Endless Debt

Nearly a month and a half has passed since the timeline chaos incident. Winter is gradually leaving this land, but the oath city Opos still looks gloomy and cold. Fortunately, the citizens have long been accustomed to this.

Time passed little by little, jumping on the calendar, and the date also moved from 1244 to 1245 in the Rhenish calendar.

The new year has begun, and in the cold city, everyone is looking forward to it. This is the end of winter, and warm spring is just around the corner.

In the sublimation furnace core, Bologg sat on a chair in the corridor, and next to him sat Aimu. Since Aimu joined the special operations team, Bologg has been taking her on missions during this period. The intensity of the mission It's not that high, it's basically just small tasks chasing demons.

Oath City Opos is under the control of the Bureau of Order. Fatal events do not happen every day in this city. After killing demons for several weeks, Aimu's initial enthusiasm for work gradually declined. Come down.

Just like many employees in the workplace, Aimu gets up sleepily every day, clocks in, and patrols his area of ​​responsibility to see if anyone who is desperate for his life has come out to commit trouble.

There were some twists and turns in the middle, but with Boluogo here, everything was smoothed out, and in short, things were moving in the right direction.

With the addition of Aimu, she also filled the role of communication between the special operations team and the sublimation furnace core. Relying on Aimu's close reputation with Bailey, Jeffrey was finally relieved and no longer had to deal with those guys.

Daily life calmed down and the days passed by until today.

Boluogo glanced at Aimu beside him, and then looked around. At this moment, the corridor was full of people, and the originally wide space became unexpectedly narrow.

Originally, this matter was only related to the Special Operations Group, and the presence of members of the Special Operations Group was enough, but maybe because Palmer had a wide range of friends, members of other Operations Groups also joined in.

Bologg and Aimu were sitting on chairs. Next to them was the tall Hart. Opposite Hart was a strange and familiar face. If the other party hadn't taken the initiative to greet him, Bologg would have even Can't recognize him.

This strange yet familiar face is named Church. Bologg remembers him. He is affiliated with the Crow's Nest and is Palmer's former partner. Bologg met him once during the raid against the Homophiles.

Burlogo had a rough impression of Church, but most of it came from Palmer's words.

Church is good at infiltration, and relying on the power of his own secret power, he needs to talk to his enemies to understand their psychological conditions and past experiences.

Thinking back on it now, Burlogo thought Church was like some kind of killer with strange quirks.

"I felt like we were a bunch of anxious husbands waiting outside the ward for Palmer to go into labor."

In the long silence, Hart broke the silence first, but his words made the already silent atmosphere even heavier.

Aimu and Church looked at Hart as if they had seen a ghost, not knowing what the hell this guy was talking about. On the contrary, Boluogo smiled silently. He liked Hart's bad joke.

"How long will it take? He won't die inside."

Boluogo said, he also felt that the atmosphere was too bad, as if several people were waiting for the news of Palmer's death. Today was an important day, and everyone should be happy.

"Dead inside? It's not impossible given his luck," Church nodded in agreement, "Anyway, whether it succeeds or fails, it's a good thing for me."

"Does this person have any personal grudge against Palmer?"

Hart heard Church's answer and murmured to Burlogo, with concern in his eyes. If necessary, Hart seemed willing to help Palmer and stop this hostile stranger.

Because of his animalistic appearance, Hart has lived in the Bureau of Order for many years. Even if he needs to go out for action, he will wear thick clothes to cover his appearance.

He hadn't gone out for a walk in many years, and he was somewhat autistic. After knowing this, Palmer enthusiastically took Hart to a bar, a bar that could accept him.

Sere expressed great fondness for this new furry friend, and the other one who loved Hart even more was Weier. For this large furry, Weier even had the idea of ​​using him as a nest.

After going back and forth, Hart and Palmer became familiar with each other, and they drank together every day.

"He is Church, Palmer's former partner," Burlogo introduced. "Because of Palmer's gift, he often followed Palmer in misfortune. Over time,..."

