Rebel Demon King

Chapter 1005 Monster and Moonlight (8)

(I wish everyone a happy Dragon Boat Festival)

It was already afternoon when we left the port, and the sunlight came in from a row of portholes beside the sofa, making the whole room warm and bright.

Cheng Mo first checked the room habitually and found no cameras or bugs before lying on the sofa and trying to fall asleep while the bulk carrier was shaking slightly, but for some reason, it was always difficult to fall asleep.He sat up again and turned his head to look out the porthole. Except that the glass of the porthole is a bit thick, which makes the scenery not so pure and clear, the view is still quite beautiful.

After all, the chief engineer's room is just below the pilothouse on the top floor of the ship building, the fifth floor of the ship building, but because the floor height is relatively short, the height is only equivalent to the fourth floor of an ordinary building, but if the height of the hull is added, then It's at least ten floors.

To put it bluntly, this room is also a serious high-rise sea view room. Although the hardware facilities of the room are much worse than those of a yacht, the roughness of this steel construction has a temperament of self-exile and wandering. completely different.

Cheng Mo closed his eyes and imagined it. The decks the size of several football fields were full of containers. The monstrous waves hit the bow of the ship and rolled past like a torrent. , and you stand on the ship tower overlooking the [-]-ton ship riding the wind and waves, you will definitely have a more intuitive understanding of people and the sea.

However, this is just imagination, and he still prefers to take a yacht like "Carpe Diem" in the Mediterranean.After all, the Mediterranean Sea is not the Pacific Ocean or the Atlantic Ocean, where the wind and waves are high all the year round. Waves of two or three meters high are normal. If there is a stormy weather, a huge wave of more than ten meters high or even tens of meters high, the scene of overwhelming mountains and seas is not considered. Rare.

The Mediterranean Sea is just a basically closed inland sea, with far less seawater than the ocean. In addition, it is affected by the climate of the subtropical high-pressure belt of atmospheric circulation. The Mediterranean Sea is hot and dry in summer and mild and rainy in winter, making it difficult to generate large wind waves. , very good for sailing.

This is the reason why he dared to drive a yacht across the Mediterranean in the past two years.From the perspective of history, this superior geographical condition is also one of the important reasons for the development of maritime trade in ancient Europe.

Two years later, he will take a bulk carrier from Athens to Antalya, which can be said to be a continuation of the previous escape journey, allowing him to complete the "feat" of running through the entire Mediterranean.

Unable to help the past and the past come to mind, Cheng Mo looked at the endless sparkling waves, the aquatic golden mandala covered the blue field, and his mind was full of the brilliant light that Xie Minyun burst out on top of the Eiffel Tower.At this moment, the unexploded thoughts of being locked up in the prison actually made him a little dejected when he left Athens.

Cheng Mo stared at the bright and broken flower garden, until the setting sun ignited those tiny gold into a huge cone-shaped fireworks, and then he woke up from those drowning sorrows, he pressed the pause button in his brain, and The hard-to-dispel pain sank back into the bottom of my heart, just like the sea hides all the turbulence underwater.

Seeing that the clock hanging on the wall had pointed to 05:30, and there was only half an hour left before the restaurant opened, Cheng Mo said to Athena who was sitting at the desk and using a notebook: "It's time to eat!"

Athena, who was burying her head in front of the computer, said without raising her head, "Bring it to me."

Up to now, Cheng Mo can no longer be regarded as an exquisite egoist, but his behavioral logic of pursuing pragmatism and consequentialism has not changed much.Before he got back his own Uroboros, Cheng Mo planned to confess Athena as his ancestor, and bowing down to Cheng Mo was not a problem at all, as long as he could afford the value he needed.

Therefore, how to be silent about Athena's attitude is entirely based on the consideration of interests, and it is definitely not his greed for Athena's body.This is due to Cheng Mo's high immunity to beautiful women, and also due to Athena's very "straight" personality.

Cheng Mo has always liked girls who are very feminine, soft like spring water, not like lumps of ice.For example, Teacher Shen and Bai Xiuxiu.As for Xie Minyun, she belongs to the kind of girl who looks like ice on the surface, but as long as she can walk into her heart, she can feel her softness.

In fact, Xie Minyun is very gentle and gentle to Cheng Mo, and Cheng Mo's heart is very clear.

And Athena is definitely not a girl like Xie Minyun who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside. Cheng Mo can be sure that she is not only cold on the outside, but also very steely on the inside. Falling in love with this kind of girl is probably like discussing philosophy with a brother. .

