Scarlet Falls

"If this continues, I will really be unable to bear it..."

Recently, Wei Wei has been less active at work. He spends a lot of time at home, facing the bright red walls, and is not even very diligent about going to the base to eat.

Captain Ouyang and others were very happy, but Brother Piggy was somewhat disappointed.

But in fact, even if he stayed in this house that always gave him a sense of security, Wei Wei was still very irritable.

Ever since Scrap Iron City was attacked half a month ago, I heard those cries for help, as if a valve had been opened, and these voices began to pour into my mind endlessly.

If you cheer up during the day, you can get rid of these sounds, but in the dead of night, these sounds begin to come in a steady stream.

In addition to those seeking revenge and comfort, even the sacrifices began to increase in variety.

Some picked up dead crows and placed them in front of candles to ask for their blessings, while others caught dead mice and nailed them to wooden boards to treat themselves to.

There are even people who cut fresh grass to express how much they want...

...Why do they think the sheep-faced demon can be a vegetarian?

…

I have to admit that the head pendant reminds me of something that is indeed very important.

The birth of a concept does require the guidance of a preacher.

Don’t talk about lofty issues such as conveying your ideas and beliefs to them, just talk about the most practical things.

Although I have established some kind of surreal and logical connection with these people who trust the sheep-faced demon through the sheep-faced demon, at least everyone should agree on whether you want to contact me and how you want to contact me, right?

Don’t call the phone number randomly even if you know it!

I'm not an open mic!

If he continues to let these believers continue to figure out and develop themselves, Wei Wei always feels that his followers will develop in a strange direction.

Now the sacrifices of dead crows and dead rats and fresh grass have appeared.

Who knows what they will sacrifice to themselves later?

If you can, sacrifice your bank card. If you can't, you can just sacrifice a few packs of cigarettes...

…

…

In mirrors, windows, and everywhere that can reflect light, there is always a mocking look following me.

That eye looked at Wei Wei's distressed look and seemed very excited.

But until now, Wei Wei has been unable to have effective contact and communication with this eye.

He is obviously a gentle person who is particularly good at communicating with others, but this eye always looks at him critically, but refuses to have real communication with him.

Occasionally sending out thoughts are just all kinds of messy noises that disturb my thinking.

"Answer them..."

"Or kill them all!"

"You have become no longer pure, and you have reneged on your original promise..."

"You don't know how to respond, and you don't know what the response is, because you have already developed self-doubt..."

"Is it necessary for you to exist like this?"

"..."

After experiencing this kind of state of wandering between reality and fantasy for a long time, Wei Wei was a little unsure about the nature of this eye.

It has appeared since his promotion to the Scarlet Priest.

At first, neither I nor it could find the other. Later, it should have found me first, but it didn't remind myself. It just looked at and observed itself so calmly.

It wasn't until he was promoted to the Scarlet Knight that he discovered its existence, but it seemed to have no other effect besides interfering with his will and thinking from time to time.

What exactly is it?

It appeared naturally as my understanding of scarlet deepened. So, as my understanding of scarlet deepened, what would it become?

Occasionally, Wei Wei would feel a threat from an instinctive level and reject it in his heart.

But it always feels like it's always supposed to be there.

"Xiao Wei, we have a mission, but it's up to you to decide whether to participate or not."

Just when Wei Wei was staying in this home where he no longer felt so safe every day, being harassed by his followers every day, and tortured by the ubiquitous eyes, the phone rang.

Sister Lucky sent a thick piece of information to Wei Wei's downstairs and asked him to go down and get it himself.

When Wei Wei enthusiastically invited Sister Lucky to sit upstairs, Sister Lucky refused with a complicated expression and simply explained a few words to Wei Wei:

"I need to make it clear to you in advance that this task is not within the scope of our responsibilities and is also very dangerous."

"But we will definitely implement it and make full preparations. If you don't want to participate, we can understand, and if you are willing to participate..."

"..."

