Chapter 103: Hogg on the Train
"This is your friend?" Jiang Zixiao looked back at the sloppy strong man who squeezed onto the train.
Xia Mingwei thought for two seconds: "His name is Hogg...... It's a guest at my family's café, and I've met him before. There is no flaw in this sentence, and it can even be called the truth.
Before he could finish speaking, Hogg had already put his arms around his shoulders, rubbed his red and swollen nose with his other big hand, and muttered in a muttered voice in a muffled voice:
"yes...... yes, I often go to this kid's coffee shop. ”
Dongling stared at Hogg for a moment, then sat down in the reserved train seat.
Jiang Zixiao looked at Hogg again, "That's a coincidence, you met in this kind of place," he leaned close to Xia Mingwei's ear, "I'll go, junior brother, he's really tall, what did he grow up eating?" ”
"I don't know." Shamingway shook his head.
He felt that Hogg's height was most likely due to the influence of the Frost Giant's sequence, and it was difficult for a normal person to grow to two meters, and he looked out of place in the entire carriage.
Several attendants soon rushed in from outside the carriage, and they tried to drag Hogg out, "Sir, you don't have a train ticket, the train is about to leave, you must get off immediately!" ”
"Ouch, you young people are impetuous, can you stop procrastinating, I'll just come up and say hello to my old friend, as if I don't pay for your train ticket......" Hogg muttered as he was dragged a little loosely, and several flight attendants were stunned to move him, and then Hogg was forced to hurry, and retreated outside the carriage with a curse, and he staggered to the beer bottle surrounded by several flight attendants, and shouted meaninglessly: "Down with Brezhnev!" ”
"What the hell is this, junior?" Jiang Zixiao put his arm on Xia Mingwei's shoulder and said in a sneering voice. The figure in front of him resembles a wild man who came out of the last century.
"I've only seen him in the store, and I know his name from the owner, but I don't know anything about him at all." Xia Mingwei said softly.
"You know, I don't have a train ticket, I think you can pay me for the train ticket, what do you think?" Hogg asked at Summerway, took a sip of beer, wiped his mouth with his dark sleeve, and burped with the smell of alcohol.
The flight attendant next to him was already contacting the police, and this two-meter-tall man really scared them a lot, and no one could stop him if he started to get drunk.
Seeing that the carriage door was about to close soon, Hogg, who was surrounded by the crowd, was a little confused, Xia Mingwei hesitated for half a second, and said, "Senior, should we take the next train?" ”
"Okay, there's still more time anyway, so there's no hurry." Jiang Zixiao smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "But it's not necessary, just show them the executive passports issued by the school." ”
"Executive passport?" Xia Mingwei was puzzled.
"Yes, only the very good students will get this passport, you stay here and watch." Jiang Zixiao hooked the corners of his mouth, walked out of the carriage, and showed a passport to the attendants, "Hey, this is my friend, can you please be accommodating, let him get on the train, I need you to keep this matter a secret." ”
Two minutes later.
The train drove away.
Jiang Zixiao, Dong Ling, Hogg, and Xia Mingwei stood on the platform, and the Paris noon sun shone above their heads, but it was a little cold.
Jiang Zixiao was playing with the game console, and the buttons crackled.
Dong Ling lowered her head and drew the Paris train station with an expressionless face.
Hogg scratched his hair, crouched on the ground, put the finished beer bottle beside him, and burped again.
Xia Mingwei turned his head to look at the three of them, and his head hurt a little: "Senior, why doesn't your passport work?" ”
"It's okay, the next train will be coming soon." Jiang Zixiao said lightly.
"Please answer my question."
"Uh, well, this thing has to be shown to the police to be useful, how can the flight attendants know the passports issued by the Executive Directorate?" Jiang Zixiao shrugged his shoulders.
"I see." Xia Mingwei sighed lightly and looked at Hogg: "Uncle Hogg, our train is going to the Normandy area, are you sure you are stopping by us?" ”
"By the way." Hogg smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "I'll stop everywhere." ”
Xia Mingwei shrugged his shoulder, which was a little painful: "That's okay, I've asked someone to book the train ticket for you." He asked Ji Lang, except for Ji Lang's hacking ability, he couldn't find anyone else to book a train ticket for a character like Hogg who had no identity credentials.
