Chapter 67: The Soul Seeker
A few days later, at a banquet, Zhou Ming saw the woman again. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
This banquet was a welcome banquet held by Count Shengguang in his Dragon Blue Castle, and the welcoming person was naturally Zhou Ming, a new neighbor who had just moved to the 11th region.
The owners of the other 23 small castles also arrived, and they raised their glasses at the banquet, very enthusiastic, and Zhou Ming drank a lot with them.
At the end of the banquet, a woman wearing a purple evening dress, holding a wine glass, standing alone on the edge of the terrace to taste wine, attracted Zhou Ming's attention.
"Isn't she the female painter I saw the other day?"
Seeing her lonely and lonely appearance, I don't know what happened, Zhou Ming moved at his feet, took the wine glass, and walked towards her.
"Hi and good evening. ”
Zhou Ming said hello, raised his head to look at the stars in the night sky, and sighed: "The starry sky is so beautiful tonight." ”
The woman ignored her, and drank her own wine, her face unwavering, and her unfocused eyes staring into the distance, not knowing what she was thinking.
"Hey, I liked that picture you made, I hung it in the castle hall...... Thank you for this gift. ”
Zhou Ming took two more steps closer to her and said to her, "Can you tell me your name......?" Lonesome. ”
"You're not afraid of me?"
The daughter still didn't turn her head, put down the wine glass, and asked in a faint tone.
"Haha~"
Zhou Ming laughed twice, and said with a look of surprise: "You are not a man-eating beast, why should I be afraid of you?"
Saying so, he actually has some hair in his heart, this woman, although she is not a man-eating monster, but her gaze is more terrifying than a pure monster.
The monster is terrible because of its hideous appearance, and the terrible thing about this woman is that she has eyes that seem to penetrate everything.
The eyes are the windows to the soul, and this woman's eyes not only have a window, but also a pair of hands that can climb into someone else's window.
"You're lying to me. ”
The woman shook her head: "You and them, there is no obvious difference. ”
Hearing this, Zhou Ming was silent for a long time.
After thinking for a moment, he spoke:
"That's right, I'm no different from them, I'm the same kind of person as them, but I can understand that you are lonely......"
"Just like your paintings, they are beautiful, dreamy, and full of color, but I can also see the emptiness, grayness, loneliness and loneliness behind those colors......"
"We are all the same, we are all soulless people, and many times, what governs our actions is just an empty shell ......"
"Therefore, I am not afraid of you, for to me you are only one of many passers-by. ”
The woman's body moved, and finally turned her head, her eyes flashed with stars, and she looked at his face and said, "I know, I see from your eyes that you don't belong to this world, and you don't care about anything...... Including your fear of me. ”
Rumble~
In Zhou Ming's mind, there was a rumbling sound, and it was blank.
This......
She can see this?
How evil are her eyes?
Zhou Ming still forced his composure, smiled stiffly on his face, and asked jokingly: "Oh, then do you know where I come from?"
The woman shook her head: "I don't know, it's a world I don't know, a world that is much better than here, so although you are lonely, you are enviable." ”
Zhou Ming didn't dare to ask any more, this woman was really terrifying.
One second, just one second, this woman can really see you through.
Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, the woman sighed, turned her head back, took a sip of wine, and said leisurely: "I'm sorry, I don't want to peek into your heart, I have caused you some trouble, I hope you will forgive me." ”
With that, she turned around and was about to leave.
"Wait a minute!"
Zhou Ming stopped her: "Can you tell me your name, I want to know you." ”
"Blue dream heart, dream of dreams, heart of heart. ”
The woman paused, and an ethereal voice came.
"My name is Zhao Yu!"
Zhou Ming said to her back.
……
After the banquet that day, for a period of time afterward, Zhou Ming created a lot of opportunities to communicate and contact with Lan Mengxin.
For example, knowing that Lan Mengxin was good at painting, he picked up some of his previous comic skills, drew some funny comics, and gave them to her for tasting, Lan Mengxin really became interested, imitated these comics, drew some similar forms of comics, and asked Zhou Ming to comment, in the reply, Zhou Ming naturally said again and again, saying that her comic talent was higher than oil painting.
In addition, as long as he is free, Zhou Ming will let the pilot take him to Longlan Castle in a plane, and then stay in Longlan Castle for half a day, or take Lan Mengxin out and play in various places.
Sometimes he took her to walk in the forest, sometimes to go boating in the lake, sometimes to camp in the meadows, sometimes to talk under the stars.
Of course, the most visited is the white sand beach east of Fort Hope, where the two listen to the sound of the sea and talk about life together.
Under the sunset, sitting on the big reef, Zhou Ming would occasionally take out his guitar and play a few songs for her.
