Chapter 122: The Shadow of Europa (4)
In the cramped Scandinavian-style room, Bai Xiuxiu changed into silk pajamas, put on a woolen cardigan, and lay on the bed with a mask. Xie Minyun was reading a book and taking notes, while Cheng Mo was wearing headphones and listening to the conversation she had with Prince Akim and Stern King at the "former Moravian Brotherhood site" with Bai Xiuxiu's mobile phone.
As long as Bai Xiuxiu's mobile phone is authorized with badges, fingerprints, iris, and passwords, it can connect with Nuwa and retrieve her usual monitoring records. The conversation of almost four hours is very long, and even if Cheng Mo opens it twice as fast, it will not be able to listen to it in a moment and a half. At twelve o'clock, Bai Xiuxiu took off the mask and threw it into the trash, closed the box across the door, kicked it to the side of the bed, poured another glass of mineral water, took out his small medicine box and took the medicine, and said loudly: "I won't be able to listen to it for a while and a half, let's go to bed early, and listen to it tomorrow, there is nothing to do anyway." β
Cheng Mo took off his headphones, looked at Xie Minyun and said, "Come in, you go to sleep first! β
"Actually, I don't really need to sleep, just meditate for a while every day is a good rest, so you go to sleep!"
"So you slept with me when you were in Finland?"
"What do you mean to accompany you? I can sleep once in a while and have a good rest......
At this time, Bai Xiuxiu, who was already lying on the bed, interrupted the conversation between the two of them, and said with a smirk: "I said that you two can sleep, anyone can sleep, but if you want to go to bed, you can only sleep with Xie Minyun, Cheng Mo, you can work hard, go to the car and get a sleeping bag! I will put the key on the bedside table." β
Xie Minyun looked back at Bai Xiuxiu and said softly: "It's uncomfortable to sleep in a sleeping bag, I'll move the bed away a little later, and it won't be too close to Instructor Bai's bed, so Instructor Bai will pay attention to it! β
Bai Xiuxiu didn't expect Xie Minyun to refuse her boss's reasonable "suggestion", thinking that Cheng Mo had actually slept in her own bed, and even tied herself to the bed, there was a trace of strange emotions in her heart, and she said lightly: "There is no need to move the bed, the room is so big, where can you move it?" Wait a minute, you don't make a noise with me, I sleep lightly and wake up easily." β
Cheng Mo stretched out his hand and shook Xie Minyun, who was sitting next to him, and said in a low voice: "It's okay, I'll wait to get the sleeping bag in the car, it's okay." β
Xie Minyun shook his head: "I'll just wait for the middle of sleep." β
"Wait a minute, maybe by the time I want to rest, it'll be dawn. β
"I'll be with you whenever you sleep. β
Bai Xiuxiu saw that the two of them were a little unbearable in front of her, and said "I turned off the light", and then reached out and turned off the crystal chandelier, lay down under the quilt and closed her eyes, Bai Xiuxiu couldn't help but listen to what Cheng Mo and Xie Minyun would say, but the two of them quieted down like this, and suddenly there was only a subtle sound of flipping books and the friction of pen tips and paper in the room.
However, Bai Xiuxiu, who was lying on the bed, couldn't sleep, she was embarrassed to toss and turn on the bed, so she could only forcibly count the sheep in her heart, but she couldn't fall asleep when she counted tens of thousands, so she could only sit up from the bed.
Xie Minyun glanced back at Bai Xiuxiu and asked, "Did we quarrel with you?"
Bai Xiuxiu, who was half-leaning on the head of the bed, turned the light on again, smiled and said, "No, it may be that I slept a little too much yesterday, so I can't sleep." β
Xie Minyun said "oh" and continued to read, Bai Xiuxiu also got out of bed and took out the Kindle from the box and began to read it, I don't know how long I have been reading, I only felt that the sky outside the window seemed to be a little brighter, and seeing that Cheng Mo, who was facing away from her, was always motionless with headphones, so he asked softly, "Is he asleep?"
