Zach randomly pulled out a document from his briefcase and spread it out.
xxx Funeral Home: Vacant and abandoned.
Compile a list of employees: dead, missing, dead, missing…
Zach took out a few more copies, and they all looked like this.
I won't repeat the complete contents of the document here, just summarize it.
Originally, those who ran the funeral industry in the west were the alien class who were accustomed to being ignored by society. After the anti-alien movement of humans began, the aliens in the funeral homes were used as rakes and pushed out to vent their anger on humans.
It's quite convenient for the west, isn't it? It's an industry that needs to be given to Toledo anyway. When something goes wrong, every clan has a person in charge to protect their own business first, but Toledo is the only one left unattended. Hey, forget it, it goes without saying that someone maliciously pushed Future Toledo's industry to its death. The real situation may be that no one pushed it, and no one protected Zach, and then it developed naturally.
Zach watched for a while, then took the phone, ready to call Charlie to see what Charlie thought of the situation.
The call went through. Zach was somewhat reassured that the funeral home where Charlie temporarily lived, that is, the funeral home run by Dog Brother's ghoul adoptive father, had not been bulldozed by humans.
But it wasn't Charlie who answered the phone, it was Logan. This surprised Zach, "Logan? Is Charlie here?"
"Yes, but they are in a meeting. Do you want me to call them?"
"What will happen?"
"It seems to be a matter of the western funeral industry." Logan replied, "Wait a minute."
Soon, the person on the phone changed, and Charlie's voice came over, "Zach! What's the matter?"
"The situation of the funeral industry in the West." Zach started without any subjectivity, "Tell me about it."
"Ah! We are discussing this matter~" Charlie actually said in a happy tone, "Based on the current situation, we can be sure that all the funeral industries in the west will be privatized in one month!"
Zach showed no emotion, "A month, it only took one day to privatize Barton's funeral industry. The mayor issued a mandatory document." Zach didn't say it was too slow, he just stated a certain fact.
"Oh, I'm talking about the entire privatization process, including Barton's subsequent cemetery allocation, tomb relocation, compensation, all of these things!"
Zach raised his eyebrows, "Oh." This is so fast. As we know, Barton's funeral home was still arguing about the distribution of cemetery plots at the end of last year. Zach thought for a moment and suddenly understood
Charlie said that after Lutresembra's death, Charlie's popularity suddenly increased. Therefore, even if everyone in the west is too lazy to care about Toledo's future funeral industry, they will not watch the entire west funeral industry collapse.
Therefore, the information sent by Nenad may be just the superficial state of Nenad, a vampire in Barton, who has no clear understanding of the situation in the west.
Zach tentatively asked, "Are you taking advantage of humanity's anti-alien movement to clean up those undertakers who resist privatization?"
Charlie's response was "Yeah!"
really.
Zach lowered his head, his face expressionless, "It seems that many aliens died."
"It's a necessary loss!" Charlie's words are worth listening to. "Those aliens in the funeral industry have been abandoned by the Sabbat. In Western society, those who oppose alien humans want the aliens to be harmed, but in Western society, there are not many humans anymore. They can resist the alien race as much as they want without affecting their normal life." Calm down: "Alien races are human colleagues, subordinates, superiors, neighbors, landlords, tenants... Even if there is no intersection, humans in the West cannot just treat them as casually. An alien is forced to a dead end, and then goes back to live his normal life. Money has to be made, community reputation needs to be taken care of...basic social relationships have to be taken care of. Unless the alien himself is unwilling to stay in an environment that is not kind to him, he will do it on his own. Leave, humans cannot, and do not have the responsibility to force a foreigner in their lives."
Zach continued, "For any living creature, the lowly job that exists for the purpose of death, the funeral industry, is the most convenient place for humans to vent their malice."
"Yes! The Sabbat also knew about this relationship, so the government allowed humans to squeeze out the entire funeral industry in the West. The Sabbat gave up the entire funeral industry." Charlie's tone was still full of smiles, "At this time, it's still Those who are willing to take charge of the funeral industry are us, Toredo, and at this time, if we are still stubborn and unwilling to submit to the aliens managed by Toredo, then it’s better not to~"
Zach remained expressionless and nodded. One thing is already clear. The main reason why Charlie is so happy is probably that Charlie's hands are clean. Isn't it? Those people who died or disappeared in the funeral industry were not done by Charlie, they were done by humans. Since other people's tragedies have nothing to do with him, Charlie naturally only focuses on things that make him happy, which is the process of privatizing the funeral industry, which will be smooth sailing in the future.
