Chapter 278: Making the World a More Interesting Place

For Hugo's threat, Li Du maintained a calm and indifferent expression, and his palm on his knee did not show the slightest stalemate, he just smiled lightly and whispered to Hugo: "You can try." ”

A few words are unpretentious, but they are full of confidence.

Hugo looked at Li Du intently, he didn't understand where the other party's strong self-confidence came from, maybe he was sure that he would never do it, maybe there was an arrangement in the dark that he hadn't yet noticed, even if he made a brazen move, it wouldn't pose any threat.

The latter is more likely, after all, Li Du said that he had already resisted four assassinations by the blasphemers.

However, it didn't matter to Hugo for any reason, because he didn't have any reason to make a move.

In the end, Hugo shook his head with a faint smile and said, "You won." ”

Li Du also laughed, as if he was very satisfied with this small victory that Shicai himself had won.

Then Li Du got up and walked over to a wall-type wine cabinet next to him.

"Do you drink?"

Hugo raised an eyebrow and said, "I'm not old enough to drink alcohol yet. ”

Li Du smiled: "Then you must have drunk it, if you don't mind, you can also have a drink with me tonight." ”

He then walked back with a transparent long-necked wine bottle and two small wine glasses, placed one in front of Hugo, and poured most of the glass for him.

I saw that the wine sank into a transparent color close to ice water, and the wisps of wine fragrance wafted faintly, Hugo picked up the cup and watched for a moment, and then took a sip gently, and instantly left a fragrant mouth, and a warm and soft line ran through Hugo's body.

"Good wine. Hugo sighed with a sigh of admiration.

Li Du took a sip rather proudly and said: "This kind of wine can only be drunk here in this world, it is not an existing type of wine, but I have developed and brewed it myself, and I told you that there is a small brewing research center in the Holy Hall. ”

Hugo smiled and shook his head when he heard this, with an incredible look on his face.

"Does it feel ridiculous?" asked Li Du.

Hugo thought for a moment and said, "It's not ridiculous, I just think... Unthinkable. ”

Li Du smiled: "It is true that the world always thinks that the daily work of the chief knights of the Templar is to train the army, study tactics, build a defense system, and dedicate themselves to the country every moment, but in fact, I still have a lot of free time. ”

Hugo shrugged his shoulders and said, "So I have a big scoop now." ”

Li Du said meaningfully: "It's a pity that although your exclusive revelations are accurate, not many people will believe them." ”

Hugo naturally understood the meaning of Li Du's words, and he shook his head and said: "Belief has always been a matter of choice. Truth is often more volatile than falsehood. ”

There is always only one truth, but there are many afterimages that he reflects, and people often do not choose to explore these afterimages themselves, but to obtain them from the mouths of others. And in the different afterimages given by different people, people will further sift through them, and they will choose the information they want to believe and insist on it, and this insistence often continues when the truth is completely revealed. ”

Li Du nodded, and then swallowed the residual wine in his mouth.

"With your remarks, you are also qualified to drink. ”

Hugo was not diverted by Li Du's words, he looked at Li Du seriously and said, "What do you think of the truth?"

Li Du said: "I am curious and skeptical about the truth, and at the same time, I don't care about the truth. ”

Li Du's words made Hugo stunned, but Li Du remained indifferent and said: "It is true that your mental age is beyond your peers, but you are still too stubborn and paranoid in some attitudes. ”

"The truth you tell the whole world is just your truth, you think that there is only one truth in the world, and the rest are remnants, but have you ever wondered why anyone would choose those remnants? ”

"At the time of the East Island incident, everyone including the waiters in the café knew that the cause of the incident was definitely not simple, but in the end, this earth-shattering human disaster was suppressed, and even many people forgot about it for ten years, so why?"

"Man is a creature that lives in the present, whatever it has in the past, whether it is pride or humiliation, it will abandon it without some security. The so-called honor is often not worth mentioning in the face of the biological desire to survive. ”

"The Dongdao incident is tragic, but the living are still alive, and the dead cannot be resurrected, in this case, what would you choose as an outsider? Haha, it doesn't matter what you choose, the most important thing is that you want to live now. ”

Hugo's face changed when he heard this, but he finally nodded and said, "So you chose an afterimage." ”

Li Du said: "I have to say that the handling of this incident is the most tacit understanding among all parties in Tsukishima for many years, there is no side, no dispute, and there is not even a superfluous script, everyone chooses a 'truth'." It may seem a little lame, but I have to admit that the consequences of it are beneficial to the whole of Tsukishima. ”

Hugo frowned, and just as he was about to refute, Li Du waved his hand to interrupt Hugo: "I know what you want to say, but I said that it is your truth, I have never accused you of revenge, or even stopped your revenge." So I'm too lazy to listen to your understanding and choice of the truth. ”

Hugo had to take a deep breath and then suppressed the words that came to his lips.

Li Du said: "When I first learned your identity, I could guess what you wanted to do, but I didn't expect you to become a blasphemous and blow the already calm waters into a mess. ”

Hugo raised his eyebrows and said, "So you still regret not killing me?"

Li Du shook his head and said: "This is that you have paranoia of being killed, I said that even if I had to do it all over again, I would still not kill you, even if I would know in advance what was going to happen now." ”

As he spoke, Li Du put down the wine glass in his hand, and then turned his gaze to the burning fireplace.

