Endless Debt

Chapter 51 Bailey Ietta

This is not the first time that Boluogo has used the "Key of the Winding Path", but when he actually arrived at the Bureau of Order, the strange surging feeling in his heart still couldn't stop.

In his mind, he couldn't help but recall the pattern carved on the box when he got the weapon, and the mysterious door with a whirlpool inside.

Boluogo began to wonder how many unknown departments there were in the Bureau of Order. Another thing is that since the Secret War, the "Kenshi" has been undergoing self-repair. To this day, it is still not completely rebuilt. Most areas belong to the "ruin area".

So what is the overall glory of "Kenshi"?

"Berogo, Palmer, here."

In the hurried atrium, Jeffrey, who had been waiting for a long time, waved to the two of them.

"Okay, just follow me now, Bologg." Looking at the two of them, Jeffrey said and stretched out his hand to Palmer, "It's time to give it back."

"What?" Palmer pretended to be stupid for a few seconds, but looking at Jeffrey's increasingly fierce eyes, he still took the initiative to hand over the "Key to the Winding Path", "I can't lend you this thing for a few days." ?"

"Do you think this is possible?" Jeffrey said unceremoniously, taking away the "Key to the Winding Path".

Since the Secret War, the Bureau of Order has been extremely strict in controlling the "Key to the Winding Path" to prevent anyone from breaking into this core "house" again.

After taking away the "Key to the Winding Path", Jeffrey motioned for Boluogo to follow, when Palmer asked.

"By the way, what are you going to do?"

"You don't need to know the rest of Boluogo's implantation ceremony." Jeffrey responded simply.

Palmer wanted to ask more questions, but when he saw Jeffrey's fierce gaze, he swallowed his words, waved his hands, and said goodbye to several people.

He was not very familiar with Jeffrey, but he vaguely remembered the existence of such a good old man. However, he never expected that sometimes this good old man's eyes would be so sharp, as if a sword was about to come out and strike him. Same.

This made Palmer feel uncomfortable, but the optimistic guy soon forgot about these things.

Maybe it's a blessing in disguise. The work of the special operations team is surprisingly easy, at least for now. It's not much more comfortable than the crow's nest. That damn guy Ivan keeps assigning tasks to himself as if he has a problem with himself. Never give yourself the chance to stay in the crow's nest for long.

Palmer continued to complain, but had no idea why Ivan did this.

Boluogo followed Geoffrey into a deep corridor. Only the two of them were walking forward here, and the sound of footsteps hit and echoed back and forth on the surrounding walls.

"The part about the Overlord needs to be kept secret, right?" Bologo asked.

"Yes, it's best not to let other people know about this," said Jeffrey, "not even Palmer. He can know the power of your secret power, but don't let him know where your secret power comes from. .”

"Only we, the participants, know about this matter. After all, it involves the authority of a 'Glorious One'. More importantly, the name of this 'Glorious One' is Xilin Kogardel."

Jeffrey took Boluogo for a walk and came to another huge atrium. According to the sign on the side, this is the second floor of the Order Bureau. As for how many floors the Order Bureau has, there should be no one there. clear.

What's even more weird is that when you raise your head, you can still see the familiar dome, illuminated by soft white light, and you can't experience the slightest warmth.

The layout of the atrium on the second floor is similar to that on the first floor, except that the core building is different. The core of the atrium on the first floor is the towering gates, which are responsible for communicating with employees who arrive through the "Key to the Winding Path".

The core of the atrium here is a high tower that reaches directly to the dome. Inside the high tower are elevators one after another, constantly transporting people back and forth.

“We call the atrium on the first floor the ‘Court of Winding Paths’ and the atrium on the second floor the ‘Court of Pillars.’” said Jeffrey.

"What's the point?" Bologg asked.

"Of course there is. Ordinary employees with first-level permissions can only move around the 'Cardyard of Winding Paths', while all departments with second-level permissions and above need to be reached through the elevator of the 'Court of Pillars'."

Jeffrey continued.

"Due to its special nature, the Field Support Department can be reached as long as you have a 'pass'. No matter which floor you are on, as long as you can find the 'door' of the Field Support Department."

Bologo recalled the long corridor filled with countless cubes when he first arrived at the field office.

"Of course, the rules are not so rigid. For people with higher authority, the 'room' in their eyes will change, and there will be a mobile elevator specially prepared for them, just like the last time we went to the 'Safety Containment Department'. "

"Kenshi" is "living", a labyrinth that is constantly growing and winding. Conventional spatial cognition is useless here. Everything is more like a conceptual level, which door leads to which place...

"It is said that the Director of the Order Bureau has the ability to directly give orders to 'vacate a room'. Wherever he wants to go, the door leading there will be opened in front of him."

The two of them stepped up the stairs and stepped into the opened elevator. Boluogo glanced at the rows of buttons. There were no specific floors written on them, but only signs one after another.

The crow with the iron whistle in its mouth, the poisonous snake wrapped around the fruit...

Because the temporary permission had expired, Bologo did not see the logo of the "Safe Containment Department" or the logo of the "Vortex Gate".

"By the way, you haven't been to the sublimation furnace core yet, right?" Jeffrey asked.

"To be precise, I haven't been anywhere much."

This is the truth. Every time Bologe came to the Bureau of Order, his scope of activities was only in the field department. After learning about the strangeness of the "Kenshi", Bologe realized that once he got lost in the "Kenshi", he might Something bad is going to happen.

After learning the information just now, the idea of ​​getting lost deepened in Boluogo's heart again.

"Well, that's right. You'd better not wander around until you get familiar with the 'Kenshi'. Every year, there are a few unlucky people who get lost and then disappear."

Whatever he said, Boluogo's face suddenly darkened after hearing what Jeffrey said.

