Chapter Twenty-Five: A Seaside Town
Sitting on the sofa, Hugo only felt the incomparable fatigue and soreness around his body. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 infoAfter the young man who called himself a spider rescued Yiyi, Hugo also returned to the Malfoy apartment, in order to prevent himself from being followed, Hugo slowly turned around the neighborhood for more than an hour, and only after confirming that no one was following him, did he relax.
When the body and mind were completely relaxed and collapsed on the sofa, Hugo found that his physical strength and spirit were on the verge of exhaustion, and after a few simple words with Hitomi, Hugo turned on the TV and watched the news reports at night.
The news reported on the fire incident that occurred in District 13 tonight, but it did not report on the various visions that occurred at that time, and the whole article was very short, which can be said to be a brush. However, at this moment, Hugo did not have the same disdain and indignation as he had seen the vague report on the Khaki Luffer incident before, and Hugo did not want more people to know about what happened tonight.
What happened tonight made Hugo unable to digest for a while, the blasphemer, Yiyi, spider, these nouns and names kept flashing in Hugo's mind, and Hugo tried his best to sort out the connections between these things. Hugo thought of himself coming out of the black cocoon for the second time, and the bloodthirsty killing intent and impulse at that time made him feel inexplicably worried.
Although Hugo's spirit was extremely weak at the moment, Hugo didn't want to fall asleep yet, but just watched the midnight program on the TV in front of him with half-closed eyes, and his mind was sometimes awake and sometimes chaotic.
Drip, drip, drip.
A series of concise electronic sounds suddenly sounded, Hugo couldn't help but play a spirit, and after being a little more energetic, he found out that it was a call reminder from PMT, Hugo frowned, he couldn't think of anyone who could call him so late, and looked at the MEID displayed was encrypted and hidden.
Hugo answered the phone and fed, and then a hearty female voice sounded: "Hugo, it's me." ”
Hearing this, Hugo felt relieved, but he only said yes.
"I haven't been in touch with you for a few days, but it's all work. ”
"Well, I know. Hugo answered.
"I'm just in touch with you for the time being, and I have other work to do in the coming days, and I can't contact you at that time. ”
"Where are you?" asked Hugo.
"The rules of the organization, you can't say it. ”
Hugo shrugged his shoulders and said, "Just ask, don't be so serious." ”
"Well, all I can tell you is not on Earth. ”
Hugo was silent, and the phone fell silent, and after a long time, Hugo slowly spoke: "Pay attention to safety." ”
"Haha, I know, you can rest assured. A hearty voice with a nonchalant smile.
Hugo sighed and didn't say anything. However, a questioning voice came from the other end of the phone: "I received a message from your principal today. ”
Hugo pursed his lips and said dissatisfiedly: "Eventful!"
"Hey, that's what I'm asking, are you expressing your displeasure with me?"
Hugo tilted his nose and didn't answer, and a ridiculous voice continued to come from the other end of the phone: "It's okay, Hugo-san, you won't be able to deal with the war wreckage in a few days, and you will be able to deal with the mecha corps in a few years." ”
"That's not the wreckage of war. Hugo muttered under his breath.
"Oh, if it weren't for the wreckage of war, then the seriousness of the matter would have even exceeded my expectations. Hugo immediately stopped squeaking.
"I've checked the Malfoy Seven logs over the past few days, and found that you've deleted and changed a lot of things, including video recordings, medical examinations, etc., so it seems that you have a lot of things to hide from me. Don't tell me it's adolescent agitation. ”
Hugo: ......
"Okay, don't be too long-winded. I don't want to ask too much about you, but I hope you'll be safe and don't provoke those dangerous things. Although I am not on Earth, I also know that the nearest Moon Island is not very peaceful, and I hope they have nothing to do with you. The hearty voice said this in a slightly low voice, obviously from the heart.
Hugo didn't answer, just nodded silently.
"If you feel tired, go out and relax, and don't put too much pressure on yourself. ”
Hugo: "Well, no..."
