Endless Debt

"The situation has changed."

This is a sentence that has been frequently mentioned in the Order Bureau since the Decay Epidemic incident.

When Oath City Opos recovered from the aftermath of the disaster, the Bureau of Order did not relax. Instead, it became more vigilant, wary of changes coming from the other side of the Hazama Kingdom, the Kogadel Empire.

But amid the high level of vigilance, the Kogadel Empire maintained an eerie calm. For a while, the King's Secret Swords seemed to have disappeared, evacuating from the narrow countries one after another and gathering back into their territory.

The Bureau of Order guessed that they were wary of Xi Lin's return and the King's Shield Guard who was about to be rebuilt in Xi Lin's hands.

A long overdue civil war in the Kogadel Empire.

Civil war did not break out.

For a long time after the Decay Plague incident, not only the Kogadel Empire remained silent, but also Xilin. His return was like a flash in the pan, disappearing behind the great rift and leaving no trace.

But the news of Xilin's return has swept through every inch of the continent like a torrential rain. All the extraordinary forces are aware of his return. It is obviously the eve of the conflict that is about to break out, but the entire extraordinary world has fallen into an extremely strange peace and harmony. peaceful.

Until a series of civil strife broke out within the Rhine League, from the Night Clan.

People were coming and going on the train corridor, and there were noisy voices one after another. People dragged their suitcases and squeezed forward, and the friendly words they exchanged with each other were mixed with a little anxiety.

There is an air of exhaustion in the car, and people's faces are full of vicissitudes of life. Passengers waiting for hard seats are already sitting on the aisle, and people behind are also fighting for a little space, trying to get closer to the windows to get fresh air. The gray light in the carriage shines on the passengers who are anxiously waiting to leave the station. From time to time, some people ask for help, but most people are focusing on their destinations or breathing calmly, which makes the air in the carriage become depressing. In this crowded place, every step seemed to stir everyone's emotions.

Boluogo walked through the crowded passage and arrived at the next carriage. The space suddenly opened up. This was an exclusive carriage specially prepared for field staff to separate them from civilians.

But in the exclusive carriage, the injured field staff had the same low mood as the civilians.

Some people rubbed their sore shoulders and sat helplessly on the leaning boards with dim eyes. Others sat alone in silence. They meditated and reflected, thinking about the current situation of life, past choices and uncertainty about the future. Sex, every face has boredom written on it. They are counting the time to reach their destination, and they just want to reach their destination as soon as possible and get rid of all these worries.

After the Decay Epidemic incident, the Night Clan surfaced. For these hateful enemies, the Bureau of Order had made full preparations when they met in Fengyuan Highlands, but no one expected that they would suddenly appear at this time, and it was In an extremely sporadic manner, the plague of blood spreads among villages and towns far away from the city.

A large number of civilians were transferred on the train. Their villages and towns have been contaminated by the blood of the Night Clan, and the fire burned through countless houses. The train will take them to the next city, where they will be resettled, and will also take Bologo Return to the Order Bureau and report on the mission.

"I can hardly remember the last time I returned to the Bureau of Order...about three years ago?" Opposite Boluogo, Yoni looked at the scenery outside the window and sighed.

When the Night Clan became active, Bologo was dispatched due to the nature of the debtor. As a person with authority, he was fully capable of taking charge of his own affairs, and was regarded as an emergency force. As the train arrived at various needs, His place.

Since setting off from the Bureau of Order a month ago, Bologg has been running non-stop, measuring the territory of the Rhine League. When hunting the Night Tribe who are also debtors according to the guidance of the umbilical cord, Bologg will also accept some other orders. For example, rescuing Yoni.

"I have learned about your function. It is like a group of explorers, searching for ether vortex points in inaccessible places ahead. While recording, you also channel away those extremely threatening existences that may evolve into extraordinary disasters." Burrow Ge said.

"That's right." Johnny nodded and ate a sandwich.

It had been a long time since he had eaten the food of human civilization. In the deep mountains and old forests, the only companions for Yoni were various insects.

"Then you should be an experienced veteran. This is not the first time you have channeled the ether vortex point. Why did this happen this time?" Boluogo frowned.

