Vol 10 Chapter 17: Murphy

There are still two hours left for people in the Southern District to wash and sleep. In the master bedroom on the second floor of Grande, Murphy sat in front of Louise's dressing table, holding a book in his hand-"Cain of God's Punishment".
"I thought you were the daughter of the upper class. You will know that it's uncultivated to enter someone's room casually." Louise stood in the door, leaning on the door frame, and looking at her dressing table. Woman.
Can I blame Louise for being ironic about Murphy's first sentence after returning to Grande? Louise worked hard to be that generous person, but Murphy, didn't know that it was enough.
Murphy looked up and saw the image of Louise in the mirror. Of course, only Louise, she did not exist, "Yes." She did not close the book in her hand, nor did she mean to leave the master bedroom , Continue to sit there, talking to the image in Louise ’s mirror,
I ’m the daughter of the federal upper class in that era, that ’s why Zachary and I completed the marriage.
Look, I do n’t know if it ’s enough, and further Yes, "but I have no upbringing is definitely not the reason why Zachary wants me to join him and become eternal life. I have been eternally lived for a long time now, far beyond the life of human beings, and upbringing is not the quality I care about." Murphy Withdrawn his gaze, "Irony, it's useless to me."
Louise's cheek twitched-why did Zach ever want Murphy to be a member of eternal life? Just like he made Louise immortal, because of love ~
Louise stared at Murphy's back for a long time and spoke again, "What the do you want."
"Your question is too specific. I can't answer you." Murphy answered quietly, turning the page.
"You and Zac can't be combined." Louise held her arm with a firm tone of voice, "I won't allow this to happen."
"Stupid." Murphy responded, er, so foolishly blinded by feelings. "Murphy looked at Louise in the glasses again." I don't want to be with him. I have made it clear. "
"Why are you here?" Louise frowned. "What do you want to achieve?"
"I don't have to answer this kind of question." Murphy looked away.
"Huh." Louise left the door, just turning around in the corridor. She needs this moment to calm down. Back in place, "Do you still love Zac?"
"No." Super simply.
"Hate him?" Louise looked a little better and continued to ask.
"No." The same simply.
Louise's face was ugly again, "Neither mean? You keep emphasizing your marital relationship, and keep stimulating our emotions, so that we can't talk to you. You don't love, you don't hate, you are in the end What do you want? "
Murphy closed the book. Instead of looking at Louise in the mirror, he turned around on the seat and looked at Louise at the door. "My marriage relationship with Zacary is fact. At the same time, I There is no emotion that stimulates you, I have no emotion, all you feel is your wishful thinking. Your question was wrong at the beginning, I am Assamette, I have no emotion ... "
"How did you become Assamette?" Not Louise, but James.
James had just entered the second floor and inserted the conversation without any permission.
Explain it. James came from Benjamin's warehouse.
Based on the fact that Benjamin was hired, Benjamin returned to Grande, and will live here. So immediately after arriving at Grande, he immediately returned to his original warehouse to organize his living environment.
Zac is helping Benjamin to clean up the warehouse. It's not that Zac wants to help-we all know that the atmosphere between Zac and Benjamin is not right. But Zac didn't want to be close to Murphy, and watching Benjamin making the bed in the warehouse was just the way Zac escaped.
James was also in the warehouse, throwing 100,000 questions to Zac, ‘Who is she? ''wife? What do you mean. ‘‘ There is a hidden alliance in the central part that is not an alien? ’...
Zac ... refused to answer. So James ran over and asked.
Murphy looked at James trotting, "silent human driver." Ah! Sorry, explain. This is Murphy's perception of James' identity-back on Grand Road, it was James's car, and James's wonderful journey remained quiet.
"James Lance." James made a self-introduction, hesitated, but didn't stretch his right hand, but looked at Louise. "I'm a police detective, so, answer my question!" Out of work.
"I'm not breaking the law, I don't need to answer your question." Murphy looked away from James, turned around, and continued to pick up the book he just closed ...
"What's the name on your ID card?" James inexplicably pressed Louise's shoulder and stood in front of Louise, speaking to Murphy who turned around. The tone was interrogated, "I don't Think it ’s Murphy Moriarty, or Murphy Torrido, well, it ’s not Murphy Assamite. Do you want me to investigate, so that you can enter this man of Indian origin? Mayor ’s identity in the city. I ’m sure I ’ll find something special, so I suggest you cooperate with me, answer, questions.

Murphy turned back to James and looked at James without expression. "Human detective, you are threatening me." This is a statement.
"I'm here." James also looked at Murphy, his expression very clear, and looked at him, "What can you do? Eliminate the threat?" After looking at Louise, the words said to Murphy, "She's Zac Descendant, three generations of Toledo, you are ... "
It was supplemented by Louise, "Sixth-generation Assamette." This seems to be the first time that these two people who have met with Zac in the same time have cooperated for the first time after Louise shot and rescued James. , "Even if she had the blood of Twin Seth, she could forcibly cross the ranks to become the fifth-generation Assamette, and it was still suppressed by me."
James nodded and looked back at Murphy. "Then I guess I have nothing to worry about, do I."
Murphy was silent for a while, but only for a short while, "This is the second year that I moved from the Moriarty Estate and returned to my human parents' house." Still calm, "A Assamite, I live forever 'Father', found me and offered me a proposal to join the twin clan. "
Louise interjected, not what she thought, but heard something unreasonable, "Proposal? Are you not forced to be a vampire? Is this a proposal?"
Murphy looked at Louise, "Is this a problem, I said so, isn't it."
Louise ’s white eyes appeared and he glanced at James, and he did n’t want to talk to Murphy directly to explain to James,
Zac said that the reason their marriage became so bad was that Zac proposed immortality to him. She disagreed. Since then, the two of them have been torturing each other. She killed Zac in various ways, and Zac also fought back in various ways. They ... "Louise said with a lip," The marriage was very painful. , Unbearable, then Zac gave up, disappeared, and started a new identity. "
You can see that James ’expression changes as he listens to these words, but he is clear that he is not questioning how Zack counterattacked an ordinary human woman ... James still has some sense of reason, so James Facing Murphy again with an interrogative gesture, "One is your husband, the second generation of Toledo, the other is an unfamiliar Assamette, and the fifth generation of vampires. What has changed has made you agree to be a vampire. "
"Life has changed." Murphy looked at James, still unemotional. "I'm in pain. It's more painful than Zachary beside me. I hid back to my human parents' home because I couldn't bear it anymore. Those voices around me. "
"what sound."
"Friends of the same class, servants, seniors. Various voices." Murphy turned around, looking at the images of James and Louise in the mirror. "The common friend and human friend that Zacary and I once lived in said I ate my husband. I do n’t blame them. After all, I used to put a corpse for Zacary at the banquet. He also used blood to stain my rouge. We are the
madmen
in the eyes of our friends.

