Endless Debt.

When Burrog regained consciousness and his vision became clear, he found that he had left the etheric plane and entered the familiar void.

It is monotonous gray and white everywhere, and the suspended mountains have a sense of stagnation, colliding with each other, raising large pieces of gravel and dust, fluttering.

Bolog stood up slowly, and this scene fell into his calculations... Finally, some things were under control, and Bolog couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and then he just stood up, fell down again, and the whole The person was in big characters and collapsed on the ground.

Now Bologo's mind is in a mess. This exploration of the ether world has been very fruitful. Bologo has discovered too many amazing possibilities. Whenever Bologo feels that the information he has obtained is shocking enough, he will always find it even more terrifying. secret.

Like the last scene when leaving the etheric world.

Across time and space, Bologo saw King Solomon with his own eyes for the first time, even if it was just a phantom in the past, even if Bologo only knew of his existence and had not actually seen him, he would never have the chance to actually see him .

Looking back now, Burlogo still feels an uncontrollable excitement, as if the truth of everything is close at hand.

King Solomon.

Whether it is the secret war or the current battle, all the disputes among the devils today stem from the destruction of the Holy City, which is the beginning of modern disputes... No, the beginning of modern times is not only from the Holy City death.

Burlogo vetoed his own idea and brought up a new retrospective.

Daybreak War.

Thinking about it carefully, that was the real beginning. With the destruction of the Eternal Night Empire, the devils discovered the power of human beings for the first time, and panicked at the out-of-control situation presented by human beings, and then set off disputes again and again.

Burrogo still remembered the name of the witness in "The Oath of Dawn", which was the same name as the young man who fought the devil at the end of Hill's memory.

Wolfgang Gold.

In addition to that, there was the evil devil, who not only appeared in Hill's memory, but also appeared beside King Solomon.

There must be some connection between the few of them that Bologo didn't know, but now everything has become the past, King Solomon is dead, and the real name of the devil is not known to Bologo.

Wanting to know the truth of the past, the only way Burlogo can think of at present is to sneak into the ether world again, and search for memories in the core of the day.

That was an extremely risky behavior. If he was not careful, Bologo would stay there forever. He didn't think the astronauts could rescue him every time, let alone how he could entrust his fate in the hands of the devil.

Bologo rested for a while, and when he sat up again, a familiar figure had been waiting for a long time.

With his bloated spacesuit slumped on a deck chair, he looked as comfortable as if he were on vacation at the beach.

Burrog looked at each other and asked, "What should I call you, astronaut? Or jealous Leviathan."

"Astronaut."

The astronaut said, "I like this name, this is the vanguard of mankind's exploration of the unknown."

In this world, no one can understand what the astronauts said, except for Bologo. This is a secret about the "past life" that belongs to the two of them alone.

"As for the jealous Leviathan, I've never liked that name."

The astronaut stood up, put away the folding chair, hung it behind him, and called to Burrog, "Follow me."

Burlog followed behind the astronaut, facing this abominable devil, Burlog found that the relationship between the two of them was surprisingly harmonious.

The astronaut asked, "How does the etheric adventure feel?"

"It's not bad, there's just a lot of things I don't understand," Burlogo said.

"You can talk to me, I might be able to answer a lot of things for you."

Burrog fell silent, and then the astronaut said again, "Don't be nervous, you are my chosen one, our interests are the same, the more you know, the easier it is for me to act, this is a win-win situation."

"Are you going to refuse?" the astronaut said again, "I can feel that you are dying of curiosity now."

Seeing that Bologo continued to remain silent, the astronaut took the initiative to say, "You guessed right, the etheric world has a set of almost harsh screening conditions, even if there are many sublimation practitioners who arrive at the etheric world and meet the secret source when they are promoted, they only You will feel like you are dreaming and you will feel nothing.

For this reason, the secrets of the ether world were concealed in this way, until today when the concentration of ether is rising, they can no longer hide it. "

Burrog asked, "Hiding what?"

"the truth."

The astronaut replied casually, "The truth of everything, the root of everything, the secret that is enough to subvert everyone's cognition."

He paused, and then said, "I'm also looking for the truth."

"Even the devil doesn't know the truth?"

"maybe."

The astronaut gave a vague answer.

"Your other conjectures are also correct. The soul does not only exist in the material world, but exists in both the material world and the etheric world. After all, human beings do not have souls, and the soul is more like a wonderful product of ether distorting life. within bounds."

As if the astronaut knew what Bologo was thinking, even his conjecture was accurately guessed, which reminded Bologo of everyone, and everyone could also deduce their own behavioral logic.

"Then the memories I saw are actually the mental projections of the soul, right?"

Bologo suddenly realized this, and didn't know what to say for a moment, and then more thoughts came out enthusiastically.

"That's why Canjin's soul cannot be bound..."

