Chapter 10 Methods of self-preservation

When Captain Ouyang asked this sentence, his voice was extremely slow, and there was some uncertainty in his tone.

It seems that even he never thought that he would ask this question so quickly, although he knew that it would be a matter of time or time, but this kind of inquiry that goes straight to the core of the secret often represents the emergence of variables and the birth of danger......

Three years ago, there was a bloody incident in the small scrap iron city.

A young man from the ruins outside the city, carrying a rusty sickle, walked into Room 302 of Building 7 in the fifteenth block.

No one knows what happened.

Only the neighbor who called the police trembled on the TV and said that the room rang out with terrible screams and demonic laughter.

The sound of tears and blood splattering as the blade sliced into the body was heard.

I saw that the fish in the fish tank in my living room suddenly crashed into the glass wall like crazy, and the fish's brain knocked out.

See frightened bats gathering and crashing like a whirlwind in the streets......

……

……

When the reporters from the Security Department and the newspaper arrived, they saw the boy sitting in a bloody daze.

A family of six, four men and two women, were all killed in this room 302.

This incident spread like the wind throughout the scrap iron city, and it also caused extreme panic for a while.

People living in urban areas are even afraid of the people who gather outside the city and make a living by picking up garbage and waste.

In the years since, even the usual contempt and arrogance have decreased a lot.

It is precisely because this incident is so big that this case ends extremely quickly.

In less than a month, the news came that the teenager involved had been identified as a murderer and shot.

Many people thought that this matter was over, but after that incident, Captain Ouyang, who came to Scrap Iron City to take over the supernatural event handling duties here, naturally knew more secrets than ordinary people, or rather, unreasonable details:

For example, the family in that news report is not a family, although they are also used to using "family" as a unit.

For example, in addition to the remains of those people, a number of other things were found at the scene.

For example, there are traces of supernatural rituals all over the house.

Even when the news came later that the person involved had been tortured and killed, he did not feel suspicious.

Before, or now, in order to quell some panic, it is not uncommon to scapegoat some inherently innocent people.

It's just that even he didn't expect that this matter would not end.

Three years later, the boy actually returned, rented the room, and painted it ......

…… Such a festive look.

……

Facing Captain Ouyang's inquiry pointing directly at the core, Wei Wei's face looked very calm.

There is neither the shame of being told through the identity, nor the sudden sadness because someone recalls the old thing.

He didn't even seem to have changed his face, he just looked at Captain Ouyang calmly, and his tone even seemed a little relaxed:

"I thought you recognized me a long time ago......"

“……”

Captain Ouyang leaned back quietly.

Although he had known it for a long time, he couldn't help but be a little vigilant in his eyes.

"However, the captain may have misunderstood something."

Wei Wei suddenly showed some smiles and said, "That person is me, but I am not a murderer." ”

Captain Ouyang raised his eyebrows.

Wei Wei smiled and continued, "Because none of the people I killed at that time were human." ”

……

……

In half of the bright red room, the atmosphere seemed to become a little heavy.

Wei Wei gives the impression of being very gentle, and likes to smile first when he speaks, sincere and serious.

After he admitted his identity, he was also staring at Captain Ouyang seriously, as if he wanted to see the captain's reaction.

This delicate old handsome man seemed to have been infected by Wei Wei's serious emotions at this time, and he knew what the last sentence he added meant, his face exuded melancholy, and after a long time, he just shook his head lightly and sighed.

"I understand you, young man......"

A touch of silence appeared on his face, and his eyes looked at Wei Wei sincerely.

"After the secret war that decided to ban the Church of the Twelve, the world seems to have changed little, people are still ruled by people, there are still classes and strife, ambition and greed, and there are all kinds of vicious events, which are endless."

His voice was slightly heavy, as if he was a little helpless:

"However, I'm one of the people who was infected very early, and you're from a formal training camp, so we all understand."

"The world is not the same anymore."

"The emergence of demonic powers, there are many more man-eating monsters, disasters, and unsolvable diseases......"

"There are a lot more crazy people."

