Rebel Demon King

Chapter 1188 Dark Stage - Capriccio (2)

The operation of the "Winter Palace" is not complicated. It was divided into two parts before. The "Utopia" and the "Nation of Underworld" were under the control of Soviet scientists headed by Arnold Vladimir, while the "Winter Palace" was under the control of Paul XIV.

As for the launch of nuclear bombs, not only the authorization of the leader of the "Sunflower Banner" was required at the beginning, but also the joint decision of Arnold Vladimir and Paul XIV.But because the Soviets have been reduced to dust, since Akhromeyev committed suicide on August 1991, 8, these 24 "tsars" have been completely under the joint control of Arnold Vladimir and Paul XIV.

To put it simply, the current "Winter Palace" is the scientists headed by Arnold Vladimir who are responsible for providing profitable content, while Paul XIV is responsible for the operation and security of the Winter Palace.

The nuclear power plant requested by Cheng Mosuo is a submersible nuclear reactor, which is independent of the "Winter Palace" and provides energy for the "Winter Palace" somewhere on the seabed under the island.In the era of the two giants, the control of nuclear power plants is not an important matter, but Cheng Mo's "Winter Palace" can maintain the balance of power after Yan Funing joins, so the nuclear power plant becomes important.

After Paul XIV handed over the management authority of the nuclear power plant to Yan Funing, the "Winter Palace" entered a three-person co-management mode. This is actually a good thing for the "Winter Palace" that is already in a semi-paralyzed state. There is one more person in charge.

Cheng Mo did not participate in the discussion about the division of powers and responsibilities among the three people, but left the meeting room after the handover was completed.Yan Yitong, who was standing against the wall, saw Cheng Mo coming out, and immediately asked, "Where's my brother?"

"He still has something to do. I guess he will have to wait for a while." Cheng Mo replied.

"Oh~~ That's so boring!" Yan Yitong said with his hands behind his back, "How about we find a place to play?"

"Where do you want to play?"

"Let's go to the fourth floor! The fourth floor is the activity room, where there are billiards, indoor golf, squash, table tennis, PSP and wii." Yan Yitong grabbed Cheng Mo's hand and dragged him towards the exit of the corridor, "There can watch movies”

Cheng Mo let out a "hmm" and followed Yan Yitong into the control center hall. The signal can only be restored after launching a communication satellite, so the three big screens are all blue canvases.

When the two of them walked past the circular three-dimensional projector, a bunch of colorful ripples that were difficult to detect with the naked eye rippled in the air.Cheng Mo glanced at the colorful fluorescent lights, silently followed Yan Yitong up the long steps, through the corridor full of canned brain flower on both sides, and came to the elevator entrance.

At this time, a simple elevator has been installed in the elevator shaft, and it can only reach the fourth floor at the highest. If you go up from the fourth floor, you must climb the safety ladder.

Yan Yitong took Cheng Mo's hand and jumped onto the elevator, pressed the switch, and the red warning light on the elevator guardrail spun, and amidst the mechanical sound of "buzz, buzz, buzz", the two reached the fourth floor.

This is the activity room of the senior members of the "Winter Palace".After getting out of the elevator, there are several billiard tables, and a little farther away is a table tennis table. The activity room covered with blue carpet is empty.

"What are we playing? Billiards?" Cheng Mo looked around, and finally landed on the corner where the TV and PSP were installed, "Still playing games?"

Yan Yitong shook her head, she pointed to the door on the side edge of the activity room and said, "Isn't that a movie theater? Let's go to the movies."

"Row."

The two walked into the pitch-black projection room holding hands. Cheng Mo found the light switch by the door and lit up the not-so-large space. There were only sixteen red luxury sofa chairs in the entire projection room, in groups of two. , two groups in a row, the layout is similar to domestic VIP halls.

Cheng Mo asked Yan Yitong to find a seat, while he went to the projector room at the back.The projection system was similar to the video-on-demand system of a home theater. He turned on the computer and looked at it, and asked loudly at the door: "Tongtong, what movie do you want to watch?"

Yan Yitong, who was already seated, also replied loudly: "Whatever, let's go for a romantic movie! It's pure love~~~ It's best to have some childhood sweetheart plot!"

"But can you speak English well? How about we go outside and play some games?" Cheng Mo asked again.

"No, I'm going to watch a movie. Anyway, I have passed CET-[-]! If I really don't understand, I can ask you."

"it is good."

Cheng Mo began to flip through the movie sources in the computer, every page was either a blockbuster special effects movie, a war movie or a suspense movie, where there was no shadow of a romance movie.

In fact, there are also romance films, but the purity of this kind of romance film is a bit high, so high that the actors don't wear much clothes.He turned from the first page to the last page, and finally saw a movie called "Flipped" at the end. Seeing that the cover showed a boy and a girl sitting on a branch of a big tree, he knew that this movie fit the bill. Yan Yitong's request.

