"Aren't you going to go?"
In the entertainment room on the second floor of the Grand, Zach and Louise were on the sofa. Vertex 23S. Fastest update to watch TV? Zach had no idea what was on the TV. The two Republicans were chattering there...
The above question was asked by Louise. After Craig came back from the wizard, Zach left the office, leaving the place completely to Frank, Bob and Craig.
"I won't go, the topic is too depressing." Zach stared at the TV screen, "Is this a comedy show?" Zach was guessing the show on the TV. The reason for this speculation is that the only language Zach understands on this show is "Hahahahahahaha."
"Probably." Louise didn't care much about the content and looked at Zach's side face, because Zach seemed to be in something wrong.
It needs to be stated that the topic in the office has nothing to do with depression. It is purely a discussion about conspiracy.
Zach noticed Louise's eyes, curled his lips, and raised his hand to indicate the direction of the office, "What are they talking about now?" Of course Zach could hear it himself, saying this just helped Louise understand.
Louise turned her head and listened to the direction of the office for a while, "Frank is saying, Root may have been wary of the too close relationship between Zmich led by Roy and the military. With the support of Zmich, the military The strength of the federal state has established the strength of the federal country, and the strength of the country has given the Sabbat vampires superiority. To sort out this relationship simply, Zmich = the power of the Sabbat vampires. Lesembra's contribution to the vampires has been covered up. Frank I think Root has been planning to disintegrate the Tsmish clan for a long time.”
Depressing? Unless Zach is jealous of Zmich or Lesembra's accomplishments. Otherwise, this should clearly be Toledo's favorite theme.
Zach glanced at Zach and realized that Louise didn't realize it, and pursed his lips, "This is Frank's speculation. Isn't it."
Louise frowned, "That's right, but it should be the fact. Even we all know that there is something between Root and the federal military..."
Louise still didn't grasp the point, so Zach could only remind him again, "Lesembra knows a person, no need to guess."
Louise opened her mouth and understood, "Oh, he drinks blood." She frowned and glanced at the office, "I remember Frank said when he first came here, Root gave Frank his blood. , allowing Frank to quickly understand this era."
Zach shrugged, "Obviously, Root hid some information related to the important decisions of the Sabbat." He was getting depressed, "What is left for Frank is just 'boring comparisons between juniors.'" Isn't it,' Dad, that Toledo bullied me'.
Louise tilted her head, her expression seemed sympathetic, "Frank is completely used as a prop by his son, right?"
Zach nodded, "This is not the only factor that causes depression..."
Zach was momentarily interrupted by Louise. Because of the discussion in the office, Zach also paused for a while when he deconstructed the topic into the issue of father-son relationship for Louise.
Zach and Louise could hear the conversation over there in the office, and they could hear the conversation over there. Therefore, Zach successfully spread his depression.
Louise interrupted with a wink. It means, 'Stop talking. This is almost like talking about other people's father-son issues in front of others. It's very unkind. '
Zach really didn't say anything and continued to stare at the two republicans on the TV and chatter.
While watching TV quietly, Zach was so bored that he counted how many republican words he understood. If anyone is curious, the answer is revealed, 108 'ha's'.
Suddenly, Zach said, "What are they talking about now?" pointing in the direction of the office.
Louise frowned and gave Zach a 'forget it' look.
Zach shook his head. It seemed that he had made up his mind to continue spreading "depression". He repeated, "What are they talking about now."
Louise shook her head helplessly, and after listening for a while, her face looked a little strange, "Craig said that during the war that ended eleven years ago, the Northland government inevitably became aware of the vampire power of the Federation. From then on, the center of power in the Northland They began to split. One group believed that the vampires of the Federation were a threat, and the other group..." Louise frowned, "They are unwilling to discuss this topic. Craig belongs to the latter."
Zach seemed to be leaning lazily on the sofa, "Did I mention that I sorted out Vega's blood trading accounts at Vega. The federal military's purchase of vampire blood has gradually increased over the years, but with my In my humble opinion, when the federal military needs vampire blood the most, that is during war, do you know the transaction volume of vampire blood purchased by the military?"
