For many new field staff, secret war is just a slightly distant term that is classified in history. However, for these team leaders who are active on the front line and have certain powers, secret war is enough to engrave their history.

The scars deep in their souls.

Nowadays, most of the team leaders in the Field Service Department have experienced secret wars, sharpening themselves in blood and fire, and forging sharper blades.

Although he was clearly on a wide street, Boluoge felt an inexplicable pressure, as if his whole body was imprisoned in a narrow confinement room.

"The joke wasn't funny," Burlogo said.

"I think so," Lebius nodded in agreement, "I think it may be difficult for me to learn what humor is in this life."

"Do you want to tell me something? About those things in the past." Bologg asked, he was always so sharp.

"Let me think about it... I haven't recalled these things for a long time. It seems like not long has passed, but my memory has become mottled."

Lebius then asked Bologo, "Have you ever heard of the so-called second group?"

"Absolutely not."

Bologo shook his head. There were many classifications of action groups in the Field Support Department, arranged according to serial numbers, but in the battle order, he had never heard of a second group.

"The second group, Defending the Order Blade, was once the main action group of the Bureau of Order. It consisted of a very large number of people. At its peak, there were hundreds of sublimation practitioners on standby. You can regard it as the essence of the Bureau of Order.

Legion of soldiers.”

The words of Lebius made Boluogo's heart tremble slightly. A long time ago, Boluogo had dreamed about the large-scale formation of Sublimation Ones and what a terrifying extraordinary force they would be. Now it seems that this is more than just

Fantasy, the Bureau of Order had done this a long time ago.

"I was also a member of the second group at the time. When Xilin invaded, as the main action group, we were fully mobilized to fight against the King's Secret Sword."

Lebius' tone was very calm, as if he was telling another person's story, which had nothing to do with him at all.

"What happened after that, as you know, we launched an all-out war in the shadows, and countless bodies fell, some lying in dark alleys, some on busy streets, and some

Falling into the chasm."

"What about the more details?" Bologg asked tentatively, "The part about you...the part that made you become what you are now."

Bologo agrees very much with the saying that a person is the sum of his past experiences.

It is precisely because of the Wrath of the Scorched Earth, the Fall of the Holy City and other crazy things that the current Bologo Lazarus was born. Without any link, Bologo would not have grown into what he is today.

, the same is true for Lebius.

Boluogo wanted to know the part that changed Lebius's life and led him to the wrong path in life.

Lebius glanced at Boluogo and said with a conflicted expression, "To be honest, I don't want to talk about this."

"But you made such a start," said Borogo. "What are you hesitating about?"

"Maybe I'm afraid that people will discover my vulnerable side."

Boluogo felt this sincerely, "I don't think you are fragile, team leader. To be honest, sometimes, I think you are more stubborn and crazy than me."

Bologo knew that Lebius would tell him all that, but now he was just not used to opening his heart to others.

Thinking of this, Boluogo couldn't help but feel a sense of honor. Lebius trusted him and accepted him, so he told him what happened next.

It felt good to be recognized by others, and Boluogo felt light-headed.

Lebius laughed after hearing this. The smile did not last long, and his expression became cold again.

"Jeffrey and I have known each other a long time ago, long before we took up our jobs."

As he told the story, Lebius in Bologna's eyes gradually became more real and comprehensive. He was no longer just a workaholic with a single label, but became sentimental.

"I have no impression of my parents. They can be ignored... Jeffrey and I have lived in the same orphanage since childhood. On the surface, the orphanage is taking care of homeless children like us, but secretly, it is...

Select new blood for the Bureau of Order."

Lebius explained, "You can think of it as a military academy that starts from early childhood."

"I can understand." This was no stranger to Boluogo, and then he realized something, "That's not what you told me at the beginning. You said you have a happy family."

"That was my disguised claim to the outside world. As you said, no one wants to be seen by others as a vulnerable side," Lebius continued. "After rounds of screening, Jeffrey and I have certain qualities."

With our etheric affinity, we were selected into the list. After we grew up, they found us and asked about our intentions. After careful consideration, Jeffrey and I decided to join the Bureau of Order, and thus entered the

This extraordinary world.”

Lebius continued, "I regretted it at first. I thought it was a wrong decision. The extraordinary world is much more difficult than I imagined."