Xie Minyun patted Cheng Mo's arm and asked, "Haven't you finished listening yet?"
Cheng Mo, who had been closing his eyes, opened his eyes, took off his headphones and said, "I've listened to it for the second time." β
Bai Xiuxiu put down her Kindle and asked with some confusion: "Second time, did you hear anything?"
Cheng Mo stood up and moved the back chair, sat down facing Bai Xiuxiu and said, "I have some doubts...... The Asgardian gladiators could only enter once, and the Chosen could not enter, which was too unreasonable. β
"I can tell you this, in fact, gladiators can enter infinitely, but Ou Yu only gives us one chance. Bai Xiuxiu said in a deep voice.
Cheng Mo said expressionlessly: "This will be reasonable, but the artifact is so rare, why would Ou Yu take the initiative to expose Asgard?
Bai Xiuxiu turned on the shield again and said in a low voice: "I'll only say these words to the two of you, don't spread them to the outside world, in fact, we came here this time not only to attack Asgard, but also to help Ou Yu eliminate the opposition forces, mainly the Chosen One Home and the people of the Free Front." The situation in Europe is relatively complicated, various forces are intertwined, and it is really difficult to quickly wipe out the huge number of stalkers with Ou Yu's strength, so Ou Yu submitted a report to the Round Table Council, hoping that other Chosen Ones organizations would help. In order to get the other Chosen Ones to agree, Ou Yu also released a benefit that could not be refused, that is, the land of Asgard Ruins....."
After a pause, Bai Xiuxiu continued: "Of course, this is Ou Yu's strategy to kill two birds with one stone, not only using Asgard to force other Chosen Ones to agree to help, but also using Asgard to make us have to do our best to encircle and suppress the Stalkers, of course...... Asgard is also a lure for stalkers. If in the end, none of the Chosen One organizations we participated in could conquer Asgard, then Ou Yu simply made a fortune..... Even if the 'Singer's Horn' Ou Yu is taken away by other Heavenly Chosen Organizations, it will be earned, and the price paid to quell the opponents by themselves must be very huge, not to mention, there are nobles on the side who are staring at Ou Yu, and if Ou Yu is not careful, the boat will capsize...... That's not something that an artifact can solve. β
Cheng Mo also thought about these reasons, he even knew that those junior students who were brought to Europe were also bait to tempt stalkers, but Cheng Mo didn't say it, he opened his eyes and said: "Ou Yu's calculation is really good, but Asgard is in Denmark after all, how did Ou Yu persuade the Danish royal family to agree to this plan?"
Bai Xiuxiu shrugged her shoulders: "There is no way to know this, but I think it should not be particularly difficult for Ou Yu to convince the Danish royal family, after all, Denmark is a member of the European Union, and they also have to consider the overall situation." β
"But I've listened to your chat, and I think Prince Akim of Denmark is very interesting......"
"Interesting, how do you say it?" Bai Xiuxiu asked as she stared at Cheng Mo.
Cheng Mo said softly: "Chairman Bai, did you notice what music Prince Akim was playing when you were chatting with him?"
Bai Xiuxiu frowned, recalled for a moment and said, "It seems to be "Bei Jiu". β
Cheng Mo hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled: "Yes, it's "Bei Jiu", I have listened to it many times....."
"What's so strange about "Bei Jiu"?" Bai Xiuxiu asked puzzled.
Cheng Mo pulled the headphones off the phone, he clicked play, and a music clip with a subtle noise floated out of the phone, Cheng Mo closed his eyes, Xie Minyun next to him also stopped writing and pricked up his ears, Bai Xiuxiu got off the bed and approached Cheng Mo to listen to the music that was not particularly clear.
Bai Xiuxiu frowned, she didn't hear anything particularly peculiar, except that the sound quality was not particularly good, but she saw that Xie Minyun's expression seemed to be a little weird, so she didn't make a sound, waiting for Cheng Mo's explanation.
