Hugo's oncoming posture with a sword clearly intended to engage in the most direct frontal "hand-to-hand combat" with Hua Lian's [Picasso], and the momentum can be described as sharp.

If it were to be replaced by another mecha knight and not directly fight Hugo, he would inevitably choose to use the advantage of the battle mech to further widen the gap between the two, so as to crush Hugo.

It can be said that no matter the long-range attack or the progress, Hugo could not defeat [Picasso], his defeat seemed to be doomed, and his current choice was more like a senseless resistance.

But Hugo had his own purpose, and he knew that the person he was challenging was not someone else, but Hua Lian.

It can be said that the people who know him in the most important part of the world.

Of course, not only does Hua Lian know Hugo, but Hugo also knows her. He knew what he was doing would trigger a reaction from Hua Lian.

Hua Lian looked at Hugo, who was striding towards him without any defense, the corners of Hua Lian's mouth showed a sneer of disdain, and then [Picasso] suddenly raised his arm, and the muzzle of a black hole pointed directly at Hugo.

Seeing this, Hugo did not panic, but continued to walk towards [Picasso] at his previous pace, without any nervousness on his face, as if he was not worried that Hua Lian would shoot.

In fact, Hua Lian did not shoot Hugo, not even a threatening warning, but silently pointed the muzzle of the gun at him.

At first, Hugo stopped, and then he also looked at [Picasso] silently, and then suddenly became a passive party, waiting for the other party's attack.

One person and one mecha remained relatively silent, although everything seemed to be calm, but in fact there was an undercurrent. In particular, Hua Lian's eyebrows in [Picasso] have been wrinkled into Sichuan characters, and he looks at Hugo through the projection with great dissatisfaction. At this time, Hua Lian had realized that her mind had been mastered by Hugo.

She wanted to shoot and tell Hugo that he was wrong, that she was her and that no one could control her.

And yet she couldn't.

Naturally proud, she does not allow others to provoke her, even if the other party is Hugo, even if she knows that this may be a trap, she will not tolerate it.

In the end, Hua Lian let out a low roar in [Picasso], and immediately controlled [Picasso] to withdraw the muzzle of the gun in his hand, and then pulled out a golden slender steel sword behind his back.

It is said to be slender and only relative to the mecha, and for Hugo, this steel sword is also nearly four meters long.

Seeing [Picasso] react like this, Hugo's face unconsciously showed a smile.

At this time, an idea suddenly came to his mind, maybe the victory or defeat of this battle did not matter.

"Accompany me to the end!" Hua Lian said coldly.

In the next moment, [Picasso] had already rushed out, swinging his sword and slashing at Hugo.

...

"This is your room. ”

Hugo looked at the neatly decorated and clean room in front of him, and was stunned for a while.

The size of the room is not large, and there are not many furnishings in it, except for the necessary bed and a wardrobe, but the room reveals a unique atmosphere that Hugo has never felt.

Hugo lived in many places, sheltering basements, dilapidated makeshift shelters, ruins in the night rain, military warehouses, and so on. One dwelling after another made Hugo a little numb, so that he had no idea of the word home, and in his eyes all places could be his dwellings, just places for him to rest and sleep, nothing more. Therefore, he does not have a sense of belonging to all places.

However, when he saw the room in front of him, his heart, which had long been frozen, suddenly became a little excited, and an emotion that had never been born in his heart before.

He suddenly felt a little tired, and this feeling made him want to go to bed and close his eyes to rest.

At the same time, he felt a little pity, the small room in front of him was so "delicate", and he needed to take care of and care for it.

There were no lights in the room, but the sunlight illuminated the whole room through the windows, and the natural light gave Hugo a sense of tranquility and peace.

So much so that he had the illusion that the sunshine in front of him was the first time he saw it.

Just as Hugo was stunned, Hua Lian's voice sounded again.

