Dale is seasick. Vertex 23S. The fastest update and this was the first time in his life that he found himself seasick.
For two days, he was unable to leave his room. His time was constantly switching back and forth between vomiting, sleeping, vomiting, supplementing the content of vomiting, vomiting...
"I should go take a look, James." Wes, who couldn't speak clearly because of the cold on the deck, excused himself.
James hasn't left his room in the past two days. No, when Zach went out for a walk last night, he saw James dazed on the deck holding a life jacket. He silently changed the direction of the walk and walked over again. James was gone by then.
Oh, I wonder what James was doing on the deck at midnight in the freezing cold sea. Patience~
"Damn it Jack! Do you want to film it or not! I'm freezing to death!!"
Not far from Zach, there was a girl, about Alice's age, with both arms exposed, holding on to the guardrail that was no different from a popsicle, letting the gauze-like ceremony sway in the sea breeze. She used her last bit of energy to create a satisfactory look, but her partner still didn't press the shutter button.
Zach smiled, shook his head, and looked away, ah! Zach was startled and looked at Dale who had come to him at some point, "*! You scared me!"
Dale looked at Zach with a pale face, "I scared you." Don't look at it as a statement, this is a question!
Zach pouted, "Your heart is like an old man who's dying."
"Yeah, I feel that way too." Dale almost curled up next to Zach, his pale lips slightly opened, and he breathed a weak breath towards Zach.
"Uh." Zach shook his head and handed Dale a bottle of snacks. "This won't make you 'cure'. It's not a disease. But it can make you feel better." You all know what this is, Zach's Blood.
Dell picked it up quickly, but held it in his hand with no intention of using it.
"Damn it Jimmy!! Press the shutter!!"
The girl's voice slightly attracted their attention.
Zach looked over there again, his smile appeared again, and he shook his head the same way, turning his gaze back to Dell who carefully put the bottle of blood into his chest pocket.
Dale noticed that Zach noticed his little antics. Without any embarrassment, change the subject, "What's going on over there?"
Zach made it possible for Dale, "The high school student is enjoying his last high school vacation."
"How do you know?" Dale was obviously stalling for time to come up with something that could actually be discussed.
"That's what I heard." Zach shrugged and continued, "The whole grade raised money to plan a trip for one semester. That Jimmy is the photographer of the school magazine." Zach pointed at the one who still hesitated to click the shutter. The skinny high school student said, "That girl is his partner. They decided to come out and enjoy their own travel time while everyone is hiding in the boat to enjoy the warmth and they are not required to work."
Dale probably wasn't listening. But Zach continued, "But as you can see, the girl has some little thoughts of her own. Unfortunately, this Jimmy didn't realize it at all, and used his 'professionalism' to completely wear away a girl's patience." This is Zach. That's why I'm smiling.
Finally, the flash came on.
Zach didn't make it obvious, but his eyes were chasing that direction. The girl pulled hard on the hem of her skirt that was floating in the air a moment ago, and rushed back to the cabin against the wind, "Stupid pig! Stupid pig! Boys are all stupid!!"
Poor Jimmy was left asking, "Wait a minute, where are you going? I think you moved at the end! I didn't get a clear picture of your face..."
"idiot!!!"
Zach looked away with a satisfied smile, "Young days~"
"You also have this kind of time?" Dale seemed to have thought of a topic that could be discussed.
"Me? No, I don't remember." Zach answered simply, still smiling, "Actually, you don't have to deliberately find a topic." Zach looked around the deck where even Jimmy was walking back with a camera in his arms. , the only passengers still here are Zach and Dale, "If you continue to stay here, you will really get sick. Haha, you and I both prefer that my blood be used in more necessary situations, right? .”
Dale was no longer polite, nodded, turned around and left.
Turning around briefly, "Then what are you doing outside?"
"There's a familiar face worth spending some time with," Zach replied.
"Who?" Dale glanced around, but there was no one.
Zach's arm extended beyond the guardrail, pointing down.
