On Friday morning, Zach finally ended his all-night phone call with Louise...
Suspend the current time process, did you miss something in yesterday's schedule? Don’t worry, we didn’t miss a thing—Zac and a bunch of vampires didn’t find Sibera in the sanatorium, nor did he see the souls of the wizards who were supposed to be in the sanatorium.
Zach then took people to Pochi Quinn's home. After Pochi looked at the vampire group led by Zach one by one with a critical eye, he said, "Sibella is not a patient in my sanatorium, those souls are more No, so don’t ask me for help.”
Zach dismissed everyone and went home.
Back to the present.
The all-night phone call with Louise only took so long after Zach made sure it wouldn't affect Louise's schedule - Louise's residence was arranged by Eli Toredo, and Eli didn't have a day trip. Ability, unable to move during the day in the Republic, only going out to cause trouble at night. Therefore, Louise and Zach's all-night phone calls on federal time had no impact on the Republic side at all.
This phone call was too long, and too much of it was about the long-separated couple... flirting, so I won't repeat it. Just summarize the key points.
First, Zach told Louise about the summer activities at Rept High School, and Louise agreed.
Second, Louise told Zach a surprising fact—Anthony’s secretary Gina, in the Republic, was in the hands of the Secret Alliance, manufacturing drugs that suspend the life process: behind the scenes of 'Xiaobai', it was the Secret Alliance ! Zagar and Eli are working together to investigate the motives of the covert alliance.
Third, Zach asked what happened to the fall of the Angel of the Republic. Louise answered that it was Zagel who deliberately set a trap for Angel in order to break into the Secret Alliance. Tens of thousands of high-level angels were deceived and chose to return to the Federation in a depraved way, greatly reducing Fan Zhuo's pressure. Zagel used this gift to successfully gain Fanzhuo's trust and is now a member of the Secret Alliance.
For a moment, Louise was obviously relaxed when talking about Zagar. After Zach said, "Oh, has Zagar entered the Sabbat? Then you are with Eli now, aren't you with Zagar again?" Did Zager miss it? What a pity, you will like Zager very much~" After such remarks, Louise changed her tone and said, "Oh, my dear boyfriend, you are so cute."
The interruption ends.
Fourth, Papa Midnight’s situation in the Republic. The alien races in the Republic hate this witchcraft god extremely. Every time Papa Midnight sends out the dead werewolf to act in the Republic, he will be blocked by the alien races in the Republic. In addition, Ian Toledo, under Papa Midnight, has reached an agreement with the republican government. They have formed some kind of cooperative relationship, so now on the table, the best federal alien force in the Republic is actually Papa Midnight, who frequently joins forces with the Republican government and participates in the liquidation activities of the Republican aliens.
Fifth, the Holy Lord faith has some reserves in the Republic, and there are also some churches among the people in the Republic. But this Holy Lord belief is a bit weird, because there is no such thing as an earth-binding spirit in the Republic, and the Holy Lord belief in the Republic has no support from heaven and hell, which is a bit like a joke.
There is no sixth.
Zach put down the receiver and spent a few seconds summarizing the state of power in the Republic. He realized that what really affected Barton was probably the truth about 'Xiao Bai'. Why would the Secret Alliance come up with this drug? Uh, how did the Secret Alliance come up with this drug? The only research clan in the Secret Alliance, Rimmer, is in the Federation!
Unable to think too much, Zach called Allen Funeral Home and told Hamilton the news about Gina. You all still remember that Hamilton was investigating Gina's disappearance. This case, which can reveal the truth about why Anthony's election was deliberately manipulated, has made no progress at all, except for the success of James and the darkening of Ford's funeral. .
Now that Hamilton got the news from Zach, he said with a tone of resignation, "Oh, she is in the Republic, and she is still in the hands of the Secret Alliance, perfect, a place I can never touch, perfect. I, I, I... "The thing I can't say is probably, 'It's really useless! '
Zach comforted, "No, Hamilton, you have to understand one thing. The Gina incident shows that the Secret Alliance is trying to manipulate Barton's mayoral election. The Secret Alliance does not want Anthony to be mayor. I don't need to remind you, we Sabbat need Anthony is the mayor, right? The current situation is that we have discovered all the information that Gina’s clues can give us, and it’s time to do something with this information.”
