22 Inheritors
Zack's idea is actually not complicated, because he speculated that the West Side people are now hindered in the means of pushing out the identity of the nightclub victim represented by Blake, and they are thinking about how to resolve it.
Zach didn't know if there was a connection between a minority group like Blake and Jason and that disgusting disease. Zach doesn't know as much about modern medicine as an ordinary person. But Zach confirmed that Barton's nausea was definitely not due to the harmless minority, not even the disease, but to the Tsmich experiment of the Western Devil's Feast.
Then, by omitting a few details that ordinary people don't need to know, the facts can be misinterpreted as - some evil force in the west carried out an experiment against humanity, and then the guy gave it to a group of poor minorities, intensifying social contradictions, damaging social stability, and its heart was extremely bad and infuriating.
What Zach meant by saying this to Corson was to introduce this vile organization that made people angry. The only thing Zach was still a little hesitant was the attitude of the Devil's side - Rut Lesenbra and Craig were trying to cover up and collect information on Tsmich's medical experiments, so Zach didn't know if he could just poke out the details of this medical experiment.
So he spoke in secrecy, telling Corson that this matter had something to do with something outside of Barton, but he didn't say anything. If Cosen had a higher level of understanding, he would have paid attention to relevant affairs in the future, at least he would not use his identity as an official law enforcer to lead public opinion.
Corson must have understood, otherwise he wouldn't have asked Zach to explain the cause of the recent violence.
Zach didn't stay at Curson, and the conversation ended and sent him off. After sending off the guests, Zach was hesitant to talk to someone from the West End about Tsmich's medical experiments.
Zach doesn't really want to find vampires, meaning to cross out Mrs. Quin and Smith's Remer. Why...... Naturally, Mrs. Kunyin is protected, after all, Kunyin also keeps his own blood, and it is better not to touch this kind of dirty thing. As for Rimmel, Zack only considered that he had promised Craig to keep these experimental materials, and it was obvious that Craig, as Tsmig's messenger, wanted to study Tsmig's experiments by himself, and Zack would not be so blind that he would hand over these things to Rimer first.
There are also Bishop, where the demon and the evil spirit are located, and the Falken family, Lady Fiona Falken, who knows the existence of the alien race.
Neither Zach wanted to choose. Tut. The former because of Evan. The latter because Mr. Falken is in the South End, and Zach looks for the Falken family but bypasses Mr. to find his wife?
Only the Stone family remains. And the only person who can have a good dialogue is Blake.
Zach thought about it for a moment, picked up the handset and began dialing.
The phone just went through. Zach heard Jason's uncomfortable, "Stone......"
Zach tilted his head and watched Cliff the Inheritor standing in the doorway of his office with a baby in his arms.
Zach was scared, how did this guy show up??
A blue baby floated out from behind Cliff's fat body, Shane, "Father's (Cliff's) wife (Linda) has entered a new cycle of life, the original old body is dead, and we have come to inform you that it is time for a funeral." β
Zach reacted to this sentence for a while, and then the corners of his mouth twitched into the earpiece, "I'll call later." After saying that, I put it back into the earpiece and heard Jason's "Zach?"
Zach looked at Cliff holding the baby with a facial expression for a momentβthe baby was supposed to be healthy, but there was no crying at all. Understandably, Linda, who is already a baby, does not dare to cry. She was afraid that she had provoked Cliff's nerves, and Cliff killed her directly.
Zach looked at the blue Shane floating in the air, "You are sensible, you know that your father (Cliff) is in a bad mood, come and accompany you." β
The busiest child in the world may be Shane, the new god, and everyone is his father~ including Zack.
Shane walked around Zach's office, "I can come and accompany you if you need it." Especially now that even Louise is gone......"
"Louise left you?" asked Cliff, still expressionless, "Where did you go?"
Zach frowned, he had already left the office and was going to the living quarters to arrange for someone to pick up Linda's body, didn't he? The reason Zach frowned was that Cliff and Louise weren't friends, they just knew each other, so they didn't need to ask where Louise had gone, let alone 'left you'!
