Scarlet Falls

Seeing Wei Wei's half-smiling expression, the rickets suddenly fell into silence, while Ye Feifei on the side looked a little frightened.

Wei Wei sat on the high-backed chair, and everything in the red hall came into his sight, slowly twisting and squirming as if it was alive.

This made him feel slightly dizzy, and he gently rubbed his temples.

He could feel that familiar scenes were popping up in his mind. He felt that this place was more and more familiar. He could even think of the countless times he had done it in this red hall. Sometimes I sit indifferently at the end of the long table and issue orders, sometimes I hold my head here in pain, and sometimes I sit quietly and cry non-stop.

Very strange feeling.

It was as if I had never been to a place or seen this person before, but as soon as I saw him, I felt familiar, and everything had happened before.

This feeling of déjà vu often appears around someone, but Wei Wei's déjà vu occurred more often this time.

There were so many things in his mind that he almost turned into another person.

And when he had these countless familiar feelings, in the spiritual world, in the sea of ​​blood, the giant nailed to the pillar seemed to be trying hard to open his eyes, and the emptiness on his face was disappearing.

It was as if they were no longer just unconscious dead people, but began to have their own sanity.

Then, just as he felt like he was about to sink completely, Wei Wei's arm suddenly felt a sharp pain.

He opened his eyes suddenly and saw Ye Feifei, who was retracting her hand in panic. Just now, she suddenly reached out and pinched herself.

Wei Wei looked at her in surprise: "What's wrong?"

Ye Feifei was debating whether to pinch him again. When he saw her turning her head, he felt relieved and whispered: "I just felt that your mental state was not normal..."

"How can it be?"

Wei Wei denied it, but he had to be normal in his heart. Ye Feifei had indeed saved himself from that strange feeling.

This is similar to a person who is about to fall asleep being pinched awake all of a sudden.

It's just that Ye Feifei's attack was very ruthless. He probably pinched himself now...

He took a deep breath and looked at the rickety man again, his eyes becoming a little cold.

In the memory fragments that just appeared in my mind, I felt that his shadow had appeared countless times. No matter what state I was in, he had always stood quietly beside me.

Therefore, from the first moment he met this rickety man, Wei Wei did not think he was strange.

He should be someone who is particularly familiar with himself, or in other words, with himself in the illusion, and even someone who is particularly loyal.

However, this person's loyalty is not equal.

Therefore, when he just told him where he should sit, Wei Wei felt an unpleasant, even angry feeling at an instinctive level.

This anger and dissatisfaction should not come from yourself.

But it comes from the shadow of the past. The shadow of the past believes that no matter how loyal this rickety man is, he cannot have any disobedience or overreaching thoughts.

After slowly adjusting his mood, Wei Wei looked at him again and asked softly: "Where is Sensen?"

"..."

At this time, the rickets were looking at Ye Feifei in shock, seeming a little horrified that she actually dared to deal such a cruel blow to Scarlet in such an unstable situation. Are you really not afraid of death?

At the same time, facing the question Wei Wei asked for the third time, he also fell silent.

He wasn't sure what Wei Wei was thinking at this time, but something on an instinctual level made him really scared.

"That girl broke a taboo."

After a moment of silence, he answered softly: "She broke into the palace and tried to enter the bloody abyss to erase some of the things she should have been loyal to in return."

"Of course, this seems to me more like an act of self-sacrifice."

"Now that she has fallen into the abyss, she will soon be melted by the boundless blood. Perhaps, she has already melted."

"..."

"Sensen broke into the palace?"

Wei Wei frowned and subconsciously asked, "Why did she do that?"

"I have no idea."

The rickety man said quietly: "I am just a person who guards the abyss, and my responsibility is to guard here."

There was a firmness in his voice, and even the eyes that seemed to dare not look directly at Wei Wei gave people a feeling of disloyalty.

In Wei Wei's mind, strange voices began to echo vaguely again, and some pictures that didn't seem to belong to him kept appearing in his mind, making him a little unclear whether he remembered these pictures or whether he was thinking of them. In such a strange place, these pictures kept getting into my mind due to external forces, and melted into a part of my memory.

He had felt this way before, but it seemed particularly strong here.

