24 No

Sending Mrs. Quinn to the West End, Zach made a return trip, turned around halfway through, and returned to the North End.

No, as soon as the gray professional pushed open the door of the house, he saw Zach holding a baby and standing outside the door, "I need advice. Zach spoke, "And all the people around me are in a certain position, representing a certain group, and I can't listen to these people right now. I can easily detect their selfishness behind them. That's why I've come to you, and you're the only one who doesn't belong to any position and is willing to be honest with me. ”

This opening made Nuo stunned for a moment, "uh......" and then, "Get in the car." ”

It's not Zack's car, it's No's own car. Zach didn't ask where Nuo was going, and sat honestly when he got in the car.

Looking at the direction of the drive, it is to the southeast. After a moment of silence, Noh stopped the car, "You wait a minute." "I got out of the car, bought a bunch of food and drinks at the convenience store on the side of the road, and then went back to the car and continued driving.

Or did Zach ask, "Where are we going?"

"A safe house. Here's the answer.

"Your commission?"

"Sort of. No, who glanced at Zack, shook his head for some emotion, and finally asked the creature in Zack's arms, "Who is this?"

"Adam Grande, son of Benjamin and Mokawi. Zach replied as well.

Noh seemed relieved, "You said you need my advice?"

Zach nodded, but didn't speak immediately. Looking at the road ahead, he thought about it for a while before he spoke, "Do you care about the world pattern?" ”

Nuo looked at the road ahead expressionlessly, and was also silent for a while before "Do you mean the international situation?" ”

Zach's mouth was closed, but wriggled around, and he let out, "Yes." ”

"I don't care much. Noh replied.

Zach asked, "What have you done for the current international situation?" ”

This question seems to be meaningless, how can a person who does not care much about international affairs do anything for the international situation?

But, be down-to-earth. Nou thought for a moment, "You're asking if I've ever used something made in the Republic, I do, and I like to use it." ”

Zach didn't have any expression, and seemed to accept the question that Noh asked him, corresponding to the most discussed international situation in the Federation now - trade with the Republic.

"If republican goods are used, it will cause harm to the Federation. Would you still use republican stuff?"

As soon as this question came up, No's eyes were full of confusion, "I doubt that my use of republican things will have any effect on the Federation. ”

Zach shook his head, seemingly insisting on this honestly inexplicable topic, "For example, technology, technology patents and other things. Every time you spend on these things, you are contributing to the development of these industries in the Republic, thus making the living environment of these industries in the Federation worse. ”

No, again, looked at Zack with a confused look, but seeing Zack's serious look, he shook his head, and could only accept this situational presupposition, "Okay, then my question is, if these things are going to cause harm to the Federation, how did it get into the Federation and be touched by people like me, uh, civilians?"

Zach glanced at Nuo, "Naturally, it's a political operation. Someone would make such a decision. ”

"Then ......," No, too, glanced at Zach, "whether you use those things or not, it's the politicians who pay the consequences, right, so it doesn't seem like something I should worry about." ”

Zach opened his mouth, not knowing what he was thinking, "What do you mean." Zach looked at the road ahead, it was already southeast, "The people who create the international situation are responsible for the international situation, and the civilians don't have to care about this, they just use themselves." ”

Noe pursed his lips, after all, Zach didn't seem to mean very positively, "Yes." That's what I mean. ”

Zach nodded,

There was silence in the car for a while, and Nuo was a little speechless, "Zack, what are you trying to ask?" This is asking Zach to be straightforward, "Why am I a little uneasy when you are so hung on the topic?"

Zach looked at No, "What are you worried about? ”

"I really don't care, but I also have realization, you and I am not on the same level. "Noe didn't look at Zack, he looked at the road, and after entering the southeast, this area that had been neglected by the city government for a long time, the architectural planning was quite capricious, and the road was twists and turns. It is probably the reason why the location of the 'safe house' in Nuo's mouth is hidden enough, "The feeling you just said is that countries outside the Federation provide things that can make the lives of civilians better in the Federation, but what if it is not better? Although I am a civilian, I am not a fool, and when it is time to become the backing of the Federation as a citizen of the Federation, I am also obliged to stand up." ”

Zach frowned, "What obligation?"

Noh began to shake his head, "Zach, have you forgotten that I am a veteran? The current international situation may be the commercial and trade cooperation between the republic and the federation, which can be regarded as a win-win development for everyone." But the international situation more than ten years ago was a vicious competition between the Federation and the Northland, and we all know what this competition has become in the end. ”

It turned into a war where Zach and Benjamin, and Anthony met on the battlefield.

Zach opened his mouth again, but said in a voice: "It doesn't sound like you're taking the initiative, and you only fulfill your civic duties when you have to stand up." ”

Nuo pouted, "I'm not a politician, I'm an ordinary citizen, what do you expect from me? Do you just run out into the streets and put pressure on the politicians of your own country at the beginning? I'm sorry, I still have my own life to live." ”

Zach tilted his head, quiet again.

No, but he was even more 'panicked', "My friend, just say it, I really can't stand you like this." ”

Zach is still in that unpleasant state of dissonance, his fate is floating in the sky, and he does not land on the ground to make boundless words, "You seem to have made plans - the world pattern has politicians in front of you, and in the end, it is you, an ordinary citizen whose own life has been affected, to stand up and do your duty." Isn't that going to be good, what can't you stand it?"

Noe slammed on the brakes. Although the speed of the car was not fast, it was too sudden, and Zach leaned forward in the saddle once. The baby in his arms, who had been asleep, woke up in a sudden displacement, and had begun to smooth and smooth - no longer on the wrinkled and bloated white skin of the previous day's birth, and a pair of eyes blinked, "Ah...... "......I didn't cry, but I was definitely confused about not knowing what was going on in the world around me."

