"Zach, Zach, Zach, Zach..."
The mechanical, toneless voice passed through the ceiling of the first floor, then passed through the floor of the first floor, and finally penetrated tenaciously into the basement belonging to the vampires. Oh, I have to add 'men', there are two Grande vampires, right
"You go up." Louise stood up from Zach's arms and stood in front of the mirror. She looked at the two red dots corresponding to the position of her eyes in the mirror, not knowing what she was thinking.
Perhaps in order not to stimulate Louise's feelings, Zach did not stand within the range of the mirror. According to Zach's own words, whether it's walking in the sun or being able to reflect images, once you master it, it's like a baby learning to walk. You can't stop and go back to a state where you can't.
It's probably like someone who has the talent of being able to raise his ring finger alone. Once he discovers that he can do it, he can't even pretend that he can't. That naughty ring finger will automatically raise it, mocking those who don't have this talent.
"No need." Zach didn't move, still maintaining his original posture, as if Louise would lean back into his arms again if she winked.
"You told Benjamin to call if needed." Yes, that mechanical repeated call came from Benjamin who had just put down the phone in the office. Our Alpha really didn't want to go to the basement, so he used this method to harass Zach and Louise during their alone time.
Louise stared at the red light in the mirror, "Go ahead, I'm fine." The moment Louise's eyebrows furrowed slightly, she straightened them out immediately, "I just, just..." She turned her head and looked at Zha with a smile. Grams, "I think too highly of myself." As he spoke, he had turned away his eyes - this was an inverted parabola, Zach, the ground, and Louise's eyes returned to the mirror in front of her.
Zach frowned. Looking at Louise's profile, "You don't think highly of yourself, you just misunderstood."
"Oh?" The corner of Louise's mouth twitched slightly, but it still formed a slightly curved smile, which was very reluctant.
"When I..." Zach walked up behind Louise, and the bright red light belonging to Louise in the mirror was invaded by Zach's image. Zach's hands pressed on Louise's shoulders. Let the slightly trembling red light in the mirror stabilize, "When I tell you for the first time, you are very suitable to be my descendant and become Toledo. What do you think I am expressing."
"Express..." The last sound was elongated, and Louise felt the 'temperature' against her back. This was just an anthropomorphic way of saying that she felt that the blood behind her was higher than hers and was the origin of her current blood. "I can Like you, confident, not feeling dangerous, strong, free..." Louise probably said all the complimentary words.
Zach smiled. Leaning his chin on Louise's hair, he looked at the red light in the mirror, "Now that you are, do you still feel that way?"
"Not at all." Louise wanted to shake her head, but found that the chin resting on her head wouldn't let her move. "I'm not confident. It took me two bottles of blood to heal a small burn. I don't feel safe either. I don’t even dare to leave this basement. And I obviously don’t feel strong. I can feel Benjamin’s aura, and I can even imagine him killing me instantly... "
Louise still smiled. But the mirror couldn't reflect this self-deprecating smile - "I shouldn't have listened to how Benjamin educated Matthew before, haha." She paused, "I don't even feel free. Now I just feel I am stupid, not even as good as a 'general'."
Zach's reflection in the mirror smiled. Joking schadenfreude. This will probably be the tone of this conversation. Both parties are carefully controlling their expressions to prevent the topic from becoming heavy. "Then let me tell you now, you thought you were wrong from the beginning. You will say that I deliberately gave Are you going to set yourself up and then burn the bridge?"
"Yes." Anyway, it looked like Zach wouldn't respond to Benjamin's call for a while. Louise took Zach's hand and put it on her shoulder, wrapping it around her waist. The image in the mirror became funny, and Zach was holding something hollow, as if he was performing a mime.
"What I mean is actually very simple. You are suitable for Toledo."
After a small silence, Zach spoke again, "If Matthew is not a werewolf, will you let him become your descendant?"
"Isn't it too early for me to consider this issue?" Louise didn't know where Zach was leading the conversation. It was good not to make the topic heavy, but it couldn't solve the problem - "I can't even find this basement now. I dare not go out, the descendants are too far away.”
