Longmen Memoirs

Patriot has never approved of Tallulah's actions. He regards Froststar and Tallulah's delusions as naive and unrealistic, but he cannot deny that they did it. However, Patriot just agrees that on the day Qicheng becomes independent, everyone will Everyone was laughing and cheering, but the patriot, Bodracastle, the last Wendigo, looked heavy and silent.

He is a soldier, not a politician, nor a city official. He only understands war, but the old man's experience has taught him many truths and told the infected people in front of him that most of the infected people who have not received education are not enough to govern this huge city. city ​​of.

They are like children who become kings and know how to govern a country.

But Tallulah did a pretty good job, and what she did made the Wendigo truly regard her as its leader and a hope, rather than a reluctant recognition forced by the status quo.

%_[! She retained the original government agencies and municipal systems of Checheng, which of course aroused opposition. The infected people urgently needed rights and needed a heart that could make up for their inferiority complex in the face of ordinary people and the Usa who oppressed them. The disguise raised its head in front of the Sri Lankan imperial officials.

Tallulah used her prestige and power to forcefully suppress the selfishness of the infected people. Of course, she also appointed some truly talented infected people to work in the Checheng government, but compared to the huge base, these people were too few. .

This is not the first time that Froststar has heard that infected people are secretly spreading Tallulah's greed, saying that she is another old noble in the name of infected people. Some people even say that she was sent by Ursus to try to enslave The identity of the infected person, Tallulah Corsiche's adopted daughter, was exposed and revealed by them.

Froststar demanded more than once that those infected by these rumors be severely punished, and more than once asked Tallulah why she could remain indifferent.

But she just said, let them go.

Rumors stop at the wise, but you cannot expect everyone to be wise, and man is indeed an easily shaken creature.

She knew that once she stopped them, it would only lead to more serious consequences and confirm their suspicions. She had no choice because she had too many things to deal with, and this was just the most trivial thing, even There won’t be any immediate, obvious consequences.

Froststar couldn't understand.

Why can't they open their eyes and take a good look at what Tallulah has done for them? Why can't they understand Tallulah and why she is like this?

Shuangxing finally knew that her original idea was so ridiculous. It turned out that her father was right. After the infected got everything they wanted, this group of people would undergo terrible changes.

It is undeniable that some people still believe and trust Tallulah as always, and they are not enough to make Frost Star completely disappointed in the infected people, but it is also undeniable that the actions of other people make Frost Star feel sad and confused.

She couldn't understand Tallulah more and more, and she became more and more afraid that one day Tallulah would regret her actions, and even Frost Star had been in a trance.

The integration movement that was united in the past can only be recalled by Shuangxing on Rhode Island. But the people on Rhode Island don't understand. Shuangxing is inevitably a little envious. They only need to be their warriors. In order to As they strive for their ideals, Kazdale will be their most solid backing.

But where is Tallulah's backing?

Shuangxing understands that now, whether it is the integration movement or Qicheng, there is no way out. She can only stand by Tallulah's side to protect her, but cannot help her.

Froststar hesitated.

Tallulah stopped.

Shuangxing thought of someone in his mind and shook his head slightly.

Perhaps, he has nothing left for Tallulah. He owes nothing to the Integration Movement and has no reason to pay for them anymore. Froststar cannot selfishly bring him in because he has already given answer.

Shuangxing couldn't deny that she knew very well that even if he came back, he wouldn't be able to do anything.

If only Alina were here.Froststar thought that at least she knew what Tallulah was thinking better than she did.

While she was thinking this, she suddenly felt someone tapping her shoulder gently.

Shuangxing turned around subconsciously.

The man raised his index finger in front of his lips and made a hissing gesture.

White Custer heard him say.

"I'll leave the affairs of Rhode Island to others. It's not too late for me to come back."

Froststar came to his senses.

Custer felt an inexplicable sense of relief, perhaps just like Custer had felt the same way during the winter when they came back from Cazedale together.

He can always do things that others think they can't do.

"Lead..." Shuangxing said, then suddenly stopped talking and just nodded.

"She's waiting for you."

"I know."

ps: The original ending was supposed to be that Chen Mo would fall from the dragon gate with the Tyrant Tower in his arms, and the Tyrant Tower would gradually close his eyes in Chen Mo's arms in the dawn light of the dragon gate.

But later, I thought that Chen Mo was not an idiot. How could he not change it when he already knew the outcome? The feeling of being kept in the dark certainly made me cry, but it was inappropriate.

Chen Mo should know his mistakes and be able to correct them. Now that Xiaota has told his mistakes, wouldn't he be a fool if he continues like this?

So...Chen Mo came to find Tallulah. Don’t guess at the following plot, because the reversal is very powerful, and the reality of Chen Mo and Tallulah is often even more unexpected.

1 Chapter Sixty: Me to You ([-])

There was no expression of surprise or surprise on Tallulah's face. She looked calmly at Chen Mo, who was walking towards her step by step. Some complex emotions were flowing in her beautiful eyes, and she gently put her hands behind her back. .

