In a quiet, dark room.

Zhang Huaisheng suddenly felt a gentle tap on his shoulder, and without thinking, he rolled forward, and then looked back.

The room was still empty, except for the Mona Lisa's smile hanging from the wall, which was slowly expanding—and now, it seemed to be the Mona Lisa's sneer.

Zhang Huaisheng turned his back to the wall and slowly stepped back.

He tried not to focus his eyes on the painting, but even when the corner of his eye swept by, Zhang Huaisheng's impression of the painting was deepening.

Even if you close your eyes, this painting seems to appear in your mind, and it is delicate.

Gan!

This is the first time that Zhang Huaisheng has been unable to fully control his thinking since he was promoted to "dictatorship", and the more he wants to empty his brain, the more obvious the painting becomes.

The black-gauze woman in the painting has a more pronounced curvature at the corners of her mouth, and even grinning, revealing sharp fangs.

Dimensional space, invalid!

Werewolf transformation, invalid!

All abilities are invalidated.

He's just an ordinary person at the moment.

The strong sense of fear even made Zhang Huaisheng feel an impulse to break through the wall to escape.

But he suppressed the urge so hard that his teeth bit his lip and the sharp pain awakened his mind from descent into madness.

The black gauze woman in the painting is weathered, and her skin begins to decay and shrivele.

The eye sockets are deeply sunken and the hair becomes dry.

Sharp fangs protrude from the corners of the mouth.

Her crossed hands suddenly lifted, stretched out her sharp claws, and in the blink of an eye, she broke free from the shackles of the picture frame and pounced on Zhang Huaisheng.

"Enough, Mona Lisa!"

With a cold snort, the strange atmosphere in the metal room receded like a tide in an instant.

Looking at the painting again, it is still the woman with a calm smile, dignified and elegant.

Everything I saw just now seemed to be just an illusion.

Suddenly there were ripples on the walls.

The chubby king came into the room in full costume with a tiara.

The smile on his face was very kind, very different from Charlie's "increasingly irritable father".

"Scares you, huh? Oh, this is a little humor that Mr. Finch left to our descendants, it's hard to imagine, right? An artistic giant like him will still have this kind of bad taste. ”

"Indeed."

Zhang Huaisheng thought so.

He felt like he was in prostration, and if it were reality, he would be sweating profusely, but he could feel that his body wasn't responding like that.

Because this body actually does not belong to Zhang Huaisheng, he is only conscious here.

"You're not Joseph."

Zhang Huaisheng opened his mouth to explain, but before he could speak, he was interrupted by Louis XVI.

"You don't have to explain, in fact, you didn't mean to hide it from me on purpose, and the reason why we were all wrong was because of Joseph's will."

Louis XVI smiled bitterly: "His only obsession is to send us away, and he chose you." ”

If Zhang Huaisheng really wanted to play Joseph, he would definitely not say those words that obviously did not match his identity.

But this is not because he respects the "king" or the "dead", but because he thinks he can be born again, so he speaks freely.

"I knew from the beginning that he did not have the courage to confront me, nor to say those words, nor to smash my armor with the ferocity of the destroyer for the first time," said Louis XVI. ”

"He's a good boy who loves art and literature, just isn't fit to be a king... Although he has long since lost the inheritance of the crown. ”

Louis XVI's expression was a little depressed, the long "life" after his death did not wear out his emotions, he was more like a normal person than Charles, the Marquis de la Haire.

And Zhang Huaisheng just silently listened to Louis XVI's whispers, he seemed to belittle his son, but there was love for his son in his words.

"There are many things you say, in fact, I understand that the people hate me because I have become the representative of those parasites who ride on the heads of the people and suck their blood."

"And Mary took me and taxed the people to make up for the shortfall... How ridiculous, the aristocracy and the big capitalists are obviously rich and rival the country, but they don't have to pay taxes, and the common people are already so poor, but they still have to raise taxes. ”

"We dare not bully the aristocracy and capitalists, but we ignore the power of the commoners, thinking that they are easy targets for bullying, and finally incur such consequences."

Louis XVI's face was a little dazed: "How good it would be if you were really Joseph, you would definitely be able to be a good crown prince, and not let the situation collapse to the point of the latter." ”

"Your Majesty, I am only standing on the shoulders of giants. If I were your son, I wouldn't have done better than His Highness Joseph. ”

Louis XVI glanced at Zhang Huaisheng with some surprise, and then asked, "In reality, you are a Frenchman?" Who arranged for you to live in Iris Street? ”

"No, I'm a Donghua Chinese."

"Donghua..."

Louis XVI said thoughtfully: "It was a mysterious and powerful ancient country in the East, when the Spaniards were at their peak, they wanted to form a fleet and go on expeditions, but they were defeated and lost. ”

Again, this is something that has not happened in a previous life.

In fact, it was normal, Spain looked at Luzon, and Nanyang was the sphere of influence of the Donghua Dashun Dynasty at that time, and it was normal for the two to clash.

It was just that Spain, which had just replaced the Ming Dynasty at that time, was not the opponent of the Dashun Dynasty that had just replaced the Ming Dynasty at that time, the Northern Expedition to Houjin, the Southern Expedition to Dayue, and the Dashun Dynasty.

Although Luzon was still lost later, at least at that time, Dashun still had a prestige in the world.

"I don't know who arranged for us to live in Rue d'Iris, maybe it's your Bourbon royal family, or maybe it's the royal family of Orleans, the Bonaparte dynasty, the government of the Third Republic..."

Zhang Huaisheng paused slightly, and said: "I am currently in an independent group of Gaelic people, perhaps because of hostility to the British, they allowed us to take refuge in Iris Street. ”

"Those are probably the descendants of the Bourbons, who have seldom seen me lately, except for some 'works' that have been taken from me."

"After all, it was I who lost the crown of my family's France, and it is normal for them to resent me."

A wry smile appeared on Louis XVI's face, in the heyday of the Bourbon royal family, it had three crowns of Spain, France, and Italy, and now only Spain remains.

Spain, on the other hand, seems to be a big country, but in fact it is already in decline. The internal conflict is sharp, the people are impoverished, and the power of the church is deeply entrenched, and it is completely the tail of the crane of the great powers.

The rule of the Bourbon royal family in Spain was also not stable.

"Finally, there is Spain, and there is still a chance to make a comeback."

Zhang Huaisheng couldn't help but comfort.

Although he believes that the time has come for a rotten monarchy to be swept into the garbage - unless he is born a monarch.

The ass determines the position, and the betrayal of his class is always more hateful than the enemy.

Just like many spiritual capitalists in later generations, they are still the object of exploitation, but they want to advocate for the capitalists, hoping that one day they can ride on the heads of the common people and make a fortune.

Historical experience tells us that such people will not end well.

"I hope so."

Louis XVI sighed: "Actually, I have long lost those ambitions, and the reason why I have been reluctant to leave for a long time is partly because of the machinery I love, and on the other hand, because I would rather go on like this, at least I can see Charles and Joseph... Although I know it's not a long-term solution. ”

"Alas, I've always been so cowardly, always worried about making bad decisions and letting things get worse."

Zhang Huaisheng agreed with Louis XVI's self-criticism.

He said: "Your affection for the two crown princes is admirable. ”
