Longmen Memoirs

"Okay, but I have a condition, I can't hurt her."

"I can't guarantee that."

"Then let's solve the problem between us first." Ceria raised her eyebrows, the flames illuminated the side of her face, and heat waves rolled around her.

"I can try."

Chen Mo changed his tune.

Chapter 22 Fire Demon Hell

"So how are you planning to suppress... this child in the first place?"

Access to the Rheinland Life Underground Research Facility.

After the explosion of the superstructure, the underground of the Rheinland Life Institute connected to the hollow part of the mobile city. The roar of water can be heard, echoing from the depths of the dark corridor, which is the branch of the city's internal water circulation system.

The time is two hours and 28 minutes after the mission started.

The light of the emergency flashlight on my shoulder was not bright in the darkness.

After the battle and the continuous explosions, they fell from the underground facility to this place, leaning against the dusty and rusty wire pipes and cement walls underground for a brief repair.

Under the light, the blond girl lay quietly in Vaifan's arms. There were some obvious burn marks on her exposed right hand holding the girl.

Seria did not answer, but looked at Chen Mo warily.

"Which organization are you from?"

"Many organizations have sent people here, and I am just one of them. There is no point in telling you. Ms. Seraya, you should know that we are not affiliated with any organization now." Chen Mo said, untying the tactics on his waist Bag, took out emergency medicine and injections from it, Ceria stared at the syringe in her hand.

"Your injury needs to be treated, otherwise there is a risk of infection."

She suddenly reached out and held Chen Mo's wrist.

"I don't need it." The voice was cold.

"Okay." Chen Mo inserted the injection into his wrist with his backhand, slowly pushed it in, and then threw the used injection on the ground: "You are very wary."

"I don't think this is a bad thing." Ceria replied coldly.

"Change the topic. Where are we now?" Chen Mo asked.

"The underground of the institute may be the passage left by the previous mobile city construction, I don't know."

"I thought that as the security director, you would be in control of your affairs."

Chen Mo's words were somewhat sarcastic.

"Ha, the premise is that you don't know what they want you to know." Ceria replied, and then asked: "What is your purpose?"

"My goal is the child in your arms." Chen Mo said: "But now it seems that you have been prepared for a long time. This is a trap, right? What is your purpose?"

"If you are talking about this child." She lowered her gaze and looked at the girl in her arms: "I don't know the plans of the upper Rhine authorities. They covered up the truth, but the experiment on this child has failed. In fact, I can I sensed that the higher-ups had given up on this plan because I saw military personnel coming and going not long ago. Your matter may just be a deal between the higher-ups and the military."

"So we were sold to the Federation by the Rhine."

"To be precise, the organization behind you was sold to the military." Seria said with a sneer: "It's your own fault."

"Why are you telling me this?" Chen Mo asked.

"I'm not going to stay in Rhine anymore." She said, "So it doesn't matter if you tell you this. If you want to retaliate against Rhine, I'm happy for you to do so, because I've long seen them unhappy."

"What you said is really interesting." The emergency light on his shoulder flashed twice, and Chen Mo leaned against the gray wall. The light was dim, and what he saw was a rich darkness.

"Do you think after this is over, there are still people who want to take revenge on the Rhine, no, or the Federation." Chen Mo said: "How many activities in Colombia are related to the Federation, they will not do this, this is just a warning given to them by the Federation That’s all.”

"You're not stupid."

"I was just lucky enough to survive." Chen Mo turned his head and looked at the child in Seria's arms: "My mission has failed, and even if it hadn't failed, I wouldn't have been able to carry it with you. When that child goes back, she is now a nuisance. My organization is definitely eager to cut ties with her, so now there is no longer the biggest conflict between us. The remaining conflict is the relationship between you and Rhine Life. It’s not that close.”

"so……"

"So I think there is no need to settle the account between us, how about it?" Chen Mo asked. He stood up and stretched out his hand: "You can't move now, right? The overuse of spells, and the ankle that was pinched just now." At that time, I didn’t see that kind of white light.”

Chen Mo looked at her left leg that was curled closer to the inside. Seria raised her head and looked at him.

A few minutes later, Chen Mo was carrying Seria on his back and walking deep in the dark corridor. Her heavy knife was in Seria's hand. Seria had one hand around Chen Mo's neck and one hand holding Chen Mo's hand. With a heavy knife, her slender legs were clamped around Chen Mo's waist. Her figure was already tall and tall from Colombia. Chen Mo held the child in his arms.

They walked in the abandoned passages left by the construction of mobile cities in the past, their footsteps heavy and slow.

The air was mixed with the heavy musty smell of darkness and the faint smell of burning fire.

"Since you know my situation, why don't you take action? Your situation is much better than mine." Ceria's voice sounded softly from behind.

Chen Mo's footsteps did not stop.

"What happens after taking action?" Chen Mo asked: "Although my situation is better than yours, I am not ready to fight you desperately because I am not sure how much strength you still have. Besides, I made it very clear, There is no more [&@ between us

"But you can leave me there. There is no need to take us away together. For safety reasons, I would do that if it were me."

"Yeah, and then I watched you, who was lame, holding an unconscious child, stumbling and groping away in the dark." Chen Mo replied calmly.

"Are you sorry?"

"How is that possible?" Chen Mo said, stepping up the old steel ladder and stopping in front of the dusty engineering diagram.

"Help me."

Ceria reached out to wipe away the dust on it, then picked up the light on Chen Mo's shoulder and illuminated the diagram.

"Go left," she said.

Chen Mo turned around and walked to the left, continuing what he had just said.

"Since people like me have chosen this career, I naturally won't have the emotions you mentioned. I know it very well."

"What's the reason for that?"

