Longmen Memoirs

It was rare for Chen Mo to praise someone.

She paused when she heard Chen Mo's voice, choked, and slapped her chest hard.

Seeing her uncomfortable look, Chen Mo couldn't help but reach out and push the glass of water in front of the table.

The latter picked up the cup and drank it, taking a long breath.

"Huh... I thought I was going to die..."

The water glass was placed heavily on the table, and the girl's hand was still holding the water glass tightly.

An interesting little thief, this was Chen Mo's first influence on her.

After being caught, he tried to look at himself with a look of pity and confusion, and even bit back, made wild remarks, and threatened to call the police if he continued to be caught.

Chen Mo has never seen such a bold thief.

He pointed at the police officer patrolling not far away and said, "Okay, please."

After saying these words, the pitiful expression on the girl's face collapsed and turned into a look of self-unlucky. She gritted her teeth and reluctantly took her wallet out of her bag.

Chapter 26 Silly Fox

"How long have you been doing this?"

There was a wallet on the table, and Chen Mo asked the little thief in front of him.

The other party looked to be eleven or twelve years old at most, and the inappropriate old coat he was wearing must have been stolen, and had not been changed for a long time.

She hesitantly raised a finger in front of her eyes.

"This is... the first time."

"Does not look like."

Chen Mo shook his head and looked at her carefully.If he hadn't met someone with better skills than her before, she might have succeeded.

Crow's methods are much more professional, even though that guy has never relied on this skill to make a living.

"Well... I might be more talented, maybe?"

She smiled in a flattering manner. There was an obvious sense of distance in this smile, but for a child, it was pretty good.

I don't know why, but her smile reminded Chen Mo of a fox.

"Then your talent is really good." Chen Mo praised falsely.

"Thanks for the compliment." She smiled shyly.

"If you really called the police, you wouldn't treat me to dinner."

"I never said I wanted to invite you." Chen Mo knocked on the table and added: "...unless you can give me a reason."

It might also be a good idea to pass the time with this funny little thief.

"If you don't invite me to dinner, why did you bring me here?"

She asked in surprise. Today was really a bad day for Ansuo. Although this kind of miss had happened in the past, most of the time Ansuo could run away with his wits, even if he was holding on to the street. It's better for the patrol policeman to surrender than to be beaten.

But the guy in front of him is different. He still has a good eye for reading countless hidden clues in Xiacheng District.

"I brought you here, but I didn't say I wanted to treat you to dinner?"

Chen Mo just brought her here, but after she came, she started to get the boss to move.

"..."

Ansuo closed her mouth and just looked at Chen Mo, with an expression as if Chen Mo had done something unforgivable to her.

Chen Mo relented.

"Okay, you don't have to ask me to pay. You have to answer a few questions for me first."

"You said?" She nodded hurriedly.

"You won't ask me what I want to ask?"

"Anyway, I can't answer you if I don't know." Ansuo shook his head indifferently.

"How long have you been doing this? Tell the truth."

"Almost...a year."

"truth?"

"Two years?"

Chen Mo looked distrustful.

Ansuo began to change his words and said with certainty: "No more than three years at most, really! No more."

"Who did you learn from?"

"Who else can I follow? This kind of thing happens everywhere in this place. I learned it just by watching it." She said, looking like she had broken a jar. She hesitated for a while and seemed to explain: "I Normally I wouldn’t do anything here, there’s not much to gain, but you look at your face... who knows.”

"Who knew I would catch him."

"Yes." Ansuo smiled bitterly: "In this business... there are occasional mistakes."

"What happens when you miss?"

But even if you ask this, Chen Mo should actually know the answer.

"Get a beating."

Ansuo said it very easily, as if he didn't mind at all. The more times he said it, the more it became a habit.

"I can't help it. This is how I grew up, otherwise I would have starved to death."

"You didn't expect to be sent to jail after being caught?"

"The prison won't accept me when I'm like this. I'll be released after a few days at most. That's what everyone here does anyway."

Ansuo pointed at himself, picked up his chopsticks and shook them in the bowl. Perhaps he lost his restraint after breaking the jar, and added in a low voice: "To be honest, I think prison is not bad, at least you can have three meals a day." I can feel safe and have a bed to sleep on.”

"You have an idea." Chen Mo couldn't help but laugh.

"No way, this is life."

【}

“Have you ever thought about improving this life one day?”

An idea suddenly flashed through Chen Mo's mind.

"This..." Ansuo's smile suddenly appeared on his face, he raised his head and glanced, then quickly looked away and looked outside, his body moved slightly.

It looked like he was about to run away.

"You can't run away, how about you try?" Chen Mo pointed outside without any intention of stopping him.

After listening to Chen Mo's words, Ansuo sat down again, with a tangled face.As if he was organizing words, he finally spoke after a while and said intermittently:

"I heard them talking about this, but... that... I think I'm still young. I heard that this kind of thing is very harmful to children..."

Ansuo grabbed the table nervously.

