Chapter 1241： Darkness swallows

Everything was Derek’s trick. He was not afraid of Hugo’s words, nor was he panicked. He was not defeated by Hugo at all. Now he is like a victor, ready to reap his own. Trophy: Hugo's panic, fear, and anger.

But Derek did not see his expected reaction. Although Hugo was a little surprised, the amber pupils did not conceal the surprise in his heart, but Hugo did not mess with himself. He also stood up, no He approached the barbed wire quickly, and the only distance between the two people was the barbed wire. Then Derek heard Hugo say:

"Do you have anything you believe firmly in?"

Derek snorted, "Yes, I believe that children are the most beautiful thing in this world-the source of my joy." After he finished speaking, he licked his lips, suggesting that the meaning couldn't be more obvious.

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

Hugo's words were like a sharp blade stabbing Derek's chest, which made Derek open his mouth, but did not say anything. Hugo chuckled, "If you say that you firmly believe that potatoes are the most beautiful thing in this world, I will have pity on you. 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 his arms tightly, making him unable to move. In fact, Derek knew what Hugo meant. Hugo was saying that he was a beast, not a human. So he was completely angry. The metaphorical insinuation itself was pity for him.

Hugo quietly looked at Derek's eyes that had become muddy due to excessive anger. His own masked face was reflected in his eyes. Only Hugo knew that the turbulence in his heart had completely destroyed him. Swallow.

Hugo watched Derek's anger settle little by little, and finally calmed down under the suppression of the prison guards. He said softly, "Do you know? I have always been curious about what it will be like at the moment of death. ; But I have never been curious about the feeling of dying in front of those who can’t wait to see your life disappear bit by bit, and whether the sight of hatred, pain, and anger can take your soul Corrosion bit by bit, and then witnessing your gradual disappearance, what kind of feeling will it be like?"

Hugo’s voice was so light, as if he was whispering in his ear, Derek even needed his full attention to hear, but that sentence was like thunder, hitting his eardrums again and again, and his heart began to rush frantically. chest.

He knew that he was going to be executed. Of course he knew that he knew that his life was not long left, so he volunteered to help Hugo because he wanted to enjoy the pleasure again at the end of his life and wanted to see what happened. A picture of a self-proclaimed righteous person being swallowed by fear and overwhelmed by ridicule in front of him. He enjoys such occasions.

But why did Hugo panic when death came out of his mouth?

Suddenly the scene of his childhood appeared in his mind. His father's smile like a butcher, his father's hands tightly holding his neck, his father's drunk smell... he could clearly feel his own right then. Life was dissipating bit by bit, he tried to struggle, he tried to call his mother, he tried to escape, but all his efforts were so weak.

Obviously it was a scorching summer, but at this moment, he felt like an ice cellar, and the nightmare-like suffocation came again.

Hugo opened his eyes and carefully caught the expanding fear in Derek’s eyes, as if drowning to survive, struggling constantly in the fear of death, trying to grab a piece of driftwood, but found that there was something under the water. The water plants entangled his legs, and then they continued to pull down, then down again.

Hugo knew he had finally found Derek's weakness—or the weakness of everyone, death. When death full of unknown and darkness arrives, the fear in the heart will easily magnify all weaknesses infinitely. Perhaps, only fanatical martyrs like Anonymous would not be afraid of death. They would face death calmly, and even embrace death fanatically; but other than that, even Amon Goss was afraid of death because of his heart. Deep down, he has struggled before, he can still be regarded as a person.

Hugo found fear in Derek's eyes, and at the same time smelled the darkness. He seemed to be involved in the darkness, and was gradually swallowed by the darkness, but Hugo did not feel any strangeness in himself.

"Congratulations, you can enjoy this process carefully, you have enough time to feel the vicious sight and the curse of resentment, and you have enough time to feel the process of tearing and dissipating your soul bit by bit, you There is enough time to savor the... pleasure of death."

