Chapter 857 857 Rabbit Hole
Hugo looked at a few people in the room and waved his hand with a smile, "You guys are actually playing cards here, I thought you were having a party outside."
"Carnival is Axl's favorite asshole, and I don't think it's too noisy." Maynard Keenan said with a look of disgust, "Slash called me over to play cards. , of course I can't ask for it."
Hugo knew that the relationship between Slash and Axl was not good, because Axl was too strong and arbitrary. Axl's strong desire to control pushed Guns and Roses to a split limit. Creative Core Izzy Sterling Slash became the creative core of the band after a massive touring tour, but Axl still wanted to control the band, which ultimately led to Guns and Roses, the 1980s bandwagon. The band gradually went to its demise.
"Hehe, how much did you play today?" Hugo chuckled, walked over, looked down at the bets on the table, and chatted with them.
At this time, Sally was watched closely by Penny, and Penny was like a cobra. She listed Sally as its prey, and then stared at Sally with all her attention, which made Sally get goosebumps all over her body. .
Sally suddenly realized that Penny, who never showed her cards in front of them, was actually her favorite Hugo. So when Penny saw her with Hugo, the jealousy was almost unquenchable, and it shot out of her eyes like fire.
Looking at the distorted face due to jealousy, Penny is no longer a queen and is no longer beautiful, on the contrary, she has become extremely ugly. The same face can have such a big difference, which really makes Sally feel Somewhat funny.
Does Penny really like Hugo?
Sally didn't think so, because Penny didn't know what kind of person Hugo was at all. Penny didn't notice that Hugo covered her nose when he came in. Obviously Hugo was very uncomfortable with the smell of smoke; Penny didn't notice. Also didn't notice Hugo's for poison. Product and. sex. Love the rejection of parties, obviously Hugo doesn't like such occasions... Isn't it the most ridiculous thing for such a Hugo, Penny wants to approach him in a flesh-and-blood way, and seek a spring breeze?
Suddenly Sally felt pity for Penny, because Penny didn't know what she wanted, whether it was just physical enjoyment or obsession with rock and roll. If it's the former, why bother targeting rock bands? There are a lot of good men in this world -- or men willing to stand one night; if it's the latter, then the mind is more important than the body, isn't it?
Perhaps what Penny really wanted was attention, the kind of attention she had in the hotel lobby this afternoon. But this kind of attention is not the same as what a rock band gets on stage, it just makes Penny more pathetic.
At this moment, Sally heard Maynard say, "Alfonso, otherwise, I'll block the female companion for the next bet, and whoever wins will be eligible for this female companion for one night."
After the words were spoken, several men did not object, but instead laughed lightly. At this time, Penny didn't have the heart to pay attention to Sally, she could only withdraw her gaze and turned to Alfonso, but Sally noticed the expression on Penny's face: there was helplessness in the loneliness, but Had to force a smile to show his beautiful and moving side. This is the true meaning of flesh and blood, an object.
Sally retracted her eyes and turned to Hugo. Hugo was obviously not used to taking people as a bet. He twitched the corners of his mouth shallowly and drew a mocking smile, but Hugo didn't say anything, but looked at Alfonso, "Pete. Where's Pei? Did you see him?"
Alfonso didn't notice Penny's focus on himself, but turned to look at Hugo, and gave Sally a friendly smile, "Pepe, he's in the next room, he's been in for a while. ." Seeing Hugo turning around and preparing to leave, Alfonso quickly added, "Remember to knock on the door when you go in, maybe Pepe is busy."
Hugo rolled his eyes, "You think I'm you." Then he dropped his right hand on Sally's shoulder and motioned her to turn away.
Before Sally turned around, she saw Penny's mixed eyes, whether it was jealousy or resentment, or helplessness and unwillingness. Sally couldn't tell, so she and Hugo hurriedly left the room.
After walking out of the room, Hugo began to cough. The smoke in the room just now made him very uncomfortable. He felt that his skin was already itchy, which was really bad.
Sally looked at Hugo like this and asked worriedly, "Are you okay?"
Hugo waved his hand to indicate that he was fine, and then walked towards the next room, but before Hugo could knock on the door, the door of the room opened, and a young man in his twenties appeared in front of him. This young man has a neat short head, an eyebrow nail at the end of his eyebrows, and the green stubble of the chin is connected together. The black vest shows the tattoos from the arms to the neck. It was obvious that the pockets were full of things.