At the last blood-boiling climax, when Stern King happened to say "We should still have a toast to the world for peace", Cheng Mo pressed the pause, looked at Bai Xiuxiu and said: "This is not an ordinary "Bei Jiu", but FurtwΓ€ngler's version of "Bei Jiu". β
Bai Xiuxiu was like falling clouds, she still didn't understand what Cheng Mo was talking about.
Xie Minyun, who was on the side, explained: "This is a live version of FurtwΓ€ngler's conduct of the Berliner Philharmoniker at the concert on the eve of his first birthday on April 19, 1942, because FurtwΓ€ngler has made an unprecedented extreme treatment of the whole piece, all the contrasts between strength and weakness have been infinitely amplified, the symbolic and emotional potential of all the instruments themselves have been tapped to the fullest, and all the single notes are roaring hoarsely, turning the original joyful and agitated hymn into a cold and steep roar..... Therefore, it is also called the darkness of "Bei Jiu", ......"
Cheng Mo nodded, "Music and personality are not unrelated things, what kind of music a person likes can roughly tell what kind of person he is." For example, those who like rock music are generally more rebellious, they are afraid of loneliness and love sports, while those who like pop music belong to the more casual type, most of them don't like complex things, they are not keen to think, and listen to music just to express their emotions and keep themselves at ease....."
After a pause, Cheng Mo avoided Bai Xiuxiu's gaze and said: "And those who like jazz are often more emotional, like to do things that are divorced from objective reality, don't like to be constrained, and hate being the same." β
Bai Xiuxiu just wanted to speak, but immediately remembered that Xie Minyun was beside her, so she immediately closed her mouth.
"And those who like to listen to symphonies are somewhat pretentious, they are not only confident in themselves, but also full of ambition for the future, these people are often in the upper class, but they are full of boredom with the boring life, and they yearn for a magnificent life....."
Xie Minyun glanced at Cheng Mo: "How can I be pretentious?"
Cheng Mo let out a "uh", pushed down his glasses and said: "Actually, you used to be quite pretentious..... but immediately Cheng Mo coughed and said: "Of course it's not at all now!"
Xie Minyun bit his lip and said, "I think you are even more pretentious than me!"
Bai Xiuxiu interrupted the dialogue between the two of them, which in her opinion was forced to pour dog food, and said angrily: "Okay, you two don't flirt, now we are discussing business, even if Prince Akim listens to the dark "Bei Jiu", it can't explain anything, right?"
Cheng Mo shook his head, "Corresponding to your discussion of the situation in Europe later, it is obvious that Prince Akim is deeply worried about the EU's approach, especially the EU's refugee policy, which makes Denmark have to accept refugee quotas. Henriksen's immigration minister's proposal to send all undesirable migrants to an isolated island for treatment of serious illnesses has made the EU so unhappy that even European Commission executive Nock has criticized Denmark by name. I also read Prince Akeem's Twitter just now, and several of the few people he follows are Danish populist right-wing parties, one of which is Martin Henriksen..... Combined with the dark "Bey Nine", I think Prince Akim is very unhappy with the European Union, if not a white supremacist...... ..... who are also dissatisfied with the EU I think there was also the Rosicrucian, led by Napoleon VII..... In fact, the Rosicrucians have always accepted only Anglo-Saxons (note 1)..... In connection with the 'Iris Declaration' issued by Napoleon VII at the beginning of the year..... the 'Rosicrucian Society' will not be within the scope of Ouyu's purge, right?"
Bai Xiuxiu was a little shocked that Cheng Mo could analyze the facts from such clues, she took a moment, and through Cheng Mo's playful eyes, she determined that Cheng Mo saw the clue from her expression, so she didn't deny it, nodded and said: "The Rosicrucian Society is indeed within the scope of the attack, but it is not the main target, it is mainly the Home of the Chosen and the Free Front." β
Cheng Mo asked to himself: "Then this is very strange, Ou Yu completely handed over Asgard to Prince Agem, isn't he afraid that Prince Agum will use Asgard to do something? For example, using the artifact as a condition to ask the Star Gate to help the Rosicrucian control Ou Yu? I don't think this is an unacceptable quid pro quo for the Star Gate, right?"
