Even said, is hiding a true desire in his heart, but this desire was covered by lie a layer upon layer, the devil was also deceived the past. 厄文究竟是爱上了魔鬼,还是为了所谓的永生？甚至说,在他心底藏着一个真正的愿望,只是这份愿望被一层层谎言遮盖,就连魔鬼也被欺骗了过去。 „This matter, only then Irwin knows, you might as well ask him personally.” “这种事只有厄文自己知道,你不如亲自问他。” „This......” Palmer remembered another matter, „passed was so long, that side Irwin didn't have the news?” “这样吗……”帕尔默想起了另一件事,“过去了这么久,厄文那边还是没消息吗？” Several people rest at the same time, the field personnel section also started the search to Irwin, after all this unlucky ghost may relate the gambling of two devils to make. 几人休息的同时,外勤部也对厄文展开了搜索,毕竟这个倒霉鬼可关系着两头魔鬼的赌约。 According to the operating efficiency of field personnel section, the second day of issuance of order, should have several powerful and brave field personnel section fierce man (Han), puts up a Irwin of face dispirited to return to the field personnel section to be right. 按照外勤部的工作效率,在命令下达的第二天,应该就有几个孔武有力的外勤部猛汉,架着一脸萎靡的厄文返回外勤部才对。 But since first day with arranging in order Biousse chatted, this matter like letting it go, does not have any follow-up news. 可自第一天与列比乌斯聊过后,这件事就像不了了之了一样,没有任何后续消息。 Beirrogo thought that this simple action, should not have what accident/surprise to be right, but if Irwin was brought back, he thought that arranges in order Biousse not to conceal these to oneself. 伯洛戈觉得这种简单的行动,应该不会出现什么意外才对,可如果厄文被带回了,他觉得列比乌斯不会对自己隐瞒这些。 No one informs himself, but Beirrogo understands, after the previous all sorts of events, he importance in Bureau of Order is increasing day by day, this made Beirrogo somewhat feel extremely flattered, made him feel the pressure of responsibility. 没有任何人通知自己,但伯洛戈明白,经过先前的种种事件后,他在秩序局中的重要性正在与日俱增,这令伯洛戈有些受宠若惊,也令他倍感职责的压力。 Beirrogo said, „who does not have the news...... to know what's the matter.” 伯洛戈说,“没有消息……谁知道怎么回事呢。” „This,” Palmer then said, „actually I also very like Irwin, you did not think that this fellow is very interesting?” “这样吗,”帕尔默接着说道,“其实我还挺喜欢厄文的,你不觉得这家伙很有趣吗？” Palmer is hard to endure these bored fellows, he thought that was together with that person for a long time, oneself will also become bored, this was Palmer does not want to see. 帕尔默难以忍受那些无聊的家伙,他觉得和那种人相处久了,自己也会变得无聊,这是帕尔默不想看见的。 Palmer said, „I even want him to introduce to non- dead club everyone, they will certainly like this fellow, perhaps Serez to him, will also grant him the true eternal life.” 帕尔默说,“我甚至想把他介绍给不死者俱乐部的各位了,他们一定会喜欢这个家伙,说不定瑟雷还会给他一口,把真正的永生赐予他。” After Beirrogo hear, smiled, he wants saying that Serez was limited by the pledge, he is unable to bestow on the blood for anybody, but thinks that Serez that character, this is not not possible. 伯洛戈听后笑了起来,他本想说,瑟雷受到誓约的限制,他无法为任何人赋血,但又想到瑟雷那个性格,这也并非不可能。 Hurried dings resounded, interrupted two people conversation, two people looked at each other one, usually their may not have many guests to come, moreover who came, will make an appointment ahead of time. 一阵匆忙的门铃声响起,打断了两人的交谈,两人对视了一眼,平常他们这可没有多少客人来,而且无论是谁来,都会提前预约一下。 Beirrogo sets out vigilantly, gets to the entrance, spied on the cat eye, Palmer is adjusting in a big way the volume of television intentionally, put out a pistol from the drawer. 伯洛戈警惕地起身,走到门口,窥探着猫眼,帕尔默则故意调大了电视的音量,从抽屉里拿出一把手枪。 Rents a room this is not good outside, when refers to being uncertain will meet the terrible business, but Palmer will usually sum up the small pleasant

dissociation, an embarrassed appearance. 艾缪穿着一身休闲的便装,站在门口,眼神躲闪游离,一副不好意思的模样。 Beirrogo said, „does not have, we are also all right in any case during the daytime.” 伯洛戈说,“没有,反正我们白天也没什么事。” „That is good.” “那就好。” Beirrogo notices a matter later, is piling a big box before foot, the altitude of this box quickly to waist, seemingly was heavy, does not know that used what means that moved to this it. 伯洛戈随后注意到一件事,在艾缪的脚边堆着一个大大的箱子,这箱子的高度都快到艾缪的腰了,看起来沉甸甸的,也不知道艾缪是用了什么办法,把它搬到了这。 „What is this?” “这是什么?” „Rear services headquarters send, said that is others to your express.” “后勤部发来的,说是别人给你们的快递。” Beirrogo moves the box, this thing compared with must sink, moved back to it that he imagines the living room with effort. 伯洛戈搬起箱子,这东西比他想象的还要沉,费力地将它搬回了客厅里。 The particularity that because the field personnel staff member works, overwhelming majority times, they outward are the false status of use, when needs to contact with the average person, these false status will be been also unified by the field personnel section processes. 因外勤职员工作的特殊性,绝大部分时候,他们对外都是使用的假身份,当需要与普通人联系时,这些假身份也将统一由外勤部处理。 Beirrogo remembers oneself have not had to do with the average person is right, at this time Palmer also collected, in the hand takes the opening mail blade. 伯洛戈记得自己没怎么和普通人打过交道才对,这时帕尔默也凑了过来,手里拿着拆信刀。 „Can I open have a look?” “我能打开看看吗？” „As you like.” “随你了。” Palmer cuts open the adhesive tape, opens box that seals, exposes in which thing. 帕尔默割开胶带,打开封起的箱子,将其中的东西展露出来。 That is the books that notebook pile of repeats get up, peripheries of many books, as well as a box brand-new, «Travel of luxurious

vigilant. 没有欣喜,没有欢呼,三人看到这些东西时,第一反应都是心凉了一下,随即变得极度警惕。 What needs to acknowledge, Lancet Morde possibly is not the most powerful devil, but the impression deepest devil, she plays with the will of the people absolutely the happy desire, making one be awed at the sight. 需要承认的是,阿斯莫德可能不是最强大的魔鬼,但绝对是给人印象最深的魔鬼,她玩弄人心的欢欲,令人望而生畏。 The Beirrogo doubts said, „this is......” 伯洛戈疑惑道,“这是……” „This should be Irwin complies with my matter.” “这应该是厄文答应我的那件事。” Palmer have mixed feelings answered, „ before entering happy paradise, I and he made a transaction. 帕尔默心情复杂地解释道,“在进入欢乐园前,我和他做了笔交易。 „I promise Irwin, I will protect him as far as possible, was not deleted remembers and so on, but he must do, " Curtain of night Hunter » complete works as well as peripheral anything, in the supplementary the genuine
