Chapter 39: The Lost Scene

  Unlike what he said to the bishop earlier, after the crowd in the cabin left, Hugo's figure disappeared from the surveillance screen. It seemed that he had hidden himself at a blind spot of the camera. A moment later, Hugo reappeared, but this time with a phone in his hand.

  Hugo seemed to have opened a video call, and he was holding the phone screen in front of Brother Gino, who was convulsing and wailing. His mouth should be saying something, but unfortunately, Hugo was now sideways facing the surveillance camera, which could only see his cheek moving, but what exactly he was saying, even Sīmén Dàguān (西门大官人) couldn't make out.

  After saying a few words, the person on the phone should have responded with something. Yu Huo directly turned the phone screen towards himself, and the two people started chatting face to face. Unfortunately, due to the angle issue, Sun Wuzi couldn't see what the person on the phone looked like or what Yu Huo was saying.

  Hugo said a few words and then left the surveillance camera's view again. This time, he was gone for a slightly longer period of time, and when he reappeared, he had a bunch of bottles in his arms. Hugo held the phone between his head and shoulder, talking to someone on the phone while pouring various colored powders from the bottles into a cup. His figure disappeared again, and when he reappeared, he was holding an open bottle of wine.

  Hugo Award wine poured into a cup filled with various powders, found a dinner knife and stirred it in, then used the same dinner knife to cut his own left index finger, dripping a few drops of fresh blood into the already unrecognizable colored wine.

  Next, Hugo placed the phone in front of Gino so that the person inside could see what was about to happen. Suddenly, Hugo swiftly held up Gino's chin with one hand and grabbed a cup with the other, pouring the multicolored wine into his mouth.

  The effect of the wine going down was like pouring a cup of boiling magma, and Gino's hair instantly exploded like a porcupine. He opened his mouth to shout something, but Hugo pressed his mouth shut one step ahead. Next, an uncomfortable scene appeared, and Gino's eyes, nostrils, and ears all had a light yellow liquid flowing out continuously. Even the gaps between Hugo's fingers covering his mouth had this liquid flowing out.

  At first, it was just the facial features that had this liquid flowing out, but after a moment, Brother Gino's skin pores also continuously seeped out this liquid. Gino seemed to have received extreme pain, his body constantly struggling, but the ropes binding him were indeed sturdy, and with Hugo covering his mouth tightly, he eliminated any chance of escape.

  At this time, the 'snake' under Gino's skin began to gather towards his heart, and hundreds of snakes merged into a shape similar to a giant python. It should be that the person on the phone saw the opportunity and said something to Hugo. Director Hugo glanced at the phone screen, then his empty hand reached into his pocket and pulled out a large cross.

  Yuè Huò took a bite of the bottom of the cross, grasped the intersection with force and pulled out a shiny short sword. Seeing the short sword, Xīong Wàn Yì, who was watching from the side, couldn't help but say to Sūn Pàng Zǐ: "Yuè Huò has something in his hand too, why does he still want to borrow yours?"

  Sun Baozi's eyes stared at the screen without blinking, his mouth slightly curled up, and he replied: "His stuff can't be exposed in public, it seems that Director Hugo really has something in his hands."

  When Sun Baozi said this, Hugo had already started his final move. As before, he grasped the cross-shaped short sword in his hand, and the tip of the sword was pointed at the python's neck for a moment. The black scales inside were exposed, and after this action, Brother Gino seemed to be shocked, and his body completely collapsed onto the chair. His staring eyes were directly facing the position of the surveillance camera, and from this angle, Brother Gino's pupils were slowly expanding.

  But at this time, Hugo couldn't care about that anymore. He grasped the cross-shaped short sword with both hands and slowly pulled out the giant python from Gino's body. The python that had left Gino's body began to vaporize immediately, but the short sword in Hugo's hand seemed to have a strong suction power, and even though it was turning into black mist, the python's body couldn't spread outward and still maintained its shape, sticking to Hugo's short sword.

