Hugo was stunned by the sudden attack of the thangka, and soon realized the meaning of the thangka's words.

Thangka said in a deep voice: "As your trophy, I have no right to interfere with anything. I don't know what the situation of your friend who needs to be rescued is now, but you need to know that this thing will be a matter of life and death for many people. ”

Hugo pouted and said, "Xiaojie, did he say anything?"

"He said he saw a battle mech that could absorb the Desecrater's abilities. ”

Hugo nodded, then pondered for a moment before saying, "To be precise, it's a battle mech that can absorb the desecrated's energy and use it for its own use. ”

Hearing this, the look in Thangka's eyes became even more solemn, and even a touch of fear arose.

Hugo said: "It is almost certain that it is a mecha developed by Tianying, which is mainly developed for fighting the desecrated, and it is very effective for the desecrated. Hugo grinned, but in the face of Thangka's solemn gaze, he still withdrew his smile in a wry manner.

The two fell silent again.

After a long time, Thangka said, "What is it like to face it?"

Hugo thought for a moment and said, "The shock may be no less than the feeling of knowing the existence of the desecrator for the first time." It's powerful, but it also has a lot of drawbacks. But all in all, it's a very tricky enemy. ”

Thangka said: "What if this kind of mecha enters mass production?"

Hugo fell silent, and after a moment he said, "Then the blasphemer camp will be defeated on all fronts..."

Thangka slowly closed his eyes, then exhaled deeply.

Hugo reassured: "Actually, you don't have to worry about anything now, I can see that this model of mecha is still in the testing stage, and many performance and combat aspects are still extremely unstable..."

Thangka suddenly opened his eyes and said, "So how long do you think that will take..."

"This—" Hugo was dumbfounded.

Thangka said: "Whenever that day comes, it will be the end of the blasphemer." Hugo fell into complete silence.

Thangka's gaze fell on the heart furnace on the table, and then said, "Xia Ran said that we can obtain the location of the controller of this mecha through this, right?"

Hugo said: "That should be the secret base where the remnants of Tianying are located. ”

Thangka nodded, "I see, are you trying to use this to threaten Tianying in exchange for your friend?" Hugo nodded.

Thangka stared at Hugo and said, "He must be very important to you?"

Hugo said bitterly: "I owe it to her." ”

Thangka nodded, said yes, and then got up and left, leaving Hugo and the heart stove in the room.

"Damn!" was silent for a long time, and Hugo slapped his forehead, his tone full of helplessness and self-blame.

Hugo hadn't thought about what Thangka said, but he still had an extremely strong idea in his heart to save Jasmine, after all, Jasmine had fallen to the point where she is today because of her own mistakes.

The double psychological torture made Hugo's heart extremely heavy, as if a boulder was about to crush his heart.

At this moment, a slight sound of footsteps sounded, and it was Xia Ran who walked in with a bucket of cup noodles.

"I saw Thangka leave, so I'm here to bring you something to eat. With that, Xia Ran smiled and raised the cup noodles in his hand.

At this time, although Hugo's heart was full of anxiety and irritability, his stomach and intestines squirmed quickly when he smelled the aroma of that cup of noodles, and the last time he ate was some coffee and desserts he ordered while waiting in a café near Matthew's safe house, and then he was in full state of battle, and now his body was in urgent need of energy.

Hugo took the cup of noodles and began to eat it in a big gulp, after the hot food entered the stomach, Hugo's mood unconsciously improved a lot, and after he drank all the noodle soup, he sighed lightly, and his spirit had improved a lot.

Xia Ran kept watching Hugo eat, and when everything was over, Xia Ran chuckled: "It's really hard to imagine that a person can eat cup noodles so sweetly." ”

Hugo said: "Fortunately, when you experience hunger, you will never be a picky eater again." ”

Xia Ran said: "Sure enough, there is a person with a story." ”

Hugo said: "It's not a good story. ”

Xia Ran leaned back in the chair, and then said: "At first, I thought that my experience in Liujie was enough to surpass many people, but when I entered the metropolitan area, I found that Liujie was really an independent remote corner, and the life in this fancy world was really exciting. ”

Hugo said: "Have you ever regretted leaving the street?"

