Scarlet Descent-Chapter 43 - : The Extraordinary Team

Uncle Gun took a deep breath, and his pupils suddenly transformed into a peculiar shape, reflecting a triangular pattern with a complete circle inside.

The next moment, his body exuded an unusual aura.

Though he stood loosely on the streetlight beam, his posture was meticulously adjusted to perfection.

It was as if this stance had been refined to an extreme, giving the impression that this was how one should stand.

Like a trainee from a strict studio, even a smile would be rigorously managed.

If he were just protecting himself, he could leave.

After all, the Soul‑Devouring Banshee’s power was hard to counter, but harming the Order System was almost impossible.

However, since the captain ordered him to stop the demon projections from destroying the city, he decided to retaliate.

“Little granddaughter…”

Uncle Gun assumed a perfectly standardized stance on the streetlight, his shotgun slowly aiming forward.

He focused on one girl, which meant focusing on all of them.

Then he frowned, his eyes filled with disgust: “Why aren’t your pigtails the same length on both sides?”

This wasn’t a joke; he genuinely detested the asymmetry, like seeing shoes of different colors.

The next moment, he fired his shotgun.

The attack wasn’t just a bullet; it was a conceptual power that spread over a certain area, dispersing force like numerous arrows targeting every “error” in his line of sight, determined to eliminate them.

“Whoosh…”

The scattered demon projections were blown into chaos, unable to coalesce.

One blast cleared the area, even sweeping away the radiating demon energy field.

Like falling dominoes, even the projections that Wei Wei couldn’t effectively kill were no match for Uncle Gun.

“Everyone, I’m Uncle Gun.”

“I’ll be roaming the Seventh District, eliminating all Soul‑Devouring Banshee projections in my sight!”

“Please assist me when convenient.”

Uncle Gun retracted his shotgun and spoke into the communicator, his voice becoming extremely regular and strict.

He twisted his body and leaped onto a nearby building, disappearing from view.

…

…

“Ask for directions?”

In the dead of night, Ye Feifei encountered a little girl asking for directions.

Others might have reacted differently, but Ye Feifei was eager to help.

However, before she could respond, another little girl appeared, asking the same question in the same tone and expression:

“Sister, can I ask you for directions?”

“…”

Her heart skipped a beat as she saw a third, fourth, fifth…

In the distance, more little girls carrying pumpkin lanterns appeared, surrounding her.

Demon projections would randomly appear in an area unless specifically arranged.

Each projection would instinctively seek a spiritual entity unless someone with a strong demon energy field was nearby, drawing the projections’ attention.

It was like being in a flood; the broader the surface, the stronger the impact…

Ye Feifei’s energy field wasn’t strong, but she seemed to have an invisible vortex around her.

It drew the projections that should have been scattered, gathering them around her.

Facing over a dozen identical little girls, Ye Feifei couldn’t respond.

She blinked, suddenly threw her ice cream, and shouted as she ran backward: “Ghost!”

The alley behind her was the only escape route.

But Ye Feifei tripped on the curb just as she turned around.

Many slender arms stretched out from behind, grabbing at her head, but missed.

The little girls bent down again, reaching for the back of her head.

“Ow…”

Just then, Lucky’s blue sports car roared up, casting a blinding light.

She was still in the car when she performed a drift, turning the vehicle around and looking out the window to see Ye Feifei surrounded by the little girls.

She shook her head, remarking: “Captain Ouyang’s level only attracted three projections, but you drew over a dozen… You’re truly a born jinx…”

“…”

Ye Feifei was surrounded, and even Uncle Gun might not be able to rescue her.

But Lucky simply narrowed her eyes, her hand extending from the still-moving car window, holding a small, elegant handgun that looked more like a decoration.

Her pupils showed a white mist as she whispered: “Lucky Bullet.”

“Bang!”

She fired the bullet without aiming, not even looking where it would go.

Even if it hit, the bullet wouldn’t harm the demon projections, but it might kill Ye Feifei.

Yet Lucky fired without hesitation.

The bullet, once it left the gun, seemed to gain freedom, flying carelessly with the force of the gunpowder.

It flew to a building several dozen meters away from Ye Feifei, hitting the marble base and ricocheting off it, changing direction by 180 degrees.

It landed on a nearby utility pole’s transformer.

The next moment, the transformer exploded.

Three or four sparking wires flew out like fireworks, intertwining.

Like a burst of electricity, they swept past Ye Feifei’s body.

“Hum…”

The row of little girls in front of Ye Feifei flickered uncertainly.

The high‑voltage current disrupted the demon power field, creating a temporary gap.

The gap was directly in front of Lucky’s car.

Lucky didn’t even glance over; she calmly retracted her handgun and stopped the car, opening the other door.

“Get in.”

“…”

Once Ye Feifei stumbled into the car, Lucky floored it, starting the car before the little girls could catch up.

She picked up the communicator: “I’ve got Feifei. I’ll drive her around the district. Gun Uncle, report your position so I can bring you some gifts.”

…

…

Lucky was truly amazing…

In another direction, Wei Wei was sincerely admiring her.

He believed it was Lucky’s lucky underwear that made his plan so successful.

He dispelled the death aura, charging forward through endless illusions.

The Soul‑Devouring Banshee’s projections made it hard for him to distinguish the path.

He simply floored the accelerator, driving recklessly along the blurry road.

In a way, it was like driving blind.

But he managed to drive from the Seventh District to the Ninth without damaging the car, which made him grateful for the magical underwear.

The Jeep roared, performing a tailspin as it charged through the demonic shadows into another street.

Ahead, the twisted illusions grew fainter, nearing disappearance.

It was like approaching the calm center of a storm at sea.

Wei Wei’s lips curled into a smile as he gripped the steering wheel with one hand and reached for his gun handle with the other.

The Jeep sped closer to the hospital without slowing down.

The engine roared, ready to crash into the building.

“Vroom…”

But just then, a motorcycle sound echoed, and a bike leaped from the third floor of a nearby building.

Captain Ouyang, clad in a silver windbreaker, descended like a meteor, surrounded by the reflections of shattered glass.

He crashed into the hospital entrance with a loud bang.

The speed was so high that the motorcycle almost flew off.

“Screech…”

Wei Wei was startled, slamming on the brakes.

He nearly crashed into Captain Ouyang’s motorcycle.

His crazed expression vanished, and he jumped out of the car, rushing to salute the captain.

“Captain…”

“…”

Captain Ouyang took a deep breath, smoothed his hair, and turned to look at Wei Wei with surprise.

Despite the intense impact, his hair, thick with hair wax, didn’t budge, though there seemed to be a cheap lipstick stain on his face.

“How did you end up here?”

His expression was somewhat annoyed: “I didn’t tell you to change your mission objective midway.”

“…”

“I…”

Wei Wei looked embarrassed, hurrying to explain: “You didn’t give me a task earlier, so I came over.”

“Didn’t I give you a task?”

Captain Ouyang thought for a moment; he might have only assigned tasks to the veteran members in his haste.

“You, as a new member, shouldn’t rush into such a dangerous place… What if something happens?”

“…”

“Captain…”

Wei Wei smiled, pulling out the gun he had hidden behind him: “Let’s get to work first!”

“You see, I’m already here…”
