Scarlet Falls

"I volunteer to sacrifice..."

"Pray for the sheep-faced devil to come and help me take revenge..."

"I am willing to sacrifice two children..."

"..."

Rustling, endless sounds of longing poured into Wei Wei's sleep, and he seemed to see pale faces and scenes of bizarre and illusory scenes.

This caused him to slowly open his eyes in the crimson room, and saw the blood-dazzling walls and dim lights.

In the corner of the wall, the ghost lady was floating around curiously, and there was a gust of cold wind. On the hook beside the door, next to the black raincoat, there was a human head hanging there, with eyes that seemed to be open and closed, revealing a faint shadow.

The sense of security brought by the real environment quickly made Wei Wei get rid of the depression in his sleep.

More than a week has passed since the Noah competition, and Wei Wei has often been awakened by such gibbering recently.

A week ago, the sheep-faced demon appeared in Scrap Iron City, dissected the monster created by the Order Sect, and pierced the sword of fear into everyone's hearts.

But from that time on, it seemed that the number of people who believed in the sheep-faced devil suddenly increased, and Wei Wei began to hear countless prayers every day and night.

These prayers are filled with mixed messages.

Some seek wealth, some seek revenge, some seek comfort from gods, some seek success in pursuing women, and some even seek children.

With the help of the concept of the sheep-faced devil, Wei Wei suddenly felt a little embarrassed when he heard these different sounds just like he had heard those fearful heartbeats before.

I do have a helpful personality, but apart from asking for a child, I can't help with anything else.

In particular, the prayers of these people made Wei Wei feel their strong desire, but at the same time, he could also clearly read their spiritual world.

He saw the one who asked for revenge. He was very generous and wanted to sacrifice his two sons. After all, these two sons were not his biological children, and the target of his revenge was his son's biological father.

The one who seeks wealth is willing to sacrifice his rival so that he can monopolize the rag collecting business on that street.

The one who asked for a child was the most direct. He said directly that he would not lock the door when he went to bed tonight...

It’s messy, it’s too messy.

How could something like this happen all of a sudden?

After protecting Scrap Iron City in the previous chaos, everyone was nervous and full of uncertainty, thinking that something would happen soon.

But other things went surprisingly smoothly.

Old Crow let him go, but also warned himself that the foundation would respond soon.

But after waiting for a week, the foundation was unexpectedly silent. Even the work report submitted by Captain Ouyang to the superior organization was calmly accepted by Star City and a reward was drawn up.

But the Foundation actually didn't mention a word about the sheep-faced demon.

The betrayers who had been stabbed by him in Noah's Arena before had been picked up and sent to the nursing home in Star City. This caused a huge change in the position of the Sheriff of the Fourth District. Many cities are already empty of vacancies. It should be considered the most insecure time in the fourth district. However, the entire fourth district has begun an unprecedented period of safety.

The reason is simple. The Sheriff's seat is indeed quite empty, but the mysterious organization's seat is even more empty.

Almost all of them died.

Now their bodies have been hastily cremated and buried by the people of the Scrap Iron City Organization. Some farms have even bought a large amount of fertilizer.

And those mysterious organizations are even more cute and well-behaved.

Not long ago, Uncle Yuan took the initiative to send a few pigs over, saying that he would take care of all the pork at the Scrap Iron City Sheriff's Base in the future, and he would also take care of Dong Yaya's pocket money.

From this perspective, the biggest problem in Scrap Iron City now is the corruption problem of Dong Yaya and her grandchildren.

As for Captain Ouyang and the others, they seemed to be preparing for something during this period, and they seemed less concerned about the foundation's affairs.

Wei Wei knew that they were probably looking for the whereabouts of a demon totem, and in their attitude, this matter even took priority over a stable retirement.

Regarding this matter, Wei Wei is not in a hurry. Anyway, he has become a regular employee. When he needs help, he believes that Captain Ouyang will not be polite to him. He just doesn't cause trouble for them for now.

No matter how I think about it, I feel like it’s time to relax and take a break recently.

But now the increasingly mixed flow of information and prayers has caused Wei Wei to have new worries.

I haven't got enough money to attend my class reunion yet, but there are so many people begging me to help me have children. How can I do this?

"Hear it again?"

On the wall, the sound of hanging human heads sounded faintly.

At some point, both of its eyes opened, and with some deep meaning, they looked at Wei Wei lying on the sofa.

"Can you hear it?"

Wei Wei turned over and touched the cigarette case on the coffee table. Only the last crumpled cigarette was left.

I have been busy saving money recently, and I don’t dare to be so lavish when buying cigarettes.

After such a long time, not much of the money I brought in from the training camp has been spent. As for the matter of borrowing money from Ye Feifei, I haven't found a suitable opportunity to mention it yet.

"Oh, I'm not the only one who can hear it?"

