Longmen Memoirs

"Do you know who's in that car?"

"The notice said that he was not a fugitive."

"He's a fugitive." The officer replied, "But he's not just a fugitive. When did you join the army? I remember you were assigned to our team only half a year ago."

"Yes, the war destroyed my village. The reconnaissance team from the Tower of Babel dragged me out from the ruins. I was only alive at that time."

"I was earlier than you. Three years ago, before the war officially started, I was already fighting for the Tower of Babel as a mercenary. We weren't called an army at that time."

"I've heard people in the team mention a lot about you, and I've always admired you."

"But that's not what I'm telling you, young man. What I'm telling you is that although we were fighting at that time, we never thought that we would be able to step here one day. Although I didn't say a lot Yes, but they all thought so in their hearts. His Highness brought us back to Kazdaele and led us to victory, but there are some things that we shouldn’t just forget.”

"But, Captain, I don't understand what the relationship between this is?"

"Then let me make it clear." The captain replied, looking at the direction of the car: "The car you just raised the crossbow to aim at, if there wasn't someone sitting in that car, you and I would be Maybe he is still on the battlefield, facing the artillery fire on the position, charging for the quarrel between those damn nobles, and then casually throwing away his life."

"There are many people in Kazdale who deserve to die. We can't kill them because we are just inconspicuous people. Someone killed them and removed the cancer from our bodies, but now, you have to kill that person. "

"..."

The soldier held the crossbow in his hand and looked at the crossbow machine hanging down in his hand.

He was confused.

"But captain, they said he was a fugitive."

"They say whatever they want and confuse right and wrong. This is not what they are best at."

The captain spat disdainfully.

"Then shall we catch up?"

"Do you want to catch up?"

"No, I don't want to."

"Then we'll stay here."

"But how are we going to reply?" the soldier asked.

"Answer truthfully, just say that we didn't see anything. We will stay here and strictly implement every order. But what we don't know, we just don't know."

"Yes."

The captain raised his hand and patted the soldier on the shoulder.

"Okay, cheer up, don't be so depressed, young man, what Kazdaele needs in the future is not a dejected you."

"I just suddenly felt, Captain, is this wrong?"

"I don't know, soldier, because right or wrong is not in your hands."

"Phew, they didn't catch up." W glanced at the garrison that was motionless in the rearview mirror. She took a breath and looked back, and patted the steering wheel in front of her hard.

"That bastard Scout said it so confidently that I almost fell into his trap."

"They didn't catch up, but the people who will catch up won't let you go so easily." Chen Mo said: "Holding the security forces is already the limit of Askaron. You don't need me to tell you what will happen next." , w.”

"Ha, you still have the nerve to say, you should kill all those guys, otherwise there will be the same trouble as now. Why don't you kill them? Don't tell you that it was a sudden discovery of conscience, otherwise I will laugh at night Without sleep."

She asked with a fake smile: "You have killed so many people, why did you stop suddenly!"

"Because Kazdel still needs them." Chen Mo replied calmly.

"Are you telling a joke? What kind of bullshit joke is this? Damn it, it's not funny at all."

"I'm not telling a joke."

w was startled.

"… *Sarkaz expletive*."

"No matter how much they deserve to die, at least Kazdaele cannot leave them now. Killing people alone cannot solve all problems."

The car stopped suddenly.

w Press the brake.

"Then you will let them judge you?!"

She turned around and reached out to grab Chen Mo's collar. She took out the short black gun from her waist and pressed it against the man's forehead.

"How can you, how dare you be so calm? Since you want to die, I can help you now."

Those red eyes were full of anger. Her index finger was on the trigger, but she couldn't pull it.

"Why haven't you started yet?"

Chen Mo raised his head and asked.

"Pull the trigger."

They looked at each other, and from a distance of more than 20 centimeters, Chen Mo could clearly see the anger on W's face.

"You think I dare not!"

The calm face of the man in front of her made her feel angry and unwilling. She felt that this should not be the case. He felt that this guy's current performance disappointed her, was useless, and did not live up to expectations.

"The envoys from the Sakaz royal courts met with Thearesia. They were very uneasy because they didn't know whether the order to massacre the Sakaz nobles came from Theresia's instructions. The overall situation in Kazdaele has been decided, but if I If she is still there, it proves that Theresia and the ideas she once held have appeared and refuted it. If she admits this, she will lose the support of Kazdaele and the royal court, and they will have a public reason to cut the Tower of Babel. victory, because even the current king of Kazdaele cannot bear the crime of massacring the Senate on me, and even Theresia cannot admit it, but the matter of the Senate does have traces for me. , I don’t want to deny it either.”

I confessed his sin.

"Don't explain to me!"

"I'm answering your question just now." Chen Mo said.

"Kazdel needs an explanation. Sarkaz needs their king to still stand with them. You have won, but the victory is just the beginning. Kazdale must be stable in the future. Even if the Senate is still there, I will not do it again." Leave it, do you understand?”

"Ha, I seem like someone who cares about these things? I don't care about this! I just want to know why you want to let them dictate what you do! Why do you want to compromise with them! Aren't you the leader of Li Ting? You're not Sakaz the Butcher?"

w asked loudly, grabbing Chen Mo's hand by the collar【%*

"...Then you should continue to kill!"

