Endless Debt

"Misty Fortress?"

In the shaking carriage, Boluogo recalled the information and muttered to himself.

"Have you ever fought there?"

Questions rang out, and Camp sat across from Bologg. He knew the identity of Bologg's undead man, and also knew about the wars he had participated in, but that was only paper information. Kemp wanted to hear Bologg's own words. Tell me about that history.

Kemp regarded Boluogo as a target to catch up with, and he was extremely curious about everything about Boluogo.

"That's right," Boluogo recalled. "I did not directly participate in the battle against Mist Abyss Fortress. When the army surrounded Mist Abyss Fortress, I was still on the way to the battlefield."

In the carriage, everyone involved in this operation was present, and everyone listened quietly to Boluogo's story.

"When I arrived at the battlefield with the troops, I only caught up with the final general attack. After a salvo of artillery fire, we captured the solemn fortress and swarmed in.

I was among the last group to enter. At that time, Wuyuan Fortress had been completely occupied by us. We used this place as a stronghold to gather our troops and prepare to march towards the sacred city behind Wuyuan Fortress. "

Boluogo did not describe that past in detail. It was a bad past. Maybe it itself had become thin and muddy in Boluogo's mind.

"You all know what happened next. It was an unprecedented melee. Everyone was like crazy, fighting each other. When the bullets were empty, they set up their bayonets and charged.

Battles broke out everywhere, in open frontal battlefields, intricate trenches... and there were tragic wails everywhere. "

Bologg paused, and the memories of the past became blurred, like a strange montage. Bologg didn't know what he had experienced anymore, like a nightmare from which he could not wake up.

"Speaking of which, in a battlefield like that, the sense of time becomes blurred."

Listening to Boluogo's sigh, Kemp cast a doubtful look.

"Every minute and every second becomes extremely long. Sometimes I feel like I have been fighting for hours, but in fact only a few minutes have passed."

Boluogo expressed the twisted strange feeling at that time.

"The bloody setting sun has been hanging in the sky. At that time, I was thinking that unless this crazy war ends completely, the bloody setting sun will never set, and the next day will never come."

After the words fell, the carriage fell into a brief silence, and then a burst of announcements sounded from overhead.

They've arrived.

After Lebius arranged the operation, several people stepped up their preparations and got to work on the third day.

During this period, Boluogo conducted a long period of training to adapt to this new secret power. He originally wanted to see Aimu, but according to people who worked on the sublimation furnace core, she and Bailie invested in it together. At work, I have locked myself in the laboratory and haven't come out for several days.

He should still be researching things about the etheric realm.

Although I didn't see Aimu, Aimu asked someone to send something to Boluogo, which was the weapon that Boluogo had given her before.

Boluogo's weapons suffered varying degrees of damage in successive battles. With the help of Aimu, these weapons were repaired to a certain extent.

"Everyone, are you ready?"

Boluogo stood up and glanced around.

Everyone nodded silently in response.

Boluogo sighed in a low voice, "Am I considered a team leader? This feels really wonderful."

"Do you need me to call you Team Leader Boluogo?" Palmer half-joked.

Boluogo shook his head, "Let's forget it. This is still a bit too unfamiliar to me."

"But it's a fact," Church said. "You're already an operations leader, even if it's temporary."

"Similar troubles will only increase in number, and temporary action teams will be put together repeatedly," Hart said, "And you... have been temporary for too many times, and you will get used to it all."

Listening to the responses from his "team members", Boluogo gradually calmed down.

The time to take charge of the banner was faster than Boluogo imagined. It turned out that the people were not joking with him, nor was it some imaginary description.

After Lebius announced the operation, Bologo was summoned again the next day. Facing the huge crowd, Bologo heard about the decision-making room's plan to form a new action group.

This action team is different from the regular action team. It is only temporarily formed when necessary tasks arise, and the team members are also temporarily pulled from other action teams.

It gathered the expertise of various action groups and turned it into an action group responsible for special tasks. Bologo, who had just been promoted to the person in charge, was appointed as the temporary leader of this temporary action group.

Bologg tried to refuse, but the crowd obviously ignored Bologg's request.