Seeing that Zach didn't mean to answer, Cliff didn't ask any more questions, and sat in the office with the baby in his arms. As Zach walked through the backyard, he vaguely heard Cliff say coldly, "If you're hungry, just say that you have a bunch of milk powder from your friends at home, enough for you to eat until you are a year old." Oh, if you don't speak yet, then weep, cry hard, lest I can't hear. β
Zach didn't want to comment on the life ethics of other people's families, so he grabbed a random person in the living area, "North District Hospital, pick up the body." β
The person who was caught didn't talk nonsense, went to say hello to old Hank, drove away.
When Zach returned to Grande, he saw Shane floating out of the office, and he didn't care if he wasn't looking in the direction of him, and when he returned to the office, he saw Shane talking to Grande's 'air', Ryan, through the window.
Zach actually intended to call Stone Manor again, but in the same space, there was Cliff holding a baby who didn't make a sound except for breathing, which made Zack really uncomfortable.
Looking at Cliff, "What are you going to do in the future?"
"Not intended. The answer was quick.
Zach pouted, "You're not going to wait for Linda to grow up and continue your experiments. As soon as Zach finished speaking, he saw the baby in Cliff's arms begin to struggle.
It would be hilarious if this struggle worked. Cliff completely suppressed the baby with one hand and glanced at Zach, "Why not." β
*οΌ
Although Zach has long decided not to judge the ethics of other people's families, this is too ......
Zach looked down and thought for a moment, "The other day, Darcy came once, and I maybe, probably, seemed to give him some fantasies about me. β
Cliff looked at Zack, "You promised to make Darcy a vampire?"
"I haven't said anything like that to him yet. β
"Hmph, I think so, you're Toredo, how can you talk to death. You're probably just making Darcy feel pitiful that if the Feast doesn't bother with him, you'll take him in. β
Zach didn't retort either, "Sort of." Tidasi's reason, "I'm wondering, why did you inheritors fall to this point? I don't think there is anyone in this world who has more experience than you, but you ......" Zach is deliberately judging another race as a bystander. And this evaluation, hum, look at this trend of speaking, is it like a compliment?
Cliff interrupted quickly, "I advise you not to say another word. β
Zach is obedient. The purpose was achieved.
As for the inheritors, we introduced their special life cycle early on, and because of this special life cycle, the inheritors such as Darcy, Linda, and Cliff have confessed more than once how many things they have done that are indecent to human ethics in order to maintain their lives in intelligent human form. For example, Cliff's orphan background, such as Linda's willingness to be captive by the Demon Feast, such as Darcy's work for the Demon Feast.
But these so-called things are nothing, after all, this is how they live. The way of survival, no matter what, is not evil.
But looking at Linda now that Cliff is holding a baby, can we justify them with 'this is the way this creature exists'? I can't do it.
Humans have also done things that distort the way other species live in order to satisfy their own desires. Look at the creatures that we humans have domesticated and cultivated, right? But, we humans take it for granted, this is how we dominate the world, there is nothing to say.
But what if human beings domesticated and bred human beings to satisfy their own desires?
Isn't the essence of the strong oppression of the weak, bending their independent consciousness just to achieve their desired goals?
Now, what Cliff did to Linda is not the suppression of power between the same race. This is the evil that cannot be washed away by 'impersonal ethics without approval'. Zack just wants Cliff himself to realize this - Cliff, you don't have to despise Darcy's way of survival, Darcy at least didn't hurt his own kind, at most he was willing to die for others, and you, Cliff, are hurting his own kind.
Zach didn't say anything more, not wanting to spoil the atmosphere that had made Cliff introspective, and quietly looked at the working documents of the funeral home that were placed in front of himβthe documents that Zack had confiscated while Curson was there, and the form that recorded the location of the appointment.
The silence is still broken, by an 'outsider'.
"I agree with what the vampire left unfinished. How could a race like you, which had tasted all the life of all things in the world, be reduced to such a weak position. "It's 'Jian'.
