Almost instantly, countless flashes of light appeared around Zach, and the light and shadow that didn't know where happened were contained by these flashes and thrown here. Vertex 23S. The fastest update is a bit like a TV. Can you imagine that the frame and screen of the TV are all removed, leaving only the playing screen... This feeling.
I remember when we talked about Nophele's ability, we mentioned that Nophele's control over shadows is actually just borrowing a part of the place that has not been illuminated by light, shadow, right? So, it’s not surprising that the place where the sun shines is borrowed, right
The image of Lutrecenbra being illuminated was transmitted to Zach. From all aspects, Root's front face, Root's side face, the back of Root's head...
In the picture, he gestured to Nick, who was almost embedded in Zach's body.
"What!" Nick shouted at the picture.
Root moved his mouth in the picture, obviously saying something, but Revro's borrowed light was obviously not responsible for transmitting the sound. Who knows what he said.
Then, these flashes of light rushed down the balcony, one after another surrounding Cappadocia, who was still tensing his body below. Same gesture, withdraw.
Then, everyone, light and shadow, disappeared. Zach was the only one left on the balcony. Oh, and there’s a camera on Zach recording it all.
"What just happened?" the young dog brother asked.
Zach straightened out the wrinkled clothes that Nick was 'hugging', and looked under the balcony. Cappadocia had disappeared, "I guess my protection has been terminated."
"Where did Nick go?" Goudi's camera panned around.
Zach pointed in the direction, "While running, I was left behind." Giovanni was the slowest clan among the thirteen clans.
"He left too?" Gou Di was just confirming.
"Obviously." Zach raised his eyebrows and left the balcony to go back to the house. He seemed to be looking around the room aimlessly. "The surveillance on me seems to be..."
"Refroe left too."
Ha, the Cappadocia housekeeper who never said a word, he has spoken!
This guy had already put on a coat that he was clearly going out for, and he was carrying a suitcase in his right hand. He looked at Zach, "There is a difference between the light that Revro is paying attention to and the ordinary light that only Revro can detect. .”
Zach smiled at the butler who seemed to be saying goodbye to judge by his attire, "And you were once Refro. Do you still retain the ability to judge in this regard?"
"It's not as absolute as before, but the feeling is right. They have all left." He lowered his head and raised the brim of his hat, "Now, I have to leave too."
"Lesembra doesn't even leave me a butler?" Zach laughed and shook his head.
The butler stopped responding and turned around with his suitcase.
"Just curious, if I really summoned Cappadocia to come with me, would you come with me?"
After the butler's footsteps stopped for a moment, he landed normally and continued to leave. "Yes." disappeared.
So far. Zach is in the Sabbat, free.
I don’t know how long this freedom will last. So, hurry up.
"where are we going?"
"Hospital."
"What to do?"
This conversation happened while Zach was pushing his dog brother into the car.
"Look for General Lance."
"What are you looking for?? Wait a minute, I need that spare battery!"
…
The next conversation took place as Zach took the wheel and controlled the several-ton iron sheet driving through Vega City.
"I, I didn't understand... You mean this is something that Lesembra asked the clan to investigate at the Sabbat meeting?"
"Yes."
"You made it clear in front of them that you would not help them, but now they no longer protect you (Cappadocia's departure), monitor (Revero's departure) you, or even... When you were friends (Nick also left), you took the initiative to help?”
Zach was very satisfied with Dog Brother's statement of facts, "Yes~"
"Why?? Who are you doing it for??"
"Haha, myself~"
…
Next, the scene did not change much. Zach was still at the wheel, driving in Vega City.
"You're lost." Gou Di pointed out the reality without mercy.
"I didn't." Zach slowed down before the intersection, looked ahead, left, and right, and finally chose to go straight.
The dog brother deliberately waited until Zach had passed the intersection. "You are definitely lost. The hospital is in that direction." Pointing to the left turn that Zach missed.
Zach glanced at Brother Dog, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"When the judgment becomes reality, you can't argue with it." Goudi looked at Zach and answered matter-of-factly.