But when Cheng Mo looked down and saw Athena's pair E on the table, he suddenly realized that it was still very different.

There is no such thing as "brother" or "brother" between men. Athena is different. Falling in love with her can definitely climb to a new level of brotherly love.

Philosophy is absolutely impossible to feel such a joyful brotherhood.

Therefore, even if Athena's personality is not likable, she is still a unique beauty. The majestic general Napoleon VII is her licking dog, so what if he has been a servant for a few days?
"Are there any taboos?" When Cheng Mo asked this sentence, he had no evil thoughts in his eyes and nose.

"No." Athena still didn't look up, so she didn't notice the foothold of Cheng Mo's gaze, she stared at the computer screen and said lightly, "Let's have more caviar, steak and ham!"

Athena has become accustomed to the ignorance of common sense in life, and he said calmly: "The cafeteria may not have such high-end food."

"Then let's have more meat! And remember my coke and potato chips"

Cheng Mo walked out of the room with a "hmm", the space on the ship building was narrow, and only two people could pass through the corridor side by side, because there was still some time before dinner, Cheng Mo was not in a hurry to go to the kitchen, but was in the ship building It has always been his habit to walk around and observe the environment.

The entire ship building is in the shape of a pyramid, and the floor area is larger as it goes down. Therefore, the fifth floor where he lives is relatively small. There are only two rooms in total. A captain’s cabin is on the right and a chief engineer’s cabin is on the left. The sixth floor is the driver's cab, the fourth floor is much larger, and it is the rooms of the chief mate and the second mate and some management. small.The second floor is the canteen, dining room, entertainment room, Suez room, and hospital area.The ground floor is the laundry room, garbage incinerator room, cold storage, storage room, file room, and duty officer's office.

When Cheng Mo was on the first floor, he happened to meet Captain Homero who came out of the duty officer's office. Captain Homero was obviously stunned for a moment. After the door was closed, he said, "Good afternoon, Mr. Ryketska."

Captain Homero's performance made Cheng Mo think that maybe the other party had doubts about his identity.No matter how much he pretended to look like Rekitzka, the difference between his slightly immature voice and Rekitzka's sexy smoky voice was still obvious.But Reketska told himself that Captain Omeruo is an old fritter who only recognizes money and does not recognize people, which made Cheng Mo quite calm. He waved his hands and said in a low voice: "Good afternoon, Omeruo captain."

"Are you going to eat?" the tall and thin Captain Homero asked with a smile, two rows of white teeth showed under his dark red lips.His face does not have obvious protruding jaws and thick lips, which is quite different from the ape-like face of West African blacks, and belongs to the appearance of East African blacks who are closer to yellow people.

Ordinary people probably don’t know that blacks are different, that is, Cheng Mo’s family has inherited anthropology, he knows astronomy and geography, and he knows that Omero is a typical East African Sudanese family. It is characterized by thinness, long hands and long legs. He has dark skin and a flat face, so Captain Homero doesn't look as thick and simple as the West African blacks, making people think he is very shrewd.These are all consistent with what Cheng Mo learned from Reketska that Homero is a cunning Sudanese.

"Yes, but because it's not time yet, I'm going to take a walk on the deck and do some exercise." Cheng Mo's answer was all implying that Captain Homero knew that the canteen was on the second floor, and he also knew the dining time in the canteen. There is no opening to be found.

Captain Homero smiled and said, "What is there to do on the deck? Why don't I take you to the wheelhouse? Didn't you say you were interested in learning how to drive a freighter last time?"

Cheng Mo didn't know if this was a temptation from Captain Homero. Logically speaking, if Captain Homero was smart, he probably wouldn't want to know if he was Reickzka for the sake of money. Cheng Mo was skeptical, but replied impeccably, "I'm really interested in driving a ship, but have I told you that I want to learn how to drive a freighter?"

"Of course!" Captain Homero enthusiastically supported Cheng Mo's shoulder, inviting him to walk towards the stairs.

Cheng Mo became more and more puzzled, and this attitude didn't seem like a temptation. He began to speculate about various possibilities in his brain, but no matter how he thought about it, he didn't think that Homero, the captain from Sudan, would have any conflict with his real identity. connect.It's just that Cheng Mo has always been cautious, but he still secretly raised his vigilance, and followed Homero to the cab with all his energy.

It was the first time to come to the cockpit of Hailin, and Cheng Mo felt quite novel. From the layout and furnishings, the cockpit of the freighter was very similar to the starship in the science fiction film. For example, the high-back chairs placed in front of the rudder were exactly the same, but blue. The various instrument panels made of iron sheets look very primitive, and they don't have the high-tech feeling that the starship is full of display screens.

