Death is the only certainty, it can be either a tragic ending or a painful relief.
Whether Vedder was the murderer of the Progressives or not is no longer important to him as a dead person.
This is the result that the Anti-Suppression Department wants, and it is the result that William wants. Elold's attitude has been expressed quite clearly.
But Victor always felt sad.
Maybe, there is a better way to solve these things, but what's the use? Oranges are not the only fruit, just like there is no only answer in the world.
Wade's body was carried out on a stretcher carried by two agents. His body, which was nearly half the size of an average adult man, looked very awkward under the white cloth.
As they walked by, Victor heard a soft sound, and something fell off the stretcher and landed right at Victor's feet.
He looked down and saw that it was a simple and cheap pendant.
Reaching out to pick it up, Victor opened the pendant and found a rusty sewing needle sandwiched in half.
He seemed to have some realization, opened his mouth, and hummed an unpleasant children's song.
"A box of biscuits and one candy. You give me one and I'll give you one. The biscuits are missing a corner, but the sweetness of the candies is still there..."
"What are you singing?" Henry thought Victor was going crazy again.
Victor smiled bitterly: "Love is the only thing we can take with us when we die. It can make death easy."
…
Later, Victor went to the Anti-Suppression Department to see William, and Elold happened to be in his office.
When the two met, the atmosphere in the entire office immediately became weird.
"I have heard, Mr. No. 99, it seems that you did not accept my suggestion to cooperate with Agent No. 13. I am not just blaming you, Agent No. 13 is the same. If you can trust each other a little bit, go up
Sullivan won’t be able to escape again.”
William used a calm tone to teach the two of them.
Elold had a displeased look on his face, but Victor replied nonchalantly: "Cooperation is not one-way, right No. 13."
Elold ignored him, and Victor continued: "The situation was urgent before. That guy Vader was already preparing to escape from the city. I didn't have time to notify the Inspection Bureau, so I had to catch up first."
Elold then spoke: "I inquired about the dwarf from the servant of Jose's family and saw his photo, so no matter whether No. 99 intervenes or not, the criminal will not escape my grasp."
Victor thought of the flying knife, and then sneered: "I can only say that Agent No. 13 is better at calculating opportunities than I am, and he killed Vader just when he was about to tell me the key clue."
His words surprised William who was sitting behind the table. William blew out a puff of smoke and asked: "What clue?"
Victor glanced at Elold and said, "He told me two things. The first is that the sexless secret transmission is converted into the sexual secret transmission through the deviation ceremony of the connecting path."
Elold frowned when he heard this, but William didn't show much surprise, obviously he had known it for a long time.
Victor was not surprised by the reaction of the two people. He continued: "The second reason is that Vader's reason for killing was not only revenge, but also because Bilbo took something that originally belonged to the 'Ring'. Then
The thing is very important, and Wade wants to get it back."
William shook out the cigarette ashes: "What?"
"He said it was called 'original blood'."
"Um?"
"Yes, you heard it right. He would have explained to me what the original blood was before he died, but Agent No. 13's flying knife happened to come in from the outside, and then our suspect shut up..." Victor
With a faint smile, his eyes shifted from William to Elold.
The latter glanced at him coldly and did not speak to refute.
William snorted, as if he knew something.
"Original blood..."
"Mr. Minister, do you have any idea?"
"Hmm..." William hummed again, put down the unfinished cigar, crossed his legs and pinched his chin, "Do you still remember the bat-winged demon that attacked you before?"
"Of course!" How could Victor forget the incident that dragged him into investigating Dilio, "The conclusion is that I have no clues, and I still don't know who wants my life and that of my employee."
William's eyes gradually became serious, and he said: "Then do you remember...how did you describe the bat-winged demon?"
"The head looks like a corolla, has wings and can fly, the fingers are very long, and the body looks very thin?"
"This is a description of the appearance. You used a very simple word to describe it, that is vampire..."
Hearing this, Victor remembered.
But is there any connection here?
"The bat-winged demons can be regarded as vampires, but the general term vampire is not only used to describe them."
William began to conduct popular science for his two investigators.
"Since the cold weapon period of the old era, humans have many records of non-human species. Rumor has it that there are several kinds of monsters that have been called vampires in history."
"Certain types of vampires are very indistinguishable from humans. Their thirst for blood is far less intense than that of other monsters. It is equivalent to humans' dependence on alcohol or tobacco, and they are intoxicated by the taste of intoxication... Such a group
It's hard to detect among humans."
"Some modern biological researchers believe that inferior blood demons such as bat-winged demons are actually created using the blood of that group."
"Oh, by the way, they don't call themselves 'vampires', they call themselves 'higher vampires'."
Elold sneered at this time, and Victor on the side was bolder than him and sarcastically said: "Is it possible that if I change my name, I won't be a vampire?"
"At least they don't think they are..."
William picked up the cigar again and started smoking it.
"A university in the Western Continent once welcomed a special honorary professor. He had a research project, which was to study the types of 'vampires'."
"At that time, many people couldn't tell the difference between 'higher vampires' and inferior blood demons such as bat-winged demons and vampire banshees."
"The old professor had an assistant who suggested classifying the high-level blood demons separately because the assistant felt that the high-level blood demons were several levels higher than the inferior blood demons and were not the same species."
"The professor didn't listen to his deputy's suggestions at first and lumped them all together."
"Until one day, the deputy who couldn't stand the old professor's views went to the suburbs at night, killed a bat-winged demon that had been hidden for nearly a hundred years, brought it back, pointed to its body and said to the old professor: You
See how we are similar?"
Victor was stunned for a moment, feeling as if he had heard a bad joke.
"Wonderfully written..."
The corner of William's mouth rose: "This is indeed a story that is not true or false, but the world is as absurd as a drama, no, sometimes it is even more absurd than a drama. What if I told you that the 'higher blood descendants' might be the 'demigods'
?”
Demigods?!
This information from William was a bit surprising.
The last time Victor heard about the Demigods, he heard from Amanda when he went to the database with her.
The demi-gods Amanda mentioned are "elves".
And now, William said that vampires are also sub-gods...
Is it possible that the Demigods are just a general term, and that all the advanced races that lived in the Mythical Era and ruled the world are Demigods?
That wasn't the only information that surprised Victor. Next, William expanded his knowledge again.
"It is said that the original blood is the totem that the high-level blood descendants believe in. It is probably the same existence as the five major gods."
