2 Human Encounters Chapter 182 Memory
After shaking his head for a long time, Chen Ming said at a loss, "Miss's confession caught me off guard, but I don't understand, what does Miss mean by being unrecognizable?"
"It doesn't matter. ”
Shaking his head as he asked, Luo Xi looked away and said, "I can wait, I'll ......"
"Miss Luo Xi. ”
Chen Ming was irritable in his heart, and frowned, "I don't know who you mistake me for, but I'm not him, and I ask Miss Luo Xi not to say anything more." ”
Luo Xi said, "Sir, why bother with who I think Mr. is?
Chen Ming was silent, and for a moment, he didn't dare to answer her question knowingly, "Maybe I shouldn't be in your world." ”
"Yes. ”
Luo Xi nodded and said, "Who should be damned, unwilling to leave your world?"
She whispered, "You have always made me forget the past, but it is this past that makes me feel worth cherishing, do you even want to deprive me of the right to remember?"
“......”
Speechless, Chen Ming could only look away, look at the scenes on the big screen, which made him feel a little boring, and no longer speak.
A movie, two hours, they walked out of the theater.
Stretching his waist, Luo Xi smiled, "Thank you, sir, for accompanying me here to watch a movie today." ”
"The time with the young lady is always so beautiful but short. ”
Chen Ming smiled, "It's just Miss Luo Xi, please forgive me for not being able to accompany you anymore in the future, I'm afraid that I will leave with reluctance." ”
Luo Xi was stunned, pointed to the nostalgic theater behind him, and said, "Sir, do you know why, I just said that this is the last time I came here to watch a movie?"
Chen Ming frowned, "Why?"
"In 10 days, the cinema will be closing. ”
Luo Xi walked slowly and said in a low voice, "I really want to keep the past by my side, but the past always has to leave, I was thinking, even if it is just a little afterimage, memory, as long as it can be left, then it is not considered to be leaving, even if you will be reluctant to leave, but what about the me who was left? Even the memory of you, you are not willing to leave it for me?"
"Movies can end in tragedy, but life is not determined before death, why did Mr. let me finish it so early?"
Luo Xi never looked back, this smart, strong woman knew that she could no longer change his mind, just like Chen Ming knew that what he was separated from her was not a person or a thing, but a world, a world that she couldn't reach with kindness.
Chen Ming turned around and left, when the movie ended, and when people were separated, they knew that what they left to each other would be only memories.
"There's nothing wrong with that. ”
He said with tears streaming down his face.
The bar in Gangnam City, called "Dream House", ended 10 days after the owner came out of the hospital, and the word "transfer of this store" was finally plastered on the grounds that the owner passed away.
There is no funeral ceremony, no relatives and friends crying, this young man named Liu Yuan just disappeared into this impersonal world, only in the cemetery in the western suburbs, after a lapse of more than 20 years, there is a new grave, no one knows, who set up a monument for him, or perhaps, no one will care......
In the lower right corner of the tombstone, there is a passage that says,
"Everyone has their own piece of forest, maybe we've never been there, but it's always been there, and it will always be there. Those who are lost are lost, and those who meet will meet again. ”
It is an excerpt from the novel "Norwegian Wood", from the novel written by Haruki Murakami, the author of the Far East.
Perhaps, it is the person who built this tombstone and has some kind of hope for the future...... Who knows?
......
Those who are determined to leave are always more open than those who stay, and that is not necessarily the case.
Morningstar Nightclub, Tricia sitting in the living room looked at the locked room at the corner of the hallway, her eyes filled with a faint sadness.
"Is Chenming okay?"
Across from her, Nasha frowned and asked, "He's locked himself in his room for three days!, and still won't come out?"
"Can you stop asking...... all the time?"
Perhaps because of her irritable mood, Theresia said slightly angrily, "Have you done everything I gave you?"
"Uh...... I'll be right away!"
Shrinking her neck, Nasha immediately got up, turned and left.
Looking at the back of her leaving, Theresia shook her head helplessly, and set her eyes on the closed room again, "Only you can let go of yourself, I won't, and I can't make a choice for you......"
For seven days, the young man who was rumored to have died had never left the room for even half a step, and even the environment full of charm and desire at night could not disturb him.
The nostalgic cinema in the old city did not escape the fate of closing its doors in the end, and the old things that were out of touch with the times, in the drastic changes of the years, left people with only shallow memories that were often left behind.
"Crunch. ”
The door, which had been closed for ten days, finally opened, and a pale young man walked out.
"Are you feeling better?"
Looking at the face in front of her, which was countless times better than ten days ago, Theresia stood up and greeted her, "How do you feel?
