Longmen Memoirs

"Is this the reason why you are moving?"

The hand on his thigh restlessly held Chen's hand and pressed it on his thigh. In summer, the women's uniforms of the Guard Bureau usually consist of shorts. Chen Mo would inevitably be unable to control his hand.

"Try moving again." Chen teased sarcastically, squeezing Chen Mo's hand.

"I said it moved by itself, do you believe it?"

"What do you think?" Chen raised his eyebrows, his tone unkind.

Chen Mo's hand calmed down, but it was still placed on Chen's thigh, and Superintendent Chen made no unnecessary movements.

"Let me tell you, what are you thinking about in your head?" Chen said with unspeakable helplessness.

Maybe she felt that she was a little unlucky to meet someone like Chen Mo, and even suffered a big loss.

"Sometimes I may not even know it myself." Chen Mo replied seriously.

"...Tallulah, what are you going to do?"

Chen Mo didn't answer. He looked at the road ahead seriously, as if he didn't hear what Chen said.

Chen Mo knew that Chen would mention this sooner or later. Although they could all pretend not to know, what had happened could not be avoided by deceiving oneself and others.

Chen Hui brought it up, but Chen Mo didn't know how to answer.

"Speak, don't try to pretend to be dumb." Chen asked.

"I...what do you want to do?"

"I'm asking you!" Chen was a little angry.

"..."

It is impossible for Chen Mo to let go of Tallulah. Of course Chen knows that Chen Mo will not let go of Tallulah. To be honest, Chen Mo's mood now is extremely complicated.

Chen Mo was evading this problem. Chen Neng could tell that she was evading, but Chen Mo's evasion made Chen feel better. At least it proved that he would care and feel guilty.

But Chen didn't know whether he should forgive her, or whether he should just accept it.

Maybe so many things hadn't happened in the past, and he wouldn't have become as entangled as now, but after all, Chen was not the kind of person who would pretend nothing happened.

Chen feels guilty and has family affection for Tallulah, but that doesn't mean she can accept such an ending. People are naturally selfish, especially when it comes to selfish things like feelings.

Occasionally when she calmed down and looked at Xiao Mo, Chen would feel incredible and stunned. She never thought that this day would come, and she never thought that impulsiveness and complicated emotions would lead to the current situation in Victoria.

But Chen never regretted it, she just felt lucky, and now she has a headache.

Chen Mo should be lucky. At least Chen doesn't know Wei Na yet, and at least he is smart enough to tell Ah [~

Chen Mo felt a little guilty, but more of it was an emotion he couldn't explain. He had never considered these before, because at that time, he seemed to have predicted his own ending.

A dead person, no matter how much he leaves behind, will not cause any waves.

But now it seems that he is reaping the consequences.

"Let nature take its course...right?" Chen Mo thought for a long time and glanced at Chen quietly. Chen's expression showed nothing, and he said uncertainly.

"Are you sure you won't go to the bed?" Chen asked with a funny look at Chen Mo who looked guilty.

"Then... you can't blame me entirely, right?"

"What you have in mind is quite beautiful." Chen said fiercely, "You are a soft-hearted person!"

Therefore, Chen Mo has always been curious about how those people in Yan Kingdom were able to marry multiple wives. Just seeing Chen Mo's unwillingness to give up made Chen Mo feel guilty and afraid.

Of course Chen Mo is not afraid of Chen. She has never been afraid of Chen, even though she was beaten so many times by Chen. But look, if Chen Mo was afraid of Chen, how could he be beaten so many times.

He is a typical person who knows what is wrong and should not do it, while Chen is a typical person who is hard-spoken and soft-hearted.

Chen Mo didn't really want to think of Wei Yanwu, but the way Chen looked now made Chen Mo think of him. Xiao Mo said that his uncle was more afraid of Wen Yue.

But Wei Yanwu is Wei Yanwu, and Chen is someone Chen, and Chen doesn't seem as smart as Wen Yue.

Chen Mo had to be thankful that he was so famous for taking precautions.

"...It's really worthless." Chen said angrily.

If you have no future, you have no future.Chen Mo thought.I'm afraid I won't be pushed to the ground and beaten by you again if I say this.

It's not that I can't beat you, it's that I can't bear to beat you, otherwise I would have to kneel down and talk to you now.

Chen said nothing more.

She could have thought of it a long time ago. Her relationship with Tallulah has still maintained after more than ten years of separation, but there is Chen Mo in the middle. In Chen's eyes, Tallulah is more important than Chen Mo. When she was a child, she was more important than Chen Mo. Now, Chen Mo still ranks below Xiao Mo.

Chen can't deny her selfishness, but she can't deny the feelings between Chen Mo and Tallulah. Without Chen, Tallulah would be standing next to Chen Mo now, but Superintendent Chen will not escape from this, nor will he Alienated Tallulah because of Chen Mo's existence.

