Louise felt a little sympathetic to Old Hank. It’s the so-called humanitarian care—
Let's recall whether Louise and Old Hank had any exchanges of friendship. Not really. The two people obviously lived in the same place, but they never thought of exchanging life experiences or anything...
In fact, don't deny it, everyone is like this. People who are busy living their own lives don't have the time to exchange life insights with others, even if the people who can communicate are under the same roof as you. Oh, who can really learn any life experience from others. Life is really that simple, so just live in the same way and have different fireworks.
The most that people can do is to achieve the so-called sigh. To put it nicely, it means empathizing with each other and using the sentence "I feel the same as you" to find some warmth in each other. To put it bluntly, it means just watching, watching others make difficult choices on the forks in life, and calmly commenting that "either way is death."
Louise feels this way now. To be more hypocritical, she can stand with Old Hank and say, 'I used to be like this too. Vampires and hunters appeared in ordinary life. I didn't know what to choose, so I took a detour and chose a hunter. Finally, he came to the vampire in a roundabout way. '
If I'm not being pretentious, it's now, standing on the back porch, sipping my thermos, watching Winston corner old Hank.
Louise suddenly lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking, and walked towards Winston and Old Hank.
Winston only forced old Hank to give an answer and did not notice Louise's approach. Old Hank noticed it, and while avoiding Winston's gaze, he stared at Louise's eyes and said, 'What are you going to do? ! '
Louise had already walked behind Winston and patted him. The moment Winston turned around, she said, "You won't hear anything for the next minute."
Toledo's Charming Eye uses a false blank memory in advance to occupy the memory space in Winston's brain used to store events that will happen in the next minute.
When Louise looked at Old Hank, "I can help you."
Ah~ I missed it just now. In addition to empathizing and observing, there is another situation, which is this - there are always some people who think they are superior and take the initiative to guide other people's lives.
Old Hank said nothing.
Louise tilted her head, "Winston is also a novice Bai user, so if nothing else happens, he will either be picked by Kent to become Toledo, or he will be picked by Hughes Revro to become Revro. After all, anyone who can cause chaos in the Newton underground trading market can be considered a talent, and it will always be useful to keep him." Louise shrugged, "So Old Hank, let me summarize it for you, whether you want to stay in the country or not. Rand still went to his hotel, you went from one vampire to another." Louise gave Old Hank time to react.
One minute is quite a long time.
Old Hank's face began to look ugly.
Louise estimated that it was almost done, "Or, Winston will not become Toledo and Revro, but become your descendant."
Old Hank's face darkened.
What Louise said, "I can help you," was a suggestion, "Don't you still have Frank's favor in your hand, then... why not. Hank, all the difficulties you encountered in life are because of vampires, then, why What if you don’t take the initiative yourself? Think about it carefully.”
Louise glanced at Winston, who was still spending his blank memory, and said, "You still have half a minute." She turned around and left.
Louise... is encouraging Old Hank to accept Frank's 'repayment'? At least that’s what it looks like! reason? unknown.
Louise stopped staying on the back porch, returned to Grande, and went upstairs. When she passed the office, she saw Zach, who was still talking to Jason, giving him a puzzled look. Apparently Zach heard what Louise said to Old Hank and didn't understand what Louise meant.
Louise just shrugged and walked through the office to the rec room.
Jason in the office wanted to ask something, but he had already accepted that he might be the subject of gossip in the future. But accepting it doesn't mean that he is calm enough, and he is worried about what his future will be like.
Zach was trying his best to comfort Jason, but was interrupted by Louise's weird behavior, and suddenly stopped the topic of comforting Jason, "Jason, if you have the opportunity to become a vampire, would you be willing to become a vampire?"
Jason was not used to Zach's change of topic for a moment, and glanced at Zach nervously, "I... I can."
Zach frowned. He could hear the reluctance in Jason's mouth and waved his hand, "You don't have to do it just because I'm asking you. You answer like this just to take care of my face."