"Didn't they tell you the pros and cons at the beginning?" Bologo asked, which sounded like the Order was coaxing these children.

"Let's make it clear, they said we would enter another strange and magnificent world, but the price is that we might die somewhere... I was only a teenager at the time, and my hormones were all over the place and my brain was lacking.

At Xian's age, I think fighting and killing is very cool." Lebius still did not give up his humor.

Bologo's expression was slightly complicated, and it was hard to imagine that Lebius had such a past.

"Okay, I'm just kidding. I'm not that stupid. Helpless children like us will always mature quickly. After explaining the pros and cons, I realized the dangers. I wanted to

refused, but Jeffrey agreed."

"I asked him, are you crazy? These lunatics might send us to the battlefield, but Jeffrey said that he was curious about what such a world would be like. He also told me that even if we don't get along with these people

Go away, when you grow up, you will still be kicked out, find a mediocre job, and spend a mediocre life. Maybe you will not even have a mediocre life and die on the street.

This is a rare opportunity, he said."

Burlogo said, "Jeffrey changed your mind?"

"No, people like us are very stubborn, aren't we? How could he possibly convince me? It's just that when I thought about it, if Jeffrey left with them, I wouldn't have any friends. I don't have many friends there.

.”

Lebius laughed at himself, "I didn't leave with them because of my overwhelming hormones and stupid ideas. Instead, I was afraid of living alone there. In the end, I chose to go with them."

"What happens next?" Boluogo asked curiously.

"After repenting, my life unexpectedly got better. The extraordinary world is indeed wonderful. My understanding is refreshed every day. Besides Jeffrey, I have made more friends, just like the coming-of-age stories in TV series.

Likewise, we learned, trained, grew, and joined together, and even became colleagues and served in the second group together."

"Me, Jeffrey, Yas, Yin Fan... we are all employees of the same period, and we were all members of the second group. During the Secret War, we fought side by side and fought with the King's Secret Sword."

The beautiful memories were over, and Lebius's words became heavier.

"Usually, the Order Bureau will not cancel the establishment of an action group, unless the action group has been severely damaged and difficult to rebuild. At this time, the Order Bureau will disband the action group, seal the sequence as a souvenir, and disperse the remaining team members to other

action group, or establish a new action group.”

Lebius showed his sad emotions and revealed his sincerity, "The second group was broken up in the secret war. My group leader died in the battle, and my friends also fell one after another. In the end,

Only a few of us survived."

Boluogo realized the subtlety of the conversation and asked directly, "Why are you telling me this now? It's not just me who reminds you of the past, right?"

The look on Lebius gradually became serious. When Bologo thought about Freeport again, he had his taboo suspicions about Lebius.

The connection between the Bureau of Order and the devil was much more complicated than Boluogo imagined, and he had to turn his thoughts towards the dark side.

"Team leader, you..."

Lebius interrupted Bologo, "Bologo, do you still remember the conditions for recruiting members of our special operations team?"

"debtor."

Lebius and Bologo looked at each other. From Lebius's eyes, Bologo saw the anger that had never been extinguished, but his expression was so calm that it was chilling.

After flexing his fingers, Lebius looked at his rough palms and murmured.

"Sometimes I can't tell whether it's the pain from the Secret War that keeps me going until now, or the devil's blessing that keeps me from falling."

Bologg discovered a terrible secret. Although he had a premonition, when it turned from fantasy to reality, Bologg's heart still became blank.

"Does Jeffrey know this?" Borrowgo asked.

"I don't know, only the decision-making room knows these things," Lebius said helplessly, "There is no way, Red Dog is an extremely troublesome guy. In order to target him, I asked for the power of the devil, but he still escaped.

Tribulation.”

Lebius continued, "Just like Aimu, I don't think I am a debtor in the clear sense."

Boluogo understood everything at this time, and he asked nervously.

"Is it Belphegor?"

Looking into Lebius's eyes, Boluogo knew that he had guessed correctly. He then asked, "What did you deal with him?"

Lebius was silent for a moment, and he shook his head.

"I didn't make a deal with him."

he added.

"I made a bet with the devil."

…

A deal with the devil must pay a heavy price, and some people want to avoid their own price, so they choose more dangerous behaviors.

bet.
