After the rescue incident, life became calm and peaceful, with no sudden events at all. Even extraordinary crimes were pathetically few, as if the outlaws fled the Great Rift overnight, leaving behind only the Hunter to patrol his territory.
Bologue has been quite idle lately, so much so that he feels uncomfortable. He's been trying to calm himself by doing other things. For instance, he is currently sitting in the small outpost house, flipping through the "Golden Thesis," trying to understand the details of the Triple Law.
Humans, Demons, and Debtors are distinguished by the integrity of their souls. Humans possess intact souls, Demons have lost their entire souls, and Debtors have broken souls.
