The main entrance of Ford Funeral Home is right in front of you. If you go straight, you can reach your destination by car. But James took control of the wheel and began circling outside Ford's funeral.
This is not because James is afraid of seeing something at Ford's funeral that he cannot accept. Since the beginning of last year, James has been having nightmares on certain nights: vampires killing people.
The look on James' face showed that he wanted to intervene in Ford Funeral Home as soon as possible to stop and control what happened inside... whatever action he was thinking about. But what he did was keep circling outside Ford Funeral Home, refusing to enter the front door of the house.
James's circle was unconscious.
Even Zach took some time to use his vampire senses to 'awake' from this repeated circle. Ford Funeral was wrapped in the corruption of Cappadocia.
It's not that James doesn't want to go in, but that James' biological instinct continues to warn James that there is a dead land ahead and he cannot go in.
I don’t know how everyone understands Cappadocia’s Breath of Corruption ability. Objective ability analysis. We have talked about separating a space from the existing ecosystem... I wonder if anyone thinks this explanation is too... science fiction. .
This is a rare opportunity, taking advantage of the breath of corruption to reappear in Barton, let us re-describe the ability that made Cappadocia, one of the many bloodlines of vampires, favored by the Holy Lord and selected into the thirteen clans.
That's right, what made Cappadocia one of the thirteen clans was the ability of this breath of corruption. Unlike Toledo, it relies on charm...
The name of this ability is confusing. It sounds like the physiological function of some scavenger, right? But in fact, the name is taken from the death phenomenon of vampires.
Among the limited vampire casualties in this story, we also watched several vampire death scenes. The vampire turned to ashes and ceased to exist.
This is the death of a vampire, unlike any other creature that leaves a body behind to continue interacting with the world. The death of a vampire is very neat, and death is death. At the last moment, vampires may have been relying on their own power: pure physical strength or a superior position in society to suck the blood of other creatures in this world. The vampire is still showing off his immortality. But the next moment, all traces of the vampire's existence in this world ceased and turned into fly ash, dissipating where he once stood.
When you see a handful of dust on the ground, do you think that maybe just a second ago, there was a creature standing here that once posed a huge existential threat to all other creatures in this world
The vampire is such a fantastic creature. When he is alive, his sense of existence is so powerful that no creature can ignore it. But when he dies, it is as if he never existed in this world.
This is the breath of corruption, the corruption of vampires that does not exist in this world.
When we describe Cappadocia's capabilities objectively in, uh, science fiction terms: Cappadocia creates a space that is disconnected from the existing ecosystem. In fact, what we want to express is that if we have the ability to freeze the death of a vampire. The breath of corruption in Cappadocia is the inside of vampire death...
If there were a super-dimensional law that determined what belonged to the vampire and what would turn to ashes when a vampire dies. Then, the breath of corruption in Cappadocia is what this super-dimensional law looks like.
Unlike other vampires, they only realize the existence of this super-dimensional law when they truly die. I have seen the world with my eyes, I have picked up and put down things in this world, and I have stuck out my tongue to this world. And my heart that once jumped in this world... will become ashes that have nothing to do with this world.
In Cappadocia, when you are still alive, you can pat the table and touch the walls willfully... and make the overbearing decision, 'If I die, you will all be buried with me'. Cappadocia gave this ability, which requires them to constantly prepare for their 'futures', an apt name, Breath of Corruption.
It still feels like science fiction, but I tried my best. Hey, everyone thinks... Toledo's Charming Eyes are a special function that sublimates the original physiology of vampires, and Cappadocia sublimates... another special function of the original physiology of vampires~~ The thirteen clans chosen by the Holy Lord, All very representative.
There are many applications for Breath of Corruption. I don’t know if you still remember that the Sabbat tried to use the Breath of Corruption to preserve the body of the Toledor Messenger.
But the main application is what Zach and James are experiencing now
If a space no longer belongs to the existing ecosystem, the creatures in the original ecosystem will instinctively avoid that space.
Tsk. Those sci-fi descriptions give me a headache, so let’s use a down-to-earth metaphor.
Have you ever seen a fish take the initiative to swim out of the water and run to land to breathe fresh air? Water is the ecosystem of fish, and everything on the shore is the breath of corruption for fish. You don’t need to ask the fish why it has grown to look like it can only live in water. It doesn’t know, it just looks like that, and then it has that instinct not to leave the water!
James and Zach are both fish. In his instinct, James keeps ignoring the destination right in front of him and desperately going around the road... James is worthy of praise, although his instinct is probably already trying his best. Let him stay away from this place, but James is still persistent and he wants to go to Ford for funeral!
The only advantage Zach has over James is his vampire senses. It also took some time and thanks to James' detour, Zach first judged that all the roads leading to Ford's funeral were "inexplicably" "impossible". After a moment of confusion, Zach realized there was a reason for this unusual sense-reality discrepancy.
Once he deliberately suppressed his biological instincts, rationality came back, "Don't go around, the entire Ford Funeral is under the influence of corruption." Zach concluded.
The car stopped. James's expression was very bad because he knew the danger of the Breath of Corruption. Zach once told him what would happen if he was unfortunately contaminated by the Breath of Corruption...
If you have forgotten, let me mention it again: If you are unfortunate enough to encounter the Breath of Corruption, what awaits you will be an extremely painful death. Everything in this world will no longer interact with you, and you will never live a life like this. A living person becomes a dead person, and then becomes a piece of rotten meat that no one cares about. It is still an independent piece of rotten meat that no one will interact with you.
The geographical location of Ford's Funeral is, haha, on one side is Paisin, on the other is the residential area where Ford's burial was re-planned and the Big Q Supermarket with heavy traffic, and on the other is the Back Bay area where there is a large number of Barton's middle class.
