Longmen Memoirs

"——Then come and try."

He can no longer use his spells, nor can he use the hidden Source Stone ability in his body to drive the Source Stone array buried deep in the broken knife. However, Miss Foxtail, a weapons researcher at Black Steel International, is an undoubted genius. She has already expected it. There was a small flaw in the works she created, so in order to make up for this flaw after making Thunder, in order to better deceive people... better promote her works and repay debts, she whimsically made a matching Temporary charging device - scabbard.

Now the scattered main body of the scabbard is hidden in the Guards Armor of Chen Mo.

Only those who are not afraid of death will step onto the battlefield carrying a weapon that may run out of power or explode at any time. Chen Mo never thought that one day he would become such a person, nor did he ever think about the device he once scorned. It will become his only support now.

Dazzling lightning and flames bloom, intersect, and blend into each other in the old apartment building.

The red dragon's hot flames were enough to sweep away and burn everything on the land, including herself, leaving only lightning, chopping waves, flashing thunder and lightning surging in the sea of ​​fire.

Burn out, stripping out all the oxygen in the air.

Every time the swords intersect, large sparks will fly out like scattered meteors, illuminating the two figures that should have embraced each other on this land, tearing apart the beautiful old dream like a fairy tale.

There was nothing left in their eyes, no love, no hatred, no nostalgia, and no emotion, only each other's faces, the cold steel and boiling magic in each other's hands.

A violent explosion sounded amidst the heavy rain. Chen Mo's body flew out of the window. The room on the fourth floor was completely ignited by the raging flames, and billowing black smoke rose into the sky.

The heavy rain washed away the red and cracked armor on his body. The cooling sound of the cold raindrops was accompanied by the steam that enveloped his figure, and soon dissipated.

The smooth black armor was covered with cracks by the heavy rain.

He threw away the gun, which had lost its last magazine.

The red dragon holding a big sword stood in the heavy rain on the street not far away. His cold and arrogant eyes looked down at the embarrassed Chen Mo. The dark and sharp horns on his head flashed past in the pale lightning and thunder.

"But so."

She snorted contemptuously and walked towards Chen Mo step by step in the heavy rain. The coat on her body was destroyed in the aftermath of the battle, revealing the black military uniform that had lost the long sleeve of her right hand under the coat.

The battle was not as easy as she said, but...that's all.

"I have lost interest in you. If you have no other means, just die here." She smiled evilly: "I am looking forward to the expression on your face before destruction comes."

Chen Mo clenched the broken knife in his hands, stared at the red dragon approaching slowly, and spat out the blood in his mouth.

"You'll see."

His words were calm and not affected by the serious injuries on his body.

"Resistance will bring hope to the earth, but resistance cannot change your destiny." Red Dragon stopped. "Soon you will find that all your resistance is in vain and has no meaning. The only ending that will greet you is a miserable death."

"Maybe I am a dying person." Chen Mo smiled, he closed his right eye, and the weak electric light once again lit up the ice-cracked blade.

"I don't know who you are. It doesn't matter if you are a small tower or some other ghost. I will deal with you here. There should not be two Tallulas in this world. Everything you bring must be here. Finish."

Chen Mo's dark left eye burned with golden flickering flames in the deep rain. The broken knife was slowly placed behind his waist, and his breathing began to stabilize.

He failed to notice that the red dragon's red pupils shrank suddenly at this moment.

"What on earth are you..." She staggered back two steps and asked hoarsely: "No... no, this is impossible!"

As if trying to deny this, the red dragon rushed towards Chen [+

Chen Mo held the handle of the knife, and in the rain, the golden pupil of his left eye locked on the red dragon rushing towards him.

The raindrops falling on the ground and his hands shattered and splashed.

He stepped forward suddenly, and the distance of several meters was covered in an instant.

Nobukage Ryuu's combined swordsmanship - the swordsmanship I learned two years ago when I was recuperating in the Eastern Kingdom with Seria. Even people with poor eyesight can exert the ability to kill with one blow. Moreover, when combined with it, they can cut through anything. Metal's high-frequency sharp blade.

The blade cut through the rain curtain and drew an arc-like gap.

