(BGM—"4 AM (Feat. I Hate This Place)" singer: re:plus, if Netease Cloud can't play it, QQ Music has it)
Everyone held their breath subconsciously, as if witnessing the arrival of a demon god, as if this was not a battlefield in the Gobi wilderness, but a gloomy and solemn, evil and elegant altar.

Standing in the center of the altar, Cheng Mo sacrificed his heart and summoned a noble god from the darkness.

Even the demon god Shax was shocked, and watched Athena descend from the sky with his eyes wide open. When Athena landed on the ground like a butterfly and walked towards Cheng Mo, the demon Shax, who was stepping on Cheng Mo's palm, couldn't help but backed up a few steps.

Probably to hide his nervousness, Demon God Shax put his right hand on his chest, bowed slightly and said, "Good evening, respected Lord Asmodeus."

"Black Death" 72 The demon gods know that Athena is a lot of Beret, but almost no one knows that she is also the Asmodeus of the "Supreme Four Pillars".

However, even if the Demon God Shax told such an important secret, Athena didn't even look at the shining golden Demon God Shax, but just stared intently at Cheng Mo lying on the ground covered in bruises.

His expression was indifferent, but there was an imperceptible warmth in his eyes.

This warmth is like a little ember buried in black dust.

When Athena noticed that blood was still gushing from Cheng Mo's chest, she frowned.Demon God Shax immediately popped out a few balls of light from his fingers, and the golden balls of light fluttered and fell in the night wind. They fell into Cheng Mo's body, and those terrible wounds miraculously grew at a speed visible to the naked eye. heal.

As a result, Cheng Mo's pale face became a little more bloody. He wanted to raise his hand to straighten his messy hairstyle, but found that his hands were covered with sticky blood. He forced a smile, opened his lips full of blood foam, and whispered tremblingly Said: "It's too bad, let you see me in such a mess."

Athena didn't respond, she unloaded her backpack, unbuttoned her woolen coat, walked to Cheng Mo's side, stuck the long sword of Perseus beside her, then took off her coat and squatted down, The coat covered Cheng Mo's body, and then she sat down on the gravel ground calmly like this, holding Cheng Mo's arm and hugging him into her arms.

Under such a situation and environment, such a warm and affectionate behavior is quite beyond common sense, and everyone is dumbfounded.Demon God Shax's expression was particularly blank, and he even felt humiliated. His hands were trembling slightly, as if he was ready to release his skills at any time, but in the end he endured it, and let the movie-like picture continue with his eyes lowered. play.

Athena seemed completely oblivious to the surprised gazes around her.

In her world, no one else exists.

She looked down at Cheng Mo in her arms, and asked softly, "Is it still cold?"

A warm feeling completely overwhelmed Cheng Mo, making him suspect that everything in front of him was just a "dream of the void".

He blinked vigorously. Although Athena's face was illusory, the temperature in her arms was so real. The long-lasting aroma in her light breath diffused in the cool air, making him comfortable.Her bright pupils were like stars reflected in the deep blue lake, as if he could make ripples as long as he reached out and touched them.

The pain and disappointment were dispelled by Athena's soft embrace. Surrounded by powerful enemies and in full view, Cheng Mo felt a little inexplicably shy.But his strong self-esteem prevented him from avoiding Athena's direct gaze.But when he found that he couldn't observe any emotional fluctuations in Athena's iceberg-like face, he began to worry about gains and losses again, and even began to wonder why Athena came back.

He is afraid because of the "Lord of Plagues".

This thought made Cheng Mo sad, he thought he would never be disappointed by another person, but after all he is a mortal.

He will too.

So Cheng Mo gently shook his head leaning against Athena's arms, and pretended to ask casually, "Why didn't you go to Damascus?"

The moment he asked, his broken heart was speeding, probably because he had never been so tired and vulnerable in his not-so-long life.Cheng Mo felt that he had entered the age of middle-aged people ahead of time, and he couldn't escape the heavy responsibilities on his body, and he couldn't bear it. He was like a page of letter paper lying on the ground, which would be blown away by the strong wind at any time, or crushed into pieces. Dust.

Compared with him, Athena seemed so quiet.

Cheng Mo felt uneasy about this. He was worried that Athena's answer would not be satisfactory, and he was a little afraid that Athena would spy on his thoughts. He felt ashamed of his suspicion and couldn't wait to hear what Athena said. The words he expected.

He stared at Athena intently, feeling uneasy, like a defendant waiting for the verdict.

Athena didn't seem to feel the uneasiness in Cheng Mo's heart at all. She raised her hand and stroked the corner of Cheng Mo's lips, wiped off the blood for him, and asked, "Why did you come back?"

