Darkness scares us. We yearn for the fort of light as it provides shape and form allowing us to define what's before us. But what is it we' reafraid of, really Not the darkness itself, but the truth we know nohides within.

Darkness is frightening.The light is so desirable, and the shape and form have nowhere to hide and can be recognized by people.Explain what's in front of you.But where does the real fear come from?It's not the darkness itself, but the secret hidden in it. The 60s movie theater in Manhattan, New York, seems to have the charm and style unique to this era. It is elegant and retro, and at the same time has a subtle beauty.

Vespa walked down the corridor and into the projection room with wall lights.

And the two men beside her, one on the left and one on the right, were following her unhurriedly, and Vespa suddenly felt that the air was a little blocked.

She's in a bit of a broken state right now.

When she knew that her fate had nothing to do with these men directly, she didn't bother to spend time pleasing them.

——That’s right, it’s that scumbag.

This cinema is one of the properties owned by the Xavier family. It was originally an opera house built in the last century.

The resplendent Roman columns are quite classical, but as time went on, they were converted into a cinema 30 years ago.

Vespa looked at the empty auditorium, turned to look at Charles, "I didn't know the business of this cinema was so bad."

Charles Xavier was well-dressed, with one hand in his trousers pocket, looking a little cynical. At this time, he looked a lot like those aristocratic elites in the upper class who could easily handle any trouble.

The corners of his mouth curled up, his blue eyes are deeper and more charming than the deep sea, "Actually, due to the poor box office and bad reviews of "Cleopatra", New York audiences are not very interested in it."

— but not so bad.

This screening room is privately owned by Charles, so of course no other moviegoers will appear.

However, Eric was quite satisfied with his arrangement. He put his arms around Vespa's waist and whispered in her ear, "If you don't sit in the seat obediently right away, why not leave with me now..."

Vespa gave him a perfunctory smile, pushed Eric away, went straight to the seat and sat down.

Eric and Charles looked at each other—why does it feel that this girl is so cold?

The eyes of the two looked over. She was wearing a simple red dress, and her long black hair was soft and charming, spreading from her shoulders and extending to her waist.

Vespa's deep face was fair and delicate, under the dim light of the movie theater, it seemed illusory but extremely charming as if it was flickering with soft light.

Eric suddenly wanted to hug her tightly, and he would tighten his arms until she couldn't resist leaving.

As for Charles, he felt that all this was so tormenting, how could she treat him so coldly.

The two sat down beside Vespa, still one on the left and one on the right.

Vespa frowned, for some reason, she felt that her situation was a little dangerous.

Hope this is all her illusion.

The lights were suddenly turned off, and everything was plunged into darkness.

The darkness was unsettling, and Vespa could hear the sound of breathing in the air, mixed with some indescribable anxiety.

When the screen finally turned on, Vespa felt his heart beating back to its normal rhythm.

God, she is crazy to want to go to the movies.

And when the "Cleopatra" movie began to show, she regretted her choice of this movie.

"Cleopatra" is a product of the trend of Hollywood epic films, with an investment of as high as 400 million US dollars, which is equivalent to 21 million US dollars in the [-]st century after accounting for inflation and other issues.

But the effect of the finished film is not good, at least so far, Vespa has seen two goofy shots.

The dark environment can always quickly breed ambiguity. Eric smelled the seductive fragrance of the girl, which was mysterious and seductive. The scent of rose scent made him a little absent-minded.

Soon, Vespa felt that there was an extra hand on her leg, and she pressed it hard to prevent him from moving further, forcing herself to cast her eyes on the large movie screen——

Cleopatra's two previous lovers were the ancient Roman statesman and military strategist Julius Caesar, who was much older than her. After Caesar's death, the younger new consul Mark Antony became her lover.

... She really didn't choose this plot on purpose.

With the development of the plot, Eric Lanshere's expression became deeper and more dangerous.

