26 Experimentation and concealment
"Give me the phone number where Rut Lesenbra can definitely be reached. Zach said to Nick in the earpiece. and prepared a large piece of 'truth' to smash out when Nick refused slightly.
"Home, xx ......" Nick in the receiver reported a string of numbers, "Office private phone, xx ......" reported a string of numbers, and "Lover's home, xx ......" reported a string of numbers.
Zach was stunned for a second, "Say it again, I'll take the note." β
Nick is super cooperative, repeat.
When Zach wrote down all three phone calls, "Uh, that's what you told me?" was too simple.
"You don't want me to tell you?"
"Uh, no. Thank you. Zach was ready to hang up.
"You shouldn't lose the identity rotation arrangement that the Demon Feast has given you. β
"What?" Zach brought the earpiece back to his ear.
"You heard what I said. Nick's tone was calm, "We have a good system in place, status change. You shouldn't just throw it away, twice. "Yes, Zach lost it twice.
Judging by Nick's words, it seems that he already knows why Zach is looking for Root. It's not difficult to know, Kate only took with her when she left, and she only took with her what could be used as evidence of how uncooperative Grande's master was - the broken voice recorder, and not the copy of the Vega Daily. Vega, Daily.
Zach thought about his wording for a moment, "Now the report on the funeral industry in your newspaper belongs to what you just said, 'good system'?"
"It doesn't belong. You threw the good system away, twice. "Nick seems to like to emphasize that number.
Zach suddenly 'realized', "Did you help me find the Root theory?"
There was a sudden silence on the other side of the earpiece, the absolute quiet kind, which lasted for a few seconds, "Does it make sense, I failed." "We can hear the tone in Nick's words, it's disappointment, to himself," Rout just kept emphasizing that you had twice thrown away the identity system of the Demon Feast under my 'supervision'. I'm right next to you, and I'm the only person you can talk to while you're here, mine, under supervision. It's mine. "Can you feel that slight shift," Zach, I'm sorry, I should have told you more clearly, I should have let you know more about the Feast. It's my fault. And I, the patch failed. β
Complicated touching, to be honest, Nick has already let Zach know enough about the magic feast. Zach held the earpiece, "Nick, you don't have to be sorry. It's not your fault, whether you're here or not, I won't accept the death you arranged for me when I enter the Demon Feast for the first time. "Isn't that why the documents sent by Cappadocia twice were thrown directly into the trash? No matter how good Nick says the identity rotation system is, for Zach, it all starts with the death of Zachary Grande.
"Your words have not comforted me. Nick was a bit blunt, "So I deserved to find this, and everyone was around you at the time, right?" Tut. β
"Uh, Nick, don't be so naΓ―ve. Zach thinks his comfort is effective, in a way, "But since you all feel that you are 'hard' reporting on the funeral industry in Vega City now, not 'good,' do you have anything to remind me before I bombard Rut Lesenbra with the phone?"
There was silence on the other side of the earpiece for a moment, "but I asked him why he kept exposing the Grande funeral home." "Expose you." "Count as a specific addition," when. He said that this was an experiment, and that there should have been an experiment that you had co-developed, but because of your 'lack of cooperation', it could only be carried out. β
"Experiments, for?"
"You know how special you are. Nick seemed to be much more relaxed, "You can leave an image, this is an unknown situation that vampires have encountered. β
It's honest - the ability to do the day is not comparable, because the day trip is accompanied by colonial wars across the ocean, and then the independence of the Union State, and everything is unknown. The image, on the other hand, is a singular unknown in a situation where everything is familiar.
A case in point, a painter's usual palette has a color that he has never tried before. How can this single unknown color be integrated into the color style he has become accustomed to? This is the essence of the problem.
Zach frowned, "So Root is going to use me for experiments?" Did he get Zack's consent? Oh no! Zach probably threw Rudson's sincere request for consent in the trash, twice~
"You're the only material for experimentation. "Nick Doe is really.
