Back in Grande, James and Wes had left, and Zach discovered that 'Jian' was back.
"I thought you'd never come back. Where's Linda?"
"The things in this world are not finished yet, I will come back." 'Jian' replied, "As for the inheritor Linda, I have already gone to Cliff to explain that Linda will not return to this world. ”
Zach was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand, too lazy to pay attention, "Some things have happened in the past few days, do you need me to make it up for you?"
"please."
"The Holy Lord of the Holy Lord Faith is about to leave here with my help and go to the unknown world." Zach said casually.
'Jian' looked at Zach for a while and said, "Oh."
oh? This is gone. That's right, what Jian wants is the key to the door of heaven, not the Holy Lord. The two have nothing to do with each other.
Zach continued, "I tell you one thing, you tell me one thing, the exchange is fair and reasonable. Louise in the Republic tells you that your reputation among your republic gods is not very good, and you are willing to explain it to me. Just for a moment."
"Are you interested in my past?" 'Jian' asked.
"A little bit."
"Okay. The reputation is not bad, but it is a fact that they don't want to meet me. It is determined by my authority."
"So, you are indeed a tool used by the government to eliminate dissidents in the era when the republican government used the title 'Child of Heaven'?"
'Jian' was stunned for a while, "You can say that."
"Are you still working for the republican government?"
"It's my turn." 'Jian' actually still remembered the rules of the game, "Exchange one piece for another. I want to know what will happen to the world, heaven and hell, created by your Holy Lord after he leaves?"
"There are angels in heaven and demons in hell. Just do whatever you want." Zach answered quickly. In the past, he still maintained a trace of respect for God for 'Jian'. Now, it will not become the antonym of respect, but... At least the unnecessary worries are gone. This change in mentality is naturally due to Zach becoming the 'God Killer'. "Are you still working for the Republican government now?"
"If I were a descendant of Toledo in the Republic, I wouldn't remind you to be wary of me, right." 'Jian' is also very skilled. "What you mean is that the attributes of heaven and hell will not be affected by the loss of creation." It changes depending on the situation, right?”
"I don't understand what you mean by attributes. I can't answer this question. It's my turn." It was Zach who proposed this boring exchange game. Zach is of course more skilled than 'Jian', "Then what are you doing now? Working for the opposite side of the republican government?”
"The Republic is a peaceful country, and its government has no antagonists." 'Jian' is not bad either. After being perfunctory by Zach, he started to go around in circles, "It's my turn, I mean the way heaven and hell use time. .I must admit that the way Holy Lord uses time is very special. If I understand it correctly, hell is the accumulating past, and heaven is the infinitely stacked future, right. If the world is used as a container, Holy Lord's belief expands the world. The capacity is amazing to us. Now I wonder if such attributes will change due to the absence of its creator."
'Jian' should be determined to get a definite answer, asking the question again to get the answer, and adding explanations.
There are a lot of points in this explanation, about the way time is used, isn't it? We are just told by various characters as the story develops, and passively receive what heaven and hell are like. God is indeed God. Jian understands the nature of heaven and hell without anyone telling him.
But there is only one key point that Zach grasps, "We, you said 'let us marvel'. Who is 'we'? You said that the Republic is a peaceful country, and no one is against the republican government, so what is this 'we'" ?”
The game that Zach wanted to play, he destroyed.
'Jian' didn't care about the game anymore. He frowned, wrapped himself in mirrors and disappeared.
Ha, the short and inexplicable conversation is over. Zach enjoyed some peace and quiet for the second half of the afternoon, until... Alice and Maya came home from school.
Apparently the West Enders' confinement on their third generation was lifted. Laura, Kepler, and Caesar returned to Grande with the two girls.
As soon as the four girls entered Grande, they entered the room, leaving Caesar, the only boy, outside.
"Kepler and Jimmy are engaged, you know."
"Chris wanted to imitate Jimmy, but Sissy refused outright, you know."
"The school's psychological counseling office was packed today. Half of the couples in the school broke up. Did you know that?"
…
Yes, Zach’s Restless, is Caesar.
After being forced to listen to countless teenage gossips, Zach asked, "Does Ethela know you are in Grande?"
