Rebel Demon King

Chapter 1241 Ragnarok of the Gods (19)

The starry sky near the equator is extremely dense. Cheng Mo drilled out of the "seahorse" and looked up to see the silver band of light. The sound of the surging waves echoed in his ears, but it did not damage the silence of the world. Silence, like the world is sleeping, only the moon shines in the sky like a night light.

Since completing the final ceremony on the back of the whale that day, they have not been out of the submarine since they entered the dense anti-submarine area of ​​the Stargate Fleet.Coming out again, Cheng Mo was still shocked by the vast starry sky. He raised his head and stared dazedly at the vast galaxy that would not dry up in billions of years, feeling his heartbeat beating with the flickering of starlight.

At this moment, his heartbeat is the heartbeat of the universe.

Maybe it was more than two days of happy time, maybe it was the joy of being truly integrated with Athena, Cheng Mo forgot all his troubles for a short time, and regarded this dangerous trip as a journey.He held the hand of Athena who was standing side by side with him, and whispered softly in the sea breeze: "I liked watching the stars when I was young. The first time my father took me to the mountains on the outskirts of the city to watch the stars was a Japanese translation." The English horoscope book. It was winter, I remember it very clearly, so the starry sky around Christmas was named Christmas starry sky, but people in Japan don’t celebrate Christmas, so it was translated as New Year’s starry sky, and our summer country The translator thinks that our New Year refers to the Lunar New Year, so it should be called "New Year's Day Starry Sky."

"What's the difference?" Athena turned her head to look at Cheng Mo, asking in puzzlement.

"There is no difference." Cheng Mo shook his head, "But because of the angle, you can see more stars at the equator."

Athena did not look up at the starry sky, but still stared at Cheng Mo and let out an "oh".

"Yeah." Cheng Mo smiled, "I just want to say that it will be New Year's Day in a few hours, and I have nothing to give you, so I thought about giving you a star."

"Send me a star?" Athena was a little puzzled.

Cheng Mo smiled and said, "But I haven't found it yet." After a pause, he said, "According to the International Astronomical Union's requirements for accepting naming, only the discoverer has the right to name stars. I haven't found it yet in the sky. That star, but I will definitely find it later, just like I found you.”

Athena didn't seem to find it romantic, but said in surprise: "So there is no star with my name in the sky? Am I not a god?"

"Hmm!" Cheng Mo thought that it was too early for him to take out the loan, and scratched his hair, "The original constellations were all named after demi-humans or demi-gods, not the name of the main god." He laughed For a moment, "Even if there is, it is 'Pallas Athena', not Athena Onassis Cheng"

Athena nodded, "Then I will look for it with you later."

Cheng Mo said a little depressed: "It feels like you don't really want it."

"No." Athena said, "I just wonder why people like stars."

"In ancient times, people used the stars to guide the direction, both on land and in the sea. So stars symbolize 'hope'. In this world, maybe there is nothing more important than 'hope'!" Cheng Mo looked up at the starry sky Smile, "And now, when I look up at the starry sky, at those distant stars and galaxies, I am actually looking at the past, because many of those stars have been annihilated, and now only the light that has gone through the entire history of the universe is cast on us. On the retina. Probably this is the memory of the universe. When we stand under the starry sky, what we appreciate is not just the stars, but the memory of the universe. I am like a star, like those who have flashed light in your life. So stars also symbolize indelible memories. It transcends life and death, and transcends time and space."

Athena looked up at the starry sky, with an imperceptible smile on her lips, and asked gently: "Then what do you want for New Year's Day?"

"One kiss is enough."

"Aren't these two days enough kisses?" At the end of this millennium, please hold me, even if there are only images.

"It's different, this time I want to engrave our kiss in the starlight." Cheng Mo stared at Athena, "Our image will also be sent to the stars thousands of light years away like starlight."

"Is this the romance of astronomers?"

"I'm not an astronomer, I haven't even graduated from university." Cheng Mo smiled, "However, I think astronomers are definitely one of the most romantic people."

"Then you are my exclusive astronomer." Athena said, then tilted her head and kissed him actively.

The milky white Milky Way floats like a veil on the velvety sky, spanning the north and south of the sky, and the dense stars blink non-stop, looking at the lovers in the world.

After a while, the two separated, Cheng Mo suppressed the urge to go back into the submarine again, and whispered, "Now let's go to the Garden of Eden!"

Athena nodded, closing her eyes as if in meditation.After a while, a blue whale swam to the side of the mini-submarine and opened its huge mouth. Its triangular mandible pointed vertically into the sky, and the sea water poured in, creating a few whirlpools, and soon the sea water filled the mandibular throat. The laryngeal sac in the abdomen, the white laryngeal sac unfolds like an accordion, filled with water, it looks no smaller than a 25-meter-long swimming pool.