After listening to Burlogo's story, Hart looked at Church with a little more sympathy and understanding.

Qiu Qi was confused by this damn look and didn't know what to say for a moment. Both of them seemed to pity him.

Church tried hard not to pay attention to those weird looks, and turned to Boluogo and said, "I didn't expect you to still remember me?"

"I have some impressions," Boluogo looked at Church carefully, "but I feel like you have changed a lot since the last time I saw you... I can't tell you."

Boluogo could detect something strange about Church. He didn't feel this way when they first met, but as the two met for the second time, this abnormal feeling became more and more obvious.

He vaguely felt that Church was definitely not the same face he saw the last time. At least there was a certain difference from the face in front of him. Apart from the differences, the only similarity made Boluogo recognize it. Church's identity, if these similarities also disappeared, Boluogo would really not dare to confirm Church's identity.

Faceless Man.

Burlogo suddenly remembered what Palmer had called Church, and he vaguely sensed the meaning behind it.

Church was a little surprised by Bologg's answer. He didn't expect Bologg to be so observant. However, he had no intention of continuing to explain and just smiled in a friendly manner.

Boluogo said, "It seems that you don't hate Palmer very much, otherwise you wouldn't be here."

"Palmer was my former partner after all. Before he became a debtor, he was quite a good person."

Church said and looked at the closed door at the end of the corridor.

"I think your description is quite appropriate," Church said to Hart, "This place really looks like the entrance to the operating room."

Everyone was silent for a few seconds and laughed in unison. Aimu was caught in the middle and had no idea what these people were talking about. Their conversation was like an encrypted call.

Waves of etheric fluctuations came from behind the closed door. Several people stopped laughing and looked at the door nervously, expecting something.

After waiting for a few minutes, the closed door was pushed open, and a figure staggered out, covered in sweat and looking exhausted, as if he had just finished a marathon.

His body was exhausted, but his spirit was very high. There was a bright color in his eyes. After seeing Boluogo and others, he tried hard to mobilize his only strength and jumped up and cheered on the spot.

"Ha! Success!"

Palmer yelled at several people, then sprinted over.

Burlogo dodged sideways, while Church leaned against the wall with a look of disgust on his face. Only Hart stood there at a loss, and then Palmer bumped into Hart's body, and the two of them were holding each other's shoulders.

It was said that it was an arm around the shoulders, but Hart's body was too big. It was more like Palmer hugged Hart's neck and hung himself on Hart's body.

"Get a hold of yourself!" Hart yelled, tearing Palmer off his body.

Hart still didn't get along with Palmer for long, so Bologna and Church would have been wary of Palmer's crazy behavior.

"Ha ha!"

Palmer just laughed and was pinned down on the chair by Hart. He was like an over-excited dog that wanted to lick everyone he saw.

Then Palmer turned his head and saw a vigilant Aimu. The two looked at each other. Aimu silently raised his fists, his flesh and blood transformed into steel, and the dark metal exuded a cold... color.

After Aimu joined the special operations team, Boluogo conducted a round of comprehensive training for Aimu, allowing her to receive complete combat training.

Palmer swallowed, and when he saw Church, he walked over with a smile, "I knew you would definitely come, good brother!"

Church ducked out of the way, and Palmer's hand was thrown away, "I'm just thinking about the past friendship."

Palmer didn't care about Church's indifference. He came closer and said, "I understand you very well, good partner. You are cold on the outside and hot on the inside."

Palmer was so mean, and Bologo couldn't stand it anymore, so he grabbed his shoulders and controlled him.

"So what's the outcome?"

"I'm jumping around now, what do you think?"

Palmer said to Bologg, and then a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and a breeze emerged in the corridor. Just when Bologg was confused, he suddenly felt a sense of suffocation, and then a strong pressure came from Coming from all directions.

The strange feeling only lasted for a moment, and as the light in Palmer's eyes dissipated, all the abnormalities disappeared.

"Now I am also a believer."

Palmer completed the promotion ceremony and became a believer on the occasion of the arrival of warm spring.
