Longmen Memoirs

"Why... why did you suddenly mention this?"

"Oh, it seems there's more..." Tallulah frowned slightly: "Maybe I'm not qualified to mention these things or ask for anything now, but I still feel very unwilling."

Chen Mo made a mistake. He thought that Tallulah, as the leader of Checheng, should be very knowledgeable. At least she should know the importance of Aslan, Weena and Drac to the integration movement and the future of Rhode Island. , so Chen Mo chose to come to Tallulah first.

But why does it become like this...

Chapter 174 Cats and Dogs ([-])

The room suddenly fell into a brief silence.

Chen Mo failed to answer Tallulah's words. He seemed to acquiesce in what Tallulah said. However, in fact, he really didn't know how to answer.

Chen Mo is not an emotionally insensitive person. He is very clear about the complicated feelings he has for Drake and Vina, and Tallulah is also very clear about these.

What really makes Tallulah helpless is that maybe it's like what Chen Mo's friend said. If you can't look back, you can only look forward. What happened on this land cannot be repeated. Tallulah chose If she loses her ideal, she will naturally have to pay the price for her ideal.

Different from Chen, Tallulah is not as persistent as Chen, nor is she as tough as Chen. Hui Jie can risk everything for someone, but Tallulah cannot. She has her mission, and she is determined to do more for her ideals. No matter what.

She has sacrificed a lot, and this road has long been not only her ideal, but also carries the dreams of thousands of infected people.

"It's just like this." Tallulah suddenly said softly, her scarlet pupils staring at Chen Mo's face. "I never thought that I would see you again. I thought that without me, you wouldn't be what you are now. You would have a better life. It was me who dragged you down, but I still can't help but hope that I can bring you back." Stay with me, stay with me.”

"Maybe I'm a selfish person. I know what will happen if I keep you here, but I'm still escaping. I think I can avoid something like that happening, and I don't dare to face it." Tallulah said, she stood up, Wu Saas's military uniform made her tall and straight, with a heroic appearance, but her bright eyes fell silent, reflecting Chen Mo's face. She gently stretched out her hand and hugged Chen Mo who was sitting on the chair.

Silver hair was scattered around Chen Mo's neck. Tallulah's arms were wrapped around Chen Mo's neck. Her breath flowed into the tip of Chen Mo's nose. The long black tail behind Drake swayed slightly, and the horns on his head were still so familiar. , familiar yet somewhat strange.

"I know, I have always known, that you don't actually care about the lives of infected people. It's just because of my ideals and willfulness that you stay. It's been like this since I was a child. I trapped you with me because of that At that time, I was very scared, what would I do if you left and I was left alone?"

Tallulah's voice reached Chen Mo's ears.

"Listen to me."

"Later on, I kept telling myself that you betrayed me and the integration movement, but I knew very well in my heart that you would not do this. But if you don't, I can't accept what you left me with peace of mind. I won't even Dare Alina to discover that I know the truth about everything.”

Tallulah's words were very soft. After the establishment of Qicheng, people were immersed in joy, but how many people knew what the leader who stood on the high platform of the square and led them to create all this was thinking.

She was even escaping from the fact that she had made a mistake, because the fact was hard for her to accept and almost suffocating her, so she had no choice but to deceive herself and others.

"It's just because the infected still need me, and my career still needs me, I can't and don't dare to fall there yet." Her words were almost whispering, but Chen Mo could still hear clearly, and Draco was holding her around Feeling the warm touch from his arms, Chen Mo gradually calmed down.

"I know."

He didn't say anything more, just listened quietly, listening to what happened next, and listening to Xiaota's unrealistic ideals.

"I'm sorry, but I still can't die. I can't accompany you yet. When I die, it's the end. When I die, I let them succeed. I let those people whose names I still remember die."

Tallulah loosened her hand a little, and Drake's knee gently pressed against Chen Mo's thigh. She and Chen Mo opened some distance, and the young leader of the integration movement sat in front of Chen Mo's legs.

There was so much reluctance and guilt in her eyes.

"...So I told myself that I want to live, because I don't deserve to die like this. I also want to live for those who sacrificed because I took this road. I can't and don't deserve to die easily." Tallulah Say softly: "I will live until I fall, until I have accomplished everything they and you have entrusted to me, then I am qualified to die."

"Maybe...I have become the same person as Wei Yanwu. Of course I can blame all this on Cosiche, but I know very well that I did all this myself. Even without Cosiche, I would still be like this Yes, I despicably took advantage of your trust in me, but in the end, I blamed all the mistakes on you."