Xia Ran nodded and said, "The intestines are all repentant." ”

Hugo chuckled, "I'm sorry. ”

Xia Ran leaned forward and said to Hugo: "Do you think it is useful to apologize at this time? Now even if I return to Liujie, there may not be anything waiting for me, and many strengths will definitely not let me go." ”

After a pause, Xia Ran looked around for a moment, and then said in a low voice: "If you can help me catch up with Thangka, not only will I not blame you, but I will also thank you." ”

Hugo smiled bitterly when he heard this: "There is really a limit to what I can do about this. ”

Xia Ran glared at him and said, "You didn't promise me that, you promised me to help me chase Thangka." ”

"Did I really say that?"

"Of course, how could I lie?"

"Whether I said it or not, now I make it clear that I can't help with this. ”

"You!"

The back and forth of the ridicule between the two made the previous silence enliven a lot, and the gloomy clouds in the corners of Hugo's eyes also dissipated a little.

Hugo sighed lightly and said, "I think it's been a while since we returned to the metropolitan area from Drift Street, and compared to our current situation, the crisis in Drift Street is more like a child's trick." ”

Xia Ran frowned and muttered, "It seems that the current situation is really terrible." ”

Hugo said softly: "I don't know what happened to the cuckoo?"

Hearing this, Xia Ran smiled and teased: "I can't see that you are really an amorous seed, you still can't forget a dangerous woman like Cuckoo." ”

Hugo said: "Don't talk nonsense, it's just that I feel a little emotional as a partner I have worked with." ”

Xia Ran said: "But this partner of yours is Mr. Du's mistress, and she can't be described as a thorny rose anymore." ”

Hugo said: "I didn't want to pick this flower. ”

Xia Ran said: "You can also play with it from a distance." ”

Hugo glanced at Xia Ran white, which was angry and ridiculous, but I have to say that Xia Ran was indeed the most normal person he had ever met.

Seeing that Hugo's expression on his face had greatly improved, Xia Ran pondered for a moment and then began to ask him tentatively.

"Aren't you going to crack this mecha heart furnace that you've worked so hard to obtain?"

Hugo glanced at Xia Ran and said, "You don't have the idea of fighting it." ”

Xia Ran raised his hands and said, "I promise you that I don't have any purpose for it, just some... Curious. ”

Hugo said: "Curiosity is going to kill the cat." ”

Xia Ran said: "Cats can't be hackers. ”

Hugo said: "If you have such a strong energy, I suggest that you try to break through the Skynet system. ”

Xia Ran pursed his lips and said, "One day I will break it." ”

Looking at the heart stove quietly placed on the table, Hugo's eyebrows wrinkled again, and then he sighed and said, "I'm going to use it to exchange someone for Tianying, but Thangka has a lot of complaints about it." ”

Xia Ran said: "Does she want to track and locate it and then get the location of the target point?"

Hugo nodded and said, "For this, Thangka's thoughts should be similar to those of the people in TAROT, they can't let such a threatening existence exist, and they want to completely strangle it." ”

Xia Ran said, "Don't you think so?"

Hugo pondered for a moment and then said, "It's not something that I can do with what I think. ”

Hugo looked at Xia Ran and said: "You should know best about the attitude of human beings towards the desecrated, the hatred and suspicion in it are far beyond the relationship between any two species, and the most alien desecrate is really a cancer cell in the eyes of the world, and it is impossible to make it ignore it." ”

"I believe that over the years, not only Tianying, but also the Templar, the Tsukishima military, the Metropolitan Police Department, and all countries in the world except Tsukishima have been developing weapons research to deal with the desecrated, but we don't see it now. ”

"Even if the world does not have the science and technology it has now, it will fight the blasphemer to the end only by relying on a sickle and hoe, and the blasphemer is not a god after all, although he has strong strength, the only result is to be destroyed. The reason why blasphemers still exist in the world is because we have the same body and face as the people of the world. ”

Xia Ran tilted his head and said, "It sounds like a chameleon." ”

Hugo said: "It is true that the invisible is hidden, but the blasphemer cannot confront the world head-on from a positive standpoint, and even the crazy TAROT can only carry out some activities like a terrorist." ”

"At first, I also wanted you to crack it, and finally I went to the door to rescue my friend, but after being reminded, I realized that I am not just a person now, many people have close ties with me, and when I do something big, these people will also be implicated by me, and there will be a lot of people affected, so I decided to take a gentle approach now. ”

Xia Ran thought for a while after hearing this: "Although it is not a perfect plan, there is no better way overall. ”

Hugo sighed again.

