Scarlet Falls

Chapter 34 Model Employee (Update 1)

The candle was mostly burned, with only a short section left.

Compared to a living room that is close to fifty square meters, there is only one candle, and the light is not enough to illuminate the entire space.

Therefore, most areas of the living room are filled with darkness, including the drowsy old man sitting on the sofa, the flower pots in the corner, the entrances to other rooms, and the folds in his pajamas. Looking from the floor-to-ceiling windows, there are dots of lights outside, forming a sharp contrast. There are also chandeliers and wires in this living room, but neither the old man nor Captain Ouyang wants to open them.

Captain Ouyang is drinking and eating.

He brought a white triangular napkin with him, and in front of him was a plate of grilled tomahawk steak, served with authentic Russian pickles. There is also a glass of red wine on hand. The origin is not so particular, but it has been collected for many years.

He ate happily and exclaimed with satisfaction from time to time.

"I am almost dead, or at the next moment, I will suddenly turn into a bloody knight and rush towards you."

The old man curled up on the sofa opposite let out a faint sigh: "Then you, the person who came to see me in the name of a friend, took the best steak in my refrigerator and fried it until medium rare in my kitchen. , in front of me, an old man who is so weak that he can’t even drink the soup, he eats with gusto and deliberately smacks his lips, isn’t this a bit too much?”

"I am your friend..."

Captain Ouyang took a big bite, filled his mouth with some blood juice, and breathed a sigh of satisfaction.

"When friends come to your home, shouldn't you entertain them?"

"I know you're too weak to move right now, so what's wrong with me entertaining myself?"

"Besides, you are already so weak that you will die at any time, or be swallowed by the power of demons and turn into a corrupted monster, so the good steaks and red wine you have left at home are useless. I won't eat them now. What if it expires in the future?"

"..."

After a long time, the old man sighed and looked at the injection box on the coffee table.

"It was too painful to hold on. There were many times that I didn't want to hold on any longer."

He looked at Captain Ouyang with some resentment in his eyes: "But every time you come over, I have the urge to not want to die."

"In this world, you bitches can't be the only ones who live long..."

"..."

"Haha, then be obedient and use the injection well."

Captain Ouyang said: "If I can live a little longer, I would like to come and see you more. You have always had a good eye for picking things."

"I'm just too busy and don't have time to choose..."

"..."

The old man was silent and suddenly said: "Isn't it because you have lost all your money and can't afford it?"

Captain Ouyang: "..."

"But don't worry, I really don't want to die so soon."

The old man said in a low voice: "Because I still want to see what that thing is waiting for. The devil's taboo item known as the legacy of God, even if it is on the first city's defense line, is enough to cause a bloody storm, it can appear anywhere. , can easily create a demon kingdom, but why has it stayed in a shabby place like Scrap Iron City for so many years?"

"God's legacy?"

Captain Ouyang was stunned, put down the red wine glass that he had put to his mouth, and said, "Are you still thinking about this?"

"We have tried to find it many times, but there is no trace of it at all. Even the Foundation has given up investigating."

"..."

"I wasn't sure about it before either."

The old man sighed softly and said: "But now I am too weak. The demonic power has completely corroded my body, mind and spirit. This has made me extremely sensitive to the demonic whispers, so now I can hear them instead." It’s whispering.”

"It's always there, and it's becoming more and more active..."

"..."

His mood suddenly became a little excited, and the sunken eye sockets that were not illuminated by candlelight lit up like will-o'-the-wisps.

Staring at Captain Ouyang, he said: "A demonic forbidden object at the level of God's Legacy will not do meaningless things. There is nothing in this world that can make it lie dormant and wait for so long. Therefore, if it stays here, there must be something." A very terrible purpose..."

"Don't underestimate it. The fourth secret war may be triggered by it..."

"..."

Captain Ouyang looked at the old man silently, his right hand ready to reach into the inside of his suit and draw the gun.

But it wasn't until the old man coughed violently that he was sure that the old man had no signs of degeneration and was just simply agitated. So he held the knife with his palm without any trace, slowly cut off a large piece of beef, and put it into his mouth. Stop chirping.

"Don't worry, I'll watch over here."

He said slowly: "Although the Wandering Cult has frequent activities, the number of people who worship devils has not decreased."

"But, overall, everything is fine..."

"..."

The old man suddenly looked at him suspiciously: "Are you sure there is nothing abnormal?"

"No……"

Captain Ouyang answered, suddenly hesitating: "It's just that a young man recently joined the team..."

