Chapter 5 The Full Moon of the Islands
The sunset is beautiful because it is so beautiful because of the afterglow of its end, and the sea is beautiful because the sun seems to be held in her arms when it sets.
Life has a purpose in life, and we who are on the verge of death at any time still need to work hard?
When we persevere, what will we leave behind?
What do we want to achieve before we stop?
Along the way, I thought about a lot of boundless things, maybe it was a trace of sadness brought by this beautiful sunset, maybe it was because of the sentimentality that came from picking up Alice's love, no matter what, there are some things that must be solved, and it is also something that must be faced, I am not a gentleman, and I don't want to be a murderer, is it so difficult to be an ordinary person's desire, so far away?
After some life and death, magic to reality, ordinary happy life has become more and more unrealistic.
Beixue squatted alone on the reef by the sea, the sea caressed the reef, the whole scene made her even more isolated, her hair fluttered in the wind against the blowing sea breeze, but there was a kind of lonely beauty.
I came to a distance of 5 meters behind Beixue, Beixue looked at the gradually falling sunset in a daze, thinking about things, because she was facing away from me, maybe she was still crying, and she didn't want to be seen.
I was silent for a while, and finally said, "Beixue, I" At this time, I actually didn't know what to say, and I couldn't go on here.
Beixue didn't turn around, and said in a somewhat desolate voice, "You're here, do you have anything to say to me?" ”
I still struggled with my thoughts, and my confidence was a little lacking: "I want to help you." ”
Beixue looked at the direction of the sea level, stood up and said: "Okay, if you don't really want to help me, don't force yourself, after all, the enemies I face are not easy to deal with, and you are one of the killers pursued in the black zone on the Internet, you are in trouble, not to mention that you are difficult to protect, how can there be no danger with you?" ”
I wondered, "How do you know this?" ”
Beixue replied: "Half of your information was betrayed to the Internet by the people in your organization, you are the third largest person in the online black trade, there are definitely not a few who hunt you, I have been studying ancient scrolls and various news all year long, how could I not know about this kind of big thing." ”
Bei Xue said again: "And the name of your assassination organization may not even be well known to your insiders, but there is an official name given by us - Motian Organization, you have attracted a lot of official attention because of this self-exposure behavior, but the position in the organization, and the key people are all mysterious, but you were hunted down this time, and it also exposed that there are internal contradictions in your organization, otherwise this situation would not have happened, and the price of chasing you in the rich family you originally killed has risen to 500 million, So based on the serial connection of these materials and the published photos, I am convinced that the code name DK594 is you. ”
I haven't mentioned my code name for a long time, and I feel nervous in my heart, I've been overwhelmed by some inexplicable things, and I try not to remember what I was because I want to get out of the identity of the killer, and the fact that my original hands are full of blood.
I took a deep breath, and was poked into the depths of my heart by Beixue's words like a needle cone, restoring the original me.
