Scarlet Falls

"call……"

A kind of suppressed throbbing made Captain Ouyang suddenly wake up from the vague and dreamlike feeling.

The super-sensory experience brought about by the shared memory pool just now made even his will somewhat vague and changeable. However, as he left the shared memory pool, he quickly regained consciousness, and what came back immediately was that A mysterious perception of things. The more this perception returns, the stronger the palpitation-like feeling becomes. Subconsciously, he stands upright with a flick of his legs and looks around with horrifying eyes.

"What happened?"

He had just escaped from the shared memory pool and was still panicking about the truth he learned in the memory illusion, but the moment he woke up, his heart palpitations dispelled his inner panic.

He glanced at the Spider Queen who was not far from them, holding a communicator in her hand and typing something with a smile on her lips.

"Nothing."

The Spider Queen replied without raising her head and looked at Captain Ouyang curiously: "Did you get the answer you wanted?"

Captain Ouyang felt slightly relieved, and felt a heavy feeling in his heart. He nodded with a deep expression.

Turning around, he saw that the team members around him had also woken up one by one. Their faces looked like they were just waking up from a big dream, and some even had some tears and a sense of confusion about the future.

It can be seen that they have gained a lot from this experience of sharing memories, but the process should not be pleasant.

After waking up, each of them looked hesitant and hesitated to speak. They looked like they were about to discuss something immediately, but seeing the Spider Queen beside them, they felt it was not the right time. Of course, the Spider Queen was a shared person. The initiator of the memory pool may have had a glimpse of their secrets, but psychologically, they still find it a bit difficult to discuss these issues in front of an outsider.

Captain Ouyang was the first to make a decision, waved his hand gently and said, "Let's go back first."

As he spoke, he glanced at the girl in the fish tank. She was still the same as before, with empty eyes and expressionless face, but Captain Ouyang already knew how painful she was inside.

Not wanting to waste any more time, he took a step directly outside the abandoned campus and called in a deep voice into the air: "Noah!"

After calling, just wait patiently.

Then I saw the night sky was silent, the cold wind was blowing across the plain, the grass was luxuriant, and there was no movement at all.

Captain Ouyang suddenly felt a little embarrassed. How should I put it, after getting to know Noah, many aspects have been facilitated, but embarrassing situations have also appeared from time to time.

For example, when it ignores you.

He could only clear his throat, change his tone, and whisper: "Little Noah?"

Still no response.

At this time, the surrounding team members, including the Spider Queen, had all turned curious eyes towards him.

Captain Ouyang was even more embarrassed. He could only clear his throat and shamelessly covered his mouth with one hand, as if this could prevent these people from hearing his name:

"Little...baby?"

"..."

"Uh-huh!"

The eyes of everyone around him couldn't help but straighten as they looked at him. Even at such a depressing moment, they felt unbelievable.

But Captain Ouyang suddenly couldn't care less about the club's death, and his expression suddenly became a little shocked: "Did something happen?"

He became increasingly uneasy and hurriedly looked towards the Spider Queen.

Noah hadn't been with him long enough, and he could understand if he acted a little bit a little bit from time to time, but when he called it several times in a row and got no response, Captain Ouyang knew that something very serious must have happened. , for a moment he couldn't understand what made Noah hide so far away, unable to hear his call, or even if he heard it, he didn't dare to appear in front of him.

The Spider Queen was also startled for a moment, and seemed to understand the reason. With a slight smile on her lips, she said, "Nothing happened!"

"That's strange..."

Captain Ouyang murmured in his heart. He glanced at Lao Qiang and said, "Call and ask Xiao Wei or Feifei to pick us up."

"good!"

Uncle Gun didn't react so quickly. He immediately nodded in agreement, picked up the phone and made a call.

The call was not connected, and he muttered: "Where has Xiao Wei gone?"

Unconvinced, he pulled out Ye Feifei's phone again, but it still didn't connect at all. Now he couldn't help but feel a little curious, so he pulled up the phone number at the base again, but there was no response either.

"Stop pulling it out, there's no signal at all."

