Chapter 530: Mary's Thoughts
Going to Antarctica is not a very simple matter, it takes time to mobilize resources and find people, but Duanmu Huai is not in a hurry, anyway, it is not something that can be done in a day or two.
On the contrary, he is in a hurry now.........
"Why am I here to see this........."
Sitting on the chair in the VIP room of the Lyceum Theater, bored watching the performance on the stage below, Duanmu Huai couldn't help but want to yawn.
Opera, drama, Peking opera, these are all things that Duanmu Huai can't appreciate. Listening to the tone of the actors on the stage, he felt a headache.
Fortunately, the play has come to an end, and finally, the curtain slowly falls, and the theater resounded with cheerful applause.
Including Lorena and Mary beside her, they are also applauding desperately at the moment.
"Whew......... It's finally over. β
Duanmu Huai yawned, then sat up and clapped his hands boredly.
"Didn't Mr. Duanmu like this drama?"
Seeing Duanmu Huai's expression, Mary also asked curiously.
"This is the writer Braim. Adapted by Stoker, by Henry. What a masterpiece that Owen performed! β
"A layman like me can't appreciate this thing."
Duanmu Huai waved his hand helplessly, and sighed secretly when he looked at Mary's glowing eyes, it seems that Mary is just an ordinary little girl from the Star Chaser clan......... There's nothing wrong with that.
"If he comes to the third hall to interrogate Galileo, maybe he can still see it, how can Romeo and Juliet change it like that? There is a similar story in my hometown, which is more romantic than this, and after death, they both turned into butterflies. β
As he spoke, Duanmu Huai stood up.
"Alright, let's go, the show is over, and we should go home."
Duanmu Huai originally didn't want to come to see this opera, but who called Lorena lucky and won the VIP ticket, and there were three more, adhering to the spirit of not wasting, Duanmu Huai also called Mary. Unexpectedly, as soon as the eldest lady heard that she was going to the Lyceum Theater to enjoy the opera performed by the little white face named Henry, she was as excited as if she had seen many star chasers in Leon.
Originally, Duanmu Huai also thought that he would take the opportunity to edify and taste the elegant art, but the result was .........
Forget it, it's still Mr. Mikami who is more in line with my taste, and sure enough, the paper man is still better looking than the Mona Lisa, and that's it for this life.
So Duanmu Huai experienced an hour or two of half-asleep in the theater, which was almost the most painful memory of his life.
Duanmu Huai also secretly swore that he would never come to appreciate these things again after beating himself to death, no different from Peking Opera or something, babbling and babbling, hey, hey, I have a headache when I listen to it, and it's full of some love and love without illness moaning.........
It's not my fault that I can't stand "Dream of Red Mansions" and can only watch "The Legend of the West Chamber".
So Duanmu Huai was bored and tired, while Lorena and Mary were happily talking about the opera in front. It seems that the Holy City also has a similar performance, so Lorena is much more receptive to this than Duanmu Huai, although she doesn't know the starring role, and she doesn't have a star halo, but if she just discusses the plot, she is still very enthusiastic.
How can I say it, girls really like these things about love.
Looking at the two girls who were discussing in front of him, Duanmu Huai also sighed silently. Only in this respect, he and the others are completely incompatible, whether it is Ann and Gurea, or Lorena and Marie, he really can't understand the sensuality of women's love.
Arriving at the station, Lorena went to buy a ticket for Mary, while Duanmu Huai and Mary stood aside and waited. At this time, Mary seemed to have recovered from the excitement of seeing the big star's performance before, and looked at Duanmu Huai curiously.
"Mr. Duanmu, don't you really like this kind of drama?"
"Strictly speaking? Yes. β
"Huh? Why? β
Hearing Duanmu Huai's answer, Mary couldn't help but be stunned, and Duanmu Huai glanced at her.
"For you girls, this kind of love that only sees each other must be very romantic, for each other's destiny, whether it is death or destruction, it doesn't care, and only wants to be with each other, isn't it?"
"Indeed......... Isn't that possible? β
"It doesn't matter if it's just a thought, but for the Inquisitor, this deep love can only bring trouble and trouble."
Duanmu Huai snorted coldly.
"Think about it, Mary, Romeo was so sad by Juliet's death that he was willing to poison himself, right? So, if in front of the desperate Romeo, a demon appears and says that as long as Romeo is willing to make a pact with it and destroy the world, then it will resurrect Juliet, then what will Romeo choose? β
"This ..............."
Hearing this, Mary finally reacted, for Duanmu Huai, this is more than just a story.
So, as Duanmu Huai said, how will Romeo choose?
