The atmosphere in Grande is a bit gloomy, not because of the Grande members, but because of the aura emanating from the families of the deceased. Vertex 23S. Fastest update
They temporarily waited in the reception room, waiting to see if Grande's owner could restore the body to at least a lookable state. The family wants a funeral
"We said goodbye, but we were imagining that she could hear us." These were the original words of the deceased husband. "Even at the moment of extubation, we still maintained hope that she could hear us. She might wake up. But now that we know she can't hear, we know for sure that she doesn't wake up, we need to say goodbye without fantasizing about a goodbye that she will hear. We need ceremony."
Putting aside the human emotions contained in these words, what it means to a funeral home and Grande is that the client wants a complete traditional funeral.
After seeing the body that Old Hank took back, Zach's answer was simply, "I'll try my best."
It was almost 5 a.m. when the body arrived at Grande. It was almost noon now, and Zach was still sorting out the body in the basement on the east side. Whether the funeral could be carried out depended on whether he could let this body with almost nothing left... the remnants return to What she once was when she was still human.
too difficult.
"How's it going?" Louise came down and glanced at Zach, who was standing in front of the stone platform in a daze.
Zack, who was fully armed, looked back at Louise, "I'm rebuilding her chin." He showed Louise the 'work' in his hand, which was, er, chin, "I did finish it, but, I pretended Not going up." Demonstrated to Louise:
Dragging the chin in his hand, he faced the body on the stone platform that was missing the lower half of his face. It seemed that the fit was perfect, but just after Zach let go, his chin fell down, fell into the empty neck, and was stuck between the cervical vertebrae made of metal.
Louise didn't even fully walk down the stairs, she frowned and stopped on the stairs. We understand that she is not as well-armed as Zach, and as a vampire, she does not want to get close. You can also listen to her words, "What kind of person would take away someone else's chin?"
"A powerful guy." Zach tilted his head and carefully picked up his chin... very carefully, Zach didn't want to spend hours reconstructing a collapsed skull.
Louise looked away and asked another question, "And took other people's skulls?" Louise's expression was ugly, "What do those humans in the West District want? A harder forehead? Uh, it's unbelievable. .”
Zach put down the chin in his hand, took off his gloves, and began to touch his chin. What he needs is not just the appearance, but a work that restores the skeletal structure. Zach needs a reference.
Touching oneself does not affect the communication between Zach and Louise. Zach also needs to communicate. This incident is very "sad" work, so a little adjustment is a good thing. "Huh, maybe it's true. I don't know if it's hard or not, but it's good enough..." Zach's eyes pointed at the reference photo that his family brought as a posthumous photo, regardless of the fact that it is now used as a variety of objects on the stone platform. What did it put together? She once had a very beautiful forehead. Uh, beautiful forehead, I think this is a stupid expression.
How to explain it... like this
General Lance is for a healthier heart, right. As an internal organ of the human body, there is only one criterion for humans to rate a heart: health. But what about external organs, such as skin, eyes, private parts... forget it, everyone understands. Health is no longer the only criterion, color, size, shape... beautiful or not.
After understanding that we humans have this additional criterion for judging external organs, looking at the expression "beautiful forehead" here, I think it is not as stupid as before.
If it were a little less stupid, it would feel scary.
"Isn't there that kind of surgery now, to change the appearance?" Louise was breaking down the guardrail of the stairs, and there was a buzzing sound of the metal being twisted. "Those people in the West, it is necessary to do such disgusting things..."
"Except for Zmich, who has the ability to heal foreign objects in the body, no other vampire has it." Two people appeared above the stairs, the mind-readers Ozkozier and Hamilton Lesenbra. Oz spoke, "Any foreign matter that is put into the human body will be eliminated after becoming a vampire. The truest form of a person before becoming a vampire will be his or her eternal form. So." Oz walked in In front, he passed Louise first and nodded, "The surgeries you are thinking of are useless. There have been several such cases in the West in the past few days." Before walking towards Zach, he glanced at the ' Splicing Object', hesitated for a moment, but finally chose not to continue approaching.
