Birth of a Goddess [Comprehensive English and American]

At two o'clock in the middle of the night, the streets full of feasting and feasting have already fallen into silence. On the roads of Baltimore City, there are only pale lights falling on the ground. In such a quiet time of night, the lonely buildings with lights expose the loneliness and embarrassment of the city in a jerky In the air, like a monster with its mouth wide open, swallowing people with numb faces coming and going.

Bobby is a front desk attendant in a hotel in Baltimore. At this moment when most people are asleep, she is still sitting at the front desk. From the surveillance video, Bobby's mouth is slightly raised, with a flawless expression on his face. The service industry standard smile, even if there is no one in front of her, is like a good employee who can't be punished.

But in fact, Bobby's lips fluttered lightly, "Who else would come to the hotel at such a late hour...and which blind guy would come to the hotel at such a strange time... The law and order in Baltimore is not bad, and there will never be serial killers like Los Angeles..." She kept whispering in her mouth, killing her boring night shift, but her mind couldn't help but outline everything. The appearance of a murderer.

A gust of cool wind hit, and Bobby couldn't help shivering slightly.

At this moment, a red figure suddenly appeared through the revolving glass door, and a man wearing a dark red hoodie walked into the hotel lobby.

His footsteps were very light, the huge hood covered most of his face, only the faint blue stubble on his chin was exposed, and the shadow fell from the side, exactly like the perverted killer that Bobby imagined in the middle of the night.

Bobby's face was calm, but the beating heart in his chest seemed to be about to explode in the next moment, and his fingers had already unknowingly pinched his thigh under the table.Facing the man who was walking step by step to the front desk, Bobby had a standard smile on his face, "Hello, guest, what do you need?" But if you observe carefully, you can clearly see that there is nothing hidden in her smile. Live that a trace of stiffness.

This strange guest in the middle of the night didn't raise his head at all, but just opened his mouth, "I made a reservation before, and the flight was delayed today, so I'm here now." His voice was hoarse and deep, and there was a faint feeling in his ears. uncomfortable.

"Oh, okay." In the end, it was professionalism that prevailed. Bobby was still afraid of his previous guess, but he had already started to move proficiently, "Excuse me, what is the room number you reserved..."

"F-4018." The man paused for a while, and then announced a series of words.

"F, 4, 0, 1, 8..." Bobby entered this string of numbers and letters into the system, and the guest's information immediately popped up.

Hester Harris, a New York native and financial industry practitioner, had booked the room a week earlier.

Bobby breathed a sigh of relief silently in her heart, and put on an impeccable smile on her face, "Then I'll get the room card for you." After she finished speaking, she turned around to find the place where the room card was placed, and turned to "F-4018" location but found that the room card is no longer there.

"Strange..." Bobby muttered in a low voice, took out the spare room card, and silently made a note in his heart that he would report to the management tomorrow that the "F-4018" room card was lost.

The man took the room card, thanked him hoarsely, then turned and walked towards the elevator.

Bobby looked at the man's back, and suddenly a flash of light hit her brain, and Bobby slapped her head violently.Oops, she said why "F-4018" sounds so familiar, isn't this the room number that Eliza Lin checked into a few days ago?

Thinking of this, Bobby immediately entered the name of "Eliza Lin" into the system, but the room number of "F-4019" was displayed.

Did she make a mistake?

……

Just when Bobby was puzzled, the man in the hoodie had already arrived at the door of "F-4018".He first stood at the door for a while, and he didn't put the room card on the sensor until the notification sound that the corridor monitoring system had been replaced came from the headset.

Walking into the room, the man's ears were constantly bombarded by the sound waves coming towards him. Under such a direct impact, his eyes quickly swept across the room.

One...two...three...

There were loud sounds from all three machines, including the TV, and these sounds were mixed together. It was no wonder that I heard such a noisy background sound when talking on the phone.

The man walked into the room, walked around the living room and the kitchen, and found the little piece of golden hair behind the bed.His pace slowed down, he walked around the bed and squatted down next to the woman.

The blond woman had two unnatural blushes on her cheeks, and the man could feel the smell of alcohol without getting close. His eyes fell on the pile of empty wine bottles lying on the ground next to the woman, and he was silent in his heart. He carefully calculated how much wine she drank, and the approximate number jumped out of his mind almost immediately.

He squatted down in front of the blond woman with a sullen face, watching her raise the glass drunkenly without saying a word, and poured it into his mouth as if he was dying.He had never seen a blond woman like this since he knew her.

Just after she drank the bottle of wine in her hand, and shook it upside down with her hand, but nothing dripped, a trace of confusion flashed in her eyes, but soon she drank the bottle that she had just emptied. The bottle was thrown aside.She threw it so hard that the wine bottle knocked against the corner of the cabinet, and a hole was split almost immediately.

The blond woman didn't seem to care at all, she groped around for a while, raised a new wine bottle, and was about to pour it into her mouth.

