Chapter 1155 The mouse played with the cat to death Chapter 1156 Men don't cry!? (Seeking the moon(2/3)
I smiled, sat down on the sofa, and lit a cigarette.
"Mr. Corleon, you mentioned Thomas Edison just now and mentioned a letter. What's going on?" Tesla asked seriously, sitting opposite me.
"Mr. Tesla, are you and Mr. Edison friends?" I asked on purpose.
"Friends!?Friends!?Hahahaha!" After hearing my words, Tesla burst into laughter, as if he had heard the funnyest joke in the world. His body trembled violently, and tears flowed out of his eyes.
And his laughter was full of hatred and anger.
"Mr. Corleon, I tell you. I wish I could eat Edison raw! It was like two parallel lines between me and him, and hatred would always lie in the middle!" When Tesla said this, he gritted his teeth and his eyes were full of fierce light, as if he was really trying to eat Edison raw.
His hands were tightly clenching. He said viciously: "I have fought with this villain all my life. He suppressed and excluded me for the rest of my life! Look at what he did to me. If it weren't for him, I would definitely be the greatest inventor in the world now. My inventions and creations will definitely bring unlimited benefits to mankind! But now, I can only hide here and secretly conduct research! He ruined my life, and he also ruined countless opportunities for human beings to make great progress!"
"I pray to God every day that this old guy will not die well!"
Nikola Tesla looked up at the top, as if a wounded wolf howled in the moonlight!
Although I don’t know what happened between him and Edison. But when I saw this scene in front of me, I was very sure that Nicholas would have been extremely exorcist and suffering from Edison in this life. Otherwise, it would be impossible for people like Nicholas Tesla to show such a look when they mentioned Edison!
"Mr. Corleon! Why did Edison ask you to come to me for? Is this immortal who has any new conspiracy?? Did he try every means to frame me again? Tell him that I will not let him succeed! Never!" Nichola Tesla was already a little hysterical at this time. He looked at me and shouted loudly.
I looked at him, looking at the old man with gray hair and angry as a lion, with a very calm expression.
And my calmness also surprised Nikola Tesla. He finally realized that under my calmness, there must be something extraordinary. This thing must be very important to him.
So, after a while of roar, Nikola Tesla looked at me and became quiet.
"Mr. Tesla, Thomas Edison passed away, just one day ago." I said coldly.
"What!? What did you say!?" When Nikola Tesla heard my words, he stepped forward and grabbed my clothes, his eyes wide open. His eyes were almost falling off.
"Edison has passed away. He just passed away." I said again.
"Diet?! Dead!?" Nichola Tesla's face became stiff, the muscles on his face were trembling, as if they were laughing, and as if they were crying, so that their facial features became distorted!
"Die! Thomas Eddie is dead! Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!" Nikola Tesla laughed like a madman. He ran around the room, laughing, and while laughing, he grabbed the documents on the table and threw all his documents into the air!
"Eddie is dead! Eddie is dead!" Nicholas Tesla laughed loudly, staggering, and stumbled! His laughter became shrill. It made people's eardrums numb!
The laughter echoed in the empty room, releasing decades of resentment, which was very harsh!
"Eddie is dead! Eddie is dead!" Nicholas Tesla laughed, then suddenly made it to the ground, and the expression on his face suddenly began to change, from the original ecstasy to a little dull, and then a hint of loneliness and sadness appeared.
"Edison... is dead, Edison... is dead." Nicholas Tesla sat there, his voice gradually dimmed, his head slowly drooped, his expression became very frustrating, and then he fell silent.
The room was silent, so quiet that you could hear your heartbeat.
This scene made all of us stunned. This old man's emotions have also changed too quickly!
But looking at this old man, I can feel his inner feelings.
Nikola Tesla and Edison fought for a lifetime, and the two hated each other to the core, but in the last moment of their lives, the situation obviously changed. Edison's attitude towards Nikola Tesla changed by 180 degrees before his death. After hearing the news of Edison's death, Nikola Tesla was able to be ecstatic, lonely and sad in the end. This is completely understandable.
It’s like two martial arts masters who are enemies of each other, fighting for a lifetime. When one hears the news of the other’s death, he must feel an inexplicable sadness and loneliness.
