stand, right
return.
James' eyes widened and his breathing became heavier, "What did you say?!"
"Why are you asking me?" Sovereignty returned to the vampire again, "Humph, wouldn't it be better for you to ask yourself." James stretched out his hand and turned around to leave... no, he was running, "It's my turn, Mary Church .”
"It's fake!!" James' voice was uncontrollably loud, and he tried his best to get rid of the restraints that held him.
"False? Why?" No matter how fiercely James struggled at the other end of his arm, he didn't move at all.
"Why don't you read Madison's book! Isn't it written in it?!"
"No, the story in the book hasn't progressed there yet."
Is James in the mood to explain to this vampire at this moment that Mary Church faked self-destruction driven by Barton's political interests? No, “Let me go!!”
Without moving at all, he said, "Okay. If it's fake, it's fake. I don't have to be confused." James on the other end of his arm felt like he was about to fall apart. "It's not over yet. I don't understand the police's search operation yesterday. Whether it's the police I don’t understand the reason for searching that place because of the self-destruction case, or the result of the search. But." He raised his eyebrows, "Since you were caught by my descendants halfway, your police must have found something on the right path."
"let me go… "
The vampire's eyes turned red.
James bowed his head quickly. To be honest, it doesn't make much sense.
"Why bother? Answer the question and I'll let you go. After all, I saved your life. There's no need for us to be so ugly, right?"
The struggle stopped. Speaking of which, after James heard the other party's "I spent a day putting you together" before, he didn't dare to ask what happened. Now, it seems that he is back here.
"What do you want to know!!" James gritted his teeth. Only this kind of behavior can express one's emotions.
"First, the reason for the police search."
"The owner of that house is from the North! He killed one of the 'General's' men with a self-destruction! Our people (Coulson, 'The General') used the list of immigrants from the North to find his residence in Patton!"
This answer seemed to answer some of the vampire's questions, "You just said that I am Zmich from the North Kingdom. I understand, so now the police in Barton, well, I think it should include the vampires of the Sabbat and..." There is no reason. paused, "Zach, you should already know the clue about the North Country. Well, that's correct. My descendants are probably anxious, please keep up the good work." Inexplicable encouragement, and then continued, "Then what you have randomly checked, What happened to those hunters’ weapons?”
"I don't know!" Truth.
The vampire looked at James for a while and nodded, "Well, that explains why you refused to answer the question and were absorbed by my descendants."
James's body shuddered. Remember that soft-as-cotton dream
This move was a bit big, and the vampire noticed it, and said deliberately, "If I had taken one step later, you would have been 'decomposed' and turned into Ban Lin who was no longer able to survive in this world." He continued deliberately, "Haha , all that is waiting for you is, poof." Exploded.
The trembling body became tense.
The vampire's hand has loosened his grip, "You can go."
James stood there for a while, and then the vampire took the first step and crossed James' stiff body, "If you don't leave, I'll leave."
"Wait a minute! Who are you!"
"Are you persistent?" He turned around and commented, "You don't know him anyway, so why are you asking? Isn't that enough for a second-generation Tsimich who doesn't belong to the Sabbat?" He left.
…
No one would think that this narrative, which is divorced from the perspective of the protagonist Zach, is the mysterious vampire. It must be James, who is basically half of the protagonist of this book.
But since the only thing James is doing now is rushing to seek the truth about Georgina's death, there is no need to write it out, so let's return to the protagonist.
Maya is pointing at Zach's nose.
"Impossible! I don't believe it! I don't believe it!!"
The girl from Grande is home from school. It doesn't stop once I get home.
The reason is simple. After Mike left, Zach and Sam discussed sending a message to Papa Midnight. Instead of going to find his neighbor Pochi on Mike's behalf, it would be better to summon Papa Midnight in Grande.
Believe me, this is a difficult decision to make.
But the fact is that Zach has too many questions, and Papa needs to answer them at midnight. Of course, Zach wouldn't expect Papa Midnight to answer either. Then considering the special nature of the Banshee, whether it is in Grande Alice, Maya, or the black witches in Newton, it is more reasonable to control things within the scope of Grande. There's no need to give Porchi any reason to worry about it, right
So, when the two girls returned home, it was up to the two young banshees to complete the feat of bringing their ancestor home.
The two girls came back a little late. One thing that everyone has not forgotten is that as a need for the future of Grande, the final project of high school students is the restoration of Indian burials. The two girls and their own small group went around Barton after school. They went to the West End and asked Mrs. Quinn to look through some classics that no one knew were true or false. They went to Pai Siying, but did not find Sibella. I visited the neighborhoods of Indian parallel import wizards and collected a bunch of so-called 'Indian traditional artifacts' collected by these wizards who had been abandoned by their families.
I won’t say whether it has any effect on the project. Anyway, it was filled with little pink trunks, and I returned home with a full load of Indian roots.
As soon as he came back, the vampires named Zachary and Toledo said the following with a serious face, "I'm back, okay, I have something to discuss with you. Alice, uh, don't go, it's important business (Ai Li) Si is still mad at Zach). The ancestor of the banshee, your first generation, is in hell, the hell controlled by Barton. She needs Papa to pick her back at midnight... "
Our protagonist hasn’t even finished speaking.
Maya went crazy, "Impossible! I don't believe it!! How could our God be in the world where your Holy Lord believes! I don't believe it, I don't believe it!!"
