(The timeline is Angel Falls on Grand the night after Andrew massacred civilians).
*Zach returned to the office and called Louise's photo for a long time. There was no reply to the blank photo. Zach started dialing. Grande could still afford the international long distance charges. *
Madison typed this sentence while shaking her head. When he typed the period, he tilted his head, as if he was feeling something.
After the experience was over, I adjusted the position of the paper and continued typing on the keyboard.
"Who are you looking for?" Eli's voice.
"Look for Louise." Zach said simply.
"Zach?" There was a smile in Eli's voice, "She went out, not very happy~ Haha, my dear friend~ What did you do to your woman~ In a long-distance relationship, this kind of long-distance quarrel But it’s fatal~~”
Zach had no time to talk nonsense with this 'friend', "Go get Louise back!"
"My dear friend~ You are too pushy~ It's broad daylight in the Republic now~ I can't go out~
Madison tapped and smiled. He took one hand off the keyboard, took the water at hand, and took a sip. He put his hand on the keyboard again and muttered to himself without typing, "Let's do some mental activities, the anxious mental activities of a vampire~"
Madison put her hand on the keyboard and moved it up and down weakly. Finally, I typed on the keyboard
*Well. *
Madison wasn't happy with that word. He curled his lips and took another sip of water. He tilted his head and continued to feel something.
Gradually, Madison had a smile on her face, adjusted the position of the paper again, and started tapping.
"Then..." Zach curled his lips, "When Louise comes back, tell Louise that I'm sorry! If she doesn't want to have contact with Zagar, I won't force her anymore!"
"Zager?" There was a question in Eli's voice, "Why doesn't Louise want to have contact with Zagel? They have a very good relationship."
the phone is ringing.
Madison, who was interrupted, frowned and answered the phone.
"Grand..." Madison just started, his face darkened, and he changed his words again, "Allen Funeral Home Mill Branch, how can I help you?"
"It's me." Amelia's voice sounded, "Browning."
Madison curled her lips and said, "Amelia." The title made people speechless. Madison and Amelia were very familiar with each other. Because of Brian, Madison still regularly reports Brian's mental state to Emilia Browning.
Madison feels that the intersection between him and Amelia has reached the stage of calling each other by name, but Amelia always calls herself Dr. Browning, which is more in line with professional characteristics.
"Amelia, today is not the time for me to report on Brian's status."
"No." The other side of the receiver answered, with the background sound of a noisy carnival, "I'm not calling you because of Brian. I want to ask you if Harrison went to your place to replenish food."
Madison leaned back in her chair, "I came here once before. I conveyed Allen Funeral's new management strategy (no longer secretly selling remains) and then I stopped coming." After a pause, Madison looked at the time. Then he started flipping through the manuscripts beside him, "Zach found him at Ford Funeral." Madison found the manuscript he was looking for, glanced at it, recalled the story he had written, and looked up at the ceiling, "He is now In Grandry.”
"Oh." Amelia spoke again, with the noisy carnival sound still playing in the background, "Thank you."
"Amelia." Madison lowered his head and looked back at the interrupted manuscript, "You should be mentally prepared."
"What?" Amelia's confused voice came from the receiver, and then she was a little worried, "What are you preparing for? What's wrong with Harrison?"
Madison pursed her lips, pushed away the unfinished manuscript, took the manuscript he had just found, and put it in front of him, "Harrison..." Madison looked at the story he had written and stopped there.
In the story, Harrison is confronting his soul in Grandery. Madison just wanted to remind Amelia of this. But... there seems to be no point in being reminded, because Harrison has been in Grandry in subsequent stories, and Emilia's feelings have no meaning in this story with Zach as the protagonist.
Forget it, Madison decided not to do anything pointless.
"Hello? You talk." Emilia began to urge over there.
"It's nothing." Madison put back the previous manuscript. "Harrison is fine. He just didn't buy food at Ford. There's something wrong with his future food source, that's all."
"That's it?" Amelia paused, "Okay, I understand. Is there anything else you want to tell me, Madison."
"No more." Madison looked at the table where the manuscripts had been pushed away and replied emotionlessly.
"Thank you then. Goodbye. Remember to contact me the day after tomorrow to tell me about Brian's situation."
Madison still looked at the table emotionlessly, "Well." He asked like a machine, "Should I contact your clinic assistant directly, or should I contact your assistant in the office at Bochi Nursing Home."
"I'm sorry, what did you say?"
Madison said calmly, "Zach has helped you get a new work project at Bochi Retreat, hasn't he? Soon, you will have an additional assistant. Who should I contact?" (This is Corden. )
"Uh..." Amelia on the receiver seemed a little confused, but quickly said, "Assistant in the clinic. Brian is a human being, and I don't want to mix different aspects of my work."
"Okay." Madison nodded to the air without emotion, "It's okay then. Goodbye."
"goodbye."
The phone was hung up.
Madison looked at the table and was in a daze for a while without knowing what he was thinking. I took the unfinished manuscript and typed it on the typewriter
Zach held the receiver, "What did you say?"
"Oh~ you don't know, I'm talking too much~ I'm going to bed, don't disturb me~ bye~" he hung up.
If you call again, the call will be disconnected.
Then directly pull out the manuscript paper and put it together with the arranged manuscript. Then he picked up the manuscript with an expressionless face and stuffed it into the cabinet.
Madison gets ready to go to bed.
"The carnival is live on TV." Brian saw Madison coming out of the study. "After the pavilion was vandalized last night, there were a lot of police at the carnival today." Brian said indifferently, "I saw Lan Detective Si."
