Chapter 172: Why bother
Hugo is not familiar with Su Zhen, but in fact, it is not the first time they have met.
As early as when Hugo first met Gao Yang in the "Experimental Building", Hugo had met Su Zhen, and this beautiful female teacher left a deep impression on him at that time. But after that, the two never crossed paths.
And tonight is the second time the two have met, but this time Su Zhen made Hugo feel another way. Su Zhen's slight temperament made Hugo feel a little familiar, and this inexplicable familiarity made Hugo very confused, so Hugo tested Su Zhen, but Su Zhen responded lightly.
Although Su Zhen did not tell Hugo his name, he still mentioned Gao Yang. Su Zhen thought that the connection she had with Hugo could only be through Gao Yang, but the complexity of the matter was far beyond her imagination.
When the name Su Zhen kept flashing in Hugo's mind, Hugo finally searched for something about that familiarity in his memory, to be precise, a person - Su Wan.
When he thought of this, Hugo's eyes instantly came to his senses as if he had been empowered. There are strong similarities between the two, they are both fascinating women, very charming and seductive of mature women, and that kind of temperament is extremely rare. And the charm of the two does not seem vulgar, both Su Zhen and Su Wan have a unique intellectual beauty, which is also the reason why Hugo was sure of it immediately after he had this idea.
Hugo firmly believes that no matter what the facts are, it is very likely that there is some kind of close connection between Su Zhen and Su Wan, and the sisters are the most realistic ones. Judging by her appearance and age, Su Zhen should be her sister.
This conjecture and connection is indeed very bold, but Hugo tells himself that he should trust his instincts, and that such an extremely coincidental thing may not happen, wondering how he would have thought that the girl he rescued in the rain alley would be Zhilan's sister.
After thinking everything through, Hugo immediately decided to use Su Zhen as a breakthrough, and when he was close to Su Zhen, he had already taken an offensive action to put pressure on Su Zhen, and at the same time, in order to break through Su Zhen's psychological defense in a short time, Hugo decided to take a risk.
He whispered two words in Su Zhen's ear, which was Su Wan's name.
Sure enough, when his sister's name was coldly said from Hugo's mouth, Su Zhen's brain instantly went blank, and a sense of fear arose spontaneously in his heart and spread rapidly.
That is, at the moment when Su Zhen's psychological defense line collapsed, Eva's consciousness soul invaded rapidly through the palms of Hugo and Su Zhen's clenched hands, and in an instant, Eva read the memory of Roger taking out the "two-color apple" potion.
Eva then quickly synchronized this memory to Hugo, which is the ins and outs of this "weird" event.
Now what Shen Ming wants to greet is Hugo's endless anger.
Hugo's gaze has become more and more cold, and he is extremely angry at what Tianying has done, Rogerd's ultimate goal is to kill himself, but he does not hesitate to use Jasmine, which Hugo cannot accept.
Shen Ming also stared at Hugo, and soon the initial surprise in his eyes gradually faded and returned to his usual calm.
"It's amazing. Shen Ming said sincerely.
"It's not what I want to hear. Hugo said coldly.
"You have done unforgivable things to Jasmine!"
Shen Ming nodded and said, "Maybe." ”
Shen Ming's attitude can be said to have intensified the anger at the scene even more, and no matter who felt the smell of gunpowder.
Hugo said coldly: "In that case, none of you can leave here!"
The skin of the face was completely torn, and in the next second, the two sides might really draw their knives against each other.
Mi Luoyang on the side was already a little anxious when he saw this situation, it was impossible for him to protect Shen Ming in this situation, and it was impossible for him to be on Hugo's side. The scheming hunter leader was also in a state of helplessness for a while.
But Shen Ming's expression was still calm, as if everything was under his control now.
"You want to force us to stay? Shen Ming said lightly.
Hugo said coldly: "Do you think I shouldn't be confident?"
Shen Mingdao: "You have the capital of self-confidence, but do you really have the strength to fight against everything?"