She changed out of the gorgeous dress. Tallulah in front of Chen Mo was only wearing a simple black and white skirt. Except for the military dress from the Ursus Empire, Chen Mo rarely saw Tallulah wearing it anymore. Changed to another look, less capable and heroic, more soft and graceful, Chen Mo thought he would be surprised, but in fact, there were not many similar emotions welling up in his heart.

Neither of them spoke, just looked at each other.

It was as if this day had been anticipated.

"To be honest, your reaction makes me a little disappointed." Chen Mo asked suddenly. Tallulah acted too calmly. It didn't seem like he was facing a self who had come back from the dead. Maybe it was because of the relationship between him and her. There is nothing left anymore.

"Perhaps I should be more surprised." Tallulah said, she managed to show surprise, tried several times, and then quickly faded away.

"Sorry..." she whispered.

"It's okay." Chen Mo shook his head: "That's okay."

"You must be thinking that I should run over excitedly and hug you." Tallulah smiled as if she had thought of something interesting.

Chen Mo looked at her with some emotion.

"Do you know?"

"No." She suppressed her smile and looked at Chen Mo: "This is the only thing left between us, isn't it?"

"The truth?"

"You shouldn't have appeared in front of me." Tallulah said this without directly answering Chen Mo's question.

"This way we still only have these things left in our room." Chen Mo said.

"You are here to solve it." Tallulah seemed to have already known the result. Her voice was very calm, but Chen Mo could still see the uneasiness flashing in her eyes, and the hands behind her back were tightly squeezed together. .

"How to solve it?" Chen Mo asked.

Tallulah suddenly fell silent. She opened her mouth slightly, wanting to say something, but in the end she could only purse her lips and say nothing. She just looked at Chen Mo, her penetrating eyes reflecting his appearance.

After several seconds, she finally spoke.

"What did she tell you?"

"A lot." Chen Mo said: "You know in your heart but haven't told me the things that I made with Alina and the Patriot. She said you knew all about the agreements made between me and Alina, the Patriot. She said I was a selfish fool. Dan, maybe I should have taken you away directly."

Tallulah listened quietly, and when Chen Mo finished speaking, she sighed softly.

"She lied to you."

"Do you know who she is?"

"I didn't know at first, but I guessed a little later. She had been to Qicheng. The news I got must have been given to me by her."

"Aren't you angry?" Chen Mo asked.

"Why are you angry?" Tallulah asked strangely: "She and I have the same face and the same memory, but I know that she is not me, and I am not her."

"I've been thinking about what she wants to do, and what I would do if it were me." Tallulah said, looking at Chen Mo and blinking: "Now it seems that she has no chance."

"I left her on Rhode Island. She will stay there temporarily in the future. The place is very good and she will get used to it." After Chen Mo finished speaking, Tallulah did not answer. He asked again: "Don't you ask why? ?"

"What's the reason?" Tallulah asked following Chen Mo's words.

"She hates Longmen and Wei Yanwu. She is just like you. She just hates and doesn't want to do anything more. She actually knows who she is and just hopes someone can stop her."

"You seem to care about her very much." Tallulah asked suddenly. Chen Mo was stunned. Tallulah's words had an inexplicable meaning.

"She said she is not a substitute." Chen Mo said: "I also feel that she should not be someone's substitute."

"Actually, I don't really care, as long as you're happy." Tallulah said softly.

"So..." Chen Mo thought for a moment and then asked, "How did you know that I was in Longmen."

"Well... this is more complicated to say." Tallulah hesitated for a few seconds, as if arranging her words: "At first, Xiao Mo's words made me guess a little. Shuang Xing also behaved a little strange after she came back. She is a People who are not good at lying, and your friend, Superintendent Su, those words she deliberately targeted me were probably not meant for me."

She looked at Chen Mo pointedly, with some pride and complacency in her eyes and face.

"The person who finally convinced me was Hui Jie. She has been like this since she was a child. I can see what she is hiding in her heart at a glance." She said, showing some disappointment: "...but she didn't tell me."

"You didn't tell her either." Chen Mo said. It was not difficult for her to guess the fact that Tallulah knew that he was still alive. After all, she had been smart since she was a child. What really made Chen Mo care was that she knew that she was still alive, but she pretended Zuo himself doesn’t know.

"Yes, I didn't tell her." Tallulah did not deny it: "If I told her, with Huijie's character, what do you think she would do? She would definitely feel embarrassed, and she would definitely feel sorry for what I did before. She is dissatisfied with her affairs, and my appearance may ruin her current life. I don’t want this to happen, and it will not be good for me, you, or Hui Jie.”

"The result now is very good to me. You are still alive, and the guilt in my heart has weakened a lot. I have brought a lot of trouble to Hui Jie and you. Now, seeing you and Hui Jie still have... I feel very happy that Xiaomo can live together peacefully."