Madison watched TV for a while, "You should go to sleep, Brian."
"Watch a little longer." Brian huddled on the sofa.
"You're an adult and have some self-control."
"I am an adult who has been corrupted by vampires since I was a child." Brian replied.
Madison ignored it and went to sleep.
New day, new day, new day... (The timeline is that Zach and Roy went to the North District to find West to ask about the identification of the vampire body)
Madison didn't know how many days he had sat in the study room staring at the empty manuscript in a daze.
The story that wasn't about Zach no longer entered Madison's mind, the story continued. In reality, while Zach was still worried about not being able to send Alice and the others a lunch to refuel, Madison had already seen what happened to Zach a few weeks later.
But Madison didn’t want to write anymore. Madison ignored it and went to sleep.

reason
The future is pretty bad. In Zach's story, Madison himself, a supporting role, seems to be on the way out...
Madison checked the time, left the desk, took her coat, and prepared to go out.
"What are you going to do?" Brian asked.
"Visiting friends."
"You have no friends," Brian said.
"West." Madison curled her lips.
"She is not your friend, she is your mission. You completed it, and you reminded her that she is the Holy Lord. Now she is no longer in this world, and the current West has nothing to do with you." Ryan blinked.
Madison tilted her mouth and looked at Brian, "Yes, the current West has nothing to do with me, but West's identity needs to be buffered, and West's social relationships will not disappear with the Holy Lord. Do you understand? , you broken adult."
"I don't understand. When I was damaged by the Charming Eyes, no one seemed to care whether I had a buffer or not." Brian continued to blink.
"Hey..." Madison took a long breath, "I'm going out for a while and I'll be back soon." He left.
New day, new day, new day…
Madison sat at the desk again, in a daze.
the phone is ringing.
When Madison answered the phone, she watched Brian enter his study room and fetch the manuscripts placed in the cabinet in a familiar manner.
Madison only had time to say, "Don't move." Then he said to the receiver, "Grand... Allen Funeral..."
"I am Lutre Sembra."
There was no emotion on Madison's face, "I'm Madison, why did you call me?"
"You are working under Allen's funeral now. There is no Toledo on top of you to hinder me. Why can't I call you?"
Brian, who was flipping through the manuscript, pulled down the receiver in dissatisfaction and asked Madison, "Why haven't you written anything new in these days? Or is Zach suspicious of Louise and Zagel..."
Madison waved off and asked Brian to go out.
Brian didn't obey, so he moved a chair and sat next to him, "Whose phone number is it?"
Root on the receiver, "Did I hear a stranger's voice? What did he just say? What about Louise and Zagel?"
"Are you okay, Mr. Mayor Vega?" Madison stared at Brian, all signs of shutting up and keeping quiet.
Brian received it, took out the empty manuscript and typewriter, and typed away boredly.
"As expected, you know a lot of things, Mr. Madison."
"Is something wrong?" Madison asked again.
This is probably another proof that Zach doesn't care about his employees. Haha, this vampire didn't even realize that for the future of the West End, he 'gave' the mill to Allen Funeral and gave Madison, the 'good guy' Employees' were completely exposed to the Sabbat's contacts.
"Haha, Mr. Madison, the information about you is in my hands. Now I want to verify whether the information about you is correct. For example, you can see the future. Then, how about you answer your question for me. "
Madison pulled back the paper that was messed up by Brian, "No." Madison showed no emotion, "If I prove my ability to you and reveal your evil plan, I will be silenced by you."
"Wow~" When Root exclaimed in the receiver, Brian looked at Madison, blinked and remained silent.
The voice on the receiver continued, "You are really as the intelligence says~ Haha, I like you."
"No, there seems to be no good end to being liked by you." Madison himself wrote about Root's unusual 'love' for Toledo. Look at the relationship between Root and Zach.
"Then tell me, are you still alive in the future?"
"Do you like being spoiled?" Madison asked tonelessly.
There was silence on the other side of the receiver for a while, "I understand, you are very smart, and with your ability, you are now creating a chance for yourself to survive."
"Just understand. If you just want to chat with me, I'm done. I still have a mill to run."
"You know I don't want to chat with you." The voice on the other side of the receiver answered quickly, "We don't have to beat around the bush, just give us a price. How much is Zach's story?"
"Sold in volumes, the closer the pieces are, the more expensive they are."
"I don't care, I bought them all."
"You can't afford it, there are a lot of rolls."
A 'tsk' appeared on the other side of the receiver, "I don't want the earlier volumes. I don't need to read the things I know. I just want the latest ones!"
"Some of the secrets held by Zach are in the early volumes. The manuscripts leaked by Barton were all distributed based on the side plots of the supporting characters. You can't see the whole story." Madison held the receiver and said very calmly, "Conclusion That is, you can’t get all the experiences of current Zach, and you can’t create a third Zach.”
The third
Oh, the second one is a replica made by Zagel using the reality of Zach's time in the Secret Alliance.
It doesn’t need to be said any more clearly, everyone should already understand why Root bought Madison’s book manuscript to create Zach again!
"Okay! Then I want to buy them all! Price!"
Madison glanced at Brian who was next to her, raised her chin, and motioned for Brian to write.
Brian blinked, grabbed a piece of paper, and wrote a number.
Madison glanced at it, reported it, and then said, "Add ten zeros after it."
"Absurd!" the other side of the receiver exploded, "You understand that I'm just calling this out of courtesy! You are now the funeral director of Allen, I can directly order Hamilton to rob you!"