A few days ago, Bologo was supposed to arrive at the next town, but on the way, Bologo suddenly received direct instructions from the decision-making room. A member of the Eighth Group was missing deep in the jungle. Because of the importance of his function, , Bologo needs to prioritize searching for him.

Boluogo went tens of kilometers deep into the jungle before he found the unconscious Yoni. At that time, the guy's body was bloody and bloody, as if he had been hit by an explosion at close range.

"Um……"

Johnny stopped eating while thinking about it. He took out his pocket and took out a crumpled notebook. He also took out a pair of cracked glasses from somewhere and put them on.

"Do you know how to channel the ether vortex points?" Yoni asked.

Boluogo shook his head in denial.

"To put it simply, when a large amount of ether accumulates in a certain area, it is like a vortex suddenly appearing on a calm water surface. The excess ether will gradually crush reality and cause the material foundation of the entire area to begin to collapse. At the same time, this The vortex will also attract more ether, making the vortex grow larger and larger until reality is completely torn apart. This is the process by which an ether vortex point forms and evolves into an extraordinary disaster."

Johnny said as he tore off a page from the notebook, laid the page flat on the table, put the tip of the pen on the page, and applied pressure little by little until it pierced it.

"Reality was shattered."

Yoni looked up at Boluogo, "In order to avoid this situation, we need to find the location of the ether vortex point, channel it, break up this huge and gradually converging ether, and let it return to the world. between."

He took a deep breath, his nose heavy, "According to my previous experience, as long as the ether vortex point is handled in time and the ether vortex point is channeled, it usually won't cause any disaster..."

"But this time you almost died in it," Bologo said.

"Um."

Johnny nodded, he hesitated, and said cautiously, "I feel like this world has become strange."

He looked down at his notes, where a series of numbers were recorded. He became a little hesitant and said intermittently, "I have been doing this job for many years, but in recent years..."

"In recent years, ether vortex points have become more violent and terrifying."

Boluogo guessed what Yoni wanted to say, and he said directly, "This should be related to the overall increase in ether concentration. The ether concentration in this world is getting higher and higher. No matter how you channel it, it will only become Increasingly stronger, until the etheric vortex point engulfs the entire world, and the concentration remains consistent.”

Yoni was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Boluogo to tell him about the ether concentration. "How did you know?"

A few years ago, Yoni had suspected the rise in ether concentration. For this reason, he conducted a lot of research and data collection, but now Boluogo actually said this information casually, which surprised him.

"Yoni, how long has it been since you last returned to the Bureau of Order?" Boluogo asked.

"It's been several years, what happened?"

Boluogo covered his forehead, "I know that the eighth group is a group of explorers. Unless the supplies are completely exhausted, they will not appear in the Department of Order's sight at all, but I still suggest that you come back if you have nothing to do. Less new discoveries.”

Yoni's face froze completely, and then he followed Boluogo's words.

"Yes, if the ether concentration continues to rise like this, there will only be more and more ether vortex points."

He picked up the pen and poked black dots one after another on the page.

"The so-called channeling is just to scatter the excess ether evenly back to the world. But as the concentration increases, no matter how much channeling is done, it will be in vain. These increasingly heavy ether vortex points will penetrate reality and completely tear the material world apart. "

Boluogo's expression was calm. He knew more than Yoni. At that time, the etheric world and the material world would completely overlap. No one could tell whether it would be the beginning of a new world or the beginning of the end.

Soon Boluogo noticed another thing, and he couldn't help but ask, "Yoni, are you the only one in your exploration team?"

Yoni's eyes dimmed for a moment. He combed his messy beard with his hand and whispered, "According to the regulations of Group 8, we usually operate in groups of five."

Bologger knew what was happening.

Yoni tried his best to say this sentence without emotion, "When the ether vortex point detonated, the furious ether distorted reality and involved other people in it."

The train rumbled forward, and Boluogo turned to look at the scenery outside the window. He thought that after the Decay Epidemic incident, there would be an all-out war between the two behemoths, but what really happened was a turbulent and bizarre change in the dark.

Boluogo suddenly felt tired. During this period of time, he was like a complete killing tool, running through various hellish scenes.

He was a little tired and missed his friends.
