Chapter 49: The Monster and the Moonlight (15)
This familiar voice made Cheng Mo's heart sink, although he was prepared, he still did not expect that Napoleon VII, a careerist, would really put aside many urgent matters to be solved in Xila, and also crossed the tense maritime border between Xila and Turzi, and chased to the sea area near Ai and Isele.
Athena immediately sensed Cheng Mo's strange appearance, raised her hand and poked Cheng Mo's chest, and when Cheng Mo turned his head, she asked with her mouth, "Someone's coming?"
Cheng Mo nodded, listened a little, bowed his head to Athena's ear, put his hand to his mouth, and said in a very slight voice: "Napoleon VII himself is here." โ
Now Napoleon VII is still in the duty room, high enough and far enough from the main diesel crankcase, and the noise in the engine room is loud enough, as long as the sound waves are controlled in a certain direction and range, Cheng Mo does not have to worry about Napoleon VII who does not turn on the monitoring mode to hear.
The reason why Napoleon VII was sure that he would not use the surveillance mode was because the Chosen One relied mainly on a three-dimensional map to find hidden enemies. Assuming that the other party is the carrier, there will be an intuitive red dot on the 3D map, and there is no need to use monitoring or more powerful sonic skills. Assuming that the other party is the main body, then there will be thermal imaging, relatively speaking, the heat dissipation is relatively constant, and the sound wave dissipates very quickly, if the other party deliberately hides, it is difficult to search.
In general, when the opponent's location can be determined, the Listening Mode and Sonic Skills are better used to eavesdrop on conversations, and occasionally when facing opponents with stealth skills, they can also be used to find enemies. But such a use scenario is completely different, you must know that the information conveyed visually is much more accurate and intuitive than the auditory, and does not need to go through a lot of analysis, so the listening mode to search for enemies is actually more chicken. If it weren't for the fact that Cheng Mo and Athena didn't have Ulopolos, Cheng Mo wouldn't have used the monitoring mode, and the processing of sound wave information was too brain-consuming.
The reason why Cheng Mo was able to give early warning was because he had been infusing energy into the cochlea and listening to the direction of the duty room, because the position had already been locked, and there was no need for the enemy to cover his whereabouts, so it would be very easy to wait for the appearance of sound waves.
But no matter what, Cheng Mo opened his mouth to talk to Athena at this point in time, which took a lot of risks and increased the possibility of being discovered. According to Cheng Mo's character, he really shouldn't do this, but first, he firmly believes in his own judgment, and second, he has an inexplicable psychology at work.
Athena turned her head and looked puzzled and asked, "What's wrong with coming?"
This time Athena also made a sound, although the voice was also very soft, but her posture was not as careful as Cheng Mo at all.
At the moment when Cheng Mo made eye contact with Athena, he felt that the clear eyes poured straight into his heart like a clear spring, washing his soul like a waterfall, which made him feel that he was really a little dirty. He didn't have the courage to look at Athena, so he straightened his head, looked at the steel plate above his head, and thought to himself in some frustration: "Even if I lie down with Napoleon VII's fiancรฉe, what will I win against Napoleon VII? Napoleon VII can't keep Athena's heart, and I'm just a wreck who can't even keep my lover!"
Such a thought made Cheng Mo a little uneasy, and the enthusiasm ignited by Athena's delicate body suddenly cooled, and his heartbeat and breathing immediately stabilized. Feeling that Athena was still looking at him and waiting for his answer, Cheng Mo said in a voice as light as breathing: "Napoleon VII is a god general, he must be accompanied by a fleet, and now Sila and Turzi are on the verge of war, Napoleon VII is very irrational, and it can even be said that it is a little messy." In case Turqi misjudges that the Europa Alliance wants to unite with Sila to make a move against Turqi, Turqi is bound to completely throw himself into the lighthouse, which will make the Europa Alliance no longer have room for maneuver, and will definitely be deeply involved in the chaos between Sila and Turqi. Napoleon VII would certainly be happy to see Sila and Turzi fight, but he did not want Europa to be forced to choose a side to join, Napoleon VII's strategic intention was to promote peace and use Sila to threaten Turzi that there was no way to continue to disturb the Middle East, so that Asia Minor and the Middle East behind Europa could restore tranquility. But when he went out in person and chased him to the waters of Ai and Iselie with the aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle, it was very, very irrational, and even contrary to my perception of him......."
Athena let out a disapproving "OH" to show that she had no interest in politics and the international situation, and then asked, "What does this have to do with us?"
