"You know what's interesting?" Zach patted Seth on the shoulder as he parked the car. "You and I, we really don't have long memories at all, and we are still doing things for that guy Quest. And it was all my instigation. Hey, you keep up..."
Seth was too lazy to pay attention to the vampire's verbose self-talk. Along the way, this guy kept telling stories since he first came to Barton. At that time, even Anthony just worked at the Quinn Veterans Home during the day, and went out with vampires and werewolves at night to deal with some small aliens who were looking for trouble.
Zach talked all the way, and just as he mentioned that Anthony met a volunteer woman at an event, the old car drove into the nursing home. Seth finally no longer had to listen to the gossip of the current mayor. He turned around and stretched out his arm to help the verbose vampire unbuckle his seat belt and open the door. Obviously urging this guy to get down quickly!
The vampire didn't realize anything, so he narrowed his eyes and smiled, "I didn't expect you to be so considerate."
Seth pouted, leaned back in the chair, and closed his eyes.
Zach got out of the car and knocked on the front window, "Aren't you going in with me?"
Seth opened the car door, got out of the car, and walked directly outside the nursing home. He only said, "I'm going to look around."
The vampire raised his eyebrows, "That's right. If the hunters knew about Nuo's commission, they would definitely arrange it here."
Seth's face sank. Sure enough, the vampire gave up on entering directly and followed Seth, observing the surroundings to confirm whether there were any traces of hunters entering here. But the vampire's mouth was not idle, "Where did I talk just now? Oh yes, Anthony met Serena Jep at a charity sale..."
Seth's pupils rolled up, but the white of his eyes could not be completed. The ink black from top to bottom was smudged and spread across the entire white of his eyes. Then Zach frowned. He supported Seth, whose mouth was open and his whole body was so soft. Seeing a thick black ink rush into the air, hovering above the two of them for a while, then exploding in all directions.
Zach curled his lips and muttered in a low voice, "The devil is really convenient." He didn't know what he was referring to. Escape from dialogue or reconnaissance.
Zach held Seth's container and waited boredly. 'Seth's' eyelids trembled slightly, this guy should be grateful that Seth was not too low-level, or a novice like Mike, and that the container itself was still alive. It’s just that the life state is too weak.
The curiosity about this guy's true identity only stayed in the vampire's head for a short while. The vampire, who was a little dizzy due to the sun, irritably held 'Seth' with one hand, took out the wine bottle with the other, and took a sip. .
Thick black like ink gathered above the head. Zach sighed again, 'It's so convenient. ’ He casually raised his chin, which was a weak container.
Black was like a surging swarm, pouring into the air of the container. The trembling eyelids opened, and the flashing bright red was hidden under the black. When the black covering the entire white of the eyes was closing in towards the middle, Seth pushed away the tight embrace. My own Zach said calmly. "Safe. You can go in, I'll watch from the outside."
Zach pouted. He nodded and walked towards the main entrance stairs of the nursing home.
It was no different from the last time he came here. Zach walked up the wide stairs, opened the door, and stood at the empty reception desk. Zach rang the bell on the stand.
It seemed that she was still the same female receptionist as last time. She glanced at Zach. As usual, he handed over a wooden box and said coldly, "Put the things here."
Zach took out some miscellaneous items such as watches, keys, and wallets, and then shook his wine bottle in front of the other person. When the other person's eyes were filled with red, he stuffed it back into his pocket.
It was still the same male nurse who led the way last time. He pushed open the inner door, waved to Zach impatiently, and walked in front. Everyone still remembers that the male nurse told Zach last time that no one was allowed to visit where Pochi was.
But this rule is really meaningless. Seth was brought here by Quest, and Zach himself has Mrs. Quinn’s permission, so he can come anytime. I'm afraid Quan won't care about this place that doesn't have a good reputation in people's minds. It should be the role of money.
The maze-like corridor is constantly circling towards the spiral staircase in the center. At the outermost edge, Zach also found several corresponding marked locations on the drawings that Nuo showed him when he was distracted. It is the joint point where the peripheral protective net is spliced, or the ventilation duct.
But Zach estimated that if he really planned to use that backup method, the success rate would be zero. Because the density of the rooms inside is too high. This is already Zach's second visit, and he has completely figured out the structure of this sanatorium.
The corridor that Zach is walking on now, which is the first floor, is probably full of all the staff. Downstairs, the underground level that is truly level with the ground is used to care for patients with violent tendencies, and above, it is where patients whose conditions are under control stay.
Speaking of which, this sanatorium is very strange both in terms of architectural design and interior style. I don’t know what the predecessor of this facility was.
