Endless Debt

When Boluogo regained consciousness and his vision became clear, he found that he had left the etheric world and came to the familiar void.

Everywhere is monotonous gray and white, and the suspended mountains collide with each other with a sense of sluggishness, raising large amounts of gravel and dust in the air.

Bologg stood up slowly, this scene fell into his calculations... Finally some things were under control, Bologg couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, and then he fell down again as he just stood up. The man was lying on the ground with a big character.

Now Bologe's mind is in a mess. This exploration of the ethereal world is very fruitful. Bologe has discovered too many amazing possibilities. Whenever Bologe feels that the information he has obtained is shocking enough, he will always realize that it is even more terrifying. secret.

Just like the last scene when leaving the etheric realm.

Across time and space, Boluogo saw King Solomon with his own eyes for the first time, even if it was just an apparition from the past, even if Boluogo only knew of his existence and had not seen him in person, he would not have the chance to see him in person. .

Looking back now, Boluoge still feels an unquenchable excitement, as if the truth of everything is close at hand.

King Solomon.

Whether it is the secret war or the current battle, all the disputes among the devils today originate from the destruction of the Holy City. That was the beginning of modern disputes... No, the beginning of modern times did not only originate from the Holy City. The death of.

Borogo rejected his idea and then proposed a new traceback.

Dawn War.

If you think about it carefully, that was the real beginning. With the destruction of the Eternal Night Empire, the devils discovered the power of human beings for the first time and panicked about the out-of-control situation of human beings, and then started disputes again and again.

Boluogo still remembers the name of the witness in "The Oath of the Dawn", which is the same name as the young man who fought with the devil at the end of Hill's memory.

Wolfgang Gold.

In addition, there is the evil devil, who not only appears in Hill's memory, but also appears next to King Solomon.

There must be some kind of connection between the few of them that Boluogo doesn't know yet, but now everything has become the past, King Solomon is dead, and the real name of the devil, Boluogo, is not yet clear.

To know the truth of the past, the only way Bologo can think of at present is to sneak into the etheric world again and pursue his memory in the core of day.

That was an extremely risky act. If he was not careful, Bologo would stay there forever. He did not think that the astronauts could rescue him every time, let alone how could he place his fate in the hands of the devil.

Boluogo rested for a while. When he sat up again, a familiar figure had been waiting aside for a long time.

The bloated space suit was lying on the deck chair, and he looked as comfortable as if he were on vacation at the beach.

Borogo looked at the other person and asked, "What should I call you, astronaut? Or jealous Leviathan."

"Astronaut."

The astronaut said, "I like this name. This is the vanguard of mankind's exploration of the unknown."

In this world, no one except Boluogo can understand the astronaut's words. This is a secret about the "past life" that belongs to them alone.

"As for Jealous Leviathan, I've never liked that name."

The astronaut stood up, put away the folding chair, hung it behind him, and then called to Bologg, "Follow me."

Boluogo followed the astronaut. Facing this abominable devil, Boluogo found that the relationship between the two of them was unexpectedly harmonious.

The astronaut asked, "How does it feel to have adventures in the ether?"

"It's not bad, but there are a lot of things I don't understand," Bologo said.

"You can talk to me. I might be able to answer a lot of questions for you."

Boluogo fell silent, and then the astronaut said again, "Don't be nervous, you are my chosen one, and our interests are the same. The more you know, the easier it will be for me to act. This is a win-win situation."

"Are you going to refuse?" the astronaut said again, "I can feel that you are dying of curiosity now."

Seeing that Boluogo continued to remain silent, the astronaut took the initiative and said, "You are right, the etheric world has a set of almost harsh screening conditions. Even if many condensers arrive in the etheric world and meet the secret source when they are promoted, they only You will feel like you are dreaming and can't sense anything.

For this reason, the secrets of the ethereal world were concealed like this, until today, when the ether concentration increased, they could no longer hide it. "

Borlog asked, "What are you hiding?"

"the truth."

The astronaut replied casually, "The truth of everything, the root of all things, the secret that is enough to subvert everyone's knowledge."

He paused and then said, "I am also pursuing these truths."

"Doesn't even the devil know the truth?"

"maybe."

The astronaut gave a vague answer.

"Your other conjectures are also correct. The soul does not only exist in the material world, but also exists in the material world and the etheric world at the same time. After all, humans do not have souls originally. The soul is more like a wonderful product of the ether distorting life. Its root is in the ether. Within the bounds.”

It was as if the astronaut knew what Borogo was thinking, and even his guesses were accurately guessed. This reminded Borogo of the crowd, who can also deduce the logic of their own behavior.

"So the memories I saw are actually the mental projections of the soul, right?"

Boluoge suddenly realized this, and for a moment he didn't know what to say, and then more ideas came to him.

"That's why the golden soul cannot be bound..."

The golden soul exists in the material world and the etheric world at the same time. When the human "body" enters death and the "heart" is annihilated, the soul symbolizing the "spirit" will break away from the shackles of the material world and return to the etheric world. Within, return to the secret source.

