Endless Debt

The shadow squirmed among the ruins, like a completely black python, silently, without attracting anyone's attention. It moved along the broken masonry, and took a rest at the corner of the road, in the shadow of the blind corner, Condensed into a vague human form.

Olivia emerged from the darkness, looking around nervously. After making sure the area was safe, she sat down against the wall, her eyes full of exhaustion.

"It's really exhausting..."

Olivia sighed, with a bitter smile on her face.

After leaving the Undead Club, Olivia rushed towards the Land of Eternal Night without looking back. She did not know the secret passage of Serre and had no other means to enter the Land of Eternal Night. For this reason, her The action is very simple, just rely on the characteristics of its own secret energy to avoid the prying eyes of others, and penetrate here bit by bit.

Although the long journey and crossing the angry sea caused Olivia a lot of hardships, she still successfully arrived in the Land of Eternal Night, and even said that she passed through layers of defenses and arrived in the royal city. .

"It's been a long time since we've been apart."

Olivia raised her head, and the stern and oppressive building was so close, like a wildly growing giant beast. The rugged bones turned into spires, the thick blood vessels turned into corridors, and the thick skin turned into high walls and bricks to resist foreign enemies. The stone has a fishy and evil smell in every pore.

The Royal City, this is Olivia's hometown, and will also be the end of her journey. Now standing in front of these years, Olivia only feels that time is so fast that it is too fast for people to touch.

After walking out of the blind spot, Olivia's figure began to squirm again, like a cloud of amorphous smoke, which completely collapsed into a plume of black smoke after a few seconds, blending into the slowly sneaking shadows on the ground.

Relying on the characteristics of secret energy and the etheric shielding that is close to the extreme state, Olivia's actions went smoothly after entering the land of eternal night. She was like a returning ghost without attracting anyone's attention.

He carefully floated past the defense lines and walked towards the core of the royal city.

Soon, the surrounding scene became familiar in Olivia's eyes. There was a dilapidated and desolate courtyard on the edge of the royal city. Olivia once remembered its magnificence and mystery, but now only the history remains. scar.

The gate of the courtyard is stained with rust, as if it has been baptized by countless winds and rains. The relief on the door has long been blurred, and one can only guess its former pattern by imagination.

Olivia passed silently through the gap in the door. In order to avoid attracting anyone's attention, Olivia tried hard not to interact with any real matter.

Behind the door is a barren garden, overgrown with weeds, and bushes growing wildly and crazily, almost covering up the old stone pavement. Those once bright flowers now only have withered petals and withered branches and leaves, and the soil is dry and cracked into pieces. , barren and lifeless.

Olivia paused for a moment, and the dilapidated scene in front of her gradually overlapped with the beautiful scenes in her memory. Olivia remembered that when she was young, she had squandered a lot of time here.

I remember that I spent time here with my mother at that time. Now a hundred years have passed and everything has changed.

The luxury of the past is no longer there, only the old atmosphere remains.

Olivia saw that in a corner of the courtyard, a fountain had dried up, leaving only broken sculptures and scattered coins. The seats next to the fountain had long been eroded by wind and rain and were crumbling.

Walking to the dry fountain, thousands of memories bloomed from Olivia's mind, and a smile appeared on her face, but it turned cold again, and she woke up from a big dream.

Beyond the sustenance of these memories, Olivia continued to go deeper and move forward. The next road was no longer unfamiliar to her. Even if it was dilapidated like this, she still clearly remembered every corridor and every step. After a fork in the road, she could even find the room she had lived in between the spiral stairs.

Olivia did not continue to remember her, and simply sorted out her mood. Her expression became solemn, and she only had the only goal in her heart to carry out everything she had in mind.

The ether gathered around itself with all its strength, not letting out the slightest breath.

Olivia knew that as she went deeper, she would get closer and closer to her grandfather and the Night King. With the Night King's absolute control over the blood of the Night clan, once Olivia revealed her existence, she would definitely be Will attract the Night King's attention in an instant.

What awaits her then will be a city-wide pursuit. Even if Olivia possesses the secret ability to hide, she will not be able to hide for long.