Louise and James glanced at each other, and neither commented.
"The servants in the Moriarty manor, they know the truth, they talk about my stupidity behind me, and I refused the chance of eternal life." Since Murphy had no image, she was turned away from James and Louise. What expression we ca n’t know, but according to all Murphy ’s behavior before, it should be calm without a trace of waves,
Then the humans whose social class is higher than me and Zachary, the core of this country, those who have been in us At the banquet, the humans who praised me for being beautiful and envious of Zachary ’s blessings became disgusted after Zachary disappeared. "
James was about to ask, and was pulled by Louise— "Do n’t ask. You know that Zac is doing things for the Alliance in the Secret Alliance, and every identity Zac used to do is to accomplish some purpose of the Secret Alliance. It ’s over, you do n’t have to ask.

Murphy glanced sideways at Louise, "This, you are right." Then turned back, "My life was completely destroyed. The people or things I am familiar with in the marriage with Zacree are all away from me. Or, I want to stay away from them, or I ca n’t stand being human.

"It doesn't explain that you suddenly changed your mind to become a vampire ..." James. But still stopped by Louise.
Louise looked at James. "In fact, it can be explained." He looked at Murphy's back and explained to James. "Part of her knew that her life was completely destroyed because he rejected Zach's proposal. "Lewis frowned, wanting to sigh." The rational part. The other part is just despair. Her life is completely hopeless in that era. This is the emotional part. She ... "Louise still shook her head. Now, "is the eligibility criterion for the twin clan, sinking between love and reason, she does not know how to continue to live."
James frowned after listening to it, and after a moment of silence, he actually said something ‘surprise’,
You will not sympathize with her,
said Louise.
Louise gave James a white eye, "If I want to choose an emotion to face her, I'd rather choose this sympathy, eh." Then he waved his hand.
James also pouted and looked back at Murphy, "So you gave up your life and gave yourself to the blood of the twin clan to choose a way of life for you."
Murphy turned back to his body and looked at James and Louise. "Yes. I've finished answering. Do you have any other questions, Detective Lance."
"Zac attended your funeral. Who is that old woman?" Louise asked. James glanced at Louise and shook his head silently-this was not really what the detective cared about.
"Avatar." Murphy replied. "In human society, she is me."
"Available?" Louise pressed James, who was about to interrupt. "You mean the old woman that Zack saw, instead of you through Murphy Moriati's life?"
Murphy nodded.
James was about to forego Louise's obstruction and forced to ask what was really important ...
Louise covered James's mouth and glared by the way, continuing to look at Murphy, "Is this a substitute, is she like you?"
"7 points." Murphy replied, also looking at Louise.
The atmosphere of this interview ... is a little difficult to describe.
"Who gave you this avatar?" Louise continued to ask, "Don't say it's yourself, you just told us that the social status that you and Zac were running together was destroyed after Zac left, you alone The 'widows' of that era had no such resources and abilities. "The hand covering James' mouth could be put down." Is the twin clan looking for you? "
Murphy was silent for a while, "Yes."
"So this is a system. The system inherited by the descendants of the twin clan is the same as the system of secret, magic feast, and rotation of the vampire identity, with detailed system regulations and supporting resources." Louise gave a summary.
For the first time, Murphy had an expression, which was crowded, and this was also the first time she did not directly respond to all questions to her-"You are very smart."
"Thank you." Louise became expressionless, regardless of James, who had widened her eyes. "And this system must be independent of the secret alliance, and the vampire is integrated into human life. Because if not The information you gave deliberately before-Assamat is not an alien vampire, everyone thinks you are an alien vampire. "
Murphy said nothing.
Na Louise continued, "So this system is still in operation. It is no longer serving to hide the identity of the descendants of the twin clan, but has become a system for the twin clan, only to hide the identity of Assamette."
Murphy stood up and looked at Louise, "I believe my bodyguard has packed my house."
"You don't really think you can be partial ..." James was pressed back by Louise again--
"Let her go." Louise looked at Murphy. "She's just Assamette, hum, ordinary people. She's not smart except for that pretty face-she refused to be Toledo, isn't she? It ’s just that the emotions are ruled out and it ’s a little more focused than others. It ’s only a matter of time before we can figure out her details.

"Irony." Murphy glanced at Louise when he went out. "It's useless to me."
"I know ~" Louise smiled, "but it works for me ~ I say it, I'm cool ~" and, "Oh ~ you don't know what this coolness is, you are Assamette, what a pity ~ "
