Longmen Memoirs

Chen Mo walked to the tombstone and sat down, leaning against it. The fox saw the blurry face of the woman on the tombstone. She was not actually very beautiful, but she looked gentle and virtuous.

The fox also walked over and wanted to sit next to him.

"Sit over here." Chen Mo pointed to the position on the other side of him: "It's inappropriate somewhere."

"Didn't you say they couldn't see?" Fox asked, glancing at the photo of the man behind where he originally wanted to sit.

"I'm afraid my mother will mind. You don't want her to come to talk to you in the middle of the night, although it's unlikely that she would do such a thing given her personality."

"I really want to chat with my aunt." Fox said nonchalantly and walked to sit on the other side of Chen Mo.

"You're just talking now."

"Don't you want to see her?" Fox turned his head and asked, standing next to Chen Mo, shoulder to shoulder: "I thought one day we would be sitting like this."

The surroundings were quiet and peaceful. There were gloomy clouds floating in the sky of Longmen. The wind was very light. The outline of the city in the distance seemed blurry. The artificial river across the center of Longmen could be seen, with some unreal black spots floating on the river.

"The Sakaz people are making a lot of noise this time. Gouzi, Longmen won't be able to live in peace for a while. Many unidentified forces are secretly adding fuel to the fire."

"This is what Wei Yanwu wants to see." Chen Mo said: "If he wants to touch the Guards Bureau and this stagnant water, he has to find a suitable excuse and reason to attack. Longmen will be in chaos for a while, not too long, you say I’ve seen the rules of Longmen.”

He took out the cigarette and handed it to the fox, leaned against it and lit it, his fingers slightly frosted on the silver lighter, and looked at the seemingly peaceful city in the distance.

"These rules locked up the entire city, locked up Wei Yanwu, and brought unimaginable prosperity and economy to him and his Longmen."

"Have you already understood what Chief Wei meant?"

"He and I are testing each other's purpose and bottom line. He has prepared some things, and I have also prepared some things. These are not fixed." Chen Mo said. "There are many ways. It may be what he wants, or it may break up. We are all prepared for the worst outcome."

From the moment Wei Yanwu showed no reaction to letting the mud rock enter Longmen, until he met the Rat King and listened to him talk about those past events, everything he did was a test.

Wei Yanwu is not worried, and Chen Mo is not worried either.

The worst result is that Wei Yanwu joins forces with Yan, and Chen Mo and his Sakaz cause a riot in Longmen. Wei Yanwu dies, and Longmen loses its leader. Sakaz suffers heavy casualties and is chased by Wei Yanwu's remnants and escapes from Longmen all the way to Ka. Zdel.

"Now it looks like the result is not bad."

"That's true for Longmen." Chen Mo did not deny it.

"What about you?"

"...It just so happens that people have to leave some regrets. It's impossible for everything to go as expected."

Chen Mo said, as if he meant something, he looked at the fox and leaned lightly on the fox's shoulder.

"I know what's going on in your mind, Fox, and I can't take you to Kazdaele."

The fox's fingers holding the cigarette moved, and she slowly leaned against Chen Mo. Her sharp ears rubbed against the side of Chen Mo's face, shaking slightly.

"I haven't said anything yet..." Her voice was calm, but her eyes could not hide the loss.

"Needless to say." Chen Mo said: "You know, from the moment I stepped on the ground of Longmen, I told myself not to trust anyone in this city and not to have expectations for anyone."

"Until you appeared in front of me and did some stupid things, I didn't really believe you at first, but I thought I could save your life in the end. After all, you can't make any trouble."

"Wei Yanwu sent you here. In fact, you had a choice, to be a fox hound or a fox cub. Most of the time, you can choose the former. The former is much simpler and more affordable. The latter has no comparison. This is human It's natural, we haven't seen each other for more than ten years, and I don't have high hopes for you." Chen Mo said softly: "You behave shrewdly, with some philistine and cunning, your career is also in Longmen, the way you show it will You don’t have to think about it no matter what you choose.”

"I didn't choose to believe you until the end, and let people stare at you."

"There's no need to say this..." the fox replied.

"But you know it in your heart." Chen Mo said: "There will always be a thorn in your heart. I made you sad and disappointed. You have done a lot, but you didn't get what you deserve. Trust is expensive, fox, especially to me. For such people, there are many people behind me, they follow me, every choice I make may cost them their lives, and my trust will be repaid on them."