Did he say what the experiment was expected to turn out of? Zach frowned, "Good or bad." β
"Well, vampires can be freer in human society, especially the lower middle class. You don't know how many personnel changes we've made in the past two years because of the surveillance system brought about by technology......"
Zach pouted, not to mention the surveillance system, the most down-to-earth, Zach took care of his hair for four centuries, why?
"The change for the vampire upper class will also be huge. Our mayor never appears in the media, and is a shapeshifter stand-in when he has to. Do you know why Rout is the mayor of Vega, because one-third of Vega's population is not a permanent resident, and no one really cares what their mayor looks like. "In the entertainment industry, this number is too conservative.
Zach didn't interrupt.
"Bad. The identity rotation system we were using was destroyed. Our human citizens are beginning to recognize their neighbors, bosses, lovers, as 'people' who died years ago. Nick paused for a moment, "The good is in the bad, the bad is in the good." It's a complex experiment, and no one knows how to make the results go in just one direction. β
Zach listened, "And then Root Lesenbra decided that since I rejected the identity rotation information he sent twice, I would simply use all my future 'life' as a bargaining chip and let me explore the good and the bad?"
Nick's mood seemed to be low again, "He said, it's a big deal to let Toledo go to sleep, he's the only Toledo clan who has the ability to do this. "Not very happy words in the earpiece," he said laughing, Zach, he's laughing at you. β
Zach held the earpiece and looked down at the three numbers he had just written down.
Like, there's no point in making these calls, is there? Rut Lesenbra's purpose is already so obvious. He wanted Zack and went to sleep.
Zach respoke, and the last sentence was finished, "Tell Rutt that my relationship with the media at Barton is bad, hehe, let him, work harder~ goodbye." "Put down the phone.
Stupid and naΓ―ve. It's like a person who is being forced to pretend to enjoy his face and say to the abuser, forcefully.
But let's face it, Zach, there's no way to do anything about it, this stupid and childish response is the only thing that can be said.
As soon as she put down the phone, Louise's voice came from the entertainment room, "Zach, come and see this." β
Zach passed, and Miley was too, holding a bowl of snacks and watching the TV with no interest-
It seems to be a 'disaster'. The picture is obviously an outdated night, and the warning lights of the police, first aid, and fire are constantly presented to the audience with red and blue light pollution. It's not bad, from time to time there are heavily armed soldiers, driving away the footage that is trying to be taken.
Miley glanced at Zack who came in, looked at Louise who called Zack with some confusion, and pouted, "What, you have relatives in xx (a city in central China)?" After saying that, Miley laughed there herself.
Zach looked at Miley and said, "Well, this woman doesn't know what's going on."
The sudden shaking of the footage was that the shot was driven away again, but at the same time, Zach suddenly gave the command, "Pause." β
Louise and Miley looked at Zach at the same time, looking at idiots. Louise pursed her lips, "TV is playing, I can't pause." β
Zack's face didn't change in the slightest, and he continued to look at the screen, "Pause" as the screen shook again because of the drive. β
Then, the picture really pauses.
"Thank you. Zach twirled the thimble on his finger, and if it didn't matter at all, "We need to be more acquiescent." β
Then he walked over to the TV, pointed to a blurry face in the corner of the frame, and looked at Miley, "Miss Liszt, look closely, do you know this person?"
Miley didn't even look at it, "I don't know anyone in the middle. β
"You know this. Zach's finger tapped the corner of the screen, "Look." β
Miley rolled her eyes and tilted her head to look at where Zach was pointing. is worthy of being an actor, from impatient to expressionless to thinking to confused to surprised, this process clearly makes people feel like they are watching a mime.
"That's Wes?!That's Wes?!" Miley jumped up from the couch and stood in front of the TV stand, almost hugging the entire screen with the figure in the corner, "Wes!This is Wes!!Why is Wes in the middle?!He's not going west with James......" Miley's head was on Zack, gloomy, "What the hell happened to James?!"
"Keep playing. "Zach gave another 'stupid' order.
The picture on the TV obviously skips a paragraph, and continues a little stiffly. The footage of being driven away happened again. As Miley's eyes widen to find the figure she knew, the scene cuts back to the studio.
