Crimson Comes

Since it was Wei Wei who pulled Ye Feifei over, Wei Wei naturally had to send her back.

However, it was obvious that Ye Feifei was not in a high mood, and occasionally cast a glance at Wei Wei, showing some resentment.

Inexplicably, it's a bit like the envious and unwilling look of poor students looking at top students.

It wasn't until she was next to the jeep that she gathered up her courage and suddenly said, "Brother Wei, can you take me to investigate?"

"what?"

Wei Wei was a little surprised and said with a smile, "Aren't you going to patrol the streets?"

"I'm so tired of patrolling the streets..."

Ye Feifei burst into tears and said: "They still think I don't know, I don't have the power to patrol the streets at all, I wander around every day, nothing is wrong, the traffic police on the street are staring at me now when they see me. Look, I wonder if I'm trying to steal the battery..."

Wei Wei was a little speechless, but he just smiled and didn't promise anything...

"Brother Wei, just take me there, okay?"

Ye Feifei begged: "I really don't understand what the captain is thinking, it's obviously time for a shortage of people. The worker hasn't been found yet, and the lost child doesn't know whether to live or die. One minute later is more dangerous. Now it shouldn't be. Concentrating all my strength to save the child back, I also wanted to do my part, but he actually asked me to patrol the streets at this time..."

"With you..."

Wei Wei pondered for a while, then looked at Ye Feifei's mourning but still beautiful face in the rearview mirror.

Wei Wei held the steering wheel in his hand, and tentatively asked a question: "Are you angry with the captain?"

Ye Feifei's face puffed up and said, "No."

Wei Wei laughed and said, "That's right. As subordinates, we need to understand the leadership's intentions."

Ye Feifei blinked: "Huh?"

"The captain's perspective on the problem is actually different from ours."

Wei Wei looked patient and explained with a smile:

"Our captain, as the head of the extraordinary sheriff of Scrap Iron City, when he found someone who was suspected of being infected by a demon, the first thing he had to do was to determine the type and severity of the incident, such as There are people who are suspected of being infected by demons, does that mean that there have been demon believers who spread pollution, or even more terrifying demon force fields than demon believers?"

"Based on this principle, the captain sent someone to the guard hall to see if he could be found, but the more important idea is to immediately advise and instruct the police force to make effective controls to avoid large-scale attacks. event."

"The reason for sending someone to the mine is to carefully explore and prevent a large number of demon believers from appearing in that place..."

"…"

"As for that kid..."

Wei Wei paused, pursed the corner of his mouth lightly, and said, "Of course children are very important."

"I also believe that if the kid was in front of the captain, he would definitely do his best to save him."

"But I have to admit that in the process of handling this suspected supernatural incident, in his responsibilities as the sheriff's captain of the Scrap Iron City, the priority of saving this child is not even as good as characterizing this incident. more important."

"In other words, no single person will have priority over the event itself."

"…"

Ye Feifei was startled by these words, her eyes blinked, she seemed to have countless words to say, but was stuck in her throat.

She understood the logic in Wei Wei's words, but she couldn't accept it for a while.

"It is said that he is an extraordinary sheriff, but in essence, he is just an investigator."

Wei Wei sighed lightly and said, "We are not the police, nor the army, or even the real administrators. Sometimes, it's not whether we want to manage things, but whether we have the power to manage them. In the eyes of people, giving us more power is a kind of indulgent, unrestrained superhuman, more terrifying than the first type of danger."

"Then we..."

Ye Feifei was a little frustrated, and after a while, he said, "We don't care about that kid?"

"Of course not."

Wei Wei turned his head, and there seemed to be an indistinct approval flashing in his eyes, and then smiled:

"What I just told you is just the captain's thoughts, or in other words, their working principles."

"But they are leaders after all, and everyone's position is different."

"They have big things to do, and they have to be alert to more things."

"But both of us were sent to kill time, so why don't we devote our energy to saving people?"

"…"

"Um?"

The twists and turns made Ye Feifei turn his face sharply.

After hearing Wei Wei's analysis just now, her mood has become somewhat depressed.

Obviously some don't agree with such an attitude, but faintly feel that what Wei Wei said may be the truth, and he has to admit it. When he was in a low state, he suddenly heard Wei Weifeng's suggestion to turn around. He was extremely surprised and smiled. Childish face.

