Chapter 18: The Third Man on the East Island
"Hey, it's really hard to say goodbye if you haven't seen you for a long time. ”
Hugo left the military granary for a long time, and Chang Ji had been standing on the top of the wilderness and looking thoughtfully at the place where Hugo had left, when another voice suddenly appeared out of thin air behind him. The most terrifying thing in this ghost town on the East Island is the voice of a person.
This teasing voice suddenly sounded from behind Chang Ji, which was really suffocating, but Chang Ji seemed to have expected it a long time ago, and there was no trace of surprise, but his eyes were still in the direction of Hugo's departure.
I only heard a faint sound of footsteps, and the person who suddenly spoke stepped closer to Chang Ji and said quietly: "Don't look at it, no matter how you look at it, it is impossible for him to come back." ”
Chang Ji snorted coldly, "Do you think I want him back?" He must have encountered something difficult when he came back this time, otherwise he would definitely want to involve this land again. ”
The voice continued, "That's true, as long as it's a Dongdao person who can escape after Doom Day, who wants to go back to this hellish place." ”
Chang Ji snorted coldly and said, "In that case, you don't have to force it to stay." ”
The voice said, "I'm not forced to stay, but to return, and like ZERO, I returned to the East Island to understand something." ”
Hearing this, Chang Ji said angrily: "Don't say the name of ZERO, you don't deserve it! If it weren't for you, he wouldn't be what he is today." ”
A giggle came, only to hear the voice laugh and say, "For me, if it weren't for the fact that I haven't been able to wake up to ZERO, you want him to be immersed in the deception of Dicard and Andrew for the rest of his life." If the original sin could persist until now, how many people would survive? ”
Chang Ji's face turned iron-blue, and he looked back at the person behind him.
However, the person behind him did not care about this, and continued to say leisurely: "ZERO, Hugo. Hehe, this kid is really an infatuated person. No matter how the name came about, it's always a dead man's name. After all these years, he will not forget? One day he will be killed by his infatuation. ”
Chang Ji said coldly: "Infatuation is much better than ingratitude." ”
"Tsk, that's not a good word to describe me, you must know that I have never failed anyone over the years, and everything I do is done according to my own wishes. I want the same statement. I'm still close to ZERO on this point, but we choose a different approach. ”
Chang Ji said with a slight smile: "ZERO just said that there are blasphemers who want to harm the world, so it's you?"
The man laughed heartily and said, "Then you really think highly of me, I don't have the strength to turn over the clouds and rain." TO BE PRECISE, ZERO IS NOT REFERRING TO INDIVIDUALS, BUT TO A GROUP OF PEOPLE WHOSE NAME IS TAROT, A LARGE GROUP OF DESECRATORS. ”
Chang Ji said: "Are you also a member of that organization?"
The person behind him shook his head and said, "No, I said that I only do what I want. After a pause, he said: "But it is not accurate to say that there is no relationship at all, TAROT has our support and dedication behind it." He bites the words so lightly that they don't sound obvious at first glance.
"Crazy!" Chang Ji scolded angrily.
"Crazy, haha, Tsuneyoshi, are you mistaken, I was not born crazy, but this crazy world has driven me crazy, since this is the case, then the world must also accept my crazy end. ”
Chang Ji shook his head helplessly and said, "What exactly do you want to do?"
The man said: "Nothing, I just wanted to see my old friends reminisce about the old days when I returned to Dongdao this time, but you are the only one who is alive." But coincidentally, ZERO is back this time, which surprised me. Well, it's not that it's not without gain, at least I know that he still has concerns. ”
Chang Ji frowned and said, "Do you know ZERO's current identity?"
The man pouted, "At least much earlier than you, and I was surprised when I first heard Hugo's name, and then I had a lot of speculation in my heart, and finally I met him." WELL, HOW CAN I TELL YOU? ZERO'S SILVER HAIR LOOKS A LITTLE MORE HANDSOME. ”
Listening to the man's self-care, Chang Ji's heart became colder and colder, and he realized, "Maybe he won't be able to escape this catastrophe tonight." ”
The man seemed to see through Chang Ji's mind and smiled: "Don't worry, I won't hurt you." If I wanted to be against ZERO, I would have done it a long time ago, and now all I'm doing is for the affection of the original sin. After a pause, the man continued: "Hugo advised you not to go, but I will take you to a place. ”
Chang Ji said coldly: "I won't go with you, whether it's Tsukishima or other countries, I won't go." ”
The man shrugged his shoulders and said, "Then you can't help it, if I am hospitable, you must obtain." However, the place I invite you to come to is neither Tsukishima nor other countries. The world I'm going to take you to is called New Victoria, and it's a whole new world. ”
...
In the night sky, Hugo swung his huge wings and flew quickly, and his eyes were like the night eyes of a falcon, constantly patrolling the surroundings.
The place he was going to wasn't too far from here, and he had found it in his memory that evening seven years ago.
There, Hugo finally found the weapon that could defeat Dicar, the Black Knife.
That's right, the third and most important stop of Hugo's trip to the East Island was to go to the welfare home, and in the dark, Hugo felt that the origin of everything came from there.
In the darkness of the night, there was no illumination, making it difficult for Hugo to discern the scenery, so he could only take advantage of the wide view above the sky, and at the same time use the stars and moonlight to find the familiar shape in his mind.
Suddenly, Hugo's eyes lit up, and he found a forest road in the sky, straight but separate from the others, as if leading to a luxurious manor or to some mysterious secluded.
Hugo's heart moved, and he spread his wings and flew along the forest road.
In less than a cup of tea, Hugo had stopped at the main entrance of a huge courtyard, which had become decaying and fragile after a long period of placement. The sign hanging on the right side of the gate was already more difficult to read, but Hugo knew that this was the place he was looking for.
This is my former home, where I have spent the most carefree life.
Hugo suddenly felt a sharp pain on both sides of his head, and his body was crooked and he almost didn't stand still. After a long period of relaxation, Hugo calmed down the surging surge in his heart. Push the rotten iron door and step inside.
