As soon as Cyrus got home from work, Zach immediately went back to the office and called Drake. Zach had two things he wanted to ask.

"What is cancer?" Zach didn't bother to lay it out, and asked directly, because the feeling that Cyrus had just returned to work today made Zach feel a little weird.

Even after Zach forced Cyrus to get some work to do—that's what I'll say. Anyway, even if there was work to do, Cyrus gave Zach a strange feeling, and Zach could only guess that he had made some mistake when answering Cyrus's question that he was not aware of.

Derek on the other side of the earpiece was stunned for a long time, "Does anyone you know have cancer?"

"It's not. Zach pursed his lips and asked in a different way - Zach suddenly realized, even if Drake told him what cancer was, he didn't necessarily understand, "I suddenly heard a statement today, vampires are the cancer of this world, I don't know how to respond, do you have any opinions?"

"What?!" Derek dropped the microphone once, and then returned to his mouth after a confused bump, "Who, who said that about you?"

Zach corrected, "It's not me, it's the vampire." But Drake's reaction had already given Zach some idea, "Is that a bad statement? It's a pejorative term like a vampire as a moth to society?"

"Uh......" Drake seemed a little confused, "yes, it's not, it depends on the context...... "The effort to whitewash is too obvious.

Zach was direct, "You don't have to take care of my feelings, just say what you think." ”

"Uh...... I, I don't think vampires are like cancer......" Derrick is a professional after all, "but if I were to deny the similarity of the two, I, I can't help it." ”

"Let's talk about it~" Zach's mood was quite relaxed.

"Uh......" felt that after this conversation was finished, Drake on the other side of the earpiece, his throat would hurt, and the pronunciation completed by squeezing the vocal cords was repeated too many times, "Vampires and cancers are definitely mutations of the native part of a certain ecosystem, yes, mutations, not foreign objects." ”

"Uh-huh. Zach tilted his head and thought for a while, "Vampires were once humans, and humans are a part of this world, so vampires are also a part of this world, not an alien species." Oh, I can accept this statement~"

"Uh...... Yes. Cancer...... To be precise, cancer cells too. They used to be normal somatic cells. ”

It's starting to get to places that Zach doesn't understand, organs, tissues...... is still in Zack's category, after all, vampires' ability to identify the death of a creature is professional, which means that vampires know which organs and tissues of a creature ...... The extent of the damage determines how quickly the creature dies.

As for cells, it's a step away for vampires.

However, relying on Zack's IQ and thinking in context, Zach can still understand what Drake meant, "So this 'cancer cell' used to be a normal human body until, like you said, they have changed." "Forgive Zach—Zach frowned, "Don't tell me that some humans now have more organs than me or something, I can't accept it." ”

"Uh......" Drake was a little uncomfortable, "no, no one has more organs than the man of four centuries (Zack)." "Take a deep breath and continue to compare cancer and vampires to his specialty," and then the cancer cells survive the way and replicate...... Well, it's the way you reproduce yourself, just like you vampires. ”

Zach breathed a sigh of relief to learn that humans weren't growing much now. If anyone is curious about Zack's feelings, let me explain: Zach is worried that at some point in his eternal life, at some point in the future, the human form will completely detach from Zack's aesthetics...... That's what he couldn't accept.

Based on Drake's words, Zach tried to translate into what he understood, "Vampires live on the blood of other creatures, and the inheritance of vampires, or reproduction, as you say, is the transformation of other creatures, especially humans with souls. ”

Derek cooperated, "Cancer cells themselves do not receive the nutrients to sustain themselves...... Manner. Because cancer cells are not tissues that function normally in the organism, the nutrients they maintain come from the biological tissues that work normally from the biological body system and have nutrient absorption channels. ”

Vampires don't farm, they eat farmers who farm. It's easy to understand this.

Derek continues, "And then its 'multiplication' is to transform the organism's own normal tissue into cancer cells. ”

Vampires don't 'do' baby vampires, vampires transform other humans. Continuing with the farmer's example, wow, there is less of a farmer and more vampires in the world.

"Oh. Zach raised an eyebrow, "Sounds like this cancer cell and a vampire." Pause, "It's exactly the same." Sure enough, it was the answer to Cyrus that had a problem.

Derek on the other side of the earpiece seemed to be a little anxious, "Also, you can't say that......"