Sister Lucky took out her phone, looked at it, and reminded Uncle Gun who was using 360-degree yoga to find signals in various locations around him.

Others looked at the phone and confirmed this idea. Everyone's mobile phone was empty and there was no signal at all. This is not a question of who to call or what the other party is doing, but a question of this wilderness. , there is no possibility of dialing out. Everyone couldn't help but feel a little strange. It was common for the signal to disappear in the wilderness, but it was also very rare for the signal to disappear so cleanly all of a sudden.

"Only a strong demonic force field can cause a certain area to lose all communication signals in a short period of time..."

Captain Ouyang glanced at the Spider Queen and suddenly felt a little curious: "You seem to have a signal?"

"My signal is enhanced, which is different from your communication equipment."

With a smile on her lips, the Spider Queen put away the communicator and said: "But my communicator can't connect to the people you want to find, so you'd better think of a way to get back!"

The uncertainty in Captain Ouyang's heart has become stronger and stronger: "Is there really nothing wrong?"

"Really not!"

The Spider Queen smiled brightly, raised her hands and waited, saying: "I am engaged in intelligence, how can I know if something happened?"

"No matter what, let's go back first."

Captain Ouyang already didn't believe her words, and felt more and more shadows in his heart.

No matter what the foundation intelligence officer said now, nothing could dispel his concerns. He could only rest assured by going back to Scrap Iron City to take a look at him in person.

"There should be a gathering point nearby. Go and borrow some transportation."

Captain Ouyang immediately ordered Piggy and Uncle Gun to pick up the girl and some other things in the fish tank and quickly walk around.

There is no other way. If you have to take the blame, it must be yourself.

Because of Noah's help, transportation has been greatly facilitated. Not only can you decide where to go at any time, but you can also save time on the road. The most important thing is:

Save fuel.

But because of this, when Noah hid, they had to find their own way back to the city.

Now there is no other way but to do as Captain Ouyang said, and everyone else also noticed at this time that something not quite right seemed to have happened.

"Will Xiaowei cause any trouble again?"

"It shouldn't be, you're only a little older now..."

"..."

Soon, after hiking for more than ten miles, they saw a gathering point in the wilderness. Although gathering points in the wilderness in the middle of the night are often associated with knights and bandit dens, sometimes they are also some evil mysterious organizations. The base camp, but the White Ghost Knights did not take these dangers seriously, so they boldly broke in. Even if the other party had any malicious intent, they could easily solve it.

But when they broke in, they were immediately frightened.

I saw hundreds of residents in this gathering point, all silent, kneeling on the ground one by one, motionless.

"What's going on?"

Captain Ouyang thought for a moment that they had collectively become corrupted, and he was so frightened that he broke into cold sweat.

However, even though Sister Lucky discovered that these people could still communicate, when she asked, the other party just stopped them with a stern look, indicating that they should also worship the unknown god.

"Is there some kind of terrifying spiritual existence that destroyed their will?"

Captain Ouyang was experienced in this and immediately understood why the people in these gathering points behaved like this.

When some mysterious totems wander in the wilderness, or two different totems compete in the spiritual world, believers and civilians in the wilderness will also perceive it on the spiritual level, and the experience of surviving in the wilderness makes them know what to do. How to do it is like this, kneeling on the ground collectively to express surrender and awe. Sometimes it lasts for a long time and does not end until they leave or the winner is determined.

"So, they sensed the arrival of some kind of terrifying existence, so they knelt on the ground to express their surrender?"

"only……"

The more Captain Ouyang thought about it, the more bizarre he became: "How come the direction they are kneeling in looks like a scrap iron city?"

"Stop kneeling, get up."

The panic in Captain Ouyang's heart became more and more intense, and he immediately shouted at them: "We need transportation, please hand it over quickly..."

"...We are not robbing, we are paying for it!"

"..."

Nowadays, this group of tough residents of the gathering point in the wilderness are surprisingly docile.

Captain Ouyang just took out all the money he had, about fifty yuan, and bought a tattered tractor with patches everywhere.

