Chapter 41: Making Demons
Matthew was surprised by Hugo's sudden change of attitude, and he thought that Hugo would continue to harsh himself in order to extract more information from his alarm clock, but Hugo suddenly said that it was all over and let him go.
And when Akita on the side was also surprised, Hugo had already turned straight and prepared to leave, as if there was no room for hesitation.
Akita immediately looked at Matthew in surprise, and for a moment Akita even suspected that Matthew had some kind of blasphemous ability to control Hugo's thinking nerves, Matthew smiled faintly at Akita, with full pride on the corner of his mouth, as if he was saying to Akita: I'll just say I won't die.
Hugo took a few steps and turned to Akita and said, "What are you doing there, we still have a lot of things to deal with tonight." β
Akita came to his senses, judging from Hugo's tone, he was by no means controlled by others, but...
At this moment, Hugo turned to Matthew and said, "Speaking of which, there is a fate between you and me, but in the end I still didn't kill you after all." β
Matthew steadied himself and tried to sort out his thoughts, and finally he said to Hugo suspiciously: "You... Do you really want to let me go?"
Hugo said: "I won't lose my word a second time tonight." "Hugo's so-called first gaffe was naturally about killing Matthew.
Suddenly, an uneasy emotion rose faintly in Matthew's heart, and strangeness filled his heart.
"Why?"
This is Matthew's question from the bottom of his heart.
"Why?" Hugo looked up at the night sky, and then muttered, "Because I am a man who knows how to repay his kindness." β
"Repay the favor?" Matthew was even more puzzled.
Hugo shrugged his shoulders and said, "Okay, I still have something to do here, so I won't delay your family reunion, farewell." With that, Hugo waved at Akita and turned to leave.
"Family reunionβ" Matthew frowned even more when he heard this, Hugo's words made him fall into a fog, but this doubt only increased the fear in his heart more and more.
At this time, Matthew suddenly realized something, something he had always overlooked, that is, he was not the only one present, Hugo, and Akita, but also another humanoid mecha wearing black mechanical armor.
Hugo left, but when he left, he only signaled to Akita that something was going on, and did not say anything about the humanoid mecha, and at the same time, the humanoid mecha did not mean to leave with Hugo, and the crimson blindfold on its head was always looking at him.
Matthew's heart contracted suddenly, and he even stopped for a moment. At this moment, he finally understood where the strong killing intent was coming from.
It was also at this time that the humanoid mecha spoke: "Xiao Xiu, long time no see." β
...
When Hugo had left Matthew more than 20 meters before Akita caught up, Akita still felt extremely unwilling and whispered to Hugo: "Do you really want to let Matthew go?"
Hugo said: "It's not my business to let him go." β
"Butβ" Akita was about to say something, but Hugo interrupted, "what happened tonight has far exceeded our expectations, and Matthew is no longer the protagonist of these things." β
Akita said: "But killing Matthew is not a difficult task, it can be said that in the blink of an eye..."
Hugo said: "You don't have to worry too much about Matthew, believe me that he will not survive tonight." β
"Huh?" Akita's eyes widened in confusion.
Hugo pointed behind him with his thumb and said, "That brother helped me just now, so I decided to give him the opportunity for revenge." β
Hearing this, Akita hurriedly turned his head to look, although the two sides were already at a distance at this time, Akita could already see the two facing each other and Matthew's pale face.
"He is..."
Hugo said: "He is Matthew's brother, and at the same time he hates Matthew more than I do. β
Hugo's words made Akita more and more confused, but it was obvious that everything was in Hugo's calculations, and even then Akita hesitated: "But... He's Matthew's brother anyway, so he'll really..."
Hugo said: "It doesn't matter if he actually kills Matthew or not, because Matthew is no longer a threat to us." β
After a pause, Hugo seemed to fall into some kind of memory, and after a short memory, Hugo said: "The crazy and extreme Matthew no longer exists, and the hatred for me continues to accumulate in his heart, and it is precisely because of this desire for revenge that he is more and more unscrupulous, and even in the face of me, he will put on a very low attitude and grovel, just to regain the opportunity, such a person is not threatening." β
Akita frowned and said, "But isn't such a person even more terrifying?"
Hugo shook his head and said, "It's not that I'm tired of trying to be brave, but that I'm used to failure, and in his heart cowardice begins to turn into endurance and humiliation, and survival begins to become so-called hope." Wild dogs, deprived of madness, no matter how they grinned their tails, would starve to death on the grasslands. β
Akita nodded thoughtfully.
Hugo patted Akita on the shoulder and said, "Don't think about him, believe me, Matthew will be erased from this world in the morning." β
...
The silence continued between Matthew and Marceau, and although the two brothers had not been together in the closest way after several years, it was also the closest distance they had.
After a long time, Matthew finally spoke and whispered, "Brother... Brother?"
Ma Suo sighed with emotion and said: "After so many years, I didn't expect you to call me brother, but I don't have you as a brother in my heart anymore." β
Through this, Matthew has become more sure that the humanoid mecha in front of him is Masuo, and the horror is more incredible.
But soon, Matthew sneered, and the laughter grew louder and louder, and then the sneer turned into a crazy grin.
"Haha, Hugo, Hugo, I really underestimate you, in the end you still want my life, you are really a complete hypocrite!"
"I don't think so, I don't know his name here, only that he's called 'Pulsatilla,' but he did fulfill his promise and leave you to me. I could feel that he was really like he killed you with his own hands. β
Matthew sneered: "What do you know? He is using the most cruel means to take revenge on me, he wants to use your hand, use your hand to kill me! Let your brother kill my brother with his own hands, this is his idea, his purpose!"