Tallulah's words were so calm, calm and true, as if she really thought this in her heart, but this result was beyond all of their expectations. She may not have thought about it differently in her mind. ending, but as things go on, people always pass by and part ways due to certain mistakes inadvertently.

Chen Mo looked at Tallulah who said these words. The faint smile on her lips was so dazzling in Chen Mo's eyes, but he couldn't deny what Tallulah said. There was a feeling of helplessness and helplessness in his heart. Many other indescribable emotions were blocked in his chest, but left him speechless.

"Hui Jie and Xiao Mo are my future." Chen Mo looked at Tallulah, and he seemed to see her in the small orphanage when she was a child.

You didn't understand anything at that time, and I only thought that one day I would live to be 16 years old and take you out of the orphanage and enter the Dragon Gate. We never enjoyed that distant future. We thought that our future had already appeared in the future. In his own eyes.

Which rising new city is what we see each other in, but we are both wrong.

The smile on Tallulah's face became even brighter. She seemed happy to hear Chen Mo say this, but it could not be denied that she suddenly felt empty in her heart. She just tried hard not to let a trace of loneliness show on her face. She no longer had this qualifications.

"Congratulations, Chen Mo." Tallulah said, "Your wish has finally come true."

But not you, not me and you.

Chen Mo looked at Tallulah, as if telling her what he was thinking. Tallulah saw what he was thinking, but she didn't say anything more.

"I thought you would be my future." Chen Mo said suddenly. Tallulah's smile froze on her face, and she slowly calmed down.

"The shadow guard told me that Chen went to find Wei Yanwu." Chen Mo said, "You told her, right?"

"Sooner or later she will know."

"Do you think Wei Yanwu will stop her." Chen Mo exposed Tallulah's thoughts mercilessly: "Do you think Wei Yanwu will not allow Chen to get involved in the Longmen matter, and you don't want her to get involved, so you I told Chen and asked her to find Wei Yanwu and use Wei Yanwu's hand to stop her."

"Yes."

"The situation of the Integration Movement has determined that you, the entire Longmen, and Chen should have a clear relationship."

Tallulah's pupils shrank.

Chen Mo suddenly remembered that rainy night many years ago, when Tallulah once held his hand, as if she was afraid that he would have no way out, but now, what has no way out is the integration movement.

After a long time, Chen Mo finally heard Tallulah's voice.

"You sure know it."

"Because I know that Chen will not abandon you. No matter what you have done or what mistakes you have made, she will never abandon you. She will try her best to save you." Chen Mo replied in a low voice: "Even if Wei Yanwu will stop her, even if she wants to leave Longmen, she will go to you, she has already done this once."

Tallulah was silent for a moment, and Draco smiled gently as if he remembered something.

"I seem to have no way to refute you." She said helplessly. "The emperor and the parliament hope that I can disband the integration movement. In exchange, their empire is willing to divide the area where Checheng belongs to the infected, improve the policy towards the infected, and close the northwest mines of the empire. But I don't believe them, but I also There is no way to refuse, the military authorities have asked the empire more than once to take back the areas we occupied on the charge of purging the rebels, and the integration movement cannot fight them unless we fall under the emperor's banner."

But that means that if the integration movement chooses the former between Ursus and Kazdaele, Victoria, they will not receive any resources, and their survival will be completely in the hands of the empire.

"What are you going to do?"

"I will not compromise with them, nor will I hand over the integration movement to anyone. The empire can destroy us, but they cannot trample on our dignity and ideals." Her voice was firm, but suddenly it became much quieter: "But I can't live with them. They finally got to where they are today. If I kill them because of my choice, I will never be able to forgive myself."

Tallulah said, she raised her head slightly and looked at Chen Mo.

"I will continue to resist with the integration movement until the day our Ursus is destroyed. Kazdaele has promised me that they will accept and help the remaining infected people."

"You're not thinking about yourself."

"Unless the integration movement disappears, I will be with it forever." She said, stopped talking and looked at Chen Mo and said slowly: "Forget me, Chen Mo, there is nothing left between you and me."

"That's that easy." Chen Mo replied softly. He suddenly reached out and hugged Tallulah in front of him. Drake was stunned, and the expression on his face softened.

"I have done so many things for you, but now you want to leave. All the cheap things in the world have happened to you, Tallulah." Chen Mo whispered in Tallulah's ear, his silver hair Landing on the side of his face, he pressed it gently against it, and the tip of his nose was filled with Draco's breath.

That breath makes people feel strange and familiar, just like the person in front of them. Over the past ten years, they can no longer tell each other apart.

"But I can't give you anything." Tallulah closed her eyes gently, raised her wrist, and held Chen Mo's back.

Chen Mo slightly distanced himself from Tallulah. From a distance of more than ten centimeters, he could clearly see his own appearance in the red pupils, and Tallulah's eyelashes as white as frost and snow trembled slightly.

She opened her eyes, opened her lips slightly, and stood on tiptoes slightly.
