Scarlet Falls

When Captain Ouyang asked this question, his voice was extremely slow and there was some uncertainty in his tone.

It seems that even he never thought that he would directly ask this question so quickly. Although he knew it would be a matter of time, this kind of inquiry that goes straight to the core of the secret often represents the emergence of variables, and also Represents the birth of danger...

Three years ago, a murder occurred in the small scrap iron city.

A young man from the ruins outside the city walked into Room 302, Building 7, Block 15, carrying a rusty sickle.

No one knows what happened.

Only the neighbor who called the police said on TV that there were shrill screams and devil-like laughter coming from that room.

He heard the tearing sound of the sharp blade cutting into the body and the sound of blood splattering.

I saw the fish in the fish tank in my living room suddenly crashed into the glass wall like crazy, and the fish's brains were knocked out.

Seeing terrified bats gathering and charging like a whirlwind through the streets...

…

…

When the guards and newspaper reporters arrived, they saw the young man sitting in a daze in the blood.

A family of six, four men and two women, were all killed in Room 302.

This incident spread like the wind throughout the scrap iron city, causing extreme panic for a time.

People living in urban areas are even afraid of meeting these people who gather outside the city and make a living by picking up garbage and waste.

Over the years since then, even the contempt and arrogance in daily life have been reduced a lot.

It was precisely because this incident was so big that the case ended very quickly.

Less than a month later, news came that the teenager involved had been identified as the murderer and shot dead.

Many people thought that this incident was over, but after that incident, Captain Ouyang, who came to Scrap Iron City to take over the responsibility of handling supernatural events here, naturally knew some more secrets than ordinary people, or in other words, unreasonable details. :

For example, the family in that news report is not a family, although they are also used to using "family" as a unit.

For example, in addition to the corpses of those people, some other things were also found at the scene.

For example, traces of supernatural rituals can be seen throughout the house.

Even though news later came that the person involved had been executed, he did not feel suspicious.

Before, or rather now, it was not uncommon to scapegoat essentially innocent people in order to quell some panic.

However, even he did not expect that this matter would not end.

Three years later, the boy actually came back. He rented this room and painted it...

...so festive.

…

Facing Captain Ouyang's direct inquiry, Wei Wei looked calm.

There was neither the shame of having his identity revealed nor the sudden sadness caused by someone bringing up old things again.

His expression didn't even seem to change, he just looked at Captain Ouyang calmly, and his tone even seemed a little relaxed:

"I thought you had recognized me a long time ago..."

"..."

Captain Ouyang calmly leaned back.

Although he already knew it, his eyes still couldn't help but be a little wary.

"However, the captain may have misunderstood one thing."

Wei Wei suddenly smiled again and said, "That person is me, but I am not a murderer."

Captain Ouyang raised his eyebrows.

Wei Wei smiled and continued, "Because none of the people I killed were human beings."

…

…

In half of the bright red room, the atmosphere seemed to become slightly heavier.

Wei Wei gives people a very gentle impression. He likes to smile when he speaks, being sincere and serious.

After he admitted his identity, he also stared at Captain Ouyang seriously, as if he wanted to see the captain's reaction.

This exquisite old handsome man seemed to have been infected by Wei Wei's serious mood at this time, and even knew what the last sentence he added meant. His face exuded melancholy. After a long time, he just gently Shaking his head, he sighed.

"Young man, I understand you..."

There was a hint of silence on his face, and he looked at Wei Wei sincerely.

"After the secret war that determined the outlawing of the Church of the Twelve Gods, the world seems to have not changed much. People are still ruling people, and there are still classes and fights, ambitions and greed, and there are also all kinds of vicious incidents, one after another. "

His voice was slightly deepened, seeming a little helpless:

"But, I was one of the people who was infected very early, and you came from a regular training camp, so we all understand."

"The world is no longer the same."

"The emergence of demonic power has led to many more man-eating monsters, disasters, and untreatable diseases..."

“There are also a lot more crazy people.”

