Longmen Memoirs

Does the situation in Kazdale allow her to leave privately?

Doesn't she know what dangerous situation her behavior will put herself in? Moreover, if the Tower of Babel leaves her, will the gap be exposed and exploited?

What on earth is the Doctor doing? !

What did Veena promise to Sakaz?In her current capacity, what request did she make to Kelsey.

Chen Mo has never trusted the internal security of the Tower of Babel. Although Askaron's ability should not be underestimated, after all, Theresia's ideas are so broad that even the intelligence agents of the Tower of Babel are stretched thin. Otherwise, W would not be entrusted with the important task.

He has many questions that need answers, but if he stays here, no one will come to explain to him. Like Chen Mo, Chen also has many doubts.

"Who was that person just now?" Chen's voice suddenly sounded behind him.

Chen Mo came to his senses.

"Serea." He explained: "The former head of the Rhine Life Security Department in Colombia. I met her during a mission in Black Steel. She is now my friend and collaborator. I entrusted her with the responsibility of protecting Aslan from Victoria. national borders.”

The confusion in Chen's eyes dissipated a little.

"She is not a Sakaz."

"Me neither, but she has some cooperation with Babel. One of her friends is seriously ill, and Babel can help her." Chen Mo said, "But I didn't expect to meet her so soon. Originally We were supposed to meet up at the border in Kazdaele, and she came over early.”

"Is it because of what you said just now?" Chen asked: "She said that your plans have changed, which means..."

"In other words, I may not have to stay in Victoria's sphere of influence as a bait like I did before, nor do I have to find ways to deal with the pursuing soldiers and forces that are catching up."

Chen Mo couldn't tell whether he should be happy or disappointed.

"So you are going to meet them now." Chen lowered his eyes slightly.

Chen Mo glanced at her and his clasped palms. After saying these words, Chen Mo's hands tightened a little harder.

He hesitated.

shook his head.

"No, I have to go back to the city before that." Chen Mo replied: "I'm not worried about Ms. Kelsey and her people entering Londinium, and I still have a lot of things that I need to face to face with her. ask clearly."

"Who is Kelsey?"

"She is Theresia's most trusted partner and assistant, and she is also the nominal lady of Kazdaele. The civil war in Kazdaele has just begun, so logically she should not choose to leave at this time."

"It seems that you are indeed hiding a lot of things from me." Chen suddenly asked. When Chen Mo looked over in surprise, she did not look away.

"I'm sorry, Chen."

"Isn't it too late to say this now?"

"There are many things, I don't know where to start. Some I have forgotten, some are not very important. If I tell you everything in detail, I'm afraid it will be too long."

"So you never thought of telling anyone!" Chen Leng frowned. After a few seconds, she suddenly sighed, with some exhaustion and helplessness: "I won't ask anymore, Chen Mo."

"I won't ask you anymore who you have met and what happened over the years. Even if I ask you, you will only make up some decent lies. I have heard enough of your lies, so I won't ask you. , good for you and good for me.”

When Chen Mo heard what Chen said, his tone was low. He suddenly felt empty in his heart. He wanted to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he could not say them out.

"Okay." He could only agree.

None of them mentioned the topic they just talked about again, as if they could not think about it if they didn't say this. It had never happened before. Chen Mo didn't persuade Chen to leave, and Chen didn't insist on staying.

Suddenly it felt dull and dull, and then there was a surge of loss and helplessness.

"When will we set off?" Chen suddenly asked.

Chen Mo glanced at the blanket that fell on the ground by the campfire and Chen Chixiao.

"Go now."

Chen couldn't help coughing, and his face had a sickly blush within the scope of the bonfire. Chen Mo stretched out his hand, and Chen's forehead was surprisingly hot.

"You have a fever?"

"I'm fine." Chen looked away and said, "You can hold on. You have more important things to deal with than this."

Her words sounded like she was being awkward, but it was rare for Chen to be awkward.

"Are you angry with me now?" Chen Mo asked.

