Chapter 191 191
Standing at the intersection of Yonghuo Street, the street lamps are replaced by red lanterns, the high-rise buildings are replaced by low-rise brick buildings, the Western restaurants and cafes are replaced by Chinese restaurants and cafes, and the English letters are replaced by Chinese square characters. A piece of paradise in the western world, just across the street, is another world.
Hugo and Joseph stood at the corner of the street, and then they saw the crowd slowly gather around. Everyone was standing in the distance whispering and pointing. Hugo had an inexplicable feeling that he had returned to the old society. Or in ancient times, it was like a widow with a chastity archway who was found cheating on the street, or a general who was defeated and survived, or a murderer who killed and set fire to cry for injustice. He didn't dare to approach easily, but he would gossip and crusade from a distance, whispering and exchanging ideas while expressing disgust on his face, in short, it was not a good thing.
It's an amazing feeling, and it's ridiculous. First, this is not the ancient times, and he is not a sinner; second, about half of the people around are Asian faces, and there are definitely many white people. So, Hugo didn't know why he felt this funny. Could it be because the light of the red lantern gave birth to this strange sense of time and space?
The commotion that swarmed in all directions made Hugo and Joseph a little uneasy, and both of them frowned and looked around, trying to find out what happened.
In fact, Yonghuo Street is very lively today. There are at least two or three hundred people within sight. The part of the street that extends out is an area that cannot be reached by sight, and there are more dense crowds. But it seems that at a certain moment, the noise is isolated, forming an arc with Hugo and Joseph as the center, forming two worlds, which reminds Hugo of a brand-new American drama "The Dome of the Dome" launched in 2013. Down (Under. The. Dome)", he and Joseph were enveloped in a force field, while the others stood outside the force field and pointed, but were reluctant to approach.
"Am I dead and my clothes disappeared? Or am I covered in blood, and I don't know it." Hugo turned his head slightly to Joseph, and said in a low voice, he didn't want to be sentimental, thinking he was the The focal point of the whole street or something, it's ridiculous. But the fact is that people outside the "force field" are watching him, and countless lines of sight are fired like thousands of arrows, accurately stabbing Hugo's body, "Or we plan to perform street performances, They're clearing the field for us and I just haven't realized it yet?"
Joseph was dumbfounded by Hugo's series of absurd humor, but he couldn't hold it back, and he burst out laughing, but Hugo's next sentence made Joseph unable to laugh, "Could it be that we two transformed ?"
"Transformation..." Joseph felt that the corners of his mouth began to twitch. Hugo's imagination... was really wild.
"You know, I turned into a vampire, you are... a bear man or something." Hugo pursed his lips, looked Joseph up and down, and said jokingly.
There are three black lines on his forehead, "Why is it a bear man, not a werewolf?" Joseph regretted it before he said it. He shouldn't have asked.
"Because you want a bear, when have you ever seen such a fat wolf." Hugo replied. Well, Joseph admits that he talks a lot, and now, he wants to strangle Hugo! make a fist!
If it was a month ago, Hugo and Joseph would never have made such a joke, but now, obviously the two have gotten to know each other a lot, and they can be regarded as very good partners. Joseph began to regret: shouldn't he tell Hugo about the family! Or maybe he shouldn't be giving Hugo father-son relationship advice... dammit!
However, before Hugo and Joseph could continue to clarify their doubts, the surrounding situation changed again. Originally, everyone stayed where they were, and then slowly stepped back, forming an empty force field around Hugo and Joseph. But now, someone has started to move forward. It's like an encirclement. There is a point that protrudes into it, and then the faces on both sides of the point are dented inward, triggering a chain reaction, and eventually the entire encirclement begins to shrink.
This is the case now. There was a crowd of onlookers approaching Hugo's direction, and then everyone around started to approach the center in twos and threes. Hugo only had time to ask, "Are they going to fight?" Before Joseph rolled his eyes, Someone shouted, "Hugo, is that Hugo Lancaster?"
Hugo didn't know whether he should answer yes or no, because the crowd didn't give him a chance to answer, "Yes, it's Hugo! It's Hugo!" Then he heard a series of screams, "Big star, big star Appeared!"