Besher turned around, walked up to me, and continued, "However, we can make a deal now. ”
I looked at her, as if I wanted to get to know Beixue again, it turned out that she said so much just to make a deal with me, I asked, "What do you want?" ”
Beixue must have thought of a whole set of plans, and said calmly: "I know that for you killers, what morality and etiquette, gratitude and retribution, are all false, you people only pay attention to reality, only pay attention to your own safety and how much benefit you get, it is indeed a little selfish, however, such a person can see a more real side, I don't blame you, as long as you help me complete this thing of stealing the commander's ring, I can use my network to prepare your identity for a new life, and even a new life in the future, And you can get the latest official news and news from the Black Zone to help you avoid these dangers, so that you and Alice can go to live a good life, even an ordinary life. ”
Beixue painted a picture of the scene I yearn for, although she used her means to me, it was the taste of mutual use, but in this way, everyone can get the goal they want to achieve, each takes what they need, it turned out that I still wanted to help her, and now she proposed such better conditions at a glance, I agreed: "Deal." ”
Bei Xue stretched out her right hand and said, "After this matter is reached, we will not owe each other, and we will have nothing to do with each other. ”
I shook Snow's hand and said, "Do you have any complete plans?" ”
Beixue let go of my hand, crossed her arms and said: "I have already sent mail to the local post office, it is estimated that the people over there will send back the message in two days, and then we will go to the junction location, at that time you will act as my subordinate, so that I can handle passports, identity documents, and prepare equipment through internal rights, and I can get useful information and can adapt to changes." ”
I nodded, "Yes, but can I be considered a missing person in this shipwreck?" ”
Beixue shook her head and said: "This is impossible, the latest whereabouts you announced on the Internet at that time were in Atlantic City, no one knew that you were on a cruise ship, this kind of chase order would definitely take your head, besides, you will have to show up sooner or later, you can't stay on this island for the rest of your life." ”
I asked, "Why did you get back two days later?" ”
Beixue explained: "Because there is now a possibility that electronic signals on the Internet and in the air can be monitored by hackers or some organizations, although the email delivery is relatively primitive, it is the safest, although it is slow but very safe. ”
I suddenly realized something, and said, "I think I know the person who called you that time and instructed you to cruise the ship." ”
Beixue's eyes widened, and she moved closer to me and asked, "What?" How would you know? ”
I then told me about the process of meeting Lake on the airport road in New York and Atlantic City, and explained the extermination of the gang, but I didn't say a word about the curse and the recovery of my wounds, and I left three points for everything, on the one hand, I couldn't expose my old bottom, and on the other hand, even if I said Beixue, I might not be able to accept it all, not to mention that it is now a kind of use relationship, leaving a way back for myself.
Beixue was even more surprised: "It turns out that you did the gangsters in Atlantic City, and it was you who were pursued by the international special operations team later!" ”
I nodded and admitted, "That's where I got out and smuggled onto the cruise ship." ”
Beixue then thought for a moment; "According to the news from your mouth, it turns out that the name of the person who used me is Ryke, and they have already obtained a Ring of God, which in my opinion is likely to be the Star of Yellow Springs, and now they are going to attack the second Ring of God, so use my ability and positive relationship to exchange the news of the clown as a condition."
I asked, "Does it have anything to do with your group if he wrote H.G with his hands on the ground after he died?" ”
Beixue denied: "There will be no contact, because I have never heard of Miller when I was in this group, and if there is contact, I should be the first to know, because I and the team leader are both responsible for intelligence and liaison." ”
Beixue then guessed: "It's likely to be another code or a shorthand for a person's name, your information is very important, why didn't you say it earlier?" ”
I explained, "There's no need for Joseph and Alice to know about this kind of thing, I can only talk to you about it alone. ”
Beixue looked at the sunset and only had a little light left, and the beach was a little chilly, and said to me: "Okay, let's go back first, you can tell me the details in detail when you have time, so that we can connect some things together, and maybe there are many key points that we don't know." ”
I reminded, "Today Mr. and Mrs. Seamus came to celebrate Alice's recovery, will they report our salvation?" ”
Beixue walked forward and said, "I have already discussed with Uncle Seamer when I came, he can't report it to anyone, don't worry, I gave him 2,000 pounds, he won't talk nonsense." ”
I'm very relieved that Beixue did this, and since that's the case, I won't worry that the media and the police will inquire about and investigate the incident, and the news will spread more and more.
