Chapter 203 It was a stormy Christmas Eve
Jianhe County, cinema.
In his busy schedule, Wayne remembered that he was still a small leader, so he drove to the stronghold in Jianhe County to check in, and brought a box of ancient books to the artistic girl. He also made an appointment with the artistic girl to watch a movie during afternoon tea time.
It's said to be a movie, but it's actually a date.
Otilia, an artistic girl, declined the date and said she was only moderately interested in monster-themed movies, but for the sake of collecting ancient books, she was willing to watch movies starring her friends.
Watching a movie together ≠ going on a date.
Good news: Ticket inspectors don't have to be so angry that they drop their tongs.
Bad news: Wayne has a midnight show tonight, and the high priest hasn’t enjoyed the masterpiece yet!
In the private screening room, Otilia was sipping a drink, and next to her was Wayne, who was holding popcorn. The two were talking and laughing, and the topic always revolved around that disappearing history.
Otilia has a quiet temperament, is elegant and unassuming, and has a calm mind that is almost incompatible with her age. It seems that every gesture has been reviewed in her mind and only expressed after confirming it is correct.
Wayne guessed that her upbringing must be very strict.
Regarding Otilia's family background, Wayne once asked about it, but the latter didn't go into detail. He didn't ask more questions and didn't go further.
After getting along several times, Wayne thought he knew something about Otilia. Her quietness was just superficial. Otilia was no different from female college students of the same age. She was curious, rebellious, eager to challenge new things, and full of adventurous spirit. .
Because of her strict tutoring, she buried all these in her heart and confided them all in books.
Even though she is a disciple of the goddess of nature, her faith is not firm, her personality is independent, and she has the spirit of a free mage.
Coincidentally, Wayne is also this kind of person. He has a common topic with Otilia and is also very interested in that disappearing history. After going back and forth, Otilia becomes a friend.
She didn't have many friends, so she couldn't refuse invitations, so she put down the old books she couldn't put down and came to the cinema to watch movies with Wayne.
But soon, the artistic girl was attracted by this artistic film. While praising director Wallace as a genius, she also praised Wayne's acting skills.
Seeing Wayne sacrificing his life for love, even though she was so calm, her eyes turned red.
"Don't be sad, it's just an art form."
Wayne took the opportunity to grab the artistic girl's hand: "If you feel envious, just take off your shackles and do it boldly. As a friend, I will fully support you."
"It's different. My situation is a bit complicated and I can't pay for love like you do..."
Halfway through her words, Otilia realized something was wrong, looked at her grabbed hand, and then looked at Wayne angrily.
I consider you a friend, but you actually want to date me?
“What’s wrong, keep going!”
Wayne looked puzzled and asked Otilia to continue.
Otilia pulled out her hand and gave Wayne a fierce look: "You are so good at lying to girls, you must have many girlfriends, right?"
"Single, thank you."
Wayne opened his mouth, but failed to hear the lines he wanted, so he continued the topic by himself: "It's like the kiss scene on the ship. It was actually shot out of position, and my first kiss hadn't even been given yet!"
Otilia covered her mouth and snickered. She reads a lot, especially history books, so this statement cannot deceive her.
"It makes me lose face when you laugh like that."
"Then what should I do?"
"You should be curious about when I gave my first kiss and which girl was so lucky. Then I answered, that girl is in the screening room." Wayne joked seriously.
After saying that, he laughed first.
Otilia did not smile, but looked steadily at Wayne, frowning as if she was thinking seriously.
"No, do you really want it?"
Wayne was surprised and pointed at his pouted lips: "We are just friends. You tell me how we will kiss you. I promise not to resist."
Only then did Otilia laugh and said bluntly: "You are a good person. It is very happy to be a friend. If you are a boyfriend, I will definitely live a very tired life."
"How will you know if you don't try?" Wayne encouraged. Science is rigorous and requires practice and verification, and hypotheses cannot be regarded as answers.
