Endless Debt

Bologna and Aimu are like two conspirators, planning dreamlike scenarios for each other, but the movement of the world is not determined by the will of the two. While they are carefully preparing all kinds of romance and poetry, the world is heading towards madness and insanity. The order takes great strides forward.

The world is in turmoil, but life remains the same.

Boluogo opened his eyes tiredly, and what he saw was not the familiar ceiling, nor the huge floor-to-ceiling windows beside him, let alone the dim white light behind the curtains.

"ah……"

Boluogo groaned meaninglessly, propped himself up, and sat up on the narrow single bed.

This is not Boluogo's bedroom, at least not the one where Boluogo usually sleeps. The surrounding area is dark and the space is closed. Apart from the single bed, there is only a small shower room. It is better to say that the decoration is simple. It is poverty and hardship.

Boluogo rubbed his head vigorously. It had been three or four days since he killed the Throat of the Abyss. After a day of rest, Boluogo returned to work, and where he is now, Obviously, it was the small single room in his office.

There are no windows to the outside in the room, and the same is true for this single room. The exhaust fan buzzes like countless flies flying around the ears.

It was trying hard to promote the flow of fresh air, but Boluogo still felt a heavy feeling in his chest, almost out of breath, as if there was a lead weight pressing on his heart, and even the blood flow slowed down.

Getting up from the warm bed, Boluogo stood on the only open space, moved his body briefly, mobilized his muscles, and then walked into the shower room. The slightly cold water rushed over his sleepy body, making him feel Consciousness gradually becomes clearer and sharper.

What happened after that was very simple. Just like usual, he washed, dressed, and tidied up his appearance. As if he was going to a grand ceremony, Boluogo took a deep breath and opened the door.

The complicated office scene suddenly came into view. Documents of different sizes were piled up like hills, forming huge piles of paper, silently telling the heavy work and pressure.

In the corner, the shredder was humming and working, busily swallowing large pieces of shredded paper. Its movements were mechanically repetitive, like workers on an assembly line, tirelessly completing their tasks.

Freyas, these hard-working and loyal assistants, are shuttled in every corner of the office. Normally, they are full of energy and energetic, but now every Freya has a drooped face, as if the next second , they will dissipate in the air like real ghosts.

"Good morning, everyone."

Boluogo tried his best to smile and greeted Freya and the others.

The Freyas glanced at each other, some Freya signaled with tired eyes, some Freya nodded decadently, and some Freya weakly responded.

It’s hard to imagine that a group consciousness will have a tiring day.

A Freya floated over and pointed at several documents on the table, "You finally woke up. Yesterday's work has been almost finished."

"Thank you so much."

Boluogo bowed very sincerely.

He sincerely thanked Freya and the others. As the top authority of the Bureau of Order, Boluogo had to deal with too many things in one day, even if these incidents had gone through rounds of screening by the Logistics Department.

The existence of Freya has greatly reduced Bologg's work pressure. They have a set of incident evaluation standards that are still being tested. When the incident is not of a high level, they will make decisions on their own for Bologg. Some things they cannot The important matters that were decided were handed over to Boluogo's hands, along with Freya's opinions on how to deal with them.

In addition, as the Great Rift unfolds, the world is heading towards a year of turmoil, with extraordinary events happening every minute and every second around the world.

Boluogo needs to grasp the overall information in real time, but it is still too difficult for him to understand the mountain of intelligence in one go.

For this reason, Freya's screening mechanism works again. They will browse the information for Bologg first, eliminate the useless nonsense, refine the important information, and then present it to Bologg's eyes one by one.

So the documents that were piled high were reduced to a thin pile after refining, and Bologg could read them all in one morning.

Thank you, thank you very much.

Freyas are not interested in Bologo's thanks. They are too tired. When working individually, they still handle it independently. When exchanging information on a large scale, they will transform into a group consciousness and carry out extremely efficient coordination and coordination. Adjustment.

"goodbye."

The Freyas waved their hands and sank into the ground one by one. A few seconds later, a new batch of Freyas sank from the ceiling. As they descended, a rumble came from the copper tubes of the air flow, and another wave of The batch file was passed over.

"Thank you."

Boluogo said hello to this new batch of Freyas, and they nodded. This group of Freyas were full of energy and organized documents for Boluogo.

A busy day began. Bologg picked up the refined documents on his desk and called Freya to take him away. Then darkness enveloped Bologg. After a short period of darkness, Bologg's figure appeared in the field department. in the canteen.