"do what?"
"Isn't Zagel created by your father, Root? Zagel is now part of the Secret Alliance, tell me what to do?"
"I...even if you say that, I don't know what to do..."
"Then ask your father, his creation, his responsibility. I believe you use the right opening words and he won't hang up on you so quickly." Zach gave the final suggestion and hung up the phone.
Alice has been waiting at the door of the office for a while, "We made an appointment with Laura to go shopping after school today to buy clothes for the prom."
Zach knew that although Alice was talking about today, she was actually talking about the entire weekend itinerary that would allow him to have this guardianship. Zach could expect not to see Alice or any of the teenagers throughout the weekend, " Okay, stay safe.”
Alice did not leave. She gave a rare twist and said, "The Firefly family..."
After Zach came back yesterday, he naturally told Alice what happened in the Tower of Babel. You don’t need to think about these things with bitterness and hatred, just think that Zach told Alice that the family that abandoned you when you had no way to protect yourself will be sanctioned in the adult world.
Alice didn't show much when I told her yesterday. She must have some ideas after a night today. Zach did not disturb the girl's hesitation and let Alice finish her words, "If the Firefly family meets again in the future, will you, um, will, will, kill them all?"
"I don't know." Zach answered honestly, "If there really is a war between wizards and vampires, no one can guarantee anything."
"Then, if possible, I want to be there." This should be the answer Alice had thought up all night long, "Of course, when the situation permits, if the situation is too critical, there is no need..." Although she had thought about it, But obviously he is not sure either. What can you expect, girls will be girls after all.
"Yes, I can promise this, if the situation permits." Zach nodded.
Alice also nodded and left.
Within a few seconds, Maya arrived and handed Zach a note without saying anything, "The list of wizards who abandoned me."
Zach unfolded the note, and the densely packed names made Zach's face twitch. Before Zach could speak, Maya said, "Kill them all, leaving no one behind."
Zach pursed his lips and closed the note, "It's impossible for such a person to abandon you. You understand that the biological characteristics of human beings are that you can only have one biological parent." Zach's meaning is very simple. If an angry, being If the abandoned child wants to vent his anger, then only the irresponsible parents deserve to be hated, and there is no need to involve so many innocent people...
"There is no innocent person here!" Maya didn't need a vampire to teach her common sense about human biology. "Everyone here has made it very clear that they hate my existence. I am only 16 years old. I will only I say I don’t care when I’m pretending, but I still remember the faces of each of them! Kill them and let them feel the feeling of having others determine the meaning of life, and I give you this permission!”
Zach didn't want to say anything else and threw the note into the drawer. After the girls went to school, they enjoyed a half-day of peace and quiet.
noon.
While Zach and Roy were performing Grande's lunch, a human who hadn't been to Grande for a long time visited Grande again. It's Winston.
This guy seems to have lost a lot of weight... It's not accurate to say that. The change in his body shape is a change from fat to thin. He is smaller, but he has lost the useless fat that ordinary middle-aged men are accustomed to.
This guy was already very familiar with Grande. When he arrived, he found Zach making lunch and joined him directly, "You asked your descendant Kent to find me?"
"Well, you've been missing for a few days." Zach was also happy to see that lunch would not be wasted.
"I'm not missing, I'm going to... uh, prepare myself." Winston raised his chest and raised his head once. In the eyes of a person like Roy Zmich, whose body shape often changes in various involuntary postures, It’s just a simple show off, “I want eternal life.”
This is what Zach has been waiting for for a long time~"Good choice~"
"This is not a choice." Winston turned back and glanced at the initiator of the show lunch - Hank. You should remember who asked Zach to make a completely wasteful lunch every day, right? It was the old human Hank. . So Hank has no reason to avoid this kind of performance. When he was still human, he was waiting impatiently for food in the restaurant like this, and now he has to spend his lunch like this.
