Scarlet Falls

Rouqiu, or Miss Lily, originally winked, but the people around her immediately reacted and prepared to pour tea.

But Wei Wei raised his head and glanced at her, and she was so excited that she stood up with great effort and went to pour the tea herself, and brought it over tremblingly.

Wei Wei picked up the tea, blew it lightly, put it down again, and asked, "Do you know what you did wrong?"

Miss Lily trembled visibly when she faced his inquiry.

The head pendant was where the key chain should be. He looked at the scene in front of him cautiously, feeling that the worry in his heart had reached the extreme.

"I don't know, I don't know anything..."

Miss Lily obviously didn't understand her current situation even more. Looking at Wei Wei sitting on the sofa, she was just trembling and couldn't even speak.

In other words, she was always bad at speaking, but it seemed like a joke that the Demon of Truth, who claimed to have mastered the truth, would have such a fifth-level believer.

Wei Wei is not a person who likes to force others, except forcing them to correct their evil ways.

So when he saw Miss Lily looking so scared that she couldn't speak clearly, he just smiled gently and raised the gun in his hand.

Now it looks more like a scepter.

Then he asked Miss Lily patiently: "To put it simply, if I kill you with one shot now, will you be convinced?"

"No……"

Miss Lily reacted very quickly this time. Not only did she curl up into a literal ball, her tears and runny nose also flowed out at the same time, and she cried in a prolonged tone:

"Not convinced..."

"I haven't lived enough yet..."

"I've only been blessed for a few days..."

"..."

The head pendant heard her answer and felt a little relieved. It knew that Wei Wei liked this answer the most.

This always gives him the quickest excuse to finish work.

In fact, Wei Wei did hold the gun in his hand tightly. It was obviously just a matter of raising his hand to fire a bullet, but this bullet was not successfully fired.

He thought of Miss Lily's desperate look just now, so he became more patient and asked seriously: "You are indeed enjoying happiness, but what about those people?"

As he spoke, he raised his head and glanced at the skinny man who was still standing there blankly, looking directly at Miss Lily, as if glowing with the only passion left in his life, and spoke softly:

"Why do they work so hard and even want to end their own lives?"

"Why do they have to die in the streets?"

"Why are they forced to accept hobbies like beanie shoes and flower-waving hands? Why do they have to stand on the streets at the age of fifteen?"

"..."

There was no anger in Wei Wei's voice at this time, it was just a simple inquiry.

He can see everything happening in this city, and he can also see the logical chain behind all this unreasonableness.

Truth demon.

The perfection of Miss Lily was like a nail driven into the minds of everyone in the city, forming a truth. As a result, everyone liked her, imitated her, worshiped her, learned from her, and went to work for her. Work hard, but occasionally, these people will get tired. Even if they are affected by demonic power, they will occasionally create circumstances where they can escape the oppression of this demonic power.

For example, putting the barrel of a shotgun into your mouth is a very effective way to escape.

The truth is everywhere, but the truth makes me uncomfortable and makes me too tired, so it is better to have a clear relationship with the world directly.

Wei Wei asked this question because he was really thinking about it, whether the purpose was to complete his investigation report or simply out of curiosity.

His question obviously confused Miss Lily.

This meatball-like woman had never even thought about such a deep question. She was just panicked and frightened by Wei Wei's questioning.

Especially today's Wei Wei, in her eyes, is so mysterious and distant. On the contrary, some of the deepest thoughts in his heart are reflected like looking in a mirror.

Her tears couldn't stop flowing: "I don't even understand what you are saying..."

"Sometimes I just can't help but think, why can't I live such a good life..."

"Why should I have to end up with parents like this? One is lame and the other is stupid. They do that thing every night. They can't even support each other and have five or six children. When others go to work in big cities, they They didn’t go, even when others were going to rob the caravan leader. It was clear that the family had no food to eat, so the missionary just said a word, and they drove the pigs that had been fed at home for a whole year into the church..."

"Why can't I have enough food since I was a child? Why can't I wear some pants?"

