Chapter 1 Pretentious daily life

After getting up, washing his face and brushing his teeth, Palmer stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, overlooking the magnificent Oath City Opos. As the golden skyline at the end of the city gradually rose, the street lights on the streets were extinguished one by one, and the night was receding. This city

The city, and many people in this city, are slowly waking up from their dreams.

Palmer is not a person who is used to getting up early. In daily life, his work and rest can definitely be called chaotic, which is completely opposite to the orderly Boluogo.

Most of the time, it was Bologg who got up first. Like an alarm clock accurate to the second, he woke himself up by smashing the door or breaking in.

It's like a wonderful symbiotic way. The living conditions of Bologna and Palmer gradually synchronize, integrate, and even complement each other, just like their relationship as partners, working together.

Under normal circumstances, this is a very good state. The two people have a tacit understanding and are connected. As time goes by and the number of incidents increases, this connection continues to become closer to each other until they unite into an indestructible rock.

.

But this is only limited to normal circumstances. The world is constantly changing, both people and things. You must know that nothing in this world is eternal, let alone the differences between people.

It’s related.

Palmer hadn't seen Burlogo for a while.

Since the Land of Evernight incident two months ago, Bologo has gradually disappeared from people's sight. No one knows where he is or what he is doing, not even his partner, Palmer himself.

Don't understand.

At first, Palmer was quite complacent. Due to the disappearance of Burlogo, the special operations team fell into a brief shutdown. Palmer's vacation was continuously extended, and until now, there was no specific work assigned to him.

No employee would hate a vacation, let alone a guy like Palmer who just lives his life.

Palmer first reversed day and night for several days. After a full cycle of reverse work and rest, his biological clock actually became healthy, and it has continued until now two months later.

"Another boring day..."

Palmer fell on the sofa, staring at the ceiling and making a blank sound.

During this long vacation, Palmer found a lot of things to do for himself, such as reading books and watching movies. But gradually, Palmer found that he was losing interest in them little by little.

It's not that these works have become boring, but that Palmer realizes that he prefers to share them with others rather than keep them to himself, which is why he always drags Bologo with him every time he watches a movie.

Palmer wondered if he was feeling lonely.

Since they partnered with Burlogo, the two have not been separated for too long, and the house has never been as empty as it is now. This strange melancholy made Palmer feel a little funny for a moment, like a hypocritical person.

's children.

In order to relieve boredom, Palmer wandered around the Bureau of Order from time to time to see if there was any work he could do. This move shocked Lebius and Jeffrey, and they once thought that Palmer's brain was broken.

After hitting a wall here, Palmer went to the Immortal Club again, and Sere said that they already had a waiter, so there was no need for another one, let alone a male waiter.

Palmer also thought about returning to Fengyuan Highlands for a while, but when he thought of his father and the mess in Fengyuan Highlands, he just thought about it.

Later, Palmer found Vosilin. She worked very smoothly in the Bureau of Order. As the liaison specialist with the Ridge of the Mountains, she took her work very seriously and everyone spoke highly of her.

Palmer hoped to get some comfort from his fiancée, some...some feeling of being needed, so that his existence could gain some value recognition, but unfortunately, after Vosilin had been with him for a while, he

I had to say goodbye to him and get back to work again.

Woxilin likes the life in the Order Bureau. She feels that she is needed and the value of life is verified, instead of just being a mascot and eating and drinking every day like in the days in Fengyuan Highland.

Now, Palmer has fully understood Vosilin's mood at that time, and the two have reversed roles, making the experience more real and in-depth.

Everyone had their own things to do, except Palmer who didn't have to do anything.

For the first time, Palmer hoped that the vacation would end soon, and he began to miss Bologna.

The Bureau of Order did not overly publicize the existence of Bologo, the newly promoted Glorious One, but simply reported the news among the top management. Bologg mysteriously disappeared after that.

Palmer guessed that Burlogo should be performing some extremely intense tasks, or perhaps preparing some grand plans, but no matter what he was preparing, it had nothing to do with Palmer.

Palmer was just the one with the power. Unknowingly, he had opened a huge gap with Boluogo and was unable to touch the peak battlefield.

