Scarlet Descent

The intense firepower suddenly ceased, leaving an oppressive silence in the air. A second later, a mercenary whose leg had been shot let out a blood-curdling scream.

The professional woman in the driver's seat quickly withdrew her hand.

"Pastor Chen..." A nun beside him screamed, seeing his body convulse and then remain still.

He was a mentor-level superhuman with a life system beyond the ordinary. Even in front of the White Ghost, he had withstood enough impact. Now, though injured, he had managed to escape the city alive. With just a little time to recover and expel the White Ghost's lingering power from his wounds, he could regain his strength and return to his peak. But now, he was dead?

Fear gripped their hearts.

"Kill him..." The professional woman and the nun with a gruesome neck wound reacted simultaneously, shouting.

Their response was swift, made in the instant after the opponent fired. By the time they leaped out of the truck, seeking positions to attack, the other mercenaries in the cargo area finally reacted, jumping up and continuing to fire their guns.

"Bang bang bang..."

Bullets poured into the unprotected cargo area, creating a flurry of cotton and debris. The pendant was terrified, its hair standing on end as it fell between the seats.

Only after this barrage did the mercenaries realize that the cargo area was empty.

After firing that astonishing shot, Wei Wei had already jumped out of the jeep and rolled into the nearby weeds.

Half a second later, the two combat nuns and the professional woman reacted, leaping out of the truck and scanning for their opponent. However, they were too slow.

Wei Wei spotted them first and aimed his gun at one of the nuns from less than five meters away.

Bang!

This time, without the crimson power, he fired a regular bullet. It was a green bean fly, but at such close range, it reached the nun's temple in an instant. Just as it was about to pierce her brain, the nun, who had been slashed in the neck but not fatally, and was the leader of the combat group, suddenly reacted. Her eyes flashed with strange, twisted symbols.

An invisible force field erupted, enveloping the other nun.

Unreasonable fantasy.

The bullet that was destined to hit the nun's brain suddenly changed trajectory, deviating by only a few centimeters. Instead of piercing her brain, it grazed her right eye, ripping it apart along with her nose bridge. A gruesome scene unfolded.

Though severely injured, she managed to stay alive. She turned, her remaining eye fixed on Wei Wei, and spoke:

"Bang!"

It was as if a bullet had been fired from her eyes, striking Wei Wei's brain.

Consciousness bullet. People initially infected by the Knowledge Demon become extremely curious and inquisitive, with many strange thoughts filling their minds. Their perception and observation of their surroundings become extremely clear. Those who are severely infected and have mastered the Demon's power in the first stage can awaken abilities like consciousness bullets, weak point insight, and memory sharing. The specific abilities depend on the infected person's will and subtle differences in their thoughts.

In the second stage, powerful abilities like unreasonable fantasy emerge. This ability can momentarily force some objects to change their properties or trajectories. Its effect is brief but terrifying.

Wei Wei's shot aimed at the one-eyed nun's brain, but she used this power to alter the bullet's trajectory.

If she were stronger, she could have turned the bullet into a drop of water.

The nun used unreasonable fantasy, capturing the bullet's trajectory and altering its path. Even so, it wasn't easy; her neck bled profusely as she did this.

Next, the one-eyed nun used the ability of consciousness bullets, turning her thoughts into projectiles that could penetrate an opponent's mind. Wei Wei's first shot missed, and he was about to change positions. However, he suddenly froze. A strange thought appeared in his mind: "Don't move." It was a moment of intense confrontation, and he should have been on high alert, but this thought suddenly emerged, causing him to pause for less than half a second, disrupting the fluidity of his movements.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

The professional woman sprang up, her high heels clicking rapidly on the ground. Her movements were precise and mechanical.

In less than half a second, she rushed behind Wei Wei and swung her dagger towards his neck.

Wei Wei didn't see the blade coming. Most people would instinctively duck, but Wei Wei stood straight, and the dagger sliced into his back instead of his neck.

The armored protective suit under his jacket resisted the blade's force, but the opponent's skill was too refined, and the dagger cut through the flexible armor, slicing into Wei Wei's skin almost to his spine.

The Order Demon system's second state.

Only Order Demon could achieve such speed, covering four to five meters in half a second. Only they could make their daggers exhibit extraordinary sharpness and threat.

"Haha..."

Pain excited Wei Wei, clearing his mind to its limits. Even the blood spreading from his wound seemed to carry a hint of madness.

He quickly turned around, using his elbow to deflect the woman's dagger-wielding arm while aiming a blow at her chin. However, she dodged his elbow strike with incredible agility, moving behind him once more and raising her dagger to stab his spine.

Just then, a gunshot rang out.

The woman's body jerked, and she stared at her abdomen, where a gun barrel had appeared.

Wei Wei held a black handgun, smiling as he turned around. He had a wound in his abdomen, and the gun still smoked.

His elbow strike was a feint; in the moment he turned, he reversed the gun and fired at himself. The powerful green bean fly bullet pierced his own abdomen and protective suit, hitting the Lawful Demon behind him. Because he was slightly taller, the bullet was closer to her heart.

Wei Wei smiled radiantly. No matter what kind of Demon she was, injuries would slow her down. His memory cell activity ability had already begun rapidly healing his wounds.

"Damn it..." The woman looked at Wei Wei's gentle smile, feeling a chill in her heart.

Before she could react to the pain, Wei Wei grabbed her arm and dislocated it with a swift motion. The next moment, he used her as a shield and rushed towards the one-eyed nun.

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"

As he charged, he continuously pulled the trigger, firing bullets into the woman's abdomen.

"This is bad..." The two nuns behind were shocked.

They hadn't expected that, even with their help and the professional woman being a second-state Order Demon, the opponent would gain the upper hand so quickly in close combat. The sound of gunfire filled them with terror.

Symbols flashed in their eyes as they covered themselves with Demonish power. Wei Wei, still firing as he charged forward with the professional woman as a shield, suddenly stopped.

Before him appeared numerous half-transparent iron chains, blocking his path. A dense spiritual power spread out like electromagnetic waves.

Wei Wei's mind went blank, and as he tried to move forward, he saw that the ground was covered in layers of rusty, sharp iron nails. In the dark night, they emitted a chilling glow.

The ground shouldn't have had nails; there was only overgrown grass. But the opponent's unreasonable fantasy ability had transformed the grass into steel nails.

Unreasonable fantasy.

This time, it was even stronger, turning the grass into steel nails. Movement was restricted, and his space was locked down. In the distance, the mercenaries, armed and shouting, charged towards Wei Wei, bullets flying in his direction.

This was different from the Black Goat Family; these were professionally trained superhumans, specifically trained to counter opponents.

"Haha..."

Surrounded by a life-threatening crisis, Wei Wei became excited.

The Knowledge Demon system, the Order Demon system, and five mercenaries with fierce firepower... Each had bizarre and unpredictable abilities.

Unlike his own crimson power, which was only good for killing.

Thinking this, Wei Wei's eyes suddenly filled with fine, dense blood threads. He stretched out his hand and grasped the iron chains. The blood threads began to wildly spread upwards.