The aroma of delicious food hit him, and Boluogo instinctively felt a sour taste in his mouth.

After rounds of expansion, the number of field staff is now much larger than before, which makes the usually cold canteen become bustling.

The employees were either in a hurry or leisurely. They walked past in the canteen, talking to each other in low voices, sharing funny jokes or the content of their work.

In the lively canteen, the sober style of the field department has weakened a lot. The field staff have temporarily put aside the pressure of work and the worries of life, enjoying the joy and relaxation brought by the delicious food, and a moment of tranquility.

The undead also need to eat.

Bologg was queuing up in front of the window. A field employee noticed Bologg's presence. He looked stunned. After a brief shock, he regained his composure, but Bologg could notice that he was still looking at him from the corner of his eyes. Hold yourself.

There are many eyes looking at me.

Boluogo sighed in his heart. He didn't like this sensation of attention, but he also didn't like those luxurious and meaningless privileged services.

In personal life, Nathaniel and Bologo are two extremes. Nathaniel is like a fatuous king who only cares about enjoyment, while Bologo is a believer who enjoys asceticism.

Boluogo felt that he did not need to listen to all Nethanil's advice. There was no contradiction in maintaining a sense of mystery and power and standing among the crowd.

Picking up the plate, Bologo found a seat and sat down casually. His breakfast was very simple, consisting of a cup of coffee, a sandwich and mashed potatoes with gravy.

In terms of diet, Boluogo is also very light, completely different from the greasy guy like Palmer who can't wait to eat barbecue when he wakes up in the morning.

Speaking of Palmer, Boluogo hasn't seen much of him in the past few days. After recovering the body of Yanyan Maw, he took charge of the security issues of Oath City Opos.

A basekeeper is responsible for security issues, which sounds like a trivial matter. You know, when Burlogo and Palmer first partnered, their job was to patrol and maintain security.

Today is different from the past. When Bologo first started working, there was no such big crack in the sky.

The tree of light that shines divinely and is also the beginning of destruction.

The Great Rift has been standing for nearly a week. It stands majestic and mysterious in the far north. Although its etheric influence on reality has not yet directly touched Oath City Opos, the peace of the city has been quietly broken.

Intelligence shows that more and more cult groups are beginning to take advantage of this mysterious phenomenon. They claim that it is a miracle from their gods to deceive and deceive ordinary people. These groups are spreading in the shadows of the city, surging like an undercurrent. , quietly eroding social stability.

At the same time, various rumors spread rapidly in the city. People were talking about it and were full of curiosity and panic about the emergence of the Great Rift. Some radio programs even began to try to entertain this mysterious phenomenon to attract listeners. attention, but invisibly aggravated social unrest.

Under the seemingly stable order, there are actually undercurrents.

In this severe situation, Palmer, as the defender, was responsible for the order and security of Oath City Opos. With the power of the Wind Road, Palmer freely traveled through the high air, like a suspended A sentinel in the sky.

Burlogo understood that Palmer's function did not stop there. When the city gradually fell into turmoil, enemies would also take advantage of it.

Boluogo took a sip of coffee, which tasted slightly bitter, and then he opened the document prepared by Freya for him. The first page he entered was the information from the Hazama Kingdoms.

The Hazama Kingdom, a region with a unique geographical location, was flanked by the two major forces, the Rhine League and the Kogadel Empire, but miraculously maintained its independence. They are not truly autonomous states, but carefully designed buffer zones between the two powers to ease tensions between them and prevent direct military conflict.

However, since the fall of the Holy City, this fragile balance has been completely broken. The battle between the Rhine Alliance and the Kogadel Empire has gradually become more intense. After the Secret War, the King's Secret Swords were expelled from the Oath City Opos, and the narrow The countries in the intervening period have completely become the focus of competition.

Extraordinary disasters and regional extraordinary conflicts occur frequently in this land, and as the Great Rift unfolds, the situation becomes even worse. It intensified the turmoil and chaos in the Hazama countries.

Boluogo read the document with a headache. Fortunately, within the Kogadel Empire, a series of wars were breaking out due to Xilin. The King's Secret Sword was temporarily unable to deal with the Order Bureau. Otherwise, these powerful enemies would definitely find ways to cross the narrow border. The various countries in the world caused turmoil in the Oath City Opos.

