Longmen Memoirs

The name of the glorious family was wiped out overnight.

The stronghold was uprooted, the speaker was assassinated, and enemies from inside and outside disrupted the family's glory. They dismembered the Texas territory. The destruction of the family was normal in Syracuse, but the destruction of Texas still caused a stir. Got everyone's attention.

The whole city was filled with fighting and fighting.

The glory of Texas was built on the corpses of countless enemies.

The small black building in my memory was burned to ashes by a fire on a rainy night.

When she woke up, she leaned against the wall. Everything had settled. Only Ms. Isa's cry still lingered in her mind amidst the fire and roar of the explosion.

Silver wolf sits at the window.

The silver fur was stained with dirt, and the blood on his face had long dried to pitch black. His right arm was hanging by his side, obviously badly injured.

It seemed like the first time I saw her, she was in such a mess, kneeling on the floor of the living room, her black clothes in tatters.

... Laplander.

She saw Texas waking up.

She leaned down and handed over a blood-stained nameplate, on which were engraved three metal wolf fangs and a family name that had just been destroyed.

"One good news and one bad news, which one do you want to hear first?" she asked.

There was a smile on the embarrassed face.

Texas didn't answer, just took the nameplate from her hand and held it in his hand.

She was talking to herself again.

"The good news is that you are now the talker of the Texas family. The bad news is that you are the only one left in Texas."

Lapland sat down next to Texas.

On the Texas shoulder.

She used her good left hand to open a deformed paper box. Inside the box was a deformed and flattened pancake. She tore open the pancake and handed half of it to Texas beside her.

Texas took the shapeless piece of cake and took a bite.

Lapland looked at the small sky outside the window.

"Some people have died, and some have severed ties with us. Your father, the head of the Texas family, tried to make the family the only talker in Syracuse. He failed. Sicily has never been so united. For a target, there was someone who had the same idea as him, had planned it for a long time, and did it better than Texas."

Her words were like reporting to Texas next to her, even though Texas is now the only family member left.

Texas did not respond.

She just bit the food in her hand, not knowing what she was thinking with her calm eyes.

Lapland did not look at her.

"They spent a lot of money to buy your life. There are no relatives of you in the family. Many people are dead. They have controlled the movements of the main figures in the family in advance. I can't contact other helpers. No one is willing to help in this limelight. us."

LaPland continued, seemingly talking to herself, but she knew Texas was listening, and so was she.

"I heard that Mr. Leo changed his schedule midway and survived, but was seriously injured. I don't know if the news is true. Maybe it was a bait they put out to lure us into a trap..."

"But you don't have to worry. They are probably still busy integrating and dividing our territory now, and they can't take care of you for the time being. You are a lone Texas, and you can't afford them to mobilize troops."

Lapland tilted her head, and Texas finished the pie in her hand. She looked at the stained side of Texas' face next to her.

"What do you think? If you want to confirm the news about Mr. Leo, I can accompany you. You are now the new head of the Texas family."

Texas listened silently, she said nothing.

After a while, she turned her head and looked at Lapland beside her. Their eyes met together, just like when the family met again in a crowded crowd for the second time.

But she was still in a daze.

The smell of the living room and family, which once made her feel depressed but gradually got used to, became a thing of the past overnight.

She sniffed slightly.

You can only smell the earth and the decay of this old house. The smell of Lapland does not have the familiar strange smell of incense and cigarettes.

As a qualified Texas, what she should be thinking about at this time is how to take revenge and make a comeback, but this idea did not cross Texas's mind.

Her fingers rubbed the blood-stained metal nameplate in her hand, but her amber eyes failed to shed even a single tear because of this earth-shaking change.

Lapland didn't hear the answer, she saw the look in Texas's eyes.

She shut up.

Maybe she should give Texas some time to adapt to this sudden change. She opened her mouth and whispered, "We can't stay here any longer. We should go somewhere else to avoid the limelight..."

"No matter what your plans are in the future, we must find a way to survive first. I will be with you."

The weird-looking knife forced Texas back.

She tried her best to defend, but she still suffered many injuries from Lapland's sword.

She didn't kill herself right away.

She could have done so.

Texas saw Lapland Eyes.

Is that hate?Still disappointed.

They have known each other since then.

Texas got to know LaPland and herself.

Because in fact they didn't understand each other in the past.

Lapland came to know Texas and herself, for although she had always known herself, she had never known herself for what she was.

Chapter 22 Two Wolves: Ciao Amore

No matter what your plans are in the future, we must first find a way to survive. I am with you.

She once said that, maybe she didn't hear it clearly at that time, Texas thought, her mind went blank. Even if her family was destroyed, all that was left to her was peace and relaxation as if she could finally take a breath.

Lapland sat next to her and they leaned against the cement slab.

She saw the gray sky of Syracuse outside the window, and the dim light of dusk fell on the floor from the small window, shining on the gray-black fur.

She suddenly felt like this was a terrible nightmare. Perhaps her consciousness was still a little dazed. The setting sun fell in her amber eyes, dazzling and terrifying.

"I asked an acquaintance from before to find a job, but you have to help me. It may be a bit dangerous, but the reward is rich, and we can live a long time if we save a little."

