'Jian' looked at Zach for a long time, "I've said so much, do you care that it's just a republican word that you don't understand?"
"Why should I care about what I can understand? There are tens of millions of worlds?" Zach also didn't seem to understand Jian's question. "I know, soul expansion has shown me the world created by the soul. Thousands of worlds exist." Ten thousand? I still think it’s less.”
'Jian' shook the baby Linda in his arms again, "Oh." He actually stopped caring about Zach and looked back at Cliff, "Accept my proposal, and I will give you a new world that you can explore, inheritor."
Cliff looked a little hesitant, but the baby in Jian's arms raised his little arm and shook it.
The smile on 'Jian''s face also returned, "Are you accepting it? If so, blink~"
The baby blinked, "Good boy~" 'Jian' looked at Cliff again, "You can think about it, we have plenty of time."
Reasonable. Baby Linda, who now has little choice, will unconditionally accept any offer that can free her from Cliff. The reason is that Linda has no choice. As an adult with the ability to act independently, Cliff will naturally not agree to anything immediately.
Cliff glanced at Zach, who answered for Cliff, "At least these days, Cliff has to arrange the funeral." After gesturing to Cliff, he looked at 'Jian', "Why do you Don’t take Linda to see those worlds of yours first.”
"Is that okay?" Jian asked Cliff. After all, legally, baby Linda is still Cliff's child.
Cliff's face was gloomy for a while, then he nodded, "Whatever."
'Jian' nodded and said to Zach before leaving, "To answer your question, I don't know how to explain what the 'inner demon' is, but I can give you an example. You are the heart of Lutre Sembra. Demon. Feel it for yourself." After saying that, the mirror wrapped the space where 'Jian' was and disappeared.
Zach and Cliff were alone in the office.
Zach felt the words 'You are the inner demon of Lutresembula', and his mood improved inexplicably~~ I can't explain how this change of mood occurred, but it happened anyway.
While he was in a good mood, Zach patted Cliff and said, "You may have found something really cheap. There is a saying in the Republic that officially recognized Republican gods like 'Jian' have their own world. You and Lin Da, maybe the rest of my life will be at the level of gods~"
Cliff did not respond to Zach's remarks and looked like he wanted to leave. "I have discussed the details of the funeral with Louise at the hospital before. Just follow it." After lifting it, he no longer needed to hold it. The baby's hand, "Linda is no longer in my hands, and I don't have to stay here to stimulate her with funerals..." Alas, Cliff was also honest and did not hide his evil, "I, I went home..."
Zach pulled Cliff, who was really about to leave, and said, "Take Shane away." Zach did not forget Shane, who was still chatting enthusiastically with Ryan in the backyard.
Cliff's eyes twitched, but he still complied with Zach's request. After going downstairs, he waved to the center of the backyard, "Let's go."
Shane was a good boy and floated back to Cliff without saying anything. Anyway, Zach had made it very clear early on that Zach didn't want to bear all the responsibilities of being Shane's father.
Just like when they arrived, Shane and Cliff disappeared directly after walking out of the range where they could be seen. Zach didn't forget the phone call he wanted to make when he was interrupted, and went upstairs, preparing to go back to the office and call Stone Manor.
"That Sean, when will you come to Grande again?" Ryan, who had never tried to talk to Zach and got good results, made another brave attempt.
Zach didn't need to deliberately mock anything and kept walking upstairs, "What? Have you established a new friendship?"
"Humph, I haven't fallen to the point of being friends with a baby. It's just that he just told me a little bit about my family, and I haven't listened to it yet."
Zach stopped on the stairs, "From your house? Sibella and Ravenci?"
"Do you want to know?" Ryan looked at Zach indifferently.
"No, not at all." Zach walked up again, and Ryan ignored whatever he said. Ryan, the air of Grande again.
Zach picked up the receiver and started dialing.
It got through, but Zach waited until the beep to leave a message came on. It was impossible for Zach to say anything related to alien races in the message, "I am Zachary Grande. I am looking for Blake...or Jason. I hope you can come to Grande to meet me when you have time."