Hugo understood that Shen Ming was putting pressure on him with a sense of the big picture. It is true that he can forcibly leave Shen Ming and Su Zhen behind, but at that time, Tianying will also take a very short path, whether it is the Holy Church or the Manyan Society, they will not want to have a "crazy opponent" with such strength as Tianying.
And if the two sides reach a stalemate, the nine hunter strength represented by Mi Luoyang will also make a choice, and in the case of choosing one of the two, the choice that Mi Luoyang will make is not difficult to predict.
It's a fearless coercion, where every step is tight and you can't fight back.
The spearhead of the instantaneous disadvantage has been pointed at Hugo.
Hugo looked at Shen Ming coldly, this person who had a teacher-student relationship with him for a few days had already calculated his blows to himself, and he did everything he could. Shen Ming even gambled his life in this persecuted gamble, and his spirit in breaking the cauldron was not endless.
Faced with this situation where there was no choice, a sneer suddenly appeared at the corner of Hugo's mouth, and everyone took in this smile, and their hearts were tense again.
"Director Shen is really calculating, it seems that Tianying has no sincerity in negotiating from the beginning. Hugo's gaze then swept over Shen Ming and Mi Luoyang's faces one by one.
Shen Ming said: "Tianying accepts peace talks, but does not accept threats. ”
Hugo sneered and waved his hand and said, "It's already this time, Director Shen shouldn't talk about any principles, it will only make me feel ridiculous." ”
"Anyway, when I applied for the exam and studied at Tianying Middle School for a while, although there were conflicts and unpleasantness between the two sides, I never thought of solving all this in some extreme way. ”
Then Hugo said to Shen Ming with a glittering gaze: "I know that the incident of Dunk Island made you very annoyed at the beginning, but just as many things are involuntary to us, there are also many things that are not exactly as you want. ”
Then he turned his head to Mi Luoyang and said, "I can sit here tonight, and I also have a trust in you, although you and I can never be friends, please accept my respect for you." ”
Hugo's words left Miloon speechless, not because he apologized to Hugo for what was happening in front of him, but because he smelled a very dangerous smell from Hugo's words. And as it turned out, his instincts were absolutely correct.
Soon Hugo turned his head to look at Shen Ming and said, "You can take the crown of victory away, this is your honor, and it is also Tianying's long-lost victory." ”
"You can get out of here unharmed, or even take Jasmine with you for a great victory. Believe me, I'm not a narrow-minded person, I respect anyone, especially the strong. I'll visit if I can, after all, the 'Minova Shrine' is not too far from here. ”
When the word Minova Shrine came out of Hugo's mouth, Shen Ming's face completely distorted.
...
The night covers the land, and the buildings pull out long shadows under the light, creating a deeper "darkness" in the night.
The two cars pulled out of the Malfoy Apartment parking lot and into the middle of the road.
Perhaps because the 13th arrondissement was so noisy last night, the road at this time was completely devoid of the constant traffic that passed through it in the past, and it seemed quite deserted and dreary.
A short time later, the two cars entered a parallel multi-lane section and stopped side by side at a red light.
While waiting for the signal light, the window of one of the cars was slowly lowered, and then Mi Luo's face was seen poking out of it.
But the windows of the other car did not roll down.
Looking at the closed carriage, Mi Luoyang just shook his head slightly and smiled bitterly: "Why bother." Then the windows went up and closed.
The red light flashed a few times before going out, and then the two cars started their engines again and headed in opposite directions at the intersection.
...
Jasmine sat on the couch and stared straight ahead.
Everything that happened to Shicai kept echoing in front of her eyes like a marquee. At this moment, she fully understood that she was almost pushed over the death line.
...
Minova Shrine.
The secret that Tianying wanted to keep most at this stage was finally known by Hugo.
It's just that Hugo's way of learning is not through the heart furnace of [Slaughter], but through Su Zhen's brain memory.
When Hugo said the name of Minova Shrine, the tide of the battle was reversed again, and this time Shen Ming had no possibility of turning the tables, and everything was finally settled.
Miloon's body began to relax, and he knew that no matter what happened, it didn't matter, because Tianying had to make a compromise with Hugo.
