The Modern Age of the Mysterious

Since it came to land? Sean thought the other party made a slip of the tongue and asked, "You mean, since you arrived in New Zealand?"

The other party shrugged: "It's almost the same meaning. After I landed in Newlander, I haven't been anywhere else."

Sean looked strangely at the man in the white suit in front of him.

If you want to say that the behavior is suspicious, then the person in front of you is too suspicious!

Just a few words of dialogue, you have to invite yourself to dinner, you have to make friends with yourself, and you don't know what to say...

However, this kind of suspiciousness made Sean feel a little more relieved: something that looks wrong at first glance is probably not a trap.

Only the kind of disguise that looks ordinary, such as the unremarkable driver George, is more likely to contain misfortune.

Moreover, Sean found something special about this man's eyes.

His eyes were pure and clean, like a child's - a man in his twenties, but he looked like he had never been in the world. This is not a look that can be performed, which makes Sean a little surprised.

"I don't understand what you mean, what do you mean by 'on land'?" Now Sean can't do the same spiritual scan as the "Guardian of the Kingdom of God", he can only use the spiritual substance to perform a "body search" like inspection . The other party did not carry a murder weapon, and his heartbeat and breathing were relatively stable.

The man motioned Sean to go with him, Sean sighed slightly, and followed him—the other party didn't know much about the rules of social interaction, but he was so straightforward and sincere that it was impossible to create an atmosphere of rejection, and his intuition told Sean that there was no danger.

He said with a smile, "I have been playing the piano on the Platinum Star cruise ship before. For some reason, the Platinum Star was going to be blown up, so I had to get off the ship. Now I live in New York City."

Sean thought the other party was joking, but the other party's eyes were so sincere that he had to confirm, "Have been living on a cruise ship? Since birth?"

He nodded: "Yes, since birth. You know what? The lemon cake on the boat is better than the one in New York City. I have searched all the cake shops in New York City, and I can't find anything like the lemon on the boat. cake."

As if recalling the lemon cake and life on the boat, he half-raised his head, his eyes wandered, and then he grinned: "You are a good guy. If I tell people on the road that I want to make friends, they will ignore it. I!

"I'm not very good at dealing with people. I didn't want to get off the boat for this reason - there are too many people on land."

He suddenly stretched out his hand: "By the way, my name is Moonlight 1902, what's your name?"

Sean looked at the moonlight with dull eyes: This person seems to be a little different?

—

"...Then, I followed Winnie off the boat!"

While walking, Moonlight told Sean his life story.

Sean thought Moonlight was a bit special before, but after listening to his story, he found that he was not "a little" special, but "very" special!

He was a child adopted by a boatman on a cruise ship. The year was 1902, so his boatman father gave him this peculiar name.

Moonlight showed an amazing talent for the piano when she was a child, and started working as a pianist in the cruise ship's banquet hall at the age of twelve. Since then, he has been playing the piano on the cruise. Because of his legendary experience, he is called "the pianist on the ocean".

It was not until three months ago that he fell in love with his current wife, and the Platinum Star was about to be blown up for some reason, that he set foot on land for the first time and began to live on the ground.

"I used to resist going on land, but now I realize that the city is actually a ship." When Moonlight smiled, he would show his upper teeth and look carefree, "A much larger one Boat.

"It's just that this ship has no end and will never dock."

After this period of walking and chatting, Sean felt familiar with Moonlight, and joked, "I didn't expect you to be a poet."

"Pianists are poets." Moonlight led Sean into a restaurant called "Palm Tree".

Sean found that the restaurant was almost full.

The violinist was wearing a tuxedo, and his expression seemed to be dozing off when he played the violin. The ceiling above the crystal chandeliers, the elaborate paintings, and even the wall paneling is of decent wood—this restaurant is quite upscale.

The layout of the restaurant is also very special, with a small stage with a piano as the center, and tables and chairs arranged radially.

When entering the door, Sean smelled the aroma of the cooking, and saliva secreted from his mouth unconsciously.

Moonlight made the restaurant waiter in an embroidered vest lead Sean to a table not far from the stage.

"Whatever you want to eat, I'll take this one." Moonlight blinked, someone came to say hello, he turned his back to the man, rolled his eyes at Sean, "This man is really annoying", and then turned around and smiled heartily Chatted with that person.

Sean looked at the menu and ordered fennel with lamb chops, croissants, clam chowder, lemon cake and soda.