"I'm done taking a leave of absence for you. ”
Hugo: ......
"I'll be able to go back in a few months, and I'll be ready to eat when the time comes. ”
Hugo: "That..."
Toot beet...
Hugo rolled his eyes helplessly holding up a blind PMT. Putting down the PMT, picking up the photo frame on the table next to him, looking at the girl with a bright smile on her face in the photo, Hugo viciously gestured a middle finger at it.
The turquoise waters rolled up layers of white waves and hit the beach, like broken jade. Countless snow-white seabirds in the sky let out a leisurely chirp, accompanied by the blowing of the sea breeze and echoed in the air for a long time.
Tsukishima District 23 is a beautiful seaside city and a well-known tourist destination, attracting countless tourists from all over the world to experience the charm of the sea during the local season. The city as a whole does not have many inhabitants, and the main source of income also comes from the developed tourism, and the architecture here is different from the high-density buildings of modern cities, but the small town tribal clusters modeled after the Aegean architectural style, with low houses of two and three floors built from the hillside, up and down.
The bright and warm sky-blue roof, the beige walls with slightly mottled traces, the uneven bluestone pavement under the influence of raindrops all the year round, the green light-colored moss growing in the cracks and ditches of the walls, and the natural fragrance of the earth in the sea breeze.
Since it is typhoon season in District 23, there are relatively few tourists, and the air is unusually humid under the slightly gloomy clouds, but it is very fascinating in this strange scenery, as if you have stepped into the rain in a fairy tale.
Hugo strolls along the bluestone pavement, looking around at the pleasant scenery around him, breathing in the cool and moist air, like a melancholy teenager thinking about his unknown emotions.
"Hey, there's not even a capsule toy machine, what a place this is!" Hugo complained dissatisfied.
Under the "well-intentioned advice" of others, Hugo really came out to travel and relax, and Hugo kept telling himself in his heart that he was not someone else's words, but that he really needed a good rest to relax in this tense state. Before leaving, Hugo expected very well, he could spend a pleasant and happy week in the beautiful seaside town, and after a brief greeting with Hitomi, Hugo came to this tourist resort, never thought that he would feel bored and tired after only staying for more than a day, Hugo suddenly missed Hitomi's teasing and warning in the headphones.
"Phew, I'm not shaking M!absolutely!" Hugo cried out in his heart, still wandering aimlessly through the alley.
The black moire on his body completely faded even in such a cloudy sky, and Hugo could not detect a trace of energy abnormality, and it seemed that his ability could not be exerted even if it was affected by the sun in such an environment. Only by getting rid of the darkness of the sun is the strongest, thinking of the characteristics of seeing light and dying that Hitomi said before, Hugo pursed his lips dissatisfiedly, but he had to admit that what Hitomi said was right.
After walking for a while, Hugo felt hungry, so he decided to solve the stomach problem first, and there was a semi-open-air café on the corner in front of him, and Hugo walked over.
The interior of the café is furnished in a very retro style, and the paintings on the walls are modern works from centuries ago, but Hugo still has little appreciation for this, and in his eyes the souls of characters such as Picasso and Dalí can never be interpreted by outsiders. The owner of the café was an elderly chubby middle-aged man with a large bald head, who smiled kindly, and wore a blue coat with a white apron over it. Looking at the fat boss in front of him, Hugo suddenly had the feeling of traveling through time and being in an era that did not belong to him.
After ordering coffee and a few snacks, Hugo sat at the small table and savored it. At this point, the sky became overcast, and a few drops of light rain fell and dripped into Hugo's coffee cup. Hugo turned his head to look at the bluestone pavement not far away, and the old alley had gradually disappeared into the thick of the steam. Looking at such a poetic picture, Hugo, who tasted the smell of rain, couldn't help but think of Su Wan inexplicably, and said leisurely: "I hope to meet, a girl like a lilac with a grievance." ”
