All of them were a trick of Derek, he was not frightened by Hugo's words, he was not overwhelmed by panic, he was not defeated by Hugo at all, and now he was like a victor, ready to reap his spoils: Hugo's panic, fear, anger.

But Derek didn't see the reaction he expected, although Hugo was a little surprised, the pair of amber pupils did not hide the surprise in his heart, but Hugo did not mess up, he also stood up, unhurriedly approached the barbed wire, the distance between the two was only the barbed wire, and then Derek heard Hugo speak:

"Do you have something you firmly believe in?"

Derek scoffed, "Yes, I believe that children are the best thing in the world—the source of my joy." With that, he also licked his lips, and the implication couldn't be more obvious.

Hugo was unmoved, and said with a look of pity, "I will not feel sorry for you, nor will I pity you or pity you, because you don't need to, but you yourself know where the fear, loneliness, and anger in your heart come from." Actually, it's yourself. You hate yourself, you hate yourself, you hate yourself more than anyone else. ”

Hugo's words were like a sharp blade stabbed in Derek's chest, causing Derek to open his mouth but not say anything. Hugo chuckled, "I would have mercy on you if you said that you were steadfast in your belief that potatoes are the most beautiful thing in the world." Because at least we still have something in common. ”

"What do you mean! What do you mean! Derek began to struggle, but the two guards grabbed him by the arms, leaving him unable to move. In fact, Derek knew what Hugo meant, and Hugo was saying that he was a beast, not a human. So he was completely outraged, and the metaphorical irony itself was pity for him.

Hugo silently looked at Derek's eyes, clouded by excessive anger, and reflected his own masked face in them, and only Hugo knew that the turmoil in his heart had completely swallowed him.

Hugo watched Derek's anger settle down little by little, and finally calmed down under the suppression of the prison guards, and he whispered, "You know what? I've always wondered what it's like to die; But I've never wondered what it's like to die in front of someone who can't wait to see your life disappear little by little, whether that gaze soaked in hatred, pain, and anger can corrode your soul little by little, and then watch you die away. ”

Hugo's voice was so light that it seemed to whisper in his ear that Derek needed even his full attention to hear it, but the words were like thunder, hitting his eardrums one after another, and his heart began to pound wildly against his chest.

He knew that he was going to be executed, of course he knew, he knew that he didn't have much left in his life, so he volunteered to help Hugo, because he wanted to enjoy the pleasure again at the end of his life, and wanted to see the picture of a self-proclaimed righteous man swallowed by fear and overwhelmed by ridicule in front of him. He rehearses such occasions.

But why did death come out of Hugo's mouth and make him so panicked?

Suddenly the image of his childhood came to his mind, his father's butcher-like smile, his father's hands clutching his neck, and his father's drunken ...... He could clearly feel his life dissipating little by little, he tried to struggle, he tried to call out to his mother, he tried to escape, but all the efforts were so powerless.

It was obviously a hot summer, but he was like falling into an ice cellar at this time, and that nightmarish suffocation came again.

Hugo's eyes widened, capturing the growing fear in Derek's eyes, as if he were drowning to survive, struggling in the fear of death, trying to grab onto a piece of driftwood, only to find that the aquatic plants under the water were entangled in his legs, and then pulled down and down.

Hugo knew he had finally found Derek's weakness - or indeed everyone's weakness, death. When death comes full of unknowns and darkness, the fear of the heart can easily magnify all weaknesses infinitely. Perhaps, only fanatical martyrs like Anonymous would not be afraid of death, they would face it calmly, and even embrace it feverishly; But in addition to this, even Amon Goss is afraid of death, because deep down he has struggled, and he can be counted as a human being.

Hugo found fear in Derek's eyes, and at the same time smelled darkness, and his whole person seemed to be drawn by the darkness, gradually swallowed by the darkness, but Hugo did not feel his strangeness at all.

"Congratulations, you can enjoy the process, you have enough time to feel the vicious gaze and the curse of resentment, you have enough time to feel the process of your soul tearing apart little by little, you have enough time to savor the ...... of death Pleasure. ”

Hugo's voice was like the murmur of death, making all of Derek's sanity completely disappear, he frantically hit the barbed wire, those eyes Yan zhòng spit out, like dead fish eyes, staring at Hugo viciously, roaring messily, "You son of a bitch, you are a piece of ****, I want to kill you, I want to kill you......" It was like the last blow of the beast.

