Zach spent the whole night looking at himself in the mirror. Vertex 23S. Updated fastest "I feel like this is me." Zach was sitting in front of Louise's dressing table.
Louise was on the bed, covering her face speechlessly. It's not that Louise doesn't care about Zach's troubles, she just... doesn't care that much.
How should I say this? Think back, when we were students, when we were learning addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, would we be very active in trying to figure out what limits and quadrants are
Addition, subtraction, multiplication and division seem to be able to solve everything in this world, and there is no need for more advanced knowledge. At this point in my life, I know enough to work with.
Louise behind her palm asked, "Why do you care so much about this thing? Are you really prepared to use this ability to rule the world?" Louise shook her head, got up and got dressed.
Zach watched Louise dressing in the mirror, "No, but he walked away. My own image left me and walked away. Did I let him go? Did he go away on his own? What did he do? ? What does he want to do?" Zach stared at Louise in the mirror seriously, "If you think about it carefully, don't you feel scared?"
Louise also looked at Zach in the mirror and continued speechless, "I thought about it, and then I felt that there was no need to be afraid, as long as she stayed there honestly every time I looked in the mirror, that was enough for me. It's over." Louise put on her clothes and looked in the mirror to fix her hair, just scratching it. Then she smiled at the mirror that faithfully reflected all her movements. This was a smile for herself, "Look, that's enough. ." Turned around and left the bedroom.
Zach watched Louise's back disappear behind the closed door in the mirror, looked at himself in the mirror again, and asked, "Will you stay there honestly?"
Zach in the mirror is asking Zach the same question.
Zach was probably crazy. He twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "Are you asking me? You are my image, and you are the only one who exists because of me, so you are not worthy of asking me questions!"
It’s so magical~ Zach in the mirror is also saying the same thing to Zach~
"If you lose your mind, you'd better tell me in advance." The bedroom door was pushed open, and James stood by the door, staring at Zach with contempt. Well, the main thing about Zach in the mirror is that Zach's body is facing away from the door, and James doesn't want to look at the back of Zach's head to speak.
"Who are you talking to?" Zach turned to look at James, "Me? Or the thing in the mirror."
"Crazy." James exited the door and left.
Zach twitched the corner of his mouth again, turned around and looked back at himself in the mirror, crossed his arms, and looked at it with no trace of attack.
As I said just now, this stare has been going on all night. All Zach wanted to see was that the guy in the mirror walked away again.
What happened in front of Sissi yesterday was so sudden that no one could react. Zach was able to find that his own image abandoned him because Alice was so frightened that she almost dropped the small mirror in her hand.
But what makes the situation even weirder is when Zach holds Alice's hand and asks, 'Where's my image?' ’, Zach in the mirror came back.
What happened next was not nutritious at all. To put it simply, Zach and Frank continued to ask Sissi what this ability was, but Sissi didn't answer.
Why should she answer? Oh, this is the reward that vampires can get only if they win the colonial war. Is the war won
Yes, that's right, the rewards are now indeed sent to the vampires, Toledo and Gangro. But apparently, Zach doesn't know the correct way to use this ability. Well, forget about Gangro.
So Sissi kindly told Zach that this ability was not an image, was she really kind? She was deliberately trying to mess with Zach, and she succeeded.
For Zach, the worst thing is that he knows that Sissi is not trying to trick him, that Sissi is telling the truth. The thing in the mirror is not the simple image that Zach once thought. The thing in the mirror can walk. Lose.
Zach didn't know what made what he always thought was his image go away. Therefore, there is no way to know whether the thing in the mirror is still under my control. From this, it is the fear that Zach just mentioned. Are the things in the mirror independently conscious? Is it the waiter who plays along every time Zach looks in the mirror? Will he resign? Or complaining about his job... Does Zach need to pay him anything
This is a bottomless abyss. Zach is a little lonely in the abyss because Louise is not with him.
Zach wanted to admit that what Louise said made sense. After staring at the mirror all night, the 'waiter' in the mirror did not go on strike. No matter how you look at it, the situation that appeared in front of Sissy yesterday was an accidental exception that happened to Zach. The moment when my understanding of my ability was shaken, I accidentally touched the correct way to use this ability.
Let’s take an extreme example to help everyone understand:
You picked up a brick on the road. You saw that it was of moderate weight and size, so you took it home and made it a doorstop. Then one very unfortunate day, a bad guy breaks into your home. When your life is shaken, you pick up that perfect doorstop and shoot the bad guy.
At that moment, you know very well that this brick picked up from the road is a weapon. The correct way to use it is to hold it in your hand and keep hitting the bad guy who will threaten your life.
Then when this little accident of life is over, tell me, will you continue to use this brick correctly, or will you just leave it next to the door and let it continue to be a doorstop
Louise was the one who also picked up a brick at home and luckily didn't meet any bad guys. Just use a good door stop.
Zach, it's you. But Zach is not exactly you, he is something that has sucked blood for four centuries, so when you represent the truth, goodness and beauty of mankind and continue to use bricks as door stops, Zach is obsessed and hesitant.
Save... No, at this moment, what temporarily saves Zach is
"Phone." Louise returned to the bedroom door, a little hesitantly, "Logan."
Reason for hesitation: James' footsteps suddenly became hurried, and he was going directly to the office from the sound of his voice.
James just put the receiver to his mouth, "Logan..."
The receiver was in Zach's hand. Zach stretched his body, stiffened slightly, and sat behind the desk, ignoring James's words, "Morning, Logan."
"Well, morning." Logan's voice seemed deeper than normal, and Zach could tell it was due to excessive fatigue.
"You sound tired." Zach pushed away James' face.
"I'm very tired." Logan admitted, and, "I haven't slept for two days and two nights."