Jason hesitated for a moment, then spoke, "I'm not taking care of your face, I, I really do." He pursed his lips, "I was originally going to become a vampire." He lowered his head, "Become a vampire. Gro. I have already made this choice before."
Zach twitched the corner of his mouth, Sissy's fight club. Tsk, it was Zach who ignored this for a moment. I don’t blame Zach, we have also seen Gangaro in Fight Club, tsk, Terrorist Barton, remember. Louise was still a human at that time, and then because of the Banshee's prophecy, Louise was involved in the Gangero attack at the Fight Club in Liszt's Cozier's shop, and became a Gangero vampire. Motivating Zach to press Louise into making a quick choice, allowing Louise to become Toledo's process.
Zach really couldn't associate the violent and extreme nature of Gangro with Jason.
But Zach couldn't ignore the embarrassment in Jason's answer, "Then why do you look like you don't want to be a vampire?"
Jason glanced at Zach, the kind of person who would hide at the first touch, "I... I..."
"There's no rush." Zach calmed down, feeling that he was about to hear some secrets that he hadn't noticed before—
In fact, if we think about it, we can predict what Jason is going to say. Here's a hint, Zach was recognized in Newton by the human remnants of Fight Club.
Jason hesitated for a long time, "Zach, Zach, have you had any changes recently..."
Zach knew that his prediction was correct, and he sighed inwardly, while maintaining calm on the surface, "Yes, this is probably not the first time you have seen changes in me."
Jason nodded, and the expression on his face changed several times before making a decision, "When I saw you for the first time, I guessed that you were a vampire, but were you still..." Jason didn't seem to know. How to describe it.
Zach said for Jason, "I am also different from the Gangaro vampire you are familiar with."
Jason nodded again.
Because at that time, Zach hadn’t gotten Yehir’s last name from Sissi! Zack doesn't have imaging skills yet.
"Later, you became just like Gangluo, at least in my eyes..." Jason glanced at Zach again, "Now, you have changed back to your original appearance." Jason took a deep breath Once, he said, "I, the reason why I hesitated just now is that if there is really a chance for me to become a vampire now, I am not hesitating whether to become a vampire. I know one thing clearly - I don't want to become Gangro."
Zach did not show his vigorous curiosity for knowledge, and said lightly, "Oh? Why?"
"It's too... too ugly..." Jason lowered his voice.
Zach was stunned for a moment.
As a little person who knew something about the Barton alien race, but could only scratch the surface, Jason naturally couldn't know that the key to the Gate of Heaven was taken out of Toledo's body. The only time Jason had access to the core alien secrets was probably when he was a member of Fight Club. When he was brainwashed by Saint Sissi and became a member of an anti-social organization that used violence to purify the world.
Jason has the ability to directly identify vampires who were given a surname by Sissi.
"Ugly?" Zach had to ask, "The Gangero you saw was ugly?"
Jason shook his head quickly, "I, I didn't say Gangero was ugly..." Jason wanted to explain himself, but he didn't seem to have enough vocabulary, so he just tried to understand, "I, I don't know how to describe it, every time I see Gangero Luo, it’s like watching someone self-immolate…”
The corner of Zach's mouth couldn't hold it back and twitched.
"Scorched skin, rolled and blackened muscles, crackling bones..." Jason tried to describe it, with a look like he really didn't want to think about it carefully, "Really, it's ugly..."
Well. Therefore, ugly is not what we think it is. It is a subjective judgment word after an infinite amount of whitewashing of a picture that is "hard to look at".
Zach was surprised. It turned out that the vampire (image ability) holding the key to the door of heaven looked so terrifying in the eyes of a person like Jason
Thinking about it, it’s surprisingly understandable—it’s impossible for a vampire to set foot in heaven, and the essence of imaging ability is to regain the image of a human being, and the key to the door of heaven is to break through the time and space of this image. The fault connects to the current paradise.