The two hosts of Barton's morning show chatted with smiles, "xx (name), what do you think is going on?"
"I don't know, this is the live scene that was broadcast in xx city last night. But I have to give praise to the city of xx, their crowd control is really perfect! xx (name), do you see the armed soldiers in the picture? We have never fought like this in Barton! Right, remember the last time the police organized a self-bombing terrorist raid in the Knoll district? Hehe, how many complaints did we receive from the public?"
"A lot. Smile at the camera, "But if there are also armed soldiers walking on the streets in our city, I bet our citizens will definitely not have any complaints~" winked at the camera and laughed.
"This! it's the truth!" the same wink, laugh, and change the subject...... "Speaking of the soldiers armed in the streets, what do you think of our former military mayor?
"Oh xx ~ you're fishing ~ you've always had my opinion on the election, hehe, but I guess it's the biggest topic of conversation in Barton right now, right?"
"Of course, since Aethra announced that she was withdrawing from the mayoral race, our ......"
Snap, the TV was turned off, Miley stared at Zach, pointing to the TV she turned off, "What's that!"
Zach glanced at Louise and didn't get the hint, "I guess it's a Barton TV show of the Daily Talk ......"
Interrupted, "Those pictures in the middle!What is that?!"
"It's like the host said. Zach shrugged, "We don't know, we can only praise the mass control of someone else's city." β
What does a person do when they don't get the answer to their own question? Miley gave a textbook-style performance. She raised her small fist, "Tell me, or you'll feel my fist in close contact with your face...... Whoop...... Let go of me!!You pervert!!Whoa!!Pain!"Negative textbook.
Zach let go of the little fist and glanced at Louise helplessly, "She did it herself." β
Louise just rolled her eyes.
When Miley made an extremely aggrieved look of his own hand, Zach still replied, "Actually, I don't know what's going on over there." Zach gestured to the blackened screen, "All I know is a few facts that don't help." β
Miley also gave Zach a roll of the eye, "Just tell me James is safe! I still need this man alive!"
Zach tilted his head, "I want James to be safe, too." β
Miley went dark, "Stop talking nonsense!
"Dale, do you remember Dale, one of the employees of Grande? Zach skimmed the screen with black eyes, "The picture just now is obviously a rescue operation, it's a pity, the picture was shot like that, and we viewers can't tell whether the rescue was successful or not." β
Miley stood there for a moment, then walked away.
"What are you going to do?"
"Meet James' girlfriend in advance!" he didn't look back, just told the questioner to answer.
"What does that mean?" Zach followed two steps, watching Miley enter the room she occupied, knowing that the young lady was changing clothes, and didn't follow up.
"She's a journalist! The footage that just aired was from last night, whatever it was, it should have a result now! I went to her and asked. Don't forget to disgust Zack, "You, it's useless!"
"It turned out to be a failure. The previous call was from Wes, and he told me. Louise shouted from the recreation room, then shrugged at Zach as he looked back, "There's no need to hide it from her." β
Also, Zach didn't say anything, and continued to say to Miley, who was still changing clothes in the room, "You heard me, don't go to the reporter." β
Zack waited for a long time before Miley, who had covered herself completely, reappeared, and the thin slit between the hat and the mask was Miley's eyes staring at Zach, "Unlike you, I don't be the kind of person who deliberately withholds important information knowing that someone is waiting for James to come back." "Myself, yes, isn't she going to wait for James to come back in Grande, and then," James was kidnapped, and I think I should tell his girlfriend, that's what humans are supposed to do. β
Oh really? What is a human being supposed to do is something that is meaningless and only causes trouble? Where did this actor learn these 'truths'?
Zach didn't stop it, so why waste energy to stop it? But there's something Zach likes to promoteβ
Miley and Kate didn't meet at Grande, and at this point, they definitely wouldn't be back at Grande: Zach was hiding the bad guy from James' kidnapping, wasn't he?
Then let her be. Go well and don't send it.
