Longmen Memoirs

"I know you are listening, thank you. It's obviously me who has been dragging you down. If you met someone other than me, you would definitely be able to get out of here alive."

"No need to thank me, I promised you."

"Yeah, we agreed, so we all have to get out of here alive, and none of us can die here."

"On the 15th, you missed the rendezvous time, the mission report, wait... is that... a corpse in your hand?"

A figure walked slowly in the snow, holding an unconscious child in his right hand, and finally stopped in front of the inner guard who spoke.

It was indeed a corpse, because his breathing could no longer be felt.

"No, No. 20, he is still alive, a stubborn Ursus kid."

No. 15 lowered his gaze, glanced at the figure in his hand, and then turned his eyes to No. 20 opposite.

"With this level of injury, there's no way he's still alive."

No. 20 said that the blood on the neck had long dried up, and the blood in the fatal wound had also drained away. The skin and flesh were dark black, but something could be faintly seen flowing in it to replace the dried blood.

No. 20 instantly realized what it was.

"You shouldn't..."

"Relax, my comrade. I am certain that when I found him, he was indeed still alive. On the 20th, he was not completely dead at that time. Although it was just a little bit of malice that was insignificant to us, he could rely on his own His will has been fighting all the way, and many times along the way, when I thought that his will would be destroyed, he persisted beyond my expectation."

No. 15 calmly explained, and No. 20 guessed what he was thinking.

He hesitated briefly.

"...You should understand that the inner defense system will never allow a person of unknown origin to become one of them."

"But he is indeed a good prospect, and he is an internal defender? Unfortunately, how many people really remember who we are loyal to? What we are loyal to is our motherland and the continuation and stability of Ursus. For this, we can use all the resources to oppose us. A beneficial force for Ursus."

"Before you make up your mind, you have to convince the other members."

"It seems you don't object."

"I don't object that we do need to add some new blood, No. 15, but before that he must go through many tests before joining the inside defender, and you will be his direct person in charge, you should understand what I mean."

"That's not a problem. After all... he has already gone through the most difficult level."

"That's the end of this topic. Let's report your situation now. On the 15th, you have already been in contact with that facility. Please tell us your assessment whether they are related to the remnants of the great rebellion and are worthy of our immediate action."

"The remnants of the great rebellion colluded with a group of Colombians and conducted a series of human experiments related to the Origin Stone in the Ursus facility. They intended to cultivate evil creatures spawned by the Origin Stone. I have obtained We have obtained evidence that can confirm this, including several new nobles who are in the limelight at this time. This is a big business."

"Will they threaten Daousus' safety?"

"Not for the time being. We can delay the time to clean up this cancer, and then we can take action together after identifying all the people behind it. The new emperor in the Holy Castle should also be happy to see this situation. Recently, he and his It seems that the parliament is gradually unable to suppress the new nobles who are ready to move, and they need a warning."

"We can help him. It has only been a long time since the great rebellion. This group of businessmen and villains have already tasted the sweetness." No. 20 said: "But the inner guards have different opinions on this. No. 15 , maybe some people have drifted away from us.”

"So you didn't object to my idea just now?"

"We have to prepare in advance to prevent a bigger disaster from happening. Kosiche came to us before and he came up with a very interesting plan."

"Oh? That immortal... black snake." No. 15 asked with great interest: "What did he say? His confusing words. The immortal is not a good thing."

"But you have to admit that his words are indeed very inflammatory, and some people have already moved. His Majesty's Ursus cannot come back again, but Ursus must still move towards an equally great and glorious future."

"Huh...I won't make any comments."

"Let me remind you, No. 15, your attitude can easily be mistaken for an enemy."

"Oh? Because I don't choose to join any side? Before this, I would rather die outside Sunset Canyon."

"That's a really desirable way to die."

Blood, dazzling and scarlet blood dyed the white underfoot red the moment it dripped into the snow.

The pain from the wound cannot be faked.

