Crowley's phone hung up. It's like you ask your friend why he suddenly slapped himself, and your friend replies that he saw two dogs biting each other on the street yesterday. Would you still expect an answer from this friend?

That's how Crowley felt, so she hung up. Zach was also happy not to need an explanation, put down the phone, and decided to wait a little longer for the call from the 'General'.

Didn't wait. The 'General' didn't see Zach as the one he turned to when he needed answers. Relieved, sorry, mixed emotions anyway, Zach didn't wait any longer and went back to the bedroom.

After raising his hand in the mirror and kissing his thumb lightly, "It turns out that Toledo's body hides the key to the gate of heaven. ”

"I hear you. The image in the mirror seems to have accepted Zack's arbitrary communication code, "The barrier between us seems to have completely disappeared, and I know what you've been through." ”

Zach blinked, "Do you know what I'm going through, even if there's nothing that reflects the image?" Zach didn't have a mirror in his office.

"Yes. Kindness...... I don't know how to describe it, but before, it seemed like I could only be in certain places, waiting for you to show up. Now, I'm all here, it's just that you need a specific place to see me. ”

Zach looked around.

In the literal sense of the word, the so-called specific place is naturally a mirror, a human-created image preservation technology. It is also a common sense image that will only be seen by the subject if there are conditions.

But if you think about it carefully, you will find that the strange place image does not always exist, it is only the subject that has always existed. When we walk down the street, we occasionally look at ourselves in the mirror when we pass by reflective objects, adjust our hairstyle, look at our makeup, or something. The image is not always there, it appears only because we have passed by.

But now, what the video tells Zach is, I've always been there, and I'm not showing up when you're passing by, but you can only see me when you're passing by.

So Zach's question was, "And where are you when I can't see you?"

"Where you are, I will be. ”

Zach closed his eyes slightly, "Yes, you said it, what this world has, you have it there." ”

Translating the answer at this time, when you walk to a mirror on the side of the road on the street, your image is also walking, knowing that you meet inside and outside the mirror, and you fix your hair together.

Zach frowned again, "You just said that there is something golden around you that obscures the black mist. "What Zach means is, where I can't see you, are you walking into the black fog?

"I know what you're thinking, you're right. When you went to answer the phone and leave, I had already tried, and out of the range of this mirror, I walked out of this circle of gold, stepped into the black fog, and you couldn't see me. ”

"But the truth is just that I'm out of the mirror reflection. ”

"Yes. The image nodded, "It's just that we're out of sight, and I'm not worried about this golden film breaking now." ”

"Why?"

The video looked at Zach for a moment and said, "Why don't you look at your ID." With that, he stepped out of the scope of the mirror.

Looking at the empty mirror, Zach's mouth moved, took out his wallet, took out his only valid ID of a federal citizen, and stared at his photo, "Are you there?"

"I'm here. "Zach in the photo moved. Remember, this photo was taken by Zach after he obtained the image ability, and because the mayor was Anthony, Zach was not worried about his identity leakage, and dared to enter his appearance into the federal citizen system so casually.

I don't worry because I know where we can meet again.

"Let me guess, the golden film is the edge of the picture. ”

"Worthy of my Zach Ray Torredo, you're smart. "It's even weirder to say, 'worthy of being my subject.'"

Zach began to make tentative requests, "Can you be in the mirror and in the picture at the same time?" ”

"Of course you can, otherwise do you think your ID card was blank just now?" actually taunted Zack.

"What I mean is to be able to talk to me. Zach pouted, which is really his own characteristic of the habit of livening up the atmosphere when the topic is serious.

The image in the mirror came back, "No. "But if you wash up a hundred of that picture, I can talk to you in a hundred pictures at the same time." ”

Oh, the people who seem to be exploring, not only Zach is unilaterally, but the images are also being explored simultaneously.

"How do you know?"

"Because the picture has a backup in Barton's citizen file, I just tried. "At the same time, there is an electronic file in the federal government citizen archive in the center, and I can also act at the same time." ”

"What is an electronic archive?"

"I don't know. He replied simply, "I'm just telling you, your files aren't just in Barton, don't ask me about human technology, I can't understand what you don't understand." ”

Belch.

This kind of self-deprecating words, Zach can't mind. Frank guessed one thing correctly, that is, Zack's image, because of today's human civilization, science and technology, can be copied by thousands of people, and these thousands of Zach are Zack.

Toledo, in this day and age, really has to take off at a pace.

Zach began to try to use this ability for the first time, which Frank described as 'being favored by the world', "Can you make that electronic file disappear that I don't know what it is." ”

"Don't you want your Zach Raygrande identity to get out of Barton Anthony's control?"

"Yes. Zach nodded solemnly.

The image of Zach in the mirror is gone.

It didn't take long, just a few seconds, and he came back, "Solved." I hope you don't mind that I found someone more handsome than me and took my place. ”

Something blossomed in Zack's heart and overflowed with words. Vampires are immortalized in the most difficult difficulties of the human social system, and they are solved so easily, "If you don't mind, I won't mind~"

Look at each other and smile inside and outside the mirror. Why are you laughing? Hehe, let's think about why you don't find someone who is uglier than Zack inside and outside the mirror, you can understand.

"Now I need to confirm that. Zach became serious again, "These are the changes you only had after Sissi took out the Heaven Gate Key from Toledo's body, or have you always had them?" ”

The autonomous consciousness of the image, Zach has long discovered it, hasn't he? Disarming the threat to Patton's civic file is just one application that Zach tried under Frank's guess. The ultimate goal of this conversation with this mirror is to understand what Sissi has done.