"Because." Cheng Mo hesitated for a while, but said frankly, "Because I want to try to change the world for my wife." He smiled wryly, and laughed at himself, "But in the end, I couldn't do anything Instead, he became a murderer, a liar, a murderer, and became a joke."

Athena was indifferent to the horrible words Cheng Mo used to describe himself, and she didn't seem to think that it was stupid for Cheng Mo to risk his life for a dead woman.She just listened carefully to Cheng Mo's explanation, thought for a while, and then said plainly: "I didn't go to Damascus, but I just wanted to ask you, is there anything else you want to say to me when we say goodbye?" She paused , who was always indifferent and arrogant to the point of being unreasonable, showed a deep seriousness, "I want to know."

Cheng Mo's fragile heart hanging high fell back to half of his chest, and Athena's answer was somewhat beyond his expectations, but he still didn't know whether the ending would be happy or sad.He said in a relaxed tone as much as possible: "Actually, at Fayer's house, I thought about what I would say to you when we parted, but in the end I couldn't say anything. Although I don't want to Saying goodbye to you, but I owe you too much." He smiled, "I have always been thick-skinned and selfish, but I haven't reached the point of repaying my favor."

"So... what was it that you failed to say?"

Cheng Mo turned his head away, avoiding Athena's cold and sharp gaze, he hesitated for a moment before he said softly, "When I was born, I felt that the world was terrible, not only because of my heart disease, but also because of this There are so many imperfections in the world, such as the death of innocent people due to war, the killing and destruction of beautiful creatures due to desire, and the constant disputes between people due to greed. People feel sad and humiliated. Of course, there are great and selfless people, and there are beautiful and warm confrontations. , it is impossible for people like them to settle in a corner and feel that everything has nothing to do with themselves. Of course I am not the one who will feel pain for other people's misfortunes. In fact, many times I have more compassion for nature than for human beings. I enjoy the benefits that this world brings me with peace of mind, but avoid the obligations that I should bear. At first I thought we were so compatible and we were both rational bystanders. But now I realize that I am far from what I thought He is so rational." He sighed, "I once said to you: Whenever the world shows me its beauty and cruelty again and again, I will bow to my desires, and I will want to ignore it, the world There are so many tragedies in my life, I will avoid them for as long as a momentary indulgence can allow me, I know you are a tragedy, I am a tragedy, we are all tragedies, so don't be stingy with your little love, and don't hesitate to know who I am. How about being alone, let's do our best to give each other a little comfort. I said that to you in the bilge of the 'Mediterranean Overture' and kissed you, remember?"

"Remember." Athena said lightly, "You still said that you don't know how much comfort you can give me, but as long as I give you a kiss, that's enough."

A faint blush appeared on Cheng Mo's white paper-like face, and his voice softened, like the sound of a lonely migratory bird flapping its wings, "At that time, I had gradually understood you, no matter what made us understand What was the cause of it, and what kind of situation we were in at that time, I am sure that I did not say these words to impress you. At that time, I really felt that in such a bad world, only we can give each other some Consolation, no, perhaps it should be said that we should comfort each other. It’s just that I dare not admit it, I’m afraid to admit it. I asked Captain Homero to sail, and I didn’t wait any longer. It’s not that I don’t believe you, but I’m avoiding myself, I An out-and-out coward.”

Cheng Mo untied a knot in Athena's heart, but tied another knot.This time she didn't ignore it, but asked directly: "Why do you want to escape?"

"On that night you will..." Cheng Mo didn't say "throw away Uroboros", he skipped the half sentence, "I knew that probably no one could understand your loneliness except me. Maybe Someone likes to play math guessing games as much as you; maybe someone will accompany you to watch "Crayon Shin-chan" until dawn; maybe someone can accept your indifference; maybe someone will cook all kinds of dishes for you; maybe someone will share with you Fighting and fighting; maybe someone can go out of their way for you just trying to make a good bottle of Coke. But I guess. No one happens to be a collection of all the conditions except me. The world is really bad, but some people can make each other The world has become beautiful, I don't know if this is love, I just know that the journey with you is beautiful. I can't tell how happy I am with you, in fact, I don't find it romantic at all, it's so ordinary , It seems no different from the ordinary life around us. Such a simple and casual life is everywhere in the world. But such an easy thing happened to us, but I can feel a kind of pure happiness, a kind of Happiness that requires thinking, it doesn't need much ideals, it doesn't need much construction, it just needs to open up a little bit, let each other see that broken heart, and try to comfort each other. But the amazing thing is, no one knows us The request is so simple, except that we understand each other. In this ridiculous era." He smiled wryly, "I know all this, and my feelings are so deep, but I am a coward! Know where the whips come from, they won't let me stop spinning, I'm so out of control, I still have questions to find out, and blood to avenge, my enemy is the most powerful in the world. I Know that I can't give you the life you want"

Cheng Mo fell silent, and the center of Athena's blue pupils lit up golden, brighter than moonlight.She stroked Cheng Mo's cheek, "Go on, I know you haven't finished yet."

