Wednesday.
Nothing interesting happens on Tuesday, so skip that. Wednesday morning was quite boring, so we started in the afternoon -
Zach spent a lot of time finding someone to order a custom-made mirror and it was delivered. 'Jian' took one look and said, "It's ugly, but it's okay." He slapped the mirror, and before Zack could feel sorry for himself, the money he spent shattered to pieces, leaving only the frame - I remember the fax from Republic. Those who are familiar with the information will probably still remember that this mirror with the mythological significance of the Republic has a very special frame, with unique marks printed on the wide frame. The marks of 'Heaven's Secret' can be revealed by arrangement and combination.
After the mirror is shattered, these marks converge towards the center of the hole in the frame, and then a stream of light like dazzling colors bounces out from the broken mirror fragments scattered on the ground. After a dizzying rush, he rushed out of Grande. Streams of light rushed into the sky, and then headed west (Barton is the easternmost city in the Federation).
Zach instantly had an ominous premonition, as if he had done something that would affect the entire federation.
"'Jian'?"
'Jian' didn't even ask Zach what he wanted to ask, "It's too late to regret. I have taken over the federal authority to present and identify all images."
Zach frowned, "You took advantage of me."
"Relax, until now, the only creatures in the Federation that use images to deceive the world are you and some of your descendants, plus the Gangeros who believe in the (Holy Lord) saints... Wait a minute, there seem to be many people in the central part of the Federation who hold the same position as you. Vampires with the same abilities." (Assamat, who shares the surname with Toledo)
The word "jian" is very interesting. It says that the image ability obtained by vampires is to deceive the world. This is completely opposite to Frank's statement of "being treated favorably by the world because of the images he presented"~
Zach has no time to delve into whether the ability to image is a positive or negative thing for the world. Now he is just unhappy that Jian used him, "What do you mean." Zach is regretting that he shouldn't be here yet. Before understanding the ability of 'judgement', agree to its request. The result now seems to have entered the category of God, and Zach cannot reverse it.
"It means that my ability is in the Federation, and now it is only useful to these vampires with the ability to deceive images. You don't have to bear any guilt. You have not completely changed the living conditions of the foreign races in the Federation. What they will see when they look in the mirror will not be used in the future. You’ll still see the same thing.”
These words make people feel uneasy, "What about the vampires, including me, who have the ability to image?"
"I didn't reveal your girlfriend's true identity in your Barton newspaper, did I?"
Zach frowned, "Can you reveal our true colors (vampires with imaging abilities)?"
"Want to try it?"
"No." The ominous premonition came true, and Zach was now aware of the threat. Very targeted threats.
Hey, the application of the image ability has just been understood a little bit, and the god who restrains this ability appears? *, The world doesn’t love Zach anymore.
"Don't forget, it was me who took the initiative to contact you, Federal Vampire Zachary Toledo. I am not your enemy." There was no sincerity in Jian's words. The real sincerity is that after it appeared in Grande, it bluntly stated the reason why it wanted to find Zac. Instead, it tricked Zac into helping it control all the images of the Federation before revealing its purpose...
No, it hasn't stated its purpose yet. 'Jian' waved his hand again, and the mirror fragments on the ground including the frame disappeared. "You have completed your promise, it's my turn to complete mine." Appeared in the air He flipped the mirror over and wrapped it around the 'Jian' that had just finished speaking. It seemed to have escaped into another dimension and disappeared in front of Zach's eyes.
Zach didn't wait long before the flipped mirror appeared again, "I've seen the body in your Grande basement. Are you ready to hear my identification of that body?"
Zach has been waiting for this appraisal for two days, so of course he is ready. However, if you don’t ask about some things now, I’m afraid you won’t have the chance to ask in the future. “When you asked me to make you a mirror, you said it was for the convenience of movement. But now you still disappear and appear at will as before. Is there any difference? Did you lie to me all this?"
"I'm not lying to you. Haven't you noticed? The way I disappear and appear now is different from before." Flip the mirror over and cover Jian's body again, "Look, this is the mirror you made for me."
Zach's sight was a little confused, because due to the refraction of the mirror, the 'jian' using Hannah's shape was cut into countless parts in the mirror that flipped out of thin air at various angles. Zach was not sure where he should look. A mirror.
But... this does look like the mirror fragments that just shattered on the ground...
Zach frowned, "I can only say that the way you appear and disappear now is even more inhuman."
