Chapter 1011 Monster and Moonlight (14)
Cheng Mo is well versed in human psychology, especially women, so he naturally knows that he can't get what he wants from a woman, whether it's material or spiritual, not to mention he feels from the bottom of his heart that he and Athena are not that good yet.It's just that the way he interacts with people for a long time makes him unconsciously use psychological skills to get along with others, but Cheng Mo has never used psychological skills to PUA others, especially the opposite sex.Deep down, Cheng Mo still inherits Cheng Yongze's scholarly style, but Cheng Mo is far more realistic than his father.
So he looked up at Athena, and after brewing his emotions for a while, he said in a low voice: "This story is too long to tell, it's really late today, let's do it next time."
However, Athena didn't understand the essence of the Chinese word "next time" at all, and asked seriously: "When is the next time? Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow?"
Athena's question made Cheng Mo a little confused, "I don't know, probably what we need to talk about these things is not an exact time, but bonfire, beer, starlight and barbecue."
Cheng Mo's answer was full of the spirituality of a literary youth, but this tone made Athena very uncomfortable, and even a little worried. She frowned and said, "I don't quite understand what you mean. Could it be that the bonfire, Beer, starlight, and barbecue are the elements? Only with these can you tell me the story between your father and your Ouroboros?"
"It's too mathematical for you to understand it this way, but what I express is very emotional."
Athena shook her head to express her incomprehension.
Cheng Mo shrugged his shoulders, "Just like you throw away your Ouroboros, this action has absolutely nothing to do with rationality, it is a very emotional action."
Athena interrupted Cheng Mo's words, and said flatly: "This is completely your misunderstanding. To me, the chosen one is not important at all. I don't even have anything to look forward to when I become a god general."
"Then why do you want to be a chosen one? You have occupied the No.1 list for so long without slacking off?"
"It's just a mission!"
Athena answered quite casually, and after she finished answering, she turned her head and looked at the dark blue sea and sky outside the porthole, as if subconsciously avoiding and discussing this topic silently.
The room returned to silence again, without the piece of glass separating the interior and exterior, the never-ending noise of the waves became the low roar of the organ in the church, Athena stared at the bright moonlight reflected on the sea, as if staring at A distant ray of light in the dark forest.
Cheng Mo seemed to hear a long sigh, and then found a kind of desolate loneliness in her pupils, as if her heart was a huge wasteland, where there were devastated and weeds reborn, and she sat among the ruined walls , I don’t know how long I sat there, my body was covered with dust.
This is the exact opposite of Athena's impeccable image.
Cheng Mo didn't think that his feelings were wrong, he carefully recalled all the behaviors of Athena these days: she can indulge in one thing for a long time, even the necessary rest and necessary activities can be completely given up; When studying the "Book of the Law", I will carefully and rigorously formulate a research plan, as if completing an extremely important task; I have a peculiar habit of chopping vegetables, no matter what I cut, they must be cut evenly and almost the same size; When she dropped her own Ouroboros, she did not hesitate at all. It was too abnormal for such a valuable thing to have no intention of cherishing it.
Now it seems that she never smiles, it is not cold, but a kind of numbness, as if there is a hazy sadness wrapping her all the time, like an invisible cocoon.
All these behaviors are related to Athena's failure to practice the "Book of Law", which makes Cheng Mo have to think of a disease that people with high IQs may suffer from - high-functioning depression.
This kind of depression is different from ordinary depression. Ordinary depressed patients are swallowed by great sadness every day, thinking about death to get rid of it all the time, and will lose certain social functions due to the illness, such as being unable to work and communication etc.
"High-functioning depression" generally occurs in people with high IQs. After they are ill, they can still work and live normally, carry out necessary social activities, and interact with family and friends; they can complete the piles of life with a sense of responsibility and inertia. One piece at a time, but in fact, I have no interest in everything outside, and my heart has been in a state of numbness and depression for a long time.
Because this mental illness can suppress the secretion of adrenaline, dopamine and serotonin.Without the secretion of these chemical substances, it is estimated that it will be difficult for Athena to intercept energy through the practice of "Book of Law".
Moreover, the symptoms of "high-functioning depression" are not as obvious as ordinary depression, and it is difficult to be noticed. Even the patients themselves feel that they are the same as "normal people", but they are often depressed, so it is also called "The Laughing Depression Patient".
Cheng Mo is not 100% sure that Athena has "high-functioning depression", but he is sure that Athena has some psychological problems.Even when I was suffering from heart disease, I would smile knowingly because I solved a difficult math problem, or feel happy because I read a favorite book.But these days, he has never seen Athena smile, and her happiest expression is nothing more than squinting her eyes while drinking iced Coke.
If it's just like this, it may be a factor of Athena's personality. However, watching such a cheerful cartoon of "Crayon Shin-chan", Athena has never been amused, which is too abnormal.
In addition, Athena confidently said that she could use her body to intercept energy in three days, but she couldn't.Cheng Mo felt that Athena was not the kind of blind and arrogant person, so it can only be said that she encountered unexpected difficulties.According to Athena's IQ, it is definitely not a problem with her understanding of the "Book of the Law", so Cheng Mo guessed that it was most likely due to her body.
After comprehensive analysis, Cheng Mocai believes that Athena is likely to suffer from "high-functioning depression" without knowing it.
For the sake of rigor, Cheng Mo decided to observe for a few more days before making a judgment.So he drank the Coke in the cup in one gulp, and then asked, "Don't you want to eat?"
Athena stared out the window and shook her head slightly.
Cheng Mo stood up and began to pack his things, "Then let's pack up and go to sleep!"
----------------------
When he got up the next day, Cheng Mo let Athena practice alone in the room as usual, while he sat on the beach chair and looked at the blue sea.There is a huge group of clouds floating on the skyline where the sea and the sky meet. From a distance, it looks like a bulk carrier is slowly sailing towards the depths of the clouds.
Now the bulk carrier has circled closer to the African continent and is heading along the coastline of Aiji.
In the memory of most people, Africa is synonymous with poverty, ignorance and backwardness, but this is not the case in history. According to Cheng Mo's understanding, the three most important civilization circles for mankind are the East Asian civilization circle with China as the core, and The South Asian subcontinent civilization circle with Tianzhu as the core, and the Mediterranean civilization circle including the ancient Mesopotamia, ancient Aiji, ancient Greece, and ancient Rome.
Among these three civilization circles, the most important one is of course the Mediterranean civilization circle located in the center of the world, because not only the earliest human civilization was born here, but also the revolutionary capitalist civilization was born.In ancient times, this was the source of world civilization. In modern times, the industrial revolution broke out here, which greatly promoted the development of productivity.
However, European historians like to change concepts secretly. They deliberately do not talk about the impact of Mesopotamia and ancient AI and civilization on European civilization, nor do they talk about whether the many civilizations in Asia Minor belong to Europa. They only talk about ancient Greece and ancient times. Rome secretly replaced the entire Mediterranean civilization with Europa civilization, making people mistakenly believe that the development of capitalist civilization is all due to the European Caucasians, or even the Anglo-Saxons, and only the Europa Caucasians are the chosen ones. civil.
In fact, the civilization around the Mediterranean is the core part of Western civilization.
Both ancient Greece and ancient Rome took shape under the influence of multiple civilizations, and their origins are, in the final analysis, Mesopotamia, Ancient Ai and civilization.It's just these contents, most of the historians of Europa will not delve into it.And the vast majority of ordinary people will not understand the difference between the Mediterranean civilization and the Europa civilization.
Cheng Mo sat on the beach chair and imagined the history with the never-ending view of the seascape, but unexpectedly Athena came out of the room, she stood at the door and said actively: "When you go to the cafeteria, remember to help me be an old godmother." Seasoned dishes."
"Yes, my lord Beret." Cheng Mo tried to make a joke.
Athena didn't respond to this, and ordered with a normal expression: "Remember that you have to come up and eat with me."
Cheng Mo used to think that Athena was so proud that she didn't care what other people said at all, but now she thinks that Athena may have really low language perception ability, and she may not mean to be superior subjectively, but she always speaks like this, which makes her People feel very bossy.
People are always prone to misunderstand others, and understanding is an act that costs a lot of money, which makes it difficult for people to build trust and become friends.Realizing that Athena is not the Athena he thought, Cheng Mo felt that he should sincerely try to be Athena's friend, so he smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't forget, we are partners."
Athena nodded and turned to go back to her room, but Cheng Mo stopped her.
"Didn't you practice and study the "Book of Law" in the room just now?"
Athena stopped, turned to look at Cheng Mo and said, "No."
