Chapter 9: The World of Truth and Falsehood
Liu Zhengyi's words made Hugo stunned and looked at him in surprise.
Liu Zhengyi seemed to have said something completely unintentional, and when he finished speaking, he didn't feel a little regretful, but it was already overwhelmed.
Without waiting for Hugo to ask, Ah Hitomi on the side couldn't help but say eagerly: "Dad, what happened?"
Liu Zhengyi glared at his daughter sideways, and Hitomi realized his gaffe and stuck out his tongue in embarrassment. At this time, they are facing a patient, and the instability of the medical staff is very likely to cause panic among the patients.
Fortunately, Hugo looked extremely calm, which surprised Yoo Masayoshi, who had never seen this kind of calmness in his many years of medical practice, even in terminally ill patients who knew that his limit was imminent.
Liu Zhengyi smiled indifferently and said to Hugo: "You don't have to worry, in fact, what I said about the strangeness is not a dangerous thing, but an extremely stable thing." It's just that... It was a little too smooth for me to feel a little out of the ordinary. ”
Hugo also smiled and nodded his head to show his understanding.
Yoo Masayoshi paused and then said to Hugo, "Have you ever paid attention to your heartbeat rate on weekdays?"
Hugo's heart suddenly moved when he heard this, but he shook his head quietly on the surface and said: "I didn't pay much attention, I feel that my heart has always been fine, and there has never been any problems." ”
Liu Zhengyi shook his head and said, "As I said just now, it's not that your body is abnormal, it's that your body is too normal. When I examined your body earlier, I noticed that even when you are in a coma, your pulse rate tends to be extremely stable. It seems that the heart is not affected by changes in bodily functions. The situation is the same as before, although the number of heartbeats and pulses is not the same, but it is still in that stable state. ”
Hitomi couldn't help but interject on the side: "Isn't that pretty good?" ”
Yoo said: "It is indeed a good thing that the heart rate is stable, but it is very dangerous if the human heart always lasts at a stable value. To take the simplest example, our average heart rate is around sixty or seventy, but if we do not maintain this value after strenuous exercise, the heart rate must increase because it needs to provide the body with corresponding energy. If it continues at a certain level, the human body is in danger. ”
Hugo didn't say anything when he heard this, and after being killed by Sayuri and resurrected, Hugo's heart rate was almost fixed at a value. No matter what kind of danger and danger he faced, his heart value has not changed. When Tianying entered the test, Zhuang Ze also noticed this point to determine Hugo's special identity.
When Ah Tong heard this, he suddenly realized, and Hugo smiled when he saw this: "I shouldn't have reached that exaggerated point, and I will clearly feel my heart beating violently after the school run." ”
Liu Zhengyi smiled indifferently and said, "Maybe I'm too worried." Don't worry, your health is very good now, if the conditions are possible, you can stay in the hospital for two more days of observation, so that you can be more reliable. Hitomi also mentioned some situations to me earlier, so you don't have to worry about the cost of treatment. ”
Hugo looked at Hitomi and saw the other party smiling sweetly at him, and suddenly Hugo's heart swelled with a warm current. This time, Hugo did not refuse, but sincerely said to Yoo Masayoshi: "Thank you." ”
Yoo Masayoshi also smiled happily, and his smile was full of the love and care of the elders.
Hugo looked at this unfamiliar face, and thought of its tragic ending in this world, and his heart couldn't help but ache faintly.
After a few more words of advice to Hugo, Yoo and Hitomi left the ward.
Hugo lay on the bed and only felt that the knot in his heart had not been untied until now. A few days after entering this new world, the once familiar person appeared in front of Hugo's eyes like a marquee after changing his identity, leaving Hugo feeling distraught.
Whether it is Su Wan, Zhuang Ze, Paper Kite, Hara Chitose, or Liu Zhengyi and Hitomi, these people around Hugo seem to have found their own peace and happiness in this world.
Here they are not burdened with all kinds of unfortunate fate, there are no tragic encounters, their lives are peaceful but full of hope, and every day seems so bright.
On the other hand, only he is still burdened with an unfortunate fate.
The East Island is still ruined, and he still lives alone in the Malfoy Apartment. If the world he seems familiar with is not as it seems, and everything seems to change, then the only thing that remains constant is himself.
At this time, Hugo was like a cosmic god observer, and only he knew that the world was false, and everything was a mirage newly established in his memory by the remnants of the power of the fragments of the Tritoglaia stone inscription.
However, this mirage is so real that even Hugo, the owner of the original memory, finds a sense of belonging in this false world.
But even so, Hugo already knew in his heart that the world was not real.
"It's not my world. Hugo muttered to himself.
Suddenly, a question flashed through Hugo's mind.
What was the original world supposed to look like?
When Hugo did not enter this world, everything was in peace.
Paper Kite and Hara Chitose are doing their "bad business", Su Wan and Zhuang are coming together, and Hitomi and her father are living happily. When this scene reappeared in Hugo's mind, Hugo suddenly realized, could this be the world that should have been in this world?
If it weren't for him, the East Island Destruction Day might not have happened. Then these people will not be disturbed.
Su Wan will not be exiled to a foreign land, Yoo Masayoshi will not be wrongfully imprisoned, and Paper Kite and Hara Chitose will not become desecrators.
And if he hadn't entered the metropolitan area, he wouldn't have met Hitomi, and Hitomi wouldn't have lost his life because of himself in the end.
All the consequences can be traced back to him.
He is the source of all misfortune.
The pupils in Hugo's eyes constricted suddenly, and his eyes stared at the ceiling without blinking.
When this thought appeared in his mind, he no longer lingered, and spread like ink drops on rice paper, and finally his heart was dyed black.
"Is it all because of me..."
Hugo whispered, his voice so weak that even he could hardly hear it.
Although Hugo was accustomed to blaming himself for many things, his inner sense of self-reproach reached an unprecedented peak.
Endless darkness seeped through the window like black mud, enveloping Hugo completely.