Let's put it this way, the way 'Jian' appeared before - appearing directly from behind Zach to speak, was at best startling. Now? If you saw a bunch of mirror fragments floating in the air, with a vague image of a woman among them, would you be shocked? You'll be scared to death. Do you all remember Hannah who was once in the basement cell of the Southern District Police Station? The human who was fortunate enough to come into contact with the God of the Republic for the first time in the Federation was so frightened that her motor nerves were completely disordered~
"I am not a human being." Jian's response was simple, "But I understand your concerns. You don't want me to cause panic in human society, so I can tell you responsibly. Only in this way, I will be in the Federation Only by having my own entity can I avoid causing panic to human society."
"Please clarify my doubts." Zach showed his willingness to listen carefully.
"You probably still don't understand how I came to the Federation." 'Jian' took back the flip mirror covering its body, "I told you, I saw Louise's photo, so I came." He paused at this point, as if he was deliberately giving time to see if Zach could react on his own.
Zach frowned, reading the intention of 'Jian', and tried his best to run his mind, trying to draw a conclusion... failed.
'Jian' did not embarrass Zach, "I didn't come to the Federation completely before. The me you saw before, like the Louise you saw in the newspaper, was a part of the picture intercepted from reality."
Zach's head tilted to one side unconsciously, as if he understood, but also as if he didn't understand anything.
'Jian' continued, "The photo of Louise was taken at Fenway Park in Barton, and the image of Louise in the photo is within my authority, so I have access to control the image in the photo. Using this passage, I arrived at Barton’s Fenway Park…”
Zach suddenly interjected as if he had an epiphany, "You didn't come to the Federation from reality, you came from the world of images!"
'Jian' probably thought that something so obvious was not worthy of praise, so he continued without even nodding, "Then, Louise's image does not only exist in newspaper photos. I quickly discovered that besides Fenway Park, In addition to the static photos, dynamic images—videos—continue from Fenway Park to the Grand. I followed this recorded image world to the Grand." Looking at Zach, he paused again.
Well, Zach has completely understood it now, and his face is filled with indescribable helplessness, "The video I took in Grande is the same as the video where Louise's image is." Uh, the two images are in the same frame. , "Let you find me."
Now 'Jian' nodded, "Initially I could only appear in certain specific places in Barton through Louise's image." Does this still need an explanation? Mirrors, shop windows on the street, water... We can have an encounter with our images, and fiddle with the place where we have our hair style~ These specific places, say more or less, but the most important thing is, "You are here Does Grande think that I seem to move freely, disappearing when I want and appearing when I want? That’s because these locations are continuously photographed into the world where you and Louise’s images are. Leave Grande , you will find that I will appear and disappear like a ghost. I can't even control where I want to appear."
Zach pursed his lips. This should be the difficulty of movement mentioned by 'Jian' before - it can only move where Zach and Louise's images are formed, except for the continuous line from Fenway Park to the Grand. of video recording. Tsk tsk tsk, ghost, imagine that.
Zach continued to ask, "So this entity allows you to move completely freely?"
"Isn't it~" 'Jian''s mood seemed to have changed very well after showing off his 'miracle', "Do you know what 'not asking for help' means? I don't need the images created by humans or nature in reality. The imaging location is here, I carry my own mirror with me~Isn’t that how I move freely~”
Zach seemed to have grasped a certain point, and the corners of his mouth twitched, "You print your own inhuman image to create a place where you can move freely in reality?" Think about this sentence carefully.
Jian's good mood disappeared instantly and he stared at Zach without saying a word.
Zach also immediately realized that putting gods and all non-human alien races together would offend the other party. "Tell me the results of the appraisal." This was such a tough topic change, but there was nothing I could do about it.
'Jian' continued its silent stare for a while, and when it spoke, its gaze was placed on Zach's chest - that is, you can clearly realize that the person you are talking to does not want to look at you, but just politely places his gaze on you. The direction you are in, this feeling.
"The corpse lying in the basement of your Grande is that of a vampire."
Tsk.
Only an outsider from the Republic of China could make such a foolish appraisal. There is no common sense at all. Everyone in the Federation knows that the corpse of a vampire is ash, the kind of ash that can fly all over the sky when blown.
Zach was silent for a while, "Why did you make this identification?"
'Jian' still didn't look at Zach and asked, "What is the definition of a vampire?"
"The definition given to us by the Holy Lord is a corrupted soul."