"Why? Can you tell me which link is wrong?" Cheng Mo continued to ask, since Athena's Uroboros had been lost, Cheng Mo still hoped that Athena could recover her combat power as soon as possible, even if only a little bit.
"If you don't want to stay outside, you can go back to your room." Athena avoided answering.
Cheng Mo didn't know whether Athena knew the reason and didn't want to say it, or she hadn't discovered it yet. Judging from Athena's attitude, he believed that the former was more likely.Regardless of the reason, Cheng Mo still needs Athena to be willing to accept his help before he can help Athena. Besides, he can't force Athena, so he can only follow Athena to change the subject and say: " That's not necessary, I like the sea very much, even if I just look at it, I won't feel bored."
Athena showed an imperceptible surprise on her face, "Why? What's so good about the sea?"
Cheng Mo knew that Athena had special feelings for the sea, so he said this on purpose. Seeing that Athena really did, he got up from the couch and stood beside the railing. Near the end of the Mediterranean Sea, and about 100 nautical miles to the east, you can reach the holy city of Jerusalem (185.2 nautical miles equals [-] kilometers).”
"Then what happened?"
"The name Jerusalem has been used almost throughout human history. It can be said to be the most important city in the history of human civilization. Numerous magnificent wars have taken place around it. Even today, the flames of war have not been extinguished. The Mediterranean Sea is divided into three parts: Europe, Asia and Africa. The world's second largest inland sea surrounded by continents (the largest inland sea is the Caribbean Sea), can be said to be the most important sea area in the history of human civilization. If the world is regarded as a Go board, then we can see the most appropriate The 'Tian Yuan' in the world is the Mediterranean Sea. Countless brilliant civilizations have been born around this sea." Cheng Mo closed his eyes while holding the railing with both hands, and chanted in a low voice against the sea breeze, "I can see Xue when I close my eyes. Sith inspected his army on the shore of the Mediterranean Sea. On the strait, 25 troops threw their whips to stop the flow. 1207 warships and 3000 transport ships were responsible for covering the flanks. The decisive battle of the Greek Fleet. Seeing such a grand occasion, Xerxes said that he was the happiest man, and then wept bitterly. His uncle Artabanus asked him, "Why do you behave so differently, King! You said that you are a happy man." People, but now they can't cry?" He replied, "After thinking about it, a sense of compassion welled up in my heart. Human life is so short, so many warriors who are alive and well, how many of them will not be dust after a hundred years!"
If Xie Minyun was here, he would definitely think with Cheng Mo about the great sea battles in the Mediterranean Sea, count the thousands of years of grudges between Greece and the Persian Empire; or discuss the large-scale seasonal tuna hunting by Genoese fishing boats; Discuss the ancient Etruscans, early modern Berbers and Uskoks who formed pirate fleets cruising the Mediterranean Sea, and they robbed the coming and going merchant ships for silk, gold and spices; The behemoth 'quinquereme' is used to combat pirate activities and maintain the safety of trade routes.
However, Athena just asked uncertainly: "You should be talking about the Salamis naval battle!"
Cheng Mo nodded, Athena didn't have anything to say, she looked disinterested, this meant that Cheng Mo's passion that had been brewing for a long time had no place to release, so she could only mock herself and said: "I've already thought about it, I should wait a while." Closing with Manuel Alegre's "Westerly Tank," but it doesn't look like you're very interested."
"There is a shipwreck in every poem, and I don't know which poem is not the sea." Athena said softly.
This time it was Cheng Mo's turn to be a little surprised, "I thought you were not interested in history! Poetry! These are not interested at all." Athena walked out from the door frame, she walked to the railing, and raised her hand to grab the railing , the slanting sunlight shone on her face, making her face look like a piece of transparent jade, "My father likes this poem very much, and occasionally he would just stare at the sea in a daze without doing anything."
"There is probably no man who doesn't like the sea! My father is the same. Once he bought a sack of shells for a lot of money. Other fathers will always bring something delicious or fun for their children when they come back from abroad, but My dad brought back a bag of shells and spent more than 1 yuan. At that time, more than 1 yuan was not a small amount for our family. This made me so angry that I ignored it for several days. He, I didn’t forgive him until he posted those beautiful shells on the Internet and sold them for tens of thousands of dollars.” Cheng Mo shrugged his shoulders, “Now that I think about it, I regret it.”
"Regret selling those shells?"
"No." Cheng Mo said with some annoyance: "There are not only golden ax phoenix snails in those shells, but also bright red plantain snails, flame fragrant snails, and even a luminous flower thorn salamander, so many precious shells are sold. 3 yuan is simply too cheap.”
Athena turned her head to look at Cheng Mo, "Is there even a luminous snail? Are you sure it is a luminous snail, not a snail or a snail?"
"Of course I'm sure. My dad put it on the website for 250 Huaxia coins, but it was instantly stolen." Seeing Athena's eyes were a little confused, Cheng Mo Miao understood, and immediately explained, "Two thousand Huaxia coins are about [-] yuan. Oh." After a pause, Cheng Mo continued, "Two hundred and five also means a fool in China."
Athena agreed very much and said: "It's really silly that the luminous flower thorn salamander only sells for 250 Euros. If you want to sell it to me, I will ask for [-] Euros."
"It's a pity that I didn't know you at that time, and I missed a chance to make a fortune."
"Now that we know each other, it's still too late to make you rich." Athena said seriously.
Cheng Mo shook his head feigning regret, "It's too late."
"It's too late, I want to make it easy for you to get rich."
Athena's tone was quite unquestionable. Cheng Mo felt that Athena's straightforwardness was cute. He smiled and said, "It's too late for me to say, because I'm already a rich man."
"how much money you have?"
Cheng Mo was stunned for a moment, thinking about how Athena even Hydera and his own Uroboros could be abandoned like a shoe, and then thinking about the apparent wealth of the Onassis family, he said a little depressed: "How many It’s only a billion dollars, so it’s definitely not comparable to you.”
Athena thought for a while, "Billions of dollars are barely enough without buying skills and artifacts!" After a pause, she asked again, "You didn't have much money before, but now that you have money, do you feel happier than before?"
Cheng Mo shrugged his shoulders, "I haven't found the dialectical relationship between money and happiness so far."
Athena said with some regret: "I thought you had experienced a life from poor to rich, so you could draw a conclusion."
"There will be no conclusions about many things. It's like whether there is any meaning to life." Cheng Mo's tone is meaningful and intriguing.
Athena stared down at the blue sea with white waves rolling under her feet and said lightly: "Life is meaningless, it's quite boring."
"You can say it so easily if you haven't felt the threat of death. You know, when you die, you lose all possibilities. Only by living can you have infinite possibilities, including finding the meaning of your own life."
"It makes sense."
Cheng Mo turned his head and looked at Athena's profile and asked, "Didn't you French start studying philosophy in elementary school? Why do you feel like you don't know anything about philosophy?"
"I have never been to elementary school or junior high school. When I was young, I studied with my mother. She didn't teach me these things. The only subjects I could study when I was young were mathematics and physics."
"No wonder." Cheng Mo suddenly realized, and then he said, "Your parents must have high expectations for you on the road of the chosen one."
After finishing this sentence, there was no more text. In the middle of the conversation again, the two fell into silence for no reason. Maybe Cheng Mo's temptation was too deep, or maybe Athena didn't want to communicate with others, so she turned and walked into the room .
Cheng Mo is used to Athena's impolite way of ending conversations. While guessing what kind of childhood Athena experienced, he admired the immortal deep sea like poetry.
--------------------------
One night when the ship was about to sail into the sea of Iserel, it rained heavily on the Mediterranean Sea.The porthole, which Cheng Mo had pasted with a cardboard shell, was blown apart by the sea breeze mixed with rainwater in minutes, so the cold sea breeze poured into the room, instantly clearing away the warm atmosphere.
Cheng Mo, who was only covered with a thin blanket, was awakened by the cold, he shivered, got up and saw that Athena had just switched from the desk to the bed to watch "Crayon Shin-chan", she didn't care about the broken window at all, he Then I felt a little regretful, and felt that it was a bit of a mistake not to call someone to repair the porthole.
In view of the fact that the temperature is really low, it is a bit unbearable, and let the rainwater pour in like this, it will be even more difficult to clean up tomorrow, so Cheng Mo can only get up from the sofa and look for suitable objects in the room that can block the porthole.
After searching all over but couldn't find it, Cheng Mo remembered that there were stainless steel trays in the kitchen, so he went to the kitchen to find two stainless steel trays.He tried to use the "Seven Sins" to insert the tray into the porthole despite the raindrops flying against the window.Athena was still watching "Crayon Shin-chan" peacefully on the bed.