Not being needed, being recognized as having no self-worth, and gradually growing apart from your partner, making it difficult to catch up...

The bottom of Palmer's heart was like a cauldron, filled with messy things, boiling into lumps of grotesque and incomprehensible things.

In an unbearable and peaceful life, no matter how heartless Palmer is, he will still fantasize about what will happen next from time to time.

As the Glory One, Boluogo will inevitably rise to the rank. He will be regarded as the top force of the Bureau of Order and become one of the most powerful people. Although, as a debtor, he is not qualified to become the director, but

Whether it is becoming a deputy director or the director of the field department, it is an unimaginable noble status.

Speaking of which, deputy directors and field ministers don’t need partners, right? Just like Nathaniel, he is an army by himself, and Bologo is even more so.

What will happen to me then? Will I take over Bologo's position and become the next leader of the special operations team, and then just like what happened in the past, recruit new team members and continue various operations?

If we really reach such a future, Palmer and Boluogo will go on a crossroads. The two will no longer be team members, partners, and most likely will not live together anymore... Also, at that time, I will also

She should get married and live with Vosilin.

The good life they have now has become history, and Palmer and Burlogo will also enter the next stage of their lives.

Suddenly, Palmer felt inexplicably panicked. This may sound childish and pretentious, but he would indeed feel panicked and uneasy by the changes in things around him.

I remember that when he was in college, on the eve of his separation from his roommate, Palmer was extremely reluctant to leave. He even cried out of emotion during his hangover. He missed this beautiful life and tried to save it.

Lost, but time will only move forward unswervingly, driving everyone's life.

A similar situation also happened with Palmer's feelings for Vosilin. It took him a long time to get over that hurdle. Although it was said that the hurdle was too short, it could be crossed by just lifting his feet.

.

Through factual cases again and again, Palmer gradually realized that he was a person who was prone to fear of the unknown and attachment to stability.

Yes, I am such a carefree guy in normal times, but prone to being sentimental in private.

In fact, Palmer also knew that his troubles were not a big deal at all, but when he thought that he and Boluogo would break up, and the movie marathons he held from time to time became far away, he would still fall into a shallow sadness.

Show a slightly vulnerable side of yourself.

Palmer does not have any excessive desires, only some seemingly small and cheap wishes.

"Don't be so pretentious, Palmer. You are a powerful holder of power and the heir of the Clerks family. How can you be like this?"

Palmer rubbed his face vigorously and tried not to think about those things, but no matter how hard he tried, his mind was still in a mess.

Suddenly, a slight chill spread from Palmer's heart. Almost as soon as he noticed something strange, he sat up from the sofa and pulled out a sharp dagger from under the sofa cushion.

Palmer's sentimentality is only reflected in his private life. When it comes to serious work matters, he will be as hard as a rock.

The etheric perception dispersed, and after careful inspection, Palmer found nothing strange. It seemed that the strange feeling in his heart just now was just an illusion, a false trigger of self-alarm.

Palmer carefully put the dagger down, and after making sure nothing happened, he let out a long sigh and fell on the sofa again.

Obviously, since the disappearance of Boluogo, Palmer's spirit has become no longer as relaxed as before, but has become highly tense.

No matter how Bologg looks in the eyes of others, he has always been an extremely reliable existence in Palmer's eyes. As long as Bologg is around, Palmer can maintain a mindless life, no matter what happens.

In everything, you just have to follow Boluogo's arrangements, just like entrusting your body and mind to your partner.

Thinking of this, Palmer missed his partner even more and became more reluctant to leave this stable and happy life.

"Palmer..."

A hazy female voice echoed in Palmer's ears. It seemed to be Vosilin's voice, but after careful identification, it seemed to be different. The strange thing was that Palmer was not unfamiliar with this mysterious voice.

, on the contrary, it is extremely familiar.

It seemed that the owner of the voice had a deep soul connection with himself, but the closer the connection, the harder it became for Palmer to remember the appearance of the owner of the voice.

Palmer frowned and said to himself, "Damn it, I've been alone for a long time, am I hallucinating?"

