Scarlet Falls

All the Scarlet Contestants can do now is wait.

They still don’t know what kind of trials they will experience and what kind of demon they will worship.

But since he has already been chosen, when the trial begins, he will naturally be given mysterious instructions.

During the period before the trial began, they were placed in a unified place and waited quietly.

Of course, this is also to allow them to get familiar with each other in advance and cooperate better.

Captain Ouyang comforted Wei Wei with the most confident words. After Wei Wei left, his expression immediately became tense. He turned to look at Brother Xiao Lin and said in a deep voice: "Investigate as quickly as possible, and we must find it in advance. The point where ghost ships meet reality.”

"Not only are we doing it, but they are also doing it. Whoever of us can find it the fastest will have the greatest advantage."

"..."

Brother Xiao Lin, Uncle Gun, Sister Lucky, Ye Feifei who was captured to help because of his super memory, Sen Sen who just came after hearing the news, and even Brother Piggy brought the lunch box to everyone, everyone realized When the importance of Captain Ouyang's order came to light, invisible pressure shrouded everyone's minds, and they immediately analyzed the information brought back by Captain Ouyang and the others.

"The ghost ship Noah has appeared very rarely in recent years, but there are certain patterns to follow."

"As long as there's a pattern, it's possible to track it."

"My old friend's notes record that Noah's Ark was originally a term representing hope in the Bible of previous eras, but today's Noah is called a ghost ship because it means that it is more likely to be destroyed by desperate people. It’s attracted by the place and the soul.”

"The race for Ghost Ship Noah was planned by the mentor codenamed 'The Mourner' who came off the ship. There were people in Star City who were influenced by him and helped Ghost Ship Noah set up the first altar. There were also people in the wilderness. Influenced by the mourners, a second altar was set up, but if we really want the Ghost Ship Noah to come without being harassed by other totems, we need a third altar..."

"We think that the mourner, the person who got off the ghost ship, is the third altar."

"He'll choose where he ends up playing."

"It's just that even if we only find the locations of two altars now, it can help us lock in the general area."

"A region of despair..."

"It is very possible that the area that Ghost Ship Noah considers to be the most hopeless may be chosen as its own training ground..."

"But where is despair?"

"Damn it, I've been banned from the local red light district. Does this count as despair?"

"..."

"Perhaps Sensen could ask the Church of Order?"

Brother Xiao Lin suggested: "The power of the Foundation is all within the spiritual barrier, while the power of the Wandering Church is mostly concentrated in the wilderness. Only the Church of Order has power between the two. It even once spread its tentacles all over the wilderness with the City Defender Plan... …”

"If the trial site is in the wilderness, then perhaps the Church of Order can discover it first."

"..."

"It's no use."

Captain Ouyang said solemnly: "I contacted the Church of Order when I was in Star City, and they are not friendly to us."

"Right now, we don't have time to speculate on their thoughts, we can only rely on ourselves."

"..."

"..."

An anxious and urgent investigation has been launched, and countless people are trying their best to find the possible trial ground.

Also at this time, there was a small village in the wilderness.

An ordinary family was having dinner.

There are many such villages in the wilderness. Whether it is the "super city" plan started thirty years ago or the traveling missionary plan of the Seven Knights of the Wandering Church every three years, these villages have never been wiped out. It seems that the people in the village have been living here for generations, guarding the surrounding farmland, raising their children, and living a life that is so peaceful that it is almost boring.

Work on the farm in your spare time, and fight together when the knights attack.

You can also play a cameo when there is no knights.

That's how life goes.

They are unwilling to abandon their property and enter the spiritual barrier to become workers without roots, nor are they willing to abandon their families like those fanatical believers who follow wandering sects. In name, they still accept the jurisdiction of the coalition government, but the coalition government Their management tentacles have already shrunk within their mental barriers, so in essence, they are actually people forgotten by the world.

But we still have to eat dinner.

The meal is very simple. A family of six eats wheat cakes and salted eggs over a pot of porridge.

Their life has almost degraded to what it was a few hundred years ago, living a simple farm life. Fortunately, the tribes are autonomous and don't have too many taxes. Coupled with factors such as fertilizers and superior seeds brought out by some wasteland search fleets, the harvest is not small. I can barely eat enough.

"Give me something to eat..."

Someone spoke outside the door, harshly and without any polite words.

That was a fool begging for food in the village. The fool was originally from the village, but his father was killed when fighting against the invading knights seven or eight years ago. His mother was robbed by a bachelor in the village and died of illness a few years later. The fool had no one. No one asked, and his intelligence seemed to be declining. At some point, he became a unique sight in the village, wandering around the village in a daze every day.

He would sleep in an empty house in the village at night and come out to beg for food when he was hungry.

"Fool, the fool is here..."

The middle child got excited when he heard this, dropped his job, and took the bricks from behind the door.

Dad glared at him: "Sit down and eat."

The child reluctantly sat back at the table under his threatening eyes.

The mother glanced at the father, then got up as usual, took a wheat cake, and walked out with the remaining half bowl of porridge.

"lay down."

Dad saw her approaching the threshold and suddenly said something harsh.

The woman abducted from out of town was a little confused and muttered: "Idiot, you haven't been here for three or four days?"

