13 Men and Vampires

How to describe accepting a gray commission from a police chief, weird, inferior, can almost be summed up.

The weird probably comes from the irony of reality. Low self-esteem, the professional skills from Grande are limited. After Cologne left, Grande came in several waves, and the people from the North District Police Department were all James-level detectives and guys Zach didn't know.

These detectives came for only one purpose, to put down the information, and then leave without asking or explaining. The materials include Susan's information, Pierce's information, Aethera's information, and some reports of incidents where the three are vaguely connected.

Zach said only one sentence, 'I entrusted Grande to take it', and Grande's rule of not explaining the process and not answering questions was not said, and all kinds of information reports were sent to Grande's hands. Zach felt like he was the one who didn't ask or explain. Do you really need Grande for this commission......

But one thing can be confirmed, Cologne's relationship with the North District Police Department is really deep, and those detectives and gentlemen who put down their information and leave one by one are obviously not obliged to help Cologne, the former chief, at such a moment, but they all did it, and Zach is sure that they don't know the reason for doing this-

Anyway, James wasn't there, Zach couldn't hold back his curiosity, and politely asked a few detectives who came to deliver the information with a red gaze, "Who asked you to send the information? Do you know what these things are used for?"

The answer is very similar, "If you know the answer, don't ask the question, I don't know what I do, I don't want to know, I haven't been here, and you haven't seen me." ”

Zach felt like he was being seduced. If you live for a long time, you can really experience anything.

While reading this information, something happened that made Zach helpless. Presumably Daisy, backed by her relationship with Louise and the most intimate contact with Benjamin that a human being, really made Grande her home.

So while Zach was buried in a pile of police reports, he broke into the office.

It's not that Zach isn't on guard. It's that Zach really can't understand how this woman can be so uneducated.

"It's so boring! Louise man, you don't have much fun here......" Zach looked at the other party's surprised lack of courtesy, "Huh? What is this? Susan's file? This is just a high school graduate?!****! This ***** college girl ...... every day"

Susan was dragged out by Louise, and after being locked up, Daisy was still asking Louise, "What are you doing with your man? Are you a funeral home? What's a pile of police paperwork in there? And that phone call from your man in the morning (to the big boss of all the * dealers in Barton. Smith's), who is it for?This Grande has a background on both sides of the black and white, Louise, underestimate you, you're doing well now......"

Then in Zack's wordless irritability, Noe came.

Closing the office door casually, No's face was not very good, and he frowned with some doubt, "I just saw Louise below talking to a woman with a red gaze. ”

It's a bit much to explain. Zach came one by one, "One is to protect Louise, and the other is to make our relationship equal, so." This is to explain that Louise is now a vampire, and then, "That's Louise's former friend, who just saw something he shouldn't see." Zach reluctantly pointed to the piles of papers on the table, and then pouted. She didn't knock. ”

Hopefully, this little self-deprecation will ease the doubts of Xia Nuo.

"Louise's friend. Nou pursed his lips. "Will the 'General' ...... too?"

"I didn't teach him the Eyes of Charm. Zach waved his hand, "His life goal is a little ......" Skip it, you know the expression.

Nuo raised his eyebrows, he understood, and when he sat down opposite Zack, he had a new question. asked with a smile, "Then, these special abilities really have to be learned, but fortunately, they are not born." I'm a little bit more balanced. ”

"Of course, it's like being born with a mouth and being able to speak, but you still have to learn the language, otherwise you'll just 'well, ah, wow.'" ”

This little conversation that mediates the atmosphere works well, and both of them laugh.

But the main topic still has to be done, and Zach has to ask, "No, this commission." "Let's start with why you would recommend a commission related to the life of a director to an 'amateur' like Grande," you said to Cologne...... "'Grande is not limited by manpower', Zach didn't repeat it, I'm here, I don't need it."

Nuo kept smiling, nodded slightly, and spoke, "Hehe, let me admit that this is not easy." But if I follow my method, the human method, the aftermath will not go away, and the best I can think of is to convince the threat to change the deal in a way that is in the common interest. If it is not good, Cologne will be held hostage by the other party forever, or even ruined. You can do better, I said it's all for Cologne's sake, do you believe me?"

"I believe it. Zach nodded, "But I'm going to make sure you mean -- do you want me to solve this in a way that is beyond my human nature?" Zach observed No's expression, "I can tell you right now, it's going to be easy, all I need is a face-to-face conversation with this Susan." Zach handed over Susan's information, "Now that I know where she lives, where she lives, and how she travels. ”

Nuoxian didn't answer, didn't open the information, and was silent for a while. It's a clear question, yes or no. No's reflections indicate that he has something else in mind.

After the silence, Noxian sighed and glanced at Zack, "After all, I still can't get around this problem." "A philosophical question, there are not only human beings in this world who have human faces. Nou shook his head, "After going from 'General' to Vampire, I had a weird feeling. ”

Will this be a man-to-man openness, isn't it, Zach is not prepared to let his friendship with Noh continue to be affected by that hazy and uncomfortable atmosphere, nor is he ready to carefully control the atmosphere every time he talks to No!

"Not after 'General' turned into a vampire, it's all the time. Zach actually denied No's words, "The Grande in your eyes has always been colored, even from the time we first met. ”

Remember, that was Quest's first commission, and Quest brought Grande. At that time, Noo was because of Hank Sr. Grande is very well-behaved, and also expressed his intention to know each other, and finally helped Zack recommend that Grande join Bobo's gray professional circle.

Nou frowned, looked at Zach and didn't answer.

Zach continued, "It started because of Grande's history. Then, after contact, the way in which Grande handled the commission of the West End aroused curiosity. Zach said that, completely correct, isn't Grande the new favorite of the West End to establish a position in the gray professional circle," you may have analyzed in private, Grande's way of doing things, hidden abilities. ”

Nou frowned and nodded. Having said that, honesty is the best policy.