All souls have been summoned by the secret source. In the etheric realm, they are eternally fighting with the shadows. Only the devil's blood contract can truly bind these bright souls and drag them from the holy light into the world. shadow.

Boluoge suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. He knew the destination of all the souls and the destination of his friends, and he gained a brief inner peace.

The countless wandering ghosts are souls that have not yet fully integrated into the core of the day. The memories that Bologo touches in every soul are the mental projections that remain on the soul.

Just like Amu would dream of Alice at first.

Boluogo couldn't help but ask, "What is the secret source? Who are you, the devil?"

"You'll find out later."

The astronaut said perfunctorily, "I want you to see this more than these."

He raised his hand and pointed at an extremely angled slope not far away. It was an extremely huge crater that extended to the end of Bologo's field of vision.

When Boluogo was curious about what was behind the crater, the astronaut suddenly said abruptly, "By the way, I can't remember something. Have I mentioned it to you?"

"What did you mention?"

The astronaut turned his head, and Bologg's face was reflected on the golden mirror.

"My last chosen one was King Solomon."

Boluogo froze on the spot, recalling the devil holding the cane in his mind, and his figure gradually overlapped with the astronaut.

Bursts of hoarse laughter sounded from under the astronaut's helmet, and he urged, "Hurry up, Bologo, we're almost there."

Boluogo's body moved forward uncontrollably, climbing hard. After a long time, he and the astronauts stood on the peak of the crater. Below was a deep pit that gradually sunk, suspended in the crater. The large boulders above blocked all light, and there was an untouchable darkness inside the crater.

The astronaut asked, "Actually, you already know where this is, right?"

Boluogo didn't respond. He just looked up at the suspended mountains. He thought that few people in this world would be able to witness such a scene with their own eyes.

The astronaut raised his hand, and with his waving, like wiping a picture on a blackboard, the heavy mountains separated into a narrow path, and the light shined through the gaps and illuminated the darkness of the crater.

Boluogo saw the blue and clear planet behind the mountains. It was like a colorful gemstone, and the afterglow of the sun shone on the edge of the sphere.

Sea of ​​clouds, ocean, mountains, cities...

In an instant, Boluoge felt absolutely peaceful, and thousands of distracting thoughts disappeared. His mind was completely immersed in it, without any ups and downs.

Burlogo came to like this place, and if he could, he could sit here all day, just watching calmly.

A bit of golden light broke into Bologg's field of vision, and his attention was taken away from the blue and clear planet. His eyes moved downward, and Bologg saw the huge man-made object located in the center of the crater.

No one in this world would be able to recognize the existence of this thing, but relying on the memory of his "past life", Boluogo recognized the essence of this creation at the first sight.

It was an observatory standing in the center of the crater.

Golden wings spread out like solar power panels surround the high platform. Circuits and machinery are intertwined with each other. There are also many alchemy equipment set up inside. Thick ether is bred in the metal, built together with extraordinary power and modern technology. of this precise instrument.

The layers of lenses were raised high, but they were not pointed at the stars, but at the blue and clear planet, so that the reflection of the planet was clearly reflected on the mirror surface.

Boluogo couldn't help but look at the astronaut beside him, waiting for him to decipher the secret to him, and wanted to understand what he was planning here.

"Don't be impatient, you'll know soon."

The astronaut said and walked downhill. Every time he jumped up, he could cover a distance of several meters. Boluogo also jumped up and followed closely behind the astronaut.

The successive shocks have made Boluogo's heart numb. He doesn't know how the astronauts built such a behemoth in this desolate place, and he doesn't even understand the meaning of the astronauts setting up their own country here. .

Boluogo could only follow the astronaut and wait for him to tell him his dark secret.

Like the curse of knowledge, he clearly knew that the other party was the devil, and he knew that what awaited him next was a dark future, but Boluoge just couldn't control himself, and couldn't contain his strong desire for knowledge, eager to know what was hidden. The secret in the filth, even this will make you fall into the swamp.

Boluogo was shocked, frightened, happy and angry.

After a short advance, the two arrived below the observatory. Under the shadow of the building, there was a temporary camp. The astronauts seemed to really love movies, just like Belphegor. Even in such a temporary camp, they still A simple open-air cinema was set up, and two folding chairs had been placed here in advance, just like the astronauts knew they would arrive early in the morning.

"The Bureau of Order has already obtained the original object," the astronaut said. "You have also discovered that for this world, ether may be a foreign object."

The astronaut sat on the recliner. He was so bloated that he almost squeezed out of the recliner.

Boluogo sat on another recliner, his mind sometimes confused and sometimes clear.

"Yes, we found that," Bologeau answered like a student answering a question. "It may have something to do with the increasing concentration of ether."

"That's right, the ether concentration," the astronaut nodded, "the ether concentration in the entire world is continuing to rise."

"What do you think will happen if you continue to let it go? Bologo."

"what happened?"