To be honest, his mood is a little confused, Hogg's physique is too conspicuous, there are still so many monitors at the Paris train station, and the school can easily see him staying with Hogg, and he is still in the observation period of the school park, and Hogg will inevitably be suspected of being a myth carrier at that time.
But Xia Mingwei couldn't help it, the current situation was urgent, he had to discuss the matter of the "Afterlife Meeting" with Hogg immediately, otherwise if Hogg didn't know and really went to Tokyo, Japan, the situation would be troublesome at that time.
So he could only try to fool the past, so he treated Hogg as a guest at the boss's coffee shop, and greeted and talked to him logically.
With a deafening roar, the next train arrived, and the four of them boarded the train, Hogg was so big that he hit his forehead.
"Ouch, it hurts......" Hogg rubbed his forehead as he sat down next to him, the smell of alcohol on his body making him wrinkle his nose.
"Hogg, how did you find me?" Xia Mingwei lowered his voice.
"That's it." Hogg reached into his pocket, pulled something out of it, and held it in his palm, "It's just it." ”
"What is this?" Xia Mingwei raised his eyebrows, and through the gap between Hogg's five fingers, he could see a flickering dark flame.
Hogg quickly withdrew the flame into his chest pocket, and patted his pocket, which suddenly swelled, but did not leak a trace of light.
He leaned close to Xia Mingwei's ear, lowered his voice and said: "This thing is left by the old thing of Surtr, it is Surtr's sequence ability, he can create a fire, which is used to find the characters he has been in contact with, and he has been looking for the rainbow god with this 'tinder' ability back then." ”
"Rainbow God?" Xia Mingwei frowned.
"yes," Hogg said with hindsight, scratching his hair, "don't you still know what the Rainbow God is?" ”
"No, I know." Xia Mingwei said, glancing at Dong Ling who was sitting on the left side of the carriage, "What is the boss looking for Hongshen to do?" ”
"I don't know what that old thing was thinking, he just said he wanted to know more about your secrets, and then he ran to Tokyo, to New York, but it took a long time to find the rainbow god, and then he gave up." Hogg whispered, shoved a green bean into his mouth, and wiped his hands.
"That's ...... so"
"By the way, why did Poseidon and Meijin say you're in Tokyo?" Hogg narrowed his left eyelid, his swollen eyelids drooping, "Do they really think I'm confused?" ”
"That's one of my doppelgangers," Xia Mingwei explained softly, "and my doppelganger is really just like they say, in Tokyo, Japan." ”
"Doppelganger?" Hogg was stunned, "Hey, I don't know much about your Chinese myths, and I still haven't figured out what this 'Black Wukong' is." ”
"Anyway, you only need to know one thing, I'm safe, and I don't need you to give your life to save me."
"Really?" Hogg crooked his eyebrows.
"Yes, it's my doppelganger who is really in the hands of the god of beauty and the god of the sea......" Xia Mingwei paused, "and that girl." ”
"Yaki Orochi?"
"I wanted to save her, so I stayed in Tokyo."
"Then you were rushing to save her from the beginning, so you let your clone contact the god of beauty and the god of the sea?" Hogg's eyelids jumped slightly, "Your heart is too big, silly boy, do you know how ruthless those two bad things are?" Even I don't dare to mess with them, after all, they are all together. ”
Xia Mingwei shook his head: "At first, I just didn't know why I had both the mythical sequence and the career sequence, and I wanted to get more information about the mythical sequence, so I would let the clones stay in Tokyo, otherwise I wouldn't be stupid enough to contact them." ”
"I see, I've never seen anyone who has two sequences at the same time." Hogmomore rubbed the stubble on his chin, "But you're still too bold...... I'm all scared for you, if those two stinky things know you're playing with them, you won't end up looking good. ”
"From the perspective of the Afterlife Society, only Zeus knows where the base of the sequencer is now, so I'm quite safe, the clone is just a clone, and it doesn't matter if you die."
"The Serializer's base can't be in France, right?" Hogg shuddered, his swollen eyes looking out the window. The train moves forward, getting farther and farther away from Paris in the rain.
