Well, I guess I've never given a good introduction to Grande's new showroom. Probably not necessary. After all, since the beginning of Grande's new renovation, I have been talking about everything from the decoration company's drawings, to the naughty children's visit to the nursery, and finally to the newly opened back door of the showroom on the back porch. Again.
Going through it once is my limit. After all, many times, I also feel that text is a very fucked up thing. There are only so many things that can be described in detail. Many times, all it can do is destroy the picture.
For example, I really like women who read quietly in the afternoon. They are beautiful. Just like Louise should be in this state in my mind now, but if I try to make this picture clear in detail, it is Louise who is bowing her head behind the counter in the showroom with a forehead made of about thirty hairs. A handful, which made her have to lift her fingers that were blackened by poor-quality ink when she turned the pages of the book, and moved the thing that blocked her vision behind her ears, and also dyed the tips of her ears black.
It's not beautiful at all.
The bad thing is that Louise doesn't have any consciousness yet. She frowned slightly and tried to understand what she was saying. At the same time, she compared the diagrams in the book and tried to operate the alarm on the inside of the counter.
Well, Louise was not reading a book, but an operation manual that the security company people left behind after installing the alarm the day before yesterday. The other party didn't seem to be prepared to let Grande's people take this thing seriously, and simply left a sentence, "Did you see the red button? If something goes wrong, press it!"
Obviously Louise wasn't going to be so passive. She had played with all the buttons on the console-like alarm hidden under the counter.
"What are you doing?" Zach asked as his upper body poked out from the handrail of the walkway on the second floor, bending down to look at Louise below.
"Oh." Louise didn't look up. Continuing to flip through the operation manual in his hand, "I want to use this to contact the security company headquarters, but I don't know if I made a mistake. I always call the South District Police Station, and the operator has already started to warn me that if I use it again The special line will send someone to warn us..."
"Zach." Harrison appeared next to the east door of the office. "I… "
"Not now." Zach turned back, stopped Harrison from continuing, and walked up the stairs, "Wait for me in the office."
In the backyard, Mrs. Quinn's car had just started and was about to leave. Harrison had been left in the basement by Zach to prevent Mrs. Queen from recognizing him if she might have seen a picture of Harrison. Now Harrison clearly has something to say to Zach.
Louise turned her head, watched Zach coming down the stairs against the east wall, and blinked. Probably because he realized that Zach was coming to find him, he just remembered to pay attention to his appearance now. She found the ink on her fingers, frowned and recalled where she had touched, and rubbed the back of her hand against her ear.
"Uh..." Louise looked at the stain on the back of her hand, turned her head, and saw Harrison on the second floor retreating to the office, closing the door with his lips pursed, "Is there something wrong with Harrison? Aren't you going to ask?" Probably knowing that this matter would not stop Zach from approaching, Louise wiped her ears faster.
But without a mirror, she only made the situation worse. The whole temple is black.
Before the bad situation spread to his cheeks, Zach walked around the counter with a smile, stood next to Louise, took out a handkerchief from his pocket, pushed Louise's hand away, and helped his head that was dodging slightly. Help yourself.
This picture may be good, but if you want to describe it in detail, the square towel that Zach gently wiped on the side of Louise's face is mostly used by vampires to wipe their mouths. Another fucking example.
"Maybe Mrs. Quinn mentioned that Amelia was injured." Zach was answering the question, "It made him feel a little strange. Well, I feel it."
Louise blinked. She, an ordinary human being, could not hear the conversation between Mrs. Quinn and Zach in the office, but if Harrison, the resurrected ghoul, heard something, it would not be difficult. Things to understand. Louise lowered her voice and changed the subject, "Do you think he can still think of Amelia?"
Zach raised his eyebrows, but he was not as considerate as Louise in lowering his voice, "I don't know, but we are all saying that Amelia is his girlfriend, so maybe he will be attracted to Ai Miria's feeling has become very, well, special."
