Longmen Memoirs

"But Goudan, have you forgotten that this body belongs to me after I kill you?" Chen Mo said, "I never said I would give this body to you."

[If you really have this ability. ] Goudan answered calmly, folding his hands calmly in front of him: [If you can kill me, it doesn't matter if I give you all this, but how are you going to kill me, watchdog, with a dying man? The devil? 】

"So before we kill each other and replace each other, we might as well make use of each other, right?" Chen Mo said: "Let's get straight to the point and say that the conditions you proposed are fair. I don't know you well. If you want to occupy this body, then let We became each other’s stepping stone for a while.”

Golden sparks gradually lit up in his eyes, echoing and overlapping with the golden pupils in the rearview mirror.

"How do you feel?"

[That’s what I mean, watchdog. 】

Chapter 1 Falling the first chess piece

Chen Mo made a deal with Goudan.

This transaction will lead to unknown consequences, but this transaction will also bring forward many things that should happen in the future.

Chen Mo thought it was a good deal. He had many doubts, which Kelsey couldn't answer for him. Goudan made up for part of the shortcomings.

He didn't want to wait any longer. He had already waited for too long, and waiting was very tiring.

Maybe it's because winter hasn't ended yet. The snow is not much different from when we left. It's just that the people under the snow are no longer the children they were back then.

Chen Mo returned to Longmen again, stepping into this city again after nearly ten years.

Somewhat sighing, this was once his hometown.

People say that it is hard to leave one's homeland, especially for people from Longmen, but for Chen Mo, this city is far less cordial.

It didn't bring very good memories to Chen Mo. It was so big that it caught people off guard, but for the people living here, they had never paid attention to the size of Longmen.

I just feel that the roads in the city are getting wider and wider, the tall buildings are getting taller and there are more and more people.

Chen Mo couldn't quite remember what Longmen looked like ten years ago, but today's Longmen once again allowed him to see what it was like to be unfamiliar.Just like many years ago, when a new city was built in the city before the riots, he felt the same way when he first came to the new city.

It feels strange and broad, making people unable to find where to go.

But for Chen Mo at that time, there were still people around him who were willing to hold his hand with a look of disgust when he couldn't find the way to prevent him from getting lost in the city.

But now that he has grown up, he no longer needs others to hold his hand or accompany him, because he has been able to find his way out of this huge city on his own.

I have been able to face the past, and I have been able to face myself that I once escaped from.

In this life, one has to reconcile with this city in the end, otherwise it will be too painful. Even if you spend your whole life hating it and complaining about it, it will never say no to you.

Because you and I both know that it is dead and yet alive.

The car drove through the East District Prosecution Gate of Longmen City. The officers on duty at the gate were wearing black uniforms.There is a conspicuous dragon head mark on the uniform. Chen Mo has not seen this mark for a long time. The first person who saw this mark in his memory should be that serious-faced man many years ago.

At the checkpoint, the pass from Black Steel is handed to the officer on duty, and the information on it is marked as a traveler from Colombia.

"What are you doing here at Longmen?" the officer on duty asked casually.

"Visiting friends."

Chen Mo suddenly remembered that street. He didn't know what it looked like now. It had probably been converted into new buildings. After all, when he passed Longmen Street along the way, there were many more buildings that he didn't remember.

Stop the car and park in front of a flower shop.

Promote enough for a long time.

The owner of the flower shop often cast his eyes on the young man at the door. He was young and handsome, but his temperament was a bit cold, making people not want to get close to him.

Chen Mo got back into the car, and there was a wrapped bouquet of tulips on the passenger seat.

Over the years, I have seen many dead people, some died in front of me, some were killed by my own hands, and many of them could not even remember their appearance, but now they feel very dull.

When a person dies, he is called a dead person, because after being forgotten, no one remembers his name, so he has to be called a dead person.

Just imagine, if so many things hadn't happened, I might not have had to wait so long when I came to buy flowers.

Will she like it?

Chen Mo suddenly thought of this question in his mind. He shook his head slightly, trying to dispel the question that suddenly appeared in his mind and restart the car.

The light fragrance of flowers floats in the car, and outside the car is a new and unfamiliar city, with numerous shops, various pedestrians, and a sky with light snow drifting.

She will love it.