The word "we" made Cheng Mo's face slightly red, as if he was swept by the scorching evening breeze of summer, but at this time, Cheng Mo's feelings had been purified a lot by Athena's purity, so he said softly: "It has nothing to do with me, but it has something to do with you." โ
Athena was still confused, "What's the matter?"
Cheng Mo felt that Athena's woman's emotional intelligence was definitely negative, and he was speechless for a moment before he felt deeply sad for Napoleon VII, "It shows that Napoleon VII really cares about you." โ
Athena was also speechless, frowned and said, "Why does he care about me? I don't need his care." โ
Cheng Mo was shocked, "Aren't you his fiancรฉe?"
"I told him that I was just using him to complete the mission. And I also told him to his face that I was sorry, and I didn't kill him in the end, so what else do you want me to do?"
Athena's words made Cheng Mo's scalp tingle, and the remaining ember-like passion in his heart completely receded, and the peerless stunner beside him was not fragrant in an instant, not to mention holding Athena tighter at this time, even the courage to put his finger on Athena's shoulder disappeared.
"Why do you feel that your heart rate is not stable at all, fast and slow?" Athena asked suspiciously, "Also, what is your body shrinking?"
Cheng Mo didn't know how to explain, he couldn't jokingly say to Athena, "Could it be that Napoleon VII still has to thank you for not killing?", he now knows Athena well enough, knowing that she will definitely say that Napoleon VII should indeed thank her for not killing, Cheng Mo remembered Athena's "thirty meters" long black machete, fortunately Athena can't use it now.
After thinking about it, Cheng Mo still made a silent gesture, and said to Athena with a serious face: "Napoleon VII is about to come down." โ
So Athena temporarily gave up investigating the cause of Cheng Mo's physical changes, took out noise-canceling earbuds from her ears, and listened to the movement outside as carefully as Cheng Mo.
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
Cheng Mo was not lying, Napoleon VII and the butlers Maurice and Clotter Gaion had descended from the watch room to the lowest level of the entire cabin, that is, the heart of the engine room.
At sea, the ship could not stop sailing, but could only reduce its speed, so the ship's main diesel engine and main diesel crankshaft were working normally, still making a deafening roar in the cabin. For Cheng Mo, in order to hear the voice of Napoleon VII clearly in such a sound environment, he needs to concentrate without distraction.
Cheng Mo put aside his distractions, closed his eyes, first found the direction of the sound source, and then tried to lock the position, and finally the three of them stopped not far from the main diesel engine and no longer moved, so the collection of sound waves became easier, and the sound quality was no longer affected by the huge noise and stabilized.
"Your Highness, the environment here is not suitable for hiding people at all, and it seems that Miss Athena is indeed not on this ship. Maybe she left a long time ago, maybe in the direction of Cairo, or maybe it was through Cyprus to Turzi......"
This voice Cheng Mo also recognized, from the housekeeper Morris.
"I find it strange that, according to Captain Toulouse, they were completely annihilated by Miss Athena while they were tracking the ship. Then why did Miss Athena stay on this black ship that was transporting munitions? She obviously had many ways to get out of Sila......." This voice was completely unfamiliar to Cheng Mo, and Athena seemed to see through what he was thinking, and said with her mouth: "This is Clote Gaion." โ
Athena said the other party's name, and Cheng Mo recalled that he had seen this former official of the official residence of the god Ou Yu on the news program, and now a die-hard supporter of Napoleon VII. He was not surprised by the arrival of Cloe Gaion, but he was surprised that Athena could also hear the conversation outside. It's just that it's inconvenient to ask at the moment, and he guesses that it is most likely the lizardman's racial talent.
"I don't think it's surprising, considering that the port of Rafina is also the property of the Onassis family. Morris said.
"If you simply regard Miss Athena as the heir of the Onassis family, there is really no big problem, but Miss Athena is still the seventy-two demon gods of the Black Death, one of the four pillars of the supreme ....."
"So what's the matter? none of these identities are as important as being Her Highness's fiancรฉe. Morris's voice rose up.
"Your Highness, you are also in a difficult situation right now, and the gods will ...... The remnants of the former god Philip's party and the new capitalist aristocracy are in collusion, colluding with the stargate and preparing to attack you at all times, you must not be caught by them, let them know that Miss Athena is not only the master of the Hydra, but also the supreme four pillars of the Black Death, this will definitely become a political stain on you, and sometimes when you continue to suffer from it, I think you had better ......."