Otilia was not fooled and looked blankly at the end credits: "I envy you very much. You can do whatever you want, whether it's making a movie, skipping work, or wherever you want to go."
"You can do it too!"
"..."
Otilia shook her head and said, "The movie is very good. I want to watch it again."
Wayne looked at his watch: "Okay, there's plenty of time. I'll buy movie tickets."
"Are you in a hurry?"
"Well, I have an appointment with my girlfriend tonight, and I want to go back to Lundan to watch a movie with her."
"..."
Otilia rolled her eyes. The unexpected answer made her even more envious of Wayne. He could say whatever he wanted without any scruples.
…
The second show came to an end. In the screening hall, the female college students in the university town burst into tears. Their boyfriends comforted them with warm words. They took the opportunity to be courteous and swore that they would sacrifice their lives for love, and offered a kiss as a reward. .
Wayne wore a scarf covering half of his face, and the God of Pure Love silently gave himself a thumbs up. Fortunately, he was prepared to protect his face in advance, otherwise female fans would rush up to him and ask for kisses, and it would be a mistake if he disagreed or disagreed.
If you agree, the boyfriends will be single on the spot; if you disagree, the lead actor will act like a celebrity and disrespect the fans.
It’s so hard to be an idol!
Otilia looked at the young man and woman hugging each other with a complicated expression, maybe she was envious.
She swayed and found herself being held in Wayne's arms. She raised her head again, opened her mouth and slowly leaned over.
Otilia was stunned, raised her hand in front of her face, pushed away Wayne's innocent face, and rolled her eyes beautifully: "Don't be ridiculous, we agreed to be friends."
"This is not nonsense. I am giving you the courage to rush forward boldly and say 'no' to your past self. You can defeat yourself." Wayne said shamelessly.
"It's not that easy..."
Otilia shook her head and asked curiously: "Wayne, if a person defeats himself, does he win or lose?"
"A good philosophical question, in my opinion it should win."
"How to say?"
"I am me now, I was not me in the past. The me now defeats the me in the past, I win."
"Ah...that seems to make sense."
"That makes sense."
Wayne pointed at himself: "How about it, do you need some courage to defeat yourself?"
"Forget it, you are in trouble at first glance, and I am in trouble too."
"It doesn't matter, my first kiss will always be reserved for you. Just tell me whenever you want."
"Yeah, okay."
"..."
Now it was Wayne's turn to be confused. Looking at the expression of the artistic girl, the latter thought carefully before giving the answer.
She is serious!
"Ottilia, do you have a fever that has burned your head? If not, let's go to the hospital. I'll treat you."
"No, I'm serious. If I still do it after half a year..."
Otilia paused, and then said: "I'll give you a chance to lie to me, but I was not who I am now. The price for lying to me is very serious, and people will die!"
Wayne blinked and said, "Who are you trying to scare? The cost of being cheated by him is also very serious, including lives."
"Ottilia, what's going on in your family?" Wayne was extremely curious and wanted to dig deeper.
"I don't want to say it, but I want to watch you get trampled to death by a gorilla again."
"..."
Wayne looked at his watch and saw that it wasn't impossible.
"Why, are you in a hurry to go back to accompany your girlfriend?" Otilia teased.
"Single, thank you."

London Cinema, midnight show.
Wayne walked into the screening room at the last minute before the movie started.
The ticket inspector's face turned green. He thought he wouldn't see this evil face again today, but unexpectedly, he still underestimated Wayne's strength.
Yesterday there were five beauties, big and small, and tonight there were three more beauties in 1+2, including a pair of twins. How come you were not exhausted to death with eight beauties watching movies in two days?
Also, why didn't you come during the day? Did you go to another cinema to reserve the theater? The ticket inspector became angrier when he thought about being single. In addition, he recognized Wayne's face and knew that he was the actor who was trampled to death by the gorilla.
The loyal and good man on the screen is actually a scumbag in reality. It's too ironic, no, too real.
The ticket collector cursed and left, resigning now, he also wants to be an actor.