It's not just the Hazama Kingdoms and the Oath City Opos that are in danger.

In Boluogo's view, the entire human world contains crises and may be swallowed up by fire at any time and fall into the abyss of chaos and destruction.

"Good morning, Burlogo."

A familiar voice interrupted Bologg's thoughts. Bologg raised his head. It was Kemp, Hart and others.

Kemp joked, "I didn't expect to meet you here. Why, don't the Glorious Ones have their own high-end restaurant?"

"No," Boluogo added to the joke, "We all have dedicated chefs and deliver them directly to the office."

Kemp sat down with a helpless expression, "I shouldn't be joking with you."

"Why, were you hurt in turn?"

Boluogo put down his fork with a smile on his face. In daily life, Boluogo was a very easy-going person, and his status as a Glorious One had not changed at all.

Kemp sighed, "Oh."

"Work hard, Kemp," Shelley sat next to Kemp and nudged him with her elbow. "Even if you are not a glorious person, it would be better to be promoted to a person with authority."

In order to cope with the potential war, the Field Service Department has carried out rounds of recruitment expansion. The previously rigorous promotion application has become much easier. Some field staff who have been working for many years have recently been promoted.

Boluogo asked with concern, "You look very tired. What's wrong?"

Kemp covered his face and sighed, "What else could be the reason? That big crack."

Only by understanding the enemy can we defeat the enemy. Therefore, this time the Bureau of Order did not keep the previous intelligence secret. It may be that this kind of strange phenomenon in the world cannot be kept secret even if it wants to.

The Bureau of Order has communicated the information about the Great Rift to its staff. However, due to the possibility of doomsday, the Bureau of Order chose to conceal it in order to avoid large-scale panic.

Bologg agreed with this move. He believed that the employees who could join the Bureau of Order would have the courage to charge towards the doomsday. However, Bologg did not want to test everyone's courage unless it was necessary.

Kemp said distressedly, "You can't imagine how many lunatics we can deal with at night."

Borogo then looked at Hart. Hart's tall and plush body was particularly visible, and the sandwich was like a mini in his hand.

After biting down most of it, Hart said vaguely, "I don't have anything to do. I just take care of Freyas on a daily basis."

Freya was affected by the extraordinary disaster and the upside-down world, and her perception of the world was completely distorted. In her eyes, every employee was a walking monster, except for Hart.

The beast-like Hart unexpectedly took on a human form in the eyes of Freya, which made Freya cry with joy. For these reasons, Freya and Hart were particularly close, and over time, Hart also gradually broke away. The work of the riot control action team was turned into responsible for the maintenance and operation of the Freyas.

"If there's anything wrong, it's that the Freyas screamed collectively a while ago," Hart said with a distressed look on his face. "I asked them what happened, but they didn't tell me. They checked several times and found nothing. No problem.”

Boluogo's smile stiffened, and the muscles on his face were full of unnaturalness.

"What about you, Bologo, how are you doing?"

Several people looked at Boluogo together, their eyes full of concern.

"I'm fine," Boluogo lied out of habit. "Now I'm more or less the boss, and you guys are employees. That's great."

This joke failed to make everyone laugh. In fact, they also understood that Boluo Ge had become a Glorious One, and the responsibilities he shouldered were far beyond their imagination. This could be seen from the execution of the Throat of Tun Yuan.

They believed that Boluogo must also have troubles, but his troubles could not and could not be told to them, not only because of confidentiality regulations, but also to avoid their anxiety and panic.

Yes, before knowing the crisis of annihilation for those at the level of Kemp and Shelley, they can do nothing except helpless fear.

The conversation became a little depressed, and Boluogo took the initiative to break the situation.

"You guys eat first, I have other things to do."

Boluogo picked up the documents, picked up the dinner plate, smiled and gestured, and then left everyone.

When walking out of the cafeteria, Boluogo brought another cup of coffee. He didn't like drinking this kind of thing, but like a kind of psychological comfort, Boluogo gradually felt that as long as he drank this thing, he could get excited. Spirit.

My own office is a bit too dark and depressing. It would be even more troublesome to apply for a new office in the decision-making room and wait for the office to be redeveloped and renovated.

Boluogo set out for the observation tower. This huge and open rooftop was one of the few places in the Bureau of Order where one could catch a glimpse of the sun. Not to mention, it reached straight into the sky and allowed one to see beautiful scenery that ordinary people could not imagine.

