Endless Debt.

Chapter 99 Ghoul

It was late at night. At this time, Manan should be sleeping, but now he doesn't feel sleepy at all.

Wearing gray pajamas and a nightcap on his head, he didn't even have time to change, and hurried forward in the corridor of the hotel.

The king's secret sword was defeated in the secret war seven years ago, but they still have a little influence on the city, and the city has not completely escaped control.

"Damn, damn..."

Manan muttered, he was rarely in such a hurry, but a few minutes ago, an urgent message was really difficult to keep him calm.

Standing in front of a door, he adjusted his breathing, tried to remain calm, knocked on the door, and then stepped inside.

The window was open, and the evening wind poured into the room, pulling up the curtains, making the temperature in the room a bit colder.

The man was sitting by the window sill, dressed in casual casual clothes, everything was normal, except for the long sword on his waist.

For a man, this saber never leaves his body, even if he stays at home late at night.

On the black leather scabbard, cumbersome arabesques were outlined with silver threads, and faint floating light floated on it, emitting some dust-like light particles.

The man's hand flicked on the silver cross sword grid, his fingers constantly rubbed against the cold metal, his movements were casual but seemed to be able to draw the sword at any time.

This saber may seem ordinary, but to a man, it has an extremely important meaning.

This is the "secret sword" bestowed by King Kogadel.

Not every king's secret sword will have such a secret sword, only those who are recognized by the royal family will receive the secret sword as a reward.

This represents their identities, and it also represents that they directly serve the Kogadel royal family, and they are the sharp blades that the king hides in the shadows and swings towards the extraordinary world.

The man turned his back to Manan, and he didn't sleep at this time. He looked out of the window with deep eyes, remained silent, and didn't know what he was looking at.

The room was dim, with only the faint light of the night light on the bedside. With the help of these dim lights, Manan could barely see the appearance of the room. Several body bags stood up along the corner of the wall, extending into the deep darkness. .

Manan couldn't help shivering, every time he saw these body bags, he felt a cold feeling that hit his bones.

During the period of working with men, Manan felt that it was the most difficult time for him.

"Manan, every time I see this city, I feel that it is full of magic... a magic that attracts us to put everything into it."

The man opened his mouth before Manan did, but he opened his mouth to talk about something that Manan couldn't understand.

"I still remember the scene when I evacuated here seven years ago. I was not even a sublimation person, just an ordinary soldier. I don't know why, but when I left this city, I felt a great sense of grief. "

The man was puzzled. Over the years, he often recalled that day, but he couldn't think of an answer after all.

"This is not my hometown. I should have no sense of belonging here. As for the frustrated sense of honor? I don't think I have that kind of thing."

Reaching out, he tried to hold the city.

"But it is so fascinating that I have been dreaming about its appearance for so many years..."

"Stop moaning, Thorndike, something is wrong."

Manan strode over, but Thorndike ignored him, his fascination with the city was still on his face.

He is used to this. Since the defeat in the secret war and the king's secret sword was forced to withdraw from Opals, many people have experienced this strange symptom. possessiveness of the city.

Complex emotions and different purposes, as well as the historical disputes when the holy city fell, too many emotions and purposes were mixed into it, making the King's secret sword's desire for this city even more distorted.

The King's Secret Sword is eager to fight another secret war to regain the sworn city, and there are such voices in the King's Secret Sword every year.

There are also some extreme fanatics who say they want to enter the "reclamation room" again and take back Xilin Kogadel's body.As the youngest "glorious person" in the history of the King's Secret Sword, he is very influential in the King's Secret Sword, and even in the hearts of some people, he is like a real god.

"A few hours ago, the Bureau of Order raided the factory of 'Humans'. All the people inside died, including David and Bill, and the goods were not transferred in time." Manan said.

"I see." Thorndike pointed to the radio on the bedside. "The news broadcast said that a factory on the dock exploded and collapsed. The cause is still under investigation."

"What should we do? The Bureau of Order has noticed all of this," Manan asked anxiously, "Although you may be angry when you hear this sentence, you must know that this city is indeed under the control of the Bureau of Order among."

There was a flash of displeasure in Thorndike's eyes, but he hid it well, and there was no need to get mad at Manan.

"There are a lot of losses, but it's acceptable. I met David once before. Since then, the goods of the 'people addicted' have been transferred. Only a part of the goods left at David's place. Most of the goods, I If my guess is correct, it should be on its way to the station.”

The situation is better than expected, and Thorndike has arranged everything properly.

Hearing these words, Manan's frowning eased a lot, he let out a long breath, and was afraid, "Fortunately, the target was reached."

"Yeah, thanks to the target, I don't know that the higher up needs so many souls, what are we going to do?"

Thorndike shook his head in confusion. After the Secret War, he was promoted to Sublimator. Since then, he has been active in the confrontation with the Bureau of Order, but he never imagined that a strange order was issued not long ago.

Collecting souls, collecting souls by any means, this kind of work is extremely unfamiliar to Thorndike, so he had to find the group of mercenaries and use "human addiction" to collect souls.

"Fortunately, everything is coming to an end. It is estimated that tomorrow night we will take the train and leave Opals." Thorndike said.

"Train?" Manan was stunned. "Is this not the same as what I said before? Didn't it arrive at Freeport along the Rhine River and return by sea?"

"That's the plan for the 'human addicts', the real plan is to get off the rail," Thorndike said.

"You never trusted those people?"

"Never, our actions must be kept absolutely secret, only the dead can keep secrets."

Thorndike said indifferently, "From the very beginning, I never thought of letting them survive, including David, it's nothing more than the difference in the order of death."

Extremely cruel words came out of his mouth, no wonder he was called a "ghoul", like a ruthless monster, greedily devouring warm blood and flesh.

"It's just that David died like this, which really surprised me. He was quite dedicated to his work..." Thorndike pondered for a few seconds, and then asked, "Where is Kedening? He is still alive, I remember him There's another show tonight."

"He was still alive, but he disappeared after the performance. Our people went to his house and found no trace of him. He disappeared." Manan was a little uneasy. "He may have been attacked."

Thorndike squinted, not knowing what he was thinking about, and after a while, he said.

"Maybe Kedening defected."

"what?"

"Essentially, Kedening is the leader of 'Humans'. Although I don't like him very much, I have to admit that as a mercenary, he still has some merits. Maybe he has already noticed something."

It occurred to Thorndike, an unlikely but noteworthy point.

"Maybe David betrayed us. He warned Kedening...Forget it, this kind of thing is not important, and they will be useless anyway."

Thorndike waved his hands casually, stood up slowly, walked into the darkness, stretched out his hand and brushed the erected body bags.

"However, Kedening still has some uses."

Thorndike turned to look at Manan and gave him instructions.

"Notify the 'Long Sword Squad' to cooperate with our actions tomorrow night and interfere with the Operation Team of the Bureau of Order until we safely withdraw from Opals, and release the information on Kedening. Release it immediately, and the Bureau of Order cannot be idle."

"Send the team out, who will protect us? The rest of the people are just feinting on the edge of Opus, they can't go deep into the city to assist us, and now there is only this team in the city," Manan retorted, "In this case , just you and me, and some soldiers to escort this train?"

"Isn't that enough?" Thorndike asked.

"I'm just an ordinary person, and I'm not you sublimation fighters. In this case, you, the sublimation fighter, will be the only one to escort the train. If something unexpected happens..."

"No accident, Manan, I'm enough alone."

Thorndike stood between them with his back to the upright body bag, sword raised.

"Don't forget, I am recognized."