This way... it's all over, Chen Mo thought.

The broken knife cut into the big sword in the red dragon's hand without any stagnation. The high-frequency vibrating blade instantly released unimaginable high temperatures, and the metal at the fracture melted.

A clear cracking sound sounded at this moment.

Chen Mo seemed to hear the cry of the weapon in his hand. The weapon that had been with Chen Mo for more than ten years finally shattered into countless fragments at the moment when the sword was completely cut. The fragments flew with the broken sword in the rain, and the broken sword spun and flew past Chen Mo. His shoulders dug into the concrete pavement behind him.

The red dragon's sword slashed down, but only half of the sword's body was unable to achieve its purpose.

Chen Mo didn't stop in his astonishment. He suddenly opened his arms and hugged the red dragon in front of him, as if the girl in front of him was rushing into his arms. If it weren't for the broken sword in her hand and the scars on each other's bodies, this scene would be like this It's missable.

They embraced each other after many years of ups and downs and wind and rain.

The armor on Chen Mo gradually lit up.

The roar drowned out the torrential rain.

That night, brilliant thunder drove away the darkness above Longmen.

It seems like everything has returned to that fateful night 20 years ago.

Chapter 144 Because none of us can be good people ([-])

Hero is a short and selfish title.

People are often unwilling to face their truest selves, but they often look forward to getting the truest evaluation of themselves from others.

------

May 5, private residence in Longmen Mid-Levels District

Chen raised his head and stared at the steps in front of the mansion's front door.

Xing Xiong's words echoed in Chen's mind.

[Also, you have a weakness. Don't, don't, don't get immersed in a certain idea, don't.Don't go your own way just because of some persistence. Except for your present, nothing is worthy of you to fight. 】

Maybe Xing Xiong was right.

Chen believed in Tallulah and believed in her from beginning to end. Even after she left, even after Ursus reunited with her, Chen never changed his mind.

She often pays attention to the news about Chernobog and the Integration Movement. Chen is undoubtedly happy and even proud of everything she has achieved now, although she did not choose to stay with Tallulah and face it with her. All this, she didn't ask herself to stay.

They all have their own careers and have embarked on their own paths. Even if these paths are different, Chen can now understand it and is sincerely grateful for it.

At least Tallulah did not become a stranger to her, and at least the relationship between them still existed. Although Chen never admitted it face to face, she did think so in her heart.

It seemed that everything was moving towards the good side, Tallulah embarked on the right path she chose, she also achieved achievements that amazed the world, and he was still alive and returned to her.

Chen couldn't deny that she was a little selfish, so when facing Tallulah, she subconsciously concealed the news.

Chen took a deep breath and stepped up the long steps.

She was inside, Chen knew, that person was inside.

She didn't believe that Tallulah would take such a big risk to return to Longmen for a high-sounding reason. Chen understood clearly.

What Dragon Gate means to Tallulah.

Chen wanted to ask her face to face why she came back. Maybe there was some emotion mixed in there that even Chen couldn't explain. Maybe it was missing, or maybe it was just missing.

Because I want to see that face, because I have been thinking about it day and night for more than 20 years, and because the family love flowing in their veins has never been indifferent.

Chen could never treat Tallulah as a stranger, and he could never face her with pure emotion.

She walked up the steps step by step. In the bright and blurry lights inside the mansion's gate, scenes of past memories suddenly appeared in Chen's mind.

[We will be friends from now on, and those adults will never be able to bully us again. 】

[Don't be afraid, from today on, no matter what happens, I will help you. 】

[Hey, we won't be separated, right! 】

I will definitely help you, but what are you thinking?Why now, why here?

I will definitely help you.

Just answer me and tell me.

The red eyes reflected the scene inside the door, leaving a translucent shadow on the glass. Inside the glass was a banquet filled with singing and dancing.

Why did you choose this time?

How come that person in that photo looks exactly like you?

What are you hiding from me?

Why don't you tell me!None of you want to tell me.

After returning to Longmen two years ago, Xingxiong said to Chen: "You have changed. You were a stronger person before."

Maybe.