Considering Boluogo's outstanding performance in various extraordinary events, his own strong personal ability, the power of a person in power and other factors, he is the most suitable candidate.

Burlogo could only obey.

As if it had been planned for a long time, everyone had already prepared all the documents needed for this action team.

"Then, let's go."

Bologg accepted his fate and took up the banner. He may not be ready yet, but Bologg knows that he will always be ready.

That moment will come.

The car doors popped open neatly, and bursts of hot air overflowed from the mechanical gaps.

Bologg put on the Soul Appearance and carried the Black Blade. Like Bologg, the others, Hart, Kemp, and Shelley, the three from the sixth group, wore their familiar... Palmer randomly picked up a dark mask and put it on. He had never had a specific mask. The same was true for Church. His face became unfamiliar. As if it was unnecessary, he also put on a black mask. mask.

Several people maintained the style of the original action group. The only consistent thing was that they all wore the same cuff on their left arms.

It was a black cuff, with a silver badge hung in the center. Countless cracks covered the surface of the badge, as if it would completely shatter in the next second, but there were chains covering it. above the cracks, preventing its collapse.

Temporary action team, disaster orderer.

This is the code name of the action group led by Boluogo.

Bologg walked out of the carriage, walked through the dim corridor, and arrived at the depths of the Great Rift from the secret station. Behind him, Bologg's team members followed Bologg's steps. Everyone holds swords in their hands and is ready to fight.

The third year.

In the third year, Boluogo became the bearer of power and led an action team belonging to him, even if this action team would only appear in the form of a temporary action.

Boluogo is not only the youngest person with power in the history of the Bureau of Order, but also the youngest team leader.

Bologo felt that there was no problem in calling himself the youngest. After all, his youth was judged by the length of his working years. As for the length of his biological age, this data was meaningless to Bologo.

Stepping into the thick white mist, Bologg felt the connection with the devil. Ever since he encountered those shadows in the etheric realm, Bologg felt that the umbilical cord between himself and the devil was getting deeper.

Vaguely, Boluogo seemed to be able to see those dark umbilical cords covered with sticky tar again. They were interspersed in the deep cracks, like a web of sin woven by giant beasts.

They netted everyone and became more and more dense. In the hesitant fork in the road, such a web of umbilical cords was everywhere, and on the bar called the spider web, countless umbilical cords were gathered together and turned into a A huge tar egg, pregnant with the essence of evil.

"forward."

Burlogo whispered.

Several people walked along the steep corridor towards the depths of the great rift. According to the information in the decision-making room, the Mist Abyss Fortress was most likely in this area, but the fierce poisonous fog shrouded it, so there was no way. People know.

Boluogo walked in the front, Hart holding a large shield was at the end of the team, and Church was protected by them in the center. Just as Lebius said, Church was the key to this operation.

Boluogo would confirm Church's status from time to time, but he would often forget Church's existence for a certain moment, as if his mind was confused, and he even said he couldn't remember Church clearly.

How strange.

After noticing this, Boluogo vaguely remembered that he had some doubts about Church before, but now no matter how Boluogo thought about it, he couldn't remember what he had doubts about at that time.

Bologg became focused. This was the first action since the establishment of the Order of Disaster, and it was also the first time Bologg served as the leader.

To be honest, Boluogo felt that this was no different from his previous actions. He was usually responsible for decision-making and leadership, but this time a real position was given to Boluogo, and a sense of responsibility arose spontaneously. In the heart of Boluogo.

What Boluogo has to bear is no longer the success of the operation, but also the safety of the team members and bringing them back alive.

The surrounding fog gradually became thicker. These poisonous fogs were extremely lethal to ordinary people, but they could not affect the condensers. They relied on the strengthening of themselves by the ether and the blessing of extraordinary power.

As long as a certain amount of ether output is maintained, the Sublimers can resist the erosion of these toxins, and being directly exposed to the poisonous mist is somewhat dangerous, but it also allows the Sublimers to judge the situation more accurately.

The slightest sense of strangeness would make them more vigilant, but excessive protection would dull their perception.

Boluogo did more than the others. He didn't even mobilize the ether to protect himself, and allowed the mist to pass over the surface of his skin, causing a burning sensation.

