Longmen Memoirs

"Superintendent Chen is here to see me?"

Tallulah put down the wine glass in her hand, and the soothing piano sound floated under the bright and bright light of the crystal chandelier, but Chen seemed to be unable to hear the noise. All she could see was Tallulah in front of her, and the two-year-old picture in her memory. The face has not changed since before.

Their eyes are the same color, clean and clear red.

"I want to talk to you, do you have time?"

"Talk about what?"

Chen turned his head and glanced at the people dancing in the middle of the dance floor.

"How about changing to another place."

Tallulah hesitated for a second, then stood up under Chen's gaze, and the silver threads on Drake's gorgeous white dress danced.

"……it is good."

Froststar wanted to follow them, but Tallulah stopped her movement.

"No need to follow me, Shuangxing." She looked at Chen as if asking: "Superintendent Chen probably just wants to ask me some questions alone and won't do anything else, right?"

"Correct."

They left the banquet hall, walked into the courtyard behind the mansion, and strolled through the quiet paths in the courtyard at night.

In summer the insects chirp sweetly.

Drake walked a few steps behind Chen, and the gentle white streetlight light cast Chen's shadow slantingly at Drake's feet.

Chen suddenly wished that time could stop here. She suddenly wished that this road would never end.

Until Draco's words rang out.

She always seemed to know what she was thinking.

"You know, even if we keep going, nothing will change."

Draco stopped.

"This courtyard is not very big. Whether you like it or not, the road you are walking on will eventually reach its end."

Chen was forced to stop. Drake's words woke her up from her immersion in fantasy. After all, those were the past, not the present.

Chen slowly turned around, and Draco stood opposite her.

She saw the smile on the corner of Drake's mouth, the night wind lifted her silver hair, and Chen's blue hair also rose.

Gentle light, deep night, the distant mansion is brightly lit, and the small lake in the courtyard is rippling.

"Long time no see, Huijie."

Chen was silent for a while.

"Long time no see, sister."

Tallulah's eyes fell on Chen, and slowly moved down to the scabbard on her waist, which contained a long red sword.

Tallulah remembered what that sword had done.

"You still carry that sword." She said with a smile: "When I saw you, I wanted to ask, did this Chixiao fulfill your dream of being a knight?"

"Food, wine, beautiful scenery, beautiful people and good conversation. Have you got the dream in those weird novels?"

"Hey! Stop talking...!" Chen couldn't help feeling a little ashamed in his heart.

"You're not still looking at those, are you?" Tallulah asked in surprise.

Chen didn't answer, and looked away from Tallulah's surprised gaze in embarrassment.

"Actually, I prefer the stories I heard when I was a child, compared to the things in your novels." Tallulah said, with a little bit of undetectable pride in her words: "You can tell it's just to fool you as soon as you hear it. I can hardly remember the things that life has forced upon me now.”

"I almost forgot about it too," Chen said.

"But you also have a daughter named Xiaomo, right? She is a very cute child. She reminds me of our childhood experiences. If someone told me at that time that your daughter would be named Chen Xiaomo, I would not believe it. .”

"None of us thought that far ahead."

"You're right. We never thought about it. We never thought that it would become like this." Tallulah sighed softly: "This land cannot be repeated. What has happened has happened. , What has not happened will continue to happen, the falling rain soaks the earth, and everything that has died will never come back."

"Are you regretting it now?" Chen asked, staring at Tallulah who said this with complicated eyes.

"I have no regrets, and I will not regret it." Tallulah shook her head gently: "I had many opportunities to choose, but I didn't. Now I have no qualifications to regret anymore."

"I thought you were going to tell the truth."

"Am I not telling the truth?" Tallulah asked.

"Tsk, how come you have such a disgusting personality?"

"Perhaps it's because over time, it's been subtly affected." Tallulah replied: "You came to me just to ask me this question, right?"

"Of course not." Chen said. The hesitation and eagerness in his heart gradually subsided in this calm conversation.

She recalled the unthinking and impulsive words she said to Tallulah out of excessive worry and fear on the night when Xiao Mo was kidnapped.

[Then did he tell you what he had done...did he tell you what actually happened? 】

[As expected, you don’t know anything. As expected, you are still willing to indulge in the beautiful fantasy made up by yourself and him, naively escaping from the reality that you are unwilling to accept. 】

Wei Yanwu said that Chixiao is not an ordinary weapon. You will slowly understand it. Don’t squander its evil energy on daily basis. The dragon-slaying sword should have its value of being unsheathed... It’s up to you who you should draw the sword against. choose.

But Chen pulled out Chi Xiao.

The second time - I faced the wrong person.

【Do you really care about anyone in your heart?Besides yourself, who else will you care about in your cold heart? Don't lie to yourself, Chen Huijie, you don't care about anyone at all, because you are the same as him. 】

[I'm just a poor guy living under someone else's roof. 】

Chen slowly spoke:

"Do you still remember what you told me when I found you two years ago?" Chen asked: "I always remember that you told me two years ago that your enemy is this decaying earth. For the sake of the infected, to break down the high wall between the infected and ordinary people, to eliminate those ugly murders and vicious slavery, you know better than me. Having fought with the infected for so many years, you know better than me, clearly. He knows what he’s doing.”

"Tallulah, sister, I'm so happy that you did what I thought you couldn't do. I should have always believed in you and believed that you could do it. You severely beat those who despised you, laughed at you, and insulted you. , a resounding slap to those who slandered you, including me." Chen said, and then asked: "You have found your own way, and you have lost a lot because of it. Are you still holding on to the original ideal now? Or I ask this , Tallulah standing in front of me now, is she still the leader of the integration movement who stood up for the infected in my memory?"

"Why do you ask?"