Chen Mo couldn't deny that when he heard the familiar string of numbers, he was in a daze that almost cost him his life. If it weren't for the fighting consciousness that his body had developed over a long period of time, which made him avoid the vital point by conditioned reflex, he would have been in a trance at this moment. He should have lost his head【&

Instead of now, it just left a small wound on the left shoulder.

He turned the sword around and swept away without waiting for the opponent to pursue him. The Ursus guard in front of him had already drawn his sword and jumped out of the range of the blade.

"……List!"

Blood dripped, and Shuangxing, who was watching this scene from behind, shouted subconsciously.

She subconsciously wanted to use magic to cross the wall of extinguished fire, but Chen Mo, who was a few meters away in front of her, suddenly stopped her steps with a loud shout.

"Don't come here! Leave him to me. You go back and inform the camp and Tallulah."

"You want me to leave you and run away! It's impossible, I haven't fallen to the point where I need a wounded person to cut off my back!"

"No, Froststar."

Chen Mo held the hilt of the sword a little harder. He ignored the bleeding wound on his left shoulder and stared at the inner guard opposite who was covered by a mask.

That face hidden under the mask.

He couldn't even remember what the man looked like.

"This is a matter between him and me, even you can't interfere!"

Since when did I have this idea of ​​having an advantage but not wanting others to get involved?

Chen Mo suddenly thought to himself.

But his tone was extremely decisive. Shuangxing could only see his back, but not his expression at the moment. He paused.

"Now is not the time to argue about who should stay and break up the rear. Shuangxing, since the Usas inner guard appears here, he cannot be the only one. Yang Ge and the others may not be able to go back smoothly. The safety of the camp is more important."

Froststar hesitated.

She gritted her teeth and looked at the injured Chen Mo in front of her and the inner guard on the opposite side. She couldn't leave a wounded person and escape, but she couldn't deny that Chen Mo's words were correct.

Now is really not the time to argue about this.

"No need to hesitate, he is right, magician, there is no one else in this direction except me, but we have surrounded your location. Even if the two infected people can go back, nothing can be changed."

The inner guard opposite suddenly said: "You don't understand the person next to you. Why do you think he let you leave? You will only be a burden to him if you stay. Even so, you still have to stay?"

"you……"

"We don't have to fight, Master, and my mission is not to execute you, even if you are a group of infected people."

"Oh, you suddenly appeared here and attacked my team members. Now you tell me that you and we are not enemies. Who do you think will believe this nonsense?" Shuangxing retorted coldly.

"Then why are you hesitant?" Nei Wei asked: "Since you don't believe what I say, why do you continue to stay here? Oh, you are afraid that I will deceive you, and you are afraid that this person will die here because of this. Aren't you worried about going back? The two people who reported the news died on the road. If I am really lying to you, should you leave now, or is the person in front of you more important than your team members? "

Shuangxing did not answer, because before that, the sword in Chen Mo's hand caught up with the inner guard again.

The swords collided in the cold air. Within a few seconds, two different weapons collided dozens of times. The blade was almost invisible. The cold light flashed and the thick tree trunk was passed by everything.

The snow was broken by footsteps, and the swirling snowflakes were torn into pieces by the light and shadow of swords. Without the use of magic, the pure fight of life and death was more thrilling than magic.

The rhythm of his breathing kept changing with the collision of the weapons in his hands, so that his ears were filled with the sound of tearing wind.

The rapid fighting suddenly came to a halt, and two different weapons were locked in a fierce stalemate in mid-air, with two different pairs of hands gripping the hilts of each other's weapons.

The rising air waves blew over the fallen snow and raised the corner of Frost Star's cloak.

She couldn't find any chance to intervene.

Chen Mo's black pupils reflected the figure of the inner guard who was very close at hand. They were only a few dozen centimeters away. The blue flame suddenly exploded and seemed to freeze in mid-air for an instant. Time seemed to have been pressed on the pause button, including the surrounding falling objects. Snowflakes and black smoke spread along the red blade in the hand of the inner guard, and spread from the soles of the feet to the surroundings like water.

Everything it touched, the earth, snow, and trees, began to wither and rot at an extremely fast speed, and eventually dispersed into black dust, accompanied by burning flames. This invisible thing seemed to encounter some obstacle, little by little. Eroded, annihilated.

