Hellsalem's Lot (noun)
**[00:07] ---**
Formerly New York (NY). Three years ago, in the
**[00:08] ---**
unprecedented disaster known as the
**[00:08] ---**
Let's go on to our next song.
**[00:10] ---**
'Collapse of New York,' a large hole opened up
**[00:11] ---**
in the city's center
that connected to another realm
**[00:11] ---**
This hit number, released in 1967,
**[00:13] ---**
known as the 'alterworld.' The world's attention
**[00:13] ---**
is an eternal standard,
**[00:15] ---**
has been focused on HL as a hyper-abnormal city,
**[00:15] ---**
covered in the age of the alterworld
**[00:18] ---**
mixing the alterworld and this world.
**[00:18] ---**
by Zalmud Le Zamwell.
**[00:21] ---**
When you happen to take
a moment from your daily lives,
**[00:23] ---**
and take in the view depicted by
this song through compound eyes,
**[00:27] ---**
you can't help but wish
that the whole world were
**[00:30] ---**
wrapped up in air as
refreshing as it is, can you?
**[00:35] ---**
Here at midday, please pause
for just a moment, and listen to...
**[00:39] ---**
"What a Wonderful Beyond."
**[00:43] ---**
It's been nearly a month
since I came to the city.
**[00:48] ---**
My name is Leonardo Watch.
**[00:52] ---**
I'm a regular guy who,
**[00:54] ---**
by random chance, became a minor
member of a certain organization.
**[01:02] ---**
The organization's name is "Libra."
**[01:04] ---**
It's a secret society that watches over
the balance of worlds here in this city,
**[01:08] ---**
which is teeming with monsters,
beasts, and many other things.
**[01:15] ---**
However, the whole picture with
them is, like the city, shrouded in fog.
**[01:20] ---**
I wonder just how many people there are
**[01:22] ---**
carrying on what kind of
battles out there every day.
**[01:26] ---**
Will the day ever come when I find out?
**[01:35] ---**
Today's the day I've got you, Chief!
**[01:46] ---**
Good morning, Leonardo.
**[01:49] ---**
This man always tries to take me
down whenever there's an opening.
**[01:54] ---**
But he's sincerely trying to
kill me, so it can create problems.
**[01:59] ---**
Goddamn it!
**[02:15] ---**
I don't get this at *all*.
**[02:18] ---**
Hellsalem's Lot--a city where this
world and the alterworld intersect.
**[02:23] ---**
This is the record of
the clandestine activities
**[02:26] ---**
of the secret society of supermen,
Libra, which works in the shadows
**[02:30] ---**
to preserve the balance of worlds.
**[02:33] ---**
*Upon opening the door,
I found a twisted noontime evening*
**[02:37] ---**
*How did I get home yesterday?
My body's the only thing I'm sure of*
**[02:42] ---**
*Good morning; I'll carry on
with being lost once more*
**[02:46] ---**
*among the unknown sights
that have become so familiar*
**[03:00] ---**
*After I figured all was lost,
I've been getting by somehow,*
**[03:04] ---**
*somewhat embarrassed to
be tough enough to still be alive*
**[03:09] ---**
*I know what I have to do, even if I forget*
**[03:13] ---**
*Otherwise, things become so agonizing*
**[03:18] ---**
*I look up to see someone with big black eyes*
**[03:23] ---**
*It's because I saw you
that this light came to be*
**[03:27] ---**
*Surrounded by a world
painted in colors of my choosing,*
**[03:32] ---**
*where do I find meaning in
the scars I could not choose?*
**[03:36] ---**
*In the heart of a world
where only I am the hero,*
**[03:41] ---**
*I'm onstage, appearing
in every scene until the end*
**[03:45] ---**
*What do I do? I can't
even pretend to be empty*
**[03:50] ---**
*Hello, hi there, here I am*
**[03:55] ---**
Blood Blockade Battlefront
**[04:04] ---**
"The All-seeing Eyes of the Gods."
**[04:06] ---**
It's said that whoever possesses
these eyes can gaze into the past,
**[04:10] ---**
and even peer into the future.
**[04:13] ---**
They are largely a mystery,
**[04:15] ---**
but they are a prime artifact,
even throughout the alterworld.
**[04:19] ---**
There are many characters who will
try to get them, no matter what it takes.
**[04:24] ---**
Especially once it gets out
that he's a member of Libra.
**[04:31] ---**
I just hope this doesn't end poorly.
**[04:40] ---**
I guess I can't take that road today, huh?
**[04:42] ---**
After the Phantom Ghost Wagon
**[05:04] ---**
Don't cry, Michella.