When Cheng Mo designed the notch according to the size of the porthole, he inadvertently saw faint lights floating in the wind and rain in the distance.
Cheng Mo has always been vigilant, so he immediately poured energy into his pupils, looked at the light in the darkness, and saw two warships, although they didn't hang the national flag, Cheng Mo could tell by their appearance that they were a French warship. A new generation of air defense ships "Horizon" class destroyers and an "Aquitaine" class frigate with integrated air defense and anti-submarine.
The tonnage of these two ships is more than [-] tons, and the weapon configuration is much higher than that of ordinary patrol ships. In particular, the air defense ships will be equipped with missiles aimed at the Chosen One. Air defense and anti-submarine ships appear together, not to protect the aircraft carrier , is to target the powerful Chosen One.
There is no doubt that the other party came for Athena who wiped out a Greek frigate a few days ago.
Cheng Mo thought to himself that luck was not good enough after all, and he was discovered by Ou Yu's people.Right now, neither he nor Athena has Ouroboros, and it is impossible to judge how many Chosen Ones are on the two warships, let alone whether Napoleon VII has come in person.He guessed that Napoleon VII should be busy cleaning up the mess in Greece and didn't have time to come, but it doesn't matter whether Napoleon VII comes or how many chosen ones come. In this case, there is no other choice but to hide.
Because there was a plan in advance, Cheng Mo did not panic. First, he finished the work at hand in an orderly manner, embedded the stainless steel tray into the porthole, then wiped off the water stains on the desk and the floor, and then cleaned the room. Only then said to Athena: "Clean up, let's hide in the dark layer of the engine room."
This plan had been told to Athena a long time ago, so Athena was not surprised. She got up and put on her coat, closed her notebook and stuffed it into her backpack, and then she carried her bag and prepared to walk out of the room with Cheng Mo.
Cheng Mo stood at the door and asked, "Why don't you put on the mask?"
"I'm going to hide anyway, what's the difference if I wear it or not?" Athena looked nonchalant, as if she didn't understand how dangerous the two of them were going to face.
Cheng Mo persuaded earnestly: "Maybe it will be more or less useful."
Athena was indifferent, "I don't remember where to throw it."
Before Athena's words fell, Cheng Mo said directly: "It's in the drawer of the bedside table on the left."
Athena nodded, turned around and walked to the bedside table on the left, opened the drawer and took out the human skin mask, walked towards Cheng Mo and said, "Put it on later."
Cheng Meruo had no choice but to walk out of the room first with Athena. He first went to the room of the captain Homero, woke up the sleepy Homero, and told him that a warship was approaching, and Homero in pajamas woke up immediately. He came over and asked in a panic: "How far is it? Should we change our course to avoid it?"
"No, just follow the plan." Cheng Mo said coldly.
Captain Homero said worriedly: "What if the other party asks us to return?"
"Impossible." Cheng Mo shook his head, "This is already in the waters of Iserel, and the relationship between Iserel and the Europa League is not good. They boarded the ship to find my companion, and they would not ask for that."
Captain Homero subconsciously looked at Athena who was hiding behind Cheng Mo, and the anxiety in his eyes suddenly turned into surprise and disbelief. He opened his mouth slightly, shook his head fiercely, and said dreamily: "Am I dreaming? It must be, otherwise how could there be such a beautiful woman in the world."
Cheng Mo snorted coldly, and warned with a blank face: "Captain Homero, I have to tell you that you must never betray us to ensure your own safety. If we are discovered, the entire ship will die. "
Captain Homero seemed bewitched, staring straight at Athena under the dim light, and murmured: "How can I betray you, even if I risk my life, I will not betray you."
Cheng Mo could hear that Captain Homero's words came from the heart, and he had to lament that he still underestimated the charm of Athena.He thought to himself that the magic power of a beautiful woman is so great that a cunning man like Captain Homero can't help saying something that goes against his character.Even though he thought so, Cheng Mo didn't mean to look down on Captain Homero, because he knew clearly that even a ruthless man like him would not be able to avoid being affected by Athena's alluring beauty.He sighed in his heart, raised his hand and patted Captain Homero's shoulder, and said in a low voice, "Remember what I told you, as long as you can reach Syria safely, I will give you 15 euros."
After being slapped heavily by Cheng Mo twice, Captain Homero woke up from Athena's dream-like face. He shivered, with a hint of shyness on his dark face, and stammered: "Qianqian. Nothing is that important"
"Don't talk about these meaningless things, you should be ready." After finishing speaking, he turned and walked towards the stairs, and Athena followed quietly.
Captain Homero stared at Athena's slender back until she disappeared around the corner of the corridor, and then said infatuatedly, "Okay."
-----------------------
Cheng Mo took Athena directly down to the engine room, where there is a very hidden interlayer under the main diesel crankcase in the engine room.This interlayer was originally used to hide drugs. According to the situation, it cannot be used to hide people at all, because the engine room is not only noisy, the temperature is usually as high as [-] to [-] degrees, and you must wear anti-static clothing, not anti-static clothing. There is a risk of electric shock when entering the cabin.
All in all, ordinary people would almost die if they wanted to hide in the engine room.
But these aspects are not a threat to Cheng Mo, and they are still a favorable cover.Because of such a suitable hiding place, Cheng Mo decided to do the opposite after careful consideration. Instead of disembarking in Aiji, he remained on the "Mediterranean Prelude".
There is no doubt that this decision is very risky, but it will allow Cheng Mo to solve Ou Yu's pursuit once and for all.
Cheng Mo dragged Athena to the back of the stairs in the engine room and waited for Captain Homero to call the personnel on duty in the engine room away. It didn't take long for him to hear the footsteps of the personnel on duty in the engine room leaving.When the footsteps of the other party's "Boom, Boom, Boom" went away, Cheng Mo took out the key he had prepared earlier, walked quickly to the door of the engine room and opened the door, and walked through the duty room with Athena to the heavy engine room door Before that, they called Athena to work together to unscrew the valve of the engine room, and the two entered the engine room one after the other.
The interior of the engine room is almost ten stories high. The huge main diesel engine stands in the center of the engine room, making a deafening roar. Cheng Mo handed Athena the anti-noise earplugs he had prepared long ago, while he himself did not wear anything. The loud noise carried Athena straight down the stairs surrounding the main diesel engine to the bottom floor.
The main diesel crankcase is at the stern of the bulk carrier. Because the ship has not stopped at this time, the crankshaft is still sitting and reciprocating, and the sound of rumbling machinery can be heard endlessly.Cheng Mo walked to the crankcase, which was about the size of a container. Next to the door of the third section, the "Seven Sins" appeared as screw clamps. One by one, he unscrewed the large screws surrounding the door, The screw was handed over to Athena, and the door was removed.
Immediately, the huge crankshaft and connecting rod appeared in front of the eyes of the two of them. The sweltering heat made Cheng Mo sweat profusely. He glanced at the fast-moving mechanical components exuding the shiny oil, and walked to the side to wipe the sweat off his forehead. , just bent slightly and reached into the crankcase to fumble for the switch hidden at the bottom.
Cheng Mo pressed lightly, and the sound of the amplifier sounded, and a gap appeared on the steel deck under the feet at the door of the third section, and it bounced slightly.He reinstalled the door first, then carefully lifted the thick steel deck, pointed to the mezzanine less than one meter high and said to Athena, "You go down first."
Without saying a word, Athena sat neatly on the edge of the mezzanine, stretched her legs into the mezzanine, slid lightly, and lay down on the mezzanine.After Athena entered, Cheng Mo also climbed into the mezzanine, and fastened the steel deck above her head tightly.
The area of the mezzanine is as large as the main diesel crankcase, but it is full of wooden boxes wrapped in air bubble plastic film, so the area that can accommodate two people is intentionally left open.As for the height, it was one or two centimeters higher than the coffin, which was not enough for people to sit up, so Cheng Mo and Athena could only lie side by side in a dark mezzanine.
Although Cheng Mo's nose lingers with a strong smell of engine oil, and his ears are filled with unbearable noises, not only the endless "da, da, da" sound of the main diesel engine, but also a series of strange sounds of the crankshaft driving the propeller to rotate the water, but Cheng Mo, who has infused energy in his cochlea, feels that the world is abnormally quiet, as if he is lying on a planet and listening to the long roar from the universe.
Cheng Mo closed his eyes, as if he saw the starlight in the sky, he felt strange, why would he feel romantic in a cramped, dark, hot and smelly mezzanine when it was obviously extremely dangerous.