"Oh." Louise pursed her lips, not knowing what she was thinking.
"You know." There was a thoughtful look on Zach's face, as if he was thinking about organizing his words, "What is Mrs. Quinn doing alone?"
Louise tried to shake her head, but her head was held down by Zach. Fortunately, her meaning was received.
"Yeah." Zach nodded to himself, "I concluded that she felt that her life might be in danger, so she asked me for my blood to protect herself."
Louise opened her eyes wide, "Mrs. Quinn knows..." Are you a vampire
nod.
"Who told her..."
"Boisen."
"Why... wait, Mrs. Quinn feels that she is in danger not because of the attack the day before yesterday, but because of Boyson?"
nod.
"Uh..." Louise lowered her gaze, seeming to be thinking about something.
Zach actually raised Louise's chin, "There's nothing to think about. The important thing is that when I gave Mrs. Quinn my blood..." Zach paused for a moment, "I intentionally reminded you to use it. If the timing isn’t right, she’ll become a vampire like me.”
Louise opened her mouth and narrowed her eyes slightly, feeling a little disbelieving, "Why?"
"Why?" Zach repeated, looking at the expression of his eyes drifting away, "It seems to be the right thing to do." Zach twitched the corner of his mouth, "Yeah." Added a word.
Then he looked at Louise again and said seriously, "Don't lead away from the topic. You know what I really want to say when I tell you this specifically."
"Oh!" Louise blinked with wide eyes, "Oh!"
Then there was the silence of staring at each other.
You know what Zach is really saying - Louise, don't let Mrs. Queen get in front of you, it's time to become a vampire.
Zach frowned, and he decided to give it a push. This matter had been delayed for too long because he thoughtfully handed the choice to Louise, "One night. Barton, all the vampires we know..."' The General' and Gangaro, "were attacked."
If Quinn and Mrs. Donna don't come, having this conversation with Louise will be the first thing Zach does when he comes out of the basement. Mrs. Quinn's private conversation just gives Zach an entry point.
Louise pursed her lips and didn't reply.
Zach frowned and glanced at the alarm hidden under the counter. "You wouldn't really expect this thing to be of any use when Grande was attacked."
This is probably just the psychology of ordinary humans. If Louise was really interested in this siren, she could have read the operation manual yesterday and even gone to the training with Benjamin, without delaying it until today - the night quilt in Grande Today after being interrupted by two groups of seriously injured vampires.
Amelia came to Zach for blood for her own safety, and now Mrs. Quinn is here. Louise, Louise, if it is for your own safety, studying this alarm is really the most meaningless behavior.
"I… "
"Last time. You said you would wait for Benjamin to come back. Benjamin has already come back and knows about the 'General'." Zach mentioned that when Benjamin was still in Newton, something happened in Grande. Zach mentioned The matter of Louise becoming a vampire was covered up by Louise on the grounds that she wanted to give Alpha respect.
The situation at that time was that Zach also felt that he could not create a descendant when Grand Alpha left. Descendants are very sensitive things in Grande, and no one wants the balance between vampires and alphas to be broken.
But now things have changed. "You already know the wolf-like Benjamin's interest in Fitz. I don't think Benjamin will care about your idea of becoming a vampire. He may be very supportive of your idea. After all, you have already been designated as my queen..."
"Mo!" Louise suddenly spoke, "I promised Mo that I would go shopping with her. But we haven't gone yet." Louise's voice was a little high, "I saw the process of you teaching 'General' "No, I don't think I'm more talented than him..." It means that before learning to walk in the sun, all activities during the day will be impossible.
The reason why Louise said this was... helpless. Although she didn't mention it explicitly, Louise observed everything. Zach in particular treats descendants, such as the recent 'General', much like she once observed Zach and Ian's interactions.
As I said before, don't think about vampires in terms of the heritage of the human race. Unlike humans who watch their offspring grow from a baby with infinite possibilities into a certain type of person, vampires can choose their offspring. Only a certain type of person can be favored by the corresponding vampire and become a vampire descendant!
