Endless Debt.

Chapter 206 Freaks
There was no drink, no popcorn, no comfortable seats, not even a place to shelter from the wind and rain. The cold wind was blowing, but it didn't affect Burlogo much. He watched the movie quietly until the end of the story.

It's funny, the movie shown in the parking lot movie theater is the one that Palmer mentioned to himself before, and the poster of the detective and the dog is on the wall.

The movie is called "The Nine-Rate Detective and His Invincible Hound". The main character is a down-and-out detective. Although he is a detective, he is not smart and has no detective skills. He is more like a gangster than a detective. .

One day after being drunk on the street, when the detective woke up, he found that there was an extra hound beside him, and the hound seemed to recognize him as the owner, and followed him back home.

Once home, the fun part of the story begins.

The Hound actually spoke.

It scared the detective half to death, and after calming down, he realized that the hound was the product of a mad scientist's experiment. He made animals have the same intelligence as humans and could communicate with humans.

Now this mad scientist wants to arrest more people to advance the experiment, which is why the recent disappearances are frequent.

After the desolate detective found out, in order to make himself famous and become a real detective, he decided to join forces with Siduo to defeat the evil.

As for who is Sido?This is the name of the hound.

It has a name for itself.

This is an interesting comedy movie, Sido is much smarter than the detective, but the detective still looks like an idiot, sometimes their identities should be reversed, Sido is the detective, and the detective is the hound.

Palmer was right, the movie was so funny that even Burlogo was amused.

The detective and Xiduo had a dispute. The detective, a stupid guy, obviously couldn't argue with Xiduo. In a fit of rage, he actually wanted to take Xiduo to be sterilized.

Sometimes Sido would ask to use the toilet like a human, but the detective told him to go to the dog park for convenience, and Sido was so angry that he chased the detective and bit him.

While laughing endlessly, the story continued to advance, the two became more and more tacit understanding, the detective completely gave up thinking, became Sido's thug, and Sido also became the real decision maker, seeing through the enemy's conspiracy .

After going through ups and downs, one person and one dog formed a true friendship and destroyed the conspiracy of the mad scientist.

The detective has all the attention, and wherever he goes, a hound follows him.

The story ends.

Bologo felt that his tears were about to burst out of laughter. After calming down, for some reason, he felt a little sad in his heart.

"And then?" Amy asked.

"What then?"

"What happened to the detective and Sido after that?"

"It's all right, that's the end of the story, that's all," said Burlogo.

"The life of the detective and Sido should be in a place where we can't see it, shall we continue?"

Amyu has some difficulty understanding things like the ending of the movie. She feels that even if the story is over, the lives of the people in the story will continue.

"It should be. It must be some life that is flying around." Speaking of this, Burlogo smiled. The life interaction of one person and one dog is really interesting.

After laughing, he found that the active Amyu fell silent, and the sadness in his heart became more and more intense.

"What's wrong? Amy."

"Xido is just a dog, it shouldn't live long, right?" Amyu said sadly.

Bologo didn't know what to say for a moment, he said dryly, "No way, Sido is not a person, but a dog."

"But what's the difference between it and a human? It's even smarter than a detective, who is like a dog, right?" Amy protested.

In the movie, if the detectives were more reliable, Xido wouldn't need to turn the tide, which would cut at least half an hour of the plot.

"I think Xiduo is a human being, but...it's just that it doesn't have a human body."

she whispered.

Burrog didn't know what to say. Amy's words were like a child's protest, but when he really thought about it, Burrog couldn't laugh anymore.

"Sido wanted to live like a human, he was as smart as a human after all, but the detective just laughed at him from the sidelines, saying 'can you use the toilet'?

In the eyes of this stupid detective, Xiduo is just a dog, at most a smarter dog that can talk. "

Amyu's voice became lower and lower, and finally disappeared.

Burrogo has nothing to say, it thinks it’s just a comedy, there’s no need to be so serious, but it’s completely different in Amy’s eyes, she doesn’t even understand why the detective threatens Sido with sterilization, it’s very interesting, is it funny?
"I've seen such a story in a book before, a somewhat cruel and humorous story."

Ai Miao looked at the subtitles at the end of the film, and black and white names kept flashing.

"Similar to this story, it is also a group of scientists doing experiments.

They gave the ape wisdom, and then told it the fate of death.