"Yes, imagine it. Your imagination has always been very good, hasn't it?"

Boluogo paused for a moment, then told the astronauts the scene that he had hidden in his heart and had rehearsed countless times.

"First, there is a breakthrough in alchemy matrix technology. In a high-concentration ether environment, the combat capabilities of the Sublime Ones become even more powerful, and the shackles between ranks will loosen. There is a high probability that even the crowned person who is only imaginary will... It will be born someday in the future.”

"That's a positive," the astronaut commented.

"While making progress, dangers are also brewing secretly. I have been to Fengyuan Highlands and looked at the sea area called the Raging Sea from a distance. There are high-concentration ether vortex points lingering there. The almost substantial ether is directly in the material world. Extraordinary phenomena arose within.”

Boluogo murmured, "As the ether concentration continues to rise, there will be more and more such ether vortex points, and uncontrolled supernatural phenomena will gradually invade the human world until everything is messed up."

Through the ether and alchemical matrix, the Sublimation Master can distort the material world and create various supernatural powers. However, this power is ultimately under the control of the Sublimation Master, and nature is disorderly and crazy. No one knows that the raging ether , what a terrible impact it will have.

"Look at this, Bologg."

The astronaut pressed the remote control, and weather maps appeared on the screen.

"This is a data chart compiled in recent years based on the information I collected and the data observed by the all-seeing eye."

The weather map began to zoom in, changing frame by frame. The white weather first covered the sea, and then invaded the inland.

Bologo knew that this was not a weather map. The image it presented, similar to air currents, was the majestic ocean-like ether current swimming above this world.

"Extraordinary phenomena similar to the angry sea will gradually cover the sea. Navigation will become extremely dangerous, and even human shipping will be completely paralyzed. Then there will be an invasion of the inland. Terrible disasters will destroy many cities, and many people will die. Survivors of people will huddle in the fortresses of big cities.

Human civilization will regress in such a crisis, and basic science will be severely hit. But accordingly, a new extraordinary era will come, and the Sublime Ones will step out from behind the curtain and occupy a dominant position in the world.

It will be a dark age. Extraordinary disasters will take away most of human territory and drag the world into unknown darkness. Diseases will be rampant, wars will break out, a large amount of cultivated land will be lost, and then famines will cause food shortages. Endless Death will fill everyone's life. "

The astronaut expressed his reasoning, "What's worse is that this is not just a prophecy, but a fact that is destined to happen in the future."

Burlogo raised his doubts, "How can you be sure of this."

"This observatory, I call it the All-Seeing Eye. It took me many years to build it, but fortunately I finally caught up."

The astronaut introduced his great creation.

"Many years ago, I built a similar thing, but its lens was pointed at the starry sky to explore unknown lands. Now, this alchemy astronomical telescope is used by me to point at the planet we live on.

It can observe most of the ether concentration changes in the planet in detail, detect the movement of every ether flow, and all transfers of ether cannot escape its eyes.

When needed, it can even lock its gaze on a local area, and the individual ether flow of the Sublime One cannot escape its observation. "

The astronaut gave an explanation that Bologna couldn't refuse.

"As long as you have enough data support and computing power, you can predict the chaotic future and make the unknown known."

Boluogo agreed in his heart, "Just like everyone else."

The astronauts pieced together the changes in the weather map and turned it into a video. What Bologna didn't notice was that as the weather map changed, the hands of the clock in the corner of the video were also slowly moving forward.

"What are you going to do?" Bologg asked in confusion, "Save the world? Are you kidding?"

"Why can't the devil save the world?"

The astronaut asked rhetorically, "To be honest, the increase in ether concentration is not in my interests."

"Think about it, human beings are so powerful now. With the advancement of alchemical matrix technology caused by the increase in ether concentration, do we devils really still have the ability to control you? Not to mention, extraordinary disasters will lead to the death of a large number of people. Every day To me, every person is an ear of rice waiting to be harvested.”

The astronaut burst into laughter.

"The time has come to make a choice. If you just sit back and ignore it, you should help me and solve this problem."

Boluogo's eyes were straight, with a morbid meaning, staring closely at the golden mask on the astronaut's helmet, staring at himself in the golden mirror.

"No...something's wrong."

Boluogo shook his head, "Does the rise in ether concentration represent the overlap between the etheric world and the material world..."

The astronaut responded, "You also saw that disgusting thing. Unlike my blood relatives, I don't really want that thing to reach the material world."

"My blood relatives are not worthy of trust. Even if I have a covenant with them, the only thing we can trust is each other."

"That sounds so ridiculous."

Boluogo shook his head. He was actually bound to the astronauts, and it was some kind of so-called, absolutely trustworthy alliance.

The world within cognition gradually became absurd and weird in Boluogo's eyes, like a newborn baby understanding the whole world for the first time.

"You don't have to make a decision right away," the astronaut looked at Bologg. "I'm looking forward to it, Bologg."

"I look forward to that moment, and that moment, your decision."