"Originally, I... I just wanted to go with Erdan from the village. He had dyed yellow hair and wore very beautiful shoes. I liked him, and he also liked me. He agreed to take me to work in a big city. They said there would be a house there, but my parents looked down on him and said he was a second-rate son. As a result, one of his younger brothers starved to death, so they sold me to Aunt Jing, saying that I could have enough to eat there. …”

"..."

Listening to her words, Wei Wei and the head pendant suddenly realized something.

His expression became a little serious, and he whispered: "You agreed?"

"I agreed..."

Miss Lily said: "Sleeping with a man is much faster than working in the fields, and you can also have enough to eat..."

"..."

Wei Wei and the head pendant didn't know what to say.

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

Miss Lily's expression became distressed: "Aunt Jing has so many sisters, but why are some of them so beautiful that they can still receive more than a dozen customers a day when they are over thirty..."

"I'm only fifteen, but no one wants to look at me. They can eat barbecue every day, but I can only eat steamed buns every day. Someone left a chicken leg for me, and Aunt Jing even knocked it off..."

"Why, they just sleep with men, why do they make so much money, but I can't eat roast meat or wear new clothes?"

"Why am I caught up in all this stuff?"

"..."

"this……"

Listening to Miss Lily's heartfelt cry, Wei Wei and the head pendant were obviously a little surprised.

Unexpectedly, this Miss Lily is actually Miss Lily in the literal sense.

Wei Wei couldn't help but frown, and his worry about the head pendant became even more serious. He couldn't help clearing his throat, and bravely spoke: "Ahem, this..."

"The unfairness of life will always exist..."

"..."

"Ah, the heads have spoken..."

Miss Lily was so frightened that she forgot to cry and stared blankly at the majestic dead head on Wei Wei's belt.

"?"

The head pendant suddenly became angry: "Who are you talking about killing the head?"

"I am noble, favored by scarlet, and represent the great grace of God...a resurrected head from a dead person!"

"..."

Miss Lily still just stared with her big eyes, and the fat on her face was trembling: "Dead Head...Dead Head has spoken..."

The head pendant was so angry that it started to smoke: "Why can't we still communicate?"

"alright!"

Wei Wei lowered his head and glanced at the head pendant. It was so frightened that it shut its mouth obediently. Such a serious conversation was ruined by this dead head.

Wei Wei was silent for a moment and looked at Miss Lily again: "So, what you are thinking about is..."

"I..."

Miss Lily lowered her head, remembering her sadness again, and murmured: "I haven't thought about fairness or unfairness, so what's the use? I can't have enough to eat..."

"I just don't quite understand why it can't be my turn to live a good life for a few days..."

"..."

As she spoke, tears kept rolling down her fat face: "I was almost starving to death at that time. Aunt Jing also disliked me. She scolded me every day and didn't even want to give me steamed buns..."

"Later she thought of a way, put me in a cage, brought in a big yellow dog, and asked me to do that with the dog. She said that the current customers loved watching and would give me a lot of tips..."

"..."

When Wei Wei and the head pendant heard this, their hearts jumped suddenly, and they almost simultaneously looked at her unbearably: "You..."

"I agreed..."

Miss Lily said with a sad face: "With tips, you can eat meat."

Wei Wei and the head pendant didn't know what to say, but they already felt a little uncomfortable.

"but……"

The more Miss Lily talked, the sadder she became. She began to cry so hard that it was hard to hear: "But even dogs don't want to, so they just know how to chew bones."

"I couldn't help it, so I ran away, stole Aunt Jing's jewelry and ran away..."

"But as soon as I went out, I was robbed. They also snatched my jewelry, and forced me to do that. In the end, they didn't even leave me a piece of cake..."

"I cried..."

She talked about her sadness in a funny tone: "I cried so much that I was thinking like this. What else should I be afraid of? Being snatched away by a wild wolf would be better than this..."

"Then at this time, a voice told me that it could help me..."

"I don't know who it is. Anyway, it said it could help me, but what I didn't expect was that it really helped me."