The connection between the bloodlines of the Night Clan is far stronger than the bond of secret energy.

"Would you have felt the same as me at that time?"

Olivia muttered to herself, trying to put herself into Elsa's mood back then, but after careful consideration, Olivia found that her own mood was completely different from Elsa's.

Aisha used self-sacrifice to recall Sere's kindness in order to force him to save the world, but Olivia was different. She had never expected Sere. Her current actions were more of self-sacrifice than self-sacrifice. Olivia is tired of it all and seeks self-destruction.

Let this futile life have a fitting ending.

Stopping her steps, Olivia raised her head and looked at the highest point of the rugged towers, the Origin Tower that reached straight into the sky and was wrapped in dark clouds.

Olivia knew that it was the residence of the Night King and the core of the ritual that maintained the dark Iron Curtain.

Olivia knew from the beginning that she had no ability to assassinate the Night King. With the suppressive power of her bloodline, the moment the Night King noticed her, Olivia would kneel down to him because of the power of her bloodline. , bowed his head and bowed his head.

The so-called assassination of the king and killing of the driver is a sad joke.

But this does not mean that Olivia can't do anything. There are many things that Olivia can do, such as destroying the core of the ritual and ending the Dark Iron Curtain. This is Olivia's real purpose of sneaking into the Land of Eternal Night.

Suddenly, a burst of crazy and noisy shouts came from not far away.

The roar seemed to have magical power, setting off a series of hurricanes and impacts. Olivia hid under the low wall in time, thus avoiding the airflow and keeping herself hidden.

After a few seconds, the whistling wind stopped, and the smelly blood remained beside Olivia. She stuck her head out in confusion and looked in the direction of the surging blood.

From that direction, Olivia smelled a bloody smell so strong that it could almost draw blood.

After hesitating for a moment, Olivia changed direction. Her secret power was much weaker in offensive nature, but it was very effective in penetrating and spying on intelligence.

Passing through the abandoned streets and ruined buildings, the open square came into view. At this time, the bloody smell around him became more intense, and just breathing gave him a feeling of sucking blood.

Olivia remained hidden. As she approached, she saw many night tribes wandering here, as well as groups of bloodthirsty people tied with iron chains, making low roars.

This reminded Olivia of the days when she and Serei fought to expand the frontiers in their childhood. At that time, Serei led such an army of night tribe elites and bloodthirsty people.

At present, a large number of bloodthirsters and night tribes are gathering here, and Olivia can't help but suspect that the regent is preparing for a new war.

"who?"

Suddenly, Olivia turned her gaze and looked at the space behind her vigilantly, but all she saw was nothingness.

Olivia became completely vigilant. At a certain moment, Olivia noticed that a pair of eyes had seen through her disguise and landed on her. But when she followed her eyes back, But found nothing.

Illusion?

Olivia couldn't help but doubt herself, but after a brief confusion, Olivia once again confirmed her idea that there was something nearby, some unknown entity, good and evil.

The shadow surrounding her body solidified a little more, and Olivia completely dived into the shadow, completely transforming herself into a dark snake, and pounced in the direction of the smell of blood.

Shortly after Olivia disappeared, a figure began to squirm and appear in the void.

Church looked expressionlessly in the direction Olivia was leaving. After thinking for a few seconds, he decisively opened the suitcase he had been carrying and took out an ancient and luxurious rifle with a long barrel. Carved with strange inscriptions, the complex mechanical structure trembled slightly, as if this firearm had vitality.

Even though Church was so calm, his breathing became a little faster the moment he held the gun. Fortunately, Church had used a replica of this gun before, the gun named Chekhov's. It was a replica of a gun, so even though he was under great pressure, Church's mood was somewhat relieved when his fingertips were on the trigger.

"The established gun."

Church flicked the barrel of the gun and called out the name of the rifle. Even now, Church still had a dreamy and unreal feeling. He couldn't believe that the decision-making room actually allowed him to use this gun... to execute that The most critical assassination.

"And you, a second chance."

Church's eyes fell back into the suitcase again. In addition to this fatal and established gun, the decision-making room also assigned him another prop.

