Longmen Memoirs

Most of the caravans and some outsiders also chose that business. There were originally a few apprentices here in Torif, but they all left later. Some went there, and some left the city. They felt that Sooner or later, Torif will be replaced here. In fact, Torif himself thinks so. There are fewer and fewer customers. Although his technology has not deteriorated, it is difficult to maintain the store.

Torif just thought that after a year or two, he would close the store.

Chen Mo was chatting with Old Tollif. To be precise, he listened to the old worker telling him about his inner distress. Old Tollif said that Ursus has introduced many new things that were not available before, even in remote towns like theirs. Also started to spread.

He said that times had changed, but he couldn't tell what the change was. He only said that it was different from when the late emperor was in power.

But Chen Mo knew.

Chen Mo knew that it was because the new nobles who had risen in Ursus were trying to reform. The new emperor and parliament of Ursus were trying to reform the social economy of Ursus to alleviate social conflicts and the decline of Ursus' national power. Because the old military nobles Due to the constraints, they could only adopt this relatively mild way to influence the social class of Ursus.

But Chen Mo didn't tell the old Ursus. He just said that times have changed, and many new gadgets have appeared in his hometown. Many old craftsmanship and previously familiar things are being replaced by new things.

Tollif felt that there was something different about this young man. In his opinion, most young people in the town were happy to see this change, and were even happy and motivated by it. Some even said that old guys like Tollif were stubborn.

This is the first time Torif has heard this statement.

Old Torif had a straightforward character, he asked.

"Maybe it's because I'm a nostalgic person." Chen Mo handed the tool to the other party.

"There are not many young people like you."

"So the friends I know say I'm more conservative."

"Haha, but young people, you really shouldn't be like us old guys who are half buried in the soil, living by the rules of the past. We can't do it anymore, but you must have an era that belongs to you."

Chen Mo didn't know where the era that Old Torif mentioned belonged to young people like them was. Whether it was like the restless power class of Ursus now. When their struggle comes to an end, this huge country will move towards a world with A completely different direction before.

Times fade away one by one, and people in the era also grow old one after another like a tide.

At that time, Chen Mo never thought that in Ursus, he would have his own place in the era mentioned by the old man. He also never thought that the person he wanted to find was standing at the forefront of this era.

Her ideals will harm herself.

And her justice finally led to Xiaota's death just as Chen Mo thought.

The night was dark.

The streets of the city were dimly lit with dim street lights, and the dusty Sakaz stood under the lights and stared at the small car repair shop in the distance.

In the car repair shop, the man who was talking to old Ursus took off his clothes, and the hand holding the weapon was stained with engine oil. He seemed to be a car repairman.

It was obvious that he was what people called the Butcher of Sarkaz, it was obvious that he once stood at the pinnacle of Kazdael's power, and it was obvious that he should have a splendid life.

He should be remembered instead of living in obscurity.

w suddenly felt that something was wrong, that it shouldn't be like this. She felt like her heart was blocked by something. She had never felt like this before, anger and inexplicable sadness that came from nowhere.

How can you endure this kind of life? You have killed so many people, how can you still live so peacefully?

It sure is.

This damn man, how dare he live so lightly? His life should be full of pain and unwillingness, and he would eventually lose his breath in despair and fear.

Chen Mo raised his head.

He saw Sakaz standing under the dim streetlight.

After a brief look at each other, Chen Mo put down the tools in his hands. Seeing what he said to old Ursus, he walked out of the car repair shop and merged into the alley behind the car shop.

After following him, W saw him lighting a cigarette and sitting on the steps of the alley.

He just sat there so quietly, even if W stood in front of him, even if Sakaz had pointed the dark gun at him, even if Sakaz would kill him.

Chen Mo made no move.

Because from beginning to end, w never showed a smile.

She stopped laughing, this was [-

Chapter 37 w is a weird person ([-])

Between the person who loves you and the person you love, most people actually know how to choose, but in fact, people often choose the latter.

Because compared to the person you don’t love but loves you, your heart is more inclined to the person you love, even if you know that there will be no result with the latter in the end, even if you know that for the latter, you became the former.

This kind of person is stupid, but it is also common.

Such as fox, such as Chen.

If you don't love, you don't love. There has never been any reason to explain. Feelings can never be rational and are like a series of fixed numbers. Feelings are often a selfish word.

w didn't know if she had similar special emotions towards the guy in front of her. Maybe she had never thought about or realized that such thoughts would arise deep in her heart.

But her anger could not be concealed, and it came from nowhere. She understood this as her hatred for Chen Mo, such as Sakaz's hostility towards this outsider stained with Sakaz's blood.

Even though the origin of this hostility is heavy-sounding, it makes people feel ridiculous.

