Chapter 760: Masquerade
Claire also looked ignorant, and could only see from Captain Tang's flowing mang expression that it was definitely not a good word, most of it was a mixed talk in Chinese, so she looked at Tang Yun, and sure enough, she saw that the little girl was smiling very obscenely.
"You two are really a brother and sister."
Of course, Tang Fang will not explain to Elena what it means, "You must turn over your cards more." "Shifting the conversation back to the masquerade of the Stone of Horus.
"Just to be on the safe side, don't go to the prom, just lend me VIVI."
He can use mimic chicks to disguise himself as Elena, but he can't make a nut robot that is determined to cut his aunt by Yan.
"There won't be any danger, will it?" Elena looked worried.
"Don't worry." Tang Fang rubbed her head: "I'll take care of it." β
Claire raised her eyebrows and stared at his face with suspicious eyes, thinking that Captain Tang had suffered a lot under VIVI, and this time he would not declare a personal vendetta and give it a bitter taste.
At this moment, Roy's voice came from the door of the restaurant.
"Brother Tang, Senbat called and asked if you had received an invitation from Small."
Tang Fang handed the two invitations to Claire, walked quickly to the door of the restaurant, entered a small lounge next to it, and sure enough, he saw Sambat's sad face.
Without extra greetings, he walked to the camera after entering the door and said directly: "Small did send someone to send 2 invitations." β
Senbat said in a deep voice: "Although I don't know what he is going to do, it is better not to go anyway." β
"Why not." Tang Fang smiled and said, "Of course I'm going." β
"Have you forgotten what happened to the Harlem Bridge?"
"I haven't forgotten."
"And you're still going?"
"Of course."
Sambart frowned, stared into his eyes for a long time, as if he had made a decision, sighed and said, "Okay, see you tomorrow." β
In fact, he didn't want to attend this anniversary ball, he just turned 40 this year. You can go or you don't.
In this eventful season, he was reluctant to get too involved in public to avoid a situation where he said too much, but now that Tang Fang wants to go no matter what, he feels that he should go with him. I might as well take care of it from the side, maybe I can help somewhat.
Seeing that he no longer insisted, Tang Fang changed the topic: "That incident...... What is the opinion of the Duke of Tucsona? β
As soon as he heard this, the sadness on his face became even thicker: "Father didn't say anything. β
"Hmm." Tang Fang didn't say much, and Tucsona's reaction was expected.
"See you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow." Samba nodded and disconnected the call.
Roy said, "This lord has a good heart, and I like him very much. β
Tang Fang didn't say anything, threw down the sentence "go to dinner", turned around and left the lounge. Walk towards the restaurant.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
According to the invitation sent by Small, the opening time of the dance party was at dawn for "Natasha", and it would be shortly after nightfall if it was replaced by "Cabreto" time.
After dinner, he went back to his bedroom to rest, and slept until the distant col showed a slight whiteness, when he was awakened by a soft knock on the door.
Don't think about it, it has to be Claire. Only she would be so careful. For fear of waking up Tang Yun and Yu Fei in the room next to him too loudly.
Speaking of which, Miss Ship's belly is getting bigger and bigger day by day. But she was still a workaholic as before, and if Nehemiah hadn't ordered Churchill to forcibly send her down, she would still be worried about those trivial things.
Of course, what seems to him to be insignificant is for Yufe, who oversees the allocation of resources for the whole ship. It's not a trivial matter, not to mention that the girl is still a typical A-blood Virgo, who thinks carefully and likes to do things according to plan.
She is a very qualified ship officer.
But now the situation is that she is pregnant. With Joey's baby in her belly, she is not suitable for the dull, tense atmosphere of the bridge all the time, and what she needs most is to relax and live a calm and soothing life.
He struggled to get up from the bed, rubbed his worried eyes, walked to the window with his bare ass, looked at the blue and white in the sky, and waited for his consciousness to be a little clearer, before putting on Claire's new ** on the hanger last night, walked over and opened the door, casually said "morning", flashed into the bathroom next to him, and began to brush his teeth and wash.
