Endless Debt

Chapter 1264 - 76: Diary_3

Dim light knew Bologue was nearby.An invisible wave spread in all directions, like an echo, colliding and rippling when touching other Ether reactions, feeding back to the dim light.

Bologue vaguely sensed the approach of the Ethereal Fluctuation; due to the close distance, he anxiously unfolded Ethereal Concealment, allowing these ripples to sweep over his body unhindered, then quickly turned his head and nervously looked at Furya.

It was over.

Bologue didn’t think Furya, a First Stage Condenser, could master the Extreme Technique of Ethereal Concealment, just as he was about to cleave open the Curved Pathway Rift once more to help Furya buy time.

In Bologue’s perception, those layers of ripples surprisingly swept over Furya’s body without fluctuation, and Furya’s tense expression eased, revealing a weary smile to Bologue and giving a thumbs-up.

Bologue paused for a moment and then smiled too. Yes, living in this haunted place for so long, even if one couldn’t master Ethereal Concealment, they could still figure it out.

"They won’t leave anytime soon," Bologue said to Furya. "Let’s find another way out."

In the eyes of the security personnel, he should be the most notorious top wanted criminal in recent years.

"Mm."

Furya nodded vigorously; having experienced many thrilling incidents, she began to accept the ferocious Evil Spirit in front of her.

Since the security personnel could breach the secret laboratory, opening the path to the main laboratory probably wouldn’t take much time, and Bologue had to hurry up and gather all the information he could.

Looking at this main laboratory, different from the cleanliness of other areas, it seemed to have gone through a battle, with chaos all around, tables and whiteboards overturned, fragments of containers scattered everywhere, and striking marks on the ground that looked like corrosive liquid evaporating, a dangerous atmosphere quietly spreading.

Furya sat on one side, covering the wound on her arm, beneath her outward calm, Bologue could smell the fear and panic emanating from her.

Over the years, she had survived like a rat, sneaking in the shadows, and several confrontations with security personnel were close to breaking her sanity.

Bologue really didn’t have time to care for Furya’s mental health this time, the Rhombus Shield Protection by his side, he quickly began searching here.

Also in the secret laboratory, the surrounding areas were very clean, only here seemed like a conflict had erupted, a complete mess, Bologue couldn’t help but wonder what had been discovered here back then.

In the center of the room, intricately arranged were tower-like mechanical devices, each emitting a strong metallic smell, their internal structures and pipelines exposed, the black metallic surfaces glimmering with faint blue light.

The cables and connecting lines around the mechanical devices intertwined, forming a complex network structure, electric light flickering through these cables, even after all these years, this place was still under power.

The closer he got to the core, the more he could smell a suffocating scent, emitted by various reagents and chemicals, not dissipated over all these years.

Aside from this, Bologue also discovered an intriguing corner.

Someone must have lived here for a long time, slept in a corner not far from the tower, with a layer of waterproof film over the ground, then a sleeping bag, surrounded by various life necessities and many empty cans.

On the wall were markings recording dates, along with some mutterings, some complaints, some wishes, some to encourage oneself.

A massive amount of information flooded Bologue’s mind, constructing events that had occurred here.

All the living tools were single; he had lived here alone, judging by the dates marked on the wall, he spent more than a year here; he could have lasted longer, but unluckily, the chaos of the Ruins District completely sealed this place.

He was imprisoned here, until he ate all the food and starved to death.

"Furya, did you see a body?"

Bologue called out, if he had died, there should have been a body left behind.

"No."

The voice returned, and Bologue continued to search in this corner, soon turning out a diary from the sleeping bag.

Interestingly, keeping a diary under necessity was one of the Order Bureau’s regulations, even if the individual was dead, they could still leave useful information for those who came after.

Opening the diary, the first thing that appeared was an adorable rabbit head sign.

Bologue couldn’t help but sigh, "So it’s you."

Apprentice of Mamo, the scholar who took over Void Realm intelligence research, she didn’t die outside but instead hid here.

Though they had never met or known each other, Bologue surprisingly hoped she was alive.

Opening the diary, a strong resentment hit.

"It’s doomed! How did the apocalypse happen while I was asleep!"

Bologue’s inner emotions vanished.

After a simple reading, just as Bologue thought, when Xilin invaded, research on Void Realm intelligence was going on here.

"Space completely distorted, this place is like a labyrinth, constantly changing, I dare not remain in one place too long, who knows if when I wake up, my body will be stuck in a wall.
