Endless Debt

The factory, which was already in ruins, almost completely collapsed under the tyranny of the Shadow Devouring Beast.

There were constant crashing and chopping sounds, and someone could also be heard cursing. Judging from the sound of his yelling, this guy was still alive and well.

Forget it, David wasn't planning to kill him anyway, or in other words, he couldn't kill Boluogo at all.

When Boluogo "resurrected from the dead" for the first time, David realized that he might have met an undead. He didn't expect that Opos, which looked so big, was actually so small. This kind of thing only existed in stories. The guy with the book could actually be touched by himself.

David laughed bitterly, then vomited a large amount of blood.

The liquid spirit potion can be regarded as the liquid philosopher's stone, the liquid "golden soul". David injected several potions into his body at one time, in exchange for such powerful power.

But power comes at a price.

The capacity of his soul cannot support such power, so the alchemical matrix is ​​collapsing, and his soul is dying with it, not to mention that David has been so seriously injured. Despite the massive blood loss, he can still stay awake, completely Relying on the maintenance of liquid spirit potion.

I don’t know whether to thank you or say something to complain.

With tired steps, David returned to his office along the broken steps. There were constant vibrations all around. It was only a matter of time before the place collapsed into ruins.

David took a deep breath and tried to stay awake. He still had some things to do before he died.

Sitting back in his office chair, he was so majestic before sitting here, but now he is dying.

David had no thoughts, but kept praying in a low voice.

It's ridiculous to say that a person like him would still pray in the end, even if he was about to die. No matter it was a god or a devil, as long as he was willing to stretch out his hand, he wouldn't mind grabbing it tightly.

It's a pity that no one came.

David dialed a familiar number, picked up the phone, and heard bursts of electricity from the receiver. While waiting in panic, a familiar voice rang.

"David?"

Thank God, after such a fierce battle, the phone line was not broken.

"Yo, Cordening."

David tried to make his voice lighter and continued before Ketnerin could say anything.

"As a professional mercenary, I should fight until the last second, even if I die, I must wield the last knife... just like the knights in the story, standing and dying on the battlefield.

But I also thought, I have worked hard all my life, and it should be okay if I am a little less competent before I die. "

David looked at the broken window in front of him, and the darkness was squirming violently. He could have controlled the violent shadow beast to fight. Even if he couldn't kill Boluogo, he would have had the opportunity to severely injure Palmer.

But he gave up and held off the two of them as much as possible in exchange for this last phone call.

"Stop talking, Kedening, listen to me carefully."

The joking ended here, David turned his head and pressed the wound on his neck. The wound penetrated into the respiratory tract, making his voice somewhat unclear.

"People from the Bureau of Order are here. Both of them seem to be from the 'Control School'. One can control the air flow. He likes to hide flying knives in the air flow during battles. You need to pay attention. The other person seems to be able to control the touching... Substance, I don’t know the more specific details, I’m losing a lot of blood right now and I can’t think straight.”

David coughed twice and continued.

"The most important thing is that the latter is suspected of being undead... At least Bill couldn't kill him. You know Bill's fists. If you encounter them, you know what to do.

Then all the goods were destroyed and Bill died. What a pity. This guy can no longer be my driver. Fortunately, I am about to die now. When the remaining ether burns out, I will probably die. No. Knowing there are no roads in hell, Bill raced and I cheered from the passenger seat. "

David said this after hesitating. He wanted to say something emotional about life. When the words came to his lips, he found that he had nothing but the sweet dream of the big villa in Fengyuan Heights.

David suddenly felt a little sad. In the movies he watched, when some characters died, they would tell some shocking truths. They were so cool, but when he was about to die, all he could think about was the house prices in Fengyuan Heights.

Such sentiments are really meaningless, so it would be better not to say them.

"Listen carefully to the next words, Kedening.

Be careful of the 'ghoul', he has decided to give up on you. If not for what happened today, you would have been the one attacked. He is planning to expose your information and use you as bait to cover our evacuation. "

David told the secret freely.

"After tonight, take Gini and leave Opos. The people in the King's Secret Sword cannot be trusted. We have been pawns from the beginning.

By the way, there are also my deposits, all of which are stored in the Union Bank of Rheinland. The account name is my name, and the password, as you know, is the simplified score of "Ode to Joy". "

This is what they learned when they were in school. David has no interest in art. He only thinks about how to make money, while Kedening is interested in it. David only learned this when he saw Kedening humming to a line of numbers.

"The most unlucky thing is this. After making so much money, I died before I could spend it.

