Chapter 10: The Determination of Pride
Listening to Hugo's sincere words, Akita only felt a warm current filling his chest.
Hugo said: "You and I have known each other for a long time, and I never expected that you would become what you are today." I don't know what I've been through you, but I can clearly feel that you are not consumed by darkness, which is extremely rare among most blasphemers. ”
Hugo exhaled lightly and said, "Maybe you are involved in the current events now, but I hope you can always keep yourself and not get too caught up in it." After a pause, Hugo smiled and said, "Even if it's not for others, you have to think about such a beautiful girlfriend." ”
Akita nodded solemnly, and then said with a red face: "Zhizhi she... Not my girlfriend yet. ”
Hugo smiled: "Love is something to be pursued, cowardice and discouragement will not help you in any way." Maybe her brother Sesame messed up the game last time, but I guess maybe it's just that the girl is shy on her first date or has a special situation as a last resort, and the next date will be your two-person world. ”
When Akita heard this, he unconsciously remembered the explanation that Zhizhi had explained to himself when they were separated last time, which was roughly the same as the situation analyzed by Hugo, and he laughed unconsciously.
Looking at Akita's honest smile that seemed to be back to the past, Hugo also laughed unconsciously.
"Love is really crazy. ”
The night breeze was blowing, and Hugo said, "It's not early, let's go back." Akita agreed, ready to return with Hugo.
At this moment, a sudden tremor and trembling sensation instantly filled Akita's whole body, and Akita only felt that his whole person was plunged into cold darkness and could not move.
Hugo took a few steps forward and suddenly turned to look at Akita and said, "What's wrong?"
Akita fell into a state of chaos for a short time, but he also recovered in a very short time. The body shuddered, and consciousness immediately returned.
"No... It's nothing..."Akita's voice became a little hoarse.
Hugo frowned and said, "Really nothing?"
Akita squeezed a smile on his face and said, "Maybe I've been outside for too long, and I'm just a little cold." ”
Hugo didn't look at Akita as if he was strongly stimulated, so he took what he said seriously. Hugo smiled: "I can't stand this bit of coolness, if you go to a place with snow, I'm afraid it's really bad luck." ”
Akita grinned, "If I'm not mistaken, only the 27th ward, which is in the far north, has snowfall in the entire Tsukishima Island, which must be within the range of the flowing streets." ”
Hugo shook his head and said, "I don't really know about that, but since it's in the far north, it should be the place where snow should be the most." ”
As he spoke, Akita had fully recovered, so he immediately took two steps forward and walked side by side with Hugo, returning to the Toyama apartment as if nothing had happened.
Although Akita had done a good job of hiding Hugo, the trembling feeling he had just now always echoed in his body.
And just as he was plunged into the cold darkness, a voice echoed in Akita's ears as if it had come from hell.
"Fate cannot be changed. ”
…
Late at night, Hugo sat down in front of Sayuri's bed again, looking at the quiet and beautiful face.
"Do you like it?" asked Sayuri, who had always kept her eyes closed, suddenly speaking to Hugo.
"It's beautiful. Hugo replied without hesitation, this is not a compliment, but a realistic matter, as a former national idol, the goddess of dreams in the hearts of countless people, how can Sayuri's appearance be mediocre.
"Thank you. Although Sayuri didn't open her eyes, she had a sweet smile on her face.
"It's been a while since I've heard a compliment on myself. Sayuri seems to be caught up in the memories of her past life.
"Maybe it's because you've heard so many of these things in the past that things are going to be where they are today. ”
Sayuri smiled after asking: "Things must be opposed, it is a very good word, although the words are short, they contain the most profound life truth." ”
Hugo looked at Sayuri and suddenly said, "If you don't make a move that day, you can still have everything." "What Hugo is referring to means that Sayuri brazenly killed the dome directly.
Sayuri said: "To be honest, I didn't think much of it at the time, but it was just because the woman was so crazy and too strong that it triggered the bloodlust in my heart, and at that moment I thought about how interesting it would be if I could kill this person with one blow." In the end, I put my impulses into practice, and God treated me well enough to grant me my wish. To be honest, the pleasure I felt when I killed that woman was unimaginable, and I felt like all the dullness that had been pressing on my heart for years was released in an instant. ”
Hugo said, "It's crazy enough. ”
Sayuri said: "According to rational analysis, compared to the price paid for killing that woman, I really don't gain more than I gain." ”
"First of all, I exposed my identity in front of people all over the world, and it can be said that I ruined all my future and my way of being a human being in an instant, and became the target of the Metropolitan Police Department. At the same time, I have a complete unresolvable hatred with TAROT, and even the hunter hounds in the nine places have learned that I have said that the heinous 'Akame Shrine Maiden' has suddenly turned me from a beloved star to an embattled fugitive. ”
Hugo knew that although Sayuri's words sounded miserable, in reality she was facing much more serious than that.
Hugo said: "Did you shoot that day because of me?"
If Sayuri doesn't make a move, Hugo, Arthur, and Lancerock will have to deal with the dome.
And "Lancerock" Marceau has long been destroyed by the dome, and the only people to face are Hugo and the young master of the moon god.
In this case, it is really difficult to say how the battle will end.
Sayuri thought for a moment and said, "Maybe, after all, if you die, many things in my life will become meaningless, but at that time it was not the main reason. ”
Hugo continued to stare at Sayuri.
"And do you have any regrets about it?"
Sayuri, who was lying on the bed, finally opened her eyes slowly.
"You should remember what I had besides national icons. ”
Hugo still knew what it was, and Sayuri was referring to the priesthood of Atlantis, a sacred position that had been passed down for more than 10,000 years.
Sayuri looked at Hugo proudly and said, "Since the sacrifice can't move my heart, what is the value of just an idol? If the incident can be repeated, I will still kill that woman again, and I will never regret it." ”