As if specially prepared for them.

So Cheng Mo clicked play and walked out of the projector room.I went to the door and turned off the lights, and the projection room was plunged into darkness, only the beam of light from the projector pierced through the silent and dark air, casting a colorful picture on the white curtain.

"I'll get you a Coke and popcorn."

"Okay!" Yan Yitong replied, "Hurry up!"

Cheng Mo opened the door, walked out of the movie screening room, took Coke, potato chips, and a big bucket of popcorn from the counter beside him.When I came in, just after the opening credits of the movie, a cute little girl's face appeared on the screen, she was sitting on the curb.Then a little boy with combed back hair passed in front of the little girl in a car.

Cheng Mo walked quickly to Yan Yitong's side, handed the popcorn to Yan Yitong, and asked in a low voice, "Do you really understand?"

"I really wish Julie Baker would stop pestering me. It all started in the summer of 1957." Yan Yitong took the popcorn and read the first line of the movie directly, and then said with a smile, "Cheng Mo, why are you so nice to me all of a sudden?"

Cheng Mo put the coke and potato chips in his hands on the small table in the middle of the sofa, and whispered, "Because I promised you that I would protect you."

Yan Yitong was so surprised that he even scared the popcorn in his hand, "Ah!? When did it happen?"

Cheng Mo unscrewed the bottle cap, took a sip of Coke, and said, "Not long ago."

"Why don't I remember anything?" Yan Yitong said suspiciously.

Cheng Mo was silent for a while and said, "A lot of things actually happened just now."

"Really?" Yan Yitong asked confusedly, "What happened!?"

"Let's watch a movie!" Cheng Mo smiled and stared at the screen, "Let's watch a movie first."

"Oh."

Amidst the lingering English dialogue, they stopped talking and concentrated on watching the movie.

The plot of the movie is very simple. It is about the hero Bryce and his family moving to a small town, and the heroine, the girl next door, Julie, saw it and came to help.So the little girl Julie fell in love with the hero at first sight, and made a wish to get his kiss.

The two are classmates, so Julie has been trying to get close to him, but he can't avoid it.Julie's favorite thing is to climb on the tall plane trees to see the scenery.But because of the construction, the tree was going to be cut down. Julie, who got it all, defended it to the death, and hoped that the hero Bryce would fight side by side with her, but Bryce flinched.In the end, it was Julie who prevented the big tree from being cut down, and her story was published in the newspaper.

Because of these things, Bryce's grandfather has a good impression of the heroine, which makes Bryce very confused.So Bryce had a conversation with Grandpa.

Here appeared a famous line that Cheng Mo knew, and Yan Yitong also recited in a low voice: "Some of us get dipped in flat, some in satin, some in gloss But every once in a while you find someone who's iridescent , and when you do, nothing will ever compare." (Some people live in high-rise buildings, some people live in deep ditch, some people are radiant, some people are covered in rust, there are thousands of kinds of people in the world, don't go for clouds, people are like rainbows, and you will know when you meet them)

"Have you seen it?" Cheng Mo asked.

Yan Yitong turned his head to look at Cheng Mo, blinked and said, "I'm from Nortel! How could it be possible that I haven't seen such a classic movie?"

Cheng Mo laughed, "That's right." He took a sip of Coca-Cola, and the sound of "Gudu, Gudu" sounded.

"I can recite all the lines." Yan Yitong also raised the red Coca-Cola bottle and took a big sip of Coke. She put down the bottle, wiped her mouth, and said with a long sigh, "Coke is so delicious!"

"is it?"

"Yeah, this is my favorite movie." Yan Yitong muttered, "After a while, Julie will win the No.1 Science and Technology Exhibition with the project of chicken laying eggs, and become the focus of the audience. She will make Bryce pale in comparison. Then Zhu Li gave Bryce her own eggs, but Bryce heard what the family said and suspected that Julie’s eggs were unhygienic, so he secretly threw them away. Every time I see this, I cry.”

"Then shall I get the tissues ready for you?"

"No, I don't think I will cry this time!" Yan Yitong said with a smile, "Now I am protected by someone I like!"

"So you really don't remember anything?" Cheng Mo asked casually, "From childhood to adulthood, what happened in the past, for example, how you came to the Winter Palace from Ozhou, you don't remember the same thing ?"

Yan Yitong grabbed a handful of popcorn, thought for a while before answering: "You ask me that, I feel like I've lost a lot of memory, but when I really think about it, there seems to be nothing worth mentioning." After a pause, she seemed like It was a flash of inspiration and said, "I remember that I used to live in the capital, but then I moved to Xingcheng for some reason."

