The Grande phone, which comes with it and will never stop once it rings, begins its inevitable fate on the early morning of the weekend. Vertex 23S. Fastest update
"Grand Funeral Home." Zach's left hand is the receiver, and his right hand is the work report brought by Sires... No, the work report is in Frank's hand, and what Zach has in his hand is just the accompanying manuscript.
"Hi~Zach~Good morning~"
"Good morning~" Zack responded to the good mood of the fishman Moorman in the receiver.
"I'm calling to thank your ex-wife for what happened last night~"
He said 'ex-wife,' and Zach wouldn't correct him. On the importance of the prefix, "Okay, I'll pass it on." Zach wouldn't.
"Thank you~ By the way, one more thing. We have created a 'Father Rotation List'. Do you want to join?"
Zach didn't know what Moorman was talking about, "Huh?"
"Look after Sean's rotation schedule!" Moorman on the other side of the receiver was a little excited. "We can't squeeze in together to be Sean's father, so we made a rotation schedule..."
Moorman didn't even finish.
"How many people have joined?"
"I, Harrison, Walter, Morelin, Sheila..." This list is a bit long and incomplete.
"Publicly?" Zach continued to ask.
"Yeah. Haha, after all, the purpose is that we can all participate in Sean's 'father' role..."
"Cancel it." Zach didn't want to hit Moorman, but the fact is, "Some aliens who don't want to reveal that their body parts were taken away by Papa Midnight will never be Sean's father because of this." Do you need an example? ? For example, the film man Wander.
Zach had another reason that he didn't say. I wonder if you all remember that when Zach compiled the list of Barton's alien body parts taken away by Papa Midnight three years ago, there were not only aliens who didn't want to reveal the parts of themselves that had been taken away, but There are also aliens whose parts have not been taken away at all, but who just pretend to be snatched away by Papa Midnight just to cooperate with everyone. Leo, the gatekeeper of purgatory, and Tam, who can swallow all things.
Although the concept of being the son of all Barton aliens is wonderful, no one wants to be his father.
Mollman on the other side of the receiver said "Uh..." for a long time, and then said, "Yes." He said blankly, "Oh, thank you for reminding me. I'll notify them to cancel!" The call was not hung up. Mollman "Sean wants to go to your place, can he go now?"
Before Zach could reply, Frank winked and signaled from the other side. Bob, who was watching and tasting the blood sample sent by Sires today, looked confused, "What is he doing?" '
Zach understood, going against his will, "Okay." He added, "But he knows that Alice and the others will go to the hospital to see his mother Trisha today. Maybe Trisha can be discharged from the hospital today. Is it suitable for him to stay outside? .”
"Oh? Really? Let me ask." Moorman began to ask questions to something outside the microphone.
The telephones produced by human technology are not yet powerful enough to transmit the voice of the soul.
When Moorman spoke to the microphone again, "He knows, don't worry, he can go back in an instant~ just like Soul Walker Sloan, and the range of movement is farther and faster~~" Moorman sounded like a proud father .
Zach had nothing to say, "Then I'll wait. Bye."
"Bye~"
As soon as he put down the phone, Frank began to explain to Bob how the power of the Holy Lord had been scattered in Barton during the fifty years of Barton's existence, and finally gathered in a newborn baby. Frank probably really wanted to meet this Sean. The eagerness was palpable, and Bob was stunned for a while.
Zach wouldn't interrupt, and he didn't have time. Zach answered the second call.
"Zach, is James out?" Wes' voice.
"No..." Zach looked in the direction of the bedroom outside the office door, but he didn't even finish his words.
"Tell him not to go to the bureau. Let's meet directly outside the Ford Funeral Home and let him stay hidden. The case has made progress. Today, Ford will move those living corpses. We need to control the transfer of the 'Xiaobai' gang." A new channel for living corpses.”
The container in the Port of Marsa was locked by the police because of the manslaughter case of a certain gang of family members, wasn't it? New channels.
Zach said before Wes could hang up, "James is still sleeping. He may miss this operation."
"What? What happened to him?"
"He..." Zach embellished his wording, "donated blood. He needs to rest."