So he put the girl in the fish tank onto the tractor, and was held by Piggy and Uncle Gun. Captain Ouyang drove the tractor himself, stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, and moved forward at a speed of twenty kilometers per hour.

When they arrived at the Scrap Iron City, Captain Ouyang frowned, stood up from the tractor, stared at it for a long time, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, Scrap Iron City is still there!"

"..."

He quickly drove into the city through the gap in the city defense. When he saw the pedestrians on the street, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, not all people are dead yet."

However, whether it is the security officers patrolling the streets nervously, some city residents who look extremely tired and sitting on the roadside to rest, or those who seem to have experienced some kind of panic, squatting at the intersection with a basin to burn paper and The praying old people all confirmed Captain Ouyang's guess: in less than an hour since he left, something had definitely happened in Scrap Iron City.

The tractor howled under his feet and rushed towards the base quickly.

But just as he approached the entrance of the base and quickly jumped down and rushed into the base, his expression suddenly became startled.

Everyone is actually here.

At this glance, not only did he see Wei Wei and Ye Feifei, but he even saw Sensen.

I saw Sensen sitting next to the billiard table, looking a little listless. He was wrapping ice cubes in a towel and applying it to the back of his head. Wei Wei was sitting in front of the small table eating steamed buns that were almost cold. Ye Feifei was docile. And she sat next to Wei Wei distressedly, and from time to time she would use chopsticks to carry food to him. At other times, she would hold her chin and look at Wei Wei with admiration, like a little bird clinging to him.

"This is really a big deal..."

Captain Ouyang knew something was wrong as soon as he saw it.

As a love demon with amazingly keen intuition, he could tell at a glance that the way Ye Feifei looked at Wei Wei seemed wrong and had crossed a certain line.

"Did Xiao Wei take advantage of his ex-girlfriend's help to confess his love to Feifei and the two of them officially hooked up?"

"This is too shameless..."

"..."

Captain Ouyang was not sure whether the worry that could not be eliminated in his heart came from here. He just complained and quickly rushed to Wei Wei:

"Xiao Wei, did something happen?"

"..."

Wei Weigang took a bun to his mouth and looked at Captain Ouyang in surprise: "Are you done?"

"How's the result, Captain?"

"..."

"Fortunately, we just..."

Captain Ouyang had just agreed, but suddenly felt something was wrong: "Answer my question first, has something happened again?"

"How do you say this..."

Wei Wei felt a little guilty after being asked by Captain Ouyang. He clearly felt that he had done nothing wrong, but he still felt guilty, so he could only whisper: "Nothing serious happened..."

"I knew it!"

Captain Ouyang suddenly became angry: "Xiao Wei, Xiao Wei, I've only been away for less than an hour, right? Why can't you save people some peace of mind..."

When the other team members saw this, they couldn't help but feel a little nervous, and they all gathered around: "What happened again?"

Facing so many worried faces with unexpected expressions, Wei Wei felt a little hesitant in his heart and it was difficult to explain. After thinking for a while, he decided to start from the beginning:

"Shortly after you left, we discovered that a patrol team was killed."

"..."

"The whole team?"

Captain Ouyang's expression suddenly became extremely serious: "That's ten people, why is it so serious?"

Uncle Gun and others also had their pupils shrink violently, and said seriously: "Who is it?"

Wei Wei thought for a moment and said: "It's made of a totem, codenamed Scarecrow..."

"totem?"

Captain Ouyang's heart seemed to be squeezed hard, and the hairs on his hair could not help but explode: "Has this thing come to Scrap Iron City? What is it doing here?"

Wei Wei patiently explained: "It seems that it came here on the orders of the Wandering Church."

"Is it still related to the Wandering Church?"

Captain Ouyang never expected that the matter would be serious enough to involve the Wandering Church. His expression was a little distorted and his voice was cold: "What is the Wandering Church doing in Scrap Iron City?"

Wei Wei thought for a moment and said: "They have joined forces with the Church of Order to implement a terrible plan."

