11 Games
"Zach, Zack, Zack, Zack......"
The mechanical, untoned voice passed through the ceiling on the first floor, passed through the floor on the first floor, and finally stubbornly infiltrated the basement belonging to the vampires. Oh, gotta add a 'guy', the Grande vampires have two, right?
"You go up. Louise stood up from Zack's arms and stood in front of the mirror, where she looked at the two red spots corresponding to her eyes, and didn't know what she was thinking.
Probably in order not to irritate Louise's feelings, Zach did not stand in the range of what the mirror could reflect. According to Zack's own words, whether you are walking in the sun or being able to reflect images, once you master it, you can't stop and return to the state you can't get back to, just like a baby who learns to walk.
Probably like someone has the talent to be able to erect the ring finger alone, once he found out that he can, he can't pretend that he can't do it that day, and that naughty ring finger will automatically stand up and mock people who don't have this talent.
"No, I don't. Zach didn't move, still in his original position, as if Louise would lean back into his arms again with a little look.
"You told Benjamin to call if he needed it. "Yes, that mechanical repetitive call was Benjamin, who had just put down the phone in the office. Our alpha really didn't want to go to the basement, so he used this method to disturb Zach and Louise's alone time.
Louise stared at the red glow in the mirror, "Go ahead, I'm fine." Louise's brow furrowed slightly, "I'm just, just ......" she tilted her head and smiled at Zach, "I think too highly of myself." As he spoke, he had already turned his gaze awayβit was an inverted parabola, and Zach, the ground, Louise's gaze returned to the mirror in front of him.
Zach frowned. Looking at Louise's side face, "You didn't think highly of yourself, you just misunderstood." β
"Oh?" Louise's mouth twitched slightly, but she still formed a slightly curved smile, very reluctantly.
"When I ......" Zach walked behind Louise, and the bright red glow belonging to Louise in the mirror was invaded by Zack's image. Zach's hands pressed on Louise's shoulders. Stabilize the slightly trembling red glow in the mirror, "Tell you for the first time that you are suitable to be my descendant, when you become Toredo." What do you think I'm expressing. β
The end note of "expression ......" is elongated, and Louise feels the 'temperature' behind her, which is just an anthropomorphic expression, it feels like the blood behind her is higher than hers, and it is the origin of her current blood, "I can be like you, confident, not feeling dangerous, powerful, free......" Louise probably said all the praises.
Zach smiled. His chin rested against Louise's hair, and he looked at the red glow in the mirror, "Now that you are, do you still feel that way?"
"Not at all. Louise wanted to shake her head, but found that the chin resting on the top of her head wouldn't let her move, "I'm not confident, I drank two bottles of blood to heal a little burn." I also didn't feel safe, I didn't even dare to go out of this basement. And I obviously don't feel powerful. I could feel Benjamin's breath, and I could imagine him killing me in seconds......"
Louise smiled. But the mirror couldn't react to the self-deprecating smile - "I shouldn't have been okay to listen to Benjamin teach Matthew, hehe." She paused, "I don't feel free anymore, I just feel stupid now, and I'm not even as good as a 'general.'" β
Zach's image in the mirror, smiling. Joke-style schadenfreude. Probably this will be the tone of this conversation, both sides are carefully controlling their expressions and not letting the topic become heavy, "Then I say it now, you thought it was wrong from the beginning." Will you say that I deliberately set you up and then cross the river and tear down the bridge?"
"Yes. Anyway, it seemed that Zach would not respond to Benjamin's call for a while, and Louise took Zach and put his hand on his shoulder and wrapped it around his waist. The image in the mirror becomes comical, and Zach hollows out something around it, as if performing a mime.
"I actually mean very simple, you, suitable for Toredo. β
After a little silence, Zach spoke again, "If Matthew wasn't a werewolf, would you make him your descendant?"
"I'm thinking about whether it's too early for me to think about it. Louise didn't know where Zach was directing the conversation, and it was nice not to want the topic to be heavy, but it wouldn't solve the problemβ"I don't even dare to come out of this basement now, descendant, it's too far away." β
"I remember that my 27th descendant was an Indian. Zach suddenly said something like this, "Well, but it was a war at the time, and the colonists needed an enemy to tell us why we were reduced to ashes every time we first stepped into the Indoan home. β
Louise was not prepared to hear these words, and opened her mouth without making a sound.
