Chapter 21 Banquet Mask
She walked in a beautiful posture, her dark clothes were like night.
The sky is clear and the stars are shining.
The most wonderful light and darkness.
They all gather in her beautiful posture and eyes.
Interweaving into such a gentle brilliance.
It is a bright daylight that cannot be seen.
The black razor flashed with a cold light, Mariana's sharp steps cut and tear apart human reason, and she wanted to kneel down and pick up her soles, become a minister under her skirt, and lick her toes.
The darkness began to invade, and the unknown enveloped Russell. The Marianna in his eyes was completely different from what others saw. It was like a deformed polymer made of a foul-stenched piece of meat. The secretions squeezed out of the pores flooded people's reason. It twisted and wriggled on the ladder, inserted its evil and ugly dirty tentacles into people's throats, controlling people's minds, and deceived by this illusion.
In the entire auditorium, only Russell was sober. His eyes and temperament contained the people he loved, books he read, and the road he had walked.
And that woman... should not have that aura.
The time in amber is frozen, the remaining fire in the ruined firewood.
I have been holding hope all my life, and I have been giving up halfway.
Mediocre and incompetent, weak and unbearable, neither good nor bad, the scale is always in the middle.
Not thorough enough, like a ship that survives in a storm.
This is the aura of ordinary people, desolate and decayed, blended into the background board of the street, and is not completely mediocre enough.
And that woman... is firm, determined, undeniable, unquestionable. These thoughts entangled her, and it was not the musculoskeleton that drove her, but the thoroughness.
No, it is no longer necessary to describe it completely. That aura is the hysteria that cannot be covered by the body and is about to burst out from the body. It is just a crazy beast that blindly implements its will and becomes angry.
It shouldn't be...
If she had been so beautiful from the beginning, she would never have such aura. A beautiful person would certainly be thorough enough. It comes from pity for others, self-courage, and a good road to growth.
And like her, contempt, disgusted with the world, and almost crushed all the rage, this makes no sense.
She was born from a famous family and a duke. She was born in this world with the blessings of a god. But her aura seemed to have walked through a thorny Shura road, with a powerful aura like an evil ghost.
It's not true at all.
Most people think that emotions are very complex things, sensual things that cannot be understood thoroughly, but for Russell, emotions can be accurately calculated like mathematical formulas to obtain answers and results.
As a result, Mariana's appearance is completely incompatible with her aura. Even in the eyes of others, this result can only add more charm, but in Russell's eyes, Mariana makes Russell feel confused.
The extremely incongruous confusion and the unreasonable beauty of this lesion made Russell feel a little nauseated. What factors caused this mutation? Similar to a virus with extremely fast proliferation speed, it infects Mariana and spreads and ferments in it. What kind of virus can form such dislocation and chaos?
Russell could not think of the answer for a moment. It must be something he had never seen before, and it did not exist in his own cognition, an evil virus.
But this sense of dislocation and doubt did not defeat Russell's code of conduct, but instead improved his own philosophy.
Most people understand the situation in front of them as a supernatural phenomenon.
Russell does not think there are supernatural phenomena in this world. There are many people in this world who study mysticism in extremely nonsensical ways, which makes Russell very annoyed.
Because the speed of light is faster than the speed of sound, they all seemed very smart before Russell heard others speak. In the end, all the steps will tend to be one result. This world is full of stupid people.
There is no so-called supernatural phenomenon. Those garbage things that are so preached in mysticism are also one of the natural phenomena. Reasonable and correct phenomena are just natural phenomena that cannot predict the formation process of its results by current means.
Russell likes reason and right, just like he likes cigarettes and wine, but the way is different. Reasoning and right can keep Russell away from those stupid people, while cigarettes and wine can make Russell face those stupid people.
As for Mariana, it was an interesting discovery, a brand new natural phenomenon.
"The lady, whose name is Mariana, asked her to come in and talk to me, not in my personal capacity, but in the capacity of the Principality of Bema, to invite her in."
The tone of the superior, this is Russell's wisdom. He never asks, but expresses his wish. His trembling hands have eased down, lit a cigarette, and sucked without emotion.
"certainly……"
The female receptionist was a little confused by Russell's harshness. In terms of her tone, if she did not bring Mariana to him, she would be responsible.
After the female receptionist left.
Slap...
Defney clapped his palm and complained: "It turns out that there is no obstacle in that aspect. This is right. If I were a man, I would also want to put my cousin under me. No, even now I am not without this idea... Is the Duke's daughter right? It seems difficult, but if it is the Count, it will be completely done. Maybe under your talent and charm, the Alfred family will turn to the light and stand on our side, haha... It would be great if this is the case."
This time, Russell didn't even say the word "foolish" and directly ignored Defney.
Defne's eyelids twitched, and she couldn't please Russell no matter what she did, right?
"Claire, it's been more than a month. You'd like to say a few words to me, because of our ten years of friendship."
Defney said pitifully to the heavy armored guard standing behind him. Claire was extremely introverted and extremely afraid of communicating with others. Only when he was alone with Defney would he say a few words.
The helmet of the heavy armored guard tilted upwards, making a sound of steel friction, as if he was a little moved.
"Silence is the first choice for virtues. It allows you to see the shortcomings of others, and at the same time cover up your own shortcomings. Just keep it."
Russell spit out a long mouthful of smoke and said indifferently.
After hearing this, the heavy armored guard lowered his head and returned to silence. Defney's face turned into bitter melon. Look, who are these people? It's too unreasonable to bully herself, a girl.
Sennheiser's female assistant invited Mariana to solve Mariana's urgent need. If she could, she would not want to stay in the auditorium for a second.
Even if she was tired and impatient, malicious and annoying, even if she looked like this, Mariana was so beautiful that she was shocked in the eyes of others.
She followed the female reception into the VIP room where Russell was, making the people in the hall feel heartache like a knife and the endless regrets that emerged. She just looked at the back and chewed in her mind again in her mind, becoming a wonderful memory that lingers all her life.
Mariana didn't look back, even at that glance.
Too ugly, too unbearable, too ugly.
I have never noticed or seen the surging human desires before, thinking that it was a normal and peaceful atmosphere, and I just couldn't integrate into it.
And now, these ridiculous lives...
What Mariana disliked and disgusted was far from the ugliness of the world, but the beautiful mask it wore.