W had no choice but to think this way and convince herself in this way, otherwise she would not know how to get along with the person in front of her anymore or how to face him.

But for W, if she really harbors hatred and hostility towards someone that she will kill immediately, she will usually hide it extremely perfectly. She will never be like this now, and she can't even squeeze out a smile from the corners of her mouth.

"coming?"

Chen Mo looked up at the muzzle of the gun pointed at her. W's finger tightened on the trigger, very hard. She looked down at herself in front of her, and her bright red eyes became extremely clear in the night.

With a certain hatred and something that puzzled Chen Mo, she had a pair of beautiful eyes, red and bright pupils. Whenever the girl smiled, those eyes were always particularly eye-catching. .

Even the thick smoke and dust on the Kazdare battlefield could not hide the brilliance in those eyes.

Chen Mo's calm gaze made W feel a little surprised, followed by silence. She pursed her lips, but the hand holding the gun did not tremble at all. An elite Sakaz mercenary should not use emotions to damage the weapon at any time. shake.

Because life and death are often decided in a moment.

"Why don't you pull the trigger?"

w didn't answer, so Chen Mo asked again.

"You think I don't dare?" As if to confirm her words, she pressed down slightly on the trigger.

"You pulled the trigger and the gunshot sounded, but I won't die here." Chen Mo said, "You chased me from Kazdale to here just because you want my life. I'm here, why don't you take action? ."

"Stop joking, can you let me kill you so easily?" W asked with a sneer, a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, but she did not move away: "I heard, you are in Londinium He did a good thing, but he was driven out like a dead dog, and he ran away all the way and hid here."

"So you came all the way just to see my joke?"

"Of course." W said: "I even wish you died in Londinium. It would be so much easier, so why don't you just die there?!"

Her words were unabashedly vicious and mean.

"I let you down, W." Chen Mo put out the cigarette, threw away the cigarette butt, raised his foot and stamped it out, then looked up at W, who was looking down at him, with an increasingly sarcastic smile on her lips.

"No, now it seems that it is a good thing for me that you are not dead, so that I can have the opportunity to kill you with my own hands!"

"You can't kill me."

"Haha, haha, do you really dare to say that? Do you still think that you are the leader of Liting? You are no longer. Look at you now. Who else do you think can help you?" W asked with a smile: "No, you are just a wild dog with nowhere to go. It's time for you to recognize yourself, bastard."

"...I don't remember you hating me so much?"

"Ha, do you still need a reason to hate someone?"

"Isn't it necessary?" Chen Mo asked back: "I know you, w, even though I don't have much contact with you, you hate me for using you as bait, and hate me for not paying attention to the lives of the Sakaz people. I can't do any of this. Refute, yes, I did commit an unforgivable mistake against you Sakaz."

"...Shut up!" W suddenly said coldly.

"Theresa has said more than once that she is unwilling to see Kazdaele continue to bleed, nor is she willing to use such a cruel method to win this war. Her thoughts are always too beautiful, but I don't think so. I thought, so I tried my best to force her to take this road. I provoked many conflicts in Kazdaele. I incited the Sakaz people to start this war. I also secretly created many so-called evidences to provoke The differences between the Tower of Babel and the Parliament." Chen Mo said: "In other words, without me, so many people should not have died in this civil war in Kazdare. Without me, Sakaz would have lost a lot of unnecessary people. Sacrifice, so I don’t think their testimony against me was biased.”

"Are you regretting it now? Repenting for what you did?"

w asked, her smile disappeared from the corner of her mouth, her expression calmed down, but with a gloomy look.

"Regret, no, w, how could I regret it? I just said that their accusations against me were not unreasonable, but I didn't say that they, those people, were qualified to accuse me of my crimes." Chen Mo shook his head and answered, standing up , looking directly into W's eyes: "They are not worthy of making me regret. What really makes me regret is the warriors and Sakaz who I promised to take them alive to see the revival of Kazdaele."

"In this war, many people died. They died, and their lives were only once, and there was no chance for them to come back again."

"..."

w was silent for a moment, gritting her teeth and looking at Chen Mo's face.

"Don't think that if you say this, I will suddenly be kind enough to let you go. If you really think so, I can send you down to meet them for free. You can ask them face to face if they will forgive you."

Chen Mo didn't answer.

He suddenly stretched out his hand and held W's blunderbuss, aiming it at his heart. The moment the blunderbuss mouth was aimed at her heart, W's hand subconsciously moved back a little, but she soon noticed her action.

"What do you mean?"

"Give you a chance to pull the trigger."

"I don't need your pity!"

"This is not pity. I remember when I first met you, you said that one day you would personally take off my head. From then on, wasn't my life already predetermined by you?" Chen Mo Question: "The opportunity is right in front of you now. If you pull the trigger, you can become that Sarkaz mercenary again. It has nothing to do with Kazdel, it's just between you and me."

