Chapter 1 Sitting in the Safe House
The flickering of the bright lights of the gorgeous city has made the night sky and stars lose their brilliance, and these people who have been looking at the earth for billions of years, and have witnessed countless vicissitudes of life, tonight are silently watching everything in front of them as usual, and in their "eyes", what happened tonight is no different from the countless days and nights before.
Matthew turned the key in the keyhole more than a dozen times, each time at a different angle and position, until finally he heard a crisp click, and the door finally opened.
After entering the room, Matthew took a long and deep breath, the air in the room was not smooth, but there was a sense of corruption that had not been vented for a long time, but this feeling made Matthew feel extra reassured.
Matthew didn't turn on the light, he went into the kitchen and took out a bottle of wine from the refrigerator, he couldn't tell the type of wine in the dark, poured the wine into the glass, and threw a few ice cubes into it with the freezer, and then Matthew returned to the room with the cup and sat down.
The ice rubbed against the walls of the glass with a crisp crashing sound, and the cold wine flowed down his throat, but in his chest it burned like a flame.
Matthew poured half a glass of wine in one go, casually put the wine glass aside, and the ferocious wine came up to his head, making Matthew feel drowsy, but Matthew's mind remained exceptionally clear, and although the pores on his skin spread out in a comfortable posture, he also maintained full alertness.
Suddenly, Matthew's slightly closed eyes suddenly opened, and a cold light burst out, this cold light was fleeting, and soon Matthew regained his calm, and then a helpless wry smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
It's time to come.
Matthew turned his eyes to look out the window, the dark night sky looked a little bright under the city lights, but this light could never be compared to the day.
Matthew sighed, knowing he might not be able to see the sun rise again.
Time passed minute by minute, and the pores on Matthew's body were always relaxed, but although the danger in the dark came to each other, he always kept a certain distance from Matthew, and for some reason never approached him.
Just after a long wait, when Matthew began to question this, suddenly there was a knock on the door, Matthew's body couldn't help but tremble suddenly, at that moment he realized that he had been fooled!
The self just now lost the best chance to escape.
A wave of despair wiped out Matthew's heart, and his body collapsed on the couch with some slump.
The person outside the door knocked a few times to no avail, and then said, "Since you don't open the door, then I'll open it myself." Matthew faintly heard a creaking sound from the door lock, it was not the sound of using a key or using a tool to pick the lock, it was more like some kind of liquid flowing into the lock, this feeling made Matthew feel suspicious, but he couldn't imagine what it was, but it didn't matter to Matthew anymore, the important thing was that he had heard that the person who was talking outside the door just now was no one else, it was Hugo!
The lock finally opened with the sound of a rustling sound, followed by a slight turning of the door, and then the door opened.
There was no light outside the door, it was extremely dark, but Matthew only felt that he had a pair of cat's night eyes, and he could clearly see the silhouette of the figure standing outside the door.
"Good evening. Hugo said softly.
For some reason, when he really faced Hugo, Matthew suddenly recovered from his fear and nervousness, and his body and heart returned to his previous peace.
"Good evening, long time no see. β
Hugo said: "It hasn't been long, it's just a little far from the place where we last met, but this is also a matter of no choice, after all, your whereabouts are too uncertain." β
Matthew smiled, "Even so, didn't you find me easily?" and waved his hand: "It's not enough to stand outside the door, why don't you come in and sit down and have a drink by the way." β
Hugo smiled: "You don't need to have a drink, I've already drunk a lot tonight, and I'm very interested in sitting down." With that, Hugo walked straight in.
Looking at Hugo's posture in the dark, Matthew's heart couldn't help but jump again, in his eyes, Hugo's every move had fatal loopholes, but Matthew didn't dare to burst out and attack, because he knew that in the case of crushing strength, these loopholes could only be regarded as tricks by the other party to ridicule him.
Hugo finally sat down not far from Matthew, and neither of them could see each other's faces in the darkness, even through the hazy moonlight outside the window, but only the outline of each other's faces could be faintly seen.
After Hugo sat down, Matthew was the first to speak: "You have been running a lot to find me these days. β
Hugo nodded and said, "It's really hard, but now it seems that all the effort is worth it." β
Matthew couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.
"I am honored to be lifted up by you. β
Hugo said: "I can't talk about lifting or anything, I have to say that you are my initial opponent to some extent, and I am a little surprised to be able to deal with me for such a long time." β
Matthew laughed, "So all the opponents you've been through have already died?"
Hugo pondered for a moment and said, "I can't talk about it, but judging from the fact that I can sit in front of you now, I do have more wins and fewer losses." β
Matthew laughed again, "So, you're the only one who can get out of this room tonight?"
Hugo smiled lightly: "Is this a questionable thing?"
Matthew's face suddenly became extremely ugly, and the muscles on his face continued to twist.
Hugo said: "In many cases, no matter how far human beings have evolved, they cannot get rid of the most basic laws of nature. Think about it from a different perspective, what would it be like if you and I swapped places today?"
Matthew said coldly, "I'll kill you!"
Hugo tilted his head and said, "Thank you for your honesty." β
Matthew took a deep breath and said, "But I don't know anything before you do it, what made you suddenly have the idea of killing me?"
Hugo said: "I have always wanted to kill you." β
Matthew shook his head and said, "But you let me go in District 9, and although we made an agreement at that time, I can be sure that you didn't have such determination to kill me at that time." β
Hugo nodded when he heard this, and his mind unconsciously recalled the scene of his confrontation with Matthew when he was rounding up Maugham with Sakura and others in the ninth district, and he did let Matthew go that night and obtained some information from him.