Just use the normal psychological rejection of human beings to explain it here.
But even if he didn't get close, Oz still took a mask and put it on his face. He continued what he had not finished and glanced at the stone platform, "And in this way, there will be no problem. Once recognized by the human body as one of its own organs, in the vampire will not be changed." Finally, Oz commented, "Be smart, my fellow humans of the West."
Hamilton didn't say anything. He was fully armed next to Oz, and it seemed that he was coming to help Zach.
Probably after listening to Oz's explanation, Louise had no problem anymore. She obviously didn't want to stay here any longer. "I just came down to tell you that they are here." Pointing to Oz and Hamilton, she pursed her lips and said, " I went up to accompany the family members."
"Yeah." Zach nodded.
Hamilton seemed to have guessed why Zach was constantly groping for his jaw, so he directly took Zach's original work and began to modify it.
Zach looked at it for a while. At first he was a little surprised at Hamilton's understanding of human skeletons, but later he didn't take it too seriously...
We all know how Zach developed his suturing skills while pretending to be a medic. His career as a military doctor was to make wounded soldiers look whole on the outside, but on the inside, with blood, simple and easy. Pretend to be a military doctor. The unexpected achievement that Zach achieved was that if there was a profession in the world that could identify the categories of human skin, uh, such as glossiness? Softness? Hair richness… Zach should be the expert. He'd stitched through enough skin.
So there is nothing surprising about the circumstances under which Hamilton learned enough about the chin. Just leave it to Hamilton. But this one came to help without saying a word, hehe~ The Sabbat's attitude satisfied Zach very much.
What deserves Zach's attention is the arrival of Oz, "I asked Hamilton to come, why are you here too?" The tone was quite relaxed.
"The affairs of the foreign vampires in the central region, right?" Oz's voice behind the mask was slightly muffled. "Lesenbra also mentioned it to me. But that's not why I'm here. I'm here to say goodbye."
"Farewell?" This is truly surprising.
"I was recalled by the Sabbat." Oz didn't intend to hide his frown in front of Hamilton. He raised his hand to point at the 'thing' on the stone platform, "You obtained information from General Lance at the Sabbat. It has been confirmed that humans are indeed doing what he told you in an organized manner." Just to review, "extend the lifespan of human identity, and prepare to become better vampires in the future." When pointing to something on the stone table, his finger Swinging emotions, quickly retracting, "Like this."
Zach could feel Oz's emotions and deliberately helped him relax, "You still take the time to confirm? Don't believe in my ability? Humph~"
The effect was good, there was a smile in Oz's eyes, and Hamilton's hand just shook a little.
The mood relaxed a little, and Oz spoke again, "As for the group that General Lance mentioned, the Sabbat has a rough list. To be more precise, it needs individuals, humans." Oz's words were already obvious, "Go Figure it out.”
Zach raised his head and thought for a while. Don't think about it. It's just that the picture he saw when he lowered his head was not very good. Then he smiled at Oz and said, "The Sabbat wants you to infiltrate and monitor this human group."
Oz nodded, "Lesenbra has not yet decided whether this group is a threat to the Sabbat or... an advancement."
This is interesting. Pay attention to the key words and decide. It seems as if this kind of thing is decided subjectively by one person.
Zach looked understanding, "I understand. After all, this group is composed of a group of humans who have been selected to become descendants of vampires." Like the dog brother, "They must have strengths that make the Sabbat beneficial." Ke then smiled and shook his head, "But this concept of 'manpower preparation before becoming a vampire' should be very interesting to us old guys who have lived for centuries..." Zach didn't expect this for a moment. What words to use.
It was actually Hamilton who added it when Zach trailed off, "Jealousy." He glanced at Zach and curled his lips, "Used to express unkind envy."