The world has prevented him from falling in love with Juliet, so if there really is a demon who trades with him, will Romeo choose to trade?
Use this world as a bargaining chip to resurrect your lover?
"The sins of obsession are all led by infatuation, and the end of infatuation is to be used by others, and finally become a chess piece."
Duanmu Huai snorted coldly.
"So, don't be too desperate, take 10,000 steps back, if Romeo doesn't love Juliet as much, then he won't be so eager to take poison and commit suicide when he sees Juliet fake his death, and it won't end up being a tragedy."
Speaking of this, Duanmu Huai also glanced at Mary.
You also have to remember that not everything in the name of love can be forgiven. Even Romeo and Juliet, if they dare to destroy the world for their own selfishness, I will never show mercy to them. β
"Hahh..............."
Hearing Duanmu Huai's speech, Mary nodded blankly, she always felt that Duanmu Huai seemed to mean something to herself, but ......... Does this have anything to do with you?
It's just a play.........
"Ah, it's Mary!"
At this moment, suddenly, two energetic voices were heard not far away, and Mary turned her head to see two small children running curiously towards her from the other side of the street.
"Long time no see, Maryβββ!"
As he spoke, the two children stretched out their hands, looking like they wanted Mary to hug them, and Mary also subconsciously bent over, and then ......... She hurriedly turned around and dodged the two of them. And the two children who were avoided by Mary were not depressed, but showed a mischievous smile.
"It's Mary, I didn't expect to be so agile, are you really that dull Mary?"
"Hmph, I'm not the same person I used to be."
Looking at the two children, Mary also showed a smug smile, after all, she also had the confidence to be proud, after being trained by Lorena in Sparta, Mary's speed and reaction were much stronger than before. Therefore, the pranks of the two little devils are no longer in her eyes.
"You two are still the same, how are you doing?"
"That's good."
Hearing Mary's inquiry, the boy nodded.
"The business is not bad, and he is also working under a very powerful master, which is very profitable."
"Looks like I'm as capable as ever, so I'll rest assured, Kainz, Ellie."
Looking at the boy and girl in front of her, Mary also smiled slightly. The two children were not her younger siblings, but street children, whom Mary had known because of some things and had since become good friends.
And at this moment, the two children also saw Duanmu Huai, who was standing not far away, looking at this side, and immediately hid behind Mary in fright.
"Wow, Mary, who is he?"
"Ah, he's ......... Mr. Duanmu, although he looks fierce, is actually a good person. β
At this time, Mary was also in a hurry to introduce the two sides.
"Mr. Duanmuhuai, these two children are Kainz and Ellie, they are my friends........."
"That's right."
Duanmu nodded, and then he crouched down and looked at the two children.
"Hello, hmm........."
Halfway through speaking, Duanmu Huai paused, then reached into his arms and took out a few bills.
"When we meet for the first time, we don't have any gifts for you, so let's buy some things you like, as a thank you for taking care of Mary."
"Wooh."
Taking the banknote from Duanmu Huai's hand, the two homeless children widened their eyes in surprise, but soon, they immediately took the money and carefully put it in their arms, and then the boy led by him patted his chest with a smile.
"Don't worry, sir, we won't let Mary suffer."
As he spoke, he looked at Mary.
"Really, Sister Mary, I've become a rich man's lover, so I'll say it sooner."
"yes, yes, Mary is really out of sight. If you said it earlier, we'll have some presents ready. β
"Huh?"
Hearing the speeches of the two little ghosts, Mary's face suddenly turned red.
"Cai, Cai is not βββ!"
However, before she could finish speaking, the two little imps turned around and ran away.
"Woo..............."
Watching the two imps disappear into the alley, Mary was also speechless for a while. But......... Kainz's words gave her a wake-up call.
Mr. Duanmu and I seem to outsiders, is this kind of relationship?
Thinking of this, Mary quietly glanced at Duanmu Huai, although she usually went out with Duanmu Huai, but because the latter used that strange ability, ordinary people couldn't see him. So Mary didn't really think much about it, but now that she thought about it, it was a schoolgirl in her prime who was in the middle of the night with a tall man in a fancy costume on the street......... It doesn't seem like an ordinary relationship that can be explained.
If Ashelica saw it, she would definitely think that Mr. Duanmu was a bad person.
Thinking of Ashelika, Mary also had a little headache, during this time, because she often went to Duanmu Huai, she was also asked by Ashie who she was meeting with, what kind of person the other party was, and so on......... Although I have been confused every time, I ......... Hey, I don't think we'll meet.
Thinking of this, Mary retracted her thoughts and looked ahead again.
Only this time, she felt her heartbeat seem to speed up a little.
Maybe it's the same as before, I'm scared.