"I'm not sure. The image in the mirror showed a thoughtful look, "I can't see the ...... until Sissi makes that meaningless gesture to you, letting the key to the gate of heaven come out of you" Looking around again, the focus of his gaze on Zach, the person outside the mirror, is still the frame, "The black mist blocked by the golden film." ”

Zach didn't understand the meaning of the words.

The image in the mirror shook his head, "You don't take off all your clothes, walk out of your house, and hang out in public." ”

"Not this fetish. "Zach is crisp.

"Because home is a barrier, a boundary, you will naturally think that as long as it is in your own home, you can do whatever you want. Out of the house, you can't. ”

Zach frowned and processed the words of the image, "You mean, the circle of gold that hinders the black fog lets you know how far you can exert your abilities." ”

Feel that, in essence, these two sentences mean the same thing.

"Yes, before, I couldn't see the border, and the world I saw here was exactly the same as yours. All the places where you don't appear (where there are no mirrors), but there are no people on your side who you get along with and encounter with. I can't do anything while you're away, and I don't dare, I can only wait for your reappearance in an empty world......"

Zach was a little ...... It's uncomfortable, and Zach doesn't even know that he has such a grudge side. But if you were trapped in a world in a time loop, you didn't have all the people around you, Papa Midnight, Louise, Murphy...... The same is true of myself.

The image in the mirror continues" and you appear, and I only dare to reproduce your movements, to do the only thing that I think is what I should do and that I should execute perfectly. Anything that goes beyond this work will make me worry about the impact on your world. Shaking his head, "My actions do have an impact. "For example, the first time he walked away from Alice's mirror, remember, Zach was shocked.

Zach understood a little, "The current black fog and golden barrier are separating you from the world. ”

The image nodded, "It's the same blindfold that people put on horses, it makes me concentrate." I know that in this range, that's the scope of my power. Look at Zach, "When you're still in front of my eyes, the stupid mistake of stepping out of this range, I'm not going to make it again." At the same time, when you and I are in this range, as long as I know that it is what you want, I can make it, hmph, I don't have to worry about what happens to the world in the black fog, because, that's your world. ”

Zach anthropomorphic took a deep breath, "You're right. The black fog blocked by gold is my world. "Can you keep up? A slightly more extreme example might be used as an analogy

TV. In our opinion, what does this technological product of contemporary human beings represent? Does the real world outside the boundaries of the screen have anything to do with the love and hatred inside the screen? Whatever drama the audience wants on the screen, it will and should be. The real world in which the audience lives, and what happens is handled by the audience. The world on the screen, please focus on what the audience wants to see.

That's concentration. Let a person who has not seen Zack's image for four centuries, tremble and doubt his own external world, please be covered by the black fog, those are not the images to worry about, it is Zack's business. What Zach needs is for his image to express itself well in that small golden frame that may be infinitely reproduced as human civilization progresses. Just like we have seen those magical plots on the TV screen, please try to make it as exciting.

"I don't think that it was Sissi who did something to make me have this ability, I should have always had it, but I never knew what range I could use this ability before, I didn't dare. The image is just summing up what we've realized," now I know. ”

Zach nodded, "Then can we ignore the fact of 'golden', which is the color of the Holy Lord's belief in heaven." ”

"Do you know what's really weird, if I find this gold before the key to the Heavenly Gate is taken out by Sissi, you and I probably won't be surprised, we are the creations of the Holy Lord's faith. The impact was as he said, making up for all the 'Zack' he had left behind in four centuries, "We would not be surprised that there was any trace of the Lord left on our bodies. ”

Zach nodded silently. Let the image continue, "The strange thing is that this golden appearance happened after the key to the gate of heaven was removed. I felt that before that, without Toledo knowingly, the key to Heaven's Gate was contained in his body, and it was the closest vampire came to heaven. It was just a small exclamation, and after the exclamation, "Why did the traces of Heaven appear on us after the key to the Gate of Heaven left our bodies?"

There is no doubt that the reason why Zach nodded is because the questioning of the image is his questioning, "I think the only reasonable reason is that the reward of the Holy Lord is not what we envisioned...... No, it should be the reward of the Holy Lord, as we imagined. ”

This is a bit of a twist. Fortunately, there are two Zacks inside and outside the mirror to help us explain

"It's an addition. Vampires, as abandoned souls in the Holy Lord's faith, should not still have traces of heaven, and the Holy Lord's reward is to attach the elements of the Holy Lord's faith to the vampires. ”

"Sissi's withdrawal of the key to the Gate of Heaven is to reduce some of the elements of the Holy Lord's faith that have been added to me, but it exposes the golden film that originally came with the image ability. ”

"That's all I have to say now. If that's what a vampire's image ability should look like, then Sissi's Heaven's Gate Key, which she originally placed in Toredo's last name, was just a disguise for the ability itself. ”

Zach closes his eyes and goes through the whole conversation, from the time the image suddenly obtains his own four centuries of experience (the so-called change of mind) to the image now easily altering the citizen archives that already exist in the federal civic system

This is the ultimate upgrade that should give vampires more powerful in this world, right? That's what deserves the name of the reward. It's definitely not the confusing image that says 'I haven't seen you in four centuries' as soon as you express your sense of self!

Zach opened his eyes, "That, what does the key to Heaven's Gate mean while preventing the image ability from really working, what is Sissi's hidden selfishness......" Zach turned from the mirror and shook his head, "I don't care much. Let's talk again when we have time. ”

"Agreed. In the mirror, he also turned his back to Zach's image and expressed his agreement.

Zach was about to get to work, and the funeral man came.