"There are so many people in the village, are you the only one who is kind?"

"..."

Dad glared at her coldly: "With this little surplus, it's better to save it and exchange it for better bullets."

The woman put it down politely, but the fool stood at the door and kept repeating: "Give me something to eat..."

I was always upset, so I kicked the big black dog under the table.

The big lazy black dog swooped out and barked at the fool.

The children were extremely envious.

The children ate this meal very quickly. After finishing the porridge one by one, they put down their bowls and ran outside, chasing along the road at the door. Sure enough, they met the fool in the middle of the village. There were already a group of children. The child hit him with a stone from a distance.

These few also joined in happily, picking up pebbles from a distance and throwing them at them.

They seemed to find it exciting and fun to see the fool in pain, trying to catch up but unable to catch up.

Tired from being teased by the children, the fool ignored them and squatted under the big tree. He turned his back and used his thick back to catch the pebbles thrown at him. He found a black thing from somewhere. , stuffing it into his mouth on his own.

The children became even more excited when they saw this.

"Look at that fool, he's actually eating a dead rat..."

"Hit him, hit him..."

"..."

The pebbles were falling more densely.

"Don't bully fools."

There was an old man sunbathing in the village and waved his crutch vigorously.

But after scolding a few times and seeing no one paying attention, he continued to rest with his eyes closed.

The children smashed for a while and saw that the fool was just eating the dead mouse, so they became bored and got together to play jumping blocks. They knew that when the fool saw them playing, they would not be able to help but come over. They would not Let the fool join in, but still be able to tease him.

But this time we didn't play for long. There was a clatter and the sound of chains dragging on the ground.

The children were attracted and rushed over to take a look. They saw a man with countless chains on his body walking quietly into the village. He looked very poor, his clothes were in tatters, and there was some pus slipping from his body. , and for some unknown reason, many iron chains grew out of his body. As he moved step by step, these rusty iron chains dragged across the ground, making a crisp sound.

The novel scene attracted the children. They took the stones in their hands and boldly smashed one over.

The man dragging the chain suddenly stopped and did not look up. He was silent for a while and slowly sat down.

The children became more daring and threw pebbles at them one after another.

The person dragging the chain still ignored him, but the surrounding chains began to move slowly, leaving strange traces on the ground.

When the children saw the moving chains, they immediately felt fresh and slowly put down the pebbles.

The old man, who was basking in the sun, opened his eyes at some point. Looking at the man dragging the chain, his expression suddenly changed.

He stood up desperately, waved the crutch in his hand, and shouted to the children: "Go away, go away quickly."

"Wow..."

But before he could finish his words, an iron chain suddenly stretched straight and pierced through his body.

Blood splattered, the old man's eyes widened, and he was hung in the air.

The children were so frightened that they couldn't react at all for a moment. The man dragging the chains, already numb, slowly turned his head and looked towards them. The next moment, all the chains suddenly Flying in the air and scattering around.

"Walk……"

In the frightened and numb heads of the children, a simple and honest voice sounded, and the fool rushed over.

There was an iron chain as thick as an iron whip, which hit the fool's back hard, making a loud thud. The fool was whipped by this, but was not directly penetrated, but was also whipped to the ground. Together with the stunned children, he threw himself into the deep pit next to him, and blood poured out of his mouth, spraying these stunned children all over their heads and faces.

But he still gritted his teeth and stood up, grabbed a big stone, and stared at the person dragging the chain.

In his confused mind, he seemed to have no idea why he did this.

But there seemed to be countless voices entering his mind at this moment, giving him an instinct to resist.

…

…

"The village guard."

The man with countless chains on his body opened his eyes, glanced at the fool, and whispered to himself:

"One of the stupidest plans of the Cult of Order..."

"..."

The next moment, he ignored the fool and the children in front of him, or in other words, he didn't need to pay special attention at all.

The chains trailing behind him suddenly extended in all directions like a peacock spreading its wings, covering it with a clatter.

"Go! Go!"

The fool yelled, waving his hands and rushing forward, making intimidating movements.

Just like his father rushing towards the Knights.

Just like how he had previously chased away stray dogs from the roadside for a lone child, he bravely rushed forward.

But this time he only ran a few steps and squatted down.

There was a sharp pain in my stomach, and a cold feeling spread from my lower abdomen to my throat.

You can't just eat dead rats in the village. Unfortunately, only fools don't understand, and only fools can eat them.

As a result, the fool couldn't help but rush forward. He only saw countless iron chains around him, clattering and flying past him.

Suddenly, the whole village became bloody.

These iron chains penetrated each person's body and covered one place after another.

Almost instantly, the entire village resounded with the sounds of countless people screaming in panic. The huge iron chains seemed to have no end, one after another, piercing through people's bodies and spirits, weaving into a sea of... The endless net covers all directions.

People struggling in pain were connected to iron chains.

Heads with frightened expressions were hung upside down like balloons around the world of blood apes.

With dim eyes, they stared blankly at the sky and saw a huge, black ship approaching from another world.

Like a god coming from the most secret world.

Quietly, with an indescribable shock and blood, he looked down at this miserable red world.

…

…

"Uh-huh!"

At the same moment, Wei Wei suddenly raised his head, with faint bloodshot threads squirming in his pupils:

"Appeared."