But, Kedening, that is my money after all, so if you want to use it, I suggest you spend it on a villa in Fengyuan Heights. Even if it is not a villa, there is no problem, as long as you live there. "

His cloudy eyes recalled the past.

"My mother told me before she died that I was actually born in Fengyuan Highland. I was still young at that time and couldn't remember anything. She divorced my father and took me away from there."

David's voice paused.

"I've never been to Fengyuan Highlands...but I guess it can be considered my hometown to some extent, right?"

The voice weakened, and at some point the glow on David had dimmed, like a flame swaying in the wind, almost extinguished.

Humming a song, his violent eyes gradually calmed down.

"3345, 5432..."

The glow of the alchemical matrix was completely extinguished. David's hand drooped down weakly, his pale head turned to one side, and the receiver fell to the ground with a dull sound.

The creeping darkness in the factory dissipated, and then a galloping iron spear pierced through everything, like a thunder strike that dealt the final blow to the building.

Soon, the crumbling masonry collapsed completely, burying everything in ruins.

…

The singing gradually faded away, and then there was a dull crashing sound. Everything was completely reduced to the noise of electricity, as if it had never existed.

Kedening slowly put down the phone, his eyes filled with confusion... For some reason, he felt unreal at the moment, as if everything was just a dream.

"David?"

He tried calling, but there was no response.

Kedening sat like this for a long time.

This is a dream, a bad nightmare.

I slept in the dressing room. As soon as I woke up, everything would be back to normal. Everything just happened was just a fragment of a dream. When I woke up, nothing had happened. David was still looking after the factory, and he had to perform on stage. .

After tonight's curtain call, they will begin to evacuate. They will take Gini and wealth away from the city. They can buy a small house in Fengyuan Heights, and even be neighbors with David, and then run some small businesses. , enough for them to spend their lives safely...

A hoarse voice came from his throat, and he grabbed his face with stiff hands as if asking for help.

Looking at himself in the mirror, under the colorful makeup, Ke Dening felt a strange feeling of strangeness, as if the person in the mirror was not himself, but another guy who was familiar but unfamiliar to him.

He pulled hard, but couldn't pull the mask off no matter what, as if it had become one with his face, indistinguishable from each other.

The nails dug deeply into the flesh, leaving small wounds. The blood mixed with paint streaked across the cheeks, turning into a strange and bright look.

"Ah, this is not a dream."

Kedening murmured.

David is dead, Bill is also dead, and there is also a conspiracy hidden in the King's Secret Sword...

Kedening felt that he should be sad, but he couldn't cry, and he didn't even feel sad at all.

Empty.

He couldn't feel anything at this moment, as if he had become an empty shell, and his internal organs and soul had long been hollowed out.

A shrill ringtone rang, but it couldn't reach Kedening's ears. Now he couldn't hear anything.

The last words of David's life kept swirling in his mind, like a curse, constantly flashing back.

Is this what you said, leave everything to you? David.

Your response to this is to trade your life for this information to warn yourself? This is too strange.

Kedening suddenly laughed, but there was no hint of happiness in his expression.

He was a little confused about the meaning of David's last phone call. He had known about the plan of the King's Secret Sword for a long time, and maybe he was one of them. He was prepared to just watch his death indifferently.

But in the end, he told himself to run away. Is this a kind act by a villain before his death? Knowing that he was destined to die, he might as well do something good... to save another evil person.

Kedening smiled even happier. He didn't think David was that kind of person. David was a cold-blooded and crazy guy. He was born to be a qualified mercenary.

Maybe David has never thought about killing him. He has always been an insidious guy. He must have some other plans...

Kedening couldn't understand.

David is dead and no one has the answers.

The memory began to fade, and Kedening suddenly realized that he had not seen David for a long time. I don’t know when, the only communication between the two was on the phone. At such a moment that no one expected, he was so simple. The ground is dead.

Just... dead.

"Kodening!"

The shouts gradually came, but Kedening didn't respond. It wasn't until someone slapped his shoulder vigorously that Kedening was called out of his crazy thoughts.

Bray slapped him and said, "Don't you hear the bell? The show is about to begin."

"Performance? Yes, I have another performance."

Kedening said to himself.

"Are you...are you okay? Is this some new makeup?"

Bray felt that something was wrong with Kedening's mental state, but it seemed that these artists were all like this, showing a drunken state every moment.

Looking at Kedening's face again, Bray mistakenly thought that the blood stains on his cheeks were makeup. They were so eye-catching and hung on his face, giving people an indescribable weird feeling.

"Nothing, I'm fine, I'm fine."

Kedening stood up slowly, murmuring continuously.

"I still have a show."
