Longmen Memoirs

"What exactly do you want to do?" Ceria asked: "Since you are not prepared to take responsibility, why do you want to set up such an organization? Are you afraid that I will take your things and run away."

"You will not."

"So sure?"

Chen Mo shook his head and explained: "Even if I can borrow Kazdel's power, after all, their power does not belong to me, it does not belong to us, and what I need is a power that belongs to me. Otherwise, Ms. Seria, can you Don’t worry, after taking that child out of Rhine Life, he will still be controlled by others.”

"Is this the first guarantee you've given me?" Ceria asked.

"I think this is the sincerity between our cooperation. I leave it to you. In the end, whether you have enough confidence to go to the negotiating table with Rheinland Life and achieve your goals depends on how far you can go. ." Chen Mo said bluntly: "For my own sake, I bind you and me together in this way."

"I don't know much about business disputes. It may take too much time to relearn, but I have too many things to prepare and I don't have time to waste on it." Chen Mo said: "You are different, Ms. Seria, I think whether it's for the child or your ideas, you have enough patience and ability to [&

"It seems that the situation in Kazdaele is not as optimistic as you said." Seria asked suddenly.

"The situation of the Sakaz people is never optimistic. One more of you and one less of you will not change the situation much. To be honest, I also have my own purpose in choosing them. It is a matter between me and them. Some kind of cooperation with others, so I always have to leave a way out for myself." Chen Mo did not hide it: "Trust is a very heavy word for me. I think interests are sometimes more reliable than trust, especially for people like you and me. People who don’t know each other well.”

"I suddenly don't know whether it is good or bad to choose to cooperate with you." Ceria stared at Chen Mo's face: "After all, judging from the current situation, even you yourself can't figure out what you want to do."

"It doesn't matter what I want to do." Chen Mo shook his head and said seriously: "What matters is what I can do to help you. All I want is a way out, a way to ensure that I lose Kazdel's support. You can still have certain conditions in the end, rather than retreating with nothing.”

"I haven't made any plans to become successful and return home. Ms. Seria, I have to consider failure because I understand that if I have nothing, I can only place my expectations on others."

"Just like me now." Ceria asked softly, with a hint of sarcasm in her tone. "One thing I agree with is that it is stupid to place your expectations on others."

She looked at Chen Mo.

"You understand this, so you gave me your... retreat, and I need your help to achieve my goal." She paused on the word retreat: "It seems like , we are stupid.”

"In other words, doesn't it mean that we have not placed our expectations on each other?" Chen Mo retorted: "You have the escape route I mentioned in your hands, and my retreat is also what you want. There is nothing better than this This is the most stable means of cooperation with consistent interests. The better you do it, the greater the possibility of achieving your goal, and what I want will be more stable."

"It's a win-win."

"Explicit win-win." Ceria smiled: "I take back what I said before, Mr. Chen, you are very talented in becoming a leader. At least for now, I have to consider your statement carefully. I Will bring you what you want, like you said, even if it’s just for myself.”

"I feel relieved when you say that. Then, we are companions now."

Chen Mo stretched out his hand: "Unfortunately, I can't hold a welcome ceremony for you, Seria, as you can see, all the employees of this organization are here."

Hold hands.

Ceria took back her hand and looked at Chen Mo.

"I just hope I didn't pick the wrong person."

The conditions proposed by Chen Mo were not generous. With Celia's qualifications, she could undoubtedly find a better and more practical place to go. But as Chen Mo said, that also meant that she would be in a position of being controlled by others. Within the established framework, Internally, it is very difficult for her to gain the right to speak and make decisions, especially when she has to face an organization as big as Rheinland Life.

But if she chooses Chen Mo, even though she won't be able to get actual rights and assistance immediately, it will make people feel more at ease and reliable. She can decide what she should do with her own hands.

Besides, Ceria didn't think there was anything wrong with starting from scratch. At least she knew there were some secrets hidden in Chen Mo from the time she saw the changes in Chen Mo underground in the research room.