Dell didn't understand, but knew that this was 'knowledge' that he was too busy to learn, so he walked away without saying anything. Speaking of which, Dale's original intention to come out this time was not to deceive Zach into a bottle of blood. He came to 'share' James' concerns about the mental condition of his traveling companion. But he couldn't stay out any longer, he didn't want to puke all over Zach.
Not to mention Dell. Said a familiar face in Zach's mouth
Zach leaned against the guardrail again and watched the gray-black steel hull go all the way down. A face emerged from the waves that were constantly pushing and rolling. Only his face remained at the point where Zach lowered his gaze, and everything else was under the surging water.
Beautiful faces, "Familiar faces? You don't even remember our names, vampires." Sirens.
"You are Boysen's subordinates, and then Sibera's experiment." Zach's tone was very relaxed, "I have no reason to remember your names one by one."
"Okay, that makes sense. But at least you should remember me." This beautiful female... creature, let's be professional, there are no males in Sirens, one collective name is enough to represent them all, "I help your descendants' General 'Resurrected his vengeful companion. You remember the name of the demon who brought back the soul, Mike, right. Then you should also remember the other half of this credit, my name."
"That's you?" Zach asked, looking genuinely surprised, "Don't be offended, but you look different than you did then."
The face that had remained under Zack's sight in the constantly jostling and rolling waters disappeared. But soon, this face appeared again, "What now?"
Zach looked at the face with a piece of seaweed stuck on the upper lip in amusement, "Now I have a bit of an impression."
Although I really don't want to draw this conclusion, these two inhuman creatures are flirting. Have you noticed that these two guys are reminiscing about the intersection of Barton and the time when the Siren turned into a male due to Boyson's control
"Is it just a little impression?" The seaweed on his lips was removed, and the face began to rotate in the sea water. You can vaguely see white arms skimming the water, picking up a splash or two from time to time.
"Haha, you know what~" Zach leaned against the guardrail very relaxedly, "Although I really enjoy this little change in this boring voyage, I'm sorry, don't make any plans for this ship, unless you want to compare the two of you. Which one is more important, the breath of life or my eternal life..." Zach raised his eyebrows, "Absolutely."
Haili's face stopped rotating, and his voice became as cold as the sea, "This is not a continent, don't think too highly of yourself, vampire."
"You can try." Zach's eyes were covered in red, but the face in his sight had disappeared.
The redness in Zach's eyes faded, and he shrugged and stood up straight. Now, there is no need to stay outside anymore, let’s go back~
It was lunch time, and Zach had no intention of going to the restaurant to ask for trouble. Going back to the room and sharing the same room with Dell felt like it would be an awkward situation again, so he might as well forget it. Go see James and Wes.
It was necessary to tell James that his negotiations with the Siren had not yet concluded.
right. That's why James showed up on deck in the middle of the night. This guy was seduced by the siren's song. Don't complain about James yet, he is not alone. Zach went out for a walk at night with red eyes, letting every passenger who left his warm bed go back to dreaming, except for James who had already gone back by himself after walking around.
In the narrow corridor of the guest cabin, Zach was walking unsteadily, and he could clearly feel the vibrations of the ship's hull. Zach shook his head helplessly, 'childish'
If those sea monsters really caused any catastrophic accident, this sea area would be considered useless. It can be expected that a large number of rescue teams will flock here in the previous week, followed by salvage and insurance investigations that will last for at least two months. Finally, it may be an indefinite re-planning of the channel. It depends entirely on whether human society can give a reasonable explanation for the accident. …
Just like Zach's judgment, this childish venting didn't last long before it stabilized. Zach was able to move on smoothly.
But soon, Zach's progress was interrupted. Before a turn in the aisle, Zach stopped and leaned against the wall.
"Ha! Look at her! What is this? Is it her prom dress next year? Is it ready now~"
Different voices, both men and women.
"Ha, who are you showing it to, your boyfriend? Do you have one?"
"Isn't it a bit too early to wear it now?"