"I remember that my 27th descendant was an Indian." Zach said suddenly, "Well, it was necessary for the war at that time, and the colonists needed an enemy to tell us why every time we stepped on Entering an Indian’s house, it turns to ashes.”
Louise was not prepared to hear these words at all, so she opened her mouth but made no sound.
"I told him that he is very suitable to be Toledo. He can stay at home and wait for us to die, but he takes the risk of wandering outside."
"Are you talking about the first time you met me?" Louise seemed to have touched Zach's thoughts, "You know, I am not taking risks, I know that Coulson and James are watching at the intersection, I am safe. "
"Is it safe?" Zach raised his eyebrows and smiled. It turned out that it was not safe at all. Louise almost became Zach's food. "He also said so, because he was just a bait, and the Indians at that time also needed it. Someone from our side, come and tell them why the souls of colonist soldiers after death are not controlled by wizards." Zach tilted his head, as if he was talking about something he was not very interested in, "Of course not, those souls A martyr, a martyr, upward, straight to heaven.”
"So..." Louise leaned on Zach's shoulder, "That war was much more tragic than what you and Benjamin told Matthew."
"And it's cruel. My 27th descendant is such a victim that both parties agree to, a two-faced man. He gives us the information we need, and he gives them the information they need."
Louise opened her mouth again, then closed it. He understood, the victim, indeed. The colonists could not change their strongest force - the thirteen clans were excluded from the Indian homeland by the laws of the world, and the Indians could not change the souls of the soldiers to ascend to heaven. Such a double-faced man who was sent to the center gave up his original life and beliefs and conveyed two facts that neither party could change.
"Then I asked him." Zach continued the story. "Ask this Indian, the descendant obtained through an exchange, if that day comes, will you create your own descendants? Vampire descendants."
"Did he answer?" Louise had to ask because of Zach's silence.
"He didn't have time to answer." There was no regret in Zach's eyes, "He has never been able to master the ability to move in the sun. During a werewolf attack, he was wiped out by his own tribe."
This is a fucked up story, and Louise has completely lost the ability to accept what Zach is saying.
Louise frowned, pushed away Zach's hand on her waist, turned around, faced Zach, "You'd better go up, you make me feel worse."
"Haha." Zach still smiled, "That's because you were attracted by the process of the story. Where is the beginning?"
Louise stared at Zach's slightly curved eyes and was silent for a while. "An Indian has become your descendant." Zach nodded, "Voluntarily and with a purpose." Louise said with encouragement. over. Then, his eyes changed in an instant, and he had an epiphany. Suddenly.
"Purpose?" Louise looked at Zach uncertainly. "Are you trying to tell me the purpose of becoming a vampire?"
Zach nodded, "Yes. He has a purpose. His purpose is to enter the enemy's camp to obtain information. Apart from these, he did not even think about the meaning of becoming a vampire after entering, and what this new life process represents. "
"I..." Louise lowered her head and began to think. "I don't seem to have any purpose. But, I did think about what I would be like if I became a vampire."
Zach immediately answered with a smile, "Like me."
"Yeah." Louise was amused. But he immediately shook his head. Although he was still smiling, he turned around and continued to face the mirror, "Look, I just said, I think highly of myself. I am nothing like you."
"It's just now." These were probably the only words of comfort Zach said, "You haven't answered my question yet, Matthew."
"Okay." Louise couldn't stop Zach from hugging her from behind again, "First of all, I don't know how you want me to answer. I'll just say what I think is right."
Zach's image in the mirror gave him an encouraging look.
"No. Matthew is not suitable to be a vampire." Louise pursed her lips, "Well... I guess I can't represent vampires..."
"You can represent Toledo." Zach continued before Louise could say anything, with a smile, "I said yes, don't argue with me."
"You say so." So Louise, who couldn't even leave the basement, began to speak on behalf of Toledo. Is this confidence? Let's see, "He is so sincere, honest, and kind..." Complimentary words Begins to change in the opposite direction, "easily controlled, rigid, and disciplined..."
Louise stopped suddenly and glanced sideways at the smiling Zach, "I shouldn't say anything, I heard Benjamin pacing up there."