"When you sit in a certain position, you have to consider these things. You have to understand that you can't live just for yourself. Learn to control your emotions, control your thoughts and desires, stay rational, and stay cold. Your enemies will Staring at these, you have to do something evil, take responsibility and pay the price."

Fox didn't answer. She lowered her head and Chen Mo couldn't see her expression.

It was a long time before he heard the fox's voice.

"I have learned about the situation in Kazdaele. It will be harder than you think to help them. Their war has lasted for so many years, which is not comparable to that of Longmen."

"Why don't you do it because you think it can't be done? If you give up because there seems to be no result, there is little hope, and you may even risk your life." Chen Mo said: "But why do you still attack Wei Yanwu?"

"It's different."

"The truth is the same, because we all have things we want to do, people we want to protect, and things we want to accomplish." Chen Mo shook his head and said, "So you have to stay, fox. This is not your cause and effect. Your career and life are in Longmen. There is some gap between you and Wei Yanwu, but it doesn’t matter. None of this happened. You are still the superintendent of the Guards Bureau and have made a lot of contributions. If you want to stay in the original department, you can stay. I feel If you don't adapt, if you want to be transferred to another department, just transfer there. Wei Yanwu doesn't need to embarrass you because of this matter. He is old, but he will not lose his courage."

"Have you talked to Chief Wei?"

"I have to think about you, listen to me, fox, maybe one day you can find what you want in Longmen, what you really want, a family, someone who loves you, you are still young, Origin Stone disease is not terrible , I have met many people infected with Originium Disease. Some people’s lives have not changed. They have people who love them, their careers and their futures. This land is not fair, but you can be one of them."

"Then we... who are you and me?" Fox raised her head and asked, her expression was calm, but her eyes were not as calm as she showed, showing rare weakness and expectation.

The shrewd and capable Superintendent Su is as fragile as a child afraid of losing at this moment. She has already lost enough.

"Do you love me?" Chen Mo asked.

Su Li was stunned for a moment. She opened her mouth to answer, but the words stopped at her lips.

"I have no idea."

"But I love you, Fox." Chen Mo bent his fingers and flicked Fox's forehead, watching her come back to her senses due to the pain: "The love between relatives, this kind of love comes without reason, and there is no reason for it, but You are my only relative in Longmen."

Chen Mo's forehead gently touched Su Li's forehead.

"Come over and see them for me when you have time."

He looked into Su Li's amber eyes, which showed each other's faces: "It's all over... live well, fox, for yourself."

After a few seconds he let go.

Stand up and lift the long box on the ground.

The fox watched him gradually walk away until the figure carrying the long box disappeared from her sight.

Like the day he came to Longmen.

Also carrying this long box, he put the box in the back seat and sat in the passenger seat [|

The shop windows on the street, the lively crowds, the passing vehicles, the city was prosperous and charming, but there was no trace of enthusiasm in his eyes, and even the nostalgia was cold.

The only thing worth comforting him was that sitting next to him was an old friend who was not familiar and had evil intentions.

Chapter 45 Don’t underestimate her, Ceria

How many people live in their own fantasy city and then move to another city for their own imagination.

This kind of stubbornness is really cute and sad at the same time.

------

The fox leaned gently next to the tombstone. There were fresh white chrysanthemums placed beside it, and a bright silver lighter was left on the steps, with a relief of some kind of beast engraved on it.

[The lighter looks good? 】

[Christmas gift from a friend. 】

[Where to buy it? 】

[Sargon is a remote town. 】

[It’s too far. You’ve been to Sargon. What were you doing there? 】

【Do everything. 】

The day he first arrived, it didn't seem like he was far away. It was raining outside the window, and the fox took a fancy to the lighter in his hand.

[Mercenary?Bounty Hunter?Your habits are not like a normal person. 】

[Mercenary. 】

[Mercenaries are great. I want to be a mercenary too. It’s so free. 】

[It’s not as good as you think. You will understand when you go there. In fact, staying in Longmen is better than anywhere else. 】

Perhaps at that time, he already had the answer in his heart. Those words that tested each other were true or false. They were wearing masks. No one could see clearly what each other looked like under the masks. Has it changed?

Whether it's your voice, appearance, or thoughts, everything has changed, but you can't always stay in the past. The past was not good, you accomplished nothing, and there was nothing you could do about it. No one cared about your opinion, and you would be disciplined even when you stepped out of the resettlement camp.

I can't buy the things I like, I can't do the things I want to do, I just lean against the window and look at the things inside with greed.

