Longmen Memoirs

"The purpose of Wei Yanwu from the Guards Bureau." Seria asked.

"This is the common goal between him and me." Chen Mo said.

"You never told me that you knew such a person." Ceria replied calmly.

"There are a lot of things I haven't told you. It's not even close to knowing each other. I haven't even spoken a few words. I met him a few times when I was a kid. He knows me and I know him."

"Oh?"

Ceria did not ask further questions.

"Did you make the list?" Chen Mo asked again.

"Your fox friend handed it to me before I came here. What kind of fox is it? I guess that's why you said I would stay in Longmen for a while." Ceria said, with some surprise: " Longmen gave us Shencheng Pharmaceutical, and the people in this city are really generous."

"It's well worth it." Chen Mo replied, leaning against the car window. "Now you have the confidence to talk to Rhine Life, Seria, Helmer, Ifrit and your friends."

Ceria's amber eyes moved. She turned her head slightly and glanced at Chen Mo. She could only see his side face, reflected on the thin car window under the dark sky of Longmen, and the city of Longmen was reflected outside the window. Bustling and prosperous.

But none of this seems to have anything to do with him. He is as calm as a lifeless lake. Occasionally, someone throws a stone and makes ripples, but there is only a little bit, a small one, and it disappears quickly.

"I originally planned that it would take a long time, but I didn't expect it to be so fast."

"I never break my promise, you deserve this."

"Aren't you afraid that I will leave you behind after I achieve my goal?"

"Afraid." Chen Mo replied without thinking: "But...if one day, Ceria, you find something you want to do more, leave if you want. Find a place you want to go and live your life. The life you want to live.”

Seria was stunned.

She suddenly smiled, a small smile appeared on her serious and old-fashioned face, very light, and her amber eyes gradually softened.

"I never break my promise, snake." Ceria said.

Chen Mo added: "This time you come back from Longmen. The company is developing too fast, and you will be more or less jealous and looked at by interested people. The industry in Colombia is complex, and with their attitude towards those infected, the connections and connections you have left in Rhine Life Sfeldt's ability in Black Steel will inevitably play a big role again. People from the Federal Ministry of Security will definitely come to your door, under the leadership of your opponent in the name of sheltering the infected. They don't trust you. Rise up, anyone who might become their opponent, especially a company that has such an obvious weakness and easy excuse to collude with the infected."

"I understand. There are not many big problems, but small ones. They must want to know where our capital chain comes from. What we get from Longmen is good or bad. What they care about is not our company, but what we are behind. Besides, we have an unexplainable deal with Kazdel."

"What are you going to do?"

"Relocating the company's headquarters to Bolivar. The situation in Bolivar is chaotic. The government controlled by Letania and the resistance forces promoted by Colombia and their local alliances will become our reliance. Those government officials do not recognize money. It's easy to get us a place by recognizing people. Colombia's hand can't reach that far, and they won't care about our relationship with the infected. Besides, I heard that there are many infected and unemployed people there. .”

"Then you have to deal with the local government forces. Not only that, but the resistance and local forces may also come to you. After all, we are a pharmaceutical company, and they all need this."

"So part of the sovereignty is also in our hands."

"Join vertical and horizontal, and move between several forces. If you are not careful, you may become the target of public criticism."

"I'm sure." Ceria gently tightened her grip on the steering wheel. "I have seen too many dramas of betrayal and giving up because of conflict of interests and weighing the pros and cons. Snake, I know better than you what I will face in the future if I make this choice."

"Hemer and Ifrit deserve this."

"Not only for them, but also for you, and for myself. Strength is not the essence of fighting. Strength does not mean standing still. The same thing happened to you and Ifrit. Although I don't know enough about it, you do It's very good, the control is very good, it's really good." She rarely concealed her praise.

"My real ability has nothing to do with these politicians' activities. However, I can learn, try to accept and understand, and it may take some time until all the distorted laws are corrected...!"

