Due to the season, it gets dark early. Vertex 23S. The fastest update was no more than six o'clock, and the place where artificial light could not reach had already fallen into darkness. Two vampires, uh, three, Zach, Lois, and Charlie, who had no need for human food, were watching TV in Grande's rec room.
What a warm 'family' scene~
vomit. In every sense.
Zach suddenly took away his arm from Louise's shoulder, stood up, squatted under the TV cabinet and began to rummage, "Where are the empty video tapes?"
"Do you want to record 'Cook's Kitchen' for Alice?" Louise glanced sideways at Charlie, and the two exchanged strange looks.
"Yeah." Zach looked up at the screen and turned the channel to try to tune to the channel where Cook's Kitchen was.
"Well, the show is stopped."
Zach turned back, "Stop?"
"The suspension was announced the day before you came back." Louise waved her hand to Charlie, indicating that he could avoid it.
Poor Charlie, Zach has been back for two days and he hasn’t said a few words to Zach...
Zach stopped looking for blank tapes and blinked, "How's Alice?"
"She said, 'It's not as good as before anyway'." Louise shook her head, then tilted her head, "But she still ordered the last set of commemorative videos, which should arrive tomorrow."
Zach lowered his head and thought for a while, then looked at the tape cabinet that had been opened. There were several Cook's Kitchen video tapes marked with ink notes. It seemed that Alice had not touched them.
Remember the Earthbinder on the train, the ship engineer who couldn't find anything to attach himself to when he got home
Zach didn't go so far as to compare himself to an Earthbinder, but it was close.
I closed the cabinet and returned to the sofa, "Have you got the video tape that Brother Gou sent?" TV is quite boring.
"Probably tomorrow too."
There were footsteps in the corridor. It was Alice and Maya who had finished dinner in the restaurant and came up to change clothes. Yes, these two girls have activities in the evening, and they seem to have made an appointment with Laura and the others to go to the Liszt District to watch a movie.
The two girls said "hi" when they passed by the entertainment room. That was it, and was quickly replaced by Maya asking Alice what she was going to wear.
The girls moved unexpectedly fast, and when they passed the door of the entertainment room, they had pink cheeks and slightly drunken eyeliner... When did it happen? Is Alice so skilled at makeup
"Charlie is coming with us, don't you mind." Alice stood at the door completely and said a complete sentence to Zach, "Barton is not safe, we need bodyguards."
"Of course~" Zach smiled back, "Have fun."
"Yeah." Alice left.
If I had my heart, I would want the picture to stop here. It depicts two vampires, Zach and Louise, in a dark room, facing a fluorescent TV screen, watching boring programs, letting the time go from 6 o'clock to 7 o'clock, 8 o'clock, 9 o'clock... and then telling everyone about the girl They ignored the regular family curfew and let the time span from 10 o'clock, to 11 o'clock, to 0 o'clock...
Then, with brisk steps and the girl's joyful laughter, he re-froze the still picture and wrote two sentences such as
"You're back, did you have fun?"
"kindness."
Such a polite conversation ended with the girl quickly passing through the dark space where the vampire was, to her room.
This deliberately shows the daily reality of vampires in Grande to create a certain atmosphere.
Everyone knows it. As an author, I, Madison, really have no good intentions towards Zach, I have no 'love' for him, and I don't even stand in his shoes to help him justify the disgusting things he has done.
But like I said, if I could decide, this is what I would want to write. But as a recorder, I don’t have any right to make decisions, right
so.
It was still a dark room, a TV playing boring programs, and two vampires sitting on the sofa. It seems that the scene has changed as I expected, being able to watch time continue to advance and the exaggerated atmosphere become reality.
Louise was the first to be alert, looking in the direction of the employee living area, "What's going on over there?"
Someone was yelling across the living area, "*!! Who took my soap?!"
Louise couldn't help but walk to the window. When she opened the window and looked around, more sounds appeared.
"*! Where's my pay check?!"
"Howl! I'm on the phone... *! Where's the phone?! Where's the phone that was in my hand just now?! *! Where's the phone?! Where's the phone?!"