And Charles was smiling, his blue eyes fixed on Vespa, "Elizabeth Taylor, who played Cleopatra, seemed to be filming with Richard Bolton, who played Antony. During the process, the fake show was really done, and a lingering love story was written."

Vespa gave him a silent look—shut up, you.

There was a sneer on the corner of Eric's mouth, "Don't worry, Mark Anthony will soon be defeated, and then tragically committed suicide."

In the next second, Vespa suddenly felt that his waist was being caressed ambiguously.

Charles' blue eyes stared at her, his fingers almost digging into her blouse.

God, these two bloody men.

Vespa stood up abruptly, "Sorry, I have to go to the bathroom."

The two frowned at the same time, ready to accompany her, "You can't go alone, have you forgotten the terrible experience last time?"

Vespa originally just wanted to avoid the touch of these two people, so she could only sit down helplessly again, "I really want to end my life with a cobra now."

Leaning back in her seat, she happened to see in the movie screen, the plot progressed to Cleopatra, who called Octavius ​​"Octavian Gaius Julius Caesar O Gustas".

She felt that she couldn't look at it anymore. "Augustus" was obviously the title obtained by Octavian after he proclaimed himself emperor in 27 BC. At that time, Cleopatra was dead. for three years.

Vespa sighed, "Let's go, the great beauty Elizabeth Taylor can't support me to watch it again, [-]th Century Fox would make such a low-level mistake of passing through the gang."

Eric and Charles would naturally not reject her proposal. In fact, the filming of this epic movie was a bit disappointing.

Walking out of the cinema, Eric looked at Charles, "I'm going to have dinner with Vespa, I think you should leave now."

"It's more interesting if one more person joins, isn't it?" Charles smiled elegantly and politely.

Vespa stood between the two, his voice cold, "I think the ages of the two of you are 34 and 24, not four."

Before she finished speaking, she turned around and left.

Eric's expression returned to complete indifference, and his voice was dangerous, "Charles Xavier, do you really think I don't know what you did?"

Charles' expression froze, "I did the most despicable thing, but even so, I couldn't give up on her."

Magneto's resolute and deep face is both good and evil, and the aura around the two becomes weird and terrifying, as if a hurricane is about to roll up.

"Sadly, Vespa doesn't seem to take you seriously." Eric looked mockingly, turned away with a sneer.

Charles looked down, no one knew what he was thinking.

————————————————————————————————————————

In the restaurant in Manhattan, Vespa is holding a shot of tequila, completely ignoring Eric's request to stop drinking.

The atmosphere of the dinner was not pleasant, Eric took the wine glass in her hand, "You undisciplined brat."

Vespa rolled his eyes dissatisfied, "I don't know, I thought you were my strict father."

"Then I should tie you up and slap you a few times." Eric whispered in her ear, and at the same time, his eyes flicked past Charles mockingly.

Vespa pushed him away. "Sir, something is going a little too far in your head."

"Maybe it's because of you." Eric retorted, with an inherently strong desire for control in his expression.

Vespa muttered in dissatisfaction, "Shirking responsibility is obviously what I am best at."

At this time, Vespa suddenly felt a hand on the knee of his left leg, and his fingers were even moving towards Vespa's thigh.

—Charles Xavier sat on her left.

Vespa's whole body tensed up, God, he was crazy.

Vespa tried to keep his legs away from him calmly, but was held tightly by Charles.

Vespa looked at him and suppressed his breath, "Mr. Xavier, can you pass me the tequila on hand?"

Before Charles could speak, Vespa leaned forward and took the wine glass in his hand.

With this action, she finally avoided Charles' fingers.

Vespa swallowed a sip of the golden wine, feeling his heartbeat calmed down, and his tense nerves barely eased.

And beside her, Eric and Charles were staring at each other with unclear expressions, with a dangerous aura that was about to explode.

Vespa sighed in her heart. At this moment, she was exhausted physically and mentally. What should she do in the next world?