After all, Chen Mo is not that important. Of course, this is only to Tallulah. For others, Ms. Chen will not hesitate to tell you how sharp her Chi Xiao is.

"Wei Yanwu told me before that Tallulah made a mistake. If I wanted to save her, I had to wait until I grew up quickly." Chen said, "But when I grew up, I realized that Tallulah was getting closer and closer to me. The farther away I am, the more I wait for you to appear again, I will be able to do nothing in Longmen. I am just waiting, but I don’t even know what I am waiting for. You are the one who rescued her, you have been doing this all the time."

Chen squeezed Chen Mo's hand tightly and intertwined their fingers.

"I'm afraid that one day you will leave me suddenly like Tallulah, so in Victoria...after you appear in front of me again, I vowed not to let you escape again."

"I won't leave again."

"I can't trust you, but Tallulah, she can watch you."

Chen Mo couldn't answer.

Chen's words are true, and Chen herself knows very well that compared to Tallulah, she can't watch Chen Mo. But think about it from another perspective, if Tallulah were Chen, would Chen Mo have done this?

Probably not. After all, for Chen Mo, the person who left him the most memories was Tallulah, not her, but the person who stayed with Chen Mo later became Chen.

Chen no longer thinks about those what-ifs, it is meaningless, because the three of them have been intertwined together by accident since they were in the orphanage.

Chen's words seemed to be acquiescence.Chen Mo glanced at Chi Xiao who was beside Chen, and he felt relieved.

He had known that Chen would acquiesce. After all, Chen Mo would go to Qicheng. What could he do if he didn't acquiesce? But Chen still needed some time, so she chose to go to Rhode Island first.

But Chen Mo's answer made Chen Mo feel a lot of guilt and debt, but this guilt and debt obviously couldn't last long, and then he was filled with a strong fear that came from nowhere.

Chen Mo will probably never forget that afternoon on the Rhode Island.

In Chen Mo's horrified eyes, Nian started to fight, and his eyes encouraged him to start fighting.

Chen, who was holding the Red Sky, and Vina, who was holding the Cross Sword, were facing each other on the deck. When the Draco and Tallulah appeared, the battle became an uncontrollable situation.

It has to be said that it is a rare miracle that the Rhode Island did not turn into a piece of scrap metal.

Chapter 168 Wei Na got her A and went out

Arriving in Rhode Island was a little later than expected.

After the problem with Gantry was resolved, Rhode Island stayed outside Gantry's signal radiation area. They would not re-enter Gantry. After the business cooperation agreement framework between Gantry and Rhode Island was drawn up, Rhode Island would follow the layout schedule. Set off to the next location with a planned plan.

Rhodes Island was given to Amiya by Theresia to bridge the gap between the infected and ordinary people on this land. The missions and expectations it carried took time to be confirmed.

Chen Mo seemed to finally think of the day when the ship was resurfaced from the ruins and dust beneath the ground. His Highness's expectations for the ship. Perhaps in her heart, Rhode Island also represented another possibility, a precious treasure. Fire, but Chen Mo's appearance disrupted His Highness's original plan.

It is well known that Originium Disease is an incurable disease. The deeper the infection, the closer to death. However, as we all know, there have been many diseases in history that were considered incurable.

After Terra's Originium Industrial Revolution and the vigorous development of Originium technology, Originium Disease also entered people's horizons and lives along with the process of industry. It is not just the infected who have fallen victim to the industrial era, but there are too many infected people. It is too obvious, and the upper class of society urgently needs a substitute to alleviate the social contradictions and oppression brewed and suppressed by the bloody accumulation of capital, so the various deeds and harms of the infected are exaggerated and pushed out, and are eventually regarded as a scourge.

The infected are far from as scary as they depict, but what is really scary is the human heart. The human heart is the most difficult chasm to cross, because it is difficult for people to have unreserved trust in each other on this cold land. .

What is really sick is this land, the few power holders who occupy and monopolize the vast majority of social resources, and the numbness, ignorance and ignorance of the people.

People are often like this. They watch the misery of others with cold eyes and rarely think of themselves. People are also like this. Many people don’t have time and leisure to worry about things that have nothing to do with them, because just living is already very difficult. , and their education level, knowledge, and ability do not allow them to pay too much attention to the too distant future.

Most people with this ability yearn for a better life. No fool is willing to abandon his own great future to interfere with the future of a group of dying people, and no fool is willing to gamble for the slim future of a group of infected people. Everything about myself.

Taking this path means that you will have endless enemies. You have no chance. They will overwhelm you, slander you, drown you, spurn you, and deceive you.

As long as you dare to stand up, they will dare to drag you into the filthiest place and use the filthiest methods to deal with you. As long as you make a mistake, you will be knocked down because you chose to come forward and choose to fight with you. They fight and choose to invest your life in accomplishing something that is simply impossible.