Before Cloe Gaion could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Morris, "Cloethe, those nouveau riche who don't understand etiquette are just mud legs who have made a little fortune! Considered a bullshit aristocrat!" After a pause, Morris sneered again, "Also, what Your Highness needs to teach you how to do it, not to mention that it is so easy to break off the relationship with Miss Athena now?And how can we announce the reason for the breakup to the public?"
"The point is that it is not a way to hide it now, many people have seen Miss Athena mercilessly split the 'Kolbe' in half, and the people on the ship, as long as they don't use the carrier, are basically all dead, and now we can still use the excuse of tracking the enemy in an extraordinary period to silence the surviving Chosen on the Kolbe, what should we do after this period of time has passed? Who can guarantee that the news will not be leaked?"
Hearing all this, Cheng Mo completely figured out why Napoleon VII came in person, and remembered that he had told Athena to ask her to disguise, but she ignored it completely, which made him very big. But now it is useless to complain about Athena, so he can only turn his head to look at Athena and prepare to give her a royal contempt, only to find that Athena is staring at him intently, and this eye is so focused that it is like a photographer looking at the lens in his hand with affection.
Athena's beauty inadvertently became more and more fascinating, and Cheng Mo was distracted for a moment, which was not a glance at each other at all, but it made him can't help but let his thoughts fly at such a critical juncture, and his heartbeat that had just calmed down became turbulent again.
At this moment, Athena raised her hand and gently tapped his chest, as if she had caught a glimpse of his wandering. Glancing at Athena, Cheng Mo quickly refocused his mind on the conversation outside.
"I think it has to be downplayed, it's not appropriate to say anything at this time, and the most important thing is to find Miss Athena first. Morris said.
"Miss Athena is not only the top of the Black Death, but also the heir of Onassis, and her strength is so strong that she has been at the top of the list for a long time, where can you find it if you want to......?"
"Cut, cut, do you know Miss Athena's relationship with Her Highness? Besides, I don't think it's all bad for Miss Athena to marry Her Highness, isn't the marriage of 'Black Death' and 'Ouyu' strong enough?"
"But the problem is that now the reputation of the 'Black Death' has become extremely bad! Everyone knows that it is the mastermind behind the domination of the 'shadow network', and it is involved in many criminal cases that it is extremely heinous and it is difficult to even ...... whitewashing."
"Do you think that making a cut now will not damage Your Highness's reputation? The whole world knows what a loving couple they used to be?
"Alright, stop arguing!" The long argument finally made Napoleon VII, who had always been patient and calm, unbearable, and he was silent for a while in the noise of the diesel engine, "Regardless of the choice, the priority now is to find Athena, and find the 'Lord of the Plague', as long as the 'Lord of the Plague' is caught, Astaro will help us solve the problem of the opposition, we are not good at doing it, they have no scruples about doing it, and then we only need to provide them with the necessary information." โ
"But it's been a long time since we've had a clue to the 'Lord of the Plague', and we don't even know who he is, so where to find him?" said Clot Gayon with a sigh.
Napoleon VII groaned and said: "It's not completely without clues......"
After saying this, Napoleon VII seemed to be in thought, and did not continue, Cheng Mo could only catch a few faint breaths from the noisy roar, and he wondered in his heart what made Astalous, one of the four pillars of the Black Death, want to capture him, he speculated that it must be the same reason as Athena wanted his "Lord of the Plague", but Athena did not tell him why.
Cheng Mo looked down at Athena who pillowed his head on his shoulder again, and the two looked at each other for a while, this time Athena seemed to understand what he was waiting for, and there was a dilemma in her eyes. Such an attitude is very rare in the straightforward Athena, it must be related to the organization of the "Black Death", Cheng Mo didn't want Athena to be embarrassed, so he smiled and said with his mouth: "It's okay." โ
Athena opened her mouth and was about to say something, but Cheng Mo heard Napoleon VII speak again, and he immediately looked up in the direction where Napoleon VII was speaking.
Napoleon VII paced back and forth a few steps, and whispered a shocking secret that had been hidden in his heart for a long time, "In fact, the 'Lord of the Plague' is Cheng Mo. โ
"Cheng Mo?"
Both Morris and Clott Gaion repeated Cheng Mo's name, but the tone of the two was completely different, Maurice Butler's tone was shocked, while Clott Gaion was very confused.
"Cheng Mo is the Chinese man who rushed to be the protagonist with the Clown Sith in Paris. โ
"Is it him?" said Clote Gaion.
