Lois has dressed up for Walter and Maggie's engagement party. Vertex 23S. Fastest update
"Should I go alone?" Louise asked Zach, because Zach didn't seem ready to go.
"Now there is a vampire ancestor who traveled across the Federation in less than two days and abused our food reserves in our barn. So I'm really sorry, but I can't leave Grande."
"Well, I understand, the clan ancestor is very powerful and dangerous, but what is the difference between him and Mokavi?" Louise was not satisfied that she wanted to go alone. Another unobvious meaning was that Zach should not be too much Obsessed over how powerful other people’s dads are. Just treat Mokavi as you would, don't take it too seriously.
"The difference is that for some inexplicable reason, Mokawi was smitten with Benjamin, and as much as I hate the concept of Benjamin and Mokawi being together, I can confirm that Benjamin is on my side. But him? Gil Mr. Burger? Am I supposed to believe those sheep can charm him?"
"Uh..." Louise was at a loss for words for a moment, but immediately said, "Then take him with you."
"Oh no." Zach shook his head speechlessly, "You didn't hear what we were talking about just now. How did he go to the public toilet?"
"I heard it. Chapman found him, right?"
"That's not the point. It's that he knows that the world is different from the one he knows. Every place and every building is beyond his understanding. He doesn't know which places he can step into, and in the end he ends up saying that he is far beyond this. The identity of most of the creatures in the world, running to a speechless place waiting for help. Can you imagine how sad this is?"
Louise frowned, "That's not what he said. He said he knew where it was because Chapman told him."
"Really?" Zach shook his head, "Do you believe this lie to save your self-esteem? Four centuries of slumber have made a vampire ancestor unable to smell the smell of excrement. Civilization has not advanced to the point where people like excretion. The situation. He is a guy from a historical era, but he needs someone to tell him where that place is?"
"Uh..." Louise also frowned, "You mean he deliberately ran to a place like that and waited for the police to find him?"
"Yes, and that's the only place he can go. Think about it, public facilities, continuous flow of people, mixed classes, easy to attract attention, not causing excessive commotion, and most importantly, safe, no one will be there Stayed too long. If we were suddenly thrown into the future four centuries later, the most we can hope for is that places like public toilets have not disappeared with the progress of the times! He is an old man who is lost and insecure. "
Louise finally understood, "I understand, so you can't take him to any social occasions, let alone an Indian woman's engagement party."
"Yes."
Louise pressed Zach's arm, "But you are not his son, you don't need to take care of him, that is Lesembra's job."
"It's a pity that he's here, isn't it?" Zach shook his head, "And I don't have to take care of other people's fathers. I just need to keep an eye on him."
"Okay." Louise nodded, "Be safe." When he was about to get in the car, James jumped out and jumped into the passenger seat as if running for his life.
Zach only confessed, "Don't tell Darcy."
Turning around, Zach prepared to go back to the office.
As soon as I entered the office, I saw Mr. Gilberg standing in the middle of the office.
Zach was surprised. Just a moment ago, Zach was sure that the other party's aura was in the barn to the west.
"Haha, don't be so surprised, you know I'm fast." Across the Federation, right? Mr. Gilberg smiled at Zach, and then raised his eyebrows, "Similarly, what grew up in my four centuries of sleep seems to include my..." He smiled and pointed to his ear, and there was no need to finish.
Zach pursed his lips, lowered his head at a forty-five degree angle, and sat behind the desk.
"I'm not surprised that Toledo's favorite son exposed my lie." The person speaking was naturally Zach. Mr. Gilberg sat down opposite Zach. "I'm very pleased that Toledo now has a perfect child." leader of."
It was a compliment, so Zach answered, "Thank you." And then as host courtesy, "I hope your appetite is satiated."
"Beyond satisfaction." Mr. Gilberg said with an afterthought, "I must say that today is the most comfortable day I have had in four centuries."
Very good, the ancestor of the Thirteenth Clans Lesembula is a guy who is easily satisfied. A meal of sheep blood is the most comfortable day. Humph, can you see the irony
Mr. Gilberg didn't finish his words, "I have always been curious about what this day will be like. Haha, it turns out that nothing is in line with my imagination."
Zach was not prepared to respond to this sentence, and packed up the Vega murder files left by James on his desk.
"Is this the case you and James argued about when I first arrived?" Tsk, he was actually curious about this thing.
Zack had no choice, pushing the file through.
Mr. Gilberg read quickly and kept turning the pages. I don’t know if he really read it. He quickly handed the document back to Zach, "This feels so weird." He shook his head, "When Mokavi came up with that wicked poker to let vampires and human soldiers establish a comradeship relationship, I He also said to Fan Zhuo, 'Humans and aliens have become comrades? The Holy Lord must be very desperate.'" Hush. The old man talks about history in the first person. All we have to do is listen carefully, "Now. Hum, the aliens died to protect humans." Mr. Gilberg shook his head. “The world is getting weirder.”
