On a new day, old Hank rushed into the office early in the morning and yelled at Zach: "Is there something wrong with you?!"
Zach knew what happened in the living area and Evan was 'resurrected' and started showing off to the guys who were still his colleagues that he was going to be truly free. Vertex 23S. Updated the fastest So Zach's answer to Old Hank was, "You saw me going to find Evan yesterday, and now you're angry. I want to ask you what's wrong with you."
"I don't care if you send a useless person away from Grand! But can you shut him up! I'm making those people belong to Grand!" Old Hank, it's also very difficult, "I can't let anyone To have a sense of belonging, if a psycho is out there and keeps yelling that Grande is another prison!!”
"Then shut him up." Zach glanced at Old Hank, "You don't need me, a vampire to shut someone up." Another way of saying this is that you don't need a nuclear bomb to blow up a person. A cockroach, and then, "Please?" Zach raised the receiver in his hand to Old Hank and asked very politely, "I have a vampire on the other end of the phone waiting for my answer."
Old Hank went out gloomily. "Close the door, thank you." Zach followed, adjusted his sitting posture, and faced the receiver again, "I'm sorry you need to hear these trivial matters."
"No." The voice on the receiver...hey, Lutresembula said in a cheerful tone, "I'm glad to hear that the people around you hate you."
"Looking for the same feeling?" Zach also used a cheerful tone, "I thought we had all passed this childish age."
There's going around, it's a good rhythm. But Lutrecenbra didn't just make a phone call to argue with Zach. He hired other people to do this job. Don't forget the curse call at four in the morning~
"I just finished reading your Barton Daily." There was a page turning sound on the other side of the receiver. "Your friend, the secretary of Barton Mayor Anthony, is missing."
The door that had just been closed by Old Hank was pushed open again, and James' face was still covered with unrinsed shaving cream. It should be Louise who told James that Zach was taking Lesembra's call.
Zach glanced at James who rushed in and said into the microphone, "Do you have any questions?"
"No, I just want to express my regrets." Lutresembula's words are quite interesting. "As the mayor, the point of needing a secretary is to let others handle the chores we don't want to handle. But the result , This is a luxury, secretary, the salary does not seem to meet their needs and attention, they insist on looking for some trouble, and in turn let me, the mayor, worry about it."
Zach listened carefully, and then said, "Are you sure you meant to make this call to me? I don't seem to be the right person for you to find sympathy for when you complain about the secretary." It should be Anthony.
There was silence on the other side of the receiver for two seconds, and then, "I called, and then your friend, Mr. Anthony, the mayor of Barton, hung up on me." It seems that just saying that I just finished reading the newspaper, including turning the pages, was all staged. Yes. Dishonest guy.
Zach smiled, "You can leave a message~"
"I kept it." Lutresembula's answer only made Zach smile even more. "And your friend didn't return my call. Zachary Toredo, you should be ashamed of yourself for being like this." Make friends with rude humans.”
"Just get used to this kind of thing~" Zach patted away James' extended paw. James wanted to listen to the conversation on the phone, "I'm sorry to interrupt you." He said to the microphone, "I have a very persistent person here. Detective, so I would like to do a good deed for us and ask you directly, has there been any progress in your serial interracial murder case in Vega City? Please answer seriously, and then I can send this persistent detective away."
"Give the phone to James Lance."
Zach did so.
James didn't even speak, but what was said on the other end of the receiver was this: "The police in the West hate vampires with the power of human society. In this case, that's me. And let me ask you, would I want to continue to use my human Social power keeps reminding me of the city's law enforcement officers, why do they hate me? The answer is no. So I have put pressure on the Vega police and forced them to reopen the case. This is the only thing I will do. , I opened the box, and everything after that, what's in the box, is your police job. Understand, so don't ask me." And the last sentence, "Give the phone to Toledo."
James did as he was told, with a gloomy face, "I hate him."
Zach answered the receiver, and Root said very clearly, "Tell him I can hear him."
Zack replied with a smile, "He knows you can hear it, but it just can't change the fact, right? The police will always hate vampires who have the power of human society, haha."
James had left. Zach felt that someone would come to disturb him, and he didn't care if they turned off the phone. He continued to talk to the receiver, "And this is what you want, isn't it? Anthony, James, the candidate for Mayor Barton." Sir. You need this type of human being to take charge in Barton."