But in general, Cheng Mo can be sure that the prototype of the cockpit of the starship is the cockpit of the ocean ship, and of course it may be the cockpit of the aircraft carrier. In short, there is not much difference.

Captain Homero didn't wait for Cheng Mo to ask, and introduced the functions of each instrument panel and bridge to Cheng Mo. Only then did Cheng Mo know that the control of the ship is completed by the bridge personnel sending remote control signals to the engine room through the equipment. Yes, and the person who controls the direction and the speed is not the same person.

This is completely different from yacht driving, it is much more complicated and professional, especially this bulk carrier is still very backward, without electronic charts and automatic driving equipment, there is no way to drive this huge monster without systematic learning.

The strange knowledge in Chengmo's knowledge base increased a lot, and then went to the canteen on the second floor with Captain Homero.

The food on the ship was not particularly good, especially the "Mediterranean Prelude" was a bulk carrier belonging to a small shipping company in Sudan, and the food was even less good. More than 20 crew members have a total of four dishes, boiled potatoes, burritos, okra leaves and roast beef and mutton.The captain, the chief engineer, and Cheng Mo, who is the east of the ship, have their own small stoves, but there are only two more dishes: stewed beef and boiled prawns.

From the details of the meal, it can be found that all the crew members, including Captain Homero, are believers of Saint Laurent.Different from the noise Cheng Mo imagined, they ate very quietly, and even the sailors didn't talk much. It seemed that there was a sense of oppression that was about to rain among them.

This makes Cheng Mo a little strange, but he is not 100% sure whether all this has always been like this, or his own illusion.

Cheng Mo became more and more careful. He just ate a little bit and didn't stay in the cafeteria for a long time. He directly took a stainless steel basin with vegetables, made half a bowl of vegetables for Athena, and then accompanied by Captain Homero I went to the storage room to pick up the snacks, coke and ice cubes that Athena bought in the supermarket before returning to the room.

At this time, Athena had finished taking a shower, took off the human skin mask, and sat cross-legged on the bed. She tilted her head and wiped her wet long golden hair with a white towel.The sun has completely plunged into the sea, and only the last ray of afterglow is left to smudge the sky into blood. The half-curved crescent is looming behind the blue curtain, and the last bit of light slowly fades in the room. The picturesque side of Athena The face is gradually buried in the shadows, from the tip of the nose like a gall, to the cherry lips like a knife, to the long neck
There are crystal drops of water flowing under the straight shoulder blades, the loose white T-shirt is stretched high, and the water drips down the hillside along the hair, like transparent ink on the rice paper. The hem of the T-shirt hangs down on the long white legs, reflecting a scorching light, exuding the beautiful breath of summer.

Despite the howling cold wind outside the cabin, Cheng Mo still felt the heat raging in the room, as if he was witnessing a dream about summer, his body also became viscous.

Cheng Mo's blood was surging and he didn't dare to look any further. He turned around and closed the door, put the snacks, coke and ice cubes on the coffee table, and put the stainless steel basin for the dishes on the desk, and said in a low voice, "You can put it on now. Is it okay to take off the mask?"

Athena rubbed her long hair intently, and whispered, "I won't go out, and I won't let others in."

"Okay!" Cheng Mo felt that it was inappropriate for Athena to do this, but she was already like this, so she could only let her go, shrugged her shoulders helplessly, and said lightly, "You can eat first! When the food is cold, don't eat." It's delicious."

"Pour me a Coke." Athena got up and threw the towel on the bedside table casually. She brushed her long hair behind her and walked to the desk barefoot. She sat up straight without even looking at the dishes in the stainless steel basin. On the chair, picked up the knife and fork.

Cheng Mo resisted the urge to appreciate the attractive picture, went to the coffee table and poured Coke for Athena, put ice cubes and stuffed things that should be in the refrigerator, Cheng Mo sat back on the sofa and began to rest, He hasn't slept much for 37 hours, and he feels like his brain is all muddy.

"Why is today's Coke not as good as last night's?"

Cheng Mo reluctantly raised his lower eyelids, glanced at Athena who was holding a plastic cup, thought for a while and said in a low voice: "The unique taste of Coke comes from carbonated water, so the material of the cup will have a great impact on the taste of Coke. Specifically, glass and stainless steel, which are materials with fast heat conduction, will make Coke appear colder and taste better. In addition, different materials have different surface smoothness, resulting in different forms of accumulated foam. For example, the wall of a paper cup is easier to accumulate than a glass. Bubbles cause different mouthfeel. Taken together, glass cups and stainless steel cups are more suitable for cola than ceramic cups, plastic cups, and paper cups.”