Hugo didn't have the slightest fear, his expression became a little hideous, and he said word by word, "I'm looking at you, the family of the deceased is looking at you, those hateful eyes are looking at you......"

For the first time, Hugo's words lost his coolness, and became louder and louder, as if a dagger had been thrust into Derek's chest, his hands were propped up on the barbed wire, his muscles were tensed, and the anger and hatred that had been suppressed for a long time poured out like a tide, and frantically poured towards Derrick like a storm.

The prison guard realized that he could no longer let Hugo and Derek communicate, and the two of them pulled Derek back in unison, shouting loudly, "Hugo, calm down, calm down", and at the same time dragged Derek back to the cell, and Derek kept shouting "I'm going to kill you......

Outside, two prison guards also rushed over and tried to appease Hugo, but they didn't know what to do, so they could only keep shouting to Hugo, "Calm down, Hugo, you have to calm down, the interview must be terminated, you can't go on like this." ”

The whole scene became chaotic in an instant.

Hugo stood there and breathed heavily, watching Derek disappear behind the wooden door, and could faintly hear Derek's roar, fragmented but desperate, like his hands tearing apart the shards that had fallen after the night.

Hugo raised his right hand to stop the guards who tried to persuade him, and then supported his knees with his hands, breathing incessantly, calming himself down.

At this moment, Hugo only felt that his brain had become cold, not a decrease in temperature, on the contrary, his brain was boiling like a volcano at the moment, but he felt that the cold and bone-chilling darkness was eroding him little by little, and he not only didn't want to resist, but also let it go, as if he had witnessed Lucifer gradually degenerate from the Archangel of Light to the slave of darkness, the snow-white wings were stained with black, and the confrontation between black and white and the conflict between black and white in the process of transformation was spectacularly and beautifully presented in front of him.

In the beginning, Hugo approached the prisoners as a bystander, just as Sister Helen visited Matthew. But soon Hugo realizes the mistake of this approach, he is not "Sister Helen", but "Matthew", he should be part of the Angolan prison, he should be one of the abandoned people living in this penal land, he should be one of the prisoners.

Since then, Hugo no longer tries to understand the prisoner, but tries to understand the psychology of the prisoner in the process of committing the crime, and even the details of the crime. So Derek easily destroyed Hugo's defense at the first meeting, because the vivid picture was too powerful for Hugo to bear even the "prisoner".

Behind every criminal there is a sad story, and it is true that there must be pity for the hateful. Most of the criminals have mental illness, including the anonymous in the "Seven Deadly Sins", and as for Amon Gosna, it is a special case, which is a deformed product of the times. The so-called cold-blooded animals do not exist, even if they are really murderous demons without blinking, they are not created out of thin air, which has nothing to do with "the beginning of man, whether sex is good or sexually evil", it is just a process of transformation and determination.

Many mental illnesses come from the repression, oppression, fear, fear, and darkness of growing up. People never know how terrible the weight of a sentence is, maybe just one "I hate you" can change a child's life. After the negative energy accumulated bit by bit in the process of growing up, it exploded at one time and brewed irreparable consequences.

That's how Derek is.

Hugo's words that provoked Derek were all facts, including his family, his lover, his friends, and Hugo knew that Derek had a sad story behind him, but he had no way to sympathize with Derek. Not because he was hard-hearted, but because Derek's vivid story made Hugo feel that his hands were covered in blood, and he couldn't do it.

In the end, Hugo chose the most extreme and darkest way to confront Derek head-on. At that moment, in fact, there was no difference between the two ends of the barbed wire, both were a space of confinement, all were a space of exile, all were a space shrouded in darkness, and all were a space where demons were laughing wildly.

Suddenly, Hugo felt that his hands were also stained with blood, as if he had killed the last shred of hope and his soul with his own hands. But what is even more terrifying is that Hugo looked at his hands, he had no guilt or remorse, on the contrary...... He had a hint of pleasure.
