Vol 10 Chapter 2: time and place

"30."
After silently accepting several cycles of fate, Zac suddenly spoke.
The first person to give a response must be the weakest one here, James, "No need to report! I know the time!"
Zac glanced at James. "I'm not counting you." Sorry look gave Louise.
Louise just pursed her lips and didn't speak.
Ask questions to the less clever one, Benjamin. This clearly expresses Alpha who does not like our vampire attitude in a very naive way, "31, 32, 33, 44, 45 ..." He is disturbing Zac's count.
Zac would be funny if he had such a boring trick at the meeting. Simply, "Do you still want your client to come back, if you wish, shut up."-
Murphy, not here. After she left suddenly at the beginning of the 26th cycle, she never appeared again.
Can you understand what Zac is doing now. He is recording the time when Murphy left, keeping Murphy still reappearing in ... the last glimmer of hope in any world.
We already knew why Murphy left the scope of soul explosion, and explored this world of 'simulation'. But we do n’t have to think about going forward so much, to worry about what Murphy wants to explore:
Zac reminded Benjamin, did n’t he? At least after Murphy was able to return, he verified that at the end of one cycle, he left the range of time reset and then hurried back, can normally enter the next reset, and still hold Walter's chance of salvation. After having such a factual basis that must be a good ending in the end, let's consider the following things.
But Murphy didn't come back. The ghost knew where she was first, so it proved to be feeding the dog. Zac's count is at least tracking Murphy in that time. And these people are really trapped here-anyone who wants to follow Murphy's footsteps is free.
Benjamin glanced at Zach. "I didn't ask you to help me with my commission. I won't pay you."
"I didn't do the commission for you. I'm doing the work of my vampire at the Feast." Zac didn't bother to look at Benjamin and continued to pass Louise's sorry look.
Imagine a situation where your girlfriend asks you, when your wife is in an unknown danger, can you help?
This is Zac's situation and answer. Although Zac wisely dumped the pot to the magic feast-the magic feast wants to obtain information from the Assamite clan, right, no matter whether it is ultimately hostile or other, information, no one will want it.
Louise has proved to us many times that her wit doesn't lose Zac at all, and often runs in front of Zac ... so, Zac's little bit was exposed long ago.
Louise pursed her lips again, "Murphy, what kind of person is he?"-The meaning of this question is to distinguish Zac from Murphy's last chance to be rescued for Murphy, because Murphy · Assamette, or Murphy Moriarty.
Zac didn't speak, and James took the lead. It's an irritable slanting exposing Louise, "She has lived in Grande for a few days, and you are still asking what kind of person she is!"
Louise pressed James directly onto the table—everybody's patience was worn away. Then he looked at Zac, looking for an answer.
Zac knew that he could not escape the disaster, and said: "Naive, rotten, dreamer, and gentle woman."
Murphy? Which point of Murphy do we see meet the above qualities?
Louise continued to ask, "That's the Murphy you married, and then, the Murphy you want to strangle, what does it look like."
"Emotional, stubborn, impermanence, unreasonable, dangerous woman."
Do not! This is not the Murphy we saw.
"Murphy now." Louise's third question.
"Assamat." Zack's answer was simple and simple.
Louise nodded. She can accept this answer, which means that Zack knows what she is doing. Louise let go of James and ignored it, "I have a guess that Murphy didn't come back on purpose."
Now that Louise has given the beginning of a rational discussion, Zac took it, "What guess?"
"As long as some of us continue to count time here, the chance of being saved back to the real world by Walter can be maintained." Louise glanced at Benjamin. "I guess Murphy had no plans to come back." In Benjamin As he was about to take Zac, Louise glared at Benjamin, as if for the first time, it was shocking enough to keep Benjamin's arms quiet.
Zach frowned, "She really emphasized the number of cycles for the last time before leaving."
"If Assamette is so proficient in the logic of rational logic, we cannot ignore this possibility. Every time we cycle here, she is outside, freely exploring the secrets in Button."