Zach nodded, "Yes. Unkind envy." He glanced at Hamilton for confirmation, then looked at Oz, the main target of the conversation, "It can easily turn into rejection or even strangulation."
"So the Sabbat needs their human partners, mind readers, and here I am." Oz shrugged, "I will be Lesembra and finally do this, haha." It became a meme, "Not well-intentioned Envy is an important indicator of whether to tolerate it and let it go or to resolutely kill it." Thanks to Zach for his lively joke just now, "Unlike you~ my ability is very valued in the Sabbat~"
There was a twinkle in Oz's eye.
Oz's ability, the ability to read people's minds. He read Zach's thoughts that he let go at this time
No one would think that Lutrecenbra would ignore the Sabbat that this mind reader had 'betrayed' after interpreting Zach's blood.
Oz's twinkling eyes were about to lose control.
Zach suddenly looked at the chin on Hamilton's hand, "It would be great if Mo was here. The ghost of the Republic has a special ability to 'create things'. She can create things out of thin air, so we don't have to go to so much trouble."
I hope everyone still remembers what Louise reported to Zack about Grande’s situation in Vega. Mo went to the Republic and was invited by 'Sophia'~
Oz's face, which was about to lose control, stabilized, and he answered perfectly, "I didn't see your Great Dane follow Mo?"
Zach shrugged, as if helpless, "I was out for more than half a month, and everyone ran away. Matthew ran away, Mo ran away, Jin ran away with him, and Charlie was ordered to stare at Alice again. With Herman." The purpose of deliberately changing the subject should not be too obvious~ "Lu is not coming back either, there is no one around me."
Oz had already received the message from Zach and knew that it was time for him to wrap things up and exit. "It's your own problem that Lu didn't come back." He took off his mask and had the intention of leaving. Originally, he came to say goodbye. Huh, luckily I came to say goodbye, otherwise...
"Mine?" Zach was adapting to Oz's exit. "I didn't send Lu back to his hometown. I planned for him to accompany me to the west. But, hum, James ended up walking with me. People are still being kidnapped and gone to who knows where."
Focus. Oz doesn't care about James' situation, why? Oz didn't know Dale, so he had nothing to care about. On the contrary, it is time to tell everyone where Lu has gone.
"It's important for you to return to the west, and Lu's mission is equally important." Oz waved his hand, "Forget it, I won't argue with you about this. I'm going back to prepare for returning to the Sabbat. You and Hamilton can get involved." Really gone.
Zach knew this was goodbye, so, falsely, "Then we'll see you at the Sabbat later."
"kindness."
Next.
Zach looked at Hamilton, and Oz threw the question to Hamilton, didn't he.
"So." Zach said in a high tone, "How long do you plan to let Lu stay in his hometown?"
'home'. It has appeared twice. It’s time to explain the hometown of vampires, the hometown of colonists, the hometown of Holy Lord faith, the continent of the Federation, where there are people who look like Zach, and where the ancestors live. I believe that in this story, we have always used the other side of the sea instead.
Still, there is no need to introduce the name of this land that the vampires have left behind.
"He can come back a long time ago." Hamilton frowned, not willing to accept Zach's responsibilities, "I asked Louise to tell you that you will decide where Lu will go next, and you let him wait there. "
"Really?" Zach began to pretend to have lost his memory, "When?"
Hamilton frowned, not ready to explain himself.
"Oh!" Zach began to pretend to remember again, "I remembered, you asked me to ask Lutre Sembula, right? Haha, I haven't spoken to him at the Sabbat, so I must have ignored him. ”
Hamilton remained expressionless as he began to assemble his completed chin.
"Okay, this is my fault. But before I call Jessica to discuss the vampire aliens in the middle, we still have some time. Why don't I talk about Arthur."
Hamilton frowned visibly.
"Zach," Oz said, that is an important task. I don't understand why sending Arthur to his hometown is an important task. Huh, Arthur's hometown is in the west. The hometown is mine, and it belongs to Eli, not his."
