Palmer was leaning on the sofa, the dim light of the morning shining on his face, which gave him a somewhat sacred look, as if he were the statue of the Son standing in the church.
"I met the author whom I longed for, spent some time with him, and participated in a real game played by the devil. I also saw the evil nature of this author."
Palmer leaned lazily on the sofa pillow, with a feeling of comfort and confusion.
A week has passed since they escaped. During this week, apart from endless reports and telling their bosses about their experiences in the Happy Park, they have done nothing.
Until yesterday, Lebius finally let everyone go, saying that the decision-making room has collected enough intelligence and everyone can rest.
Rest, a rare rest, is what Palmer expected. After every fatal mission, in order to comply with the sparse Labor Law, the field department will give them a period of leave.
Take a vacation, prepare, and then wait for the next desperate battle.
Palmer looked out the window and saw tall black spiers towering over the city. Palmer once again felt confused about his future.
A burst of aroma came from the kitchen. Boluogo took off his apron, picked up the dinner plate and walked towards the living room.
Placing the dinner plate in front of Palmer, Burlogo took the opportunity to sit down next to Palmer.
Today Borogo made a thick egg cheese sandwich, with steaming bread slices and a light layer of frosting hanging on the surface.
Palmer gradually discovered that Boluogo was a person who loved life very much, and maybe it was his meticulousness at work that brought him into life.
No matter how tired and busy he was, Boluogo would always clean the house on time, and the food he cooked every day would be more or less exquisite, instead of like Palmer, who would either eat fast food out or cook something casually at home.
"By the way, were you selected for the Rookie of the Year Award?"
Palmer said vaguely with food in his mouth.
"Um."
Bologg didn't want to dwell on this topic for too long, mainly because Nathaniel's various actions after that were really unacceptable to Bologg.
He actually listened carefully to Borogo's ideas and made Borogo's award ceremony extremely grand - Nathaniel posted notices announcing the award all over the field department.
Now Bologg is already a celebrity in the field department. Almost everyone knows that Bologg has won this award. Some people are beginning to wonder who Bologg is. Some people are complaining about the endless notices and doubting this.
It's some kind of prank.
Palmer has been lying at home these days simply out of laziness, and Bologg has stayed away because he hopes everyone will forget about this incident and show up at the field office again.
Boluogo thinks that everyone will not forget it, but now that the storm is on the horizon, it is better to forget it.
In this way, Boluogo and Palmer took a rare opportunity to stay at home and spent a few days that could be described as decadent.
After having some free time, the first thing Palmer did was to put the board game "Night Journey" into the cabinet. For a while, Palmer had no interest in playing this game anymore.
Borrowgo sorted through the videos the two had hoarded. Among them, horror films about pythons were also stuffed into the cabinet by Borrowgo.
No matter how hard I use words to describe it, the impression left by Happy Garden is still a bit too crazy. Boluogo is okay. According to Palmer, he had nightmares for several days.
After breakfast, Palmer picked up the dinner plate and went to the kitchen to wash the tableware. In Bologna's words, this family does not raise waste, everyone must be engaged in production.
Boluogo closed the curtains and the living room became dark for a while. He randomly found a newly purchased video tape and played it directly.
"Hey! Wait for me!"
Palmer's shout rang out from the kitchen.
Burlogo picked up the remote control and pressed the pause button, waiting for Palmer to finish cleaning the kitchen.
Palmer asked again, "Are Aimu and the others coming tonight?"
"Yes what's the matter?"
"Nothing, just asking."
There was no sound from Palmer in the kitchen, only the sound of water washing was left.
To celebrate the fact that several people are able to return alive, there will be a party tonight at Bologo's house.
Canary was nowhere to be found, and because of the different camps, Boluogo never thought of inviting her. Gauld was still receiving treatment in a border sanatorium. It was said that his spirit was greatly affected, and he might even have sequelae.
.
The same was true for Hart. He suffered less than Gold, but it still had a considerable impact on him, as if the two of them were in the same hospital room.
After several selections, only Aimu was able to come, and the size of the gathering was reduced again and again, and in the end it became an ordinary dinner party.
Burlogo prepared the ingredients for the dinner in advance. He just had a few days off and needed to replenish supplies at home. He opened the refrigerator and poured himself a glass of orange juice. At this time, Palmer also finished washing the tableware and took a rag.
He wiped his hands and collapsed beside Boluogo.
After taking a sip of orange juice, Boluogo pressed the pause button again and the movie started playing. This time it was not a horror movie or a violent movie, but a warm family movie.
Burlogo and Palmer agreed that they needed something warm to heal themselves.
But in fact, neither of them could watch the movie. It was like a tacit understanding, thinking about the same thing together, until Palmer spoke first.
"Do you think Irwin really fell in love with a devil?"
During the trip to Happy Garden, it was Irwin who really shocked Palmer. During the brief encounter, Irwin's repeated transformations completely shocked Palmer. He had never thought that the author he admired was...
It will look like this.
"I don't know. You heard him say that the author is the perfect liar."
Burlogo shook his head. He was not trying to deal with Palmer, but he really couldn't understand the matter.
Boluogo has lived for a long time and has had countless experiences, but among the many experiences, he only lacks the baptism of love. He can't give any advice on this kind of emotional matter, let alone,
They simply couldn't tell which of Irwin's statements was true.
Did Irwin fall in love with the devil, or did he do it for the so-called eternal life? It is even said that there was a real wish hidden in his heart, but this wish was covered up by layers of lies, and even the devil was deceived.
"Only Irwin knows this kind of thing. You might as well ask him personally."