In the past, the observation tower was a holy place for many employees to rest. Whenever they had a break from work, they would gather under the glass dome and stand on the edge, overlooking the scene below.

The dense clouds are like an endless ocean, and under the cover of these dense clouds, the majestic city cluster is looming, like a wonder in an illusion.

The staff were chatting in low voices or staring alone, enjoying this rare quiet time. However, as the work became heavier and the pressure increased day by day, fewer and fewer people came to rest here, and the observation tower also lost the hustle and bustle of the past. lively.

Bologg was sitting on a bench at the edge. From this position, he could directly see his apartment building. Bologg couldn't help but dream about whether he could land accurately on the rooftop of the apartment if he fell freely from the observation tower.

Although there are far fewer people coming here to rest, you can still see scattered figures. It is not clear whether it is during the morning working time that everyone is still working hard, or whether everyone has discovered Boluogo, and with awe, he deliberately The earth distanced itself from this legendary existence.

There was only one person in this small area, Bologg. Bologg was used to this feeling, just like a school of fish deliberately avoiding sharks. He crossed his legs, took a sip of coffee, and continued to flip through the documents.

After the gradual improvement of his own power, the proportion of fighting in Boluogo's daily work gradually decreased. Most of the time, there were no real swords or guns, nor dead bodies and blood, but just endless battles. meetings and document review.

This is true, if a glorious person goes out on the field every day, then the world is really in danger.

After turning over another page of documents, Boluogo's eyes gradually became serious.

This is information from Nathaniel. The rescue team he led arrived at the ridge of the mountains two days ago and joined the Klex family in the rescue of the mountains family.

"What can be confirmed so far is that the Apex Palace and all traces left by the Gunshan Family in the material world have completely disappeared into the etheric world."

This was a sentence spoken by Nethanil himself, which was recorded in the document, and matching it was a photo.

Among the snow-capped mountains, the ridges of the once majestic and towering mountains suddenly disappeared. It was as if the entire mountain had never existed before, leaving only a huge and terrifying place in its place. Cross-section.

The cross-section has a radius of several kilometers and is uneven, like an exposed internal anatomy of the mountain. On it, the veins of the mountain are clearly visible, as if the texture of nature has been ruthlessly cut open and displayed in front of the world.

Since a few days have passed since the incident, the cross section has been covered with layers of new snow, as if nature is trying to cover up this sudden trauma with its pure whiteness.

However, even under this pure white cover, you can still vaguely see the traces left by the battle - the charred trees, cracked rocks, and the sword marks and cannon holes deep into the mountain, all silently It tells the story of the tragic battles that took place here.

Boluogo continued to look down, knowing the source of the battle traces.

"After the ridge of the mountains fell into the etheric realm, the Gunshan family successfully evacuated a large number of people from the etheric realm after successive battles. During the evacuation process, they suffered an extraordinary disaster, the Eternal Corruption, and this extraordinary disaster also caused Along the great rift, it spread into the material world.”

This information corresponded one-to-one with what Levan said in Boluogo's memory. Levan and several other defenders successfully evacuated with their tribesmen. After confirming safety, Levan returned to the ethereal realm alone. And met Bologo.

Thinking of the naked, muscular man, Bologo felt a faint guilt in his heart. The battle at that time was too fierce, and Bologo had no energy to take care of Levan. He hoped that Levan could survive.

“After the Gunshan Family successfully evacuated, the eternal rotten soil is still spreading in the material world. Fortunately, Voen arrived in time and has now cleaned up this extraordinary disaster.

But...the great rift still stands. "

Another photo came into Boluogo's eyes. On that huge and terrifying cross-section, a dazzling tree of light stood upright.

Its appearance is like a miracle in this desolate land covered with snow. It spreads its branches and leaves wantonly, each one shining with dazzling light, as if carrying endless vitality and energy.

Proudly holding up a piece of heaven and earth, the ether poured down from the branches and leaves like a waterfall, permeating the entire cross section. The fluctuations of the ether rippled in the air, creating a brilliant aurora.

"The ether pouring out from the great rift has made the ether concentration on the ridge of the mountains extremely dangerous. In just a few days, the birth of several ether vortex points has been observed. If it continues at this rate, there will be something here at any time. The possibility of further collapse and falling into the ether.