Cheng Mo knew that the blue whale had a big mouth but a small throat, only the size of a basketball, and it was impossible to swallow people in. There was basically no danger, but he looked at the teeth of the ancient monster's mouth, which was like a brush. Still a little jittery.

"Is this the only way to go?" he asked.

"There are sonar surveillance around the Garden of Eden. It will be safer for us to hide in the mouth of the whale."

"Okay!" Cheng Mo put on the diving goggles.

Athena stepped on the observation window in front of the "Seahorse". With a little force, the sea water poured into the submarine, and the submarine began to sink slowly.Then she hugged Cheng Mo and jumped into the mouth of the blue whale. The blue whale closed its mouth, and the light in front of her eyes disappeared quickly, as if she had fallen into darkness. Only the sea water and the faint sound of inhalation remained.

Cheng Mo tightly grasped Athena's hand and floated in the sea.After a while, the mouth of the blue whale began to pressurize. As the sea water was slowly discharged, the pressure gradually increased, making people very uncomfortable, like the feeling of drowning.Cheng Mo held his breath, and gradually the sea water was emptied, and the two of them lay on the soft tongue of the blue whale.Without seawater, the surroundings are sticky, as if wrapped in a mass of squirming mud, a strong fishy smell hits Cheng Mo's nasal cavity through the diving goggles, making him extremely uncomfortable.In the darkness, Athena hugged him, and gave him breath, and he felt better when he smelled the fragrance of Athena's body.

After struggling like this for more than ten minutes, the blue whale opened its mouth again, and the sea water poured in. Athena rushed out against the sea water with Cheng Mo in her arms, and rushed out of the blue whale's huge mouth.

Cheng Mo looked back, and saw the huge blue whale shaking its head, turning around, swimming towards the direction it came from, and soon disappeared into the depths of the sea.

Athena floated up with him in her arms. As it got closer and closer to the sea level, the sea water became bluer and bluer. Cheng Mo could gradually see the black rocks of the island sunk under the water surface, surrounded by some strange fish and plankton. The rock drilled and drilled.Contrary to what Cheng Mo imagined, the rock was indeed covered with fine seaweed and attached with countless barnacles, but it was very flat, and there were obvious dividing lines, as if it was composed of stone strips one after another, like extremely The "Walls of Bimini" discovered by archaeologists.He looked down, and soon there was no light, and the city wall disappeared into the black water.

Athena swam out of the water with him in her arms, and the fresh sea breeze made him feel refreshed.Cheng Mo took off his diving goggles and Athena swam along the towering city wall. It didn't take long to find a ladder extending down to the sea, and the two of them swam over.

Cheng Mo climbed up the steps covered with seaweed, and stood up on the slippery steps. In the silence, the sea water splashed down from him, making the sound particularly loud.He washed off the mucus on his body, and after smelling that there was no peculiar smell, he walked up the stairs.

The moonlight shone like a wash, shining on the light beige stone steps. There was nothing at the end of the steps, and the walls on one side were full of ancient reliefs, but these reliefs were not only corroded by sea water beyond recognition, but also covered by many barnacles lost its original appearance.

Cheng Mo couldn't help walking to the wall, and looked at the reliefs in the hazy moonlight. The carvings on them were basically marine life, including whales, dolphins, sharks, conch, seahorses, etc., and ouroboros among them. The carving style is very abstract, somewhat similar to Sumerian carvings.

"Is it really the ruins of Atlantis?" Cheng Mo asked softly, rubbing the mottled reliefs.

Athena replied: "You know I don't have much research on history. I also heard Nebuchadnezzar mention it once."

"That should be."

Cheng Mo reluctantly pulled Athena up the stairs, probably because they were often submerged in water and no one cleaned them up. There were also many barnacles and dried algae attached to the stairs.The two of them didn't have shoes, so they could only avoid the barnacles that hurt their feet and choose a place to stay and walked to the top of the stairs.

Thinking of the Garden of Eden that Athena had described to him, Cheng Mo, who was full of expectations, couldn't wait to look around, thinking that he would see a shocking scene, such as tall ferns, low angiosperms and running dinosaurs, Anyway, it should be like Jurassic Park, no matter how bad it is, there should be the ruins of Atlantis.

Unexpectedly, there is not only no Jurassic Park, no Atlantis ruins on the entire island, but also no natural scenery, just a bare island covered with beige rocks.