He just wore ** and hung his butt there, and Claire didn't care, took away the changed clothes, and put the outfit he asked the housekeeper to find someone to make overnight on the sofa, turned around and walked to the side of the bed and began to fold the quilt.
"Hurry up, VIVI should be here in a moment, what does it look like with a bare ass......"
"I'm not wearing a **." With toothpaste in his mouth, he mumbled, "It's not a human, it's just a machine." β
Claire didn't bother to pay attention to him, packed up the bed, and went to clean up the mess on the table, then pushed open the window, letting the light of the east pour into the room, dispelling the little darkness and illuminating her snow-white skin and long golden hair.
Tang Fang walked out of the bathroom and put on black pants, black boots, black tights, and black leather gloves.
There were several daggers stuck in the belt of the straitjacket, unedged, but very bright, glowing cold in the faint morning light.
He put on his black cloak again, looked at the beautiful girl outside the mountain from the window, and said, "How is it?" β
Claire turned her head, looked at him carefully, and suddenly burst out laughing, "It's kind of funny." β
Tang Fang pinched the black top hat and put it on his head again, and then took the mask on the coffee table and covered his face: "What now? β
The girl shook her head: "I really can't do anything about you, it's two or three hundred years old, and it can still be thought of by you." β
The morning sun spread out on her shoulders, and the ends of her golden hair fluttered in the wind, like swirling clouds, like new buds.
"You would embarrass many people by wearing such an outfit to the anniversary celebration of the 'Stone of Horus'."
Tang Fang hooked her chin, looked at the bright eyes that had been washed by water, and said, "That's what I want." β
She opened her mouth sharply and bit the dishonest finger until the man in front of her cried out in pain, and then let it go, and said hatefully, "Tell you to turn over Elena's cards more." β
"Huh. You got it. Tang Fang rubbed his fingers that had been bitten out of a circle of tooth marks: "Is it Bai Hao's kid who has a lot of mouths?" β
Claire ignored him and continued to look at the scenery in the distance.
The mist in the valley began to dissipate, and the water vapor reflected the brighter and brighter morning light, paving the green tea groves with a soft white. The sound of water in the stream was covered by the crisp birdsong, and the roses in the courtyard were very delicate, and the tips of the flowers were adorned with drips of cold dew. There is a refreshing coolness.
He shrugged, not thinking about the gossip, summoned a mimic insect, and ordered it to take on Elena's appearance as he walked out the door.
In addition to his outfit, Claire also brought a more modest evening gown and a Venetian mask resembling two butterflies.
Because of the existence of VIVI, "Elena" is destined to be recognized by most people and concealed from it. It's better to be generous.
In fact, seriously speaking, with his outfit, it is easier for people to recognize his identity.
When I came downstairs, the morning light was even stronger, but "Kehanooton" had not yet jumped out of the horizon, and the wet cold of dawn was particularly heavy, and the wind blew on the face, which was a little cold.
Elena did not show up. It's just VIVI that comes.
The nut robot was contaminated with a lot of flower dew when it got under the begonia tree, which made it uncomfortable. So he took out the cloth in the medical kit and rubbed the pink and white shell very carefully, concentrating like a girl grooming.
Tang Fang struggled a lot to resist complaining about the words of pretending to be a big-tailed wolf, and greeted, "Are you ready?" β
VIVI GLARED AT HIM WITH ELECTRONIC EYES THE SIZE OF BRASS BELLS, "I DON'T KNOW WHAT ECSTASY SOUP YOU POURED INTO ELENA, SHE CARES SO MUCH ABOUT YOU." β
Tang Fang said: "Because I am her fiancΓ©, don't you understand the reason for girls to be extroverted?" LOW goods. β
VIVI doesn't know what "LOW" means, so it's not a good thing to think about.
"Hmph." It simply shut its mouth and ignored him.