Zach glared at Jian, and Jian ignored it, "There is a special race in the Moyouti Federation, the inheritors, which cannot be classified into the republic's classification of non-human creatures, and Mo is right, you inheritors, cannot be classified." β
Zach was about to say something, but Jian reached out and stopped him with a hand, signaling not to interrupt, "I was just watching you (Cliff and Baby Linda)." Jian also took the time to look at Zack, "I'm serious, so I ignored your son when he tried to communicate with me, the first impression should be bad, you can help me convey my apologies." β
Zach's son? uh, Shane.
Jian immediately returned to her own subject, "I feel like I can define the life trajectory of every creature in this world that I see in the two of you (Cliff and Linda) at the moment, and you are any creature in this world. Because you are inheritors, if you die on the spot now, you will become other creatures and continue to live, am I not mistaken? According to the rules of this world, I can't statically say what you are now, because the next moment, you may end your current life and become something else. Your random life cycle is a real problem for me. "It sounds like tongue-twisting nonsense, but the interesting one comes right away," this feeling is more comprehensive than the last time I saw Daxi. β
There was silence in the office for a while. Everyone was reacting, and Zach was quicker, "Shouldn't Darcy be defined as any creature in your decision?"
Cliff, who was still reacting again, glanced at Zack, "This guy who popped up out of nowhere is ......"
"Shhhh Zach interrupted Cliff and said to 'Jian', "Tell me a little bit more about what it means to be more comprehensive than Darcy. β
"You're right, Darcy last time can't be defined as any kind of creature. β
"Darcy isn't the heir?" Zach was skeptical.
"He is, but among the countless biological trajectories that flow through the lives of his inheritors, there is one less biological trajectory. β
Zach looked at Cliff, "Darcy is infertile. He can't be a human in the next cycle of life. β
Cliff frowned, "I know, we all know, so what? Hmph, if it weren't for the fact that he Darcy couldn't save his human life anymore, he would be ...... for the Demon Feast"
Zach interrupted Cliff again, "Cliff, you didn't understand!" Zach was a little excited, Zach pointed to 'Jian', "It can be seen! The inheritor forcibly controls the result of the life cycle by reproduction, and after the continuous cycle becomes a life form, he must not be able to continue to control the cycle with reproduction, and must re-experience random assignment and obtain the rules of the next life form!
Cliff was stunned for a moment, then stood up, the baby in his arms was a little tight, and the young Linda snorted, "Are you saying that in Darcy's life cycle, there is no human form to choose from, and we still have?!"
"You have. "Jian" walked over to Cliff and gestured to Baby Linda, whose cheeks were already flushed in his arms.
Cliff hesitated, but still handed out Linda in his arms, 'Jian' seemed to have experience as a nanny, and dragged Linda and began to shake her body slightly.
"You, who are you??" Cliff looked at 'Jian'.
"Jian. 'Jian' glanced at Cliff, then held the baby away from Cliff...... "I'm from the Republic and don't know you, so I don't have to lie to you." I believe that the hatred between you and this baby can be put aside by now knowing that you both have a chance to continue to be human beings. β
'Jian', actually came out to mediate?
Zach was skeptical, but not so bad as to destroy Linda, who had finally gotten rid of Cliff's 'evil', and said to Cliff, "Do you understand what that means?"
"That means ......," Cliff had realized something, and began to approach Jian, who was holding the baby, and his face turned cold, "I have more reason to force her and me to continue the experiment we have set." β
Zach stopped Cliff and didn't have time to speak, 'Jian' was speechless behind Zack, "No, Inheritor Cliff, you don't understand. What Zach means is that I can see the random options that flow in the nature of your life in every moment. β
'Jian' smiled at baby Linda, "If the options can be manually selected, it won't be random." You can throw away your indecent experiments. If Mo didn't lie to me, your only demon in your heart is that you don't want to be a low-level creature, so you cling to the human life form, and when the number of human life forms is consumed to the end, you don't even want the life that you have inherited to this day. It's pitiful, and wasteful, to be able to experience the life of all things in a world, do you know how many beings are willing to give up their power to get this experience? Hehe, there are thousands of worlds, but it's not the only one you are staying in nowβa world filled with lower creatures, I'm willing to take you to see it, I promise, those worlds offer you options, and they won't let you down. β
Zach turned around and looked at 'Jian', his ability to grasp the key points was suffocating, "'Inner Demon'?