"Also, although I know that I am very cute, but... I really don't have this idea. I think I am doing well now and I don't want to improve my life or anything. Otherwise... can you let me go?"

Chen Mo listened to her words, a little dumbfounded, and finally realized what she thought she wanted to do, but Chen Mo was really not that perverted.

"You think I want to fall in love with you?"

"How can..." Ansuo said hurriedly, and seemed to realize something, and smiled awkwardly.

Chen Mo looked at her awkward smile and didn't know what he was thinking at that time.

"Yes, that's right. I want to hire you." Chen Mo said, "Can you give me a price?"

"Are you... kidding?" Ansuo was still smiling, but in Chen Mo's eyes, the smile gradually turned into a horrifying one.

Without saying anything, he picked up his legs and ran out.

But Chen Mo held her arm with one hand.

She turned her head and looked at Chen Mo, with a look of shock and horror on her face.

"I said you can't run away, just accept your fate."

An Suo struggled wildly and hit Chen Mo in the head with his fist.

"You're on the street! Pervert!!"

Two minutes later, the kid who was pinned down on the table by Chen Mo's hands finally stopped struggling and turned his head to look at me with still fierce eyes.

"Zhongbu ran away, silly?"

------

Longmen is a free and open city, but at the same time there are strict class divisions here, between the common people and the rich in the upper city, the common people caught in the gap between the upper city and the lower city, and the poor and infected in the lower city and slums of the city. By.

These four types of people embody the different lifestyles of Longmen people. The poor are the most marginalized group of people in Longmen, but compared with the infected people living in the slums of Xiacheng District, they still have room for discrimination, exclusion and alienation.

Since the emergence of collectives, there will always be many conflicts between people, either because of ideas, or because of positions, or simply because of greed and arrogance, country and country, nation and nation, race and race. , between people, since the emergence of Originium Disease, this contradiction has been simply and crudely divided into infected people and ordinary people.

The emergence of the Source Stone was both a disaster and an opportunity. It promoted changes throughout the century. Humanity entered the Crystalline Era and gained the power of the Source Stone, allowing it to move towards a higher path. However, this way of progress always requires Comes with sacrifice.

Throughout history, there has never been a change in the historical process that did not involve a large number of victims.

The emergence of the infected happens to be the tribute prepared for this in this era.

When Chen Mo returned to Foxhound's small residence, it was almost afternoon. The setting sun from the horizon fell into the balcony, and the red light cast a curtain on everything outside the window. The glass of the tall building reflected the dazzling afterglow in the light.

The fox sat on the deck chair, facing the balcony. The sunset fell on him, and its long shadow fell all the way to Chen Mo's feet.

Chen Mo did not come back with Foxhound.

Before that, Fox had already sent a message to Chen Mo, with only one short word: [Go].

When she saw Foxhound's face, Chen Mo already understood what she had encountered. She looked at herself with a difficult smile on her face.

That pale smiling face looked like a patient recovering from a serious illness. The fingers hanging down on the edge of the chair were trembling uncontrollably. There were fine beads of sweat on her wrinkled forehead. Her slightly twitching body indicated that her body was suffering from a kind of disease. Unspeakable pain.

This is the body's rejection response after becoming infected.

"Certificate of nomination."

Fox looked at Chen Mo and explained, the smile on his lips getting bigger and bigger.

"You should have known that this day would come."

Chen Mo lowered his eyes. He couldn't tell what he was feeling in his heart right now.

The biggest difference between infected people and ordinary people is the pain caused by the Origin Stone. Fox should have expected that such a day would come, but Chen Mo did not expect that she would be so decisive.

"I have no choice." The fox whispered, and the tingling pain drained her body.

"Isn't it ugly? I look like this now, but I don't want to die there yet, and I can't be exposed."

The fox thought of everything that happened not long ago. The injection was placed in front of her eyes, with red and dark blood inside. There was only one choice in front of her.

"But have you ever thought that once your identity as an infected person is exposed, the Guards Bureau and Longmen will no longer be able to tolerate you?"

"Do you know what I have done? Let me tell you, the sum of what I have done is far heavier than the identity of an infected person, so becoming an infected person can make the people above more serious. If you trust me, why don’t you do this?”

"Is this part of your plan?"

"Yes."

The fox nodded, unable to maintain his smile due to the pain.

"Disrupt the sight of the infected in Xiacheng District, guide them, wait for the right time, when they decide to take action, and then clean them up with reasonable excuses, and I, I am the chess piece that monitors their movements, and I can even provide them with Help, if you want to do something, how can you do it without paying a price? This is the only way I can climb up."

The fox understood this truth a long time ago when he picked up that piece of bread in a dark room.There will be no love without reason in this world, and there will be no hatred without reason. All giving is for return.

"Does it hurt?"

"What do you think?" She looked at Chen Mo as if he were a fool.

"I mean it in my heart." Chen Mo said: "You are a policeman now, Foxhound, but you are using this method of framing and slander to plot against a group of poor people. You are going to wrong them. You are better than them." You know how unjust they are, but you still do it, targeting a group of people who may be innocent."