"Some of them worship demons and do whatever it takes to destroy the world, while others are simply greedy, delusionally using the power of demons as a tool to plunder something from others, but they don't know that the rope has been put around their necks."

"These people are really not a pity to die ten thousand times......"

“……”

Captain Ouyang's voice became lower and lower, and then he sighed softly and said:

"It's just that, Xiao Wei, we always have to understand."

"In this world, everyone who wants to live a normal life needs a little luck."

"We don't know when crazy demon believers will appear around us, doing whatever it takes to fulfill the order."

"I don't know when a horde of depraved monsters roaming the wilderness will come rushing towards our dilapidated town."

"I don't even know if just when we thought we were complacent, we heard the devil's whispers that night, and from then on inside became another person, hating the people closest to me before, and only wanted to chop them to pieces......"

"So ......"

He reached out and patted the back of Wei Wei's hand, and said, "Try to think about everything!" ”

"...... will pass"

"Just now, in the face of more and more madness, Xiao Wei, do you know what my greatest wish is?"

“……”

Wei Wei was a little curious, and glanced at the captain with a serious expression: "Get rid of all the demons and protect the people in this city?" ”

"Nope."

Captain Ouyang's face suddenly became slightly excited, and he said in a deep voice: "I just want to live a peaceful and stable life and survive until retirement." ”

"Steadfastly rotten, down-to-earth death, down-to-earth burial."

"And no one will ever dig me out......"

“……”

“?”

Wei Wei suddenly didn't know how to interface.

And Captain Ouyang's serious expression also collapsed suddenly, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and sighed:

"Say a thousand things and ten thousand, Xiao Wei, I don't know why someone like you from a formal training camp would come back."

"But, peace is precious......"

“……”

Wei Wei smiled mildly in the face of the captain's advice, and nodded:

"Okay."

“……”

After sending Captain Ouyang away, Wei Wei sat quietly on the sofa for a while and shook his head slightly.

This Captain Ouyang is a very practical person, he is an old fox, but he chose the most sincere words to communicate with himself.

Seeing that it was not too early, he did not paint the walls, but took his coat and went downstairs.

During the day, there are still some stalls and vendors near this small building.

But at night, the downstairs was clean, as if they were hiding from ghosts, and they didn't dare to look at the building.

Wei Wei had to walk a few hundred meters more, almost all the way to the edge of the fifteenth block, before coming to the lively night market, buying two steamed buns, a large portion of fried rice with eggs, two sausages, a box of fried skewers, and a large tube of ice cream and walked back.

Although Captain Ouyang said that they could also have dinner together in the office.

But now, I just came, and it's not quite suitable.

Quietly eating the dinner he had packed, Wei Wei drank a glass of water and dragged out a box.

He returned to Scrap Iron City and didn't bring much luggage with him.

There were only two large and one small, three boxes, of which, the first box contained a change of clothes and money.

Today, it's the second box.

The box is not big, only 50 centimeters long and 40 centimeters wide, and the material is swarthy, so I can't tell what kind of composite material it is, only a strong and wear-resistant texture. There is a beautiful but extremely complex combination lock at the mouth of the box, which is very mysterious.

Wei Wei pressed his left thumb on the edge of the lock, then entered a long list of passwords, and the box clicked open.

Lifting the lid of the box, a complex set of utensils and potions appeared in front of Wei Wei.

Wei Wei sighed lightly.

Captain Ouyang's idea is actually right, in this world, who doesn't want to live in peace?

He guessed that the purpose of his return was not simple, so he implicitly advised himself:

Don't provoke wrongdoing.

After all, there are too many illogical things in this world, and no matter how well prepared you are and what you learn in the training camp, you can hit your head on the iron plate and become a delicious dish on the table of some monsters.

It's just that Wei Wei doesn't believe that he can be stable by being careful and hiding.

He only believes that the only thing in this world that can keep him alive is the ability to be crazier than a madman.

The only way to ensure that you will not be dug up by others after you die is to bury all your enemies and madmen in the ground first!