Normally, he should have never been exposed to this strange palace, this rickety man, or the bloody abyss in his mouth.

But unfortunately, he knew what was going on at a deeper level.

The endless distractions are like endless sleepiness. As soon as you start thinking about it, you can't help but sink.

However, this time Wei Wei was prepared. When Ye Feifei hesitated to come over and pinch him again, he forced himself to wake up.

He shook his head and did not have a deep conversation with the rickets on this issue. Instead, he sighed and said, "I want to take her away."

The rickets remained silent and said, "You can't."

"Um?"

Wei Wei suddenly felt anger boiling in his heart, but his restraint and politeness allowed him to control himself and just looked up at the rickets.

He didn't know why his temper seemed to be getting worse when he got here.

But he was very sure that if he didn't get a satisfactory answer, he would really get angry at the rickety man in front of him.

"You are not the master of this place yet, and you have not obtained the scepter."

When the rickety man asked this question, he seemed to be more courageous, and answered calmly and firmly: "So you can't bring people out of the abyss of the sea of ​​​​blood."

"Those who enter the Bloody Abyss will serve the Scarlet Lord forever. This is the rule."

"..."

Wei Wei's eyes had turned slightly cold, and he suddenly stared at him coldly: "Who made the rules?"

His anger seemed to give the palace a twisted meaning, and everything in the hall was trembling faintly.

But at this moment, the rickets did not feel fear. Instead, he looked up at him calmly and replied softly: "You set the rules."

Just this sentence suddenly made Wei Wei's eyes look empty and confused for a moment.

All the anger accumulated in his heart disappeared at this moment. Also because of such a sentence, strange pictures and thoughts in his mind kept surging. In such a strange place, he found that no matter what doubts he had, All could be answered immediately. Too many invisible voices were ringing in his ears at any time, pouring some answers and understanding into his mind quickly.

For example, what is the Bloody Abyss, and what are the rules that were originally set.

However, at an instinctive level, Wei Wei was somewhat resistant to these answers, as if these answers and understanding were dangerous.

"Get out of here, you're not ready yet, and now is not the time."

The rickets seemed to have turned away from being guests. There was no condescension in his voice, but there was also a tone of lack of respect, and he could even hear a hint of chasing away guests.

At this time, Wei Wei actually fell silent for a while.

Ye Feifei's eyes couldn't help but widen. Although she didn't understand the situation, she could tell that Sensen had indeed come here, and through it, she entered a dangerous and mysterious place.

Danger may happen at any time, shouldn't she be rescued as soon as possible?

When the worry in her heart arose, Wei Wei had already raised his head and said in an equally firm tone: "I said, I want to take her away."

"At least, I want to see her and ask her what's going on."

"..."

Maybe he didn't realize it himself, but when he said the word "at least", he felt a little shrinking in his heart.

But the rickets' attitude became stronger. His eyes even looked at him with a hint of indifference and scrutiny: "You are too confident."

"You haven't gotten the scepter yet, so you are not qualified to enter the bloody abyss, let alone bring the people out of the bloody abyss..."

"..."

Wei Wei clenched his teeth.

The rickety man's outspokenness and toughness completely aroused his anger.

He didn't want to hear such disrespectful words from a rickety man, especially in a place like this.

Not long ago, I had just executed a totem for disrespecting me, and now, I was immediately disrespected even more strongly.

This is intolerable behavior.

He suddenly pulled out a black short gun from behind and pointed it firmly at the rickety man opposite the long table.

He gritted his teeth slightly and said, "Let him go."

The rickety man was stunned. Facing the black muzzle of the gun, he seemed to be afraid. He did not have any intention of strong confrontation. Instead, he nodded slowly:

"I don't have the power to let people go."

"But if it is your order, I can indeed help you open the entrance to the bloody abyss..."

"..."

While saying these words, he turned around seriously. At the other end of the hall, behind the main seat of the long table, there was a black curtain. He walked to the curtain and opened the curtain.

"not good!"

The moment the curtain was pulled open, Wei Wei suddenly felt a strong warning sign in his heart.

At that moment, almost all the hairs on his body stood up, as if he had predicted the coming of some kind of danger, but had no time to stop it.

As the curtain was opened, endless blood suddenly came into view behind the curtain.

