Endless Debt

The sky in Opos still looks gloomy. Even if the sun sets, it only adds a little orange light to this gloomy sky, like a fire burning in the clouds.

Boluogo was not in a hurry to go home. Instead, he sat on the steps at the bottom of the building, hugging his knees with his hands and looking up at the sky.

He remembered that he was like this when he was a child. When he was bored, he would sit in the grassland near his home and stare at the sky in a daze until nightfall.

Boluogo liked that feeling very much, and his restless heart rarely calmed down under the gentle breeze.

Unfortunately, this is Opos, no longer the familiar pasture. There are roaring machines everywhere, and the rising and overflowing haze is blurred into large swaths of light.

Boluogo's heart couldn't calm down, and memories of the past kept crashing in his mind.

He began to understand the story of "The Prowling Rat". Codenin said it was based on himself. Now it seems that he was not lying, but he just did not tell the whole truth.

Recalling his previous exchanges with Kedening, Boluogo became angry and began to wonder, what on earth was Kedening thinking...

He still remembered what Kedening said.

God does not exist, but the evil people should also be longing for the moment when punishment comes. At the end of their lives, they can finally stop fleeing and calmly accept the arrival of peace.

Boluogo began to wonder, Kedening, are you sincere? Or is it one of your many disguises? Bologo also understands that each of these actors is a master of disguise. After all, their job is to become another person to deceive the audience and integrate into the story.

Forget it, Bologo thought, no matter whether Kedening was telling the truth or a lie, it would not change the outcome of all this.

Some things were doomed from the beginning.

If it is true, then it will be up to Bologo to bring him peace. If it is a lie, it will be up to Bologo to punish him.

Burlogo has always been like this, he will not let anyone on the list go.

"Bologo?"

A hesitant voice sounded from the front, and Boluogo broke away from his thoughts and looked at the man in front of him.

A man who surprised Boluogo appeared in front of him. He had white hair and a face full of wrinkles, but from this old face, Boluogo could still feel a little familiar, just like The afterimage of someone was engraved on his body.

"Lawson?"

In any case, Boluogo never expected to see Lawson here today, let alone that such a thing would happen today.

For a moment, he was afraid to look at Lawson. Although Lawson knew nothing, Boluogo felt an unknown guilt welling up in his heart, scratching at his heart like sharp claws.

"Hey, are you surprised? Boluogo."

Lawson was carrying a suitcase in his hand. It looked like it contained a lot of things, and it looked heavy.

Looking at Boluogo and then at the building behind him, Lawson smiled and said, "It's really hard to find your place."

"Shenbei District is like this. It doesn't feel much different from the suburbs."

Boluogo stood up, smiled as much as possible and said, "Why are you here."

"I'm giving you something. After my mother passed away, we sorted out a lot of her belongings. We didn't know what to do with them and wanted to throw them away."

Lawson held the suitcase in front of him, recalling Burlogo's angry appearance in his mind.

"I still remember that you were furious at the time. If these things that belonged to her were thrown away like this, it would be like she died again... So I spent a lot of time sorting these things, and I found that there are some things that she wanted to leave to you. of."

"Leave it to me?"

Boluogo was a little at a loss.

"Well, yes, it's left to you," Lawson hesitated, but still said with certainty, "Although my mother didn't leave any will, I think this is what was left to you. If I keep it privately, she He should be very angry.”

Lawson said something that Boluogo couldn't understand, and handed the suitcase to Boluogo with certainty. Boluogo didn't hesitate. He took the suitcase. It was heavier than he expected. It was like a load of cargo inside. Another world.

"Want to go up and sit down?" Boluogo asked.

"No, I'm in a hurry. I'm leaving Opos tonight." Lawson said.

"Leave...Opos?"

"Yes, I have wanted to move away from this city for a long time. My children all live in other places. It's just that my mother didn't want to leave, so I stayed here with her until the end. Now that my mother has passed away, there is no restraint here. It’s mine.”

Lawson spoke calmly.

"But don't worry, I will still come back to see my mother every year. Then we can get together and talk about what happened recently."

"OK, all right."

Boluogo didn't know what to say. He was not good at facing Lawson from the beginning. There were too many things that he didn't know how to explain to him.