Cheng Mo raised his eyes, stared intently at Athena's eyes, his bloodless lips trembled slightly, "I have never seen anyone smarter than you, I also know your strength and your family background, Knowing how amazing your beauty is. And me? I'm nothing more than a monster, and my hands are covered with blood, which will never be cleaned. In fact, I think I should have died. If it wasn't for my dead wife Give me strength, I owe her too much, so I have to do something for her." Cheng Mo closed his eyes, rolled his throat and said softly, "I want to change the world for her and fulfill her wish. I know that I am not strong enough alone, and I also know that I am not worthy of having you so...so."

"So what?" Athena grabbed Cheng Mo's blood-stained hand and squeezed him tightly.She didn't care about the sticky filth at all, and seemed willing to be stained by it. In the dry and cold night wind in Syria, their hands were trembling, but they all knew in their hearts that it was not because of the cold, but because of the cold. Some unspeakable tacit understanding.They know they are not as strong and invincible as others think.Like ordinary people, they have their own traumas that they don't want to talk about, sins that they don't want to talk about, and regrets that live in their hearts.

They all get hurt, and they all crave unconditional protection in times of vulnerability.

Others regard them as gods, but they wish they were mortals.

Cheng Mo took a deep breath, he opened his eyes again, and looked at Athena, there was only a few faint moonlight between the sky and the earth, it passed through the darkness and enveloped them, and in the silence, the cold wind howling on the Gobi could be heard, The stars are like wild flowers blooming in the lonely wasteland, fluttering in the wind one after another.There was a faint fire flickering in the distance, the helicopter had disappeared, armored vehicles and tanks made light noises as they pressed against the gravel, and the lights lingered in the cold air. How should the soldiers who were looking for the way feel?
"Can you lend me your life?"

Momo held his breath when he finished.This is the first time in Cheng Mo's life that he has asked others to make a promise to him. Even Xie Minyun has never asked her to promise himself anything.He is such a strong and suspicious person, he never trusts anyone.

But at this moment, he hopes that he can establish a strong relationship with Athena that goes beyond friendship. It is not because he is afraid of the threat of death, nor is it entirely due to the impulse of love, but a need, a pervasive urgent need .

From soul to desire.

He used to think that his life and future would lose direction with Xie Minyun, and he would become a migratory bird with nowhere to go, but now, a flame ignited in his heart.

Athena looked down at him, shining on him like a dull moon, and their colors were as cold as water, both far and near.She pursed her lips like a fiery red maple leaf in the moonlight. Cheng Mo felt that he might not be able to hold this maple leaf. In the lonely waiting, his heartbeat began to speed up. He regretted that he opened his mouth and asked Athena to respond own absurdity.He felt that it was impossible for him to get an answer from Athena.

The light in his eyes dimmed, and he felt as ridiculous as Don Quixote.

Want to make this world full of sadness and misfortune, cruelty and indifference better for the ones you love?
How absurd.

Athena's embrace was very warm, but it didn't belong to him.

Cheng Mo's heart was constricted and his breath was short of breath. The only remaining pride made him break away from Athena's hand holding him, and he struggled to sit up from Athena's arms.

Athena hugged him even tighter, she looked at Cheng Mo calmly, and asked seriously: "What do you give me back?"

This seemed to be the answer he was looking forward to, but he didn't have the confidence to be sure. He stared straight at Athena's face, which was more beautiful than happy times, and murmured without thinking: "Do you remember that there was a scene in "Crayon Shin-chan"?" Is the episode called "Reading is So Happy"? In this episode, Miya and Xiaoxin read a story called "Ordinary Taro's Ordinary Adventure""

"I remember." Athena said imitating Mei Ya's tone, "A long time ago, in an ordinary place, there lived a pair of very ordinary grandpa and grandma. One day, the grandpa said, old lady, we should eat Right. Seriously, didn’t we just eat it just now? Old man. Next door to this pair of old grandpa and old lady lived a man named Pingtaro. But Pingfan Taro is just an ordinary child, and he lived an ordinary life like this. Afterwards, he got married and lived an ordinary life, which is really gratifying!"

"For you, I am probably as ordinary as ordinary Taro, so there is really not much I can do for you. I am willing to study those esoteric mathematical conjectures with you, and I am also willing to accompany you to see Childish cartoon until dawn; I want to build the most magnificent and beautiful aquarium in the world with you, and I also want to cook all kinds of dishes with you. If I make a mistake, I will quarrel with you, but I will never leave you again, I will wait for you, and I will hold your hand." Cheng Mo took a deep breath, as if there was a raging fire in his chest that needed to be cooled He lowered his voice, trying to make his words sound flat, as if he was talking about a trivial matter, "I want to give you back a really good world, so that you and I can do the same." A man who lived his life in an ordinary life."