**[05:21] ---**
Yeah?
**[05:22] ---**
Thank you for your order!
It's Dogimo's Pizza!
**[05:26] ---**
Okay.
**[05:42] ---**
Hi, there!
**[05:47] ---**
Give it back!
**[05:48] ---**
Ah, this is good! The rest aside,
Dogimo's cheese is first-rate.
**[05:53] ---**
Please give it back!
**[05:56] ---**
If you're not going to pay for it, give it back!
**[06:00] ---**
My, what's the matter with that boy?
**[06:03] ---**
Is he a trespasser?
**[06:38] ---**
I've had it! Why are you
always there wherever I go?!
**[06:41] ---**
Because you always come
to wherever I am, pube-head.
**[06:45] ---**
Wait, by any chance, are you
a stalker? Maybe I should kill you.
**[06:49] ---**
Oh...
**[06:51] ---**
Score!
**[06:52] ---**
Are you sure you should be
using your deadly skills for *that*?
**[06:56] ---**
You idiot. You know, a samurai will
use his sword to cut a daikon radish
**[07:00] ---**
if he doesn't have a knife.
**[07:02] ---**
I saw it on Yo! Tube.
**[07:10] ---**
Is your ability to manipulate your
blood the same as Mr. Klaus's?
**[07:15] ---**
More or less.
**[07:18] ---**
But the effects differ,
depending on the style used.
**[07:20] ---**
The chief's is particularly nasty.
**[07:23] ---**
To some folks, it's their worst nightmare.
**[07:26] ---**
Oh, yeah?
**[07:34] ---**
Ow, man! Watch it, you idiot!
**[07:38] ---**
Mr. Zapp...
**[07:39] ---**
Huh?
**[07:40] ---**
What is that?
**[07:41] ---**
What is it? It's a dry cleaner's truck.
**[07:45] ---**
You don't say. That's what it looks like?
**[07:54] ---**
You don't mean you're...
**[07:55] ---**
Yes, I am. That is correct.
**[08:05] ---**
I can see something completely different.
**[08:13] ---**
Hey!
**[08:14] ---**
We're getting out of here. Our eyes met.
**[08:17] ---**
For all I can tell, you're totally neurotic.
**[08:21] ---**
So frustrating...
**[08:27] ---**
What is it? Ready to die, silver monkey?
**[08:30] ---**
I'm not dying, she-bitch.
**[08:32] ---**
There's a two-ton dry cleaner's
truck on Gilda Street. Track it.
**[08:36] ---**
Yeah, Leo says he can see something else.
**[08:40] ---**
Probably someone sneaking something
under the cloak of high-level illusionry.
**[08:46] ---**
No, it ain't that.
**[08:48] ---**
At least, I don't think it's a mental disorder.
**[08:51] ---**
Hey, cut that out!
He's sitting right in front of me!
**[09:08] ---**
Mr. Zapp!
**[09:11] ---**
Apparently, you're the
only one who can see me, kid.
**[09:17] ---**
Hey, Shiboroba,
someone saw through your illusion.
**[09:21] ---**
We can't take even the outside chance
**[09:24] ---**
that word of our precious
stock-in-trade gets out, can we?
**[09:34] ---**
Copy that. We study him without killing him.
**[09:49] ---**
Hey, what's the matter? Are you all right?!
**[09:52] ---**
It's up to you now, dog lady.
**[09:54] ---**
I did what I could, but there's
no guarantee it will work.
**[09:58] ---**
We're counting on your nose now.
**[10:09] ---**
Oh, no!
**[10:12] ---**
I lost sight of it!
**[10:18] ---**
Just how much of you is normal kid, anyway?
**[10:22] ---**
What about you?
What the hell are you up to?!
**[10:27] ---**
Are these people alive?
**[10:30] ---**
These are for eating. They're being
preserved in vacuum packs.
**[10:34] ---**
That can't be! Cannibalism is prohibited
under the Chrysler-Galadona Accord.
**[10:40] ---**
That's why we're going
to all this trouble, you idiot.
**[10:46] ---**
What's going on here? No fighting, now.
**[10:51] ---**
There's no way you'll get--
**[10:53] ---**
We'll get away with this? Why not?
**[10:56] ---**
You are the only one in this whole
city who saw through my illusion.
**[11:02] ---**
And look what happened to you!
**[11:06] ---**
Oh, my! The All-seeing Eyes of the Gods!
**[11:10] ---**
Yeah, acknowledged. Got it. Don't worry.
**[11:14] ---**
It looks like this guy is just too tricky.