"The mouse played with the cat to death. The mouse played with the cat to death." After a long time, Nikola Tesla stood up and said something that made us inexplicably.
Nikola Tesla's reaction after hearing the news of Eddie's life and death was beyond my expectations.
To my expectations, it was because I knew that he hated Edison. I knew that he would be ecstatic after hearing this news, but a fight with him for the rest of his life would definitely cause great emptiness and loneliness in the old man's heart. Nikola Tesla's performance was obviously as expected by me.
What I expected was that Nikola Tesla's complex feelings for Edison were far beyond my imagination. I did not expect that there would be such a tangled relationship between this old man and Edison.
Looking at his hysterical appearance, watching him experience a series of changes from ecstasy to sadness in a short time, even my heart ached. In fact, through Edison's explanation to me, through the story of Nikola Tesla told by Robin and me. I have learned that Nikola Tesla is an upright and kind person. Such a person's hatred for Edison and the sadness and heart-wrenching feelings really shocked me!
No matter what their relationship is, these two old men have only tangled their lives together. It can be said that Nikola Tesla's life will never be able to cut off Edison. Similarly, Nikola Tesla's shadow is lurking in Edison's life!
We all sat there, letting the old man release his inner emotions freely without anyone disturbing him. We quietly waited for him to return to normal.
And what Nikola Tesla said after a long silence made us open our eyes.
The mouse killed the cat? What does this sentence mean?
It seems as if Nikola Tesla alluded to him as a mouse, and compared Edison to a cat. Nikola Tesla has been playing with by Edison all his life, but now he is waiting for news of Edison's death. His opponent died one step ahead of him. For Nikola Tesla, the resentment that had been suppressed in his heart for decades has finally been released.
The subtext and complex emotions contained in this sentence are really difficult to express clearly in words.
"How did that bastard Edison die?" Tesla stood up from the ground and walked to me.
I told Edison about the situation before and after Edison passed away, especially the things Edison said about Tesla before his death, and Edison's apologies and confessions to Tesla.
Tesla listened very seriously. During the listening process, the old man's body trembled and asked me to give him a cigarette. He lit the fire and took a few sips, but was choked by the cigarette and coughed. Obviously, he didn't know how to smoke.
"Mr. Corleon, do you say that he reflected on what he did during his lifetime and asked for my forgiveness?" Nicholas Tesla obviously did not believe that Edison would have such a behavior.
"Yes, Mr. Tesla. Mr. Edison told me the story between him and you before his death. He had fought with you for the rest of his life and felt extremely regretful about what you had done. And I could see that Mr. Edison's confession was sincere." I looked at Tesla and said seriously.
"I don't believe it! I don't believe it! I don't believe it Edison would say such things!" Tesla still shook his head flatly.
"I can't help if you don't believe it, but I have a letter here, which was written to you by Edison when he was living first. He asked me to pass it on to you after he died." I took out the letter from my bag and handed it to Tesla.
Nikola Tesla did not take it immediately. He looked at the letter in my hand, his lips trembled, not knowing whether to answer or not.
His heart must be turbulent. He does not believe that Edison will perform like this. In contrast, he hopes that Edison will be full of resentment towards him when he dies. If so, Nikola Tesla will not have any turbulence in his heart. He can scold Edison, hate him as much as before. He curses him!
But now, if Edison really expressed his sincere confession before his death as I said, Nicholas Tesla would be at a loss. His heart was like a big stone thrown into the calm water, causing layers of ripples!
In his heart, he probably didn't want Edison to make such a confession. He wanted to hate Edison for the rest of his life until he died! And what if Edison really did this, what would he do? Is his hatred for the rest of his life so much?
Nikola Tesla just looked at the letter in my hand, biting her lips tightly, and making blood marks on her lips.
Finally, he raised his head, closed his eyes in pain, and sighed for a long life.
Then he took the letter and opened the envelope.
"Hahahaha! Hahahaha!" After reading the letter, Nichola Tesla burst into laughter. His smile had almost no joy, but was shrill and sad!
"Hahahahahahahaha! Edison! Hahahahaha! Edison!" Nikola Tesla held the letter and burst into tears!
But then, he cried out, from sob to crying!
The crying was heart-wrenching and made people unable to bear to listen.
There is deep hatred buried in it, but it also brings infinite sighs and regrets!