"I need your help, Snake." She turned to look at Chen Mo, then looked away: "So... I don't allow you to give up."

"Ok?"

"The people under your command have told me part of the truth. I'm not a fool, Snake... I know very well and what you plan to do in Kazdare. That Ms. Kelsey, I have had a relationship with her." During the brief exchange, some of her words were very insightful, but I could tell that their situation was not that good, at least... not as good as I expected."

Her mind and self-awareness have always been very sharp. It would be better to say that no one who could achieve what she has achieved today would be a naive guy.

"I will take care of the company and wait for you to come back." Ceria said: "You still have a lot to do. The company's employees and future plans need your approval."

"We are not superiors and subordinates, Ceria, we are collaborators. You do yours and I do mine. Other than that, we are not involved."

"But you are the owner of this company. Without your ideas and efforts, I wouldn't be where I am today." Ceria shook her head: "There is still a long way to go, Snake, I was After the experiment failed, I had disappointment, regret, and confusion. But thankfully, I met you at the bottom of the experimental area, a mercenary from Black Steel International. With our current state at the time, you were undoubtedly confident that Eve would be killed. Take Li Teuk away and kill me, you didn’t do that.”

"You said you had a way and that you wanted to cooperate with me. I didn't believe it at the time. I thought about what a little mercenary like you could do. What I thought about was why it was me." Ceria said slowly. : "I don't think you can give me anything, Snake, because I know how difficult Ifrit's matter is, how big the life of Rhine is, and you are just alone and the things in your mouth are not yet certain. Kazdaele’s Rhetoric.”

"I was a little desperate, and it was rare that I was at a loss. I looked at the contact information you gave me, hesitated for a long time, and dialed the number above."

"I didn't expect the results to come out so quickly. I originally thought it would take a long time, and I was prepared to wait." Ceria said softly, "But you went back to Longmen and finished the work quietly. , I don’t even know what happened…”

She smiled, her smile looking a little forced and helpless.

"... just confused... you know what I mean, I didn't even try to help."

The current Ms. Seria, with her tangled look and intermittent words, is different from the one who always had a straight face in the past, [@

----

I think: At a certain point in a person's life, among the people he knows, he will have lost more than he is alive.

At this point, you refuse to accept other faces and other expressions.

Every new face you meet bears traces of the old mold, and you wear a corresponding mask for each one.

That was my state after coming out of the black wall.

Memory is neither the fleeting and easily dispersing clouds at Longmen Pier, nor the frozen and hearty transparency in the orphanage pool.

Rather, the scabs formed on the surface of the city by charred creatures are soaked in blood that has dried on the ground and is no longer warm and flowing.

It’s a mud that mixes the past, present and future into an indistinct mess.

Seal the existence in motion with calcification.

This is what I discovered on my journey.

But memory is also a burden and a shackles.

It turns over signs to affirm the presence of the past.

Those who are buried in the grave and can no longer see the scenery determine the scenery that those who survive can see.

I traveled so far and returned to Longmen, finally getting rid of the burden of nostalgia.

Giving up everything is easier than people think, the hard part is getting started.

Once you give up something you thought was fundamental, you will find that there are other things you can give up, and many other things you can give up later.

Tallulah was my anchor in this world of nothingness.

She is the reality through which I observe this strange world.

I didn't have time to find an accurate position for myself on this land. My existence and my possibilities were all destroyed in that fire.

But Xiaota found me.

When I thought I was alone, when I was confused and didn't even feel the loneliness of being an outsider, she found me and whispered in my ear: I found you.

I have reasons to care about her, remember her, love her, and also have reasons to dream about the future I want with her, even if that future will never come.

But this love and obsession gradually became blurred as time went by and I was moved around.

Xiaota became the person in my memory, just like I became the fox cub in my memory.

This is obsession and longing.

Memories are memories after all, they will fade and be forgotten over time.

