Chapter 31: Traces of Darkness
In many cases, force is a very effective weapon to solve problems.
It's too strong.
This is easy to understand and cannot be refuted.
At that time, Hugo did not know what kind of strength ZERO reached, but at that time, the Skeleton Boy and Xiaobai should not be his opponents.
Xiaobai said: "In this way, we returned to Nightingale, and those experiences in the East Island were like a lost dream, but this dream finally came to you." ”
From Xiaobai's tone, you can hear his deep sense of helplessness, but no matter how resistant he is in his heart, he can only face it.
Hugo said, "How did ZERO find you?" You must know that the East Island and the 23rd arrondissement can be said to be separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, and the two can be found when the two sides have never met, and the twists and turns are really unimaginable.
Xiaobai shook his head and said, "We are also very puzzled by this, you must know that even the original plan for me and the little wolf to return to the twenty-third district was not informed of the leader Thirteen. After that, I think it can only be that ZERO has some kind of strange power that can sense our existence. ”
It is even more surprising that one person can have such a wide range of abilities, and Hugo only finds it more and more difficult to see through ZERO.
Hugo said: "ZERO only found you to return you to Nightingale, but five years ago there were not a few blasphemers in the world, why would she be so 'enthusiastic' about you?"
Xiaobai shook his head to show that he didn't know, and then said: "When Thirteen was the leader, Nightingale was just a name, and we were not some kind of profane family with rules and disciplines, so it would be more appropriate to describe it by the word "group." ”
Hugo said: "So there were many people who escaped death in the East Island and were empowered by Thirteen?"
Xiaobai said: "It can't be said that it is a minority, but there were as many as seven or eight people living together at that time. ”
Hugo understood that these seven or eight men were the test subjects of Thirteen's original plan, and that according to the so-called free-range attitude, Thirteen had not originally intended to rule over these desecrators, and that Nightingale might just be a spiritual "refuge" for the fragmented survivors to live together, similar to the way Professor Simon led the children in the Welfare Institute.
But because of something, Thirteen ended up leaving the East Island, and all of Nightingale's clues were eventually obtained by ZERO, which is supposed to have happened around seven years ago. So what did Thirteen do after that?
Thirteen's soul has become one with Sayuri, and theoretically speaking, Thirteen left the East Island with Sayuri and made his debut in the entertainment industry through some method, and eventually became an idol singer.
Although the whole process seems simple, there are too many mysteries and confusions, and there are already many loopholes and shortcomings in the combination of what happened according to the timeline.
Xiaobai said: "After the Nightingale organization was reorganized, I also found something strange. ”
"Many of the members of the early days were not in the Order, and although Thirteen had been missing for so many years, it was difficult for her to save just a few people. ”
"As we've been together for a while, I have a hunch that the former blasphemers should have been killed during the confrontation with ZERO. ”
Hugo raised his eyebrows and said, "What do you mean?"
"Those who follow me prosper, and those who oppose me perish, this has always been the creed of the chief. And the members who returned to Nightingale at that time attacked twenty-one, but as I told you earlier, there were only thirteen people in the entire organization, and the other eight were eventually killed by the leader, and according to the leader, those who are useless do not deserve to live in this world. ”
"The devil. Hugo muttered that ZERO's actions had to be said to be cold ruthlessness and despair everywhere, and Nightingale, which Thirteen created in order to bring change to the world, began to transform into a crazy killing machine under the influence of ZERO.
"Why did you become like this, what are you for!" Hugo's heart screamed madly, ZERO's reverse transformation made him deeply devastated Hugo, he even felt that ZERO was just a person with the same appearance as Hugo in the past, but what the two said that night proved that the other was never the other person.
Hugo let out a long sigh, thinking that he had solved countless mysteries, but soon he now had more mysteries in front of him.
Xiao Bai stopped and gasped for a while, his physical condition became worse and worse, two extremely unhealthy red blobs appeared on his originally pale face, and his body twitched unconsciously, and dark blue blood vessels were revealed on his skin.
Pooh saw all this in his eyes, and Pooh shouted to Hugo: "Don't let him talk anymore, he can tell you anything you want to know, but now what he needs is treatment!"
Hugo looked at Xiaobai, who was getting worse and worse, and shook his head: "What he needs is not treatment, but talk." ”
"You!" was so angry that Vinnie was about to attack, but Xiaobai waved his hand to stop her.
Xiaobai smiled at Pooh and said, "I know you are doing it for my good, but as he said, I need to tell what is in my heart and that's it." ”
Tears welled up in Pooh's eyes.
"I don't care what kind of experience and story you have, I don't want to know the grievances and hatreds between you, I don't care who you used to be, I just want you to live well and be by my side..."
Xiaobai looked at Pooh lovingly, his fingers running over his cold, slippery cheeks.
"I don't want to do this," Xiaobai muttered softly.
"It's the life I've always longed for. If I could, I would give up everything I had and just you... But..."Xiaobai closed his eyes in pain.
"There's no going back. ”
Tears flowed down Pooh's face as she realized the meaning of Hugo's words.
Xiaobai's life can no longer be saved, or he himself does not want to be saved.
At the moment of making a battle bet with Hugo, Xiaobai was ready to face death, at that time he had a very simple idea, just hoping that defeating Hugo would save you, but now it seems that this wish is still regrettable.
Xiao Bai raised his head and looked at the sky and said, "The weather here is really bad, wasting today's good night." ”
"It's hard for me to see the sun tomorrow, so I hope that during this time I can pour out some things, which seem a little dark, and there is no light and justice that the world loves, but it is something that I am involved in, and there are traces of my life, and I want to leave these things..."
After saying that, Xiaobai set his eyes on Hugo, Hugo seemed to understand Xiaobai's thoughts, nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will give you time in the end." ”
"Thank you. Xiaobai said weakly.