"Oh, by the way." Charlie remembered something, and his tone was a little weird, "Murphy Assamite contacted me, and she said that her Assamite clan would take over the vacant funeral homes."
"Do you have any questions?" Zach asked. Zach was thinking that the human beings in the anti-alien movement could accurately attack funeral homes that resisted privatization. I am afraid that the control of the Assamite clan was indispensable. This anti-alien movement was the result of Assamite and Mai. Li Liszt was secretly promoting it!
"Well, I don't have any doubts. She also sent me the candidates who will take over the funeral home. I also asked Revro and Cappadocia to check for me. They are all clean human families." Ha, it fits. The human family of Assamite requested, "I just think that Assamt can use this reason to start entering the Sabbat. Although our Toledo and Assamite have merged our clans, the Sabbat now leaves us as the trustees." A bloodthirsty vampire..."
Zach interrupted, knowing what Charlie wanted to say, "I have given you the authority of the descendants of Toledo, and I just trust you to do a good job."
"Well, I understand, I will also follow the standards of the dog brother!" It means to create a population for Toledo.
"That's okay, just keep busy." Zach was about to hang up the phone. One month, with this result, is enough for Zach.
"Wait a minute, Logan seems to have something else to say to you."
Zach held the receiver still, waiting for Logan to appear.
"Zach, can I go back to Barton?" Although Logan's tone was a question, there was no hesitation and he seemed to have considered the issue.
"Going back to Barton?" Zach raised his eyebrows, finally realizing that his mood had changed, and the reason for the change was because of this man, Logan. Do you understand
Logan has nothing to do with the Sabbat, nothing to do with the Secret, and nothing to do with Grande... actually, it has nothing to do with it. The relationship here specifically refers to the collective interests that have made Zach tired! got it! .
Logan is a human being who, by chance, worked in Grandry for a period of time, and then was shown the way by Zach to go to the west to fulfill his dream of becoming an alien.
Zach was willing to redirect his emotions for such a human being.
When there is an anti-alien movement in the West, it seems that it is not suitable to continue to stay in the West. There are more and more aliens in Barton. Logan can continue to choose his future path in Barton. The only question is, "It's okay to come back, but what about your time at Vega?"
"I have nothing to do in Vega." Logan's voice suddenly became confused. "The mayor of Lesembra suddenly died suddenly. His secretary, Lily, was regarded as a troublemaker in Lesembra's clan infighting. After pushing back and forth, I lost my power and could not continue to provide me with some conveniences for activities between humans and aliens. My undercover agent in the Apocalypse Sect was suddenly exposed by a Vega policeman who suddenly appeared some time ago. Strangely, he was a member of the Apocalypse Sect. He actually didn't retaliate against me. I... don't know what I'm doing here anymore." After a pause, "I've missed a lot of things in the funeral industry, and now I can't understand what Charlie and the others are talking about. Russell has been very busy, You know the blood business, I can’t help you much.”
After Zach finished listening, he roughly guessed that the Vega policeman in Logan's mouth was the inheritor, and he fulfilled his promise and fished Logan out of the cult. As for the Apocalypse Sect's failure to retaliate against Logan, the undercover agent, it is of course because of Miley, the 'leader'. Remember, from the beginning, Miley knew that Logan had infiltrated her organization, and she even asked Zach to do a background check.
"Then come back. Grande has recently hired new employees, and I am happy to have a familiar face return."
"New employees?" Logan didn't know about the changes in the Barton Halfway House project yet. Speaking of which, he, an expatriate, was lucky enough to avoid the personnel changes.
"Let's talk about it when we come back." Zach waved his hand in the air.
"Can I bring someone back?"
Zach's face darkened, "It can't be Lily."
"It's her." Logan was honest. "She helped me and Russell. Especially Russell's blood business, which all started because of the power she once had in the hands of Mayor Vega. Her current situation, in Vega, here… "
"Bring it back." Zach pouted, knowing that the reality West had shaped would not be revealed so easily.
"Then... I'm going to get ready."
"Hang up." Zach put down the phone. Wes was already standing at the door, covered in blood.
Zach glanced sideways, "Is someone dead?"
"Alive..." Wes's expression was a little dull, "Alive now, but Benjamin said that if you continue to stay in the basement, after the two people die, I will be Mokavi's food..." Looking at Zach, "I don't want to go. Purgatory…”
Zach looked at Wes, and if it had been before, he would have reached out and patted the other person's shoulder to express comfort. But based on Zach's current state of mind, "You go find Nick. If Mokavi really needs more food, I can't stop her, Nick Giovanni can."