She paused and said seriously: "You will gain our gratitude."

"The seniors in the team still feel a little alienated from us newcomers..."

Wei Wei promised Sister Lucky that he would seriously consider it. After confirming again and again that Sister Lucky did not want to sit upstairs, Wei Wei returned to the bright red living room alone with the information.

He has been waiting for this task for a long time.

Ever since Captain Ouyang personally executed the traitor of the White Ghost Knights, he knew that such a thing would happen and was looking forward to it in his heart.

But when he opened the file, he couldn't help but be surprised.

Even a little touched: Captain and the others have finally grown up.

In the past, the captain and the others, although they were embarrassed to say it, always secretly blamed themselves for not considering the difficulty of their work, always doing dangerous things, and even secretly wanting to assimilate themselves.

Now I can happily announce that they succeeded.

He was successfully assimilated by himself.

Lord of the Black Abyss...

When he saw this name, Wei Wei couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

The seventh-ranked high-ranking totem in the foundation’s secret files, danger level: SS

In the training camp before, Wei Wei and his classmates often fought against these totems and their believers on secret battlefields, but even then, they rarely faced such high-ranking totems head-on.

Moreover, the support they received at that time was unimaginable by ordinary extraordinary police officers.

But now, Captain Ouyang and the others have to confront such a terrifying monster in their own name?

In particular, their purpose is to challenge the limits of every totem.

Reclaim the sacrifices they have accepted.

This is really...

...It’s exciting!

…

Reading through the information sent by Sister Lucky bit by bit, Wei Wei couldn't help but be a little amazed.

From the time he came to Scrap Iron City, he knew that the strength of this team was not bad. As the contact deepened, he realized that the origin and background of the White Ghost Knights were higher than he imagined.

For example, Piggy, who possesses hellfire, Captain Ouyang, who has the firm support of some mysterious totem, and their terrifying reputation in the wilderness.

But it wasn't until he saw this information that he realized that he had underestimated the White Ghost Knights.

"Captain Ouyang and others must have high-level acquaintances within the foundation."

Wei Wei quickly confirmed this idea.

Because he had been to the secret battlefield before and knew the confidentiality level of this information, it was not easy for him to obtain this information even now that he had left the secret battlefield.

At least make a phone call to the instructor.

But Sister Lucky actually printed out these information casually and gave it directly to herself?

The energy shown behind this is terrifying.

This information cannot be obtained from the Internet. It must be obtained through some unknown high-level transactions.

"No wonder so many captains before me couldn't survive three missions, but Captain Ouyang survived so many times."

Wei Wei sighed deeply in his heart: "It's because he has too many cards and he hasn't finished playing them yet."

"You can't go!"

But just when Wei Wei was sighing that Captain Ouyang and others were amazing, and at the same time rejoicing that he had the opportunity to temporarily escape from the current sea of ​​troubles, the head pendant hanging on the wall suddenly spoke seriously.

Wei Wei immediately glanced at the guy hanging on the wall in confusion.

"I was serious."

The head pendant frowned, with a serious look on his face, and said: "You should not leave Scrap Iron City now."

"As great..."

"...No, as your friend, I must remind you that you are in a contradictory and ambiguous state now."

"You are the Scarlet Knight, the successor of the fifth state of demonic power, and you already have..."

"..."

It seemed to have organized its language before saying: "The new power of a higher level has infinite potential."

"But we must realize that this new force has not yet been spread and firmly believed."

"This makes your own definition complex."

"For other demon knights, they all have a complete and firm will behind them. Just like a knight who fights everywhere, there is always another belief behind him to support him."

"But you don't. The will behind you is in a state that you are not sure of."

"And this will cause your strength to be very unstable."

"Staying in Scrap Iron City, I have no doubt that you now have the qualifications to fight against some weak totems, or even powerful people with high authority in the Foundation."

"But once you get out..."

"You are a fifth-state transcendent, but you don't even have the stability and strength of the fifth-state transcendent in other demonic systems!"

