Scarlet Falls

"Are they dead or alive?"

When Wei Wei turned around and disappeared into the deep night, the smell of blood that filled the entire manor began to gradually dissipate.

The entire city, or rather, the entire spiritual barrier, gradually began to feel like it was returning to reality. However, those on the first line of defense did not interfere in any way from beginning to end, but they did not relax every minute or second. , the top-level personnel of the foundation who had been observing closely, some of them breathed a sigh of relief, and cautiously, as if they were afraid of disturbing something, asked the people around them in a low voice.

Naturally, he was asking about those consortium members.

The black cloaks on those people had been cut off at the neck level. Originally, their heads had also been cut off, but now they were back on their necks.

But the circle of red stitching marks is particularly dazzling.

But they were still talking normally, even expressing their fears normally, and they immediately reunited in the underground study and started discussing something.

Therefore, something interesting arises. Are they alive or dead?

After all, according to the rules of the Foundation, dead people or supernatural creatures are not allowed to live among the group. At this time, should these people be cleared out or captured for study?

Of course, this is just a joke.

Rules are rules, and most of the time, the rules themselves are a joke.

"First he died, then he lived."

The person next to him who understood clearly smiled softly: "It's just that life or death is just a matter of one thought."

"The lost head was sewn back. So, if he wants to tear off the thread, the dead person will of course die again."

"..."

It may sound bizarre, but when you think about the endless supernatural powers in the world, this little thing Scarlet did doesn't seem to be a great act.

Just basic stuff.

"So, Scarlet is really smart?"

The person next to him sighed: "He actually used such a simple method to control the power of the consortium?"

"Or maybe, he is just like what he said after the disaster left, but he is no longer confused..."

Someone sneered in a low voice: "When will a madman who kills people at every turn be willing not to kill people?"

"Of course it's because he has a clearer goal in mind, and keeping these people will be more conducive to him completing this goal!"

"..."

"There are two key points now!"

For the foundation, which has the biggest shortage of smart people, understanding this is actually just the simplest thing. In another most senior office, the three founders gathered together for a rare occasion. They did not need to deal with it. Those simple matters were discussed, but after Wei Wei left the manor, there was a long silence. It seemed that both of them had analyzed the matter many times in their hearts.

The silence lasted for a long time before being broken: "We need to find out, first, what Calamity has done. Second, what Scarlet is planning to do."

The people next to him did not question it. The person sitting in the middle seemed to have been thinking for the longest time. When he spoke, he just whispered: "Invite the intelligence agent code-named Spider to come over!"

When the Spider Queen entered this most mysterious office, she was a little awed in her heart.

But soon, she adjusted her mood and looked at the three old men sitting quietly in front of the red paint desk with a calm look.

She knew why these people were looking for her.

Because before this matter started, she had already put forward her own suggestion that the foundation should stop the consortium's plan.

But obviously, the foundation did not adopt it.

And the only thing these three legendary figures could ask about if they were willing to meet him was obviously this matter.

So even when facing such an unfathomable big shot, her attitude seemed a bit arrogant when she spoke: "What's the use of seeing me now?"

There seemed to be some self-mockery on her face: "I thought I was smart enough, understood the key, and reported it, but I didn't expect that the foundation's staff was smarter."

"Last time, you became the biggest fool in the world because you didn't interfere."

"And this time, I actually resisted not interfering at all, but because of this I took off the hat of the number one fool."

"It's really amazing..."

She said with mockery on her face: "But I don't understand, are you just watching the show, or are you responsible for protecting the world?"

Faced with the ridicule of such a child, the three founders of the foundation actually behaved very generously at this time. Not only were they not angry, one of them even smiled gently.

Said: "I haven't completely taken off the hat of the number one fool."

"In our initial expectation, the consortium should be cleaned up in this matter, but Scarlet obviously did not do so."

"Instead, he took this opportunity to control the heads of the consortium. This is something beyond our expectations."

"I have to admit, the speed of his growth is somewhat amazing."

"..."

"So, what surprised you was that he turned the consortium leaders into talking and moving living dead, but not that he would survive such a situation?"

Spider keenly discovered the key point and immediately asked.

But the three founders clearly didn't mean to answer her words, and just looked at her quietly.

This kind of silence always makes people feel uneasy.

Spider finally couldn't help but speak, "Why do you want Scarlet to help you clean up those consortium leaders?"

"Isn't it very simple for the Foundation to get rid of these people?"

"..."

"No!"

One of them shook his head and said: "The Foundation has the ability to easily eliminate anyone, but it will never do so."

"Because this will lead to a breakdown of order."

"For the Foundation, the existence of order is the most important thing. This is why the Foundation has tolerated the Church of Order before. Their existence is conducive to the stability of order."

"It's just that some things really make us feel helpless."

"The Church of Order, which is supposed to have order as its core, has continued to have problems. It became the first existence to go to Scrap Iron City and activate this terrifying little guy. Later, it was the first to collapse."

"Their stupidity has reached a level that even the Foundation cannot tolerate, so they have no choice but to ban them."

"Because of this, the current mental barrier is actually very fragile. We are very worried that some kind of chaos will lead to the disintegration of the entire mental barrier."

"..."

Spider listened to the explanations of the three founders with cognition. In fact, she did not expect that she would hear such a serious explanation at first.