James' balance couldn't be abandoned by a weak vampire lying on the beach, could he
Wes was quiet for a while, "I understand, then I'll ask him for a leave. Well, that's it, hang up."
"Yeah, bye."
"bye."
Putting down the phone, Zach returned his gaze to the manuscript. Taking back the past situation, the story of the kidnapping that happened in Vega is now developing, and it is getting more and more weird.
Out of the friendship that he was Grande's colleague, Logan took Russell to meet Lily. Dating? It was impossible, and every time Logan tried to fix the topic on the 'Apocalypse' cult, Russell would interrupt and forcefully talk to Lily about the blood market.
Picking up the phone for the third time, "Grand Funeral Home." Zach's eyes were still on the manuscript in his hand.
"Did you miss me?" The voice I hadn't heard for a long time was the fallen angel Jessica.
Zach raised his eyebrows and put down the manuscript, "Jessica, are you back?"
"Ha! Miss me~"
There was a smile on Zach's face, but he didn't respond. He listened to the background sound from Jessica's side, which was a noisy street and a voice that clearly did not have an accent from the eastern part of the Federation. That means he didn't come back. Zach's question changed to, "How's it going? Did you save your companions?"
"Still in progress~" Jessica's tone was very positive, so Zach guessed that it was going well.
This is a good thing, at least it means that Jessica's life in the middle is not in danger, "What's the matter?"
"Haha, can't I come and care about you? I heard from Cha that there is a little problem in your love life~"
Well. Zach was too lazy to explain, and said with a smile, "If you don't have anything else to do. I'm very busy~" His eyes returned to the manuscript again.
"Okay." Jessica on the other side of the receiver sounded like she had given up, "I need your help."
"As long as it doesn't include me going to the central part of the country." Zach was extremely persistent about not setting foot in the central part of the country. "I'll try my best."
"With my active negotiation, the Alpha here is willing to give up the church..."
Here it may be necessary to review the reasons why Jessica left Barton for the Central Region. To summarize simply, a church where fallen angels may be hiding was found in a small place in the middle. However, it was the territory of werewolves. The foreign vampires and wizard families selected by the Sabbat did not dare to approach, so Jessica could only come forward on her own.
Jessica continued, "... The premise is that I do something for him. But I understand that this is something far beyond my ability, so I can only ask my old friends in Barton for help."
"Just tell me." Zach wanted to laugh a little. What is the need to elaborate and create suspense for something that will be revealed in the next sentence? Jessica’s speaking skills still need to be practiced.
"In the middle of the alien chaos, there is an underground blood trading system of its own, did you know?"
"You know something." Zach put down the manuscript in his hand again. This topic sounded a bit serious and required concentration. "Bumi and Dora once did blood trading underground in the central part of the country, sheltering those vampire aliens."
"It's not that kind of street stall." Jessica didn't mean to mock Novel, "It's more serious, more in-depth, the market."
"Oh." Zach responded, thinking. If we talk about more serious and in-depth vampire activities in the central part of the Federation, Assamat is the one. Here, Zach thought wrongly. No one said 'blood trading', it can only be classified as vampire activity.
"Werewolf blood, Zach, there is a deal on werewolf blood in the central government." Jessica said the suspense.
"Trading werewolf blood?" Zach repeated, "How..." I don't know how to express it. But that means, can the blood of werewolves be traded? There were so many doubts that Bob and Frank looked over, obviously attracted by the topic. Zach simply put the receiver on the table and solved the first doubt first, "Jessica, do you need to be more specific, which kind of werewolf blood, a werewolf in human form or the blood of a wolf body?"
The blood of a werewolf in human form is no different from that of ordinary humans, while the blood of a wolf body is no different from the poison of a vampire and the blood of the dead. Two types of blood derived from the same creature have no trading value in Zach's common sense. Confirm one before proceeding.
Zach still didn't realize his mistake.
Jessica began to 'educate' Zach, "Well, specifically, Alpha blood. There is a deal about Alpha blood in the middle."
"Suicide." Bob frowned.
Frank did the same, shaking his head, "Tainted for eternity."
