There was no black man Big at the door of the bar, and no one else to take his place, and after Cuckoo became Mr. Du's successor, Dim Light no longer had the same strong importance to him as before, and now it looked like a normal bar.

But when Hugo walked into the bar, he found that Dim Light was still as quiet as before, and it was completely empty as far as the eye could see, and it was clear that even if Cuckoo's energy had been diverted, it was not something that anyone could easily enter.

The bar's melodious music reverberates, but it's not from the PA system, but an elderly musician playing the saxophone on a small and inconspicuous stage.

The soft light shines on the old musician's old jacket, revealing a hazy sense of antiquity, quite vicissitudes, as if he has stepped out of the former American Westworld.

In the corner of the bar sat a figure, Hugo could tell the back of an old man, and his intuition told him that it was the person he wanted to see.

When Hugo walked to the old man's side, the old man had already taken the lead in turning his head to look at Hugo and smiled faintly: "Oh, little friend, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

Hugo was slightly stunned when he saw the old man, and then he chuckled and said, "Indeed." With that, he was already beside the old man.

Hugo had recognized the old man as the old scholar he had met on the train to the 23rd arrondissement, and Hugo did not know the identity of this person at the time, but now he knew the identity of this person, Simon Wilson.

"It's been hard along the way, let's have something to drink. Simon Wilson didn't ask Hugo's opinion, but picked up the bottle in front of him and poured it directly into an empty glass.

In the light that was not very bright, Hugo did not distinguish the color of the wine for a while, but he still took a sip from his glass.

"Well, right?" said Simon Wilson, smiling.

"Because you greeted this place first, there was no one else but this old musician when we arrived, and this bottle of wine was prepared in advance, well, authentic wine tasting, everything is thanks to you. ”

When Hugo received Tanaka's message, he experienced a brief shock, so he replied to Tanaka's message and contacted Mr. Du, who did not reply to Hugo personally, but Lanzi prepared everything for him, and emptied Dim Light in the first time.

Simon Wilson picked up his glass and shook it gently, his deep eyes admiring it.

Hugo sniffled and said, "It's not a blessing, it's just a friend's help." ”

Simon Wilson smiled: "I really don't see that you will have such a relationship here, I think many people ignore your strength." ”

Hugo shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's a good thing to a certain extent. ”

Simon Wilson said, "That's true. ”

Hugo looked at Simon Wilson and said, "You know me very well, and I don't know you yet, so in order for the conversation to go smoothly, you might as well introduce yourself." ”

Simon Wilson smiled and said, "So how much do you know about me?" ”

Hugo thought for a moment and said, "Aside from your name, I only know that you are Simon Harrison's younger brother." ”

Simon Wilson laughed, "That's enough, in fact, many people in this world know only so much about me." ”

Hugo said: "I have lost a lot of memories, including Professor Simon, and I have forgotten all about it, despite the fact that when I regained my memory, I immediately investigated its information, and as a result, I saw your information, you can't imagine how surprised I was at that time." ”

Simon Wilson said: "You don't know how shocked I was when I learned what I looked like and who I was, and I couldn't believe my eyes when a simple-looking and friendly young man sitting next to you turned the continent upside down. Haha, I can only say that everything is made by fate. ”

Hugo nodded and said, "That's true, fate is really interesting." It made us meet for so long, and only then did we sit down and talk about things again, and now I just think that our encounter was so unreal. ”

"Haha, I feel that way too. Simon Wilson also laughed, and the two people, old and young, seemed to be long-lost old friends who missed each other.

"I guess you're not that 'Prometheus'. Hugo took a sip of his wine.

"Well, the young man went to the toilet, and he didn't drink anything, but he kept going to the toilet, obviously he was nervous about seeing you. ”

Hugo nodded and looked around, and found a young man sitting at a loose table not far from the old soloist, whose eyes were on Hugo's side, and when he saw Hugo looking at him, he was stunned for a moment, and then nodded to Hugo with a forced smile.

"Don't talk to the kid too much, let him calm his nerves. Simon Wilson said.

Hugo turned to Simon Wilson and said, "Looks like you had a lot to say to me before him." ”

Simon Wilson said, "Don't you want to talk to me about something?"

Hugo said: "I do have a lot of questions, but I don't know where to start for a while. ”

Simon Wilson said: "Don't worry, just think slowly, you and I don't need to catch an emergency flight anyway." ”

Hugo pondered for a moment and then suddenly said, "Do you know Simon Harrison?"

Simon Wilson smiled, "Of course I do, he's my brother." I've known him since he was a kid playing bare-bottomed in the yard, and I know exactly what kind of girl he had a crush on when he was a teenager. Trust me, there's not a lot of information you can find online. ”

Hugo said: "So do you know about the 'Creation God Project'?"

Simon Wilson nodded, "Of course, this is a plan that is crucial to his life. ”

"Are you part of the project?"

Simon Wilson shook his head and said, "My brother and I have completely embarked on two paths, he pursues self-transcendence, and all I pursue is fame and money. Although our brotherly relationship has never been separated by differences in philosophy, we have completely no intersection in terms of work. ”

"Then you should also know the purpose of the 'Creation God Project', right?"