"Do you want to call her and get me away? Go ahead, I won't stop you."
Zach actually went directly to call Ethela.
The number Zach dialed was Ethela's home, and the person who answered the phone was Anthony, "What are you doing?"
Zach was stunned for a moment, and his raging desire for education ignited, "Anthony, do you know whose call you answered? Does your identity allow you to answer the phone at the home of a woman with a complicated social background? Anthony, you I’m so disappointed…”
"Shut up, I can see your Grande phone number on the screen. No one still uses your old phone anymore! Just say what you have to say, and don't disturb my work if you have nothing to do!"
Zach choked for a moment, and then immediately said, "Work? Anthony, do you really expect me to believe that you are working at Ethela's house?"
"Didn't you read the newspaper? I don't have a secretary anymore. I need an acting secretary. Now I'm discussing job offers with candidates. Do you have any opinions?"
Zach was choked again and continued tenaciously, "I have an opinion. Aesera already possesses the Sabbat Lesenbra and the blood of Hamilton. What you call human beings are in charge of humans, and aliens are in charge of aliens. On a full moon night Was the meeting with Benjamin a joke? Are you going to forget what I keep telling you not to let vampires infiltrate human politics? Still a Lesembra!"
"Then do you have any other better ways to prevent the Sabbat from planting vampires in my city government?"
Zach choked again. Thinking about it carefully, Anthony's logic is very clear. The Sabbat's desire to manipulate the Barton city government has never been concealed. If it weren't for Hamilton, the first Sabbat team to come to Barton, because of the existence of Zach, an unstable element, And was forced to deal with Zach first, who belonged to Allen Funeral Home. Think about it, if the Sabbat sends vampires to Barton again, this time, Zach, as the Sabbat Toledo, has been fully suppressed by Frank. Zach will not be able to stop the Sabbat from releasing vampires next to Anthony this time.
Well, the role of Aesela is very easy to use. Insiders in Barton all know that Aesela is one of their own who has taken on the identity of a descendant of Lesembra. If Anthony really lets Ethera become his secretary, on the one hand, the Sabbat will mistakenly think that it has controlled Mayor Barton, and on the other hand, it will be up to Ethera, a 'meaningful' woman, to face the Sabbat, Anthony It will also be very reassuring.
"Hey, are you okay? I'll hang up if you're okay." Anthony, who hadn't heard Zach's response for a long time, was about to hang up.
"Caesar is in Grande." Zach could only throw away the original intention of his call.
"Oh." The voice was out of range of the microphone, apparently speaking to someone in the background, "Caesar in Grande." Hang up.
After Zach heard the hang-up tone, he still held the receiver. Because Caesar was watching Zach on the phone at the door of the office.
After watching for a while, "Stop pretending, hang up already. Hum." Caesar turned around, entered Grande's family area, and knocked on the girls' doors.
Zach put down the receiver gloomily and looked at Caesar in the corridor knocking on Alice's door.
When Maya opened the door, she saw it was Caesar and rolled her eyes, "What are you doing! We are talking about girls, boys are not welcome!"
"Zach doesn't want me to be around either. I'm very sad right now and need some comfort from the opposite sex to soothe my heart that hurts because I'm not needed."
If he said something so disgusting, Zach thought Maya would just slam the door... Unexpectedly, Maya's face softened, "Well, come in." After saying that, he actually glared at Zach, and bang, slammed the door.
Zach was really not sure what he saw, shook his head, went to the kitchen, and started preparing dinner.
Not sure if Laura and the others would have dinner at Grande, Zach prepared some extra ingredients anyway, and just started to enjoy the uninterrupted cooking process, when a guest came.
"Do you need help?"
The guest did not receive permission, but had already entered the kitchen. Zach looked back at Leo, the gatekeeper of purgatory, and said, "No need."
"It just so happens that I can't cook either." Leo was straightforward. He leaned against the desk and said, "Don't you ask why I came to your place suddenly?"
Zach didn't look at the other party and continued cooking, "You guessed it, Benjamin started to inform everyone that in the future, when doing transactions in Thorin's nightclub, you must inform Thorin first, right?"
