It turns out that it is not just when you visit a doctor that the person being visited will feel happy because they are cared for. After Zach entered Ford's ward, he was kicked out within three minutes...
"Ugh! Your face is the last thing I want to see now!!" Ford howled on the hospital bed, "Damn it! Do you know why I fainted in my birthplace and was sent here! Ford howled and got involved in the innocent little nurse, "It's because of this person! Him! The master of Grande!! This guy who took advantage of all the policies!! What happened! I, I!! I'm the one who wanted to do it in the middle of the night." People who work and pay for the advantages this guy took advantage of!!”
Zach tried to 'resist', "Ford, I..." That was all.
"Stop talking! I don't want to listen to you either! In fact! I'm waiting for my secretary to send something over! Because of you, the city government wants us to submit documents! Great! What is this? What kind of trick?! The documents I was waiting for didn’t come, but here you are!!”
Zach was about to struggle again, "Ford, in fact, the city government required..." Zach felt sad. If Ford really passed out from overwork because he was reviewing the funeral industry for the city government, then it would be very worthy of sympathy. The city government does not Don't care about this matter.
The struggle was filmed, and the innocent little nurse said, "Uh, sir, the patient needs to rest quietly, can you leave?"
Look, three minutes haven't come yet. Zach retraced his steps with useless concern. You still have to force yourself to save some face and find a way to get off. To Sam, "I don't like places like hospitals anyway."
Well, we do know this. Remember Zach’s metaphor about adding a bunch of unknown seasonings to strawberry juice, resulting in strawberry juice not being strawberry juice at all. It doesn’t matter if you don’t remember. The general idea is that a hospital is a place where various things are injected into people’s bodies and vampire food is wasted. Don't argue with Zach on this point. Our human medical discipline is a joke in front of vampire blood, so naturally, vampires will view human hospitals this way.
Sam was carefully accepting and getting used to Zach's way of doing things, so he did not respond, but started another topic, quietly, after all, he was still in the hospital, "I confirmed that there are indeed traces of witchcraft on his body. . He didn’t faint from overwork, he was used witchcraft.”
"What witchcraft?" Zach asked directly.
Sam gave Zach a frown, "You can't expect me to know such a specific thing by feeling."
"I can't?" There was no sarcasm. Zach took note of this seriously. The wizard's sixth sense can only go so far, so he can't force it too much. "Okay, it doesn't matter. He (Ford) seems to be in good condition. Okay, there's nothing to worry about." He glanced at Sam and said, "What is certain now is that something happened at Ford's place yesterday, and as you said, a powerful wizard was involved."
"It seems so." Sam curled his lips.
Zach stopped talking, hesitating, should he order Sam to investigate, or should he order Sam to investigate? The options are the same, yes, the hesitation is that our vampire Zach doesn't know how to order, ordering his wizard. This action feels like a sick sentence just to express it in words. God knows how strange it would feel to actually do it.
As if he could read minds, Sam suddenly said, "I'll pay attention."
"Very good." Zach answered the question very quickly. He quickly got over this weird feeling. "If you need help, go to Bumi's allies." Sibella was also a wizard. This was Zach's intention. Zach wanted to see how far he could push his wizard, starting with having to come into contact with people he despised.
"Uh." Sam is indeed a smart guy, "Are you testing my bottom line?"
Zach would not admit it, "You said he was a powerful wizard. So far, all I know about your abilities is that you said you are very strong." He didn't mean to understand at all, "And I know that Barton has A really powerful wizard, Bumi's ally." What's interesting is that Zach actually insists on retaining the expression 'Bumi's ally'. Of course, he is forcing the other party to admit this setting that has become a fact, reminding Sam , it is better to throw away some inherent prejudices.
"Uh, okay. If necessary, I will find Sibella." Sam was more direct and shook his head, "You are right too. I don't have any resources now. It is true that I have nothing to do with Pai Siying's gang." There is no comparison between people, and I don’t have Bumi’s ability to infiltrate. If I want to really use my abilities, I need something now..."
As they were about to leave the hospital, Zach suddenly turned around. Sam was still heading in the original direction, "Preparation of witchcraft materials... Zach?"
Zach looked back at Sam, "You do your thing. You don't have to follow me all the time."
Sam opened his mouth, but this time he really didn't follow. It was necessary. Zach was already questioning his own ability. Rather than continuing to follow the target, which would shift at any time, and who couldn't figure out the standards of conduct, it would be better to do this. Something to prove your abilities. Sam stopped looking at Zach, walked out of the hospital, determined his direction, and walked away.
As for Zach, Zach followed the family, getting closer and closer, until he stood behind someone and tapped the other person's shoulder, "Chapman."
Chapman, who was in casual clothes, turned around and blinked at Zach with some black eyes, "Zach?" He responded quickly and turned to his wife and children, "You go first, I have a little, um..."
Relatives of the police officers must be very observant, so they took the child and left without asking anything, leaving Chapman behind.
"Experimental treatment." Zach followed the woman and child away for a while, then looked back.
"Yes." Chapman nodded, with fatigue on his face showing whether he was happy or sad. "We have entered the final stage of the treatment trial. I, uh, don't know whether it was a success or a failure. The doctor won't say. .”
Zach was 'unexpectedly' direct at this moment, "What were you expecting? This is a medical trial. The focus is no longer on the patient being cured, but on the success of the trial."
If you don’t quite understand what this is talking about, recall how Chapman became the devil’s subordinate (ix)—the Chapman who tried to commit suicide to defraud insurance for his child’s medical expenses. The key underlying reason, his child's treatment plan, was a medical trial that was not covered by health insurance.
Zach also looked through the documents of this experimental treatment at someone's house during a free period at that time. The success rate was half and half.