Blinking, Boluogo saw many umbilical cords extending to the depths of the sea of ​​fog below. He rubbed his eyes, and the umbilical cords disappeared again.

The hallucinations are getting worse.

Countless umbilical cords are entangled in Boluogo's body, tightly tying his dark destiny to him.

…

"In addition to the King's Shield Guards, we might also encounter people from the Gray Trade Chamber of Commerce."

Boluogo's voice sounded in the minds of several people, and the whistle connected them, but because the heart network was not established, the scope of this connection was very small.

Before the timeline chaos incident and before the destruction of TEDA's alchemy workshop, Boluogo already knew that there was some kind of power lingering in the Great Rift, interfering with the winding path and affecting the connection of the Heart Network.

The explanation given by TEDA at the time was that the alchemical waste thrown into the Great Rift created an interference magnetic field through interaction. Looking back now, Bologo is more inclined to believe that this is the power of the devil at work.

Wandering Cross Road is the land of Mammon, so it can be said that everything in the Great Rift is built on the edge of the devil's land.

The deeper the understanding, the more Bologo realizes what a terrible danger Mammon's existence is to the Oath City Opos.

The wandering mammon on the fork in the road, the evil in this world in the abandoned land, the light that is still burning in the ruined city.

The three check and balance each other, but once the balance between them is deviated, the disaster will drag the city into a sea of ​​​​fire in an instant... just like what happened more than sixty years ago.

"The Gray Trade Chamber of Commerce? I don't think they will take the initiative to attack us," Hart's voice sounded. He knew something about the Gray Trade Chamber of Commerce. "They are only responsible for business. If they attack us, they should send mercenaries."

"Legion of the Speechless."

After hearing about the mercenaries, several people mentioned the silent enemies in unison.

For the Silent Ones, except for Boluogo, the pressure on others was not that great. In the first negotiation battle, they all felt that the Silent Ones had nothing to fear except their almost numb fighting will. place, but only Bologger knew that it was only when more than half of the Silent Ones were dead or wounded that their true power would be revealed.

At that time, Bologo was just a believer, and had no power to resist the Silent Ones who had climbed to the position of Defenders. But now that he has become a person in power, and is fully aware of the existence of the Blessing and Soul-sucking Soul-Usurper, Coupled with his own immortality, Boluogo felt that he had the ability to fight against the defender, and even said to kill him.

The ether is the source of power for all condensers.

When facing the Zongge Orchestra, especially the White Gulls, Boluogo often felt a sense of powerlessness. His immortal body allowed him to endure pain that could lead to death, and the existence of Blessing and Chaos Joy made his ether almost Endless, if it weren't for Canary's targeted attacks, Boluogo couldn't think of any way to defeat him.

Blessing and Chaos Welfare is very powerful, but compared with Blessing and Soul Sucking Soul, in terms of practicality, Blessing and Chaos Welfare is far inferior.

It can make the condenser gain a huge amount of ether, but it cannot affect the opponent. No matter what, the opponent still has enough ether to counterattack to a certain extent.

Can Protect and Soul Sucking is different. It directly extracts the ether from the enemy's body. While strengthening itself, it also weakens the enemy. Without the ether, even the defender will become powerless.

The astronaut's protection is like a deadly dagger. As long as Bologo uses it properly, combined with the unique attack of the Secret Energy and Commanding Order, targeting the critical moment soul, Bologo has a great possibility of assassinating him. A base keeper.

But Boluogo was still hesitant.

Previously, seizing the soul fragments from the demon's body was just an almost instinctive passive release of the protection and soul-sucking soul-sucking. However, once he took the initiative to hold the sword, Boluogo was afraid of being cut by it and the deepening of the curse.

Boluoge suddenly stopped walking, and he remembered something.

"Another evil spirit."

He spoke in an inaudible voice.

Unknowingly, the invisible web connected all the things that Boluogo had always suspected. Boluogo's thoughts were running at a high speed, and a terrible suspicion arose in his heart.

If……

What if that is not the so-called vigilante or extrajudicial sanctioner at all?