Neither Ian nor "General" are satisfactory descendants of Zach. To put it in cold terms, neither of them can meet the standards of "Toledo" and are not worthy of carrying the blood of Toledo and becoming Zach's descendants. .
If Ian saved Zach at least once, and had Anthony's brother and the past friendship on the battlefield, Zach at least showed an attitude of being happy to see his old friend, and towards the 'general', Zach showed that He is much more impatient, as you can see from his parenting style - after fulfilling his responsibilities as a 'father', he will no longer care about anything.
Noticing Zach's cold face at first, Louise stopped in time, maybe even changed direction, "Can, can you wait for a while? I, I need some time to prepare." She seemed to be making a final return, But I still agreed.
"Today's weather is very nice." Zach answered expressionlessly, "I'm also curious about how effective Liszt's previous restraining order against me was." Zach didn't want to give Louise any room." Call Shang Mo and let’s go out.”
"I..." Louise's face turned slightly red.
Zach won't give her any chance to refuse, because there is an opportunity - the Banshee. Grande's two black witch guests and Alice are protections ten thousand times more powerful than vampire blood.
However, Zach must take into account the fact that there is a Colt in the Grand that may make the Banshee's protection ineffective!
The real purpose of Yuehua and Baiying coming to Barton to meet Zach is to ask about the most essential ability of the banshees - the meaning of the gap opened by 'Colt' in mourning!
Whether it's the reminder in Oz Cozier's letter or the description brought by 'General' and Gangluo, the other party is an experienced hunter! hunter? Are they the hunters in the middle who have used the 'Colt' that belongs to the hunters? Zach has no way of knowing! What Zach knows is that he also has a 'Colt' in his family. Hunters are good at using weapons, countless times better than a guy like him who needs two shots to kill someone!
Coupled with Sabbat Toledo's strange ability that cannot be perceived by others, the 'General' saw from the dark window that there were two unperceivable people under the street lights on the opposite side of the deserted street. The four Gangeros were Saw two guys standing on my front porch!
If the opponent were to attack Grande, Zach would probably have to stand in the center of the backyard before Zach would notice!
Zach had to be cautious. At least, he wanted Louise to have the ability to escape!
Leaving Louise behind and preparing to go out, Zach had already forgotten about Harrison waiting in the office. He walked out of the back door, stepped off the back porch, and went to the warehouse to pick up the car.
"We're going out." Yuehua sat on the back porch and watched Zach walk by, "Are you ready?"
Zach's already walking body turned back and glanced at the black witch, "Did you see it?"
Nodding, "I saw it when the news of the attack was broadcast on the radio the day before yesterday." What can I see? Death, let's put it in a nicer way, the process of life entering the next stage. If it's better to be more clear, Louise becomes vampire.
In other words, when Becky's attack occurred, Louise's death as a human officially began. "But we are still a little curious about how things developed to that point, so we didn't say it, and I remind you at that time, it will It's weird, just like our ancestors warned others not to turn right today." Yuehua gave Zach a smile, "But now, I have to say it, because the result that is about to happen may not be what you think. have witnessed."
"What do you mean."
The answer was Baiying beside Yuehua, "The soul corrosion of vampires will be slightly different when the descendants of different clans are born. Salem has studied some, and we think it is these differences that give the thirteen clans different Ability bias.”
Even though it was said by Baiying, who could only emphasize, Zach still didn't understand. "It means-" the ending sound lengthened, waiting for explanation.
"Louise died as a human and was reborn as a vampire. Her soul was corrupted by the blood of the vampire and imprisoned in an eternal body." Yue Hua explained again, "However, the way her soul was corroded will make her Be Gangaro, not Toledo.”
When Zach's face turned gloomy, Baiying raised his hand, his sleeves were pulled up, revealing his smooth arm and pointed at Zach, "See for yourself." (.)
