Chapter 194: The Puzzle (16)

The elevator made a crisp "ding", which was completely different from the electronic sound of an ordinary elevator, a bit like a wind chime, just like the bell ringing when he pushed open the door of the hostel just now. Such a coincidence made Cheng Mo find it interesting, Cheng Mo speculated a little about why the elevator door opening sound was so special, assuming that this fully transparent glass elevator belonged to the demon god Beret, then "he" was more likely to be a woman.

"Please, Mr. Abdul. At this point, Ahmadi's expression became serious, and he no longer called Brother Chengmo, but called him Mr. instead.

Cheng Mo nodded slightly, and walked out of the elevator, the elevator entrance is a large foyer, the entrance hall is surrounded by three white metal walls as smooth as jade, the walls are carved with colorful murals, and on the white metal wall facing the elevator door, a woman wearing dark gold armor, wearing a red cloak, and holding a golden spear sits high in the clouds, and she is surrounded by a circle of richly dressed men and women.

The size of the characters is the same as that of a real person, and the relief carving method is matched with the bright color of the monitor, which not only makes the characters come to life, but also gives this huge mural a three-D visual effect, which looks very shocking, and has the illusion of watching a movie with VR glasses.

As for the content of the painting, even if you are not familiar with Greek mythology, as long as you have been to Greece, you will know that the image of the Valkyrie holding a golden spear in front of you is Athena, the goddess of wisdom beloved by everyone in Greece.

Cheng Mo stared at it for a moment, and noticed that the other twelve main gods of Olympus were actually surrounding Athena, although there was no Zeus among them, but this composition was really a bit deviant.

Seeing that Cheng Mo was admiring the relief mural, Ahmadi whispered: "This is the work of the German painter Howard David Johnson, who has always been good at depicting characters from Greek mythology. ”

Cheng Mo looked at the mural and said: "It's shocking, I think this art form of combining relief and oil painting is more amazing than the traditional mural!"

"I was also scared when I saw it for the first time, this kind of work is not only so simple as realistic, but very beautiful, I also wanted to get one in my home, but I was scared by the cost......" Ahmadi shrugged his shoulders and said regretfully: "This metal is ridiculously expensive, and to create such a painting, it takes an artist with very high attainments in painting and sculpting." ”

Cheng Mo turned his head to look at Ahmadi and smiled, "That won't discourage you." ”

"Yes! I thought I wouldn't want to make it this big, or make a smaller one for myself, but Mr. Johnson wouldn't, and he said he wouldn't want to spend five years doing this a second time, no matter how much money he put out..... Unless I want a mural bigger than the one in front of me, then he still has a slight desire ......to create," Ahmadi smiled bitterly, "and I don't have enough money." ”

"And how much does this mural cost?" Cheng Mo asked with interest.

Ahmadi whispered, "1500 million..... Euro. The main thing is that the material is more expensive, this is a special alloy, and special pigments are also needed for coloring, and these pigments are made of rare ores. So the whole mural is mainly expensive in terms of cost, and Mr. Johnson only received a symbolic euro, and he said that Lord Beret gave him a chance to make a name in history, so the cost did not matter, but our Lord did not treat him badly, and gave him a painting of Renoir......"

"Renoir's paintings, Lord Beret is really generous. ”

"The main thing is to give Mr. Johnson a reward that he can't refuse. Ahmadi smiled, then made a gesture to the right side of the elevator.

Cheng Mo then looked to the right, the white metal wall on the right side was inlaid with a gate with countless golden olive leaves, the gate looked very heavy, but when Cheng Mo and Ahmadi walked over, it quietly slid open to both sides, and two rows of maids wearing Greek-style tied cotton gauze skirts appeared in front of Cheng Mo, and their improved ancient Greek-style palace, compared with the ancient Greek architectural style, it abandoned most of the curved lines and overly complicated patterns, and adopted simple straight lines, so at a glance there was less luxury and elegance, more pure and flawless。

Cheng Mo didn't know what a modern palace would look like, but now this building on the sixty-sixth floor gives a perfect answer.

Just as Cheng Mo and Ahmadi walked to the door, a blonde woman wearing a golden wheat ear headband came out from behind the door, she looked at Cheng Mo and asked, "Ahmadi, is this Lord Beret's guest?"

