In the year 1244 of the Rhenish calendar, the oath city Opos.
Boluogo sat on the roadside with a cigarette in his mouth and an expressionless face.
"Adele, I will help you get revenge soon."
He murmured to himself and threw the burning cigarette butt forward. It fell and bounced up, bringing up sparks and disappearing into the river flowing by the road.
The river is rushing, starting from the other end of the field of vision, and quickly disappearing into the other end of the night.
There are many such rivers in Opos, and their main trunk is a large river that meanders along Opos. That big river is called the Rhine.
It flows through various countries, and it is said that its source is in the deepest part of the Rhine League. It is a pity that Bologg has never been to such a far place in his life, and he does not know if he will have the opportunity to verify all this.
Looking at the mountains-like buildings in the distance, after staring for a while, he lowered his head and glanced at his still glowing palms, or blood vessels.
In the sickly pale palm, cyan light flashed from time to time. The light came from the blood vessels in the flesh, like an electrified circuit, bursting out in a bright trajectory.
As a debtor, Bologo actually has some similarities with the devil. For example, a corner of his soul is missing, exposing a hole like an abyss.
The hollow will make people hungry, twisted, and transformed into monster-like demons, forcing the demons to thirst for other people's souls, and driving debtors to redeem their own souls.
Burlogo had been troubled by this when he was in the dark cell. Whenever hunger struck, it felt really bad.
It's like... it's like a tiny black hole appears inside the body, spinning and swallowing. It greedily eats everything around it, swallowing bones, flesh and blood, everything into it. The matter squeezes each other and collapses.
, and finally stuffed into the tiny hole, dripping with blood.
After physical pain, comes mental torture. You will feel thirsty, hungry, sleepy, exhausted and other negative emotions. You try to satisfy yourself, try to drink water, eat, sleep, but unfortunately, the hole will always be empty.
When you are dissatisfied, the only thing that can alleviate it and fill it up is the soul.
Mania, that's what people in prison call the symptoms of empty restlessness.
Whenever a mania attack occurs, Bologg is tortured until he wants to chew on the wall. After he was released from prison, he was worried about the outbreak of mania. But when Bologg killed the first demon, he discovered
abnormal.
Cyan light spots.
All demons killed by Boluogo will have cyan light spots overflowing from their bodies after death. He tried to trick his enemies several times during the battle, and finally concluded that only he could see such abnormal light spots.
At first, Boluogo didn't know what this thing was, so he thought it was a vision caused by the activation of his "gift", but soon he noticed that he had not been tortured by mania for a long time...
After asking Jeffrey for relevant knowledge, Bologo deduced the nature of these cyan light spots.
The fragments of soul.
As long as demons are killed, Bologo can eat the fragments of souls from their remains.
He didn't know where this ability came from, so he could only attribute it to the ability that came with it when he made a blood contract with the devil.
Compared with his "gift", Boluogo is more satisfied with this ability. Every time he kills a demon, the fragments of the soul will be integrated into the body to fill the gap in the soul, making the hole quiet and delaying mania.
of the outbreak.
Just like a satiated evil ghost, Boluogo will feel a great sense of satisfaction after "eating". Boluogo even doubts that if he cuts enough demons, will one day be able to completely fill the gap?
Fill it up and make your soul whole again.
But that kind of thing is still a bit too far away. Killing the devil for a year is just to get rid of the torture of mania.
But as long as you live long enough and chop enough... maybe, maybe this is not impossible.
The night wind was a bit cold, so I wrapped myself up in my clothes involuntarily, but my clothes were in tatters and had burnt holes everywhere.
Looking back, the church was in flames. Bologg looked at the charred ruins and thought about whether to get closer to the fire to keep warm, but when he saw the people surrounding the street, he gave it up.
The church collapsed in flames, and the devil was buried within.
It was quite a poetic scene, but Boluogo had a headache. He could already think of what his boss said to him, "I'm just hunting a demon, there's no need to set the whole church on fire" and other complaints.
But there is nothing that can be done about it. Every time Bologo is too involved in "work", he will forget the surrounding environment.
"What bad luck."
Boluogo whispered that he was an unlucky man, and he has maintained his unlucky status quo since he came to this world.
"It's been so long since I came to this world."
Thinking of this, Boluogo remembered his appearance before coming to this city, or in other words, his previous life...at least he thought that was his previous life.
Unlike time travel, Bologo is more like being reborn in this world.
With the memories of his previous life, he was born into this world, in an ordinary person's home.
At first, Boluogo was extremely panicked, but in the face of the absolute reality, he had no way to resist, so he could only accept it calmly, and thus he survived in such an ordinary way.
Boluogo planned his life very well. He would first grow up safely, become familiar with the world, and then collect relevant information - he did not feel that his arrival in this world was an accident.
Yes, Boluogo always felt that this was not an accident. There must be some reason why he came to this world, but he didn't know it yet.
The plan was good, but the reality was very harsh. Before Bologo could pursue any ideals in life, he realized one thing.
Bolog's family in this world is not rich, it is just an ordinary family. The family does not have enough funds to support Bolog to go to university and gain a deeper understanding of the world.
So when Boluoge came of age, he had to run around for money, rice, oil and salt. By accident, he joined the army and became a soldier. By coincidence, he made a deal with the devil, received a "gift" and became the so-called
debtor.
At first, Bologo was delighted that he had gained extraordinary power and was finally able to understand the world more deeply. However, the joy did not last for a few days before he was arrested as a debtor.
In this world, everything related to the devil is strictly guarded. According to the boss, those who can be killed will be killed, and those who cannot be killed will be locked up.
Fortunately among the misfortunes, Bologo belongs to the category that cannot be killed.
"Bologo Lazarus!"
The shouts brought Boluogo back to reality. He slowly stood up and looked at the man approaching him, waving towards him under the firelight.
