"I'm happy to take the credit." Zach still backed away a little from Oz - even with Zach's perspective, there was a bit of a bottom line. This mind-reader has completely penetrated Zach's heart. Zach thinks it is better to keep his body, "But you did misunderstand. When we came to Barton, the alien agreement we made with all the Barton aliens only For my, Benjamin, and Anthony’s selfish purposes, we don’t care about the lives of other alien races.”
This means that Zack doesn't care that the ghouls occasionally dig up a cemetery to dig up corpses, Tam occasionally swallows two or three passers-by, Walter travels between worlds from time to time to escape a few undead, and Lady Sheila (Wing Man) in the West End Think of yourself as a dove, hovering over Barton...
His agreement was just to protect the last Toledo himself, and by the way, Anthony would have a bright career...
Perhaps in the process, some foreigners were frightened. For example, people with alien souls like Wander are too honest to run around and possess people. For example, Harrison has to pretend to be an ordinary citizen... But, uh, as everyone knows, Zach really doesn't care how other people live, let alone changing the way aliens and humans get along, which is a great achievement.
"Haha, if you insist on being humble, it's up to you. I'll let you know." Oz's smile made people uncomfortable. It might be intentional. It's a mind-reading thing. Zach's little thoughts will not be missed.
"Okay." Zach waved his hand, "I'm going to block you." He curled his lips and his eyes turned red instantly, causing the mind-reader to read that he turned into an endless red, "We are already at the same progress. , end this content, go back to the beginning, you say, what do you want to make clear to me, say it."
Oz rubbed his forehead. The vampire's 'heart' that was still alive and powerful just now was replaced by red in an instant. This was an instant confrontation between two abilities with similar characteristics. The mind-reader was temporarily defeated. He was a little uncomfortable, "Uh, I don't like this feeling. It reminds me of that guy Eli."
"Eli?" Zach raised his eyebrows. This is a name that rarely appears in the mouths of Barton people. The leader of the Sabbat Toledo, Eli.
Oz waved his hand, not wanting to say more about this topic, "It's nothing, it's just that they also tried to become the real Toledo at the Sabbat and tried to practice Toledo's Charming Eyes. Of course, they failed. .”
Zach shrugged and curled his lips, because he had mastered the blood control skills of Sabbat Toledo. To win in comparison is certainly worthy of a smile. That's a compliment Zach would be more than willing to accept.
Oz temporarily avoided Zach's eyes, "I want to tell you what I think, what I think about the Sabbat."
"Please." Zach was relaxed now, and he was still in the mood to watch the soap opera recorded by Mo - Sophia killed her lover. Wow, this would be a perfect spoiler.
"The Sabbat in the West has..." He probably hesitated about what he was about to say, but at the same time, he also noticed that Zach's attention had begun to wander. Before Zach was about to turn back the volume on the TV, "It has come to an end."
Great, Zach's attention returned, he glanced at Oz, "The end." Repeated.
"I'm not talking about the end, but the end." Oz emphasized, "The Sabbat has controlled everything that can be controlled in the west, military, political, business, and even medical..." Chapman's son's experimental medical treatment, " all."
Zach curled his lips and said, "Congratulations?" There was no sincerity. Comparison is a bad thing, the Secret Alliance is like this, but the Sabbat controls everything. Heaven and earth, this is probably how it is described.
"Heh." Oz was amused. "It's congratulations, for the Sabbat and the West. But it's not congratulations for the rest of the Federation. You know, when something has developed vertically Once it reaches the top, it can only go horizontally.”
Zach could roughly think of this, but just shrugged. It's not that they don't care about the seriousness of this statement - when the Sabbat develops horizontally, it means that the target is the entire federation, and the Sabbat wants to control this country. But for the time being, Zach couldn't see the possibility of achieving the Sabbat's goal - even if the Secret Alliance was no longer around, the Sabbat still couldn't take over the central part, right? So he jumped to the idea of Barton.
"Before I came to Barton, I didn't think there was anything wrong with this." Oz continued, "Controlling the entire federation means that the Sabbat is far away from their original purpose - the mission given by the Holy Lord to the thirteen clans, colonization. Going one step further, as a partner, Kozier and I may also receive the Holy Lord’s final mission reward, so why not.”
