Mr. Hua and Hugo sat in the noisy casino, fiddling with the slot machine in front of them in silence, and after a brief chat, they fell into silence, as if they only had gambling games in their eyes.

In this way, the time passed in a noisy silence, and finally the balance of the two of them was already insufficient in their accounts, and Hugo turned to look at Mr. Hua and said, "It seems that Lady Luck does not like you and me." ”

Mr. Hua also smiled slightly: "This also shows that neither of you and I rely on luck to win." ”

Hugo smiled: "That's a good reason, I like it." ”

Mr. Hua said: "Now that I am thirsty and distraught, let me see the legendary best dried martini." Hugo got up with a smile and said, "Let's go now." ”

Mr. Hua followed Hugo through the lobby of the casino to the back of the casino, and finally stopped in front of a door.

At the door stood a tall caretaker, whose gaze swept over Hugo's face, apparently recognizing Hugo, and did not stop them, but pushed the door and walked in.

The inner room turned out to be a more elaborately decorated mini-bar, the whole bar is no more than 100 square meters, but the air is filled with a faint smoky aroma, which only makes people think that this is the secret club of the French aristocracy.

Hugo turned to Mr. Hua and said, "Have you ever thought that there would be such a beautiful presence in the middle of the street? A few months ago I thought it was just a mess, and many people were forced to pick up garbage for food." ”

Mr. Hua said: "I'm not so simple, I still know some truths about Liujie. Hugo shrugged his shoulders and said, "But neither you nor Hua Lian thought that I had said this. ”

"Because we all don't think it's necessary. ”

Hugo smiled, "Do you still think so?" As he spoke, the two of them were already sitting at the bar counter in the bar.

At this time, there was only one elderly bartender in the bar except for Hugo, and I don't know if there were no customers at this time or because Hugo deliberately cleared the room, in short, this quiet atmosphere is very suitable for talking about things.

The old bartender walked up to the two and nodded to them.

Hugo said: "Two glasses of dry martini, thank you." ”

The old bartender nodded and began to prepare, and soon two glasses of clear and transparent dry martini were pushed in front of the two, and then the old bartender retreated very interestingly.

Mr. Hua took a sip of the wine glass and couldn't help but say "um", then looked at the wine glass in his hand and said, "The taste is very good, it seems that I underestimated the street before." ”

Hugo laughed: "Who in the metropolitan area has no misunderstanding of the street?" Then he took a sip.

Mr. Hua took another sip and put the wine glass on the bar, and then said to Hugo: "You seem to like it very much, why are you going to stay here for a while?"

Hugo smiled: "I don't belong here, and this is not where I belong." And even if I wanted to stay here, many people would never say yes. I'm just here to do something, and when it's over, I'll go back to the metropolitan area. ”

Mr. Hua nodded and said, "It's a good thing that you don't go back now, countless forces have already come to find you, although I know that you are not afraid of them, but it is a good strategy to avoid the edge for the time being." ”

Hugo smiled: "I can now imagine their hideous appearance, I believe that if I fall into their hands, they will definitely break me into pieces at the first time, and even give me enough time for interrogation." ”

Mr. Hua said: "This is to blame for your behavior is too radical, now you have become synonymous with the new human race in the hearts of the world, and it must be a milestone for the Tsukishima official to get rid of you." ”

Hugo said, "What's the use of killing me? ”

Mr. Hua shrugged his shoulders and said, "Who knows?"

Hugo looked at Mr. Hua and said, "Many people know about it. ”

Mr. Hua said again: "Who cares?"

Hugo laughed loudly and said, "Indeed, not many people care. ”

Mr. Hua said: "I came to Liujie this time, firstly, to see your situation, and on the other hand, I also want to admonish you. I know there are a lot of things you can't let go of and let go, but don't overdo it either. Now you have drawn countless eyes and hatred to yourself. If I had known earlier that you were going to behave in such a crazy way, I would never have assisted you in going to the East Island to make such a fool of yourself. ”

Hugo grinned when he heard this: "What's nonsense, I know that Mr. Hua is the most righteous to me." Otherwise, how would I invite you to drink? You know, I never invite anyone to drink. ”

Mr. Hua said: "If you don't drink the wine that fights for your life." ”

Hugo waved his hand and said: "The matter is not as serious as you think, although countless people hate me to the core, but now I am also in the light, and many people will think about it in advance before touching me." ”

Mr. Hua said: "Do you expect everyone to be a righteous man and a gentleman? As the saying goes, guns are easy to dodge and arrows are difficult to defend against, and the real danger often does not come from your front. ”

Hugo smiled: "There is already an abyss behind me, if they want to sneak up on me, they must first enter the abyss." ”

Mr. Hua also felt a little helpless about Hugo's cynical attitude, and he shook his head helplessly, and then drank all the wine in his cup.

"It's hard to persuade with good words... Phew, forget it, you better do it yourself, and think about what I said to you during this time. ”

Hugo said: "I will always remember your persuasion to me. Then he said to Mr. Hua: "Actually, I contacted you this time and bothered you to come to Liujie to ask for something. ”

Mr. Hua said: "I really can't imagine that our famous Mr. Pulsatilla would say the words of request, do I have the right to refuse?"

Hugo smiled: "Of course there is, you can refuse anything." ”

Mr. Hua looked sideways at Hugo, and then said, "What's the matter?"

Hugo took a deep breath and shrugged his shoulders and said, "You call me a pulsatilla, um... Actually, this nickname is not very suitable for me now, because it is difficult for me to 'fly' now, and my wings have always been... Broken. ”

Mr. Hua was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then his eyes suddenly widened to reveal a look of disbelief, and Hugo had already rolled up the sleeve on his left arm at this time, revealing the "arm" hidden under the sleeve.