Jeffrey laughed and patted Boluogo on the shoulder.

"I'm kidding, it's not that dangerous. The most dangerous place in the 'Kenshi' right now is just the 'Ruins Area', but it's all controlled by the 'Security Containment Department'. Unless you force your way in, it's still very safe here. "

Boluogo reluctantly believed what Jeffrey said, and then Jeffrey pressed the sign of the sublimation furnace core. After a brief pause, the elevator shook slightly and then ascended upwards.

When the elevator door opened again, a wave of scorching air hit your face. You could clearly feel the temperature rising by several degrees. The clanging sound of metal continued and the noise of machinery filled your ears.

The first thing you see is an extremely huge reactor. It looks like a tall tower. The gaps in the metal shine with extremely dazzling red light. The surface is covered with red dust. Under its huge base, there are countless Clean cables and power tubes extending from the reactor.

The pipes are densely packed, stretching across every corner of the field of vision like a spider web, and the rumbling sound coming from them can be vaguely heard.

Technicians were walking among them wearing various protective suits, carrying heavy tool boxes in their hands, and their faces were covered by gas masks.

The extraordinary mystery is no longer there, but it resembles a large factory. The two misfits, Bologna and Jeffrey, resemble the inspectors who came to inspect the factory workshop.

Boluogo took a deep breath, and the hot air rolled into his respiratory tract, causing a slight sting.

This is the sublimation furnace core, or the "scientific research and equipment department".

"Yo! Jeffrey, you are here."

The shouts rang out, along with bursts of fragrance, just like the cold winter, which made Boluogo wake up for a moment in the heat, and then a guy in a white coat appeared in front of him.

That was a strange guy, and her clothes were completely different from other people who were strictly guarded.

Her long blond hair was tied back, leaving a long ponytail. She was wearing a white coat with black clothes underneath, and a swaying badge on her chest, which represented the sublimation furnace core and was entangled with poisonous snakes. Guo, the lower body is wearing relaxed shorts, the smooth thighs are directly exposed, and the feet are wearing sandals.

Everyone else looked nervous about conducting high-risk experiments and wished they were wearing more protective clothing, but she looked like she had just left a beach party, still holding a wine glass in her hand, asking others if they wanted to have another one.

"I should have said that as a minister, you should set a good example of leadership and pay attention to your behavior! Put on the protective clothing quickly!"

Behind the woman, a guy wearing heavy protective clothing said, judging from the voice, he should be a man.

"Okay, okay, it's okay. I believe all technicians," the woman shouted loudly, "There has never been an accident in the sublimation furnace core this year, and everyone will keep it up, right?"

No one responded. The other technicians simply ignored the woman's voice and continued their work as if she did not exist. The woman smiled awkwardly. In order to ease the atmosphere, she walked directly towards Boluogo.

"Bologo Lazarus, right? I've known your name for a long time. I've seen your name in various experimental documents before."

The woman looked at Boluogo with a look of joy, and the cold fragrance became clearer. In this volcano-like sublimation furnace core, the woman was like a flower that should have bloomed in the cold winter.

"The living undead."

She looked around Boluogo, and from time to time she reached out to touch Boluogo, or pulled his hair, to judge that Boluogo was a real entity and not some illusion.

Gradually, Boluoge could clearly hear the woman's voice gasping for air. She looked at him with gleaming eyes, as if Boluogo was some extremely beautiful man.

Boluogo's body shook uncontrollably, just like when he encountered a predator, his body's instinct reacted.

"I said, after everything is done, should we make a deal? You can help me test something. Of course, you will also benefit."

She suddenly got close to Boluogo, her voice lingering in her ears, and she began to seduce herself, and waves of terrible whispers sounded.

"You're a guinea pig that won't die. Where should you start dismantling it first? Internal organs and limbs? By the way, we lost something in the 'ruin area', and you happen to be immortal. Do you want to help me take it out, sister?"

The woman's voice became thin and strange. The beautiful big sister just now was no longer, but turned into some kind of evil witch. Boluogo's expression froze for a moment, and he looked at Jeffrey beside him with difficulty. Foley had the same expression as himself, completely gray.

Jeffrey turned his back and greeted the other technicians. Even this social expert did not want to get too involved with this woman.

Wait, these technicians all look the same, how do you tell them apart?

Suddenly, a slight chill came from the back of his neck, interrupting all Boluogo's random thoughts.

"I said, Brother Boluogo."

The woman put her arms on Boluogo's body affectionately, with a strange smile on her face, and asked herself in a low voice.

"Do you want to switch jobs and come to my place? The sublimation furnace core is very safe. There is no fighting, just tightening the screws. And the funds are not enough. Whatever you want, my sister can get it for you. Yes, whether it’s alchemy weapons or more bizarre ‘contract objects’, you’ll have whatever you want.”

It’s simply the devil’s slander!

"I said! Be more serious!"

The sound rang out, and the man in protective clothing directly raised his foot and kicked her fiercely. He showed no mercy at all. The woman did not stand firm and fell directly. Then, like a chicken, she was lifted up by the man with one hand.

"Let me say sorry on her behalf first."

While the man bowed, he also pressed the woman's head.

"Hello, I am Baldr Villiers, her deputy."

After Balder finished speaking, he whispered to the woman, "Hurry up and introduce yourself!"

"Oh oh oh, hello, hello."

The woman quickly grabbed Boluogo's hand, shook it vigorously, and at the same time stroked the back of Boluogo's hand sickly, all she could see was Boluogo.

"Bailie Ietta, sublimation furnace core, also the director of the 'Scientific Research and Equipment Department'."

In this way, amidst the woman's ridiculous laughter, Boluogo saw the position of minister of the Order Bureau for the first time.