"I told him that he was a good fit to be Toredo, and that he could have stayed at home and waited for us to die, but he risked wandering outside. β
"Are you talking about the first acquaintance with me?" Louise seemed to pick up on Zach's thoughts, "You know, I'm not taking risks, I know Coulson and James are watching at the intersection and I'm safe." β
"Is it safe? Zach raised an eyebrow and smiled, it turned out that it was not safe at all, Louise almost became Zach's food, "He said the same because he was just a decoy, and the Indoans at that time also needed someone from our side to tell them why the souls of the colonist soldiers after death were not controlled by wizards. Zach tilted his head, as if to say something he wasn't very interested in, "Of course not, those souls are martyrs, martyrs, upward, straight to heaven." β
"So...... Louise leaned against Zach's shoulder, "that war was much more tragic than you and Benjamin told Matthew." β
"And cruel, my 27th descendant, just such a victim of both acquiescences, a two-faced man. He gives us the information we need, and he gives them the information they need. β
Louise opened her mouth again, then closed it, and he understood, victim, indeed. The colonists could not change their strongest power - the Thirteen Clans were excluded from the Indo's homeland by the laws of the world, and the Indons could not change the souls of the soldiers to ascend to heaven. Such a two-faced man who was sent to the middle gave up his original life and beliefs, and passed on two facts that could not be changed by either side.
Then I asked him. Zach continued to tell the story. "Ask this Indian, the descendant of an exchange, if that day comes, will you create your own descendant? β
"Did he answer?" Louise had to ask because of Zack's silence.
He didn't have time to answer. There was no regret in Zach's eyes, "He has not been able to master the ability to move in the sun." In a werewolf attack, he was wiped out by his own former people. β
It's a fucking story, and Louise completely loses the ability to take in what Zach is saying.
Louise frowned, pushed Zack's hand away from her waist, turned around, and faced Zack, "You better go up, you make me feel worse." β
"Huh. Zach still laughed, "That's because you're drawn to the course of the story." What about the beginning?"
Louise stared into Zach's slightly curved eyes and was silent for a moment, "An Indian became your descendant. Zach nodded, "Voluntary, purposeful." Louise finished encouragingly. Then, the eyes changed in an instant, and I had an epiphany. So suddenly.
"Purpose, purpose?" Louise looked at Zach uncertainly. "Are you trying to say the purpose of being a vampire?"
Zach nodded, "Yes." He has a purpose. His goal was to enter the enemy's camp to obtain information, and he didn't even think about what it meant for him to become a vampire after entering, what this new life process represented. β
"I'm ......" Louise lowered her head and began to think. "I don't seem to have any purpose. But, I did wonder what I would be like if I became a vampire. β
Zach immediately picked it up with a smile, "Like me." β
"yes. Louise was amused. But immediately shook his head, although he was still smiling, but turned around and continued to look in the mirror, "Look, I just said, I think highly of myself, I don't look like you at all." β
"Just now. "I'm afraid that's the only comforting thing Zach said," you haven't answered my question yet, Matthew. β
"Okay. Louise couldn't stop Zach from wrapping herself around her from behind again, "First up front, I don't know what you want me to say." I'll just say what I think is right. β
Zach's image in the mirror gives an encouraging look.
"No, it won't. Matthew is not fit to be a vampire. Louise pursed her lips, "Well...... I don't think I can speak for the vampire ......"
"You can represent Toredo. Zach picked it up, continuing before Louise could say anything, with a smile, "I said yes, don't fight me." β
"You say yes, yes. So, Louise, who couldn't even get out of the basement, began to speak on behalf of Toredo, is this self-confidence, look, "he's too sincere, honest, kind......" The praise began to change in the opposite direction, "easy to control, rigid, and ...... to follow the rules"
Louise stopped abruptly and glanced sideways at the smiling Zach, "I shouldn't have said that, I heard Benjamin pacing up there." β
"It doesn't matter. Zach also glanced sideways at the ceiling in the basement, "Second question, what if it was Benjamin, if possible, would you turn Benjamin into your own descendant?"
