Welcome to Barton.
When passing the ancestors' office, Zach stopped the car. The Great Dane got out of the car, and Zach waited for a while. When he didn't sense any conflict, he stopped waiting and returned to Grande. Kim knows the way home anyway.
Upon entering the Grande, Zach discovered a stranger in the Grande watching TV on the second floor. Zach got out of the car and carried Adam onto the back porch.
"He's been here for a few days." Alice and Maya were at school, and Annabell was the only one who welcomed Zach back. "I don't live here, but I don't know when you will come back, so I will come and wait every day during the day." Annabell does the same now. There was nothing more to pursue, and he didn’t expect Zach to respond to him. After finishing speaking, he returned to his post at the counter of the showroom.
"Countess." Zach suddenly spoke up.
Annabel turned around in surprise, "Huh?"
"I promised you and White Cat to deal with Fan Zhuo of the Republic. Now I can give you feedback that things have already begun." Miles went to the Republic of Fan Zhuo and became friends with Zagel, Fan Zhuo's only adviser now~
Anabel's lips curved into a smile, "I know~"
Well, of course she does. In this world, she will know all the stories that happen with Zach as the protagonist. The white cat will tell her.
Zach had no expression, "Then you know what I want to ask you now."
"Ah, I already know this~ The white cat won't tell me anything beyond the present~" Annabell was a little excited, "What do you want to ask me?"
"If at some point in the future, Fan Zhuo of the Republic is wiped out, the punishment imposed on you four centuries ago will no longer exist. Countess." Zach's method of questioning is very special. "Are you ready?" So that you can get back everything you lost, 'love', and rebuild your Fanzhuo clan?"
Annabell froze on the spot.
Without waiting for an answer, Zach entered the house, went upstairs, went back to the master bedroom to settle the babbling Adam, and came to the entertainment room.
The guy watching TV was a human, but he wasn't so dull that he didn't notice Zach's approach.
He turned around, stood up immediately, with a nervous and flattering smile on his face, and bowed at almost 90 degrees: "Toledo! I finally meet you!"
Zach looked at the other person's face after bowing, "I have never seen your face, but I remember your voice." Zach motioned for the other person to sit down, and he also sat down on the sofa, and glanced at the TV The daytime soap operas on the air, the ones with republican subtitles, said, "You are the doctor from Vega City Hospital, right? It was you who talked to me on the phone the day before I left for the West."
"Yes! That's me!" Zach was surprised to have guessed his identity.
Zach should be the one who is 'surprised'. What is this guy doing? Instead of looking for him in Vega, he actually came across the federal country to Grande to look for him?
But now that I know the identity of the other party's doctor, at least it won't be too embarrassing to talk to him. Zach did not give a positive comment on the other party's respectfulness, "In Barton, don't call me Toledo. If you have business in the funeral industry, just call me Grande." Zach is very considerate, you can tell, Zach While helping this nervous doctor adapt to Toledo's way of doing things in Barton, "If you have a personal matter, just call me Zach." It is impossible for a Vega doctor to have a business relationship with Barton's funeral industry ~ However, Zach is too lazy Waiting for the other party to respond slowly, "You?" Zach was asking for a way to address the other party.
After a brief moment of confusion, the doctor said: "Jimmy!"
Zach was speechless, looking at this obviously middle-aged man, no matter how he heard it, 'Jimmy' was just a nickname. It’s understandable that you’re too surprised by Toledo’s kindness, but there’s no need for you to become petty with the vampire!
Zach glanced at the nervous anticipation in the other person's eyes and said, "Okay, Jimmy, how did your surgery go?"
Place the exposed heart back into the baby's body. Speaking of which, this happened a month ago.
"Perfect!" Jimmy said, probably because he was proud of it. "The operation went perfectly! That baby can live like any normal person for the rest of his life! Thanks to Tori... Mr. Zach still cares about this matter! "
Zach didn't care, and said, "Mr. Lose, I don't need you in my home, my city, to show your respect by calling me." How considerate~
"Yes, yes!" Jimmy nodded vigorously, and it could be seen that he was working hard to adjust his performance to meet Zach's requirements. Of course, this is difficult. In Western society, it is enough to be ignorant and low-profile towards vampires. Anyway, it is a fact. But in Barton, you have to 'pretend to be equal'~
"When I was in Vega, I didn't see any relevant news." Zach was not chatting, but guiding the other party to tell the reason for being here. Humph, who knows when he will be able to speak clearly if he lets this guy do his own psychological training. It's better for Zach to try it himself, "I remember that Barton's hospital completed a series of transplant operations before, and the news was reported for a long time. Isn't Vega a milestone in medical progress?" The milestone was not what Zach said, it was a month ago. This is what Dr. Jimmy said on the phone.