He thought: Could it be because of Athena?He didn't want to think like this, so he resisted the urge to turn his head to look at Athena.However, Athena started to move, and it was inevitable that Cheng Mo would meet in the narrow space. He had to turn his head to look at Athena and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Hot." Athena's answer was simple and appalling.
Cheng Mo's vision could not be affected by being blind. He saw Athena lift her upper body slightly, and she was taking off the black pullover with some difficulty. contour.Inadvertently seeing that Athena was not wearing certain clothes, Cheng Mo quickly turned his head around and closed his eyes fiercely.
Those twinkling stars disappeared, leaving only a round of pure white and flawless first quarter moon, exuding the supreme light.Cheng Mo's heart skipped a beat, and the scorching air that could be tolerated before became unbearable.
Athena took off her coat, lay down again using the fleece jumper as a pillow, and sighed, "It would be great if I brought a glass of iced Coke."
Athena's cold and hard tone made Cheng Mo feel more and more like the scorching sun. He unzipped the zipper, took off his jacket with difficulty, and imitated Athena's example of folding the clothes into squares as a pillow and lying down in a T-shirt. it is good.Too bad taking the jacket off under the main diesel crankcase doesn't help at all.
Cheng Mo thought for a while, in such a hot environment, he couldn't hold on for a little longer to save energy, so he had to resort to the only [-]D-level skill he could use at the moment, "Frozen Ray".
Although it is only a [-]D skill and its lethality is not strong enough, it is definitely more than enough to be used as an air conditioner.But after a while, the temperature of Cheng Mo's whole body dropped.
Not long after, Athena felt the coolness from Cheng Mo's side, and leaned towards Cheng Mo without hesitation. Soon she found that the coolness came from Cheng Mo's body, so she turned her head and whispered in Cheng Mo's ear: "Why? Are you cold here?"
Before Cheng Mo could explain, Athena's hand was already on Cheng Mo's. Feeling the refreshing coolness, she immediately asked, "You used your skills? Why didn't you cool me down too?"
Cheng Mo quickly said: "It's not that I don't give it. My body has limited energy and ability. At most, I can only maintain my own temperature. I really can't control you." After a pause, Cheng Mo explained, " It's not like you didn't watch me make ice cups, it takes a long time to make ice cubes, do you think I did it on purpose?"
Athena seemed to agree with Cheng Mo's statement, and stopped talking, but got closer to Cheng Mo. Gradually, Cheng Mo's body was like a magnet, completely attracting Athena.But the temperature in the engine room was too high, and it was under the main diesel crankcase, so the temperature was even higher. Athena demanded endlessly for the coolness, and gradually squeezed Cheng Mo to the side of the wooden box.Even so, it still couldn't solve the problem. Athena's side near Cheng Mo was much cooler, but the other half was still so hot that she was sweating, soaking her T-shirt in a short while.And the feeling of ice and fire made Athena even more uncomfortable.
Athena was not an inkblot either, so she said flatly, "Turn around."
Cheng Mo was stunned for a moment and said, "Turn around?"
"Turn your body sideways, otherwise the contact surface between us is too small to cool down."
Athena spoke very straightforwardly, and there was no embarrassment in her tone.Other girls don't mind, Cheng Mo has no reason to be hypocritical, so he can only turn around and lie on his side facing the wooden box.He felt that Athena also turned around, and then Athena's slender hands stretched out from his neck, and hugged him in her arms, with her long legs clamped up, as if hugging him. Humanoid pillow
Cheng Mo's whole body was stiff, his mind went blank, he felt as if he flew into the sky and was surrounded by a cloud of soft clouds.
The rapid heartbeat and disordered breathing caught Athena's attention, and she asked puzzledly, "Why are you so nervous all of a sudden? Did you hear anything?"
Cheng Mo didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and thought: Don't you know how fierce and vicious your body is? ?He didn't dare to move at all, desperately suppressed the throbbing in his heart, and whispered: "No, you haven't been in love before?"
"No."
"Then you should also know that a boy and a girl must have a very intimate relationship to hug like this?"
Athena asked hesitantly, "Can't partners hug?"
"Male partners are fine." Cheng Mo thought about the awkward posture between himself and Athena, and then said immediately, "Even if it's a man and a man, it's not okay to hug like this."
"why?"
Cheng Mo said helplessly, "You haven't taken any philosophy class, history class, or physical hygiene class?"
"No."
Cheng Mo was speechless, "You really don't know that this kind of pose is an ambiguous pose that only couples can do?"
"Couples?" Athena was very surprised. She let go of her arms a little, and said naturally, "Don't think too much, I just use you as an ice cube."
Cheng Mo thought: "I don't think too much about it, you can treat me like an ice cube, but I can't stop treating you like an ice cube! It's really terrible!" But he couldn't find a solution for a while, At this time, the suffocating pressure on his back was no longer too obvious, and he was slightly relieved, but also a little lost.The restless heart struggled to get ashore in the hot spring, but immediately began to miss the warmth of Athena.Cheng Mo warned himself not to do this, he closed his eyes, clenched his fists, and began to calculate the "Riemann Hypothesis" in his brain to expel the incomparably charming illusion, and the illusion of Athena, the illusion that is close at hand.
Cheng Mo managed to restrain Qi Nian, but Athena clung to her again, and she said aggrievedly, "No, it's too hot."
Cheng Mo was once again broken by Wen Xiangnunyu, and he gave up his efforts weakly, accepted the reality of being forced to eat tofu, and fought against the soaring adrenaline and the rich imagination in his brain with all his strength.
Time slowly lingered in the sweet hardships, until Cheng Mo's body was stiff and his shoulders were numb.The interlayer is not Simmons after all, the steel plate is too hard, he said dryly, "Can you change the position?"
"Okay" Athena's voice was a little hazy, as if she was asleep, and she was not affected by any chemicals at all.
Cheng Mo moved his body carefully, and turned around at the same time as Athena in the claustrophobic space.Now Cheng Mo was leaning against Athena's back. Cheng Mo didn't want to hug Athena, but the feeling of his shoulders pressing on the steel plate was too uncomfortable.In addition, for some unspeakable reasons, the situation was even more embarrassing.
Cheng Mo persisted for a while, trying to shrink his body back, but Athena also shrank back with him, making him unavoidable, and it's not a problem to block him with his hands. When an embarrassing situation happened, he still whispered, "It won't work like this. If someone from heaven descends into the engine room, we won't be able to move at all. We have to adjust to a proper posture now."
Athena knew nothing about Cheng Mo's tortured situation, and replied very rigorously: "As long as you have enough contacts."
In order to prevent Athena from discovering his situation, Cheng Mo hurriedly said, "Go ahead."
Athena moved away her graceful body, and Cheng Mo was finally able to lie flat and solved the most embarrassing dilemma. He heaved a sigh of relief, stretched his right hand over Athena's slender neck, and hugged her whole body In my arms.At this time, Athena's entire body almost left the sandwich steel plate, leaning obliquely on Cheng Mo's body.
Athena completely regarded Cheng Mo as a pillow, she buried her head on Cheng Mo's shoulder, and murmured with a trace of tiredness: "This position is very comfortable."
"You are comfortable! What should I do?" Cheng Mo, who was full of warmth and soft jade, thought sadly. He tilted his head and glanced at Athena. Her eyes were closed, and her clean face showed a childish look. The pure, smooth blonde hair flowed down his fair cheeks to his chest, and the faint fragrance of the hair passed through the smell of engine oil and sneaked into his brain. Cheng Mo watched Athena as dynamic and soft as a Venus sculpture The body line, only felt that the brain was trembling.
Cheng Mo is not a gentleman, but he will not take the opportunity to take advantage of Athena, especially since Athena is still like a child in this respect, and he can't make himself appear uncultivated.So Cheng Mo closed his eyes, took a deep breath with a straight face, and began to calculate the "Riemann Hypothesis" in his brain, while monitoring the situation of the engine room through sound.
Time is viscous like melted sugar, and the flow rate becomes extremely slow.I don't know how long it took, but Athena, who seemed to be asleep in his arms, moved, raised her head and said softly, "How long will you stay?"
With a fresh scent of lemon sweetness rushing into Cheng Mo's nostrils, he subconsciously turned his head to look at Athena, her floating ruby-colored jade face was just a hair away, just a little bit away, his Lips were about to touch Athena's smooth forehead, Cheng Mo's heart swayed, and she almost couldn't help holding Athena even tighter in a trance.
At this moment, the sound of the door opening came from the direction of the duty room, followed by a deep and familiar voice, "After searching here, let's go. If she is on this ship, she will definitely not hide."