Seeing such a scene. HE WAS A LITTLE SURPRISED, HE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT ELENA SAID TO IT LAST NIGHT, WHY DID HE BECOME SO TALKATIVE TODAY, UNLIKE THE LAST TIME THEY MET, HE OPENED HIS MOUTH AND CLOSED HIS MOUTH TO YAN HIMSELF.
The dull sound of a high-heeled shoe colliding with a wooden ladder reached the pinna. After a short time, Elena in the form of a mimic chick walked downstairs and into the courtyard.
Tang Fang popped out a round gadget, was caught by "her", put it in his mouth, and then said in a very gentle voice: "These flowers...... It's really beautiful. β
Although the voice has some metallic timbre, which is slightly different from the real Elena, if you are not an acquaintance, you can't tell the real from the fake at all.
VIVI's round electronic eyes were replaced by a pentagram and he sighed, "Oh my God, it's so similar, how the hell did you do it." β
It is very puzzled, whether it is physical features, infrared scanning, X-ray fluoroscopy, this imposter is exactly the same as a normal person, if it weren't for the fact that it knew very well that Elena, who had been crying for half the night, was still sleeping in the bedroom, maybe it would really be frightened by this scene.
Tang Fang smiled, did not respond to its question, waved to the smiling girl in front of the window on the second floor, said, "Goodbye", stepped on the slightly slippery bluestone road, crossed the sea of begonia flowers, walked on the small bridge, and entered the world of withered peach blossoms.
A few minutes later, a dark shadow passed between the green trees and the clouds, and the sky was blue.
Claire watched the clouds scattered by the Safalcon-class shuttle disappear, picked up the clothes that needed to be washed on the sofa, and slowly walked out of the room, gently closing the door.
The wind passing through the hall faded, and the curtains that were raised slowly subsided.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
The Bavaria Space Station is a private space station, small in size, less than 3 kilometers in length, which looks like two spliced towers erected in the high-altitude orbit of the "Cabreto".
Looking down from above, you can see the azure scenery of "Cabreto", and on the other side are the three brothers of Kehanos who are blazing.
Not everyone can have such a private space station in the high-altitude orbit of "Cabreto", and it is not possible to have money, but generally not to have power.
Even the status of the Grand Duke of Luls is only worthy of having such a small space station on the back side of the hemisphere where "Dekaben" is located, as his space residence when "Cabreto" is located.
Of course, because Grand Duke Rouls rarely leaves the realm, the true master of the Bavarian space station is his eldest grandson, the Venerable Lord Small.
The Chafalcon-class shuttle docked into the satellite dock of the space station, and the two walked through a long transparent passage to the core area of the space station.
Due to the masks and clothing, some people did not know their identities, and only those who had attended the drinking party organized by Elizabeth could guess who was coming from VIVI next to "Elena". They all whispered to each other.
Most of the members of the Stone of Horus did not expect that Small would invite these two highly controversial figures to the masquerade, and they were somewhat repulsed and awkward.
Only the descendants of the core members of the old-school forces sneered in their hearts, ready to sit back and watch Small lose face. Although they didn't know what kind of medicine Xiang sold in the gourd of His Excellency Lord, who was known for his gentleness, they had already found out from their father's mouth what kind of person Captain Tang was.
Although what happened at the airport in Gangadas city was covered up by Kehanaru for the first time. But as the core of power in this country, many of the great nobles heard some rumors that he had done another thing in "Nasero" that would make His Majesty lose face.
Recruit this kind of lawless guy, unless Small can serve him well, otherwise, God knows what kind of mess will be made.
Some shrewd people have begun to retreat, but for the sake of face, it is not good to leave immediately.
Still others were optimistic that Small had invited Don to the ball. I wanted to invite him to join the Stone of Horus, no matter how you look at it, it was kind, since he chose to go to the meeting, he must also have the intention of integrating into the aristocratic circle, and he should not find himself unhappy.
