Scarlet Falls

Chapter 167 Professional Knights (4,000 words)

White Lead City is located about 200 kilometers south of Scrap Iron City. It is also a city on the edge of the spiritual barrier.

A road winding through the wilderness connects the two edge cities, deep and mysterious in the night.

This road can already be regarded as being at the edge of the spiritual barrier. The boundaries between wilderness and city are no longer clearly distinguishable here.

The jeep and Captain Ouyang's sidecar motorcycle were speeding on the road, firing two shots from time to time.

…

Their plan was to rush to White Lead City at lightning speed, directly capture the old Dong from White Lead City, and take him back to Scrap Iron City for interrogation before his accomplices could react. It was a show. In a complete set, the tension and intensity still need to be expressed.

They had only one reason to rush to White Lead City, and that was to hunt down the killer who fled after killing someone.

If you don’t shoot two shots on the road, it will seem unreal...

Of course, Captain Ouyang fired this gun. He originally asked Uncle Gun to fire it, but Uncle Gun was holding the gun tightly and refused.

"Can bullets be wasted casually?"

Uncle Gun reprimanded Captain Ouyang unceremoniously: "Captain, you are so bad at getting along."

"Thankfully, Sister Lucky insisted on keeping the team's finances separate from you, otherwise our Scrap Iron City would have gone bankrupt long ago."

"..."

Captain Ouyang was so angry that his teeth ached, and he could only hit the sky twice from time to time.

He used ordinary bullets, and they were bargains bought from the Devil Trading Ground outside the city for one dollar each.

But even so, it still hurts...

…

"Latest information:"

Also when they rushed out of Scrap Iron City, some secret news was quickly passed on: "Something happened in Scrap Iron City. The special investigator arrived at Ouyang's base in Scrap Iron City around 4:30 this afternoon. , it seemed that they had foreseen the danger and were seeking shelter, but just twenty minutes ago, gunfire and chaos suddenly erupted in the Scrap Iron City base."

"That investigator is dead?"

"Not sure, but the problem must be serious, otherwise Ouyang wouldn't be so angry."

"Now the entire Scrap Iron City is about to be in turmoil. All the mysterious organizations have come out to help them find the suspected killer. Ouyang himself has also left the base and seems to be tracking a killer. Someone saw him three minutes ago. He said he had left the city..."

"..."

"Very good……"

The person who received the news was silent for a long time before letting out a sigh of praise, but still did not let down his guard: "Is the news reliable?"

"reliable!"

The other party said: "It was passed on by an information dealer who knows everything about Scrap Iron City."

"He has been doing this business in Scrap Iron City for many years. His name is Yuan Guaizi."

"But he is no longer crutching and uses a wheelchair."

"..."

Similar news spread throughout the major cities around Scrap Iron City, causing an uproar and tugging at the heartstrings of countless people. Some people were excited that this special investigator had mastered too much dirty information about everyone. Finally, their hearts The thorn was removed.

Some people were even more excited: Haha, Ouyang actually got involved with the people on the first city's defense line. Is he going to be unlucky this time?

Some people found that the situation was serious and couldn't help but worry: "Is this blatantly opposing the foundation?"

"Of course Ouyang is unlucky, but that's a good thing..."

"..."

Of course, there are also some special people who feel a little confused. They were already on tenterhooks and couldn't relax for a moment. Then they suddenly heard the news. Apart from being surprised, they were also nervous: "Are you taking action so soon?"

"Sure enough, the instructor said not to let us act rashly. He will arrange for people from the boat to solve this problem."

"Break into the Iron City base alone and kill the special investigator. The people on the ship are not on the same level as us."

"It's just that the instructor asked us to stay vigilant and cooperate at any time, but he didn't say how to cooperate..."

"..."

Everything is about a quick word.

By the time everyone got the news, other cooperation had already begun.

While it was difficult to guess whether the others were genuine or not, Wei Wei and others had already rushed to the edge of White Lead City like lightning.

As he got closer and closer to White Lead City, Wei Wei couldn't help but feel a little excited.

This operation, on the surface, is to hunt down the killer who escaped from Scrap Iron City, but it is essentially a kidnapping plan.

He rushed directly into the city where he was stationed, kidnapped him without any explanation and took him back to Scrap Iron City.