Benjamin had movements, but was pulled by Zac in time, it was speechless, "You are now useless to find her, our time has been staggered, you will only let yourself enter another timeline." Zac is really afraid of Benjamin I do n’t understand,
Louise said it ’s just possible. Another possibility is that Murphy wanted to come back, but could n’t come back.

"Perfect!" James, the weakest, doesn't mean to belittle. After all, it is normal for humans to bear less than these old monsters. "So no matter what, our situation has not changed! We are still stuck here! And every second that we ca n’t do anything here, we do n’t know what the Murphy is doing!

'Good people' are stagnant, but 'bad people' are moving forward. It doesn't matter if this kind of comparison is inaccurate, anyway, James means that.
"Actually ..." Zach raised an eyebrow suddenly, "We know ..."
Louise reacted first, "What did you think of?"
Zac took all the papers on their table and put them together, "The self-detonation on the bus, the incomplete world where Papa and I were at midnight ..."
Pink mist, scattered pieces of radiation ...
"31." Zac reported the number. Habits become natural and there is nothing to say.
Repeat the action before the time was reset, and pick up the pen and draw a map of Button on the spliced ​​paper-an owl holding a mouse tail. Then cut it with a line on Barton's map, and at the same time, explained, "I suddenly remembered what Papa said at midnight."
"Papa at midnight?" Louise frowned, and at any time, it was no good to mention the Yin Anshen.
"He said." Zach slowed down. "The soul determines the size of the world." Then he showed the results of his painting, that incomplete world.
No one understood what Zac was talking about.
Zac waved his hand, "It's my fault, I told you that Papa and I explored in that incomplete world at midnight. Let's focus only on what happened in the world that is not real, without realizing it So obvious ... "
Louise got rid of it, and was instantly excited, holding down the incomplete world painted by Zach, "It's not an incomplete world! It's only that big world!"
"Yes!" Zac began to recall how many people were in that bus! "The soul determines how big the world is, and at that time the soul of the car exploded ..." Zac wrote the next number in the gap of the paper. Don't doubt the accuracy, we all know how many times Zac has cycled in that weird time, Zac can't remember it wrong!
Then there is simple division.
Zac glanced back, letting them fall to this point, the self-explosive who didn't know how long he had dumped the pen. Then, a circle was spoken around the city square on the map of Barton, "This is the size of the world we are in now."
Next, James responded, pointing to the outside of the border drawn by Zach, "The North District Police Station is not in range! So Murphy cannot explore things in the police station!"
Louise gave James a white eye directly, "Are you serious, what can Murphy get at the police station? How many pending cases have Barton had not resolved, eh." Louise pointed to a point in the circle, " The city government is in range! "
This is inevitable, they are in the square outside the city government, too close.
Zack ignored James, who was ugly. The only one who could help himself was Louise. "A small part of Liszt's area." His hand was to the northwest of the circle, and then he moved west. "A little Paisin District. "Move north," A Becky Street. "
Louise looked at Zac. "The only thing worth exploring is the city government!"
Zac nodded, "What's in the city government." This is a self-ask question to help thinking, "It's worth Assamat to get."
"Anthony knows everything." Benjamin said suddenly, quite abruptly.
"Well?" Zac looked at Benjamin.
"I said, Anthony knew everything about Button."
Zac is not going to take it seriously. This statement does not help the status quo, so the answer is "He is the mayor, of course he knows everything."
"I'm not talking about such a general thing." Benjamin actually reached out and took Zac's sight back to himself. "When the ancestral office officially opened, Anthony sent someone to let me report every interracial commission. . I agreed. "
James was actually the one who gave the opinion first, "Why does the mayor need to know the alien commission?"
"Don't ask me, Anthony is a friend. He wanted to know and asked kindly, so I agreed." Benjamin's answer was simple.
Several people stayed quiet for a while, Zac shook his head and adjusted his thoughts, "So the city government has a record of the daily annoyance of Barton's aliens." It wasn't Zac's intention to say so ... harmless, but serious East West Zac doesn't want to say that in the world built by the self-detonation on the bus, we all know that Papa has kidnapped Anthony because it will not affect the real world at midnight, leading to the end of the world.