Zach had a kind face, "Oh, little dog brother, grow up quickly~"
Zach, love this Descendant pre-order~
…
The scene remains unchanged, Zach is still controlling the steering wheel, but don't worry, Zach is steadily approaching his destination.
"... That's why we take those 'parent' things." This conversation has been going on for a while, and Goudi shrugged, "I guess my definition of 'mine' is different from their definition of 'mine'. no the same."
No need to repeat, just summarize
Gou Di explained the reason why he was constantly being returned to foster families: every time he was sent to a family, at first, the parents would be very... well, polite, or in other words, trying to be a good parent and tell Gou Di, 'This is you. Our home is yours. '
In fact, this is understandable. Orphans in the system will not have anything of their own. The meaning of being adopted is that the orphan becomes a member of the family and has something of his own. Those parents say this just to make the new children feel like they belong more quickly.
Then. Dog Brother really regards everything he can touch as his own.
"I've never quite understood some things." Dog Brother continued. This topic was brought up by Zach and he expressed his love. It is necessary to understand how Dog Brother grew up like this and "Why were those who were successfully adopted in the past?" None of the children came back. They got their parents and the things their parents gave them, and they forgot about their original 'home' and there were a bunch of children who had nothing."
Zach "So you take your 'parents' things and give them to your friends who are orphans."
"Yes." Dog Brother affirmed, and added, "It was like this at first, and then, I was just taking revenge."
"revenge?"
"Well. I began to realize that every 'parent' would deliberately prevent me from intersecting with my past life. I understand that they don't want me to continue to remember that I did not belong to this family. But this is what they want, not I think. So, when they stopped me, I retaliated." Gou Di curled his lips, "In the past, I just occasionally took some toys and gave them to my former friends. After that, I just took watches, wallets, cosmetics..." Read Eyes Zach, "What could possibly annoy parents who say it's all mine while restricting my freedom to use things that belong to me."
"These." Zach raised a finger, "These are the behaviors you need to grow up and realize that you are childish and no longer do it ~ typical pre-adult rebellion ~"
"I know." Dog Brother nodded.
This is a conversation in which both parties reached a wonderful consensus ~
…
"I hate hospitals." Zach and Dog Brother were already on their way to General Lance's exclusive ward. Zach was expressing his views on hospitals, "My race should have an inherent dislike of hospitals. Can you understand?"
"Probably." Dog Brother responded, "But I don't like hospitals either."
"oh?"
"Every time you are adopted, um, no, you are considered for adoption, you have to be sent for a checkup. People who are considering adoption like to make sure that their adopted child is clean."
Zach tilted his head, "Understandable."
"It's just that sometimes you feel like you're just a piece of meat. You know, anyone can turn it over."
This is where the topic turns.
"I'm curious." Zach turned his head and looked at the dog brother, "Why do you have such an experience that you are worried about the future of mankind?"
To be honest, Dog Brother should hate human nature. His life started as an orphan, didn't it? You know, abandoned, for whatever reason.
"What about you? Have you ever been a person who grew up in a happy environment?"
Zach laughed, "Haha, no. In my era, the population exceeded the number that resources could sustain, and no matter what people did, they could not prevent it from falling into famine. Then, I was asked by a man to change a job to maintain food and clothing. of people sold.”
"Heh." Dog Brother curled his lips, "Then why are you asking me this question?"
Yes, why did Zach ask~
The steps forward were blocked by soldiers in military uniforms.
"Tell the general, I'm Zachary Grande."
No soldiers were involved.
"Tell the general that I have news about his son."
The soldiers moved.
He came back soon and took Zach to the ward. However, Goudi's camera was stuffed into the trash can.
What made Zach happy was that Brother Gou didn't say anything boring like 'you'll regret it'.
General Lance was no different from when we met before, except that Zach obviously interrupted something that was going on. Zach entered the room and a guy in military uniform went out.
"What did you hear, Toledo." General Lance didn't ask for his son's information first.
"I didn't hear anything." This is the truth. The sound insulation effect of the ward here is so good that it is so good that it is obviously a reality only created by the environment in the west.
