Endless Debt

Under the guidance of Evan, Bologo continued to move forward. Finally, deep in the Desperate Outpost, Bologo met the curse leader and Holt of the fourth group.

Bologg had some impressions of Holt in his mind. After returning from the abandoned land last time, out of curiosity about the Holy City and other aspects, Bologg checked the information related to the Fourth Group-related matters, and also learned information about Holt from it.

Within the Bureau of Order, Holt is a legendary figure. He, Lebius, Jeffrey, Yas and others were all field staff in the same period, and they also participated in the secret war together.

When he was a student, Holt was extremely outstanding. After becoming a condenser, he showed his talent to everyone. As if he was born with it, Holt has a high affinity with the ether. , like a natural condenser of the original school.

He was listed as a key training target by the Order Bureau. When others were still Condensers, he was the first to be promoted to Prayer. Since then, he has always been one step ahead of others.

During the Secret Wars, Holt engaged in a series of firefights with his enemies within the Great Rift, and then, like Borogo, he strayed into the Forsaken Lands.

It was the time when the Secret War was at its most intense. No one knew that Holt had fallen into the abandoned land. Everyone just thought that he was missing or died in a corner. Many people felt sorry for such a genius. Just like that he fell.

Holt did not have immortality, let alone the protection of the devil, and was only a power-bearer at the time. He could not survive the etheric vacuum of the Silent Defense Line, nor could he survive the predation of the evil in this world.

But what everyone didn't expect was that Holt came back alive, surviving in this terrifying and crazy place with his outstanding will.

According to Holt's later report, after falling into the Abandoned Land, he relied on the etherization of the Power Bearer and did not suffer too many fatal injuries. Although the ether vacuum environment was draining his ether little by little, Before the ether dried up, he killed many evil tentacles and advanced a lot of distance.

What happened after that was very simple. Holt struggled to move forward in the abandoned land. His goal was the same as Boluogo's, to find the mysterious fourth group and seek their help.

When he was approaching the ruins of the sacred city, Holt could no longer hold on. He pulled the trigger and fired the last flare he carried.

The reason why Holt has been able to hold on for so long is that this signal bomb gave him unlimited hope.

So the staff guarding the desperate outpost saw a signal flare rising rapidly from the ashes. At that time, they suspected that the King's Secret Sword had discovered the secret of the abandoned land and invaded the deepest part.

Holt's return boosted morale. After a short rest, Holt clamored for revenge against the King's Secret Sword, and then he began the ceremony to be promoted to a defender.

Holt was the youngest base keeper in the order at the time.

Various information shows that Holt is a proud man, but after the end of the Secret War, this proud man was assigned to the fourth group to guard the abandoned place.

In the eyes of many people, Holt has been sent to the frontier. The abandoned land is important, but there has been no movement here for many years. Holt can do nothing except being slapped in the face with ashes every day.

Holt actually had no objection, entered this hellish place at a young age, and lived a life just like retirement until now.

This was all Bologo knew about Holt. After a brief review in his mind, Bologo opened the office door with a serious face.

Loud singing reached my ears.

Bologe thought that behind the door there would be a serious guy like Lebius, and also thought that the other person might look depressed and drunk all day long. However, in any case, Bologe never thought that it would be someone as serious as Lebius. This scene.

What caught Bologo's eyes was not so much an office as a private entertainment room. Two rows of bookshelves were stacked on both sides of the room. One side was filled with books, and the other side was filled with records and discs.

Angry music was playing on the speakers, and the mysterious team leader put his feet on the desk, humming while flipping through the book in his hand. If Bologo recognized it correctly, it was Irwin's new book. "Poetry without End".

Boluogo suddenly remembered that by chance, he saw the materials transported by the Logistics Department to the fourth group. There were piles of books in them, and everything seemed to make sense.

"Ahem."

Evan coughed hard several times, trying to remind Holt. Holt put down the book, glanced at Boluogo, raised his hand and turned the knob... He didn't turn off the music, he just turned it down.

Boluogo pulled out the chair and sat in front of Holt. Holt put away his feet, sat upright, and stretched out his hand.

"Hello, this is the second time we have met, Boluogo, but for you, it should be the first time."

Burlogo also extended his hand, shook Holt's hand in a friendly manner, and whispered his name, "Holt."

"The team leader is a little weird in some ways."

Evan whispered in Boluogo's ear. Boluogo didn't care about this. He had seen weirder guys. Holt was completely considered an ordinary person in his eyes.

"You are much calmer than I thought," Holt said. "Looking at the information, you are a workaholic."

"You think I'll be surprised?" Bologg looked around Holt's collection, which looked like his own living room. "I think it's okay. It's nothing. My partner and roommate and I both like it." these things."

As he spoke, Borogo took a look at Holt's bookshelf, and the familiar author's name came into his eyes. He affirmed, "You have good taste, and I like it very much."

As if he had met a confidant, Holt said loudly, "Ha! Evan, I just said that young people can understand me."

young people?

Boluogo didn't change his expression. He was used to being called this.

Holt then complained, "Those old guys will only tell me to look like a team leader. Don't I look like a team leader?"

"This damn place," he cursed the place, "except for that monster, is just endless ash. I feel like I'm about to get a respiratory illness."

"Team leader, with the etherification level of your defender, it is almost impossible for you to suffer from respiratory diseases." Evan explained in a timely manner.

Holt completely ignored Evan's words and continued his complaint, "It's so boring here. I need something to kill time."

"I hope you understand," Holt continued, "Mr. Borogo Lazarus."

Bologg nodded silently, as he had thought before, he had seen weirder guys, and few things could shock Bologg.

"I need to leave here...leave as soon as possible," Boluogo continued. "If possible, I also need some material assistance, such as Mang Yin's soul."

Although Boluogo was resurrected, his own ether had not yet been replenished. He needed to return to his peak state quickly and then return to the upper sea of ​​fog.

Now Boluogo doesn't know whether this operation is a success and whether the others are safe. As the leader of the temporary operation team, he is extremely anxious.

"Return to the fight?" Holt seemed to know what Boluogo was worried about, and he continued, "The battle is over, Boluogo."

"While you were in coma, we received news from the decision-making room that all your team members had evacuated the Wuyuan Fortress and have now returned to the reclamation room. As for the success or failure of your action, I don't know."

Holt paused, "At least your team members are safe."

Hearing this, Bologo took a long breath, and his tense nerves finally relaxed. He looked up at Holt, and Bologg continued, "I hope you can understand."

"I am also a team leader, so I can certainly understand your mood."

Holt stood up and invited, "Do you need me to show you around here? There are some things I want you to see."

Boluogo hesitated for a moment, nodded and agreed, "Okay."

Bologo was full of curiosity about this place, which contained the beginning of everything and the sacred city of King Solomon.

“Why not explore and witness it for yourself?”

The ghostly voice sounded in Bologg's ears, tempting Bologg to return to the old place and cross the high wall that he had never crossed.

Boluogo couldn't remember who said these words to him, but now, he vaguely remembered that person.

"Tyrant..."

Boluogo murmured softly and clenched his fists.
