Longmen Memoirs

Ordinary people are perfect for judging people like me.

Thinking about it now, Chen Mo himself found it funny. What kind of dignity could a homeless person like him have? He no longer had to worry about three meals a day, and the pitiful self-esteem he still clung to could be restored to him. What?

Just for that so-called persistence, that worthless agreement.

Those are all tricks to deceive the little devil, just listen to them.

He used the same method to deceive himself and told himself this countless times, but in his heart he knew better than anyone else, that it meant nothing.

But apart from that, what else can he have left?

From the day he came into this world, from the day the fire took away everything he knew, he had nothing left.

He doesn't work hard enough or is determined enough.

Doing nothing is destined to accomplish nothing.

Between the confused look around after the fire, the dependence on each other with the fox, and the childish calculations in the orphanage, the city of Longmen should have been unfamiliar to Chen Mo since he was six years old.

It's just that he is too greedy and wants too much.

Perhaps Chen Mo can do better, because he has a more mature soul than anyone else, which makes him naturally one step further than others, making him inherently more advantageous than others.

But he failed to take advantage of this.

In the first half of Chen Mo's chaotic life, most of the results were caused by asking for trouble and self-righteousness. He could not deny that everything he did was ultimately caused by himself, and he was willing to accept such bitter consequences.

Naturally, I will never regret it.

In fact, Chen Mo understood that on the rainy night when Wei Yanwu asked him to make a choice, he understood that he had had such an opportunity to regret and start over. Moreover, after arriving at Black Steel, he had also had countless opportunities to start over.

Chen Mo thought that at that time, he would be able to make good use of his meager talent. Maybe one day, if he was lucky enough, although he was not confident that he would be able to stand at the same height as Wei Yanwu, he would at least be able to look up to him.

At that time, he could probably hold his life in his hands and become the kind of person he wanted to be, even if he didn't know where his future would lead at the time.

But there are never what-ifs or do-overs in this world, maybe... There have been people who have started over, but among those who choose to start over, Chen Mo thinks that no one will forget their past. The so-called forgetting is just being forgotten by new things. Just replace it.

Like that box buried in the soil.

Year after year, it replaces that person and is buried under the tombstone forever. No one will remember their former appearance.

Chen Mo couldn't find the key hidden under the iron door. When he pushed the rusty iron door open, light rain finally began to fall in the gloomy sky.

Light rain fell one after another along the narrow sky above the alley.

After a while, the rain became heavier.

The first floor was dark. In the past, he and Foxhound had freed up the tables and chairs downstairs to park her modified car. There were always some weird things stuffed in the trunk of Foxhound's car, mostly weapons, and sometimes It will also be a grill. At this time, there is a red motorcycle parked on the first floor. The dim light outside cannot find such a deep place.

Warm lights can be seen on the stairs leading to the second floor.

Someone has been waiting above for a long time.

Chen Mo never thought that he would see the Sakaz in front of him again in this place and on this occasion.

For a moment the thought of leaving crossed his mind.

But that Sakaz knew him too well, and he also knew that Sakaz too well. Her red eyes stared quietly in Chen Mo's direction, with no yearning, no surprise, and no hatred. There was only one kind that Chen Mo had rarely seen. The quietness.

It was as if time had frozen at that moment, and she slightly lost her eyes.

Chen Mo could understand what she was saying to him, so the corners of her raised mouth turned into a sarcastic arc, as if she was mocking his own weakness and cowardice.

There must be something wrong with her smile, but I have become accustomed to her smile. Instead, she is quiet, which makes me strange and hesitant, because the day she was quiet foreshadowed the anger of renunciation in her heart.

For a long time, Chen Mo had been thinking about her relationship with him, but could not find a qualified position, and she was always changeable.

They are comrades-in-arms and colleagues, and they are inevitably hostile to each other. She has a big prejudice against herself, which Chen Mo knows very well. Chen Mo doesn't care about her prejudice, so that her unreasonable making things difficult just makes people feel unreasonable. , can't understand, but she regards this as the most important thing.

If Chen Mo died one day, she would probably be the happiest one. She would be too happy to sleep, and would rush to his grave to lay incense sticks for him, and put a few bombs to cheer him up.

They sat on the sofa facing the stairs. When they came up from the stairs, they could just see Sakaz sitting in front of Chen Mo's left and the fox on her right.

In this place, except for the tattered signboard that is still called "teahouse" that has not yet been taken down, there is no place that reminds people of these two words.