Zach chuckled and shook his head, with a hint of sarcasm, "The mission reward is four centuries late, hum." This is a simple imagination question. If the things vampires need four centuries ago are the same as the things vampires need now, The vampires are really a sad race. Look at humans, "The Sabbat is really persistent. We must admit this."
"Haha, this is their persistence, not 'Kozil's' anymore." Oz smiled, Cozier is him, "Kozil is the one who gets the family he deserves through his own efforts." Kozier's The story of the rise has already been told and will not be repeated.
Oz looked at Zach, "When he was in the Sabbat, all Cozier could see was the Sabbat, so what he wanted was limited to the Sabbat. Now, Cozier can see beyond the Sabbat. Something, Kozier, haha, there is something new, something different, something I want to strive for..."
Oz was probably still rambling for a while, but was interrupted by Zach, "Can you stop describing yourself in the third person like Kozier Kozier all the time? It's weird."
"I'm sorry." Oz touched his chin, "I'm a little overwhelmed. I feel like I'm making a 'fate-changing' decision that was made by Kozier's ancestors."
Zach smiled, but it wasn't sarcasm. I wonder if you still remember the diary of the great-great-grandfather of the android Earl, which Zach and Ryan read together? There is a story about the journey of artificial people freed from slavery from the center to the west to join the Sabbat. The end of the story of this journey is that the Cozier family at that time used the androids' intelligence about the Middle East to once again gain status in the Sabbat, and then abandoned the androids that were of no use.
So what Oz just said was completely true from the bottom of his heart - Kozier is very good at fighting for his family's interests, and Kozier once and did only limit himself to the Sabbat.
Zach's smile was that Oz in front of him was really digging into his heart... It was too rare for a mind-reader.
"Now I hear the 'surging' that you want to make clear." Zach raised his hand without slapping him, saying, "Save your body," and then turned it into a wave, "Then I think I can fully count on you. I’ve been dealing with James, Darcy, Lister, and West Enders, can I?”
"Of course, you can rest assured." Oz smiled again, "The Sabbat will not find out what really happened to Barton." The 'surging' started again, "I must say, working with you is better than working with Lethembu. …”
Zach waved his hand and interrupted, "Thank you." He just didn't want to hear that last name.
"Pleasant chat~" Oz tidied his clothes and seemed to be ready to leave. "I should go back and wait for contact from the people in the West End."
"Yeah." Zach simply nodded and began to wonder who the West End people would send to contact Kozier. After all, it would be too abrupt for some people to go to Oz. Well, it will probably be Smith. First of all, Smith's style, clothing and behavior are very similar to Oz. In addition, the unexpected message on the phone yesterday was that Liszt was trying to talk to Smith about something outside of working hours. These should be reasons for West End to reach out to Cozier. Yes, just a reason. When everything is divided into appearances and the truth beneath the surface, all that is needed is reason—the basic common sense of conspiracy theories, isn’t it
"Wait a minute." Zach suddenly thought of something and appeared in his mind inexplicably. "I have something that I haven't understood for a long time. I want to ask."
"Ask." Oz, who had already walked out of the entertainment room, did not stop because Zach had already followed.
"Cremation." Zach said directly, "Why is cremation so popular in the Federation?" All aliens instinctively hate this method of erasing traces of their existence in this world. "Is it a Sabbat?"
"No." Oz shook his head directly and frowned, "But I remember clearly that when cremation first appeared, there were doubts within the Sabbat that it was the secret alliance."
"Secret?" Zach also frowned. This was something he had never thought of. Before Bumi and Dora from Nofiler explained to him the rapid decline of the Secret Alliance over the years, Zach thought it was a cremation force. Gone is the Secret Alliance.
"Well, when the Secret Alliance began to show signs of leaving the federation, cremations coincidentally began to appear. Leson..." promptly changed his words, "The Sabbat also speculated whether it was the last childish move of the Secret Alliance-it was leaving anyway, so it wasn't Let all the foreign races in the Federation have an easier time." After saying that, he curled his lips and looked at Zach's face.
Zach showed no expression. To be honest, Zach wasn't sure what to think. Those who were once called allies, and then completely betrayed Vanzo and Bruch who strangled Toledo... Zach really didn't know how low their lower limit could be and whether it was possible to do such a thing.
"It's okay." Zach sent Oz downstairs, thinking with irresponsible optimism that from cremation to privatization, Grande has become what it is today, so Zach has nothing to complain about.