As an energetic guy, a lonely life is indeed a torture for Palmer, but he doesn't think he is fragile enough to have such nonsense as hallucinations.

Standing up, a glimmer of ether appeared in his eyes. Palmer wondered if he had been attacked by an enemy. You should know that the staff living outside the reclamation house had a chance of encountering such a thing.

The palm of his hand flipped, as if by magic, Palmer held the lucky dice firmly in his hand, grabbed the dagger, and followed the sound forward.

"Palmer..."

Strangely, Ruoyouruowu's calling continued, but Palmer could not detect any etheric reaction. He followed the sound, opened the door, and went up the stairs to the rooftop.

A gust of wind blew across the roof of the building, and the surge of air made Palmer feel relieved. At the same time, he also found the source of the sound.

It was a woman standing on the edge of the rooftop. She was wearing a gorgeous and exaggerated red dress, and her entire white back was exposed. Under the sunlight, it shone brightly. Corresponding to this beauty, she was a woman.

The uncontrollable blasphemous anger in his body.

"The Bureau of Order has such records. Some staff living outside were attacked by the enemy." Palmer held the dagger in front of him, "But such incidents mostly happen to low-level sublimation practitioners. Usually,

No one would be foolish enough to attack a person in power."

Regardless of the fact that Palmer has been unable to intervene in recent incidents, this is not because Palmer is too weak, but because the enemy is ridiculously strong. Now, as a person in charge of power, he is enough to walk sideways on most battlefields.

.

Palmer muttered in his mind, "You're lucky, my Glorious roommate isn't home."

The woman ignored Palmer's words. She turned around slowly and swung her scarlet skirt like a flower swaying in the wind.

The moment he saw the woman's appearance, Palmer froze on the spot. It was a face that was both strange and familiar. Looking back on Palmer's life, this should be the second time he had seen this face in detail, and it was also this face.

Changing his face completely changed the trajectory of Palmer's life.

"Long time no see, Palmer," Beelzebub began, "my dear debtor."

The illusory umbilical cord extended from Palmer's abdomen and connected to Beelzebub's abdomen, as if Palmer was a being conceived by her.

Palmer's eyes widened and he kept a dull expression. His hands dropped down weakly. Even the dagger in his hand was discarded and fell to the ground with a crisp metallic sound.

Beelzebub smiled, and she walked slowly towards Palmer, the distance between the two constantly shortening.

Similarly, the ether in Palmer's body is constantly accumulating and compressing.

"What a bad luck!"

Palmer suddenly cursed, and the next moment strong winds gathered around him, forming a rapidly rising storm. Countless cracks were cut on the ground by the wind blades, and the airflow was distorted and screamed sharply.

Before Beelzebub could get closer, Palmer twisted into a blurry shadow, rose up on the spot, left a pale scratch in the sky with a loud roar, and disappeared from Beelzebub's field of vision.

Palmer's movements were so fluent, his operations were so fast, and his consciousness was so decisive that even Beelzebub was in a daze. She overestimated Palmer's courage and underestimated his vigilance. She originally thought that Palmer

He would confront himself, but Palmer didn't give Beelzebub any chance at all.

Thinking of this, the smile on Beelzebub's face became even brighter. Although she didn't have much contact with Palmer, she liked Palmer as a debtor, not only because of Palmer's comical blood contract ceremony.

, and more because no one could have imagined that a debtor of the accidental blood contract would eventually grow to this point and become Bologo's best friend.

Beelzebub gradually realized this a long time ago, but she did not use Palmer rashly until now.

Now, all conflicts have intensified to the most acute level, and it is the time to resort to any means.

Palmer didn't know Beelzebub's complicated thoughts. He only knew that after he became an old man living alone, he was suddenly visited by the devil. The plot was as scary as a horror movie.

He directly ignored many regulations of the Order Bureau and used secret energy in the city. Like a meteor, it took less than a few minutes to hit the door of the Kenshi at high speed.

The employees passing by stopped and looked at the guy slowly standing up in shock. Palmer took a deep breath and rushed directly towards the door of the nursery.