Winston looked away, "If I don't become a vampire, I will die after eating 'Xiaobai'." This is very realistic. When a life question without options appears, it is called a question and answer question. Either you write down the single correct answer, or you answer incorrectly.
But as long as Winston answered the prerequisite questions correctly, there were still multiple-choice questions. Zach asked, "Have you decided whose descendant you will be? Kent (Toledo), Hughes Revero (New York) Don Refro), Hank (Lesembra)?”
We've talked about this, and Zach's biggest wish is naturally for Winston to choose to be Hank's descendant. Although Toledo and Revero both have visible benefits from a guy like Winston who can cause trouble in Newton, we also understand that for Zach, not everything is as it seems. Benefits, Zach's vision is very far.
Winston looked back at Hank. Hank didn't move, and he acted very conscientiously as a manic-depressive old man waiting for dinner.
"I still have some 'Xiaobai' in stock, and I also know where my expiration date is." The deadline here is that the 'Xiaobai' can only be used safely a few times. Anyway, it means that he still has time to choose.
It’s a good mentality to have this kind of awareness.
Zach started asking casual questions, "How's your hotel going?"
"It's a roadhouse, so what?" Winston answered, and said, "That Richie always sends some random customers over to stay." This didn't sound like a complaint.
Zach asked further, "Is Chaos an inhuman alien?"
"Yeah." Winston nodded, "As long as they pay according to the rules, I have no problem with it. But I don't like it when they often ask me about things I don't know yet. I'm still a human being, psychologically. Physically, physically, sometimes everyone forgets that.”
This seems like a complaint.
Zach roughly understands this mentality. In fact, it's a bit similar to Nuo's situation. Nuo is a human, but because of his relationship with Zach, he knows about the existence of alien races. Knowing doesn't mean he has adapted. Then when Nuo applied ordinary human common sense to Zach, he found that his life experience was loaded, and the consequence was the collapse of human life.
There is no good solution to this kind of thing. After all, the method Zach used on Nuo proved to be undesirable.
"If this kind of thing causes trouble to you, you should tell Richie and ask him to control the aliens he introduces to you." Zach could only give mediocre suggestions.
"I said it, but he can't help it. He has tried his best to arrange a safe place for those alien races in Newton society. But these alien races keep coming to Newton, so he can only stuff them into my hotel."
Zach raised his eyebrows. This could explain the reason why Benjamin used the Newton aliens in the previous crusade against the Kraken - the number of Newton aliens was growing.
This made Zach curious about a question, "Why do aliens go to Newton?"
Winston glanced at Zach, "That's what I mean, I'm still human, and you asked questions that I can't possibly know yet."
Let alone humans, Zach didn’t even know, so he asked.
Zach waved his hand and motioned to Roy, "The aliens from the Federation are coming to the eastern city. Do you think this is something we need to pay attention to?"
Obviously, this is asking for discussion as a Sabbat vampire.
Roy was very direct, "The western part of the Sabbat could have provided a stable living environment for the aliens. The number of aliens who could not stand the chaos in the central part and entered the west has never stopped, but since the inexplicable murder case (Miley's anti-social cult ) began to spread from Vega, hum." Roy shook his head. He had now figured out his role beside Zach. He was a consultant who could provide the Sabbat's perspective, "If the aliens flow to the east, It has replaced the foreign flow that originally went west, so we know we should pay attention to it." Because this means that the status of the Sabbat among the foreign races in the Federation has been affected.
Zach agreed, "Who's in charge of this in the Sabbat?"
"Are you funny, who? There's just one man, Lute Lesembra, and he's in charge of everything."
"Oh~" Zach raised his eyebrows, "Then should we report this situation to him?"
"Heh, you make it sound like you and I can chat with Root normally."
"It makes sense." Zach turned back and looked at Hank, "But I have a candidate who Root has to obey."
This means that if Rut Lesembula does not perform the responsibilities he should bear, don't blame others for sharing the responsibilities for him. (To be continued)
