Endless Debt

When Boluogo returned to Lebius's office, the others had left. Only Lebius was still in the office, as if waiting for Boluogo.

Noticing Boluogo's return, Lebius raised his head slightly, with no intention of stopping the work at hand.

"It seems that you have already met him, how about it?"

Boluogo shook his head and moved a chair to sit down. "It's not pleasant. He always tries to seduce me and gain my soul."

"But I still got some useful things from him," Bologo hesitated, "I don't know if this is some kind of conspiracy."

"Tell me."

"This is a bet, with the ownership of Irwin's soul as the condition for victory," Bologg recounted the information he had received. "If Belphegor wins, he will form an unconditional alliance with Asmodeus. , if Asmodeus wins, she will have a truce with Belphegor...I think it is more than just a truce, with the devil's bad taste, she will only make Belphegor pay a more painful price."

"Um……"

Lebius pondered for a few seconds. He did not comment too much on the intelligence Boluogo had obtained. Instead, he brought the topic to Boluogo.

"You are becoming more and more professional, Boluogo, especially when it comes to dealing with devils."

Lebius has witnessed with his own eyes Bologo's growth after joining the company. From being ignorant of the devil at the beginning to actively exploring and building a cognitive framework now, Lebius feels that Bologo will soon be able to take on big responsibilities.

"You can become a professional if you deal with so many devils."

Boluogo didn't think this was a compliment, but rather an affirmation of his own misfortune.

Counting the days when he was released from prison for internship, this was Bologo's second year in the industry. Others could not face the devils several times in their lives, but Bologo almost recognized the devils in this short period of time. The worst thing is that he is one of the devil's chosen ones.

Seeing Boluogo's serious look, Lebius said, "About this part of the matter, the decision-making room is handling it. You don't have to worry too much."

"You should take a rest. The journey to Happy Park must be very tiring."

Bologg nodded silently. It was more than exhausting. After being deprived of his extraordinary power, Bologg would feel a weird suffocation feeling from time to time, as if some invisible senses were blocked.

Aimu gave Boluogo some answers from her perspective as an alchemist. She felt that this feeling should be related to the disconnection from the ether.

The condenser is inseparable from the ether and the secret source, just like humans need air and fish live in water, they are closely connected.

"I think we should send people to find Irvin Fleischer as soon as possible and get him under the control of the Bureau of Order. Then we can take the lead in the devil's bet."

Boluogo suggested that the bet has not yet ended, and Irwin is still at the center of the whirlpool. He likes this author who has some problems with his brain. Under the protection of the Bureau of Order, he can not only suppress the devils, but also keep Irwin in a safe place. environment.

"Irvin Fleischer?"

Lebius flipped through the documents. After the Bologos were taken away from the Happy Garden and disappeared, the first thing Lebius did when he returned to the Bureau of Order was to investigate the identities of the remaining people.

Regarding Cinderella, Lebius found nothing, and the information about Canary was confusing due to her status as a member of the Unbound Poetry Society. However, this did not hinder the Crow's Nest, but the time required for the Crow's Nest would be relatively long. Some.

As for Irvin, his information is easy to find. Although most of Irvin’s information is not disclosed to the public, as an author, his information can be found everywhere in the publishing house. It doesn’t even cost a lot to check this information. With Bius' strength, all he had to do was make a phone call.

"Whatever you thought of, we naturally thought of it too."

Lebius explained to Bologo, "When you left, we held an impromptu meeting. During the meeting, we had applied to the decision-making room to protect Irvin. With the operational efficiency of the decision-making room, it is estimated that in the afternoon When the time comes, an action team will be assembled and go looking for Irwin."

Boluogo breathed a sigh of relief. Sure enough, his worries were unnecessary. Since he could think of it, how could his boss, the reliable Lebius, not think of it.

After thinking about it carefully, he had nothing to say. Bologg stood up and was about to leave. He really needed a rest, but before leaving, Bologg seemed to have remembered something. He stood at the door and suddenly turned his head. , asked Lebius.