Napoleon VII said lightly: "It's him, originally he almost became the protagonist, but unfortunately he was not just fighting with the Clown Sith, but with the Star Gate, Ou Yu and our Rosicrucian at the same time, even so, he almost changed his life against the sky, if I hadn't told Stern King the coordinates of Xie Minyun, Stern King directly ordered to use the 'Staff of God' to kill Xie Minyun, and now it is difficult for us to win the opportunity to fight left and right in the gap between Xingmen and Taiji Dragon......
Hearing the words of Napoleon VII, Cheng Mo was suddenly hit by five thunders, and his memory once again returned to the banks of the Seine, to the top of the Eiffel Tower in Paris, which had not yet fallen. He watched helplessly as the dark clouds above Xie Minyun's head were pierced by a beam of golden light, and the golden pillar of light was like a sharp arrow falling from the sky and plunged straight into the person he loved deeply.
The speed of that pillar of light was so fast, even in his "Absolute Realm".
He wanted to scream, but his mouth, nose and chest seemed to be filled with scorching sand, and not only could he not make a sound, but he also felt a heart-rending pain. Xie Minyun lowered his head and kissed him, but he couldn't move, so he could only let himself fall in despair, and then watched Xie Minyun be engulfed by the light.......
(BGM - "Yuan" cloud ใฎๆณฃ)
Cheng Mo had no idea that Xie Minyun's death had such a direct reason with Napoleon VII, and thinking that he had not only missed the opportunity to kill him in the end, but also made a deal with him, Cheng Mo's heart was strongly impacted by a complex sadness, which came from a continuous deep remorse, which made him unable to let go of the mistakes he had made.
The sharp pain stirred his heart into an origin, all his internal organs collapsed, his consciousness became blurred, he felt that he was already on the verge of madness or death, numbness could not solve the problem, the blood in his body was already boiling, his soul was about to explode, and his whole person had reached a critical point......
Cheng Mo sacrificed the "Seven Sins Sect", at this moment he only had the fire that burned everything in his head, anger made him lose his mind, even if it cost him his life, he wanted to kill Napoleon VII.
Just when the light of the "Seven Sins Sect" illuminated the mezzanine, Athena hugged Cheng Mo tightly, and she whispered in Cheng Mo's ear: "Don't be impulsive, Napoleon VII is the carrier, and you are sending you to death like this." โ
Athena's somewhat cold voice made Cheng Mo regain some senses, but the physical and mental pain did not ease in the slightest, and he slightly tilted his head to look at Athena in his arms. The Seven Sins Sect emitted a faint light in the dark and cramped space, and those lights were like fireflies, attracted by Athena's white and flawless face, jumping on her cheeks.
Cheng Mo rarely had the courage to dare to admire Athena's beauty so unscrupulously, but at this moment, his reason was long gone, and only an evil and depraved thought took root in the mouth of a black hole. He lowered his head, looking down at Athena with some greed and some resentment, he had never seen her so clearly, that was as perfect as Xie Minyun's appearance, to put it in his heart, Cheng Mo felt that Xie Minyun had not beaten Athena in terms of appearance when he had not taken God's genes.
This woman is really the limit of the unified Eastern and Western aesthetics, the contours of the face are sharp and soft, the golden hair is as soft as water, the nose is high and straight, especially the pair of eyes, not only deep, but also very bright, like a lake on the polar ice field reflecting the moonlight. Athena and Xie Minyun are equally exquisite, the difference is that Xie Minyun is more oriental clear and soft, with a spirit that does not eat the fireworks of the world, while Athena is more noble and cold, like a sword covered with frost, straight and elegant, exuding a natural and dangerous aura that cannot be approached by the living.
"Danger" is actually an extremely attractive thing, Cheng Mo was attracted by this extreme danger at this time, he first stared at Athena's lips, just looking at the sandalwood mouth that looked like a water chestnut, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, not cold at all, with a light color but a little tempting, under the light of the "Seven Sins Sect", there were wisps of streamer, which was finer than the ruby in the display case, and the color was more pure.
Her figure is difficult to compare even with a supermodel, not only is she tall, but the proportions of each part are definitely the same golden ratio as the character template. Slender and plump, but without any excess fat, firm and toned, exuding the charm of healthy youth, unlike those models who walk the catwalk, in order to lose weight, the thin ones have no healthy color and no healthy shape.
Athena's skin is also impeccable, generally speaking, Caucasian skin is always rougher, and freckles are easy to age, but Athena's skin is like a tooth-white brocade, fair, smooth, and slippery, so the cheap white T-shirt she bought in the supermarket is also gorgeous. In fact, with Athena's body and temperament, it doesn't matter what she wears, even if she is just wrapped in a rag sack, the smooth and seductive arc can make the rag sack a work of art.