I thought to myself, if I have money, I must buy it. If I have the ability, I no longer have to just watch.

But when I grew up and bought it, I no longer had that thought and the expectation.

Su Li played with the bright silver lighter left behind. She lit another cigarette and burned it quietly. She looked at the gray and distant outline of the city in the distance, as if she wanted to burn it too.

Burn out the malice, darkness, unwillingness, and corruption in Longmen.

[...It just so happens that people have to leave some regrets. It is impossible for everything to go as expected. 】

【Do you love me? 】

Why do you need to ask so clearly?Why do you have to know whether you love me or not? It’s not good just like this. In fact, I can’t tell whether I love you or not. I feel like you are like a shadow. I feel like you are gone. After all these years, you are back and I still think you are very important.

I think, I must love you. I feel that there is nothing in this world that I can love anymore. I don’t care whether that feeling is dependence, liking or love. I don’t want to be so clear about it.

She leaned her head slightly against the tombstone and looked at the blurry photo of the woman on the tombstone.

"He didn't ask me which one I chose. He said he had a thorn in his heart, and then he said it was good to have regrets." Wolper said to himself: "Auntie, your son is still the same as before, always thinking I keep my words deep in my heart and don’t say them so openly, thinking that this will give people some room.”

The fox sighed.

"He is actually quite lonely. He hasn't found anyone who can understand what he said. He was like this when he was a child. He was laughing and joking and doing things without any end. He seemed to know everything and understand nothing. I didn't even know him. What does the fox in your mouth mean?"

"I said, aunt, will you like my vicious and bad daughter-in-law?"

【@

A voice came from not far away.

The fox turned his head and saw a tall, fully armed Sakota. The light wings behind her and the halo above her head could not be hidden.

"You came."

"I can't find you anywhere. I heard that you went to see off a friend." She glanced at the bouquet under the tombstone: "I hope I didn't disturb you."

"You're still the same as before, charging at the shield. You're not suitable for our profession."

"I don't want to be said like this by an unmarried woman like you." Sakota, named Chongdun, crossed his hands and said, "...I thought you would follow those Sakaz and leave Longmen."

"Almost forgot you were born in Kazdaele?"

"It was you who suddenly came to me yesterday and asked me about Kazdaele. I took it seriously."

"Are you disappointed that I didn't leave?"

"It's better to say it was an accident... Sir, the group of Sakaz who attacked Longmen is completely different from what I remember. They are more decisive and more ferocious, but not violent and still have sense. They are not here to die. I mean, they have a will of their own, and they are not the beasts I have seen lurking in the smoke and war."

"This is the first time I heard Sakota say this about Sakaz. It's strange."

"It's just an objective evaluation. The Guards Bureau has suffered a big fall and is going to be in trouble." The woman said, "Commander Wei's new order. Sir, we have work to do."

The fox stood up, she put away the lighter, and the woman took a look.

"Let's go, there will be no shortage of work during this period."

------

"Still as eloquent as ever, Snake."

When Chen Mo walked out of the cemetery, he saw Ceria leaning in front of a jeep. She had changed out of her police uniform, a gray jacket with a black knitted sweater underneath.

"Wait for me?"

"I'll take you out of the city." She nodded and patted the car door. "boarding."

The jeep left the cemetery in Longmen and headed towards the port, passing by the elevated highway. The high-rise buildings and urban area of ​​Longmen flashed outside the car window.

It's the same as when it came, but no different.

"I guess you have something to say to me now, otherwise you wouldn't have waited there on purpose."

"I came here with your friend, Officer Su. She said she knew where you were." Ceria said without looking back, "I thought you would take her with you?"

"Fox, don't underestimate her. Ceria, she is not as simple as you think. I didn't tell anyone before I came here, but she still found my whereabouts. If you underestimate her, you will suffer."

"In other words, she is still from the Guards Bureau."

"It doesn't matter to her anymore. I don't need to explain some things clearly to her. She actually knows it in her heart. What do you think she relies on to survive until now? She got to the position of inspector step by step at a young age... Now she is the superintendent." Chen Mo said: "She knows that I will not take her away, so she has made her choice a long time ago. She will still be a superintendent if she stays in Longmen, but she will be nothing if she leaves Longmen."

"But you have caused quite a stir in Longmen this time."

"Yes, it's quite big. If the name is not correct, then the words will not be correct." Chen Mo smiled. "There hasn't been such a big movement in Longmen for a long time."