【Longmen twists and turns: end】

This volume will be longer than the previous ones. In fact, not counting the later Longmen Memoirs, the total so far is only 80 words.

Chapter 1 People living outside the story

【Amiya...

I have a very, very distant dream.

I don’t want the residents of this land to cry just for parting anymore, and I don’t want our night sky to be filled with heartbreak and emptiness.

I thought that maybe one day, together we would let everyone on this land sleep peacefully.

But then I met someone.

He told me that my dream was too far-fetched and unrealistic. He hoped that my dream would be more realistic and closer.

So my dream later changed a little bit because of him.

I hope that the war in Kazdaele will come to an end, and that every Sakaz who has suffered from the war can have a stable and stable life.

I hope Kazdaele can be prosperous and prosperous, and that every Sakaz living in this land will not be tolerated by nobility, not deprived by poverty, not die alone, and not despair by suffering.

A child will not lose his parents, a parent will not lose his child, and a wife will not lose her husband.

I hope that the people of Kazdaele will have truth to follow, morality to abide by, know etiquette, be benevolent, do not judge success or failure based on money, will not succumb to power, sympathize with the weak, hate injustice, be strong-willed in times of crisis, and be unstoppable. Reflect on yourself often.

I hope that in this land there will be no more oppression and restraint, and that everyone will have the right to live, find a reason to live, have the right to pursue freedom, and have the right to happiness.

I hope that one day, suffering will be far away from us, and the earth will usher in a new life. There will no longer be distinction between high and low, and there will no longer be the pain of slavery. We can protect life, pursue light, and move forward without fear of twists and turns.

This is what my heart desires. 】

------

Do you know what is the biggest difference between me and you idealists?

The reason is that you all have a beautiful and innocent vision in your heart. You know what you need, and you can give everything for this vision. You have good intentions, but you are inevitably kind and not firm enough.

Your dreams are too far away, illusory and unrealistic. It looks like this, but you are not prepared and don’t know what you are going to face. You always think of things too simply, but this world is not like you. wish.

But I can't.

I don't have this kind of thing, and I'm not kind enough, so I will do whatever it takes to achieve my goal. I don't care how much I lose, and I don't care about the life and goodness you value.

In your eyes, I am undoubtedly a bad person.

You care about the eyes of others and what you look like in the eyes of others.

This is the biggest difference between you and me.

[Hui Jie:

Let’s talk about what happened last time.

I ran away for a long time and fled to a small village.

I didn't think much about it at the time. I just wanted to find a place to hide. I didn't expect that I actually found a shelter. After all, there were so many wars in Ursus, and their children may have died very early.

They even helped hide my secret.

I don't think I can repay them enough.

Unfortunately, I couldn't repay them properly. 】

June 1090, 1, Crystalline Era

Shmir village in the tundra snowfield in northern Ursus

On the flat sunbathing ground in the village, the villagers were gathered together. The captain of the infected picket team wearing a black uniform stood on a makeshift platform, overlooking the frightened villagers below.

"During the last routine inspection, one of our team members was attacked."

His cold eyes scanned the restless villagers below.

"Now, every household must be searched, not just the infected. Once we find the attackers, we will kill them immediately, and the villagers who harbor them will also be punished!"

"If you don't want to do hard labor, report them. No one will be harmed because of your honorable report, and the criminals and infected people will get the fate they deserve."

He motioned to the pickets standing outside.

"Next, let's start from the first household."

The picket team, under the forced leadership of the villagers, began to investigate one by one.

"Grandma, this day has come, and I definitely can't escape it."

Tallulah, who was hiding in the room, peeked at this scene from a distance and tried to come out from behind the door. The old woman took her shoulders and pushed her back.

"Don't go out, Tallulah! Hide behind the hayloft... they won't find out! Let's just say you ran away out of fear of punishment! No one will blame you!"

The woman said this, but she still couldn't hide the panic and nervousness on her face.

"But you will be hurt. This is not the way I should repay you."