The life after that seems to be completely different from before. In addition to being a little more free, it is actually the same killing with a knife. But before it was for the family, now it is for survival.

Lapland knows many ways to survive.

Revenge, vendetta, or to put it simply, just killing. When they pick up the knife, they don't care about anything except their goals and tasks.

Texas never thought about avenging his family, but family enemies could always come to his door. Texas, this once huge family, had countless enemies. Even after its decline, its enemies still existed.

Texas has not given up the family name, so naturally she has to bear this hatred, as the last Texas, as a bounty hunter.

The house is always small, and because it is easy to escape, it is often chosen in a noisy place. Sometimes you need one or two spies, and you have to be vigilant at all times, lest the person opposite pulls out a knife and rushes at you as soon as you sit down. .

"Remember the first bounty we got after that? Texas?"

The corners of Lapland's mouth curled up, revealing an arrogant arc.

"There were five people in that Originium Refinery. In the end, only you and I survived. Albert pinned the charges on us and sold you and me at a good price."

The thin dagger could barely hold the two slashed knives. Lapland did not use any spells. Texas staggered back. She heard Lapland say this.

The blood seeped through the shirt again, and Texas could smell the blood, but she couldn't care less.

"How do you do it?"

Lapland asked, the double swords pressing forward step by step, Texas kept retreating, the sparks lit up and went out deep in the alley, illuminating Texas' indifferent profile.

Of course Texas remembers.

She remembered it well.

She was injured when she came out of the Originium Refinery. She didn't like the smell of disinfectant in the hospital, but in that private clinic, she personally killed the employer who betrayed them.

"You killed him because he wanted to kill us, he betrayed us because we wanted to live, haha."

Lapland laughed, his smile filled with madness and paranoia.

"But you didn't tell me that you were the one who killed him first. You killed his wife and daughter."

"It was Texas that killed them. It was your family, Texas. You know it in your heart. Do you still remember what I taught you?"

The long knife took away the dagger in Texas' hand. Lapland came closer and was only a few centimeters away. She did not wave the knife, so Texas could easily see Lapland's pair of familiar eyes. Eye.

Reflecting his own pale face at this moment.

Holding the dagger away with her backhand and stabbing it down, Lapland let go of the knife in her right hand. With the crisp sound of steel falling to the ground, she grabbed Texas's left hand holding the dagger and squeezed her against the alley wall. superior.

LaPland was close to Texas' ear.

The flying silver hair slowly hangs down.

"If someone comes to kill you in the name of revenge, once you take up arms, there is no need for a reason to kill."

Lapland whispered.

"You know, of course you know, have you noticed that since the fall of Texas, you seem to have suddenly removed a certain shackles, but your enemies don't think so. They never think so. Those who were defeated by Dirk The families that were destroyed by SARS, the shadows caused by Texas, everything, you have to bear."

Lapland's words were very soft, but extremely clear. Texas did not hesitate. She raised her knees, Lapland stepped back, and the dagger in her hand fell into Lapland's hand.

She stood a few steps away.

In his hand hung a dagger that originally belonged to Texas.

"You have no weapons now. Why did you start to waver over these things, Texas?"

Lapland asked, throwing aside the dagger in her hand and inserting it into the wall.

"It's not like you."

"I said, it's all over."

"You really think so, haha, hahaha."

"How much chance do you think you have of winning now? How long can you hold on to get out of my hands alive from here? No one will come to help you this time. Leave Texas and leave me. You What’s left!”

Lapland said, his voice getting lower and lower.

"From the beginning to the end, no one will come to help us. The only ones who can help us are you and me."

Texas pursed his lips.

The pain of the wound was almost numb, and she could even clearly hear the flow of blood in her veins and the beating of her heart. Only the wolf opposite her was left in her blurry vision.

That face was familiar to her but also felt a little strange.

Stained with blood, they leaned against the wall behind them, bandaging their wounds, looking at each other's tired faces. The nicotine from the burning cigarettes poured into their lungs, temporarily calming the pain from the wounds.

She saw the knife that Lapland had deliberately left on the ground.

She would never make such a stupid mistake.

The sweet, rusty smell poured into her nostrils, and the wolf's keen sense of smell seemed to have become a burden at this moment, making her unable to help but recall things that had gradually become blurry in the past.

It's obviously a memory from not too long ago, but it makes people feel tired as if it had been many years.

Unspeakable death, they had experienced death countless times, but each time they survived, and every time...it was the enemy who died.

Texas is very afraid of death, but Texas has never been afraid of death. Death is not worth fearing. Death always occurs suddenly and people cannot be fully prepared.

Whether it's your own or someone else's.

It has always been so.

(I.e.

"I leave you a sword." Behind the wall of the Originium Refinery, Lapland looked into Texas's eyes and said, "Their attack drones will come in soon. You have no air defense." Means, my technique can buy you time. When I shoot down their drone, you can move out at the right time, find those lurking snipers, and then kill them."

Lapland put the sword in his right hand into Texas's hand and touched Texas' cold fingers: "You know what to do, right, I'll wait for you outside, we'll have a round outside."
