Scarlet Falls

"They don't seem to be in a good mood..."

Wei Wei found that his state was not consistent with the rest of the team, so he hurriedly adjusted himself and showed a concerned look.

He asked Captain Ouyang, "Captain, what did I say wrong?"

"There's nothing wrong with you caring about the progress of your work..."

Captain Ouyang, after being silent for a long time, suddenly glanced at the bathing girl on the table. Seeing that she was still sitting in the bathtub, he sighed deeply and said to Wei Wei: "Xiao Wei, you Did you come back to Scrap Iron City with a mission?"

This was said casually, but it seemed to have great significance.

Wei Wei immediately shook his head and said: "Captain, I applied to come back on my own..."

"real?"

Captain Ouyang unexpectedly asked another question and focused his eyes on Wei Wei's face.

"real."

Wei Wei nodded calmly and met Captain Ouyang's gaze without flinching.

The eyes of everyone else present also became a little solemn at this time. Since Wei Wei came to Scrap Iron City, whether it was his training camp identity that did not require him to come to Scrap Iron City, or the information that was so fake that it made people pinch their noses. , or his mysterious strength, or his "command execution" that gets out of control at every turn, all make people feel that his origins are not that simple, and he has a greater intention.

Of course, there seems to be nothing to discuss about his unique decoration style and mission execution style.

Crazy indeed.

In the past, everyone just speculated, but due to human feelings and sense of propriety, no one really asked this question formally.

Now, it is suddenly open to the face.

And after asking this question, people felt a little surprised.

Wei Wei's answer was very calm, leaving no room for suspicion, but this calmness made people feel even more strange. With such qualifications, he returned to Scrap Iron City and caused so many turmoils, but the result was really... No need for anything, just for work?

...or a hobby?

…

…

"I trust you."

After a long time, Captain Ouyang withdrew his gaze from Wei Wei's face, sighed in a low voice, and suddenly said:

"But when we first came to Scrap Iron City, we had a mission."

"..."

"?"

Wei Wei looked at Captain Ouyang with some surprise.

At this moment, Captain Ouyang looked obviously embarrassed.

The same goes for other team members. I just asked them if they were here with a mission, and they were about to blow themselves up...

Captain Ouyang looked like he was breaking a jar and sighed: "Xiao Wei, actually we..."

"I know."

Wei Wei suddenly smiled and said, "I'm just a little surprised that you guys would actually tell me this."

"Um?"

The eyes of the people around him were focused on him again.

"The former White Ghost Knights, whose training experience is a mystery, were active in the Black Sea area, and made great contributions in the pioneering of the Wandering Order in the wilderness and the exploration of the Devil's Land. They once had the opportunity to be recognized by the Church and became The regular priests of the Wandering Order later accepted a mysterious mission, broke away from the Wandering Order, accepted recruitment from the Foundation, and became the Sheriff of Scrap Iron City..."

Wei Wei smiled and said: "Before accepting the recruitment, I even just defrauded a batch of support from the Wandering Church..."

"Stop it..."

Captain Ouyang suddenly raised his hand, looking a little guilty: "Does the Foundation know everything?"

"Captain, you misunderstood something..."

Wei Weidao: "I'm not from the foundation, but from the training camp."

"This means..."

"Not only can this secret of yours not be considered a secret, the confidentiality level of the information is even very low..."

"..."

"Alas……"

The atmosphere was a bit awkward.

Captain Ouyang couldn't help but waved his hand and said, "The main thing is that we didn't deliberately hide it."

But after being so angry, he couldn't even hold back the sense of mystery and depression just now. He simply sighed and said: "In short, when we came here at the beginning, we did have a mission. To find this thing, not only us , I don’t know how many powerful guys are lurking in Scrap Iron City now, all to find this thing, but it is too mysterious and no one can find any clues about it.”

"We have changed our minds and don't want to fight and kill anymore. It's good to retire in a small place like this."

"It's just that no one expected that when we gave up this purpose, this thing would actually appear in front of our eyes. Three years ago, we had never been so close to it. We didn't even know whether it was real or not. Didn’t even know it existed.”

"..."

The more he talked, the more he felt a little sad and angry: "We haven't made any efforts in this area..."

"But who knew it would be so sudden."

"Now, inexplicably, we are only one step away from locking the location of this thing."

"..."

There was a bit of sadness in the words.

"this……"

Wei Wei immediately sensed the subtle psychological changes in Captain Ouyang and others.

I don’t know if Captain Ouyang and the others really pretended to accept the recruitment when they first entered Scrap Iron City and actually secretly completed the secret mission of the Wandering Church. But they may have tried hard, or they may have given up at the beginning, but who can Think about it, just when I made up my mind to take care of myself in retirement and no longer have anything to do with these things, suddenly there was progress?

"This is probably fate playing tricks on people..."

He sighed in his heart.

Others looked at him with strange eyes: "This is not God playing tricks on people, this is just you playing tricks on people..."

Think about it, in the past three years, I said I didn't care, but in fact I was paying attention to some extent.

But nothing was found in the past three years, but after Wei Wei came back, many clues suddenly surfaced.

Think about it, the Outer Hunters, the Flesh Rose Sacrifice Site, the Chosen Lamb, and the determination of several other locations...

Except for the Book of Origins, almost all were discovered by this newcomer...