"I'm not a diligent person, but every Saturday is a cleaning day, and on that day you have to clean up the things in your room, and take your clothes and sheets to the laundry room in the basement to be washed and dried. Don't blame me for not reminding you, if you don't follow this rule, I'll have you wipe the whole house with a towel. ”

After that, Hua Lian walked straight to the bed from Hugo's side, fell on the bed with a pop, and muttered to herself: "It's so comfortable, but from now on, I am not your master, your master is this stunned guy, you have to take care of it in the days to come." ”

After that, he stepped forward, patted the mattress under him and said, "Come and try it, I don't know if you like a hard mattress or a soft mattress, but I prefer the former in comparison, so I also prepare a hard mattress for you." ”

Hugo didn't sit next to Hua Lian, but nodded slightly and said, "It's good to have a hard bed." ”

Hua Lian moved her neck for a moment, and then said, "Don't be so polite, from today onwards you are also a member of this house." Parents, boyfriends, girlfriends, pets, etc., there is nothing, only I live alone in such a big house, sometimes I think it's really lonely, and your arrival can be regarded as my companion. ”

Hugo looked around the room again and said, "This house is not too big. ”

Hua Lian was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then said with a smile: "Compared to the entire East Island, this place is indeed small and pitiful. ”

Hugo didn't think that Hua Lian was mocking him, in fact he thought so.

For as long as he can remember, he has been completely free, sleeping wherever he wants, without being restricted. As Tsuneyoshi said, the entire East Island is their backyard.

Besides, even if you don't mention East Island, the area of the military warehouse is far larger than the No. 7 villa in Hualian.

Hua Lian stood up, stretched a long waist, and then said: "You just stay here for the next few days, don't walk outside, your identity is still in production, when your identity is fully accepted in a few days, I will submit your information to the network system here, and then you can enter and exit here freely." ”

Hugo frowned when he heard this: "Production identity?"

Hua Lian said: "What's so surprising about this, you are a survivor in the East Island, and the archives about everyone on the East Island have been almost completely destroyed. Your identity is long gone. Moreover, if your true identity is revealed, the danger will also increase. ”

"I've got someone to help you make a new identity, and of course the name respects your opinion and uses Hugo, and then it will compile all your relevant history, all you have to do is memorize it, and it will help you solve a lot of unnecessary problems in the future. ”

"There won't be any trouble. Hugo said calmly.

Hua Lian said: "Everything in the thirteenth district is up to me, and I am also teaching you some common sense now, so you just need to memorize it." ”

"Good. Hugo calmly agreed.

Hua Lian nodded and said, "Obedience is a good boy." ”

After that, Hua Lian stood up and said to Hugo: "Okay, good boy! everything is over for the time being, and then we have to do a big thing! Go to the restaurant for dinner." ”

With that, Hua Lian walked out again past Hugo.

Hugo looked around the room with a nostalgic gaze, and then followed Hua Lian downstairs.

The dinner arrangement was very simple, although Hua Lian showed a posture of wanting to eat a big meal, but compared to the genius and ability to control the mecha, Hua Lian in front of the stove could be said to know nothing.

It took a lot of effort to fry only two quick steaks, and then Hua Lian tiredly beckoned Hugo to the table to eat.

Hugo chewed the food in his mouth slowly, and although he had been wandering and eating erratically for many years, Hugo had never been picky about food. However, when Hugo ate the steak made by Hua Lian, he suddenly felt a little nostalgic for the curry rice made by Tsuneyoshi.

And when he thought of Changji, Hugo's eyes suddenly revealed a declining emotion. Compared to entering the metropolitan area to start a new life, Changyoshi finally stayed alone in the East Island, although it has countless reasons, but when he thought of Changji's lonely figure sitting at the table eating food, an inexplicable sour sadness welled up in his heart, and at that moment Hugo's tears almost flowed out.

