3 From Mr. Gilberg to Frank
Louise was already dressed up β Walter and Maggie's engagement party.
"I'm going alone?" Louise asked Zack, who didn't seem ready to go.
"Now there's a vampire ancestor who crossed the Federation in less than two days and is abusing our food reserves in our barn, so I'm sorry I can't leave Grande. β
"Uh, I know, the ancestor is powerful and dangerous, but what's the difference between him and Mokawi?" Louise wasn't happy that she was going alone, and the other non-obvious meaning was that Zach shouldn't dwell too much on how powerful someone else's dad was. It's like you did with Mokawi, you can't take it too seriously.
"The difference is that for some inexplicable reason, Mocamin was hooked on Benjamin, and then as much as I hated the notion that Benjamin and Mokawi were together, I could confirm that Benjamin was on my side. But he, Mr. Gilberg, should I believe that the sheep could charm him?"
"Uh......" Louise was momentarily speechless, but immediately, "take him with you." β
"Oh no. Zach shook his head speechlessly, "You didn't hear what we were talking about, how did he get to the public bathroom?"
"I heard you, Chapman found him, right. β
"That's not the point. Rather, he knew that the world was different from what he knew, and that every place, every building, was beyond his comprehension. He didn't know where he could step in, and he ended up running to a place where he was speechless and waiting for help, as he was far superior to most creatures in this world. Can you imagine how sad that is?"
Louise frowned, "That's not what he said, he said he only found out what it was by Chapman." β
"Really?" Zach shook his head, "do you believe this self-respecting lie? Four centuries of slumber have left a vampire ancestor unable to smell excrement, and civilization has not advanced to the point where people like to excrete on occasions." He's from a historical era, but he needs someone to tell him what kind of place it is?"
"Uh......" Louise frowned, "you mean he deliberately ran to such a place and waited for the police to look for him?"
"Yes, and that's the only place he can go, think about it, public facilities, continuous flow of people, mixed classes, easy to notice, not cause too much commotion, and then most importantly, safety, no one is going to stay there for too long. If we are suddenly thrown into the future four centuries from now, the only thing we can hope for is that places like public toilets have not disappeared from the progress of the times! β
"I see, so there's no way you're going to take him to any social occasion, let alone an Indian woman's engagement party." β
"Yes. β
Louise pressed Zach's arm, "But you're not his son, you don't need to take care of him, that's Lesembra's job." β
"It's a pity he's here, isn't he? Zach shook his head, "And I'm not taking care of someone else's father, I just need to keep an eye on him." β
"Okay. Louise nodded, "Stay safe." When he was about to get into the car, James jumped out and jumped into the passenger seat as if he was running for his life.
Zach only explained, "Don't tell Darcy. β
Turning around, Zach prepares to go back to the office.
As soon as I entered the office, I saw Mr. Gilberg standing in the middle of the office.
Zach was taken aback, and just a split second, Zach was sure that the other party's breath was in the barn to the west.
"Hehe, don't be so surprised, you know I'm fast. "Across the Federation, right. Mr. Gilberg smiled at Zack and raised an eyebrow, "Again, what I grew up in my four centuries of slumber seems to include my ......," he smiled and pointed to his ear, without saying anything else.
Zach pursed his lips, bowed his head at forty-five degrees, and sat behind his desk.
"I'm not surprised that Toledo's favorite son has exposed my lies. Mr. Gilberg sat down across from Zach, "I'm glad that Toledo now has a perfect leader." β
It was a compliment, so Zach answered, "Thank you." Then as the host's etiquette, "I hope your appetite is satisfied." β
"Beyond contentment. "I must say that today is the most comfortable day I have had in four centuries. β
Very good, the ancestor of the thirteen clans Lesenbra is a guy who is very easy to be satisfied, and it is the most comfortable day to eat all-you-can-eat sheep blood. Hmph, can you see the irony?
Mr. Gilberg's words were endless, "I have always wondered what this day will be like, hehe, and it turns out that the truth does not match my imagination at all." β
Zach wasn't ready to respond to this, and packed up the Vega murder papers on his desk that James had left behind.
"Is this the case you and James had arguing with when I first arrived? "Tsk, he's curious about this.
Zach didn't choose, pushing through the file.
