Chapter 1157: An Unexpected Clue
A ray of sunlight shone across the window and onto her eyelashes, and Molina let out a hoarse moan in her throat, dragging her groggy brain as she woke up from her sleep.
It was as if a bomb had been stuffed into her head, and her tears were about to flow out of her eyes.
Picking up the water glass on the bedside table and taking a sip, Molina, who felt the pain a little lessened, reached out and stroked the long hair that was scattered and draped, and then put her hand on her heavy forehead, sitting on the edge of the bed and carefully remembering what happened yesterday.
She couldn't remember the details.
I only remember that after throwing those notes that annoyed her to Lu Zhou, she stood up from the desk and ...... By the way, she had a drink before that.
Memories began to come together.
It's just that the memory after drinking the fragment is like a mess of paste, and it is blurry and unclear.
However, while she couldn't remember what happened after she got drunk, Molina wasn't very worried about someone taking advantage of someone else and doing something to her.
After all, she is an old friend for seven years, and she is still very clear about Lu Zhou's character, this kind of thing of being dominated by the lower body and the upper body may be true on others, but it is absolutely impossible to put it on him.
And that's why she is so relieved to drink with him-
Suddenly, Molina was stunned.
Looking at herself in the mirror, she subconsciously reached out and touched her neckline.
ββ¦β¦β
What about clothes???
β¦β¦
Interrupted by the hurried doorbell, Lu Zhou, who rubbed his eyebrows, closed the unfinished notes, stuffed them into the purse of his coat, got up and walked to open the door.
When he saw Mo Lina standing at the door, he was slightly stunned, and then said with a smile.
"Yo, wake up so soonβ"
"What did you do to me last night?!"
Looking at Mo Lina with a gloomy face, Lu Zhou was slightly stunned, looked at her strangely and said.
"I read the notes for the night...... The stuff above is quite interesting. By the way, were those sketches painted by Professor Abel himself? You still painted it. β
"Sketch painting? That's what I did when I got it...... Wait, you haven't answered my question yet! β
The two eyebrows were upside down again, and the confusion of that moment was replaced by a murderous momentum again, looking at Mo Lina who looked like a fried hair, Lu Zhou said speechlessly.
Didn't I answer? I read the notes all night...... What more answers do you expect to hear? β
Gritting her teeth, Molina said with a blushing face.
ββ¦β¦ I mean what about my clothes? β
Lu Zhou: "......?" β
Isn't that what it wears on you?
At this time, Lu Zhou suddenly noticed that the dress on her body didn't seem to be the same as the one she wore yesterday.
But he didn't think there was anything strange about it, and said casually.
"Let's wash it in the hotel."
ββ¦β¦ You, you helped me change it? β
Lu Zhou looked at her with a red face and red ears speechlessly.
"Why would I do such a troublesome thing?"
What if I get vomited?
There used to be such a person in his bedroom, not to mention the amount of alcohol that was extremely different, and every time he drank, he didn't count it, and he would break it every time. Lu Zhou, who often carried him back with two other people, can be said to be quite experienced.
Lu Zhou estimated that maybe she had vomited once last night, and most of the clothes were soiled and sent to be washed by the hotel staff.
Seeing that Lu Zhou didn't look like he was lying, Mo Lina's expression was slightly embarrassed, and at this moment she finally realized how strange the series of questions she asked was.
Looking at Mo Lina with an embarrassed face, Lu Zhou did not continue the previous conversation, but diverted the topic in a way that was not embarrassing and continued.
"The restaurant is on the second floor, and the buffet breakfast is served until ten o'clock, so I think I'll eat something by myself when I'm rested, I've already eaten, so I won't accompany you."
"Thank you...... What about my clothes? Who is it for? β
Mo Lina looked behind Lu Zhou, as if she wanted to see if the owner of the dress on her body was in the room, but she didn't see anything.
