In the spirit of frugality, Zach decided not to play any tricks. He walked around the hospital in the South District, figured out the document flow of the administrative department, and left in the mind of an administrative employee, "I feel weird today." Strangely, I always felt that I had forgotten something, so when the postal service car showed up, it intercepted a certain document before it had even reached the hospital.
Two copies of the confirmation document will be confirmed at the hospital and sent to the nursing home, and then the final confirmed nursing home will send one copy back to the central transfer initiator.
Zach already knew that the hospital would make a copy for their records and keep it in the hospital, a record of the hospital that Green didn't want. Obviously, Zach was not going to work for the hospital, and he also wanted to make it convenient for Green and save him from worries. So he took the intercepted documents directly back to Grande.
The next thing to do was simple. Zach recalled the writing habits of an administrative employee he had observed in the hospital, as well as the official seal that came out while walking around the hospital. He picked up the pen and started signing and stamping.
Naturally, you have to take a look at the contents of the document.
In addition to the formal patient transfer document, there is an attachment that contains the patient's medical history, treatment plan, and recommendations for follow-up care.
Our vampire is interested in the treatment of mentally ill patients, no, he is interested in the fact that the appendix constantly emphasizes that 'patients are highly aggressive... pose a serious threat to their own life and the safety of others... and require extreme restraints' Measures… 'This is a sensational description.
Sibella recruited a 'good' guy to come over. Zach curled his lips, "Matthew." Summoning Grande's handyman but indispensable employee, "Go get these..."
He raised his eyebrows, stood up and looked at the backyard outside the window. A car was parked in the backyard, and continued, "Send him to the nursing home and tell him that the commission is over. By the way, I will collect the reward for Mr. Green's commission. I want cash, and then I can take some." As a bonus for your extra work."
Matthew obeyed the order and left the office. He looked at the guest who came up on the stairs and was rudely startled.
"Is the vampire's office up there?" The ugly man who shocked Matthew asked impatiently.
"Yes." The answer was Zach, who was standing at the door of the office, waving his hand for Matthew to go down, "You came by yourself, I thought you were notifying me to go to your house."
It's the android Earl.
"Let this guy like you appear in front of my son again? No." Earl replied, no longer paying attention to the rude Matthew, he went upstairs, and entered the office at Zach's helpless invitation.
"I thought we had settled this issue." Zach pointed to the seat in front of the desk, "I am the benefactor of your son's life. He is a little ugly, but it is better than not having a life at all."
Turned over? I'm afraid it's just Zack's own opinion.
Earl glanced at Zach with an unfavorable expression, and opened his bag without wanting to respond, "I've taken care of Grande's financial issues." He threw a bunch of documents on the table and pushed them towards Zach.
The top one is a very dated savings slip, quite an ancient thing. Zach picked it up and looked at it, raising his eyebrows, "How did you make this thing?"
"I have my own resources." Earl replied tonelessly, "Now these things are your private property..."
"My and Benjamin's." Zach was still looking at the savings list. "Our two brothers'... inherited property." He added.
Earl curled his lips and said, "Yes, it belongs to you two brothers, but you have changed your names and your last name is Grande now, so you cannot directly withdraw this savings note now."
Okay, let’s be clear. What Zach is holding is a savings slip from more than ten years ago. The date corresponds to the time when Zach and Benjamin's legitimate 'mother' passed away. The name is a surname that Zach and Benjamin have never used. In other words, this is an inheritance, an inheritance given to them by a 'mother' whom Zach and Benjamin have never met.
"These." Earl casually fiddled with the documents he had just taken out. "They are a complete set of legal documents that prove that this savings note belongs to you. If you want to cash out this note, you will need these things. .”
Zach picked up a copy, which was a certificate of change of identity information. Zachary xxx on it became Zachary Grande.
Zach frowned, "Why does it look so troublesome?"