"Is that so..." Palmer thought of another thing, "It's been so long and there's still no news from Irwin?"
While several people were resting, the field department also launched a search for Irwin. After all, this unlucky guy was related to the bet between two devils.
According to the work efficiency of the Field Service Department, there should be a few strong and powerful Field Service men who would return to the Field Service Department with Irvin looking depressed on the second day after the order was issued.
But since the first day of chatting with Lebius, the matter seemed to have dropped into nothing, without any follow-up news.
Boluogo felt that there should be no accidents with this simple action, but if Irwin was brought back, he felt that Lebius would not hide this from him.
No one informed him, but Bologg understood that after all the previous incidents, his importance in the Bureau of Order was increasing day by day. This made Bologg a little flattered, and it also made him feel the pressure of responsibilities.
"There's no news... who knows what's going on," Bologo said.
"Is that so," Palmer continued, "I actually quite like Irvin. Don't you think this guy is interesting?"
Palmer couldn't stand those boring guys. He felt that if he stayed with such people for a long time, he would become bored, which Palmer didn't want to see.
Palmer said, "I even want to introduce him to everyone in the Immortal Club. They will definitely like this guy. Maybe Sere will give him a bite and grant him true immortality."
Boluogo laughed after hearing this. He wanted to say that Sere was restricted by the oath and he could not give blood to anyone, but thinking of Sere's character, this was not impossible.
A hurried doorbell rang, interrupting the conversation between the two, and the two looked at each other. Normally, they didn't have many guests coming, and no matter who came, they would make a reservation in advance.
Burlogo stood up warily, walked to the door, and peered into the peephole, while Palmer deliberately turned up the volume on the TV and took out a pistol from the drawer.
The bad thing about renting an apartment outside is that you never know when you will encounter trouble, but Palmer usually attributes these troubles to the little surprises in life.
Through the peephole, Boluoge saw the figure outside the door clearly, and then opened the door.
"I thought you would come in the evening."
"I don't have anything to do over there today...have I disturbed you?"
Aimu was wearing casual clothes and stood at the door, his eyes evasive and wandering, looking embarrassed.
Boluogo said, "No, we have nothing to do during the day anyway."
"That's good."
Boluogo then noticed something. There was a large box piled at Aimu's feet. The height of the box was almost to Aimu's waist. It looked heavy. He didn't know what Aimu used.
Way to move it here.
"What's this?"
"It was sent by the logistics department, saying it was a courier delivered to you by someone else."
Burlogo lifted the box, which was heavier than he thought, and carried it back to the living room with great difficulty.
Due to the special nature of the work of field staff, most of the time they use false identities to the outside world. When they need to contact ordinary people, these false identities will also be handled by the field department.
Burlogo remembered that he had not had much dealings with ordinary people. At this time, Palmer came over, holding a letter opener in his hand.
"Can I open it and take a look?"
"It's up to you."
Palmer cut the tape and opened the sealed box to reveal its contents.
There were stacks of books, many book peripherals, and a box of brand new, deluxe editions of "Journey to the End of the Night".
There was no joy or cheer. When the three of them saw these things, their first reaction was a chill, and then they became extremely vigilant.
It needs to be admitted that Asmodeus may not be the most powerful devil, but she is definitely the most impressive devil. Her desire to play with people's hearts is daunting.
Boluogo said doubtfully, "This is..."
"This should be what Irwin promised me."
Palmer explained with mixed emotions, "Before entering the Happy Park, I made a deal with him.
"I promised Irwin that I would try my best to protect him from having his memory deleted, and what he had to do was give me the complete set of "Night Hunters" and other peripherals, along with his autograph."
Palmer opened the page, and there was a signature of "Blue Jay" inside. Moreover, this signature was not written on the signature card, but an autograph written directly on the page.
This is true for all books and peripherals. Palmer even found a movie video tape of "Night Hunters" in it. There was also Irwin's signature on the casing of the video tape.
Aimu's eyes lit up when she saw this videotape. She had wanted to watch this film with Boluogo a long time ago, but because she didn't book tickets in time, she couldn't get a seat.
"Now that I receive these things, I feel really complicated."
Palmer sorted out the books. In any case, this is a good collection. You must know that Irvin rarely appears in front of the public, and each of his autographs is extremely rare. But now, Palmer
Got a complete set.
A silly smile appeared on Palmer's face.
Boluogo asked Aimu, "Have you had breakfast?"
"not yet."
"Want something to eat?"
Boluogo said and put on his apron again, and Aimu did not refuse. She picked up the video tape and sat on the sofa. She wanted to watch this when the film was over.
Palmer was completely immersed in ecstasy, and all his concerns were like jokes. He put away the books and placed them on the bookshelf with great care, followed by various peripheral products.
Like a thief, he carefully collected these things. Even so, Palmer was still a little worried. He planned to stuff these things into the wind cellar the next time he returned to Fengyuan Highlands.
As for "Night Journey", Palmer looked sad. No matter how big-hearted he was, he still couldn't accept it, at least for a short period of time.
After repackaging it, Palmer stuffed it under the sofa, then continued to dig through the box. After emptying the box, Palmer found a letter at the bottom of the box.
It looks like Irvine accidentally dropped it when he was packing his things, but when you turn the back of the envelope, you will see the words "Night Journey".
Palmer hesitated for a moment, and then with a nervous mood, he opened the envelope and spread out the letter. The crooked handwriting showed the author's chaotic and anxious mood when writing this letter.
As he read, Palmer's expression gradually became serious, and even a slight panic appeared in his eyes, until he realized that this matter was beyond his control.
Palmer raised his head and called into the kitchen.