Is this strange? Don't worry
"I don't know whether I should be happy or sad, you actually understood my plan for Barton."
"Be happy." Zach gave the suggestion, "If I don't understand, I can destroy your plan, and you know, I have no burden at all to destroy any of your plans~"
"So we're being completely honest here, right."
"Why not, you won't call me from some unsecured phone. Well, it's just the two of us here."
"Okay, okay." The person on the other side of the receiver said a few words, with no special tone, as if just to take over what he had written down, "Then why don't you tell me why I chose James, the son of the Lance family, to become Future mayor of Barton.”
"I think this question can be narrowed down to why the son of the Lance family, who lived to be in his twenties, didn't know the existence of alien races. If he hadn't met me in Barton, haha."
good question. Does anyone think this is abnormal? James came to Barton and was almost killed by a shapechanger. Only after he was saved by Zach did he realize that there are inhuman beings in this world. Oh my gosh, he's from the West, and his neighbor, Linda, is a legacy!
"Okay, then please answer." The other side of the receiver also said please.
"Because of the Republic. James mentioned that Republicans are not uncommon in the west, so I guess the Sabbat Plan has been doing business with the Republic for a long time."
"Yes." Root affirmed directly, "When the gold rush in the West attracted these peoples from the other side of the world a few centuries ago, I was thinking that one day, I would make the Federation and the Republic have a relationship. "
"Bad connections, I guess," Zack pushed forward with a smile.
"Yes." He affirmed again, "For example, invasion. The mission that the Sabbat failed to complete with the Indians can be completed in a new continent."
Don't worry about this, because Zach said: "It's a pity that the Sabbat has no name to wage war. From the moment the Sabbat's identity changes from colonist to federal citizen, vampires, we, have no right to wage war." Understand, the Federation, a newly established country, would only go crazy and run to the other side of the world to fight a new colonial war.
"So this idea can only be put aside until there are more and more pioneers in the land of the North."
"There's no need to guess." Zach was talking about the history of the Secret Alliance. "The Sabbat wanted to leave the western part of the Federation and lead the country of the North, which was founded entirely by immigrants. This plan was killed by the Secret Alliance, or to be precise, me. In the cradle."
"Yes." Lutresembra's favorite word today is, 'yes', "The Sabbat cannot invade a new land, nor can it occupy a truly born country. I, the Sabbat, have been captured by the Secret Alliance , trapped in the western part of the Union.”
"Are you sentimental? Haha, don't be like this. When I was in Vega, you were very proud of the West you created."
"I'm very proud, countless times better than the mess you Toredo left in the middle of the country."
"Irresistible~" Zach shook his head, "I am happy to talk about history with you, but the topic now is about the current Federation and Republic. If my guess is correct, choose James Lance to be the future mayor of Barton , it was ten years... eleven years ago, after the war between the Federation and the Northland."
"Yes." Favorite word, isn't it, "The relationship between hesitation and war, the childhood of the Lance family son, with General Lance spending most of his time on the battlefield. And on the battlefield in the North Country, but at the time, we didn't know You, Craig, are both in the North Country. But it has no impact. The war between the Federation and the North Country is just a human war."
Zach looked thoughtful, "James did not grow up in the social atmosphere of the West during his childhood. He did not know the coexistence relationship between humans and alien races in Western society."
"And this is the key. I need someone who doesn't know about the existence of alien races and can control them, to go to the easternmost city of the Federation and become the interface between the Republic and the Federation."
"The route where James grew up includes Nenad, Wes, and Linda, haha." It can be said to be all-round protection, "Separating James from the real western society, and then, the military General Lance has been under the control of the Sabbat for a long time, I guess it comes from the arms trading relationship with Zmich."
"Human armed groups, especially the 'military', love their weapons, don't they." Root said a black joke, then snorted, "The relationship between Zmich and the military is not a topic for us to discuss. , Toledo, I’m not that easily fooled by you.”
It wasn't considered to be exposed, Zach just mentioned it casually, and then continued with the real discussion, "The significance of the 'quality' that James was deliberately 'cultivated' and did not know about the existence of alien races is that when When James served as the gateway to the Commonwealth from the Republic, he was a filter. He was unaware of the existence of aliens, so there was no alien business in and out of the cities he administered."