"Because it should be so troublesome." Earl turned away his eyes impatiently, "Your identity in Barton has been clearly arranged by the mayor, and the work history attached to your identity is also clear. Before this year, you have been relying on The property status of the Grande Funeral Home, which is subsidized by the city government, is a public resource that anyone can check, so where do you get these profits that exceed your turnover?"
Zach curled his lips, is it too generous to entrust Grande's client to you soon? Haha, "So we can only arrange the money from our past." But I still agree with Earl's words.
"Yes." Earl was already looking at Zach's office casually, "And it is very convenient that you and Benjamin both have supreme identities. Even better, among the identities assigned to you by the mayor, your My mother was a runaway businessman who has passed away. This allows her past property status to be manipulated.”
"So you used the inheritance method." Zach curled his lips, but still nodded, "But why don't you do it simply and transfer it directly to my and Benjamin's private accounts..."
"Have you paid taxes?" Earl gave Zach a roll of his eyes, and this was the only expression that could be clearly seen on his face that looked like tree bark. "The inheritance tax when inheriting the inheritance, and the subsequent property taxes, Did you pay it?"
Zach touched his chin, "Of course I didn't pay the inheritance tax, because when Anthony gave me this identity, Benjamin and I didn't know that we still had inheritance to get." Just treat this as a joke, Zach He laughed to himself and shook his head, "As for the subsequent property tax, I will pay it, but it is obviously based on Grande's income..."
"So that's it, just transfer the money directly to your personal account, and you'll avoid paying taxes for eight years. You don't want to be caught, right?"
"Then, if you take this deposit receipt and withdraw cash now..." Zach looked at Earl.
Earl's eyes were on Grande's bookshelf, because Zack put the diary of his great-great-grandfather (the past history from the perspective of the android, including the betrayal of Toledo, and the android's trip to the west, and Cozier's section.) on the bookshelf. Fortunately, he still heard Zach's question, "You will be asked to prove your identity, and then you will have to go through the inheritance procedures. The information will be given to you. In addition, you will also have to pay some delay fines. So, don't expect to get the full amount. Get the money." His tone was quite cold.
Zach also looked at the diary on the bookshelf and regretted it a little - he shouldn't have been greedy and thought he could read it when nothing was wrong, he should have put it in the basement. He could only change the topic to what Earl was more concerned about, "It doesn't matter. I see that the amount is no different from what I gave you. You didn't receive payment for helping Grande do this work. I guess , you listened to my advice."
Remember, Earl was in his home study at the time and said he wanted one-third of Grand Gray's income as a reward. Then Zach gave information that an artificial person would definitely be interested in - there was an artificial person in Rimmer. There was a vampire, and it was in Barton, Flanders, who was now the Smith's son-in-law.
Sure enough, Zach succeeded. Earl turned his gaze and looked at Zach, "I have contacted Flender." His tone was no longer cold, but he was definitely not grateful either.
The other party is talking about Flanders, not Rimmer.
Zach had a hunch that Danny's daily tasks would also receive daily rejections from Eve, and there was no other news about Rimmel's movements. "Is there anything gained?"
Earl frowned and asked, "Harvest?" He stared at Zach, "When you told me about the androids in Rimel, what did you expect me to do?" He seemed to be accusing him, "You can't let me do that." I’m here to make friends! Tsk, what good will this do to you?”
"You're overthinking." Zach shrugged. "I didn't expect you to do anything. I just told you what your race should discover after regaining freedom." Zach also shook his head. Disappointed, "Can you imagine, if your tribe was not released by the alliance, it lost the motivation to exist." Zach's head moved, because he instinctively wanted to look in the direction of the diary, but stopped in time. Action, "If you had known about this earlier, you wouldn't be like this now."
Earl pursed his lips tightly and was silent for a long time, "Flanders told me the reason why he was created..." He took a deep breath and continued to look at Zach, "The custodian of souls, half-human and half-vampire Rimel In order to preserve his own human soul, he created an artificial person with the identity of a companion. He used it to extract human souls for safekeeping before Rimmer's vampire power completely exploded before they completely lost their souls. He is Eve Rimmer. The exclusive soul keeper.”
