Endless Debt

"That light..."

Boluogo looked at the hazy light below and recalled all the things he had encountered since he stepped here. Boluogo suddenly realized that he could always catch a glimpse of this light in different areas.

"Is there something wrong with this light?" Boluogo suppressed the suspicion in his heart and asked Freya.

She is considered a local in the ruins area. With Freya here, Boluogo saves a lot of energy to collect information.

"I have no idea."

Freya shook her head, "I just think it's weird. I've seen this light in many areas...it makes me very uneasy."

It is not that this light spreads to every area, but that the existence of this light overlaps with each space. Therefore, no matter where you are in the ruins area, you will be illuminated by this light.

"disturbed?"

Boluogo looked directly at the light. He had no strange feeling at all. No matter whether it was the umbilical cord or the tangle, there was no reaction.

"You might not believe it, but it has something to do with my secret power."

She was afraid that Boluogo wouldn't believe her, or that the evil spirit would think she was worthless and would abandon her. Freya confessed to Boluogo.

"My secret power is from the school of artifice."

"oh?"

When he heard about the Mysterious School, Boluogo's eyes lit up. This mysterious and complex school of secret energy would always bring him extra surprises.

Freya continued, "The name of the secret power is prediction of fortune and misfortune."

"A secret power that allows you to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages?" Boluoge suddenly realized.

"Yes, its specific effect is not obvious. It is a kind of precognition ability. It can detect where danger is and where safety is." Freya did not hide anything. "It is because of this power that I was able to survive in this ghost town." The place has survived for so long.”

Freya said as she opened the bag, took out a can of beef from inside, skillfully pried it open in front of Boluogo, and swallowed it awkwardly.

"Sorry, I'm so hungry. These supply storage rooms are getting harder and harder to find."

After simply satisfying her hunger, Freya threw the empty can into the void. After a long time, there was no echo of the impact.

She wiped the corners of her mouth and continued, "I trust my secret power very much. Without it, I would have died long ago, so I also blindly trust everything I predict."

"In other words, you feel threatened by this light?" Boluogo asked.

"More than a threat, it's pure malice."

Freya looked at the light and murmured, "The first time I noticed it, I almost cried."

Boluogo found that Freya cried easily, but considering her experience, this was normal.

"It took me a long time to get used to this thing, but as for what it is, I'm sorry, I don't know. I tried my best just to survive, and I had no energy left to figure out what happened here. "

"It doesn't matter, what you did is good enough."

Boluogo comforted, and then he asked curiously, "Then why did you run away when you saw me? I should have no ill intentions towards you."

Freya turned her head to look at the ferocious evil spirit in front of her, and said helplessly, "Wow, your appearance is already very intimidating without relying on the secret power, okay?"

Boluogo began to wonder about his specific image in Freya's eyes.

"Okay, okay, it can be considered to be somewhat fruitful," Boluogo said his purpose, "I need all the information in your mind about the ruined area, Freya, and the reward is that I can take you Get out of here."

"Get out of here!"

Freya's eyes shone, and under the temptation of freedom, she felt that this evil spirit became more beautiful.

"Yes, I know the way back, just follow..."

Bologg said as he looked at the etheric thread around his waist. Following the infinitely extending etheric thread, Bologg would be able to find the way back to the outpost. Then Freya would be able to escape from this crazy and twisted large-scale monster through there. virtual domain.

His eyes swept over and there was a blank.

Boluogo's movements froze, and even a trace of panic flashed in his eyes.

"Wait a mininute."

Boluogo turned around in a circle and released his own ether, but no matter how he tossed it, the shining golden line of virtuality and reality never appeared.

"I guess... the thing that can take us out of here is gone, right?" Freya asked cautiously.

Borogo fell silent, and the suppressed silence was enough to answer many questions.

The ether line is broken.

This line is like a lifeline, connecting Boluogo and the outpost, but now it is broken.

Boluogo tried hard to control his emotions. He did not lose control. Instead, he quickly reviewed his actions and speculated when the etheric line broke.