Tang Fang somewhat guessed the psychology of the people around him. Of course, nothing about that.
When they walked to the end of the connecting passage, a security officer asked them to show their invitations, so they gave them to the other party. However, he was stopped when he passed through the checkpoint because of the screeching alarm sound from the detection device next to him.
An elderly butler-like figure walked over. Politely asked if he had any control equipment with him.
Tang Fang lifted his cloak and put several blunt daggers on his belt on the platform for detailed examination by the security personnel.
After a few breaths, the old butler returned them to him with an apologetic face, and personally led the two into the safe passage.
A private space station like this is completely different from a functional space station such as a military port, a commercial port, and a supply station. It's built for the pleasures of the powerful.
Leaving the safe passage and entering the inner space, what catches your eye is not a steel jungle, nor a high-rise building, but an illusionary sky with a real blue sky. It is an endless green grassland, as well as distant hills, and a cold lake, as if a small scenic spot has been moved from the ground to space.
There were many electric locomotives parked next to the security gate, and the butler told him that if he didn't want to walk, he could use them himself, and then he took his leave and returned to the other side of the security gate to maintain order.
Tang Fang first released an observer, and then randomly selected a locomotive to drive "Elena" and VIVI to the villa area built on the lakeside at the end of the long road.
Landscape trees are planted on both sides of the long road, which stretches all the way to the distance, and at the end of the flat meadow is a cluster of flowers, dotted with verdant fields.
Accustomed to the stability of the maglev car, now driving a retro convertible electric car through the wilderness, suddenly made him feel like he had not been seen for a long time.
VIVI is much more cautious, and has been using scanning equipment to examine the guests it encounters on the road, and store data such as physical characteristics into the system in order to deal with possible emergencies.
Through the eyes of the observer, he knew very well VIVI's small movements, and wondered why Elena was not there, she was like a different person, from a highly anthropomorphic intelligent program, to a qualified life assistance robot.
Of course, this is the best way to save distractions.
A few minutes later, the locomotive stopped in the outer parking lot near the villa area, and the two got out of the driver's seat and walked towards the lake.
The meadow ends here, and there is a huge white building on the lakeside, somewhat similar to a Victorian palace, except that the architectural style is more delicate, and the decorative parts are very intricate, you can see both ancient elements and modern facilities, but they are perfectly blended together, and there is no sense of nondescript at all.
There is a small square between the palace and Qinghu, which is made of white marble, which looks very clean, and blends with Qinghu Lake opposite and the White House behind, giving people a natural and beautiful feeling.
The phantom sky turned into an evening scene under the control of the staff of the environmental control center, and the guests gathered in the square talked quietly, and only a few people noticed the arrival of Tang Fang and "Elena".
Unlike his image of masquerade balls, the members of the Stone of Horus are not too unconventional in terms of makeup and styling, and pursue madness and excitement.
Most of the women wore vintage Gothic masks, or intricately patterned Venetian masks to cover their faces and eyes, while some young girls wore cat ears and headbands, dressed as bunny girls or fairy fairies. Only a small percentage of people wear heavy makeup, exaggerated eyeshadow or blush.
As for clothing, lace and pleated dresses and suits are the majority, with black and white accounting for a large part.
Men are dressed in exaggerated attire, from sheriffs in cowboy hats, wizards in black robes, knights with swords, to Batman with a hooded head, vampires wrapped in cloaks with stand-up collars, and ancient Greek heroes with shields.
To Tang Fang's regret, he didn't see the skull with the cigarette butt in his mouth, the ghost with blood and tears, the withered and rotten walking corpse, and the person with the mottled iron hook to slaughter...... In short, none of those ugly characters are there.
The roles they play are either elegant, evil, mysterious, or righteous......
He felt that this might have something to do with the status of the members of the Stone of Horus, as the descendants of the great nobles of the United Kingdom of Tulanx, these people had noble origins, prominent status, and dazzling titles. Let people like them play ugly? Isn't that self-surrendering? (To be continued.) )