Bai Xiuxiu lowered her head and fell into deep thought.
Cheng Mo stood up and said firmly: "In short, Asgard must have something to do, we must find out what kind of secrets Asgard hides." I always feel that the goals of the Danish royal family and Ou Yu are not the same, and we may be able to take advantage of the contradictions between them!"
Bai Xiuxiu hesitated for a moment, then looked up at Cheng Mo and said: "Actually, when I left, Prince Agem also said a sentence, he told me that the 'singer's horn' is very powerful, so the difficulty of Asgard is incredible, and told me to strive to get the first place to enter Asgard, I turned on the shield when he said this, so I was not recorded...."
"A place of ruins that only gladiators are allowed to enter, but the difficulty is unbelievable? This is a bit contradictory!" Cheng Mo said.
"I've always thought that Ou Yu's statement that the Asgardian Chosen can't enter is an excuse, and that's just to reduce the likelihood of other Chosen organizations getting the artifact.....," Bai Xiuxiu said solemnly.
"Then the other round tables are not so easy to fool, right?" Cheng Mo asked.
"Of course, maybe Ouyu has a special way to keep the Chosen from entering Asgard. Bai Xiuxiu said.
Cheng Mo pondered for a moment and asked, "Chairman Bai, can you use the time rift to enter the land of ruins without being discovered?"
Bai Xiuxiu shook his head and said: "In theory, there is no problem, but in practice it will be very troublesome, in order not to be detected, I have to start using the skill far away, I don't think my blue may be able to last until I enter Asgard, not to mention that we don't even know where the entrance is now..."
Cheng Mo said lightly: "It's okay, someone will help you check." β
"Who?" Bai Xiuxiu asked involuntarily.
"Honorable Consul, Mr. Stern King, of course!" Cheng Mo said.
ββββββββββββββββββ
When Cheng Mo got up from bed the next day, Bai Xiuxiu had disappeared, only Xie Minyun was suspended and meditating beside Cheng Mo, Cheng Mo did not disturb Xie Minyun got up, washed his face and brushed his teeth, changed his clothes, went to the common kitchen to wash cereal, boiled eggs and returned to the room.
At this time, Xie Minyun also stopped meditating, she was changing her clothes, the white cotton bra was wrapped around the mountain peaks like ice cream, it looked very sweet, and the waist was also seductive, and suddenly folded out a wonderful arc, the narrowest part of the arc was just right for the slender without a trace of fat, and the two shallow muscle lines on both sides of the lower abdomen extended down into the tightly wrapped jeans, there is really nothing more charming than such an explosive healthy and sexy feeling, Cheng Mo entered the door and hurriedly turned his head and said: " I'm sorry, I didn't see anything. β
"I'm your daughter-in-law, and I don't see anything. Xie Minyun said lightly.
Cheng Mo immediately turned around, but unfortunately Xie Minyun had already put on the T-shirt at this time, and the beautiful figure that made people feel bloody was also hidden under the clothes, Cheng Mo was a little regretful. But he didn't show it at all, just asked, "Where did Chairman Bai go?"
Xie Minyun replied, "She went to the town to guard the Moravian Brotherhood..... We don't know where Stern King lives, so we have to go there and wait for the rabbit. β
Cheng Mo rolled his eyes and said, "Why are you so stupid?"
"Stupid, do you have a better way?"
Cheng Mo sat down at the table, opened his laptop, boarded the booking and searched for the B&B near Christianfeld, and then Cheng Mo picked up his mobile phone and dialed the number of the hotel in the first place through the Internet, the reason why he had to dial through the Internet phone was because the other party could not see his exact number.
Soon the other party was connected, and after the other party said "hello", Cheng Mo asked in standard American English, "Is Mr. Stern King here?"
"Mr. Stern King, sorry, we don't seem to have this person here. β
"I'm sorry, maybe I made a mistake. After saying that, he quickly hung up the phone and began to call the second homestay.
