Endless Debt

Big cracks, hesitant forks in the road.

On the suspended corridor, Palmer and Bologg stood side by side, looking down at the strange building complex from the top. They were like giant sarcomas growing on the cliff, rising one after another and extending into the mist below.

"Speaking of which, Boluogo, you won't die anyway, why don't you try jumping down?"

Palmer took a can of drink, took a big sip, and then said.

"Why did you jump?"

Boluogo frowned and looked at the drawing in his hand. This was a map of the Great Rift summarized by the Field Service Department. However, the Great Rift was an area with huge depth. The map looked very complicated, and this damn place was updated every day. With the replacement of new generations, no one knows whether the map in hand will be outdated.

"Don't you want to know what's beneath the Great Rift?"

Palmer finished the drink and threw the can into the sea of ​​fog. It was swallowed up by the sea of ​​fog without making any sound.

"No one who jumped into the big rift came back, but you won't die. Maybe you can use this to find out what's underneath," Palmer looked at the sea of ​​fog. "It just so happens that you still have the key to the winding path. If you are lucky enough to find a door, you can go directly back to the Undead Club."

"If you're really curious about what's underneath the Great Rift, you can ask those guys in Group Four."

Burlogo stared at the map. He had no time to pay attention to Palmer's strange words.

In addition to the two people, there is a fourth group in the Great Rift, but this action group is very mysterious and has been stationed in the Great Rift for a long time. Even people from the field department rarely see them.

I heard some information mentioned by Lebius before. It is said that they established an outpost deep in the Great Rift. Most of the time, the members of the fourth group are active there, which is Bologo's official headquarters. Below, in this rolling sea of ​​fog.

But the Great Rift is too big, and the outpost is too small. These words are just words. If it really falls, no one knows what will happen.

More importantly, what is the purpose of establishing an outpost in this damn place?

Boluogo moved his eyes away from the map and looked at the gray sea of ​​fog below. The fog here was full of poison, but birds could still be seen passing by from time to time, as if they were schools of fish swimming in the sea of ​​fog.

"Come on, Palmer."

Boluogo put away the map, and from this complicated picture, he barely determined the location.

"Where are you going? Looking for trouble with those businessmen?"

Palmer geared up, and the people he was going to beat were either gangsters or demons. For Palmer, it was no challenge at all.

"Just trying these new things."

Palmer was extremely excited and took out the revolver from his waist as he spoke.

After experiencing Bailey's torture, Boluogo returned to the Special Operations Group with a large amount of equipment. According to the two people's different fighting styles, the sublimation furnace core supported different equipment, such as Palmer's new revolver. This piece of alchemy equipment is called "Guan Lei".

The Penetrating Thunder revolver uses large-caliber bullets. Every time the trigger is pulled, the sound of the gun is like thunder. The alchemical matrix effect embedded in it is penetrating, which can greatly enhance the power of the bullet.

Palmer kept looking around to see if any unlucky man would come to his door and let him try out his new gun.

"No, go visit TEDA." Boluogo said.

"Former Minister of Sublimation Furnace Core?" Palmer remembered the name.

"Well, he also lives in the Great Rift, located on the edge of Qiu Shang Town, close to the Wandering Fork Road," Boluogo led the way through the long air corridor, "We need a stronghold, he might be able to help us."

Boluogo thought for a while and then said, "Maybe we can just rent him to stay."

"Treating his home as a base? Is that okay?"

"What's wrong? He left the Bureau of Order and joined the Order of Truth Monks, but it can be seen that he still has contact with the Bureau of Order. There may be some agreements in private. At least within the Great Rift, Tedana is still considered Safety."

This was determined by Boluogo after careful consideration.

"And he is an alchemist, and his home is his alchemy workshop. It is not that simple to gain a foothold in the Great Rift. Maybe there is also some kind of small virtual realm protected there. This is better than digging a cave for us to use as a stronghold. Much safer.”

The Hand of Secret Energy and Recruitment is an expert at digging holes. Bologg was really thinking about digging a complicated cave to use as a stronghold, but Palmer firmly rejected it because he didn't want to become a caveman. .

"Moreover, he is an alchemist and the former minister of the sublimation furnace core. You should understand what I mean, right?" Boluogo stopped and said to Palmer.

"I understand, I understand, this old guy is a rich man. If we rob him if necessary, we will make a lot of money!" Palmer was beaming.