Lu Zhou: "I guess it was sent by the hotel." β
ββ¦β¦ Send, send? Does the hotel also deliver clothes? β
Looking at Mo Lina, who was a little confused, Lu Zhou sighed and said.
"Please, it's a five-star hotel, please don't look like you haven't seen the world so much."
"Laughing at what? It's not like I haven't lived...... Only, I just haven't lived in such an expensive one. β
Although she didn't know how much the hotel would cost, just looking at the decoration and the identity of the guests, she could guess that it would be a lot of money to stay here for one night.
Thinking of this, Molina suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
ββ¦β¦ How much did you pay for yesterday's drink? I said please your ......"
Lu Zhou: "No need, just treat me as if I invited you, if you feel sorry for not going, just be my guide for a day." β
Molina was slightly stunned: "...... Guide? β
Lu Zhou nodded: "Well, although it is a diplomatic visit, in fact, my itinerary is relatively free." I've never had a chance to visit Paris before, but now that I've caught up with this opportunity, I'm planning to make up for what I missed before. β
Besides, this is also part of the cultural exchange.
Molina: "...... What attractions are you going to visit? I'm a local, but I don't really know what to do in Paris. β
Lu Zhou smiled and said.
"Let's start with Professor Abel's house."
Molina: "??? β
β¦β¦
γβ¦β¦ I have seen such landscapes countless times in my dreams, dead cities, shocking obelisks, endless metal wilderness...... Even the air here is frozen, and the oppressive atmosphere is like a dark cloud that cannot be dispersed, like a tombstone. I don't know if it's some kind of God's will, maybe our souls will all return here. γ
The most complete part of the whole diary, and there is only this paragraph, which is attached to the page behind the sketch.
Looking at this passage, Lu Zhou read it carefully many times.
At the beginning of the 19th century, there was no such thing as a computer, and due to the limitations of the times, the black steel forest in his perspective was like a graveyard, which was completely different from some kind of computer array that Lu Zhou understood.
However, perhaps the two speculations do not actually conflict.
A tombstone can also be a computer.
And the other way around, it's the same.
Of course, Lu Zhou felt that the more likely thing was that perhaps he and Professor Abel were wrong in their hunches.
The only thing he could conclude now was that Professor Abel didn't have such a thing as a "system", but that for some other reason, he had seen a particular fragment of the Void's memories in his dreams.
After all, he never mentioned this strange thing in his diary, and mistook it for an "oracle" or something like that of the old man, and secondly, according to his description, he had seen the same picture repeatedly in his dreams, and was puzzled by the situation.
And if it's through the system, it's probably only one chance.
After leaving the city, the road began to get narrower, but the road condition was much better.
The car drove slowly to the town and stopped next to a somewhat old looking house.
Looking at Lu Zhou through the car's inner mirror, the French driver said in English with a strong accent.
"We're here."
Under Mo Lina's strange gaze, Lu Zhou closed the notebook in his hand and nodded to the driver with a smile.
"Okay, thanks."
After getting out of the car, Mo Lina took Lu Zhou into the courtyard, and Wang Peng was like a transparent person, silently following the two of them three steps away, observing the surrounding environment everywhere.
Looking at the strange man who was following behind his granddaughter, the old man leaning in front of the door frowned and asked hesitantly.
"You are ......"
Lu Zhou smiled and said politely.
"Contemptible Lu Zhou."
As soon as he heard the name Lu Zhou, the old man suddenly showed a sudden expression on his face.
"Oh, that Princeton professor, I've heard my granddaughter talk about you."
"It's not been anymore for a long time," Lu said with a friendly smile, "Excuse me, is it convenient for me to come in?" β
He glanced at his granddaughter strangely, but the old man didn't say anything, got out of the way, and made a gesture of please.
ββ¦β¦ Please come in, the conditions in the house are relatively basic, I hope you don't mind. β
"Thank you."
Lu Zhou nodded politely and walked towards the house.
