Although it is not the weekend, there are still many people on Noel Beach. There are teenagers on vacation, energetic young people, and mothers with children.
Zack, who was wearing formal clothes, carried his shoes and socks, and first found Mollman, who was wearing sunglasses and staring at the sea on a lifeguard tower erected on the beach.
"Do you teach people to swim?" Zach stood in the shadows as much as possible, looking around at the crowd on the beach, and asked Moorman, who seemed surprised to come to see his work.
"Don't teach me." When the vampire talked to him, etiquette was still very important. He jumped down and approached Zach with a bright smile. "You know, my swimming skills are not suitable for humans..." He closed his mouth, I saw Brian behind Zach, well, human.
Zach ignored it, "Can you find him a coach? I have something to deal with."
"Uh, okay." Moorman looked at Brian curiously, and he looked familiar, and asked Zach, "Who is he? Did I see him in Grand yesterday? (Give James information about the body) )"
"The burden left by history." Zach said it bluntly. But it doesn't matter, Zach keeps saying this in front of Brian, and it doesn't affect Brian's closeness to Zach at all.
Mollman was stunned and suddenly raised his eyebrows, "Oh! Is he the child who was nearly drowned by a vampire more than ten years ago? He has grown so big!"
Zach frowned, "Can you find him a swimming coach?"
"Okay!" Moorman smiled, "There are summer swimming lessons over there where parents bring their children, but he has to learn with a group of children."
Zach curled his lips and whispered to himself, "Just right." Before Moorman could wonder what this meant, Zach waved his hand, "Keep an eye on him. I'll pick him up later." After that, he was ready. leave.
"Hey, wait." Moorman grabbed Zach and started to squirm, "Zach? Can I ask you a few questions?"
"What." Zach frowned. He had already discovered Nowa 'General', lying in the middle of a row of beach chairs. Surrounded by men and women sunbathing.
"The latest article in "Urban Legends" was probably about Bishop Manor." He said with a bit of hesitation, "I'm going to write to the author to ask for details. Since you're here, how about I ask you directly?"
"What's there to ask?" Zach said a little impatiently, "It's been written clearly enough, don't say you can't see that 'Wraith' refers to evil spirits, just stay away from that place."
"Of course I can tell." Moorman smiled. "That's not what I want to ask. Is Grande involved in anything at the manor? I didn't see it in the article. The protagonist seems to be just Mrs. Bishop who ran away after divorce in yesterday's newspaper. The whole story is completely about her being in the manor. He died unjustly and became a vicious spirit, but the ending was too hasty, is there no follow-up?"
Zach curled his lips, "Of course, it was, but it was later deleted by the magazine editor." Zach tugged at the corner of his mouth and looked at Mollman with a curious expression. Riley was right, these Barton aliens. I am really curious about Grande’s movements, and I really did the right thing by using Grande to increase the subscription rate of the magazine.
"This is a magazine after all, not an intelligence book for you to pry into Grande's internal affairs." Zach snorted lightly, "Don't pry into things you don't need to know."
Surprisingly, this was an obviously irritated answer. It didn't dampen Moorman's enthusiasm. He raised his eyebrows and finished with a smile, "So it's 100% confirmed! It's someone from within Grande who is writing the article! You changed the topic last time without telling who it was?"
Mollman seemed to be immersed in his own world of reasoning, "I made some speculations myself! The person who made you and Riley meet, right? I observed it when I went to Grande yesterday. It was Louis Silk?"
Zach narrowed his eyes and was offended. Why did the guy in front of him want to connect his girlfriend with the seductress! Louise has nothing to do with her former career! It’s not that Zach cares, but the professional and racial prejudice reflected in this kind of thinking makes us, a vampire who cares very much about equality, uncomfortable.
"..." Seeing the vampire's eyes, Moorman stopped in time, "Uh, I won't say anything anymore."
"Very good." Zach pushed Brian past, "Keep an eye on him." He ignored Mollman and walked in the direction of Nuo.
It was definitely not an illusion. The vampire's senses told Zach that someone was paying attention to Noho 'General'.
