Chapter 11: Old Rivals
The high-pitched voice shocked everyone at the scene, and they followed the sound to look towards the top floor of the building with billowing smoke.
Hugo sat on his knees with the paper kite, and the sound echoed above his head, causing Hugo's ears to tremble.
But even so, the sound that kept echoing in his ears still made Hugo feel inexplicably familiar, and the lightning flashed in his mind, and Hugo already knew the owner of the voice.
Matthew!
This old enemy of Hugo has reappeared in this world, and Matthew has not changed greatly in this world, according to the current scene, Matthew seems to be more terrifying than in this world.
Hugo also immediately realized that the timing of the fire in front of Ma's eyes did not correspond to the time point in the present world, but his encounter with Matthew was completely compatible.
It was after Hugo obtained the ability of the desecratest, and with the encouragement of Hitomi, Hugo embarked on the path of a superhero. And the first enemy to be dealt with was Matthew.
The reddest Hugo ignited Matthew with a flame belt, which can be said to have almost ruined everything for Matthew. After that, Matthew was like a crazy jackal always looking for an opportunity for revenge, and although Hugo wanted to kill him to get rid of the trouble, Matthew used his cunning to escape from Hugo's hands.
Hugo's last meeting with Matthew was in the 9th arrondissement, when Hugo was teaming up with Sakura and others to round up Nightingale's spy Maugham who had been planted in the Comic Research Society.
At that time, Hugo was 100% sure that he could kill Matthew, but in the end, Matthew escaped by making a deal with Hugo.
Now in this world, Matthew appears as promised, but Hugo has no room for suppression to defeat him.
In the midst of the raging fire, a figure loomed into the flames, waves of fire wrapped around his body, and he looked like a demon king who had come out of the flames of hell.
Matthew's voice came from hell, "I've been waiting too long, and even if I had patience, I'm afraid this building won't be able to bear it." ”
Everyone on the ground looked up at the figure in the flames, and the expressions on their faces were terrified.
Completely ignoring the ant-like crowd under his feet, Matthew continued to shout in the crowd, "We took control of this place about forty minutes ago. At that time, we made a request for a sum of money to be deposited into our account within thirty minutes. However, now that the time has long since expired, there is not a single point on our account, which makes me not rush to question whether it is the indifference of the Luna Group or the Metropolitan Police Department not communicating my intentions in place?"
The noisy uproar caused by Matthew's words caused countless people to scold Matthew, and for a while the scene became even more chaotic and uncontrollable.
Matthew didn't care about this at all, and continued to shout, "Now I'll give you another ten minutes, and if the money hasn't arrived, you can prepare to collect the bodies of your relatives and friends!"
Although Matthew temporarily withdrew from the scene, the scene could no longer be calm, and people began to turn into fierce beasts, turning their anger at the officials.
"What the hell is going on? Is the guy who just showed up a terrorist, and why didn't you tell us about it?"
"That's it, you kill these terrorists immediately and rescue me!"
"Quickly inform the Luna Group, first meet their conditions, we have to rescue people!"
"Save people!
All kinds of noisy voices are in the dust, and the Metropolitan Police Department, which is in charge of the work, is already helpless about this, and does not want to make it even worse now, and even the peripheral scene cannot be controlled, let alone implement the rescue plan.
Paper Kite's lips trembled and said to Hugo: "You... Did you see that? There are really terrorists, Sister Wan, she... She's in their hands..."
Hugo frowned in contemplation, unlike the others, his attention was more focused on Matthew's performance just now.
It was too far away from Matthew to see the details, but Hugo felt that Matthew's calmness about flames was not just what kind of fire-resistant clothes he was wearing.
That's definitely a blasphemous ability that can manipulate fire!
After all, there are still new human beings in this world.
Hugo realized that as long as he appeared in this world, then the power of the blasphemer would also appear, and Hugo and it could be said that they were interdependent.
Even if Paper Kite and Chitose Hara don't become desecrators, and even if Yoo Masayoshi doesn't go far into prison, the state of affairs will already cover a certain set direction. People who seem to be able to avoid disaster will eventually be drawn into this vortex.
Hugo pondered for a moment and then said to the paper kite: "You wait for me here, I'll go back when I go." Without explaining more to the paper kite, he rushed into the crowd.
"Hugo!" the paper kite looked at Hugo in surprise as he quickly disappeared into the crowd, and for a moment he didn't know where to go.
Hugo was huddled in the crowd, looking for an opportunity to enter the scene of the fire.
Even though Hugo is almost a "mortal" now, he can't stand by and watch all this.
In Hugo's mind, these things are caused by himself, so it is his responsibility to solve them.
At this time, Hugo could not estimate whether the world was real or false, and he had only one thought in his mind, to save those innocent people.
Because the scene is bustling, almost out of control, it is easy to find a chance to infiltrate the vulnerability.
Hugo took advantage of the unpreparedness of several sheriffs, who were busy dealing with the emotional crowd, to jump over the cordon, and at the same time lowered his body and quickly shuttled through the shadows superimposed on each other between the tall buildings, and in an instant Hugo was at the bottom of the building.
The windows on the first floor of the building had already been smashed in the chaos, and Hugo jumped into the broken windows with a lot of energy.
When Hugo entered the building, he felt a scorching wave of air rushing over his face. Hugo frowned, thinking that the fire was spreading more than he had imagined.
Hugo quickly calculated in his heart, the location where Matthew appeared just now was about the twentieth floor, and it was really impossible for him to reach the twentieth floor without any protective gear, maybe he would be engulfed in flames halfway.
But there really isn't any good way to do it right now, and you can't expect an elevator to get you to Matthew safe and sound.
Hugo quickly glanced around, but saw a glass kettle lying on the ground not far away, and most of it contained half a pot of water. Hugo immediately took off his coat, poured water on it, then covered his mouth and nose with it, gritted his teeth and rushed straight into the safe passage.