Zach put down the phone, hesitated for a while, and decided not to call the city government so as not to alarm Anthony. Why? Anthony is very rebellious and doesn't want Zach to interfere in Barton's municipal affairs, remember. Only when Anthony takes the initiative to ask Zach about something, Zach can get feedback from direct communication with Anthony. Zach's initiative is usually ignored or rejected by the mayor. Zach didn't want to test the rebellious psychology of his stubborn human friend in the current situation.
Zach left the office again, because it was foreseeable that Cliff would not pay attention to the funeral of adult Linda, which meant that all the work was arranged by Grande. Zach needs help.
I went to the living area to arrange the excavation of the cemetery and the selection of the coffin, and then sent someone to the church to arrange the funeral process... After completing the funeral preparations, Linda's body was brought back. Zach, who had nothing to do, started grooming himself.
The adult Linda's death was not peaceful. The employee who took the body back said while helping Zach place the body on the stone platform in the basement, "Thank the Lord for not leaving such a fatal job to a man."
Yes, to ordinary people, the Linda in front of them is one of countless women who died in order to give birth to a new life.
If Zach explains to these ordinary people: Linda's death is not because she gave everything for a new life, how dedicated she is, but on the contrary, the ferociousness of this body and the pain of childbirth she experienced at the end of her life are more The dedication had nothing to do with it, it was purely selfish. In the last moments of her adult life, Linda was desperately resisting the flow of her life into the body of a newborn with no ability to survive. Zach has explained the inheritance ethics thoroughly, and probably no one can understand it...
Gee, Zach himself doesn’t quite understand. First of all, the person who took the body back was right. The work of giving birth to new life is not a man's work. Physically, Zach lacks a certain awareness. Secondly, the 'reproduction' of vampires makes Zach even less able to understand the dedication or selfishness of ordinary creatures towards life.
A vampire's definition of reproduction is to choose the human you like and share eternal life! Dedication? Selfish? A vampire doesn't lose anything by giving immortality to others, so what does it give? What about terrible dietary needs.
Vampires can expand their population through clans, and their development to this day has absolutely nothing to do with selfishness. At least we know that Giovanni in the Western Sabbat is overpopulated, to the point where one of Zach's jobs at Vega is to reduce Giovanni's population in front of Giovanni. It's just that Zach didn't do the job.
Zach's feelings about Linda's body were subjectively sympathetic, but objectively had nothing to do with me. Anyway, it's not an attitude that can inspire enthusiasm for work, and knowing that Cliff no longer cares about the funeral, Zach's policy for the adult Linda's body arrangement is... just passable.
The wounds that need to be sutured need to be nailed so that they can be covered by clothes. The wounds that will be exposed, such as the scars on the wrists, neck, and forehead that seem to have been restrained, should be covered directly with powder. One layer is not enough to cover two or three layers. layer…
"Have you realized that I won't write about you anymore, and your actions will not be recorded and turned into a book, so you started cutting corners."
Zach looked back at the person on the stairs, it was Madison.
Zach turned back and continued his perfunctory work, "You won't write about me?"
Madison walked down, got closer, and looked at the person Zach was working with, "Is this... Linda? Is she giving birth?"
Zach glanced at Madison again. Of course, every time Zach looked at Madison, he would only look at one point of hair. Madison was wearing a hat at this time, but his sideburns were still exposed, and his black hair could be seen. I just don’t know if it was dyed or the original color.
Since he couldn't draw a conclusion by looking at it, Zach asked directly, "Do you need to get closer here now to see that this is Linda?"
Madison still looked at Linda, "Yeah."
Zach frowned, huh? Didn’t Madison look at the present existence from the future
"When did you stop writing about me? When you stopped sharing the manuscript?" Zach continued to ask, Madison, a little weird. Zach had an ominous premonition.