Then the story is over, and the story of the apes is left to the reader to guess. "

Amy's voice stopped, and Burlogo fell into deep thought. He is a smart man, and the story after the story is not difficult to guess.

The apes do not have wisdom, they live carefree and leave everything to their instincts, but one day they gain wisdom and know the fate of death...

panic?fear?Powerless or angry?
The carefree life was shattered, and they lived in fear every day. They possessed intelligence similar to human beings, but they were kept in cages and observed and experimented by another group of apes.

Consciously speaking, they are the same kind, but their bodies are so different.

What would the apes in the cage think?They are powerless to change the reality, sinking deeper and deeper in the vortex of despair... Maybe they should long to lose their wisdom, as long as they return to the carefree apes, they don't have to think about all the pain.

"Are you trying to be human, Amyur?" Bologo asked.

The girl is still too young, she doesn't know how to hide her thoughts, maybe today is a good time, and she is willing to reveal her true heart for this.

Amy is Sidor and an ape. She is better and smarter than most people in this world, but she is an alchemy puppet. She can only rely on Bologo's body to further perceive everything in this world. .

"Me? No, human beings are too cowardly. Who wants to be human?"

Amyu gave an unexpected answer.

She is hidden in Bologo's body, and Bologo can't judge her emotions through the change of aura.

"If there are no accidents, I can continue to run forever. That is to say, I am more or less half undead, and what about human beings? After a hundred years, all human beings will die, and some people will not last for a hundred years.

Lifespan is so short, and a lot of time is wasted on sleep, not to mention that human beings will be injured and plagued by diseases..."

Amy spoke to himself, trying to prove that he was better than humans.

"The reason why Xido and the apes suffer is that they are inferior to humans, but I am different. I will become stronger than humans. Sooner or later, I will do it."

Bologo was terrified when he heard this. Should he be said to be a student of TEDA?Get crazy and look like TEDA.

"Steel is the future, Burrog."

Aimu did not forget to sum it up in one sentence.

"Okay, okay, I look forward to that day, anyway, I am also undead."

Borrog said yes again and again, but he never expected that Amy's mental state was better than he expected. He thought she would say that she was trapped in a steel body and could not become a human being.

But in fact, Ai Miao doesn't care about the human body at all, after all, a flesh and blood body is too cowardly.

"And don't you feel lonely?" Burrog asked again.

"I'm so unique, so what's wrong with being lonely?" Amyu said to himself, "Have you ever seen an alchemy doll like me?"

"No, to be precise, you are the first alchemy doll I've seen."

"That's not the end, and isn't there still you? You are also an undead, and everyone is quite similar." Amyu said again.

From the previous conversations, it can be sensed that Aimiao is very concerned about life and death... mainly about death. She is particularly resistant to death, so she wants to constantly optimize herself and live.

Burlogo didn't understand why Amyu thought this way, but survival itself is the instinct of every consciousness, and this kind of thing doesn't need a reason.

"If there is such a day, I will introduce a group of friends to you."

"Who?"

"You'll know when the time comes." Burrog said mysteriously.

After the movie ended, the road became darker and more lonely.

Bologo's mood has stabilized a lot. The small alchemy workshop is full of wind and clouds. Taida paranoidly imagines the scene of Alice's resurrection. This is enough to cause headaches. Fortunately, Amy is very honest. Much delusional.

but……

What did Burlogo think of? In the alchemy workshop, Amy felt the mood when he tasted the cake for the first time.

If you don't care so much about being human, why are you so overwhelmed with joy at all of this?

The ecstasy of something new?

Bologo couldn't figure it out, and he didn't ask. The two of them had already understood each other deeply enough tonight. Everyone has some little secrets, so there's no need to probe too much.

But what Bologo didn't notice at all was that the golden halo in his eyes stopped all the restlessness at some point, and it was engraved in the pupils dullly and numbly, and even brought a few tears to Burlogo's eyes. A sense of deep emptiness.

Like walking dead.

……

"Are we going home?"

"I don't know, maybe I was just wandering around."

"What are you thinking?"

"Hmm...about the next promotion ceremony."

Burrog and Amy asked and answered, but Burrog felt more like he was talking to himself.

"I'm going to conduct a soul test to see if the soul has stabilized, and then the trial of the triple law..."

