Hugo understood the struggle in Mr. Hua's heart, and he knew that although the man in front of him looked solemn and cold on weekdays, he was a warm and soft man at heart, and although he understood all the laws of struggle, he could not bear to use these cruel laws.

Hugo gently tugged at the sleeve of his shirt on his left arm, and then picked up the glass with the remaining wine.

"Sir, none of us would want to get to this point if we could, but fate is not something you and I can control, and even if we all die now, if we don't participate in these world battles, this world will not get better. ”

Mr. Hua took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes, he seemed to be much older at the moment, who had always been properly maintained.

Hugo said: "I know that the gentleman is unhappy with my reckless behavior, but I do not want to further escalate the conflict, I just want everything to come to the surface as soon as possible, and then resolve it quickly." If everything is always going on in a faint undercurrent, then only the innocent will suffer in the end. ”

Mr. Hua nodded and said, "I understand." ”

Hugo drank all the remaining wine in the cup, and without beckoning the old bartender to fill the wine for the two again, he stood up and said, "Have a good drink, let's drink here today." Then Hugo was leaving.

"I'll help you find what you're looking for. Mr. Hua suddenly spoke.

Hugo's body froze, then nodded and said, "Thank you." ”

Mr. Hua said: "But you also have to promise me to protect myself." ”

This time Hugo just nodded.

Mr. Hua finally asked, "When are you going to return to the metropolitan area?"

Hugo said: "I will meet someone here, and then I will go back." With that, Hugo left the mini-bar, leaving Mr. Hua sitting alone.

After leaving the bar, Hugo turned into another remote passage, which was deep and long, and walking in it could not help but give people the illusion of walking on the path of the underworld.

After meeting Mr. Hua, Hugo's mood did not feel happy, he felt unprecedented pressure, as his strongest comrade-in-arms, Mr. Hua had already questioned him, what about the others?

Hugo knew that his friend was not good, but his actions still risked losing a lot of the few friendships he had.

Thinking of this, Hugo's heart constantly added a few points of annoyance.

After turning around, Hugo pushed the door and walked into one of the rooms, where a tall bodyguard stood on either side of the door.

The room was very quiet, only the intermittent sound of dripping echoed, Hugo walked into the room, only to see Mr. Du lying in front of the huge hospital bed.

Mr. Du, who has not been seen for a few days, is much older at this time, and his whole person has lost a lot of weight in comparison, especially the palms of his hands are extremely dry.

He was wearing a white patient gown, his body was covered with magnetic sheets of various instruments, and all real-time data about his body were projected next to him, surrounded by four medical staff who were watching over him throughout the process, paying close attention to his physical condition.

When Hugo walked into the inner room, Mr. Du's eyelids trembled slightly and opened his eyes, even though his physical condition was quite bad now, but one of his eyes was still sharp.

"Stand down, you guys. ”

Mr. Du said in a not high-pitched voice to the medical staff around him, and several medical staff looked at each other, at this time they did not dare to leave their posts without permission, but they also did not dare to disobey Mr. Du's orders.

One of the leading doctors whispered a few words in Mr. Du's ear, then gestured to the others, and then retreated.

"Sit down, whatever. Mr. Du's left index finger was slightly raised, drawing a circle in mid-air, and the bed under his upper body still turned, raising the upper half of his body to a more comfortable lying height.

Hugo casually sat down on a chair, looked at the pale Mr. Du and shook his head, "Your situation looks very bad. ”

Mr. Du smiled and said, "I didn't lose an arm when I was your age. ”

Hugo shrugged his shoulders and said, "Times are changing, maybe in a few years, it will be a common and fashionable thing for humans to replace the righteous remains, and at that time you were just a handful of ashes in the decaying history." ”

Mr. Du smiled: "Hundreds of years ago, human beings fantasized about living like that, but until today, human beings still maintain the status quo, and it turns out that there is still a big gap between fantasy and reality. ”

Hugo said: "You are quite open-minded, with this mentality you will live a little longer." ”

Mr. Du said, "How long do you live?"

Hugo thought for a moment and said, "When you have no desire at all. ”

Mr. Du said: "Is a person who has no desire still a human being?"

Hugo said: "Dead man." ”

Mr. Du laughed when he heard this, but after only a few laughs, he began to cough, and the surveillance projection next to him immediately flashed a faint red light. Fortunately, Mr. Du's cough did not last long.

After he calmed down, Mr. Du said, "Have you seen the person you want to meet?"

Hugo nodded and said, "He's a very good doctor, I would have liked to bring him to see you." ”

Mr. Du said, "Oh, why didn't you bring it?"

Hugo said: "Because I suddenly understood that doctors can only heal diseases, not save lives." ”

Mr. Du smiled: "You young man really can't speak, even if you lie to me, an old man, at this time, it's good." ”

Hugo said: "It's a pity that he is not a liar, and if you listen to him, you may die on the spot." ”

Mr. Du raised his eyebrows and said, "If you say this, you underestimate me too much, you must know that my life is not smoother than yours." ”

With that, Mr. Du raised his head and looked at the ceiling above him and said, "Do you know why I chose my place of cultivation in this chaotic low-level casino?" Hugo shook his head slowly.

Mr. Du said: "This is where I was born, and this is where I grew up as a child, how is it, interesting? This place was a casino more than 60 years ago, and it also hosts the lowest class gamblers, and this has not changed for so many years. ”

"I don't know who my father is, not even my mother. She is a regular visitor here, and it is said that until the eve of her birth, she was shouting in the mixed halls to open cards and gamble. ”

Hugo smiled: "So you should have good gambling skills, right?"