"Zach!" this is protest, and Louise is not prepared to answer this 'dangerous' if.
"Okay, that's easy. Zach still smiled, and gave up so easily, "James, this doesn't need if, if you want, you can do it now." β
"Oh my God! no!" Louise shook her body from side to side and pushed Zack away, as if she was really angry, and turned to Zack with a 'disgusting' expression. It should indeed be disgusting, if you don't care about Grande's teenage physical and mental growth, describe all kinds of 'things' that Zach and Louise did on the second floor to complete the inheritance, and replace Zach with James, this picture is really disgusting, and the people are sophisticated.
"You don't have a good expression, you do know that the 'General', Ian, is also my descendant, and the Indians I just mentioned. Zach kept smiling, he certainly guessed what Louise was thinking, "It's not a legacy, it's like we did last night." β
"Don't! don't make me imagine that again, James, uh......" Louise looked at Zach with some helplessness. Maybe she should have discovered something now, and her expression now doesn't need to be forced, "Do I have to answer this question?"
Zach tilted his head a little, yes.
"James is stubborn, and Matthew is rigid in the same sense as Matthew, no, I'm not going to let him be a sucker...... Torredo. β
Zach didn't respond, smiling as if that answer wasn't enough...... Comprehensive.
"Uh......" Zach's look forced Louise to continue refining his answer, "But, you mentioned Ian, the 'General,' if, I mean if, James was in the same situation......"
"Dangerous situation. Zach interjected, adding, "Very, very dangerous situation. β
Louise would be ignored by Zach with a maintained smile even if she expressed her dissatisfaction, so she pouted, "Yes, if it was such a dangerous situation, I would want to save him, after all, he is our friend, I don't want him to hang up and be dragged to Crowley or something...... And then, or if, if I'm like you, carelessly, the wrong timing......"
"It's not carelessness, it's trying to avoid accidents still happening. Zach raised an eyebrow, everyone recalled the mentioned 'General' and Ian's process of becoming a vampire, it was a helpless accident, Zach didn't have a choice, either to watch them die, or let them live as vampires.
Louise pursed her lips and frowned, "Okay, try to avoid accidents, then I'll accept James as my descendant." "But it's to save him, not because I want him to be my descendant." β
Zach nodded, "Sounds very good, so it's the person who rescues, even if there may be accidents in the process of rescue, but it won't stop you from going to the rescue when others are in danger, very, very dangerous." β
Wait, what is Zach doing, stacking the praises of being a vampire, being Torredo (confident, dangerous, powerful, free...... οΌοΌ
Louise seemed to sense something, "Yes, but, that's because his danger is nothing to me right now, I can save ......"
Zach interrupted with a laugh, "I think we can turn this into a game -- 'Do you want to turn the people around you into vampires', Louise, please, please answer, it's just a game, Benjamin, are we going to make Benjamin our own offspring? Sure, if." β
"No, I don't answer this if. Louise shook her head resolutely, no matter what she thought, the conversation was already in Zack's hands, "This game isn't fun, Zack." β
"Then I'll do it. Zach gave a thoughtful look and shook his head, "No. Although Benjamin is strong now, he is only slightly weaker than me. "Uh," but I doubt he'll be as powerful as he is if he becomes Toledo. β
Zach regained his smile and looked at Louise, "Of course, that's just my opinion, you can have your own thoughts." I know, I know, you're thinking I'm better than Benjamin to say that. Hehe, I'll admit it. β
The ceiling was shaking, and Benjamin's roar exploded throughout Grande, "Zach!
Zach glanced at the ceiling, put away his smile, and looked at Louise, "Do I need to continue?"
Louise had already sunk into thought and shook her head, "No, I understand." β
Zach nodded, gave Louise one last hug, and left the basement.
Do you understand, in fact, there is nothing mysterious, it's just that when life enters another stage, the gap between expectations and reality makes people stagnate.
Zach did something very simple, to make Louise throw away that useless expectation, and that's it. (To be continued.) )