Burrog planned his next steps.

Since he is an undead, the promotion ceremony does not pose any danger to Bologo, at most it just needs to try a few more times.

For this reason, Bologo suggested to TEDA a few days ago whether to speed up the pace, start the trial of the triple law first, and complete the promotion of the believers through the strengthening of the three major elements of salt, sulfur, and mercury.

Taida pondered for a moment, and persuaded Bologo not to be too impatient. Although he is an undead person, he can ignore the incomplete soul and the risks brought by the ceremony, but his soul is already broken, and no one knows that such foolishness will cause What unusual consequences.

Because of the power of the overlord Cylinder, TEDA accidentally took care of Bologo, for fear that Bologo would play himself badly, so that he would have no samples to study.

After several discussions, TEDA decided to test Burlogo's soul first to see if it has returned to stability, and the rest will be discussed later.

Compared with the promotion ceremony, the trial of the triple law before this is not difficult for Sublimation, but requires a lot of alchemy materials.

The first thing Bologo has to face is the trial of salt, which corresponds to the soul of desire and Bologo's body.

The body of the sublimation person who passes this test will be significantly strengthened. Some alchemists have studied this, and they have come to the conclusion that as the sublimation person is promoted, he and the ether are constantly getting closer. It was even assimilated by the ether, causing a change in the body... or sublimation.

This is why many sublimation people have no chance of disease in their lives, and the body sheltered by ether will no longer be troubled by disease.

"Speaking of which, you are undead, that is to say, as long as you keep going, you will become a glorious one sooner or later, right?" Amyu asked.

"It should be, but I don't know how long it will take." Burlogo affirmed.

Oddly enough, Burlogo sometimes has a certain... sense of purpose.

He could understand why Nethaniel was so wary of himself before, but after accepting himself, he became very valuing of himself.

In the not-too-distant future, he would one day become the Glorious One, and at that time, a short-lived human like Nethaniel should have died long ago.

In a sense, I can be regarded as the legacy left by Nethaniel to the future, the watchman of the Bureau of Order.

"Maybe, one day you will be able to touch the essence of 'Secret Source'," Amyu sighed, "I really want to know what 'Secret Source' is."

"I hope so."

Burrog nodded approvingly.

From the influence of the ether on the sublimation person, the alchemists came to another conclusion, the higher the promotion level of the sublimation person, the closer they are to the ether, and even the body, mind, and spirit are completely etherized.

Correspondingly, the closer the connection with the ether, the closer the sublimation person is to the "secret source".

The highest rank in the world today is the Glorious Ones. In theory, they are also the closest existence to the "Secret Source". However, these Glory Ones are mysterious and rarely appear in front of the world. As for these unknown information, Bologo There is nowhere to verify the authenticity.

Borrog walked farther and farther, he didn't feel tired, and Amy didn't ask him where he was going, and finally the hazy fog slowly spread in front of the two of them.

Here is a high cliff, under the cliff is the turbulent mist, the gorgeous light overflows from the crack, and after the fog is blurred, it becomes a large halo.

A heavy rumbling sound came from a distance, and the light rail passed under the Kuayuan Bridge like a snake, passing through the light and mist, and the buildings farther away were looming in the mist, like a false illusion.

Even with a perpetual core, Aimu's ether is not endless, more can absorb ether from the surrounding environment to alleviate its own ether consumption.

After a night of releasing the secret energy, she still had some difficulty supporting such continuous wear and tear, and finally released the secret energy and left Bologo's body.

Bologo sat on the cliff, looking expressionlessly at the big rift below and the city in the distance. After changing his clothes, Amy came over and sat down beside him, with his feet dangling in the air.

"I found this place when I was on a mission," Burlog said lightly. "I was chasing a bastard. He was not a devil, but a serial murderer. I didn't bother to hand him over to the sheriff. Push him right out of here."

"There is nothing special here during the day, but at night, the scenery here is not bad. Sometimes I will come here and stay for a while."

Boluogo didn't continue to say, this place is very close to the big rift, and after he is in a daze, he can go straight to work, hacking, hacking, and killing with a good attitude.

Thinking of this, Burlogo unconsciously showed a smile on his face.

Amy obviously didn't know Burlog well enough. She really thought that Burlog was just enjoying the scenery, but she also understood that this place was very close to the Great Rift, and tonight's carnival would come to an end here.