…
One after another, there is an endless stream.
Louise looked back at Zach, "Uh, should we go take a look?"
"Yes." Zach had already stood up.
By the time the two vampires walked through the backyard, a riot had begun in the living quarters. Zach frowned and pointed to the corner of the second floor, where Bain's family is located, "Go and watch."
"Yeah." Louise was very fast and disappeared first. In the self-perceived class division of Grande employees, they believe that the Benn family is at the bottom of their class. If anything bad happens, Benn's family with childcare and care will not be easy. Therefore, Louise did not save.
Zach walked into the living area at a normal speed. The first thing he saw was Old Hank standing on one foot in the common area in a daze.
Old Hank realized Zach's arrival, and his stunned face instantly broke out, "Zach! Where is my crutch?! I still had it in my hand..."
Zach doesn't think old Hank has the sense to communicate normally and looks for Logan.
Found, wearing only a towel, Logan tried to stop Evan who was going crazy, as if he thought some guy had stolen his soap.
The whole scene was so beautiful that Zach continued to look for available figures.
Fortunately, I found one, Russell. Russell seemed very calm, holding a bowl of cereal and a spoon in his mouth, slowly walking through the chaotic crowd and walking up to Zach.
Sipping the milk-soaked cereal in the spoon, "What's going on?"
Zach was a little surprised by Russell's calmness, but calmness is a good thing, "I don't know. What did you see?"
"What can I see~" Russell seemed to have something wrong, and smiled stupidly, "Hehehe." The spoon gestured in front of Zach, "The goat milk in the barn~ Do you want to try it?"
Zach curled his lips. This guy seemed to be too calm and was still making some weird jokes. Zach decided to give a reminder, "It seems that everyone's things are missing. Why don't you go check yours."
"Oh." Russell giggled again, "I just checked, some things I don't use are missing, I don't care~" It seemed to be sincere.
Before Zach had time to comment, someone, a certain Grande employee, whose name was unimportant, was right in front of Zach, tripping over a bump on the carpet while running.
It just looks painful. Zach didn't help. The guy quickly stood up, cursed and pulled away the carpet, shouting at the exposed thing, "What the hell is this?!"
It's a metal box inside a sealed plastic bag.
Zach raised his eyebrows and glanced at Russell, whose expression also changed.
"Open it and take a look." Zach ordered the passerby employee who didn't need a name.
It was probably a shame for the employee to follow Zach's orders, so he muttered "You don't have to say it" before tearing open the plastic and opening the closed box.
Wow. It's a syringe and a plastic bag with something red in it.
Hopefully everyone will remember what Dale found in Russell's room before he foolishly decided to go out west with Zach on a business trip. Because this thing appears in front of us again.
The employee who discovered these things was stunned for a long time, and then became angry. Just like Dale's misunderstanding, he completely fucked their boss Zach, right in front of him, clutching the syringe and the red thing, shouting at the top of his lungs at the chaos: "Whose?! Who got the senior The goods are hidden by themselves!!"
High-end goods
What's wrong with people nowadays? Why don't they simply conclude that it's blood when they see red liquid
Well, after all, it is a contract killer (Dale) and a group of people who have been in prison for too long and are out of touch with the times. They have too high hopes for the things that human nature is created by evil.
Zach held down Russell, who was probably doing something stupid, and whispered, "So this is why you always had food supplies when you took care of Arthur."
There was only embarrassment on Russell's face at this time. He quickly glanced at Zach and answered in the same low voice amidst the already overwhelming commotion, "I'm looking for Charlie, a vampire. I need some means to save my life..."
Also, how could Russell's ridiculous 'mirror trick' (if you use a mirror to look at a vampire, the vampire will hide, and the absurd thing is that if you don't hide, it can bite you directly), it is possible that he is the means to survive until now on the road to find Charlie. This is, this is reasonable.
Zach, on the other hand, looked at Russell seriously, and suddenly asked, "Have you responded to Charlie's invitation?" There was another way to ask this question, and Zach said at the same time, "Do you want to be my grandson?"