Tallulah is selfish. She indirectly pushed Chen Mo into the abyss for her own ideals. She was selfish and had already abandoned everything she had for the fate of the infected.

Between the ideal and the individual, she chose the former; between the individual and the collective, she chose the latter.

Maybe she was right, but for Chen Mo, it was wrong.Just like Wei Yanwu had given up on her for the 50 people in Longmen.

Tallulah seemed to have become a person like Wei Yanwu, but without Cosiche, and it was herself who prompted her to make the choice.

No one knows the bitterness and pain behind these choices better than she does.

"You are not Wei Yanwu, Tallulah, and I am not you before." Chen Mo slowly raised his hand and hugged Drake in front of him: "Wei Yanwu was forced to give up on you because of the choice given to him by Kosiche. , but I am different, I know your ideals, and I deliberately colluded with Bozoukas on their behalf to lead you down this path. If you make a mistake, at least half of the mistake should be borne by me."

"I took advantage of your trust in me to do this. Even if you don't kick me out of the integration movement, I will find ways to make you hate me, and I will do more things that you will find unforgivable." Chen Mo said: "You did nothing wrong, Tallulah, you are my little tower. No matter what mistakes you make, I have the responsibility to make up for and repay you. No matter what ideals you have, I have the responsibility to Make it happen for you.”

"Remember what I promised you when I was a kid?"

Chen Mo raised his head and looked at Drake's face. He hugged Drake tighter, just like when they were in the attic on the third floor of the orphanage when they were children, looking at the distant city on New Year's Eve.

He said: "I will accompany you every Christmas, every New Year's Eve, every spring, summer, autumn and winter, every birthday and sunset. We can walk on the streets of Longmen together, pass by the tram, and walk through the park. , through the crowd, we can also leave Longmen and go to Colombia, Yanguo, Victoria, and every place you want to go."

Those distant ideals at that time later became extravagant hopes, shattered in the wandering days one after another. Chen Mo left Longmen, Talulah went to Ursus, and Chen went to Victoria.

They were not able to live in the newly built city of Longmen as they had imagined when they were children. They spent the last New Year's Eve of Longmen together and then parted ways.

The heavy rain at night in Longmen brought Tallulah, and the snow and Tallulah in winter attracted Chen Huijie. After another heavy rain at night and the light snow on New Year's Eve, they took different paths.

In these years, only Chen Mo went to Colombia, Yan Country, Letania, and the countries he and Tallulah talked about whose names he had only heard of in books. He is the only one who has been walking around for many years, spending every New Year's Eve and Christmas, spring, summer, autumn and winter, sunrise and sunset, in an ordinary way.

"When you were a child, you asked me why I was so nice to you. I didn't know. I just thought that you were so young and came in from the outside. People around you were incompatible with you. You had no idea of ​​joining them. No one knew you were there. No one cares about what you think." Chen Mo said: "But the way you looked at me made me suddenly realize that I seemed to know what you were thinking. In fact, after saying so much, it was because you were so beautiful when you were a child. You're so cute, I inevitably had the idea of ​​picking you up, washing you, and taking you home, so I did."

"So it is."

"Yes."

Chen Mo stared at Tallulah's delicate face.

"I didn't expect you to be so easy to deceive. Now it seems that I got a huge advantage." Chen Mo said: "So of course I have to be optimistic about you. Think about it, the leader of Integrated Movement, Ursus has a great reputation. The leader of the infected, the hero of the snowy plains, if you just let you slip away from me, wouldn’t I suffer a big loss?”

"Do you care about this?"

"Of course I care about this, because whether you are the leader of the integration movement or the hero of the Ursus Snowfield, they are all my little tower." Chen Mo showed a very proud expression: "I have thought about your future, and I have I know very well the difference between you and me. I hope you can be ordinary, but you are destined not to be ordinary, Tallulah, if I do nothing, sooner or later I will not be able to keep up with you."

The feelings from childhood certainly existed, but if Chen Mo was an ordinary person, whether he was Chen or Tallulah at that time, he was destined to have no results.

Chen Mo could only keep moving forward.

"But you later went further than Chen and I."

"Because I didn't expect it to be like this." Chen Mo, who was holding Tallulah, said softly: "The past is in the past, and none of us can change it, but now I am still here, and your ideal has just begun. , we still have a long way to go together in the future.”

Chen Mo's ability to change the subject is still very good. At least she thinks that Tallulah will no longer mention the matter of Vina. Although it is inevitable that Vina will eventually discuss with Tallulah about Victoria's integration movement with Chernobog. Related matters, but at least Tallulah is now mentally prepared. As long as she has a good talk with Vina, maybe it will be over.

That's what he said, but Chen Mo felt that Wei Na might have some difficulties.