Mr. Gilberg read it quicklyβhe kept turning the page, and I don't know if he actually read it. Soon handed the file back to Zack, "It feels so weird. He shook his head, "When Mokawi came up with that wicked poker to make the vampires and the human soldiers comrade-in-arms, I also said to Van Zhuo, 'Humans and aliens become comrades-in-arms? Shhh~ The old man speaks history in the first person, and all we have to do is listen carefully, "Now." Hmph, the alien died to protect humanity. Mr. Gilberg shook his head, "The world is getting stranger. β
"That's not certain. Zach wasn't prepared to talk about history, "James and I really argued about which of the two dead was the target of the murderers. This can characterize the case, and then there is a statement about who is protecting whom. β
Mr. Gilberg tilted his head slightly, as if he just casually mentioned, "Why can't two be targets, aliens and humans establish intimacy, disgusting unions, in my time, I would execute together." β
Zach was stunned for a moment, then picked up the phone and started calling the North District Police Department. Without being connected, Zach can leave a message for James.
Mr. Gilberg watched Zach make the call, "I know this thing, and Rout told me it's called, well...... 'long-distance call terminal,' right." β
"Telephone. About half a century ago, the word was added to the dictionary. "The phone was picked up anyway, it was Wes's voice," Detective Lance called. "A very ethical opening.
"When James arrives at the police station, tell him I have a ......" Zach glanced at Mr. Gilberg, "Grande's new guest has an idea, Vega's murder target is not alien or human. It is the fact that aliens and humans have a close relationship. In the past, they attacked the alien race that adopted a human child, but they did not do anything to the child because the child had no initiative in the social system, and the children who were assigned to the alien family did not voluntarily establish a relationship with the alien. So the children are not yet worthy of death as punishment, but obviously, those people did not show mercy to those children, they basically ruined the children's family and then left regardless of it. Then, their goal was achieved, and the social services of Vega City evacuated the children who had been adopted by the aliens, and then, their goals shifted to humans and aliens who had voluntarily established relationships. And this time, both humans and aliens deserve the punishment of their deaths, so the murderers have nothing to spare. Vega's serial murders are typical of anti-social terrorist attacks. β
Zach finished speaking at once, not giving Wes a chance to react, "And then Grande's new guest, don't ask, don't say." You know the rules, Wes. "Hung up.
Putting down the phone, Zach looked at Mr. Gilberg, "Thank you, you may be able to solve a major problem for your son's city." β
"Is it~" Mr. Gilberg smiled, "I'm glad I helped." Smiling and squinting at Zack, the topic turned, unexpected and not worth the surprise, "What do you think of Root's city?"
"Good. β
Mr. Gilberg kept smiling, "After being awakened, during the few days of Vega's short stay, the most I ate was the blood of Root, except for a pile of girlish blood filled with some idol-celebrity fantasies. Raising his hand, he gestured to Zack, "So I have knowledge of how the world became like this, and more specifically, how my son Rutt, led the Demon Feast, created a society like the West in the shadow of the Hidden Alliance." "But like your answer, my opinion is good." Root accomplished something that I am a father of pride. But do I like it? Looking at Zach, "No, I don't like the West. β
You know what it means to look at Zack. Because it's exactly the same as Zack, he has an absolutely positive evaluation of the society in the west, but he returns to the subjective, do you like it? The answer is no.
Instead of responding immediately, Zucker was thinking seriously about what Mr. Gilberg meant. Is this a trap? Zach was skepticalβRout knew that Zach hated the Feast, so the ancestor who had received Rout's blood, Mr. Gilberg, definitely knew it. So there was no point in trapping Zach - Mr. Gilberg should have known very well that Barton's Toredo was his son's 'enemy' before he arrived. The quotation marks mean that the private enemy. Kindness...... You can take the meaning of competitor in a pejorative direction a little bit, and that's about it.
Well, that's just Mr. Gilberg's sincere words of gratitude for the perfect hospitality? well, not like that. What kind of father would say in front of his son's opponents that he doesn't like what his son has accomplished?
"You and your father are exactly the same~" Mr. Gilberg leaned forward and looked into Zack's eyes, "I can see that the thoughts behind your eyes are moving~ just like your father, you are analyzing the meaning of every word and expression that others say~ and then organize the response that is most beneficial to yourself. β
Instead of being debunked and ashamed, Zach said, "The merit of Toledo, we call this, is efficient communication." Unless, you want me to perfunctory you. β
"Hehe, even the answer is almost exactly the same~" Mr. Gilberg smiled, "Of course, he won't use honorifics on me." Immediately, the smile disappeared, but relaxed, not because he suddenly changed his behavior to be considerate of the guest, but, "I suggest that you also throw away the honorifics, whether it is theoretical or practical, you and I are now of the same class." β
Zach frowned, carefully observing Mr. Gilberg's expression to make sure he wasn't joking.
He didn't.
"Okay, Frank. "Zach.
"That's right, Zach. "Gilbert...... Let's keep the same title as the main character, Zack. Frank, "Your alpha friend seems to be back. Benjamin came back, with Murphy, and explained later, "Hehe, I need an introduction." β
Zach got it? Hey! Pay attention to the words! This is the job that the host should do for the guests!
