The power turned on by itself, and the blue in the picture was peeled off piece by piece. The face appeared on the screen again, "You turned off the power!" It seemed very angry, and the mop-style braids were shaking in front of the screen.
Zach looked at the screen and blinked again.
"A Toledo doesn't know how to use human things! I almost thought you did it on purpose!"
Zach had a sincere smile on his face, "Haha, how could I do it on purpose?"
The person on the screen was silent, moving his face up and down, and finally placed a pair of deep-set eyes in the middle of the screen, looking at the vampire.
Zach watched for a while, his smile became wider, and he turned his head left and right in front of a pair of eyes on the screen, "Do you want to see if my face has changed?" Zach put his face that was already very close to the screen again, "This How does it work? Can you see clearly? Do I have to face the screen or, uh, the plug." Zach thought of something and suddenly tilted his head and looked at the power socket behind the TV cabinet.
"You really don't give up, right, Toledo." Papa Midnight on the screen shook his head, "Do you want to know how I talked to you like this?"
"Of course not." Zach used a very convincing tone, but his body was completely tilted to the side of the TV cabinet. "I just want you to take a good look at my face. It's only fair that you show it to me."
The person on the screen also moved their eyes, but soon, a profile face was completely pressed against the screen, with half of the cheek pressed against the fluffy, thick, black, messy braid, stuck to the inside of the screen. His eyes widened, staring at the frame of the screen.
Because Zach had moved completely behind the TV cabinet, reached out his hand, and pressed the plug.
"If you pull it out, never let Teddy go back!" the person on the screen shouted in his strange accent. Oh, I forgot to mention, this accent is the accent that the original Indians had when they were forced to learn the federal language during the colonial period. but. Nowadays, no one can use such an awkward accent anymore. Except this one.
Zach turned his head and looked at Five's face.
Wes hesitated for a moment, "We tried all methods, fast forward, rewind, pause, and even reshuffle the recording. As long as he appears, it is impossible to disappear." Wes looked apologetic and glanced at James , "The delay for so long actually has nothing to do with James."
Wes actually took this time to defend James.
Zach, who was leaning on the side of the TV cabinet, twitched his lips. The moment Papa Midnight's face appeared on the screen, he knew there was no need to blame James. These people could appear in Grande safe and sound. Already worthy of gratitude.
Now that it's been said, there's no need to act. Zach moved the plug in his hand, "What about unplugging it?"
"He threatened us, that's the same thing." Wes pursed his lips, "But what he threatened us is that if we don't send him to Grande, we won't let Teddy back."
Zach raised his eyebrows. Papa's unexpected appearance at midnight almost made him forget that this incident was still the missing Teddy.
Zach returned to the screen. Looking at the person in the picture, he rolled his eyes sideways and rubbed his flattened braids. Complaining, "Look what you did?! Do you know how difficult it is to find someone who can do such a hairstyle in this day and age!"
Zach, however, had no intention of continuing his midnight 'conversation' with Papa. History has not given our Zach any positive revelations. Regardless of the fact that the vampires lost the alien war four centuries ago, as far as the history we know is concerned, we still remember the previous midnight 'conversation' between Zach and Papa. What happened
In the cemetery in the West End, Zach was deceived by this guy who was the same as the Indian Holy Master into the Dead Apostle incident that he did not want to participate in. In the end, in Grand's backyard, Toledo's only descendant was 'cheated' away . He also hooked up with Revenge to become Alpha.
The experience brought by levels and even lifespans are all very different, and all of Zach's little actions have no meaning to Papa Midnight.
"Stop talking nonsense." Zach waved his hand impatiently, "What do you want."
"So direct?" The guy on the screen looked puzzled, "Toledo, have you given up? Don't you even try to threaten me?"
"It makes no sense." Zach tugged at the corner of his mouth, "Unless you want to get an extra scratch on your other cheekbone." Zach looked at the face in front of him again, "Symmetry doesn't suit you. "
"No!" The screen shook again, the strong nose was squeezed and deformed in the center of the screen, and the mop-style braid covered the entire 'lens', "This is not dramatic at all! It is not interesting at all! We should plot against each other! Fight with each other! Then... "
He suddenly stopped talking, and his thick black braids swung towards the 'camera' as he turned his head rapidly. Papa Midnight had only the back of his head facing the camera.
Jet black, oily hair stained with bright red, swayed in the corner of the screen, and then the camera seemed to be flipped, and everything was pitch black.
Zach frowned, patted the TV, and turned to look at the five people. Everyone looked like they didn't know. Zach looked back at the screen thinking and remained silent.
The screen trembled, but the background changed inexplicably. It was no longer the interior of the home where I first saw it, but a bright square-like place, surrounded by people with unfamiliar faces.
Of course, what remains unchanged is Papa Midnight and his mop-like braids!
"Ah! Sorry..." He looked around where he was, with an irritated look on his face, "Uh... It's really not the right time, I'm a little busy now. Uh..."
The screen turned pitch black again, trembled again, and returned to the room. The braid on the screen swayed from side to side, "Ah, it's much better here! Oh, where did I just say it?"
Zach frowned, and his eyes were not on Papa Midnight, but looking carefully at the four corners of the screen. Although it can be seen that it is the interior of a certain room, if you look carefully, you can find that this is not a federal decoration style.
"Hey! Hey!" The face on the screen suddenly came closer, and the messy braids blocked every corner. "Focus! Toledo! Look at me when I'm talking!"
Zach's gaze returned to the pair of eyes on the screen, he curved his lips without any pretense, and shook his head, "You who have not revealed your true identity for four centuries would actually ask others like this. You are so funny."
"Has it been so long?! Time flies, time flies!" Papa's eyes suddenly left Zach at midnight and scanned the other people in the room, "That's it for today! Let me show you something. "
The screen suddenly moved down, the cloak covering the formal attire was lifted, and a fat humanoid pendant was hung on the necklace on the chest.
Everyone in the Grande squinted their eyes, staring at the pendant facing the 'lens', and moved closer to the TV without realizing it.
As soon as the cloak was closed, the patterns of patterns fell, and Papa Midnight's face reappeared on the screen, "Do you want him back? Give me Benjamin!"
"Impossible..." The vampire who recognized what the pendant was had a gloomy face. Before he could finish speaking, the screen turned blue.
There was a clicking sound of mechanical operation. Zach lowered his head. A video tape was ejected from the player and got stuck in the slot. (..)