"..."

Wei Wei couldn't help but frown when he heard what it said, and said, "I think I have."

"You have a ghost!"

The head pendant said: "Not to mention anything else, now that you have been promoted to the fifth state, have you clearly felt the new abilities that were born in you?"

"ah……"

Wei Wei was really stunned by this question and was stunned for a moment.

"The reason you don't feel it is because your inner self is too unstable."

The head pendant slowed down his voice and said earnestly: "No one has yet found evidence of whether there is an ultimate demon in this world, but what is certain is that every system of demonic power will have a core, an extraordinary person. Or the believer's ability comes from this core. Now that you have a rank, but the core behind it is still vague, how can we give you new power?"

"You will have a very powerful feeling now, and that is because divinity has awakened within you."

"You are in a state of confusion between humanity and divinity. You will subconsciously despise logic and power, but you have no solution yourself!"

"..."

When Wei Wei heard what it said, he was stunned subconsciously, and after a long time he said: "What should we do?"

"As I said before, you need evangelists, you need people to believe in you, spread your ideas, and strengthen your core."

The head pendant said, even a little excited: "This is the most important part of everything you do, bar none."

"With these, you are qualified to get out of the scrap iron city. Otherwise, you are just a confused knight, unable to fight, and it is even very likely that others will see through all the secrets."

"..."

As it spoke, it suddenly paused, took a deep breath, and looked toward the west with its eyes, which was the direction of the first city's defense line.

"I even suspect that it was because someone wanted to see through your secret that the White Ghost Knights' mission was formed. They were deliberately sending you into a dangerous situation!"

"..."

When Wei Wei listened to the words of the head pendant, he suddenly felt a very complicated feeling in his heart.

The corner of his eyes glanced at the dressing mirror hidden in a dark area not far from the sofa, and he saw scarlet eyes looking at himself in the mirror and smiling.

It seemed to have known this for a long time and was looking at him mockingly.

I don’t know why, but when the head pendant pointed out these essences, Wei Wei didn’t find it strange. It seemed that he had known this would happen for a long time, but he couldn’t take these issues seriously.

The birth of the sheep-faced demon can indeed make you feel a level of change.

This kind of change made it impossible for him to have awe anymore even for existences like totems...

...Of course, it seems that I have never had this kind of awe before.

However, according to what the human head pendant says, then he has such a high-level power as the sheep-faced demon, but he cannot bring help to him, and he is imprisoned in Scrap Iron City instead?

He said this statement, but received a firm answer from the head pendant:

"The throne of God is originally a prison!"

"..."

Wei Wei decided not to argue with the head pendant, but he instinctively hated the idea that the throne was a prison.

It seemed that he was discussing with the head pendant, but he subconsciously looked at the mirror: "It sounds reasonable, but I will still go."

The head pendant almost cried: "It's been made so clear..."

"Because I have a problem that I can't figure out..."

Wei Wei looked at the mirror and smiled: "If the power behind me is confused, then I will also be confused, so confused that I don't even dare to leave the city. When will we become sober?"

As he said that, he picked up the phone, quickly dialed the number, and asked with a smile: "Captain, when do we set off?"

The head pendant looked like he was about to cry: "How could this happen?"

"You are a newly born new god. You have the opportunity to move to a higher level. Even I have the opportunity to become the greatest totem beside the true god..."

"Obviously you only need to be careful and you have a great chance of winning, but you have to take such a big risk?"

"..."

"..."

"Xiao Wei has agreed."

In the scrap iron city base office, Captain Ouyang put down the phone and gently rubbed his temples.

Ye Feifei also agreed.

And both of them are very positive. The first thing they asked themselves was: "When will we set off?"

Originally, because I was going to do such a dangerous thing, I was always hesitant about whether to take these two newcomers with me.

I don’t want to drag them into a dangerous situation, but I don’t want to still exclude them after they become regulars.

But when the two of them happily agreed to themselves, they couldn't help but beat the drum again...

