1527 1527 Uninvited

Looking at the rolling yellow sand outside the window, there is hardly any green or any creatures on the endless Gobi. Looking up at the sky, the dazzling sun shone down, making people dazed for a while, actually seeing the light blue as a thick yellow, and only after blinking did I realize that it turned out to be the gently raised yellow sand Makes the original color of the sky darker.

Roger couldn't help stunned, thinking back in his mind: How did he get here? Looking back at Henry, who was sitting next to him, Roger suddenly became angry.

Henry leaned on the back of the back seat at this time, raised his head, opened his mouth slightly, and seemed to be in a deep sleep. The lonely journey made his chest more depressed under the comfort of Henry, and Roger was speechless. He coughed twice, trying to wake Henry up, but Henry didn't respond at all. Roger rolled his eyes and pushed Henry's arm directly. This time Henry finally responded.

But Henry just picked his eyelids, glanced at Roger sideways, and said lazily, "If you're complaining about the long journey, it's not my fault." Obviously, Henry didn't fall asleep at all, he just pretended to be asleep, It was obvious that he did not want to have a conversation with Roger.

Roger bit his gums and said viciously, "You didn't tell me the band was on a road trip right now!"

Henry curled his lips innocently, "I said before I set off, this is an amazing journey. When I say 'journey', I mean it literally." This made Roger not change in one breath, which was really depressing endlessly.

Since Glory died on Highway 50, the nearest big city to them was Austin, so after Henry and Roger flew to Austin to meet, the two rented a car and chased after them all the way. Even if a driver was hired, it was still an extremely difficult journey, and it was really uncomfortable for Roger, who was used to sitting in the office and strategizing.

Looking at the boundless desolation outside the window again, Roger only felt that he was really on a pirate ship. Route 50 seems to have no end. Looking forward, you can't find the end, and looking back, you can't find the starting point. It seems that they have been abandoned in the center of the world. This feeling reached its peak when I saw Glory to Death!

Roger looked at the group of people not far away, he couldn't believe that they were honored to death!

In front of me is a simple gas station with only two self-service refueling machines. Behind it is a convenience store with dark blue mottled wooden walls. A dark red RV is parked on the side. The rear door of the RV is lifted, and the car can be seen There are various recording equipment at the end, and a fist-sized wire is connected from the equipment, dragging a long track on the ground, and connecting it to the many musical instruments in front of the convenience store behind the gas station.

Drums, keyboards, guitars, basses, microphones and other musical instruments are randomly placed. There are high and low microphones everywhere, and two boom microphones are suspended above. The walls on both sides surround the instruments, forming a A small stage with no height. Although it is a little crude, it is still decent.

However, no one was standing behind the instrument at this time, but a group of people formed a group in front of the instrument. There were about a dozen people standing there, and several of them were wearing Native American costumes with similar joy on their faces. and carefree, with Hugo standing among them.

Roger saw Hugo's bright smile at a glance. At this time, Hugo's dark golden hair was long enough to cover the length of his ears. He simply combed it into three or seven points, and his hair was slightly messy. , The beard on the chin made Hugo look a lot more vicissitudes, covering most of his cheeks, almost unrecognizable, but those eyes were still hard to ignore.

The faces of Fukuin and Pedro standing beside him were filled with cheerful smiles, especially Fukuin, Roger had almost never seen Fukuin's expression so cheerful. Compared with Hugo, Fukukin and Pedro are not much better, with stubby beards and messy hair, they are completely embarrassed after being ravaged by the sandstorm in the Gobi, but they don't care at all, and they exude lightness from all over. .

In comparison, the suit on Roger's body seemed a little itchy, making him want to take off the suit almost immediately. Roger unbuttoned his suit and shirt uncomfortably, trying to relax himself, but Roger suddenly remembered and turned to look at Henry who slowly got out of the car, "Didn't you say the band is preparing for the third An album? What's going on here?"

Henry walked over unhurriedly, "I came here in person just to figure this out, so let's dig out the truth together." Roger was completely dumbfounded when he said these words, thinking about what happened all the way just now. Dust and turbulence, at this time it is impossible to say a word.