Simon Wilson nodded and said, "That's right, haha, although my brother didn't want me to reveal the specific plan, but the ultimate purpose of the project still told me." ”

"And what is your attitude towards the 'Genesis Project'?"

Simon Wilson shrugged his shoulders and said, "What attitude can I have? He is my brother, I have been absolutely right all my life, my brother who is better than me in everything, the brother who makes me easy to profit in life and work, and reduces a lot of unnecessary troubles." You say that he made a decision, why should I not support him? In fact, I provided a large part of the initial start-up capital of the 'Genesis Project'. ”

Hugo smiled: "You are indeed a righteous brother. But have you never questioned your brother's actions?"

Simon Wilson raised an eyebrow and said, "Do you mean everything that's happening now? ”

Hugo said: "Although the goals pursued are different, you are also a good scientist, don't you think that your brother's plan is extremely crazy?"

Simon Wilson shook his head and said, "Madness is the daily life of scientists, otherwise how would the world be realized today? People are still waiting for the fire to come and get a delicious barbecue." ”

Hugo said: "But the experimental target of the 'Creation God Project' is directly directed to humans, and it is..." After a pause, Hugo continued: "... Or us ignorant kids. ”

Simon Wilson took a sip of his wine and said, "Indeed, this is indeed against the ethical bottom line of scientists. It's just that... What happens later is something that no one could have predicted at first, and when things do, a lot of things are out of anyone's control..."

"Oh, really? But as far back as I can remember, Professor Simon, he had countless chances to stop the project, but he didn't. ”

Simon Wilson nodded and said, "If it were someone else, maybe none of this would have happened, but that's my brother, my brother who has never tasted defeat in my life." ”

Then Simon Wilson put his elbow on the table and said to Hugo: "Do you believe that there are people in this world who are favored by God? ”

"Since childhood, I have been extremely intelligent, and I have never forgotten the content of all the books. Be in good health and good at sports. He is sunny and cheerful, has leadership skills, and everyone who has seen him and spent time with him has praised him. Whether it is study or work, it is smooth sailing, and he has achieved world-renowned results at a young age, haha, I think Nikola Tesla will be jealous of him to death. ”

This life did not accompany him for a while, but almost throughout his life. It can be said that his name was destined to be written in the history books since he was born, and all he considered was how to increase the number of footnotes. ”

"So do you think such a chosen son will willingly choose to admit defeat and give up when faced with the continuous failure of the last experiment in life he designed? Haha, absolutely not. Unless God is going to take him to heaven, he'll keep fighting. ”

"I don't know if he was blessed by God himself," said Hugo, "but I'm sure Lucifer whispered in his ear, and the words went deep into his heart." ”

Simon Wilson smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Maybe, Lucifer is really going to love this scene now." ”

Although Hugo has a great grudge against the "Creation Project", he also knows that his simple struggle with this issue will not have any effect, even if Simon Wilson kowtows to his brother and his own actions, the reality will not change in any way.

"I know my brother's mood and obsession, and no one in this world knows him better than me. Speaking of which, I am a little worried and skeptical about my brother's thoughts. But... As I said earlier, my brother was born with glory and success, and his achievements have influenced not only him, but also me. Think about it, when someone close to you has been doing the right thing, and one of them has been doing it for decades, then when he comes up with a crazy idea, although you will be shocked, but there will also be a faint feeling in your heart... Trust and expectation. ”

This mood Hugo is understandable, just like the paper kite, the powerful paper kite has protected the Manken Society for several years, and it has become the spiritual totem of the people in the entire Manken Club, and even Hugo, who has not known the paper kite for a long time, will trust her very unconditionally. But in fact, although the paper kite is powerful, it is not an omnipotent god, and it can also be injured and face life-threatening conditions.

"More than ten years ago, when disaster completely befell Dongdao, I realized that my brother, who had never failed, had finally achieved the first failure in his life, and it was such a tragic and irreparable failure. It's just that it's too late. ”

Hugo pouted and said, "After the destruction of the East Island, Professor Simon did not die, but returned to the metropolitan area, right?"

Simon Wilson nodded and said, "It was the seventh day of the incident, and my brother finally appeared in front of me, and at that time, he... It's not like him. It felt like I was facing an extremely ordinary man. ”

Simon Wilson recalls the past with a solemn face, as if he is trying to grasp the feeling of the past, and he can also see the state of Simon Harrison at that time from its realization.

"Hmph, it's too late. Hugo sneered, and then said to Simon Wilson: "As far as I know, Professor Simon should not have passed away by now, do you know where he is?"

Simon Wilson shook his head and said, "The last time I saw him was about five years ago, when he was finishing another project and was about to experiment with another project. However, it was at that time that he was betrayed by his own students, and his whereabouts are still unknown to this day. ”

Hugo said, "Who is that student?"

"You should be familiar with him as well, that student is your friend Liu Zhentong's brother, Liu Zhenmin. ”

Hugo was silent, and after a moment he took a long breath.

Layers of truth unfold in front of it, but along with the truth there are more intertwined intertwineds.

Hugo knew that Liu Zhenmin's mystery was not simple, but he never knew that Liu Zhenmin would have a connection with Professor Simon, but through the decryption of the relationship between the two, many things began to become clear.

Simon Wilson said quietly: "Things are so unpredictable, and if my brother were still here, many things might really have a solution." ”