Seria cannot guarantee whether it is related to Rhine Life.

In fact, sometimes, for people, only a visible hope is enough, even if this hope conceals many intertwined truths and falsehoods.

Ceria recalled what Chen Mo said in the sewer passage.

[I can’t tell you how much is true or false, but you can tell it yourself. 】

She doesn't like to deal with people like Chen Mo because she can feel his unhidden ambition, but Ceria has to admit that she can accept it better than covering it up with unrealistic ideals. Chen Mo's statement is similar to an exchange of interests.

Seria's figure gradually disappeared from sight. Chen Mo looked at the cup of coffee that was almost cold left on the other side of the table, and then turned to look at the book titled "How to Quickly Master Negotiation Skills" placed on the seat next to him. books, the things in them are useless at all.

The phone vibrated.

Chen Mo took out his cell phone, and a call from Sfeldt seemed to come at random.

【Brother Si? 】

[I thought about it and felt something was wrong. Are you hiding something from me? 】 Sfeldt's suspicious words rang from the phone: "Why do I feel like I'm being tricked? Who is that woman?" 】

【What woman? 】

[What kind of woman could it be, other than the woman who suddenly contacted me looking for you? 】

In the dormitory, Sfeldt held the phone to his side and kept typing on the keyboard with his fingers. On the screen, he was leading his younger brother to kill everyone on the intranet. [Don’t change the subject. Has she found you? 】

【Just left. 】

[Did you do something...] He didn't finish his sentence, but Chen Mo had already guessed what he meant.

[You know me, brother Si, I wouldn’t do that kind of thing. ] Chen Mo sighed deliberately: [She is the director of the Rhine Life Safety Department, Seria. 】

【Rheinlife?How did you get involved with Rhine Life? ] Sfeldt asked doubtfully, as if he remembered something, his fingers on the keyboard stopped: [So, that thing is true? 】

[Which thing? 】

[The attack that occurred a week ago on Rhine Life. 】Sfeldt replied. [Please tell me whether your BPRS is involved in this. You know that BPRS has its own intelligence sources and is not responsible for our intelligence department. 】

[The past functions of BPRS may have to be rewritten, Brother Si. ] Chen Mo paused and replied. 【you understand me. 】

【I see. 】Sfeldt looked at the information flowing on the screen, pushed away the computer chair, stood up, and walked to the small refrigerator to take out a can of drink. [The public relations department of the Personnel Department is very busy right now. The members of Parliament who originally supported Heigang have collectively remained silent. The upper management has been saying something is wrong during this period. I should have thought of what kind of difficulties Heigang has encountered. Heigang’s hands are reaching out more and more. It's been getting longer, but there are some things that a security company shouldn't touch. 】

[It’s not that you don’t do it because you know it in your heart. The people at the top are not stupid, brother Si, they just see more. ] Chen Mo replied. [This matter will not damage an organization of the size of Heigang. 】

【But for you, it is a ** trouble. ] Sfeldt said: [You still dare to get involved with people from Rheinland Life at this time. What do you want me to say about you? Do you really think that Black Steel is a charity organization and everyone in it is so merciful? Grandpa with a beard. 】

[Are they? 】

[Yes, they are all, the kind that rides an elk up the chimney to give you gifts during the holidays. They are so kind. ] Sfeldt replied feebly, and then asked: [I probably know why she found me. Did she leave Rhine Life before what you just said? 】

[A week ago. 】

[It was a week ago again, okay, it was related to you. 】

[It doesn’t matter much, she did it for personal reasons. 】

[If you want to be able to believe what you say, you might as well just tell me Foxtail doesn’t like money to be more realistic. 】

[She really doesn’t like money, but the things she likes cannot be separated from money. 】

【…】

[Anyway, I have to trouble you, Brother Si. 】

[It’s not just a problem. 】Sfeldt did not complain at all politely. [What does BPRS say? 】

【What do you think? 】

[Look at it, they will probably send you away from Colombia. Since BPRS is going to be reorganized, according to Black Steel's urine, the main relevant personnel involved in this matter will be sent far away. ] Sfeldt said: [In short, Black Steel can no longer let you stay in Colombia in this limelight. According to ancient parlance, this is called a fucking exile. 】

【fair enough. 】

[What a fart, you must be extremely happy now. 】

A smile appeared on Chen Mo's lips.

