29 Human Abilities
"Is this some kind of 'close to the enemy' strategy? ”
Zach returned to Grande and made a phone call and started waiting for someone. The above sentence was made because Miley came along and was now using Grande's phone without Zack's permission.
"It's not. The answer was quite crisp, but as if he was unsure, he glanced at Zach and continued to dial, "You're looking for James, I'm looking for James, we're going to have the same purpose for the time being." ”
Zach tilted his head, agreeing, and began to pay attention to Miley's dial. Some are long, probably with the area code, "What are you going to do when you find James?" Zach smiled inexplicably, "Snatched James out of my hands?"
Miley also responded with a smile, "Yes." Squinted smile.
If everyone is as confused as Zack, this is clearly a girl who knows very well the huge gap between vampires and humans, how can she have the audacity to say what she said. The reason is out.
Miley's phone should have gone through, "It's me." ”
Zack could hear the voice on the other side of the earpiece very clearly. It's also a female voice, "Miley!" is her true friend, judging from the abbreviation used in the title.
"I've seen that Patton vampire. Miley glanced at Zack, a confident confidence, "He just called Wes. ”
It's a fact, Zach just called Wes and was waiting for Wes. But how about this Miley......
On the other side of the earpiece, "Are you safe?!"
"Safely, for now. Miley continued to look at Zach obliquely, "What about you?"
"Safety!"
The call is getting weirder and weirder.
Miley must have adjusted her mood, "The information we got at the Feast is correct, this Vampire of Barton has a connection to everyone. I might meet Nanainad Cappadocia. ”
There was a noticeable mood swing on the other side of the earpiece, "Okay, okay. ”
Zach looked down and began to play with his fingers. It's a good habit to ask questions when you have them, but, on different occasions.
"The plan continues. I will be in regular contact. Miley seemed to be concluding.
"Yes. Stay safe. ”
Hung up.
"Don't you ask. Miley looked at Zach who looked down.
"Ask what. ”
"I planned, for example, what would happen if I hadn't been in regular contact with my friends. ”
Zach looked up and smiled, "So, what happens?"
"In the west, a piece of land would be subsumed under the name of an Indo. The estate was unremarkable, but every week, Lesembra held a meeting of the Feast there. "I don't need to talk about the rest of it.
Zach raised an eyebrow, "Only one property?" Zach can now tell Lesembra to change places for a meeting with just a phone call.
"Only one place. Miley seemed to have no fear, "But at first, if my friends ...... "deliberately, add one." I didn't hear that some high-ranking people in the west died in a fire or anything inexplicably. "Huh. It seems that the Western Demon Feast's habit of always occupying the upper echelons of the human class and maintaining the privileges of the 'master' is also disadvantageous, for example, the goal is clear. "One after another, there will be more and more Indian real estate in the west. ”
Zach had two questions, first asking about motives, "Then why don't you start now?" You don't seem to need to run to Barton to grab James. ”
"The eternal life of vampires is not the punishment of your faith. Miley tilted her head, "Burning you is too kind and gentle to you." My revenge isn't to help you redeem you, don't you think? ”
Zach looked at Miley, speechless. Miley means, that is, to make the vampires ...... Suffer, live to suffer.
The second question is okay. "Your friends......" followed Miley's words, "people." Do you have any special ability that can easily control the ownership of the land in the west?"
Miley's answer, somewhat incorrect, "This?" pointed to the phone, apparently indicating the person who had just called, "She's my roommate." yes, take me to the party where I might have seen James's side. ”
Zach didn't want the topic to go boring, so he got to the point, "I mean ......"
"Did you know that during James's service, all of his comrades died, except for Wes, whom you just found?" ”
Zach was quiet. He didn't know, but he did. We're in a similar situation to Zach, and we know that there's a lot of blacked-out stuff in James' file that can't be published. We know that Nainard is a vampire from the Magnes faction who protects the son of Lance by James' side. We know that Wes was a friend of James's.
Finally, we know one thing, Wes knew about the alien race, and lived and returned to Barton because of his ability to influence James's life, and he was friends with James. Someone wondered what was wrong with those ordinary comrades-in-arms who didn't know about alien races and didn't have enough ability to influence James's life.
Miley said, "They're all dead." My roommate's boyfriend was included. "Motives, along with motives, what Zach is really asking, also emerges, "Every time the military returns home to visit relatives, it is accompanied by a funeral. Miley picked it off, frivolous, "The big funeral, you know, the kind of ...... that the salute, the flag, and the national anthem have."
Zach didn't know that Barton hadn't had this kind of funeral yet, lucky?
"Every funeral, someone's son, someone's brother, someone's friend, someone's student, someone's subordinate, someone's lover. These people, probably, are all one of Miley's 'friends', "Rich, buy a hotel, if you are not rich, buy a wasteland, hehe, everyone has a family, a home." Miley seemed to be smug and spread her hands, "Look, this is the special ability of our friends. The ability of human beings to invent. "This ability is called trading. Start with shells, metal, in exchange for food, survival resources. Then, relying on human civilization, all the things that human beings can touch have become resources that can be exchanged for resources......
Zach blinked and spoke slowly with mixed emotions, "How many 'your friends'. "It's a stupid question, every human being, driven by a specific motive, will be Miley's 'friend'.
"Scared?vampire~"
"No, the Demon Feast has been in business from scratch in the West for four centuries. You and your friends can't be so easy......"
He was interrupted again, "Do you want to give it a try?" Miley's hand rested on the phone.
Zach really wanted to give it a try. "I ...... Forget it. ”
"Huh. The hand left the phone, "Wes don't know when it will come, I'll ask you about it personally." ”
The person who is aware of the gap between the two sides is now Zack, "Ask." ”
"Half a year ago, the military sent a seriously ill colonel to Patton ......"
"Ike?" didn't need Miley to finish.
"Hmph. Miley pursed her lips, "Sure enough, you know everything at Barton." Then he frowned, "Is he really dead?" ”
Zach hesitated. We all know of Ike's fake death, and we know that the reason for his situation was that he refused to cooperate with the Demon Feast, and in a way, Miley is a kind of person, "Ike is one of your friends?"
"No, I'm not that good yet, I know people from the military. But he had some influence on his subordinates, and I know that he had spoken out against General Reims. Miley glanced at Zack, fearless, "There are some rumors about him in the West, and if I can find out the truth about his death at Barton, I may be able to make more of my 'friends'." Hehe, after all, I know what General Lance is. ”
We should be able to feel Zach's mixed feelings - he and Miley can work together in terms of dealing with the Demon Feast. But, it's something weird that makes Zach a little ...... about this Miley Disturbed. Her targets, including Zach, aren't they?
Let's see.
"He's alive. ”
"What?!"
"Do you want an address, I can give it to you. "Zach is already writing, Sissi's address.
Miley watched Zach finish writing and picked it up, but didn't leave.
Zach didn't ask, and replied that he showed up.
"I'm going to wait for Wes first. ”