**[11:16] ---**
I mean, he's someone who could
as much as alter the whole world.
**[11:19] ---**
Yeah, so, you know... how can I say this?
**[11:24] ---**
Stop crying, Chain!
**[11:25] ---**
Did they change the
vehicle's make along the way?
**[11:31] ---**
It was an illusion that even
fooled the invisible werewolf,
**[11:34] ---**
but Leo's eyes were able
to see through even that.
**[11:39] ---**
Man, this is a real mess.
**[11:44] ---**
For both friend and foe.
**[11:46] ---**
Ah! What an exquisite
work of art! I can't wait!
**[11:51] ---**
I want to hurry and finish our work,
so I can immerse myself in your dissection!
**[12:06] ---**
To the alterworld
**[12:18] ---**
Ugh... Sonic...
**[12:22] ---**
Where are we now?
Where are we passing through?
**[12:28] ---**
The fog is thick.
We've gone in this deep, have we?
**[12:37] ---**
I have to let Mr. Klaus
and the others know quickly.
**[12:48] ---**
How embarrassing--
**[12:50] ---**
relying on them without a second thought.
**[12:55] ---**
It's like nothing at all has changed, has it?
**[13:00] ---**
I have to...
**[13:03] ---**
I have to do something on my own.
**[13:06] ---**
I'm a member of Libra now, after all!
**[13:15] ---**
But what the hell am I supposed to do?!
**[13:18] ---**
I'm just a powerless, regular guy
with good eyes and no killer skills!
**[13:25] ---**
My eyes?!
**[13:27] ---**
Zapp is the only one they brought in.
**[13:29] ---**
I think it's safe to say
that Leo has been abducted.
**[13:33] ---**
Also, I'd like you to hear
something from the attending doctor.
**[13:38] ---**
There's something not
right about this patient.
**[13:40] ---**
It's creeping out the nurses.
Could it just be his constitution?
**[13:45] ---**
Do you know anything about this?
**[13:47] ---**
As soon as we give him a
blood transfusion, it goes away--
**[13:51] ---**
the blood, I mean.
**[13:53] ---**
Way to go, Zapp!
**[14:00] ---**
Whoa! What's going on?!
**[14:02] ---**
A monkey, appearing right before our eyes?!
**[14:08] ---**
Chase them using his blood?
**[14:10] ---**
That's right.
**[14:11] ---**
Zapp is currently extending the
blood from his body like a thread,
**[14:14] ---**
and following the invisible
vehicle from the alterworld with it.
**[14:19] ---**
That's the reason why the blood
that gets transfused is vanishing.
**[14:23] ---**
Frankly, it's a superhuman move.
**[14:25] ---**
I know what he's usually like,
**[14:27] ---**
but to be honest, the guy's a virtuoso.
**[14:30] ---**
But it takes so much focus that
as long as the vehicle is moving,
**[14:35] ---**
he can't do anything else.
**[14:38] ---**
You damn brat!
**[14:40] ---**
What the hell have you done to us?!
**[14:42] ---**
What's with the monkey?!
**[14:47] ---**
However, they will stop at some point.
**[15:10] ---**
Once he gets up and
ignites the thread, you're on.
**[15:14] ---**
Go after him, no matter what it takes.
**[15:16] ---**
We'll track your GPS signal
and take the shortest route to you.
**[15:22] ---**
Enough! You're too big a hassle!
**[15:26] ---**
Piss off; just leave me your eyeballs.
**[15:29] ---**
Get fired up. No matter how
far into the alterworld's heart he is,
**[15:34] ---**
we'll be sure to reach there.
**[15:37] ---**
The terror of getting on Libra's bad side
**[15:39] ---**
is something these guys who stuck
out their tongues and screwed us over
**[15:43] ---**
will experience in spades.
**[15:48] ---**
Say your prayers... you filthy bastard...
**[15:53] ---**
Huh?
**[15:57] ---**
Don't blame me...
if you start blowing chunks!
**[16:09] ---**
Plain eyeballs!
**[16:35] ---**
Don't screw this up,
**[16:36] ---**
dog lady.
**[17:42] ---**
Cram it down his throat, Klaus!
**[17:47] ---**

**[18:17] ---**
We located 19 missing persons,
**[18:20] ---**
and captured three dimwits and
one vehicle in violation of treaty.
**[18:24] ---**
Though they're all in little pieces.
**[18:26] ---**
But, consequently,
we did a fine job, didn't we?
**[18:30] ---**
Most of all, a level of illusionry we
didn't even know about before today
**[18:34] ---**
has been brought to light.
**[18:36] ---**
This is huge.
