Chapter 52: The Feast of the Hung Gate
The Island Hotel is the first hotel on Paradise Island, although it is not worth mentioning compared to the extra-star-rated hotels that have exhausted luxury in later generations, but it is also a high-end consumption place on this Paradise Island.
The whole hotel has two floors, the first floor is the hall, there are loose tables, and there are several boxes on the second floor.
I took Long Xin'er and her escort to the hotel, and as soon as I arrived at the door, Mathieson hurried out, and this grandson was also specially dressed up, with a shiny hairstyle and a black tuxedo that looked very valuable.
After seeing Long Xin'er, Mattheison's eyes were full of all kinds of filth, in addition to Mattieson, what was unexpected was that James, the governor of the island, was also invited to attend.
Once everyone was seated, Mathieson asked his men to bring up two beautifully packaged wines. Mathieson held the wine bottle in his hand and said to us proudly: "This is a good thing, the wine used in the royal banquet, ordinary people will not even have the opportunity to meet in their lives." ”
James echoed with a flattering face: "I have long heard that Count Soros's winery is rich in special wines, and even Her Majesty the Queen is full of praise for this wine, but I didn't expect to be lucky enough to drink it today, which is really a blessing for Mr. Mattisen." ”
Mathieson enjoyed the praise of others very much, the more pompous, the more happy, he said: "You can't say that it is my blessing, you have to thank Mrs. Han, they all say that good wine goes with beautiful people, if there is no Madame Han, I am really reluctant to take out this good wine." ”
James has no other skills, the ability to observe words and look at the horse is a must, since Long Xin'er came to the hotel, Mattheison's eyes have never left her, and she was deliberately mentioned many times at the banquet, James immediately understood that this Mattieson set up a banquet is not the intention of the drunkard, not the wine, but the beauty.
Between the wine cups, a bottle of wine has gone down for the most part, this wine does smell very good, compared to our own rum also has its own taste, but it is very different from rum, this wine is easy to make people get on when drinking, but after two glasses I began to feel a little dizzy. On the other hand, James was obviously a little unbearable, the more he drank, the more gibberish he became, and all the gorgeous praise words that he didn't think about were piled up on Mattheison, so that I almost vomited the overnight meal without nausea.
However, Long Xin'er and Mathyson drank amazingly, and he drank this wine as if he were drinking water, and his speech and demeanor were not affected by alcohol at all. According to Mathieson's original intention, he deliberately wanted to put us all down, and then use the strength of the wine to do nonsense, but he didn't calculate that Long Xin'er could drink so much.
After a few more rounds of confrontation, James and I were completely disarmed and surrendered, and we couldn't pour half a drop, and we could fall asleep on the table, Mathieson saw that Long Xin'er still looked the same and didn't plan to drink anymore, so he said with another plan in his heart: "Mrs. Han, you see that we are patronizing and drinking, this atmosphere is not warm enough, according to the habits of our British Empire high society, we should dance at this time to help the fun, and by the way, let the Governor sober up, I don't know if I can appreciate it?" ”
Long Xin'er shook her head and said, "Our Dahua Empire has always only had solo dances, but I have heard a little about your pas de deux in the West, but unfortunately they can't." ”
As soon as Mathieson heard this, he immediately stood up and said, "It's okay, it's just so that I'm here to teach Madame." ”
Seeing that this grandson was about to play hooligan in public, suddenly there was a violent explosion outside the hotel, which instantly woke up James and me, who were already in a daze. Where did the explosion come from? We all looked at each other, and Mathieson was shocked and temporarily put away his hooliganism.
A few seconds later, one of James' men hurried upstairs to report that it was not an explosion outside the hotel, but an explosion in the sea not far away.
There was an explosion on the sea? Our group hurriedly went downstairs and went straight to the beach, and at this time there were already many people gathered on the beach, and everyone looked at the sea with billowing smoke not far away.
In the crowd, I saw Grace and Zhou An'an, I immediately ran over to say hello, Zhou An'an glanced at Long Xin'er with a complicated expression, but she didn't say anything, Grace just nodded at me with a blank expression.
I asked An An, "What the hell happened?" How can there be a cloud of smoke on the sea? ”
Zhou Anan said: "It seems that someone saw something with wings hit the sea. ”
Something with wings? If you can explode and create such a large cloud of smoke when you hit the sea, is it an airplane? I looked at Zhou An'an, and she seemed to be in line with my thoughts, and nodded slightly.
Plane! How could there be a plane here all of a sudden? According to the current level of industrial development in the world, the plane will definitely not be built, so where did the plane fly from? Thinking of the wreckage of a plane that Su Yuliu and I found at the Love Tree on the island before, could it be that these two planes came from the same place? And the mysterious nameplate with the transformation plan written inside the wreckage, could these planes be on a special mission? But what the hell is this goddamn mission?
I'm sure now that there must be another group of people in this world besides us whose memories have not been affected, and even that all that happened was done by those people, who should have kept all the modern technology and were plotting some ulterior secrets. But the question is, where will these people be? Is it really like in Truman's world, where we live in a world that is actually a giant sound studio, and someone is in control outside the studio?
After the smoke on the sea cleared, there was something similar to the wreckage of an airplane floating on the sea, but it was already night, although the bright moon in the sky was dazzling, illuminating the whole earth, but after all, the vision would still be affected by the night, I said to James: "It's really strange that something suddenly fell from the sky and hit the sea, you give me a boat and I'll see what is on the sea." ”
James was also confused at this time, and without thinking too much, he asked his subordinates to arrange the boat, and Zhou An'an and Long Xin'er on the side said almost in unison: "I'm with you." ”
Paddled the boat that James had prepared to the floating debris, and I was already pretty sure that it was a small plane that had hit the surface, and although some of the body had sunk under the surface, the debris that was about the same size as the one I saw under the love tree.
I lay on the edge of the small wooden boat, trying to reach out and drag through a small wreck to see clearly, but I didn't expect that the center of gravity was not well controlled, and the whole body fell into the sea with a thud.
In an instant, the sea water immediately poured in from all directions, fortunately, after a long time of exposure during the day, the surface of the sea water at this time was not cold, I was about to surface the sea, and was suddenly startled by the scene in front of me.