"Yeah." Leo nodded and crossed his arms. The crossed arms made a clicking sound. Remember, this gatekeeper of purgatory is a "stone" between eternal life and this world that is pushed forward by time. It remains unchanged forever and has no interaction with this world. "I think I need to explain to you my intention to trade your blood."
"No need." Zach seemed to have copied his previous response, "I guessed it, it's of no use to you, so it's better to sell it."
"No." Leo actually denied it. "Of course I don't need the healing function, but I can still use it for other purposes, such as dispelling some annoying souls. There is nothing better than vampire blood. Something.”
While Zach was stirring the things in the wok, he glanced sideways at Leo, really starting to talk, "Hey, are there still soul aliens who will harass you?"
"My physical form is this eternal body, what do you think?"
"Oh~" Zach raised his eyebrows, and the comparison between immortals appeared again, "That's really unfortunate~" Of course, in Zach's eyes, vampires are the only ones worth being proud of, and the others are all scum. Scum.
Leo frowned, the wrinkles between his brows were like those carved by a knife, and stared at the stir-fried Zach, "I heard that you just held Linda's funeral this afternoon. How is Cliff?"
"I don't know, I was called to the nightclub by Thorin on the way." Zach is not afraid that Leo will find other immortals to join the alliance, because we also understand that the immortality of the inheritors is even more funny and cannot be compared with vampires at all.
"I heard Cliff say in the nightclub yesterday that you have a republican god here who can help the inheritors get rid of the life cycle in this world. Is it true?"
Zach smiled, "Haha, this is the real reason why you came here, you want to meet the God of the Republic, right~"
"Yes. I'll explain to you that selling blood is just an excuse." Leo was so honest.
"Do you also want to leave this world where you can't interact with each other?" After finishing a dish, Zach put it on the plate and asked Leo with the sound of water sizzling while washing the pot.
"Yes." Continue to be honest.
Zach rewarded this honesty. When the new dishes were put into the pot, he said, "Let me tell you a secret, purgatory still exists, and the way to get there is in the hands of vampires." He looked at Leo specifically and said, "I have it now. If you want I can give you a ride back to Purgatory."
There are some things we know from God’s perspective. Don’t treat our information reserves as common sense.
Leo was stunned for a moment, "What did you say?!"
"The perfect vampire is the passage to purgatory where time does not exist created by the Holy Lord. 'Colt' is the blood of Fanzhuo that Papa accidentally weaponized in hell at midnight. Fanzhuo, the whole clan shares the blood of their ancestors. A vampire, no need for me to introduce him."
"And you have 'Colt' in your hand!" Leo naturally wouldn't be as curious about vampires, Holy Lords, Papa Midnight... He was very focused and only heard the parts he cared about.
"Yes~" Zach nodded, and the spatula turned over like a blooming flower, "As long as you ask, I will send you to purgatory, together with the secret I just told you~"
Well. Of course, Zack wouldn't just give away the secrets of vampires casually.
"You're not lying to me!" Leo immediately became wary. It's understandable, because basically Zack's proposal was to have Leo be shot by Zack with the 'Colt'.
Without this secret that cannot be verified by anyone, the common knowledge among all aliens is that Colt kills all living things.
Zach shrugged, "Is it good for me to lie to you? If my purpose is to use 'Colt' to kill your eternal 'partner' who poses no threat to me, I need to understand the meaning of the existence of my vampire race." Can I tell you a story?"
Leo opened his mouth and was speechless.
There should be no words. There is absolutely no question about what Zach said.
Another dish is done, Zach continues, there is nothing to be anxious about...
The mirror folded in the air out of thin air, and 'Jian' stepped out, "'We' refer to the gods who already have their own world." 'Jian' obviously picked up on its sudden farewell conversation, "Since you have If you realize it, I might as well tell you directly. Although we are gods, we are all born from this world after all. The world we create still retains the shadow of this world, and our use of time still imitates this world. Time advances endlessly. Therefore, we are very curious about how your Holy Lord uses time, so..." Jiandu said a lot, then turned around and found Leo who was no different from the statue, "Who are you... , when did you stand here?" (To be continued)