"Some of them worship the devil and do things that can destroy the world at all costs, and some are just greedy and want to use the power of the devil as a tool to plunder something from others, but they don't know that the rope has been tied. neck."

"These people really wouldn't regret dying ten thousand times..."

"..."

Captain Ouyang's voice became lower and lower, and then he sighed softly and said:

"It's just that, Xiao Wei, we always have to understand."

"In this world, everyone who wants to live a normal life needs a little luck."

"We don't know when crazy demon believers will appear around us, and they will do whatever it takes to complete their orders."

"I don't know when a group of corrupted monsters wandering in the wilderness will attack our shabby little town."

“We don’t even know if, just when we thought we were satisfied, we heard the devil’s whispers that night, and from then on we became a different person inside, hating the people closest to us so much, and just wanted to leave them alone. They chopped them into pieces…”

"so……"

He reached out and patted the back of Wei Wei's hand and said, "Try to be open-minded about everything!"

"This will all pass..."

"Just like now, facing more and more madness, Xiao Wei, do you know what my biggest wish is?"

"..."

Wei Wei was a little curious and glanced at the serious-looking captain: "Get rid of all the demons and protect the people in this city?"

"No."

Captain Ouyang's face suddenly became slightly excited, and he said in a deep voice, "I just want to live my life peacefully until I retire."

"Put it to pieces in a down-to-earth manner, die in a down-to-earth manner, and bury it in a down-to-earth manner."

"And no one must dig me out..."

"..."

"?"

Wei Wei suddenly didn't know how to respond.

Captain Ouyang's serious expression suddenly fell. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and sighed:

"It's fair to say, Xiao Wei, I don't know why someone from a formal training camp like you would come back."

"But peace is the most precious thing..."

"..."

Facing the captain's seemingly thoughtful advice, Wei Wei smiled gently, nodded and said:

"OK."

"..."

After sending Captain Ouyang away, Wei Wei sat quietly on the sofa for a while and shook his head slightly.

Captain Ouyang is a very down-to-earth person. He is an old fox, but he chooses the most sincere words to communicate with himself.

Seeing that it was getting late, he did not paint the walls, but picked up his coat and went downstairs.

During the day, there were still some stalls and vendors near this small building.

But at night, the downstairs was clean, as if everyone was hiding from ghosts, and no one dared to look at this building.

Wei Wei had to walk a few hundred meters more, almost to the edge of the 15th block, before arriving at the bustling night market. He bought two steamed buns, a large portion of fried rice with egg, two sausages, and a box of fried skewers. , walked back with a large tube of ice cream.

Although Captain Ouyang said, we can have dinner together in the institute.

But now, I have just arrived and it is not suitable yet.

After quietly eating half of the dinner he had packed, Wei Wei drank a glass of water and dragged out a box.

When he returned to Scrap Iron City, he didn't bring much luggage.

There are only three boxes, two large and one small. Among them, the first box contains a change of clothes and money.

Now, this is the second box.

The box is not big, only fifty centimeters long and forty centimeters wide. The material is dark and you can't tell what kind of composite material it is. You can only see a strong and wear-resistant texture. There is a kind of exquisite but extremely complicated password lock on the mouth of the box, which is very mysterious.

Wei Wei pressed his left thumb on the edge of the lock, then entered a long string of passwords, and the box clicked open.

Opening the lid of the box, a complex set of utensils and potions were displayed in front of Wei Wei.

Wei Wei breathed a sigh of relief.

Captain Ouyang's idea is actually right. Who in this world doesn't want to live peacefully?

He guessed that the purpose of his return was not simple, so he gave himself a subtle advice:

Don't stir up trouble.

After all, there are already too many illogical places in this world. No matter how well prepared you are and what you learn in the training camp, you may hit your head on the iron plate and end up on some monster's dinner table. A delicious dish.

However, Wei Wei didn't believe that he could get stability by being careful and hiding.

He only believes that the only thing in this world that can keep him alive is the ability to be crazier than a madman.

The only way to ensure that you won't be dug up by others after your death is to bury all your enemies and lunatics underground first!