"Kate is here!" Colorful light spots, the fantasy man Danny suddenly gathered on the stairs. After saying this, he continued to paint the light spots and disappeared.
Zach didn't respond, and Oz didn't respond either. A normal host sent his guests away.
As soon as he stepped onto the back porch, Oz was taking out his car keys, "Oh!" Suddenly he said, "Kate! It's not the one who slandered you in the newspaper yesterday..."
Zach still had no reaction and waved his hand, "Yes." He pointed to Oz's car in the backyard, which meant, 'You have nothing to do, you can go.'
Oz did not continue walking, but smiled, "Do you need help? In one minute, I can get all the little secrets in her heart, and then you can use them as you like..."
Why is everyone doubting Zach's ability to deal with an ordinary reporter? Trying to provide our vampires with various inexplicable solutions -
"The best way to invalidate an opinion-inducing article is to 'tarnish' the credibility of the author of the article..." Oz raised his eyebrows with interest, "Or, get her handle. Haha, you won't. I believe there are many secrets in a reporter’s heart that cannot be told..."
Zach interrupted helplessly, "Thank you, but no need." He waved his hand to urge the mind reader to leave, because Zach also began to hear the engine sound of Kate's 'grandma car'. It's quite fast, and the sound of bumps on the gravel road is approaching quickly -
Seriously, can you guess why Kate came? It's easy. Grande now has a client who is still discussing funeral arrangements with Louise in the office, and a reporter who threatens to destroy Zach rushes over. He is so diligent that I have nothing to say.
"Haha, you decide." Even though he said that, Oz moved forward very slowly. It didn't take any special alien ability to figure out that Oz was going to ignore Zach's "no need" and drag a certain reporter to his side.
"Are you serious?" Zach stood on the back porch, speechless as he watched Oz slowly walk to the car in the backyard.
"Haha, you can't blame me for being curious~" Oz simply stopped moving and smiled at Zach, "I really want to know what the reporter who can write that kind of article thinks." In order to illustrate the degree of curiosity, "I want to know if she has any idea what 'person' she is publicly slandering and targeting. Hahaha."
Zach shook his head, "For a mind-reader, you have quite a bad taste in people's hearts." Yes, it can only be described as a bad taste.
Oz didn't refute, and simply leaned against the car, waiting for a reporter to arrive.
He didn't have to wait long.
The 'grandma's car', whose entire body was trembling with inertia, parked into Grande's backyard. Kate grabbed the recorder and notebook and jumped out of the car, and immediately saw Zach on the back porch.
"Hmph! I knew it!" Kate rushed towards Zach resolutely, but her target was not Zach. "Master Grande is definitely not working in the office, she is with people, hum." Glancing at Oz, her face changed. After a moment, he casually said what flashed through his mind, "Uh... Clinging to the rich and powerful!" Ozzie Cozier has been exposed a lot recently, and of course Kate recognized it.
That's not the point, the point is that Kate continues to rush towards Zach.
"Let me guess! Who's doing the real work in this funeral home? Ha! Right Louise! Right your girlfriend! Not bad, really good! Let the women do all the work like a real man! You make it so easy for me, Mr. Grande!…”
He rushed past Zach and prepared to rush to the office on the second floor without knowing what he was doing.
Zach brought Kate back casually. With red eyes, he held down the pen in Kate's hand and wrote in the notebook. At the same time, he repeated at a slow writing speed, "Customer, very satisfied, Grande's service." Kate put down the dazed Kate and raised an eyebrow, "You got your interview, go back." At the same time, he frowned, "Then take a shower, your whole body exudes the smell of hangover, and it's already afternoon, girls, pay attention a little."
Kate blinked, not knowing what her brain circuit was going through. She blushed, glared at Zach, turned around and ran back to the car.
Zach watched Kate return to the car, the 'grandma's car' that hadn't cooled down even after starting the engine, shook his head and looked at Oz, "Look, Simple, I don't need you."
"Uh..." Oz still looked at the direction Kate's car was reversing, blinking, "Well... you're right, you don't need me, it's too simple... too, simple." Who knew what he wanted to express, and turned around quickly , opened the door, sat in, "I, uh, have to go, goodbye."
Now knowing to hurry up, Oz stepped on the accelerator, made a perfect U-turn, and followed Kate's 'grandma car' out of the Grand's backyard. (.)
