Chapter 52: Confession in the Fall
The broken moon hung high in the night sky, and the night breeze blew back and forth through the city as usual, not changing by the change of time. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Hitomi walked to the roof in a thick hoodie, and when he opened the rooftop door, a tricky cold wind blew, and Hitomi shivered subconsciously, wrapped the clothes on his body again, and then walked out.
Under the bright lights of the city, the towering rooftop is also very bright, and the view is excellent. Hitomi looked around, and finally saw Hugo's figure.
Hugo sat on the edge of the rooftop, leaning forward, his legs dangling vertically from the edge of the building, swinging back and forth rhythmically, the night wind rolling up his trouser legs, and the sound of hunting. This is an extremely leisurely posture, but it is also an extremely dangerous state, and the slightest mistake will cause the whole person to fall from a tall building and die on the spot.
Of course, Hugo didn't care about this, holding a glass bottle, sometimes pouring the liquid into his mouth, and looking at the night city in front of him, intentionally or unintentionally.
Hitomi leaned over to Hugo, and saw that several of these empty bottles were already stacked on the ground around him, and the air was filled with the smell of strong alcohol. Ah Tong frowned, walked behind Hugo, sat down and said, "Why are you here to get drunk alone? ”
Hugo shrugged his shoulders and said, "The law has no binding force on me many years ago, and now I just follow some rules that are actually necessary." After that, he took another sip of wine and said, "Besides, I'm not a minor alcoholic, alcohol has no effect on me, and I will never get drunk again after I get this ability." ”
Ah Tong glanced at Hugo and said slightly: "You won't get drunk at such a young age, I really feel sorry for your future life." ”
Hugo laughed self-deprecatingly, and threw his head back to fill the rest of the bottle.
Looking at Hugo's appearance of swallowing and drinking, and feeling the heat faintly emanating from his body, Hitomi felt a strange sense of relief, and moved his steps closer to Hugo.
"Sometimes I feel like I have the power to change, but at the end of the day, I find that I can't change what I can't change. Hugo said suddenly, his tone full of loneliness.
Ah Tong looked at Hugo's appearance and felt a pain in his heart, and reached out to hold Hugo's hand on the side.
Hugo sighed and bowed his head silently.
Hitomi comforted: "It's not your fault that you didn't catch the Akame shrine maiden, if you hadn't arrived at that time, there would have been more casualties, and it was you who saved everyone at that time." ”
Hugo shook his head and said: "Now it seems that the gap between me and the Akame Witch is still too far, just by the ability to tear through the night sky and then escape from the spatial crack, it can be seen that her ability is far above me, and I still can't stop one of her arrows with three black arrows, and the strength between the two is indeed very different." ”
Hitomi was silent, she wanted to say some words of comfort or encouragement to Hugo at this time, but she couldn't say anything when the words came to her mouth, and even if she said it, it would look extremely pale.
Hugo turned his head to look at Hitomi, and when he touched the pair of moist eyes, Hugo suddenly felt the softest part of his heart tighten, and a gentle smile appeared on his face unconsciously.
"Are you saying I'm doing something wrong?"
Hearing Hugo's question, Hitomi immediately shook his head.
"I also don't think I've done anything wrong. Hugo said: "As you said before, this city seems to be glamorous, but in the sun it hides incomparably dark and dirty things, which are more pickled and ugly than the power of my blasphemer, and cannot see the sun." ”
"I thought I could change all of this with my unique abilities, but now it seems that I'm taking things too simply. Haruki, Yiyi, Skeleton Boy, Akame Shrine Maiden, I see a lot of things in these people, and the strength of being a blasphemer is still a shortcoming of human nature. And I also feel my shadow from them, maybe in the future, I will also subtly become like them, which I don't want to see. ”
After this long monologue, Hugo's eyes were unusually bright, like a pair of bright lights, full of unique brilliance. A-Hitomi saw the loneliness and lack from the words of the incomparably rational expression and the bright eyes.
"You're wrong. Hitomi said excitedly: "Big mistake!"
Hugo was stunned for a moment and looked at Hitomi.
Hitomi sorted out the chaotic thoughts in his mind and said, "Your ability belongs to darkness, but your heart has always been inclined to light. Compared to others, your thoughts are purer and more selfless. ”
"I was the one who persuaded you to become a superhero, because then I felt in you something that I couldn't feel in any real world before, and that state was closer to the ideal, more ethereal. But I know that illusory idea can be fulfilled in you. ”