"No," Xia Mingwei said lightly, "in order to avoid trouble, it is better for me not to tell you." ”
Before he finished speaking, Hogg put his arm on his shoulder, let out a long sigh, and said in a serious tone: "Stinky boy, I said that I want to get justice for Surtr, and go to Zeus to interrogate, since he has blended in with the sequencer...... Then I'll go find him at the sequencer's base camp. ”
"That's the kind of trouble I'm talking about." Xia Mingwei was helpless, "Are you really a bunch of bugs in the sequence?" On your own, they are still capable of dealing with it. ”
"Then you kid and I will go together, and we will make trouble in the base of the sequencer until Zeus is found out by us."
"Neither of the two of us...... ' Charmingway's voice sank, "I'll leave the matter of Zeus to me, and I'll find him out." ”
"But that kid is stronger than you think, even if it was Surter in his heyday, he might not be his opponent." Hogg glanced at Summerway.
"How much do you know about Zeus?"
"He's a thunderbolt."
"Everybody knows."
"His lightning seems to be able to break the realm, and he has the regenerative power to suppress others."
"I know that, too." Xia Mingwei said lightly.
"He also has the ability to take away other people's bodies, but the mythical sequence still exists, and it will move with his soul." Hogg raised his head, looked at the ceiling and muttered, "That kid, I guess I used this ability to replace a certain sequencer and blend into their base." ”
"Snatching the house, it turned out to be the snatching house...... Xia Mingwei's pupils shrank, and he muttered: "I also thought about it at the beginning, whether Zeus is the same as me, with two sequences, so he can stay in the school park for so long without being discovered." ”
"Of course it can't be, after I heard that you were a serializer from the boss's mouth, I was almost so shocked that I couldn't even drink the wine, do you kid know how special you are?" Hogg laughed.
"Be quiet, you're too loud, I'll be in trouble if that person hears you." Xia Mingwei said, moving his eyes to Jiang Zixiao, who was playing a game with headphones on.
"Okay, okay." Hogg yawned, his nose reddened even more, and he crossed his arms, looking a little sleepy, and looked like he would fall asleep at any moment.
"Is your mythological sequence getting out of hand?" Xia Mingwei said suddenly.
"Yo...... Can you kid guess this? ”
"Poseidon said that, which means that he is very sure that you have probably been somewhere on the way before you left for Tokyo."
"I'm not weak enough to do that, don't worry, at least I won't get out of control on this train."
"What you said makes my heart really panic."
"In short, I'm relieved to see that you're safe and sound, and I'm worthy of the old man of Surtr."
"I was going to ask you for your help to save that girl, but you're out of control...... Then there is no way. Shamingway looked out the window.
Hogg was silent for a moment: "What's that girl's name?" ”
"Rin Kiyotake."
"Or, let's cooperate, I'll threaten them, and finally give your doppelganger to the god of the sea and the god of beauty, and then let them let go of that girl?"
"They're not stupid." "It's not going to go so well. ”
"That's ......," Hogg scratched his head, "but you kid also know that if the myth carrier gets out of control, you will be able to distinguish between you and you, so if you force yourself to go to Tokyo, you may be able to harm a lot of innocent people." ”
"It's okay, I can save her myself."
"Then you can do it yourself." Hogg took a sip of wine and patted him on the shoulder, "But remember not to give up your life, sometimes people just have to learn to let go, I have lived for hundreds of years, this is the deepest truth I have realized, that girl must want you to live." ”
Xia Mingwei was silent for a long time: "Hogg, you can leave France after getting off the train, and then find a place to continue sleeping, and you don't have to worry about my affairs." ”
"Hey, you kid won't listen to you at all......" Hogg shrugged, "Anyway, when I wake up next time, I'll come to you with this fire, and I hope you kid is still alive by then." As he spoke, he patted the big man's pocket, and the fire inside glowed.
"Okay, you're in your care."
Xia Mingwei thought to himself that at that time, he might have been on the way to fight against Zeus, or against Anubis, that is, Xia Minglan.
If Hogg could wake up before then, it would be a great help.
With the roar of the engines and the billowing steam, the train entered the tunnel. Hogg beside him fell into a deep sleep and snored, and Xia Mingwei gradually emptied his thoughts, and tiredness welled up in his heart for a while.
