Scarlet Falls

"What's Mangmang's current state?"

Arriving at the hotel in Haicheng, the White Ghost Knights immediately gathered in Captain Ouyang's room.

Each of them was particularly concerned about the girl in the fish tank. Even Ye Feifei, who had just been downstairs and thanked the confused dump truck drivers for a long time, was also very concerned.

The girl in the fish tank looks very young, slender, and thin, as if there is no change from the girl Captain Ouyang and the others knew many years ago, except that she looks younger and her body is thinner.

She had no clothes on, just a small ball curled up in the fish tank. She didn't respond at all to the questions asked by Captain Ouyang and others, or to the move of being moved out.

There was only a blank emptiness in his eyes, as if he had lost all perception of everything.

This made Captain Ouyang and others look a little stunned. They had successfully brought back their former team member, but they didn't know who she was now.

"She was sacrificed very early, became a totem sacrifice, and was taken back to the Black Abyss."

Brother Xiao Lin observed carefully for a while and sighed in a low voice: "At that time, she was already a dead person, but she was brought back to reality by us, so she should be in a state between the dead and the living."

"If she stays in the fish tank, she will still exist in the form of the black abyss. If she leaves the fish tank..."

"Maybe she will become a living person, or maybe she will just disappear like a ghost."

"We can't take this risk now..."

"..."

Captain Ouyang nodded solemnly and turned to look at Brother Piggy.

Among the team, only Piggy is the Death Demon System, and he has obtained Hellfire, so he has a keen sense of death.

But Brother Piggy just shook his head worriedly: "I don't understand either. My real rank is only the third state, and I just have the qualification of being the agent of death."

"Strictly speaking, only half an agent of death."

"I can use hellfire to burn down the Black Abyss. That's what I thought when I first entered the Black Abyss..."

"...But I can't understand the things in the black abyss."

"..."

"Then let's bring it back to Scrap Iron City first!"

Captain Ouyang was silent for a long time, and could only make a decision first: "She is a special girl. Back then, the Black Abyss Lord had to take her away. It is also for this reason that if we want to solve all the troubles in the end, we must also Rely on her, but, alas, we have been too lazy in the past few years, because we never thought at the beginning that we would have the opportunity to bring her back, and we did not make the preparations we should make..."

"Can we go back?"

Uncle Gun suddenly spoke, looking a little worried: "What we did this time is too big."

"It's impossible that the Foundation didn't notice it. It's even possible that the Foundation was paying attention from the beginning. Will he still agree to let us go back?"

"..."

"The Foundation must be paying attention, otherwise do you really think that with luck, you can search so much information about the Lord of the Black Abyss on the Internet?"

Captain Ouyang laughed loudly and said, "It's just that I think we got a big advantage this time."

"The Foundation has been deliberately promoting our action from the beginning. It even wants to see us and the Black Abyss Lord kill both sides. However, some things have exceeded their expectations."

"We have taken all the benefits, but retained the most complete strength."

"So, the foundation's attitude now should be quite extreme. It will either detain us immediately, or let us go back."

"..."

As he spoke, he looked directly at Sister Lucky and said, "Go and book a ticket!"

"There's no need to separate when you go back. Just book tickets for the high train. No matter what the foundation thinks, let's take Mangmang home first!"

"..."

Sister Lucky agreed and immediately called.

Everyone was somewhat silent. Some things were going too smoothly, which made people feel uneasy.

It sounds a bit bizarre to say, but at this moment, everyone felt that if Sister Lucky said that the vote could not be decided and some accident suddenly occurred, they would feel better.

But the result is very consistent with Sister Lucky's usual style of doing things.

"It's booked."

She looked a little confused and turned her head, looking at the crowd and saying, "There will be a trip at eight o'clock in the evening."

Captain Ouyang was startled for a moment, then immediately looked at the girl in the fish tank: "Lao Qiang, go buy a bigger box and put Mang Mang in it."

"Should we be able to send her to the car via consignment, right?"