Marceau shook his head and said, "It's not his idea, it's mine." β
Matthew's body was completely stunned when he heard this, and he felt a firm absoluteness from Marceau's words, and this absoluteness was extremely unfavorable to himself.
"Do you remember how long it has been since we last met?"
Matthew was silent.
Ma Suo said: "You don't remember that I understand, after all, in your mind, that brother has already died, died in that crazy night in his family affection, died in his simplicity. Of course, he may not be dead, but he is no longer a threat to you. β
"No... No," Matthew shook his head in disagreement.
"What does that look like? What do you think when you decide to pull the trigger? Do you think that kind of injury is something I'll heal after a night's sleep? Or do you do it with a mischievous mentality, and when it's all over, I'm going to laugh and stand up with you, and laugh out loud with the dust off my body?"
"No, brother, listen to me..."
"I don't listen!"
Maso roared, the sound coming from the speaker of the "God-killing Armor", the roar was piercing.
"No amount of clever justification from you is of any use, it will not heal my body and heart, it will not make me regain my health, make me stand up, and become a normal person!"
Matthew took a step back, feeling a hint of remorse in the face of Marceau's rage, but this feeling only flashed through his heart.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry..."Marceau had a pained look on his face.
"I was really... I was really, really scared, my body wasn't even under the control of my brain at that time, and I didn't believe I would... I'm going to do such crazy and ridiculous things, Maso, you have to believe me, I really didn't mean to hurt you, really..."
"Really?" said Marceau, to Matthew.
"Of course, Iβ" Just as Matthew was about to argue, he suddenly heard a pop, and the expression on Matthew's face froze there, and then he slowly looked down at his lower abdomen.
I saw that a sharp short knife had dripped into his abdomen, and the red blood slowly flowed down the blood groove on the short knife, and fell to the ground ticking.
The hand holding the short knife was the "God-killing Armor" controlled by Maso.
"It seems that so much time has passed, and you have really forgotten a lot of things. Then I'll help you remember it. β
A whispered voice slowly emanated from the helmet of the "God-Killing Armor", as if out of hell.
"Do you remember what you did that night, after you shot and before you left?"
The muscles on Matthew's face trembled, and painful sweat trickled down his face.
"You smiled, you smiled at me, I still can't forget your smile, that smile reminded me of a lot of things, it reminded me of your childhood, when my father was not drunk and crazy, he would occasionally buy us some candy, think about that was the happiest moment of our childhood. That's when you're smiling like that..."
β... That's your happiest smile. β
The black "Armor of the Godslayer" helmet is closer to Matthew.
"Tell me, thinking I'm shooting... Are you happy?"
"I... Iβ" Matthew tried to say something, but soon Maso's short knife was pulled out of his abdomen and thrust into his lower abdomen with great speed.
With another creepy "poof" sound, Matthew's face was already extremely pale, and a gray and black death intent also spread on his face.
"Tell me!" Marceau roared.
"Yes, I'm happy to shoot you, I'm happy to see you in pain!"
Matthew suddenly roared like crazy, and his face suddenly flushed, temporarily dispelling the gray and black of death.
Matthew gripped his hands tightly on the shoulders of the God-Killing Armor and stared wide as he approached it. Masuo, who was hundreds of miles away, could clearly see the angry eyes in his perceptual vision through the "God-killing Armor".
Red blood flowed from the corners of Matthew's mouth, quickly staining the placket of his chest.
"Then you deserve it, you deserve it!" Matthew roared.
"You betrayed me first, betrayed me! You left me without saying hello, left this home, just so that you can get your own happiness and ideals, have you ever thought about me, have you ever thought about me!"
The emotions that have been suppressed in my heart for many years finally burst out, different from the previous story to Hugo, this time Matthew is like an erupting volcano, but what he erupts is its last vitality.
"After you leave, I will have to face that old drunkard alone, bear the pain and torture he gave me alone, and bear the malice of this world against me alone! Where were you at that time? My good brother?"
After the outburst, Matthew's voice began to muffle.
"At that time, you enjoyed flowers and applause, dreams and friendships, but you didn't think of me. β
Listening to Matthew's narration, Marceau's emotions were also infected, and in the control cabin, Marceau's face also left tears.
"No... No, I didn't...", this time Marceau began to explain.
"I don't listen, very, very don't want to listen. Because no matter what you say, you can't change my past, those past events are imprinted in my life, in my soul, and these are things that you can never erase, even if I am reincarnated in the next life, it will be engraved in my reincarnation book, and I enter the hell roar, which is also the sword used by other evil spirits to attack me. β
With that, Matthew reached out and pressed a palm on the blade of his lower abdomen, and clenched it with random force, and the blade quickly cut into his skin, and blood flowed out.
"Now you have the power and the opportunity for revenge, so you come to punish me and accuse me of what I did back then, and you have forgotten what you did?"
Matthew's throat was a little dry, and although blood filled his mouth, the hot smell only made him thirstier even more. But Matthew knew that the feeling would soon fade.
"Now I am a demon in the eyes of the world, even a 'monster' like Hugo has the right to accuse me on behalf of justice, and I confess to this, but I want to say that the reason why I am what I am today is all thanks to you, because of you, I completely lost my happiness, changed my fate, and ruined my life!"
"I went on the path of sin, in the company of the darkest things, selling my soul and my body, and becoming a devil to be spurned by all. All of this is due to you, you are the one who created the ugliest and crazy demon in the world!"