"Enough!" The man finally couldn't help yelling, he grabbed the wrist of the blond woman pinching the wine bottle, one knee lightly touched the ground, and the other hand flipped open his wide-brimmed hat, revealing caramel-colored hair. big eyes.

Tony stared at the flushed Elisa, not sure if she was still conscious.

After Elisa hung up the phone suddenly, he left Stark Tower almost immediately, and when he boarded the private jet, he had already located the approximate location of Eliza.He hacked into the system of the hotel where Elisa was staying in advance, changed a perfect fake identity to the room where Elisa was staying, and moved Elisa's check-in information to the next room. Eliza's hotel room.

The picture he imagined in his mind before coming here didn't happen, but seeing Elisa in such a drunk state, Tony still couldn't help scolding.

As if frightened by the scolding, Eliza shuddered, and almost immediately stopped what she was doing, obediently allowing Tony to take the wine bottle she was holding, got up from the ground and sat on the edge of the bed .

After finishing all this work, Tony sat next to Elisa and looked straight into those watery blue eyes, which were full of panic and uneasiness, like a frightened deer in the forest.Tony accidentally touched her arm and felt her tremble violently.

A trace of thought flashed across Tony's eyes, but he intentionally distanced himself from Elisa.He didn't play sloppy, but asked straightforwardly, "Eliza, do you know something?" He stared closely at Elisa's face, and saw that her eyes were almost immediately filled with despair. look.

"Hehehe..." Eliza laughed softly, but it was uglier than crying. She gently pulled the corners of her mouth, but couldn't even squeeze out a smile, "Yes, I know, I know I learned a lot of things that I never knew before." Her voice became lower and lower.

Seeing Eliza's reaction, Tony has basically confirmed his guess.

"But, why is it like this?" Elisa's eyes fell on the ground, her light eyelashes fluttering uncomfortably, "How could it be like this?"

Elisa read it twice in a row, and the tears couldn't stop falling, "It's because of me...ha, it's all because of me..." As if she couldn't feel the pain anymore, she pressed her fingers tightly Pinch it into the palm of your hand, and the blood flowed out from the cracks in the nails and penetrated into the snow-white quilt, which was shocking.

Tony didn't care that when he touched Elisa, her body trembled violently. He stretched out his hand to hold Eliza's cheek, forcing her to look up into his eyes, and said seriously, "It's not your problem. You don't know about it. What's more, it hasn't been completely determined yet. Don't you remember the gemstone I put there? Maybe it's because of the radiation produced by the gemstone?"

Tony looked at the confused look on Elisa's face. He was not sure whether Elisa could understand what he said under such circumstances, but he must say these words.

"It's not your fault, Eliza." Tony re-emphasized the sentence forcefully.

Elisa's face was still stained with undried tears. She stared blankly at Tony, as if she was struggling to understand what he said, but she didn't seem to listen to anything.

Suddenly, Tony felt a pain in his chest, and a figure bumped into his arms.The next moment, there was a sudden cry in the room. It was Eliza crying, and the crying that was suppressed forcibly but could not be suppressed all the time. It was heartbreaking and echoed in the room shrouded in night.

From Tony's perspective, he could only see the trembling shoulders under the blond hair. He silently hugged Elisa and patted her on the back, as if recalling something, with a gloomy look in his eyes.

The camera is still flickering faintly.

Amid the woman's crying, Tony suddenly spoke and said to the cold air, "Stop all monitoring of this room."

Soon, a male voice came out of his Bluetooth headset, "Yes, sir."

……

Until the woman fell into a deep sleep, Tony did not leave, but sat quietly by the bed and watched the woman's sleeping face.Her cheeks were still stained with tears, and she was frowning tightly even in her sleep.

Tony stretched out his hand to smooth the center of her brow, but when he stretched his hand halfway, he seemed to think of something suddenly, the light in his eyes slowly went out, and his fingers suddenly retracted to the palm of his hand.

His eyes hurriedly moved away, and were fixed on Eliza's bloody palm.

Tony turned and left, and returned to the room with a bottle of iodophor not long after.He squatted down by the bed, took out a cotton swab and dipped it in iodophor, and just before touching Eliza's wound, he lightened his strength and applied it to every small wound gently and meticulously.Eliza, who was sleeping, suddenly let out a slight sob, and Tony's hands froze, and once again eased the pressure.

The night slowly recedes from the sky, returning all the shadows of the building, the light blue dome is inlaid with a few stars, on the street with no traffic, the hustle and bustle of the city evaporates without a trace

The blond woman on the bed flickered her eyelashes a few times, and slowly opened her eyes. She moved her hand lightly, but the back of her hand touched the top of her soft hair.

Eliza froze for a moment, her eyes shifted to the familiar side face beside her hand, and she was stunned for a while.

Wasn't it a dream last night...