"I wonder if her passing through the security check in this state will trigger the alarm..."

"..."

"Need not……"

Just when everyone was having a toothache at Captain Ouyang's countermeasure, Sister Lucky next to them said in confusion:

"I just made a phone call and directly booked the ticket for the special high-speed train. The operator gave me the highest authority. All inspections were exempted. The serial number was: White Ghost."

"?"

Everyone in the small room had somewhat rich expressions.

"Everything is exempt from inspection..."

Naturally, they also know that this is a special treatment for Foundation special operations personnel. However, this time the White Ghost Knights came to Haicheng, they did not come as Foundation investigators. To say the least, even if they came to Haicheng If they come as members of Scrap Iron City's security team, not to mention special treatment, they will even be detained and investigated for leaving their posts without authorization and entering the second city's defense line.

But now...

"Since when did we get the foundation's high-level VIP treatment?"

"..."

"It's finished..."

Captain Ouyang, after being confused for a long time, resigned helplessly: "The Foundation has indeed begun to be wary of us..."

"They made no secret of the fact that they knew we were in Haicheng, and they silently granted special permissions. Are they worried that we will cause trouble in Haicheng?"

"This confirms our guess. The foundation must be in a decision-making chaos now. There are some important things that caught them off guard. They need a certain amount of time to calm down and analyze. In this situation, the most feared thing is The only thing is that before they have made a clear decision, new troubles arise, so they simply give us some convenience and let us go back to Scrap Iron City first..."

"..."

Everyone sighed at the same time: "Alas..."

Whenever the salary is improved and the reputation becomes more famous, everyone feels extremely stressed.

"What should we do?"

"Pack your things and go back first. Not everyone can sit in the special column..."

"At least you have to be at the level of Xingtian Team to be able to board the special high column at any time. We have a little more experience..."

"..."

"What should we do, Xiao Wei?"

Uncle Gun suddenly said with some worry: "He hasn't come back yet. When I called him, there was no signal. I sent a message, but there is no reply until now."

"Don't disturb him yet."

Captain Ouyang shook his head and said, "If my guess is correct, he should have gone back to Black Abyss after we left."

"There's something about him that he doesn't want us to see. If we see it, it's not necessarily a good thing."

"Send him our itinerary and wait for him to come over and meet us. If he doesn't come when the time comes, we will go back to Scrap Iron City first."

"He can't even afford a ticket."

"..."

As everyone listened, they still felt a little uneasy: "If you leave him here alone, won't you worry about anything happening?"

Captain Ouyang looked at everyone speechlessly: "Are you worried that something will happen to him, or that something will happen to Haicheng?"

Everyone felt that what Captain Ouyang said seemed reasonable, but they still felt uneasy, especially Zhuzai and Ye Feifei.

But after Captain Ouyang finished saying this, he couldn't help but sigh and glanced out the window.

Noah's shadow has completely disappeared.

After getting along with each other for a period of time, Captain Ouyang knew that Noah was a very timid guy and was also very good at escaping.

However, he always felt that after the Black Abyss incident, Noah suddenly became well-behaved and fled far away. It was not because of the foundation's attention or the defeat of the Black Abyss monarch.

As the former Scarlet Altar and the messenger of the Scarlet God, did it discover something?

…

…

At this time, Wei Wei was not in a good mood.

It stands to reason that he should be very happy after eating at a small roadside restaurant for 30,000 seats and finding the core of strength.

However, a certain hollow feeling in his heart always affected him.

Walking on the empty streets, he was silent for a long time, and felt uncomfortable with the quietness around him and the prying eyes that were trying hard to hide.

"Let's go find the captain and the others first!"

After walking slowly for a long time, he breathed out softly, looked at the messages on his phone, and prepared to go to the hotel to meet them first.

There are always times when people suddenly realize themselves, but this realization does not necessarily bring sublimation or open-mindedness, but a certain sadness.

