Chapter 439
The Metropolitan Museum of New York, this is a very quaint place on the outskirts of New York City. It was built in the colonial era. It was just a small church. It is often named "Metropolis", so this museum is named "Metropolitan Museum".
It was originally in a small town near New York City, but due to the rapid expansion of the city, it is now included in the scope of New York and has become a century-old landscape.
But there are not many tourists here. In fact, few people know the existence of this museum. In addition to it is indeed very remote, another reason is that the museum itself is very professional. The institution, which mainly collects and researches, is about the cultural and historical monuments of ancient Greece.
It is said that 2/3/2021 of the mainstream professional literature on ancient Greece in the world is translated by the Metropolitan Museum.
So from a certain level, this is also an academic attraction.
“ding dong ”
The not-so-glossy glass door is pushed open, Cyber lifts the head and you can see the full Greek-style arch on the top of the door and the surrounding murals. Look There is a special exotic atmosphere upstairs. The entire spacious hall is supplemented by sunlight, so there is plenty of light here, but there are not many people in the very clean marble hall, which looks like a special silence.
"Hello, sir, do you have an appointment?"
A staff member stepped forward, holding an appointment book in his hand, looking at Cyber, the latter was shocked After a while, he whispered:
"No! But I'm here to find someone."
"oh?"
The lady's eyes I paused for a moment on the ancient Roman-style shield in Cyber’s hand, then pushed his glasses, and asked:
"Who do you call then?"
"One The lady named Diana, I'm here to give her something."
Cyber shrugged, raised the shield in his hand: "Don't look at me like that, ma'am, I only know her name is Diana, she I don’t know whether I’m married or not, including her phone number."
This kind of straightforward tone made the lady in charge of registration couldn’t help laughing. She took the booklet in her hand. Putting it aside, he held his shoulders with both hands and said to Cyber:
"Then, Mr. confused, I have to regret to tell you that there are 5 Mrs. Diana and 3 Miss Diana in this museum. There is a kid from Diana who comes to play often...so unless you provide more effective information, I can’t let you just walk in like this."
She looked at Cyber sincerely:
"The internal Greek commercial heritage area is undergoing renovation, and there are many precious cultural relics waiting to be migrated, so I hope you can understand."
Cyber is also a little embarrassing, the opposite is just an ordinary person , And the lady sister is so polite, he can't be demonized directly, and then break in all the way.
Finally, he stroked his sunglasses and said regretfully:
"Well then, I will find more information."
When he turned his head, a slightly familiar voice came from the second floor:
"Okay, Lina, don’t make it difficult for Mr. Cyber. He doesn’t have many times when he is so polite to ladies. See you, bring him up."
"Okay, Director Diana!"
This voice stopped Cyber's departure from where he was, and he turned his head back on the second floor. The upper person has gone to the building. The staff member named Lina made a "please" gesture at him:
"Then come with me, Mr. Cyber, Director Diana is waiting for you. "
"Oh? Diana?"
Cyber followed Lina. He turned to look at the surrounding frescoes depicting Greek mythology. He whispered:
"Then the curator is a lady or a lady?"
Lina laughed, and said softly:
"You should call her a lady.. She likes others to call her that."
After a while, Cyber stood in front of the curator’s office. He looked around. There was no one in the aisle. This museum made him feel a little bit empty. Surprisingly, there are too few people here.
"peng"
He pushed open the door of the Redwood room in front of him, and next moment he saw a simple decoration, as if staying in an office in ancient times, it was painted pale- On the yellow wall, there are various ancient Greek-style textiles, wind chimes, and murals. Cyber even saw the lyre in the corner. From the surface of the lyre, this thing should be used frequently.
He lifts the head, the ceiling of the room is not a glass chandelier in the hall, it is actually more like the kind of lanterns used by ancient people, but after modern treatment, it does not seem to have a special taste .
Under his feet, there is a thick wool carpet, which will not make a sound when you step on it. The patterns are very gorgeous, and you can see the real high-end goods at first glance, and they are placed on the edge of the wool carpet. There is a huge Redwood desk, an old-fashioned desk that looks very heavy.
A black hair beauty is sitting behind her desk working with some documents. Seeing Cyber come in, she lifts the head and pushes her eyes with a smile on her face:
"Long time no see, Mr. Cyber."
"It's you!"
At this moment, Cyber finally understands the meaning of Strange's words, he The moment I saw this beautiful lady, I remembered what happened in London before. He tilted his head and shook his head slightly. There was an incredibly smile on his face. He put the shield aside and said with a smile:
"Then mysterious Ms. Diana, you won't ask me to borrow a fire this time?"
Yes, the one sitting in front of me was on the streets of London, looking for Cyber The beautiful urban lady who borrowed the fire was really a fate. If he hadn't met today, he would have forgotten that scene long ago.
"It was just an accident. Travelling will inevitably cause a lot of inconvenience."
Diana put down the signature pen in her hand, she folded her hands and supported her chin, staring at her beautiful eyes. Looking at Cyber, and then looking towards the metal shield beside Cyber, a trace of nostalgia flashed in his eyes:
"Oh, did the Ancient One mage finally decide to return it?"
Without waiting for Cyber to speak, her gaze fell on Cyber again, this time with a trace of scrutiny: "So, are you the assistant she recommended to me?"