The speed of serving the food was surprisingly fast. Sean picked up the knife and fork and cut open the tender roasted lamb chops. The first lamb chops entered the entrance. He slowly chewed the lamb chops that had been shaved with tendons. I was moved and decided to bring Arya to try it later.

After taking a sip of soda, there was a burst of restrained cheers and enthusiastic applause in the restaurant. Everyone looked in one direction, and Sean also shifted his attention from the food in front of him and looked up—

Moonlight put on a steady black suit with a fresh and beautiful rose on his chest. He nodded in greeting and walked onto the small stage in the middle.

He stood in front of the piano and began to tell a story: "Three years ago, when I was still playing the piano on a cruise ship, I rescued a white mouse that fell into the water.

"That mouse is very smart, and it has been with me since then. After getting along for a long time, I named her Miss White."

There was laughter from the audience.

"I have some leftovers for Miss White at every meal, bread, sausage, or cabbage."

"Miss White also knows how to be grateful, and from time to time she will bring coins or iron clips to my cabin and give them to me.

"We had a great time.

"Then one day, she came with a pearl earring.

"That pearl is not small—Miss White can settle her meal bill this time!"

The audience laughed again. Sean couldn't help but have a smile on his face.

"I soon met a beautiful lady who was anxiously looking for a lost pearl earring on the deck.

"As a pianist, we can't do immoral things with our hands, so I returned the earrings to her, and I was fortunate enough to meet that beautiful lady.

"Later, that beautiful lady became my wife." A happy smile appeared on Moonlight's face, and the ladies in the audience all sighed beautifully.

"Ladies and gentlemen, to introduce you to my friend, the one who brought me good luck - Miss White!"

After speaking, Moonlight carefully took out a white mouse from his suit pocket and placed it on the platform of the piano.

A few ladies laughed and exclaimed, but more people laughed and applauded "Miss White".

Sean was a little surprised - he thought Moonlight was just telling a joke, but he didn't expect that he really prepared a white mouse.

However, looking at the way the moonlight patted the white mouse and gave half a biscuit, Sean somewhat believed the story he told...

Moonlight sat on the piano bench, moved his fingers, and began to play with enthusiasm.

"Miss White" seemed to have gotten used to it. She chewed the biscuits with peace of mind, unaffected by the sound and vibration of the piano.

Moonlight played a relatively simple tune first as a warm-up.

Sean listened while eating lamb chops. He has to admit that Moonlight is an excellent pianist, every note he hits is perfectly expressed, and his musicality and finger flexibility are rare.

The second tune is lighter. Although this place is a restaurant, everyone is not talking, but listening to the moonlight playing quietly - the good business of palm trees is not only because of the delicious food, it seems that many people are playing the piano for the moonlight. ~www.NovelMTL.com~ After eating lamb chops and croissants, Moonlight just finished playing the second tune.

Moonlight stood up again: "If only love stayed at the moment when I returned the pearl earring to my wife. Because after getting married, a lot of things have changed. When I used to play the piano, she seemed to have something in her eyes. Like stars, twinkling.

"Now when I play the piano, she sweeps the floor with a broom and asks me to lift my leg with a look of disgust on her face."

The laughter from the audience was even louder than before.

"However, I still wanted to make my wife happy, so I went to the library to borrow a cookbook for study. The cookbook was called "Mrs. Jenny's 101 Dishes", and I copied the tomato cream red shrimp soup. I'm going to give my wife a surprise one day..." He took out a wrinkled note full of words, which attracted another burst of laughter.

Sean, who had always been nervous, relaxed a little under such an environment, and the originally tense muscles on his face loosened. He was somewhat grateful to Moonlight for bringing him this relaxing experience.

Before playing the third tune, Moonlight took Miss White, who had finished eating the biscuits, into her pocket.

The third tune played, and the difficulty increased significantly. When Moonlight was playing, his eyes were closed, and he was extremely devoted. His hands were playing faster and faster, so fast that only a slender afterimage could be seen hitting the keys.

The movement entered its most intense climax, and Sean's silver spoon eating lemon cake stagnated - he heard the four-handed music played by the strings!

Sean raised his head and stared in surprise, and suddenly thought of something. He focused his attention on the symbols, and his eyes switched to the state of spiritual vision.

He saw that the psychic fingers extended from Moonlight's body to assist him in playing the piano...