"Isn't it because there was no lemon slice?"

Cheng Mo's analysis was as fierce as a tiger, but Athena was speechless. He closed his eyes and said vaguely: "Of course, there are no lemons, and this is one of the reasons."

"Then I want a glass." Athena ordered without hesitation.

Cheng Mo is one head and two big. According to his observation just now, there are no glass products on board. It should be for safety reasons, but in order not to be kicked to the deck by Athena, he still has to find a way to satisfy Athena's wish.Cheng Mo suppressed his drowsiness and stood up, "Maybe I have a better substitute than a glass."

Athena sat at the desk and stared at him without saying a word.The sky outside the porthole has been occupied by stars, and only the last traces of blood remain on the sea surface. With the appearance of Athena, this should be a beautiful picture, but the stainless steel basin in front of her destroys this beauty.

Cheng Mo reached out and took the plastic cup in Athena's hand, poured the Coke inside into the bathroom, and then filled the cup with mineral water. He covered the cup with his hand, mobilized the energy, and displayed a high proficiency To the "freezing ray" that can't be higher, start making ice cubes.

"Freezing Ray" is currently the only skill that Cheng Mo can use. This is due to the low energy consumption of "Freezing Ray", and also because this skill is the most used by Cheng Mo.

Cheng Mo made ice cubes countless times when he was a bartender, and everything is very familiar.But what the carrier can do in just a few seconds, the main body took a full 2 ​​minutes to freeze a piece of old ice that satisfies him in the cup.

Athena was eating grilled lamb chops, but her eyes were focused on watching Cheng Mo use the "Seven Sins" to draw circles along the cup, hollowing out the white ice cubes in the cup, leaving only the surrounding ice wall, and A perfectly round ice puck.

After making the ice cup, Cheng Mo poured the cola into it. "Chi la chi la!" The dark brown cola rolled and foamed in the cup made of ice, making a pleasant sound.

Athena couldn't wait to fetch the cup, but Cheng Mo slapped her hand away, and said bluntly, "Wait."

Athena who was stopped was not angry at all, and waited quietly like a good baby.Cheng Mo turned around and took out a lemon from the refrigerator, sliced ​​the lemon, put it into the cup, and then pushed the Coke in front of Athena, "It's ok."

Holding the lamb chops, Athena took a sip of Coke and narrowed her eyes happily.

Cheng Mo felt that his mind was heavy, and said in a low voice: "I need to sleep for a while, you pay attention to the surrounding situation. I always think this ship is a bit weird."

Athena said noncommittally: "You go to sleep, what if I want to drink Coke?"

Cheng Mo found two more plastic cups from the cabinet, drew gourds according to the same pattern, made two ice cups and put them in the freezer of the refrigerator. He turned to Athena and said, "You can change the cups when the ice balls are more than half melted."

Athena nodded.

Cheng Mo glanced at Athena's notebook and saw that she was actually playing a minesweeper game, he hesitated and asked, "Did you download any books or movies in your computer?"

Athena shook her head.

"Would you like to download while the internet is still available?"

"No interest."

"What do you usually like to do?"

"Do an experiment."

Cheng Mo waved his hand and said, "It's too bad, there is no laboratory on board."

"It's not that all ships don't have laboratories, but this one doesn't. I've lived on a ship with laboratories." Athena said seriously.

Cheng Mo knew that the Onassis family was known as the ship tycoon family and owned shares in at least a dozen ports and an unknown number of shipping companies. Most of the ports in Greece were under the control of the Onassis family.Athena lived a normal life on the scientific research ship, "It doesn't matter, do you have any other interests besides doing experiments?"

Athena thought for a while and said: "I can swim when I'm very bored, but it's not a hobby! I just think this kind of exercise is suitable for me."

Cheng Mo thought of the aquarium on the 99th floor of the Hydera Building, and he guessed that the aquarium was Athena's swimming pool, "It's too bad, there is no swimming pool on board."

"I don't like the pool, the pool is a bit small for me."

"What about the rest? Horseback riding? Golf? Skiing? Or Texas, or computer games?"

Athena shook her head.

Cheng Mo sighed and said, "Then you are really boring."

Athena ate barbecue and drank coke, did not speak, and acquiesced to Cheng Mo's statement.

