Being alive is one of the most basic human desires and rights, but sometimes, this most basic desire and right is also an unattainable luxury.

Jasmine's eyelashes trembled a little when she heard Hugo's words, and Hugo's expression was relatively indifferent, as if everything he told had happened to someone else.

"I was born in a research institute on the East Island since I was a child, and I don't remember the name of it anymore, but all my childhood memories come from there, and I had almost no contact with the so-called outside world, and I thought that the Ferris wheel was only a fairy tale. ”

"However, even then, when the day of destruction of the East Island approached, my brain was damaged for some reason, and all memories of the past were forgotten. At that time, except for some basic instincts for language, I was almost like a blank sheet of paper. ”

"For the next seven years, I lived in this ruin, battled and watched my friends lose their lives one by one, and I didn't have time to feel the grief because I had to find a way to survive. ”

"The reasons for my departure from the East Island were a bit complicated, but when that moment came, I wasn't really prepared, and no one could give me extra time and opportunity. I could only make a decision at that moment, and reality didn't allow me to make a second decision. ”

"When I actually left this dead city, I didn't feel relieved or relieved, but I was very scared in my heart. No matter what pain and tears this land left me, I never thought of leaving it, I only thought that I would be born, fight, and die here. ”

I understand what Hugo said about Jasmine, and if I am Hugo, I may not be able to make any other choice, and the environment here can be said to have completely killed Hugo's thoughts at that time.

Speaking of this, Hugo smiled: "Now it seems that it is not the body that binds human beings, but the mind and soul. ”

Jasmine said, "It seems that this hellish place has really taught you a lot of things. ”

Hugo said: "Perhaps, I always thought that demons had to be more intelligent than angels, otherwise it would be difficult to survive in such a 'competitive' environment. ”

Speaking of this, Hugo smiled: "But then again, I, a demon who came out of hell, have really endured a lot of difficulties after entering the paradise in the urban area. ”

"A lot of knowledge, legal codes, interpersonal communication, everything has to be studied. At the same time, I also need to master some survival habits and skills of the people of the moment. Anyway, when I first arrived in the metropolitan area, I didn't feel any freedom, but I felt like I was in a cage. ”

Jasmine said: "Civilized society is destined to be bound by countless rules and regulations, and rules and systems are the real skeleton. ”

Hugo smiled: "Since human beings in civilized societies always boast of their own civilization and self-control, why do they need so many laws?"

Jasmine frowned and said, "Sophistry!"

Hugo's smile deepened a little and said, "You have to admit that human beings can't control their desires on their own, or... Animality. ”

Jasmine said coldly, "I can't see that you're still an anthropologist. ”

Hugo said: "Everyone can become a Buddha, everyone can become holy." Then it's not that hard to become an anthropologist. ”

Jasmine said, "Since we talk about desire and animal nature, what about you new humans?"

Hugo said: "The reason why the capable person is called a new human means that it has not essentially shed its human characteristics, doesn't it?"

Jasmine was choked by Hugo's words, she was not a good argument, and at this moment she had no advantage in arguing with Hugo, the "old fritter" who was always arguing about the problems between humans and blasphemers.

Seeing that Jasmine was quite dissatisfied because of her deflatedness, Hugo laughed, and I have to say that Jasmine's appearance at this moment is really cute.

Hugo said: "It's not that I deliberately changed the concept, the situation in Tsukishima is quite similar to the French Revolution at the beginning, and several forces are fighting for their different ideas. ”

"The current struggles seem to be fought to the death, but one day they will enter some equilibrium, and that will be the time for peace. ”

Jasmine said: "History has proved that most of the bloodshed of the French Revolution was senseless, and the current war is not the same. ”

Hugo said: "The outbreak of the French Revolution may have been motivated by certain ideas and interests, which is very similar to the situation in Tsukishima today. But the end of the French Revolution also followed the rules of history, and the end of Tsukishima was bound to be so. ”

Jasmine said: "It seems that you are not only an anthropologist, but also a historian. ”

Hugo smiled: "I'm honored." ”

Jasmine was extremely speechless by Hugo's shameless appearance, but no matter what topic theory she started from, she was not Hugo's opponent.

