Scarlet Falls

Chapter 86 Heartbeat

The work assigned by the captain has been completed, and there are other gains.

Moreover, I got the money back.

This made Wei Wei feel that his day was going well. He found a place where no one was around, uncorked the glass bottles, and let the white spirits trapped inside fly out. Then he picked up the last bottle. A bottle has returned to the market.

These ghosts will soon dissipate, leaving the dead with the peace they deserve.

The one he specially left behind was indeed the one he planned to use to experiment with his new abilities. It was a bottle that was nearly twice the size of other glass bottles, and the shadows wandering inside were not like the other shadows. Mostly white, but a mixture of gray and black.

He seemed to be very irritable, rushing into the glass bottle like a strong wind, always showing a ferocious face.

"Good stuff..."

Wei Wei sighed with emotion: "If I didn't have more than a dozen lives in my body, I would definitely not be able to develop such ferocity..."

Ghosts also have quality.

Even if ordinary people with weak personalities become ghosts after death due to various factors, they will dissipate quickly and become sluggish and lifeless, lacking spirituality and aggression. But some people who were arrogant and fierce when they were alive will become more solid than others after becoming ghosts, have strong aggressiveness, and have the ability to exist independently for a long time without being processed.

And the better one is of course his own kind.

During a certain test at the training camp, he said that if he became a ghost, the quality would definitely be top-notch.

But Wei Wei never became proud because of this.

It's just a back road. One day Duo Scarlet will find it hard to take this road, so he can try his luck in the ghost industry.

…

Before the captain came out, he went to the barbecue stall and ordered a large handful. He put it to his nose and smelled it:

"Well, it's not human flesh..."

Feeling relieved, I started to enjoy it.

Holding the glass bottle that he picked out in his hand, he was observing while eating.

Normal people cannot feel anything special when they get this kind of "ghost", nor can they touch it. They can't even see what is inside the glass bottle. They will only feel a cold touch when holding the glass bottle in their hands. , a feeling of pessimism, sadness, and despair would subconsciously arise, but now that Wei Wei held the glass bottle, he felt a subtle impulse.

I could clearly see the ghost running rampant in the glass bottle.

There is even an intuition that I can touch it directly.

Is this the change that came to me after being promoted to the third stage of the scarlet system?

Crossed the line.

In the past, I could deal with things similar to ghosts, such as some powers of the death system, but I could only rely on bullets or energy hedging to cause the opponent's annihilation. But such a touch, or even a deeper level, has never happened... …

It's a little strange...

After he was promoted to the third stage of Scarlet, it stands to reason that the only new ability he gained was "touching the soul".

But now I have two desires.

One is similar to the ghost in front of you, and you have an intuitive sense of control over it.

This should be a change brought about by ability.

But the other kind is the hidden expectation and desire when the work of art is reported.

This may mean that this new ability of mine has strong room for development?

What the devil's power brings to him is just a kind of surreal ability, but how to develop this ability often has a lot to do with the extraordinary person himself. Wei Wei's disadvantage is that because of the lack of reference, many things need to be done by himself. Research.

But his advantage is that even the instructors have praised him for being very pioneering in the use of his abilities.

"A normal mind would never think of this..."

The instructor said it very seriously at the time and gave himself a high evaluation in this regard.

…

Now that I have the ghost, I can help myself complete the test well.

The artwork has also been released, and it is also unknown what changes it will cause.

In Wei Wei's heart, it would be false to say that he had no expectations at all.

However, you should still put work first, and then slowly develop new abilities when you return.

With this thought in mind, he first put away the ghost bottle, then took out the "Book of Origins" and read through it slowly.

This Life Demon Bible bound with A4 printing paper is thicker than expected. It is densely packed with records of various praises to the Goddess of Life, and the various gifts you will receive after believing in the Goddess of Life. …

...To put it simply, it is the changes that occur after being contaminated.

There are even records of a large number of strict procedures and ritual standards for worshiping the goddess of life.

Of course, even so, this "Book of Origins" is still incomplete.

That boss is a profiteer.

It's a pity that I can't go back to find him now.

I don’t know how many fanatic believers have devoted their lives to compiling praises to the goddess of life, researching and utilizing the power of life, studying various fallen creatures in the life system and different sacrificial methods among totems, and even inventing a new one. A sacrificial ceremony that can elicit a response from the "Goddess of Life" or the "Superior Totem" is regarded as the biggest goal in one's life.

If it really wanted to be complete, it would probably require a whole bunch of thick books, not just one.

Of course, the good thing is that what is recorded in the "Book of Origins" are all ancient and basic sacrifices.

And such sacrifices often represent the most powerful and reliable.

With a training camp graduate's basic contempt for the devil of life, Wei Wei flipped through page after page of praises that would make gods blush if they really existed, and quickly found the part about sacrifices. , filtering out bit by bit.

"well……"

Just as Wei Wei's heart moved slightly, he heard a sigh from beside him.

Captain Ouyang's clothes were loose and he was sweating on his forehead as he squeezed out from the crowd.

He happily picked up the cigarette next to Wei Wei, lit one, and sighed: "Did you buy the Book of Origins?"

"bought."

Wei Wei immediately closed the Book of Origins, looked at Captain Ouyang in surprise, and said, "Why did the Captain come out so quickly?"