You can imagine the discomfort on Russell's face at that moment, and then he said, "I, I don't have it." He sighed, and the employees in the living area began to shift from looking for their own lost things to finding the high-end goods together. When the traitor transitioned, Russell looked at Zach seriously, "To tell you the truth, I never thought about what I wanted to become. I just wanted to find Charlie and give myself an explanation. Do you understand? I never thought about it. I thought about becoming him..." What this really means is, "I don't think there's anything good about 'you'." And immediately, "Sorry, I didn't want to offend you."
"It's okay." There was a smile on Zach's lips, "You should just tell Charlie what you think, and." Zach took the bowl in Russell's hand, ignored everything that happened in the living area, and started to walk out. He continued, "You are already very good at dealing with vampires. You know there is a place in the Federation that is very suitable for a human like you to live."
Can you guess where Zach is going
Zach smiled, "The way you protect yourself, in that place, can give you a career~ You can make money with this kind of thing, and it's safe~"
"Really?" Russell followed Zach. On the one hand, he wanted to get back his bowl and still had most of the bowl uneaten. On the other hand, Zach's words were too attractive.
"Yeah, why did I lie to you? I saw it with my own eyes~" Zach thought of the feminine man and the tough man in his mind. Shake your head to disperse, those two are not careers, at most they are extra income, right? While Russell was taking care of Arthur in Grande, he didn't have any symptoms of anemia... I won't say more, look at the ex-convicts over there who are actively looking for interpretations, you can guess for yourself, it is impossible to guess wrong. So Zach said Russell could turn this into a career.
Zach's hint was so obvious, and Russell wasn't stupid, "Are you talking about the West?"
"Yes~"
The two of them were already standing outside the living area. Zach held the bowl, closed the door, bent down, placed the bowl on the steps of the front porch, and gestured 'shh' to Russell
Russell was very obedient.
What lasted for a while was the coldness of the winter night, and then a faint light swam and moved in the light coming from the windows on the building. Finally, Twinkle appeared on the steps.
The faint light sank into the bowl of floating cereal.
Zach held down Russell, stopping the guy from trying to speak out, and kept smiling, "Wait a moment."
They waited.
The light jumped out of the bowl.
Angry, "Vampire! This is not milk!"
"It's goat's milk. It's good to change the flavor occasionally, right~"
"snort!"
The light jumped into the bowl again. The liquid in the bowl settles at a rate visible to the naked eye.
The light was wrapped in a pile of sticky cereal, still angry, "Vampire! You don't keep your word!! I'm waiting for you! You and your two energetic human friends! I've been waiting for a long, long time!! You didn't Come!"
"I'm sorry." Zack smiled sincerely, "I thought you were dead and possessed by demons."
The light flickered for a moment, and there was a brief silence. The anger disappeared, but it seemed that it did not calm down completely. He said excitedly, "Devil, I hate demons! The other foot is dead, the hand is dead, well, the belly is also dead, The neck seems like... I don't know. I ran away and I'm still alive!" Back to anger, "Then I went back and waited for you! Because we had an agreement! I kept my agreement! You! You didn't!!"
"I'm sorry." He was really sincere. Zach looked at the faint light and said, "How can I compensate you?"
"One more bowl!" Without hesitation.
Zach picked up the bowl and handed it to Russell, "Full, please."
Russell went tight.
"How did you find yourself here?"
"Devils! I hate demons! But they're everywhere! But they were all saying 'that vampire who drinks sheep's blood is in Barton,' and I heard it! So! I'm here! Fulfill our agreement!"
A vampire who drinks sheep blood~
Zach glanced at Grande's living area and said, "Stay."
"What?"
"I said stay." Zach smiled, "You are the last one. You can't run that small hotel anymore, right? You don't even have a human form anymore."
The light is shining.
Zach pointed to the living area, "Stay here, look at the energetic humans here, there are a large group of them, it will be fun~"
The light shines.
"Yes! It will be fun!"
…
Russell held the full bowl and placed it on the steps, "To, at least... tell me what it is?"
"Raibokken."
In the ever-changing times, the dying fairy. Let’s remember it while we can still remember it.