You are destined to fail and be destroyed. Even if you only make one wrong step, they will desperately seize this opportunity and legitimately hurt you.

They will pounce on you like evil beasts that smell blood, tear your flesh, pluck out your tongue and eyes, and howl that this is an insult to your dignity.

They stare at your weaknesses all the time, waiting for you to show your fatigue, and then give you a fatal blow, tear off your skin, expose everything about you to ridicule and spurn, and slander you as a waste and a childish bastard with excessive desires. .

But you can't fall, there is no turning back, they are just waiting for you to show cowardice.

If you can face this.

You also have to face betrayal from within the infected, face the endless conflicts within the infected, and face this group of people who have finally gathered together but have become strangers and have different thoughts.

Most of them have not received much knowledge, and most of them have unspeakable hatred for ordinary people. Your strong pressure will cause their negative emotions to explode. In addition, you must be careful of instigation and temptation from the outside.

These are not easy things to do.

Success will become farther and farther away from you.

If you are lucky enough, you will not find yourself becoming a different person along the way, and you still firmly believe in your original ideals, and you still firmly believe that what you are doing is right.

Then, whether you are heading for failure or destruction, the word greatness will be born because of this, and a different era is also brewing.

Not all successful careers can be called great. Compared with small successes, those who sneak in the darkness and explore for that unreachable light are more worthy of admiration.

Because at the beginning, they only walked towards the visible death place for their ideals and the rightness of their hearts, and they never wavered even until the day they fell.

Tallulah unknowingly became such a person and embarked on this path.

Everything Kosiche taught her was the conspiracy of the black snake, and the conspiracy was a piercing expression. She used her words to subtly influence Tallulah's choices.

Perhaps one day the dark serpent would bare his fangs and drag Tallulah into his trap, like another drak.

If Tallulah had never agreed with Kosich's words or had those thoughts, how could Drak on Rhodes Island have been born.

And Tallulah knows these better than anyone else.

She could destroy the drake, but she could never deny her past self.

June 1097, 6, Crystalline Era.

The migration of infected people in Longmen is proceeding in an orderly manner under the guidance of members of the integration movement from Qicheng. These infected people who are no longer willing to stay in Longmen will be moved to Chernobog in batches.

The technology and resources promised by Longmen will also be transported to the integration movement in batches later, but the integration movement in Qicheng still needs time to arrange and respond internally, and then commissioners will be sent to Longmen.

Tallulah will stop at Longmen for a while and wait for Qicheng to prepare a response before returning to Chernobog. In the plan, Chen Mo will return to Qicheng with Tallulah, but Rhode Island cannot. The matter has been taken care of, and in order to avoid staying and arousing suspicion, Rhode Island will set sail first.

This means that Chen Hui will leave Longmen earlier than Chen Mo.

"Aren't you going to pick up Xiao Mo?" Chen Mo asked.

The outline of the Rhode Island parked in the wilderness can be seen outside the car window, and a huge shadow envelopes the wasteland on the Gobi.

"Tallulah will bring her here before she leaves."

"Are you so relieved?"

"Ha, it's better than leaving it to you." Chen Mo glanced sideways.

Chen Mo knew what Chen meant.

"Isn't it because Xiao Mo likes Xiao Ta more? Look at Xiao Mo and Tallulah standing together, they look more like..."

"Well, what did you say?" Chen didn't seem to hear clearly and turned to look at Chen Mo.

Chen Mo didn't squint.

"I said...Rhodes Island has arrived."

Ahead, the ground crew waved the tow lights in their hands, and the lift deck under the Rhode Island slowly lowered. The car drove onto the deck with slight bumps and stopped.

"You really don't want to come with us?" Chen Mo let go of the steering wheel, closed the car door and asked Chen who had just got out of the car.

"Asking knowingly." Chen closed the car door.

"Hypocritical," she muttered.

USS Rhode Island/2:23p.m

The name of Vina's long sword is "Steel Cutting". The name comes from the epic of the previous kings passed down through the generations of Victoria. In the epic, the user of this sword once unified the whole of Victoria. However, it has not been possible to verify whether that period of history really existed. Or it may be a fabrication, but in Victoria, this sword was indeed given great significance.

It is worth mentioning that in the epic, the great king who used this handle was Drac, not Aslan who later originated from Letania and Sargon and later moved to the land of Victoria. .

Victoria was not a friendly and closed independent kingdom in history. Drac was once the only ruler of that land. Aslan, who subsequently migrated from other countries, fought many wars with Drac in order to integrate into this land. .

This bloody battle for the throne eventually led to Aslan and Drak reaching an agreement to share the throne, and today Victoria's political system still maintains this ancient agreement.