【I am so sad. 】

[Where do you want to be sent? 】

[… Rem Billiton. 】

Rem Billiton, Sfeldt put down the beer in his hand. He looked at the hung up phone in his hand and breathed out gently. Black Steel messages flowed on the screen. Sfeldt reached out and closed the intranet. page.

Another page is opened.

Rhine Life, Ceria's words began to appear in the conversation box.

Chapter 28 Tallulah and Alina

People don't care about the truth, they only care about whether the results they believe meet their psychological expectations and whether they can achieve their self-satisfaction.

--------

Because of the confidentiality agreement signed by BPRS, even Sfeldt knew very little about BPRS's response. He knew that Chen Mo would not be able to tell him. Sometimes knowing less is a good thing. Besides, in Black Steel, He and Chen Mo both have their own jobs and careers.

Although they occasionally get together to brag and fight, Sfeldt knows very well that they will never be able to maintain this plain and ordinary life like an ordinary company, fishing at work and having dinner after work.

As a security company, Black Steel's operator sacrifice rate is not the highest in the industry, but due to the huge base, it is actually not low, including those who are injured or even infected due to various reasons every year.

Generous welfare benefits and good logistical support have always corresponded to high risk rates and high returns. He and Chen Mo both knew that Black Steel was not a charity, a charity, or a shelter, especially one of this type, BPRS. Secret Enforcement Branch.

In the entire Colombian Federation, a country under the control of the Federal Congress, Colombia is not much better than those countries with a monarchy. It is just that after the War of Independence broke away from the colonial rule of Victoria, the monarch changed from a certain person to another system. It is a system controlled by capital. Capital has always been greedy and its desire gap is hard to fill.

Depravity, corruption, greed, ignorance, these things slowly grow and grow over time. When the older generation dies for a great ideal, those who inherit their property do not have to fight for their lives. They continue to struggle and fight tooth and nail. Their current life is enough to make them rich. The blessings of their ancestors support their squandering and material desires. So when wealth and rights accumulate to a certain level and life seems stable, in order to keep this kind of rights and Wealth, they will ask for more, so that they become another group of people that the ancestors once hated and resisted.

In fact, no ideals and beliefs can always support the long-term prosperity of a certain system, because people will die and people's hearts are unpredictable.

That's why there is such a thing as changing dynasties, and that's why history repeats itself over and over again without getting tired of it.

But in this era, mobile cities have become the biggest foundation for maintaining the operation of this system. The existence of natural disasters has made oppression and deprivation a common attitude for people.

Because the development and growth of gathering places and society will inevitably form a large cluster, but it will be exposed to natural disasters at all times. The mobile city was born from this. There is no mobile city, no large stronghold to feed countless people and unite people's hearts. The resistance was completely reduced to a joke. In the eyes of people, they were just a group of completely wandering rabble.

The more he understood this and the deeper he looked, the more Chen Mo realized how unrealistic the idea he had in mind when he first came into contact with this world was.

But now he has no idea of ​​doing this, at least not yet. He doesn't have to think so far, because now he is also a member of the monarchy who has benefited. He has integrated into this era, and his current ideas are all based on Based on the title of Lord Sakaz.

He still didn't understand the changes in the Sakaz Snowfield. In that poor and remote village, there was a person who was traveling up and down the snowfield to contact the exiled infected people.

Shmir village, autumn.