(End of this chapter)
Cheng Mo is well versed in human psychology, especially women, so he naturally knows that he can't get what he wants from a woman, whether it's material or spiritual, not to mention he feels from the bottom of his heart that he and Athena are not that good yet.It's just that the way he interacts with people for a long time makes him unconsciously use psychological skills to get along with others, but Cheng Mo has never used psychological skills to PUA others, especially the opposite sex.Deep down, Cheng Mo still inherits Cheng Yongze's scholarly style, but Cheng Mo is far more realistic than his father.
So he looked up at Athena, and after brewing his emotions for a while, he said in a low voice: "This story is too long to tell, it's really late today, let's do it next time."
However, Athena didn't understand the essence of the Chinese word "next time" at all, and asked seriously: "When is the next time? Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow?"
Athena's question made Cheng Mo a little confused, "I don't know, probably what we need to talk about these things is not an exact time, but bonfire, beer, starlight and barbecue."
Cheng Mo's answer was full of the spirituality of a literary youth, but this tone made Athena very uncomfortable, and even a little worried. She frowned and said, "I don't quite understand what you mean. Could it be that the bonfire, Beer, starlight, and barbecue are the elements? Only with these can you tell me the story between your father and your Ouroboros?"
"It's too mathematical for you to understand it this way, but what I express is very emotional."
Athena shook her head to express her incomprehension.
Cheng Mo shrugged his shoulders, "Just like you throw away your Ouroboros, this action has absolutely nothing to do with rationality, it is a very emotional action."
Athena interrupted Cheng Mo's words, and said flatly: "This is completely your misunderstanding. To me, the chosen one is not important at all. I don't even have anything to look forward to when I become a god general."
"Then why do you want to be a chosen one? You have occupied the No.1 list for so long without slacking off?"
"It's just a mission!"
Athena answered quite casually, and after she finished answering, she turned her head and looked at the dark blue sea and sky outside the porthole, as if subconsciously avoiding and discussing this topic silently.
The room returned to silence again, without the piece of glass separating the interior and exterior, the never-ending noise of the waves became the low roar of the organ in the church, Athena stared at the bright moonlight reflected on the sea, as if staring at A distant ray of light in the dark forest.
Cheng Mo seemed to hear a long sigh, and then found a kind of desolate loneliness in her pupils, as if her heart was a huge wasteland, where there were devastated and weeds reborn, and she sat among the ruined walls , I don’t know how long I sat there, my body was covered with dust.
This is the exact opposite of Athena's impeccable image.
Cheng Mo didn't think that his feelings were wrong, he carefully recalled all the behaviors of Athena these days: she can indulge in one thing for a long time, even the necessary rest and necessary activities can be completely given up; When studying the "Book of the Law", I will carefully and rigorously formulate a research plan, as if completing an extremely important task; I have a peculiar habit of chopping vegetables, no matter what I cut, they must be cut evenly and almost the same size; When she dropped her own Ouroboros, she did not hesitate at all. It was too abnormal for such a valuable thing to have no intention of cherishing it.
Now it seems that she never smiles, it is not cold, but a kind of numbness, as if there is a hazy sadness wrapping her all the time, like an invisible cocoon.
All these behaviors are related to Athena's failure to practice the "Book of Law", which makes Cheng Mo have to think of a disease that people with high IQs may suffer from - high-functioning depression.
This kind of depression is different from ordinary depression. Ordinary depressed patients are swallowed by great sadness every day, thinking about death to get rid of it all the time, and will lose certain social functions due to the illness, such as being unable to work and communication etc.
"High-functioning depression" generally occurs in people with high IQs. After they are ill, they can still work and live normally, carry out necessary social activities, and interact with family and friends; they can complete the piles of life with a sense of responsibility and inertia. One piece at a time, but in fact, I have no interest in everything outside, and my heart has been in a state of numbness and depression for a long time.
Because this mental illness can suppress the secretion of adrenaline, dopamine and serotonin.Without the secretion of these chemical substances, it is estimated that it will be difficult for Athena to intercept energy through the practice of "Book of Law".
Moreover, the symptoms of "high-functioning depression" are not as obvious as ordinary depression, and it is difficult to be noticed. Even the patients themselves feel that they are the same as "normal people", but they are often depressed, so it is also called "The Laughing Depression Patient".
Cheng Mo is not 100% sure that Athena has "high-functioning depression", but he is sure that Athena has some psychological problems.Even when I was suffering from heart disease, I would smile knowingly because I solved a difficult math problem, or feel happy because I read a favorite book.But these days, he has never seen Athena smile, and her happiest expression is nothing more than squinting her eyes while drinking iced Coke.
If it's just like this, it may be a factor of Athena's personality. However, watching such a cheerful cartoon of "Crayon Shin-chan", Athena has never been amused, which is too abnormal.
In addition, Athena confidently said that she could use her body to intercept energy in three days, but she couldn't.Cheng Mo felt that Athena was not the kind of blind and arrogant person, so it can only be said that she encountered unexpected difficulties.According to Athena's IQ, it is definitely not a problem with her understanding of the "Book of the Law", so Cheng Mo guessed that it was most likely due to her body.
After comprehensive analysis, Cheng Mocai believes that Athena is likely to suffer from "high-functioning depression" without knowing it.
For the sake of rigor, Cheng Mo decided to observe for a few more days before making a judgment.So he drank the Coke in the cup in one gulp, and then asked, "Don't you want to eat?"
Athena stared out the window and shook her head slightly.
Cheng Mo stood up and began to pack his things, "Then let's pack up and go to sleep!"
----------------------
When he got up the next day, Cheng Mo let Athena practice alone in the room as usual, while he sat on the beach chair and looked at the blue sea.There is a huge group of clouds floating on the skyline where the sea and the sky meet. From a distance, it looks like a bulk carrier is slowly sailing towards the depths of the clouds.
Now the bulk carrier has circled closer to the African continent and is heading along the coastline of Aiji.
In the memory of most people, Africa is synonymous with poverty, ignorance and backwardness, but this is not the case in history. According to Cheng Mo's understanding, the three most important civilization circles for mankind are the East Asian civilization circle with China as the core, and The South Asian subcontinent civilization circle with Tianzhu as the core, and the Mediterranean civilization circle including the ancient Mesopotamia, ancient Aiji, ancient Greece, and ancient Rome.
Among these three civilization circles, the most important one is of course the Mediterranean civilization circle located in the center of the world, because not only the earliest human civilization was born here, but also the revolutionary capitalist civilization was born.In ancient times, this was the source of world civilization. In modern times, the industrial revolution broke out here, which greatly promoted the development of productivity.
However, European historians like to change concepts secretly. They deliberately do not talk about the impact of Mesopotamia and ancient AI and civilization on European civilization, nor do they talk about whether the many civilizations in Asia Minor belong to Europa. They only talk about ancient Greece and ancient times. Rome secretly replaced the entire Mediterranean civilization with Europa civilization, making people mistakenly believe that the development of capitalist civilization is all due to the European Caucasians, or even the Anglo-Saxons, and only the Europa Caucasians are the chosen ones. civil.
In fact, the civilization around the Mediterranean is the core part of Western civilization.
Both ancient Greece and ancient Rome took shape under the influence of multiple civilizations, and their origins are, in the final analysis, Mesopotamia, Ancient Ai and civilization.It's just these contents, most of the historians of Europa will not delve into it.And the vast majority of ordinary people will not understand the difference between the Mediterranean civilization and the Europa civilization.
Cheng Mo sat on the beach chair and imagined the history with the never-ending view of the seascape, but unexpectedly Athena came out of the room, she stood at the door and said actively: "When you go to the cafeteria, remember to help me be an old godmother." Seasoned dishes."
"Yes, my lord Beret." Cheng Mo tried to make a joke.
Athena didn't respond to this, and ordered with a normal expression: "Remember that you have to come up and eat with me."
Cheng Mo used to think that Athena was so proud that she didn't care what other people said at all, but now she thinks that Athena may have really low language perception ability, and she may not mean to be superior subjectively, but she always speaks like this, which makes her People feel very bossy.
People are always prone to misunderstand others, and understanding is an act that costs a lot of money, which makes it difficult for people to build trust and become friends.Realizing that Athena is not the Athena he thought, Cheng Mo felt that he should sincerely try to be Athena's friend, so he smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't forget, we are partners."
Athena nodded and turned to go back to her room, but Cheng Mo stopped her.
"Didn't you practice and study the "Book of Law" in the room just now?"
Athena stopped, turned to look at Cheng Mo and said, "No."