Seeing Hugo's silence, Matthew said: "If I can, I hope to continue the fair trade like last time, which is beneficial to you and me." β
Hugo suddenly smiled and said, "Do you think that this time I made such a big move, not hesitating to annoy your old club Grass, just to achieve a win-win situation with you?"
The look of surprise on Matthew's face suddenly froze there, and his eyes showed unwilling resentment, Hugo didn't care about it, and continued: "I did get more important information from you before, but it's a pity that your information is too timely, and it didn't help me much to a certain extent. As for why I suddenly decided to kill you..."
Hugo pursed his lips and said, "Not long ago I had a special trip. I don't need to tell you about the beginning and process of this trip, it really doesn't matter, you just need to know that during that trip I felt like I had gone back in time, met a lot of familiar people, experienced a lot of things in the past, and I met you there. β
Hugo's words surprised and puzzled Matthew, and after a moment of contemplation, Matthew said, "There... What am I like?"
Hugo chuckled, "It's funny, you and I really swapped places in that wonderful world, you became the desecrator with powers, and I was ordinary. β
Matthew couldn't help but laugh out loud when he heard this.
"It seems that this god is still fair to some extent, haha, it turns out that there is such a wonderful world, haha, just thinking about it makes people feel extremely happy. β
Hugo watched the laughing Matthew silently, and he waited for Matthew's laughter to end, as if to give another dying man one last revelry.
After laughing for a long time, Matthew finally stopped, and then said to Hugo: "I'm sorry, I was so happy just now." Hugo smiled and shook his head.
Matthew said, "In that case, I would like to ask again, what is the relationship between us there?"
Hugo shook his head again and said, "Unfortunately, we are still enemies there, and when we meet we are similar to our first acquaintance. β
Matthew laughed again, and after laughing for a long time, Matthew suddenly restrained his smile, stared at Hugo seriously and coldly, and said, "What about the final result?"
Hugo shrugged his shoulders and said, "Isn't it the best proof that I can still sit here now?"
Matthew said coldly, "I don't believe it!"
Hugo said: "It is indeed true, I have to say that the battle was very fierce, and if I had not had the help of others, I would have been killed by you, but all this is just if, the fact is that I won in the end." β
"Impossible!" Suddenly Matthew erupted in anger and roared madly at Hugo.
Hugo was also very calm about this, just looking at him silently.
After the anger, Matthew's breathing became violent and rapid, and Hugo's eyes could clearly be seen to be full of red bloodshots.
It took a long time for Matthew to calm down, and suddenly he sneered like crazy again.
"Haha... Ha ha... Ha ha... Hugo, Hugo, you really make me speechless, even in a fictional world I can't defeat you? β
In Matthew's view, Hugo's world and travel are undoubtedly just a dream he had, and sadly he did not win in that dream, and because of this, Hugo completely made up his mind to kill himself.
Hugo said: "Things are not what you think, all I can say is... It's more complicated. Again, I killed you in that battle, but I wasn't really the winner, because you killed someone very close to me there. From that moment on, I made up my mind that when I got out of here, I would kill you as soon as I got rid of this nightmare-like thing. β
"Fuck!" Matthew scolded angrily, looking at Hugo fiercely.
"In your eyes I'm just a nightmare?"
Hugo shook his head and said, "Of course not, I know that the reality of you is far more terrifying than nightmares." β
"Although you have failed to trap me several times before, those few times really put my life on the line, if I wasn't lucky enough, I'm afraid I would have died a long time ago. To tell you the truth, I had lost a close rel not long ago, and now I dare not let others share the danger I have created. β
Matthew said angrily: "It's good that you know!" Hugo, sometimes I really envy you, envy you for having such a good fate, and envy why every time God always chooses to be on your side, but I will always be this inhuman and ghostly!"
"Lost someone closest to you...," Matthew repeated with a nod.
"Thank you for telling me about this, I have to say that this is probably the happiest thing I heard before I died, and I will laugh happily when I know this matter and want to come to Huangquan Road. Hugo did not react to this.
"The closest personβ" Matthew thought for a moment and suddenly laughed.
"I can share a little story of mine with you. My life fate is not good, my mother died early when I was very young, my father was a drunkard, gambler and addict scumbag, all I think about every day is inferior stud and train guessing, living a drunken life in the paralysis of alcohol, you can imagine what life I lived at that time. β
"I have an older brother, who is a very strong person, in the eyes of others is a very strong and excellent child, unlike me, he is excellent in school, and very inspiring, unlike me who lives a rotten school life like a gangster every day, from a certain point of view I inherited my father's very pure blood. β
"I have been living under the protection of my brother for many years, I am very content, although I am unfortunate enough in my eyes, but as long as I have my brother in me, I don't care about this, I can endure any suffering. However, to my surprise, the man who had given me all my hope eventually gave up on me. β
On the recommendation of the school, he entered the academy founded by the military, and in just two years, he entered the preparatory class of the Special Marine Corps, and it can be said that the future is bright, and his life is full of promise and hope. But I'm in an endless hell!"
"I will bear the madness of my father alone, bear all the pain and pressure that life has given me, and I can only suffer everything in silence, and I will not even have anyone to talk to!"
"I hate it, I hate that crazy father, I hate this world that is unfair to me, I hate that big brother who didn't tell me the truth before leaving!"
"So I decided to start taking revenge on everything. β