"Then do you remember your grandfather?"

"Nonsense." Yan Yitong ate a few popcorns, "But he has been dead for many years. It seems that our family moved back to Star City after my grandfather passed away."

"Oh? Then your moving has something to do with your grandfather's death?"

"Probably not! Maybe you ask my brother about this, and he will be clearer."

Cheng Mo smiled and said, "Okay, then let's continue watching the movie! You've seen it, but I haven't."

Yan Yitong turned his head to look at Cheng Mo's profile, and asked with a smile, "Then why did you suddenly say you want to protect me?"

Cheng Mo thought for a while, then said softly: "Because you have a very dangerous ability. In the past, your brother has been secretly protecting you, and now I will too."

"Wow! A dangerous ability?" Yan Yitong exclaimed happily, "Couldn't it be like 'Thanos' snapping his fingers, and half the people on the earth will die?"

Cheng Mo thought that although it wasn't as scary as Thanos, he was able to directly absorb the energy of the carrier and issue commands directly across all operating systems, which was no worse than Thanos.But he didn't answer Yan Yitong's question, instead he asked, "Could it be that you want to snap your fingers like Thanos after you've collected all the Infinity Stones?"

Yan Yitong thought for a while and said: "Probably not! But if someone hurts my family or you, then I will snap my fingers."

"But the dead are random?"

"When you're angry, it doesn't matter if it's random or not!"

"What if someone we knew died? For example."

"Like?"

"Kevin Leilei or..." Cheng Mo said, "Fu Yuanzhuo and Feng Qianqian?"

Yan Yitong stuck out her tongue, "So. Fortunately, I don't have such ability!"

"You have a button." Cheng Mo finished with a blank expression, then he suddenly turned his head, staring at Yan Yitong's side face, and said softly: "So, did you forget that the first time you killed someone was when you were three years old?" ? It was your brother who bore the crime for you."

The light on the movie screen shone on Yan Yitong's pale face, reflecting the gorgeous colors like oil paintings, with a fascinating graininess, so beautiful that it didn't seem like reality.

Yan Yitong lowered her head, and her long ice-blue hair was hanging softly on her back. She whispered like a dream: "Later... Later, seeing Bryce throwing away her eggs, Julie was very sad, so Their relationship fell to a freezing point. Julie told her family all this, which led to a quarrel. It turned out that Julie's father had been saving money to take care of her silly brother, so the family's life was very difficult. Julie understood her parents very well, and she I also got the great help of Bryce’s grandfather, raising chickens and collecting eggs. For this, Bryce apologized to Julie, but Julie did not forgive Bryce. Maybe this is the love story of adolescence! Instead, Bryce apologized to Julie. Les began to pay attention to Julie, and gradually discovered that Julie has a lot of shining points, so he really fell in love with that girl who he didn't think was beautiful." She turned her head and looked at Cheng Mo, "Reality will never be like Movies are so beautiful, aren't they?"

"It's hard to say what I thought love was before? Isn't it just a man's sexual impulse towards another woman! Later, I found out that my knowledge is shallow. There is indeed such a thing as love in this world!" Cheng Mo smiled. For a moment, "I think there are always many corners of this world where unknown and beautiful stories are happening, not just in movies or novels. I now believe that there are some loves in this world that cannot be escaped like fate , Irreplaceable, the color bestows the soul, and you need to fight with your life"

"Compared to Xie Minyun, I am a much worse woman." Yan Yitong lowered his head, "A bad woman who loves to lie."

Cheng Mo said, "It's okay." He turned his head and glanced at Yan Yitong, "I will still protect you."

"But not long ago, I was still thinking about whether to strip your brain out and imprison you in the kingdom of hell." Yan Yitong said, "or just destroy this world."

"What made you change your mind?"

"When I was with you, I found out that my body can still return to normal." Yan Yitong raised her head, and the beam of light from the projector rolled over her head, countless fine dust flying in the clean light, Her face is like an isolated island in the sea, and her smile is the feeble foam that rises when the sea water hits the reef, "You know, don't you?"

Cheng Mo didn't speak, he just raised his hand high in the beam of light, so the shape of his hand appeared on the screen instantly, and he said lightly, "So... you were interested in me at first because you felt The energy fluctuations from Ouroboros on me?"

"Yes~ yes~ Cheng Mojun, you discovered it." Yan Yitong said with a smile, "Actually, I don't like small animals, comics, games, and cosplay. What about the actor. My brother’s life has been ruined by me, maybe now it’s your turn.”

Cheng Mo shook his head and said softly, "Unfortunately, my life...is no longer my own." He turned around slightly and rubbed Yan Yitong's hair, "Give me a little more time, maybe I can be strong enough to protect You, or create a new world."