No, he even bought the Book of Origins with his own money, and he didn’t even ask anyone in the team for reimbursement!

He just shoved this thing in front of everyone...

…

…

In an awkward and heavy atmosphere, Wei Wei's understanding put a smile on his face and whispered:

"Then captain, what are you going to do?"

"..."

No matter it is the important things that Uncle Yuan said are related to the outcome of the Second Secret War.

The secret of "the power to subdue demons" hidden in Captain Ouyang's mouth all proves the importance of the death knell of the gods.

Since we are so close now, if Captain Ouyang and the others, who are already carrying a heavy burden and are lurking in Scrap Iron City, can get this thing and hand it over to the Wandering Order, who knows what gifts they will receive?

Maybe it's the supreme glory and power?

Anyway, although the church is wandering, its status in the wilderness is like that of a god.

"us……"

Facing Wei Wei's questioning look, Captain Ouyang took a deep breath, and the surrounding eyes focused on him.

Then I heard Captain Ouyang say: "I've given up my choice."

"ah?"

Wei Wei was suddenly surprised and looked at Captain Ouyang blankly.

Not only him, but also other people in the team were a little uncertain and looked at Captain Ouyang.

"I know you have always doubted my thoughts."

Captain Ouyang suddenly seemed very relaxed. He looked at the surrounding team members and said with a smile: "Even though I have promised again and again that I have really given up on this thing, you still don't dare to believe it. But now, I can make a decision in front of you, fuck the legacy of the gods, fuck the death knell of the gods, it’s none of our business.”

"Now, we have found very tangible clues, confirming the existence of this flesh and blood seal. Perhaps after interrogating a few more people, we can even find the true location of the sealed object, then... of course we have to stop here!"

"Xiao Lin."

He suddenly turned his head to look at Brother Xiao Lin and said: "Immediately put all the clues and guesses into a report and send it to the superiors immediately and let them deal with it as they like. These were caught last night The outlying hunters also informed them that they would come over to take over, and we are absolutely not willing to interrogate them anymore anyway... The more secrets we have, the faster they will die!"

"hehe……"

Captain Ouyang glanced at the crowd and said: "Whether it is the person of the god Deathstroke, or the mysterious organization that can seal him, or those guys who are lurking in the scrap iron city with evil intentions, of course, there are also We must not forget the Seventh Priesthood who are hiding now and do not know what they are doing. The whirlpool these forces are involved in is far beyond what we can solve..."

"I'm not going to let my team members die."

As he spoke, he turned to look at Wei Wei and said, "Including you, Xiao Wei."

"From now on, stop investigating everything related to this, and never get close to this thing again."

"This is the order I give you as the captain!"

"..."

Wei Wei was a little stunned and looked up at the captain blankly.

To put it bluntly, this is really the most difficult order I have ever heard.

The captain personally ordered me to slow down my work progress. What should I do?

Turning around, he saw Uncle Qiang, Sister Lucky, Brother Xiao Lin, and even Brother Piggy, who was holding a plate of steamed buns outside, all looking at him eagerly, almost kneeling down and hugging his thighs, begging for mercy. Stop looking so hard...

...Wei Wei was suddenly moved.

In fact, the captain and the others were trying so hard to explain to themselves because they didn't want to give up on themselves.

Otherwise, they can just shrink their heads and let themselves do those dangerous things.

He was moved by this collective warmth. He nodded slightly and said seriously: "I understand, captain!"

"call……"

Captain Ouyang and others suddenly had relaxed expressions on their faces.

"Hurry up……"

They immediately got busy: "Xiao Lin, hurry up and prepare the report and hand it over to the boss. Write it more urgently."

"By the way, prepare a vacation application at the same time..."

"Lucky, prepare a helicopter that can fly away at any time..."

"..."

"..."

An abandoned city more than three hundred miles away from Scrap Iron City.

On the arc-shaped roof of a large commercial mall, the leader of the Seventh Order, wearing a priest's robe and round-rimmed eyes, was facing a tree rising from the ground in front of him, penetrating the entire mall building and rising in mid-air. A big tree with endless branches and leaves spread out in the middle.

The wood of the big tree was actually bright red, and it looked like human flesh and blood, even squirming slightly.

"There are new changes in Scrap Iron City. It seems that some kind of Rainy Night Butcher has appeared."

The leader of the cult smiled and threw a piece of paper aside and said, "It's really getting more lively day by day."

The surface of the big tree was squirming slightly, and the cracked bark seemed to form an open mouth, speaking at the same time:

"Have you made a decision?"

"..."

"They're always hesitant."

The leader of the Seventh Religion smiled and said: "But I think Ouyang should have discovered some clues now and will take action. However, he is different from me. When I first searched the city's memories, , we have already decided to take action.”

"...Of course, in the simplest way."

"..."

"It's also a crazy method. Destroying a city is a big deal, whether it's in the wilderness or a spiritual barrier."

The flesh-like giant tree spoke: "This may indeed provoke a war between the Wandering Order and the Foundation, and may also lead to the Foundation's crazy revenge against our Order. However, after discussion, the Holy See believes that you It’s a plan worth trying.”

"So, the Council of Elders agreed to your request and agreed to give you the forbidden object."

"Only one condition."

"If in the end your ability is not enough to get that thing, you must work hard to destroy it!"

There are too many things going on today, and you may all be eating too much, because my desire to code is just about to start...