This kind of life, Zhou Ming feels very fulfilling, and he doesn't know what is attracting him to Lan Mengxin, maybe it is because he lacks a person to talk to, or it is possible that he needs a partner.
A soul mate.
Of course, there are also two light bulbs, always following them, monitoring their every move - the two bodyguards who have been following Lan Mengxin in the name of protecting safety.
One day, Zhou Ming, who felt that these two bodyguards were too much of an eyesore, attacked them and took two injections of slave medicine, so that he could get more time alone with Lan Mengxin.
has spent more time alone, and naturally, Zhou Ming has a more thorough understanding of women.
At 93 years old, he is two rounds older than him.
Unmarried, never in love, never made any friends, for so many years, has been alone.
In addition, she is also a "psychic seeker".
Psychic seekers?
What is a Psychic Seeker?
Hearing this term for the first time, Zhou Ming asked very curiously.
It is a special ability to see through the hearts of others, know the secrets of others, and guess the thoughts of others through their eyes...... People who possess this ability are called 'psychic seekers'. Lan Mengxin explained.
Zhou Ming's mouth opened into an O-shape, mental perspective? What kind of special ability is this, is it clearly a special function?
Seeing through what is in the minds of others at a glance is ...... It's just going against the sky!
No wonder at first, he thought this woman was so evil and terrible.
"Are there many people with this ability?, are you the only one?" Zhou Ming asked.
Lan Mengxin shook his head: "More than that, there should be a lot, many gamers with superb gaming skills have the ability of mental perspective, and this ability is strong and weak, divided into congenital and acquired, generally speaking, the number of congenital psychic see-through is much less than that of the day after tomorrow, but in terms of ability, congenital psychic see-through is generally much more powerful." ”
"I'm an innate seeker of the mind. ”
Lan Meng said in his heart.
After listening to these explanations, Zhou Ming suddenly realized.
No wonder, every time he looked at Lan Mengxin, he had a feeling of hair all over his body and a feeling of weakness in his heart.
Innate Psychic Perspective, listening to the name, I feel that it is awesome enough, innate integration of advanced mind reading, hypnosis, mental coercion, and has the ability to break through the shackles of the mind in an instant...... How can such a character not be terrifying?
If this ability is applied to the most popular casino games in the upper area, it can almost win all battles and be invincible in the world.
"If you have such great abilities, why did your father imprison you and not let you stay away from the castle?" Zhou Ming asked again.
This is one of the two questions he is most puzzled about, and the other is: why Lan Mengxin does not follow her father's surname Long, but takes the surname Lan.
This question made Lan Meng's heart darken, and he fell into a burst of memories, with a trace of pain on his face.
After a long time, she slowly spoke: "He is afraid that I will get out of control and kill him in the future." ”
"You are his daughter, how could you kill him?" Zhou Ming was surprised, his own daughter was suspicious, this is too suspicious, right?
"No, I thought about killing him, and more than once!" Lan Mengxin's face flashed with a trace of bitter hatred.
That beast, the beast that killed his mother, I will never forgive him!
"Why, he's your father, why would you want to kill him?"
Could it be that you have been under house arrest for too long and have too much resentment in your heart?
Or is it something else?
Maybe there is something that can't be said? Lan Mengxin didn't tell him the answer, and the hatred in her eyes made Zhou Ming understand that things were not as simple as he imagined.
Since your father did this to you, why didn't you run away?
If you want to be free, I can help you, those two bodyguards, in fact, are not difficult to deal with.
Zhou Ming wanted to help this woman and help her get out of that cage.
"No need, you can't help me, my body is implanted with a chip that can not only send a positioning signal, but also explode at any time and take my life...... I can't escape the palm of his hand. ”
This surprised Zhou Ming, there is such a ruthless and vicious father, this is your biological daughter!
"Zhao Yu, I have been very happy with you during this time, this is also the happiest time in my life, I am very content, from your eyes, I can see that you are a good person. ”
"Don't come to me again, my father has been murderous to you recently, and if you go to Dragon Blue Castle again, your life will be in danger......"
"So, forget about me, a passer-by in your eyes, you have spent a time with me that is not so lonely, I really ...... Thank you very much. ”
The woman's soft lips leaned over, kissed Zhou Ming's cheek lightly, and whispered in his ear, "Goodbye." ”
Turning to leave, before I knew it, a tear slipped from the corner of the woman's eye.
"Dream Heart!"
Zhou Ming screamed, stretched out his hand in the air, and wanted to stop her, but the woman's body trembled slightly, and her pace accelerated, and she could only look at the lonely back, getting farther and farther away from him.
At this moment, I don't know why, Zhou Ming's heart became empty.