A nearly withered fruit with a face of pain carved on it.

This is the Utopia Seed recovered by Bologger and Holt in the Hidden Land, but it is different from the complete Utopia Seed in the conventional sense. This one was peeled off from the Speaker. The power was weakened by several percent, but for Church's assassination, this was enough.

After arranging his own weapons, Church's own secret power further expanded, and the strength of the ether also increased.

Those who condense, those who pray... those who bear power.

Church has always been an inconspicuous and unknown existence, so almost no one noticed that at some point, Church was promoted to a person with power.

Church liked the feeling of not being noticed. For an assassin, this was the perfect disguise.

His own sense of existence was constantly stripped away, so much so that the concept of self-existence completely disappeared from the real world. Church once again became a walker in the narrow space, walking through the gaps in the cognitive world, closely following Olivia. He knew that Olivia would lead him to the most valuable goal.

Since her suspicion just now, Olivia quickened her pace. After she was completely far away from the area just now, her hanging heart was relieved a lot. At the same time, she also went deep into the square and caught a glimpse of the boundless vastness. corpse.

Waves of horrifying roars came from behind the corpse mountain and the sea of ​​blood, and the figure covered with thorns and vines could be vaguely seen, roaring in pain.

The Night Tribes tried their best to resist the pressure of the monsters, waving their spears and driving away the Blood People. After long-distance transportation, the Blood People were released from the prison cars and concentrated on the other side of the Butcher's Pit.

Every once in a while, the Night Clan will select some unlucky ghosts from the blood people. Some are directly converted into bloodthirsty people, and some are thrown into the Butcher's Pit to perform blood sacrifices for the brutal power.

Such a terrifying scene was like a steel needle, piercing into Olivia's heart. She couldn't help but retching, as if she wanted to vomit out all her sinful blood.

Olivia couldn't do it. She was born into the Night Clan and carried a heavy burden of original sin.

At this moment, the huge feeling of powerlessness and guilt once again seized Olivia. She had no ability to kill the monsters in the Butcher's Pit, nor could she save all the blood people. She could only force herself to forget these and turn her gaze again. Once placed on the Origin Tower.

As long as the dark iron curtain is destroyed, when the sun shines, all lives will be saved.

Olivia tried not to look at the cruel scene. She strode towards the Origin Tower without looking back.

In the corner where Olivia couldn't see, Wei Er was working hard to carve the complex alchemical matrix. It had been a while since she had carved this thing. The whole cat had a lot of births on her hands, not to mention the eternal night. The distance between the land and the Undead Club was too long. This series of complex factors made Weier's work efficiency much slower.

Similarly, neither Olivia nor Weir noticed that among the imprisoned blood people, in the dark and damp dilapidated building.

Melissa hugged her knees, rolled herself into a ball, and huddled in the corner of the room. At this time, everyone looked frightened, but Melissa looked very relaxed.

This is the first time that Melissa has gathered together with so many people, and everyone is in harmony. There is no need to beat each other to the head over supplies or anything, the body temperature of each other is warm, and the breathing overlaps. This is the first time for Melissa. Feeling such a comfortable environment, she lowered her head and looked drowsy.

No, can't sleep yet.

Melissa steeled herself, looked at the old man beside her, and asked curiously, "So, there is a huge crack in the center of Oath City Opos?"

The old man said, "Yes, there is a huge crack. Whenever it is foggy in the morning, the sunlight falls into the crack, creating a beautiful scene."

"Sunlight……"

Melissa was fascinated and fantasizing.

The sun falls on the skin and shines in the eyes, the warm ground and warm sand.

Seeing her expectant look, the old man's voice softened and he whispered, "Do you really want to see the sun? Melissa."

"Of course," Melissa paused and said firmly, "As long as I can see the legendary sun, I will pay any price."

"Well...are you sure that any price is acceptable?"

Melissa emphasized again, "Of course!"

The old man fell silent, seeming to be thinking about a very complicated matter. After a few minutes, he asked again.

"What if this wish requires you to sacrifice your soul?"