If you know the daily troubles of Barton's aliens, it is one of the reasons why this mayor of Barton, Anthony, has become a key point in this world, and Zack doesn't know what to do now.
"Think about the worst." Zac glanced at Benjamin and looked away. "Murphy can get detailed information about the Baton aliens based on how popular the ancestors' affairs are."
Benjamin murmured at the wrong time. "Very popular. You should think about the worst."
"Okay!" Zac had to look at Benjamin again silently, "Murphy can get all the information of all the aliens in Button. Satisfied?"
Benjamin shrugged.
"Do you know what is the meaning of the information of all the people of Barton?" James still, although the tone continued the excitement and impatience of his weakest position here, he had to admit that when the topic entered Mayor Anthony James's apparent concentration changed.
Oh, role model. Everyone understands.
It was Louise who answered James. The beauty of it is that she looked at Zac ’s answer, "I ..." the unsure speed slowed down, "I can only think of one thing related to all the interracial, Barton." Any thoughts, " The child in Tsuisha's belly. "
Zac, lowered his head.
To be honest, the logic that can advance thinking at this time is very fragile. Zac they are using Murphy to explore in this limited world, to advance what Murphy is waiting for in Barton!
The limited world means that the possibilities that Murphy can explore are limited, which means that the conclusions that Zac can get at this time may also be very different from the facts.
For example, in the current situation, Papa ’s "Son of Patton" made at midnight can have a bird relationship with the Asamat clan hidden in the middle!
But the question is coming, in addition to speculating on this limited possibility, what can Zack do here?
...
"32." Zac reported again. Then the report this time, "I have a bold idea."
"Don't listen." Don't worry, this is what Louise said, and Louise understands Zac, so the follow-up to this statement is, "Too busy, not available."
It is impossible to laugh at this obviously atmosphere that is used to adjust. No one here wants to laugh. But twitching the corner of the mouth twice means that it is enough to receive this self-regulating attitude.
"We won't save Murphy first." Zac said his bold thoughts, "We keep track of where she is and when she is. So when we want to save her, we can save her."
"Meaning?" Benjamin asked.
"Exploration." Zac glanced at Benjamin. "It's actually an interrogation technique. Keep the prisoner in a place that isolates the outside world, and then observe the outside reaction to judge the correct intelligence. In our case, Murphy is closed, Then observe the movement of Assamite in the middle. "
James ’s face, slightly wrinkled, said—
This is a good way. Fortunately, Murphy was not locked up by us, but by herself. We did not force her or anyone, so Assamite in the middle Can't blame us. Then once things get worse, we can save her back when things didn't happen. "
Louise glanced at James suspiciously. "Is this technique true? Or are you just, uh, too familiar with us."
Control the direction of the incident, right?
James pouted and did not answer.
"So, that's it?" Zac looked at Benjamin. "This world is absolutely safe for your client."
"What if she starved to death?" Benjamin frowned.
"She won't." Zack shrugged. "We know the time and place. We can deliver food to her regularly. Real food." Take a look at James. "But of course, she is our prisoner after all, and the diet will not How good it is. "
"As long as she is absolutely safe, I have no opinion." Benjamin is also true, yes, his job is only to ensure Murphy's safety.
"Okay." Zack nodded. "Now, we just have to wait for Walter ..."
" !!!" The curse of the leaking wind appeared among a bunch of ballot-senders, and Walter ran to it, "Every time! Every time! You run around! Enter the world where ghosts know what time! Today! Do n’t run around !!! Do you know how much time I ’ve been looking for? !!!

"Sorry?" Zach raised an eyebrow, as well as the question, "Do you know you are saving us?" Zach can't remember who told them they would come to vote. Is it Alice?
"!" Walter pointed a finger over his head, "Monitoring !!!"
"Oh." Zac looked up and blinked, looking at the black lens above his head. There is a small, inverted Zack ~
"Come on, grab me! He's about to burst !!"
