Chapter 3: The Beginning and the End

In the middle of the night, Sayuri slowly opened her eyes, bright like a pair of night pearls.

"Awake?" a cold voice sounded in his ears.

Sayuri turned her head to follow the voice, but saw Hugo sitting beside her, looking at her calmly.

Sayuri stared at Hugo, her pupils seemed to be condensed, and after a while, Sayuri said lightly, "You're here." ”

"I'm coming. Hugo's tone was equally flat.

"When I first woke up, I knew you were going to be there soon, so I rested as soon as I could. At this, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Sayuri's mouth.

Hugo said: "You know I have too many questions for you. ”

Sayuri said: "So many years have passed in the blink of an eye, and it is natural that there are some questions, but I can't guarantee that I can answer all your questions." ”

Hugo looked at Sayuri intently, and after a long time, he said slowly, "Is Thirteen still there?"

Hugo looked at each other for a long time and said, "You really saw it." ”

Hugo was speechless for a long time, and the most ominous premonition in his heart finally became a reality.

But when this reality came out of Sayuri's mouth, Hugo still found it difficult to face.

Hugo only felt that his throat was a little hoarse, and he could not make a sound.

Sayuri sensed Hugo's mood and comforted him, "But she shouldn't be dead yet." ”

Should...

This word proves that Sayuri is not completely sure about this matter either.

"What the hell is going on?" asked Hugo dryly.

"It's a long story. Sayuri's eyes showed an incomparably declining affection.

"I have a lot of time to listen. Hugo said resolutely.

Sayuri smiled: "But I don't have much time, my body is still very weak now, and I need time to rest and recover." ”

Hugo said in a deep voice: "If I could have waited before, but now I am in a hurry. ”

Sayuri said, "I know there's something going on out there, but I'd like to say that these things don't have much to do with Thirteen. ”

Hugo said: "According to my investigation, everything is involved, not unrelated. ”

Sayuri said: "I understand this truth, it is the so-called trigger and move the whole body, but related events are also divided into direct and indirect, and the relationship between the two cannot be determined because of the impact, the destruction of the East Island is undoubtedly a fuse for all events now, but how did this fuse come about? It is nothing more than because of human greed and civilization." ”

Hugo said: "There are few survivors in Dongdao, who experienced a catastrophe at the beginning, and since you and I are from the same place, you should tell me some truth, not to mention that this truth involves our mutual friends." ”

"Friend," Sayuri muttered softly, and then said to Hugo, "After all these years, do you still think Thirteen is a friend?"

Hugo said: "Although a lot has happened, I don't think there is a choice for everything until you destroy the stone monument of Tritoglaia, so even some mistakes are worth understanding. ”

Sayuri said: "After so many years, you are still so gentle. ”

The word gentle sounded a little uncomfortable to Hugo's ears, after all, no one in the world had ever said such a thing to her.

Sayuri said, "When Thirteen was there, she regarded you as her only friend, and although she didn't say it too explicitly, she was definitely attracted to your temperament. ”

Hugo knew that Professor Simon had used himself as a "bait" to get the children to compete with each other and get a "very good" result, which eventually paid off, and Thirteen was born.

Sayuri said, "I didn't have any contact with you before, but I was also full of curiosity about you. ”

"At first I was full of disdain for you, thinking that you were just a useless ornament, not even as good as a vase, and at the time I thought you were the biggest failure of Thirteen's life, because your presence undoubtedly exposed Thirteen's shortcomings. As a friend of Thirteen, I would not hesitate to kill you if I had the opportunity to make up for her shortcomings. ”

"However, after the destruction day, the appearance you showed can be said to completely overturn my previous cognition, and I have to say that it is impossible for others to do better than you. ”

Hugo said: "It's a fate..."

Sayuri said: "I really don't believe in such a thing as fate. ”

Hugo was silent for a moment and then said, "Since you have no resentment with me, can you tell me what happened to you and Thirteen?" ”

Sayuri closed her eyes with a tired expression, apparently still rejecting Hugo in her own way.

Hugo naturally couldn't use force to force Sayuri, and he could only sigh helplessly.

Sayuri seemed to close her eyes peacefully, and at the same time said to Hugo: "Sometimes things may not be as complicated as you think, and not everything is triggered and solved by you, in that case, you can only say that you are too self-conscious." ”

Hugo said: "I have always maintained a calm mind, it can be said that after my amnesia I gave up many things and no longer bear them, but fate doomed me to be unable to get rid of it, you killed me, and the reborn blasphemous ability brought everything back to the original track, you said you don't believe in fate, but I really feel its existence." ”

Sayuri said: "Your death is indeed... It was an accident, but I also noticed that there were inexplicable coincidences in the shadows. ”

Hugo suddenly said, "Is that man's soul also in your body?" and he asked the soul of the Akame-woman who had fought against him in the stone inscription of Tritoglaia.

Sayuri sighed lightly and said with her eyes half-open, "Maybe it's worse than that, when I rescued you from it, I did fall in love with Thirteen, but judging from the performance at the time, the threat wasn't great, but after that..."

At this point, Sayuri stopped abruptly, apparently realizing that if she said this story, she would inevitably involve a lot of things about Thirteen.

Hugo said: "That's why you killed so many innocent people." ”

At that time, there were not a few young students killed by the Akame shrine maiden.

Sayuri shook her head and said, "Not exactly, the reason why I killed people in the first place was to remove an obstacle, but in the end, I didn't succeed, and I didn't even touch the clues that came close." ”

Hugo's mind suddenly remembered the Zhizhi he had seen not long ago, and Hugo couldn't understand what kind of strong purpose prompted Sayuri to do such crazy things.

In this regard, Sayuri answered directly without Hugo's question.

"I was looking for a fool at the time. ”