"You're really interesting, Borrog," said Amy.

"Do you regard me as a whole of human beings?" Bologo shook his head, "Human beings are very complicated, and I'm just a tiny individual among them, so don't use it wrongly."

"No, at least among the few human beings I have come into contact with, you are the first one who will take me out to play." Amyu looked at the hazy mist, "The teacher refused to take me out, and Bailey didn't want me to stay longer... ...why would you want to take me out?"

"Because you figured it out, and today is your birthday, everyone should have a birthday present," Borrog thought for a while and added, "Even if you are not a human, in the movie, the detective will prepare a gift for Sido , isn't it?"

Ai Miao laughed. After laughing, Ai Miao fell silent, and said after a while.

"Actually, I really didn't expect that you would take the risk of taking me out. I always thought that you are... huh? Weird person."

Aimu thought about it, but couldn't think of an appropriate metaphor to describe Burogo.

Hearing Amyu's evaluation of himself, Burlogo felt okay, and he said, "You think I wouldn't bring you out?"

"Basically, you should be a very rational person."

Burrog thought for a moment, then turned his head and asked Amy.

"Amy, do you think... I am a good person?"

Amy didn't think too much, and said directly.

"Yeah, a nice guy."

"Because I brought you out? So I'm a good guy?"

Bologo couldn't help laughing, but after laughing twice, he fell silent again, and then said.

"Human beings are complex and multifaceted. You see me bringing you out, so you think I'm a good person, but you haven't seen how cruel and cruel I am to those people..."

Bologo felt that this was a good time and the atmosphere was good, so he rarely revealed his heart.

"I was greatly influenced by a friend who was a devout believer, and I was not religious, but I was influenced by her, and those influences shaped the way I acted.

Probably the idea is that evil is rewarded with evil, and if no one punishes those people, I will punish them instead of fate. "

"Sounds pretty good, like a dark hero?" Amy recalled the novels she had read.

"No, in fact, I am also a villain, but I have greater force, so I can decide the fate of other villains," Burlogo said, "Of course, I am not troubled by good and evil, on the contrary, I think It's great, it's cool."

"But one day, my friend told me that God not only sends fire to sinners, but He also sends redemption to good people."

Burrog's words seemed to hesitate.

"I'm not good at helping others. What I'm better at is punishing those evil people. But sometimes I also think, maybe I can try some... good deeds?"

"So all this tonight, just because you want to try some kindness, don't you?" said Amy.

"Yes, do you think this is hypocritical?"

"No, no matter what you think, at least you act and I am happy, that's enough."

When it comes to these, Amyu's thoughts are as delicate as a real human being, and Burlogo is a little confused in a trance.

"But why me? Bologo, you can try to do good deeds to many people, why did you choose me in the end?" Amyu asked curiously.

"Why didn't you reject me?"

She also turned her head to look at Burlog, the light was dim, and Burlog couldn't see her face clearly, even if she saw Amy clearly, she was expressionless.

But the blue halo in her pupils was clearly visible, no longer flustered as before, the halo was turning back and forth quietly.

"Maybe I can empathize with you..." Burrogo whispered.

"Empathy?"

"Don't look at me now, in fact, I'm almost 90 years old. My former friends, family, and the world... everything has long since become strange, turned into dust and disappeared.

Remember what you said about memory anchors?I can clearly remember everything in the past, as if the past was yesterday, but I can no longer find their existence, even the traces have disappeared, as if my past life was just a dream, and everything disappeared after waking up from the dream up.

I'm like a ghost who has traveled through the years, and in fact I have lived like a ghost until now. I don't know if it's the sentimentality of getting older, or whether it is inevitable to become more sensitive in this festival... "

The battlefield where he once fought for it has become the city of oath, Opus, and old friends he is familiar with are buried in the cemetery. Bologo has thought about taking a look at his hometown, but the familiar green town has also turned into a black city. A smoky industrial town.

He is like a foreigner, facing a familiar but strange world.

"I think we are pretty similar, the undead who lost the past, and the alchemy doll who is ignorant of the newborn, I think we should have a common language.

That's it, any more questions? "

"Nothing."

The two sat on the cliff in silence, with the cold evening wind blowing, Amy said before the clock struck midnight.

"Happy Pledge Day, Bologo."