Fortunately, Hugo did not dwell on Jasmine on this point, and continued: "The reason why I make this analogy is because there are similarities between the two, perhaps in different forms, but there are many similarities in the direction of their thinking. ”

Jasmine said, "Then what are you? Napoleon?"

Hugo said: "Is there such an ambitious Napoleon in this world?"

Jasmine shook her head and said, "Whatever Napoleon did, he will be forgiven by the world." There will be countless people who regard him as a heroic idol. But you..."

"Are those important to Napoleon?" asked Hugo suddenly. Jasmine fell silent when she heard this.

Hugo chuckled: "Since I chose to embark on this path, I never thought that I would become famous, a ruler, or a nobleman. So I don't care if I'm an angel or a demon in the eyes of the world. ”

"Humanity will never like a blasphemer, but no matter how close they may be, they will eventually coexist. ”

"Humanity believes that it can use the power it has accumulated over countless years to fight against the Desecrate and achieve absolute victory, and in fact humanity can win, especially since Celestial has developed a battle mech such as [Slaughter]. ”

"But it is absolutely impossible to completely eradicate the blasphemers as they did against smallpox. For the blasphemer, or the new humanity as mankind likes to call it, is only a part of humanity after all, and as long as humanity does not perish one day, it will exist forever. And that is an eternal hidden danger for human beings themselves. ”

Jasmine was completely speechless by Hugo's words, and although she was very resistant to what Hugo said, she also knew that Hugo's words were correct.

The new human being is the "cancer cell" in the large human body, and everything is calm when it is not attacking. And once it becomes "cancerous", the consequences are irreversible. The countless potential cancer cells in the "human body" cannot be completely eradicated by manpower.

Hugo stared into the distance and said coldly: "The demon Lucifer was really an angel in the kingdom of heaven, and the blasphemer was born because of humans. ”

After that, Hugo smiled at Jasmine, "Aren't you curious about how the Blasphemy was born?"

…

A dim glow emanated from the pale lime lampshade, and a tall wine glass not far from it contained amber wine, which shone golden in such a light environment.

Mr. Hua holds a very retro telephone in his hand, a slender and delicate earpiece, and a dial dial printed with Roman numerals, all of which make him show a bit of ancient aristocratic temperament.

Mr. Hua held the earpiece in his hand, his eyes were fixed on the dial and he was silent for a long time without dialing the number, and his face was unprecedentedly heavy.

Mr. Hua took a sip from his golden glass, and then turned the dial dial as if he were using the strength of wine.

As a few waiting hustles sounded, a cold voice rang out.

"Hey. ”

Mr. Hua paused, and then said, "It's me." ”

"I know. The voice on the other end of the phone responded.

Then the two fell silent for a moment.

"Hugo borrowed something from me. Mr. Hua said.

There was silence on the other end of the phone, although there was no follow-up question, but it was obvious that he was waiting for Mr. Hua's follow-up answer.

"A plane ticket to the East Island. ”

After a while, a cold voice said, "You only told me about this now, it's good." ”

Mr. Hua sighed and said, "I'm sorry Hua Lian, I just don't want you to be involved in this. ”

The voice of the Chinese Mercy on the phone was as calm as a lake.

"Do you think I can get out of these things?" After a pause, Hua said pitifully, "What you did will only sink me deeper." ”

The beard on Mr. Hua's lips trembled a few times, and then said, "Little mercy, don't be obsessed anymore." Maybe the world can't understand you, but I know what's going on in your head and what your obsessions are. Listen to your uncle's advice and put it down. ”

There was only infinite silence on the other end of the line.