After a long silence, Shen Ming finally put his hand into his trouser pocket, and then took out a closed capsule-shaped test tube from the total, the closed marbles in the test tube did not move their positions, and the two red and green solutions were also intact.
Shen Ming flicked his fingers and threw it at Hugo, Hugo reached out and grabbed it, and Shen Ming's faint body temperature remained on the test tube.
"Are you relieved?" Shen Ming said coldly.
Hugo looked at the test tube and then at Shen Mingdao: "Now how do you still make me believe in you?"
Shen Ming didn't answer Hugo, but said coldly: "You won." ”
After saying that, he left without looking back, Su Zhen looked around for a while, and then nodded to Jasmine and said, "Take care." So he got up and departed.
Finally, there was Miloon, who said to Hugo: "Congratulations. ”
Hugo said: "Thank you for your help. ”
Mi Luoyang shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's also thanks to you." ”
Hugo suddenly said: "Will we be enemies next time we meet?"
Mi Luoyang shrugged his shoulders again and said, "Maybe not, maybe it is." Then he followed Su Zhen and left.
The confrontation that was tense a few days ago has disappeared in an instant.
...
To this day, a sense of unreality still haunts Jasmine, and she can't believe that she has escaped the prisoner-like predicament of Minova in the deep palace and reached Hugo's side, and this sudden change in environment makes Jasmine feel uneasy and frightened, although the scene in front of her has been her fantasy for a long time.
Hugo then guarded the "two-colored apple" into a dark compartment on the table in front of him, and then looked at Jasmine with some embarrassment.
At this time, facing Jasmine, who was completely out of danger, Hugo felt that he didn't know how to face it. This girl, who was once quite close to her, has completely changed her appearance.
The simple, lively jasmine full of the rhythm of life is gone, replaced by endless confusion and worry.
And all this can be said to be indirectly caused by Hugo.
In this way, the two have been in a relatively silent silence, and no one has spoken a word to them first.
In the end, it was Hugo who broke the peace and said to Jasmine, "Are you okay?"
Jasmine's body shuddered, and then she turned to look at Hugo, her eyes full of indescribable emotion, and she nodded slightly.
Hugo swallowed a mouthful of foam and said, "Don't worry, now you're safe." No one will be able to hurt you here, absolutely!"
Jasmine looked at Hugo, who was a little at a loss, and suddenly she wanted to laugh. Because at this moment, Hugo is completely different from the teenager who can talk and laugh and relax freely in the face of Shen Ming, Mi Luoyang and other adults just now.
Jasmine suddenly thought that her former self was also in this "unconfident" state in front of Hugo.
Hugo looked at Jasmine's suddenly blooming smile with some consternation, and felt a little stupid for a while.
That innocent smile was exactly the same as the Leaping Elves I had seen on the rooftops of District 23, as if it would never be disturbed by the worldly things. Recalling those good pasts, Hugo unconsciously laughed.
The two young men smiled at each other like this, as if they were a couple in love, and they were sincerely happy when they saw the smiling faces of their lovers.
But good things are always short-lived, and the cruel reality will eventually be put in front of the two.
The laughter will also subside, and a touch of solemnity will appear on Jasmine's face instead.
"Hugo, I have a question for you, please answer it truthfully. Jasmine said, though her tone was still calm, but if you notice her chest, it has begun to rise and fall violently.
"Please. It didn't take Jasmine to guess what she wanted to ask.
"Are you really a pulsatilla?" Jasmine's voice was a little hoarse.
Hugo was surprised by this question. Because as far as he knew, the secret of the pulsatilla was no secret for a long time. Many aspects of the forces can teach him his true name.
If it is believed that Jasmine also knew about this, but she eventually asked Hugo for an answer.
Hugo felt an inexplicable cramping pain in his heart, he didn't want Jasmine to suffer, but he also didn't want to use lies to deal with the other party.
Hugo understood that truth cannot be hidden forever by lies.
In the end, Hugo nodded with difficulty and agreed: "That's right, it's me..."
“… I did everything. ”