After a long time, Li Du suddenly said faintly: "Na, have you ever felt this way, this world is actually... It's boring. ”

Hugo said: "Do you want to talk to me about boring topics? I'm really sorry, since I was born, I have experienced conspiracy and persecution every day, and I need to survive in that environment, so I have to fight for survival every moment, so... There is never time to think about this boring question. ”

Li Du laughed unconsciously when he heard this, and then said: "Hearing you say this, I suddenly felt a little... I envy you. ”

"Envy me?" Hugo seemed to hear the funniest joke in the world, and his face showed a look that he didn't know how to behave.

"Although your life is full of ups and downs, you have to admit that everything is full and wonderful. ”

Hugo said coldly: "I don't think so. ”

Li Du shook his head with a smile and said, "No offense, maybe my thoughts are too dramatic, but personally, I envy your life." ”

Hugo shook his head in disbelief, this time it was even more incredible than knowing that Li Du was making wine.

Li Du said generously: "Maybe this is the siege of the city, the people outside the city want to go in, and the people inside the city want to come out." Then Li Du said to Hugo: "Do you know my background?"

Hugo said: "I have only read information about you on the Internet. ”

Li Du smiled, he naturally understood that Hugo meant that Hua Lian had not told him anything about himself.

"That's enough. Li Du nodded, and then there was an extra contemplation in his eyes, as if he was caught in a memory.

"Ever since I was a child, I found the world and its people boring, and every morning I was told by my mother to eat the same breakfast, wear a few clothes, ride in my father's car to the same school, and study in front of the same classmates every day. ”

"The only thing that gave me pleasure at that time was reading different books, and the charm of knowledge was its diversity, which was always full of novelty and intoxicating. ”

"But other than that, I still feel that life is boring, the repetition of three meals a day, the repetition of excretory sleep, human beings are always dictated by these basic physiological desires, but they can be satisfied with the status quo and indulge in it. Speaking of this, Li Du frowned slightly and said to Hugo: "Have you ever felt like this?"

Hugo thought for a moment and said, "I did feel that eating and sleeping were a little boring, and now that I have the ability to be a blasphemer, this need has been avoided to a certain extent. ”

"You're a lucky man. Li Du said with heartfelt emotion, as if he was excited to suddenly meet someone who had the same feelings as himself, and his tone became a little intense.

"That's how I began to hate life more and more, but I wasn't misanthropic, and I didn't have any thoughts of suicide. After all, I know very well that human beings die for much longer than they live, and eternal death is the most boring in my eyes. Then in my limited life, I naturally want to live a happier life. ”

Hugo said: "What a chaotic contradiction. ”

Li Du said: "Perhaps, people are more chaotic and disorderly than the universe. ”

He continued: "As I grew older, I began to feel dissatisfied with my current life, and even though the acquisition of knowledge was endless, the fixed process of learning began to make me feel bored. I decided to leave my desk and go outside to see the world, so I chose to join the military. ”

"Soon the military model also made me feel bored, fixed training, fixed life, at that time I felt that I was not a life with a personality, but just a cog on a machine. ”

"In order to get out of this cogwheel life, I began to train myself more actively and hard, and I kept applying for various tasks. In the eyes of others, I was either a madman or a person who would stop at nothing to climb up. But in reality, I'm just trying to pass the boring life. ”

"Eventually, I got my wish, and my performance in various missions led me to the promotion, and I was exposed to combat mechs at that time, hehe, I have to admit that life was quite interesting for me at that time. ”

"Compared to you, my experience can be said to have been smooth sailing, for which I really want to thank God for his favor of me. I never thought about getting to where I am today, and when I think back on the journey, maybe what really drives me is just my disgust with boredom, and sitting in this position may be out of a kind of passivity that goes with the flow. ”

Hugo stared at Li Du, and sighed at the life of this big man in the world in front of him, and he really didn't know what to say for a while, if Li Du's perception was known to the world, then what kind of expression would the world show?

Li Du said: "I have been walking along the way, just thinking about driving away the boredom in my heart, but in fact, I have really ignored some things. ”

"When I entered the Templar, I became distant, which caused a lot of resentment, and after I became the Templar Chief, I was jealous of Qiu Jianlin because I was not from Tianying. A lot of people don't like me, and I don't like them. The Templar has gradually embarked on a path of solitude under my unintentional control, but I am not resistant to hating it, and the current Templar can be said to be in a state that I am very satisfied with. ”

Hugo couldn't help but take a long breath when he heard this, and then he smiled: "Your experience must be just as wonderful if it were written into a book, and if I were to come and name it, it would be called..."The Miracle of Boredom." ”

Li Du smiled when he heard this: "It's a good thunder name, but maybe it's accurate." ”

Hugo looked at Li Du and narrowed his eyes slightly, and after Li Du reviewed this past, Hugo began to have a deeper understanding of the middle-aged man in front of him.

Hugo paused and then said, "Well, if I'm not mistaken, you're bored again." ”

Li Du immediately laughed when he heard this: "Do you see it like this?"

Hugo nodded and said, "According to the normal development logic of things, it should be like this. ”

"Although you have reached the pinnacle of all your careers now, the so-called extreme of things must be reversed. After the happiest day, the future life of a person is bound to go downhill, and you are in this state now, which means that you are not satisfied with the current life. ”

"Hahahaha..." Li Du burst out a series of laughs, then looked at Hugo with a smile in his eyes, and motioned for Hugo to continue.

Hugo pondered for a moment, and then his face began to become a little solemn.

"It's scary, you want to make the world interesting. ”