At this time, Mr. Hua said angrily: "Did you take Hugo out of the East Island in the first place just to see what it is today? Is this shattered Moon Island what you want? Or who is coercing you? Li Du?"

Hua Lian said: "Although the knight chief is strict, he has never felt sorry for me, and this is also a credit to my father. ”

Mr. Hua said, "Your father must not want to see you come to this point!"

Hua said pitifully: "It's a pity that my father is dead, and no one can bring Morata back to life." ”

"Good night, uncle. Hua Lian was the first to interrupt the communication, and Mr. Kuliu Hua sat alone in a large and spacious room.

With a crisp cracking sound, the golden wine burst open with the fragments of the glass, glowing in the dim light.

…

Hugo did not tell Jasmine the true cause of the East Island Destruction Day and the origin of the Blasphemer's birth, Hugo only told Jasmine that she would soon know these things.

When the two returned to the dilapidated villa, Xia Ran had already packed up an open space that could accommodate the sleeping bags of the four of them, and when Hugo entered, the gray-faced Xia Ran glared at Hugo fiercely.

Hugo grinned, "It's hard work." Xia Ran rolled his eyes and said, "Serve the people." ”

Hugo ignored Xia Ran's ridicule and dissatisfaction, and just said calmly: "Everyone have a good rest, we have more important things to do tomorrow." When she said this, Jasmine's eyes fell on Hugo, and although Thangka was also very curious about what Hugo said, he didn't say anything to Hugo, but just slipped into his sleeping bag.

Thangka has made an "example", Xia Ran is naturally not far behind, and he also obeys the arrangement and lies down.

Jasmine questioned everything, but even she couldn't force Hugo to ask what was in his mind, and she understood that although Hugo felt indebted to herself and had feelings for herself, these did not break Hugo's "principles". ”

Just when Hugo was about to rest, the PMT in his arms suddenly sent a reminder, but saw that it was a string of numbers like a code, and when Hugo read this string of numbers repeatedly, a sincere sadness appeared on his face.

It's time to come.

…

Hugo lay on the dusty couch, his eyes staring at the pitch-black ceiling.

The dense darkness is like a black hole in the universe, squeezing and pulling Hugo's body and mind, and the pain lasts forever.

In the darkness, Tsuneyoshi touched back, his footsteps stumbling, and Hugo could smell the wine on him from a long distance. Obviously, it was not only Tsuneyoshi's concealment that made Hugo angry, but Tsuneyoshi was also dissatisfied with Hugo's performance answer. Both sides have caused considerable harm to the other in these circumstances.

A loud snoring sounded, and Chang Ji entered the dream very quickly because of the effect of alcohol, and he admired Hugo for this, knowing that he was not as "open-minded" as Chang Ji. ”

In the original sin, there was no intersection between Chang Ji and Hugo, and if the world had not changed, the relationship between the two might not have changed much.

But all of the above is hypothetical.

The destruction of original sin "implicated" the two of them so strongly that no matter how strange or even reluctant they are to each other, they have no choice.

And the mutual dependence between the two over the years has also allowed the two to form a deep friendship, which may not be revealed in daily life. But when it is threatened, its power and magnitude are revealed.

When Hugo learned that Changji's body was no longer enough to support many years, the indescribable sorrow had been carried out in his heart, and it was like a dull knife constantly tearing his body.

Why?!

In the darkness, Hugo's eyes were filled with fiery fury.

From original sin to now, Hugo's friends have left one after another. The voices and smiles of many people began to dim in Hugo's mind, Hugo did not know how many years he would forget them, Hugo only knew that he was about to add another name to his list.

Anger tends Hugo's power surged all over his body, his palms clenched into fists, and the green tendons on the back of his fists burst out, but the infinite brute force in his body had no place to play, and it was impossible to study Changji's life by relying on it.

Thinking of this, Hugo's body seemed to be hollowed out in an instant, and he had no energy.