"Hey, isn't this Mr. Wayne? I thought you were busy with official duties and wouldn't be here!" Philomena led the twins to sit in the center of the screening room, putting their hands on their shoulders and looking strangely at each other.
If you are unhappy, you need to be coaxed!
"How is it possible? No matter how busy you are, you can't forget my baby."
Wayne squeezed away one of the twins, maybe Verna or Dede, and hugged Philomena for a deep kiss.
"Don't be like this, they are still... ugh, they are so annoying."
"Hehehe, as long as you like it."
"..." x2
()x2
The twins were speechless as they looked at this pair of doggy...men. They couldn't figure out why the high priest, who was mature, steady, charming and intelligent, was coaxed into running around by a pretty boy?
The end of the film ended with Philomena lying in Wayne's arms and bursting into tears. The twins looked at the sky at a 45-degree angle, unwilling to be deceived by the pretty boy into losing their little pearl.
"Damn director, he actually filmed you to death and let that woman kiss you."
Philomena cried and said: "It's a good death. If you hadn't died, that bitch who has two legs would have married you."
Wayne's tooth ached when he heard that. He thought that Willy's focus was outrageous, but he didn't expect that the strongest among the strongest.
"Speak!"
"The first kiss is still there."
"ah?"
"No, the first kiss was taken away by you. It was shot out of place in the movie."
…
At five o'clock in the morning, Wayne wandered into the sewer. Because the film was too touching, Philomena insisted on communicating with him verbally.
We talked for a long time, not to mention rivers of blood, but definitely corpses everywhere.
Staying up late was hurting his body, so Wayne decided to stay up all night. He had already passed ancient silver coins on the way back and forth, and his fatigue level had bottomed out today, so he switched to obelisk training.
Speaking of which, there is knowledge of storms and thunder in the obelisk. He was once a powerful god. He was defeated and died in the war of faith. He was removed from history and was not known to the world.
Wayne gets the obelisk and the Book of Greed. He only needs to unseal the obelisk from the sealed book to get Storm and Thunder for free.
But he didn't do that. The plan for the silver stage was five goddesses + heaven and hell. Storm and thunder were left in the gold stage and were not considered at the moment.
Without him, there are too many thighs, and two more, and the fellow elemental fellows really can't bear it.
————
The pace of time came to January 1939, Lundan was calm and everything was quiet.
Wayne's daily life consists of practicing and dating, two points and one line, boring and boring, except for happiness, it is empty.
There was another Christmas during this period. Most of Wayne's acquaintances were pagans, and he himself couldn't celebrate this holiday, so he accompanied Mona to the cinema to watch King Kong again.
Plank was so calm that he seemed to be competing with Wayne for his patience. He also seemed to have forgotten about the ancient silver coins and never contacted Wayne.
Philomena's evolution is proceeding in an orderly manner. She has not yet been promoted to legend, but she is nourished by love and looks much younger.
According to Philomena, because of the help of her little boyfriend, there is almost no risk in her promotion. She can just wait and see.
Wayne knew in his heart that Philomena was no longer the pure elf. She had undergone earth-shaking changes internally. She was now a faceless tentacle monster wearing elf skin.
With his help, Philomena's evolutionary path changed, and she took on his shape bit by bit.
From the perspective of belief, Philomena committed a serious crime of blasphemy. From her mind to her body, she deviated from the original intention of the evolution of the elves.
Wayne didn't want this either. Every time he saw the dirty golden triangle, he couldn't help but wipe away the dust. Every time he came and went, the beautiful elf became abnormal.
Philomena didn't understand the changes in herself, and she felt great. Wayne didn't say anything, but he didn't mind it and would take responsibility.
…
Commerce Street, Wayne Detective Agency.
The office door was locked, and Wayne was busy writing in his diary. From time to time he would stop writing with a grin on his face, his mind wandering a little.
Veronica's appetite is too big, and Wayne's future diary has been written to 1940. It is updated every day and the output is amazing. It can no longer be called a diary, but a novel.
