Endless Debt.

Chapter 28 Destiny
Take the tram all the way, pass through several urban areas, and finally arrive at the city center, which is the core of Opals, the most prosperous and magnificent place, with countless towering buildings, like a jungle made of iron and concrete.

The official name of this urban area is rarely mentioned. Citizens often name it "Agreement Area", because 66 years ago, the Kogadel Empire and the Rhine Alliance signed a contract and swore an oath here. , agreed on the future of Opals.

It is said that the oath contract is still preserved in the ruins of King Solomon's Golden Palace. Unfortunately, it is not open to the public, and the citizens can only see the golden color reflected in the sky from a distance, where Under the golden light, is the Golden Palace made of gold.

Looking at the scenery outside the car window, Bologo can clearly feel the changes in the city. The agreement area is undoubtedly much better than other urban areas. Ninety-nine percent of the wealth of Opals is concentrated here, and those high-ranking officials and gentry live here , and this is also the place with the best law and order in Opals.

Well-equipped mounted police patrolled the streets. The streets were clean and tidy, without the slightest bit of sewage or garbage. Among the towering buildings, there were low-flying airships with huge billboards hanging on them. Beautifully dressed girls could be seen everywhere.

Compared with the goddamn environment in Shenbei District, Burlogo would even feel like he was in another city.

In the carriage, other passengers also looked out of the window one after another. Everyone was dressed as a foreigner, and their accents were messed up.

In the eyes of these foreigners, the division of Opals is not too complicated. They don't care about the distinction of urban areas. In their cognition, Opals is only divided into two areas, the agreement area and other areas. City, as for the Great Rift...

They used to call that place a mine.

Countless people came here, digging imaginary gold in the Great Rift, trying to bring them back to their hometown, but often they were buried here with the gold in the end.

A bad city, a desirable city.

The tram stopped, Burlogo arrived, stepped out of the car, and stood on the crowded platform, surrounded by people coming and going.

Everyone is glamorous, and here Opals are colored instead of the lingering gray.

In the laughter and laughter of the people around him, Burlogo was uncomfortable all over, but fortunately he got used to it quickly, and not many people noticed him.

He was wearing the occult windbreaker distributed by the Bureau of Order, with the same white shirt and tie inside. Burrog has always looked like this, and he has never dressed in a different way.

After taking out the ticket and looking at the address above, Burrog walked into the crowd and headed towards the destination.

……

Ke Dening sat in front of the dressing table, arranging his appearance, his face was expressionless, as if he was wearing a blank mask, no matter what expression he expressed, he could be depicted on it.

Breathing, exhaling, after a short preparation, a soft smile appeared on his face, his eyes were lively, and he spoke his lines in front of the mirror, and he broke out of that indifferent state in an instant, with a serious and vivid expression, as if behind the mirror, he really There is another person talking to him.

There were other actors walking by behind him, and when they saw Ke Dening, they would cast admiring glances. He is the best actor here, and everyone knew this.

Even so, Kedening has never been conceited. In the fiercely competitive agreement area, it is not easy to maintain this small theater. Every time he performs, he must do his best, and there is no room for negligence.

"Mr. Nishizawa, it's really hard to see you."

The voice sounded from behind, and the man came to Kedening and sat down on the chair beside him. The light on the dressing table reflected his face clearly.

Kedening didn't look at him, but kept staring at the mirror, and the man's appearance could be reflected in the corner of the mirror. If Bologo was here, it would be a face that surprised him.

"Mr. Navilon, I've made it very clear. My theater will not be sold to anyone. This is the culmination of the hard work of my wife and I. I just want it to continue."

Ke Dening refused, mercilessly.

That man was called Navilon by Kedening, but in Borrog's ears, he had another name, Yas Cyril.

It's unclear why Yass is here, or why he's using a pseudonym.

Yas squinted his eyes slightly and looked at Ke Dening in front of him. Every time he saw him, Ke Dening's face was painted with heavy makeup, and he couldn't see his true face at all, as if he had been wearing a mask and never took it off.

"Are you sure? Our price is reasonable, even generous."

Yas's words were urgent, but his tone was very calm, as if he didn't care much about it, and just looked around vaguely, as if he was looking for something.

"I'm sure, it won't change."

Ke Dening replied indifferently.

Seeing this, Yas had no choice but to get up. He held his hat in one hand and put it in front of him, bowed slightly, and said to Kedening.

"Excuse me then, Mr. Codning Caesar, if your mind changes..."

"My mind won't change."

On this issue, Ke Dunning was unexpectedly tough, without the slightest possibility of justification.

Yas smiled awkwardly, said nothing more, put on his hat, walked a few steps, but stopped again, looked back at the dressing room, and sniffed vigorously, all he could smell was the choking perfume .

Through the refraction of the mirror, Yas' eyes met Ke Dening's. He smiled again and turned to leave.

With Yas's departure, Kedening's cold face gradually eased, he took a long breath, and then frowned suddenly, clouded.

The appearance of Yas ruined his good mood for the day, and even the subsequent performances lost a bit of enthusiasm.

