Endless Debt

Bureau of Order, Observation Tower.

In the cold and simple order bureau, the observation tower is a very suitable place for leisure and relaxation. Under the overly large panoramic skylight, not only can you intuitively see the blue sky, but also the bright stars at the end of the deep blue are looming.

Looking down, the sea of ​​clouds is rolling, and the Kenshi is like a reef in the boundless ocean current. The sea of ​​clouds separates in front of it, and then gathers again.

Boluogo likes this place very much. In this cloudy Opos, this is one of the few places where he can bask in the sun. Since learning about this, Boluogo often likes to meet people here. Unexpectedly, this time he Go with Nathaniel as he thinks of it,

When Lebius said that Nathaniel was going to meet with Bologg here, the clouds in Bologg's heart dissipated a lot. Ever since he learned about the existence of the astronauts in the void, Bologg had always felt that there was something wrong. An invisible boulder pressed on his chest.

Boluogo wanted to confide these disturbing worries, but he knew very well that these were ominous information, and once confided to the people around him, it would most likely bring disaster to them.

This is what Boluogo doesn't want to see.

After weighing several times, Bologo found that the only one who could listen to him was Nathaniel.

His original release from prison was due to Nethaniel's instructions. Because of his deep connection with the devil, Nethaniel seemed to regard himself as a pioneer, responsible for detecting information related to the devil.

Now that Borogo has finally uncovered a piece of the mystery, it's time to report the recent situation to Nathaniel.

The most important thing is that with Nathaniel's confidence and strength, Boluogo believes that he has the ability to deal with even the revenge from the devil.

Suddenly, a strong big hand pressed Boluogo's shoulders from behind. Before he touched himself, Boluogo didn't notice any abnormal movement.

"Long time no see, Boluogo."

A familiar voice sounded. Bologg sat on a bench and raised his head, only to see a tall figure looking down at him. His face was backlit and blurry, and he could not see clearly, but Bologg knew that it was who.

"Long time no see, Minister."

Nathaniel sat next to Boluogo and stretched out his big hand to hold Boluogo's shoulders. It seemed that the relationship between the two was not between a boss and an employee, but a close brother.

Having been exposed to too many strange people, Bologo has become desensitized and is accustomed to such intimate actions.

"You seem to have a lot of important things to talk to me about."

Nathaniel looked at Bologo with a smile. From the initial vigilance to the calm treatment now, Nathaniel recognized Bologo's ability and also praised the director's selection ability.

These days, there aren't many field staff as dedicated as Burlogo.

Boluogo said bluntly, "I seem to have seen the devil who traded away my soul."

While waiting for Nethaniel, Bologo had been thinking about how to tell Nethaniel all this.

During the promotion ceremony, the strange stormy snowfield, the separation of body, mind and spirit, the memory of the nameless soul, the anchor breaking through the snow, and then the experience of nothingness...

The stacking of these events gave Bologg a splitting headache. In addition to describing these things, Bologg also had to find a way to explain to Nathaniel the things in the world after death, and...the astronauts.

astronaut.

This is a word that only belongs to Boluogo's "previous life" memory. In today's era, although humans have conquered the sky, they have not yet broken through the shackles of the sky and reached the high sky.

In this world, in this era, astronauts are something that shouldn't appear.

But the facts are irrefutable. The astronauts appeared in front of him in a real way, and they were deeply entangled with Boluogo's "past life".

Bologo found it extremely troublesome just to find a way to explain the concept of "astronaut" to Nathaniel, let alone describe the matter in complete detail.

So Borogo was going to select only the key parts and state them.

"In the afterlife, I saw the devil."

Burlogo then added.

"He said I was his...chosen one."

"Devil?" Nathaniel smiled and nodded, repeating Boluogo's words, "Or some so-called chosen one."

After saying that, Nathaniel's expression froze, the smile on his face disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his narrowed eyes gradually widened.

Serious, depressive, cold...Nathanil's temperament changed in an instant, like an awakened lion, the muscles in his body were tense, and the twisted veins were bulging, as if they were crawling with snakes.