Approaching the lounge chair where the two of them were sitting, Zach stood under the umbrella, like a hesitant 'solo male tourist', looking at the row of beach chairs with men and women in swimsuits, and at the open-air bar not far away. , seems to be considering where to 'take action'.
A faint smell of blood emanated from General Nohe's body, and the colorful beach shirt hid the simple bandage inside.
Zach walked to the couch next to the two of them, but the two chose a good spot. The couch was full of people, and Zach had no space. So, Zach stretched out his finger and clicked on a girl in a bikini with her eyes closed and concentrating, with a smile on her face, "I must say, your breasts remind me of my ex-girlfriend, they are exactly the same, which makes me curious about how they feel. It’s the same when you get up.”
The girl opened her eyes, looked down at her chest, then looked at Zach, rolled her eyes, "If this is your way of trying to get my attention, you succeeded!" Then she wrapped the blanket around her, "Pervert! "After cursing lowly, he quickly stayed away from this vulgar guy who let down his good skin!
Zach didn't care, put down his shoes, and lay down on the vacant lounge chair. To the people watching here, this was just a very failed 'shot'.
A somewhat intermittent, breathless laughter came from Nuo, "You always surprise me, Zach. Where did you learn this, "One Hundred Failed Pick-Ups"."
"Something like that." Zach also used a relaxed tone. It can already be seen that the two of them are in a bad situation, so it doesn't hurt to lighten the atmosphere a little, "'General' looks very bad, is he still conscious?"
"Not awake." Nuo replied in a low voice, with hesitation in his tone. "I didn't have any painkillers, so I stuffed him with the Valmina that Smith gave me as a clue. Then he kept waking up like this. I was in a confused state." Nuo's tone was self-deprecating, "It makes my movements much easier."
Zach opened his mouth and suddenly heard 'Valmina' again. I couldn't tell what I felt, so I shook my head on the recliner and put aside the emotions I shouldn't have, "I have experienced 'Varmina', but I still don't know what impact it can have on people. You know what I mean. Huh." Zach glanced around at the people around him. No one among the civilians enjoying the sun and beach paid attention to the conversation between strangers.
"Basically, it's still a hallucination." Nou understands what Zach means. The vampire's 'Valmina' experience cannot be applied to humans, "but it seems to be more intense and connected to reality. I know the labeling of most hallucinogens They all make the illusion seem real, but this one seems to have really done it.”
Nuo turned his head and glanced at the 'general'.
"He does some things in hallucinations and actually does them in reality. But the things he does in reality are just hallucinations of imagination. Reality and hallucinations are completely reversed. This is not a weakening of rationality, but a weakening of reason. The judgment of reality has completely disappeared. I have never seen anything have such a strong effect." Nuo had a self-deprecating tone again, "Now, I am telling him, think about the beach and the sun. Everything is beautiful. , let him enjoy it."
Zach's eyes twitched. Then he reached out and picked up a drink on the small table next to the lounge chair. It was left by the girl who was taken away by Zach before. I don't know if it was strawberry or tomato juice. Anyway, the color was convenient red. Zach pricked his own finger, and the wound was scratched on the rim of the cup. "This is good. Whatever happens, you can explain it with hallucinations afterwards." He handed it to Nuo.
"Haha, it's true." Nuo took it. "Everything in the past few days, for him, I'm afraid he can no longer distinguish between reality and illusion."
Halfway through the drink, Nuo snorted as if he was comfortable, touched his hand on the abdomen of his shirt, and smiled at Zach. Then he stood up and pushed the 'general' who seemed to be sleeping in the sun, "Get up and see who is coming."
The 'General' turned his head on the recliner and saw Zach, "Yo! Zach is here!" He tried to get up, but failed. There was blood seeping out from under his colorful shirt. But, as Nuo said, between reality and illusion, the 'General' has no ability to judge, "Hey! I won't get up! It's rare to come to Nuoer Beach to bask in the sun, don't disturb me!"
"He brought a drink." Nuo handed over the drink.
"Half a glass?" The 'General' seemed to be completely immersed in his own world. He glared at Nuo and pushed away the drink Nuo handed him. "You didn't drink half of it secretly, did you? Give me a new cup!" He said sharply He waved his hands, regardless of the blood stains under his shirt becoming more and more obvious.