——Because I bought it for her.

The easternmost part of the city is the only cemetery in Longmen. People are also buried on the route of the moving city. That kind of burial is called a tomb passage.

The car was parked on the road down the mountain. The weather was not very good, it was overcast, lightly snowing, and windy.

The leaves and weeds swayed gently in the wind, making a rustling sound.

This is the most remote place in Longmen, and it is also the place where people least want to come. Those buried here are the most inconspicuous people in Longmen.

Walking up the stone steps on the mountain, halfway there, people in black clothes were slowly coming down the mountain. Chen Mo took the bouquet of tulips, turned sideways and got out of the way, and watched them walk down the mountain.

again.

There should be no shortage of such things over the years.

He walked up the mountain and took a long time to find the place where he stood when he was a child. After all, he had only been here once.

Standing in that tomb again【#/

Chen Mo put down the chrysanthemum in his hand.

I looked at that photo for a long time, trying to see clearly what he looked like, but in the end I still couldn't.

He didn't say a word because he didn't think about what to say. The wooden box buried in the soil was also empty, just like Chen Mo's brain now.

He just stood there for a while, because he didn't know if he would have the chance to come here again.

But what does it matter if he doesn't come back? It's like he didn't say a word now, because even if he said something, only he could hear it.

He went to the remote orphanage in the corner of the city again. He didn't go in, but just watched from a distance until the cigarette in his hand burned to the end.

Chen Mo once thought about the day he left the orphanage. He thought that his destination was in this city. He would have a new home and a girl to accompany him to start a family. He was wrong. He was wrong. He was wrong. His ridiculous fantasy when he was young, he shouldn't have had such naive ideas in the first place.

The Chen family moved away from Longmen. With his outstanding appearance and deliberate disguise, Chen Mo was mistaken for a noble by the other party when he found the old Chen-style house on Taiheng Road in Mid-Levels District even though he was dressed in ordinary clothes and in the name of Miss Chen's classmate. The head of his family returned to Yan Country a few years ago. The other party did not mention anything about Chen and seemed to avoid the topic intentionally. It was not difficult for Chen Mo to think of what happened.

It was nothing more than a drama about running away from home. The girl had this tendency when she was a child, and became even more lawless when she grew up.

He didn't get any information about Miss Chen's family, which made him feel disappointed and quietly relieved at the same time.

Chen Mo repaired in Longmen for several days, silently walking through the once familiar street scene. He couldn't find anything, but just returning to this city, to this place that already felt strange, was enough to make him feel better. He felt a sense of relief.

He suddenly realized that he had accomplished nothing over the years and had been standing still. In the end, he gained nothing but lost a lot.

Sfeldt's words always hit the mark.

He once regarded the two girls in his childhood as his future, but in fact, all he wanted was a purpose.

All gifts that one thinks are given by fate have already been marked with their price secretly.

So a letter quietly flowed from Longmen to Kazdaele.

ps: This transformation volume is a bit slow to write. Friends who can’t wait can go see Chen Huijie, you beat me again

Chapter 2 Time will eventually let us meet again

[When you are young and frivolous, you always think that you can do anything. As time goes by, you finally feel that your human resources are limited. 】

------

Outsiders can never imagine the prosperity and power of Longmen. The numerous buildings and well-developed roads are just the tip of the iceberg under this prosperity.

The lights at night are enough to cover the entire sky. There is no night in this city, and there has never been any.

Victoria's large financial capital, business giants and the surging flow of people from foreign countries, wealthy businessmen, and speculators have built it into one of the few modern economic and cultural centers in the entire east with the support of Longmen's existing economic and political system.

Feudal nobles, factory owners, capitalists, slave owners, countless money and interests poured into it, intersected, entangled, and gave birth to new products to nourish its growth.

The darkness that is taken for granted, the prosperity that arises from the back, the dirt in the shadows, and the endless opportunities.

Here you can find products from all over the world, whether they are luxury goods with a long history or specialties of a remote tribe, whether they are highly regarded masterpieces or ancient relics that have long since disappeared.

Some industries prohibited by traditional cities have special implementation channels in Longmen.

Being drunk and wealthy is not enough to describe its contingency. Getting rich overnight is the norm in the night world. The desire for power flowing through its existence under the night is the best explanation of this word.