Bess was in front, and I followed all the way back, and when I walked back to the hut, I saw Joseph and Alice, and Seamus and his sons sitting around the oven with laughter, and the smell of grilled seafood was bubbling on the oven, and Joseph greeted me when he saw me coming back, "Hey, it took so long to find someone, Uncle Seamus has brought a lot of delicious food, and I will go to you if you don't come back." ”
Beixue showed that her mood had improved, and she jumped up to the oven where they were sitting, and said happily, "Oh, Mark and I studied some things at the beach, let me see what is delicious?" ”
Colin forked a piece of fish with seasoning and handed it over, "Sister Beixue, I specially grilled this piece for you, we have cod meat here, it's delicious." ”
Beixue took it and said, "Thank you." ”
I sat down next to Alice, and saw that she was flipping a piece of mussel meat on the iron plate, while Seamus prepared a few beers, handed me a roasted sea crab, and invited, "Come, come with me some beer, and this is a skewer of grilled squid." ”
When we heard this, we immediately looked at each other, I looked at Joseph, Joseph looked at Beixue, Beixue looked at Alice, Alice looked at me, Seamus looked at us in a daze, and knew in his heart that we didn't drink, Joseph may not have been exposed to alcohol since he was a child with Bishop Albus, Beixue and I have a very special job, Alice has not been a normal way to live since she was a child, and it is normal for Alice to be taken care of by Anne and never drunk. Although Seamus didn't know the inside story but saw that we couldn't drink, but with a few bottles of beer, we couldn't drink it alone, so I picked up the bottle and shook it and said, "This wine is very delicious, you must come and drink a little, you're welcome." ”
The four of us didn't speak for a while, and the atmosphere was a little awkward, Andy stretched out his hand and said, "Dad, I want to drink too." ”
I thought there was almost no danger on this island anyway, so it was okay to be presumptuous, and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll drink with Uncle Seamus." ”
Beixue thought the same as she thought, and said happily: "I'll come too, anyway, there are still two days." ”
Of course, I understood the meaning of Beixue's words, and the rest of the people hurriedly asked, Beixue took the wine glass handed by Seamus and said, "Ah, we will leave this island in two days." ”
After Seamus poured me wine, of course he poured half a glass for each of his two sons, and warned, "Only so much to drink today." ”
Seamus smiled and said, "Well, if the body recovers as soon as possible, it's good to go back." Then he motioned to Joseph, "Come and have a drink." ”
I tempted Joseph and said, "I will go back later, but I may not have the opportunity to drink at such an opportunity." ”
When Joseph was reminded by me, he raised his hand and said, "Then bring me a drink." ”
I said to Alice next to me, "You can drink some too." ”
Alice glanced at me with a delighted eyebrow, and Seamos saw this scene and persuaded: "Today is for you to celebrate, how can the heroine not drink?" Without saying anything, he put a glass directly in front of Alice, poured half a glass of beer, and then stood up and raised his glass and announced: "Today, to celebrate Miss Alice's recovery, the barbecue party has officially begun. ”
Everyone stood up, and Seamus took the cup and sent it forward: "Come, I wish Alice eternal health and beauty, cheers!" ”
A total of seven cups made a crisp "click" sound and collided together.
Wine is a wonderful thing, it can relax the mind, it can intoxicate the body, and it can even make people talk unguardedly.
I drank some beer and felt that the taste was not very good, a little bitter, but Joseph drank more and more vigorously over there, and frequently drank with Becky, and Seamus was still on the side to persuade him to drink, which meant that he was not drunk and had no home, Colin and Andy had already taken their father's warning words as wind in their ears, and the two brothers were drinking themselves over there.
I turned to look at Alice, who was not used to drinking, but had already drunk half a glass under Seamus's persuasion, and looked at me with rosy cheeks and lacquered eyes, and leaned against me with a squid fillet in her hand.
Seamus noticed the scene on our side and laughed, "Yo! And affectionately pulled up, alas, now this young man is so jealous, I want to be back then"
Even though Seamus said that, Alice and I didn't mean to sit down, not as embarrassed as we used to be.
Seamus opened the conversation and gushed endlessly, to the effect that he and his wife divorced, how to catch up with him back then, and now only with two children, how depressed, envious of how we are, I didn't listen carefully.
