Chapter 7: The Dead and the Living
The person Hugo is talking about is Sayuri, as the person who inherited all the power of Tritocleia's stone carvings, and is also the blasphemous creator who gave the power to the world, Sayuri must know how the dead Hugo was reborn as ZERO.
When the original sin organization was destroyed, it was almost three years before the destruction of the East Island, and during this time, Sayuri may have been secretly observing herself, including her own years afterward.
At the same time, Hugo also realized that Dicard's ability was intentionally given by Sayuri, who used a tactful way to create a new living environment for herself.
Now Sayuri seems to be still in a coma, under the guardianship of Xiaojie, Sakura and others, Akita has never left half a step from it, it seems that the secret between him and Sayuri is by no means as simple as it seems, but after Hitomi was killed, Hugo was also immersed in great grief and mourning, and had no time to pay attention to anything else.
The paper kite said: "Do you have a plan for the rest of the matter?" Hugo nodded and said, "Tonight, I want to go to the 23rd district first." ”
Although the paper kite was puzzled by the location that Hugo said, he still only nodded silently, and then said, "If it is useful to the place of the Manken Society, please speak." ”
Hugo smiled and said, "I've troubled you a lot. After a pause, Hugo asked, "But I'm curious about one thing, they all say that the Manken Society is the largest blasphemer organization, but now there are only eight members of the Manken Society, including you. ”
Paper Kite raised his eyebrows and said, "What? Don't you think that the Manyan Society is a waste of fame?" Hugo hurriedly shook his head to indicate that he did not mean so.
Paper Kite sighed lightly and said, "Among the three blasphemer families, TAROT is the strongest, the circus is the craziest, and our Manken Society is the largest. However, we are different from the first two, both TAROT and the circus require strict requirements, and you don't have to be strong enough to be in the company. ”
Hugo nodded silently, although he can't be said to be the one who looks down on him since he gained his ability, but his ability is also the best among most of the desecrated, but no blasphemer family has ever thrown an olive branch to him, and it is also because of various chances, Hugo has had a holiday with the two major families since the beginning and has deepened more and more, if it weren't for the friendship with the Manken Society because of the original Chitose, I'm afraid he would have become the target of all the blasphemers.
Paper Kite continued, "The original intention of my founding was to provide shelter to all blasphemers, whether they were strong or weak. ”
Hugo said: "There are tens of thousands of mansions in Ande, and the poor people in the world are happy." ”
Paper Kite said: "I don't have such a high realm, I just don't want to witness the tragic slaughter." Speaking of this, the paper kite's eyes were a little wandering.
"You're lucky you didn't go through the darkest of times, when there was no family organization or some kind of convention, and all the blasphemers were scattered, and the fear in our hearts as humans who had acquired superpowers was far greater than that joy. ”
Hugo wanted to ask why the paper kite died when he first gained his powers, but he swallowed back when the words came to his lips.
Paper Kite said: "I have witnessed too many tragic situations in the crazy slaughter of hunters, which is something that I can't see from books, movies and television before, war can really make people crazy, and completely lose all goodness and reason." ”
"Not all blasphemers possess great abilities, and this has to do with the nature of their minds. Unlike magicians and circus masters, I have a certain strong purpose, I just want to live in peace. ”
Hearing the paper kite say this, Hugo's heart could not be asked.
Paper Kite said: "However, this wish is also so difficult to achieve, as the so-called tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, in the end, the blasphemer still cannot escape and fall into the battle." ”
"The last thing I want is for the members to die in battle, so I choose to have some people take care of a lot of things, but in the current form, if I wait for the silence, all I have to wait for is destruction, after all, I don't have an independent otherworldly space in my hands. ”
After saying all this, Paper Kite looked at Hugo and said: "From now on, I will mobilize the entire Manga Research Society to face the next war, I really don't want to see anyone die innocently." ”
The last words completely pierced Hugo's heart.
Hitomi is undoubtedly an innocent victim, she has never participated in any evil, she is in the flower season and she has already carried a heavy enough burden, her mother died tragically, her father was innocently imprisoned, and her only wish is to return her father's innocence.
Hugo looked up, and the raindrops slipped from the sky and fell into his eyes, cold turning to heat.
"She's too tired, let's get some rest..."
...
The black soil had completely filled the grave pit, Liu Zhenmin stopped what he was doing, and silently watched as several other people trimmed and flattened the mouth of the grave pit, sealed it with gray-white stone slabs, and erected tombstones.
The content on the tombstone is very simple, only engraved with Hitomi's name and life, this neat tombstone is just like Hitomi's life, there is no climax, and it is also calm and indifferent after death.
"You, you're too simple," Liu Zhenmin muttered softly, her tone full of sadness and blame.
Tanaka silently walked up to him and patted him on the shoulder.
Liu Zhenmin said: "I want to stay alone with Ah Tong for a while, you can send these guests for me." ”
Tanaka nodded and whispered, "We'll wait for you in the car." Then he turned and left.
The people around the tombstone dispersed one by one, and Liu Zhenmin watched the girl who looked like a high school student and the younger boy leave, and Liu Zhenmin didn't remember that Ah Tong had such a friend.
But it doesn't matter...
Just when everyone almost left, only a middle-aged man in a black suit remained in place, and only he and Liu Zhenmin were left in front of the tombstone.
The middle-aged man slowly stepped forward and whispered, "Mourning is good." ”
"Thank you. Liu Zhenmin said indifferently.
The middle-aged man paused and said, "I regret Liu Zhentong's death, she is really young." Liu Zhenmin nodded.
The middle-aged man said with emotion: "I understand your feelings, I also sent my son away not long ago, the feeling of a white-haired person sending a black-haired person... It's very uncomfortable. ”
Hearing the middle-aged man say this, Liu Zhenmin unconsciously moved: "I'm sorry, please also mourn." ”
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "It's okay, I've seen it now." Although it is sad that a loved one has passed away, the living person must continue to live and be stronger. Because we carry more on our backs. ”
Liu Zhenmin stared at the middle-aged man, and he vaguely felt something hidden in the other party's words.
The middle-aged man stretched out his palm to Liu Zhenmin and said, "I haven't introduced myself yet, my name is Gao Dakuan." ”