  Hugo's hands exerted force, and in no time, the entire python was pulled out of Gino's body. At this moment, Hugo's wrist shook, and the python was shaken off the short sword. After leaving the short sword, the python quickly turned into a cloud of black mist, dispersing into the air amidst continuous rolling and struggling.

  After seeing the giant python disappear, Hugo sat down on the ground as if he had lost all his strength. However, even in such exhaustion, he still remembered to say a few more words to the person on the phone. After hanging up the phone, he got up from the ground and checked on Gino's condition. At this time, Gino's eyelids were already closed, and his chest was rising and falling slightly, and he had miraculously come back to life again.

  After seeing that Gino was unharmed, Hugo put the short sword back into its scabbard, transforming it once again into a cross. After putting away the cross, he untied the ropes binding Gino and carried him, who had lost consciousness, to the cockpit.

  The scene was simply cleaned up, and finally Hugo opened the cockpit door and sat in the chair where Gino was tied up earlier, lit a cigarette, and slowly smoked it. However, just as everyone was about to enter the cockpit, Gino suddenly seemed to think of something, his whole body shook, staring at the surveillance camera with wide eyes.

  It was almost at the same time that he looked at the surveillance camera, and the old master entered the cockpit again with the support of others. Hugo also returned to normal at this moment, and they were talking one by one. At this time, Sun Baozi led Ximen Lian and several others to appear in the picture. Almost everyone was watching Hugo and the old master talk, while Baozi squinted his eyes and looked at the location of the surveillance camera.

  "Sun Baozi, you don't look good in this photo. The more I look at it, the fatter you seem to be getting, it's really getting more and more out of shape." At this point, Xiong Wanyi paused for a moment, then continued: "I didn't expect Director Hugo to have such skills, who do you think he was calling on the phone just now? And where did he find those jars?"

  Sun Baozi deleted the video he just watched and pulled out the U disk to put it away, then responded to Xiong's words: "The Public Opinion Bureau is so big, who else can they call? Old Wu of the Sixth Room. Otherwise, who can teach him these things? You also saw that snake earlier, maybe Second Sheep has a way to remotely control them - I'm not saying it's easy"

  While speaking, Sun Baozi took out a cigarette and lit one for himself. After taking a puff, he said: "You mentioned those bottles and jars, they should be some physical materials prepared for the religious exchange between the two countries this time. I didn't expect it to benefit Ruyu in the end."

  Here is the translation:

  "Speaking of which, Sun Peng suddenly slapped his thigh and said with a somewhat knotted expression: "Oh no, I forgot something. Old Mo, pull over to the side of the road. You all get out first and take a taxi to the State Guest House. This is Director Liu's business card, call him and he'll arrange for you to go in. Also, here are a few ID cards, keep them safe, if you lose them you won't be able to attend the state banquet. When you see Director Liu, tell him I said hi, I'll be there in 20 minutes." As he spoke, Sun Peng handed over the business card and ID cards all at once to Ximen Qing and the others.

  The head of the bureau had spoken, and no matter how reluctant Ximen Chain and his two companions were, they had to get off. Just then an empty taxi came over and was stopped by the three of them. As soon as they got in, Xiong Wanyi grumbled: "Have you ever seen anyone take a taxi to attend a state banquet?"

  After the taxi carrying Ximen, Qiang and Hua left his sight, Sun Baozi took out his phone and dialed a number: "Old Zheng, help me with something. Can you check a phone number for me? xxxxxxxxxxxx, can you check this number's call records for the past hour? Not 15 minutes ago, I need it now."

  Sun Baozi held his phone for two or three minutes before the other party responded. After listening to Sun's words, his eyes narrowed immediately: "Oh, satellite encrypted phone, can't check the other party's number, can't even find the address - so interesting. No big deal, a friend's wife ran away with someone and asked me to help check the call records. Me? That's you, your wife ran away with someone, your whole family ran away with people."

  Before Zheng's retort, Sun Baozi hung up the phone and leaned back in his car seat, gazing out at the flow of people outside the window. He muttered to himself: "I'm not saying you're interesting or anything..."