"Sir, I have your phone number!"

At this time, a staff member walked quickly and whispered in Kedening's ear, Kedening nodded, left the dressing room, and walked to his own office.

The theater is very small, and all the rooms are crowded together. It is said to be Kedening's office, but it is more like a dressing room with tables and chairs. When the door is opened, there are sundries on the wall. Kedening closes the door, Go to the phone and pick up the phone.

"Hi! Kedening."

A familiar male voice sounded. Hearing his voice, Kedening felt relieved a lot. Before the other party could say anything, Kedening spoke first.

"That man named Naviron is here. He's a bit weird... I suspect he's from the Bureau of Order. We're probably already being targeted."

Ke Dening's eyes turned cold, and there was still a slight chill on his back. When he thought of that tiny possibility, he felt a twinge of fear.

Bureau of Order, a mysterious and frightening extraordinary organization.

"I'm not sure about the first half of your sentence. After all, I haven't seen that guy, but you guessed the second half of the sentence right. I also suspect that we are being targeted by the Bureau of Order."

A man's voice came from the receiver, and it sounded like he was not at ease.

"What happened?" Kedening asked.

"Norm Ward, our downline, he disappeared. I just went to see it in the wandering fork today. His clinic is in a mess, everyone is dead, and the corpses are piled up together."

Bursts of blood came through the phone line, and Ke Dening remained silent.

"I went to the Cobweb Bar to inquire about the news, but no one was clear about it, and then there were some rumors about the 'evil spirit'. They said that the evil spirit attacked there."

"Evil spirit?"

"Yes, evil spirit, you should really go and see the scene. It looks like a monster is eating there. It dismantled the clinic to pieces. The corpses and severed limbs were mixed with the coagulated plasma to form a wall of corpses."

The man's voice hesitated, he said.

"For a moment, I also believed that the evil spirits were real."

"Forget about the so-called evil spirits, what about the goods?" Ke Dening asked.

"It's gone, whether it's the liquid spirit potion or the philosopher's stone... This loss is too great," the man complained, "We shouldn't be hoarding so many goods from Nome."

"Don't complain. If the Bureau of Order really did it, I guess Noam is wailing in the interrogation room. He doesn't know much about us, but some clues will be dug up after all..."

Kedening's words gradually fell silent until the man picked up his words.

"We are no longer safe, Kedening, prepare to evacuate, we have brought enough benefits to 'them', there is no need to risk our lives."

"I know, David, but before leaving Opals, we need to get the goods out. These things cannot stay in Opals... How are you preparing?"

Ke Dening rubbed his temples, bad news kept coming.

"The line is ready. I will be responsible for the transportation of the first batch of goods to check whether the line is safe. If it is safe, then you will take the remaining goods out of Opals."

David recalled the arrangement of the line and continued.

"Leaving from Opals and arriving at Freeport, we will be safe there...Damn it, those people, didn't they say that they can involve the Bureau of Order? How did they get noticed so quickly?"

"I don't know, who knows about this kind of thing? Maybe it's some nosy newcomer?"

Kedening guessed at will, but what he didn't know was that his guess was very accurate. If Adele hadn't died, they wouldn't have been noticed by Burlogo, which caused all the chaos and disputes.

"We may need assistance, and I will report this to the 'ghoul'," Kedening thought about it, and then said, "In short...be safe David, we are all humble little fish and shrimps, and our lives are the most important. important."

"Okay, I'll make arrangements, remember to say hello to Jinny for me."

After David finished speaking, he hung up the phone. Kedening lowered his head, his eyes fell into the darkness, and gradually clenched his fists like iron blocks.

He was like a volcano about to erupt, with a hideous expression on his face.

"gentlemen?"

The door was pushed open, and a person in a performance costume poked his head out.

"what happened?"

Ke Dening raised his head and smiled, the ferocious feeling completely subsided, and he looked like a different person.

"The show is about to begin."

"Ok."

Ke Dening nodded, left the room, and walked along the corridor. There were more people around, and the discussion of the audience could be vaguely heard. Everyone was looking forward to today's performance.

He stood behind the curtain, the chaotic thoughts in his mind continued, which made Ke Dening's spirit exhausted, but at this moment the music played, the curtain slowly opened, and the spotlight fell from the dimness, hitting Ke Dening's body.

Raising his head, Kedening's gaze was absent for a while, and all the complicated voices disappeared in the next moment. He smiled and recited the lines loudly. As if reborn, other actors also walked onto the stage. Accompanied by the gradually exciting music, the The stage play reaches its climax.

Waves of applause poured in like waves, slapping on the stage. Everyone was caught by Ke Dening's performance and moved their hearts.

Even Burlogo, who was sitting in the audience, was the same.

Bologo looked at Kedening, cheering and applauding from time to time, which was really a good performance.

In the later days, Bologo often recalled this scene. He thought, if there really is a God of Destiny in this world, he must be a guy with evil intentions.

He teases everyone, making them make wrong choices, take wrong paths, and lead to wrong endings.

　Happy new year!Everyone!