After experiencing everything, people will change. Chen saw clearly the lives of infected people. She understood what an infected person was, and gradually understood Tallulah's thoughts.

Not all infected people are bad people. The Origin Stone will certainly erode people's sanity, just as a difficult life and tragic experiences will gradually erase all the good things in people's hearts.

Therefore, they will become crazy, whether they are working down-to-earth, or huddled in a place where the light cannot be found, whether they are rushing to the streets to vent violence, or whether they are stealing and living in secret, they will destroy everything they can see. strangeness.

Because they have suffered enough oppression, enough waiting for death, and enough running around in the quagmire and discrimination at the bottom of society.

No one can deny the evil deeds of a dying person, but accordingly, no one will care about the interests of a dying person. The infected person will always die.

Whether they were imprisoned or exiled to a wilderness where they could not survive, whether they were beaten to death with sticks or forced to work to death.

This is the retribution they deserve.

But if possible, who would be willing to become an infected person, to become an infected person with no future, to become the most miserable group of people in this society.

The answer is no one.

The infected also yearn for a better life and the right to live a normal life. In fact, all they yearn for is a land that can accommodate them and wait for death in peace.

But - no one gave it to them.

Because of the Originium Disease, because being infected with the Originium Disease would bring huge hidden dangers, and it would easily destroy a city.

Of course people are afraid of infected people and are unwilling to accept them. People have done nothing wrong. It is human nature to avoid death and fear. The incurable Originium disease is a price that no one is willing to pay easily.

They understand and pity the infected, but this does not prevent them from casting pitiful glances at the infected when they encounter them on the street while keeping a distance.

In order to protect the safety of many civilians, the city naturally began to implement a series of unfair laws.

Because cities are made up of people, made up of countless ordinary people who have rights.

No one is bad, and no one is evil.

Unless the infected can no longer endure their lives and take to the streets to do evil, unless the infected have violated the city's laws, what awaits them is to be executed in the name of legal justice and in a common name, and then be labeled as thugs in public. and the title of evil person.

Cause and effect reincarnation, retribution is unhappy.

Chen's dissatisfaction with Longmen became less and less, and became more and more complex. She was no longer so idealistic, no longer so one-sided, she just suddenly felt disappointed with Longmen after understanding the truth.

Fate is unfair. From the moment she is infected with Originium Disease, a person's fate is no longer in her control. But for Chen and the Guard Bureau, this is not the case.

It is precisely because of this that Chen, who is lucky, has not experienced everything that an infected person has to face. She is lucky enough not to experience the cruelty and coldness of this land.

Perhaps, when necessary, a choice must be made.

Giving kindness requires paying a sufficient price. Longmen cannot bear this price, and no city on the earth dares to bear this price.

The integration movement will never become like the Guards Bureau, nor can it be like the Guards Bureau. How many infected people the integration movement must accept, how many infected people must be rescued and build new homes for them, that is what the integration movement can do, or It’s something that can only be done if you say it, but Longmen cannot do such a thing and cannot do it.

People should bear the consequences of the choices they make.

----

Chen quickly found Tallulah's location in the living room where people were floating around. In other words, it was because the location was too conspicuous and seemed out of place with a normal banquet.

From the corner of her eye, she noticed someone looking in her direction in surprise. There were many people who knew her and had met them before. The uniforms of the Guards Bureau were also incompatible with this well-dressed upper-class banquet.

She paid no attention to the glances and murmurs.

Chen walked through the long corridor and saw Fox sitting on a chair. The latter glanced at her and nodded slightly in greeting. Chen frowned slightly.

She didn't like Su Li, or to be more precise, she didn't like the layer of hypocrisy she concealed. This person was too deep-set, acted casually, and had regarded lies and masks as part of herself.

But Chen also admired her a little. At least she could face her own hypocrisy and affectation and accept it without any hesitation. Chen couldn't do that, just like she couldn't compromise and give in without reason.

Chen walked past Su Li without stopping at all.

Chen had seen the white-haired woman standing behind Tallulah before, and she seemed to be called Frost Star. Chen was not sure.

She stopped in front of Tallulah, who looked up at her.