"Tell me! Where did you know this number?"

Chen Mo didn't seem to notice these changes, didn't notice that his spells were being annihilated, and didn't notice that the black smoke was eroding his position.

Although that kind of aura made him feel a kind of unreasonable disgust, or rejection.

He also failed to see the confusion, confusion and uneasiness on his face at this moment.

"Huh... you have indeed become weak." The inner guard replied aloud: "Is it because this string of numbers you are familiar with reminds you of the past that you dare not recall, or is it because you have always felt guilty about it."

"It's actually not hard to think of, isn't it? I've told you this number that's familiar to you here. You've already made a guess in your mind, so why do you need to hear the answer from me?"

Chen Mo clenched the hilt of the sword in his hand. He thought his hand would tremble because of these words, but in fact, his hand was very steady, so steady that he seemed to have forgotten what hesitation and trembling felt like.

"I'm very disappointed, 013. I'm disappointed that someone who was once as determined and tenacious as you can now be so weak and cowardly. Or should I say that after bearing the identity of an infected person, even you can't break free from this shackles."

"..."

"013? Huh."

Chen Mo lowered his gaze slightly and suddenly chuckled.

Fine black scales gradually climbed up his face, and his right eye seemed to be ignited with golden flames. The erosion of the black mist stopped, as if blocked by something invisible, and the solidified flames cracked into powder and dissipated like a phantom.

In those blue hazes of light.

The inner guard could clearly see his expression and the sarcastic smile on his face, and then a hand covered with black scales and sharp claws suddenly appeared in his field of vision and kept enlarging.

The soaring body broke several thick tree trunks before stopping, and fell heavily into the snow under the tree.

"Ahem... A person who hides behind a mask and doesn't dare to see anyone, who gives you the courage to call me that!"

He coughed lightly and wiped away the blood that overflowed from the corner of his mouth. The huge pain caused by exceeding the load that his body could bear seemed to be tearing apart his internal organs and every inch of his flesh.

That shouldn't be pain that people can endure.

But no one knew why he did this, and no one knew what he was thinking at this moment.

Chapter 43 Death and Life Together ([-])

The day we put iron chains on our wrists, they said, our lives will be tied together from now on. We will live and die together, no matter whether the person opposite the iron chain is strong or weak.

We all must live together, or die together.

Later I broke free of the chains, but maybe what I broke free was just the shackles tied to my hands.

------

When the air waves subsided, Shuangxing looked at Chen Mo's back in disbelief. The monster's scale-covered claws were reflected in the bottom of his gray pupils, and the blue-light sword rolled up the flying snowflakes.

The black hair began to fade from the roots to white at a speed visible to the naked eye, withered gray. In a few seconds, his head was completely gray.

More than ten meters away, Neiwei collapsed under a tree. The tree trunks behind him and the surrounding snow were eroded by black air, instantly losing their vitality and turning into black powder that slowly filled the air.

The fingers gripping the handle of the scarlet scimitar moved, and with the sound of joints, the arm that was broken by the impact returned to its original position at a weird angle.

He raised his head and stared in the direction of the monster.

"Huh...his, I'm surprised, you actually left your hand?!"

He asked in a hoarse voice, slowly standing up from the ground relying on the knife in his hand.

"You just had the chance to pierce my heart, why didn't you do it."

"I can take your life at any time, Ursus. Before that, answer my question, where did you know that string of numbers?"

Chen Mo asked coldly.

"A useless question."

"Don't make me say it, the second time!"

"……call."

The inner guard breathed out softly, fell silent, and raised the knife in his hand.

"That powerful posture is amazing. How long can you maintain it? Your breath has begun to fail. It seems that your body is not strong enough to support you to continue to use this power."

Black mist spread and enveloped the inner guard's body.

"You can't kill me. Before you kill me, you will die in your own hands first. I just need to hold you here." He said, "You shouldn't have held back just now. Every flaw you showed It will kill you, and now you've missed your best chance."
