📢 New Novel Launch!

Wei Wei was indeed someone who listened to Captain Ouyang. When told not to investigate further, he didn’t. The main reason, however, was that he could no longer hear the heartbeat of fear.

Initially, he thought about negotiating with Captain Ouyang, suggesting that he could continue hunting the night stalkers, just without leaving any survivors. Captain Ouyang looked at him with a mixture of surprise and amusement; he had never heard such a request before. Yet, he agreed.However, both Wei Wei’s hope and Captain Ouyang’s concern soon proved pointless. By the next evening, Wei Wei could hardly hear any fear at all. The reason was simple: a demon with a goat’s face, wielding a crimson scythe, was roaming the streets of Scrap Iron City. It was harvesting lives, breaking up couples, and corrupting children. The media was already criticizing it for ruining the classic cartoon image. For others, this demon was just a terrifying urban legend, but for the peripheral hunters, who were already on edge and aware of the recent victims’ identities and purposes, it was a more direct and frightening warning.They didn’t know how many fellow hunters were left. It wasn’t just the life sacrifice hunters that had nearly disappeared; many superhumans who had been hiding in Scrap Iron City for other reasons fled to other cities overnight.“Have all mysterious organizations become so spineless?”Wei Wei couldn’t help but think: “Actually, I might not have been able to catch all of you anyway…”“Why don’t you have any hope for luck?”Another reflection on using his “Gaze of Justice” ability was that fanatical believers or those who received mysterious orders were supposedly fearless, willing to do anything. But now, Wei Wei began to doubt this; perhaps they weren’t fearless, just willing to sacrifice others. The fear they felt was good. As a result, when Scrap Iron City was filled with rumors and discussions, even spreading to other cities, Wei Wei’s life became unexpectedly peaceful, forced into a dull, half-vacation life.He even volunteered to continue patrolling the streets, but Captain Ouyang firmly refused. The consequences of his previous actions were too severe... Now, Captain Ouyang worried that if Wei Wei went out again, he might bring back the Divine Bell of the Gods to the base.Days passed without much gain, and Wei Wei was starting to feel his bullets were getting rusty. Then, one morning, he unexpectedly received a call from the base: “Little Wei, come to the team immediately.”“Remember to bring your gun!”Wei Wei was shocked. Being called urgently and specifically told to bring his gun... This must be a big deal! Excited, he grabbed a handful of bullets, including his Green Head Ghosts and Red Angel, before rushing downstairs and jumping into his jeep. He sped towards the base, which was marked with a sign for the Environmental Protection Station.Upon arrival, he was surprised to see the whole team present—Captain Ouyang, Lucky Sister, Uncle Gun, Little Lin, Zhu Zai, and Ye Feifei. However, they didn’t have the tense atmosphere of preparing for a mission; instead, they looked somber, each wearing a small white flower on their chest.Lucky Sister handed Wei Wei a suit in a bag: “Change into this, and we’ll leave together.”Wei Wei looked at the black suit, seemingly chosen specifically for him, with some surprise.“We’re going to a funeral,” Lucky Sister explained, glancing at Captain Ouyang with a sigh.Though curious, Wei Wei understood the team’s mood and didn’t ask further. He took the suit, went upstairs to change, holstered his gun at his waist, and quickly came back down. Ye Feifei was wearing a black mini-dress, sitting on the pool table waiting for him. Seeing Wei Wei, her eyes lit up: “I didn’t expect Little Wei Brother to look so handsome in a suit…”Wei Wei mused: “Lucky Sister really knows how to pick clothes…”“...except when buying underwear.”The group consisted of seven people and four cars. Captain Ouyang rode his cross-bike, with Uncle Gun sitting in the sidecar, holding a shotgun. Lucky Sister drove her blue sports car, initially planning to take Ye Feifei, but Ye Feifei happily jumped into Wei Wei’s jeep instead. Lucky Sister smiled and didn’t say anything, not wanting to ride with Little Lin because she felt her only advantage over him was being a woman. So, she called over Zhu Zai, who squeezed into the passenger seat. Little Lin looked around and reluctantly got into the backseat of Wei Wei’s jeep.As soon as the car started moving, Ye Feifei couldn’t help but ask: “Whose funeral are we attending, and why do we need to bring guns?”