"Are there any other characteristics of cancer cells that are completely different from vampires?" Zach asked.

"Uh, uh......" The question was too difficult, and Drake couldn't resist the pressure, "At least vampires won't destroy this world, will they?

Zach pouted, remembering the 'great ideal' he had told Cyrus Giovanni.

"If the ecosystem corresponding to cancer is the human body, the world must be the counterpart to vampires. Heh, who knows. Zach didn't mean to be so objective, but when the life of the vampire species is based on immortality, Zack felt that at some point in the future, he was destined to see the final conclusion. Is it too much to despise the pride of one's eternal life in a hurry to whitewash one's species now.

The way of thinking of vampires, we don't have to force identification.

Zach didn't need to continue to hold back the argument that Drake, a human being, continued to hold back the objective facts, and the second question of the call, "You used to be a doctor in the Central, and I asked you about the situation in the Central Hospital." ”

"You, you ask. Drake breathed a sigh of relief with mixed emotions.

"I've heard that most of the hospitals in the central part of the country will prepare blood banks for the Indians, is this true?"

"yes. At least the stem of the question was unhuman and inhuman, and the diseases that plagued modern medicine were an easy question for Drake, and he answered it crisply.

"Why?" Zach frowned.

"Why?" Derek seemed to ask himself, "this...... I haven't looked into it either...... Probably some religious needs, and the Holy Lord faith also has similar needs. ”

"Is there a belief in the Holy Lord?" Zach was surprised.

"Yes, there are people in special churches who don't accept organ transplants, and some people refuse blood transfusions. Derek's voice was helpless, "In the final analysis, it is not mandatory for doctors to treat patients, this is how the waiver agreement for violating the doctor's orders comes about, and doctors cannot force patients to cooperate with the treatment process......"

Derek seemed to talk about some of the frustrations in his career, and began to ramble. Zach didn't listen, recalling the teachings of the Holy Lord's faith, the holy scriptures do have relevant content that emphasizes the integrity of the human body, and it should be known to everyone that 'the Lord created human beings in his own image'. This kind of content is held up as truth by some believers, and it is possible to refuse to change everything in the body.

In the century that Zach left the Federation, and at the same time a century in which the progress of human civilization changed drastically, the faith situation in the middle of the Federation seemed to have more things that Zack was not very familiar with.

Zach interrupted Drake, who was still rambling, "Okay, I got it. Zach can barely understand the situation of the Holy Lord's faith, but he can't understand the Indians' belief in witchcraft—when did the witchcraft belief conflict with blood (blood transfusion)? I won't continue to delay your appointment. ”

It's not abrupt, it's Zach who heard the background sound during the call, apparently ~ Miss Amanda, who used to be Mrs. Quinn's caretaker and is now a nurse, has a dinner appointment with Derek. Just now, when I was in the Seriskop cancer cell, Amanda's voice appeared once, asking what color tie Drake would bring, and she wanted to match the skirt~

So ~ it was a very formal date ~ Zach gave encouragement before Drake was embarrassed, "Come on~Grande's brother~" hung up.

Walk straight out of the office, go downstairs, and listen intently to the situation around Grande on the back porch. Zach had to avoid the reporters who were squatting outside and visit his neighbors. On the question of witchcraft beliefs, don't ask who Pochi asks?

Zach appeared directly in the witchcraft lab in the backyard of the Poch family. As soon as he stood still, he was hugged by a 'small' human and a very powerful wizard, Andrew Quinn, "Hug~"

Zach pointed out that it was Mrs. Tiquin who was hugging her grandson, making Andrew look at him, "What about your parents?"

"Bedroom~" Andrew pointed in the direction of Zach.

Even for the people of the Southside, it was not time to go to bed yet, and the thimble reminded that the direction of Zack's bedroom was released to isolate prying eyes, and Zach knew that he would not be able to see Pochi for the time being, "What are you doing here?"

"I'm inventing my own witchcraft~" Andrew writhed in Zack's arms, guiding Zach in a certain direction.

Zach gave permission and walked over to the workbench that was obviously made for Andrew, looking at the pile of half-finished witchcraft props and frowning, "What witchcraft are you inventing?"

