Chapter Eighty-Four: The Demon Mouse (Part II)
Hugo's mood became extremely heavy when he mentioned the past, although Sayuri's tone was very light, but Hugo knew that the fear and pressure were unimaginable, after all, there was no one by her side during that time. In the face of such tremendous pressure, the souls of the two girls could only resist stubbornly.
Sayuri said: "During that time... Hehe, I really don't want to mention it, no matter what I do, I look ahead and backward, and I can even say that I am completely on the verge of fear between life and death. You may be puzzled, after all, we have all been through so many things before, but this time the situation is really different, we have to face something that is beyond the palm of our hands, and this threat exists in our own body, in our own soul. You must know that a miracle doctor may be able to relieve the suffering of countless patients, but it may not be able to relieve the disease, let alone prevent oneself from getting sick. ”
Hugo nodded silently, he understood this truth, and understood it better.
Sayuri sighed slowly and suddenly said to Hugo: "Let's talk about something else first, I remember that you also spent a very lonely time." ”
Hugo looked at Sayuri, there was a hint of suspicion in his eyes, Sayuri pointed his forehead with his finger and said: "Don't forget that our consciousness has also been fused together, I am clear about some of your things, but you can rest assured that I did not invade your consciousness memory, but I accidentally touched it when I was helping you collect memory fragments, just like a fisherman who wants to keep his fingers from touching the water when fishing." ”
Hugo smiled indifferently at this, it doesn't matter whether Sayuri is intentional or not.
Hugo said: "I did spend a few years of solitude, and I was exactly the same as you have just said, but it so happened that I did have a huge granary, which was also inexhaustible, and I had only one companion at that time, and it was he who accompanied me through the most difficult times. ”
Sayuri smiled and said, "It's miserable, but it's also lucky." ”
"That's right. Hugo smiled and nodded.
Sayuri said, "What if you spent that time?"
"Read. Hugo replied lightly.
Sayuri smiled, "I remember that you used to like to read comic books. ”
Hugo smiled: "Children look at comic books like blind dogs looking at the stars, just watching the excitement, the stories on the comic books are told to me by Simon and Yuan Jing, the specific content is true or false, I don't know, at that time I just relayed the content of the story in my head to other playmates." ”
Sayuri laughed, "Thirteen once told me that you are the best storyteller in the world. ”
Hugo stared at Sayuri and said, "Now... Is she really no longer in your body?"
Sayuri nodded, this time her expression was extraordinarily serious, and there was no room for manoeuvre.
Hugo sighed lightly, and then said: "There is a golden house in the book, and there is Yan Ruyu in the book." These are the words of the man who taught me to read, and I had learned to read some words before that, but it was only scratching the surface, after all, reading was not important to me at that time, and finding edible food in a dilapidated supermarket cupboard was the guarantee of life. ”
"For about four years, I read books every day, from morning to night. In that granary where there is no light of day, it is impossible to distinguish between day and night, and the daily life is to eat, sleep, read, and defecate. ”
Sayuri smiled: "This statement of yours is really interesting, ordinary people will not say the matter of defecation." ”
Hugo said: "That only shows that their life is so exciting, when a person can't do anything, defecation will even become a pleasure in his life." ”
"It's fun to have a bowel movement, that's a really funny statement. ”
Hugo laughed: "It's actually very boring. ”
Sighing, Hugo continued: "Although my life was very monotonous during that time, I was also happy when I think about it, I have read and learned too much in the book, and the book has depicted a new world for me, so that my life is no longer only ruins and despair." ”
"Books, great beings. Sayuri agreed.
Hugo said: "It is precisely because of books that I finally persevered in surviving, otherwise I really dare not imagine that I have any courage to live in such a boring and desperate environment." During that time, I even began to think that such a dull life was actually very good, and it was also good to be a nerd and an old pedant with books for the rest of my life. ”
Sayuri smiled lightly, "But you still left that life after all." ”
Hugo nodded and said, "Because the arrival of an opportunity made me understand that there is still unwillingness and hatred in my heart." Of course, there is another reason, that is, as I read more and more books, I can't understand many things and think clearly. ”
Sayuri said: "That's it, as the saying goes, it's better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books." ”
Hugo said: "If you can't unite knowledge and action, what if you break hundreds of millions of scrolls?"
Sayuri laughed, "Who said you don't have magic rats in your granary? ”
Hugo said: "Maybe it helped me escape from that cage." ”
Sayuri tilted her head and said, "It seems to be the same." ”
Hugo said: "Okay, my matter is over for the time being, and then let's talk about your demon mouse Jennifer." ”
The episode just now seemed to have made Sayuri's mood relax a lot, so Sayuri continued: "In order to prevent Jennifer's soul from being devoured, Thirteen and I have decided to carry out a complete 'rat hunting' operation while constantly comprehending the power gained from the Tritogramia Stone Inscription. ”
Hugo said, "But you said you couldn't find it. ”
Sayuri said: "That's just a general metaphor, you have to know that my brain is so big, no matter how fast it runs, where can it escape." As if amused by her own cold humor, Sayuri's mouth showed a bright smile, but it quickly retracted.
"But what worries me and Thirteen is not that we can't find Jennifer, but what will happen if we find her, after all, her power is so powerful that we may completely destroy it in a short period of time, and the excessive entanglement of soul consciousness will lead us into a terrible circle of vortex, and eventually our subjective consciousness will fall into madness and collapse. ”
Hugo's brow furrowed closer when he heard this, and he knew that the real test had come.
Sayuri said: "After some discussion, we decided that when we found Jennifer, we would use a person's soul to restrain her... That is to say, use a person's soul to seal and control Jennifer's soul!"