Before coming to Heiyuan, Wei Wei once felt troubled by the familiarity of events that occasionally occurred. He didn't know why when he experienced those exaggerated events, he actually felt like he had experienced them before, and even felt a little bored. It wasn't until this time, in the black abyss, facing the world of the dead, and seeing the mountain of garbage that had been buried in the black abyss, that I understood as if someone had forcibly awakened me.

On a strength level, he found himself taking a step further.

Promotion to the sixth state is simply a piece of cake, because all the necessary rituals and sacrifices have been done.

Even deeper logic is at your fingertips.

After all, the garbage mountain has been obtained, and the throne is right in front of him. He only needs to sit on it to gain the terrifying power.

But why, now, do I only feel a sense of loss in my heart?

He wanted to find someone to chat with, but he felt that such a topic should not be discussed with Captain Ouyang and the others.

So after thinking for a while, he looked down at the head pendant hanging on his waist.

It was quiet at this time.

It had just sworn not long ago that it would never pretend to be dead and hide from him again, and now it died completely.

Wei Wei was a little dissatisfied and just stared at it.

So the head pendant closed its eyes, closed, closed, and the corners of its eyes seemed a little moist.

"Great...great Lord..."

When it spoke, its voice was full of fear and panic: "I admit that before, I occasionally didn't pay much attention to my words when talking to you..."

"But...but you have to believe me, I am absolutely loyal to you..."

"..."

"?"

Wei Wei was a little helpless: "Be normal!"

"You shouldn't be so normal..."

The head pendant cursed in his heart, but said seriously: "The Lord is right, I should be more normal. I am willing to dedicate everything to you, just to please the great..."

"If you talk like that again, I'll throw you into the toilet..."

"Then I'll be happy to do that. If you like, I can even show you a whirlpool survival show in the toilet..."

"..."

This moment made Wei Wei speechless. He was silent for a moment before sighing: "Are you scared?"

"Who wouldn't be scared?"

The head pendant seemed to have touched the most sensitive chord in his heart, and he said in a panic: "I thought you were the prince seizing the throne before, but I didn't expect that you actually paid a private visit incognito..."

"...What the hell is this?"

Wei Wei tried to understand its train of thought, but found that it was difficult for him to immerse himself in this artistic conception.

"Before, you...no, it was you, who had been playing with my poor, dead head that was already lifeless?"

"..."

The head pendant asked carefully, his eyes somewhat wandering.

"Why do you say that?"

"Because you should understand everything..."

The head pendant looked sad: "But you often acted like you didn't understand anything before..."

"and……"

It hesitated for a moment, but decided to confess directly: "My character has also made me suffer a lot in my heart. I must admit that I did lie to you a little bit about some trivial things before..."

"But I believe that you, the great one, will definitely not mind..."

"..."

Wei Wei suddenly became wary: "What things?"

The head pendant struggled for a moment, wanting to deny it but not daring to admit it, so he could only admit: "It's a little too much, I don't know which one to say..."

Wei Wei couldn't help but take a breath of cold air: "Ha..."

"But I promise, I won't do it again in the future."

The head pendant is particularly sincere: "I will answer whatever you say. If you are in a bad mood, you can just throw me out and bite them."

"I'll think about it."

Wei Wei nodded and wrote down this sentence, but he hesitated. After a while, he said: "But I don't have the feeling you said."

The head pendant was stunned: "What?"

Wei Wei walked forward slowly, obviously in reality, but the street in front of him was dark and long, with tall plane trees and lonely street lights on both sides, as if there was no end.

He thought for a long time and said, "That feeling of knowing everything."

"I once felt familiar with some questions. When faced with more questions, I also felt that the reference answers were at hand and I could open them at any time."

"But, deep down, I don't want to see it, because I don't think it's what I want."

"I saw the road on the left and the road on the right. I felt that I could take each of them, but I didn't want to take it..."

"..."

Listening to his seemingly troubled words, the head pendant was stunned. After a while, he carefully said: "Are you lost?"

Wei Wei choked: "Do you feel that your understanding of the questions I raised is too superficial?"