Canjin's soul exists in both the material world and the ether world. When the "body" of human beings dies and the "heart" is annihilated, the soul that symbolizes the "spirit" will break away from the shackles of the material world and return to the ether world. Inside, belong to the secret source.

All souls are called by the secret source. In the etheric world, it is eternally fighting against the shadows. Only the blood pact of the devil can truly bind these brilliant souls and drag them from the holy light into the world. shadow.

Bologo suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. He knew where all the souls belonged, and also knew where his friends belonged, and he gained a brief peace of mind.

The countless wandering ghosts are souls that have not yet fully integrated into the core of the day. Every soul that Bologo touches, the memory he appreciates is the mental projection that remains on the soul.

Just like Amy would dream of Alice at first.

Burrog couldn't help asking, "What is the secret source? You, the devil, what are you?"

"You'll find out later."

The astronaut said perfunctorily, "I want you to see this more than these."

He raised his hand and pointed to a slope with an extremely large angle not far away. It was an extremely huge crater, which extended to the end of Burlogo's vision.

When Bologo was wondering what was behind the crater, the astronaut suddenly said abruptly, "By the way, I can't remember clearly. Have I mentioned it to you?"

"What did you mention?"

The astronaut turned his head, and Burrog's face was reflected in the golden mirror.

"My last candidate was King Solomon."

Burrog froze in place, recalling the devil holding the cane in his mind, and his figure gradually overlapped with the astronaut.

A husky laugh sounded from under the astronaut's helmet, and he urged, "Hurry up, Bellogo, we're almost there."

Boluogo's body moved forward uncontrollably, climbing hard. After a long time, he stood on the peak of the crater together with the astronauts. The large boulders above covered all the light, and the inside of the crater was an untouchable darkness.

The astronaut asked, "Actually, you already know where this is?"

Bologo didn't respond, but looked up at the suspended mountains. He thought that there should be very few people in this world who could witness such a scene with their own eyes.

The astronaut raised his hand, and with his waving, it was like wiping a picture on a blackboard. The heavy mountains separated the narrow road, and the light illuminated the darkness of the crater through the gap.

Burrog saw the blue and clear planet behind the mountains, like a gem of color, the afterglow of the sun flickering on the edge of the sphere.

Sea of ​​clouds, ocean, mountains, cities...

In an instant, Bologo felt absolute peace, all distracting thoughts disappeared, and his mind was completely immersed, without the slightest ups and downs.

Burlog had come to like this place, and if he could he could have sat here all day, just watching in peace.

A little golden light broke into Bologo's field of vision, his attention was taken away from the blue and clear planet, his eyes moved down, and Bologo saw the huge man-made object in the center of the crater.

No one in this world would be able to recognize the existence of this thing, but relying on the memory of "previous life", Bologo recognized the essence of this creation at first glance.

It was an observatory standing in the center of the crater.

The golden wings unfolded like solar panels surround the high platform, and the circuits and machinery are intertwined. There are also many alchemy equipment installed in it. The thick ether is bred in the metal, and it is built together with extraordinary power and modern technology this precision instrument.

Layers of lenses were raised high, but they were not pointed at the stars, but aimed at the blue and clear planet, making the reflection of the planet clearly reflected on the mirror.

Burrog couldn't help looking at the astronaut beside him, waiting for him to decrypt himself, trying to figure out what he was planning here.

"Don't worry, you'll find out soon."

As the astronaut said, he walked downhill. Every time he jumped, he could cover a distance of several meters. Burogo also jumped up and followed closely behind the astronaut.

The successive shocks have made Burlogo's heart numb. He doesn't know how the astronauts built such a behemoth in this desolate place, let alone what is the significance of the astronauts setting their own land here. .

Burrog could only follow the astronaut, waiting for him to tell his dark secret.

Like the curse of knowledge, he clearly knows that the other party is a devil, and he clearly knows that what awaits him next is a dark future, but Bologo can't control himself, and it is difficult to curb the strong rising thirst for knowledge, eager to know what is hidden. Secrets in filth, even that would swamp itself.

Burrog was startled and afraid, happy and angry.

After a short advance, the two arrived at the bottom of the observatory. Under the shadow of the building, there was a temporary camp. The astronauts seemed to really love movies, just like Belphegor. A simple open-air cinema has been built, and two folding chairs have been placed here in advance, just like the astronauts knew that they would come.

"The Bureau of Order has already obtained the original object," said the astronaut. "You have also discovered that for this world, the ether may be a foreign object."

The astronaut sat on the recliner, his bloated appearance almost squeezed out of the recliner.

Burlogo sat in another recliner, his mind alternately confused and lucid.

"Yes, we found that," Burlogo replied, like a student answering a question. "It may have something to do with the rising concentration of ether."

"That's right, the concentration of ether," the astronaut nodded, "the concentration of ether in the whole world is continuously rising."

"What do you think will happen if you continue to let it go? Burlogo."