"Ta...ahem, did I come at the wrong time?"

Alina opened the door awkwardly and walked in. After seeing the scene in the room, she was stunned and coughed twice.

As if he just realized that Chen Mo was inside, the white-haired deer showed a gentle smile.

"Ah...Mr. Chen Mo is here too. Long time no see. You guys..."

Alina will appear in Rhode Island. After the incident in Longmen was resolved, she came to receive the infected people who voluntarily moved from Longmen to Qicheng. The base of infected people in Longmen is relatively large. Although compared to other cities, Longmen is less susceptible to infection. The policies of the infected people are relatively less harsh, but still strict. Of course, there are many infected people who choose to stay in Longmen, but Alina will come here in person because there are many infected people in Longmen who are in different industries that are urgently needed in the city. The talents and the technology and resources that Longmen promised to Qicheng were urgently needed. On the one hand, Alya was worried about leaving it to others. On the other hand, Alina was also worried about Tallulah who stayed in Longmen.

No one knows what will happen when Chen Mo and Tallulah meet again.

Tallulah had never concealed her hatred for Chen Mo, but Alina didn't know that, in fact, Tallulah already knew the truth of the matter, and the hatred she deliberately showed was to prevent Alina from noticing her. Similarly, Tallulah didn't know how to face herself when the time came.

Alina also couldn't bear to tell Tallulah the truth, but she still couldn't help but worry about whether Tallulah would take action against Chen Mo, and how Chen Mo would respond.

In fact, after learning the truth from the letter sent back from Frost Star, Alina felt that she had to come to Longmen in person, but the scene in front of her now made Alina surprised and relaxed at the same time.

------

The Patriots and Shield Guards arrived a little later, and Alina came to tell Tallulah that the Patriots had arrived at the Dragon Gate.

Tallulah seemed to have already guessed what Ursus would do, so she had already given the order to the Patriots in advance. When Rhode Island arrived at the integration movement, she chose to join forces with the Rhode Island team to investigate the underground facility in Ursus. Tallulah from the Institute of Biology has already decided to cooperate with Kazdel.

Although the two parties have not signed any explicit agreement, the integration movement will not compromise with Ursus, and Rhode Island is not worried that the integration movement will betray them.

Compared with joining forces with Kazdaele, the integration movement will definitely not get better results by turning to Ursus.

Chen Mo didn't know that Rhode Island had long been connected with the Integration Movement. Even Longmen might have already known that the Integration Movement would send people here.

Both Kelsey and Wei Yanwu are the kind of people with dark hearts. Just like Wei Na coming to Rhode Island, Kelsey didn't notify Chen Mo in advance. Even most people in Rhode Island still don't know about Victoria. The monarch was on this ship, and most people didn't know that Rhode Island was involved in the disputes caused by Victoria Kazdare and Ursus outside the Dragon Gate.

Kelsey and Rhode Island were away from the world, but they were always fully prepared. She even brought Nian and the weapon, which was enough to drag the Yan Kingdom into the water when Ursus could not be restrained.

This style of balancing between several big countries is very similar to Kelsey's style. Especially after having Kazdale as his backing, Chen Mo found that Kelsey was doing more and more outrageous things.

Anyway, although the leader of the integration movement, the monarch of Victoria, the heir of Longmen, and the prince of Dayan are all on this ship, Rhode Island still remains neutral. Whatever happens in Longmen has nothing to do with our Rhode Island. No matter what the relationship is, we in Rhode Island are an ordinary and serious international pharmaceutical company legally registered in Colombia. We legally pay sufficient taxes to the Colombian government every year.

As for why we have so many armed operators carrying weapons of mass destruction, it is quite reasonable to do business outside for self-protection.We are involved with some organizations and governments, so it is reasonable for everyone to do business.

Please rest assured that there is absolutely no harm done to us in Rhode Island.

Chen Mo really didn't know why Kelsey became like this, but he believed that the doctor should bear at least half of the blame. After being single for hundreds of years, some changes would inevitably occur in his heart.

Chapter 175 Cats and Dogs ([-]) War Theory

The cat in the alley is free but has no home, and the dog under the eaves has a home but always lowers its head. No matter how you choose this question in life, you will have regrets.

------

June 1097, 6, Crystalline Era.

Six years after he met the wildcat lady of Londinium, Chen Mo still remembers the spring, summer, autumn and winter of Londinium. He boarded the port of Londinium in the sunniest spring. As spring turned to summer, I met a wild cat living on the street. They spent the hot summer in Londinium together in a low warehouse house, the autumn when the leaves turned yellow, and the light snow falling at night after the winter solstice in late autumn.

