Chapter 51: The Monster and the Moonlight (17)

Cheng Mo's actions and words did not surprise Athena at all, she seemed to have foreseen Cheng Mo's plan, and when Cheng Mo wanted to open the secret door, she hugged his neck and didn't let him get up, and then she raised her head and whispered in Cheng Mo's ear: "I know what you want to do, but the chance is really not big, believe me." ”

Cheng Mo was startled, and was about to speak, but he felt numb and couldn't move at all, as if he had fallen into the deep sea, he felt the light gradually shrink in his pupils, and Athena's silent face was getting farther and farther away from him, just like the nightmare when Xie Minyun left him. He wanted to scream, but he felt that he could not exert his strength, and then his eyes went black, and he lost consciousness.

Athena carefully placed the unconscious Cheng Mo on the deck, looked down at his sleeping face and thought: Is there such a thing as love in the world? If so, why would he kiss me? If not, why would he rather put himself in a desperate situation and seek an opportunity to kill Napoleon VII?

The complexity of human emotions is a math problem that Athena has never been able to prove.

Recalling everything that had just happened, she felt a strange feeling beating like a pulse in her heart, and she remembered that there was a word called "heartstrings", which she didn't quite understand at first, but at this moment she seemed to have an understanding.

She remembered that she had followed her mother back to Paris, that she had left the island for the first time in her life, that she had seen so many people for the first time, that she had seen a bustling metropolis for the first time, and that she had no excitement in her heart, as if she had experienced it countless times, and everything was nothing so rare that it was not even worth a few more glances.

She lacks interest in everything.

Later, her mother asked her if she would like to spend some time with her father, and she said that it didn't matter, so he came to pick her up.

Just now when Cheng Mo recalled that he said goodbye to his father, she also remembered the scene when she was separated from her mother, it was really a coincidence, her mother, who never knew how to cook, made a dessert herself, but her mother didn't say it. She still remembers the day when her mother explained to her for a long time what she was studying, until her father came over.

The mother took her by the hand and escorted her to the door, saying that she would pick her up when she was done, and she got into the back seat of the extended bulletproof car without looking back.

To this day, she still occasionally wonders if she should have turned back, at least to look at her mother a few more times, and to see what her mother was thinking.

The black bulletproof car drove past the sunny Champs-Γ‰lysΓ©es, and her father kindly asked her what she wanted to buy, what she wanted to eat? She just shook her head, she had never asked anyone for anything since she was born.

At that time, she thought, not now, not in the future.

After spending a short time in Paris, his father took him to New York, where he had a manor house where most of the Onassis family lived. Because of her arrival, the manor hosted a grand reception in which all the members of the Onassis family and those close to her were gathered, everyone with a smile on their faces, golden crystal lights shining like the sun above the high dome, scarlet curtains hanging low on either side of the wooden lattice windows, the stars and the moon and the sea of trees in the twilight scene, she stood beside her father on the spiral staircase, people in gowns toasted her blessings, countless gifts piled up, the band played cheerful music, and her brother invited her to dance, and the people applauded and cheered.......

But when her brother bent down and bowed his head, she only felt the cold.

She could read the deep disgust in her brother's mind, similar to the feeling of wanting to attack the powerful wild animals of the forest when they invaded their territory.

She clearly read the intention of the attack, so she directly raised her knee and slammed it into her brother's head, and the brother who was caught off guard fell to the sky with a nosebleed, foaming at the ground and convulsing like a prey shot.

There was silence for a moment, and then someone screamed, it was my brother's mother, who ran towards him with her expensive dress. She hesitated whether to pick up the silver steak knife on the table and slit the woman's throat.

She didn't resent the woman's screams, she just read the killing intent in the woman's anger.

She turned her head to look at the table covered with a white tablecloth, the serrated teeth of the steak knife shining and sharp enough, and the woman's neck was so slender and fragile that even a deer could compare to it.

"One knife is enough. She thought, but she didn't have a chance to do it after all, so she was dragged away by her father.

"Why?"

Her father's voice was serious and incomprehensible, but she was not afraid at all, she was never afraid of anything, and she was not keen on lying, so she said directly: "He is hostile to me, and when he is a prey in the forest, he will show his neck, don't hesitate, or the next second he will attack your abdomen with sharp horns." ”

My father was a little surprised and asked, "Your mother said that you can read other people's minds to be true?"

She nodded.

"Can you read exactly what's going on in the other person's mind?" the father paused and then asked, "For example, what am I thinking now, can you read it?"

She looked up at her gray-haired father and said calmly, "No, I can only read the general content when the other party's brain wave activity is relatively strong." ”

Her father nodded and patted her on the shoulder, "Don't tell anyone about this." ”

She nodded again.

"Didn't your mother tell you about it?"

"Nope. She said.

The father didn't speak, and only squatted down after sending her into the room, and whispered: "Actually, don't see what other people are thinking, it will be happier, so don't use it if you can." ”

"Good. She said.