"Our relationship should be. "I like to have each other around, play or work, and then I have a desire to explore in private." It's a bit strange to use this expression to describe Zach and No, but it's the most accurate way Zach can think of, "This mutual recognition makes the last Quest commission, our cooperation logical." ”

Remember. It was this commission that coincided with the hunter's tracking of 'Colt' to Patton, which allowed Nuo to know the true identity of the vampire.

And then. Because of the rescue of you and your maid (two other events that happened at the same time - the raging waves hung and Seth was banished to hell), I revealed my true identity. Zach was slightly serious and paused, "Grande's secret abilities are displayed in front of you, but the situation does not allow you to react. Must be accepted. "Nonsense, Zach showed his identity to save No, and Noh had a position to say, 'Monster!

Both were silent for a moment, and Noh opened his mouth, no longer hesitating. "It's actually very easy to accept that you're a vampire, and you're right, and it does satisfy some of my curiosity about Grande. ”

The emphasis is on 'some'.

Nou continued, "It is becoming more and more clear that you are what you are, different from human beings, powerful, capable, and even convenient in certain things. I think I have the right to think about something else, like why, why a 'person' like you who can go anywhere is here, in my life. ”

This is much more mature thinking than James's paranoia about aliens.

"The world as we once knew it began to change. Zach continued, "You really want to stay with my friend, but at the same time, you can't help but want to be vigilant. ”

"Yes. And I think I'm doing a good job of this balance. Noh looked away, "Until, 'General'......"

Zach followed Nou's gaze, nothing special, just a wine rack next to the bookcase.

"Something that is beyond my comprehension is forcibly added to my cognition - people are born, study, make friends, work, form a family, inherit, die, and in the general trajectory of life, there is one more way to stop being a human being, to become a vampire. In a posture beyond the human, continue to live in this familiar world, and you tell me that vampires are immortal. ”

Nou withdrew his gaze and looked at Zach, "It's totally ......" shook his head, "In all ways, it hit my perception. ”

If you don't know where the problem is, you'll never be able to solve it.

Nou finally said his knot, "Just now, I can talk to you about anything. It's easy because that's how I got along with you when I didn't even know you were a vampire. When I knew you, you were a vampire, I didn't know about vampires, I couldn't talk about it, I couldn't imagine it, now I know, so we're talking about vampires, right. Nothing has changed. ”

This 'nothing has changed' should be the attitude of Promise, or the attitude of hope. As we all know, there will be a time when there will be-

"But, what about 'The General,' we've never talked about vampires before, because I know, he doesn't. And I hope to keep it that way, though not yet to put myself in the position of a moral benchmark, to see it as protection. However, the 'general' does not need to know that in this world, in the crowd, and even around us, there is an immortal and powerful thing called a vampire. ”

Zach was silent for a moment, because he agreed.

"But this hope is clearly not comparable to my desire for my friends to live. "So with the hunted No, turn to Zach to go to Knoll Beach to save people," then. Nou actually looked at Zach and chuckled and shook his head, "I have to talk to the 'General' about vampires now, because he is a vampire now." After thinking about the wording, he still used a not-so-dignified expression, "One, I hope he doesn't need to know for the rest of his life, something." ”

Zach is not offended, and the language is not made by vampires. Although Nou keeps saying that vampires are powerful, no vampire with such a powerful heart has the heart to change the language created by humans. is objectified, and it is deserved.

"So what the hell?" Zach asked, "his friend's life is being pulled down another path in anger." "Commonly known as the sense of racial honor, human," or anger at yourself for being the one who pushed the blame even though you didn't want to. Commonly known as guilt, "Still, you are becoming more and more aware that you, me, the 'general', have different paths in life." ”

"All. Nuo chuckled and bowed his head slightly, "Now every time I see you, you are my friend, the one who saved me, the one who is on the other path, the one who takes my friend off the path I am on." The balance that I used to be complacent to maintain, constantly shaking, sometimes makes me feel that it is good to know you, sometimes it makes me deeply feel the gap between us, and sometimes, it collapses directly, and I need to put the weight again little by little, carefully and self-deceptively hoping that it will remain stable. ”

The two were silent for a while, and it was still Nuo who spoke again, and he raised the police information about Susan in his hand, "You just said that this commission can be solved by just a face-to-face conversation for you." You just said, Louise, you want to make your relationship with Louise equal. Nuo raised his hands and pulled away the distance, "I wouldn't describe it in terms of high and low, with distance, this kind of gap, you can't blame me for not being able to ignore it." ”

Zack thought for a moment, "Then don't ignore it." I'll just tell you something. "Four centuries is a long time, I've been married twice, and the real end of both marriages was when I put on my uncomfortable makeup and went to her funeral. ”

No's expression became strange, but Nou was a smart man, and he could know that he was answering Louise.

"And ......," Zach looked a little deeper at his memory, "in Toredo, my real surname clan, there is a record of the number of times the pupil of charm was used at a banquet. 167 times, in a three-hour banquet. It was a very ugly guy, and for the whole three hours, he didn't do anything he should have done with it, just repeating the phrase to all the guests, 'I'm xx, that handsome guy'. ”

This is answering something, I don't need to explain it.

Zach also raised his hand, and the distance opened by Binot, "The gap is here, and the things we will encounter on these two roads are also such a big distance." Zach's hands were clasped together, "But, No, when the two roads meet, what do you want more?" Zach put a steel bar on the balance of the imbalance, "Draw a line and keep your distance, or, move forward together and see where you can go." ”

"I'm ......," No's crow's feet came out, "and I'd like to see it together." (To be continued.) )