Chen turned around and looked at his face seriously.

Chen Mo stopped answering.

Chen didn't say anything.

But Chen Mo turned around and squatted down.

Chen's eyes flashed.

"What do you mean?"

"I'll carry you back." Chen Mo said, "In your current condition, I'm afraid you won't be able to walk back to the city."

Chen ignored it.

"I do not need."

"You will drag me down. If your illness becomes serious again, I will have to stay and take care of you." Chen Mo's words were a little cold: "I'm not sympathizing with you, Chen."

Chen bit his lip and looked at Chen Mo's back.

"That's fine too."

"But you are the one who suffers in the end. You think, if you fall ill, then I have to leave, and you really have nothing to do, right?"

Chen hesitated, and after a few seconds she snorted coldly.

"You can't say something nice." There was obvious dissatisfaction in her words.

"That……"

"Forget it, I can't count on you." Chen sighed.

Chen Mo felt something pressing on his back. Chen Mo's arms were wrapped around his neck from behind. Chen Mo heard her whisper.

"hypocritically."

The heat of his breath hit his ears as he said this, but Chen's body relaxed.

Chen Mo was carrying the girl behind him. He turned around and used his feet to lift Chi Xiao, who was left on the ground. The two swords were staggered and hung on his waist. The cold blanket covered the freezing wind and snow.

They stepped out of the range of the fire and turned around. Chen Mo lightly stamped his feet, and the ground began to tremble. The soil that surged from the ground extinguished the bonfire, and the surroundings fell into a silent night.

"Is that... a spell?" Chen's voice rang in his ears. He had never seen anyone use Originium skills in this way.

"Yes."

"Is everything you just said to me true?"

"Ah."

Chen was startled.

Her hands tightened and she said nothing. She suddenly became quiet, as quiet as if she was sleeping. Light snow began to fall in the sky again. After dawn, the snow would cover the tracks of people on the earth.

Footprints, traces, winter is far colder than imagined.

But the warmth coming from behind, and Chen's arm around Chen Mo's neck, seemed to tell him that even in this deep and cold winter night, he was still not alone.

That soul wandered alone on this land for many years. Except when he was a child, he never had the same feeling in his memory.

I remember that it was also snowing that day, on the streets of Longmen.

Chen Mo couldn't remember clearly.

But for him now, this moment of warmth is enough. Even if he still has to lose it, he doesn't dare to expect more.

"It's okay, Chen." Chen Mo said softly: "Don't feel sad or reluctant. You know, I originally had the worst plan. I thought that when I go back to Longmen, you may not remember me anymore. , didn’t recognize who I was, couldn’t remember my name, or remember seeing me there before.”

Chen Mo lowered his voice.

"I think I can still accept it. What I think is that you will meet some new people, new friends, new partners, and have your own life, career, and ideals. Maybe there will be people who love you in the future. , the person who can accompany you through this life." Chen Mo said: "I will still be a little envious, and I will inevitably envy you, but when I think about it, in the past ten years, I have not been able to grow up with you, and I have not been able to grow up with you. I feel envious to be able to appear by your side when you need me most, but it's all what you should do. You didn't do anything wrong, and I didn't do anything wrong either. We just separated."

"Shut up!" Chen cursed softly as if he couldn't stand his chattering anymore.

Perhaps it was just because these words made Chen Huijie feel more uncomfortable. It seemed that something was blocking her chest, making her heart sting with these words, making her feel depressed and unbearable.

"Listen, Chen." Chen Mo's words did not stop because of Chen's drink. He said: "I am an infected person. From the day I contracted the Originium Disease, this was a doomed thing."

"You should be able to understand what Originium Disease represents. You should be able to say that I have ruined enough things. I have ruined my own family and ruined other people's lives. I don't need to care about what has happened. Yes, but...don't let me destroy you too."

Chen Mo said: "You have given me enough. I know what you are thinking, and you also know what I am thinking. But, Chen, Chen Huijie, as long as you still remember me and are willing to stay, it means nothing to me." You are satisfied, stop here, you should have a better life of your own, and your life has just begun."