Her father touched her hair and told her to play by herself, she closed the door and sat on the edge of the bed, there were no study tasks assigned by her mother in the room, only Barbie dolls, puppets, pianos, kitchen toys, laptops...... It was boring to her, so she sat upright on the edge of the bed, staring out the window motionless, but there were no birds in the woods for her to count, but it didn't matter, she was used to a boring and empty life.

She watched the lights get dimmer and the music went out, the people faded away, and she didn't know how long it was, when the sky suddenly began to snow, and that was the first time she had seen snow, and countless snowflakes fell from the black hole in the sky, like countless flying feathers. I don't know why she felt some vague longing in her heart, she jumped out of bed and walked out to the terrace outside the room, the green plants shivered in the wind and snow, she walked barefoot to the swing, she stood on it and swung herself as high as a shelf, she felt like she was covered with white feathers, turned into a bird, and flew in the snow.

For the first time, she felt that the world was not so boring, and there were not many things in this world that could make her feel less boring, except for swinging when it snowed, swimming in the ocean, math, physics, and making robots........

and experiments with my mom.

Now there are a few more things, drinking Coke, watching "Crayon Xiaoxin", chopping vegetables, eating hot pot, cross out the hot pot! After all, Cheng Mo said that grilled fish is not hot pot.

In the end, he was with Cheng Mo.

Athena looked at Cheng Mo's eyes in a trance, so the movements of raising her hand seemed light, as if she was unconsciously touching Cheng Mo's lips. But in fact, she was very focused on recalling the feeling when Cheng Mo kissed herself just now, like swinging in the snow, she didn't know if it was happy, she only knew that her brain was filled with something, and she didn't have to think about anything, it was like a blank dream, which made people full of comfort and relaxation.

However, Napoleon VII did not give Athena time to reminisce, and he exclaimed: "If you don't come out, I'll force the deck open!"

Athena took her eyes off Cheng Mo's face, she picked up the T-shirt that Cheng Mo threw aside, and put on her coat, only when Napoleon VII's footsteps approached, she said coldly: "It's me." ”

"Athena?" Napoleon VII's tone was full of surprise, "what are you hiding underneath?"

Athena ignored Napoleon VII's inquiry, and just said coldly: "You get out of the way, I'm coming out." ”

Napoleon VII replied "yes".

Athena climbed to the exit of the dark level, opened the complex trap lock, pushed open the secret door, and crawled out of it. Napoleon VII hurriedly walked over and tried to pull her up, but Athena didn't even glance at his hand, just turned around and slammed the secret door shut, and stepped on it tightly.

Before Athena closed the secret door, Napoleon VII secretly glanced inside, but saw nothing, and then looked at Athena and asked a little worriedly: "Why are you hiding? Don't you even want to see me now?"

Athena didn't look at Napoleon VII, but just looked at Maurice and Cloe Gaion behind Napoleon VII, and said lightly: "You don't want to hear me tell the truth." ”

"Will you go back with me?"

Napoleon VII reached out to grab Athena's arm, Athena frowned and took a lightning step back, avoiding Napoleon VII's hand, and said coldly: "You have destroyed my laboratory, what else do you want?"

Napoleon VII put down his empty hand with some disappointment, and said earnestly: "I didn't touch your laboratory, it's still in the Hydra Mansion, as long as you want, you can go back at any time, even Hydra I can return it to you." ”

"You mean to let me leave the Black Death as your subordinate?"

"Oh, dear Athena, it would be best if you were willing, but if you don't, I won't force you. ”

"Since you won't force me, then what are you chasing me now? Isn't it good to let me go? You know mine, I don't like to have emotional entanglements with anyone at all. Perhaps it's because the left side of the brain is in charge of mathematics, while the right side is in charge of emotions and expression. And I'm a left-brained woman......."

"Don't say everything so absolutely, I think we should try, if you really don't think it's okay, I won't force you. Napoleon VII raised his right hand and said earnestly, "God bear witness that I will not lie to you." ”

Athena was silent for a moment, and said expressionlessly, "I'll give you a chance." ”

Napoleon VII smiled, "Then let's go." ”

"You go ahead. ”

Napoleon VII turned and walked forward, Maurice and Clott Gaion leading the way, Athena following at the end, staring closely at Napoleon VII's back, and she never looked back.

The four of them quickly passed through the engine room, and as they turned up the stairs, Napoleon VII looked back at the position of the main diesel crankcase, and saw that Athena was looking at him, so he smiled at Athena again, and said softly: "If only you are willing to go back with me." ”

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

I don't know how long it took, Cheng Mo woke up in a nightmare, he sat up from the bed suddenly, only to feel weak, he looked left and right, it was dark outside the window, and he didn't know when it was, only the tray on the porthole that he had embedded in reflected the faint light.

When this shallow light illuminated Cheng Mo's eyes, the sound of rain and waves around him suddenly became louder.

Only then did Cheng Mo determine that he was indeed on the "Mediterranean Overture", not on the "Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier", he propped his forehead and exhaled heavily, his mind was full of the nightmare just now.

He dreamed that his plan was going well, and Napoleon VII trembled when he saw himself and Athena, but because he had not found his "Ulopolos" and had to hand himself over to Astalous, he could not kill him, so he had to arrest him. So he was taken to the aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle, and he easily entered the interior of the enemy.