The calm expression on the fox's face made Chen Mo instantly understand that this was a premeditated conspiracy. His feet stopped on the last step of the stairs, unable to move any further.

Chen Mo saw the familiar key that Fox placed on the table. There was a strong smile in her eyes. Almost instantly, Chen Mo thought of something, but this association inevitably gave him a headache.

This time, Chen's work would probably be in vain, and Chen Mo had a deep feeling that he might run into a lot of trouble.

Now Chen Mo wanted to grab the foxhound's ears and ask her what kind of plane she wanted to get.

However, the fox pretended to be surprised and raised his hand to Chen Mo.

"Here? Let me introduce to you. This is Ms. W, the investigative officer of Kazdale in this joint case. She is responsible for tracking the suspect in this case. She first entered the dragon gate with the investigation team, and according to w The lady said that she has obtained some reliable information."

Fox said and blinked at Chen Mo, the expression on his face was very artificial.

"This is the deputy leader of our action team..." Foxhound paused as he said, "Team leader Chen Mo, please rest assured, Miss W, team leader Chen Mo is the most experienced person in our action team and has a very reliable Personal combat and command capabilities.”

Chen Mo had to admire the fox's ability to tell lies with his eyes open. The fox's pointed words inevitably made Chen Mo think that she might be thinking about how to try to sell him out. Facts have proved that Chen Mo's idea was not wrong.

"Team leader Chen Mo?" Fox's voice became louder.

Chen Mo, who was thinking about the fox's conspiracy, came back to his senses and saw the fox winking at him.

"what?"

I knew that it was not that simple that Wei Yanwu would come to me personally.

"Officer Su, speaking of which, the name of Mr. Chen Mo is very similar to a person I knew before, also named Chen Mo." W glanced carefully at Chen Mo standing at the stairs: "It seems that the appearance and figure are somewhat similar. .”

"What a coincidence, one of Miss W's friends is also named Chen Mo?" The fox looked a little surprised.

"Friend?" W raised a slightly malicious smile at the corner of his mouth: "Yes, friend, it's a pity that my friend died a little early."

"There is no resurrection after death, Miss W."

"It's a pity that he didn't die in my hands."

As soon as W's words changed, Fox subconsciously turned her head to look at Chen Mo, and then quickly looked away. Chen Mo knew that Fox's play could not continue. She probably wanted to ask now what exactly you did.

"What do you think?" The smile at the corner of W's mouth suddenly calmed down, and he just looked at Chen Mo who was standing at the top of the stairs: "Dogs... trash... scraps."

Chen Mo didn't know when he heard this embarrassing name from her mouth. The malice she had towards him started from the first day he met her. Chen Mo could often express his feelings when he was with His Highness. Found her sneaking around the corner.

His Highness once told Chen Mo that W was a very interesting child, interesting, but Chen Mo didn't think so.

Just like most people who admire His Highness, everyone who knows His Highness is spontaneously willing to protect her, especially the Sakaz people. Most of them are worried about an outsider like Chen Mo staying by His Highness's side. In theory, perhaps it is an outsider like Chen Mo, a person who is not a Sakaz, who has the best reason to guard Theresia.

Chen Mo slowly accepted her title.

It was a response to the wrong she had committed, even though it was caused by her, and Chen Mo was the real victim. In fact, most Sakaz people or casual mercenaries like Chen Mo didn't care. Similar to physical contact, her usual behavior seemed to pretend that she didn't care about anything, even her life.

They all thought about living one day at a time, and they all thought about risking their lives to survive, provided they had a chance to survive.

Chapter 72 is ironic

We have to fight to survive, how ironic.

Biological instinct drives us to avoid death. We live. In order to live, we learn to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and become selfish and ruthless in order to live.

Some people say that you can't change the world and the stereotypes that span people's minds.

Some people say that faith is worthless. It is a dream that fools deceive themselves and others and indulge in fantasy.

They are right.

I have to admit that I yearn for and even respect those who continue to climb and stick to their true intentions in the face of adversity. I extremely long to be one of them. When my conscience condemns me, this feeling will become It's so true. I can't deny my admiration for those beautiful, fearless, and tenacious souls, but I can never be one of those people.

I have longed for beauty, and I have tried to reach out to touch it and hold it in my arms.

But later, this emotion gradually faded away in the secular world, just like my name, Snake, cannot do without the warmth of the sun, but it can never retain that warmth.

I can only keep wandering between the cold and the sunshine, trying my best not to forget the last trace of kindness in my heart before my blood turns cold.

Cannibalistic goodness.

