Chapter Twenty-Five: Instant Strike
When Matthew saw Hugo outside the window, his mind was distracted and blank for a moment, and then, out of instinctive reaction, Matthew jumped to the side. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
In the next second, Hugo's fist had smashed the huge floor-to-ceiling window glass.
The futility of the air pressure outside the room was so futilely that countless glass shards rushed out of the room, and if anyone stood by the window, they would inevitably be pushed out by the air current.
Hugo slowly slid down into the room, and looked around slightly, but seeing that the room was brightly lit and bright as day, the room had been reorganized, and the mess left by the previous battle was long gone.
Matthew is still wearing a tight black trench coat, but his appearance has changed drastically. The original handsome and evil face was long gone, replaced by a face full of twisted and terrifying scars, which Hugo knew was caused by his own fire.
Matthew looked at Hugo, and suddenly laughed out loud, and his voice was very eerie. In Hugo's impression, Matthew is a very cold character, but according to the current appearance, Matthew's personality is more distorted than before.
"We're meeting again, Pulsatilla!" Matthew chuckled, his voice hoarse, because Matthew had broken his throat from the burning fire.
"It's nice to see me?" Hugo said as he looked at Matthew.
"Happy, of course!" Matthew's eyes widened, as if they were about to bulge out of his tattered sockets.
"You've changed your mask..."Matthew looked Hugo up and down carefully, filled with a warm feeling of seeing his sweetheart for the first time in a long time, which made Hugo feel very uncomfortable.
"Reverse cross... It looks simpler than the previous patterned mask, but it's more aesthetically pleasing. Matthew muttered.
Hugo couldn't stand it a little and interrupted Matthew's words: "You spent countless efforts to wreak havoc in the 13th arrondissement, just so that I could come to see you, you don't just want to talk to me about this, right?"
"No, no, no, of course not. Matthew shook his head, and Matthew stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, which had long since been burned in the previous flames, replaced by distorted dark red flesh.
"I'm looking for you to see you, of course, but... Hehe, you know why I want to see you. Matthew grinned.
"Revenge?" said Hugo coldly.
"Revenge? no! I don't take revenge!" Matthew was still laughing wildly, laughing as if tears were about to come out, which made Hugo feel very dangerous in vain, but Hugo did not notice any murderous intent towards him.
Matthew laughed for a while and said, "You think I'm going to hate you, but it's the opposite, I'm sincerely thanking you for making me more complete!"
"Complete?" said Hugo, a little surprised, he was really a little confused by the crazy Matthew in front of him.
"That's right, I was just a person who had nothing to do, really. Every day I wake up, I don't have any expectations, I don't have any hope, I don't have any life goals and motivation to live, I eat, drink, do things, and kill people. Haha, every day is like a machine in constant motion, hovering. Whether the weather is sunny or cloudy, it is the same in my eyes. No matter how delicious the food is, in my eyes it is just a necessity to fill my stomach. I work for others and get paid accordingly, like a lowly migrant worker living in the city. There is no color in my life, he is gray. Until I met you. ā
"I've heard of the existence of paranormal before, but I've never really seen it, you're the first one I've ever seen, oh yes, you seem to have been calling yourselves blasphemers all along, and more people are calling you new humans. Hehe, it doesn't matter what I call it in my eyes, it's just a code name, just like my name is Matthew, and many people call me an immortal bird, and in my eyes I'm just me. ā
"You're not like everyone else, you're the one who really opened up my world. I found that the life I had consumed before was completely wasted, and that I had never lived one day, without motivation or purpose. And from that day on, I had it all!"
Matthew said this, slowly opened his arms, slowly closed his eyes, and the whole person was immersed in his own world.
After a long time, Matthew opened his eyes, and there was clarity in his gaze. Matthew set his eyes on Hugo and said, "From that day on, my goal is to kill you. Matthew's tone was very flat, but it was also heartfelt.
"This is truly the most disgusting, horrible confession I've ever heard. Hitomi finally couldn't help but complain on the other side of the communicator.
Hugo was also very helpless by Matthew's words, and said, "It's up to you?"
"Of course I can't kill you. Unexpectedly, Matthew said seriously, with a very serious look in his eyes.
"I just said so much from the heart, do you think I'm in my right mind?" asked Hugo, pointing to the top of his burnt bare head. Hugo didn't ask him questions, but the answer was self-evident.
Matthew shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter, I'm not a crazy person anyway, at least not a fool." I don't have any magical abilities to fight you head-on, you don't fear voltage, you don't fear fire, and I'm already an immortal if I survive half a bottle of wine. The two of us can't stand on opposite ends of the scale, so naturally there is no possibility of equal confrontation, so although I want to take revenge, I really can't rely on my own ability alone. But..."
When Hugo heard this, the ominous feeling in his heart suddenly came to life, and the thought flashed in his mind, everything in front of him was not a crazy revenge, but a planned ambush, and Matthew's role was just a decoy.
In the next second, Hugo spread his butterfly wings and fell out of the window, he is not a person with heroic blind confidence, he has seen too many powerful blasphemers, if the other party has a careful plan, then he will only kill himself if he blindly goes deeper, so Hugo chose to retreat as soon as possible, although he has not yet felt the existence of a dangerous aura, but Hugo must be by his side, but he has not yet realized it.
Looking at Hugo who retreated, Matthew's face showed a smile, but the smile was not cold, if it weren't for his terrifying appearance at this time, he must have been very sunny.
Hugo fell out of the room, his body hanging in the air, and before his brain could analyze the situation at hand, suddenly a very flat voice came from behind him.
"Mr. Pulsatilla, I want to tell you one thing, you are not the only one in this world who can fly. Also, TAROT greets you. ā
Before he could react, a huge force had slammed into Hugo's back, and Hugo's eyes were pitch black, and the whole person fainted, his body crooked, and he fell from mid-air.
