A ray of sunlight shone through the window and shone on her eyelashes. Molina let out a hoarse moan and woke up from her sleep.
It was like a bomb was stuffed into her head, and it hurt so much that tears almost came out.
Molina took a sip of water from the bedside table. She felt the pain lessen a little. She reached out and combed her messy hair. She then supported her forehead with her hand and sat on the edge of the bed, carefully recalling what happened yesterday.
She couldn't remember the specific details.
She only remembered that after she threw those annoying notes to Lu Zhou, she stood up from the table, and then … Oh yeah, she drank some wine before that.
Her memory began to connect.
However, the memory after she drank was like a lump of paste, blurry and unclear.
However, although she couldn't remember what happened after she was drunk, Molina wasn't worried that someone would take advantage of her.
After all, they had been friends for seven years. She knew Lu Zhou's character very well. It might be possible for someone else to let their lower body dominate their upper body, but it was impossible for Lu Zhou to do that.
This was the reason why she was so confident in asking him to drink with her.
Suddenly, Molina froze.
She looked at herself in the mirror and subconsciously reached out to touch her neckline.
"…"
Where are my clothes???
…
The doorbell interrupted Lu Zhou's thoughts. He rubbed his eyebrows and closed his unfinished notes. He stuffed them into his pocket and got up to open the door.
When he saw Molina standing at the door, he paused for a second and smiled.
"Oh, you're awake already —"
"What did you do to me last night?!"
Lu Zhou looked at Molina and paused for a second. He looked at her strangely.
"I read the notes all night … The things in there are quite interesting. Oh yeah, were those sketches drawn by Professor Abel himself? Or did you draw them? "
"Sketches? It was like that when I got it … Wait, you haven't answered my question! "
His eyebrows were raised again, and the confusion at that moment was replaced by a murderous aura. Lu Zhou looked at Molina, who looked like she was about to explode, and spoke with a speechless expression.
"Didn't I already answer? You've been reading notes all night … What kind of answer do you expect to hear? "
Molina clenched her teeth and said with a red face.
"… I mean, where are my clothes?"
Lu Zhou: "…?"
Aren't you wearing it properly?
At this time, Lu Zhou suddenly noticed that the clothes she was wearing seemed to be different from the one she wore yesterday.
However, he didn't find it strange, so he said casually.
"Take it to the hotel and wash it."
"… You, you helped me change it?"
Lu Zhou looked at her blushing face speechlessly.
"Why would I do such a troublesome thing?"
What if I vomit all over my body?
He used to have such a person in his dorm. Not only was her alcohol tolerance terrible, but every time she drank, she didn't know what to do. Lu Zhou often carried him back with two other people, so he had a lot of experience in this kind of thing.
Lu Zhou guessed that she probably vomited last night, and the clothes were probably sent to the hotel to be washed after they were dirty.
Seeing that Lu Zhou didn't look like he was lying, Molina's expression was slightly embarrassed. At this moment, she finally realized how strange the series of questions she asked was.
Looking at the embarrassed Molina, Lu Zhou didn't continue the previous conversation. Instead, he changed the topic in a way that didn't make her feel awkward.
"The restaurant is on the second floor, and the buffet breakfast is served before ten o 'clock. If you feel rested, go eat something. I've already eaten, so I won't accompany you."
"Thank you … What about my clothes? Who did it belong to? "
Molina looked behind Lu Zhou, trying to see if the owner of the clothes was in the room, but she didn't see anything.
Lu Zhou: "It's probably a gift from the hotel."
"… Gift, gift? The hotel gives you clothes? "
Lu Zhou looked at the confused Molina and sighed.
"Come on, this is a five-star hotel. Please don't be so ignorant."
"What are you laughing at? It's not like I haven't stayed here before … It's just that I haven't stayed in such an expensive one. "
Although she didn't know how much this hotel cost, just by looking at the decor and the identity of the guests, she could guess that staying here for a night was probably expensive.
Thinking of this, Molina suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
"… How much did yesterday's drinks cost? I said I'm treating you … "
Lu Zhou: "It's fine, just treat me. If you feel bad, you can be my tour guide for a day."
Molina paused for a second and said, "… Tour guide?"
Lu Zhou nodded and said, "Yeah, although it's a diplomatic visit, my schedule is quite flexible. I haven't had a chance to visit Paris before. Now that I have this opportunity, I plan on making up for the attractions I missed. "
Also, this is part of a cultural exchange.
Molina: "… What attractions do you plan on visiting? Although I'm a local, I don't really know what's fun in Paris. "
Lu Zhou smiled and spoke.
"Let's start with Professor Abel's former residence."
Molina: "???"
…
[… I've seen this scene countless times in my dreams. A dead city, a shocking obelisk, an endless metal wilderness … Even the air here is frozen, and the oppressive atmosphere is like a dark cloud that cannot be dispersed. It's like a tombstone. I don't know if this is God's will, maybe our souls will return here.]
This was the most complete part of the diary, and it was attached to the page behind the sketch.
Lu Zhou looked at this paragraph and carefully read it many times.
In the early 19th century, there was no such thing as a computer. Due to the limitations of the era, the black steel forest was like a graveyard. It was completely different from the computer array that Lu Zhou understood.
However, maybe the two guesses didn't conflict.
A tombstone could also be a computer.
Conversely, it was the same.
Of course, Lu Zhou felt like it was more likely that both his and Professor Abel's premonitions were wrong.
The only thing he could conclude was that Professor Abel didn't have a "system". Instead, for some other reason, he saw a specific fragment of the Void Memory in his dream.
After all, he never mentioned this strange thing in his diary. He misunderstood this thing as God's "oracle" or something similar. Also, according to his description, he repeatedly saw the same scene in his dream, and he couldn't understand this situation.
And if it was through the system, he only had one chance.
After leaving the city, the road began to narrow, but the road conditions were a lot better.
The car slowly drove into the small town and stopped next to an old looking house.
The French driver looked at Lu Zhou through the car mirror and spoke in heavily accented English.
"We're here."
Under Molina's strange gaze, Lu Zhou closed the notebook in his hand and smiled at the driver.
"Okay, thanks."
After they got out of the car, Molina and Lu Zhou walked into the yard. Wang Peng was like an invisible person. He silently followed the two of them and observed the surrounding environment.
Looking at the unfamiliar man behind his granddaughter, the old man leaning against the door frowned and asked hesitantly.
"You are …"
Lu Zhou smiled and spoke politely.
"I'm Lu Zhou."
When the old man heard the name Lu Zhou, he suddenly had a look of realization on his face.
"Oh, the Princeton professor, I heard my granddaughter talk about you."
"Not anymore." Lu Zhou said with a friendly smile, "Excuse me, can I come in?"
The old man looked at his granddaughter strangely, but he didn't say anything. He made way for Lu Zhou to enter.
"Please come in, the conditions in the house are a bit shabby, I hope you don't mind."
"Thank you."
Lu Zhou nodded politely and walked into the house.