Thinking about this is exciting...

However, seeing that the plan was going very smoothly, Wei Wei couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart:

Although, the plan itself was proposed by myself.

But why do you feel like the people on the team are so skilled at executing it?

Captain Ouyang looked disgusted while even preparing the handcuffs for kidnapping, and they were still pink!

What did the White Ghost Knights do for a living in the wilderness before?

…

"Huh?"

When thinking about this in his mind, Wei Wei suddenly felt a little surprised.

White Lead City was already in sight, and the dense shadows ahead were almost invisible. Captain Ouyang's sidecar motorcycle was thrown away by him again. Only the headlights illuminated an area that came into view, with holes of darkness and potholed concrete roads on both sides.

There is no road ahead.

All the concrete pavement collapsed here and was replaced by a patch of weeds.

Such road conditions are very common on the edge of spiritual barriers, but this area is a bit weird.

The surrounding weeds were in clumps, one by one, twisting strangely in the blurry night.

Like cobras standing upright on the ground and dancing.

Wherever the headlights shine, everything is normal, but where the headlights don't reach, countless sneaky and weird shadows can be seen.

There are short man-eating trees that slowly twitch their tentacles in the night, and there are fist-sized heads with bright smiles.

The place where the wheels ran over was soft and weak, as if the wheels were stuck to the wheels by invisible glue.

Wei Wei's car slowly stopped, he turned around and glanced at Shu Yaqian, and saw that she also nodded slightly.

"Is there a surprise so soon?"

Wei Wei thought, slowly rolled down the car window and stretched out his palm.

His palms reached into the gloomy night outside, seeming to trigger a carnival.

Thin whispers were making noise and excitement. They were attracted by his palm. A piranha growing next to the body of the jeep slowly swam forward and stared at Wei Wei's palm obsessively, bit by bit. , slowly raised its weird and ugly head.

Suddenly, his mouth opened, half as big as his face, and his sharp and formidable teeth bit Wei Wei's hand fiercely.

Blood gushed out instantly. Wei Wei held the little head in his hand and pulled it out of the car window.

The moment he entered the car window, he could still see the monster biting on his palm. It was an evil and twisted little monster with a blue-grey head and even wrinkled human features. But as it was exposed to his own From the field of vision, I could see it changing rapidly. Its biological characteristics quickly disappeared, turning into an ordinary wild chrysanthemum that can be seen everywhere on the roadside.

It has fine petals, and blood stains can be seen on them.

I was bitten by a wild flower.

And the surroundings are now full of these weeds and flowers, or monsters.

When you see it, he is just an ordinary weed or wild flower. When you can't see it, he becomes a twisted monster.

…

"Demon of life?"

Wei Wei had a guess in his mind.

The Life Demon has the ability to release its own "life" and turn ordinary things into monsters.

However, someone who can turn this entire area into a monster must be strong.

Wei Wei slowly picked up the gun. Outside the car window, there were countless vines and tentacles rising like a wave of shadows.

…

"Bang!"

But at this moment, violent gunshots suddenly sounded.

In this silent night, Uncle Gun's words were extremely clear, shattering the delicate murmurs.

Immediately afterwards, bright lights pierced the thick darkness, and everything strange around them became normal under this light. Then Captain Ouyang's sidecar motorcycle came speeding towards him, and with an exaggeratedly beautiful flick, he stopped at next to the jeep.

Uncle Gun in the sidecar trembled and was almost thrown out.

"Who is causing trouble here?"

Captain Ouyang held an ivory-handled pistol, pointed it into the darkness, and said in a deep voice: "Come out."

"Huh?"

In the darkness, a voice of surprise soon sounded: "Is it Ouyang?"

Soon, in the direction where the muzzle was pointing, three figures of different heights came out. The one at the front was an old man wearing a gray coat. The wrinkles on his face were fine and strong, like stiff cuts. He tried his best to smile:

"I led people on patrol outside the city and saw someone rushing towards White Lead City. I thought it was the Knights in the Wilderness..."

"..."

As he spoke, he stood seven meters away and said with a smile, "Ouyang, why are you here?"

"Old Dong..."

Captain Ouyang's expression also changed slightly, his eyes fell on the gloomy old man's face, his brows furrowed tightly, and he said:

"I didn't know you, the security team of Bailian City, could be so responsible when you go out on patrol in the middle of the night..."

