Longmen Memoirs

Chen Mo said guiltily, but couldn't help but look around.

The doctor looked at his anxious look and finally did not have the heart to tell him about Precious. Although he didn't tell him, the doctor knew in his heart that Chen Mo himself knew what this ship was like.

"So the Aslan you left in Londinium, have you ever thought about going back again?" the doctor suddenly asked.

When Chen Mo looked over, he was looking into the distance. The navigation lights on the Rhode Island's deck were lighting up and flashing at night, as if indicating that the night was coming.

Except for the occasional sound of machinery, the night was surprisingly quiet.

Chen Mo felt that this guy was retaliating against him. Although he couldn't see his current expression, he thought with malice that he must be gloating about his misfortune, just like himself just now.

"Do you have to talk to me about this?"

"You started first [{

"Then I apologize now?"

"But you know that I am different from you, and Kelsey is different from that Aslan." The doctor whispered: "I was surprised when I received the news, because since the Four Emperors War, except for Letani, Except for the Witch King of Asia, I have never seen similar reports saying that one person can stop the entire vanguard army by himself."

"You know what happened to the Witch-King," the doctor said.

"I know that very few people mention this name in Letania now. History is always moving forward. Occasionally, there are one or two shining dust, which are quickly submerged and buried."

"..."

"Are you afraid of death? Doctor." Chen Mo suddenly asked.

The doctor didn't answer. After a while, he spoke.

"No one is not afraid of death."

"So I'm scared too." Chen Mo said, his gray hair fluttering gently in the night wind: "I'm so scared, because I'm afraid of death. I can kill someone I don't know because he wants my life. , because I am afraid of death, so I rarely act impulsively, and I am used to weighing the benefits and losses before doing anything, and calculating whether it is worth it."

Chen Mo said calmly: "Because I am afraid of death, I never dare to truly trust anyone. Also because I am afraid of death, I am a cold and withdrawn person in the eyes of others. If one day, we turn against each other, we won't be like that because of that." The intersection will cost me my life."

"Unconsciously, I became such a person." Chen Mo said slowly: "I became accustomed to lying, and I became accustomed to looking at everyone I come into contact with with the most sinister intentions. Whenever I think about it, I will always find it a bit unbelievable later on, because even I don’t know why it turned out like this.”

"The results of it?"

"The result is that I kept searching and searching, and it wasn't until I returned to Longmen again that I found the reason. Do you want to hear it?"

The doctor didn't answer, and Chen Mo didn't stop talking.

"It turns out that it was only after I left Longmen that I realized that I had come to a strange world, a world completely different from what I knew. It was like traveling through time. Suddenly, my perception changed tremendously. I am afraid that if I do something wrong, I will become incompatible with the world. I am afraid that I will do something wrong and become an alien in the eyes of others."

"I couldn't figure out how to survive in this world, so I just pretended to be one of them, but I'm different from them because I'm smarter than them, because..."

Chen Mo pointed at his face: "Under this face, there is a completely asymmetrical soul hidden. It started as a lie. Later, in order to maintain this lie, he had to tell more lies. By the time he discovered it, he had already become a man. It’s too late.”

Chen Mo put down his hand and saw the deck below the Rhode Island. People were walking around on the deck. Under the bright lights, there was a peaceful atmosphere.

The night is still deep, and the stars above my head light up. When they light up, I can't tell which one is my hometown. Looking back, I am already familiar with this strange land, and I am familiar with the people and things that happen in this strange land. .

I already have my own family, I have friends, I have something more important than life that I want to protect.

But death is still terrible, but the terrible thing is no longer death itself, but the afterlife.

Chen Mo coughed softly.

The way he coughed caught the doctor's eye.

The doctor seemed to see his own shadow in him, but he had to admit that he was luckier than himself, but it was undeniable that his luck made him so trapped.

Things often change people, whether it was Chen Mo in the past, or 013 and Snake, it is often people who have been changed by things who want to change things, such as Chen Mo now, or Theresia now.

But what is the meaning of human behavior?But what is the reason for those things that people do that they know will have no good results?

The Doctor failed to find the answer.

