Chapter 51 The Broken World (17)(1/2)
Cheng Mo's actions and words did not surprise Athena at all. She seemed to have predicted Cheng Mo's plan. When Cheng Mo wanted to open the secret door, she hugged his neck to prevent him from getting up. Then she raised her head
He nodded and whispered in Cheng Mo's ear: "I know what you want to do, but the chance is really slim. Trust me."
Cheng Mo was startled and was about to speak, but he felt numb all over and couldn't move at all, as if he had fallen into the deep sea. He felt the light gradually shrinking in his pupils, and Athena's silent face became closer and closer to him.
It was getting farther and farther away, just like the nightmare when Xie Minyun left him. He wanted to shout, but he felt that he couldn't use the strength. Then his vision went dark and he lost consciousness.
Athena carefully placed the unconscious Cheng Mo on the deck, looked down at his sleeping face and thought: Is there really such a thing as love in the world? If so, why did he kiss me? If not, why did he kiss me?
Would you rather put yourself in a desperate situation and seek an opportunity to kill Napoleon VII?
The complexity of human emotions is a mathematical problem that Athena has never been able to prove.
Recalling everything that had just happened, she felt a strange emotion deep in her heart beating like a pulse. She remembered that there was a word called "heartstring". She didn't quite understand the meaning of this word at first, but she seemed to understand it at this moment.
.
She remembered that she had returned to Paris with her mother. It was the first time in her life that she had left the island, the first time she had seen so many people, the first time she had seen the bustling metropolis. There was no excitement in her heart, as if she had experienced it before.
Countless times, nothing was surprising, not even worth a second glance.
She lacks interest in everything.
Later, her mother asked her if she wanted to stay with her father for a while. She said it didn't matter, so her father came to pick her up.
Just now when Cheng Mo recalled saying goodbye to his father, she also recalled the scene when she and her mother separated. What a coincidence. Her mother, who had never cooked, made a dessert herself, but she didn't tell her. She also
I remember that my mother explained to her the topic she was studying for a long time that day, until her father came over.
Her mother held her hand and walked her to the door, saying she would pick her up when she was done. She got into the back seat of the extended bulletproof car and never looked back.
To this day, she still occasionally thinks about whether she should look back at that time, at least take a few more looks at her mother, and see what her mother was thinking.
The black bulletproof car drove past the sunny Champs Elysees. Her father asked her kindly what she wanted to buy? What did she want to eat? She just shook her head. She had never asked anyone for anything since she was born.
At that time, she thought, it won’t happen now and it won’t happen in the future.
After spending a short time in Paris, his father took him to Xinxiang, where his father had a manor, and most of the Onassis family members lived there. Because of her arrival, the manor held a grand cocktail party, and everyone
Members of the Onassis family and closely related people gathered together, with smiles on everyone's faces. Golden crystal lights shined on the high dome like the sun; scarlet curtains hung low on the wooden ceiling.
On both sides of the lattice window, the stars, moon and sea of trees were the dusk scene; she stood next to her father on the spiral staircase, and people in formal attire raised glasses and gave her blessings; countless gifts piled up, and the band played cheerful music.
, her brother took the initiative to invite her to dance, so people clapped and cheered
But when her brother bent over and lowered his head, she felt only a chill.
She could read the deep disgust in her brother's mind, which was similar to the feeling of powerful wild animals in the forest wanting to attack each other when their territory was invaded.
She clearly read her intention to attack, so she directly raised her knee and hit her brother's head hard. The brother who was caught off guard fell to the sky with a nosebleed and foamed at the mouth on the ground, as if he had been shot.
Like twitching.
People were silent for a moment, and then someone screamed. It was the brother's mother. She ran towards her brother holding an expensive dress. She hesitated whether to pick up the silver steak knife on the table and cut it.
Break that woman's throat.
She didn't resent the woman's scream, she just read the murderous intention from the woman's anger.
She turned her head and looked at the table covered with white tablecloth. The steak knife's serrations were shiny and sharp, and the woman's neck was so slender and fragile that it couldn't even compare to a deer.
"One knife is enough." She thought, but she didn't have the chance to do it, so she was pulled away by her father.
"Why do this?"
Her father's voice was serious and puzzled, but she was not afraid at all. She had never been afraid of anything, and she was not keen on lying, so she said directly: "He is hostile to me. If he exposes his neck as a prey in the forest, don't do it."
Hesitate, or it will attack your abdomen with its sharp horns in the next second."
My father was a little surprised and asked: "Is it true that your mother said you can read other people's thoughts?"
She nodded.
"Can you completely read what the other person is thinking?" My father paused and asked, "For example, can you read what I am thinking right now?"