He stopped, stood on the city wall and watched, and he could almost see the entire island under the moonlight.Except for a few sections of the city wall on the edge, there seems to be no buildings or plants on the island, and the island is not very big, about the size of a medium-sized airport, about the size of 7 or 8 football fields.At the end of the island, there is a mountain made of reefs, which looks like a pyramid from a distance.

This shocked Cheng Mo even more than seeing any unbelievable pictures, and his heart was full of "just this"?Standing on the edge of the city wall, he turned his head and asked, "Is this the Garden of Eden?"

Athena frowned and said in a low voice, "According to the coordinates, of course it is here."

"But it doesn't seem to be what you describe?"

"Every time we arrive at the Garden of Eden, the plane will close the blackout curtains, and we can't see the outside situation at all. Then we get off the plane from the bridge and go directly to the inside of a building. After another identity check, we can go from Enter the Garden of Eden in that building."

"Not here?"

"The Garden of Eden I saw definitely didn't look like this. It was a huge island, and there was a sea in the middle of the island. There were many ancient marine creatures in the sea. My sea dragon was taken away from there. There are also volcanoes, fields and dense jungles, and dinosaurs are not rare, but the number is not large, and they are all kept in some fixed places for people to study."

Cheng Mo looked at the pyramid-like hill at the end of the island, "Maybe the secret is there."

Athena nodded.

The two jumped off the city wall. The hard rocky road under their feet did not look very smooth, but every rock was smooth when they walked on it.They walked forward cautiously along the city wall. Before they had gone far, Athena suddenly pulled out the sword of Perseus from the void, and slashed towards the back like lightning.

Cheng Mo heard the whistling wind from behind, turned his head and saw Athena's black sharp blade slashing on a slender officer's sword that shone with silver light. neck.

Xi Shi, who was bent over under the pressure, had red hair fluttering in the sea breeze. She said loudly, "Madam Boss, it's me! It's me."

Athena put Perseus away, and walked back to Cheng Mo without saying a word.

Seeing that Xi Shi Chengmo was relieved, he smiled and said, "Can't we say hello properly?"

Xi Shi also put away his sword, and said with a smile: "I just want to see if the proprietress' strength has fully recovered! Otherwise, we'd better not enter this Garden of Eden."

"what happened?"

Xi Shi came over and didn't answer immediately, but frowned, twitched his nose and said, "What's the matter? You have a strange smell?"

Cheng Mo explained: "In order to avoid the sonar, we just came out of the whale's mouth, it may be a bit fishy."

"No, that's not right." Xi Shi shook her head. She approached Athena like a dog and sniffed at Athena's ups and downs. "Boss, you have a sensuality that you haven't seen before. No, it's feminine."

Cheng Mo was speechless, "What are you talking about?"

Xi Shi opened her eyes wide and said, "No, no. The proprietress and the boss are already the same?" She looked at Cheng Mo, "Congratulations, congratulations, boss, now I finally got what I wanted. Don't be afraid that the proprietress will be killed by Napoleon." Shiguai is gone!"

Cheng Mo said angrily, "Don't talk nonsense? Be careful that you'll be hacked."

"What nonsense? Boss, my nose is super sensitive. I can smell the springy smell of the boss lady!"

"Are you a dog?"

"I'm the boss' loyal dog!" Xi Shi leaned towards Cheng Mo, licked his lips and said, "Boss, your beautiful and sexy loyal dog hasn't tasted manliness for a long time!"

Athena turned a deaf ear and did not respond to Shish's presumptuous words.

Cheng Mo had no choice but to say, "Stop talking nonsense, and tell me what's going on now."

Xi Shi pursed his lips, shrugged his shoulders and said: "Now the big bosses of the Black Death are arguing over the position of the second general. The Garden of Eden has become a mess. People are being killed every day these days. But Nebuchadnezzar didn't care about anything, no one could see, there were rumors that he was injured, so Eden was a little bit out of control." She said, "Otherwise I wouldn't have had a chance to run outside to pick you up."

"Is Nebuchadnezzar injured?" Cheng Mo asked in a low voice.

Xi Shi nodded and said, "Yes, and the main body should be injured."

Cheng Mo pointed to the small hill at the end of the island, "Is that the entrance to the Garden of Eden?"

"Yes." Xi Shi said, "It was only two days ago that I roughly figured out that the Garden of Eden should actually be a relic, the oldest relic in history." She lowered her voice, "And it's the only one of ordinary people. You can also enter the ruins."

"What?" Cheng Mo was taken aback, and immediately felt that although the "Garden of Eden" was a place of relics was unexpected, it was natural, and he sighed softly, "So it is."