Hua Lian poked the food on her plate with a fork on the one hand, and looked at Hugo on the other, and when she noticed that Hugo was looking different, she quickly understood Hugo's thoughts. Hua Lian only chuckled twice at this, and then said to Hugo: "A lot of things in the world are so impermanent, the life you originally thought would suddenly change dramatically at some point, and the changes were so big that you couldn't even control them. That feeling sucks, but... No one can escape this fate. ”

Hugo looked up at Hua Lian and said, "I came here with you to rebel against my fate. ”

Hua Lian smiled when she heard this: "I haven't been here here recently, so the reserves are not comprehensive, otherwise I must have a good drink with you." ”

Hugo said: "No matter how good the wine is, it will be ruined by your steak." ”

Hua Lian: ...

Hugo continued: "This steak tastes a little weird, it's like..."

"Shut up, eat well!" Hua Lian said in a deep voice.

...

After a simple dinner, the two were still sitting on the dining table and chairs, and Hua Lian made two cups of coffee, sipping slowly with Hugo.

"What did you do after dinner in the past?" Hua Lian suddenly asked.

Without hesitation, Hugo replied: "Read." ”

"Very nice habit. Hua Lian tilted her shoulders.

Hugo said: "It's not a habit, I'm in this state every day. Eating was kind of a break for me to study. ”

Hua Lian said: "Such a waste of sleep and forgetting to eat?"

Hugo thought for a moment and shook his head: "Reading is the only joy in the East Island. Only reading can make me feel alive. ”

Hua Lian smiled when she heard this: "What kind of theory is this? Placing the meaning of one's own life in the books compiled by others, this kind of meaning of life sounds quite boring. ”

Victor Hugo said, "The dead are the spokesmen of death, but books are the spokesmen of wisdom." Reading books is just to allow me to comfort myself in one aspect, so that I can resonate with the content and even the characters in the book. I may be 'stupid' in your eyes, but it's the only way I can survive. ”

Hua Lian nodded, and then said, "The power of knowledge is great, since this is the case, let's toast him!"

"What do you want to do next?" Hua Lian suddenly asked Hugo after replacing the wine with coffee.

Hugo thought for a moment and said, "Do you mean our revenge plan?"

Hua Lian nodded and said, "Sort of." ”

Hugo shook his head decisively, as a newcomer to the urban area, he had no idea about this place, and it could be said that he was struggling. At this time, it is really impossible to set the so-called clear goals and targets.

Seeing this, Hua Lian sighed lightly, and then said, "Blame me, it's me who is too anxious." With that, he took a big sip of his coffee.

Hugo said, "So do you have any plans?"

Hua Lian smiled bitterly: "No, now I am also black-eyed, many people don't know me, in short, I feel that there is a confused fork in the road in front of me." ”

Hugo suddenly said: "So, do you regret bringing me out of the East Island?" ”

Hua Lian was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then she smiled again: "Regret? How can you say it? Regret is not that kind of feeling, but it is a little self-reproachful." I've always thought that I'm independent and calm enough to have a high level of objective opinion on everything. I see that I am quite conflicted about bringing you into the East Island, and I don't know if I am doing a good thing or a bad thing. ”

Hugo said: "Then do you have the idea of sending me back to the East Island?"

Hua Lian smiled: "Do you want to go back?"

Hugo nodded, then shook his head.

Hua Lian said: "Since I have already walked out, there is no reason to regret it, even if I find out that it is actually wrong later, I will fix it." ”

Hugo said: "Mecha can be repaired, can people?"

Hua Lian thought for a while and said, "Maybe, in comparison, mecha is much purer than humans. ”

"If you wake up and find that all the humans in this world have been turned into battle mechs, haha, it's funny to think about. Hua Lian sneered, and although he didn't drink, he was as happy as he was after drinking.

After laughing for a while, Hua Lian slowly suppressed her laughter.

Hugo said: "Then let me ask you another question, if one day in the future, you and I have a conflict over the handling of something, how will you solve it?"

Hua Lian took a sip of coffee and said, "Is it a super ideal environment?"

Hugo thought for a moment and said, "Maybe it is, maybe it isn't." Maybe one day in the future, we'll see that happen. ”

Hua Lianwen laughed and said, "You think so much. ”

After saying that, he put the cup in his hand in front of him, and after a moment of silence, he said: "If that happens, I can only use my strength to speak." ”