If we set out, it seems like we can leave now.

Captain Ouyang admitted that it seemed that this time the mission was a little too smooth.

I originally planned to spend at least two or three months preparing for all this, collecting enough information and clues, and then carrying out this task with a tragic attitude.

But why, it seems like everything he needs is piled in front of him at once?

The special investigator had already told himself that the black injection promised to him was already on the way and would be delivered to him soon.

The supplies that Uncle Gun prepared just happened to catch up with the discounts on the black market, and they were prepared without spending much money.

The most bizarre thing is Lucky. He asked her to find those key clues just to take advantage of her luck, but unexpectedly, she seemed to be a bit too lucky.

"She is also going to be promoted to the fourth state of Lucky Demon?"

Captain Ouyang smoked his cigar dully, and the shadow in his heart grew.

He is not a lucky demon. He has the same understanding of luck as ordinary people, that is, luck needs to be repaid...

The luckier this will be, the more dangerous it may be secretly!

only……

Captain Ouyang raised his hand and rubbed his temples: So what can we do?

That clumsy, immature little face that always had a timid smile seemed to flash before my eyes once again. There was a rare determination deep in the tired expression.

His team members are waiting for him, how can he waste time with these useless thoughts?

What's more, my current progress with Noah is still very smooth...

"Captain, do we really want to bring Xiao Wei and Feifei with us?"

Uncle Gun passed by with a box of bullets in his arms. He felt a little worried and asked casually.

Captain Ouyang nodded casually: "Bring it on."

Uncle Gun was a little worried: "But if all of us are dispatched, wouldn't the Scrap Iron City have no protection at all?"

Captain Ouyang suddenly looked at him with dissatisfaction: "You are so old, but you are still so superficial in your thinking."

"Do you think it is more dangerous to leave them in Scrap Iron City, or to take them two away from Scrap Iron City?"

"..."

Uncle Gun suddenly choked up. After thinking about it carefully, he actually felt that it made sense.

But he couldn't help but feel panic rising in his heart: "But in this case, we are the ones in danger..."

…

…

It was also when the Scrap Iron City team was getting ready and was about to set off under the gaze of many mysterious eyes, in a certain black city.

This city also has wide streets, white walls, dense pedestrians, colorful neon lights, and brightly painted young girls, but it gives people a black impression.

In a tall office building in the center of the city, it was already late, but there were still many people busy under the dazzling incandescent lights.

For some reason, even this dazzling light that makes people unable to look directly has a black feeling.

"Da da da"

Outside the tall revolving door, at some point, a goat, a black goat, walked over.

It has ferocious and twisted horns, black hair, and eyes that are brown, but as deep as hell.

It elegantly and leisurely passed through the revolving door and walked into the lobby of this office building, immediately attracting the attention of countless people coming and going.

Why did a goat come in?

Which slaughterhouse forgot to close its doors?

Just when someone was about to call security to drive the goat out, the black goat quietly raised its head and glanced around.

Everyone in the hall was reflected in its eyes, and everything became quiet.

Whether they were about to open their mouths to yell, or about to run over and drive the goat away, or about people who had a surprised expression on their faces and were about to get out of the way, they all suddenly stopped in place.

They were motionless, but looking at their eyes, they seemed to be awake, but unable to move.

The black goat slowly walked forward, stretched out its mouth to grab the skirt of a female staff member, and then began to nibble on it bit by bit.

The female staff member's eyes were obviously frightened, but she couldn't escape and couldn't even move a finger.

Seeing that the black goat was about to eat up her skirt, the man next to her who was looking at her suddenly showed an expectant look.

The black goat eats slowly but never stops.

It not only ripped off the female staff member's skirt and ate it, but also continued to eat inside, from her socks, to her shoes, to her calves, and then to her thighs.

Eat from bottom to top, eating the entire female staff member, just like an ordinary goat chewing tree bark, eating bit by bit.

After finishing eating the female staff member, it walked towards the male staff member whose eyes had become extremely frightened.