"Because I can't tell the difference." Chen's voice deepened: "I have met another Tallulah. My reason tells me that I cannot believe every word she says, but...the words she said remind me I figured out a lot of things that I couldn’t figure out before.”

Chen looked at Tallulah, at the gentle and calm face so close.

"She feels very strange to me, just like I am facing you, but she and you have two completely different personalities. It is better to say they are two opposite people. She wants to take revenge on Longmen. I can see it. She has no hidden hatred of the city."

"I can't understand more and more what happened in Longmen recently." Chen said with a hint of distress, perhaps because Tallulah in front of him was too peaceful, which made her words no longer so tough:

"You, Victoria, Kazdel, and possibly the Ursus people lurking in Longmen. This city has gathered so many forces overnight. Each force makes my clues seem to be unsolved forever. Not even a clue."

"That old guy Wei Yanwu has been keeping calm. My intuition tells me that he is doing something without telling me."

Chen's red eyes looked at Tallulah and gradually became firm.

They looked at each other, and after a long time, Tallulah spoke softly:

"You want to ask me why Tallulah is so familiar to you, right? Hui Jie."

"you know."

"Remember the story I told you?" Tallulah asked: "About the evil old man, about Cosiche."

"Isn't he dead? He was killed by you yourself."

"He is not dead, or in other words, it will not really die." Tallulah replied: "Two years ago, on the snowfield, your Chixiao killed it in my body, but I can feel it. It's still alive, and after seeing that photo, I believed it was still alive, in another way that I didn't know."

"Then what is she, that Tallulah, that you."

"I don't know, Hui Jie, I don't know." Tallulah said uncertainly: "Maybe it's someone whose body has been taken over by Kosiche, or maybe it's someone who was created using a spell that we don't know. The only thing I can be sure of is that, whether it is the former or the latter, she will not easily hurt your daughter, and Kosiche will not easily give up all the people and things she can use. , and if it were me..."

Tallulah said nothing more, but Chen already understood what she wanted to say.

If it were me, I wouldn't hurt her.

"That's why you left Chernobog and came to Longmen." Chen asked.

The truth was beyond her expectation. It was hard to believe, but not unacceptable. At least, everything made sense now.

"No one can help me now, Hui Jie." Tallulah said: "The mistake I made must be settled by myself. Everything it brought to me has been rooted in me. But even though this will be a scar on me forever, everything in the past is over.”

"It once tried to take over my body and soul, but it failed. Now it tries to use the same method to destroy everything I have worked hard to build. I will not allow it to do this, never!"

The Tallulah in front of Chen suddenly became unfamiliar. The unfamiliarity made Chen feel at ease and at ease, as if she had become a beacon, a beacon on the way, and a fire in the dark night.

She was so bright, bright and hot, as if nothing could stop her steps, as if nothing could extinguish the belief in her eyes.

Chen suddenly realized that Tallulah was no longer the little girl who relied on him and cuddled up to each other. Today, she no longer needed anyone's comfort or support.

She herself is the one who leads the way, she herself is the one who stands up and embraces the storm.

But Chen still couldn't help but feel a sense of loss, a sense of loss for no reason.

"You said this was your fault?" Chen asked: "I originally thought it was the old Duke who kidnapped you, but now it seems [$$

Chen asked many questions in one breath, but his voice gradually became lower.

"Tell me, Tallulah, what happened 20 years ago!" Chen asked: "After returning to Longmen, I asked Wei Yanwu why he went to Dayan and became the damn King of Martial. Wei Yanwu finally agreed Tell me, he said that was the fate he was supposed to bear. I always felt that he knew something, but he never told me about it. I also knew that he would not tell. He hid everything from me. They all !”

Chen gritted her teeth and said angrily that she had reason to be angry.

She had a lot of doubts, but it was destined that no one would answer her doubts. Only a few people knew about them. The only thing Chen made wrong was that she never asked Chen Mo.

Maybe he might know, but he won't tell, definitely not.

If Chen hadn't found these clues, no one would have told her these things in her life.

That angry expression fell in Tallulah's eyes. Chen looked a little pitiful now, as if everyone had happily made an appointment to have a dinner after get off work, but everyone pretended to have forgotten. Tell Chen.

It was like brothers who were in the same trench and made an appointment to charge into battle at the same time. But when the cannon sounded, she realized belatedly that the battle had already begun.

She was excluded, she was always excluded, and she was a lucky guy who didn't know anything. But these years, she had been desperately trying to become stronger. She struggled and was embarrassed, but she never gave up.

Just because of what Wei Yanwu said: If it were you, you would be able to do it when you grow up.

But in the end, everyone was lying to her, even herself.

"-Tell me, sister."

Chen wants to know the answer, the answer that everyone has buried.

She can't feel at ease.

She wanted to know if everything she had done over the years had any meaning.

She wanted to know if she, holding Chi Xiao, could control her own destiny.

Chen seemed to finally understand what Wei Yanwu said that she couldn't understand when he handed Chi Xiao over to her.

【It's yours. 】

【I do not need. 】

[Just think of it as something I lent to you. Are you afraid that you will use weapons against me? 】

【right. 】

【I'm not afraid. 】

【why? 】

【Because I am not that afraid of death. 】

Chapter 145 Because none of us can be good people ([-])

Late night at 11:21 in Longmenxiacheng District

"Stop, Miss Chen, you are no match for us."

The rain washed away the Chi Xiao in Chen's hands, overstressing his body, causing Chen's physical strength to begin to overdraw, and he began to feel powerless.

The high wall composed of people in black in front of him looked so solid that Chen couldn't find any opportunity to take advantage of it.

Chi Xiao became more and more dull, no longer as sharp as before.

Fragmented memories revived in my mind.