In the dream, he was locked in a confinement cell, but none of this was a problem for him with the Seven Sins Sect. In the middle of the night, he managed to escape the confinement chamber and infiltrate Napoleon VII's room.

Napoleon VII's room was in a room with a wide view, the interior was very luxuriously decorated, not at all like being on an aircraft carrier, he walked behind Napoleon VII with bated breath, the moonlight was like a wash, shining through the glass window on the wooden floor, showing two dark shadows.

At that time, Napoleon VII's heart was close at hand, he was so excited that he trembled, and even the hand holding the "Seven Sins" trembled a little, and just when he was about to insert the "Seven Sins" into Napoleon VII's heart, Athena suddenly stopped in front of him.

Originally, he should have taken the "Seven Sins Sect" without hesitation, but he hesitated, and at this moment, Napoleon VII, who was sitting on the sofa chair, turned to him and sneered: "I knew you would come......"

Cheng Mo opened his eyes again, leaving the nightmare behind, he thought about it carefully, and then remembered that he seemed to be stunned by what skill Athena used in the end, Cheng Mo guessed that Athena had been able to intercept energy with his body, he had to admire Athena's IQ, and at the same time it was extremely strange, how could Athena know that she was trying to let Napoleon VII capture herself, and then wanted to use the information asymmetry that her own body could also intercept energy to kill Napoleon VII's plan.

In fact, it doesn't matter if you know this, I'm afraid that Athena also knows that she also took advantage of her feelings and wants to tie her to her chariot, and she will have to help herself when the time comes.......

In any case, Athena must have known something to stop herself from making such a risky plan, but Cheng Mo felt that this was indeed his best choice, even if there was Uroboros, he didn't have such a good opportunity. Now, because of the fact that Astaro, Athena, and themselves do not have Uroboros, an opportunity is created that is not a chance.

Even Napoleon VII, no matter how cautious, would not have been overly wary of him without Urobolos, so it seemed to him that the chances of his success were not low. Being able to take revenge and kill a god general, as long as the success rate reaches fifty percent, it's worth a try.

But now there is no need to think so much, it is unrealistic to go back to Napoleon VII. More importantly, without Athena, where would he go?

Cheng Mo got up and sat on the edge of the bed, first looked at the clock hanging on the wall, and found that thirteen hours had passed, from early morning to night, and he had been in a coma for at least ten hours.

At this time, Athena and Charles de Gaulle should still be in the sea area, and Cheng Mo felt that his thinking was so chaotic, mainly because Athena's somewhat cold and pitiful face always flashed back in his brain. He has always been decisive, but he doesn't know what to do now.

He sat on the edge of the bed and was anxious, but he accidentally saw that Athena's black backpack was not taken away, but still on the chair, he walked over and unzipped it, the money was still there, the laptop was still there, and even the black box containing Uroboros was still there, he took out the black box, originally wanted to see if he could open it, but then stuffed it back into the backpack.

He sat on the couch where Athena curled up in it every day, and was stunned for a while, before realizing that he was not afraid that Athena would know that she had taken advantage of her favor, but that she would be disappointed in him if she knew.

Cheng Mo's heart tightened, he quickly got up, approved a piece of clothing and walked out of the room, quickly ran to the door of Captain Omero's room, waved his fist and slammed the door, "Bang, bang, bang" The sound of slamming the door was extremely loud in the shower, and soon Captain Omero's impatient roar sounded in the room: "It's coming! It's coming! What's the matter? Can you let me sleep well?" When he came to the door, Captain Omero asked, "Who?"

"Me. Cheng Mo said in a deep voice.

Captain Omero hurriedly opened the door, he looked at Cheng Mo's immature face and was stunned for a moment, and then said flatteringly: "Mr. Rekcka, what do you have to order?"

"That..... My companion ......"

"Miss Athena went with His Royal Highness Napoleon VII. Captain Omero said directly, he sighed, "Young man, the story between the princess and the poor boy is fake, in reality, the princess is with the prince, not to mention that the other party is not a prince, but an emperor, give up!" He patted Cheng Mo on the shoulder and said with a sympathetic face, "Give up!"

Cheng Mo put Captain Omero's right hand on his shoulder, and asked expressionlessly, "Did she say anything when she left?"

Captain Omero was quite unimpressed by Cheng Mo's impolite behavior, and just shook his head sympathetically: "No, just hinting at me, asking me to get you out of the darkness." ”

Cheng Mo nodded with some disappointment, turned around and walked towards his room.

Captain Omero said loudly behind his back: "Young man, there is nothing to regret, for us ordinary people, to have such an experience is enough to cherish for a lifetime." They are not the ....... of the same world as us."

Cheng Mo ignored Captain Omero, only to hear him say after closing the door: "How can this Athena take a fancy to such an Asian? There is no way to compare with His Royal Highness Napoleon VII!

Captain Omero's complaint made Cheng Mo's mind flash, and he ran quickly towards the room, and the entire corridor was filled with his hurried and heavy footsteps.......