Joseph listened with relish, and exclaimed, "Wow, I didn't expect Uncle Seamer to be a romantic person." ”
Seamus was even happier, took another bottle of beer, and said with a smile: "Come, come, be happy today, drink enough." ”
While drinking and eating seafood, Colin said: "Sister Alice is so beautiful, I don't know how to be stirred up by you, there is a rule in our school, if boys and girls really love each other, they must kiss in public." ”
Andy's side heard the spirit and agreed: "Yes, kiss, kiss." ”
Seamus let out a loud snort, looked at the two sons fiercely and asked, "Shut up, are you two already in love, aren't you?" ”
Collinmo was silent, Andy stuck out his tongue with us in fright, wanting us to intercede with Seamus, although Joseph drank a little too much, but still wanted to persuade a few words, just wanted to open his mouth, who knew that Seamus, who had just been cold as ice, showed a happy smile and praised in an instant: "Okay, this is the person of our Seamus family, yes, it's a man, hahaha." ”
We almost fell en masse, and Seamus followed suit: "Be sure to kiss us, here we are a brave show of love!" Then he said to Joseph and Becky, "Do you think you should ask them to show us?" ”
It's all alcohol, and now Joseph and Beixue are already drunk and dazed, and they immediately responded while they were drunk, agreeing: "Yes, kiss, kiss." ”
For a while, the sound of forks and bottles knocking, the sound of slapping the table accompanied by the sound of urging, I looked down at Alice, my face was as red as Alice, Alice seemed to be disgusted and happy, and I was still a little nervous when I wanted to kiss in public for the first time, and I kissed Alice as quickly as a dragonfly.
The laughter of "oh, heh" immediately became louder again, and there was a round of applause from Seamus, who quipped again: "I didn't see it clearly just now, do it again." ”
Today is the happiest day I've ever had, and I'm also very happy, looking at Alice's blushing pretty face, laughing with everyone without any scruples, they are just as happy, they should be satisfied if they can forget the pain and live happily, it's good to live like this every day.
Under the starry night sky of the island, we laughed unrestrainedly, and today sadness did not "triumph".
Simo and his son staggered back at 23 o'clock in the time.
Although Joseph was very happy today, after all, he was a man with a lot of heart, and he really should get drunk.
Beixue is also drunk, she is so unguarded and drunk, it makes people feel that she is drunk for something, as for what it is, I think everyone knows in their hearts that emotional breakage can sometimes really change a person, can this drunkenness alleviate some spiritual pain? She was a strong girl, and only drunkenness could make her get a good night's sleep.
Alice and I drank the least, packing up the oven and some unfinished seafood in the kitchen, I only drank one glass of wine, Alice barely drank half a glass, although a little drunk, but it did not affect the movement.
I put Joseph back on our bedroom bed, and Joseph was already asleep, and the insects chirping outside, in the summer style.
Alice and I seemed to have a tacit understanding, and we didn't sleep at the same time and walked out of the bedroom, and came to the indoor hall, I went to sit on the sofa, and Alice also came over softly, and by the way: "Beixue has slept in that bedroom." ”
The noise has passed, leaving the silence to be our own, Alice gently stroked my cheek, love overflowing delicate body leaned over, I took the opportunity to hug Alice, but apologized: "I'm sorry." ”
Alice understood what I meant to make her sad on Atlantic City, put her head on my shoulder, and comforted, "Mark, it's all over, as long as you're by my side nothing matters, I just want to be with you." ”
I was deeply moved by Alice's affection, and found Alice's cherry lips and kissed them.
I put my arms around Alice's slender waist and hugged her on her lap to wait for further development, and Alice responded enthusiastically, and the enthusiasm that gradually warmed up between the contact boiled like boiling water.
At this moment, a ray of silver light sprinkled down, this light color has no temperature, but it made my spine chill, Alice opened her confused eyes, stretched out her hand to point out the window, and exclaimed: "What a beautiful moon." ”
I turned around and looked up, a round of bright full moon hung horizontally in the sky, the earth seemed to be covered with a silver carpet, the scenery of the stars holding the moon was extremely beautiful, my heart was shocked at the same time, gently pushed Alice away, and said softly: "Don't come near me yet, today is the night of the full moon." ”
Yes, when the moon is full again, I remember the words when I received the curse - I will come and collect a year of your life every time the moon is full!