"The chosen one..."

Nathaniel repeated the word again, putting his hand on Bologg's shoulder, as if he wanted to crush Bologg's body.

"Are you sure? That's what the devil told you?"

The identity of the Chosen One seems to be extremely special, so special that Nethaniel doesn't even care about the devil's authenticity.

Boluogo realized the importance of this information and nodded seriously in affirmation.

"That's what he said," Bologeau said. "He said he was betting on me."

Nathaniel took a deep breath, trying to control his emotions and calm down.

He sighed in a low voice, "Oh my god...Albert..."

Bologg captured "Albert". Bologg was surprisingly familiar with this name. It seemed that he had heard it somewhere. But before Bologg could continue to think about the origin of this name, Nathaniel suddenly stood up. .

Not allowing Boluogo to resist, Nathaniel pulled Boluogo up, raised his hand and snapped his fingers. Then the ground began to squirm violently, and the bricks and stones were neatly separated, collapsing into a continuous line in front of the two of them. down the stairs.

This is the prerogative of the deputy director. Under Nethaniel's will, the Kenshi will open an emergency channel for Nethaniel at any time.

Inside the dark staircase, a green safety sign lit up, and Boluogo was dragged in casually by Nathaniel like a large doll.

Boluogo followed closely behind Nathaniel, "I guess the identity of the 'Chosen One' is important, right?"

"It's more than important! Why are you telling me this now!"

Nathaniel's voice rose, both excited and panicked.

"Huh? I can't find you!"

Boluogo retorted, "I don't have any means of contacting you!"

Nathaniel fell silent. He didn't expect that he had forgotten this. As an ordinary employee of Boluogo, it was too difficult to contact him proactively.

"Alright alright……"

Nathaniel felt a little headache, "Hell, he might have heard our conversation."

"By whom?"

"A guy who likes watching movies, this is part of the deal. He stays here honestly, and we, like actors, interpret the direction of history in front of his eyes... Well, these things are not important, let us go first A place where he cannot observe."

Nethaniel said something that Boluogo couldn't understand, and the road in front of him continued to extend. Probably Nethaniel thought it was too slow, so he raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

For a moment, the figures of the two people began to blur and become distorted. Boluoge felt as if his internal organs were shifting and changing, and then the strange feeling disappeared.

The surroundings were still dim and nothing had changed, but Boluogo was certain that he had just experienced a winding path.

Without waiting for Boluogo to say anything, Nathaniel snapped his fingers several times in succession, and the two of them traveled through winding paths many times.

Every time the fingers are snapped, the surrounding environment is changing rapidly. First it is the Courtyard of Pillars, then the Field Support Department, the Sublimation Furnace Core, the Courtyard of Shensi...

After many moves, Borogo and Nathaniel were finally in darkness.

It's not pure darkness here. Although there is no observable light source, Boluogo can still clearly see the appearance of Nathaniel, as if the two of them have become some kind of luminous body, reflecting in the darkness. .

Nathaniel gestured, "Sit down."

Boluogo turned around and found that there was an extra chair under him. He looked at Nathaniel again and saw that he had already sat down. There was a low table between the two of them with wine glasses on it.

Boluogo asked curiously, "Where is this place?"

"Invitation room."

“When you’re summoned to a decision-making room, that’s the kind of space you’re going to be in,” Nathaniel explains.

Boluogo looked at the endless darkness around him, "In other words, we are very close to the decision-making room now?"

"More or less, there is no definition of spatial orientation here, but if you have to point out the direction..." Nathaniel pointed to the top of his head, "The decision-making room is above us."

The space inside the kennel is distorted and misaligned, and there is no specific sense of direction. Sometimes Boluogo even feels that each area is actually completely independent, but when passing through certain "doors", he will pass through it without feeling at all. Shuttle through winding paths, sending individuals to different areas.

"So let's talk about the Chosen One."

Nathaniel smiled with an unknown meaning, "I haven't been this nervous for many years."