The old man's eyes suddenly became cold and stern, and his cold aura aroused, as if he had returned to the time when he was fighting in the wilderness with blood.

"But there's nothing wrong with him."

Captain Ouyang immediately said: "I came from a formal training camp and have undergone many times more tests than us."

"Also, although the contact was not long, I also feel that this is..."

"A good team member with a kind and shy personality, serious and meticulous work, civilized and disciplined, and hard-working..."

"...At most, my decoration hobby is different from other people's."

"..."

The old man didn't speak for a long time, but his breathing gradually became heavier. After a while, he whispered: "After all, I didn't accept the invitation of the foundation, so I can't interfere with you now. You are the captain of the Sheriff of Scrap Iron City, but Ouyang, I I must remind you that if the relics of God begin to appear, it will be strange if nothing happens to Scrap Iron City. You should be more vigilant..."

"We came from the wilderness and know some things, so we shouldn't be too naive, especially..."

"...You are also older."

"..."

Captain Ouyang just frowned and slowly drank the red wine in the glass.

Life is really wonderful!

On the first day Wei Wei came to report, he felt that he was in the right place.

In the first month of coming here, I realized that I really like this place.

Eat well, Brother Piggy always makes delicious food that doesn't seem to be healthy, but makes people willing to indulge in it.

I live well and the house has been completely decorated to look like what I imagined.

Colleagues are also very nice.

Whether it’s Captain Ouyang who makes himself look humane every day but doesn’t do much in human affairs, or Uncle Gun, who is cheerful every day and doesn’t look like a regular sequence at all, or maybe he usually has a quiet handsome man, but Whenever you get close to him, there will be the broadcaster Brother Xiao Lin who calmly tells some news from his mouth, or the beautiful unlucky guy Ye Feifei.

Everyone gets along very happily, and a unit that lacks competitiveness is really conducive to cultivating relationships...

But the only problem is that it's too busy here.

In this small base, there is no training or training. Even if you look at the information, everyone will look at you like the old employees of the company looking at the newcomers who have just graduated, so that after Wei Wei finished painting the house, All that was left was the usual duties and chatting, or playing ball with Uncle Gun and being beaten to death, or going to the wet market with Brother Piggy to buy vegetables for cooking.

Ye Feifei couldn't hold himself back and started patrolling the streets again.

During this period, Wei Wei thought about whether he should go with her, but was severely stopped by the people at the base.

After the last incident, they were a little wary of Wei Wei and Ye Feifei getting together again.

However, it was a bit distressing to see Wei Wei come to the base at a fixed time every day, with nothing to do except eat. Therefore, Uncle Gun kindly brought a pile of information to Wei Wei and asked him to help sort it out if he had nothing to do. , find some clues.

Aren't you too bored? Then do some chores. It just so happens that the Black Goat family hasn't been found yet.

This is the only amount of work in the base, and it’s all up to you. Is it enough to take care of the newcomers?

To be honest, Wei Wei is not a picky person.

But right now, he is really not interested in finding this black goat family.

But there is really nothing else to do at the moment. The only serious thing in the entire Scrap Iron City base may be that one team member goes to the security hall every day from Monday to Friday to do this job. But now for five days, all the team members have been The five full-time staff were divided among the five. The two interns, Wei Wei and Ye Feifei, did not have the right to go to the security hall to serve as consultants and drink coffee.

Therefore, Wei Wei, who was bored, had no choice but to doze off every day holding the pile of information suspected to be related to the Black Goat Family.

This work attitude moved everyone in the base.

What a nice young man...

I'm so sleepy that I don't even go home to sleep...

Wei Wei had just finished lunch with Brother Piggy in the base and washed the dishes. He was about to find a place to relax for a while, but unexpectedly, he heard the sound of Kaka's high heels stepping on the ground. On the wooden stairs, Sister Lucky changed her clothes. She was wearing a slim-fitting linen suit, with dazzling diamond earrings on her ears, and a pair of high heels that were at least ten centimeters, revealing her slender and soft ankles.

Zuan Nuan walked downstairs and said to Wei Wei: "Xiao Wei, I see that you have performed well during this period. Come with me today."

"Sister, I'll take you to a shopping mall."

"..."

"Going to the mall?"

Wei Wei looked at Sister Lucky with some surprise, and saw her looking at him with a smile:

"Have you forgotten what I promised you?"

"..."

Wei Wei blinked and suddenly remembered the gift that Sister Lucky mentioned when she first met him.

It's not just a joke, you really want to give it away?

I’ll add an update today so that everyone can enjoy it more.