Of course heaven will refuse to be contaminated by vampires, so let's burn it, the most basic manifestation of the laws of the world.
Zach looked at Jason, "But you've been watching me burn for at least a year, and you never thought of telling me?"
Jason blinked and looked at Zach, but he was confused, "You, don't you know? You saved me from Fight Club, but you also gave the two leaders of Fight Club, Sissi and Thomas... Gangro where Barton lived.”
Zach pursed his lips and understood. This is because Jason's self-positioning is too accurate. Jason never thought that he was in an important position. He thought that it was not the turn of a marginalized person like him to tell a core person like Zach something about some things.
Jason shook his head, "I always thought you knew."
Zach also shook his head, helpless. Let's turn to another chapter, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Now, if you look at me, I should be no different from everyone else. If I give you the choice of becoming a vampire, you won't want Gangro, right?"
Jason nodded.
Zach's question continued, "Now there are many vampires from the clan in Barton. Do you have any favorite type?"
Gee, the question was asked as if Jason could choose the bloodline of a vampire at will.
"I..." Jason no longer avoided Zach's gaze, but looked at Zach's face seriously. Jason was judging whether, in this situation, he should politely say 'I choose Toledo'. However, Zach said just now that there is no need to worry about his face. So, Jason was a little confused.
Zach noticed this confusion, "You don't have to think too much, let's just play it as a game. If you have a chance to choose, which clan do you want to be a vampire?"
"I'll be..." Let's call it a game, "Lesembra."
Zach controlled his expression, "Why?" Don't think that Zach was injured. Zach was prepared for this answer, and he will tell you the reason immediately.
"Very, very strong."
"Who told you that Lesembula was very strong?" Zach asked.
"Han, Hank..." Jason became cautious again.
I can tell you one thing. After Darcy left yesterday, didn't Zach go to the living area to find Jason to resolve the misunderstanding between him and Darcy
When Zach went there, Lesembra and Toledo were the topics that Old Hank and Jason were discussing.
So Zach was not surprised at Jason's answer at this time. Moreover, in fact, Zach suddenly asked Jason about becoming a vampire because of this topic - Louise seemed to want to encourage Old Hank to become Lesembra for some reason, and Zach wanted to find out what Old Hank's attitude towards Lesembra was. La's view. It was impossible to ask Old Hank. The only way was to test it from Jason, who had communicated with Old Hank.
Zach didn't care what was leaked, "Oh, Old Hank said this because Frank, yes, Lesembula's ancestor, gave Old Hank the proposal to become his descendant."
Jason blinked, "Really?" Then he became confused again, "But what old Hank told me yesterday was about Lesembra's use of force to exclude Indians in the entire western society..."
Zach didn't hear this last night, but now that he knows it, he can understand why Old Hank talked to Jason about Lesembra. But this is not the time to draw parallels between the social Indian situation in the West and Jason's situation in normal society, where he was viciously victimized by thugs.
Zach: "Then you would still choose Lesembula who is on the side of bullying others?"
"No, no..." Jason hurriedly shook his head in denial, "Old Hank just told me that because Lesembula is very strong, they have the power to bully and suppress other ethnic groups. If we, the weak, want to resist this suppression, You can only be stronger than powerful people, otherwise you won't be able to defeat him..." Jason automatically silenced himself. I don’t know if Old Hank was so straightforward when he said it, or if Jason’s ability to paraphrase was limited. Anyway, listening to these words, it was so bland and uninteresting.
Zach roughly understood. It doesn't feel good - Old Hank himself seems to have the consciousness of leaning towards Lesembra, and Louise is doing this. Isn't this pushing Old Hank to lean towards the 'second-generation Lesembra vampire who is more powerful than Zach' What
Zach stood up and said, "See for yourself." Zach wanted to talk to Louise. (To be continued)