"Ah." Jimmy's complex emotions subsided a bit, and there was a clear look of disappointment on his face, "The Sabbat never cares about human medical matters." Still nervously glanced at Zach, "So the shared organ system When being abused, the Sabbat had no reaction until they discovered that the beneficiaries of the abuse of the system were the humans they selected as vampire descendants. The vampire relationship is just an advancement in human medical treatment, which affects..." A glance Zach, I dare not finish.
Zach continued, "It affects the quality of vampire inheritance."
Remember, the reason why the shared organ system is abused is that when some humans who have not yet become vampires want to become vampires, their immortal bodies are better than when they were human!
A prettier chin, younger looking organs, smoother skin…
Things that had never been considered for vampires' immortality have appeared due to the advancement of human medical treatment.
Jimmy lowered his head, not daring to look at Zach. It's quite normal. The abuse of the organ sharing system has actually not been resolved yet. Powerful people still use their power to get better body parts. The vampire paid attention to this question for a short time and then looked away.
In the final analysis, this problem for vampires only makes the descendants of higher quality. For example, if a famous general like James' father had not been replaced with younger parts to maintain his human life stage and welcome eternal life, hehe, after two or three identity rotations, he might become an insignificant role. But if with the advancement of human medical treatment, the general can eliminate his disadvantages of human age and bring him a longer quality of influence and power in his immortal vampire life!
It is the human system that is abused, and the vampire who benefits from it is ultimately immortal!
After the Sabbat understands this truth, it is naturally impossible to pursue this issue. At most, they should remind the descendants they choose to be more cautious and not be caught by their daughter-in-law like General Lance~
As for humans, such as the doctor in front of them, after understanding this truth, they can only not look directly at any vampire.
No one can help humans understand this complex and absolutely negative emotion, including Zach, who directly advances the topic, "This shouldn't be the first time that vampires have noticed the impact of human medical treatment on vampires." Zmich was killed by Lesen Bra persecution." Zach tilted his head and said in a very casual tone, "The Sabbat should not make this kind of thing public, but you are a doctor, so you should know about the medical experiments that Zmich led in the past. Vampires are no longer Selling blood to humans shouldn't be the only thing a doctor like you who cares about milestones of progress cares about."
As mentioned before, Zach was testing the reason why the other party appeared here. Then pull out all the relevant things and make gestures. If you can rely on them, push forward. If you can't rely on them, withdraw.
Get close.
Jimmy briefly raised his head and saw that he was trying hard to adjust his mentality, "Actually, this is why I came to Barton."
Now that he was close, Zach began to connect the details of the incident. Let’s not ask about the fact that coming to Grande was not because of him. He nodded with a little recollection, "I remember Zmich's previous medical experiments, and the patients used were all people with congenital diseases." Chapman's son, it doesn't matter if he doesn't remember, Zach will summarize, "You succeeded in this The surgery and exposure of the heart are probably also congenital defects. Are you the doctor who participated in Zmich's medical experiments?"
Jimmy let out a sigh of relief, as if Zach had said all the things he couldn't bring himself to say. He nodded and kept his head bowed, "I am. Zmich's medical experiments have been testing the limits of Zmich's self-healing ability." He stared at the floor and paused for a while, "Zmich's self-healing ability It's very strange. To be honest, in the eyes of us humans, Zmich's self-healing ability is not the same as that of other vampires." Suddenly he raised his head and looked at Zach, "I believe it is the same for other clans, such as Every vampire has the ability to carry and interpret information with blood, but Lesembula can use the information carried in blood to completely interpret a person or create a new personality! For us human scientists, this is no longer a simple functional upgrade, it is Qualitative change!”
Zach blinked, because at this moment, Jimmy suddenly showed a... well, an irrefutable temperament. But this feeling came suddenly and went away quickly. Jimmy lowered his head again, "The self-healing of other vampires can be attributed to the moment when everything returns to the vampire and becomes immortal. Time will not make you grow old, you have been affected by The damage will also return to the original state in a very short period of time. No matter how the external world changes, the vampire will 'maintain' the original immortal appearance from the moment he becomes immortal. But Zimi is different. Chi's body shape changes, Chimi uses his body to accommodate external things, Chimi can actively displace vital organs..." He shook his head, "This is not self-healing, it is not 'maintaining' the original appearance of immortality. Let Chimi Stay alive under any circumstances!" With this last sentence, Jimmy looked up at Zach again. Same, it goes down very quickly.