Mr. Du shook his head slightly and said, "Otherwise, I would have seen through this place when I was seven years old." Those crazy gamblers are not abandoned by some fate, but they have abandoned themselves, and in their numbness, they are allowed to be deceived by lines of code and squeeze the only value left in their lives. Well... My mother was one of those people, and of course, in a chaotic world, women were always worth a little more than men, after all, she was still young at that time. ”

"After my mother passed away, I left the casino and didn't revisit it until 20 years later. That's when I renovated the place and kept it in its original state. I don't point to how profitable this place is for me, I just want this place to be preserved in this form, not for permanence, but for the sake of being able to accompany me through my life. ”

Hugo nodded and said, "It makes a lot of sense." ”

Mr. Du laughed again, and then said: "I was born in a casino since I was a child, but I am most tired of gambling, and I rarely gamble in my life, everything depends on my strength to fight, but I don't want to gamble on you in the last moment of my life." ”

Hugo said: "What is the chance of winning?"

Mr. Du thought for a while and said, "Sancheng." ”

Hugo smiled: "It's not small. And what about the returns?"

Mr. Du said: "I can't see what the return is, that's not what I care about, I just want to gamble once." ”

Hugo shrugged his shoulders and said, "Then why bother?"

Mr. Du said: "Don't you think it's more interesting to bet in the game, and in the end everything is paid by others." ”

Hugo smiled: "It sounds more like a way to harm others and not to yourself." ”

Mr. Du shook his head and said, "At least I feel happy now." ”

Hugo exhaled, and then said, "Whatever the purpose, I want to thank you for helping me." ”

"I accept thanks, but doesn't it mean much just to say that?"

Hugo said, "What then? I owe you a favor? How do you want me to reciprocate? Although I know someone who might save your life, she and I are enemies, so don't expect her to help you stay alive." ”

Mr. Du said: "It doesn't matter, you just need to remember to owe me a favor." ”

Hugo looked at Mr. Du, then blinked and said, "No matter what you have in mind, how can you be sure that I will definitely fulfill my promise?"

"That's your business. Mr. Du slowly closed his eyes, and some of the conversations with Hugo made him a little tired.

Hugo looked at Mr. Du's sleepy appearance and shook his head gently, and then he stood up again and said, "Don't disturb your rest, I have written down the matter." ”

Mr. Du closed his eyes and suddenly said to Hugo: "Do you think this world is interesting?"

Hugo was stunned when he heard this, and after a moment of silence, he said: "Although I am a victim of this world, from the perspective of one side I have to say... The world is interesting. ”

A smile appeared on the corner of Mr. Du's mouth when he heard this, and he said softly: "I see, it's a pity... It's a pity that I don't have much time left to perform in such an interesting world..."

"Goodbye, Hugo, take care. ”

...

Hugo left the inner room, leaving the room, and as he stepped into the hallway, he saw another shadow.

Hugo chuckled, "Are you okay?"

"It's fine. ”

Lanzi's body leaned against the wall, and the tight clothes outlined the delicate curves of her body.

"And what about Aaron?"

"Alive. ”

"Haha, that's good. Hugo said and walked in the direction of the exit.

"Just left?" Lanzi's voice suddenly sounded behind Hugo.

"Gone, there's a lot of time to bother you. Hugo said without looking back.

"Don't you want to meet the cuckoo?"

Hugo sneered, and said without stopping: "Don't wait, let's see you again." By the way, bring it to Aron for me. ”

...

By the time Hugo entered the casino, it was past noon, but it was even hotter.

Hugo raised his head and squinted at the scorching sun in the sky, then shook his head and said, "I should have begged for another drink if I knew it was so hot, where are you going to pass the time now..."

But what Hugo didn't know was that as he left the casino, a faint light flashed on a hidden camera outside the casino, and Hugo's distant figure gathered into a tiny dot on his lens.

...

It's night, and the time that belongs to the street of flow has come again.

Unlike the depression and uneasiness in the urban area at this time, this is always the best place to express your desires.

But Hugo was not in some crazy drunken place, but in a dilapidated and desolate ruin.

There is no shortage of magnificent and bizarre buildings in the street, and there is no shortage of ruins.

Hugo had just stopped and had been walking since he left Mr. Du's casino, he had walked a long way and thought about a lot of things.

Now that Hugo has arrived at his destination, he has figured out a lot of things.

Now he's going to end his journey here by meeting the last person he wants to meet.

Hugo found an open space, crossed his knees, made a meditative pose, and closed his eyes.

I don't know how long it took to meditate and rest, and a voice sounded faintly.

"You surprised me a lot, you found this place. ”

Hugo didn't open his eyes, but said calmly: "If you don't want people to know, you can't do it unless you do." ”

When the visitor heard this, he smiled and said, "You didn't want me to come here to tell me such a big truth, right?"

Victor Hugo said: "Truth is always truth, and its greatest characteristic is that it will maintain its own truthful nature." ”

The visitor smiled: "You look like a crazy old monk now, and your mouth is full of boundless wit. ”

Hugo said: "I didn't play any tricks, I just reminded you." ”

Then Hugo opened his eyes and said, "I can know that the new Victorian era began at this time, so will the fool not be aware of your second heart?"

The visitor was silent, but the solemnity of his expression could not escape Hugo's night eyes.

Hugo said: "I have only met that man once, but I know that he is definitely not a simple fellow. ”

"Do you have any good advice on this, then?" said the comer to Hugo.

Hugo shook his head and said, "In the face of such a person, it is impossible to defeat it alone. ”

"So what?"

Hugo said: "So I agreed to your request, I will give Sayuri to you, and you need to help me solve TAROT." ”
