Chapter 22: The Night Watch
Hugo and the others were arranged in a room on this floor, and the old gull said to the two: "Now I have blocked the passage on the entire floor, and you can't leave without permission, you can only be here for one night tonight, and I will let you regain your freedom until tomorrow morning." ”
Akita said, "Then why do you have to do this tonight?"
Lao Ou said: "The commission I have accepted is not just to transport you here, otherwise I would not have had a conflict with Gao Bai. The consequences of tonight's events are very serious, and I have to be vigilant, and it is up to me to see if things go in a bad direction tonight. ”
Akita was still about to say something, but Hugo said, "No problem, it's a place to sleep anyway, and since someone keeps vigil for us, we can't ask for it." ”
Lao Ou smiled and said, "In that case, let's enjoy our service to the fullest." ”
Hugo was the first to enter the room, and Akita reluctantly followed.
...
"What is this? Kidnapping! It's a naked kidnapping!" Akita said indignantly as the door closed the room.
Hugo first looked around the interior of the room, which could be considered a luxurious presidential suite compared to the cramped cabin lounge.
The interior of the room adopts a traditional American style, the main color is quite heavy, but it also reveals a different kind of calmness.
"Oh, it looks pretty good, at least there's a window. Hugo said indifferently, Akita blinked, he found it difficult to get along with Hugo to keep up with the rhythm of his thinking.
Hugo sat on the soft sofa and looked at Akita and said, "I see that you have begun to like the dress you are wearing, otherwise why don't you take it off?"
Hearing this, Akita's body seemed to be suddenly electrocuted, and he hurriedly took off his clothes and threw them in the corner of the side.
Looking at Akita's disgusted face, Hugo couldn't help but laugh.
After Hugo laughed, Akita also sat down dissatisfiedly and said, "How did things develop to this point, it seems that they have developed to the extent that they are not under our control. ”
Hugo shook his head and said: "Not yet, the person I entrusted, and the person in Lao Ou's mouth, let him do more things out of consideration for our convenience and safety, which is reasonable, if we suffer trouble as soon as we arrive at the destination, the remuneration for coming there will be greatly reduced, so Lao Ou will care so much." ”
Hugo leaned back and continued: "And we still know too little about the flow street, just like just now, who of you and I could have imagined that this is the flow street we know? ”
Akita pursed his lips and said: "I have to say that the scene just now really shocked me, this place is completely different from the endless garbage heap I imagined before, except for the cold weather, it is more like a bustling city." ”
Hugo smiled slightly: "It seems that there are still many truths waiting for us to decipher." ”
Akita shook his head disappreciatively and said, "No matter what happens here, even if it becomes the economic and financial center of the world, I don't care, what I want to know is how we will find that target person next." ”
Hugo nodded and said, "That's right, that's the point of our visit, and we don't have much time left." ”
Akita stretched and pretended to be quite leisurely, "What if there is not much time, we are completely trapped here now, at least don't expect to leave tonight." ”
Hugo smiled and shook his head: "Not necessarily, I said that the best thing about this room is that it has a window, and the window is very large." ”
Akita was stunned when he heard this, and then reacted and couldn't help muttering: "I almost forgot, you have wings..."
Hugo said: "I really don't feel any pride in hearing you say that, I feel like some kind of insect monster." ”
Akita pouted and said: "You don't want to be cheap and sell well, it's too late for me to envy your ability, and you're still complaining in front of me!"
Hearing this, Hugo casually asked, "Oh, I still don't know much about what your blasphemer abilities are?"
"Uh... This..."Akita's face was embarrassed when he heard this, he naturally remembered Sayuri's advice before, and at this time he didn't feel sorry for his gaffe just now.
Hugo was very considerate, and when he saw Akita's embarrassed face, he smiled and said, "Forget it, we'll talk about this topic later, I'd better start preparing to leave here now." When Akita heard this, he hurriedly got off the donkey and agreed.
Although Hugo didn't seem to be pursuing Akita's specific blasphemous abilities, he had an extra eye on it in his heart.
Hugo was curious about Maugham's abilities as early as Akita interrogating him, and Hugo suspected that Akita might have Sayuri-like blasphemous abilities, at least he could have an effect on a person's brain and soul, and judging from Maugham's mental state after trial and the level of information Akita had, Akita did have the possibility of similar abilities.
Hugo saw that there was an unopened bottle of wine on the table, so he took it and opened it, and a strong aroma of wine instantly emanated.
"Looks like people here really like hard liquor. Hugo poured the wine into a glass and took a sip, frowning.
"I don't know why so many people like this spicy stuff. ”
Seeing this, Akita couldn't help but smile and said, "Look at you like you really look like an elementary school student who only says that juice is delicious." ”
Hugo grinned, if it was true, whether it was out of psychological maturity or personal experience, Hugo was more of an adult than Akita.
Hugo put down his glass and opened it in front of the window, and a cold wind blew in, Akita shivered subconsciously, shrank back, and looked at the fur coat that had been thrown in the corner with great reluctance.
Hugo said to Akita: "You don't have to come out, I'll just act alone." Akita didn't dare, but Hugo didn't give him a chance to speak, and said: "I just want to get familiar with the surrounding environment when I go out, and I will go back when I go, you really don't need to suffer with me for this kind of action, and besides, if the old gull comes for a while, at least one person will be a cover for me." ”
Akita said disdainfully: "What do you care about that old snake head doing so much." ”
Hugo said: "I have already offended a Gao Bai, there is really no need to provoke others anymore, leaving you here can be regarded as our face for him." ”
Hearing this, Akita nodded in front of him.
Hugo said: "You can rest here with peace of mind, you can have a few drinks, but don't be greedy." If you're lucky, I'll get you a clean coat back. ”
Akita was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly told Hugo not to forget this last thing, Hugo smiled and nodded, and then jumped into the night sky.
