Chapter 16: Home and Family

As soon as Hugo's words came out, the atmosphere in the room suddenly froze, and Chang Ji's hand holding the wine bottle was about to be in mid-air, and it took a long time to come back to his senses, and he looked at Hugo in surprise and said, "You said you... Leaving the East Island?"

Hugo nodded, and Chang Ji shook his head in surprise and said, "Really?"

Hugo said: "When did I lie to you. ”

Chang Ji stared at Hugo with wide eyes, but when he saw that there was no joke on his face, he swallowed and said, "What happened that night?"

Hugo sighed lightly: "Things are a bit complicated, I didn't have too long to catch up with you when I came back this time, I wanted to see if you were okay, and I would tell you in detail next time we met if I had the chance." ”

Seeing that Hugo had reservations and didn't want to say it, Chang Ji reluctantly smiled, put down the wine bottle in his hand and smashed his mouth, and said after a moment of silence: "You said you left East Island, so where did you go?"

"I went to District 2 first, solved some identity problems, and then arrived at District 13, where I lived for the next three years, until now. ”

Chang Ji nodded and said, "I know the 13th district, the famous academy city. When I was younger, I also fantasized about being admitted to the Celestial Academy in District 13 and becoming a handsome mecha warrior. Hehe, it's really interesting to think about it now. Tsuneyoshi said, with a smile on his face that touched the past.

Hugo chuckled, "It's good that I didn't enter, it's a kind of luck to some extent." Tsuneji smiled and nodded, then realized the hidden meaning of Hugo's words, and looked up at Hugo. Hugo shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'm barely a student of Tianying now, um... I guess they haven't expelled me yet. ”

"How can this be..."Tsuneyoshi wondered, and suddenly his eyes flashed eagerly, "ZERO, tell me what you're doing?"

Hugo said with a nonchalant look: "What else can I do, I didn't drive a mecha to catch you." ”

"Don't talk to me about his stuff!" Chang Ji said angrily.

"Are you playing with fire?"

Hugo was silent.

Seeing this, Chang Ji was even more determined in his heart. With a long sigh, he said, "Sure enough, you can't let go of the obsession in your heart, and what you think about is revenge." ”

Hugo said: "Don't you want to? I remember when you said that you didn't hate Dicard, but hated Tsukishima and those who made things worse for us. ”

Chang Ji shook his head and said, "Hate is hate, but many times hate is powerless. Even you won't be able to kill the entire Tsukishima people. ”

Hugo said: "I don't want to kill those innocent and ignorant people, I just want to make those who harm our fields like today's Tao pay the price." ”

Tsuneyoshi sighed, "I'm afraid it's more difficult to kill those people than to kill the people of Quanyue Island, they are all high-ranking people. ”

Hugo said coldly: "Whoever it is, it will be killed." ”

Chang Ji said: "Then who have you ever gotten rid of?"

Hugo shook his head and said, "I don't have a name on my list yet. ”

Tsuneyoshi asked again, "Are you already clear about the truth of the Day of Destruction?"

Hugo nodded and said, "The specific truth is not clear, but I have vaguely known something." Chang Ji's spirit was also lifted when he heard this, and he temporarily forgot about Hugo's persuasion and asked urgently: "Why what?"

Hugo pondered for a moment and said, "It should have something to do with the existence of the 'Ancestral Body'. ”

"Archaeopteryx?what is that?" Chang Ji was also puzzled by the second monk when he heard this, and Hugo said: "'Archaeopteryx is not an animal, but a little girl who was used as the subject of the experiment, and because she was the first successful object of this experiment, it was named 'Archaeopteryx'." ”

Chang Ji's mind quickly reacted to what Hugo said, but his mind was still confused.

"What kind of experiment is that? Experimenting with children sounds inhumane. ”

"It's supposed to be an experiment about desecrators. ”

"Readers? What is that, magazines, fans?"

Hugo paused, and finally said something that Tsuneyoshi understood instantly.

"Dikar is a blasphemer. ”

Chang Ji immediately fell silent when he heard this, looked at Hugo with incredulity in his eyes, and slowly said after a long time: "You mean... That was an experiment by a paranormal?"

Hugo nodded and said, "That's right, all the clues I know now focus on this point." My guess is that something happened during this experiment, such as a lab explosion or something, that led to Doom Day. ”

Tsuneyoshi already oozed fine sweat on his forehead and said, "If that's the case, then this laboratory is not much smaller than the scale of the Chenobyl nuclear power plant." Hugo didn't say anything else, and he trusted Chang guitar very much, but Hugo thought that there was still no need for him to know, and it was better not to say it for the time being until things were completely clear.

The two were silent for a long time, and Chang Ji spoke: "You came back this time to investigate the matter of the laboratory?" Hugo nodded and said: "On the one hand, after all, so many years have passed, and I am afraid that many things are difficult to trace, and I don't have much hope for this." On the other hand, I want to take you out of the East Island and leave this ghost town completely. ”

Chang Ji looked at Hugo, and Hugo's eyes were full of sincerity: "I have also met many people in the past few years, but there are not many people who can really make me trust, and I need your help very much for this." ”

Chang Ji stared at Hugo for a long time and finally said, "A month after your disappearance, I went to the Stone Forest. Hugo's heart moved, he was still in the stone forest in the morning. This special location is a place to remember for both Hugo and Tsuneyoshi.

Tsuneyoshi continued, "It turns out that after I took you away, the Tsukishima military did arrive there, and the mechs destroyed by Dikal and the mecha knights who died were recovered by him, but the bodies of the others were left behind. Dicar, Hugo, Andrew, Mina. Hehe, by the time I arrived, they had completely rotted into a pile of bones. If it weren't for the fact that I vaguely remember the battle, I am afraid I would not have been able to distinguish the identity of those bones. ”

"Then I went to the drain where almost all the members of the original sin had been killed by Dillon, and the bodies were not removed. I couldn't find Mr. Jask's remains there, he was completely mixed with the corpses of the others. ”

"It took me a long time to re-incinerate the bones and then bring them back. He was buried near here, and a simple tombstone was erected. Haha, I don't know how to be a stonemason, so I can only make a new one every once in a while out of wood, but luckily I have time now. ”

When Hugo heard this, his heart was extremely complicated, and he finally knew how the clean scene in his strength came from. Thinking that because of his momentary cowardice, Hugo's body had endured years in the wind and rain, and he blamed himself in his heart.

I only heard Chang Ji continue to sigh: "So, my family is here, this is my home, and I will not leave here." ”