The young man smiled slightly and said, "It's much better, thank you for providing me with a place to live, if it weren't for that, I'm afraid I'd be sleeping on the streets." ”
"If you can joke, it means that you are fine. ”
The two of them walked to the sofa and sat down, and Theresia smiled, "If you don't come out again, I'm going to break in." ”
"I'm sorry to worry you. ”
Tatsunato smiled apologetically, and then asked, "How is Maya's body?"
"She's getting better. ”
Theresia said, "Although the magic of light has caused her great damage, the unique and strong vitality belonging to the hydra has made her recover quickly, and it is estimated that she will be able to wake up in two days." ”
"It's all because of that damn Haemze, I'm going to make him pay. ”
A hint of violence flashed in his eyes, and Chen Ming asked, "In the past few days, has there been any movement on the angel's side?"
"Nope. ”
Theresia shook her head and said, "Since you came back from Xiling, I have been asking Nasha and her to keep a close eye on every move of the church, including the puppet of the succubus in the Cathedral of Redinia, everything is not much different from usual, but the strange thing is that from the information collected, Jameze has not returned to Redinia, and even several other churches in the city have no trace of him. ”
"Are you hiding......
Chen Ming frowned, and asked again, "Then the angel named Chloe, do you have any information about her?"
"The origin of this female angel is countless times more difficult to find than Hameze. ”
Theresia smiled bitterly, "I've looked through all the information and records about angels for ten years, but I haven't found any information about her, and her existence seems to have been deliberately erased. ”
"It doesn't matter if you can't find it. ”
Chen Ming frowned, and stretched out again, "My main target is not her, in the next time, you just need to help me keep an eye on Hai Meze." ”
"That's fine. ”
Theresia smiled, "The other thing is that your identity needs to be changed. ”
"Forehead ......"
Chen Ming was stunned, and then remembered that he was now a "dead man", and he smiled bitterly, "This is a bit troublesome......"
"Actually, it's not much of a problem. ”
Theresia said, "You haven't been in the world for long, and the circle you have come into contact with is not large, it is relatively easy to change your identity, this city is very large, as long as you pay attention, the probability of encountering this body can still be controlled to a minimum." ”
"That's good. ”
Chen Ming breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You are more familiar with these things than I am about walking in the world, so I have to ask you about the new identity." ”
"I've been ready for you a long time ago. ”
Theresia smiled and took out a folder from the magic ring and placed it in front of Chenming, " On the day you first came to the Morning Star, I had already started to prepare your new identity, just in case, and you also need to pay attention to this, whether it is an angel or a demon, you must prepare a backup identity in advance before coming to the human world, once the previous identity can no longer be used, you need to immediately cut into another identity, otherwise, you can only temporarily disappear from the sight of humans until they completely forget about you. ”
"An Mi repairs this pit ......"
Helplessly scolding, Chen Ming said gratefully, "I've been taught." ”
"Actually, many demons don't care if they need a new identity. ”
Theresia smiled and shook her head, "It's the easiest thing to hide yourself in front of humans, they just need to be careful not to expose themselves to the eyes of angels, but we succubi are different, it is our duty to contact people, and multiple identities are also necessary." ”
"So ......"
Chen Ming teased, "As a succubus princess, you also need to have contact with other people?"
"What do you mean by that?"
When Tricia heard this, she suddenly seemed to have lit a powder keg, her face was instantly filled with anger, and she got up and slapped Chen Ming down, "You can dislike me, but please don't insult me!" After speaking, she left angrily.
"Forehead ......"
Stroking his aching cheeks, Chen Ming got up with a stunned look on his face and muttered, "Did I say something wrong?"
After a while, he finally figured it out, and suddenly couldn't laugh or cry, "This misunderstanding is a bit big......
"I'll apologize to her later. ”
However, in the next few days, Chen Ming had a good experience of offending a woman.
The original warm and fragrant warm bed is gone, and the various daily specialties are gone, replaced by the hostility and white eyes from the succubi.
What made Chen Ming even more speechless was that he had always wanted to find a chance to apologize to Theresia, but every time he saw her, he was cleverly obstructed by other succubi, even if he had the opportunity to be alone, this resentful woman always kept a straight face and did not give him any chance to apologize.
In this way, the embarrassing days passed day by day, and the "disheartened" Chenming no longer demanded an apology and began to shift his attention to other things.
In the living room on the second floor, Chen Ming sat on the sofa with a middle-aged man, and was silent for a long time before he asked, "Li Chao, do you have anything to do with me?"
Compared with the previous few meetings, the man named Li Chao's face was much haggard, and Chen Ming also found that in his body, the demon who had signed a contract with him, his aura became very weak, as if he had been greatly injured.