If Cheng Mo's progressive literary expression changes to a literary young woman, she must be moved or not, and she may already be in tears, but Athena is not only indifferent, but also quite confused.

Athena didn't speak, as if caught in a long exam.

Cheng Mo became nervous again, he was so nervous that he forgot what he said just now, his mind was in chaos, and his always sharp thinking became an indistinct mess, he opened his mouth to say something, maybe it was kind He was so eloquent that he couldn't find a suitable sentence for a while.

When the atmosphere became more and more dull, and even the demon god Shax who was standing aside couldn't help but speak, Athena probably calmed down the confusion in her heart, and she asked a shocking sentence in a flat tone.

"Are you proposing to me?"

Cheng Mo, who was in a mess in his head, was stunned for a moment, but nodded subconsciously. After nodding, he realized what he had done, and his weak body suddenly broke out in cold sweat. He thought: Why is it so fast? Into the proposal?But there seems to be nothing wrong with Athena's understanding in this way.

Just as he was about to explain that he was not so overconfident and daring, he felt Athena hold his hand again, and calmly said "I promise you", as if agreeing to an insignificant matter.

Although the English sentence is extremely simple, it sounds like it is composed of stars in the sky to Cheng Mo's ears.He could feel the weight of 100 years in Athena's light breath.

He almost stopped breathing, the beating of his heart and the flow of blood froze, and the explanation he almost blurted out was stuck in his throat like candy swallowed unintentionally.His chaotic thoughts were shredded by Athena's scissors, and his brain became blank.But he knew he couldn't and shouldn't reject Athena.For him, Athena has a fatal attraction, which is partly due to her attainments in mathematics. Cheng Mo always has a kind of heartfelt admiration for people with high IQs.But to him, the charm of Athena is of course not only high IQ and unparalleled beauty, but also the deep resonance extracted from certain similar experiences.

Besides, he wanted to recast the world, and he couldn't refuse Athena, which was the ideal situation.If he wants to change from a monster to an emperor who creates a new world, there is no more suitable queen than Athena, which can make him get twice the result with half the effort.What's more, in the current situation, how could he refuse?
He thought: This world is really wonderful, a monster has learned feelings, wants to be crowned, and is ready to change this terrible world for a girl, so he gave his feelings to another monster.

Cheng Mo didn't know what he should say to Athena. Although the gentleness and strength Xie Minyun gave him far surpassed Athena, the pressure was also unparalleled.Many times he couldn't find trust and comfort in that girl with an overwhelming sense of justice, but Athena could.

It's just that he didn't understand why Athena agreed. This was Cheng Mo's confusion. He raised his left hand full of dried blood, put Athena's long golden hair behind her ear, and stared closely at her pupils, very uncomfortable. Confidently asked: "Why?"

Athena shook her head naturally, and she whispered: "I don't know why, but I know it's not impulsive. In fact, I have no illusions about love. I don't long for those sweet words of love, nor do I want extravagant rings." I don't even know what it is to be touched or sad, but I know that when I am with you, I can feel a taste of happiness, just like the lemon mousse cake my mother made for me many years ago, Every time I think of it, there will always be sour sweetness in my heart. And you, when I think of you, I will think of the special Coke you made for me, and when I drink Coke, I will also think of you."

Cheng Mo smiled and asked softly, "Then what do I smell like?"

"It's a bit stimulating, a bit bitter, and a bit sweet, like a potion, but also a pleasant taste that can make people addicted"

"Anyway, as long as you like it." Cheng Mo pinched the two of them and held hands tightly, "I don't know how to express my feelings, anyway, I am very grateful."

Athena nodded and shook her head, and then said as a matter of course: "Don't be too grateful, I'm just used to and want to rely on you, not to mention... I don't know how to be a qualified wife."

"Just be yourself at ease." Cheng Mo said softly.

"We can think about these things slowly. You are already very tired, so take a good rest first. Also. No matter what you want this world to be, I will pamper you. Whoever dares to stop you, I will split him open head of

This warm and murderous wedding prayer made the Gobi, ruled by night, colder and colder.

Cheng Mo looked at Athena Xiao Sha's side face brightened, then remembered the fact that Athena didn't have "Ouroboros", he asked softly: "Do you have enough energy?"

"Not enough." Athena said lightly, "But it should be enough for you to kiss me now."

Cheng Mo said solemnly: "This demon god Shax is a bit powerful, and he also has a holy robe."

Hearing what Cheng Mo said, Athena turned her head and looked at the shining golden Shax demon standing beside her. She pondered for a while, and then said to Cheng Mo with an air of dominance: "Then kiss a few more times."