Xia Ran looked at Hugo and said, "But it seems that your good intentions are not understood." ”

Hugo said: "It doesn't matter, I do have selfish emotions in this matter. ”

Xia Ran said: "Speaking of which, is that friend of yours a man or a woman?"

Hugo said: "It's a girl about my age." ”

Xia Ran smiled when he heard this: "Sure enough, you are really an amorous seed. ”

...

When Sakura walked into the room, Hugo and Natsuzome were chatting rather relaxedly, and Sakura's intervention interrupted the conversation.

This time, there was no need for Sakura to say anything, Xia Ran immediately got up and said, "I'll go check some information." "I left very quickly.

After Natsuran left, Sakura said to Hugo, "This person is very smart. ”

Hugo smiled: "This word is the first time I have heard it from your mouth, I don't know if it is a positive or derogatory word." ”

Sakura said, "Neutral words." ”

"Neutral words?" Hugo asked rhetorically.

Sakura said, "If I didn't like such smart people before, but now Manken needs such smart people." ”

Hugo pondered for a moment and then nodded, "This logic makes sense. ”

Sakura's gaze also swept over the hearth on the table, and then she looked at Hugo and said, "I'm very sorry for what happened last night, we weren't there for you when you needed help the most. ”

Hugo shook his head and said, "My life is not that valuable. After that, he said to Sakura, "How badly I was hit last night. ”

A trace of murderous intent flashed in Sakura's eyes, and after a long silence, she said slowly, "No, no, she told almost everything she knew. ”

As the former second-in-command,The person in charge of everything within the Manken Club knows more about the Manken Club to a large extent than the paper kite.,Although after not rebelling out of the Manken Society, the paper kite led Sakura and others to restructure the Manken Club for the first time,But it still can't completely get rid of the eyes of the no.,Sakura's mouth and a few words are enough to show how serious the blow was to the Manken Club last night.。

Hugo pondered for a moment and then said, "How is the paper kite?"

Sakura said, "The leader is resting, and the fatigue and pain he endured last night is unimaginable. ”

Watching the family and people who had built it with his own hands die tragically one after another, this pain is absolutely unacceptable.

Hugo turned his gaze to the heart furnace, and after a pause, he said to Sakura, "Do you know what happened last night?" Naturally, he was referring to the battle mech that could restrain the Blasphemer's abilities.

Sakura nodded, apparently she had already told her about last night's incident.

Hugo said, "I'm sorry, I need to trade this thing for my friend." ”

Sakura shook her head and said, "No need to apologize, no matter what decision you make, it's your freedom." Then Sakura's eyes also looked at the heart furnace.

"Although Thangka is older than me, her heart is not mature to a certain extent. She didn't realize that even if we cracked it, we wouldn't necessarily be able to take further action. At the moment, what happened to Mankensha is already in jeopardy, and we won't get into trouble any further. ”

Hugo looked at Sakura, then lowered his head and whispered, "Thank you." ”

Hugo's thanks were completely heartfelt, and he knew that Sakura was comforting himself by saying something.

Grasping information and further action are completely different things, no matter what, cracking the secret in the heart furnace can give the Manken Club an extra safe bargaining chip in its hands, which is very important for the Manken Club that is now in danger.

But Sakura didn't ask Hugo to do that.

This is the meaning of Sakura, and it is also the meaning of paper kite.

Faced with this, Hugo's heart swelled with deep self-blame, and at this moment he even felt that he had betrayed everyone in the Manga Society.

Looking at Hugo, who had a complicated face, Sakura said quietly, "Please do what you think you should do, and don't think about anything else." We don't want to see Hitomi's tragedy happen again. ”