He just thought of Kelsey, Kazdale's long experience and the Rhode Island at his feet that was inexplicably familiar to him. He had indeed forgotten a lot of things and couldn't recall them anymore, and when he looked back, in his mind There have been more new memories.

Chen Mo had to admit that maybe the little joke the doctor made did affect his emotions, but maybe it was not the doctor's words that affected his emotions, but the wild cat that was buried deep in his heart and could no longer face it. Miss.

Chen Mo never denied it.

He likes Wei Na. No one would dislike a handsome girl who is willing to risk her life for you, and no one would dislike Miss Wildcat, who is straightforward and free-spirited but sometimes becomes hesitant.

But liking this kind of thing cannot last long.

There is a person in everyone’s heart that they miss but can’t get results.

Chen Mo didn't feel it was a pity. What was a pity was not people or things. What was a pity was that in this land, no one dared to say that everything would go as planned.

Greedy people will not end well. Chen Mo did not dare to be too greedy.

He has had enough.

Because people will wake up from their dreams in the end.

Kelsey slowly put down the receiver. She put away the messy files on the desktop. There was a photo reflected in the corner of the file she picked up. The photo showed a man with black hair, which slowly turned into a ball as the shredder worked. Confetti.

Frost Star was hesitant, and the person who made her hesitate was probably the white Sakaz who was sitting in her room now.

From the moment she appeared, Froststar had honestly explained to her the ins and outs of their arrival, and Sakaz often showed a considerable degree of interest when it came to Tallulah.

She seemed to be curious about what kind of person Tallulah was.

It’s really hard for Frost Star to understand that Theresa, the Kazdel in front of her, the monarch of all Sakaz, could actually be such a gentle and ordinary person, let alone a guard. She was on this ship Frost Xing couldn't even see anyone specifically staying by her side.

Who dares to believe that this is the emperor of Kazdaele.

At least Froststar herself couldn't believe it. She thought Tallulah was enough and already had no airs. Even a patriot has some indescribable majesty.

Shuangxing never thought that one day the greatest official he had ever seen would be the emperor of a country, and this emperor even caught him chatting for a long time.

If he went back and told others, probably no one would believe it, not even Shuangxing himself.

When Chen Mo went back, he met Theresia who was chatting with Shuangxing with the door half open. Chen Mo wanted to turn a blind eye, but Shuangxing's look for help was impossible to ignore.

Chapter 70 When the road ends

Monotonous white is the main color of the medical laboratory. Just like the woman wearing a white coat, it also looks monotonous but cold.

Chen Mo could only see through the isolation window the half-obscured figure of Kelsey sitting in front of the instrument. In this medical room where there were only two of them late at night, in the space where many precision medical instruments worked silently.

Ms. Kelsey is mostly silent. Kelsey, who devotes her attention and energy to one thing in silence, has an attractive calm temperament, which is probably the basic quality that a good doctor must have. However, in this field, Kelsey is a rare leader.

Although she never mentioned what achievements she had made, she just didn't care. The only thing she cared about was whether she could achieve her goal, but no one really knew Kelsey's goal.

The inhibitors he brought with him when he left had already been consumed halfway through the border of Leitania. The resistance produced by the body was already very obvious. The duration of the effect of the inhibitors was shortened and the side effects were aggravated every time Chen Mo used the inhibitors. I have also told Kelsey the truth.

He seems to be an experiment.

But Chen Mo and Kelsey have long been accustomed to it. Ever since the mercenary Snake joined the Tower of Babel, he has been an experiment. He used the Tower of Babel to experiment with some ridiculous ideas in his heart and was in turn experimented with those ridiculous ideas and Idea guy.

Utilization is always mutual, and only the value of utilization can become the premise and basis for cooperation.

Nothing more than goods, people or things.

Everything has a corresponding value.

But just like researchers shouldn't be too emotionally invested in their experimental subjects, there are always many people in the world who knowingly commit crimes. They may not think that they will become an exception at first, but they often don't know when they fall into it.

After parting ways with the doctor, I met Kelsey again in her laboratory, which was also one of the places with the highest security clearance on the entire Rhode Island.

