Chapter 57: Reality in the Unreal
Since ancient times, it has been said that many friends have many paths, and many enemies have many walls. No one wants to be surrounded by enemies in the world, and everywhere they walk is full of murderous plots, even Hugo, who is bent on revenge, does not want to force himself into such a situation.
However, when the fat leech proposed to him to form a good fate, Hugo was first shocked in his heart, and then greater doubts and scruples hit his heart, his eyes stared directly at the fat leech, and he was silent without saying a word, and the atmosphere in the room became a little awkward.
I don't want the fat leech who has always been fierce to turn out to be a master of adjusting the atmosphere, looking at Hugo's solemn and hesitant appearance, he laughed hehehe, didn't say anything, but sat down cross-legged, showing a tired and need to rest.
After sitting down, the leech patted the ground and motioned for Hugo to sit down and chat, and after a moment of silence, Hugo also sat down with his arms raised.
After watching Hugo sit down, the fat leech's face smiled even more, and his fat body leaned back and said: "I'm more than you playing a round, and I think we can barely be regarded as two generations, but since you and I are living in Moon Island in this new century, our generation gap is not very deep." Do you like to watch movies on weekdays?"
The sudden change in the topic of the fat leech made Hugo confused, but he still shook his head lightly and said: "Because of the objective conditions, I have read a lot of books, but there are very few movies." ”
The fat leech nodded and sighed: "Reading is good, especially for young people, it is always beneficial to read more." I'm not good at it, I don't know much, so I can only watch some movies with pictures and sounds. Like an old man buried in his old age, the leech began to babble like an old man facing his grandchildren.
"My favorite movie is an old movie from the end of the twentieth century called The Matrix. Haha, when I first watched this movie, I was attracted to Anne Moss, as if I had met my lover after centuries. Haha, it's silly to think about it now. ”
"But what attracted me the most was not only the heroine, but also the content of the film. A perfectly normal world is controlled by an artificial intelligence system, while the real reality is in tatters, not even a bowl of cereal. Haha, what a sad thing. ”
"After watching the movie at that time, I felt like Neo's savior, and the world was a fantasy utopia controlled by the 'mother'. ”
"I can't blame me when I was younger, after all, the environment of Wandering Street is even more difficult than Zion, and if I can have enough food every day, I will be satisfied. So from that time on, I fantasized that I was a fighter who was tasked with changing the world, and all the hardships I experienced were for the sake of the changes made by the street, and this idea should have existed in the hearts of many young people in the street. ”
"But as time went on, I began to come to terms with the harsh reality. It turns out that Flowing Street is not Zion, and I am not Neo. We are not a group of saviors who shoulder the fate of the world, but a group of people who have been completely abandoned. From that moment on, I learned to give up, thinking that my life was supposed to be like this. However, things have taken a turn for the better again. ”
"Ten years ago, I accidentally discovered that I had a special ability that was different from others, and at that moment I thought it was the Kryptonian blood awakening in my body, haha. But then I noticed that my friends around me began to show their special abilities one after another, and I never knew that I wasn't the only Kryptonian. ”
The fat leech's face was like that of a child, revealing a bit of yearning and excitement, as if looking back on that good time.
"From that moment on, I thought God had finally given me a mission to change the world again. Unfortunately, that was just another delusion of mine. ”
"I'm not the only one in this world who has awakened the ability of the desecrated, and it is impossible for the desecrator of the street to change the world by himself, not to mention that there is such a god-like existence as the Sanctuary in Tsukishima, and the large number of mecha troops of the Tsukishima army alone is not something we can defeat hostilely. At this point, I completely gave up on the idea of changing the world. I created the 'Green Forest' to give shelter to those who have the ability to desecrate in the Flowing Street, after all, whether it is the world or the Flowing Street, ordinary people will never tolerate the desecrator and have the heart to take advantage of it. It's just that we're luckier in the streets, and there are no hunters chasing them. ”
"I spent 10 years in a state of confusion, and just a few months ago, I saw hope for the third time. At this point, the leech lowered his head and looked at Hugo, who already knew the answer.
Neo-Victorian.
"In the early days of the New Victorian era, a key to Hin was given to me in the hope that I would be able to visit this world of the Desecrated," Leech continued, "In the early days of the New Victorian era, I was initially resistant, but when I couldn't restrain my curiosity and used the key to open the black door to here, I was shocked by the sight. ”
"I don't need to go into details, you can feel it, it's a paradise. ”
Hugo nodded slightly, he could feel the mood of the leech at that time, if it weren't for the helplessness of entering the New Victorian era, he would also be full of curiosity and love for this world, after all, what colonist wouldn't fall in love with the New World?
The leech rubbed his fat cheek with his only remaining hand, and then said, "After that, I participated in TAROT's plan, and for the sake of this new world and the future of the 'Green Forest', I made a decision to help TAROT declare war on the whole world and make my position clear. ”
"In the battle of the Laser Stadium, TAROT achieved the expected success, and the 'Green Forest' also entered here as I wished, but I sacrificed an arm. With that, the leech shook his stump again, and his face was gloomy.
Looking at the leech's confession, Hugo's heart moved slightly, but although he understood the leech's mood, he still didn't understand the purpose and intention of all this he said.
The leech stretched out his hand, rolled up a blade of grass on the ground and stuffed it in his mouth, chewing it like a giant bull, without the slightest pain on his face, as if he was eating sweet and delicious cabbage.
After refusing to swallow the blade of grass in his mouth, the fat leech slurred his lips and continued: "But now I regret it, I really regret it. Because I don't feel any sense of existence, this perfect world may have everything people want, but what is always lacking is reality!"