"Why? Can you tell me which link is wrong?" Cheng Mo continued to ask, since Athena's Uroboros had been lost, Cheng Mo still hoped that Athena could recover her combat power as soon as possible, even if only a little bit.
"If you don't want to stay outside, you can go back to your room." Athena avoided answering.
Cheng Mo didn't know whether Athena knew the reason and didn't want to say it, or she hadn't discovered it yet. Judging from Athena's attitude, he believed that the former was more likely.Regardless of the reason, Cheng Mo still needs Athena to be willing to accept his help before he can help Athena. Besides, he can't force Athena, so he can only follow Athena to change the subject and say: " That's not necessary, I like the sea very much, even if I just look at it, I won't feel bored."
Athena showed an imperceptible surprise on her face, "Why? What's so good about the sea?"
Cheng Mo knew that Athena had special feelings for the sea, so he said this on purpose. Seeing that Athena really did, he got up from the couch and stood beside the railing. Near the end of the Mediterranean Sea, and about 100 nautical miles to the east, you can reach the holy city of Jerusalem (185.2 nautical miles equals [-] kilometers).”
"Then what happened?"
"The name Jerusalem has been used almost throughout human history. It can be said to be the most important city in the history of human civilization. Numerous magnificent wars have taken place around it. Even today, the flames of war have not been extinguished. The Mediterranean Sea is divided into three parts: Europe, Asia and Africa. The world's second largest inland sea surrounded by continents (the largest inland sea is the Caribbean Sea), can be said to be the most important sea area in the history of human civilization. If the world is regarded as a Go board, then we can see the most appropriate The 'Tian Yuan' in the world is the Mediterranean Sea. Countless brilliant civilizations have been born around this sea." Cheng Mo closed his eyes while holding the railing with both hands, and chanted in a low voice against the sea breeze, "I can see Xue when I close my eyes. Sith inspected his army on the shore of the Mediterranean Sea. On the strait, 25 troops threw their whips to stop the flow. 1207 warships and 3000 transport ships were responsible for covering the flanks. The decisive battle of the Greek Fleet. Seeing such a grand occasion, Xerxes said that he was the happiest man, and then wept bitterly. His uncle Artabanus asked him, "Why do you behave so differently, King! You said that you are a happy man." People, but now they can't cry?" He replied, "After thinking about it, a sense of compassion welled up in my heart. Human life is so short, so many warriors who are alive and well, how many of them will not be dust after a hundred years!"
If Xie Minyun was here, he would definitely think with Cheng Mo about the great sea battles in the Mediterranean Sea, count the thousands of years of grudges between Greece and the Persian Empire; or discuss the large-scale seasonal tuna hunting by Genoese fishing boats; Discuss the ancient Etruscans, early modern Berbers and Uskoks who formed pirate fleets cruising the Mediterranean Sea, and they robbed the coming and going merchant ships for silk, gold and spices; The behemoth 'quinquereme' is used to combat pirate activities and maintain the safety of trade routes.
However, Athena just asked uncertainly: "You should be talking about the Salamis naval battle!"
Cheng Mo nodded, Athena didn't have anything to say, she looked disinterested, this meant that Cheng Mo's passion that had been brewing for a long time had no place to release, so she could only mock herself and said: "I've already thought about it, I should wait a while." Closing with Manuel Alegre's "Westerly Tank," but it doesn't look like you're very interested."
"There is a shipwreck in every poem, and I don't know which poem is not the sea." Athena said softly.
This time it was Cheng Mo's turn to be a little surprised, "I thought you were not interested in history! Poetry! These are not interested at all." Athena walked out from the door frame, she walked to the railing, and raised her hand to grab the railing , the slanting sunlight shone on her face, making her face look like a piece of transparent jade, "My father likes this poem very much, and occasionally he would just stare at the sea in a daze without doing anything."
"There is probably no man who doesn't like the sea! My father is the same. Once he bought a sack of shells for a lot of money. Other fathers will always bring something delicious or fun for their children when they come back from abroad, but My dad brought back a bag of shells and spent more than 1 yuan. At that time, more than 1 yuan was not a small amount for our family. This made me so angry that I ignored it for several days. He, I didn’t forgive him until he posted those beautiful shells on the Internet and sold them for tens of thousands of dollars.” Cheng Mo shrugged his shoulders, “Now that I think about it, I regret it.”
"Regret selling those shells?"
"No." Cheng Mo said with some annoyance: "There are not only golden ax phoenix snails in those shells, but also bright red plantain snails, flame fragrant snails, and even a luminous flower thorn salamander, so many precious shells are sold. 3 yuan is simply too cheap.”
Athena turned her head to look at Cheng Mo, "Is there even a luminous snail? Are you sure it is a luminous snail, not a snail or a snail?"
"Of course I'm sure. My dad put it on the website for 250 Huaxia coins, but it was instantly stolen." Seeing Athena's eyes were a little confused, Cheng Mo Miao understood, and immediately explained, "Two thousand Huaxia coins are about [-] yuan. Oh." After a pause, Cheng Mo continued, "Two hundred and five also means a fool in China."
Athena agreed very much and said: "It's really silly that the luminous flower thorn salamander only sells for 250 Euros. If you want to sell it to me, I will ask for [-] Euros."
"It's a pity that I didn't know you at that time, and I missed a chance to make a fortune."
"Now that we know each other, it's still too late to make you rich." Athena said seriously.
Cheng Mo shook his head feigning regret, "It's too late."
"It's too late, I want to make it easy for you to get rich."
Athena's tone was quite unquestionable. Cheng Mo felt that Athena's straightforwardness was cute. He smiled and said, "It's too late for me to say, because I'm already a rich man."
"how much money you have?"
Cheng Mo was stunned for a moment, thinking about how Athena even Hydera and his own Uroboros could be abandoned like a shoe, and then thinking about the apparent wealth of the Onassis family, he said a little depressed: "How many It’s only a billion dollars, so it’s definitely not comparable to you.”
Athena thought for a while, "Billions of dollars are barely enough without buying skills and artifacts!" After a pause, she asked again, "You didn't have much money before, but now that you have money, do you feel happier than before?"
Cheng Mo shrugged his shoulders, "I haven't found the dialectical relationship between money and happiness so far."
Athena said with some regret: "I thought you had experienced a life from poor to rich, so you could draw a conclusion."
"There will be no conclusions about many things. It's like whether there is any meaning to life." Cheng Mo's tone is meaningful and intriguing.
Athena stared down at the blue sea with white waves rolling under her feet and said lightly: "Life is meaningless, it's quite boring."
"You can say it so easily if you haven't felt the threat of death. You know, when you die, you lose all possibilities. Only by living can you have infinite possibilities, including finding the meaning of your own life."
"It makes sense."
Cheng Mo turned his head and looked at Athena's profile and asked, "Didn't you French start studying philosophy in elementary school? Why do you feel like you don't know anything about philosophy?"
"I have never been to elementary school or junior high school. When I was young, I studied with my mother. She didn't teach me these things. The only subjects I could study when I was young were mathematics and physics."
"No wonder." Cheng Mo suddenly realized, and then he said, "Your parents must have high expectations for you on the road of the chosen one."
After finishing this sentence, there was no more text. In the middle of the conversation again, the two fell into silence for no reason. Maybe Cheng Mo's temptation was too deep, or maybe Athena didn't want to communicate with others, so she turned and walked into the room .
Cheng Mo is used to Athena's impolite way of ending conversations. While guessing what kind of childhood Athena experienced, he admired the immortal deep sea like poetry.
--------------------------
One night when the ship was about to sail into the sea of Iserel, it rained heavily on the Mediterranean Sea.The porthole, which Cheng Mo had pasted with a cardboard shell, was blown apart by the sea breeze mixed with rainwater in minutes, so the cold sea breeze poured into the room, instantly clearing away the warm atmosphere.
Cheng Mo, who was only covered with a thin blanket, was awakened by the cold, he shivered, got up and saw that Athena had just switched from the desk to the bed to watch "Crayon Shin-chan", she didn't care about the broken window at all, he Then I felt a little regretful, and felt that it was a bit of a mistake not to call someone to repair the porthole.
In view of the fact that the temperature is really low, it is a bit unbearable, and let the rainwater pour in like this, it will be even more difficult to clean up tomorrow, so Cheng Mo can only get up from the sofa and look for suitable objects in the room that can block the porthole.
After searching all over but couldn't find it, Cheng Mo remembered that there were stainless steel trays in the kitchen, so he went to the kitchen to find two stainless steel trays.He tried to use the "Seven Sins" to insert the tray into the porthole despite the raindrops flying against the window.Athena was still watching "Crayon Shin-chan" peacefully on the bed.
