Chapter Eighty-Eight: Aging (5)
As he spoke, the man took a step out, revealing his face from the shadows of the trees.
The man seems to be still the same for many years, he doesn't have a lot of contact with Luo Mu, but Luo Mu still remembers him vividly, because it was he who made Luo Mu come into contact with the world of the soul master for the first time, the man's name is Allen, he was a Lingge soul master in the Maryland Golden Hall, that is, he helped Ke Rui Shenwen succeed, and it was he who made Luo Mu's auspicious cloud remnant soul appear in this world for the first time.
Allen's appearance has not changed, for the soul master, these ten years are too short, it seems that he is only more mature, his face is no longer as fair as when he was pampered in the Golden Hall, it seems that he has endured a lot of wind and frost, and the earphones that were inseparable from his neck are also gone.
Luo Mu was stunned, he never imagined that the two would meet again in this situation.
Maryland bore the brunt of the attack and was crushed by the army led by Curry, and Luo Mu had been to Maryland on the way to stop Lucifer, and although the Golden Hall still stood there, it seemed to have lost its soul and no longer had the glory of the past.
Luo Mu didn't know what the Golden Hall, the Soul Master Organization, had gone through, but no matter how he said it, Alan was far from being mixed with Lis, and for a Soul Master of Allen's level, the rank of the Lisi organization wanted to recruit them, which was really a little unqualified.
Luo Mu was stunned for a moment before asking, "Why are you here?"
Alan smiled silently wryly, and then said, "I've always been here."
Alan shook his head and said, "The Golden Hall was almost wiped out in the Hell invasion a few years ago, although we defended the Golden Hall, but the entire organization was almost devastated, and we couldn't afford to withstand another impact, but those demons seemed to be in a hurry, and they didn't kill us, but went towards Hurlis."
Alan paused for a moment, then said, "Even Aleister is... Killed in battle"
Luo Mu didn't know what to say, although he didn't have any feelings for the Golden Hall, but there was an extremely unforgettable memory there, that is, the day he stepped out of the Golden Hall, his life took a turn.
Luo Mu can imagine the fierceness of the battle in Maryland, the Golden Hall is not an official organization, and it has no responsibility to fight, but it was still destroyed by the demon legion to this extent, it is conceivable that the situation at that time was very likely not that they didn't want to leave, but that they couldn't leave at all.
Luo Mu was silent for a moment, but the explosions and roars that still came from time to time in the distance made Luo Mu wake up from his memories, and now Alan is no longer a person who will abuse his soul power just to maintain his own personality, and now he is likely to be one of the most powerful combat forces of Lith.
Alan saw Luo Mu's face gradually returning to normal, sighed lightly, and said, "Corvo at that time was too chaotic, I had some unavoidable reasons, I had to join them, I didn't say this to explain anything, since I had already made a choice at that time, then I will admit it"
Alan raised his head and looked into Luo Mu's eyes, and said, "Luo Mu, I know very well what you have done in the past few years, although I don't understand how you restored your remnant soul, but everyone has secrets, and I will keep secrets for you, since you and I met today, I know that I am by no means your opponent, but I can't die yet."
Luo Mu shook his head and said, "Keep it a secret for me, it's not enough, and I don't think this will cause me any trouble, whether others will believe you or not is not necessarily."
Alan nodded, smiled, and said "I understand, so I have a secret about you, and I think it's enough to change my life"
Luo Mu frowned, in fact, he didn't have any murderous intentions towards Allen, although Allen was also a member of Lith, but in his capacity, he didn't do any pickled things with his own hands, most of them appeared as a guard, and Luo Mu also believed what Allen said, if there was really no reason to refuse, Allen would not join Lith.
But understanding is understanding, Luo Mu doesn't want to let him go, Luo Mu doesn't want to kill him, but if he lets Alan go, it is likely to bring some unexpected trouble.
Alan is a Lingge Soul Master, and it is obvious that he is a Spiritual Master, and his keen sense is innate, although in the dark, he still noticed Luo Mu's hesitant look, he said, "Don't worry, I promise that after leaving, I will not have any contact with Lis, after all, this place has been destroyed, and I can't go to their headquarters to be questioned again, you can rest assured, and I know this secret, I guarantee that if you miss it, you may regret it"
Luo Mu thought about it, leaned against the tree on the side, and said, "Let's hear it."
It wasn't until Luo Mu said this sentence that Allen's tense nerves relaxed, don't look at him pretending to be relaxed before, in fact, his heart has been tense, he has been in Lith for so many years, so he knows far more about what Luo Mu has done in Igniz than ordinary people, and he is not half sure that he will survive Luo Mu's pursuit.