The silver steel metal reflects a dazzling light under the light in the bar, and the finely crafted energy pipes are arranged in an orderly and delicate manner under the steel metal frame, and the shimmering light in the tubes shows the unparalleled beauty of technology.

However, Mr. Hua was not intoxicated by this beautiful scene, and his face was full of horror.

Hugo's face was full of lightheartedness, and he smiled self-deprecatingly: "I never thought that I would be fitted with such a small thing on my body, although its performance is very good, but I still feel very uncomfortable, but..."

"What the hell is going on!"

Before Hugo could finish speaking, Mr. Hua had already interrupted Hugo's words with a loud yell, and his whole body fell into a state of anger and madness.

"Well, sir, relax, you're in a bit of a mood right now..."

"What the hell is going on, tell me!" Mr. Hua's expression became hideous, and he wanted to continue looking at Hugo's left arm, but the fear in his heart made him evade.

"Something unexpected happened, and that made me lose it..."

"How is this possible, how... Don't you have the ability to heal yourself? Why are you doing this?"

Hugo said calmly: "The ability to heal itself is also limited, and now it seems that it does not include organizational rebirth. ”

Mr. Hua sat there paralyzed, and at this moment, he was like a father who saw his child being hurt and was powerless, and the whole person fell into a state of depression.

Hugo said: "You don't have to worry too much, it's not what I want to see, but overall it's not too bad. It's better to lose your arm than to lose your life. ”

Mr. Hua was silent for a long time before finally muttering, "Is it caused by the military?"

Hugo shook his head and said, "Although the special attack team is coming quickly, it is still relatively easy to deal with, and there are other people who cause this result." ”

Mr. Hua said, "Is it a blasphemer?" Hugo nodded.

Mr. Hua took a long breath, then closed his eyes, and thought for a moment before opening his eyes: "Actually, I also expected the arrival of this day, in my expectation, your fate will be more serious than this, but... When this moment really came, I still couldn't accept it. ”

Mr. Hua's solemn expression in the past has now become completely sad, and his brow has completely wrinkled into a knot.

Hugo said: "It is irreversible, all I can do is adapt to this broken body." ”

"I came to Drift Street first to make up for it, and even if this arm is not as big as it used to be, I can't let more people know about my injury for the time being. Now, in the entire Tsukishima Island, only the Flowing Street can be touched by the war wreckage. I had met some acquaintances here before, so it was a smooth renewal. ”

After that, Hugo raised his left arm, and under his control, the mechanical palm swung very flexibly, and then he also snapped his fingers, but this snap of his fingers sounded more rhythmic with a few points of metal.

"It's just that the fly in the ointment is that the war wreckage in the street is only a sub-military-level regrettable product, at best, it is only A-class goods, and the real S-level super-military level products do not have it. However, this steel-framed product may not be able to cope with the battle I will face later, so I hope that Mr. Pinch can find a way to prepare me with a better arm. ”

Mr. Hua sighed lightly after hearing this, and then said, "The problem of the prosthetic arm is not a problem, it's just... Hugo, have you never considered leaving?"

Hugo smiled faintly and said, "Where does Mr. Leave?"

Mr. Hua shook his head and said, "There is nothing exact, but as long as you get out of here." Leave the metropolitan area, leave the flow street, leave the moon island. The world is much bigger than you think, and I can arrange for you to go to the rest of the world and hide until it's over..."

Hugo said: "If I leave, then things here will never end." And sir, do you think I did something wrong, otherwise why would I leave?"

Mr. Hua shook his head heavily and said, "You didn't do anything wrong, it's just... It's just that I don't want to see you hurt anymore. ”

Hugo said calmly: "This injury is nothing, and dodging is not an effective means, and cruel fate will never befall you because you don't provoke it." ”

Then Hugo looked at Mr. Hua and said, "Have you ever done anything unreasonable, and how does the world treat you, your wife and daughter?"

When he heard the last sentence, Mr. Hua's face turned pale, and he shook his head vigorously and said, "Don't mention them again..."

"Why? Will your escape be able to get rid of the blow of their death on you, and will your escape make you forget the destruction day of the East Island?"

Mr. Hua looked at Hugo angrily, but he did not say anything, because every word Hugo said hit his heart.

The destruction day of the East Island has caused countless injuries to the world, Hugo is the victim, Hua Lian is the victim, Hitomi's family is the victim, and Mr. Hua is also the victim.

Ten years ago, Mr. Hua's wife and daughter were killed on a trip back to the East Island to visit relatives, and no one knows how they died, all he knows is that the three of them are forever separated from each other.

There are not only two people in the camp of Hugo and Hua Lian's alliance, and Mr. Hua is the third of them.

When Hua Lian is in the church and it is inconvenient to deal with some things, he will let Mr. Hua come forward to solve them. No one knew that Dr. Hua, who was famous in the entire metropolitan area, would be associated with the new humans, but it was precisely because of this that Hugo and Mr. Hua were created a very safe environment.

Hugo turned to Mr. Hua for help in the face of several difficult and difficult incidents, and each time Mr. Hua did not disappoint him.

And what Mr. Hua did was not entirely because of Hua Lian's entrustment, his purpose was simple and the same as Hugo's.

Revenge!

Mr. Hua also knows that there is an ulterior truth about the destruction of the East Island, and all he has to do is to help Hugo find out the truth, and then take revenge on the culprit.

It's just that in the process of revenge, Mr. Hua's heart began to change. Unlike Hua Lian and Hugo's firmness, Mr. Hua has always faintly yearned for light in his heart, and when he saw that this revenge operation began to be out of his control, more and more people began to be involved, and the entire Tsukishima Island fell into an unprecedented state of time and space, Mr. Hua unconsciously questioned the necessity of this behavior.