She raised her head and glanced at her gray-haired father and said calmly: "No, I can only read the general content when the other person's brain wave activity is relatively strong."
Her father nodded and patted her shoulder, "Don't tell anyone about this."
She nodded again.
"Didn't your mother tell you about this?"
"No," she said.
Her father didn't say anything. After sending her into the room, he knelt down and whispered: "Actually, you will be happier if you don't see what other people are thinking, so don't use it if you can."
"Okay." 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, and laptops interested her.
She said it was boring, so she sat upright on the edge of the bed, staring out the window motionless. Unfortunately, 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 getting darker and darker, the music gradually extinguished, and people gradually leaving. She didn’t know how long it took, but suddenly it started to snow. That was the first time she saw snow. Countless snowflakes fell from the black sky.
Falling, like countless flying feathers. She didn't know why she felt some vague longing in her heart. She jumped out of bed and walked to the terrace outside the room. The green plants were shivering in the wind and snow. She was naked.
She stepped on the snow and walked to the swing. She stood on it and swung herself as high as the shelf. She felt like she was covered with white feathers and turned into a bird, flying in the heavy snow.
For the first time, she felt that the world was not so boring. There were not many things in this world that could make her feel less boring. In addition to swinging when it snowed, there were also swimming in the sea, mathematics, physics, and making robots.
And doing experiments with my mother.
Now there are a few more things, drinking Coke, watching, chopping vegetables, and eating hot pot. Cross out hot pot! After all, Cheng Mo said that grilled fish is not hot pot.
In the end, I was with Cheng Mo.
Athena looked at Cheng Mo with a dazed look in her eyes, so her movements of raising her hands seemed light and airy, 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 her just now.
It was like swinging in the heavy snow. She didn't know if it was happiness. She only knew that her brain was filled with something. She didn't need to think about anything. It was like having a blank dream, which filled her whole body and made her feel comfortable.
Relaxing contentment.
However, Napoleon VII did not give Athena any time to continue thinking about it. He said loudly: "If you don't come out, I will forcefully open the deck!"
Athena moved her gaze away from Cheng Mo's face. She picked up the T-shirt that Cheng Mo had thrown aside and put on her coat. When Napoleon VII approached, she said coldly: "It's me.
."
"Athena?" Napoleon VII's tone was full of surprise, "What are you hiding down there?"
Athena ignored Napoleon VII's inquiry and just said coldly: "Get out of the way, I'm coming out."
Napoleon VII responded "Okay".
Athena climbed to the exit of the dark layer, opened the complicated mechanism lock, pushed open the secret door, and climbed out. Napoleon VII hurriedly came over and tried to pull her up, but Athena couldn't even hold his hand.
Without taking a glance, he just turned around and closed the secret door firmly, stepping firmly on it.
Before Athena closed the secret door, Napoleon VII secretly glanced inside and saw nothing. Then he looked at Athena and asked slightly uneasily: "Why are you hiding? Now you don't even want to see me."
?”
Athena did not look at Napoleon VII, but looked at Maurice and Clotte Guyon behind Napoleon VII, and said lightly: "You don't want to hear the truth from me."
"Can you go back with me?"
Napoleon VII reached out to grab Athena's arm. Athena frowned and took a step back like lightning, 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 sincerely: "I haven't touched your laboratory. It's still in the Hydra Building. You can go back at any time if you want. Even Hydra, I can't."
I can return it to you."
"You mean to let me leave the Black Death and become your subordinate?"
"Oh! Dear Athena, it would be best if you are willing to do this, but if you don't want to, I won't force you."
"Since you won't force me, why are you chasing me now? Wouldn't it be better to let me leave? You know me well. I don't like to have emotional entanglements with anyone at all. Maybe it's because the left side of the human brain is specialized in mathematics.
The right side is responsible for emotions and expression. And I am a woman with only the left side of my brain."
"Don't be so absolute about everything. I think we should give it a try. If you really think it won't work, I won't force you." Napoleon VII raised his right hand and said seriously, "God is my witness, I will not do anything to you.
lie."
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 around and walked forward. Maurice and Clotte Guyon led the way, and Athena followed and stared at Napoleon VII's back closely. She never looked back.
The four people quickly passed through the engine room. When they turned up the stairs, Napoleon VII looked back at the position of the main diesel crankcase. Seeing Athena looking at him, he smiled at Athena again and said softly.
Said: "As long as you are willing to go back with me."
I don't know how long it took, but Cheng Mo woke up from a nightmare. He sat up from the bed suddenly and felt exhausted. He looked around for a moment. It was dark outside the window. He didn't know what time it was. Only the sound of him on the porthole was
The embedded tray reflects a faint light.
When this shallow light illuminated Cheng Mo's eyes, the sound of rain and waves around him suddenly became louder.