The lazy wild cat rarely smiles, and there is always an inexplicable sadness between her eyebrows. Her life is a sour taste, and she can't taste much sweetness. She seems to have become accustomed to the wandering life, and she also does I have made plans to continue wandering from now on.

This kind of life is not bad, but she still has a strong attachment to her hometown of Victoria.

Chen Mo was never a good person from beginning to end.

He naturally remembered the reason why he was close to this stray cat, and also tried to hold Wei Na's life in his hands, because her identity became a profitable thing for Chen Mo, but Chen Mo still inevitably gave birth to a child after getting to know this stray cat. Different thoughts, maybe he knew what this feeling was, but between value and Vina, he chose the former.

There is nothing more despicable than this in the world. Taking advantage of a confused and hesitant person's trust in him and pushing her to the ending that should belong to her in order to achieve his own goal.

In fact, Wei Na always knew why Chen Mo approached her, but for her, there should be nothing worse than the situation at that time, so she chose to remain silent.

Chen Mo is actually no different from those who try to use Wei Na's identity to achieve their own goals. In fact, everything he does is like another Tracys.

He is not as talented and ambitious as Tracy. The only thing Chen Mo is luckier than Tracy is that he met Weina at the right time. Just when Weina needed him, he brought her a choice. opportunity, but did not give her the right to choose. Everyone in the Glasgow Gang also indirectly became Chen Mo's bargaining chip to blackmail Wei Na.

Although Chen Mo has never mentioned it, Wildcat is a smart person. She will not be willing to see the Glasgow Gang fall into destruction because of her existence. There is still kindness in her heart, and kindness becomes the straw that breaks her down.

No one will be kind to a stranger for no reason. Both Yemao and Chen Mo understand this truth. All goodwill and benefits in the world have a clear price tag, and Wei Na's identity gives her the best bargaining chip to pay this price.

But after one person meets another person, no matter what the purpose is, nothing will be left behind. Moreover, their respective purposes have long been tacitly understood.

After all, Chen Mo was not Tracy, so after Kazdaele was stabilized and the struggle for royal power in Victoria came to an end, he gave up the power that countless people dreamed of and chose to leave the court of Londinium. Perhaps in the eyes of many people who are greedy for profit, he He is an out-and-out fool. In the eyes of the Kazdaele lords and the parliament, he missed Kazdaele's huge interests.

While they relax for this, they will inevitably use all kinds of abuse and slander to cover up their jealousy and greed.

But Theresia didn't say anything. As a foreigner, he had done enough for Kazdaele.

At that time, Chen Mo had become the biggest obstacle to Wei Na's throne.

This was the only thing he could do to repay and make up for Vina later on.

Goodbye with Vina was more uneventful than expected.

The golden Aslan sat on a chair in the room. Outside the glass behind her was the bright sunshine and the endless wasteland. The sun fell on her dazzling golden sandy hair, and the golden hair seemed to reflect brilliant light. .

She looked out the window. The scabbard of a broken steel sword was leaning against the wall. There was a lazy mixed-haired dog lying next to the chair. The mixed-haired dog heard the sound and raised its head to look at the door, then lowered its head slumped.

Perhaps this heartless dog has long forgotten his former master, and it will inevitably become a little more conceited with a new master.

Chen Mo was not disappointed, he was just a little surprised that Wei Na would come to Rhode Island with her wealth.

The black leather jacket was thrown on the bed, and her blond hair fell down her back, revealing her white arms. Weena stood up from the chair. Her thin white short sleeves could not hide her tall and straight figure. Under the hot pants and short boots, Her legs are slender and round.

So Chen Mo's eyes couldn't help but start to look from bottom to top, staying on her chest for a short moment before landing on her face.

Wei Na's face was very calm, and her golden eyes looked at Chen Mo quietly.

The two people and the dog in the room just looked at each other quietly. The sunlight falling into the room through the window couldn't help but remind people of the small warehouse house back then.

It's just that at this time, Weina no longer looked like a homeless wild cat, humming an intermittent tune she heard from nowhere, and walked slowly back home.

The makeshift home was too small to accommodate two people with different thoughts. Chen Mo couldn't give Miss Wildcat the freedom she wanted, and couldn't take her to all corners of the world.

"Morgan didn't come with you?"

After a brief silence, Chen Mo broke the silence with a voice. His eyes dropped and fell on Wangcai on the ground.

"She stayed in Londinium. The quarrel between those people was a headache and there was no way to deal with it, but Morgan... seemed to like to deal with it, so I left it to her."

"Isn't it because you find it troublesome?"

"It's quite troublesome."