"I don't know how it was made. Anyway, Aunt Jing quickly came to me with her people, but instead of beating me, she took me back, gave me barbecue, and bought me a lot of clothes. Wear, later on, not only Aunt Jing, but also everyone else liked me. The biggest official came, and there were so many people who didn’t want to pick me, but they picked me to do that thing, and they even brought me back, saying that I could only be with him from now on. Do that..."

"It turns out that you can make so much money just by doing that with one person..."

As she spoke, her face even showed an expression of excitement with some aftertaste: "But I didn't expect at the time that there were things better than this..."

"More and more people like me. They hang around me every day. They agree to any request I make. They even try to satisfy me without asking. They also like the clothes I like. I like them." They also like the food. They hung my photos all over the building. I like my beanie shoes and flower waving hand. They even let everyone learn it and come over to compete..."

"I..."

In her statement, it seemed that her confidence was slightly lacking at this point.

But she paused for a moment, then plucked up the courage to glance at Wei Wei secretly: "Actually, I don't know why they like me so much."

"But, if others can be liked so much, why can't I...I?"

"..."

"..."

There was a slight silence in the lobby, and in this silence, there was even a hint of a heavy atmosphere.

The head pendant was a little flustered by this suppression. He could only glance at Wei Wei secretly, coughed slightly, and said seriously: "These are all the devil's ravings, and they are all evil forces..."

"There are too many desires in life, but only through hard work and improving yourself can you..."

"..."

It almost racked its brains before uttering these words that it thought were impeccable, hoping to reverse the uneasy atmosphere in the lobby.

Miss Lily just looked at them blankly, unable to refute its words at all.

But unexpectedly, Wei Wei suddenly sighed softly and said, "She can't work hard."

The head pendant was suddenly startled and tried to raise his eyes to look at his face.

But at this moment, Wei Wei acted very calmly and sighed softly: "I don't think there is anything wrong with what she said."

He raised his head and looked at the meatball in front of him. No, it was Miss Lily.

This woman has almost no culture, no taste, and no good qualities in the innate sense. She is dirty, sloppy, has a bad past and the most vulgar ideas. She has made this city a filth. She even killed many people. Even when she obtained all these privileges that did not belong to her, she did so by relying on the most evil and disgusting demonic power.

But at this moment, Wei Wei even felt that she was very clean.

The advent of demonic power is always accompanied by twisted desires.

But Wei Wei saw the most undeniable desire in the ugliest scene he had ever seen.

"This world seems to have always been like this..."

He looked very calm and said softly: "There are always people who can chew big bones every day, and there are people who can't even eat enough steamed buns."

"Some people eat the most exquisite steaks, and some people drink gruel once a day."

"Some people sit and play in the clean school, while others can only stay and rummage through the garbage."

"Some people appear on the billboard in bright clothes, and some people work on the billboard with oil stains on them."

"Some people have it at their fingertips, and some people only dream of it..."

"..."

He spoke slowly, a smile gradually appeared on his face, he looked down at the head pendant and said, "Tell me, why is this?"

The head pendant was already trembling with fear: "I don't want to flatter you now..."

"It's because reality is given to them."

Wei Wei smiled and said: "It's because in reality, some people get these things, which is reasonable and in line with reality and logic."

"These people either have a good family background, or have a very healthy body, or have a very beautiful appearance, or maybe they just have good luck."

"It is precisely because of this that it gives them the privilege to gain more in reality."

"But some people just don't have it."

He even became more relaxed as he spoke, and said with a smile: "Logic in reality cannot give these people, such as Miss Lily, these things, or even less than one percent of them."

"So, demonic power appeared."

"The essence of demonic power is that it allows people to directly transcend some processes, even ignore some realistic logic, and achieve the final result of a surreal logic..."

"Just like Miss Lily, she is not beautiful, not rich, has no taste, no principles, stupid and lazy..."

"...But who says she can't have the desire to be liked?"

"..."

Listening to his words, the head pendant pursed its lips tightly, seeming a little helpless and more afraid.