"Wait a minute~ Is she wearing makeup~ Oh! Don't cry~ You will spend your eyeliner~"
Accompanied by the sound of pushing. It was very obvious that a person's body was constantly colliding with the wall. And with the vampire's keen hearing, the collision was skin directly touching the wall.
"I said it! Don't* cry! Oh my God! She makes me so angry!"
"Playing the victim, isn't she always like this? Look at those tearful eyes! Do you miss your mommy?! Huh? Or your boyfriend!?"
Zach turned his head and Jimmy came from behind, still holding the camera.
Zach and Jimmy, who probably didn't recognize him at all, looked at each other. After a brief pause, Jimmy began to stride forward.
Zach frowned, and all he could do was take the camera that must have looked very expensive from Jimmy's hand when he passed him. Then he pursed his lips and watched Jimmy cross the bend in the aisle.
Zach held the camera and stood quietly, listening to the... well, events that happened around the corner.
'oh. This will definitely hurt a lot. Poor Jimmy. '
Ten seconds passed.
'Are all high school students today like this? They are regressing, they are regressing. '
Another ten seconds passed.
"That's enough." Zach finally turned the corner, "Smile." Pressed the shutter, "Now, which one of you can tell me where your travel consultant's room is?"
"This is not over!!"
Zach looked at a group of boys and girls pushing and retreating in the narrow aisle, which could be said to be quite inefficient. He shook his head and walked towards the two people who were still there.
The girl, who seemed to be uninjured except for the fact that her makeup was completely gone, sat slumped on the ground and sobbed silently. The dress was completely ruined. Jimmy, oh, poor Jimmy. Zach took off his coat, covered the girl, and then pulled up the thin boy, "Are you okay?"
"Thank you, first, sir."
"You're welcome." Zach returned the camera, "Do you know what to do next?"
"I-I don't know. Ouch!"
Zach changed his position to help Jimmy, who should be in pain everywhere, and just gave a friendly reminder, "We are on a ship, you need to think of a solution." For an adult passerby, this is interesting enough, " There is no place to hide here, you know what I’m saying.”
But as soon as Zach said it, he regretted it. Because the original meaning of this sentence is to give Jimmy, who chose a bad way to face the conflict the first time, a warning, and there is an audience.
The girl subconsciously tightened Zach's coat. The phrase Zach used was 'no place to hide', right? Do we need to analyze the girl's brain circuit here? No, there shouldn't be any ridicule here.
Zach wanted to say something to make amends, but there was no chance.
A door on this corridor opened, and the stranger who was late for who knew how long asked, "What's going on outside!" He glanced at the situation in the corridor impatiently, "*! I want to call the security!"
Judging from the other party's expression, Zach suspected that the other party regarded him as the villain who caused all this. But what happened before Zach's self-justification happened was the girl, "No! No, no! Jimmy! Let's get out of here! Please!"
"Okay!" Jimmy pulled the girl up and gave Zach an indescribable expression. When he looked away, he said, "Thank you." He walked in the same direction.
Zach stood there for a while, curled his lips, forget it, he was just a passerby anyway, it was already interesting enough, wasn't it
I'm not in the mood to see James anymore, so go back to your room.
Still on this road, passed by the room of the stranger who was calling the security guard. Eyes red.
One size fits all, and to Jimmy and the girls, Zach is a passerby. Zach was the party involved in this late arrival of a stranger who had clearly misunderstood the facts.
"Say sorry, you saw it wrong, nothing happened, and then hang up." The most basic application of Charming Eyes. In this case, it is enough.
"Oh, sorry, I saw it wrong, nothing happened." Hang up.
Zach nodded and looked away. If Dell still looks awkward after returning to the room, let's talk about this episode.
Didn't Dale want to confirm his own way of survival around the alien races by understanding those alien races that have always been in this world? Everyone should have noticed this. And this episode will allow Dell to understand Zach better. Yes, humans, not vampires.
From the Earthbinder Berg who made a promise to the angels, to the fact that aliens must have any part of humanity's worldview in order to live among humans, to this episode. When Dell 'conversed' with his dear diary again, Zack's persona could change from the accurate vampire a beginner needs to a human being.