Wes nodded blankly and actually turned around and left the office to find Nick Giovanni.
Yesterday, when we talked about the relationship between misanthropes, we said that some things can only be watched and cannot be stopped.
Zach stretched and listened to the conversation between Nenad and Siris in the showroom downstairs. Quite a speechless conversation.
"What should I do if Brielle makes any excessive demands?"
"for example?"
"She will bring her descendants to live in her home."
"Brill created descendants? Three generations of Mokavi?"
"Well, let me change the question. What if I want to bring my descendant into my home and Briar doesn't let me?"
"You? Did you create a grandson for me? Who? A farmer?"
…
Zach understood why Sires always asked himself questions about how vampires live, because his father, Nenad, had such a ridiculously poor life experience!
Zach stopped listening downstairs, stood up by the window and glanced at Hank who was standing at the door of the living area to prevent Benjamin from coming to get food, and was about to say something. A touch of gold blocked the view.
The golden color faded, and Zach looked at Sissi stepping on his window sill, "Are you showing a miracle to my new employee of Grande?"
Sissi's behavior is becoming more and more 'unreasonable'.
Sissi turned back and glanced at Hank, who had already rushed into the living area in panic, "So what about the miracles? Under the control of you vampires, any miracles will be erased."
This statement obviously means something, not only the influence of vampires on human beings in this world, but also the fact that Zach sent the Holy Lord away from this world. The Holy Lord believes in the greatest miracle in the world.
Zach was too lazy to talk to Sissy. With Zach's current state of mind, if Sissi talks a few girly gossips, Zach might be willing to talk about the relationship between the vampire race and the Holy Lord's faith? One sentence from Zach is too much.
Turn around, leave the office, and prepare to go downstairs to the basement to take a look. Mokavi is giving birth too slowly, please hurry up.
"Thousands of years ago, the Holy Lord ordered that Cain and Cain's sons be wiped out so that new vampires could grow up cleanly." Sissi entered the window and followed Zach. "The angels used a weapon that can kill souls. The weapon (dagger) forcibly upgrades the soul-restraining vampire to a complete body that has lost the soul-restraining ability."
Zach looked back at Sissi, hadn't this story been told before? Are there any new tricks
"Some of those weapons are living in this world and are held by hunters and demon hunters. Some are taken to hell by demons. Some are brought back by angels."
As soon as Zach thought, 'Fast forward for vampires to fully understand the crisis they are facing, in addition to the destroyed Sabbat Zmich medical experiment, there is such a flaw,' he shook his head and stopped thinking. Not something Zach was willing to waste his eternity caring about right now.
"I want to regulate these weapons." Sissi didn't know what Zach was thinking. She came to Grande like this, and she would definitely finish what she wanted to say. There was no way to stop him.
Zach had already reached the first floor and was heading to the basement.
Sissi followed suit and continued, "You don't need to ask for the reason. I naturally have my reasons. Hum, I don't need to explain to you."
Sissi is really unaware, looking at Zach, does he have the slightest intention to ask
Already in the basement, the smell of blood is astounding, stimulating the vampire's senses... It's not from the producer Mokavi, but from the two humans lying on the ground.
Sissi covered her mouth, but did not cover her words, "I only need one word from you now. For those weapons in this world, I..."
Zach didn't even interrupt, he didn't care about what Sissi said, "Giving birth?"
Benjamin, who was holding something in his arms, turned around, glanced at Zach, and said, "Give birth."
Zach waved, "What breed?" Sorry, there's no better way to ask.
"Yes..." Benjamin frowned and handed out the little creature in his arms, "It's a human being." He looked at Zach in confusion, "You seem to be right."
Zach hugged the baby and was equally confused, "Why doesn't he cry?" Zach was afraid that he had forgotten that Bain's child didn't cry in his arms.
Being ignored, Sissi frowned, stood in front of Zach, and slapped the baby in Zach's arms.
"Wow"
Sissi rolled her eyes and said, "I'm crying. Now, what I'm telling you..."
It's just a matter of moments.
A body covered in blood pressed Sissi on the stairs, followed by a tooth-piercing sound. Mokavi looked up and looked at Zach, who was turning the baby's head to the other side, "What?! She hit my baby!"
Sissi, the golden light shines, Grande's space is split open, Sissi's body, dragging the spilled blood, rushes into the sky in a golden package.
Hank, who had just come out of the living area, looked at the golden "I*!" heading straight into the sky in the direction of Grande, with red eyes, turned around and went back to the living area...