"That's it." 'Jian' answered extremely quickly, "What's left after the soul has been corroded." He glanced up and gave Zach a look that showed no emotion, "Meets this definition, he is not a vampire, he is What?"
Zach frowned and gave Jian enough respect and patience, "You are from the Republic. You don't need to use the federal alien definition to identify a species." It means don't worry about the definition, that is a matter of the Holy Lord's faith. , your belief in the Holy Lord has nothing to do with it, so there is no need to cooperate.
"There is no species similar to this in the Republic." 'Jian' responded quickly again.
"Then tell me all the details you see."
'Jian' did not respond immediately this time, and glanced at Zach again, "Okay." It started, "First of all, the soul, the traces of soul corrosion are exactly the same as the vampire, your true appearance now in my eyes."
Zach should have expected it. As soon as the identification result of "Vampire" was thrown out at the beginning of the 'identification', Zach knew that he was going to be prepared for a personal attack. really-
"Ugly, unbearable." From the moment he came to Grande, Jian never cared about the senses of Zach, the master of Grande, right? "I can clearly see the trauma left by the disappearance of the soul imprint... "
Regardless of his upbringing or his pursuit of the truth, Zach will not care about any attacks and concentrate on what he cares about, "Did she experience any physical pain?"
"Sick? No, I haven't talked about my body yet, don't interrupt." Well, Zach can endure it, so everyone should endure it too! Please ignore the attitude of 'Jian', "It is a trauma caused by the imbalance between soul imprint and body memory."
"Wait a minute, the mismatch between soul imprint and body memory will cause trauma?" As the master of Charming Eyes, how come Zach doesn't know about this kind of thing... No, it's not that Zach doesn't know, it's him as the master of Charming Eyes. , deliberately ignoring this trauma.
Does Susan remember that Zach’s false memory gave her a ridiculously wrong perception of real time? The result? Susan went crazy and stayed in a nursing home for almost half a year! There are also Brian and Ryan, who were given perverse and childish personalities by Ian's incompletely mastered charm eyes! There is still an infantile child personality in the body of an adult!
This is not what trauma is. To put it simply, people who play with fire as a profession ignore fire, which is a dangerous thing. So, don’t pay too much attention to this matter, everyone is like this, it’s just a matter of degree.
'Jian''s answer is a bit spiritual, "In the human body that has grown into an adult, there is no trace of the soul imprint of childhood. When I look at her, I feel like I am looking at an artificial product with no origin. "
Zach wasn't going to ask how Jian could tell, because he probably wouldn't understand if he asked, "What about her body? Is there anything special about her body?"
"She has the same self-healing ability as a vampire." He glanced at Zach and said, "Better than you."
Zack originally wanted to say, 'If you can't heal yourself, your own self-healing ability is definitely not a vampire's self-healing', but think about it.
"And obviously this ability does not belong to her, it is a foreign object." 'Jian' shook his head, "This overly powerful foreign ability has taken away the human self-healing ability in her body."
Zach interjected, "Are you saying that it was the vampire's self-healing ability that destroyed her human immunity, causing her to suffer from those diseases, which eventually led to her death?"
"Are you surprised? You are a vampire. Do you think your current self-healing ability has not destroyed your original human body functions?"
Zach had never thought about this question... did he need to? Who would miss their tractor after owning a tank
'Jian' snorted, "Humans' self-healing ability begins to decline after the body completes development, turning into aging in the human mouth. Have you aged after becoming a vampire?"
Well, let us accept this conclusion. The self-healing ability of vampires will destroy... let's change the word - replace, replace the original self-healing of humans.
'Jian' saw that Zach remained silent and continued -
"The external self-healing ability is still keeping her body like a human corpse." Before Zach spoke, "Vampire blood. Strictly speaking, with the degree of decay of her corpse, it is no longer blood, but it maintains the appearance of a human corpse." The effect of living in a biological form is still there, just like the effect of relying on the blood in your body to prevent it from decaying into a pile of black ash. "Zach is immortal! Zach is fair and beautiful! "Aren't you unwilling to admit that it is a vampire's corpse? You can drain her blood thoroughly. You will see a vampire corpse that matches your expectations." Gray!
However, this is not something that Zach can verify. Before Derek sent the project information of the Sabbatzimish medical experiment and Zach obtained more 'samples', Grandri's body , keep it for Craig... (To be continued)