When Cheng Mo designed the notch according to the size of the porthole, he inadvertently saw faint lights floating in the wind and rain in the distance.
Cheng Mo has always been vigilant, so he immediately poured energy into his pupils, looked at the light in the darkness, and saw two warships, although they didn't hang the national flag, Cheng Mo could tell by their appearance that they were a French warship. A new generation of air defense ships "Horizon" class destroyers and an "Aquitaine" class frigate with integrated air defense and anti-submarine.
The tonnage of these two ships is more than [-] tons, and the weapon configuration is much higher than that of ordinary patrol ships. In particular, the air defense ships will be equipped with missiles aimed at the Chosen One. Air defense and anti-submarine ships appear together, not to protect the aircraft carrier , is to target the powerful Chosen One.
There is no doubt that the other party came for Athena who wiped out a Greek frigate a few days ago.
Cheng Mo thought to himself that luck was not good enough after all, and he was discovered by Ou Yu's people.Right now, neither he nor Athena has Ouroboros, and it is impossible to judge how many Chosen Ones are on the two warships, let alone whether Napoleon VII has come in person.He guessed that Napoleon VII should be busy cleaning up the mess in Greece and didn't have time to come, but it doesn't matter whether Napoleon VII comes or how many chosen ones come. In this case, there is no other choice but to hide.
Because there was a plan in advance, Cheng Mo did not panic. First, he finished the work at hand in an orderly manner, embedded the stainless steel tray into the porthole, then wiped off the water stains on the desk and the floor, and then cleaned the room. Only then said to Athena: "Clean up, let's hide in the dark layer of the engine room."
This plan had been told to Athena a long time ago, so Athena was not surprised. She got up and put on her coat, closed her notebook and stuffed it into her backpack, and then she carried her bag and prepared to walk out of the room with Cheng Mo.
Cheng Mo stood at the door and asked, "Why don't you put on the mask?"
"I'm going to hide anyway, what's the difference if I wear it or not?" Athena looked nonchalant, as if she didn't understand how dangerous the two of them were going to face.
Cheng Mo persuaded earnestly: "Maybe it will be more or less useful."
Athena was indifferent, "I don't remember where to throw it."
Before Athena's words fell, Cheng Mo said directly: "It's in the drawer of the bedside table on the left."
Athena nodded, turned around and walked to the bedside table on the left, opened the drawer and took out the human skin mask, walked towards Cheng Mo and said, "Put it on later."
Cheng Meruo had no choice but to walk out of the room first with Athena. He first went to the room of the captain Homero, woke up the sleepy Homero, and told him that a warship was approaching, and Homero in pajamas woke up immediately. He came over and asked in a panic: "How far is it? Should we change our course to avoid it?"
"No, just follow the plan." Cheng Mo said coldly.
Captain Homero said worriedly: "What if the other party asks us to return?"
"Impossible." Cheng Mo shook his head, "This is already in the waters of Iserel, and the relationship between Iserel and the Europa League is not good. They boarded the ship to find my companion, and they would not ask for that."
Captain Homero subconsciously looked at Athena who was hiding behind Cheng Mo, and the anxiety in his eyes suddenly turned into surprise and disbelief. He opened his mouth slightly, shook his head fiercely, and said dreamily: "Am I dreaming? It must be, otherwise how could there be such a beautiful woman in the world."
Cheng Mo snorted coldly, and warned with a blank face: "Captain Homero, I have to tell you that you must never betray us to ensure your own safety. If we are discovered, the entire ship will die. "
Captain Homero seemed bewitched, staring straight at Athena under the dim light, and murmured: "How can I betray you, even if I risk my life, I will not betray you."
Cheng Mo could hear that Captain Homero's words came from the heart, and he had to lament that he still underestimated the charm of Athena.He thought to himself that the magic power of a beautiful woman is so great that a cunning man like Captain Homero can't help saying something that goes against his character.Even though he thought so, Cheng Mo didn't mean to look down on Captain Homero, because he knew clearly that even a ruthless man like him would not be able to avoid being affected by Athena's alluring beauty.He sighed in his heart, raised his hand and patted Captain Homero's shoulder, and said in a low voice, "Remember what I told you, as long as you can reach Syria safely, I will give you 15 euros."
After being slapped heavily by Cheng Mo twice, Captain Homero woke up from Athena's dream-like face. He shivered, with a hint of shyness on his dark face, and stammered: "Qianqian. Nothing is that important"
"Don't talk about these meaningless things, you should be ready." After finishing speaking, he turned and walked towards the stairs, and Athena followed quietly.
Captain Homero stared at Athena's slender back until she disappeared around the corner of the corridor, and then said infatuatedly, "Okay."
-----------------------
Cheng Mo took Athena directly down to the engine room, where there is a very hidden interlayer under the main diesel crankcase in the engine room.This interlayer was originally used to hide drugs. According to the situation, it cannot be used to hide people at all, because the engine room is not only noisy, the temperature is usually as high as [-] to [-] degrees, and you must wear anti-static clothing, not anti-static clothing. There is a risk of electric shock when entering the cabin.
All in all, ordinary people would almost die if they wanted to hide in the engine room.
But these aspects are not a threat to Cheng Mo, and they are still a favorable cover.Because of such a suitable hiding place, Cheng Mo decided to do the opposite after careful consideration. Instead of disembarking in Aiji, he remained on the "Mediterranean Prelude".
There is no doubt that this decision is very risky, but it will allow Cheng Mo to solve Ou Yu's pursuit once and for all.
Cheng Mo dragged Athena to the back of the stairs in the engine room and waited for Captain Homero to call the personnel on duty in the engine room away. It didn't take long for him to hear the footsteps of the personnel on duty in the engine room leaving.When the footsteps of the other party's "Boom, Boom, Boom" went away, Cheng Mo took out the key he had prepared earlier, walked quickly to the door of the engine room and opened the door, and walked through the duty room with Athena to the heavy engine room door Before that, they called Athena to work together to unscrew the valve of the engine room, and the two entered the engine room one after the other.
The interior of the engine room is almost ten stories high. The huge main diesel engine stands in the center of the engine room, making a deafening roar. Cheng Mo handed Athena the anti-noise earplugs he had prepared long ago, while he himself did not wear anything. The loud noise carried Athena straight down the stairs surrounding the main diesel engine to the bottom floor.
The main diesel crankcase is at the stern of the bulk carrier. Because the ship has not stopped at this time, the crankshaft is still sitting and reciprocating, and the sound of rumbling machinery can be heard endlessly.Cheng Mo walked to the crankcase, which was about the size of a container. Next to the door of the third section, the "Seven Sins" appeared as screw clamps. One by one, he unscrewed the large screws surrounding the door, The screw was handed over to Athena, and the door was removed.
Immediately, the huge crankshaft and connecting rod appeared in front of the eyes of the two of them. The sweltering heat made Cheng Mo sweat profusely. He glanced at the fast-moving mechanical components exuding the shiny oil, and walked to the side to wipe the sweat off his forehead. , just bent slightly and reached into the crankcase to fumble for the switch hidden at the bottom.
Cheng Mo pressed lightly, and the sound of the amplifier sounded, and a gap appeared on the steel deck under the feet at the door of the third section, and it bounced slightly.He reinstalled the door first, then carefully lifted the thick steel deck, pointed to the mezzanine less than one meter high and said to Athena, "You go down first."
Without saying a word, Athena sat neatly on the edge of the mezzanine, stretched her legs into the mezzanine, slid lightly, and lay down on the mezzanine.After Athena entered, Cheng Mo also climbed into the mezzanine, and fastened the steel deck above her head tightly.
The area of the mezzanine is as large as the main diesel crankcase, but it is full of wooden boxes wrapped in air bubble plastic film, so the area that can accommodate two people is intentionally left open.As for the height, it was one or two centimeters higher than the coffin, which was not enough for people to sit up, so Cheng Mo and Athena could only lie side by side in a dark mezzanine.
Although Cheng Mo's nose lingers with a strong smell of engine oil, and his ears are filled with unbearable noises, not only the endless "da, da, da" sound of the main diesel engine, but also a series of strange sounds of the crankshaft driving the propeller to rotate the water, but Cheng Mo, who has infused energy in his cochlea, feels that the world is abnormally quiet, as if he is lying on a planet and listening to the long roar from the universe.
Cheng Mo closed his eyes, as if he saw the starlight in the sky, he felt strange, why would he feel romantic in a cramped, dark, hot and smelly mezzanine when it was obviously extremely dangerous.