Louise answered, "It's zero." Louise didn't know if Zach had said it. She knew the answer because of the blood exchange with Zach. The two of them often exchanged messy information without restraint~
Zach nodded, "Yes, it's zero. Zero is enough for me to pretend to be a military doctor and infiltrate the federal army without any hindrance." Zach shrugged, "If the North Country can discover some federal vampire power during the war, haha, That's me." Zach raised his hand, "You know what's interesting? When I first entered the battlefield, I still carried the nationality of the Northland on my body. The people I rescued did not distinguish between nationalities, whether they were from the Federation or the Northland. , saw it, and saved it."
Louise suddenly became curious and asked for the sake of the people in the office who also paused the discussion, "Then why did you come back to the Federation?"
Zach's answer was very, very hurtful, "I feel like the Federation suffered more casualties."
That battlefield, as we have said before, had no winner or loser. It was the kind where two dogs got tired of biting each other and each licked their wounds separately.
The discussion in the office continued, and it seemed that Zach in the recreation room was just a recollection that had no practical significance.
Louise looked at Zach, "You..." pursed her lips, "You actually don't know where you are going. So..." Louise raised her hands and made a wave motion, "You are floating. "
Zach smiled at Louise, "Yes, I floated. I didn't know why there was a war between the Northland and the Federation, so I floated to the battlefield. I saw that there seemed to be more blood on the Federation side, so I floated Returned to the Federation." And, "Then I came to Barton because I met Benjamin and Anthony." Zach kept smiling, "Haha, if it weren't for the soldiers of Anthony's group who used this city as a psychological comfort, I wouldn't have done anything. I didn’t know there were more cities in the Federation.”
Louise continued to frown, because Louise didn't think Zach was just recalling the past. Zach's state was not right from the beginning.
Louise turned her head and listened to the discussion in the office for a while again, "Craig admitted that when the center of the Northland power he was in was divided, he had the idea of awakening Bob. But he was also worried about his own establishment. Tsimich is still unable to compete with the Sabbat of the Federation. The result of awakening Bob may be that Tsmich is unified by the Sabbat. Then his century-long efforts and the clean start of the Tsmish clan will be meaningless. So he He didn't want to talk to the powerful people in the North about federal vampires from the beginning. He didn't think the time had come until..." Louise's retelling had a tendency to be unstoppable.
Zach interrupted here. It’s not that the content behind is unimportant, but Zach’s ‘depression’. This is enough. “When I am floating without any purpose, I am very happy that someone has a clear purpose.” What it says is that Craig's purpose is clear.
Louise glanced at Zach, not feeling that Zach was 'happy' at all, "Is it a clan?" Louise curled up her legs on the sofa and changed into a more comfortable position, "Craig was thinking You want to create a brand new Cmich clan, but you drifted back to the Federation, and Anthony, the only descendant chosen for safety reasons, rejected you?"
Zach shook his head, "That's not it." Zach denied, and then said something that might have been missed in the discussion in the office, "A century ago, Craig understood that the clan ancestors did not care about the clan. , any crisis in the clan will not attract the attention of the clan ancestors."
Of course, the discussion in the office stopped again.
Zach continued, "This is especially obvious for Zmich. Zmich was the most vulnerable when the Federation was established." Because of the battle with werewolves on the battlefield, "Bob still chose to go to sleep." Zach said He shrugged and looked at Louise, "That's why Craig is obsessed with establishing a new Zmich clan."
Louise didn't respond and listened to the other side of the office.
Craig in the office spoke, "Yes, I don't know what we existing descendants did to make our father ignore us." Here Bob interjected, "Oh, my dear Gram..." was He interrupted directly, "I don't care, that's the fact. I don't blame my father for anything. I'm just annoyed that at the last moment of my life, the Toledo clan only thought about Zachary's safety. This made me understand that there was 'Sons that the father cares about' exist. But for the father, it is not me, not my brothers in the Sabbat. So, a completely clean beginning that has nothing to do with the sons who have become 'not caring' in the past. . The northern country of Tsimixi is the goal of my efforts. Father, this is what I prepared for you."