A high degree of freedom for the people and centralized management at the top have always been the norm in Longmen. Longmen has no obvious political stance and takes economic development as its main planning direction. Therefore, it has become the best choice for many freedom-loving individuals and civil groups who are tired of politics to make a living. The habitat also accommodates the arrival of the infected, and its position far away from the center of Yanguo's power has always made Longmen naturally convenient in foreign trade.

Just like many outsiders who have just entered the city through the checkpoint in the wilderness, the moment they see its prosperity with their own eyes, they will be deeply impressed by it, and suddenly a sense of confusion and trance of the times will arise from the bottom of their hearts. , as if coming to another different world.

It is tolerant, free, stable, independent, and prosperous. It is an ideal place to live in. It is also powerful, charming, and prosperous. Its high-rise buildings and streets, and its bustling and endless stream of people, are all very desirable. It's so intoxicating that you want to live here forever.

No one can refuse such a life. Compared with wandering around in the wilderness, a stable, harmonious and prosperous home is the goal that everyone yearns for and pursues.

The same is true for Chen Mo.

He stood in front of the window of the high-rise hotel.

Over the past ten years, this city that has become increasingly alien and strange in my memory has gradually become clear again, but it seems paradoxical.

Except for the past buried deep in my mind, everything becomes blurry and pale.

Reflected in the black pupils are the silhouettes of those tall buildings, the intertwining streets below, the bustling traffic, the wide river in the distance, the vast and dark sky in the distance, and the cold wind that whistles past after the snow stops, with faint tinges in the wind. Come away from the city smoke and the hustle and bustle of the market.

He did feel a trace of nostalgia in his heart. He missed this city that was very similar to Colombia, missed those fellow countrymen who spoke the first familiar words in his memory, and missed the strangeness that had not been seen for many years in the air of this city.

The prosperity of Longmen is shocking. Although he has been prepared for it, the prosperity also means how difficult it is to face the ruler of this city, especially with his current status of being isolated and helpless.

How should he put himself and the other party on an equal scale to obtain everything he wanted to know, rely on force, strategy, the city, or the so-called passion to seek his own death.

To this city and its ruler, he is just a tiny speck of dust. After blending into the beings of this city, he will not make any ripples.

[You think so because you don’t understand your abilities yet]

Goudan’s voice sounded in his mind.

"Of course I understand the ability you are talking about, but it should be used in the right place, not now."

[You just say you are scared]

"You have become much quieter since you returned to Longmen. Why?"

[You want to know? 】

"You're afraid they'll find you."

[You are in danger. 】

"But we are back, Goudan. We always have to face it. Instead of waiting for them to come to our door, maybe we can do better."

[You don’t understand your opponents. In their eyes, you are just a tiny reptile. 】

"But I, the reptile, once chatted and laughed with a monarch."

[Don't be stupid, they are just using you. 】

"It's better than not having any room to use it. We will face it together, Goudan. If you and I can even stay in a dragon gate, you will have no shame in bragging about your invincibility in my mind."

[You still want to rely on those Sakaz. 】

"Yanhui will be a very good helper. The problems between Wei Yanwu and I are not irreconcilable. Kazdel's problem is more complicated than I expected. Those forces need pressure, and we also need help."

[It’s ridiculous. You really think you have the ability to control the situation. It’s hard to stop the situation, watchdog. 】

"My death is not what you want. I will take you with me. Don't be afraid."

【…】

Is it ridiculous?

Chen Mo doesn't mind treating himself as a pawn on the chessboard. He believes that the chess player far away in Kazdare can make more efficient decisions than himself. Even if the opponent has many quirks that others can't understand, his Talent is unquestionable.

June 1090, 3, Crystalline Era

10 am

Lido Hotel, Taiji District

The person who came was dressed casually, with short orange hair, and the ears on the top of his head had obvious Wolper characteristics. He wore jeans, short boots, and a black cotton-padded jacket. The collar of his white shirt was open, and he was holding a long black box in his hand.

He is of medium height, about 170 centimeters tall, and has a delicate appearance. His young face always has a gentle smile, and his handsome appearance can easily arouse the favor of women, just like the lady at the front desk of the hotel opposite.

The regretful eyes slowly retracted as he walked into the elevator.