The harvest process of the contract continuation, the demon inside me has dinner time.
There have been so many things that have happened recently that I have almost forgotten about this incident, and I still remember the terrible scene of the person who lost his life immediately after receiving the curse, Alice was once the person who was taken in life, of course, she understood the seriousness of the matter, and tears flowed out, and she lost her voice: "Mark, I hurt you!" ”
I kept a distance from Alice and said from the bottom of my heart: "When I saw you for the first time, I wanted to save you, it's not your fault, I'm willing to give everything I have, even my life!" ”
Alice was even more moved when she heard me say this, and she was about to pounce and hug her, I jumped up from the sofa in shock, and said seriously: "Don't come here, it's almost zero o'clock now, I'll go outside." ”
Alice wiped her tears and sobbed, "I'll go with you." ”
I was afraid that Alice would do something stupid, so I refused: "No, you stay here, it's just that the Grim Reaper came to talk to me, it's okay." ”
Alice cried and was angry, and said angrily: "It's all this time, you are still joking, I will accompany you, just watch from a distance, how did Anne take care of me before." ”
Alice then said in a reinforced tone, "I have to go!" ”
I saw that Alice's attitude was very resolute, so I had to warn: "You have to keep a distance of 20 meters from me, no matter what situation I have, don't come close, can you do it?" ”
Alice nodded, and then looked at the electronic clock hanging on the wall on the left, the time was 23:50.
I turned around and walked briskly outside, Alice stood up and followed behind me from a distance, thinking as she walked, it was so strange that the full moon came out today, I didn't see it when I was barbegging, and after a while, I walked to a green grass, and suddenly there was a feeling, invisible energy washed me to the ground, my body glowed red, and then there was a light blue light, my skin seemed to be dried up by the fire, and my body lying on the ground emitted black smoke like a substance, rolling like Lang, and the green grass around me quickly withered and died, The breath of death enveloped the entire body.
I kept thinking about Alice and shouted, "Don't come here, I'm fine!" Don't come here."
Suddenly, it was dark in front of me, and in my consciousness I felt like I was floating upward, and there was a signal on it that was summoning, more like a command, and I couldn't help but run towards that goal.
Although I was ascending, I felt as if I had been thrown to the ground, and my body seemed to be shattered, and a room appeared in front of me, which was lit by candles hanging around the walls, and although the fire was bright, there was a hazy feeling of being in a state of confusion, and everything was unreal.
At this moment I was tied with iron hoops and chains around my wrists, and even around my neck, and the chains that connected my necks were pulled by the other end, and on the other side of the chains was a black chair, to which my chain was fastened.
The chair is wide and heavy, the chair is located in the center of the front of the whole room, the back of the chair is hollowed out and carved into a shape that resembles a mushroom cloud, the mushroom cloud pushes up three layers and extends to the outside of the chair, extending two pairs of huge black winged wings, the wings are ready to fly and half-encircle the chair, behind the chair stand twelve pillars, the twelve pillars seem to be very far away and like reach, the first one is already dark blue, the second blue is halfway, but the later pillars are still white, The background behind the pillar is the vast starry sky, which seems to be slowly rotating, but it is different from the turbine form of the Milky Way, this starry sky is diffuse, and the hollow and outer stars are shaped into a scattered but boundless ring, such a starry sky makes people feel more tension and suction.
At this time, the twelfth pillar suddenly appeared a person tied by iron chains, he was tied high in the upper part of the pillar, he hung his head, far away from the vision is not very clear, I moved my body, the shackles on my body made a "ding" sound, although I felt that the iron chain was very heavy, in fact, this chain had almost no sense of weight, I came to the ground under the twelve pillars, although it was under the pillar, but the pillar had no roots, no wonder there was a feeling of imminent separation, even if you look at it, there will be a visual difference between the distance and the distance.
I looked up and looked closely, and was immediately shocked, it was me who was tied to it!
Frightened and inexplicable, a slight sneer suddenly broke the silence in this room, but the cold voice was so familiar.