Zach's face was sullen, just in time to scare James who came over again. Zach's face now really smelled bad. This is the result of the superposition of bad situations, "Two days, which means you haven't rested since you went to see Lily."
The person on the other side of the receiver was stunned for a moment, "How did you know that I saw Lily?"
'Madison wrote. 'So the answer? Then Zach will explain the future, present, Archangel, Holy Lord, Madison, Ms. West one by one? Forget it, Zach is really not in the mood right now, "I just know." He said unreasonably, "I also know that you and Lily discovered a cult called 'Apocalypse'. You are making this call to say Is this the case?"
"Uh... yes, yes." The affirmative response, and then, seemingly impatiently, "Who told you this? We thought we didn't leak the news to anyone!"
Zach still didn't explain, but the stench on his face continued to increase, and he shot a warning directly into James' eyes. The reason? "What do you mean you didn't leak the news? Didn't you call the police?"
Zach was so foresight, if it weren't for the warning look in his eyes that was almost like a devil, James would have pounced on him.
"No." Logan was still impatient, "We didn't notify the police! Lily wouldn't let me! I knew it was a bad idea!"
"Relax." Zach's eyes kept warning to James, "What happened." At the same time, Zach's hands were groping for today's work report on the desk. Didn't touch it.
James' body shook as if he was electrocuted. He abandoned Zach, rushed out of the office, and went straight downstairs. Cyrus, who was going to go out to Grande to get the work report from Madison, hadn't come to work yet.
Zach pouted and looked at Logan on the receiver: "Lily wants private revenge. She wants to solve the two murderers who murdered her, let her daughter keep asking about death, and then let her daughter's teacher use this reason to report She is not suitable to be a parent, and she lost her daughter to the two people in the end." Well, this is a sentence structure that advances layer by layer, you all understand. This is the official reason Lily lost her daughter, and we saw it with our own eyes. It's hard for Logan to sum it up so directly.
Zach thought for a moment, "So you don't contact the police? Does Lily want to take revenge on her own before the police do?"
"Yes! She said she didn't trust the Vega Police Department. If those murderers were sent to the judicial system, she might never be able to avenge them. The worst case scenario might be that only criminals who participated in the murder of human beings are punished. And those who hurt , people who murder foreigners may not be touched at all.”
Zach pursed his lips, Zach understood. Don’t you understand? In the kidnapping story, Lily said that she wanted to show Logan her life after becoming a foreigner. This was an unreserved display.
Logan didn't hear Zach's response right away, "Zach, Zach?"
"I'm here." Zach responded and shook his head. He was a little unfocused and wanted to straighten himself out. "What's Lily's progress now?"
"We stole the accounts of our entrusted clients..." Logan paused. He thought Zach couldn't understand. "We know about 'Apocalypse' because of this client's commission..."
"I know about your entrustment." Zach adjusted his mood again and suppressed the rising irritability. "I know that your client's partner is funding 'Apocalypse', continue."
Logan was quiet for a while and obeyed, "From the accounts, we found the supplier of weapons for Apocalypse. It is a company in central China. Lily thinks it is just an empty shell and plans to go to the mayor's office today to make a call. Click on the resources to find out the personnel information of this company." He added, "I will also take a nap when I have time."
Zach nodded, "Where was the person who met your client's partner on the first night?"
Logan was stunned again, probably because he was surprised by the details that Zach knew. After being stunned, he answered, "Dead end, we tried to track it, but obviously that person will use weapons against aliens if he really enters their church center. Anti-tracking means. Lily has no way to follow."
"So the people funding 'Apocalypse' are just very peripheral members?"
"Well, it looks like this, and the kind that can be discarded. After all, he is responsible for the supply of weapons." Logan's voice became gloomy again, "Lily said that this would avoid the charge of illegal weapons trading after being exposed. "The next words are a bit cold, "Killing aliens is not a crime for humans, but it can be used to convict weapons transactions and the relationship is put aside. Most members of 'Apocalypse' can walk away without guilt."
Zach frowned, "Isn't there a society like Vega where foreign races live openly, but there is no law for foreign races?" It's not that Zach is asking this core question now, but when Zach was in Vega, wasn't it still Didn't such a heart-touching incident happen
"No." Logan answered, "At least Lily said she hasn't seen it yet. The vampires at the top don't need the protection of the law. They have the power themselves to be the protection. The aliens below just rely on cooperating with the human social system. , and sell their labor to live openly like this. In essence, foreigners have no rights of their own in Vega... "
From the tone, Zach could tell that Logan had not finished speaking, but there was indeed no sound in the receiver. Zach understood that this call was not about Logan telling Zach what he had experienced in Vega, but about what Logan felt.
We know Zach, no matter how serious the problem he is facing, if someone needs him, he will be considerate~
Zach: "Are you reconsidering your decision to become an alien? Logan."
"It's not enough yet." Logan's speech began to slow down. "I know what kind of life the aliens here in the west live, and I also know what kind of life the aliens around you live. I still remember that I The reason I wanted to come to the west was that I wanted to see more of the lives of other races. Now I have seen it."
Zach nodded, probably agreeing with Logan's understanding, "No matter what, you know what you need to compare."
"Well, the comparison is with my human life. An ex-convict who works in the funeral industry." A familiar summary of life, isn't it. Logan paused for a while, "Zach, I know I'm not suitable to be Toledo, so you suggested that I watch other alien races..." He stopped himself, "Forget it, I have time, I can continue watching."
Zach didn't respond at all, because this is the truth. Remember Zach's answer when Logan first expressed to Zach that he didn't want to continue being a human. Zach gave Logan a choice, and he shouldn't let it go.
"Have a good rest." Zach was about to hang up the phone.
"Yeah." Hang up.