"what happened?"

"Yeah, imagine it, you've always had a pretty good imagination, haven't you?"

Burrog paused for a moment, and told the astronauts about the scene that was hidden in his heart and had been rehearsed countless times.

"First, there is a breakthrough in the alchemy matrix technology. Under the high-concentration ether environment, the combat capability of sublimation users will become stronger, and the shackles between ranks will be loosened. Even the envisioned crowned person has a high probability. Will be born someday in the future."

"That's a positive," the astronaut commented.

"While progressing, danger is also secretly brewing. I have been to the wind source highlands and looked at the sea area called the sea of ​​anger from a distance. There are high-concentration ether vortexes lingering there, and the almost substantial ether is directly in the material world. A supernatural phenomenon was set off within."

Bologo murmured, "As the concentration of ether continues to rise, there will be more and more such ether vortex points, and uncontrolled supernatural phenomena will gradually invade the human world until everything is messed up."

Through the ether and the alchemy matrix, the desublimator can distort the material world and create various supernatural powers, but this power belongs to the control of the desublimator after all, and nature is disordered and crazy. No one knows that the raging ether , What a terrible effect it will have.

"Look at this, Bologo."

Astronauts press the remote control, and weather maps appear on the screen.

"This is a data map compiled based on the information I have collected in recent years and the data obtained from the all-seeing eye."

The weather map began to zoom in, changing frame by frame. The white weather first covered the sea, and then invaded the inland.

Burrogo knew that this was not a weather map, but that the air current-like image it presented was the majestic ocean-like ether current cruising over this world.

"The extraordinary phenomenon similar to the raging sea will gradually cover the sea, sailing will become extremely dangerous, and even human shipping will be completely paralyzed, and then there will be an invasion of the inland, terrible disasters will destroy many cities, and many people will die. people would be huddled in the fortresses of the great cities.

Human civilization will regress in such a crisis, and basic science will be severely hit, but correspondingly, a new extraordinary era will come, and the desublimator will come out from behind the curtain and occupy a dominant position in this world.

It will be a dark age. Extraordinary disasters will take away most of human territory and drag the world into unknown darkness. Diseases will be rampant, wars will break out, and a large number of arable land will be lost, followed by food shortages and famines. Death will fill everyone's life. "

The astronaut stated his deduction, "What's worse, this is not just a prophecy, but a fact that is destined to happen in the future."

Burlogo raised his question, "How can you be sure of that."

"This observatory, I call it the all-seeing eye, it took me many years to build it, but fortunately, I finally caught up."

The astronaut introduced his great creation.

"Many years ago, I built a similar thing, but its lens pointed to the starry sky to explore unknown lands, but now, this alchemy astronomical telescope is used by me to point at the planet we live on.

It can observe most of the ether concentration changes in the planet in detail, detect the movement of each ether flow, and all ether transfers cannot escape its eyes.

When needed, it can even lock its eyes on a local area, and the ether flow of an individual Desublimer cannot escape its observation. "

The astronaut offered an explanation that Burlogo couldn't refuse.

"As long as you have enough data support and computing power, you can calculate the chaotic future and make the unknown known."

Burrog agreed inwardly, "Like all the others."

The astronauts pieced together the changes in the weather map and turned it into a video. What Burlogo didn't notice was that with the changes in the weather map, the hands of the clock in the corner of the film were also slowly advancing.

"What are you going to do?" Burrog asked puzzled. "Save the world? Are you kidding me?"

"Why can't the devil save the world?"

The astronaut asked back, "To be honest, the increase in ether concentration is not in my interest."

"Think about it, humans are so powerful now, and the alchemy matrix technology has improved after the concentration of ether has risen, do we devils really have the ability to control you? Not to mention, extraordinary disasters will lead to the death of a large number of people. To me, a population is an ear of rice waiting to be harvested."

The astronaut let out a burst of laughter.

"It's time to make a decision, sit idly by, or help me solve this problem."

Burrog's eyes were straight, with a sickly meaning, fixed on the golden mask on the astronaut's helmet, and looked at himself in the golden mirror.

"No... something is wrong."

Bologo shook his head, "Does the rise in ether concentration represent the overlap between the ether world and the material world..."

The astronaut responded, "You also saw that disgusting mass. Unlike my blood relatives, I don't really want that mass to reach the physical world."

"My blood relatives are not trustworthy, even if I have a covenant with them, the only thing we can trust is each other."

"That sounds ridiculous."

Burrog shook his head. He was actually bound to the astronauts, and he was still a so-called ally of absolute trust.

The world within cognition has gradually become absurd and weird in the eyes of Burlogo, like a newborn baby who is getting to know the whole picture of the world for the first time.

"You don't have to make a decision right now," the astronaut said, eyeing Burrog. "I'm looking forward to it, Burrog."

"I look forward to that moment, and that moment, your choice."