“It’s Captain’s old friend,” Little Lin replied with a sigh. “We received an invitation to his funeral.”“Is it the War Demon?”Wei Wei was surprised: “Has he died?”“No,” Little Lin shook his head. “This time, we’re going to send him to his death.”“Ah?”Ye Feifei was taken aback, and even Wei Wei felt a bit surprised.“Are you curious?”Little Lin looked at them from the backseat. Both nodded eagerly.Little Lin sighed: “Captain’s friend has finally reached his limit.”“He feels he’s about to degenerate, so he invited us to see him off.”Ye Feifei listened, becoming increasingly uneasy, and suddenly realized: “We’re going to kill him?”“Not kill,” Little Lin corrected. “It’s a funeral, or rather, sending him off.”“For someone at his stage with demon powers, if they lose control, it’s terrifying.”“Especially since he’s a War Demon, one of the strongest in the Twelve Demon system. He could destroy half of Scrap Iron City.”“And he can’t choose to commit suicide. If he does, it means he’s willing to give up his life, which could cause his demon powers to surge beyond limits, creating a consciousness that takes over his body and turns him into a degenerated War monster.”“So, we have to do it this way.”“Meet with old friends, accept everyone’s condolences, and then have his friends send him off.”A complex emotion rose in Ye Feifei’s heart; she could understand but found it hard to accept. Meanwhile, Wei Wei, driving at the front, felt a slight stir in his heart: “This way of dying is cool…”“And I think if I issued such an invitation, many old friends would come…”The group followed Captain Ouyang’s cross-bike to a mountain on the west side of the city. They drove up a small path to a villa, where the surrounding residences seemed to have been evacuated, leaving only a large, empty space. The yard was filled with people from various mysterious organizations in Scrap Iron City, all dressed in somber attire with white flowers on their chests.Wei Wei spotted many impressive figures, indicating that Captain Ouyang’s friend had a good reputation. It was rare for these organizations to gather, yet they had all come to see him off. As his gaze swept through the crowd, he even saw the crippled old man being pushed in a wheelchair. Wei Wei’s eyes lit up, wanting to go greet him, but the old man quickly turned away and hurried off.“?”Wei Wei felt a bit annoyed; the old man was really impolite, despite being an old hand...Captain Ouyang, accompanied by Uncle Gun, walked towards the crowd, which immediately turned to look at him with smiles. Despite being the captain of the peacekeepers, he was clearly a popular figure. Leaders of the mysterious organizations didn’t fear him; some even approached him with laughter. One joked, “I don’t know if you have enough bullets; I brought all my stock!”Captain Ouyang stopped, looked at the man, and suddenly smiled. Uncle Gun understood the cue and stepped forward, slamming the butt of his shotgun into the man’s jaw. The man grunted and fell to the ground. Before he could cry out in pain, Uncle Gun quickly stepped forward, pinning him to the ground with his foot and aiming the shotgun at his face. The crowd scattered, their expressions fearful. Those who had been about to approach Captain Ouyang with jokes now retreated.“Is it because I’ve been too lenient?”Captain Ouyang walked over to the man, looking at him calmly without kneeling down: “Have you lost all respect for me?”“My principle has always been that as long as you don’t cause trouble in Scrap Iron City, we can coexist peacefully, even be friends and play mahjong together. But this doesn’t mean you can plot against my friends in front of me…”“I don’t know how many guns you’ve brought, but I suggest you hide them all.”“My friend will be sent off by my people. You are only here to mourn sincerely.”“Or else, I’ll arrange for you to accompany him on his journey!”The crowd fell silent, each person retreating with caution and reverence. Captain Ouyang walked through the crowd, his aura strong, like a formidable figure in Scrap Iron City.