In order to satisfy Veronica's appetite, Wayne had to plagiarize history books. The effect was good. Reading history makes people wise. He hopes that through this method, Veronica can learn more about the dark side of society.
You don’t have to use it, but you can’t understand it.
Bang bang bang!
"Boss, the scheduled guest wants to see you." Office assistant Kelly knocked on the door.
"Arrange the guests to go to the conference room. I'll be here soon." Wayne said without raising his head.
"OK."
Five minutes later, Wayne closed the diary and breathed a sigh of relief.
Mona stood up, took out a handkerchief and wiped her mouth: "Boss, do you want me to receive that guest?"
"The customer paid the highest price and still made an appointment. You were too perfunctory to go, and..."
"You'd better not say anything. It's too strong and will affect the reputation of the detective agency."
Wayne waved his hand, with a helpless look on his face. He vaguely remembered that it was a stormy Christmas Eve. He accompanied Mona to the cinema to watch a movie, and was coaxed to go home by saying that an angel would eat apples tonight. , father, love, faith, etc.
As a result, Wayne didn't get to eat the apple, and lost his first kiss and sweetness. He lost hundreds of millions in one night. It still hurts to think about it now.
Shouldn’t I regret it at the beginning?
Blame him for being too naive and trusting Mona so much that he really thought nothing would happen.
Mona watched Wayne leave with a serious face, made sure there was no one around, picked up the black coat on the hanger and took a few deep breaths.
Epic lung-busting!
Looking at her pilgrim-like expression, someone who didn’t know it might have thought she was worshiping her faith!
Uh, it’s true.
The cross given to Mona by the Pope is very problematic. It unearths Mona's deepest desires and makes her absolutely loyal to her master. At the same time, it also stimulates her desire for her master.
Every time she sees Wayne, Mona will think of a voice in her heart. The reincarnated angel comes down to earth to eradicate the devil. Once the task is completed, the angel will return to heaven.
If the angel cannot leave some obsession in the world, Mona will never see Wayne again until she dies.
You don't want this either, right?
Mona definitely didn't want to. This voice came from the desire deep in her heart, which would be amplified when she saw Wayne. She thought for a long time about the obsession of angels in the world.
Figured it out!
…
conference room.
Wayne met the distinguished guest, a lady with short black hair, luxurious clothes, cold makeup, and wearing stockings in the winter. She was either a beauty lover or had an ulterior motive.
"Wayne."
Wayne stretched out his hand and politely held the other person's fingertips: "I am the boss of Wayne Detective Agency, and I am also the best detective in the agency. I wonder what my customers call me?"
"Sora."
The two sat down opposite each other, and Wayne looked at the black suitcase on the table: "Ms. Sola, it's a great honor to meet you. I promise it will be worth every penny and I will successfully complete your commission."
Sola smiled slightly and talked about his commission, a very ordinary missing person investigation case.
About a year ago, she lent money to a colleague, who got the money and disappeared. At first, she didn't take it seriously. Because of work, she and her colleagues were abroad all year round, and it was normal not to see each other for three to five months.
But there was no news for a whole year. It was obvious that he was avoiding her as a creditor and planned not to pay back the money he owed.
"This is unreasonable. Windsor is a society governed by the rule of law, and villains like this are destined to have a bad end!" Wayne shared the same hatred, and from the customer's perspective, severely criticized the old man who failed to repay his debts.
Then, he asked for some details, including the debtor's name, age, workplace, last seen place, etc.
As he asked, Wayne discovered something was wrong.
When he saw the photo of the debtor, the corner of his mouth twitched uncontrollably.
【photo】
A very familiar face that I can see every day when I look in the mirror.
"So, your Excellency?"
"The air is shaking, as if the sky is on fire," Sora said with a smile.
Wayne pressed the corners of his mouth, his eyes twitched again, and after a while he said, "Yes, a storm is coming."
"Hello, Wayne."
"It's not good to see you..."