The head pendant glanced at Wei Wei with a half-smile, raised the corners of his eyes forward, and said, "She can hear it too."

After looking at the ghost lady who was wandering around the room as if looking for something, Wei Wei rubbed his temples helplessly.

"These prayers are actually a substantial force."

The head pendant whispered: "Don't say it's you, even those of us who stay with you can feel the endless spiritual power pouring in from all directions!"

"For some high-level concept, this kind of prayer, even this kind of belief, is a kind of power."

"Just like one of the sources of the truth demon's power, certain concepts may not be the truth originally, but if more people believe it, it becomes the truth, and it is also a weapon they can use."

"the same as you."

"When there are so many people thinking about you all the time and trying to get strength from you, this kind of power starts to gather towards you."

"..."

Wei Wei took two puffs of the cigarette, then put it out, intending to save it and continue smoking.

His expression was thoughtful: "What should I do?"

"Of course it's a response."

The head pendant said: "Only by responding will you confirm your existence, deepen the trust of believers in you, and make them more devoted to you, and your power will become stronger and stronger."

"How to respond to this?"

Wei Wei couldn't help but think of the female believer who promised him not to lock the door at night.

"Oh, it's difficult, isn't it?"

The head pendant seemed to have understood Wei Wei's troubles a long time ago. He laughed softly and said, "This is actually inevitable."

"People pray when they have desires in their hearts, and desires cannot be seen directly."

"The Twelve Gods Church has always faced this kind of dilemma."

"The more abundant sacrifices you offer, the easier it is to get a response from the Twelve Gods. However, behind every rich sacrifice, there is a twisted desire. So, how should the Twelve Gods use the richness of the sacrifices? To respond to believers, or to respond to believers with the content of desire? Even the Church of the Twelve Gods cannot make an accurate decision between the two, so they are becoming more and more like demons."

"It's much easier to be a devil than a god."

"The devil only needs to consider whether the sacrifice is rich enough, but a god needs to decide what to respond to."

"..."

Wei Wei was stunned for a while and looked at the head pendant: "I don't quite understand what you said..."

"?"

The head pendant almost looked anxiously: "You, a living person, can't use your head as well as me, a dead person?"

Wei Wei looked at it calmly and reached out to touch the gun bag.

The head pendant immediately apologized: "It was my fault. I forgot about your condition."

Wei Wei smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, but what should I do now? Listening to this every day is very detrimental to my mental health..."

“You need preachers.”

The head pendant said it immediately, his eyes seemed to be shining slightly, and he was a little excited: "You need someone to represent you and spread your thoughts and ideas in the real world."

"You showed miracles when you faced the new god of the Church of Order."

"Now, you need to let people understand what kind of god you are and what kind of prayers they should make to you."

"When your believers understand you, their prayers will not be so confusing, and their spirits will move closer to you, allowing your own strength to be refined."

"Of course, the more important thing for a preacher is to have more believers."

"It's not just limited to the fearful people in Scrap Iron City, but it's spreading to the surrounding areas, all over the spiritual barriers, and even covering the entire wilderness!"

"..."

Listening to it, everyone was already a little excited.

The face of a dead man suddenly showed a positive and smug expression.

Wei Wei sounded a little confused: "Why should I cover the wilderness?"

"?"

The head pendant was stunned: "Is it in vain that you agree with me?"

"Do you think you are very powerful now?"

It stared at Wei Wei with hatred: "You are just starting now. Your believer, your accumulation, you have not even reached the totem level, and you want to lie down?"

"no……"

Wei Wei was frightened by its seriousness and felt a little guilty for no reason.

But I still felt something was wrong in my heart: "The key is, according to you, I should preach doctrines and cultivate believers?"

"yes……"

"Then what's the difference between me and those leaders of mysterious families and those totems that tempt people to fall?"

"...There is no difference in the first place, everyone is the same."

"..."

"But I am a foundation investigator..."

Wei Wei was really distressed: "My job is to eliminate the totems of these mysterious families and gods and ghosts."

"With your current abilities, how can you destroy others?"

The head pendant said: "If you don't quickly expand your influence and ideas, you won't even have the ability to protect yourself."

"But if I do this, I become them, so how can I eliminate them?"

"..."

The head pendant was also a little confused: "One of the two of us has a problem, but it's definitely not me..."

"If this is really the case, then there may be only one solution..."

Wei Wei thought seriously for a long time and whispered: "I want to apply to the foundation to see if they agree with me..."

The expression of the head pendant suddenly became wonderful, even if the suggestion seemed absurd.

"You, the evil god's embryo with the most potential, want to apply to the evil god's greatest enemy to establish your own mysterious organization?"

It exclaimed: "Then I support you."

"It's not because I agree, but I really want to know the foundation's reaction when it sees your application."

It's smoothed out, now I finally have an idea to write that makes me excited.