**[18:38] ---**
Right now, they're
trembling with fear all over.
**[18:41] ---**
Both out here and in there.
**[18:43] ---**
Everything turned out fine. Congratulations!
**[18:46] ---**
My, my, my, my, my,
I mean, congratulations?
**[18:49] ---**
You call this congratulatory?
**[18:52] ---**
Try to hold yourselves back.
**[18:54] ---**
Well done, lad! I'd like to
give you credit for the guts it took
**[18:59] ---**
to try to escape on your own.
**[19:02] ---**
Although, one thing we
can't forget from all of this
**[19:05] ---**
is Zapp's marvelous feat. Did you set
him up beforehand to be his bodyguard?
**[19:10] ---**
Mr. Zapp, no smoking.
**[19:12] ---**
Yeah, yeah...
**[19:14] ---**
No, actually...
**[19:16] ---**
You've gotta be kidding, Chief.
**[19:18] ---**
If you're that worried about him, you can keep
him with you around the clock, can't you?
**[19:21] ---**
My duties do not include babysitting.
**[19:25] ---**
And, in that general fashion,
**[19:28] ---**
he refused me outright.
I'm afraid this is all on me.
**[19:39] ---**
Klaus, you need to get better at
winning others' hearts and minds.
**[19:46] ---**
Did you think Zapp would
give you a straight answer
**[19:49] ---**
when asked in as direct a manner as that?
**[19:53] ---**
Mr. Zapp, no smoking.
**[19:55] ---**
Yeah, yeah...
**[19:57] ---**
So that's it.
**[19:58] ---**
I get it now.
**[20:02] ---**
He did all that for me.
**[20:06] ---**
Thank you very much, Mr. Zapp.
**[20:10] ---**
Thank you very much.
**[20:20] ---**
Yeah, like that's what I'm
going to think, you ass hat!
**[20:32] ---**
We'll observe you for two or
three more days, and then you're out.
**[20:35] ---**
Congratulations.
**[20:37] ---**
Yeah.
**[21:09] ---**
What is this place?
**[21:25] ---**
A cemetery at a hospital?
**[21:31] ---**
That's morbid.
**[21:38] ---**
You're right. That's why
nobody but me comes here.
**[21:45] ---**
But then, don't you think it's
futile to live in fear of death?
**[21:50] ---**
I mean, everyone is going to die sometime,
**[21:52] ---**
so is there any point in pretending
not to see it for the present?
**[21:57] ---**
Or instead...
**[21:59] ---**
I wonder if they think it doesn't concern
them, since they aren't going to die.
**[22:05] ---**
Which way do you think, Leonardo Watch?
**[22:11] ---**
Who...
**[22:13] ---**
are you?
**[22:16] ---**
I'm White!
**[22:19] ---**
I'm a ghost!
**[22:22] ---**
Let's be friends, Leonardo!
**[22:36] ---**
*Accustomed to the supernatural
disaster-like madness,*
**[22:39] ---**
*I mistake my daily life for peace*
**[22:42] ---**
*As this rambling coaster
jolts me back and forth,*
**[22:46] ---**
*what is it that I mustn't lose sight of?*
**[22:50] ---**
*Swallowed up by the concept
of egalitarian fundamentalism,*
**[22:53] ---**
*feels like even my soul is so much et cetera*

*Have to clearly state what
you love and what you hate*
**[23:01] ---**
*or you're not all that different than a dummy*

*Ah, crowds of people
walking the streets at night*
**[23:08] ---**
*some seem to be so happy,
some seem to be so lonely*
**[23:12] ---**
*The contrast jumps around the music staff*
**[23:17] ---**
*creating the song and rhythm*
**[23:19] ---**
*Marmalade and sugar song,
peanuts and bitter step*
**[23:23] ---**
*So sweet and then so acrid,
it makes my head spin*

*Let's head south-southwest
and keep this party going*
**[23:30] ---**
*to make it a night
that will astonish the world*

I am Yahabio, humble courier, at your service.
**[24:11] ---**
Today, I've ended up couriering
the next episode preview.
**[24:14] ---**
I'm sure there are some of you out there
**[24:16] ---**
who are wondering, "Why are we listening
to someone who died during the episode?"
**[24:23] ---**
Don't sweat such petty things. It'll kill you.
**[24:26] ---**
Next time on Blood Blockade Battlefront,
**[24:28] ---**
"A Game Between Two Worlds."
**[24:30] ---**
The upshot is this--
whoever wins is the victor!
**[24:33] ---**
A Game Between Two Worlds
**[24:33] ---**
There's no other way, is there?
**[24:36] ---**