"She should be very important to you, Ms. Seria." Chen Mo asked back: "I can see your reaction to this child, so I think you should have noticed it."

Seria was silent for a moment.

"You mean the changes on your body just now, those scales, yes, I noticed it." Ceria replied calmly. "what are they?"

"A talent, a structure, something paradoxical. In fact, I don't know what it is. I remember that many years ago, I had the same experience with this child."

Chen Mo's eyes were on the face of the sleeping man in his arms, sleeping very quietly, as if nothing had happened.

However, in her body, there was a fire that Chen Mo could not feel, a blazing fire.

"She and I are the same kind of person. At that time, there were people who took the same reagent and injected the Source Stone into our bodies, trying to transform us into another kind of people, trying to combine the Source Stone with life. Sakaz had The adaptability of Originium is far beyond that of ordinary people, but we are not capable of it, so we have gone through a long period of preparation for this.”

Ceria's hand holding the heavy knife paused.

"Are you infected?"

"I am an infected person, and not just an infected person." Chen Mo said: "My experiment failed, but I survived. Originally, my body was to be transported to a research facility to continue the experiment, but it failed midway. I was thrown down for some reason."

Chen Mo stopped and could hear the sound of water flowing more and more clearly in his ears.

He walked towards the direction of the water flow, and soon a huge water transfer facility appeared in front of Chen Mo.

"Looks like we found a way out."

Chen Mo stopped and continued walking along the underground passage.

Ceria stopped talking.

After more than ten minutes, she spoke.

"I take back what I said before. You really can't believe a word you say." She said, "You should know what I want to ask?"

"I know, but I can't give you an accurate answer because my situation is different from this child's."

"In that case, why do you still bring up this topic deliberately?" Ceria asked. Chen Mo reached out and pushed open the rusty iron door, and a harsh friction sound was heard.

"Don't you think it would be embarrassing for us to be in this situation if we don't say something?" Chen Mo asked back. He lowered his gaze and looked at Seria's legs clamped around his waist, and looked up at the long ladder.

They stopped.

"I can only take you up one by one." Chen Mo said. Seria put down the heavy knife, got down from behind Chen Mo, and took the unconscious child in Chen Mo's arms.

The two fell into silence. Ceria looked at Chen Mo, and Chen Mo looked at her.

Finally Seria made a decision.

"Take her up first."

"You're not afraid to take her away directly." Chen Mo said. He and Seria were still wary of each other. The word "trust" is very important to two people who can't tell whether they are friends or foes when they meet for the first time. Extravagant words.

"Isn't this the purpose of what you said just now?" Ceria asked.

Chen Mo didn't say anything. He led the girl up the long ladder. Seria was left alone in the darkness below. She raised her head, and the light source continued to go up, and finally slowly disappeared.

After a few minutes, the light source reappeared, coming downwards.

She couldn't explain what she felt, but when she saw the light in the darkness, Ceria suddenly felt a little relieved, and an inexplicable emotion flashed through her orange pupils.

Chen Mo reappeared in front of Seria.

"We meet again, Ms. Seria."

"Yeah, I thought you had run away."

"I thought about it, I can't leave you here alone." Chen Mo said, turned around and squatted down, "Come on, you're welcome."

"That's stupid." Ceria sneered coldly, lying behind Chen Mo, hugging his neck, and her slender legs maintained the same posture as before.

"What's the child's name?" Chen Mo grabbed the rusty steel ladder and climbed up.

"Ifrit." Ceria's voice sounded from behind: "Where's your name?"

"Is this a temptation?"

"You don't have to answer either."

"...Snake, my code name, or Chen Mo."

"What you just said, are you still unfinished?" Ceria asked again.

Chen Mo paused.

"You're not afraid that I'm lying to you."

"If you mean a few minutes ago, I did have this consideration." Ceria replied, and then asked: "What's the purpose?"

"I heard you said you wanted to leave Rhine Life." Chen Mo said, "What are your plans?"

"What does it have to do with my plan?"

"If you haven't thought about it, how about helping me temporarily?" Chen Mo said: "I can't guarantee that I can give you the same treatment as your current job, but what I can guarantee is that I will not stop you from making a decision. "

"what can you give me?"

"As long as I can give it."

"for example?"

"For example, about the child's condition." Chen Mo said: "I do have something that I haven't told you. In fact, I have some contact with Kazdel. I also know someone who is top-notch in the field of Originium research and medical treatment. A doctor, she is studying the topic of how to cure Originium Disease, and has made some progress."

"If you want to move me, these alone are not enough, and I can't tell whether what you say is true or false."

"But you really haven't thought about where you should go now, have you?" Chen Mo asked: "Given the child's condition, it is impossible for you to take her away with you. If I am not wrong, you left Laiying Life to seek to cure her. method, but we all know that Originium Disease is an incurable disease, especially with her severity."

"To take a step back, Ms. Seria, even if Rhine Life is willing to let you take her away in the future, can you afford the price? How can you ensure that there are other places that can afford the cost of continuing to seek a cure for Originium Disease? cost and a willingness to accommodate infected people rather than exploit them.”

"But I can, Ms. Seria, because I am also an infected person, and most of Sarkaz suffers from Originium Disease." Chen Mo said: "If you are willing to come, you may have enough rights to do what you want in the future. Decisions I want to make.”

"Let me summarize what you mean, so the organization you are talking about does not exist now, right?" Ceria asked.

Chen Mo paused.

"Aren't we discussing?" Chen Mo asked. "Otherwise, which organization can give you such a guarantee?"

"…Don't tell me you're thinking about it now."

"Of course not, I thought about it half an hour ago."

Chen Mo suddenly felt that Seria's hand wrapped around his neck became much harder.

She was probably angry and felt that Chen Mo was playing tricks on her.