"It doesn't matter." Zach also glanced sideways at the ceiling of the basement, "Second question, what if it's Benjamin? If possible, would you turn Benjamin into your descendant?"
"Zach!" was the protest, and Louise was not prepared to answer this 'dangerous' if.
"Okay, that's easy." Zach was still smiling, but he gave up so easily, "James, this doesn't require any ifs. If you are willing, you can complete it now."
"No! Oh God! No!" Louise shook her body from side to side, pushed Zach away, seemed really angry, and turned to Zach with a 'disgusted' expression on his face. It really should be disgusting. If you hadn't considered Grande's physical and mental growth as a teenager, and described all the 'things' Zach and Louise did on the second floor to complete the inheritance, and replaced Zach with James, this scene would be true. Disgusting, due to human nature.
"Your expression is not very good. You do know that 'General', Ian, is also my descendant, and the Indians I just mentioned." Zach kept smiling. Of course he guessed what Louise was thinking. , "It's not inheritance, it's just like what we did last night."
"No! Don't let me imagine that scene again, James, uh..." Louise looked at Zach helplessly. Maybe she should have discovered something now. Her current expression didn't require any force, "Do I have to answer this question?"
Zach tilted his head a little, yes.
"James is stubborn and rigid in a different sense from Matthew. No, I will not let him become... Toledo."
Zach did not respond and kept smiling, as if this answer was not comprehensive enough.
"Uh..." Zach's look forced Louise to continue to improve his answer, "But, you mentioned Ian and 'General', if, I mean if, James encounters the same situation..."
"A dangerous situation," Zach added. "A very, very dangerous situation."
Even if Louise expresses dissatisfaction, Zach will ignore it with a maintained smile, so she curls her lips and says, "Yes, if it was such a dangerous situation, I would want to save him. After all, he is our friend, and I don't want him to die." , was dragged to Crowley or something... And then, if, if I am like you, I accidentally get the timing wrong... "
"It's not careless, it's just trying to avoid accidents." Zach raised his eyebrows. Everyone recalled the process of becoming a vampire by 'General' and Ian. They were all helpless accidents. Zach had no choice. Either watch them die, or let them live as vampires.
Louise pursed her lips and frowned, "Okay, if I try my best to avoid accidents, then I will accept turning James into my descendant." Then, "But this is to save him, not because I want him to Become my descendants.”
Zach nodded, "Sounds good, so you are the one who rescues. Even if there may be an accident during the rescue process, it will not stop you from carrying out rescue when others are in danger, very, very dangerous." .”
Wait, what is Zach doing? Is he stacking up the praise for being a vampire and becoming a Toledo (confident, dangerous, powerful, free...) before corresponding to Louise a little bit
Louise seemed to notice something, "Yes, but that's because his danger is nothing to me now. I can save him..."
Zach interrupted with a smile, "I think we can turn this into a game - 'Do you want to turn the people around you into vampires?' Louise, please, please answer, it's just a game. Where's Benjamin, we want to Make Benjamin your descendant? Of course, if.”
"No, I won't answer this if." Louise shook her head resolutely. No matter what she thought, Zach had already mastered the conversation, "This game is not fun, Zach."
"Then let me do it." Zach looked like he was thinking seriously, then shook his head, "No. Although Benjamin is very powerful now, he is only a little weaker than me." Uh, "But I doubt if he Become Toledo and be as powerful as you are now."
Zach regained his smile and looked at Louise, "Of course, this is just my opinion. You can have your own ideas. I know, I know, you are thinking that I dare to say this because I am better than Benjamin. . Haha, I admit it.”
The ceiling trembled, and Benjamin's roar exploded throughout the Grand, "Zach! Are you going to get out?"
Zach glanced at the ceiling, stopped smiling, and looked at Louise, "Do I still need to continue?"
Louise had already sunk into thinking and shook her head, "No, I understand."
Zach nodded, gave Louise a final hug, and left the basement.
Do you understand? In fact, there is nothing mysterious. It’s just that when life enters another stage, the gap between expectations and reality makes people stagnate.
What Zach did was simple, let Louise throw away her useless expectations, that's it. (.)