"Summon~" Andrew seemed happy to explain his creation to Zack, picking up something similar to a flashlight in Zack's arms, "This should summon the spirits of my ancestors." The little face was disappointed, "but failed." As he spoke, he turned on the switch.

If Sam hadn't told Zack in advance that there would be no danger, a wizard who didn't know the depth used a witchcraft prop in front of Zack's face?

A dark red incantation similar to a pillar of flashlight was projected onto the ground, and Zach looked at it for a moment, "I don't see anything being summoned. ”

Andrew held his mouth and slapped the prop in his hand. It's like if you don't get a good TV reception, you'll kick it.

Zach looked again, and the dark red spell began to tangled to take shape, slowly, but more and more clearly. Zach began to back away, "Your ancestors, it's Alpha. "The image of the spell is a wolf lying on the ground.

"A dead alpha. Andrew still pouted, and it was clear that the gifted little wizard was not satisfied with the results of his creation.

Andrew dropped the 'flashlight' in his hand, and the spell disappeared. The little guy was comfortable in Zack's arms, "I want a living ancestor, not a dead alpha." I failed. ”

Zach felt that it was enough to provide his own arms, and there was no need to go out of his way to comfort him, "Then you are doomed, I don't think your ancestors can be alive." ”

"Na~ You don't understand what I mean~" Andrew slapped Zack's face, it was not heavy, the kind of normal child who is coquettish to the neighbor's uncle, "I want an ancestor who can talk to~ Do you know? I think my mother's biggest regret is that she doesn't even know which Indian surname her bloodline comes from~" Pulling the corners of his mouth, "Father (Pochi) always uses this to mock his mother." ”

Zach didn't want to comment on the neighbor's marital life, we all knew what kind of character Poki was and how the family was formed, so there was no need to slander anything.

Andrew went on to explain why he created it, "I want to help my mother get her family name back, and I need someone who can talk to the spirits of my ancestors and tell me what 'his' last name is. ”

Andrew was a little upset...... Spat on the ground, "But for some reason, every time I summon it, this dead soul is used. "Alpha's wolf body is a dead soul, this doesn't need to be explained," Hmph, the dead Alpha hijacking!"

Zach decided not to discipline the neighbors about their children's upbringing, but, Andrew, Zach definitely didn't want to hug anymore. Let Andrew go to the ground, and he will slightly step away from the place where he was spit, "What do you mean to hijack?"

"That's what it means to hijack~" Andrew stretched out his hands, pressed against Zack, and asked to continue to be held, "I want to summon the ancestors after this alpha - its descendants, the target of witchcraft has been forcibly rewritten, and it is it that comes out! I want to summon its ancestors, its fathers, the goal of witchcraft is still forcibly rewritten, and it is still it that comes out! I can't do anything to get past this nasty guy!"

Andrew posted, and Zach continued to retreat.

"You should probably respect it, after all, it's obviously your ancestor too. "Zach just suggested.

"It's dead and can't be heard~"

There is no way to refute it.

When Zach was about to decide to abandon the visit.

"Andrew, what are you doing, why don't you say anything when the guests come!" Poki appeared, and seeing that he was sweaty and disheveled, he actually had the face to blame his son for not informing him?

"Where's Mommy?" Andrew ignored the reproach.

"Take a bath. Poki blushed and glanced at Zack before he began to groom.

Andrew had a new goal and ran away, and Yu Poqi shouted behind him with an irritated expression, "Go to your bathroom!

Looking at the direction in which Andrew ran, it can be confirmed that Poch does not have the dignity of a father.

Zach watched all this silently, very kindly without showing a hint of judgment, "I just came to ask you something." Is there a blood rule in witchcraft beliefs?"

Poki gave Zach an impatient look as he straightened his appearance, "You have to be specific, there are many places where blood is used in witchcraft beliefs. His eyes swept to the 'flashlight' that Andrew had just shown, "Hmph, like this toy." ”

Summoning uses blood, and Zach knows that. Do you remember when Sbella summoned Papa Midnight in the basement of her house, using sheep's blood?

"It's not witchcraft, it's pure beliefs, such as whether the Indians have to use the Indians' blood bank if they need a blood transfusion. ”

"Nope. Pochi replied simply, "The doctrine of witchcraft is simple. Glancing at Zach maliciously, "Don't disturb the life that exists in this nature, whether it's body or soul!"

Pochi, it's funny.