What is even more disturbing is that the Great Rift is connected with the Ether Realm. The devils can launch attacks from within the Ether Realm at will and pass through the Great Rift, thereby affecting reality. "

Boluogo frowned. Vonn solved the extraordinary disaster that overflowed from the great rift, but this does not mean that extraordinary disasters will not emerge from the great rift in the future.

Although the devils are still rejected by the material world and cannot pass through the Great Rift, the various disasters they brew in the etheric world can cross the boundary.

Just like the King's Secret Sword and his group that Boluogo met in the ethereal realm, the incident with the Gunshan Family had just ended, but the dispute over the Great Rift had just begun.

"Nethaniel is preparing to mobilize Holt and his fourth group, the Watchers of Despair, and order them to come and guard the Great Rift to prevent any powerful enemies from raiding the material world from within the Great Rift."

This decision was unexpected by Boluogo. After realizing that the great rift could not be erased for the time being, Boluogo understood that the Bureau of Order must control it, so this job would be done by the fourth group. It couldn't be more appropriate.

As early as a few years ago, the fourth group had been stationed at the desperate outpost in the abandoned land for a long time, guarding the scourge of this world, the herd-devouring beast that enveloped Raymond Gaiton and endured the burning of light. This appointment was entirely up to them. within the professional scope.

But... this will undoubtedly disperse the power of the Bureau of Order. Boluogo can't help but feel worried, but he also feels relieved when he thinks that beyond the ridge of the mountains is the Fortress of Morrowind.

Under the assignment of Nethanil, a new outpost is being established with the assistance of the Klex family. At the same time, the Klex family is also conducting a new round of reinforcements for the Morrowind Stronghold.

Once the outpost is breached, Morrowind Bastion will become the frontline of the war.

The expansion of the Great Rift concerns everyone in the world. Therefore, after arriving at the ridge of the mountains, Nathaniel issued warnings to many extraordinary forces, and various violent institutions began to operate efficiently, or for their own benefit. , or for all mankind.

Whether it is the mysterious group hidden from the sight of the world, or the people of Xitao wandering on the sea, almost all extraordinary forces have been mobilized to deal with the increasingly turbulent era.

Boluogo rubbed his eyes tiredly, looked away from the document, and looked at the boundless snow-white sea of ​​clouds.

The observation tower is like the junction between heaven and earth. At this height, the air has become thinner. Fortunately, there is sufficient oxygen transportation in the observation tower, and for the condensers, this level of lack is Oxygen is nothing.

Looking up, the sky shows a deep and mysterious dark blue, like a huge gem inlaid in the sky. Against the dark blue background, the scorching sun hangs high, emitting dazzling light. At the same time, The stars in the distance are also vaguely visible. They are like countless shining diamonds, dotted in the sky, and complement each other with the blazing sun.

Compared to daytime, Boluogo liked the scene here at night better. The stars were clearly visible and extremely brilliant.

After taking a short rest, Bologo read to the end of the document. Among the series of bad news, there was still some good news, such as Levan still alive.

After Boluogo and the Throat of the Abyss escaped from the etheric realm, seeing Leviathan and Mammon acting in earnest, Levan forcibly controlled himself and woke up from the violent drive. At the last moment, he emerged from the Great Rift. Escaped.

When Nathaniel discovered Levan, he was being crushed under layers of snow and unconscious. If it weren't for the fact that Levan was a defender and his body was highly etherified, he would have definitely frozen to death in the snow. Even if he doesn't die, his legs will be amputated due to severe frostbite.

In addition to the good news about Levan, there is also the resettlement of the survivors of the Mountain Family. They have been moved to Morrowind Stronghold. The specific transfer of power and family reconstruction are still being discussed by Nathaniel and Vonn. , this can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune, the Gunshan family did not die.

After the review, Boluogo threw the document into the trash can nearby. The ether passed by silently. In an instant, the document shattered into fine dust, as if it had been cut by thousands of sharp swords, and disappeared like dust. not see.

Freyas once praised Bologo for this method, saying that he is like a super shredder. Even if he loses his job in the future, he can still find a good job at the garbage recycling station.

Boluogo felt that Freya had never been so humorous before, and he didn't know which staff member she learned from.

He stood up and moved his somewhat stiff body. When Boluogo was thinking about which troublesome matter to deal with next, he suddenly noticed a familiar figure appearing not far away.

She noticed Boluogo and trotted over with a smile on her face.

"Ah, you are indeed here."

Aimu said happily. It seemed that she had asked many people along the way to find him.