Freya's mood was filled with sadness and joy, and then disappointment filled her eyes. Fortunately, she was not defeated so easily, and she quickly cheered up again.

"It doesn't matter. You are the one with the power. With my experience and your strength, we might be able to get out."

Boluogo did not respond to Freya's words, but asked abruptly.

"Foliya, do you know anything about the internal security department?"

Fear appeared in Freya's eyes, "Why do you ask this?"

"Do you know about their existence? Yes, if you want to survive here, you will inevitably interact with those employees." Bologg looked at the uniform on Freya's body. "If you interact with them, you will naturally hear them. What they said.”

Boluogo calmed down the pressure on his body, making Freya feel more relaxed.

"I just encountered the security staff of the internal security department. Compared with other ordinary staff and field staff, its authority level is very high. It can control the power of the entire ruined area, modify buildings, and control the manic ether."

"You fought with them?" Freya was shocked, "You still... escaped?"

"Yes, I suspect that our escape tool was destroyed when we fought with it."

Boluogo looked at his empty waist. The security staff could already be regarded as the incarnation of the will of some of the ruins. It was normal for this level of power to cut off the etheric line.

"You were able to escape..." Freya said to herself.

"What? Are they dangerous?" Bologg felt that he was talking nonsense, but he still tried to guide Freya and tell more information.

"More than just danger...I'm not always alone."

Freya said suddenly, "At first, the Kenshi was suddenly attacked. They all said it was the King's Secret Sword. Everything was collapsing. Then many people and I hid in the shelter."

Boluogo nodded. He had also heard such a story from Bailey. During the Xilin invasion, in order to protect the safety of the staff, the Kenshu opened a safe passage and protected many staff into an isolated shelter. .

Apparently, part of the shelter fell into ruins.

"We don't know what happened after that. We only know that we stayed in the shelter for a long, long time, until the supplies inside were exhausted, and then we found a way to escape from the shelter..."

Boluogo said coldly, "Then the whole world changed. The familiar room became crazy and twisted, and there were terrifying monsters everywhere."

Freya whispered about the nightmare, "Everyone died one after another. Many people were killed by security personnel. In the end, I was the only one left."

"You are already very good," said Boluogo.

"Um."

Freya responded in a low voice, and then she joked as if to comfort herself, "If I can go out, my internship experience should surprise everyone, right?"

"This is natural," Bologo continued, "If I can take you out alive, I will even consider including you in my action team."

"Your action team?" Freya was stunned for a moment, "Are you a team leader? Where are your team members? Are they..."

"Don't worry, they are not dead. You have been out of contact with the Bureau of Order for too long, and many things have changed," Boluogo said. "I am the only one in this operation. I can handle this kind of trouble by myself. "

"Aren't you afraid of death?" Freya thought Boluogo was crazy. "Or is it that you failed in some office fight and were sent here to die?"

Freya's brain circuit unexpectedly went offline, and she was very good at entertaining herself.

"No, no, you're overthinking it. I'm just very simple and suitable for dealing with this kind of trouble," Bologo then added, "I'm an immortal."

"Immortal!"

Freya was even more shocked that the evil spirit in front of her was actually an undead, and then she began to feel lucky that this evil spirit was an ally, and that he was not a real evil spirit, but a living person.

Freya worked hard to brainwash herself into accepting such a terrifying existence.

"We should go."

Boluogo checked the etheric line around his waist again, and after confirming that it was indeed broken, he had no choice but to accept this reality.

"You said it's not safe here, then you must know where to hide from the prying eyes of this dim light."

"Well, I know a few safe houses." Freya said.

Boluogo carried the supplies for Freya, and she walked in front, walking through the winding stairs. After walking a few steps, she suddenly turned her head and asked.

"So what exactly happened? The King's Secret Sword invaded us?"

Boluogo nodded heavily and told Freya about the aftermath of that year on the road.

"We later called that incident the Secret War."