Hugo's voice was like the murmur of death, making all Derek's sanity completely disappear. He slammed into the barbed wire frantically, his eyes were severely thrown out, like dead fish eyes, staring at Hugo fiercely, messy The ground screamed, "You son of a bitch, you are a ****, I want to kill you, I want to kill you..." It was like the last blow of a deadly beast.

Hugo didn't have the slightest fear, his expression became a bit savage, and he said every word, "I am looking at you, the family of the deceased is looking at you, those hateful eyes are looking at you..."

Hugo's words lost their calm for the first time, and they became louder and louder, as if daggers were thrust into Derek's chest fiercely. His hands were supported on the wire fence, and his muscles were tense. , The anger and hatred that had been suppressed for a long time poured out like a tide, rushing to Derek like a torrential rain.

The guard realized that Hugo and Derek could no longer communicate. They pulled Derek back together and shouted, "Hugo, calm down, calm down", and drag Derek back to the cell, Delhi. Ke kept yelling "I'm going to kill you..."

Outside, two prison guards rushed over and tried to appease Hugo, but they didn’t know what to do. They kept shouting to Hugo, “Calm down, Hugo, you must calm down, the interview must be terminated, you guys. It can't go on like this."

The whole scene became chaotic in an instant.

Hugo stood in place, breathing heavily, watching Derek disappear behind the wooden door, and faintly hearing Derek's roar, fragmentary but desperate, just like the fragments that were scattered after the night was torn apart by his hands.

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

At this moment, Hugo only felt that his brain had become cold, not the decrease in temperature. On the contrary, his brain was boiling like a volcano at this moment, but he felt the icy darkness eroding himself bit by bit. , And not only did he not want to resist, but he just let it go, as if witnessing Lucifer gradually degenerating from the archangel of light and becoming a slave to darkness. The snow-white wings were stained with black. The beauty of the confrontation between black and white and conflict between black and white during the conversion process is magnificent. And beautifully presented before my eyes.

In the beginning, Hugo approached the prisoners with the mentality of a bystander, just like the nun Helen went to visit Matthew. But Hugo soon realized that this method was wrong. He was not "Nun Helen" but "Matthew". He should be a member of the Angolan prison. He should have been abandoned in this exile. He should be one of the prisoners.

Since then, Hugo no longer tries to understand the prisoner, but tries to understand the prisoner's psychology in the criminal process, and even the details of the crime. So when Derek met for the first time, he easily destroyed Hugo's line of defense, because the lifelike picture was too powerful for Hugo, even the "prisoner" could not bear it.

Behind every criminal is a sad story. The hateful person must have pity. This is the truth. Most criminals have mental illnesses, including the Anonymous in the "Seven Deadly Sins". As for Amon Gossner, it is a special case. It is a deformed product under the background of the times. The so-called cold-blooded animals do not exist. Even if they are real demons that kill people without blinking, they are not born out of thin air. This has nothing to do with "the beginning of man, the nature is good or the nature is evil", it is just a change, a determined one. process.

Many mental illnesses come from depression, oppression, fear, panic, and darkness in the process of growing up People never know how terrible the weight of a sentence is, maybe it's just a sentence "I hate you" It will change the child's life. After accumulating bit by bit of negative energy in the process of growth, it bursts out at once and brews the consequences that can never be undone.

Derek is like that.

Those words that Hugo stimulated Derek were facts, including his family, his lover, and his friends. Hugo knew that there was a sad story behind Derek, but he could not sympathize with Derek. It was not because of his hard heart, but because of Derek's vivid story that Hugo felt that his hands were bloody, 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 is no difference between the two ends of the barbed wire fence. They are both a restricted space, a banished space, a space shrouded in darkness, and a space where a demon is laughing wildly.

Suddenly, Hugo felt that his hands were stained with blood. He seemed to have strangled Derek's last hope and his soul with his own hands. But what is even more frightening is that Hugo looked at his hands, he had no guilt or regret, on the contrary...he had a hint of pleasure.
