Chapter Ninety-Three: The Human Path
The red clouds receded, and darkness enveloped them.
Whether it was the figure walking out of the gate or the grief left on the scorched earth, Hugo's vision gradually faded.
The world in front of him was chaotic and dark again, but his heart could not be as quiet as the world he was in.
Memories have been completely scattered and gathered from all corners of his mind, and finally he has completely recovered to his original state, and Hugo's soul has become completely complete.
However, just after the gap in his heart was filled, a bigger black hole was created in his heart.
He was born with an extremely impure purpose, he was not born from the crystallization of the love of two people, he was born from the synthesis of instruments in cold test tubes, and finally conceived in the laboratory cabin.
His life was entirely for the "Creation of God" project against the Tritoclea stone carvings, and his physical body was used as an instrument that could hold the power of the Tritoglaia stone carvings.
There may have been a large number of other babies at his time, but they were not as fortunate as they were, and died after coming into contact with the Terry Clea stone carvings.
Hugo could not be obtained from that experience, and it was considered to be a complete extinction and a long river of history, and after a few years they may be completely forgotten, but the tragic grief cannot be erased by the years.
Hugo believes that the experience may not be much less than the suffering experienced by Thirteen, Sayuri and others, but the person concerned is left with only himself, and he does not know anything about it.
Thinking of Thirteen and Sayuri, Hugo's heart is even more complicated.
He didn't expect that Thirteen had already merged with Sayuri, and the two had already become the same person.
The murderer who ran through his body in the rain alley and crushed his heart in front of his eyes turned out to be his dearest friend ten years ago, she saved herself countless times, gave herself the most tender friendship in the world, and finally killed herself, which made it difficult for Hugo to figure it out.
At the same time, a thought crossed Hugo's mind.
At that time, it was not Sayuri who killed him, but Akame Mikoto, and the person who was dressed in a strange costume and had the ability to do so now thinks that there may be someone else.
In the memory that Sayuri gave him, ten years ago, in the space carved in Tritoglaia, the Akame woman who had lost half of her soul ability gambled all her life to break the boat, and attached all her soul power to Sayuri's body, and it was at that time that there was another soul in this body with two souls, and this soul was most likely the initiator of the Akame shrine maiden.
As for why the later Akame Shrine Maiden attacked teenagers in large numbers, Hugo was still unclear for a while, but Hugo also realized that since he knew Sayuri, he had never seen her enter the state of Akame Shrine Maiden, and the reason for this would have to wait for the future to be revealed.
Now Hugo just wants to see Sayuri soon.
Friends who haven't seen each other for ten years, although the real relative may be silent, but the purest friendship will never change. The moment he learned Sayuri's true identity, Hugo forgave her, no matter how many times Sayuri killed her, he would not resent her, as she once said, he did not have this qualification.
However, Hugo still has two things that he can't understand.
One is that from the entire memory, the birth of the Tsukishima Blasphemer originated from the Day of Destruction of the East Island, and the ability of the Blasphemer was apparently given by Sayuri, who had mastered the power of Tritogramea's stone carving. However, as far as Hugo, who has fought with Sayuri and Akame Shrine Maiden, although Sayuri's strength is strong, it is not possible to cover the sky with one hand, and in Hugo's opinion, Sayuri's ability may not be as good as that of a great blasphemer like Paper Kite and Magician. This is really puzzling, if not conscientious.
The second is his resurrection, he was killed by the Akame shrine maiden, but then someone resurrected himself and gave the desecrate the ability, and now it seems that the person who gave the desecrate the ability is Sayuri. Then there is a slight unreasonable contradiction between the two before and after.
The two doubts lingered in Hugo's heart, but now Hugo had no time to think about this, and the most important thing was how to get out of this illusion of consciousness.
At this moment, Hugo began to ponder this matter, he had relied on Sayuri's instructions since he entered his consciousness, and in the hallucination, Hugo had been pursuing the truth of what had happened, and he had not thought about anything else at all.
Now that Sayuri is not by his side, where should he go?
Hugo exhaled deeply, although as a conscious spirit, he didn't need to breathe, but this subconscious action still made him suspend his emotional uneasiness.
There must be some way!
Hugo, who retried all his memories, had a strong sense of self-confidence in his heart, he had experienced great life and death in the Tritoclea stone carvings when he was young, and he was not afraid of the unparalleled danger at that time, and now he was only in this illusion of his own consciousness, so why worry about it?
All Hugo was anxious about was how long he had spent in this world after he entered the state of consciousness this time, maybe a day, maybe ten days, maybe a month, maybe longer.
And what kind of tremendous pressure is borne by the people who protect them around them, and has the situation in this world changed?
Hitomi, Sakura, Thangka... Faces appeared in front of his eyes.
These were his current friends, the people he had met since he left the East Island.
At the beginning, everyone may not have had an innocent purpose when they got acquainted, but after a long time together, everyone began to gradually trust and rely on each other.
Hugo's life was still in their hands, and he had no worries.
It's time to go back, and the beautiful barley tea will taste bad if you leave it for too long.
In the darkness, a faint smile appeared on Hugo's face.
Hugo closed his eyes, and his ethereal thoughts seemed to seep out of his consciousness.
In the dark illusion of consciousness, Hugo's body turned into countless crystal fragments, drifting towards the void.
Eventually, the fragments emitted a faint glow, and a silvery bay formed in the darkness.
This silver bay can't help but illuminate the dark world of consciousness, and at the same time illuminate Hugo's consciousness vision.
In the dark, Hugo saw a road, which was abstract and invisible, but Hugo knew that it was the direction he was going to go back.
Hugo embarked on this path.
Just like ten years ago, he embarked on the road to the world.
Ten years ago, he was ZERO.
Ten years later, he was Hugo.
Whether it's ZERO or Hugo, he's who he is, and the name is just a code name for him.
The code name could not bear the burden on his shoulders.
And the burden does not prevent him from following the path he has chosen.
