Endless Debt

Opening his eyes and sitting up, the hazy sleepiness quickly faded from Boluogo's body. He was completely awake and glanced around habitually.

There was nothing unusual in the narrow room. The sea outside the porthole was calm, the sky was cloudless, and the room was relatively quiet. There was a slight sound of running water in the pipes, and there was a faint mechanical noise behind the solid metal plate, as well as in Boluo. Above Ge's head, there was the endless purring sound.

Boluogo got up from the lower bunk, got dressed, and glanced at the upper bunk. Palmer was lying on his side, hugging the quilt tightly, like a koala hugging a tree. He slept soundly and did not wake up at all. signs.

After hesitating for a moment, Borogo gave up the idea of ​​asking Palmer to get up. Palmer had also done a lot in this incident, so it was time to let him rest for a while. Borogo closed the curtains of the porthole for him, and the indoor It got dark.

After walking out of the cabin, Boluogo moved forward along a familiar route. He met some guards on the road. They all looked at Boluogo in awe, while Boluogo pretended not to notice.

Pushing open another heavy door, Boluogo stepped into the living room. He thought he had arrived earlier, but at this moment, there were already many people waiting in the living room.

Boluogo said hello without any fluctuation in his voice, "Hello, everyone."

Jeffrey was sitting on the sofa, with circles of bandages wrapped around his abdomen and gauze on his face. During the battle three days ago, he was besieged by two people in power, Baigull and Hert, and was attacked. Seeing Bai Ou's plan, among the few people, he was the most seriously injured.

The ship's doctors looked worried, but Jeffrey thought it was nothing. In his life, Jeffrey often faced death head-on. Such injuries were not enough to knock him down completely. After initial treatment, Jeffrey died. He has almost recovered, and now he just needs to wait for the wound to heal slowly.

Standing next to Jeffrey was Lebius. The team leader had a gloomy face as always, and his eyes were unfocused. He didn't know where he was looking, let alone what he was thinking.

Two guards from the Xi Tao people stood at the door of the living room. Whenever their eyes fell on Lebius, deep awe appeared in their eyes.

They still remembered the fierce battle on the Hulk Coast three days ago. Lebius easily tore apart the defense line of the Raging Tide Guards. After seizing a assault boat, he faced the violent storm and attacked the Terror offshore. He was alone. Just an army.

The wolves took control of the captain's room. Under the threat of death, everyone would become rational. Under Lebius' forced calmness, the captain rationally talked to the Bureau of Order. The guards did not know what the captain had talked about with the Bureau of Order. , anyway, the operation on the hulk coast was immediately stopped, and they turned to Freeport to rescue the Paradise, which was burned through by the war.

"Order Bureau..."

The guard muttered in a low voice that he had heard about this behemoth entrenched in the Rhine League a long time ago. They possess top-secret knowledge, advanced alchemical matrices, and possess the terrifying Glory Ones.

The glorious one.

Among the people of Xi Tao, the defenders are already the top force, and their number is not too large. The Bureau of Order not only has the glory ones that surpass the defenders, but their alchemy matrix is ​​also advanced than that of Xi Tao. The people and guards could not imagine the power of the glorious one.

In comparison, except for the advantage of crossing the sea, the people of Xitao are completely unable to compare with the Bureau of Order. Even saying that they have the advantage of crossing the sea is only because the Bureau of Order focuses entirely on the confrontation with the King's Secret Sword. , and does not care about the disputes at sea.

A strange pressure pressed on the guard's chest. Apart from trade, the people of Xitao would hardly have any contact with the Bureau of Order. For so many years of working as a guard, this was the first time that he had been so close to these mysterious beings, even though they every Everyone seemed very casual, but there was still a terrible pressure filling the living room.

"Where's Palmer?"

Uriel, who was sitting on the other side, asked. She looked a little haggard, with heavy dark circles on her face.

Uriel has not set foot on a frontal battlefield, but as a communications officer, in order to connect everyone, her secret energy has been under load. This has had a great impact on her spirit and body. She dealt with it three days ago. After everything happened, Uriel fainted directly, and it was not until Bologg pried open the carriage that he woke her up.

