Warehouse south of Grande.
"Georgina. Zach leaned on a half-made stone sculpture quite casually, squinted, and raised his chin towards Georgina, who was eating, "Except for me who comes to bring you a piece of tofu every day at noon, don't you go out to find food yourself?"
Georgina glanced at Zach and was unhappy, "The full moon cycle, don't dare to go out and shake around." ”
Zach wasn't satisfied with the answer, "You're afraid of Benjamin?"
"No, it's Matthew. Georgina means that she doesn't trust Matthew's self-control.
Zach raised an eyebrow, a little more comfortable, "Then I have unfortunate news for you, this will continue for another week, and the sensory enhancement after the transformation has been delayed." "Aconite soup," do you need me to see you more often?"
Zach would say this for two reasons. One is Georgina's own problem, and now most of the people in Grande are aware that this Magic Banquet Torredo is in Grande, except for James. Supposedly, she would have been willing to do whatever she wanted when James wasn't there, but she didn't, she stayed in the warehouse all the time, occasionally asking Zach to bring her the newspaper when he came to bring her food, and kept abreast of what was going on in the outside world.
The second is that before Zach sent Alice to school in the morning, he came to Georgina to ask for blood for James, but he just put a bottle, and Zach was a little surprised to find that Georgina's face was too pale. It was a state of ischemia, so Zach guessed she hadn't eaten well at all these days.
"No, I don't. Georgina hesitated and shook her head.
"Really, aren't you hungry?" Zach raised an eyebrow. If it weren't for seeing the other party's pale face in the morning, Zach really couldn't feel anything, and even now that he was facing each other, Zach couldn't feel any breath from Georgina.
"Hungry. Georgina was direct. "But don't use it, treat it as a ......" She interrupted in time, glanced at Zack, skimmed her gaze, and focused on dealing with the blood tofu.
Zach blinked, trying to make up for Georgina's broken words in his head. Practice, practice, practice? Remember the last time Georgina said to Zack about a technique that anyone could practice, "Tell me what, or I won't be bringing you food tomorrow." ”
Georgina gave Zach a roll of her eyes.
Zach added, "You've been with Grande for almost two weeks, and I've been cooperating with you waiting for you to find James on your own, but you've been inactive. I'm running out of patience, well, it's decided. When James came back today, he told him to come and take a look at the warehouse......"
"Shameless. ”
"Despise me, it's better for me to change my decision. Zach shrugged indifferently.
Georgina frowned and stared at Zach, "This is our clan's secret. ”
Sure enough, then Zach won't let it go, "And your clan stole my surname, don't you think you should give me some compensation." ”
"Who wants your Toledo last name!" Georgina tilted her head.
"Oh yes. What you want is the power of the Holy Lord in this surname. Zach chuckled, "Have you figured out where you stand with me?" ”
Georgina subconsciously took a step back. Although not obvious, it assumed a defensive posture.
"I'm going to misunderstand you for an answer, and it's a terrible answer. Zach tilted his head.
Georgina's body stiffened, and then she had to relax and let Zach clear up the 'misunderstanding'. After thinking about it for a while, it seems that something has been decided. "I don't care if the Demon Banquet Toredo can officially become the Thirteen Clans, you obviously know that I ...... because of Luo and Robert" She didn't finish speaking, she looked away and shook her head. The face was also ugly, obviously not wanting to recall something.
Well, Zach's sympathy for Georgina returned, raising his hand and waving, "Forget it, don't say it." Don't bother you anymore. Patting the dust on the stone carvings, he walked to the door.
Already close to the door.
"It's a technique of blood flow control. Georgina said, "Hunger is one of the ways to train." ”
Zach turned his head, not encouraging or stopping.
"Every time the heart beats, it needs only 70 or 80 milliliters of blood, which means ......"
"This is the minimum for our vampires to survive. Zach couldn't help but answer.
Georgina stared at Zach for a while before continuing to speak, "If you can't let the blood in your full body come to a halt indefinitely, then start practicing with these seventy or eighty milliliters." ”
Zach opened his mouth slightly and looked at Georgina for a while, "Thank you." ”
Georgina looked away, "Don't thank me, I said before that anyone can learn this skill, and I haven't seen anyone in your thirteen clans master it." ”
Zach pursed his lips, "I can already imagine how difficult it would be to succeed in mastering this technique. Zach raised his hand, no longer looked at Georgina, and pushed the door out, "You can do it, I think I can too." ”
There was a thud behind him, and there was probably a white eye, but Zach couldn't see it, so he closed the warehouse door casually and went back to the restaurant, where Grande's lunch was still in progress.