It ignored the male staff member's fear. Instead, it seemed to enjoy the fear. It slowly nibbled and chewed, making a slurping sound. The blood slipped down and was rolled up by its tongue and licked into its mouth.

The sound of chewing nerves and blood vessels turns out to be similar to the sound of chewing grass roots.

It finished eating in the lobby, then walked elegantly to the elevator, pressed the button with the horn, took the elevator to the second floor, and started eating from the far left.

The whole building was silent, like weeds that couldn't be moved.

It wasn't until it finished eating three floors that a sound other than gnawing and chewing suddenly appeared in the building. It was a helpless sigh:

"We are not so familiar with each other, so you just walked into my domain so calmly and enjoyed my sacrifice?"

"...You even chirped back!"

"..."

The black goat raised its head, with a hint of ridicule and ridicule in its dark brown eyes: "I brought you such important information, isn't it worth exchanging your sacrifice?"

"It's worth it, so I allow you to eat another floor."

The voice sighed: "When I saw you coming, I knew something had happened. It spread out with you as the center, and then I knew what happened."

"Because I met him once."

The black goat seemed to have a smile on his face: "It was when I was waiting for the death knell of the god to be born. At that time, I felt that he had a certain connection with the death knell of the god."

"But at that time, I didn't know that he was the key."

"It's just because of this glance that I can trace back some information about him and even see his core."

"Whether it's the Church of Order's plan or the other one who appears in Scrap Iron City, it represents something very important. I think you also understand the seriousness of this matter."

"..."

"But I don't understand something..."

The helpless voice said: "Why did he come to me first? I am obviously the most low-key, and I even hid on purpose."

"There will always be the first totem to be involved in this whirlpool. Maybe you are just lucky."

The black goat seemed to be gloating: "If you eat him, you will be able to transcend everyone else and possibly reach that height. Don't you like it?"

"I live in the abyss. The higher the existence, the more dangerous it is for me."

The helpless voice said: "Especially, you should also understand his fear. Who is not afraid of this guy who has been standing on the opposite side of us, growing up and destroying himself again and again?"

"Even ordinary people would be afraid of those guys who would stab themselves at every turn, right?"

"What's more, every time he destroys everything about himself, he will become stronger. We never know whether the new creature we face will be the last one..."

"..."

The black goat whispered softly: "We really have no way of knowing. We can only ensure that he will be the last one."

"Kill it and it will be the last one."

"And now, you and I both know, this is a great opportunity."

"..."

The mysterious will in the building did not seem to be misled by its words, nor did it mind showing its worries:

"It does seem like a chance, but..."

"... Logically speaking, he shouldn't leave the warm nest at this time, but he has to leave at the most vulnerable time and come to my place..."

After a pause, it said seriously: "I wonder if this is a conspiracy against me..."

"It does seem a bit like a conspiracy..."

The black goat's eyes narrowed: "But will you refuse the sacrifice offered to you?"

"of course not."

The will deep in the building answered without hesitation: "Who would refuse the fat meat offered to their mouth?"

Black Goat seemed satisfied with this answer.

"It's just that I'm a little worried about you."

In the building, countless lights began to flicker, as if one eye fell on the black goat: "I want to know, what kind of plans are you making?"

"We plan to seize the scepter."

The black goat's pursed mouth always gives the impression that it is smiling: "The Sect of Order's plan failed, but it also exposed the fact that the scepter is in their hands. The Foundation will definitely take action against the Sect of Order. If we take action, then how can we let the scepter fall into the hands of the Foundation? You also know that when scarlet comes again, whoever holds the scepter may be able to see that direction again..."

The will hidden deep in the building seems to be thinking intensely.

After a long time, he seemed to understand something. There was joyful emotion reverberating in the building, which made all the people in the building, even those who were only half eaten, have happy expressions on their faces.

"I agree with your plan."

"I will stay here quietly and wait for them to come to my door automatically."