Hurala, the people in the surrounding area swarmed up. Hugo predicted that there were actually only about 30 people, but this scene seemed to be like a thousand troops... er, maybe it was really a thousand troops. Because after the "big star" was shouted, all the people around began to riot. With Hugo and Joseph as the center, it was like another huge magnet, which quickly attracted the surrounding crowd. Fifty people, One hundred people, two hundred people... Soon Hugo's honey was surrounded by countless bees. If people with intensive phobia looked down, they would definitely faint.
"What the hell is going on!" Hugo felt that his thoughts could not keep up. The moment before, he and Joseph were walking on Yonghuo Street, thinking about what to have for dinner. There were too many choices and Hugo was completely overwhelmed. ; The two of them became sandwich biscuits in the next moment, and they were filled with bean paste - because everyone was about to be crushed.
"Fans." This was the only thing Joseph could say, and he couldn't take care of himself now.
What? This was Hugo's first reaction. The last weekend of the premiere of "The Wind in the Sea of Righteousness", Hugo was blocked in the cinema once. It seemed that it was only three weeks ago. That time, the enthusiasm and courtesy of the fans It left a deep impression on Hugo. Of course, the hot popularity is still in my mind, but why is the containment so exaggerated today, is this world crazy?
The world is really crazy.
There seemed to be thousands of people surrounded by Hugo. Hugo only felt that countless hands were greeting him, and these hands were very dishonest. Some people grabbed their chests and some people grabbed their crotch. To touch the kind is to grab it hard, as if there is some deep hatred with Hugo, and just grab it hard without controlling the force at all. Hugo was certain that blood was caught on his chest and back, and the burning pain made him grin.
Joseph's first reaction was to stand in front of Hugo. This kind of work should be the work of assistants and managers, but since Hugo only has Joseph, Joseph can only shoulder this important responsibility: protect his own artist. Although Joseph is stronger than Hugo, it is a pity that the difference in height between the two is not big. Hugo is also a big man, so the part that Joseph can block is limited.
Joseph was even worse than Hugo at the moment. Most of the frontal attacks greeted him, and some people even waved their fists and punched Joseph hard in the stomach. Not fans, but enemies. And there are also many palms directly towards Joseph's head. You must know that Joseph is a full six feet two inches. Although this height cannot be said to stand out, it is still taller than most people. Head waving, this is really crazy.
The people around kept screaming, "Hugo! Ah! Hugo!" But these voices eventually evolved into "Stars! Ah! Stars!"
Hugo couldn't hear these shouts at all. He only felt his eardrums buzzing, and he was held in place by the thrust coming from all directions, unable to move at all. Countless tiny screams and shouts got into Hugo. In his head, it made him feel like he was about to explode in the next moment.
The scene was completely out of control at this time, and the shouting mixed with the surging pushing and shoving turned into screams. Hugo strongly suspected that someone lost his center of gravity and fell. But Hugo had no way to pay attention to these situations at this time. His eyes were full of distorted faces, shouting "signature, signature" at him, like a picture of Edvard Munch (Edvard. Munch) The "Scream (Skrik)" stretched out in front of his eyes, and the feeling was terrifying, as if volcanoes erupted in front of him.
The strength of the individual is so insignificant in front of the collective, Joseph and Hugo have no strength to resist, Joseph turned around quickly, shouted "Go" in Hugo's ear, and then protected Hugo's shoulders, the two of them. Trying to find a gap in the crowd to escape, but now this scene is completely impassable and impossible to move.
When the people around saw that Hugo wanted to leave, they shouted frantically, "Sign! Sign!" As if Hugo didn't satisfy their wishes today, there was absolutely no way to leave. But at this time, Hugo still has the energy to sign for others. He can only pray that he is lucky to be able to evacuate safely.
The two men, Joseph and Hugo, relied on their own strength and struggled to move forward in the torrent. At first, the crowd around them moved with the positions of the two men, but the speed of the two men became faster and faster, and many people At first, they lost their positions, and as a result, they turned into headless flies.
Hugo pulled Joseph's arm, bent down, and hid his height in the dense crowd. Then he learned the way of a rugby player, used his shoulders to clear the way, and forcibly carved a path, and then under the gaze of the people successfully escaped.
If there are few people, everyone can keep the focus on Hugo; but when there are too many people, Hugo deliberately hides himself in a low-key manner, then the focus will soon be blurred and eventually lost. Therefore, Hugo and Joseph both managed to escape, but the surging crowd behind them still surrounded them, looking for Hugo's figure. "Love you" was mixed with the screams, one after another.