"You look a little bad, have you encountered anything troublesome?"

Lawson looked at Boluogo carefully and could feel that Boluogo's mental state was a little bad.

"Fortunately, it's nothing." Boluogo replied casually.

Seeing this, Lawson didn't know what to ask. The conversation between the two fell into a brief silence. Lawson's eyes wandered around. After hesitating for a long time, he spoke again.

"Sorry, Bologg."

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"I have to admit, I was prejudiced against you before. I thought you were a young man with evil intentions. I have seen too many people like you."

Lawson's eyes fell on the suitcase. The contents of the suitcase changed his perception and shocked him.

"It's hard to admit your mistakes, but after thinking about it for a long time, I still feel that I need to see you and hand these things over to you. This matter is very important. At least my mother thinks it is very important."

Looking at those blue eyes, Lawson felt pressure for a long time. That kind of pressure from the heart. He can be regarded as an old guy. He has experienced all kinds of things in life, but at this moment facing Boluogo, he felt I feel like a toddler who knows nothing about this world.

"I don't know what happened to you, Borrogo."

Now thinking back on what he saw, Lawson felt panicked. He wanted to call the police at that time, but what should he say after calling the police? I saw a monster, but who would believe it?

Lawson forced himself to calm down. In his uneasiness, he read the things Adele left behind and made the choice he should make based on the contents.

"I was really shocked when I saw those things," Lawson smiled bitterly. "I really don't know how to face you, and I don't know who you are, a human? Or a monster."

Boluogo understood what Lawson was talking about, and he replied calmly.

"Human, at least I consider myself human."

Lawson didn't comment much on this. He skipped the topic and continued.

"Anyway, no matter who you are, my mother still chooses to accept you. This is the kind of person she is. She wants to use her kindness to warm all the people who are suffering.

I think if my mother was still alive, she would still do this. I would always be right to follow her direction. "

Stretching out his hand, there was a stalemate, but Lawson still put his hand on Boluogo's shoulder and patted it lightly a few times.

"These things are really precious to me, but from my mother's point of view, you seem to need them more than I do."

Lawson instructed.

"Take good care of these things. This is what she left for you."

After saying all this, Lawson left. Boluogo wanted to send him off, but he declined. In fact, Boluogo also understood that he and Lawson still couldn't get along.

He still remembered the first time he and Lawson met. At that time, Bologna was sleeping on the sofa of Adele's house. Lawson beat himself with a mop and shouted something like "thief"!

If you think about it, it was quite interesting back then, but nothing can go back.

Looking down at this mysterious suitcase, Bologo's restless mood calmed down a little when he thought that it was what Adele had left for him.

He returned to his home with his suitcase, sat back on the sofa, moved the low table next to him, and placed the suitcase on it.

Press the buckle and the suitcase opens with a sound.

There were no spring dolls that popped out suddenly, and there were no fireworks or ribbons. This was not a surprise, just a plain gift.

Boluogo rummaged through it briefly and found several thick books, a half-knitted sweater, an old small box, a few yellowed group photos, and a necklace.

There was a ring surrounding the cross, and Bologna remembered the necklace as a coming-of-age gift from Adele and one she had worn ever since.

When he lived at Adele's house, Borlogo could often see Adele holding a cross and praying in a low voice.

When I picked up this necklace, it was strange. There was no cold feeling of metal, but it was very warm, as if it had just been taken off the neck.

Boluogo gently rubbed the metal surface, and it was polished until it was as shiny as a mirror.

Putting it aside, Boluogo turned to look at the photos. Under the attack of time, these photos had become blurry and yellowed, but he could still barely see some features in them.

Burlogo easily found Adele among them. She was as young and beautiful as he remembered in the photo.

Opening the old small box, there were some medals inside. These medals were quite old, and most of them were issued during the Scorched Earth Wrath.

Many people who are familiar with Adele know that she is a devout believer, but few people know that this devout believer once participated in that crazy Scorched Earth Wrath.

Even in the midst of the dispute, Adele still adhered to her piety. She did not go into battle to kill the enemy, but served as a medic, saving more people with her own abilities.

Finally, Boluogo looked at the books, randomly selected one and opened it. First there was a line of year and date, and then Adele's signature.

This is her diary.