"Yes, Miss Ayala, this is Mr. Abdul, the guest whom Lord Beret is meeting today. Ahmadi bent down slightly, bowed his head, said respectfully, and after a pause, Ahmad introduced to Cheng Mo: "Mr. Abdul, this is Miss Ayala, our Lord Beret's bodyguard, and she will take you to meet Lord Beret later." ”

Cheng Mo didn't show any unusual expression when he heard this familiar voice, in fact, he thought that he would meet Ayala at the Hydra headquarters, but he didn't expect this to be the case. However, this was not something that could surprise him, his face and eyes did not show any abnormality, and he soon smiled and said, "Miss Ayala, it is a pleasure to meet you. ”

Of course, Ayala didn't recognize that the man in front of her who was dressed as a Middle Eastern was Lin Zhinuo, whom she had seen a few days ago, she also smiled and said lightly: "Mr. Abdul, I'm also very happy to meet you." After a pause, she added, "I think Ahmadi has already told you that we need to verify the identity of your trainee doctor before entering. I hope you don't get offended. ”

"It makes sense. Cheng Mo replied without hesitation, but he said it easily, but he had some regrets in his heart. Identifying him as a "trainee doctor" through the plague does not reveal his true identity. First, because his identity registered on the Black Death was "well awakening", and second, most of the doctors of the Black Death walked in the underground world, even if they were fellow doctors, they did not necessarily want the other party to know their true identity, how to identify each other under the condition of protecting each other, as long as the other party used their mobile phones to open the "plague" Scan the iris for authentication, the specific identity of the plague will not tell the other party, only the simplest rank will be given, the Black Death doctor is divided into six ranks, the first level is Cheng Mo's current trainee doctor, the second level is the short-shirted doctor, then the long-shirt doctor, then the alchemist, the white-robed bird's beak doctor, and the highest level is the black-robed bird's beak doctor, they are also called the plague doctor in ancient Europa.

There is no risk of revealing his identity, and the reason why Cheng Mo feels "regretful" is because if he uses violent means in the future, the other party can complain to the plague, then he will definitely face the scrutiny of the white-robed bird's beak doctor.

This also means that Cheng Mo has no way to continue to lurk in the Black Death, and if the Black Death is traced deeply, it is even possible that the body will be exposed to the Black Death. But at the moment, Cheng Mo can't take care of so much, so he can only solve the crisis in front of him first.

Seeing that Ayala had already taken out the Black Death mobile phone disguised as an Apple mobile phone and clicked on the plague, Cheng Mo approached slightly, Ayala raised the phone and pointed the camera on the back at Cheng Mo's eyes, but it took just a few seconds for the entire verification process to be completed.

Ayala glanced at the icon of a small crow that had just broken its shell on her phone, and said with a smile: "Doctor Abdul, please inside." ”

Cheng Mo nodded and walked inside, while Ahmadi stayed outside the golden gate.

When Cheng Mo entered the interior, he found that the style of the sixty-sixth floor and the entire Hydra Building was completely separated, if the sixty-five floors below belonged to a normal style, except that their business scope was relatively wide, you would not think that there was anything surprising about the headquarters building of Hydra, but when it came to this floor, Cheng Mo felt that it was not like he was in the world.

There is a large artistic conception of cutting off the red dust for 30 miles, and the white clouds and red leaves are leisurely. Just on a high place, it is difficult to glimpse the autumn leaves, but you can overlook the lights of Athens, Cheng Mo saw through a whole glass curtain wall without joints, and saw the sea of lights that lit up the night, the shapes of the streets and buildings were strangely determined and clear in the light, and the white mist-like light flowed in it, which was a river of cars.

"You are the first guest who can get here, and we Lord Beret never meet here. "Walking a little ahead, you glanced back at Cheng Mo and said softly.

"It's been a real privilege. Cheng Mo replied respectfully with a slight stroke of his chest, he and Ayala were followed by more than a dozen beautiful maids, and the scene looked like an ancient Greek court drama in a movie.

"The main thing is that your conversation with Ahmadi that day made us very interested in Lord Beret, plus your status as a trainee doctor, so Lord Beret specially asked Ahmadi to make an appointment with you. ”

"Actually, I'd love to see Lord Beret, who is also said to be a 'doctor'. ”

"Yes, we Lord Beret are alchemists. Ayala's tone was flat, but there was an unspoken pride in it, and she added, "It's not that he can't be a 'bird's beak doctor', it's just that he's more interested in research..... I don't have much interest in fighting, killing, killing. ”

Hearing Ayala say this, I first remembered Dr. Charlie on Penglai Island, it seems that the big guys of the Black Death are all weirdos, which are very different from the traditional "bad guys", like Dr. Charlie almost never cares about the affairs of Penglai Island, and all of them are handed over to others to deal with through the Penglai Island management system. is not concerned about making money at all, and his palace is even more strange, like an old man with a bad taste.

At the moment, this demon god Beret seems to be similar, although he controls Europa's leading gangster, but he has no interest in fighting and killing, judging from the decoration style of the palace, he still seems to be a scientific research high-IQ person who is indifferent to everything and only cares about what he is interested in.

Cheng Mo's heart sank, it seemed that the strength of the demon god Beret was even higher than he imagined. His plan to violently coerce the other party to tell him the location of the red pill in Xiyuan Temple may not work, of course, it is not completely without a chance, after all, the other party does not know that he is in a carrier state, as long as the demon god Beret uses his body to meet him, then Cheng Mo has a chance, if the other party is very cautious and uses the carrier to meet him, then Cheng Mo can only give up the road of violent coercion and use other ways.