"Edison! Thomas Edison! Why do you die! Why do you die!" Nichola Tesla clenched his fists and shouted loudly: "You are dead like this! You are dead like this! Have asked me if I have not!"
Nikola Tesla laughed, but tears were flowing on her face, and she was completely crazy.
"Dad!" Robin was very worried and walked over to help Nikola Tesla.
Nikola Tesla gradually calmed down, and he fell on his chair, lowered his head and remained motionless, as if he had suddenly become aged for dozens of years.
He slowly unfolded the letter Edison had already been rubbed in his hand, and read it over and over again with his head down, his attitude as if a primary school student was reading a text aloud.
I don’t know how many times he read it, but he carefully folded the letter and put it in his pocket.
Then he took out his handkerchief, wiped away his tears, and then raised his head and stared at me.
"Mr. Corleon, are you here to invite me to the funeral in Edison?" Nichola Tesla looked at me and asked in a deep voice.
"Not bad. Mr. Tesla, I don't know what happened between you and Mr. Edison, but I think no matter how much hatred is, there is no weight in the face of death." I spread my hands.
Nikola Tesla looked at me and nodded: "Okay. I promise you. I will follow you to attend Edison's funeral."
"Dad! Edison treats you like that, and you are still attending his funeral!?" Robin, who was standing next to Tesla, immediately screamed.
"Robin, my child. You can't understand the relationship between me and Edison." Nicholas Tesla sighed a long sigh, and then he waved his hand to us: "Robin, take Mr. Corleon and the others out for rest. I'm tired, tired."
After Nikola Tesla said that, he lowered his head and even lowered his voice.
"Mr. Tesla, there are some important things we want to tell you too. Mr. Edison talked about you to us before his death. He hoped we could owe..." I decided to strike while the iron was hot to see if I could bring Nikola Tesla over.
"Mr. Corleon, I'm not in the mood to think about other things now. Let's talk about these things after I've attended Edison's funeral. OK? I'll rest too. Robin, take a look." Nichola Tesla didn't listen to me, and then waved his hand again.
Robin took me out of the room and left the church.
I turned around and looked at the tall church and sighed.
Our group found a high-end hotel in a block near this slum and moved in. Since Nikola Tesla had promised us to attend Edison's funeral, he would definitely come to find us. All we could do was wait.
That night, we stayed in the hotel and didn't go out. The next morning, before I got up, Gans dragged me out of bed.
"What's wrong? It's only what time!" I looked at my watch and it was only six o'clock.
"Boss, get up, that old man is coming to find us." Gans laughed.
"Who?" I was still a little confused.
"Nicolo Tesla! Who else can there besides him?" Gans opened his eyes wide.
I got up from the bed, washed up quickly, put on my clothes and walked out of the room. Inside the living room, Nikola Tesla stood in front of the corner of the living room, looking at a painting on the wall with both hands on her back.
After hearing my footsteps, he turned around and walked over and reached out like me: "Hello, Mr. Corleon."
The Tesla in front of me and the Tesla I saw yesterday are completely different!
Although the style is a bit old, it is extremely decent and the materials are very exquisite. The tailoring style is completely in Eastern Europe. It matches Tesla's thin figure very well, and it shows more heroic spirit. The gray hair is neatly sent backwards without any confusion. The originally messy beard has also been cleaned up. The beard on the bottom is shaved clean, with a bow tie on the neck, and a white handkerchief is turned on the pocket on the chest. It is dressed up all over, and it is very gentlemanly.
No, it is far from enough to describe Tesla in front of you as a gentleman. It should be said that he is more like a spiritual nobleman, with his temperament. It seems to have penetrated into Tesla's bone marrow, so attractive and so amazing.
"Mr. Tesla, I thought you were not here." I held Tesla's hand and laughed happily.
"Mr. Corleon, I'm sorry to know what happened yesterday. I hope you can forgive me." Tesla was very polite. "I can understand, I can understand the complex emotions between you and Mr. Edison." I took a deep breath and said, "I know the entanglement between you. Although I don't know what the letter Mr. Edison said in you, I know that Mr. Edison's apology to you before his death is sincere. I am very happy that you can agree to attend his funeral. Mr. Tesla, Mr. Edison is my friend, I thank you for him!"