Zach crossed his arms with a pity expression on his face, "Now you know, so you can imagine. The symbiotic relationship between you and vampires is more than just a slave. It is a pity that your ancestors did not grasp this A chance." Zach raised his eyebrows, "Now, you have this chance."
Earl's eyes turned evil again, "So this is your purpose, let me dedicate myself to Rimmer!"
"Do you think Flanders is dedicated to Eve Rimmer?" Zach shook his head, "You just said it yourself, it is a companion relationship. In the end, he will accompany Eve as a vampire. The person who grows up and then keeps Eve’s soul. It is a companionate loyalty, and there is no intention of giving or not.”
Earl frowned tightly. There was no need for Zach to say these indifferent words here. He himself had obviously been thinking about this matter for a long time.
Zach gave the other person time to sort out his mood. He had already started to pack up the files on the table. These things should not be used for a while, and Zach was going to put them in the basement.
"Flanders told me that the method of making artificial humans disappeared with the death of their ancestors."
Zach stopped cleaning up and just expressed his attitude of listening carefully to what the other party said without responding. Because we already know that Eve used Rimel's seal and mentioned it when she wrote to Alpha. Eve is now the leader of Rimel, and can also be said to be the ancestor of the clan.
"There are not many androids left in Rimmer. After the Secret Alliance left, Rimmer was attacked belatedly. In order to protect the clan, many androids died. There are also many Rimmer who gave up their lives to protect the clan. After receiving their souls, their companions, the androids, chose to sleep, waiting for Rimel to research a method of resurrecting their companions." He glanced at Zach, "This is not what living people should do. In some lives, they are still bound by the loyalty you mentioned. The only difference between them and me, and the former slaves, is that they live longer!"
"You can't force everything to be good." Zach tilted his head.
"And once I become the custodian of Rimel's soul, I have to become a vampire in order to accompany Rimel. I will lose..." His mouth trembled, "The ability to reproduce..." was automatically silenced. Blush or whatever, it's on the bark, don't expect to see it.
Zach pursed his lips and was speechless. The ability to reproduce and the ability to act in reproductive behaviors are two different things. This guy who already has a child actually cares about the former rather than the latter. Well, he has lost his humanoid life. -The ability to reproduce. Vampires also have the ability to pass on their offspring. Is the prefix artificial (species) really that important? Zach continued to clean up, and what he said was—
"At least you can guarantee the birth of your own grandson." Zach no longer wanted to hide his intentions, he said it like this! So yeah, don't listen, Zach just wants Earl to sacrifice himself, and then Eve has to come and thank Zach. Isn't it? This is Barton, where the power relations are complicated. Who else has the ability to make a local alien living freely sacrifice himself to the newly arrived Rimel? Just our vampire, Zach!
Earl stopped talking and watched Zach clean up. This is because Zach has hit the point. As he already has a child, he can save his bloodline and give his son a barely complete life.
Earl stood up, walked to the bookshelf, and picked up the diary that belonged to him.
Zach looked back at him before going out and frowned, "Do you want to take it back? I haven't read the part you said yet."
Please understand Zach’s thoughts. As he said at the time, Zach didn’t want to see his life changes from someone else’s perspective. But he looked at things that had nothing to do with him with gusto, and even communicated with Ryan Xiao. So Zach is not opposed to continuing to keep this diary to see how the former artificial humans survived in that era of change.
"Give it to you." Earl tried to keep his voice as calm as possible, "I just want to see what happened to my ancestors and think about what they would do if they faced the same choice as me."
Zach raised his eyebrows, "Think carefully, I believe you will make the right decision." What is right? What is wrong again. No one knows, but for example, as written in the diary, those androids who do not want to change and are desperate to die must be wrong.
Zach closed the door and gave the android a quiet environment to think... (.)