"No, but it's not far off. It was you who came back from Newton and went to Sissi's place to ask for the removal of what was buried in the imaging ability..."
"The key to the door of heaven?" Zach was not in the mood to listen to Madison slowly review the past.
Madison was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head with a look on his face, but his words were, "Yeah."
Again, eh.
Zach frowned, "What are you here for?" As he said this, he handed Madison a powder cake in his hand, which meant that no matter what you came for, when you come, just fulfill the obligations of Grande's subordinates. Responsibility, work!
Madison actually accepted the powder powder from Zach's hand honestly. He stared at Linda's body for a while and found a few areas of skin that needed to be replenished. He started to work, "I'll make an appointment for West. Of the cemetery.”
It was Zach's turn to be stunned, and simply put all the work in Madison's hands, "Is she going to die?"
"No, but she's ready to leave." Madison didn't resist. Anyway, he took over the job from Zach. He was already very familiar with it~ wasn't it, a mill.
"Leave? Where to go?" The reason Zach didn't say go back was because Madison didn't use the word 'go back'.
Madison shrugged, "A world beyond the control of time."
"What world?" Zach's ominous premonition became more and more intense. Zach did not forget what Frank said. The complete form of a vampire is the passage for the Holy Lord to go to purgatory. Purgatory is a world without time! Frank is in danger!
"It's not purgatory." It seems that Madison does not need to be reminded of the information before the key to the door of heaven appears. Madison glanced at Zach, "You don't have to worry about Frank..." Madison curled her lips, "You don't have to worry about any aliens in this world now. West is not going to any world we know, heaven. , hell, this world, purgatory, any world connected by time is not her choice. She is going to a new world."
Zach looked at Linda's body and then at Madison. Zach now had an inexplicable and ridiculous idea. Taking baby Linda to see the world would meet West... the Holy Lord.
Madison didn't know what Zach was thinking. He seemed to have lost the ability to look at the present from the future. He glanced sideways at Zach, "What's your expression?" Then he felt an inexplicable distress, "Why did you put on such a ridiculous expression after I stopped writing about you? I've long been tired of your kind of stuff. They all have a confident and superior personality. I have always wanted to destroy you. Gee, you are such a nasty guy."
Zach opened his mouth and looked at Madison speechlessly, "I'm not asking you not to write. You can continue writing."
Madison was quiet for a while after hearing this. After a while, he slightly shook his head and said, "We'll see then."
Zach didn't want to encourage Madison to do anything, so he got to the point, "So, Ms. West is going to a new world. Didn't you come here just to tell me this inexplicable news?" Zach was really afraid that something seemed to be missing. The capable Madison couldn't understand her own words, "You can explain it in detail."
Madison sighed, "Of course." He shook his head, "West wants to get rid of her cookies." He paused to see if Zach had thought of it. As a result, Zach looked intently waiting for the follow-up. Madison lowered her lips and continued to explain while powdering Linda, "Since her last heart surgery, she accepted that she is the Holy Lord." I don't know why she is angry. He glared at Zach and said, "Then in my book manuscript, the conversation between you and Frank kept saying, 'She will die, she will die in this world like a human being, because the black cat she has raised for many years is always there. to steal power from her godhead'."
Zach also twitched his lips. Looking back on some things now, it is true that Zach was a little unkind. All of us know that all of Zach’s life will be written into the manuscript by Madison. Although Zach has shown with practical actions that he will not touch any events related to West, he will give this Holy Lord who exists in the form of a human old woman The highest peak of faith and the respect a vampire deserves. However, everyone around Zach, except Zach, showed no respect.
Was it only Frank who said this about West? Even the Newton Angel has expressed the attitude of the current situation in heaven. The angel Crowley only cares about the heaven she has filled now and does not want to care about the angels trapped in the Republic. For the angels in Newton, the current heaven is their heaven, and it has something to do with the Holy Lord’s faith, eh, and the teachings of the Holy Lord’s faith? We saw with our own eyes that the murderers in Newton were promised to enter heaven! (To be continued)
