259 He's here he's here
It was a quiet night. Through the dining room windows with blue velvet curtains, you can clearly see the starry sky covering the entire sea, the gorgeous Milky Way, and the crimson rose nebula. Everything is so beautiful... Monroe slightly raised her enchanting face that had been popular most of the world, with a dazed look.
Even her agent didn't know that she took the initiative to participate in the largest "Far East Army" performance in the Lighthouse Kingdom after World War II, and her purpose was to escape.
I just want to escape the world temporarily, before she collapses completely...
No one knows that this world-class porn star who receives more than 5,000 courtship letters a day has always been spent in great depression; she, who is already infected with depression, shows the color of inverted beings on stage and on the screen, bringing countless happiness to the "Jacks", but she is like a clown who pleases the audience for life and has never received real happiness.
Monroe, 27 years old this year, has a nightmare tragic childhood.
She is an illegitimate daughter who was abandoned by her father before she was born. Her mother, grandfather, and grandmother were all mentally ill. Because she was unable to raise her, she had to give her to a foster family.
The reason why foster care families take her in is entirely for the government’s monthly subsidy of $5, and her monthly usage can only be limited to $2 or even less...
She has been in twelve foster care families. She had no Santa Claus in her childhood and had never owned her own Christmas tree... Every Christmas, she would quietly hide under the window of her neighbor, watch the children in her neighbors laugh around the Christmas tree, play games, and imagine other people's Christmas trees as their own.
It was not until it was adopted by her mother's best friend that Monroe lived a few good days.
My mother's best friend was very nice to her, but soon she was violated by her mother's best friend's husband. After her mother's best friend discovered her, she sent her to her aunt's place. Soon, Monroe was violated by her mother's best friend's son...
When she was 16 years old, her mother's best friend wanted to work in another city, so she married her to her neighbor.
The marriage ended with Monroe's husband joining the army. Her husband should have died on the battlefield, so she became a pretty widow at the age of 20.
Perhaps it was because of the unfortunate encounter in childhood and girlhood that when the simple and crude baseball star gave her a Christmas tree, Monroe fell in love with this man crazily and married him at lightning speed.
But soon she realized that this was not the love she was expecting. Baseball stars were like crazy people who had eaten the "Jealousy Fruit", monitoring and stalking her every day.
When she finally got rid of the man by taking a movie, another huge black palm stretched out from the "Apple City" and covered the originally cloudy sky above her head.
It was precisely to escape that she gave up her acting career and participated in this "Far East Army Working Forces".
Paradoxically, she actually disliked those soldiers of Lighthouse who always liked to paint her avatars beside planes and ships, but her purpose in joining the military was to use this to put a layer of protective color from the Lighthouse military.
She just hopes that this military experience will make the terrible black hand from Apple City be concerned.
"Norma, you are so willful, why do you have to insist on taking a boat back? We could have taken a plane... You know, "Seven Years Itch" is about to start filming, are you the heroine of this movie?"
Her friend Frank Sinatra, a guy who is comparable to Elvis, sat opposite her with a wine glass, complained: "And you chose this broken and old cruise ship? My God, at its turtle speed, how long will it take for us to return to the Lighthouse Kingdom?"
"Norma, are you sure that you didn't get the wrong route? We are not going to cross the Pacific Ocean to return to the west coast, but we have to go through Taiwan, Hong Kong Island, the Strait of Malacca, the Indian Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean, which is simply farther than Columbus..."
"Oh my God, you and your agent are crazy!"
Monroe laughed: "Then did you get on this boat with me? You can actually take a plane home after working on the army."
"There's no way, I spoil you so much, so I can only accompany you to crazy."
Frank shook his head helplessly: "Anyway, I'm a musician. This old cruise ship may bring me some inspiration? But I still don't understand what you think..."
Monroe replied softly: "Frank, I just want to go back to the Lighthouse Country later. You know, I don't have any good memories in the Lighthouse Country... and, 'those people' make me scared."
"Oh, you mean?"
Frank thought carefully, and suddenly his face changed drastically: "Hell, you are being entangled by them! Oh, Norma, this is not good news... Can the Lighthouse Army help you?"
"Who knows, you also know how powerful their power is... I can only take one step at a time."
When Monroe thought of the terrifying guys in Apple City, his face was filled with despair. After a while, he calmed down and pointed to the brightly lit port outside the window and said, "Frank, what beautiful the lights here?"
"That is Victoria Harbor on Hong Kong Island, one of the few deep-water ports on our route. Cruises need to replenish supplies here, and new guests will also be on board."
Frank pointed to the port and said, "Don't be confused by the beautiful port lights. This is the British. The poor Chinese were enslaved by them... Look at the figures busy under the port lights. They are all Chinese, working hard every day just to eat in one bite. Perhaps seeing their appearance will make Norma feel better, right?"
"No, Frank, they are happier than me..."
Monroe looked at the port from a distance and saw a loader in white uniform sitting on the cargo box under an English four-corner kerosene lamp, and an oriental woman was taking out hot meals from the basket and handing them to him.
"Frank, although they worked hard, they cared about their families and would bring them hot meals at night. And I had never eaten the meals made by my family. Even if I worked until late at night, I would not have any relatives to visit me..."
Speaking of this, the bright big eyes were filled with tears. They quickly turned their heads and wiped them off before Frank had noticed...
Frank pretended not to see this scene, and just comforted softly: "Norma, you will definitely get real love! Of course, I am not talking about that bad baseball star. Don't hesitate about Norma. After returning to the Lighthouse Country, quickly divorce him. The Christmas tree he gave you was actually just an old thing used by his neighbors..."
"I......"