Wei Wei felt that he suddenly saw countless pictures in front of his eyes, as if there were tens of millions of movies. The pictures were compressed in a unified manner, and then exploded in an instant, blasting into people's minds. Just now, he couldn't help but want to escape from himself. The memories that emerged from the depths of his brain were instantly strengthened tens of thousands of times, becoming as ferocious and erupting as a volcano, like streams of hot blood, desperately squeezing into the blood vessels.

Wei Wei's pale face was instantly illuminated by the red blood light behind the curtain, and the hand holding the gun froze, as if he had turned into a statue.

And next to the red light, the smile of the hunched man suddenly turned sinister and weird.

…

…

"Inside the bloody abyss is memory."

"The scarlet that has died in the past generations is the memory left behind in life."

At this time, in the west of Scrap Iron City, in the manor left by the Sensen family, Bishop Order seemed to have passed through time and knew that his plan had officially begun. His expression was indescribably heavy and serious.

But this serious expression could not hide the faint expectation in his heart: "Just like the memory of the dead is left in the black abyss, and the memory of the living is in the hands of the demon of knowledge, the scarlet memory is contained by the black abyss. Those who do not fall below will not be controlled by a humble existence like the Lord of the Black Abyss, but these memories will be preserved and left in the depths of the Scarlet Palace to serve as a reference for the new Scarlet."

"This is a very dangerous thing for Scarlet now."

"You can understand each scarlet as a new personality, a person with a past who starts over after erasing all memories."

"These experiences have created a new him, and after the new him appears, even if he knows some of his past identity, he is still the new him and will not change."

"But now, all the memories from the past suddenly appeared and flooded into his mind?"

"Will this new him still exist?"

"..."

The new Knight of Iris didn't really understand the Bishop of Order's plan until this moment, and his face became horrified: "This is not in line with our plan, is it?"

"At the beginning, we just wanted him to know the existence of the Blood Abyss to prove the importance of the scepter, right?"

"But now it is..."

"..."

"Now you are using the bloody abyss to pollute him?"

Bishop Order asked expressionlessly: "I said, he is just a child now and doesn't understand many things."

"And all of us are waiting for an immature child to make that crucial decision. This is a joke in itself!"

"Instead, it is better to let him accept his previous memories, so that he will understand his importance, become mature, and make decisions that are truly in line with his rank."

"..."

"if……"

Knight Iris's voice was trembling: "If he gets rid of this threat, he will hate us deeply."

"Our last chance to beg him for forgiveness is gone..."

"..."

"He can't escape."

Bishop Order said calmly: "The moment he saw the bloody abyss, he couldn't escape."

"If you knew that you had lost a memory, would you control yourself from remembering it?"

"So does he."

"When he instinctively wants to know what happened to him in the past, and this memory happens to be in front of him again, how can he control himself?"

"As for our loyalty to him..."

"..."

He sighed softly and said, "Don't worry, we are still loyal."

"Old Iris's plan will be carried out more perfectly by us. When he sees the girl who volunteered for sacrifice in the bloody abyss, he will know how powerful we are..."

"……loyalty!"

"..."

The new Iris Knight even felt a shiver as if the cold air had invaded his pores.

She could hardly understand that just a dozen days ago, this bishop was sitting on the fire waiting to die.

It was he who maintained his sanity at that time, knowing that at this point, the Church of Order had exposed its ambitions and had been liquidated by the foundation. It was better to take the initiative to hand over the scepter in exchange for the last chance. The bishop clearly agreed, even if he said She wanted to observe it, and she expressed her understanding, but she never expected that the bishop's observation would be so thorough and ruthless.

She was even a little panicked.

Because she had always believed that she was the bishop's confidant and the one who knew the most secrets.

But now, she found that she didn't understand many things.

She knew about the Bloody Abyss, it was recorded in the Church of Order's scriptures.

However, the bishop knew far more than he thought. He actually knew many things that he shouldn't know so well and shouldn't gamble on.

This is unreasonable.

And all the feelings of being concealed made her feel dissatisfied.