Alan exhaled lightly, also leaned against the tree on the side, was silent for a moment, and whispered "You are not Rose and Chrissy's child"
Another roar came from behind the two of them, as if there were already dirt chips splashed into the woods on the two of them, but it was obvious that under the leadership of Frodich, the road ahead of Qiu and his party was like a bamboo, and they would soon rush to Luo Mu's location.
The explosion was very loud, but Allen's words were no less than hundreds of explosions, Luo Mu's face was still calm, not even a trace of waves, no one knew what his heart was like at this moment, whether it was like a stormy wave, or as calm as his face.
The roar gradually dissipated, and Alan continued, "After I helped you sink the tattoo, I am very interested in you, because you have a once-in-a-lifetime thorn seal soul pattern, this kind of soul pattern is very few records in the history of the soul master, these people are all well-known existences, not to mention, you are still a remnant soul, this is really unbelievable"
"So, when I didn't have a job, I deliberately investigated your information, because you were only ten years old that year, so a lot of information is still relatively well preserved, the information of nearby villages and towns is in Maryland, it is easy to investigate, I have read a lot of files about you, although I can't know where you came from, but the only thing I can know is that you are not the biological son of Rose and Chrissy, and the file shows that they only have one daughter, which is Claire"
Luo Mu always lowered his head slightly, as if he didn't care to listen to this may be his real life experience, as if listening to a story, after Allen finished speaking, he stopped, and after a while, Luo Mu asked, "Evidence?"
Alan sighed lightly and said, "With your strength, I don't believe you don't have any awareness, your soul power, potential, and even your appearance are not at all what a person and an ordinary person can conceive after a lifetime to reach a mere soul envoy..."
But before Allen could finish speaking, he felt a sudden chill on his cheeks, and a long knife had pierced the trunk of the tree behind his head, cutting an extremely long and deep cut on his cheek, and blood flowed down Allen's cheek onto his clothes.
Allen's pupils gradually contracted, he couldn't even see Luo Mu's movements just now, this was the first time he really felt Luo Mu's horror, and even if Luo Mu wanted to, he might have been in a different place at that moment just now.
Luo Mu was already standing in front of him, Luo Mu's face was still expressionless, but there was already a trace of coldness in his tone, Luo Mu stared at Allen's eyes and said, "I hope you can maintain respect"
Luo Mu slowly pulled the cloud chopping cloud out of the trunk, then turned around and said, "Whether what you say is true or not, I don't care, but I know that I only have one father and one mother."
After speaking, Luo Mu slashed the cloud lightly, and the cloud turned into a cloud of smoke and disappeared into his hand, and Luo Mu also walked towards the way he came, but Allen's voice came from behind.
"It's a deal, but I think you should know where you came from, and if you don't believe me, you can take a look at this."
As he spoke, a piece of paper floated in front of Luo Mu from behind, it was an archive paper torn from the file that he didn't know, the edges were already a little yellowed, but he could still see that there were traces of Maryland's exclusive seal on the paper.
On the paper is a family registration file.
"Head of household: Ross Spouse: Chrissy Daughter: Claire Adopted Son: Luo Mu"
There are also photos of Ross when he was young, and in addition to these, the file also contains Luo Mu's home address in Qinghe Town, as well as some other basic information.
Luo Mu took the paper and quickly glanced at it, without speaking, Alan said, "If you want to know more, I think you can go and meet your grandfather, although I don't know if his old man is still alive, but I wrote his address on the back of the file."
Luo Mu didn't turn over the file paper and take another look, but didn't stop and left directly.
Luo Mu didn't walk in the direction that Qiu and Sireth came from, but walked on a different path, did Luo Mu really have no knowledge of his own background at all? Of course he knew it, better than anyone else.
There are so many mysteries surrounding him that he has even begun to doubt whether he is a human being, because if it is not, many things cannot be explained at all, Luo Mu has always known that he must have something different from others, but he doesn't know where this difference comes from.
But now, he knew, maybe from the very beginning, he was different.
Luo Mu just never thought about this, he always felt that where he came from, or who he was, these were meaningless to him at all, because the reason and significance of his own still moving forward step by step were not himself.
But when he really saw this piece of paper again, Luo Mu felt as if something in his heart had been suddenly shattered.
Luo Mu took out a cigarette from his pocket and put it in his mouth, he looked at the file paper, Rose's hearty smile when he was young, he felt that it seemed that it was time to figure out something.
Luo Mu took out a lighter, lit the cigarette on his mouth with some trembling, and took a deep breath.