"That's not certain yet." Zach wasn't going to talk about history. "James and I really argued about which of the two deceased people was the murderer's target. This can give a characterization of the case, and then who is protecting whom. argument."
Mr. Gilberg tilted his head slightly, as if he just mentioned casually, "Why can't both be the target? Aliens and humans have an intimate relationship, a disgusting combination. In my time, I would execute them together."
Zach was stunned for a moment, then picked up the phone and started calling the North District Police Department. Without being put through, Zach could leave a message for James.
Mr. Gilberg, on the other hand, looked at Zach's movements on the phone and said, "I know this thing. Root told me that it is called, um...'long-distance communication terminal', right?"
"Telephone. This word was added to the dictionary about half a century ago." The phone was picked up anyway, and it was Wes's voice, "Detective Lance's call." A very professional opening.
"When James arrives at the police station, tell him I have a..." Zach glanced at Mr. Gilberg, "Grand's new guest has an idea. The target of Vega's murder is not an alien nor a human. . It is the fact that aliens and humans have established a close relationship. Previously, they attacked aliens who adopted human children, but they did not attack the children because the children had no initiative in the social system and were assigned to alien families. Children do not voluntarily establish relationships with foreign races. Therefore, children are not worthy of death as punishment, but it is obvious that those people have no mercy for those children. They basically destroyed the children's families and left without caring. . Then, their goal was achieved. The social service agencies in Vega City evacuated the children adopted by the aliens. Then, their target shifted to humans and aliens who had voluntarily established a relationship. And this time, both humans and aliens were worthy. They were punished with death, so the murderers had no mercy. The serial murders that Vega has been experiencing are typical anti-social terrorist attacks."
Zach said it all at once, without giving Wes a chance to react, "Then for Grande's new guests, don't ask, don't tell. You know the rules, Wes." He hung up.
Putting down the phone, Zach looked at Mr. Gilberg and said, "Thank you, you may solve a major hidden danger for your son's city."
"Really~" Mr. Gilberg smiled, "I'm glad I helped." He looked at Zach with narrowed eyes and a smile. The turn of the topic was unexpected but not surprising, "What do you think about Root's city?" What do you think?"
"very good."
Mr. Gilberg kept smiling, "After being awakened, during my short stay in Vega for a few days, what I ate the most, besides a pile of blood of girls filled with fantasies of idols and celebrities, was Root's blood." He gestured to Zach, "So I have the knowledge of how the world became like this. To be more specific, how the Sabbat led by my son Root created a society like the West under the shadow of the Secret Alliance. ." These words are considered objective, "But just like your answer, my opinion? Very good. Root has accomplished an achievement that I, as a father, should be proud of. But do I like it? Haha." Looking at Zach, "No, I don't like the West."
You all know what it means to look at Zach. Because just like Zach, he has an absolutely positive opinion of the society in the West, but back to subjectivity, do you like it? The answer is no.
Zach did not respond immediately, but was seriously thinking about what Mr. Gilberg meant. Is this a trap? Zach very much suspected that Root knew that Zach hated the Sabbat, so Mr. Gilberg, the ancestor who had received Root's blood, definitely knew it too. Therefore, there is no point in setting a trap for Zach. Before Mr. Gilberg came to Barton, he should have been very clear that Barton's Toledo was his son's 'enemy'. The quotation marks mean, personal enemy. Well... You can change the meaning of competitor to a derogatory direction, and that's about it.
So, this is just Mr. Gilberg's sincere words of thanks for the perfect hospitality? Uh, it doesn't look like it. What kind of father would say in front of his son's opponents that he doesn't like what his son has achieved
"You and your father are exactly the same~" Mr. Gilberg leaned forward and looked into Zach's eyes, "I can see that the thoughts behind your eyes are moving~ Just like your father, you are analyzing what others say The meaning of each sentence and each expression ~ and then organize the response that is most beneficial to you."
Zach was not ashamed of being exposed. Instead, "The advantage of Toledo is, we call this, efficient communication. Unless, you want me to perfunctory you."
"Haha, even the answers are almost exactly the same~" Mr. Gilberg smiled, "Of course, he won't use honorifics to me." Then, the smile disappeared, but relax, this is not a sudden change of his considerate behavior towards guests, but Yes, "I suggest you also throw away honorifics. No matter in theory or practice, you and I are in the same class now."
Zach frowned and carefully observed Mr. Gilberg's expression to confirm that he was not joking.
He didn't.
"Okay, Frank." Zach.
"That's right, Zach." Gilbert... let us keep the same title as the protagonist Zach. Frank, "It seems your alpha friend is back." Benjamin is back, together with Murphy, and will explain later, "Hehe, I need an introduction."
Zach took the order? Hey! Pay attention to your words! This is what the host should do for the guests!