Finally, after walking around for a long time, the two came to the stairwell. Zach seemed to have thought of something and looked up the stairs.
Sure enough, the guy who smiled at me last time was still there! He leaned his belly on the guardrail and leaned half forward. The bright sunshine from the patio enveloped him, and he waved to Zach with a smile.
Zach smiled and waved back, moved slightly closer to the male nurse in front of him, and asked softly, "Why does that guy always smile at me?"
The male nurse looked up, frowned, put the whistle on his chest into his mouth, pointed at the guy and blew hard!
The sharp and piercing whistle echoed in the cylindrical stairwell. The simpering guy trembled, with a frightened expression on his face. He yelled and shrank his body and quickly retreated to the wall. He looked a little awkward while hugging his thin body. The big head sat down, shaking with fear.
"It's better than him crying in front of you!" The male nurse didn't seem to be prepared to answer Zach's question. He was very professional. After all, it was ***.
Zach curled his lips, a little disappointed. If people here don't like small talk, then the method of obtaining information through dialogue, like ordinary detectives, is not feasible.
The male nurse urged Zach to follow him just like last time, and then opened the door to the basement level. Zach once again came to this intensive care area full of 'modern art' atmosphere. I wonder if Poch will be surprised by his arrival
Speaking of which, Zach himself was quite irresponsible. He agreed to Mrs. Quinn's affairs and came just once.
It was just that time that Zach rekindled Pochi Quinn's will to fight, and the effect was so good that he decided to stop talking nonsense and wait for the opportunity to return to the outside world. Mrs. Quinn was no longer actively asking Zach to come.
Let’s call it a review this time.
The two of them stood in the innermost room, with another male guard still sitting next to them. Zach was already very familiar with the process. He smiled and asked the nurse to borrow a chair. With a pair of red eyes, he said, "It's still an hour, but please open the door in fifteen minutes to make sure I'm safe."
The male nurse was stunned for a moment and nodded. It was quite reasonable. His brain immediately accepted this idea that was not his.
Zach stood aside and did not show his figure in front of Pochi's door. Two strong male nurses rushed into the room, and soon there were sounds of struggling and yelling.
Pochi's voice was a little dry, as if he hadn't spoken for a long time, "What the hell are you doing! Let me go! Is that old guy here again! I don't want to see her!..."
Zach stood by the door and raised his eyebrows. Does Mrs. Quinn come here often? After the noise ended, Zach put a smile on his face and stepped into this special box with a childish step, "It's me, surprise."
Pochi was the same as last time, lying awkwardly on the small single bed, his body slanted, his clothes were messy and wrinkled by the belt, and one of his socks was kicked off. Zach looked at Pochi and couldn't help but really laughed.
This time, Zach directly placed the chair next to Pochi's bed. He first raised his hand to signal to the other person to make sure that he would not scream like last time, and then he helped the guy up.
"With you staring at me like this, I don't know whether you are happy or unhappy that I'm here." Zach said, looking at Pochi who had been staring at him with a strange expression since he came in.
Zach waited for a while, but Pochi still had no intention of speaking. Zach frowned. Anyway, the purpose of coming this time was not to catch a guy, so he had no objection to passing the time.
Zach moved the chair to the edge of the bed, sat down, and leaned against the back of the chair to look at Pochi.
"What are you here for?" Pochi had seen enough, turned his eyes, and asked coldly, "Old man, did you ask you to stop me again?"
Zach raised his eyebrows and pursed his lips first.
We know that Mrs. Quinn did not ask Zach to come. This time Zach came here purely to collect information about Neil and Daphne. I just used this reason to rationalize Zach's entry.
If a vampire really wants to get someone out of here, he can drink blood all the time, glare at people all the time, and add Seth who is no worse than Mike, just like he did in the hospital for the Welsh incident before, it can be said that there will be no obstacle. Just like this, I can't give Nuo a reasonable explanation.
Porky Quinn was Grande's first case after her comeback, and the entire professional circle knew about it. Zach just used his name to fulfill Mrs. Quinn's instructions. Unexpectedly, he actually got into some trouble.
Zach's pursed lips opened and he smiled at Pochi, "Do you need to stop it?"
A fierce light flashed in Pochi's eyes! The body sitting on the bed suddenly moved forward, and the hands bound behind his back were obviously pulled up by something. The sound of the belt being suddenly tightened made a buzzing sound in the small 'box'.
"You can't stop me!" Pochi glared at Zach, "I must destroy her! Nothing you say is of any use!"
Zach pouted, he still didn't know what was going on. He looked around at the surrounding area, which was sealed without any gaps, and said lightly, "How to destroy it?" (...)