"What's so fast?"

Captain Ouyang, who was smoking happily, froze and glanced at Wei Wei: "I was a little worried about you, afraid that you would wander around in this chaotic trading place and get into trouble again, so I hurried and hurried. Come out and look at you, okay..."

"..."

"All right……"

Wei Wei had no choice but to accept this explanation, but he was still muttering in his heart.

Who does the captain think he is?

Are you the kind of person who gets into a lot of trouble just after being separated from your boss for a while?

At this moment, a commotion suddenly sounded in the distance.

I saw the crowd being squeezed away, three or five strong men with bullets wrapped around their bodies, and a few skinny monkeys carrying machetes or holding homemade spray guns angrily walked past the street, vaguely heard Someone was shouting: "Hurry up, hurry up, someone seems to have died..."

"I don't know who killed the old Sun who sold injections..."

"..."

A group of people swept around the street with fierce eyes, as if they wanted to find the murderer, and swarmed away.

Wei Wei and Captain Ouyang watched the excitement from the side.

After a long while, Captain Ouyang turned around and glanced at Wei Wei strangely: "You didn't cause anything, did you?"

"No……"

Wei Weidao: "What trouble can I cause in such a short time?"

Captain Ouyang narrowed his eyes and said, "Don't say anything short or fast today."

As he spoke, he glanced at the group of gun-toting men who were running rampant in the trading field, with a solemn and serious look on his face, and sighed:

"However, after seeing them, another worry I had was confirmed."

"..."

Wei Wei glanced at Captain Ouyang with some confusion, only to see his eyes narrowed slightly, and he whispered: "This devil trading place was previously established under the protection of the Seventh Order of the Wandering Church outside the city. It is responsible for maintaining Those who order are also their people.”

"So once there is a dispute or dispute, people in these trading venues will immediately go to the people of the sect to resolve it."

"But now, even if people lose their lives, they are just a bunch of headless chickens with guns running around..."

"So, my guess came true, the Seventh Order of Priests disappeared."

"..."

"The Seventh Order of Priests is..."

Wei Wei vaguely guessed it, but was not sure yet.

"The seventh clergy of the Wandering Church is also the current seventh armed force of the Wandering Church."

Captain Ouyang whispered: "They appeared around Scrap Iron City three years ago and have never left. And there has never been an order from above for us to expel them... Of course we don't have the ability... In fact, three years ago Since a long time ago, there have been many forces of unknown origin in Scrap Iron City. But no matter what, this seventh religious sect is the biggest threat to Scrap Iron City."

After a pause, he said softly: "The battle nuns from the last time were sent in by them."

"You are very familiar with him and gave him twenty-one bullets."

"..."

"...It's all our instructor's fault, otherwise I would have told the captain about this matter."

Wei Wei hurriedly explained and changed the subject: "Captain is here just to observe if they are still there?"

"yes."

Captain Ouyang nodded and said: "We have three tasks now:"

"The first is to determine the nature of the other party's sacrifice and determine the other party's purpose. This is why I bought the Book of Origins."

"The second is to see if there are any changes in this wandering religious group outside the city, and to judge their threat to Scrap Iron City."

As he spoke, he sighed: "Actually, I originally thought that you would cause some trouble if you wandered around the market by yourself, so that I could observe the reaction of the Seventh Priesthood. I didn't expect that you would be quite obedient, but from now on From observation, my worries were confirmed.”

"The members of the Seventh Priesthood have disappeared. Who knows what they are gathering together to plan..."

"..."

The captain actually still has this idea.

It seems that he really doesn't understand himself and underestimates his ability to deal with troubles.

"Captain, what is the third mission?"

"..."

"Looking for other life-sacrifice peripheral hunters."

Captain Ouyang said: "Only by finding them can we confirm that there are indeed other sacrificial sites, and can we write a report that is enough to convince the higher ups to send support directly. Unfortunately, this is the most difficult point. That report If it is released, it will indeed deter them, but it will also make those hunters more careful, and it will be difficult to catch them."

Wei Wei's heart suddenly moved: "Then Feifei..."

"Feifei is unreliable. Sometimes it helps a lot, sometimes it only hurts..."

Captain Ouyang shook his head: "The precise control and widespread influence of demonic power have always been the most difficult problem to reconcile. In our team, Uncle Gun and Xiao Lin's abilities can be precisely controlled, while Lucky and Feifei's abilities are those that can be precisely controlled. She is mysterious but uncontrollable, maybe only Piggy... Well, don't count on her for everything anyway, she is just an unlucky person..."

"Xiao Wei, you have to remember that we are all just people who have gained the power of demons, not gods."

"So our abilities are destined to be limited, so let's work..."

"……Take it easy!"

"..."

Wei Wei resisted the urge to slap Captain Ouyang.

But what Captain Ouyang said is right. We are not gods. Who can find the people hiding in the secret...

At this moment, he suddenly felt a little excited in his heart, and he raised his head and looked somewhere.

"What's wrong?"

Captain Ouyang noticed something unusual about him and asked in a low voice.

For a moment, Wei Wei couldn't answer.

It was also the first time that he had this strange feeling.

In my ears, I could faintly hear the sound of my heart beating.