Cheng Mo stared at Athena. She ignored Cheng Mo's gaze and concentrated on eating her own food. She didn't dislike the fact that the lamb chops in her hand were not high-end ingredients. She also enjoyed the cheap Coke in the cup.He suddenly realized that his thinking had gone wrong. After all, he was a dick and didn't understand the mentality of the ruling class who were born with everything.

In fact, whether it is Xie Minyun or Athena, they are full of longing for civilian life, just like "Kangxi Weifu Private Interview", living among ordinary people without being noticed is their greatest pleasure.

Of course, this is not suitable for an extremely ambitious leader like Napoleon VII.

Cheng Mo felt that he might know Athena better, and he tentatively said, "Do you want to watch cartoons?"

"Cartoon? Isn't that what children watch?"

Cheng Mo didn't explain that there are many adult-oriented cartoons, such as "****", "***", and "X on campus". He just said: "I know why you don't like watching movies or TV shows. , for you, the life shown in movies and TV is very boring, and you pay too much attention to logic, so you have to try cartoons that have nothing to do with real life and don’t need logic.”

"Really?" Athena was a little puzzled.

"Try it, it won't waste time anyway." Cheng Mo walked to Athena's side, bent down to support the table with one hand, and began to fiddle with the mouse with the other.Athena sat on the chair with her back straight. She had just taken a bath, and a moist fragrance was steaming from her body. The faint milk-like fragrance mixed with the sweetness of lemon was really delicious.Athena's golden hair passed through her ears and hung on her fair and round shoulders. A pure and lustful image was like an invisible hand plucking Cheng Mo's heartstrings.

Thinking that the woman next to him was the fiancée of Napoleon VII, he felt a little beast moving in his body, rolled his throat, Cheng Mo restrained his inner desire, opened Google, searched for "Crayon Shin-chan", he thought Only such nonsensical cartoons that don't require thinking can interest Athena with a high IQ.

After downloading the first episode, Cheng Mo clicked play.Athena stared at the screen expressionlessly, as if she was about to see it as a silent joke, but the warm and rich crayon-like scene surprised her. It was very childish, but it could also enhance the atmosphere.Then a house appeared, and a hostess named Miyu appeared. She was cooking, but no one could buy soy sauce for her, so she called her son, Nohara Shinnosuke.

Cheng silently observed Athena's expression, but unfortunately, the thick-browed Xiaoxin's funny appearance did not attract Athena's attention too much. It seemed that she didn't think Xiaoxin was cute and humorous. There was no emotion on his face, as if he was watching a movie. A movie that is so boring that you want to leave.

"Isn't it funny?" Cheng Mo asked.

Athena shook her head.

"Turn it off if you don't like it."

Cheng Mo sighed inwardly, thinking that he might have guessed wrong, he reached out to touch the mouse again, but unexpectedly, Athena held down his hand and said in a low voice, "I want to see it."

"Isn't it not funny?" Cheng Mo was a little surprised.

"It's not funny, but it's still watchable."

Athena stared at the screen without moving her eyes, especially when Xiaoxin was being beaten by a beautiful girl, she would watch it very seriously, and there would be a faint smile on the corners of her eyes and brows.This made Cheng Mo puzzled, he couldn't figure out what Athena liked in "Crayon Shin-chan", he could only be sure that Athena didn't like Xiaoxin's weirdness.

Cheng Mo couldn't think anymore, his brain was about to shut down, he helped Athena download many episodes of "Crayon Shin-chan", and quickly lay down on the sofa, when he closed his eyes, what appeared in his mind was "Crayon Shin-chan". In the opening scene of "Xiaoxin", the sun like salted egg yolk hangs on the railway bridge, and a tram rolls by.
Inexplicably, Cheng Mo felt warm.

He went to sleep.

I don't know how long I slept, but Cheng Mo vaguely heard a distant sound, like the sound of steel rubbing against each other.He raised his head in a daze, and there was silence in the air.Athena was wrapped in a blanket and curled up on the chair, with Coke in one hand and potato chips in the other, staring at the computer intently in the standard home girl posture, and the familiar voice of Crayon Shin-chan was still playing from the speakers.

Cheng Mo felt that he seemed to let Athena go further and further on the road of house girls.He lay down again and continued to sleep until the alarm bell rang.Cheng Mo got up again, Athena was still watching "Crayon Shinchan" at the desk, he bent his mouth and smiled silently, got up and walked to the porthole and looked down, only to see the patrol ship with the Greek flag flying Already leaning next to "Mediterranean Overture", a group of soldiers is boarding the ship.