"how to say……"

After thinking about it carefully, he said: "If it succeeds, then the entire foundation of the foundation will be overturned, and the spiritual barriers will no longer exist..."

"this……"

Captain Ouyang stuttered: "Such a big thing?"

Next to him, Brother Xiao Lin looked around curiously for a long time, and suddenly said: "It's a little strange here in Scrap Iron City... Why can't I feel the power of the spiritual barrier?"

"Oh yes."

Wei Wei nodded and replied: "When they implemented that plan, they broke the mental barrier and it has not been repaired until now."

"What the hell..."

Captain Ouyang sweated nervously and almost jumped up: "What the hell is this?"

As he said this, he looked around as if he were facing a formidable enemy: "Where are they?"

"Plan completed?"

"..."

"No no……"

Wei Wei quickly smiled and comforted Captain Ouyang: "Don't worry, their plan failed, and they are all dead now."

"die……"

Captain Ouyang felt that his mood today was always half a beat too slow, and he was still unable to achieve smooth unity during the communication with Wei Wei.

For example, at this time, he was shocked and felt unbelievable. He looked at Wei Wei with wide eyes: "Are you telling me that they... are all dead?"

Wei Wei thought for a while and answered with a calm smile: "Yes."

"How……"

Captain Ouyang's voice sounded extremely weak and lacked confidence: "How did you die?"

"Killed by him."

At this time, Sensen next to him suddenly answered and said coldly: "The Archbishop of the Church of Order died in my manor, and his blood flowed all over the floor. He was very uneasy, desperate and frightened when he died."

"The Archbishop of the Wandering Church died in the sky above Scrap Iron City, and was officially executed in front of the entire city!"

"..."

"..."

The surrounding suddenly became quiet.

The members of the Scrap Iron City security team who had just rushed back to the base had their own worries and concerns, but at this moment, they suddenly felt an indescribable and absurd emotion at the same time.

They clearly heard every word, but they couldn't believe it.

If they hear such an exaggerated thing, they will definitely treat it as a joke. It is the kind of joke that is not funny at all because it is so exaggerated.

But at this time, when they looked at the frank expressions of Sen Sen, Ye Feifei, and Wei Wei, they felt that these three innocent and innocent faces were simply scarier than any kind of demon in the world.

They don't know how to answer such words, because they still refuse to believe it in their hearts.

It wasn't until a long time later that Captain Ouyang suddenly wailed: "Such a big thing happened, and you still told me nothing happened?"

"It's true that nothing happened..."

The Spider Queen sat across from Wei Wei and explained lazily: "He has become a god in the eyes of many people. How can this state be considered an accident?"

"Become... a god?"

Captain Ouyang felt that he was shocked enough, but at this time his emotions were interrupted again.

"Yes Captain, it's really not a big deal."

Ye Feifei held it in for a long time and finally found a chance to speak. He smiled and explained to Captain Ouyang: "I followed him from beginning to end. Brother Xiao Wei is really powerful. He took care of those guys easily. Even No one from the Xingtian Team of the Foundation dared to stop Brother Wei... Anyway, the criminals either surrendered themselves to jail or were cleaned up, and the scale doesn't look very big..."

"It's you..."

She looked at Captain Ouyang with concern and said, "How are things going with you?"

"us……"

Captain Ouyang followed her answer blankly, and suddenly his expression became relaxed: "It's okay."

Hearing the difference in his tone, the others looked over worriedly.

Captain Ouyang showed a cheerful expression after being hit: "It's really okay..."

"We only left for an hour when we saw totems attacking our jurisdiction. We learned that the two behemoth bishops behind the attack were the Church of Order and the Wandering Church. We learned that they only died in our jurisdiction. It’s just a hit…”

"Haha, I'm fine, don't look at me like this..."

"I've only been away for an hour, and I learned that a god-like monster has become my team member..."

"What can happen to me?"

"Originally, I was a little worried that our mysterious mentor would not let us go, but now, I am not worried anymore..."

"I don't even pay attention to such a thing anymore. Who is the mysterious mentor?"

"I want to call him right now and ask him to commit suicide quickly so as not to waste my time..."