"Team leader, have you known Belphegor for a long time?"

Boluogo could sense Lebius's disgust for the devil, but he could also read it from Lebius's attitude. The communication between Lebius and Belphegor was more in-depth and frequent than his own. Thinking of it, With his team leader's legendary past, Boluogo had some not-so-good thoughts.

Lebius did not answer Boluogo's question immediately, but this time, he stopped what he was doing, and after pondering for a while, Lebius calmly narrated.

"You'll find out later."

"OK."

"Oh, by the way, Bologo."

Lebius stopped Bologo, and he continued, "There is someone who wants to see you."

"who?"

"Gald," Lebius said, "it seems that you have brought back some lost guys when you returned."

Bologe and Lebius maintained a tacit understanding. Lebius didn't say anything, and Bologe didn't ask any questions. He turned around and pushed the door open and left. After Bologe left, Lebius seemed to freeze. Likewise, after a while, the muscles all over his body became soft.

He opened the drawer and took out a document that was about to be turned over. He opened the page and found a clear color photo inside. Lebius remembered the person in the photo. It was a face that he would never forget until he died. .

"Red dog..."

Lebius murmured in a low voice, and then coughed violently, as if he had triggered some kind of hidden injury.

"The sixth seat, Red Dog Grain, was already a powerful defender during the Secret War. After the Secret War, he showed enough loyalty to the King of Terror, so there are more The resources are tilted towards him. Over the years, he has become increasingly powerful. It is said that he is now second only to the number one person in the King's Secret Sword."

A familiar figure suddenly appeared behind Lebius, and heavy hands pressed on Lebius' shoulders, like two hard rocks.

"And what about you? Lebius, after so many years, you are still just a person with power. You once relied on the corpses of countless colleagues and almost killed the red dog. Can you still do it now?"

Belphegor leaned down and whispered in Lebius's ear, "I will also tell you a secret. The red dog definitely has no good intentions in this trip."

Lebius closed the file and put it back in the drawer. As for Belphegor, he completely ignored Belphegor's existence. Belphegor was not angry at all, but laughed.

"Lebius, you have one more chance, and I look forward to when you use this opportunity."

As soon as he finished speaking, Belphegor disappeared into the air, like an illusion that only Lebius could detect.

Lebius took a deep breath and tried to straighten his back, but he was still like a deflated rubber ball and slumped on the chair. After a long time, he regained some strength and picked up the crutches. Wandering towards his room.

During working hours, Lebius rarely returns to his room, and many people have almost forgotten that there is only one door between Lebius' bedroom and office.

Now Lebius rarely broke this rule. He stepped into the dark room. The interior was very simple, and there were not even many personal belongings. There was no atmosphere of life here, and some only served the function of rest.

Lebius's thoughts have been very confused these days, but this confusion is not because of the Happy Garden or the original thing, but because of the visit of the red dog.

Sitting on the bed, Lebius enjoyed the loneliness and silence. He picked up the photo on the bedside, which was the only personal item in the room. There were many people in the photo. It was a large group photo, in which Lebius The look of Jeffrey as a young man is clearly visible.

In the corner of the photo, the date of the photo was written, as well as the words "Defending Blade" in the second group.

There is no second group, the Defending Blade, in the current Field Support Department sequence. Many employees are not aware of the existence of this action group. Many people have also raised questions and are curious as to why the Action Group's serial number is included in the Field Support Department's sequence. It is not consecutive, but there are some vacancies. For example, there is no second group, but directly to the third group.

Lebius knows why this is. It stems from a rule that few people know about in the Field Service Department. When most members of an action team die and lose the ability to act, the serial number of the action team will be sealed, and the team members will also Will be assigned to other action groups. This spelled the death of an action team.

In the darkness, Lebius stared at the photo for a long time, clenching his fists silently, his nails digging into the flesh, but he remained expressionless as always.