These words have caused many doubts in her heart.

After a long time, she could only reply with some stubbornness: "I don't quite understand some of your decisions."

"I know that when you reach your level, what you see in your eyes is no longer just black and white, but completely gray chaos. Everything is just for the pursuit of the greatest balance and benefit."

"But I'm still in the black and white stage, and I only see childish right and wrong in my eyes."

"..."

"This little girl is quite interesting. She sounds like she is laughing at herself, and every word sounds like she is cursing someone..."

The three founders looked at each other, with a smile in their eyes. One of them followed the spider's words and said with a smile: "So, what about Scarlet?"

"According to your logic, what stage is he in?"

"..."

"scarlet……"

Spider was silent for a moment and said, "He is the purest person I have ever seen."

"purely?"

The three founders were slightly curious and looked at the spider with serious eyes.

"right."

Spider said calmly: "You must control more information than me, including research on the scarlet power in him, as well as some things about scarlet before. I am not high enough and have not seen these, but I understand him, Since the training camp, I have known all about his habits, thinking, and style of doing things... After all, I am also his ex-girlfriend, and who knows a person better than his ex-girlfriend?"

"..."

The three founders were a little dumbfounded. It took a long time for someone to laugh and say: "So, as an ex-girlfriend, what do you think he wants to do?"

"It's very simple..."

Spider looked at the three founders and said: "In the beginning, you studied him, observed him, and put him into many dangerous environments in the secret battlefield to see what he would do. At that time, you thought that what you saw was just A child who came down from the garbage mountain made countless predictions and experiments on this child. But later, he suddenly discovered that he was not that child, but the scarlet body..."

"So you overturned all previous judgments?"

"At least in my opinion, this is unnecessary. I don't know what's inside him and how much influence it has. It's just that when I got to know him, he was already like this."

"Looking at it now, his various reactions are also consistent with my understanding of him."

"So I firmly believe that he is still the same child, but he is always deeply panicked and does not want the tragedy that happened to happen again."

"His younger brothers and sisters can no longer come back, so in his heart, the only possibility left is to prevent this kind of thing from happening again. For this, he will not hesitate to sacrifice anything..."

"..."

These words made the three founders slightly surprised: "So extreme?"

"What I understand is purity, but the difference is not much."

Spider whispered: "And this is why I suggested to my superiors before that you should protect the girl named Ye. She can awaken Scarlet's humanity."

"human nature……"

The three founders frowned slightly, and one of them said: "We thought you saw something more critical when you were in Scrap Iron City, such as the divinity hidden in that girl..."

"If I see this and don't report it truthfully, that would be a dereliction of duty on my part."

Spider became serious and said, "In fact, I am just completing my work truthfully."

"When we were in Scrap Iron City, I noticed that the way she looked at Wei Wei was different. Perhaps it was the disaster that had planted some different emotions towards scarlet in her subconscious, and this emotion was just To Scarlet, not to Wei Wei, but what is it and what does it matter? Even if it happened at first because of a misunderstanding, when they reacted to each other, they had already achieved the most real thing."

"..."

Listening to her talk, she seemed to be in a low mood, but one of the founders asked curiously: "You seem... not very happy?"

"My ex-boyfriend found a girlfriend, of course I'm not happy."

Spider said confidently: "I hope my ex-boyfriend will always be single and lick me forever."

"..."

The three founders felt truly confused for the only time in this evening's chat.

"Saving that girl will change Scarlet?"

One of the founders who pursues efficiency asked directly: "But based on our observation this time, he saved the girl... although it was not with our help..."

"But the threat on him has not been reduced because of this..."

"..."

"You always thought he was a threat."

Spider frowned and said, "After asking me so many questions, I also want to ask you, what exactly is he in your eyes?"

The three founders were slightly silent.

After a long time, someone answered in a low voice: "A bomb that will explode at any time."

"He always has a smile on his face, and smiling is a unique skill for human beings. He has mastered it very well and is very skilled."

"But we all know that behind his hypocritical smile is the violence and madness that will draw a gun and kill someone if he disagrees with him."

"No one can sleep peacefully under his watch."

"..."

After hearing these words, Spider became slightly silent, as if he had to admit that these words were very close to the truth.

But she still replied a little stubbornly: "There may be someone who can sleep, such as the lamb he always wanted to protect."

"You can't sleep, maybe just because you are not lambs..."

"..."

The three founders suddenly became speechless and found that they seemed to have been severely slapped by the little girl in front of them.

"hehe……"

As if to cover up the embarrassment on his face, one of them smiled and said to the other two: "She knows very few things, but she actually said some things very well..."

"maybe……"

The founder in the middle stood up slowly and smiled at the spider: "It is true that because we are not lambs, we feel how scary he is, just like before those consortiums did this, what they were most afraid of was the consortium, but , My child, things have reached this point, we also want to invite you to see something, and ask you to help us judge whether the concerns of the three of us are justified. "

"What are you looking at?"

Spider was a little surprised, and suddenly discovered that these three mysterious big men called him over, and it seemed that they didn't just want to know more about Scarlet through him.

"The secret about the very beginning of this world."

The three founders looked at each other, and the middle one sighed softly: "It is also the origin of the Thirteen Gods."

"Or, their mother..."