At this time, Pedro finally noticed the parked off-road vehicle, and then saw Henry, "Hey, Mr. Henry Bloom, you did it!" Then Pedro laughed, " I told you, Henry will definitely come in person."

Hugo also saw Henry, and greeted him with a face full of surprise, "Are you really here?" He turned his head and shouted, "Pepe, congratulations, I owe you a dollar."

Henry lightly bumped Hugo's shoulder, "You invited me over, but you don't believe I'll come?" Obviously, there was a bet on whether Henry would come in person within Glory to the Dead, but Pedro was the only one. People chose to believe Henry, and even Hugo, who had sent an invitation, thought that Henry would not come back.

Hugo spread his hands and looked helpless, "I never joke about a dollar, so I have to be realistic." This made Henry chuckle and shook his head, but when Hugo looked up, he saw Roger standing not far away. He raised his eyebrows, "Wow, you also brought honorable guests, which is something we all didn't expect."

Roger came over, Hugo was going to give Roger a hug, but he looked down at his clothes, then looked at Roger's clothes, and finally stretched out his right hand and shook it, "So, Mr. Fazon Are you here for a vacation?" Hugo's irony made Pedro, who followed him, chuckle.

Neil, Alfonso, and Fookin stood in the distance and continued to communicate with the group. They just raised their hands and waved hard, even if they said hello.

Roger himself shook his head with a wry smile, "No, I'm here because of the new album of Glory to Death." Roger pulled his suit awkwardly, then tried to speak calmly, "So, this again What the hell is going on?" Roger pointed to the desolation and emptiness around him, completely unaware of what was going on.

Hugo glanced at Henry, completely not expecting such an accident, but Henry shrugged and didn't say anything more. Hugo understood what Henry meant. Instead of relying on Henry to persuade Roger, it was better to rely on the actual performance of the band to complete the persuasion. After all, this time Henry himself was in a situation where he knew little about it. Of course, Roger didn't have any preparations today, but Henry already knew the details, and he could still shoot at a critical moment.

Hugo took a deep breath and looked back at Pedro, "Let Neil go back to the trailer and prepare to show Roger and Henry our results." After Pedro left, Hugo turned his head, " If it is explained in words, all this seems to be more complicated, and it is difficult for even our band to explain clearly, many times, the power of language is very pale, so instead of standing here eating sand, we might as well speak with facts.”

Hugo glanced at Henry with a smile, "This is also the reason why I invited Henry over, let him listen and feel it. Although you are an unexpected visitor, Roger, but... we always welcome you to join us. "Hugo's words made Roger give Henry a stern look - he was an uninvited guest and was not in Hugo's plan at all, which means that his hardships were entirely caused by Henry, which made Roger very depressed. . Henry could only glance at Hugo helplessly.

Obviously Hugo did it on purpose, but Henry couldn't refute it, because he didn't remind Glory to be ready in advance. The band is now probably caught off guard.

Hugo seemed very confident and didn't panic too much. Henry knew that when Hugo set a goal, this was the mental outlook he showed, which made Henry feel a little more enlightened.

"Hugo, why did I listen to you? I have an ominous premonition." Roger interrupted the communication between Hugo and Henry. He frowned and said actively. He looked around again and couldn't help feeling lightly. Sighed.

"Sorry, if you come here two more days later, we will be in Chicago, and the situation will definitely be different." Hugo explained briefly, and when he looked back, he found that Neil and Fokin were gone. Soapy made an "OK" gesture, and then Hugo led Henry and Roger towards the trailer.

"Before I explain everything, I'll let you guys listen to the master tape we recorded for the new album, Roger, you can listen to it and see if you're satisfied with our new album." Hugo skipped the most important The part did not say, but focused on the new album. Although Roger noticed the abnormality, he couldn't say why for a while, and his attention shifted to the new album.

"So, Henry said that you are preparing a new album, is that true?" Roger finally breathed a sigh of relief, which is undoubtedly the best news for EMI Records. However, Roger became nervous again, because he knew better than anyone how important the third series of To the Dead Glory was!

Hugo smiled. "Anyway, you've got to show it to people, don't you? So, you can listen to it, and give your opinion--hope the pistol in my boot won't come in handy."