Zach began to gently shake the baby.

Nou looked at Zack's actions to coax the baby, and lowered his voice intimately, "Okay, just according to the preset situation you said." This is helpless, but anyone who has been in contact with Zach knows how speechless Zack's way of speaking is. What Zach really wants to discuss with No, is definitely not the international situation of the Union and the Republic!" "The political interaction between countries does fall on ordinary citizens like me, whether good or bad, in the end. "Okay, that means that now, Nono can use the goods made in the Republic that he likes in his daily life. Bad, obligation, military, war. But when you say these words, I have to consider that there are many ordinary human citizens in this world, and even if I fulfill my obligations, I can't do anything. Zach didn't say it directly, so Noh said it directly, "You're of the same race." You're not going to do anything as simple as Federal-Republican commerce. If I'm going to put on a military uniform and go to war for a foreign thing, I'd better kill myself as soon as possible, so as to save myself the pain of powerlessness. ”

Zach glanced at No, "Why can't I do things as simple as I'm a foreigner?"

Noh looked Zach from head to toe, "Reflect on what you said." Pouting, he took the food and drink he had just bought, and got out of the car.

Zach watched as Nou entered the unit building, and Adam in his arms, his eyes were foggy again, and he began to fall asleep - Zach was starting to get good at it.

No's movements were quite fast, and Zach didn't wait too long in the car before coming back. Sitting back in the driver's seat, Noh looked at Zach for a while before starting the car, "If you don't really want to talk to me, I'll send you back to Grande." ”

It's said that it's not more than three things, and Nuo has made it clear that he will let Zach say it for the third time. If Zach still floats the topic in the sky, this friendship will ......

"I don't want to do anything for the Feast anymore. Zach finally responds to Nou's request.

Noe was a little confused.

Zach, "I wasn't going to do anything for the feast, and I don't think, no, I don't admit I'm doing anything for the feast. I hate the Demon Feast, I hate this organization from the beginning, not to mention the social structure that the Demon Feast has created in the West. ”

Noh started his car and went out of the southeast first to decide the direction.

Zach continued, "But for all sorts of reasons, as long as I do something for the vampire race in the Federation, I'm doing something for the feast. Because the Federation only has a formed vampire organization, the Demon Feast. Zach paused, "Do you understand what I mean?"

Noh glanced at Zack, "You know better than you think, don't you think that no human can decide the country of their birth?" Why should I do my duty as a federal citizen?" ”

Nuo's words are not easy to explain, just understand it, and don't agree with it.

Zach didn't elaborate much, "I'm not averse to what I've been doing lately, it's just that I suddenly realized a fact. Zach began to shake his head, "All the things I have been doing lately that I have taken for granted have been picked up by the Demon Feast. I don't like it. Zach frowned, "I don't know how to describe it. ”

It's rare, Zach has something he can't say.

Nuo frowned, "It's the kind of thing that suddenly stretches out on the battlefield, why should I throw myself into such a dangerous battlefield and fight for a reason that I don't even understand the cause and effect?" ”

Zach looked at Noh for a moment, "Yes." Then, "I can feel that the people around me are my comrades." We are all on this battlefield for the same reason. But when we fight, there is an inexplicable feeling. Why? Why am I fighting with these people?"

"For their country. Noh replied.

Zach nodded, because Zach also knew that Noh didn't really answer, "That's it." I realized that as long as I fought as hard as I could on the battlefield, in the end, it was all for the country. Zach chuckled, "To me as a vampire, it's for the feast." But in fact, I didn't stand on the battlefield for the sake of the Demon Feast. I'm for my own life. ”

Noya nodded, "What soldier isn't, for the people you love, for your family, for the sake of those who have destroyed your daily life." They just walked to the battlefield. In the end, it was all sublimated to the sake of the country, and you can't say that it's wrong. But no one ever asks 'why' like that. ”

Nuo probably has a lot of say in this kind of thing, after all, he has experienced it.

As for Zach, if you compare it, hehe, you can see the similarities......

Zach, "I just don't want to be kidnapped by the Demon Feast anymore right now. "You'd better not tell me that I want to commit treason, I used the analogy of the country, but you know, I'm talking about aliens." "Waving hands," the alien race has never established a political system on the scale of human civilization such as the state. Alien, not as ...... as humans," Zach pouted, "'Heart'. ”

Nol met Zach, "I know. He sighed, "It's hard for you, I should be one of the few humans in this city who can understand you." ”

Zach nodded. There's no need not to admit it, Zach has come to Promise.

No: "I'm also from the fact that you Grande didn't even enter the gray professional circle at the beginning, and became what I am now. No's face was a smile of exclamation, "You're just for your life, initially probably to support your autistic sister, then Grande, then the West Enders, and then all the mess that came to you." Noh met Zach, "I know. He sighed, "It's hard for you, I should be one of the few humans in this city who can understand you." ”

Zach nodded. There's no need not to admit it, Zach has come to Promise.

No: "I'm also from the fact that you Grande didn't even enter the gray professional circle at the beginning, and became what I am now. No's face was a smile of exclamation, "You're just for your life, initially probably to support your autistic sister, then Grande, then the West Enders, and then all the mess that came to you." ”

Zach was still nodding, "yes, I'm just living for myself, and then I'm representing Grande, representing the West Enders, representing Barton, representing the Devil's Feast, representing a bunch of people I don't want to care about." All of what I did for myself was inexplicably put into the interests of the collective. Hum. Zach shook his head again, "I want to be a selfish person, I want to live for myself, and I don't have to stand for those inexplicable things." ”

Out of the Southeast.