The young man raised his right hand towards Hugo, with a small transparent bag sandwiched between his index and middle fingers, which contained white powder, and the corners of his mouth outlined a meaningful lewdness. swing. Smile, "How about a trip?" This obviously doesn't refer to travel, but to drug use. After the product, the mind is unable to concentrate as if it were an illusory state, as if it were a special journey.
Obviously, there is a poison in front of him. dealer.
Hugo said succinctly, "No!" The firm and affirmative attitude couldn't be more clear, and the young man in front of him immediately understood that this business was impossible. So the young man did not bother, but shrugged his shoulders, skillfully put the transparent bag between his fingers into his palm, and then clenched his fist and put his right hand into his pocket.
"Very good." The young man nodded slightly, and shrugged helplessly. Then Hugo gave way, and the young man walked over.
Watching the back of the young man leave, Hugo's brows could not help wrinkling. In fact, he also knew that it was poisonous. Poison is an indispensable thing in the party, and he can't stop every poison. The dealer, if he really stops it, it is estimated that those bands will not give up with him, so he has no plans to meddle in his own business. But at this time, I saw poison at the door of Pedro's room. The dealer came out, this feeling is really bad.
Hugo no longer knocked on the door, and walked in directly, shouting, "Pepe! Pepe!"
There were some people in the room, and there were only seven or eight people sitting in the hall. Hugo took a closer look and found that none of them were Pedro. One of the girls also pointed to the bedroom, and Hugo then quickly walked towards the interior. walked over. Sally followed behind Hugo, following every step of the way, but she was so short that she couldn't keep up with her pace at all, so she could only trot to catch up.
Hugo really found Pedro in the bedroom. At this time, Pedro hugged Helena, and the two of them looked very happy. Hugo looked around, at least on the surface, there was no poison. There are traces of the product, and Pedro also looks very spirited, not like a sucker. The appearance of being in a trance after the poison made him a little relieved.
"Hey, Hugo! Why are you here!" Pedro saw Hugo and greeted him with a smile.
Helena, who was sitting in Pedro's arms, became excited when she saw Hugo. Then, when she saw Sally who appeared later, Helena couldn't help but struggle a little. She seemed to be thinking that she should compete with Sally for Hugo. Well, you should still hold on to Pedro.
However, no one noticed Helena's expression. Sally stood behind Hugo and couldn't see clearly, so she didn't notice it; while Hugo spoke directly to Pedro, "Sorry for disturbing you. Now." Hugo scratched his head a little embarrassedly, feeling that he seemed to be overreacting, he wasn't Pedro's parents, and that shouldn't be the case.
But Pedro didn't think about it, but said with a smile, "It's okay, it's okay, this is Helena, and we were just talking about the funny thing about the last Seattle performance."
Hugo nodded at Helena casually, showing a smile even as a greeting, he thought about it, and then said, "Pepe, you know, I saw a lot of drugs just now, you better pay attention, Don't get caught."
Pedro is not surprised at all. They have been together day and night during the tour of the band, and it has been at least nearly a year before and after. He naturally knows that Hugo is poisonous. He was disgusted by the product, so he smiled and nodded and said, "Don't worry, I know, I didn't even drink wine today."
Hugo felt that he was still too worried, and chuckled twice, "That's good, then you can continue to enjoy, I won't bother." After thinking about it, he swallowed the original reminder that Pedro would practice at night. He went down, then waved his hand dryly, and turned to leave.
After leaving the room, Hugo took Sally all the way to the elevator, and Hugo didn't relax until after the elevator.
Hugo leaned against the wall of the elevator, closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He kept telling himself: You must relax, this is the status quo in the rock and roll circle, you can't just be like the grass and trees just because of Zhang Xiaoye's cups, if this goes on, it's not just you There will be problems, and Pepe and the others will definitely not like it.
However, the matter of Zhang Xiaoye brought too deep memories and shocks to Hugo. As long as he closed his eyes, he would think of the body that gradually lost its body temperature. lotus. Hugo felt that he was really too tense, so that the fatigue immediately surged up.
But soon, Hugo still let out a long breath and smiled at Sally next to him, "Are you alright?"
Sally looked at the tiredness between Hugo's eyebrows and nodded, "Well, I'm fine."
Watching the elevator go down from the fourteenth floor one by one, Sally can finally relax. The entrance to the fourteenth floor is like a rabbit hole in "Alice in Wonderland". It is the entrance to a strange and unusual world. , but it is also an exit. The bizarre, illusory and confusing world in that world makes people yearn for, but also terrifying.
At this point, they finally escaped this rabbit hole, and watching the entrance of the rabbit hole go a little further away, Sally's tense heartstrings finally loosened up.