He thought: Could it be because of Athena?He didn't want to think like this, so he resisted the urge to turn his head to look at Athena.However, Athena started to move, and it was inevitable that Cheng Mo would meet in the narrow space. He had to turn his head to look at Athena and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Hot." Athena's answer was simple and appalling.
Cheng Mo's vision could not be affected by being blind. He saw Athena lift her upper body slightly, and she was taking off the black pullover with some difficulty. contour.Inadvertently seeing that Athena was not wearing certain clothes, Cheng Mo quickly turned his head around and closed his eyes fiercely.
Those twinkling stars disappeared, leaving only a round of pure white and flawless first quarter moon, exuding the supreme light.Cheng Mo's heart skipped a beat, and the scorching air that could be tolerated before became unbearable.
Athena took off her coat, lay down again using the fleece jumper as a pillow, and sighed, "It would be great if I brought a glass of iced Coke."
Athena's cold and hard tone made Cheng Mo feel more and more like the scorching sun. He unzipped the zipper, took off his jacket with difficulty, and imitated Athena's example of folding the clothes into squares as a pillow and lying down in a T-shirt. it is good.Too bad taking the jacket off under the main diesel crankcase doesn't help at all.
Cheng Mo thought for a while, in such a hot environment, he couldn't hold on for a little longer to save energy, so he had to resort to the only [-]D-level skill he could use at the moment, "Frozen Ray".
Although it is only a [-]D skill and its lethality is not strong enough, it is definitely more than enough to be used as an air conditioner.But after a while, the temperature of Cheng Mo's whole body dropped.
Not long after, Athena felt the coolness from Cheng Mo's side, and leaned towards Cheng Mo without hesitation. Soon she found that the coolness came from Cheng Mo's body, so she turned her head and whispered in Cheng Mo's ear: "Why? Are you cold here?"
Before Cheng Mo could explain, Athena's hand was already on Cheng Mo's. Feeling the refreshing coolness, she immediately asked, "You used your skills? Why didn't you cool me down too?"
Cheng Mo quickly said: "It's not that I don't give it. My body has limited energy and ability. At most, I can only maintain my own temperature. I really can't control you." After a pause, Cheng Mo explained, " It's not like you didn't watch me make ice cups, it takes a long time to make ice cubes, do you think I did it on purpose?"
Athena seemed to agree with Cheng Mo's statement, and stopped talking, but got closer to Cheng Mo. Gradually, Cheng Mo's body was like a magnet, completely attracting Athena.But the temperature in the engine room was too high, and it was under the main diesel crankcase, so the temperature was even higher. Athena demanded endlessly for the coolness, and gradually squeezed Cheng Mo to the side of the wooden box.Even so, it still couldn't solve the problem. Athena's side near Cheng Mo was much cooler, but the other half was still so hot that she was sweating, soaking her T-shirt in a short while.And the feeling of ice and fire made Athena even more uncomfortable.
Athena was not an inkblot either, so she said flatly, "Turn around."
Cheng Mo was stunned for a moment and said, "Turn around?"
"Turn your body sideways, otherwise the contact surface between us is too small to cool down."
Athena spoke very straightforwardly, and there was no embarrassment in her tone.Other girls don't mind, Cheng Mo has no reason to be hypocritical, so he can only turn around and lie on his side facing the wooden box.He felt that Athena also turned around, and then Athena's slender hands stretched out from his neck, and hugged him in her arms, with her long legs clamped up, as if hugging him. Humanoid pillow
Cheng Mo's whole body was stiff, his mind went blank, he felt as if he flew into the sky and was surrounded by a cloud of soft clouds.
The rapid heartbeat and disordered breathing caught Athena's attention, and she asked puzzledly, "Why are you so nervous all of a sudden? Did you hear anything?"
Cheng Mo didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and thought: Don't you know how fierce and vicious your body is? ?He didn't dare to move at all, desperately suppressed the throbbing in his heart, and whispered: "No, you haven't been in love before?"
"No."
"Then you should also know that a boy and a girl must have a very intimate relationship to hug like this?"
Athena asked hesitantly, "Can't partners hug?"
"Male partners are fine." Cheng Mo thought about the awkward posture between himself and Athena, and then said immediately, "Even if it's a man and a man, it's not okay to hug like this."
"why?"
Cheng Mo said helplessly, "You haven't taken any philosophy class, history class, or physical hygiene class?"
"No."
Cheng Mo was speechless, "You really don't know that this kind of pose is an ambiguous pose that only couples can do?"
"Couples?" Athena was very surprised. She let go of her arms a little, and said naturally, "Don't think too much, I just use you as an ice cube."
Cheng Mo thought: "I don't think too much about it, you can treat me like an ice cube, but I can't stop treating you like an ice cube! It's really terrible!" But he couldn't find a solution for a while, At this time, the suffocating pressure on his back was no longer too obvious, and he was slightly relieved, but also a little lost.The restless heart struggled to get ashore in the hot spring, but immediately began to miss the warmth of Athena.Cheng Mo warned himself not to do this, he closed his eyes, clenched his fists, and began to calculate the "Riemann Hypothesis" in his brain to expel the incomparably charming illusion, and the illusion of Athena, the illusion that is close at hand.
Cheng Mo managed to restrain Qi Nian, but Athena clung to her again, and she said aggrievedly, "No, it's too hot."
Cheng Mo was once again broken by Wen Xiangnunyu, and he gave up his efforts weakly, accepted the reality of being forced to eat tofu, and fought against the soaring adrenaline and the rich imagination in his brain with all his strength.
Time slowly lingered in the sweet hardships, until Cheng Mo's body was stiff and his shoulders were numb.The interlayer is not Simmons after all, the steel plate is too hard, he said dryly, "Can you change the position?"
"Okay" Athena's voice was a little hazy, as if she was asleep, and she was not affected by any chemicals at all.
Cheng Mo moved his body carefully, and turned around at the same time as Athena in the claustrophobic space.Now Cheng Mo was leaning against Athena's back. Cheng Mo didn't want to hug Athena, but the feeling of his shoulders pressing on the steel plate was too uncomfortable.In addition, for some unspeakable reasons, the situation was even more embarrassing.
Cheng Mo persisted for a while, trying to shrink his body back, but Athena also shrank back with him, making him unavoidable, and it's not a problem to block him with his hands. When an embarrassing situation happened, he still whispered, "It won't work like this. If someone from heaven descends into the engine room, we won't be able to move at all. We have to adjust to a proper posture now."
Athena knew nothing about Cheng Mo's tortured situation, and replied very rigorously: "As long as you have enough contacts."
In order to prevent Athena from discovering his situation, Cheng Mo hurriedly said, "Go ahead."
Athena moved away her graceful body, and Cheng Mo was finally able to lie flat and solved the most embarrassing dilemma. He heaved a sigh of relief, stretched his right hand over Athena's slender neck, and hugged her whole body In my arms.At this time, Athena's entire body almost left the sandwich steel plate, leaning obliquely on Cheng Mo's body.
Athena completely regarded Cheng Mo as a pillow, she buried her head on Cheng Mo's shoulder, and murmured with a trace of tiredness: "This position is very comfortable."
"You are comfortable! What should I do?" Cheng Mo, who was full of warmth and soft jade, thought sadly. He tilted his head and glanced at Athena. Her eyes were closed, and her clean face showed a childish look. The pure, smooth blonde hair flowed down his fair cheeks to his chest, and the faint fragrance of the hair passed through the smell of engine oil and sneaked into his brain. Cheng Mo watched Athena as dynamic and soft as a Venus sculpture The body line, only felt that the brain was trembling.
Cheng Mo is not a gentleman, but he will not take the opportunity to take advantage of Athena, especially since Athena is still like a child in this respect, and he can't make himself appear uncultivated.So Cheng Mo closed his eyes, took a deep breath with a straight face, and began to calculate the "Riemann Hypothesis" in his brain, while monitoring the situation of the engine room through sound.
Time is viscous like melted sugar, and the flow rate becomes extremely slow.I don't know how long it took, but Athena, who seemed to be asleep in his arms, moved, raised her head and said softly, "How long will you stay?"
With a fresh scent of lemon sweetness rushing into Cheng Mo's nostrils, he subconsciously turned his head to look at Athena, her floating ruby-colored jade face was just a hair away, just a little bit away, his Lips were about to touch Athena's smooth forehead, Cheng Mo's heart swayed, and she almost couldn't help holding Athena even tighter in a trance.
At this moment, the sound of the door opening came from the direction of the duty room, followed by a deep and familiar voice, "After searching here, let's go. If she is on this ship, she will definitely not hide."