Chen never thought that one day she would wish that time could stop forever and stop at this moment. When she was a child, because of Wei Yanwu's words, she wished that time would pass quickly and that she could grow up quickly.

What will it be like when you grow up?

When you grow up, you can change everything you want to change. When you grow up, you can stop those things before they happen. When you grow up, you have the ability to find the small tower and do what you want to do but can't. thing.

She wanted to grow up so much, and as she grew up, she became more and more rebellious. The rebellion was hidden in her bones when she was a child, but in that family, she was always suppressed, suppressed by the eyes and punishments of adults.

Toys must be placed neatly, you are not allowed to go out of the house, you must ask for permission to speak to others, and you are not allowed to look into the eyes of adults without permission...

Strip by strip, basket by basket.

She finally couldn't bear it anymore, and she finally couldn't live like that anymore.

But now that she had grown up, she suddenly realized that it was too late. He was just like her mother said, and she really couldn't believe every word he said.

"Liar..." Chen suddenly closed his eyes and said softly.

Chen Mo paused in his words.

Those well-thought-out words could no longer be said plainly.

Yes, he is indeed a liar.

Although what he said made sense, he didn't think so in his heart. How could he think so? How could he be satisfied? How could he be willing to be satisfied.

He just found a suitable excuse for himself after he had no choice but to convince himself that he was deceiving himself.

But none of these can stop what is about to happen, just like time is moving forward, just like today has passed, and there is still tomorrow.

It was like this road eventually had an end, and at the end, both he and Chen knew that they had to separate.

The outline of the city of Londinium is getting closer and closer in the night. The lights of the city are like the scattered stars in the sky. They roam the land and are home to millions of lives. The city provides them with shelter. , and they make the city more prosperous.

People can never live alone.

The connection between people is the most precious and cheapest thing on this earth.

Chen raised her head and looked at Londinium, which was getting closer and closer. The outline of the distant city was reflected in her red pupils. She suddenly felt that the city was so small, but she had never been able to get out of the city in her life.

She seemed to have made a decision.

Chen Mo never heard Chen's words again. He led Chen over the inspection gate. As he got closer to the inspection gate, he should have left Chen here.

But he suddenly felt a little reluctant.

"Just stay a little longer, just a little while." Chen suddenly grabbed his collar tightly, as if he was afraid that he would leave him here.

Even though she knew in her heart that this moment wouldn't change anything.

Even though they all understand... this moment, just a few minutes or a few hours, can't change anything, but they also understand that this separation will probably never see each other again in this life.

It is easy to see each other when we are apart, but it is difficult to meet again.

The late winter nights in Londinium were much colder than expected, although they were far less cold than the snowfields in northern Ursus, which were always cold all year round.

They walked on the night streets of Londinium. There were no crowds on the cold streets. Chen suddenly remembered the winter in Longmen the year they parted. Londinium was far less lively and friendly than Longmen.

There was a trace of change in things and people in her heart, the alienation of a foreign country and the longing for Longmen. Never at that moment, Chen Hui felt that she missed Longmen, maybe not Longmen, but the things that were about to be forgotten but were suddenly recalled again. The thin and broken past has emerged.

Chen Mo was once Chen Mo's only thought and joy other than Tallulah in that unhappy childhood. Perhaps, apart from Tallulah's identity and the later life in which they became more and more familiar with each other, compared to Xiaota , Chen is also looking forward to seeing him again, his ridiculous stories, and his hateful stinky face.

She spent a long time growing up, and she spent a lot of effort trying not to think about the past that made her weak. She wanted to change something, and she had already begun to try to do so. .

But Chen Mo appeared in Chen Huijie's world again, just like when he was a child, he suddenly broke in, but after he left, she felt reluctant to leave. She had obviously made up her mind, but this time she didn't have to rush. Will leave on his own.

Chen Mo could feel Chen's body trembling slightly due to the cold.

"where are we going?"