At the Grande table today, there are also guests, two, Emilia and Shelpiede.
If Emilia alone was okay, Zach would have been fine with a glass of wine and mixed lunch, but because of Sheppier, Zach had to put a plate of blood tofu in front of him, and pretended to like it very much, "It's unexpectedly good, right, Xerbet, this is a special meal of the Republic." ”
"Yes, no, that's good. Obviously, Xue Pide didn't like it, but he didn't want to embarrass his friend either, so he reluctantly agreed with Zack's words.
Emilia was not so cooperative, her face was gloomy the whole time, and the blood tofu on her plate did not move. Vampire food, she would never touch.
But we must be clear that Emilia's gloomy face is not because of the food on her plate, but because of ...... At least in Zach's guess, it's because of Harrison. Harrison returned to the North Side yesterday.
Oz the mind reader fulfilled his own suggestion and successfully 'resurfaced' Harrison's own memories that Harrison couldn't get back to, and then Harrison spent more than a week preparing - concocting a plausible process of his disappearance, and finally yesterday afternoon, pretending to be completely ignorant of what had happened to Barton. Went to the shelter and completed the return.
Judging from Emilia's gloomy face and two obvious dark circles, this couple should have had an all-night 'talk'. Zach had a bad premonition.
Xue Pide's arrival was greeted in advance, and he called in the morning to inform him, saying that he wanted to come over to discuss something with Zack. Emilia's visit came as a bit of a surprise. Zach didn't know what she was here for, and he didn't know why she was here with Shep.
"I'm not eating. Inexplicably, Emilia pushed away her plate and looked at Xue Pide, "Tell Zack if you have something, I'll have something to do with him." ”
Zach's bad premonition deepened, but he still looked at Xue Pide, "It sounds like Dr. Browning should have a personal matter, you can talk about it first." We should give the ladies time. ”
"Oh. Although he agreed, Xue Pide's expression was still a little hesitant, and he looked at the people at the table, especially Emilia, who did not have a good face.
Zach understood, this meant that he didn't want anyone to listen, "How about Dr. Browning go to the office and wait for me first." ”
Emilia didn't reply, got up and left.
Seeing Emilia leave, Zach smiled at Sheppet. "Why don't we go to the back porch and talk? you can have lunch, I don't mind." ”
"Okay. Xue Pide smiled. is not pretentious, picked up the plate and walked out of the restaurant first. When Grande found this guy, he was still a bum, so he didn't care about dining etiquette.
Zack, just in time to leave the blood tofu, I wanted to serve a glass of wine. Thinking about the 'knowledge' he had just received from Georgina, he hesitated for a moment and followed out empty-handed.
"That, Zach, I want to resign. "It's straightforward.
Zach was a little surprised and didn't ask. Wait for the other person to explain.
"I haven't said anything to Mrs. Quinn yet, but I've asked Dr. Browning. Although the content was direct, the tone was still hesitant, "She said let me ask for your opinion, you are the person who introduced me, I can have this job entirely because of your help, and I want to resign from your heart." ”
Zach pursed his lips and nodded, "Can you tell me why?"
His tone became more hesitant, "Yes." You know I was training at the Sedil Security Company, and Mrs. Quinn arranged for me to be sent there for vocational training in order to secure the pilot drugs at the shelter. ”
Zach nodded again, he remembered that it was because of this training that Xue Pide was lucky enough to avoid the attack of the remnants of the Fight Club, allowing Emilia and Oz to collide head-on, so there was Zach who intervened in the later incident to clean up the remnants. Well, don't go far.
"I ......" Xue Pide hesitated and frowned, "I think, that, I was being used." ”
Zach glanced at the middle-aged man and remained calm, "What do you say?"
"Train with me some of the security guards that Mrs. Quinn has recruited. Xue Pide spoke slowly, as if trying to neutralize his expression, "After the training, most of them resigned, and then returned a few days later, but changed their identities and returned to the shelter as employees of Aix Security, a new security company in the southeast. ”
Zach raised an eyebrow, "Employee of Aix Security?"