The head pendant couldn't help but complain in a low voice: "Do you feel that discussing this with me is a bit over the top?"

"All right……"

Wei Wei was speechless by its rhetorical question, so he could only say calmly: "I lied when I talked to the white bat."

"I was really confused."

"In my feelings, I have never changed, but the eyes in the sky and the shadows on the garbage mountain in the black abyss told me that something was different."

"..."

"this……"

The head pendant actually vaguely guessed his current state, but felt even more nervous: "The legendary scarlet devil is updated from generation to generation."

"It stands to reason that each generation of Scarlet will be more powerful until the final logic is truly found."

"But there seems to be something really wrong with this generation of Scarlet?"

"Every generation of scarlet will overthrow the previous self, but this generation has overthrown it too completely?"

"He can't go back to the old scarlet path..."

"But he can't really return to the path of being a human being..."

"So the key question is..."

"..."

The head pendant almost collapsed because of this question: "Is he not only crazy, but also confused?"

"So……"

"Should I tell this newborn god that he is actually crazy, and I won't be blamed by him?"

"..."

It considered it, but could only be cautious in its heart and pretend to be serious in replying: "What is your rank now?"

Wei Wei thought for a moment and said, "Scarlet Bishop!"

"Maybe this is the problem..."

The head pendant said carefully: "Didn't we say before that we need someone to preach and formulate doctrine?"

"You are already a bishop, but you don't have a single believer around you. Don't you feel a little shabby?"

"..."

Wei Wei was confused: "Normally speaking, should there be doctrine first before there are followers?"

"That's normal, and you're not normal."

The head pendant cursed in his heart, but said seriously on his face: "First do it before talking!"

“I would like to be this missionary.”

"Believe me, it's just to go out and promote your ideas and let more people believe in Scarlet... It's definitely not to escape from you!"

"..."

"It's really time to take this step."

Wei Wei listened and actually agreed very much, saying: "The application submitted before should be approved now."

The head pendant said carefully: "What if they don't approve it for you?"

"Send me some gifts?"

Wei Wei thought for a while and said: "Besides, there are people above me, so there are so many connections!"

The human head pendant suddenly felt like he was overthinking: "A god who is so good at treating himself as a human being, what else is there to be afraid of?"

At this moment, Wei Wei, who seemed to have really figured out all the problems, was in a better mood.

He took out his gun, tapped his head lightly with the butt of the gun, and then put it away. At this time, a gentle and bright smile appeared on his face again:

"Just take it step by step. What's the use of thinking about it?"

"Now that I have mastered the power of the Scarlet Knight level, I can become a real Scarlet Bishop at any time. I am even ready to enter the core of a higher level."

"What else can't I do?"

"..."

When he was thinking this, his steps became much more brisk. He strolled casually and, guided by the head pendant, arrived at the hotel where Captain Ouyang and the others were staying.

Then he quickly became confused: "They left?"

"Why didn't you wait for me?"

"I just went back to Black Abyss to collect a mountain of garbage and took a walk on the street..."

"..."

As a majestic scarlet bishop, he possesses terrifying power. Is there anything in this world that he cannot do?

At least I can’t buy a ticket to go home!

Wei Wei, who was a little panicked, returned to the street, tried to sense it, and found that even Noah's breath was completely undetectable, and it seemed to be far away.

Now even smuggling back is out of the question.

At this time, he was completely trapped in an unsolvable problem and once again became a little confused about the world.

There are two ultimate questions that probably bother everyone. One is who am I, where do I come from, and where should I go?

The other one is what do I eat, where do I live, and how do I get home?

…

…

Just when Wei Wei was completely confused, a few sneaky shadows stared at him in the corner for a long time. Finally, they boldly rushed out and pressed the bright dagger against Wei Wei's chest:

"Brother, can you give me some money to spend?"

"..."

Wei Wei, who had been stunned for a long time, suddenly felt surprised.

It turns out that I really don’t need to be confused, the answer is right in front of me, in this world.