Cheng Mo was thinking about various methods in his mind, and at the same time he seemed to be casual with Ayala, but in fact, he was knocking on the side to probe the details of the demon god Beret, and soon the two passed through the labyrinthine palace and came to the side of the building, which faced the Acropolis and could easily admire the Temple of Athena on the Acropolis Mountain.

Seeing the wonderful scenery in front of him, Cheng Mo couldn't help but show a look of surprise, of course, he was not surprised by the still majestic temple in the lights. Rather, he saw a white tablecloth table and two golden chairs floating outside the glass wall of the building, with silver candlesticks in the candlesticks, in which the flames were swaying in the windshield, against the starry sky and the lights of the city.

This magical sight made the well-informed Cheng Mo couldn't help but be surprised, he looked closely, only to find that there was a piece of flat glass under the dining table, and in the middle of the flat glass there was a cable that was imperceptible to the naked eye in the dark night, and this cable was connected to the metal arm of the crane, which was actually a flat glass "hanging basket" without any railing and support......

"Mr. Abdul, you don't have a fear of heights, do you?" Ayala stopped and turned her head to look at Cheng Mo and asked with a smile.

"A little bit, but I'm sure it's going to be a great experience. Cheng Mo pretended to be polite and embarrassed and replied, if the body was here, he would definitely not feel that there was any experience in eating on a piece of glass suspended more than 200 meters in the air, if there must be, it would be frightened.

"Then please sit on it for a while and enjoy the beautiful night view of Athens, and we will be there soon. ”

"Okay, luckily the weather was nice today and there was no wind. Cheng Mo smiled.

"It doesn't matter if it's windy, the chair and the table are fixed to the glass, and if you feel scared, you can fasten the harness under the chair. ”

"No, I'm sure I don't need to wear a seatbelt, I wonder if you need to put a seatbelt on your plate. Cheng Mo joked.

Ayala chuckled and said, "Of course not, the tables and plates are magnetic, you can eat with confidence." ”

"With Lord Beret with you, of course rest assured. Cheng Mo walked towards the glass hanging basket, and Ayala had already opened a door next to the hanging basket for Cheng Mo in advance.

Cheng Mo stepped out of the building and stood on the glass hanging basket, which seemed to merge with the sky, and was a real restaurant in the clouds. A blonde maid went up to the terrace before him and pulled out a chair for Cheng Mo, and after Cheng Mo sat down, the maid asked, "Sir, what do you need to drink?"

"I don't think there's anything better than this cocktail for the beauty of the moment. ”

"Please wait. ”

The maid left the flat glass, Cheng Mo looked at the night scene of Athens, and thought to himself, Could it be that the big guys of the Black Death like to be scary? Doctor Charlie used a skull wine glass, and the demon god Beret specializes in treating fear of heights? Even if there is no fear of heights, eating on such a piece of glass without any support requires great courage, fortunately Cheng Mo is in a carrier state, otherwise he would not be so calm and calm.

Soon the maid brought the "cloud" cocktail made of marshmallows, Cheng Mo began to drink in the invincible night scene, a glass of wine was just drunk, the chef pushing the cart and the bartender who prepared the drink got on the flat glass, and when the chef was in place, Ayala also reappeared on the flat glass, with a clear "Lord Beret", Cheng Mo turned his head and saw a man wearing the white robe of an ancient Greek sage and wearing a golden metal mask was stepping through the door between the glass hanging basket and the building.

Cheng Mo also hurriedly stood up, and said respectfully when the other party arrived at the table: "Hello, Lord Beret." ”

Demon God Beret glanced at Cheng Mo and said in a strange metallic voice, "Hello, young trainee doctor. ”

Cheng Mo felt that the voice of the Demon God Beret had a kind of decadence in the steam age, like a sound through a voice changer, he glanced at the intricate patterns on the golden mask of the Demon God Beret, stroked his chest and bowed slightly, and said in a low voice: "It's an honor to be able to meet you." ”

"I'm also glad to have a chat with a thoughtful and insightful doctor....." Demon God Beret waved his hand, "Sit down!" After saying that, he walked over to the chair opposite Cheng Mo, and Ayala, who had been prepared a long time ago, gracefully opened the chair for the Demon God Beretla.

After Beret is seated, the chef in the white chef's top hat will begin to introduce what ingredients he has prepared, most of which are seafood, including yellowfin tuna, dover halibut, monkfish, and ..... In addition, there are various snacks, and the sommelier will start to introduce the wine attentively, and when Cheng Mo and the demon god Bailey finish the dishes and drinks, a maid will bring fresh ingredients and drinks.

When the chef lifted the lid on the trolley, revealing the silver stainless steel iron plate, the glass platform began to move, and Cheng Mo looked up slightly, and he could see that the yellow crane boom was slowly extending forward, bringing the entire twenty-square-meter glass platform away from the edge of the building, making them feel like they were on the clouds, truly suspended in mid-air......