"He's still sleeping," said Borogo. "It's not going to be of any use to him anyway, is it?"

After hearing Bologg say this, several people fell silent. It seemed that everyone agreed with the fact that Bologg was Palmer's external brain.

There were knocks on the door, and the door was pushed open a corner. Aimu glanced inside the room. After confirming that she was in the right place, she pushed the door open completely and walked in.

Aimu apologized, "Sorry, I'm a little lost."

"nothing."

A man's voice came from behind Aimu. Aimu turned his head. The captain opened the door and said to several people with a smile.

"As a battleship, the Terror's complex internal layout can effectively limit the enemy's intrusion during gang battles and assist us in counterattacks, just like street fighting."

The captain passed Aimu, crossed his hands in front of him, and stood aside, like everyone else, everyone was waiting for something.

As if to kill time, Boluogo stood up and walked to the porthole, looking in the direction of the Free Port.

When the storm ended, everyone in Freeport saw the ruined docks and the burning Elysium.

After the main battle, the people of Xitao immediately carried out emergency repairs on the Paradise and stopped the sinking trend. However, the Paradise still maintained an inclined angle, like a mountain that was about to collapse.

Then they showed their superb qualities. Some of them rescued some important equipment, supplies and documents, while others carried out a cleansing of the maze-like cruise ship and hunted down the enemies hiding in the corners.

Bodies were thrown out of the wreckage one by one. These people had no idea of ​​disposing of the bodies and threw them directly into the sea to feed the fish.

Bologg was watching this action on the dock. Just as he was sighing at how skilled they were, a strange man walked up to Bologg and explained.

"On the sea, we often encounter situations like this. Practice makes perfect."

Then Bologo learned that this strange man was the captain of the Terror. After communicating with the Order Bureau, the Bureau of Order temporarily borrowed the Terror as a base. The captain invited Bologo and others to board the ship.

The cleanup of the Paradise is not over yet. As for the repair work, I don’t know how long it will take to complete. Fortunately, these have nothing to do with Boluogo and others. They encountered many accidents in the process, but they still succeeded. mission target.

The door to the living room was pushed open again, and a tired figure walked into the room.

"It looks like everyone is here."

Nolen tried to sound energetic, but everyone could see Nolen's depression. He was wrapped with many gauze, and one of his palms disappeared, wrapped in circles of bandages. Lula followed Nolen. Behind Lun, there was compassion and sadness in his eyes.

One incident after another almost crushed Nolen. He had barely slept in the past three days and continued to work at a high intensity despite his injuries. He tried to use busy work to temporarily forget his grief.

Nolen wanted to say something, but as soon as he said the words, his mouth became dull and he couldn't pronounce any syllables. Then Lebius spoke.

"Take us to see Gauld."

Lebius continued, "The next step is to make a plan to see how to bring him back to the Bureau of Order."

Nolen nodded. This was the original intention of gathering here today. He motioned for a few people to follow, and the team left in a mighty manner. Under the leadership of the captain, they bypassed the complicated corridors, passed through several security checks, and pushed through several heavy security checks. 's door.

In the core of Terror, which was protected by layers of virtual realm, they saw Gold lying on the hospital bed, and the chain tightly locked on his wrist. At the end of the chain, the metal cube iron box remained the same as before.

Besides Gold, there was another person in the room. Duva, whose eyes were bloodshot, was squatting in the corner of the room, staring directly at the iron box. Like Nolen, he had not closed his eyes much in the past three days.

There were various tools scattered on the ground. Dewar tried many ways to open the iron box, but all ended in failure.

Borlog called, "Duval."

Dua didn't react at all. He bit his nails frequently. The skin on his fingertips was already broken, scabbed and then broken again. The blood was red, as if he was in a daze, and he was whispering something in his mouth.

"Dua!"

Boluogo shouted again, this time his voice was a little higher, finally waking Dua out of his frenzy.

According to the past, they would never allow Dua and Gauld to be alone, but Dua did prove himself through all the things along the way.

At the end of the Paradise incident, when Jeffrey discovered Duva, Duva was struggling in the sea with Gold in his arms. This guy couldn't swim at all, but he relied on the instinct of biological survival and his respect for the original. Due to the enthusiasm of animals, he just stuck in the water and persisted until several people rescued him.