Zach listened carefully and nodded after listening, "Nofele from the Thirteen Clan can prove your point. Vampires' self-healing has never changed their physical defects when they entered vampire life from the human period. Except for Tsimi Hey." Zach raised his eyebrows, "No vampire has the ability to change his own physiological structure after immortality. This is indeed an ability that cannot be generally summarized as self-healing." Zach curled his lips, "Also Mokavi.”
"The purpose of the Zmich medical experiment that I participated in was to use Zmich's, uh, ability that we haven't thought of a correct definition of yet. The blood of other vampires can achieve miraculous healing effects when given to other creatures. That Cmich The healing effect of Mixi's blood may also be given to other creatures, forever changing the lives of people with congenital physiological defects." His tone was lost, and there was nothing to say. Mixi's medical experiments have already It's history (Zimich's research on self-healing ability is directly related to the soul expansion that poses a great threat to vampires' lives, and this kind of research cannot be restarted). This doctor Jimmy's wish is impossible to come true.
Yes. We have had the awareness very early on that vampires don't care about human medical care, or rather look down upon it, because in front of vampires' abilities, human medical care is just a joke. The blood of vampires is already the ceiling on the topic of healing in this world!
Now you can advance this awareness. Most vampire blood is just dust attached to the ceiling. Occasionally, one or two particles fall, which makes people feel miraculous. Zmich's blood is the real ceiling!
"You have a beautiful ideal, doctor." Zach did not encourage or belittle. I just expressed the facts with respect.
If you still remember Chapman’s son, when Zach was involved in Chapman’s suicide last year and read the medical experiment records for the first time, he judged that vampire blood could not directly help with congenital diseases. But later on, after Chapman's son underwent a medical experiment, Zach gave Chapman his own blood, and his son was truly cured.
This is not just an ideal, but a path that has already seen some practical changes! It's a pity it's broken.
Jimmy shook his head, "There is no point in talking about this now. Vampires have stopped trading blood, and it is impossible for Zmich to start such a project. If you want to rely on vampires to make human medicine progress..." A long snort came from Jimmy's mouth. From his nostrils came out, "This road no longer exists." But after snoring, Jimmy's mood improved, "Fortunately, relying only on our own human technology, the results are not bad." The repair surgery for the exposed heart was perfect. , right~
Part of Zach's curiosity was satisfied, and new curiosity emerged. "Did you come to Barton to find Roy Zmich? But it sounds like you didn't expect Zmich to restart the medical trial project."
"Oh." Jimmy adjusted his sitting posture, raised his head, and looked at Zach, "When Zmich's medical experiment was stopped, Lesembra forcibly confiscated the research materials in the hands of us people." This was Zach. K knew that Jimmy also had a little fear on his face. It should be that the experience he had had was not good for him, "But Lesembra doesn't understand human science." This comment... forget it, "Like what I just said. That said, in order to understand why the self-healing ability of Zmich's blood is better than that of other vampires, we need to compare the blood of other vampires. Even our medical experiments have so-called comparison groups for reference."
Zach raised his eyebrows, "Have you studied the blood of other vampires? And Lesembra only confiscated information related to Zmich?"
"The example I just gave, I..." Jimmy's body trembled, "I have personally studied the blood of Lesembula for a period of time. As a doctor, I took advantage of the convenience of my profession to satisfy my desire for blood. Curious about some things... I, I can't ignore Lesembula's ability to carry information with blood... "
Then.
Zach's hand was held by this Jimmy, "Me! I have been trying to get in touch with the Lesenbra clan since the death of Rutelesenbra and tell them something! But they are too obsessed with internal struggles, Go grab what Lutresembra left behind, and you don’t care about me, a little doctor!” Jimmy’s face turned sideways, “So I made a decision! And I’m sure Vega is not a safe place to share this news! That’s why I’m here! Tell Tori… you, Zach!”
Zach raised his eyebrows and looked at his hand, "Tell me what?"
"Rutlesembula rules the west and rules the truth about the Sabbat! He has long used to collect different types of food reserves as a cover-up, spreading his thoughts to all the people he has 'eaten'!" Jimmy is Excited, the hand holding Zach kept shaking, "And Lutre Sembula, everyone knows that the dictator of the Sabbat has a pathological obsession with food classification preferences!"
Zach opened his mouth, "You mean..."
"Yes! Lutrecenbra relies on brainwashing to rule the Sabbat society!!"
Silence lasted for three seconds.
Zach gently took away Jimmy's hand, "Thank you for telling this." He smiled sincerely, and then said, "But I'm back in Patton now, not in the west, so I don't care~" Zach stood up, He looked at the time and said, "Let's stay for lunch~"