An inexplicable smile appeared:
"It doesn't look great."
This faint mockery didn't make Cyber furious. He looked around and pulled He passed a chair, sat on it, reached out and put the shield on the table in front of Ms. Diana’s eyes, knocked on it, and made a clear sound. He looked at Diana:
" What is it? And...who are you?"
"As you can see, this is a shield."
Diana picked up her signature pen again and said "As for me, I am the curator of the Metropolitan Museum of New York, an ordinary person who is meaningless in your eyes. Put things down and you can go. By the way, tell Master Master, I don’t need an assistant. I can handle those things by myself. Trouble."
"But I need help...and Ancient One tells me that I can get help from you."
Cyber pressed his finger on the shield and pushed forward After a while, Diana's signing was interrupted. The latter lifted the head and saw Cyber's gaze. There was also some scrutiny and suspicion in it.
"Ms. Diana, everyone has their own secrets. I can understand this."
Cyber said softly, "I didn’t intend to spy on your secrets. Your troubles I am happier if I need my help, because I have had enough trouble myself, but I have traveled a long distance from Central City to New York. It’s not really a job as a courier, if Ancient One hadn’t told you before. , Then I’ll repeat it again."
He cleared his throat:
"I sent the shield back to you, and you help me solve the problem I’m facing, I think This is fair!"
The voice fell to the ground, and the atmosphere in the entire office became a little stagnant. Diana put down the signature pen in her hand, she leaned on the chair behind her, and her ten fingers kept swinging around. , Apparently thinking about something, in the end, her eyes fell on Cyber again.
"It's not impossible to help you... as long as you can answer my three questions!"
Cyber also soothed his body, leaned on his chair, and made a " "Please" gesture:
"You can ask whatever you want, and I will choose whether to answer or not. You see, there has never been a free secret in this world. Let’s respect each other’s privacy."
"This won’t work...you know, I helped you and equivalent to intervene in your troubles, just like you said."
Diana opened the drawer, took out a bunch of ropes, and put them on the table. She looked at Cyber and increased her tone: "I have a lot of trouble, so whether I want to help you depends on whether you are Cooperation... Wrap this rope around your wrist, I only ask three questions..."
Her finger clicked on the table:
"You can do whatever you want Answer, I only need three answers."
Cyber took off his sunglasses, the dark red eyes of his eyes sparkled with flames, he did not look rashly into Diana's eyes, but instead set his gaze on the rope Above, there seems to be no problem with the rope. In the vision of the Eye of Confession, unimaginable magical power shines. The sparkle of that power is almost the strongest among all the magical items Cyber has seen.
Only the sandalwood fan that Ancient One gave him can mention on equal terms.
This made him hesitate... Without knowing the details, rushing into contact with other people's magic items is simply courting death.
"I can guarantee..."
Diana's voice in this brief moment sounded: "It will not hurt you, and I can also guarantee that you have to face Speed people, in this world, no one knows their details better than me."
"Good!"
Cyber took a deep breath, reached out and picked up the rope, Wei Wei Wrapped around the wrist, this is not reckless, but out of trust in Ancient One. The Supreme Mage's acting style is completely different from his, but there is one thing to ensure that she has never cheated him at least.
"Ask!"
Cyber relaxed, Ms. Diana with a peaceful smile, reached out and took off the glasses on her face. At this moment, Cyber really felt it Her charm is very special...as if it is not like a mortal, it seems that the glasses are also a special item.
She reached out and grabbed the other end of the rope. At the moment of contact, a layer of orange red rays of light shined on the surface of the rope, but Cyber had no special feeling. Next moment, Diana’s first A question arises:
"Have you been in contact with Ares, right?"
When I heard this question, Cyber instinctively wanted to deny it, and the weird self-proclaimed Ah Reese's soul is almost one of his secrets, but when he spoke, the rope on his wrist suddenly tightened, and a feeling of oppression enveloped his body, but it did not hurt Cyber.
It didn’t hurt him, but it forced him to have an urge to tell the truth, an uncontrollable urge, and there was no way to fight it emotionally. In the end, he was nodded:
"Yes, I have contacted him...huh...at the end of the battle of the Sanctuary in New York, he provided me with a way to subdue Atlas's decaying body...huh...from then on , He...he never showed up again."
Cyber finished these words with difficulty, and then felt the pressure on his body loosened. He subconsciously wanted to take off the rope from his wrist, but found that The rope is very tenacious, and with his current strength, there is no way to destroy it.
"What the hell is this!"
He lifts the head, looking at Diana with a trace of deceived anger: "This is your method?"
"Reassure, the mantra ropes will only make you tell the truth."
Diana's expression has cooled down, she stood up, pressed her left hand on Cyber's shoulder, and the huge force that came from pressing against Cyber Unable to stand up, she looked at the angry Lord of Devil Gang with flames in her eyes:
"Because of the current bad situation, I think you will be better to each other if you tell the truth.. .You are angry? Very good... When I heard the news, I was also angry. When the remaining questions are finished, we can fight!"
The lady’s voice also changed. Deep down and dangerous:
"You stupid bastard, your concealment almost ruined everything! I'm happy to beat you up to get out of my breath!"
