Chapter 9 Absolute Fairness and Absolute Contradiction
Hugo is still relatively unfamiliar with the name of the hanged man, and he has never met and fought with him.
Unbeknownst to Hugo, the hanged man in front of him was the "mother" who had been arrested by nine places and had provided many hunters with the power of readers for several years.
At the beginning, TAROT declared war on the world with the Laser Stadium Incident, but in this battle, which was invested a lot of energy, the Emperor and Fu Bu did not appear, but entered nine secret bases in District 23 to rescue the hanged man. If it weren't for the magician who took the three of them away, all three of them would have died in the same fate.
Months later, the Hanged Man had long since regained self-consciousness, but he had remained low-key and had not been involved in much of TAROT's activities, so the other major Blasphemer groups knew little about it.
Hugo said coldly: "I don't know what you are here for. ”
Hearing this, the upside-down hangman smiled and said to Hugo: "Is it really unsafe for Your Excellency to say this, our TAROT members were killed by you, and the right to collect the corpses as companions should always be used." ”
Hugo was speechless, and the attitude shown by the hanged man had always been very humble, and it could be said that there was no edge, but Hugo did not believe that the other party was a kind and kind messenger of peace, since the sudden arrival must have some kind of purpose.
At this moment, the hanged man suddenly turned his head to look at the camera surveillance equipment hidden in the shadows.
Suddenly, only a series of crackling sounds could be heard, and the surveillance equipment in the gladiatorial arena completely shattered, and several electric sparks flickered in the dim corner.
"Hehe, I'm a shy person, I'm not used to having so many eyes to watch, and now it's much better. ”
Hugo coldly watched the hanged man make an understatement with a grim expression. Whatever the purpose of the hanged man was, in Hugo's eyes it was a demonstration.
Although the method shown by the upside-down hangman just now seems to be unremarkable, Hugo knows that it is extremely difficult to complete this action in a short and invisible way, but the mental control is far beyond himself, and Hugo does not clearly feel how strong he is even if he completely releases his spirit to the other party to investigate.
Have no bottom.
This was Hugo's first impression of the hanged man.
At this time, the hanged man seemed to have improved his spirit because he was out of surveillance, and Zhengse said to Hugo: "For some special reasons, I have not been in the organization for a long time, and I don't know about the various decisions that have occurred in the organization, so I can't help but feel a little strange after returning to the organization again, as if the world has changed after waking up from a dream." ”
Hugo watched him quietly, he didn't react to the emotion of the hanged man, his eyes were always full of vigilance.
The hanged man didn't care about this, just continued his topic.
"When I woke up, I was amazed to find that the current pattern had changed dramatically, the desecrator and the hunter, who had been so inexorable that the contradictions had intensified, were at peace, and the blasphemer who had been unanimous with the outside world was in constant internal strife, and if this continued, there was no need for outsiders to intervene, and the blasphemer would also go to the end of himself. ”
Hugo said: "The reason why there is a rift is that we need to ask ourselves, what has TAROT done over the years, it is strong enough and too ambitious, and this is the real fuse that leads to the conflict." ”
The hanged man nodded to Hugo without objection: "I admit that some of TAROT's policies have changed in recent years, which will make many people think that we have ulterior motives, but I want to say that we have never forgotten our original aspirations, and we have always been careful to maintain that peace-loving heart." ”
Hugo said: "You should say this to the people who died in the laser stadium." ”
Hanging man upside down: "It's a pity. ”
That's all?
Obviously not enough.
However, the hanged man quickly gave his own thoughts.
"Then do you know what kind of massacres the world has carried out against the desecrated?"
Hugo was silent, he knew that many blasphemers would never forget the painful past, and it was obvious that the hanged man had gone through that dark time.
"The ability that the blasphemer gained was an accident, many people think it is a gift from heaven, and some people think it is a curse from the devil, but in any case, it is not something we took the initiative to obtain. ”
"Behind every blasphemer there is a sad story behind it, which is why the blasphemer has a cohesive heart. ”
However, when the world was the first to discover the existence of the Desecrated, they did not know the reason for its birth in detail, but raised the butcher's knife at the first time. ”
Hugo said: "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you, and if you know the pain of violence, why do you want to replicate it in large quantities?"
"We are not spreading pain, we are defending ourselves. All fairness and justice come from the equality of power of both sides, the reason why the blasphemer was suppressed and excluded in the past was because they were not strong enough, and now TAROT wants to make the two sides achieve a real balance. ”
There has never been absolute fairness in this world, and excessive pursuit of peace will only lead to greater casualties. ”
The hanged man nodded and said, "It's true, but the blasphemer needs to survive, and that's what we really need." ”
Hugo said: "If you survive, is there no other way?"
The hanged man raised an eyebrow and said, "Do you mean the new Victorian era?"
Hugo nodded solemnly.
I don't want to hang myself, and the calm face of the person first showed a cold and disgusted look.
"This is our world, why do we have to leave just because we have more power! Just like a powerful country is powerless to take power from a small country, is this kind of means fair and just?"
Hugo was silent, he knew that what the hanged man said was right, and the fairness he had just said was also fair to the blasphemer.
PERHAPS UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF THE ATLANEAN REMNANTS, HUGO SUBCONSCIOUSLY THOUGHT THAT TAROT COULD REMAIN IN SECLUSION IN THAT OTHER WORLD IF HE COULD.
Hanging man upside down: "You must know that existence is reasonable, and existence must also have contradictions, only the blasphemer exists for a day, even if there is only one person, there are people who want to get rid of it, this will never stop." ”
"Although the Manken Society and the circus still exist in the world, they are almost the same as living, is there any point in such a life?"
Hugo was once again dumbfounded by the hanging man.
"It seems that there will never be fairness in this world, just like now, Haruki is dead, and you are still alive." ”
Seeing this, Hugo smiled and said, "I can only live by my own strength, do you want to try?"
The upside-down hangman laughed when he heard this, and said, "You are really confident." ”