Chapman's already tired face became even darker. He probably just got off work and came over to accompany me without rest.
Zach pursed his lips and said, "I have read your child's medical records."
"Uh..." Chapman's reaction was a little slow, "When?"
Zach waved his hand, not intending to repeat the past events, "You should understand that if you speak now, I can help."
Note that this is now, not in the past. Zach would never say this in the past, because at that time Zach and the Fallen Angel did not trust each other so well, right? And Chapman is just a guy who caused bad things in Patton because of his alien race. Zach is not a compassionate guy.
Now it can be said that the relationship with the fallen angel is one of the reasons. In addition, even if James occasionally mentions it, it is helpless and there is no tacit understanding. But we also see that Chapman is in the police station and can help James. When I was a scholar, they all helped.
Chapman's eyes flashed for a moment, but it was only for a moment. "I..." actually hesitated.
Everyone can try to understand Chapman's mental journey. He has discovered the worst side of human nature, committed suicide, sold his soul to the devil, and kept alien secrets outside the law in the most just place... Now Zach said in front of him. , 'Hey, you know what, everything you went through before is useless, I can help you. '
Being considerate doesn't apply in moments like this when it's obvious someone may have made a stupid decision. Zach casually took the blood draw device from the nurse passing by.
"Hey! You..." The nurse was about to say something, but red covered her entire field of vision, "Keep walking."
The nurse was stunned for a moment, then took two more steps, looked at her empty hands, frowned, turned back and continued to get the blood-drawing device, and suddenly the blood-drawing device disappeared.
At the same time, our Zach had already inserted the blood drawer into his arm, and the small vial was quickly filled. Zach glanced at the blood bottle in his hand and was inexplicably distracted. It was good stuff, much better than his metal wine bottle.
Looking at Chapman's hesitant face, Zach directly stuffed the blood bottle into his pocket, "You can decide whether to use it or not." Zach shrugged, "If the experimental treatment is successful, you can also It’s no use, right?”
This is a reminder that Zach really worries about the psychological development of others.
The hesitation on Chapman's face disappeared, "Well, yes, if it fails, I will use... Well, thank you, thank you."
Can you understand that if the treatment is successful, it will be the result of everything Chapman has experienced, his efforts, and the suffering he has suffered, and Zach just did a meaningless thing. If it fails, Chapman at least tried hard before, and with the abilities of an ordinary person, it is enough. The human heart is really a strange thing, and Zach knows too much about it, but it just makes it easier for people to sleep peacefully at night.
"But I still have to remind you." This matter is not just about psychological construction, it has practical implications, "I have seen the documents of this trial information, and the drugs used are from the west, right." Do you remember. Zach tilted his head, "You should understand what I mean when I say, West."
"Devil, Sabbat..."
"Yeah." Zach nodded, "Regarding the Sabbat, Ike mentioned the current relationship between the Sabbat and the upper class of human society, 'Humans pay some blood to support a group of vampires with the ability to cure all diseases. It's a very good deal.' ." is a quotation, so there are quotation marks, but these quotation marks are not just for quotation. We have already discussed the equality of this 'transaction', haven't we
Chapman frowned, maybe it was the police's intuition. He looked at Zach and said, "What do you mean? Don't you want this experiment to succeed?!" He was still a little excited, not in a good way.
Chapman’s intuition was spot on!
Keep up.
The Sabbat used this promise of good health and longevity as a temptation to capture the humans in the west. Even people like General Lance believed this nonsense. Look at Ike who doesn’t believe it, well, Colonel Ike is dead and is now Camille’s container.
Now that the western medicine experiment has come to the east, Sam is not the only one who has the foresight to be compassionate and compassionate. Toledo is the representative (slavery). So that's what Zach means. He doesn't want this experiment to succeed and become another proof that "something in the West can make people healthy and long-lasting", so that the Sabbat can replicate the West in Barton!
But Zach wouldn't admit to a guy who was banking on this experimental treatment, "Honestly." Not honestly, "I don't care. You know what I care, I care that Anthony goes on to become mayor, and now the Sabbat They have the same goal, so I don’t care what methods they try to use to slowly brainwash the entire human society.”
Zach patted Chapman on the shoulder, feeling the intention, "I said it, I'm just reminding you. After all, you are still a human policeman. If I, a vampire, or any vampire, alien, have any thoughts about humans, You want me to tell you, right?"
Zach was a bad guy after all, and he wasn't prepared to let Chapman sleep. With a final snap, "Have a nice day, Chapman," Zach turned and walked away.
Moment of truth.
Everyone should already know that Zach's motives have never been pure, so this time, too, it is not an attempt to bring out the last glimmer of humanity in Chapman's fallen life, but Zach's personal motives.
James.
When Zach still doesn't know how to prove to James that the Georgina he discovered is fake. Think of the worst-case scenario as Zach telling James that Georgina is already a Sabbat Toledo. Zach hoped that James would focus and not have any unnecessary thoughts about the Sabbat because of Georgina's relationship, such as accepting any arrangements in the west to protect Georgina.
The guy who has been trained for almost a year is still given to the Sabbat. I'm sorry, Zach is not so generous, and he is not so willing to be used by the Sabbat. Now he doesn't care if the Sabbat makes small tricks. It's true, and even asks James to pay attention to it. The attitude of his boss, Director Darcy, is also true. However, when it becomes a fact that Anthony becomes the next mayor, everyone wonders whether Zach will 'really' keep it.
So, it's time to make sure that James doesn't harbor any illusions about the Sabbat. So, what could be more intolerable to a stubborn guy like James than using the poor children of his colleagues to try to brainwash human society? Gone.
Chapman was prepared. Zach, a little bit down, the worst may not be the worst, tell James the truth about Georgina.
Zach walked out of the hospital, well, vampires really hate this place. (.)