But suddenly he reacted: "Huh?"

"I must have been sent out, but Brother Wei, why did you say that?"

"I was envious of you just now. You came later than me, but the first case sent you to do such an important investigation..."

"…"

"We are actually the same."

Wei Wei smiled and said, "The captain should not trust me very much. Of course, it may be a process that newcomers must go through after joining."

"I don't get involved in important work, and only send me around to do routine inquiries, but for similar investigations, the people in the guard hall may be more professional than us, and now let's go and ask them the questions they have asked many times. , what clues can you find?"

"…"

Ye Feifei felt that his thinking had undergone earth-shaking changes.

Only then did she understand that Wei Wei was in the same situation as herself.

It's just that, when I didn't get the task, I just complained in my heart, but people didn't mean to be angry at all.

He has such a good temper...

In addition, you can accurately figure out the leader's thoughts, and have precise ideas...

Is this the pattern?

…

…

"In this case…"

Although Ye Feifei didn't seem to understand everything about Wei Wei's analysis, her words greatly improved her favorability and trust in Wei Wei. She pondered for a while, and when she saw that no one was paying attention to her, she pulled away. The door sat on the co-pilot.

While pulling on the seat belt, he suppressed the little excitement in his heart, and said in a low voice, "Then how do we start?"

"investigation."

Wei Wei started the car and replied with a smile, "Start the investigation from the beginning."

Ye Feifei obviously had difficulty understanding: "We know almost nothing, how do we start from scratch?"

"Actually, we can still analyze some clues."

Wei Wei smiled and said, "As I discussed with the captain just now, there are only two possibilities for this phenomenon."

"Either this person has similar hobbies, or he has been infected with demonic power."

"The former doesn't need to be considered for the time being, or else I'd have already asked."

"And if it's the latter, then the key is whether he is inadvertently contaminated with a force field or something related to the power of the devil, infected, or is he holding some kind of ritual to please the devil, and is preparing to use it to exchange for the gift of the devil. now..."

"…"

Ye Feifei was nervous for a while, and hurriedly said, "Then what kind of him do you think he is?"

"There is a high probability that it will not be a pleasing ceremony."

Wei Wei shook his head with a smile, and said, "The infected person who has been affected by the devil's power has been distorted to some extent in their hearts. This distortion has reached the extreme, which is a complete degeneration, and it is precisely because this distortion comes from The heart comes from the soul, so what they do is more arbitrary, just like people's habits and hobbies, it looks more casual and disorderly."

"But trying to exchange some 'gifts' with demons through demon-pleasure rituals is more rigorous and even harsh."

"It can be said that there are countless rituals to please the devil, but each one has strict standards."

"The person who performs the ritual has to perfectly reproduce every step mentioned in the sacrificial code, and there is only a small chance of success."

"Anything wrong will not succeed, or even lead to disaster."

"And in this person's bedroom, although there are many dead carrion corpses, they are all neatly nailed to the wall, but the production of each 'specimen' is very simple and rough, without embalming or trimming. Hair, even the production method, is just a long nail passing through the chest, and there is no meaning to practice or improve oneself in it, it is more like a perfunctory..."

"The ritual is to make everything as controllable as possible, but his approach has not ruled out variables at all."

"So, I don't think he was there to please the ceremony..."

"…"

Ye Feifei was a little stunned when he heard it: "Then...then why didn't you say it just now?"

"The leader was in formal attire just now... he was showing off his knowledge!"

Wei Wei glanced at Ye Feifei in surprise, and said, "Isn't that intentionally making the captain's face ugly?"

"…"

Ye Feifei was stunned for a moment, as if he understood the reason why he had never been entrusted with important tasks.

After a while, he asked subconsciously, "Then what should we do?"

"That's what I want to ask you."

Wei Wei suddenly looked at her and said, "You have a good memory, and you came earlier than me, so do you know if any of the Scrap Iron City used to serve in the Church of the Twelve Gods, especially in the God of Death system? a priest, a nun, a priest or something like that?"

"It should be someone who quit the church after the Church of the Twelve Gods was banned."

"…"

Ye Feifei thought hard, and his expression was a little hesitant: "It seems, there really is..."
