Chapter 18: The Man with a Story
The so-called luxury first-class cabin on the Shadow Shuttle is just a relatively clean and small room, and the set inside is well organized, which is quite at odds with the ghostly style of the Shadow Shuttle.
Akita took the lead in taking off the fur coat that exuded an unpleasant smell on his body, sat down on the wooden chair and said, "If I wear this dress again, I'm afraid that the apartment administrator will ask me to forcibly move in the future." ”
Hugo smiled slightly: "It doesn't hurt to wear it for a while, maybe he will let us quickly integrate into the flow street." ”
Akita said: "If I had to use this method, then I would never be integrated with the flow of streets for the rest of my life." ”
Hugo said: "Actually, the street may not be what you imagined, I have seen people born in the street, compared to us, they are just a little more wild." ”
The people who Hugo is referring to are the leeches and Tarzan encountered in the New Victorian era. The two encounters with Tarzan gave Hugo a wealth of combat experience, and the leech gave Hugo a key ring to leave the New Victorian era, although he still doesn't understand why, but it gave Hugo a different understanding of the street.
Just then, the door was pushed open, and a sailor walked in with a silver plate in his hand and placed it on the table. Toast and wine are served on a plate.
Akita said, "I thought there was only strong vodka here." ”
Hugo said: "I have always wanted to say that you are not of legal age to drink. ”
Akita poured more than half a glass of wine into a glass and took a full sip.
"There are so many things we do that break the law, and drinking alcohol is so trivial in comparison. ”
At this time, the old gull had already pushed the door and walked into the room.
At this time, the old gull had changed into a dark blue sailor coat, lined with a seemingly ordinary home clothes, no one could have imagined that a snake head who has been going back and forth between the streets and the city all the year round has such an ordinary side, just like a salaryman after work.
"Is it safe?" Akita said vaguely as he munched on his bread in the air.
The old gull nodded: "For the time being." Then he sat down on another wooden chair.
Hugo looked at the old gull and said, "Did you catch the inner ghost?"
The old gull was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Hugo with some surprise and admiration, he didn't expect that the young man in front of him couldn't help but have terrifying strength, and the reaction speed of his mind was also very fast.
However, when it came to this, the old gull had a bitter look on his face and shook his head.
Hugo pondered for a moment and then said, "What about the sailor who greeted us?"
In the whole course of the incident, the sailor who was the first to discover the anomaly but did not give everyone a clear warning in the first place was indeed the most suspicious.
The old gull shook his head and said, "I'm back, but it's definitely not him." The old gull's tone was full of confidence, and Hugo didn't know the relationship between the two of them, but since the old gull was so sure, there must be some truth in it.
Lao Ou poured two glasses of wine for Hugo and himself respectively, and then took the lead in raising a glass and said, "Tonight's matter, thanks to each other's help." ”
Hugo didn't mean to raise a glass, but smiled slightly: "In the end, it's all up to you." ”
The old gull was not angry at Hugo's indifference, but drank the wine in his glass, put down the quilt and wiped his mouth, the old gull's eyes revealed a bright light.
"My old gull has been sailing for decades, and I think that even if my eyes are not the first in the world, I can see people in the middle of eight or nine, but today I still have my eyes. ”
Obviously, even if Hugo doesn't say that the old gull understands Hugo's identity. At that time, under that circumstance, normal people would never be able to get out of trouble in that way, and there was only one possibility!
However, for the sophisticated old gull, Hugo's new human identity did not frighten him, thinking that Hugo had already rescued him without showing any hostility. The second is that the old gull, who has a lot of experience in the rivers and lakes, even if it is a new human with powerful abilities, does not pay attention to it completely.
This tacit feeling of not breaking made Hugo very pleased.
Akita seemed to like to talk to the old gull very much, and smiled at the old gull: "Since we have helped you a lot just now, will you reduce the fare for this trip?"
The old gull shook his head resolutely and said, "Impossible, the first rule of the Shadow Shuttle is that you can't bargain." ”
Akita rolled his eyes and said, "What kind of bullshit rule is this!"
Hugo said: "Things are counted as a yard, and the escape just now is also our self-help, and the rest of the matter only needs to be done step by step." ”
Akita, who has always been looking forward to Hugo, naturally couldn't say anything more when he heard this, but just smacked his lips again, and the appearance of the two singing and harmonizing was quite tacit.
Lao Ou saw it in his eyes, and he didn't dare to underestimate the two, and at the same time, he also had vague worries about this trip.
After that, the journey will take about two hours, and after a short break, you will be on your way to your destination.
Akita said, "Are we that far from the 27th arrondissement?"
The old gull looked at Akita as if he was looking at an idiot and said, "Do you think we are the official through route? ”
Akita turned his head to look at Hugo and winked, as if to say that the other party really did not follow the rules of the smuggler.
Hugo nodded: "There is a lot of work along the way." ”
"You're welcome. The old gull answered and got up to leave.
There were only Hugo and Akita left in the room.
"Are we on a thief ship now?" Akita said with a wry smile.
Hugo said: "Your attitude is too negative, in a way, we can be regarded as a Raptors crossing the river." ”
Akita said: "I don't care if crossing the river is a dragon or a worm, the main purpose of our purpose this time is to find people, how much information do you have about the people you are looking for?"
Hugo shook his head and said, "Sayuri only told me one name. ”
Akita said: "So we're really going to look for a needle in a haystack. ”
Hugo said: "No, it is difficult to find people, but it should not be as difficult as imagined, and sometimes it is more convenient to act in such a dark place where there is no legal system." ”
Akita looked at Hugo and suddenly smiled: "The longer I get along with you, the more secrets I feel about you, it seems that you are a person with a story." ”
Listening to Akita's ridicule, Hugo couldn't help but laugh.
"Everyone's life is full of stories, in fact, there is no such thing as wonderful and ordinary, only joy and sorrow. ”
Akita subconsciously asked, "Which one do you belong to?"
Hugo said: "Unfortunately, I have more tragic stories. ”
