Chapter 42: The Final Clue

Hugo's words surprised Natsu Ran, and even Akita on the side stared at Hugo.

"You... Is this throwing an olive branch at me?" asked Xia Ran suspiciously.

"Of course you can think so. Hugo said indifferently.

"Uh... Why?" said Xia Ran with some unconfidence.

"Your strength. Hugo's fingers tapped twice on the armrest of the chair.

"To be honest, I didn't expect that there would be a character like you in the Wandering Street, your strength is first-class even in what I have seen, and it is a pity that such a character is buried in such a ghost place. ”

Xia Ran frowned and said, "I know my abilities, the reason why I didn't participate in the various organizations in the Stream Street is just because I don't like that way of doing things..."

"I understand. Hugo happily interrupted Xia Ran's words, and then leaned forward and said, "But I know better what you think in your heart, and I guess I don't want to be in the same league with those people, and more importantly, those things can't arouse your interest." ”

Xia Ran's body shook slightly when he heard this, as if his sensitive heart had been exposed by others.

Hugo didn't give Xia Ran a chance to breathe, and continued: "You know that with your ability, you are a guest everywhere, and it is very simple to eat a bowl of rice comfortably, but it is just a tool for others, and that is not what you want." ”

Xia Ran pursed her lips.

Hugo said: "To be honest, I admire you, not only for the hacking technology that allows you to break the limitations of Skynet, but more importantly, for your ability to analyze things, not to stop on the surface of things, and to see the essential truth behind them." I guess you don't care to use this kind of ability on the fight of the underworld forces. ”

"Since you are so curious about the incident at Laser Stadium, you should also know about what is happening on Moon Island today, and I can tell you that a storm is coming. ”

Hearing this, Xia Ran's eyes began to meet Hugo, and from his gaze, Hugo could see that Xia Ran also knew something about the Battle of the Templars.

Hugo said: "You should know what the butterfly effect is, there are almost no things in this world that are completely independent, as for those major events, their impact is greater, and the impact on other events is longer, for example, the occurrence of the laser stadium incident is purely accidental?"

Xia Ran's bearded mouth moved for a moment and said, "You seem to have put forward a very tempting condition. ”

What Hugo just said was not to attract Xia Ran with things, but to show Xia Ran that he was very clear about the truth of these things, and that Hugo's olive branch to Xia Ran was to satisfy his strong thirst for knowledge.

Hugo knew very well that a person of great talent could not be willing to live forever in this chaotic street, and perhaps some difficulties of the moment forced them to go on, but once they had some kind of opportunity, they would never let it go.

In adversity, people need the help of nobles, and at this moment, Hugo has to be a noble man in Xia Dye's fate.

After Hugo pointed out his intentions, Xia Ran began to calm down more, and the expression of excitement and yearning just now gradually faded, and it could be seen from his eyes that he was in the midst of a stalemate of thoughts.

Seeing this, Hugo did not continue to do ideological work for him, but slowly got up and left his seat.

"I think that's the end of our conversation for today, and it's been a fun experience with some twists and turns, at least for us. ”

"Let him stay tonight, I said I just wanted to know something simple, and I won't do anything to you. ”

"As for whether you would like to leave Drift Street with me, it is entirely up to you to do so, and we will stay in Drift Street for two days, during which time you can come to me at any time, and I think you have a way to find me. ”

Xia Ran looked at Hugo quietly, and the look in his eyes was still uncertain.

"Well, farewell, bother. With that, Hugo motioned for Akita to leave with him.

When the two of them were about to walk past the tattered open power grid, Xia Ran suddenly said, "What's your name?"

Hugo smiled indifferently and said, "The world calls me Pulsatilla, and my name is Hugo." ”

...

When Hugo and Akita walked out of the building, Akita couldn't help but look up at the window of Natsuzome's room.

"You're a lot like you're going to ask for him. ”

Hugo smiled bitterly: "What you said is really insensitive, but yes, I need his help." ”

Akita nodded and said, "He is indeed a talent. ”

Hugo said: "Yes, I didn't expect there to be such a character in the flowing street, I just thought that there would only be such heroes like Lao Ou and Mr. Du here, but now it seems that it is really hidden in the city!"

Akita said: "Our cognitive errors about the flow street are no longer a star, and we don't care about these anymore. ”

Hugo shook his head slightly and said, "Not only that, but we also misread another thing..."

Akita looked at Hugo questioningly.

“... Tsukishima!" Hugo gave the answer.

Akita thought about it and reflected the reason for this, the bigger the gap in the impression of the flowing street, the more Tsukishima... Or rather, the more problems the Tsukishima government has.

As a symbol of world peace and freedom, the Tsukishima government has always adhered to an open and transparent administrative strategy, but the current facts show that the actual actions and administrative objectives of the Tsukishima government are not gentle, which shows that it has the impression of being two-faced.

From another point of view, it would be nothing if the Tsukishima government lied only about the flow of the streets, but is it just a lie?

Hugo said: "I don't understand politics, and I don't want to get involved, but now we seem to be inevitably involved." ”

Akita said: "Tonight's operation is completely fruitless, if that summer dye doesn't leave with us, it can be said that the bamboo basket is empty." ”

Hugo smiled: "Not necessarily, if we don't do anything, then even these things are completely unclear at the moment, and besides, I believe that Xia Ran will definitely leave us!"

Akita shrugged his shoulders and said, "Okay, good, I believe in you." But what do we do next?"

Hugo pondered for a moment and then said, "Speaking of which, I didn't get any information I wanted when I came to Xia Ran, but I think there is still a small breakthrough in our hands. ”

Akita was a little anxious by Hugo's pretentious appearance, urging Hugo to speak out quickly.

Hugo said, "Tonight we will go back to the old gull, have a good meal and supper there, and then have a good talk with her." ”