Cheng Mo used to read history books, and felt that what was sinking the fish and falling into the geese, and what was the country and the city were all exaggerated, but later he found that there are really many women in the world who can afford such an evaluation, maybe because of luck, such an extremely rare beauty was met by him several times.
It's like Athena is definitely a well-deserved celebrity of the princes of the Beacon Theater, so that a brilliant god general like Napoleon VII can't care about his own safety and chase him to an extremely dangerous zone. Cheng Mo didn't know what kind of mood he was in when he looked at this face in his arms, he thought that maybe possessing her was also some way to destroy and take revenge on Napoleon VII.
Cheng Mo redirected his gaze from Athena's graceful and slender body line to her eyes, Athena's double eyelids were very wide, typical of European double eyelids, and the eyelashes were dense and long, like reeds on the shore of a lake. Of course, the best thing to look at is the two blue hole-like eyes embedded in the eye sockets, which also reflect countless stars. He remembered the night when his father took him to the suburbs to watch the stars, the cool breeze on the top of Tai Wai Mountain, the Mars hunting with the bonfire blowing on the side, he and his father lay side by side on the air mattress to watch the starry sky, just when his father thought it was too late and asked him to go into the tent to sleep, a meteor with a bright trail came suddenly.
It was the first time Cheng Mo saw a meteor, and it was still a fire meteor with extremely high brightness, dragging its huge tail through the sky in the starry darkness, so beautiful, so fast, after a moment, it disappeared into the distant horizon, leaving only a cloud-like aftermath, leaving only an endless aftertaste.
In retrospect, the process was just like how Athena felt to her. People can't help but greedily want to look at her a few more times, afraid that she will be fleeting from their pupils.
Cheng Mo closed his eyes for a moment, because Athena's beauty was like a rich nourishment, making the evil seed buried above the black hole-like heart grow into a thorn tree. At this moment, he became extremely conscious again, and at the same time extremely cold.
He looked down at Athena's bright and cold face, and raised his hand very domineeringly to rub it, this was the first time Cheng Mo touched Athena's cheek, and both of them were surprised.
Cheng Mo was surprised that the touch was so smooth.
And Athena was surprised that Cheng Mo dared to do this in this situation, she looked at Cheng Mo coldly, and there was murder in her eyes.
Cheng Mo didn't care about the risk of exposure, and whispered in Athena's ear: "I know why you can't practice the Book of Law, because you can't secrete adrenaline, dopamine and serotonin......" Cheng Mo didn't say that Athena might suffer from "high-energy depression", he knew that people with this disease were disgusted with the help of others, so he didn't say that he wanted to help Athena, but said, "I think we should find out the problem through experiments, there is no more suitable situation than the current situation." โ
Athena hesitated, didn't remove Cheng Mo's hand that was gently rubbing her cheek, and asked softly, "Why is this the most suitable situation right now?"
"Because it's dangerous enough right now, dangerous enough for both of us to lose our lives. As he spoke, Cheng Mo's fingers gently moved from the side of Athena's cheek to the corner of Athena's eye, and his movements were very reverent and light, as if he was really doing an experiment that could not be missed.
Athena didn't speak, nor did she stop Cheng Mo's movements.
So Cheng Mo's hand caressed Athena's lips along the side of Athena's goddess sculpture-like face, although he was in a desperate situation, he would die if he was not careful, Cheng Mo could not hide the throbbing in his heart, his body trembled slightly, and the double happiness of revenge and desire satisfaction made his emotions about to climb to the highest peak.
Because Cheng Mo's fingers touched her lips, Athena seemed to be nervous, her eyelashes trembled twice, and her red lips tightened, although she didn't show resistance, she was a little nervous, her body was straight, and she didn't move.
"The news received from Taijilong is that Stern King forced Brigadier General Sarkozy to pass the coordinates to the stargate, and Brigadier General Sarkozy is now dead. All in all, no one will know that it was me who gave the order. Now we can take advantage of the fact that Cheng Mo must seek revenge from Xingmen to set a trap, and now he also has a Russian subordinate in Paris, as long as we contact him, we are not afraid that he will not take the bait, and we have cooperated several times, he will not be so wary of me, like he would never have thought that I told Stern ...... the coordinates of Xie Minyun"
Napoleon VII's warm jade voice reached Cheng Mo's ears, Cheng Mo's hand suddenly stopped, his body stiffened, he came back to his senses, first kissed Athena's forehead, and then followed the trajectory of his fingers, slowly encroaching on Athena's gorgeous and delicate lips.......