Miss Lily secretly widened her small green bean-like eyes, blinked twice, and thought to herself: "Even if this is true, I feel a little sad when you say this to me..."

"Don't think about this..."

The head pendant looked at Wei Wei who was thinking deeply and almost cried: "You can obviously kill her with one shot, why do you have to think so much now?"

Wei Wei was silent for a moment and said, "Think more, do you have any questions?"

"Of course there is..."

The head pendant said: "When a madman starts thinking, the world will be in danger..."

It was really bold when it said this, and even tried to divert Wei Wei's attention in a way that would offend Wei Wei.

But what made him despair was that Wei Wei was not angry this time.

But after being silent for a long time, he said softly: "I'm thinking about how to kill her."

"..."

"You're going to kill yourself!"

The head pendant's voice suddenly sounded a little more angry: "Don't think that you can rest assured once you become Scarlet, this is exactly the time when you should be careful!"

"Every Scarlet will die. There are many reasons for their death, but what do you think is the core reason?"

"It's because they are born with a tendency to die!"

"Hurry up and go back to the madman who used to draw a gun whenever you disagree. I miss the way you killed just for your own mood..."

"..."

"What you said makes sense..."

Amid the wails of the head pendant, Wei Wei was silent for a while and then suddenly laughed.

He stood up, picked up the gun, and pointed it at Miss Lily's head.

Miss Lily opened her eyes wide in fear, but in front of Wei Wei's condescending gun, he didn't even have the courage to resist.

Wei Wei narrowed his eyes and hooked his finger on the trigger, as if after thinking for a while, he suddenly pulled the trigger.

"Bang!"

Deafening gunshots suddenly rang out.

The sound was so loud that it carried not only the lobby, but the entire street, and then the entire city.

Everyone heard the gunshot, as if bullets were blasted into their minds.

They only felt severe pain for a moment. Some of the logic in their heads that had already been formed and nailed deeply into the depths of their consciousness was shattered and then reorganized. In the face of this severe pain and powerful impact, they could only see what they saw in front of them. Feeling bloody, he squatted down holding his head. After a long time, he opened his eyes at a loss.

Looking around, they found that everything around them remained the same. The streets, shops, and pedestrians seemed to have not changed at all.

The violent gunshot just now seemed to be just an illusion.

However, no one noticed that something seemed to have disappeared in the city, and no one noticed that the largest poster in the city was melting little by little.

They looked at each other in confusion, feeling like something had been wiped from their brains.

If you think about it carefully, you can still vaguely think of a vague shadow, as if there is a person named Miss Lily. It is a very beautiful, even close to perfect image.

However, everyone has forgotten her original appearance.

…

…

"Get up!"

Wei Wei slowly put away his gun and a gentle voice sounded.

Even the human head pendant only slowly opened its eyes at this moment. Although it persuaded Wei Wei, it couldn't bear to watch the bullet shatter the flesh ball.

It was only when it opened its eyes that it unexpectedly discovered that the flesh ball was intact.

Miss Lily opened her eyes in fear, stretched out her chubby little hands and touched her head.

It's really strange. I clearly felt the bullet entering my mind, but I couldn't feel the bullet hole in my head.

The human head pendant was equally shocked. As a knowledge demon, it could feel something being killed, but it couldn't actually see what was being killed.

This reminds me of a legend in which even demonic forbidden objects are regarded as puzzles:

Mysterious explosion!

…

…

"you……"

It suppressed the trembling in its heart and asked in a low voice: "You shot, she doesn't seem to be dead..."

Wei Wei had already put away his gun and said: "It's not her who deserves to die."

The head pendant asked carefully: "What is that?"

Wei Wei couldn't help but touched his forehead and laughed, saying: "I also want to know what it is."

"But this seems to be the answer we should find on this trip."

"..."

As he said these words, he walked out easily.

The head pendant on his waist no longer knew what to answer. This was the first time Scarlet didn't kill anyone.

But it made the most terrifying sound.
