After an unknown amount of time, Matthew's body finally stopped, but the blood that flowed from his body still stopped. ◢ With * dream * small ◢.1a

Hugo stared coldly at the corpse in front of him, without any emotion in his eyes, as if he was staring at some ordinary piece of flowers, plants and stones.

For a long time, the voice of "Arthur" broke the silence.

"You... Is it the first time you have killed someone?"

"Arthur's" voice was dry.

Hugo tilted his head to look at him, and although there was a layer of armor between the two of them, Hugo felt the same fear in Arthur's body.

Hugo shook his head.

"Arthur" was not satisfied with Hugo's honesty, but instead felt a chill of fear in his heart.

"The second time?"...

"Arthur" asked.

Hugo shook his head again.

"Arthur" did not pursue the question, he was already afraid to see Hugo deny his inquiry.

"Why, scared?" Hugo asked Arthur with a smile as well.

"Arthur" nodded equally honestly.

Hugo said to "Arthur", "Have you ever killed anyone?"

"Arthur" shook his head.

Hugo said: "You are really not suitable for your profession, you must know that the words of a soothsayer are often unreliable. ”

"Arthur" said: "I didn't choose this path because of killing, I just wanted justice!"

"Justice..."

Hugo muttered and repeated the word, and the word justice seemed to become illusory in this illusory world created by Tritocleia's stone inscriptions.

"That's right, I'm just trying to be a righteous partner. ”

"Arthur," he said firmly.

Hugo smiled bitterly and said, "I can't remember the first time I have discussed so-called righteous things with others. But no matter if it's the first time, I still want to say that there is no absolute justice and evil in this world, there are only different positions. ”

"Arthur" said, "Your tone is very similar to that of the invaders in the comics who try to dominate the universe. ”

Hugo said: "The so-called comic stories are also made up by people, and it can be said that in many cases they express people's truest inner thoughts. It's scary to just happen in real life, whereas it's fun and cool to be on a virtual stage. After a pause, Hugo said to "Arthur": "How do you know whether the world you live in now is real or virtual?"

"Arthur" was stunned when he heard this, and then said to Hugo: "This is the world I live in, and everything here is real for me!"

Hearing this, Hugo smiled lightly: "It is true, after all, we can't break the so-called fourth wall in this world. ”

"Arthur" stared at Hugo, and after a moment said, "Listen to your tone, it doesn't seem to belong to this world?"

Hugo shrugged his shoulders and said, "Does this matter matter?"

"Arthur" has no way to judge Hugo's ambiguous attitude, and he doesn't care about Hugo's "true" identity even though he is suspicious.

"Can you tell me... What did you kill people for before?"

Arthur's attention was more focused on Hugo's past.

Hugo thought for a while and said: "I don't actually have too many personal conflicts with those people, of course, there are definitely personal emotional factors, but more because of different positions." ”

"Arthur" was a little surprised: "Do you just think that you can kill people with different positions?"

Hugo looked at "Arthur" and said, "There is nothing more good in this world than the reason for a different position." Because of different positions, countless people can go to countless opposing extremes. Because of the incompatible positions of countless forces, and because of the different positions, there are wars and calculations in this world, and all the stories that emerge one after another are born here. ”

"Arthur" was a little dumbfounded when he heard this, but he was still unwilling to give in to Hugo's words.

Hugo seemed to see through what "Arthur" was thinking, and said: "In short, this relative position is the origin of all contradictions, and I cannot resist in the face of this origin. Know that if I don't kill someone, that person will come and kill me. ”

With that, Hugo pointed to Matthew's corpse, lying in a pool of blood.

"Arthur" hesitated, "So... You're just in self-defense. ”

Hugo shook his head and smiled: "How come, those are two things of different natures. Know that if they don't do anything to me, I'll kill them. ”

"Arthur": ...

"Even if it's so simple," said Hugo, "if you have to use a metaphor, it's like the most basic culling hunt in nature." ”

"Arthur": "Humans and animals are different!"

Hugo said: "Sometimes people are worse than animals, at least jackals never thought of burning this grassland all." As long as he's full, he won't do anything to attack actively. In contrast, human beings are driven by ** to appear worse. ”

"Arthur" was dumbfounded by Hugo's series of arguments, and for a moment it was difficult for him to come up with any arguments to convince Hugo.

Hugo said: "You don't have to dwell on my business, you must know that I am not from the same world as you, and I am not a character like Jack the Ripper." All in all, I'm not your enemy. ”

"Arthur" did not answer, but just stared at Hugo.

Hugo smiled, "Although I don't want to be a righteous partner like you, I never thought about becoming his enemy. ”

"Arthur" nodded slowly, "I believe in you." ”

Hugo smiled indifferently and said, "Thank you." ”

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere between the two immediately eased a lot.

Hugo smiled: "Anyway, you really can't take off the mask and helmet for me to see?"

"Arthur" said: "Every profession must have its own rules and regulations, and the rule of superheroes is that you must never take off your mask. ”

Hugo laughed: "What a nonsense. ”

"Arthur" said: "It doesn't matter if it's a ghost or a human story." Anyway, there's so much going on tonight that to be honest, my bones all over my body seem to fall apart completely. Now I just want to go home and get a good night's sleep, while praying that I won't wake up tomorrow with sore muscles. ”

Hugo said: "It is a pragmatic idea, but your plane has been destroyed, how are you going to get home?

"That's a good idea," said Arthur, "and a taxi ride is a good experience." Do you have any cash on you, though?"

Hugo shrugged his shoulders noncommittally, and was about to answer "Arthur" when suddenly a loud bang came from outside.

At the same time, incomparably dazzling white light was projected from the window, illuminating half of the sky as bright as day.

Seeing this, Hugo frowned, gasped and said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid, you won't be able to go home tonight..."