General Lance nodded with satisfaction, "Have you found James?"
"No." Zach had no news about James, only, "The phantom I hired hasn't contacted me yet."
General Lance's face was a little strange. He looked at his dog brother who was obviously a stranger to him, and then looked at Zach, "You hired a phantom man." He repeated it to express his incredible emotion, "Human man, Aliens of souls.”
"Yes." Zach answered matter-of-factly, "It's free and easy to use."
General Lance was taking a deep breath.
There was no need for Zach to listen to General Lance's "wrong worldview" about the environment here in the West, "The soul aliens don't irritate Dell because he can't see it." There's been enough discussion about Dell's inability to adapt. No more repetition, "Similarly, it won't frighten James, haha, because James can't see it either. Do you understand what I say?"
Can. General Lance's breathing became calmer, but his expression did not improve. He did not continue to look at Zach, "You seem to know my son better than I do."
"Haha. Yes." Then he raised his hand and made a sign to stop. This means that the topic about James ends here and the main topic begins, "Vampires have begun to discover that humans are actively replacing organs. Do you have anything to explain to me?"
General Lance's expression did not change. Yes, he was a human general after all, but he only glanced at Zach and said, "I don't know what you are talking about."
"Do you want to report the number of upper-class humans who have undergone organ transplants during this period?" Zach glanced at the screen of the instrument connected to General Lance.
This well-known general has obviously not yet mastered the beating rate of his new heart. This is a joke, can you get the punchline? It is impossible for humans to control the heartbeat, so the number in Zach's eyes keeps rising.
Zach looked back at General Lance from the screen with smiling eyes, who could only control his facial expression. "Look, why bother? You are just making a joke~"
General Lance closed his eyes and thought about something, "Okay, how much do you know."
"Except for the abnormal organ transplants carried out by humans, there is nothing more." Zach once again exposed the content of the Sabbat meeting, "Lesembra's intelligence network discovered this abnormality and has assigned clan ancestors to investigate these transplants. . And you were assigned to me."
"Huh. Because of James' relationship with you?"
No need to answer, it's too obvious.
General Lance shook his head, "Not everyone wants to give up their identity as a human being and become a vampire and start immortality."
Zach glanced at Dog Brother, frowned and started thinking. It is to understand the meaning of General Lance's somewhat incomprehensible words.
In the end, it was the dog brother who understood it before Zach
"I think he wants to say that he wants to keep the reputation that humans can give him for a while longer." Dog Brother saw the gaze cast by General Lance and confirmed some of his own judgment, "After all, you You are a human general, and becoming a vampire means that you have to give up the name of 'general'."
Zach took over the conversation and looked at the general, "Are you destined to be a descendant of a certain vampire?"
"Yes, a Lesembula 4th generation."
Zach roughly understood, humans are superior to humans, and the final form of immortality is something that even vampires among vampires cannot achieve. 4th generation? Oh, it means that this general will become a fifth-generation Lesembula, the kind of cannon fodder in colonial wars. "So, this transplant is just to extend human lifespan."
"Part of it." General Lance nodded. Now that the most 'humanely unspeakable' reason has been revealed, what else is there to hide? "The other part is that now that he knows that he will use a certain method, If this state lasts forever, then, before this eternal life comes, let yourself be in the best state." Looking at Zach, "This selfishness, in the current era, there is no problem."
Zach raised his eyebrows, "No problem. Absolutely no problem."
Zach, I just realized something. Human medical development finally has some meaning for vampires~
Hey, what a pity, have you thought about it? If only Zach could come west sooner, Mrs. Queen of the old woman...
But the point had just begun, when Zach asked General Lance, "Is it just, the heart, just the beginning?"
"Yes. I will replace everything." This was the general's answer. "This is not my 'private matter'. We have a 'group', a group of people like me. We have channels, Resources, everything we need to reach our satisfying state of eternal life. This heart is just the beginning."
mean? Like Barton, situations where a donor dies and the body is hollowed out and becomes someone else's organ will continue to happen under the control of this 'group' composed of human elites.
Zach got what he needed to know.