"You want to break off the relationship with me in this way!" W suddenly realized something and asked with a sullen face.

"Is there anything else we need to clear up between us?"

There is not much friendship between us at all.

"..."

"whispering sound……"

They looked at each other. After a few seconds, w suddenly pulled the finger on the trigger without any warning. The crisp sound disappeared in the alley. She looked at Chen Mo's face. Unfortunately, she could not see it. Regardless of any fear, his expression was only calm from beginning to end.

w suddenly understood.

"How dare you play tricks on me!" she said coldly, her viciousness clearly displayed at this moment.

The mercenary who always enjoyed playing tricks on the enemy on the battlefield tasted the feeling of being played for the first time, but for some reason, W suddenly felt a little more relaxed.

"You're not here to kill me, are you? W." Chen Mo asked. He watched W slowly lower the blunderbuss in his hand, and W's face looked uncertain.

"You just want an answer, an answer you don't even know what it is, but I can't give it to you."

"You, you, Hedley and Ines, do you know what you three look like in my eyes? Hedley is always worried, Ines is always hesitant, and you, you seem to have no heart. No Lung, but he is actually the one who values ​​the team the most among the three of you, because you have nowhere to go, because you don’t know what you should do and what else you can do.”

Chen Mo said: "So after joining the Tower of Babel, Hedley and Ines entered the court, and you were left in the Tower of Babel. In fact, you knew Hedley's little thoughts, and they would You stayed in the Tower of Babel as a backup, and you pretended not to know this, but you tried your best to do everything the Tower of Babel asked you to do, because one day, they may need you."

"Hey, you seem to know me very well. What do you know about me?" W replied disdainfully, but did not bring up the subject of killing him again.

"Of course I don't know you, and I don't have the time to understand an employee of the Tower of Babel, but I have to get to know Hedley and Ines, because they have become one of my men, and I want to be responsible for what they have done. You have to be responsible for what you did." Chen Mo said: "For a period of time, you often went to the residence of Liting. During that time, we had many interactions. I know your purpose. You were worried about the situation of Ines and Hedley. , even if you don’t say it, you want to make sure they’re not going to be put at risk by joining the court.”

"..."

"In fact, Scout also mentioned you to me. He had a high opinion of you, but he told me that you were very confused and that you regarded Theresia as a kind of sustenance. This is true in Saka This is a very common situation. Most Sakaz have special emotions, admiration and love for Theresia, but you are different. Your feelings for Theresia are purer and more persistent. Some kind of It’s not a good thing to be persistent, and I even regard her as an indispensable part of my life.”

"...Haha, it's really ridiculous. Why don't I know what you said?" W suddenly smiled and said sarcastically. He looked at Chen Mo's face with undisguised sarcasm and disdain.

To a certain extent, W is an awkward person, and her awkwardness comes from her inconsistencies.

She thought she was pretending well, at least she was using some way to make people think she was the person she wanted others to think, that she was a madman and an unpleasant person.

In W's view, she is different from those in the Tower of Babel because she is more realistic and because she has experienced a crueler past than those in the Tower of Babel, so she is not so naive.

But in this way, she also had certain expectations for Theresia, a certain kind of yearning and longing for light for people in darkness.

There are many people in Sakaziri who have the same idea as her. W is not the first, nor will she be the last. It’s just that she is younger and therefore appears more morbid.

The chaotic and disputed battlefield of Kazdale created W. She became increasingly unclear about who she was and what kind of person she should be, so she disguised herself in various ways and shaped herself into the front line of the mercenary team. w, and shaped herself into an operator of the Tower of Babel. Perhaps she will wear more masks for herself in the future, and only when she is in front of Theresia can she occasionally feel the truest version of herself.

Chen Mo didn't answer.

Looking into Chen Mo's eyes, her sneer was strong at first, and then slowly passed away, and her disdainful eyes gradually became silent.

The feeling of being seen through made W very uncomfortable.

She was silent.

A rare silence fell.

Was there ever a moment when Chen Molingw mistakenly thought that he had met someone of the same kind? When he was at his most hesitant, he met the Sarkaz migration team and Theresia, so he stayed in Kazdale. , and w, also met Theresia in his long and short life with no end in sight. Before that, w had no idea that maybe she would die somewhere on the battlefield one day. This is how her life should end.

Until she met Theresia and the migrating Rhode Island.

What does it mean to pick up the weapons of dead Sarkaz in Kazdare?

It means you will inherit the identity of the former.

Chen Mo used W and numerous mercenary squads as bait to lure out the enemies who would attack the Babel transport troops and the mercenaries who might provide them with clues. It was just like the Sakaz used the same method a long time ago. This method leads to the spies in the team to ensure the migration distance.