"According to Bailey, that old guy is a man of power."

"But after all, he was once a member of the Bureau of Order. We can't be so absolute, right? Help him out when nothing happens, and maybe we can make some extra money."

There was no trace of embarrassment on Palmer's expression. Everything went smoothly and smoothly, making him a typical example among young men.

…

Passing through the complex buildings along the air corridor, the two gradually left the area of ​​the hesitating fork in the road and headed towards the corner of the big rift. In that direction, there was a small town located in the big rift, which is often mentioned as Qiu. Hurt the town.

Through the thick fog, you can clearly see the appearance of Qiu Shang Town from a distance. Unlike the buildings hanging on the cliffs, Qiu Shang Town is located on a flat piece of land within the Great Fissure. In addition to being a bit gloomy, the whole town is also... Small towns outside are no different.

Qiu Shang Town did not exist within the Great Fissure from the beginning. It was originally located on the edge of the Great Fissure, above the surface. However, during an earthquake, the entire area completely collapsed into the Great Fissure, taking with it the residents. Together.

It was autumn when the incident happened, and people called the Great Rift a scar on the earth. This incident was called the Autumn Scar Incident. After a few years of development, the fallen area formed a small town, which was then called Autumn. Hurt the town.

Compared with the chaotic and disorderly forked roads, Qiu Shang Town is undoubtedly much more orderly. Many ordinary people live here. Qiu Shang Town has large elevators connected to the ground, and there is also a subway running here, which can pass through Qiu Shang. You can reach any area in Opos via the subway station in Shangzhen.

Qiu Shang Town brought a bit of a living person to the Great Rift, and also brought a large amount of supplies. Wandering Chalu also maintained a corresponding tacit understanding. Few people would go to Qiu Shang Town to cause trouble, and the two lived in peace and harmony.

Boluogo also wanted to establish a stronghold in Qiu Shang Town at first, but when he thought about the dangers he might encounter in his subsequent work, and the peace that Qiu Shang Town had finally maintained, Boluogo gave up the idea.

TEDA probably had the same idea as him. He only lived on the edge of Qiushang Town and wandered outside various areas.

"Boluogo, do you have any thoughts about the secret sword?"

Palmer also looked at the Qiushang Town behind the fog from a distance, and then looked at the cliffs in the distance, which were covered with long corridors and stairs, as well as crooked buildings, one after another.

"If he wants to hide in the big rift, it will be too difficult for us to find him."

"He is now alone and completely separated from the organization. No matter what he wants to do, he needs some resources and help," Bologo analyzed rationally. "Who do you think will help him in this big rift?"

"No one can help him in this big gap."

Palmer said that the Bureau of Order has not touched the Great Rift, but this does not mean that the Bureau of Order is not watching the Great Rift.

The reason why the Bureau of Order allows the Great Rift to exist is unclear to Palmer, but one thing that is certain is that the Bureau of Order can completely suppress the Great Rift when necessary, and this means that the Bureau of Order will never allow anyone who has the ability to surpass itself. Controlling power exists in the Great Rift.

Then the remaining forces can only fight in the big rift, and are completely unable to resist the Bureau of Order.

Except for one.

"No, there are still people who can help him. Those people from the Gray Trade Chamber of Commerce, and I think those damn arms dealers don't mind making the Great Rift more chaotic." Bologo had already made a plan, "And that No matter what the Secret Sword wants to do, he needs some supplies. If he finds those merchants, he can catch the Secret Sword."

Palmer nodded in agreement. Bologg was right. The internal power had already been established, but now another force was injected from the outside. No one knew what goods those merchants were bringing.

"I still care a little about Jero's words," Palmer continued, "He said that the merchants brought a mysterious cargo."

"Don't think so much, just wait until you find those businessmen and interrogate them one by one."

Boluogo said as he picked up the map, looked at the map, and then looked at the other end of the fog. He took out the address given by Bailey from his pocket, and the words on it shone with glimmers of light.

"It seems that TEDA's residence is indeed protected by a small virtual realm."

The note in his hand burned, and a subtle power briefly attached to Boluogo's eyes. The hazy fog dissipated, and a twisted corridor nailed to the cliff appeared, which extended into the fog below, faintly visible. You can see the vague outline of the building.

"Let's go, we're here."

Bologo said, putting on a gas mask and walking into the thick fog.