It's strange that James, the law enforcer, had a good face after being reminded of the reality by Zach.
Of course Zach knew what James was thinking, "Fortunately, we didn't see any passers-by nearby, so let's put down your black face that no one will care about." Zach took the lead, got out of the car, leaned against the car, Against his instinct, he faced the direction of Ford's funeral, frowning, as if he was thinking about something.
James also got out of the car, but he didn't have Zach's ability to resist instinct. After taking two steps, he realized that his legs were walking in the opposite direction to Ford's funeral. In anger, James He waved his hand and sat on the roadside. He was angry because he, a human police detective, had no control over the situation at hand. He could only rely on Zach and hope that Zach would come up with something.
Zach was actually reminiscing. Recall the breath of corruption.
This is not the first time that Cappadocia has released the Breath of Corruption on a large scale in Barton. The last time the Breath of Corruption enveloped the entire human facility was when Benjamin went to Allen's Funeral and killed two Sabbat Tsimis (at that time, Soul Expansion Because of the threat to Zach's life), in order to prevent anyone from entering or leaving Allen's funeral, Nenad used the Breath of Corruption to seal the entire place.
What’s great is that this time, it’s also a funeral home. But the geographical location determines the nature of the event. No one cares what is covering Allen's funeral... Ford can't do it, especially since Zach had a, uh, heart-to-heart meeting with Mayor Anthony before he came here.
Whatever is going on inside Ford's Funeral Home in Breath of Corruption, Zach needs to remind whoever or whatever is inside to move quickly.
In the Corruption of Allen's Funeral last time, Zach entered Allen's Funeral and waited outside, waiting for Nenad inside to consciously make a way out. Zach seems to be able to do only the same thing now.
Waiting... James was impatient, but every time he stood up, he would angrily find that his steps would 'consciously' move in the direction. After trying several times, James could only sit on the ground honestly.
Zach's state is a bit... strange.
With the car behind him, Zach managed to put himself in a position where he couldn't move backwards, but he couldn't move forward either. Zack, who stood there, let his memories go a little further.
The objective fact is that, excluding Allen's funeral, Zach hasn't felt the breath of corruption up close for four centuries.
Secret, Sabbat, there is no need to say more about this.
During the colonial war four centuries ago, Zach was able to observe the breath of corruption up close because Zach would follow the Cappadocia clan to conduct battlefield inventory of the Holy Lord Faith and Witchcraft Faith.
Well, the Cappadocia clan at that time was responsible for cleaning up the battlefield, because the ability of the Breath of Corruption was too... easy to be accidentally injured. Why.
But after the war, the Breath of Corruption can bring security to the personnel taking stock of the battlefield, which is quite useful.
It seems that before Zach raised Cappadocia's status, the Sabbat had no creativity in applying Cappadocia's abilities. Remember, Cappadocia was the original member of the eight-person team led by Hamilton. The queen of the palace.
Zach was curious, if Cappadocia were in the Secret Alliance, first of all, the status of the Cappadocia clan would not be as despised as in the Sabbat, and secondly, in terms of the clan's ability, I wonder if Cappadocia could What are the different changes.
Zach was suppressing his instincts with this meaningless thought.
Zach even thought that if Cappadocia was in the Secret Alliance, he would never survive as the last Toledo. I must die in the breath of corruption...
Breath of Corruption is an area-of-effect attack. Do you know how... special this is for a race like vampires that overemphasizes single-body abilities
Ford Funeral, shrouded in corruption, has a way to enter.
Red blood beads roared through the air, then splashed onto the ground. A road paved by the splatter of blood appeared in front of Zach.
Remember the way to lift the breath of corruption, the blood of Cappadocia. This ability, which is essentially a 'simulation' of the vampire's death phenomenon, can only be lifted by the vampire himself proving that he is still alive, which is very scientific.
Zach's mouth opened slightly, because the Cappadocia that paved a road with his own blood was not the Nainad that Zach expected, but.
"Ford, you're still alive." Zach looked at Mr. Ford, who was splattering his own blood and hunched and weak, as if he might die from excessive blood loss at any time.
"He's still alive." Nenad didn't completely disappoint Zach's expectations. He was right behind Ford. "And he will continue to live." Nenad raised his hand and gave Ford a hug directly from behind. hand. Pushing Ford's body off the path forward, "The passage is too narrow, please widen it."
Ford's movement of splashing his own blood became larger, and the passage began to widen.
Zach frowned unconsciously, "You are abusing him."
The insult that proves what Zach said and explains why Ford is now so obedient to Nenad is that in Nainad's hand, he is holding a chain that has just been stained red with blood, so it is temporarily impossible to distinguish the material. The other end of the chain was connected to Ford. No, not the company, it was plugged into Ford.
The last time Zach saw something like this was before slavery had been abolished.
"Yes." Nenad's face was calm. He swung the chain in his hand and controlled Ford to continue to widen the passage. "I am not only abusing him, but also draining the meaning of his existence." Nenad Shrugging, "I don't have the blood reserves to eliminate the corruption in the entire Ford Funeral Home. He needs to finish the job."
It would be better to kill Ford directly.
But Zach will not question Nainad's decision, because if Nainad says that he alone cannot eliminate the corruption in this area with a large number of civilians on three sides, then he should be believed. The unconditional kind.
Zach could already hear the intense heartbeat of James coming back behind him.
"I just want to confirm one thing, whether Ford is the murderer."
"He is." Nenad answered simply. Just in time, James approached, and Nenad increased his voice, "He brutally killed civilian Austin and desecrated his body."
