Longmen Memoirs

Wei Na suddenly fell silent, and her silence caused the room to fall into a brief silence. Wangcai raised his head and looked at Chen Mo, then looked at Wei Na, and then lowered his head again.

"what happened?"

Wei Na's eyes fell on Chen Mo. She stared into Chen Mo's eyes. Although her eyes were calm, it was difficult to look away.

"I was thinking about what you just said to me, how much of it was true and how much of it was false."

"result?"

Chen Mo was suddenly curious.In Wei Na's eyes, how much of him was a lie.

"I'm waiting for your answer."

"yes."

"Won't you tell me about what happened at Longmen?"

"for example."

"How did you get involved with Longmen? You seem to have a close relationship with Kazdel."

"That will be a long story." Chen Mo said, "For me."

"Foxhound, you can call him that, belongs to a very special unit of Longmen. The Glasgow gang evacuated here through the hidden route that Longmen left in Victoria. This is the safest and most convenient way I can think of, and it is also the way I Contact them."

"While you're here?"

"Sooner than that." Chen Mo shook his head. "About a few years ago, I went back to Longmen, where I met him. At that time, his name was Foxhound. We worked together for two years, but the result was not smooth. I suffered a serious injury at the time. Wounded, he came to Londinium not long after he came out of the prison at Longmen."

Chen Mo said, raising his finger and pointing at Wei Na.

"It's not a coincidence that I met you. I got information about you a long time ago, and I have been waiting for you in that area during that time."

"The men of the Glasgow Gang were faster than me, but they were stopped. The person who stopped them was arranged by me." Chen Mo said slowly: "This is the truth. I think you can understand that a seriously injured person How people escape from Longmen Prison."

"You made a deal with someone?"

"It can't be said to be a transaction, just some trivial old things and grudges against me. I am indeed here because of Kazdale."

"Then the gangster in the alley was arranged by you?"

"No, it was an accident. But even if I said that, you wouldn't believe it now. But it was indeed an accident. I didn't expect such a good opportunity. I can only say that it was destined by God."

"Destiny?" Wei Na sneered: "Wonderful fate, how can you be sure that I will follow you?"

She said, then suddenly stopped talking, her smile paused, and there was a hint of helplessness.

"You're not sure, are you? But you must have other ways, less coincidental ways."

"Maybe it was a brave act of justice, or maybe... it was a minor car accident."

"Just tell me these things, is it okay?"

"Sooner or later you will know. Instead of maintaining the status quo suspicion between each other, it is better for me to tell you directly. It will also save unnecessary trouble. Besides, I am a person who loves to lie. Can you be sure how much I tell you? Is it true? Lies don’t have to be all concealed. Appropriate truth will make lies more true."

Chen Mo said: "Gullibility is very fatal, especially when you have a good impression. A trace of gullibility may make you doomed."

"Are you just saying this to gain my trust?"

"Or it could backfire."

Wei Na raised the corners of her mouth and looked at Chen Mo with interest.

"I don't have a choice, right?"

"So what I say to you, including the following ones, may be false."

"Is that why they call you snake?" Wei Na asked softly.

"...you know."

Her question is also the answer Chen Mo has been trying to find so far.

"Then do I know when you are planning to execute me? Maybe dying in your hands is also a good choice."

She looked at Chen Mo, who said slowly: "If you want to kill me, you only have this chance."

She should do this, and she had reason to do so. Chen Mo didn't know how much resentment and anger was hidden under her calm eyes at this moment.There is so much hatred in my heart that is about to burst out like a huge wave.

Facing all this, Chen Mo can only wait for Wei Na's next move. He can resist or leave. She may let him go, but no matter which choice he chooses, it indicates that the intersection with her will lead to this. The end point.

From then on, her happiness, anger, sorrow, success or failure had nothing to do with herself.

Chen Mo is unwilling to do this, not only because of the affection between men and women he has for Wei Na, but more importantly, because he does not want to fail.

Fortunately for Chen Mo, between Snake and Guinevere, Wei Na chose the latter.

She did not say forgiveness, because the word forgiveness is too light for us. It was only from this time that Londinium, Chen Mo and Weina truly understood each other, even though they did not They understand each other's past, but that... actually doesn't matter anymore.

Chen Mo couldn't deny that he was too greedy. He was too greedy and hoped to hold Wei Na in his hands, just like he did with Tallulah when he was a child. But the difference is that we were children at that time, not now. .

At that time, it could be called innocence and childishness, but at this time, it can only be called greed, or stupidity.

"It's been a long time since I've used a weapon like this."

Wei Na suddenly let go of her hand holding the handle of the knife with some excitement, and the long knife fell on the coffee table with a crisp sound.

"Pity."

Chen Mo picked up the knife on the table and put it back into the box.

"I later changed my mind. After coming here, the things I encountered made me change my original mind. I did use your relationship to contact Longmen."

"Using my relationship?" Wei Na asked: "I previously hoped that you could send Indra and the others away, so you contacted Longmen?"

"Yes and no, you hope that I can help you, but the one who can really help you happens to be yourself. At this time, Longmen is indeed the best and fastest way I can find now. But this is not It means that I have to follow their requirements..."

Chen Mo already knew the reason for the arrival of the fox hound, but Wei Na did not. She had no idea about it.

Although Chen Mo was the one who caused all this to happen, many times, even though you know this will happen, there is only one way you can go.

Living is ultimately better than dying.

Wei Na also understands this truth.

"Who is he?" Vina asked.

"You may have heard of Wei Yanwu, the chief executive of Longmen." Chen Mo said, but couldn't help but feel relieved: "I like the name Guinevere very much. To be honest, it sounds much better than Snake."