"Yo! Jeffrey."
Bologger responded casually.
Jeffrey Kaga, the person currently in charge of dealing with Bologo, is the nominal boss. He always wears a shabby black coat and a black hat. He is middle-aged and fat, with a slightly bulging belly.
He gave people a very gentle feeling. Bologg once said that if Jeffrey became a grandfather, his children would definitely like him very much, but this kind appearance is being replaced by rising anger.
The distance between the two gradually shortened, and they faced each other.
Jeffrey took deep breaths repeatedly, trying to calm down his emotions, and the sound was forced out from between his teeth.
"Why... why did it become like this again?" He raised his hands with a look of grief and indignation, pointing at the burning church, "Wow! Such a big church! That's all!"
"Who knows, maybe the priest got lost at the last moment and decided to repent in the fire?"
Boluogo happily tried to shirk responsibility.
The piercing siren sounded, and after a brief commotion, the fire truck also arrived to control the fire.
Jeffrey stared at Boluogo. This gaze lasted for a long time, and finally ended with him sighing helplessly.
"Sigh...you debtors are indeed a troublesome bunch."
He looked at Bologo's ragged appearance, took off his coat, and handed it to Bologg.
"But wasn't I very efficient? Not a single devil on the list was missed, and there were no innocent casualties."
Boluogo took the coat and put it on skillfully, as if this kind of trouble had happened many times.
Jeffrey paused for a few seconds, the cold wind scratching his face. He sighed helplessly again, stood next to Boluogo, and looked at the burning church together.
The firelight filled Jeffrey's vision. Thinking of the demon who had died in the church, even he had to admire that Boluogo was strong enough.
Demons are a group of greedy monsters, and hunting demons has become an extremely dangerous job. Deaths are commonplace.
But Boluogo is different. He doesn't need the cooperation of his teammates or any assistance. He doesn't need to worry about casualties... As long as he is sent there alone, he can solve all problems perfectly. However, after each action, some property will be attached.
damage.
Of course, compared to life and death, such damage to property is completely within the tolerance range.
"I have to say, Bolog, you might be a genius," Jeffrey murmured to himself, "a genius at dealing with these troublesome things."
"He's an expert."
Bologo corrected him.
"Yes, expert." Jeffrey agreed with Boluogo's words. He hesitated and continued.
"This weekend, your observation period will end."
Hearing this, Boluogo was silent for a second or two, "Well, I know."
"This will determine whether you continue to stay or be sent back to the dark cell." Jeffrey said.
"Do you think I will stay or be sent back?" Bologo looked at Jeffrey.
"I don't know. It's not entirely up to me to decide." He shook his head.
"Oh, your 'boss', right?"
"yes."
The conversation between the two fell into silence, and Boluogo thought.
devil.
People still don’t know enough about the existence of evil and treachery, so they can only try to beware of its influence as much as possible. Therefore, whether they are debtors or demons, all existences related to the devil will be affected by the relevant departments once they are exposed.
severe crackdown.
In their words, the law only targets human beings. Human beings who have made a deal with the devil are no longer regarded as human beings... Therefore, as a debtor, Boluogo has no human rights at all. The trial of life imprisonment is for him
, can be considered a judge’s mercy.
Logically speaking, he should stay in a dark prison until his death...if Bologo can die naturally.
Until a year ago, he was released. It was said that "those people" were preparing to select a group of elites from the imprisoned debtors to serve them and deal with all supernatural events related to the devil.
It is also called the prisoner army.
Compared with ordinary people, debtors are undoubtedly much better. They carry powerful "gifts" with them. Although there is a possibility of further degenerating into demons, such benefits are worth the risk.
Therefore, Borogo Lazarus was selected a year ago and became one of them, starting a one-year internship period. The day after tomorrow will be the end of his internship, which will determine whether he is officially hired.
Or he was sent back to prison to continue serving his sentence.
"One year has passed so quickly."
Burlogo muttered.
"Yes, we have actually been working together for a year." Jeffrey was also surprised.
"Boluogo, I actually want to ask something. Is it convenient?"
"you say."
Jeffrey thought for a moment and asked.
"If you were hired, became one of us, and regained your freedom, what would you do?"
Boluogo said directly without hesitation.
"Finish this case, kill all these damn demons, and retrieve Adele's soul."
The expected answer, Jeffrey asked again.
"What if you don't get hired and are thrown back into prison?"
The atmosphere froze for a few seconds, this was the worst possible outcome.
"Then I can only hope that you can help me and beg your 'boss' to let me retrieve Adele's soul before locking me back."
Although he said this, Boluogo still had some other thoughts in his heart.
Maybe he has been in the dark jail for long enough, and he is somewhat used to that kind of life, but getting used to it doesn't mean he can accept it, not to mention that Boluogo still has things to do, and in the dark jail, he can do everything.
Less than.
He cannot be imprisoned.
"It's natural," Jeffrey said. "I know how it feels to have your revenge interrupted. It's so frustrating. The thought of you having to stay in a dark cell for so long...it's going to make you sick."
Jeffrey patted him on the shoulder, expressing his understanding of Boluogo's revenge.
"Of course, the main thing is that Mrs. Adele Doveland's cookies are delicious. If it's just such a wish, I will help you if you don't tell me."
Jeffrey looked at the fire that was gradually being controlled, his eyes were red, and he murmured.
"A good person like her shouldn't die like this."
The two of them remembered Adele. After a while, Jeffrey asked curiously.
"So, if you are hired, kill all those demons, and recover Adele's soul, is there anything else you want to do?"
What do you want to do?
Boluogo looked at the sky. He was stunned for a moment and thought for a long time. His hand moved involuntarily to the position of his heart, feeling the faint vibration coming from underneath.