Yes, she got it, of course she did.

She understood that she was like a wild beast that was unwilling to despair, hysterical, but unable to escape. Her red eyes told Chen Mo all this.

There was a brief silence in the car.

"Do you think I will die?" Chen Mo suddenly asked. "You regard me as your comrade-in-arms, your companion, but I have killed many people you once knew. I regard you as bait."

"Of course you deserve to die!" W replied ferociously: "But you can't die in such a ridiculous way!"

w's expression at this moment reminded him of something. He remembered what Chen once said to him when he was in Londinium.

Chen said, you are escaping from everything you have done!

She said that it is indeed not as simple as getting up again after falling. It is certainly not that simple. It is certainly difficult to correct one's mistakes and make up for one's mistakes. It is so difficult that it requires a person to spend his whole life or even risk his own life. .

Maybe he and Chen did become unfamiliar with each other when they grew up. Maybe the past days will never come back again. Maybe one day, they will be separated again.

But he never thought about changing anything. He kept saying that he had made many mistakes, and he never thought about correcting or making up for it. He just wanted to die and was just escaping.

"I did think about choosing a way to die for myself after this war. I would finish what I wanted to do before I died. But there were more and more things I wanted to do, and I began to feel more and more tired. The more afraid I am that I will die.”

Chen Mo looked at w's hand holding his collar and answered.

A black blunderbuss was pressed against his forehead. Outside the car, unknown shadows blocked both ends of the narrow street, and light rain began to fall in the sky.

Raindrops hit the front window of the car, blurring the vision. The wind carried the rain and poured it into the car. The wind and rain at night were freezing.

The hair on the girl's forehead fluttered gently in the wind and rain.

"I won't die, w. Even if Kazdale judges me, I will still survive. They want justice, a justice that belongs to them. Of course I can give them this justice, but they, on their own terms, still want If you can't take my life, as long as I don't want to die, no one on this earth can take my life, not you, not the nobles, not the king, not even the gods..."

Chen Mo reached out and grabbed the girl's slender arm.

"But the leader who leaves the court will die, the leader who leaves the court will be judged, and the leader who leaves the court will forever become a cruel and bloody scar on Kazdaele."

W's hand slowly let go, lightning flashed across the sky, thunder roared, and she saw the man in front of her smile in the dim sight in the hasty white light.

"You're right. Why should they judge me, because I left them dead? Because of their so-called courts of kings? They used Kazdaele's stability to force Theresia to make a choice. This just shows that they are afraid in their hearts.”

"Wah w, you are a guy who doesn't mean what you mean."

You are a lunatic who is scared to death of being alone.

He held the black blunderbuss in W's hand.

"Why don't you give me a gift before you leave? This thing is nice. In fact, I've always wanted a gun."

w stopped talking in disgust.

"In your dreams."

Despite what she said, she still let go.

Chen Mo opened the car door and Sakaz watched him walk out.

***In the heavy rain, he held the half-robbed gift in his hand. The figures had black horns, and they looked like they were facing a formidable enemy.

"Don't worry, I won't take action. I think those of you who came here know it well. Since I didn't do it before, I won't do it now."

Someone stepped out from the figure, a mask covering his face.

"……grown ups."

"Stop calling me that. I am no longer involved with you Sakaz."

"Even if I kill so many of your compatriots, my hands are stained with your blood?" Chen Mo asked.

"Whether it is right or wrong, we are powerless and have no right to ask." He said: "But please believe that not all Sakaz can't distinguish right from wrong. It's just that deciding right from wrong is too far away for us."

"wshe..."

"I don't need you to put in a good word for me! I know exactly what I did. If you have the guts, let's see who falls first!"

W got out of the car and stood in the rain. She held the blunderbuss and looked at the crowd blocking the front and back.

The other party glanced at w on the other side of the car.

"She made a mistake and will get the punishment she deserves."

"She deserves death."

"I will convey your views on my behalf."

"I told you I don't need you..." W shouted.

No one paid attention to her thoughts.

"Where should we go?"

"Follow me, my lord."

He turned sideways.

The crowd parted, and Chen Mo walked into the crowd holding the blunderbuss. W wanted to follow, but she was blocked. In the closed figure, in the dark heavy rain, she could only lower her hands and watch the fool gradually go away.

In an unknown night.

Kazdaele tried the chiefs who left the court.

They listed a long list of charges.

He confessed everything.

They sentenced him to death.

Theresia personally signed her name and stamped the judgment book.

Then he will not be worthy of being recorded, unworthy of being remembered, and unworthy of being praised.

He will be hated and rejected by Sakaz for generations to come.

The newspapers on the streets the next day announced to the free Sakaz of Kazdahr that they had once again achieved a great victory. The ignorant people took to the streets and cheered. They did not know why they cheered, for the victory in the newspaper, for Kazdaele. Justice, Theresa's wisdom, or a villain who oppressed them but they had never felt the oppression died in the middle of the night.

The nobles breathed a sigh of relief, and the dark clouds above their heads dispersed. They were lucky enough to survive, and they could look forward to a better tomorrow that was worth looking forward to.

They succeeded.

Kazdel has ushered in the stability and peace he had long awaited.