"Yes. ”
"I remember you told me. Zach frowned, "As far as the shelter is concerned, Mrs. Quin is the one who wants to use herself, and she won't hire an outside security company. ”
Still, "Yes." Xue Pide nodded, "I was so confused at first, but after all, Mrs. Quin is the person who gave me the job, and I don't want to question anything." However, the colleagues who were originally trained together are now working together in a different capacity, and there is no problem in cooperation and communication, and nothing has changed if you ignore their work identity. ”
Zach was silent for a moment, already thinking about it, "You said it felt like it was being taken advantage of. "Let's listen to it from the mouth of the person concerned.
"Yes. Xue Pide nodded again, he couldn't stay neutral anymore, and there was an uncomfortable feeling in his tone, "I usually chat with them, and I began to slowly discover this Aix Security Company......" He glanced at Zack again, as if he wanted to pass on something, "I have stolen what we learned in the Saidil training, personnel management, business development, and division of labor ......"
Xue Pide shook his head, "I know this sounds a bit extreme, they are all companies of the same nature, and it should be normal for the rules and regulations to be similar, but those who resign after the training and come back after changing their identities ......" He paused, his tone was very helpless, "Colleagues, Aix Company, it really makes me feel uncomfortable." ”
Zach just nodded, not too bothered to comment because there was nothing good to say. Whether it is extreme or normal, everyone judges for themselves.
"Plus ......," Xue Pide frowned, "You know, I have a friend at Saidil Security. ”
Zach knew that the guy who was installing the alarm in Grande was installing the alarm when the people in Grande heard on the radio that the medical supply vehicle going to the shelter had been attacked, and the first thing they reacted to was to contact Shepherd and Emilia at the shelter to confirm safety.
"When we got together occasionally, he told me something about how Aix Security was stealing clients from Sedil. He looked at Zach, was silent for a moment, and shook his head, "Bad means." I probably shouldn't have said that to you. ”
It shouldn't be, it's just upsetting irrelevant people.
But, is Zach an unrelated person, it's not, "It's okay, we're friends, of course you can say that to me." ”
"Thank you. Phew-" Xue Pide let out a sigh of relief and smiled at Zack, "It really feels better to have someone say it, these days I go to work, and I see those 'colleagues' walking around in Aix security jackets, there is always a kind ......of nameless fire" He laughed awkwardly and said no more.
Zach knew a little more about this Shelp, and his integrity should not need to be explained, and now there is a 'habitual evasion' to add. It seems to be derogatory, it is derogatory, a veteran with sound limbs and good health, obviously arranged to work in a prison, because he was not used to seeing some things in prison, resigned, and became a homeless man. Now he seems to be unconsciously repeating this history again.
"So you really don't want to work there anymore?" Zach wanted to confirm.
"Yes. Xue Pide had an apologetic look on his face, "I have failed to live up to your kindness in introducing me to the shelter, I, well, I'm sorry." ”
Zach smiled and shook his head, not inconsistent - "It's nothing, look at the way you look, if you continue to work there, you won't be happy, it's better to resign." If escaping is pleasurable, Zach doesn't have much to dissuade, but it's a friend, Zach reminds, "What are you going to do in the future?" Zach didn't say anything like 'Go back to being a homeless man?'.
From a selfish point of view, Zach's purpose in introducing Shepherd to the asylum had been achieved, and he had already brought information to Grande, hadn't he?
"Oh. Xue Pide's expression was a little embarrassed, "Well, my friend in Saidil gave me an invitation, if I resign from the shelter, I can go to Saidir's company." ”
Zach raised his eyebrows, this is not bad, and his smile is much more sincere now, "Hehe, I have already thought of a place to go." ”
"Huh. Xue Pide smiled, a little embarrassed.
"Alright, it's interesting that you can come to me. Do what you want, and you know I've got your back. ”
"Thank you. ”
Zach patted Shep, "Now, we can't afford to keep Dr. Browning waiting. Zach blinked, "Any hints? What is she looking for me?"
Xue Pide shook his head, Zach pouted helplessly, went back to the house, and went to the office.
Pushing open the door and hearing the first sentence, "Harrison told me all." ”
Zach pursed his lips and walked to the desk, his bad premonition coming true.
It seems that Harrison has been grinding for a week to make up lies, and he is broken.