"You can always be if you want to."

"You will find out in the future that I have other names, maybe many, maybe not very nice."

"As long as you are Guinevere, you must live. I demand that you live."

She seemed to have noticed something. Chen Mo was not sure what he was going to do next.

"You have no right to refuse. You owe me your life. From now on, your life and death will be decided by me."

Chen Mo suddenly remembered that rainy night, on the swing in that small orphanage, under that snowy night with gorgeous fireworks.

The swing was swung high enough to see the world outside the wall.

But when Chen Mo finally walked out of the wall, he came under another higher wall.

Wei Na's voice was very soft, but there was no doubt about it. Only then did Chen Mo notice that her fingertips picked up a strand of hair on her forehead, stared at it for a moment, and then put it down again.

"This is my order, Gurney. You can lie to me, I don't mind, but you can't refuse."

She said ridiculous but non-binding words.

"There is no next time."

ps: The next chapter is the confrontation between Miss Chen and Fox.

[We always think that we don’t leave without saying goodbye. However, in fact, we will still feel alienated after seeing each other again. After all, it was many years, enough for us to transform from children to adults. During this period, too many things happened. Out of our control.

None of us can live the way we originally hoped for]

The Glasgow Gang is not important. It is better to say that a dilapidated Glasgow Gang with a few remaining members and a lonely Vina are in the interests of the Tower of Babel.

Due to political considerations, as well as the possible cooperation between Kazdaele and Aslan in the future, those who hold the initiative will always have extra leverage.

Maybe Wei Na is indeed unimportant as she said, but maybe in the eyes of others, she is still an unstable and inevitable surprise.

Her position is awkward, but it cannot be denied that her identity can indeed make people plot something.

But that was for the Tower of Babel, or for Kazdel who might win the war, but for Chen Mo, in fact, Chen Mo did not have a deep intersection with the Tower of Babel, and he was unfamiliar with the intricate network of relationships in the Tower of Babel. Get less involved.

He is an outsider, an outsider from beginning to end, and will not be overly wary of others. His power was established by himself from scratch. This is the main reason why the various hidden factions in the Tower of Babel have not paid too much attention to him. Of course, it is also related to the doctor's plan.

A non-Sarkazi takes over the power and rises to a high position?No, that would put him in an extremely embarrassing position.

The Tower of Babel was not entirely single-minded.

Let the familiar get familiar with it, and let the suitable do what it should do.

Chen Mo has always been clear about his position.

Wei Na couldn't say anything more, and Chen Mo couldn't bring it up again. If Chen Mo kept bringing up this matter, it would make the already unspeakable atmosphere even more depressing.

Chen Mo's plan changed the moment he saw the fox.He predicted that Vina would be held back by the Glasgow Gang, and that the members of the Glasgow Gang would be willing to sacrifice their lives for Vina.

In fact, there is actually no difference between what he planned to do at the beginning and what he plans to do now.

Friendship, or love, Chen Mo can't rely on these illusory things alone, although many times, these seemingly illusory things can have far better results than all your efforts.

But it's like a card picked up from the card table. You never know what it is until you open it.

Maybe Chen Mo miscalculated this time. He should try to believe this, believe in the cards that have not yet been revealed, and sincerely hope that it will be the one he desires most.

There was a brief ice period between him and Wei Na, and the matter of haircuts was naturally dropped. Before and after dinner, they could not speak another word. Normally, there would be more or less exchanges, but This time there was nothing.

After finishing her meal, Wei Na lay quietly on her side on the sofa, looking toward the window to watch the sunset glow set in the sky. The red of the fire clouds bloomed at the other end of the sky, gradually ushering in the night.

Occasionally she would close her eyes and meditate for a while, so under her demure look, she looked like a sleeping Vina, and the setting sun would dye her long black hair into an intoxicating haze.

Still so chaotic.

Whenever Chen Mo tried to set his eyes on her on the sofa, he couldn't help but feel an inexplicable sense of distance in his heart.

Even though Wei Na was sitting two meters away from him at the moment, as long as she was willing, she could reach out her hand or call out her name.You can reach her.

But Chen Mo still felt the distance between him and her, and it wasn't because of the real space.

She had tried to believe in herself. Chen Mo didn't know if Wei Na had any expectations for her, but now it seemed that she did.

And Chen Mo made her, who was already in exile, experience the same feeling again.

22-year-old Wei Na and 22-year-old Chen Mo.At this age that was originally full of flowers, what it encountered was a situation that ordinary people could not experience in their lifetime.

The world is impermanent.

Chen Mo should have been aware of this and had a deep understanding of it, but when he saw Wei Na now, he would inevitably have an illusion that this should not be the case.

There will always be so many coincidences in life, some right, some wrong, some people should not have appeared, and some people should not have met.

Chen Mo thought he was already familiar with this kind of thing, but he still felt helpless and guilty.

Recalling why he could kill others without any burden, Chen Mo told himself at that time that he had to live and there was no other way. Maybe he can still use the same rhetoric to convince himself now.

To convince myself of everything I had done, and to try to let go of the guilt and sympathy.

But this was different after all, because he had never met or talked about those people before, so he could naturally numb himself.

Chen Mo couldn't do anything deliberately or come up with a clever explanation to ease the gap between Wei Na.

This rift between Chen Mo and Weina may one day become what he least expects, and it may also cause them to drift further apart because of this opportunity.

But Chen Mo knew very well that at least until the day came when the members of the Glasgow Gang were truly safe, and before the dust of the war in Kazdale truly settled, Wei Na would still stay by his side.

And when that moment comes.

If he could, Chen Mo owed her a chance to choose. Whether it was to stay or be "free", he would give it back to her with his own hands.