It seems that Zach did not spread 'depression' this time, but 'love'.
This 'love' is poisonous.
Zach smoothly connected to the office, "A guy who doesn't care about his father at all uses his father as a prop." He tilted his head, "A guy who cares too much about his father is trying his best to provide his father with a new start. Opportunity."
Zach didn't finish, "One is called Rutler Sembula. He is the leader of the Sabbat vampires. As Rut himself said, he is the leader of the Federation vampires. One is named Craig Zmich, who is the leader of the Sabbat vampires. The leader of Xi, as Craig himself said, is the founder of the vampires in the Northland."
Zach raised his hands on both sides, higher than his shoulders, "Both of them are high-ranking vampires, but they gathered their higher-ranking fathers into me, Tori, who has no father, and his position is, well, precarious. In many offices.”
Louise's frowning eyebrows relaxed and the thing that Zach was depressed about, it turned out to be this!
Zach said the last sentence, metaphorically, "My soul hurts."
Have you ever occasionally witnessed someone being so cruel to their parents that it was heart-breaking, and then you said in your heart: I would never do that to my parents.
as well as. Occasionally, I witness some people having an enviable relationship with their parents, and then I say in my heart: I wish my relationship with my parents was as good as that.
For Zach... contrast is torture to the soul. If the above are two extremes, most of us are probably in the middle between upper and lower, and Zach is higher than upper and lower than lower. Let’s feel it. Does it hurt, soul.
Frank appeared at the door of the recreation room, "Do you want us to discuss it in another place?" It was considerate.
Zach shook his head, "When I started to think about these ethereal things, Benjamin was there to remind me. Now, just let me stay quietly, and it will pass."
Frank's expression was a little strange, "Your alpha brother still has this effect on you."
Zach also gave a helpless expression, "I think maybe the fact that I became a brother with an Alpha made me focus on reality. After all, this is a living reminder that anything can happen, and I can't be distracted."
"That makes sense." Frank raised his eyebrows and turned around to go back to the office. Before replying, he added, "Then just keep quiet and stop interfering and affecting everyone's mood." A very pertinent request.
"Sorry." Zach apologized and glanced at Louise, who wouldn't have spread her depression if she hadn't asked.
Louise turned her head away, as if she was too lazy to pay attention to Zach. Why? Because obviously Louise doesn't have the effect of making Zach focus! Louise, not as good as Benjamin!
Zach reacted for a while, then leaned towards Louise, "Sorry, I didn't mean that."
Louise pushed her away with her legs and said, "Don't touch me." She taunted, "I'm in a bit of a hazy mood right now." The worst way to taunt me is to quote, "Let me stay quietly. When it gets over, I'll be right to you." you say."
"Louise..." Zach continued to try, using his hands, feet and mouth at the same time.
"Go away." Louise continued to refuse, using her hands, feet and mouth at the same time.
The two struggled for a while.
"I'm still a baby, father, and this scene is too exciting for me."
The two vampires turned back together, and a translucent blue baby floated in front of the ceiling. Shane is here.
Zach sat down and said, "I'm not your father." His tone was calm.
"Your blood is flowing on me~"
"You also have a blue soul." A vampire's child, haha, the soul is not so beautiful.
"Oh~ this~" the blue baby spun in a circle, "This is an interactive puppet~ It's just the effect of Soul Walker's father's ability~ I need a way to interact with the world~ Do you want to see my real soul? Father?"
"I don't want to," Zach replied.
"Look~"
Well, there is also this kind of wishful thinking in the father-son relationship.
Instead, the blue baby disappeared. It's just that something disappears, and nothing new appears.
Zach wasn't prepared to pay attention. It was Louise, "Where? Your soul."
"It's everywhere~" voices came from all directions, "The shadow man's father's ability~existence is my soul~"