----------

Later, the fox mentioned today's incident to Chen Mo. Chen Mo was very happy that this time she didn't try to use her superb lies to perfunctory him.

But he found that he could no longer tell how much of the words coming out of the fox's mouth were true and how false. This depended on how deeply he could trust the fox.

Trust never really seemed to exist between them.

"Dogs... offal... scraps..."

The deep and undisguised malice in W's words left Chen Mo nowhere to escape. She had never learned how to do it, and she didn't even bother to hide her disgust and hatred for Chen Mo.

Chen Mo breathed a sigh of relief. Maybe at this time, he should say "Long time no see." Indeed, she and he had not seen each other for a long time. Chen Mo had never seen this animal again since he left the chaos and royal court of Kazdale. Weird Sakaz.

Chen Mo stepped up the steps and stood opposite her, glancing at the strange gun she was leaning on the sofa.

"Why did you come here?"

Chen Mo tried his best to keep his voice calm.

In fact, he had guessed W's purpose of coming here without asking. The few words Fox and Wei Yanwu told Chen Mo were enough for him to deduce the so-called "truth", but everything would always become confusing when it came to the woman in front of him.

"Why... you're not welcome to me? That's right. Who would have thought that one day I would meet you here? After being caught escaping back to the kennel with your tail between your legs, even you would feel blushing." She said with a kind of understanding. He said in a tone of voice, as if he thought of something, he covered his mouth gently: "Oh, I'm sorry, I seem to have forgotten, you are a shameless guy to begin with."

The atmosphere was not tense. After she said these targeted and sarcastic words, Chen Mo suddenly lost the idea of ​​continuing to ask questions.

Chen Mo walked to the sofa opposite her familiarly and sat down, looking at the fox questioningly, waiting for her to explain to him.

But the fox remained silent, as if he subconsciously ignored Chen Mo's eyes. Instead, his eyes full of interest and exploration kept wandering between the two of them, as if watching the fun.

"Don't say anything?"

Chen Mo couldn't help but speak.

"It's still the same as before. Even if you want to say something, you have to pretend to be someone else's mouth."

Chen Mo ignored W's taunt.

"What about that? You two, if you two want to reminisce about the past, there will be more time for you two to reminisce about the past after the official business is finished." The fox coughed slightly: "Now let's talk about the official business first. , Miss W?”

He even ignored Chen Mo's attitude.

W did not continue to pester, which made Chen Mo feel slightly relieved, but Chen Mo could still turn a blind eye to whether she was sarcastic in her words.

After all, if you want to be in the same room with such a sinister and eccentric guy, you have to have a bad attitude.

"In other words, Miss W has determined the hiding location of the group, but in order to avoid any unexpected situations, we need someone to lurk in, preferably someone with strong individual combat capabilities, to accurately find the specific location of the device. , and control it before people from the Guards Bureau arrive."

Chen Mo was quiet.

He looked at the fox's pretended serious face and the deliberate gaze opposite Sakaz.

"Why don't you go to the inspection team?" Chen Mo asked. "Do the people in the inspection team know about this?"

"I don't know for the time being." Fox stood up and replied: "Considering that the inspection team would move too much if they acted with us, for the sake of safety, this operation will bypass the inspection team and the Guards Bureau."

Chen Mo's face was reflected in her orange eyes, and raindrops began to hit the yellowed glass outside the old barred window behind her.

"did you mean?"

Chen Mo did not doubt the secret of Fox's choice to bypass the inspection team and the Guards Bureau.

"What do you think?" The fox glanced at him. "Chief Wei hopes to end this case cleanly and confidentially as soon as possible. The intervention of the inspection team has too great a goal and impact."

"I know, so the inspection team is completely a cover for you."

"It can't be said that it's all a cover. They can make the best progress, and we can't count on them." The fox clicked on the table: "The people of the tracing team agreed to this secret operation, and they also don't want to kill everyone. It is known that the current action plan of the inspection team makes them reluctant to cooperate with the people of the inspection team.”

"I heard that the Guards Bureau took action yesterday."

"But there is no result. You know, if they really made progress, Longmen would not be so peaceful today."

Chen Mo found that he could not deny what the fox hound said. He even thought of what the fox told him last night to scare the snake. It seemed that there was more than one snake.

"Who is the conductor? You?"

"The action team is responsible for responding. If we encounter an emergency, we will rush to the scene as soon as possible. However, early support may take a while. If the other party detects it during this period, you can only rely on yourself."

"Can I say no?"

"It's theoretically possible."

"That means it's not possible anymore." Chen Mo nodded: "I have one last question."