From a purely female perspective, Kelsey's laboratory is not really tidy, but this is probably a common problem among outstanding researchers. Just like the underground testing sites of Foxtail and Black Steel that Chen Mo has seen, they are not neat either. Dharmakīrti was well organized.

PRTS prompts that a visitor has arrived.

When the automatic door opened, Chen Mo saw that the computer synthesis preparation program was in progress.

Thousands of sets of simulated bonding tests were carried out simultaneously. At the same time, Kelsey stood in front of the centrifuge, debugging the data above with the help of the PDA in his hand and the central artificial intelligence PRTS.

[Visitor record, log 100275, Snake, please wait a moment, Ms. Kelsey is conducting a synthesis test of a new inhibitor. 】

"PRTS?"

Chen Mo turned his head and looked at the screen to the side, which was flashing with the information flow from the Rhode Island Intelligent Center.

【it's me. 】

"Long time no see. How are you lately?"

"Every time I talk to you, I feel like you are a living person."

[You asked me the same question last time, but I am a machine and do not have the emotions that humans have. 】

"……so."

[It’s been a long time indeed, Snake. According to your last visit, it was 267 days, 17 hours, 25 minutes and 33 seconds ago. 】

"That's a long time." Chen Mo replied: "I heard that Rhodes Island will leave Kazdaele with Amiya this time. Where is the first stop of your scheduled voyage?"

[The enquirer's authority is being confirmed, and the authority has been approved... According to the flight log records in the information database, the first stop of the proposed visit itinerary will be in Colombia. 】

"That means crossing Ursus and heading towards Casimir."

[Specific routes will be adjusted as needed. 】

"understood."

[Ask, why did the snake access this message? 】

"Will you record it?"

[Logging is in progress. 】

"Just curious." Chen Mo thought for a while and looked at Kelsey who just turned around: "...curious."

The second half of the sentence seemed to answer the same confusion in Kelsey's eyes.

Kelsey had no intention of entertaining Chen Mo, even if this was her private laboratory, even Foxtail knew that when trying to trick someone, she had to take out the cheap instant coffee that had been hidden in the drawer for who knows how long and be polite.

At the very least, he had to show a warm smile that looked quite artificial at first glance.

But Kelsey had no intention of this at all.

She doesn't understand the world at all. In a sense, Kelsey is very pure.

She walked towards her desk, and Chen Mo followed her steps very wisely, watching her pull out the one she was looking for from a pile of documents with little effort.

Sometimes Chen Mo would suspect that although it seemed messy and numerous, Kelsey probably remembered where every document she needed was placed. She just didn't have time to sort them out one by one.

Perhaps the most documents on her desk are not some research data, but the navigation work and navigation plan that need to be carried out today.

Chen Mo was a little emotional.

To be honest, it's not easy for everyone.

As for the doctor, Chen Mo never thought that this guy had any abilities other than fighting. He was probably of the same character as himself. After the war, people with such a reputation would be on the verge of unemployment.

Chen Mo could only think this way. He was determined not to admit that he was the only one on the verge of unemployment.

People are probably like this, they always need a little bit of sympathy.

Kelsey leaned on the desk, put down her pda and tapped it lightly with her fingers on the edge of the desk. She lowered her eyes to look at the report in her hand.

The instrument was working quietly, and Chen Mo didn't push it. He could see Kelsey's lowered gaze. There were faint bags under her eyelids, with a little bit of unnoticeable fatigue.

"How much do you know about your condition?"

After a long time, she raised her head and her eyes fell on Chen Mo.

"Know something."

"How much is some?"

It is roughly similar to a question and answer between a doctor and a patient.

Chen Mo didn't answer. He reached out and took the test report that belonged to Kelxi. He didn't look at it. Kelxi looked at [}

"It doesn't mask the fact that something is deteriorating inside your body."

"Whether you look at it or not, the result is the same."

"My suggestion is to stay in Rhode Island for treatment for the time being. Your condition is not good enough for you to run around. If you want to live a few more years, you'd better accept my suggestion."

He looked at Chen Mo.

"As the person involved, you probably know the weight of my words better than I do."