Zach glanced at the two guys who best embodied the essence of vampires, but said nothing, "Who would buy this kind of blood? Uh." New question, "Who would sell this kind of blood?" Alpha himself? Ah. Can you imagine a huge ferocious wolf-shaped creature pinching a bouncy ball to bleed like a human being? Chewing two biscuits afterwards?
"Did you misunderstand something?" Jessica said deliberately, "Do you think this is a vampire food trade?" There are also types of education. There is one called shock education, which usually starts with hitting you with a stick first.
"Uh... what?" Gazak and the ancestor of the three clans looked at the receiver together.
"I said, this is a more serious and in-depth transaction. The vampire's blood transaction just for food is not serious and in-depth." The pain that started from the blow of the stick continued to the destruction of the soul, "This, Very high-end.”
Zach's mind was spinning hard. A guy like Zach who likes to educate others doesn't like to be educated. He wants to find his rhythm.
Oh, Zach, after all, he is a guy who is 'preferentially treated' by the world (Frank previously made an analogy between the preferential treatment of human society and the welfare system that can only be obtained by trusting citizens of society, and the rewards and imaging abilities of vampires). Zack, thought, in Frank and Bob's weird looks
"It's a werewolf deal, right? Purchased by wandering wolves without an Alpha. Even though they don't have an Alpha to lead them, they still have the combat power that the Alpha can provide."
Remember, Alpha allows his wolves to obtain Alpha skin through blood to maintain combat effectiveness during non-full moon cycles.
Jessica did not hide her disappointment at all, "Tsk, can't you be a little stupid and let me enjoy it a little longer."
"I'm sorry to disappoint you." Zac pouted, "You gave me enough hints. The chaotic middle." This means that in the central land where alien races are fighting for territory, it is impossible to catch all the alien races that have formed a complete ethnic group. A lot. Zach has an example here, Sam, isn't it? He once led a group of werewolves who had lost Alpha's protection to Barton! "It's higher than vampires' food trade." This is simple. The vampires in the middle trade blood for food, which is low-level. The werewolf blood trade here is for power, which is as high as the sky.
"I agree." Jessica gave up, "I was asked by the Alpha here to hunt down a traitor to the wolf pack."
There is a wave of unrest, and there is a wave of traitors among the wolves. Believe me, for four centuries, the word 'traitor' has not been in the wolf pack's dictionary. Why? Because the pack members who had the heart to rebel against Alpha either died or became the new Alpha. Do you remember how Benjamin became Alpha? Do you remember how 'Benjamin' assessed the standards for his descendants...
Zach's mind continued to spin, and he cautiously speculated, "There are werewolves who came to the wolf pack because of their blood and then left the wolf pack."
Jessica was not going to lament that Zach's thinking had kept up with the speed. "In a simple summary, it is like this. But to be more specific, this is because the blood has the best adaptability." Jessica explained briefly, "Obviously this is also the beginning of the chaos in the middle. Later, the werewolves themselves discovered the fact that werewolves who were not part of the pack had different acceptance levels of the blood of an Alpha. Some Alpha's blood was suitable for some werewolves, and some, no. The werewolf who took refuge in this Alpha was very suitable for this Alpha's blood. , so he came here through a dealer and joined the wolf pack.”
"I can feel 'then'." It's not Zach, it's Bob. The ancestor of the Tsimishi family who claims to be a pacifist obviously feels the 'threat to peace' in this werewolf topic, and naturally wants to urge of.
"Who's talking?" Jessica asked.
"Ancestor of the Zmich family." Zach replied, "You continue."
Jessica continued, "He gained Alpha's trust, and then continued to steal Alpha's blood and sell it for profit until he was exposed and ran away. I handed over this traitor to Alpha, and Alpha handed over the church to me."
"What difficulties did you encounter?" Zach was very attentive.
"Difficult? Hahaha." Jessica smiled, "You asked me, a fallen angel, to track down a person in a werewolf trading network for the purpose of gaining power. Difficult? Hahaha." Continue to laugh, or cry, "I can't move an inch."
Zach paused, "Do you think... I..." Don't be subtle, "Vampire, can I help you?"
Do you think that Jessica's difficulty in moving forward will be smooth with Zach? ? ? No, it's more difficult.
"You can always think of something, right~" Jessica's infinitely positive tone, who did she learn from it? "I believe you~"
