Hearing the other party's blunt words, Hugo couldn't help but feel moved in his heart, and he faintly felt that the "consciousness body" conjured up in the stone inscription of Tritogreia might know more than himself.

While speaking, Hugo and Zero have arrived before the water castle. From a closer look, this is a water castle, it is simply a huge palace made of water.

The crystal clear water wall resembles a diamond crystal without impurities, shining against the bright surroundings.

However, a closer look reveals the essential difference between the two. The water that makes up the entire palace is not as still as masonry, but is constantly flowing. In other words, this water palace is completely in motion, and if there is life in architecture, then this water palace has surpassed all the buildings in the world.

A water ladder extended down the entrance of the palace to the front of the two. ZERO was the first to board, followed by Hugo.

Although the entire water palace is made of moving water, but when he steps on it, he is not affected by the movement, Hugo was surprised at first, and then quickly realized that he was already in the space of consciousness, and what he knew and felt could be said to be made up of fantasy, not reality. Thinking of this, Hugo was also relieved at the moment.

In the vast palace there is a huge long table formed by water, and there are crystal clear chairs at each end of the table, which makes people yearn for it.

When Hugo saw this set of tables and chairs, he immediately thought of when he regained his memory, and there was always a similar scene in Sayuri's consciousness space, but the scene at that time was more realistic and luxurious than here.

ZERO HAD REACHED THE END OF THE TABLE AND SAT DOWN, THEN TILTED HIS HEAD TO HUGO AND MOTIONED TO SIT DOWN.

ONCE HUGO WAS SEATED, ZERO SAID, "I'M SORRY FOR THE LACK OF HOSPITALITY, BUT I THINK IT'S BETTER TO SIT HERE AND TALK THAN TO STAND OUTSIDE, AT LEAST FEEL AT HOME." ”

Hugo shook his head and said, "It doesn't feel like a home here. ”

ZERO LAUGHED, "YOU'RE TOO DOGMATIC, IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE WORD HOME... How does it feel like to belong?"

Hugo shook his head again and said, "There is no sense of belonging here. ”

ZERO RAISED HIS EYEBROWS SLIGHTLY AND SAID, "WHAT? IT FELT WARM IN THAT DIM BASEMENT AT THE BEGINNING, AND IT LOOKS BETTER HERE THAN THERE?"

Hugo stared at ZERO, he understood that the other party was by no means "uncannibal", and could not see into his innermost feelings, but he compared this place to the basement, obviously trying to arouse the emotional outburst in Hugo's heart.

ZERO'S RATIONALITY SURPRISED ZERO, AND AN UNFATHOMABLE SMILE APPEARED AT THE CORNER OF HIS MOUTH, WHICH MADE HIM FEEL VERY UNCOMFORTABLE IN HUGO'S EYES, BECAUSE FROM BEGINNING TO END, NO MATTER FROM HUGO TO ZERO, SUCH A LOOK NEVER APPEARED ON HER FACE. This gave Hugo the feeling that the other party was possessed by some kind of ghost.

ZERO seemed to be aware of this, "It's uncomfortable?"

Hugo said indifferently: "It's okay." ”

"I can repeat that I'm not one with that real-life person, if not at all. To put it concretely, I just used her exorcism skin and obtained some of her thoughts through some channels, but it can be said that it is completely different from the Buddha-figure. ”

Hugo nodded, "But you said I could treat you as her." ”

ZERO NODDED, "YES, AFTER ALL, IT CAN BE MORE CONVENIENT, YOU KNOW EACH OTHER VERY WELL, AREN'T YOU?"

Hugo was silent.

ZERO SAID: "ACTUALLY, SINCE YOU ENTERED HERE, THE WHOLE PERSON HAS BEEN IN A STATE OF TENSION AND VIGILANCE, BUT WHAT I WANT TO TELL YOU IS THAT THERE IS NO NEED FOR THIS AT ALL, AND OUR MEETING WILL NOT HAVE THE SLIGHTEST EFFECT ON THE WHOLE REALITY. After a pause, he said, "Of course, it may have an impact on your thinking and emotions. ”

HUGO FROWNED, PUZZLED BY WHAT ZERO HAD SAID.

ZERO grabbed it out of thin air, and a crystal goblet appeared. ZERO TOOK IT IN HIS HAND AND SHOOK IT LIGHTLY A FEW TIMES, BUT SAW A FIRST-CLASS LIQUID APPEAR IN THE GLASS, AND AS HE CONTINUED TO SHAKE, THE CLEAR LIQUID TURNED INTO A CRIMSON DRINK.

ZERO PUT THE WINE TO HIS LIPS AND TOOK A SIP AND SMILED AT HUGO, "MAYBE IT MAKES YOU FEEL A LOT MORE COMFORTABLE." "ZERO's near-godlike methods made Hugo see in his eyes, and it was obvious that although these were all in the mirror, it also proved that the other party had a deep understanding of the laws of consciousness space in Tritoglaia's stone inscription.

ZERO SNAPPED HIS FINGERS, AND NOT FAR FROM HUGO'S HAND, A GOBLET WITH THE SAME DRINK APPEARED.

Hugo put it under his nose, but felt a mellow aroma waft through it, and the smell was intoxicating.

However, Hugo did not drink it, but put it back in its place, and ZERO did not care about it.

"Finally, I will explain to you again that your entry into this world is purely accidental, and it is also in a certain necessity. But whether by chance or necessity, I have only experienced anything here. That is to say, the palace, the tables, chairs, wine glasses, and even the ones you see now are only once, and they are not repaired. ”

Hugo frowned and said, "Is it death?"

ZERO SHRUGGED HIS SHOULDERS AND DENIED, "DEATH IS AN INACCURATE WORD, AND WHILE DEATH NO LONGER EXISTS IN MY COGNITIVE WORLD, IT STILL SEEMS A LITTLE COLD TO ME. If I were to say the word 'zero' would be more appropriate for everything. ”

"Zero," Hugo muttered and repeated ZERO's words, his mind racing.

"It may be difficult for you to understand, but it's not surprising, after all, you're not familiar with this place, and it's normal not to understand the laws here. ”

Hugo said: "That means that if I want to understand, I have to stay and understand it thoroughly?"

ZERO NODDED AND SAID, "TIME IS THE BEST TEACHER, IN THE FACE OF ETERNAL TIME, A LIVING ENTITY CAN COMPREHEND AND UNDERSTAND ALL THE LAWS." ”

Hugo said: "This sounds like an ethereal proposition, after all, the former is infinite, the latter is finite, and there is an advantage in using infinity to compare finiteness." ”

ZERO SMILED: "IT'S A SPICY JUDGMENT, AND IT'S ALSO ACCURATE. But from another point of view, this so-called advantage is probably an infinite number of possibilities. ”

Wish... Possible...

Two words swirled in Hugo's mind.

"So, do I have any hope of getting out of here?" said Hugo tentatively.

ZERO SMILED, "YOU DON'T SEEM TO UNDERSTAND WHAT I JUST SAID. ”

Hugo paused: "I don't have a lot of time. ”

ZERO SHOOK HIS HEAD AND SAID, "IT DOESN'T MATTER, IT'S IN TIME. "That confident look is like a charlatan who dares to pack a ticket for everything.

Hugo simply said: "Then when do you think I can leave?"

And ZERO's words are even more striking.

"Anytime. ”