The title Knight of Iris originally represents a certain responsibility, and it means making the right decision for the Church of Order at a special moment, even if this decision will conflict with the bishop's philosophy to some extent. Now, it comes to The decision to offer the scepter to Scrap Iron City was made by himself. The bishop had always shown cooperation and recognition before, but now he made too many decisions that were beyond his expectations.

"Go make a cup of tea and come over."

Just when her mind was filled with all kinds of doubtful and shocking thoughts, and she wanted to ask but didn't know where to start, Bishop Order suddenly whispered: "The guests will be arriving soon."

She didn't know what guests would come, and few people knew that they had arrived at Scrap Iron City.

But when Bishop Order said these words, he saw a black car stopped at the door of the manor.

Walking down from above was a man wearing a white priest's uniform who looked holy and elegant.

Next to the man, two women in nun uniforms came down. One was very old, and the other looked a little younger.

The new Iris was stunned. She couldn't understand how in this era, people wearing priest uniforms could still appear, and how they could appear so blatantly in the city inside the spiritual barrier.

Wandering Church.

There is only one kind of person who still wears this old-fashioned clerical robe, and that is the clergy of the wandering church.

And the old man in front of him was wearing the robe of the Bishop of the Wandering Church.

"Already started?"

The old man who got off the black car did not talk too much. After entering the manor, he quietly looked at the bishop of the Church of Order and asked softly.

"It has begun, and it will surely end soon."

The bishop of the Church of Order nodded slightly: "I have said before that this is something that does not even involve risks."

"The bloody abyss is also Scarlet's only weakness."

"Every Scarlet cares too much about self-renewal. Anyway, he is too far away from his previous self, and what he has stripped away has become a threat to himself."

"..."

"Pure things fear impurities, and that's reasonable."

The bishop of the Wandering Church laughed softly and said, "This also proves that the death knell of the gods we got was not a joke."

"It was really a joke before."

The Bishop of Order smiled and said: "The Foundation is very thoughtful. They have long guessed the key to the scarlet update, so they know that the death knell of the god who sealed the scarlet power is not the main body. They used the new scarlet to develop their own The weapons of Scarlet have also been used as a backup plan for Scarlet’s self-growth, and the death knell of the gods has become the bait that leads you to destruction..."

"It's just that they didn't expect us to join forces."

"The God's Death Knell is still useful. At least through it, we can learn about the real scarlet core and craft our plan."

"..."

"Yes, the Foundation is indeed smart."

The bishop of the Wandering Church was not angry because of the slightly arrogant words of the protagonist of the Church of Order. Instead, he nodded in agreement: "They also tried to gain a relationship with Scarlet, but they were never able to truly trust Scarlet. Instead, they were the death knell of the abandoned gods. , are willing to really give up the secret, and this also allows us to combine the two powers of the divine death knell and the scepter to find the most rare opportunity."

"The whole world is waiting for him to make a decision?"

"Ah……"

He sneered, stretched out his hand, shook it with the bishop of the Church of Order, and said softly: "This world is not that patient, so it is better for us to make the decision on his behalf."

"..."

"What exactly are you planning?"

Knight Iris didn't go to pour tea, she had completely fallen into panic.

She couldn't even believe what she was seeing now. Those two hands were actually held together like this.

The Church of Order, derived from the followers of Scarlet, represented the devil camp thirty years ago.

The Wandering Church is the Church of the Twelve Gods that was expelled into the wilderness and has always claimed to represent the gods.

Now, the devil's bishop and the god's bishop are shaking hands together?

She couldn't believe what these two people were secretly plotting, but just the fact that they joined forces made her feel the absurdity of the whole world.

"We just agreed that at such a critical moment that can affect the world structure, instead of waiting for that child to give an unknown answer, it is better to do something."

The Archbishop of the Church of Order patiently explained to the knight he had trained: "Even if it is a feud, for this key decision, we can abandon the past conflicts and choose to cooperate."

"you……"

Iris Knight's voice was hoarse: "You want to kill Scarlet?"

"of course not."

The Bishop of the Church of Order suddenly laughed and said softly: "Scarlet, or God, will still be born and sit on the throne of God on time."

"but……"

His smile was suddenly full of human arrogance and confidence, and even a little contempt: "Have you ever seen a god with a chain around his neck?"

"Believe me, this is what God should be like!"