"You can blame us by bringing you only half a drink from now on." Nuo forced the drink to the 'General's' mouth and drank it.
The 'General's' resistance was weak. His physical condition did not allow him to make violent movements. The blood stains became increasingly clear on his shoulders, abdomen, and waist. What happened to these two guys? !
"Cough, cough, cough!" After being forced to drink half a cup of drink, the 'General' half leaned on the armrest of the recliner, coughing violently, "Please remember this for me! Zach! Damn it! It's a shame I give it to you every time. It’s all good wine! And Nuo! There’s nothing left for brothers to do!”
Zach didn't know what he was thinking, as if he didn't want to watch, "No, I'm going to deal with the people who are paying attention to you from a distance. You get ready, and I will take you out of here. We need to have a good chat."
Nuo nodded, "'Valmina' was given to him after a phone call. The statute of limitations is still a while. For insurance purposes, you still have to deal with it later to prevent him from suspecting anything."
Zach nodded, stood up and prepared to leave.
"What are you talking about?!" 'General' shouted on his recliner, attracting some people around him to look here, "Zach, you want to leave? Where to go?! No, apologize to me first!"
"Be quiet!" Nuo held the drink cup with some red liquid still left. "It's not shameful. Go and clean yourself first!" Pulling the 'General' to leave, the people around him lost interest.
After knowing that the 'General' could not distinguish between reality and illusion, Zach and Nuo no longer covered up their movements. People who had been paying attention to the situation here saw Zach walking in their direction, while Nuo and the 'General' were looking at each other. Walking in the other direction, obviously aware of what was about to happen.
But, let’s not say who they are, but they are still just people. Under the lock of vampires, there is no chance!
Is Zach going to kill these guys who put General Nowa into such a situation in broad daylight on a crowded beach? It disappointed everyone, and Zack didn't want to have any negative impact on the work that the fishman Moorman cared about. This meant that Zach couldn't cause anything to cause panic on the beach during the day.
Zach was holding his shoes and was walking casually among the crowd on the beach one moment. The next moment, he disappeared from the eyes of observers. When he searched for the figure again, he found that his eyes were red, "Go swimming, you can try it." Let’s see if we drown.”
Zach said this with a corner of his lips, and then walked around as if he was accidentally blocked by a stranger and walked towards the next target.
"Why don't you go swimming with your companion?" Zach faced a stranger who was 'blocking' his way again. "I heard that holding onto your companion's feet when swimming is a good way."
Zach continued to wander around Noel Beach seemingly casually, carrying his shoes and socks.
"Look, your friends are all going swimming, why don't you join them?" Zach said, "You know that way of swimming without using hands? You should try it."
…
Zach turned around, his mood could not be said to be happy, but probably depressed. In his consciousness, hurting his friends has earned these people death. But for these people, creating panic on Noel Beach is not what Zach is willing to do.
So Zach's boring way. oh! Zach can be 100% sure that these guys who go swimming will survive no matter how they try to die in the sea while Moorman is at work. However, if they are not allowed to experience the pain of dying, Zach uncomfortable.
In the changing cabin behind Noel Beach, Zach played with Noel again.
The 'General' was slumped in the corner of the cubicle, looking confused. It seemed that whether it was an illusion or reality, all his senses had been completely lost! The shirt that was taken off was blood red and mottled, and the simple bandage on the body was completely stained with blood...
"What's going on?" Zach frowned and stared at the 'General'.
Nuo held the shirt that the 'General' had taken off in his hand and pressed the wounds on the 'General's body. He didn't seem to know how to answer, "I, I don't know. Shouldn't your blood have healed his injuries?" ..." To confirm, Nuo lowered his head and looked at his abdomen. There was no injury at all under the unwrapped bandage. Apparently his injury has indeed healed!
However, Zach looked at the 'General's' increasingly pale face. No, this is not a cure, it is an aggravation. Not only did Zach's blood not exert its healing power as usual, but it seemed to have had the opposite effect, as if the healing power of the General's human body had been stripped away! (..)