What if he, like Boluogo, is also a protector and soul-sucking contractor? He is collecting souls... from the bodies of demons.

Boluogo is the only person chosen by the astronauts. This does not mean that the astronauts have no other debtors or contractors.

A chill came from the surging mist, passing through Boluogo's nerves, causing a slight sting.

Boluogo had been telling himself to be wary of astronauts, but he still relaxed unknowingly and was completely unaware of such a possibility.

Looking at the deep and dark corridor ahead, the billowing fog is like an elegant ghost, showing everyone the hopeless place of death.

"What's wrong? Bologg." Palmer asked when Bologg stopped.

Burlogo said, "No... nothing."

"Are you nervous?" Kemp said, "After all, this is the temporary action group's first operation."

"Actually, there's nothing to be nervous about," Shelley said relaxedly. "Compared with the previous joint operations, it's just that this time we have a unified title."

Shelley gently touched the armband on the cuff. She liked this thing as it was a testimony of honor.

Bologger took a long breath. He said no more, and just followed the guidance of the umbilical cord, heading towards the depths of the great fissure. Palmer could vaguely see the existence of the umbilical cord in his eyes, but they were too blurry. Just black shadows.

After going a certain distance, Boluogo signaled the team to stop. He stretched out his hand, and several people observed carefully. They could see the appearance of ancient buildings vaguely emerging from the rolling sea of ​​fog.

This was once part of the Wandering Fork Road, but now it has been swallowed up by the sea of ​​fog and abandoned. During the Timeline Disarray Incident, Bologo also fought in such ruins.

"Stay alert."

Boluogo's voice sounded directly in several people's minds. This is a reconnaissance mission, and if possible, try to avoid any direct combat.

Pulling out the Resentment Bite, holding the pitch-black sword blade in his hand, relying on the Resentment Bite's ability to cut off the ether flow, coupled with Bologo's secret energy and protection, Bologo's lethality climbed to a terrifying peak.

After being promoted to the Power Bearer, Bologo not only solved his own shortcoming of lack of direct lethality, but also turned this shortcoming into his own specialty.

The hand holding the sword trembled slightly, and Boluogo found himself a little excited, looking forward to meeting the enemy and fighting with them, using blood and bones to prove the strength of his abilities.

"Quiet."

Boluogo lowered his breathing, and the etheric shield covered his body. Not only him, but others also unfolded the etheric shield, even Palmer. After a period of diligent practice, he has mastered this skill. Tai Chi skills.

The sense of existence of several people seemed to be completely stripped away. Apart from confirming the existence of several people with the naked eye, there was no power to perceive their existence.

After walking through the narrow and dark corridor, and then passing through a series of rugged roads, Boluogo went deeper and deeper into the great chasm. Under the interference of thick fog and terrain, few people could find this place without the guidance of the shadow of the umbilical cord. It’s no wonder that the Order Bureau’s previous sweeps failed to find any trace of them.

There was a clanking sound in the silence, like an iron pick hammering at the ore. More light fell in the darkness. Boluogo squatted down and looked towards the outside world. Countless Ropes dangled from the gloom above, and workers wound the ropes around themselves, rising and falling along the cliffside.

The iron pick in his hand repeatedly struck the rock, carving out the prototype of the building on the steep cliff. A bright fire came from the cracked entrance, and the entire rock seemed to be burning inside, and the light filled every gap. .

"They hollowed out the rock."

Hart was shocked. No one could have imagined that there would be such a construction team in the desperate situation of the Great Rift.

Palmer was also shocked, "They are rebuilding the Mist Abyss Fortress. What on earth are they going to do?"

Bologg frowned. As a person with power, his senses have been strengthened several times. Others may not have noticed it yet, but Bologg has already noticed the key point in front of him.

"It's them," Bologo said softly, "the Legion of the Silent Ones."

On the towering bulge of the rock, a speechless man stood there, overlooking the sea of ​​fog. At the end of another rolling sea of ​​fog, there was also a speechless man.

Who knows how many speechless people are hidden here. Relying on the sharing of senses, they have formed an airtight warning network. Any abnormality will trigger a full-scale counterattack by the speechless people.