After landing ashore, Duva could be said to be inseparable from Gauld, and would be with him no matter where he was. Lebius tried to forcefully separate them, but Duva immediately expressed his intention to kill him.

Lebius really considered taking action, even if he did not kill Duva, he would still teach him a lesson, but he was persuaded by Jeffrey. It was difficult for Jeffrey to understand the fanaticism of these seekers of knowledge, but this could not be done. Denied Dewar's rescue at the critical moment.

Duva saved Gauld, although it was by the way, not to mention that Duva was still useful to them. This seeker of knowledge has been studying the composition of this strange iron box and looking for a way to open it.

"I can't open it...I can't open it..."

After seeing a few people, Dua repeatedly said, his voice getting louder, "Damn it, I can't open this damn thing."

After speaking, circles of light rose from Dua's eyes. He used his secret energy to spy on the metal, but even if he used his secret energy, he still could not penetrate the material structure.

Dua complained loudly, "I used many methods!"

Boluogo nodded. It could be seen that Dua had tried his best. The tools scattered on the ground were the best proof. Moreover, Boluogo also noticed that there was a tooth next to his feet with blood stains on it. .

I can already imagine the scene. The irritable Dua chewed on the iron box.

Bologgo kicked silently and kicked his teeth under the bed. If Lebius saw this, he would never tolerate Dua.

Dua had a headache, "Hell, I can't analyze this thing. Logically speaking, I shouldn't."

Suddenly, Dua became ecstatic again.

"Sure enough, how could I see through King Solomon's creation so easily!"

Lebius ignored Duva's nonsense, and after confirming that Gauld and the iron box were safe, he asked Nolen, "You still can't find out why Gauld was unconscious?"

"No," Nolen shook his head. "Maybe it's because our medical capabilities are limited. Maybe we should let the border sanatorium try."

Lebius's eyes were gloomy. They had regained the original object and protected Gauld, but now one could not open it and the other was unconscious. Although the operation was successful, Lebius felt a sense of failure.

After confirming the current situation, Jeffrey suggested, "Let's find a way to return to the Bureau of Order first."

Lebius nodded and looked at Nolen. Nolen knew what he wanted to ask. He replied, "You can leave when the temporary winding path door is built."

Through Uriel, he established contact with the Watchtower, turned the Terror into a temporary stronghold of the Bureau of Order, and carried out a winding breakthrough. Although it cost a lot, it was nothing as long as he could return to the Bureau of Order safely as soon as possible.

"Bologo."

A small voice sounded in Bologl's ears. Bologg lowered his head and found that Aimu was calling him.

"What's wrong?"

Aimu pointed at Gold, "Can I go and try?"

"Can."

It was not Boluogo who answered, but Lebius. With his keen senses, Amu's words did not escape Lebius's hearing at all.

Aimu was a little embarrassed for a moment, and the aura in her eyes became confused, but it soon stabilized again. She walked to the bedside and put her hands on Gauld's head.

Duva couldn't figure out what Aimu was doing. In the next second, Aimu's hands became illusive, directly penetrated the restraints of matter, and pressed into Gold's brain, as if to empty his brain.

As a secret power of the Construct School, the secret power of Harmony has a variety of unique effects, one of which is to empathize with the target and talk to the soul.

This effect can be achieved without complete overlap. When Aimu encounters something happy, he will put his hand into Boluogo's head and let Boluogo feel the happiness with her.

Aimu closed her eyes tightly. She used her hands as a medium to overlap in Gauld's brain, trying to feel Gauld's spirit and capture his emotions. Aimu frowned, as if she had encountered some problem. , after a long time, Aimu raised his hands, and the illusory palms returned to reality.

Opening his eyes, Aimu shook his head in confusion, "Nothing, I can't feel anything."

After hesitating for a long time, Aimu described the weird feeling.

“He is still alive, his soul is still intact, but his consciousness is gone.

I can't find him. "

Old readers should know that I get all kinds of headaches when winter comes. This morning the temperature dropped to minus 15, which is very uncomfortable. I’ll update first.
