Scarlet Descent-Chapter 56 - Demon Forbidden Objectṣ

"It's the tactical unit of the Wandering Sect," someone said.

As Ye Feifei and Wei Wei each returned to their own cozy nests to rest, Captain Ouyang gathered a group of team members for an unusual meeting: "And it's a high-level tactical unit. Besides the mercenaries providing firepower support, they even have two mentor-level followers. The threat level is so high that even I... "

He paused, then continued, "I almost couldn't handle it."

The team members all rolled their eyes, though logically, the statement wasn't wrong. Now that the side effects of their demonic powers had dissipated and they hadn't used any stabilizing injections, many Transcendent security teams shared this habit. When their demonic powers were active, they would first try to manage the negative effects with their willpower. If possible, they wouldn't use stabilizing injections. This was not only to conserve the injections but also to minimize their own use of them.

Lucky Sister held a mirror, adjusted her chest, and regained her confidence, smiling coldly: "They've been lurking around for so long; they finally couldn't resist coming in?"

Uncle Gun couldn't help but ask, "The most important thing is, what are they looking for?"

The others glanced at him, seemingly feeling the question was unnecessary.

Little Lin spoke calmly, "In all of Scrap Iron City, there are only two things worth their serious search."

"One is Captain Ouyang's head."

He continued dryly, "Of course, his kidneys or heart would also do. If they could take his testicles, that would be even more popular... I heard one of his testicles could sell for ten times its weight in gold on the black market!"

Captain Ouyang's face turned dark.

Little Lin added, "The other thing should be what we couldn't find earlier."

The atmosphere around the meeting table became somewhat oppressive. They all knew what Little Lin was referring to.

"God's Legacy."

"We all know they're searching for this," Lucky Sister said after a moment.

She looked at Captain Ouyang, suspecting he was hiding something.

"Insane people's thought processes are impossible to understand."

Captain Ouyang met the team members' gazes and spoke softly: "Fanatics are the same."

"Now, I'm not sure if this is just another crazy attack or a sign of something bigger, but either way, we need to be prepared. I'll inform the security department and patrol teams. Uncle Gun spread out and gathered more information on the movements of various forces in Scrap Iron City. If they try to do something..."

He narrowed his eyes and whispered, "We'll immediately report it to the higher-ups."

The others found this reasonable and nodded, leaving the meeting table. Only Lucky Sister stayed behind at Captain Ouyang's gesture, sitting across from him.

Captain Ouyang furrowed his brow: "I'm a bit worried about Little Wei."

Lucky Sister looked puzzled, having already confirmed some things.

"Not related to that legendary Demon Forbidden Object."

Captain Ouyang shook his head: "I'm worried about him himself."

"Do you know?"

He sighed softly: "When you stopped the demonic energy field from spreading, that kid rushed to the core without hesitation, even faster than me. After resolving the core, he saw the retreating tactical unit and chased after them alone without even saying goodbye. Luckily, he didn't catch up; if he had..."

Lucky Sister was surprised and hesitated: "Your meaning is?"

After more than a month of interaction, they had just begun to let their guard down around Wei Wei. Although they knew he had a special identity and a somewhat unique aesthetic taste, he was a good kid, respectful to seniors, and diligent in his work. During this mission, they saw his abilities; at least he didn't drag the team down or embarrass the training camp.

Of course, according to Uncle Gun, the young man didn't know how to live frugally. Given three bullets, he used two directly!

But considering it was his first operation, maybe he was a bit nervous and unintentionally wasted some.

It was understandable. "Ah..."

Captain Ouyang slowly shook his head: "I'm sure he's hiding his true strength, and even his records have been deliberately altered. Although he's a very good kid, especially respectful to me as his captain..."

He coughed.

"But whether it's his hobbies or personality, I feel like he's hiding something terrifying inside..." fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm

Lucky Sister's expression turned serious as well: "Then what should we..."

Captain Ouyang's face turned stern, speaking in a deep voice: "We need to show him more care and concern."

Lucky Sister was taken aback: "?"

Captain Ouyang smiled and waved his hand: "It's only natural to care for new members who join our team... But we should still be cautious."

"Don't let him know about anything related to that thing."

"Arrange some other tasks for him. Young people, once they have specific things to do, won't have time to think wildly."

Lucky Sister looked at Captain Ouyang speechlessly: "Where do we have so much work?"

"But we have streets to patrol..."

Captain Ouyang said: "Assign him to patrol the streets..."

"But don't let him team up with Feifei. One radical and one jinx; if they combine, it'll be too terrifying."

Lucky Sister accepted Captain Ouyang's arrangement with some resignation. Before leaving, she suddenly asked: "But you need to tell me one honest thing: what do you think about God's Legacy?"

Captain Ouyang paused, then spoke seriously: "If God's Legacy is really in Scrap Iron City... I'd rather it be taken away by the Wandering Sect immediately to avoid trouble!" God's Legacy?

After waking up, Wei Wei was still pondering this unusual problem. It was hard to connect God's Legacy with small Scrap Iron City.

He didn't doubt the Head Pendant's analysis of the Demon's Directive. After all, before its current form, it was a high-ranking Transcendent from the Knowledge System. Even the person who created the directive might not surpass the original status of the Number 206 Brain.

But Wei Wei was puzzled. Demon Forbidden Objects were ordinary items that became eerie after being tainted with demonic energy. The lowest-level ones were usually paranormal items that could trigger anomalies or pollute the mind. However, these objects would gradually lose their demonic power over time and become ordinary again.

Third-tier Demon Forbidden Objects were typically born at the center of demonic magnetic fields and possessed demonic consciousness. Even if their power dissipated, they could automatically absorb demonic energy to recover. These objects were often used by Transcendents as weapons or decorations to enhance their abilities. However, they continuously emitted demonic radiation, affecting one's consciousness. Some said that wearing them for long periods could make you increasingly irritable, while others claimed they made you more sensitive. There were even rumors that some objects could make you indifferent to women but more attracted to men...

Higher than the third tier were second-tier Demon Forbidden Objects, like the Head Pendant in Wei Wei's possession. These objects had their own will and required sacrifices to use their power.

First-tier Demon Forbidden Objects were legendary items blessed by demons themselves. They had authority, will, and goals, and could even escape or choose their masters. Such objects were usually locked away in the vaults of major forces. Each use was a significant event. Wei Wei had learned from his Instructor that there were even higher-tier Demon Forbidden Objects in the world. However, at that level, they weren't called Demon Forbidden Objects anymore. They were known as "God's Legacy." As the name suggests, these were things held by "gods" and left in reality. "It said this God's Legacy has a strong connection to me?" Wei Wei asked while brushing his teeth, sitting with a trash can in his arms, and frowning at the Head Pendant.

This thing had suddenly woken him from his daze, shouting about God's Legacy and its strong connection to him before quickly falling back asleep. It seemed to have exhausted itself from analyzing the Demon's Directive or was perhaps frightened.

"Find it!" "Must find it!" "Or else, when it finds you, it might be too late..."

These were the words it shouted before falling asleep.

Wei Wei thought he should be optimistic; after all, even when he used a lighter to scorch its hair, it didn't react. Maybe it wasn't pretending to sleep.

But he still needed to find it. Such a dangerous thing couldn't be left to roam freely. Of course, he would find it and hand it over to the Foundation for proper storage.