This sentence has very serious flaws, but it is absolutely correct. for example
If the security guard of a building does not know that one of the residents here is a wanted criminal, then the security guard will not call the police. Understand, the filter is not to keep criminals out of the building, but to keep the news about criminals inside.
"yes."
Since Zach received constant affirmation, it was natural to be happy, "Haha, Sabbat, after so many years, are you still thinking about leaving the secretly established federation to complete the mission of the Holy Lord? Haha. I admire you."
Keep up, if James, who doesn't know the existence of alien races, is the mayor, when a large number of alien races come in and out of his city, he will be like an idiot and be satisfied with the prosperity of his city brought by transnational trade...
"Admire yourself, you are also a member of the Sabbat, don't let me remind you again."
"Sorry, I forgot for a moment." Zach waved his hand in the air, "I must admit, I like this feeling of being honest with you. Who would have thought that during the colonial war, we disliked each other the most. , now we can talk so freely~"
"The phone calls don't stop at four in the morning." Lutresembula was not fooled by Zach. "We still hate each other."
"No objection." Zach shrugged, "But we have to talk about the change in plans. Since my information about Barton was exposed, your plan for Barton has also changed. But Anthony is still the template, James The mayor is still the mayor's choice. You want me to continue to express my understanding, and then you have to continue to confirm my guesses, or you can say it yourself. Haha, you may feel more comfortable, if you say it yourself~"
"You praise yourself too much." Surprisingly, he didn't confirm Zach's words. "The change of plan started when the Secret Alliance disappeared. It was not because of you at all."
"Oh?" Only now did Zach find the call interesting.
"Have you forgotten that the first day James went to Barton, he was attacked by a skinchanger. If you hadn't saved him, he would have died."
Makes sense. Zach suddenly had an epiphany. He held the receiver and looked surprised, "Barton is a city without a lord. Was it released by the Sabbat?"
"Hmph, how can a group of low-level aliens who have a very difficult time surviving in human society get any information about their city? Even better, it's information about an ownerless city. Are you so optimistic, Toledo, the bottom-level creatures are nothing. Got a chance to stand up and make the decision for no reason? So yes, it was the message given to them by the Sabbat."
This was a real surprise, "Everything was planned~" Zach was really happy, "The shapeshifter who sneaked into the Barton Telecommunications Bureau..." David, if you remember, Fitz's friend, "The smart ones knew to assign identities to the aliens who came to Barton. So there was the skinchanger Jin who attacked James and replaced James. Ha, everything was arranged." Zach said Raising his eyebrows, "You hope James dies." Zach corrected, "You hope James dies once." Understand! James is dead, but the identity of James Lance is not dead! King, continuing the existence of James Lance during the time when James died in the woods of the South Side!
"Yes." The favorite word reappeared, "The plan changed from needing a person who didn't know the existence of alien races to needing someone who hated alien races. No one is better than James Lan, who has lived in concealment his whole life. Si is more suitable."
Need someone who hates aliens? Ah~ Root said it, didn't he? The change of plan was not that Zach saved James, but that the Secret Alliance ran to the Republic.
The filter, to function as a real filter, James, after changing his plan, will be the wall that blocks the encounter between vampires in the two lands.
There is only one question left. If Zach did not exist in Barton, James would really die. What is the meaning of this
Zach: "I understand! How can a person discover as quickly as possible that he has been controlled by lies for his entire life? Let him die once!" Literally, the door to a new world opens in an instant.
"That's it."
Wait, there's one more question, but don't get Zach to ask it. We solve it ourselves.
How did James come back to life
How did the group of grandsons that Zach didn't want under 'The General' now come back to life? Two factors, one, the demon (Mike) who loved Zach had his soul returned. Two, the Siren who owed Zach a favor gave the body life. Let's just guess that these two factors are not lacking for the Sabbat that can list aliens on the price list.
"You have to admit, I gave you..." Zach corrected in time, "I gave us the Sabbat and created a better version of James Lance."
"You have caused a lot of trouble for the Sabbat..."
This call is endless. Lutresembula hasn't said yet why he couldn't talk to Anthony normally and had to resort to the next best thing to make a phone call to Zach. Not urgent…