Holding a glass of warm water tremblingly, Li Chao prayed, "Venerable Demon Lord, please save our Magic Society......
"Save the Magic Society?"
Chen Ming frowned, stared at him, and said, "Is something going on?" ”
"Here's the thing. ”
After taking a sip of water, Li Chao tried to calm his emotions and said, "Two days ago, for some reason, our magic association was attacked by those holy churches, many strongholds were uprooted by them, our companions were also imprisoned by them, and what is even more hateful is that your kind, those demons who signed a contract with us, were all burned by them with divine flames! Even Lord Vivan in my body was greatly harmed......
"Holy Church?"
Hearing this, Chen Ming's heart suddenly struck, "How could they attack you for no reason? You didn't do anything against the rules, did you?"
"Not at all!"
Li Chao hurriedly shook his head and said, "Our magician clan has been hiding in the shadows since ancient times, and we have never dared to expose ourselves outside, unless there is any major incident, we have always lived as ordinary people, compared with the orthodox church, without a government background, without the support of high-level demons, we have always been like rats crossing the street, it is extremely difficult to protect ourselves, let alone expose ourselves." ”
"You're hiding it so well, how can you be discovered?"
Chen Ming pondered for a moment and asked, "Have you found any other beings mixed in the church?"
"Even if there were, with their lowly magic, how could they find out?"
Before Li Chao could speak, Theresia's cold voice came from not far away.
"Finally willing to talk to me?"
Seeing that beautiful woman speak, Chen Ming also breathed a sigh of relief, got up and said, "Theresia, ...... before"
"I'll talk about that later. ”
Before he could finish speaking, Theresia interrupted, "Let's talk about the Magic Society first." ”
"Who is this......?"
Looking at the woman who came over and sat beside Chen Ming, Li Chao's gaze began to look strange, and even his breathing became a little short.
"Don't want your life?"
Chen Ming's face turned indifferent, and the bloodthirsty aura made Li Chao's originally flushed face instantly white, and blood flowed out of his eyes uncontrollably.
He knelt on the ground in a panic, bowed his head and did not dare to look at it again, "My lord's life......!
It's just that the next moment, Li Chao woke up instantly, he found that he was still sitting in place, touched his face, there was no blood flowing, and when he looked at Theresia again, he only saw a terrifying ghost face, which frightened him almost fainted.
"Next time, I'll imprison your soul forever. ”
Chen Ming snorted coldly, and then looked at Theresia, who glanced at the cheeks full of righteous indignation, and the corners of his mouth moved involuntarily, but quickly straightened his face and said, "This attack is probably from the command of the angels." ”
"Sure enough......"
With the answer in his heart, Chen Ming asked, "Do you know their purpose?"
"It's still under investigation. ”
Theresia said, "But judging from the current scale, I think the person behind this matter should be Jame Ze or Chloe, of course, it is not ruled out that other high-level angels have descended here." ”
"Can you guess what their purpose is?"
Chen Ming asked, "Even if these magicians are of a low level, they are extremely difficult to find in the places they are distributed, and it will take a lot of effort to find them. ”
"Witch hunting. ”
Theresia's red lips opened slightly, and she said, "You're from here, I don't think you're familiar with this word, right?"
"You mean, the massacre of witches that took place hundreds of years ago in those countries of Western Europe?"
Chen Ming frowned and said, "But does that have anything to do with the current matter?"
"Hundreds of years ago, witches were prevalent in some countries of Western Europe, and at some point, their power even surpassed that of the state-sponsored Holy See. ”
Theresia's face was flat, and she spoke eloquently, " Angels and demons descend to the world, usually to obtain the faith of the world, enhance their magic power, witches with the help of demon power at the same time, will also sacrifice their lives, souls to demons, the power of demons, obviously not heaven is willing to see, so, the gods sent oracles to the Holy See in the world, let them hunt witches, reduce the believers of hell, witch hunting, broke out, after decades of crusade, the witch who did not get people's support finally lost to the Holy See, although not to be destroyed, but also unable to set off any waves, in this regard, the demon kings of hell have no way, because peace is always more than warIt is only in times of chaos that they are able to gather believers in a big way, and the balance of faith will always be tilted on the side of justice. ”
"So you mean to say that the fall of the Jiangnan Underground Society this time is also because of an oracle sent down by a certain god?"
Chen Ming's eyes were solemn and he said, "If that's the case, then this is not something we can solve." ”
"If it's a god, then it's not just this small Jiangnan City that will be affected. ”
Theresia said flatly, "I think it should just be a massacre launched by an angel who can't satisfy his inner desires." ”