When moss wheat matures, this cold-resistant crop matures before winter comes. It ripens once a year and is also a rare source of food on the snowfield. The seeds sown after the snow melts in spring must be harvested before winter comes.

Looking from the attic window, the harvested farmland was filled with piles of wheat piles, and further away was the edge of the birch forest. She stood in front of the window, leaning down, and there was a page of letter paper on the windowsill.

【Liar:

I thought about it for a long time and decided to write this letter to you. Ah, I don’t think you can see it. After all, you have been away for many years.

You said you would come back, but I can no longer stay in Longmen and wait for you. After you left, a lot of things happened. An old guy found me. He told me some secrets about the past that someone had been hiding. Keeping secrets that I don’t want me to know.

I knew he was bewitching me, and I couldn’t help but accept his bewitchment, and I couldn’t stay in Longmen any longer. I hated that city, everything about it, and my own experiences, especially when I knew those After the secret, I can no longer support myself to stay anywhere.

That way I will definitely go crazy and I can't help but want to kill him all the time. His appearance makes me sick. I don't want to be like that, and I don't want to continue to endure the torture in my heart.

You will definitely feel disappointed when you see this, you liar, if you really come back.

I have been thinking that if you were still here at that time, you must have a way to convince me to stay. You can always find many ways to say it, and I don’t know where you learned it.

If so, I think I can continue to endure it until we grow up, until you take me away from Longmen, we leave together, take Hui Jie with us, and leave nothing to that guy.

Just thinking about it, I feel that this kind of life makes me yearn for something terrible.

You shouldn't have left, you liar. You ruined the future we agreed on. It was you who didn't want it to turn into this. It was you who made me feel guilty for Hui Jie.

...but it's too late to say anything now.

I miss you a little bit, liar, the stories you told me, and the days in the orphanage.Thinking about it now, that should be the happiest time in my life.

I am now an infected person. You will be surprised to know this news. Yes, because you did not keep your promise, so now I am an infected person, unless you are also an infected person.

But I don’t want you to be an infected person, you are a liar. I know very well what the lives and experiences of infected people are like, and I don’t want you to become one of us.

Forget me, you liar, just treat it as a dream from many years ago. Maybe I shouldn’t be the one to mention it. Maybe, in fact, you have forgotten me. 】

There was a shout from downstairs. It was the shout of an old woman. Who knew she could have such a powerful voice at such an old age? Tallulah hurriedly folded the letter, replied, and put the letter under the pillow.

She walked down the stairs, and in the middle of the stairs, she saw girl Elafia standing at the door, talking to the old woman.

He was holding a basket in his hand.

"Alina?"

"Tallulah, I brought some home-made blintzes. I told my mother not to call you. I brought the things and went back." Alina looked at Talu standing on the stairs in embarrassment. Lula.

"Oh, who doesn't know that Alina, you came here just to find this girl, you two children." She said and grabbed Tallulah's hand that was reaching for the basket: "You don't know how to learn from others. The girl is down-to-earth and likes to read, unlike you who wanders around without knowing what to bring back. She has the same virtues as that good-for-nothing old man, a prodigal bitch! She can't even sew her own clothes now. "

"Okay, grandma, stop reciting it. You have already recited it several times. I will learn from Alina today." Tallulah said, holding a bite-sized pancake in her hand and took it from Alina. The basket inside was thrust into the old man's hand.

"Go now." She took Alina's hand and hurriedly headed toward the door [&+

Chapter 29 Wildfire

The word ideal sometimes seems precious, and sometimes it is not worth mentioning, because moving towards a certain goal will not make people confused, but when the goal is too far away, youth becomes the biggest mistake.

She is very young.

She thought that she had experienced many sufferings in the world, and she felt that she could change anything by herself. Maybe it was just the seeds of resistance in her heart, or maybe it was just another trap of the old man, deliberately luring the young and energetic. She came to refute her own opinion and embark on this path.

She will be fooled.