"..."

"Isn't this the special investigator here?"

Captain Dong smiled and said: "Of course the people below us must be more vigilant. What are you doing all of a sudden in White Lead City?"

Captain Ouyang glanced at the jeep. It was dark inside. He couldn't see the inside from the outside. He secretly blamed Wei Wei and the special investigator for the unreliable plan. It was a bit shameful to act like this... At the same time, his face became sad and angry. , depressed, even depressed, even two of the white hairs on the forehead drooped down at the right time, hanging weakly in front of the eyebrows...

"problem occurs……"

Captain Ouyang said angrily: "Old Dong, someone broke into our base and killed the special investigator."

"Now we are chasing the killer all the way here."

"..."

As soon as he said this, Uncle Gun couldn't help but turn his head and glance at Captain Ouyang.

Just do what you say, captain, don't you have any shame?

"Oh, it's too big..."

Old Dong was also surprised and said at the same time: "How can you explain this to the superiors?"

"Catch the killer."

Captain Ouyang said: "Capturing him is the only way to keep our scrap iron city safe..."

"Did you see anyone go by?"

"..."

"Yes, we must catch him, otherwise no one can bear this responsibility..."

Old Dong nodded repeatedly, then showed hesitation and said, "But did you follow the wrong one?"

"I was just around here and didn't see anyone!"

"..."

Captain Ouyang's expression suddenly became darker and he said, "You really didn't see it?"

"Really do not have."

Old Dong smiled and said: "The team member next to me is a knowledge demon system. If he is not aware of it, then he must not be there."

Captain Ouyang sighed deeply and stopped talking.

In the jeep, Wei Wei glanced at Shu Yaqian and said with emotion: "They are actually quite polite..."

…

"hehe……"

Outside the car, Old Dong couldn't help laughing, and said repeatedly: "Oh, Ouyang, I really sympathize with you. During the meeting yesterday, you were still a model for our fourth district. Who I just thought that when I turned around, the special investigator died in your base. The Foundation didn’t believe in wild extraordinary beings like us, and you have such a big thing happen again, tsk tsk..."

The gloating smile almost overflowed, but his voice gradually became lower.

Because he suddenly saw Ouyang Jian looking at him with a look of regret and sympathy.

The team members in the sidecar next to him were also looking at him with this look.

In the jeep next to him, no one could be seen inside, but he could also feel two pairs of eyes looking at him.

Pity, sympathy, and even a little ridicule.

"Thump, thump..."

In the midst of surprise, he suddenly heard a strange heartbeat behind him. A tall motorcycle... It should be said that the motorcycle he had just let go deliberately to help her block the pursuers unexpectedly slowed down at this moment. Driving back slowly...

The people in the car were also looking at him curiously and sympathetically.

"I clearly passed by you just now, why did you say you didn't see me?"

"..."

The voice of the shadow in the car was filled with a touch of curiosity, and an obvious sense of excitement that was about to be suppressed.

Captain Dong suddenly turned around and saw that bright gaze in the gap of the frog mouth helmet.

He and the two team members beside him trembled in their hearts at the same time, and for a while they didn't know what went wrong.

I handled it right...

The mentor said that no one needs to act rashly, but to be vigilant. There will be people coming off the ship to solve these troubles. However, because the situation is uncontrollable, especially the strength of this special investigator and the White Ghost Knights cannot be underestimated. , so those who have bought a boat ticket must be prepared to cooperate with the person who gets off the boat at any time and help him clean up the exposed traces.

Then now...

…

"Wow!"

In the jeep, Wei Wei pulled the gun bolt and said with a smile: "How to deal with it?"

Shu Yaqian also looked at the old man quietly outside the car window and said, "Take him back for trial."

"Take them all back?"

Wei Weidao: "He still has two team members. Will there be any trouble if he kills them?"

"Kill what?"

Shu Yaqian gave Wei Wei a strange look and said, "They all committed suicide out of fear of crime. What does it have to do with you?"

Wei Wei's eyes lit up, he looked at Shu Yaqian and said, "I like you."

Shu Yaqian's face was expressionless, but a slight blush seemed to appear on her face, and she said calmly: "Now is not a good time to confess."

"but……"
