“Captain Ouyang seems a bit angry…”

Ye Feifei was surprised by Captain Ouyang’s expression and quietly clicked her tongue.“Sigh…”Little Lin shook his head: “Because this is a special funeral, some unusual situations will arise.”“For instance, the mysterious organization we just saw has been wronged by Captain Ouyang’s old friend.”“If it were any other time, they wouldn’t dare retaliate and would maintain a facade of friendship.”“But now, they can’t wait to bring all their firepower and take revenge under the guise of this occasion.”“However, Captain Ouyang won’t agree to that.”Little Lin continued: “He’s a man without many principles, but there are limits he won’t let others cross.”Sighing, he turned to Wei Wei: “So, prepare yourself! Later, it might be our team members who are responsible for sending him off.”Captain Ouyang walked through the crowd and entered the building, seemingly to catch up with his old friend. Uncle Gun followed him, while Lucky Sister smiled warmly, carrying a glass of champagne as she mingled with the people from various mysterious organizations. It seemed she was tasked with salvaging Captain Ouyang’s damaged reputation. This was a characteristic of the peripheral city: the peacekeeping team and mysterious organizations weren’t mutually exclusive; they could even be friends. Sometimes, they would cooperate on tasks.Zhu Zai wandered over to the buffet table, examining the food. Little Lin, Wei Wei, and Ye Feifei stood bored at the periphery. Little Lin didn’t want to go inside; it was too conspicuous. Even after just a short while, many eyes had already stolen glances at him, and whispers could be heard:“Is he a man or a woman?”“Does it matter when he’s so handsome?”“Is his chest a bit flat?”“Does it matter when he’s so handsome?”Wei Wei and Ye Feifei didn’t know many people and didn’t go inside either. Wei Wei only recognized the crippled old man, but he had already disappeared. Truly, even in a wheelchair, he could move quickly...As they stood there, enjoying the cold dishes, Wei Wei suddenly noticed something and looked up. He saw a slender, elegant girl with skin so white it seemed to glow, walking past the fountain. Her gaze seemed to intentionally or unintentionally sweep towards them before she entered the building. Wei Wei furrowed his brow, feeling like he had seen her somewhere before. Ye Feifei followed his gaze and spotted the tall girl.Feeling a slight stir in her heart, she whispered: “Little Wei, what kind of girl do you like?”“Hmm?”Wei Wei hesitated, responding instinctively: “I like them fierce, tough, and daring to resist.”“?”Ye Feifei was taken aback, taking a while to respond: “Is your ideal relationship so violent?”“Ah?”Wei Wei finally realized what she was asking and laughed: “You mean girls? Then I like you!”Ye Feifei’s face turned bright red as she almost spilled her orange juice. Little Lin quickly turned to look at them, his eyes burning with gossip.Ye Feifei complained, looking at Wei Wei: “Are you teasing me again?”“No…”Wei Wei spoke sincerely: “I’ve said it before; you’re my goddess.”“Honestly, I’ve never seen anyone as capable and likable as you…”His heartfelt words made Ye Feifei’s face flush even more, and she felt a surge of emotion. Growing up, everyone had feared her... The kid who gave her a love letter in kindergarten had his leg run over by a car the same day... The classmates who had a crush on her in middle school would shiver at the sight of her within a week... When she went home for her father’s birthday, he wore a bulletproof vest before blowing out the candles... But now, she had met someone who dared to express admiration for her so boldly?She felt several concerns: How could she reject him without hurting his feelings? Would Wei Wei even see the next day? And more long-term: Her father had said that if she had children, they would be raised by him; would Wei Wei agree to that?Meanwhile, Little Lin was excitedly thinking about how Captain Ouyang would react to this news: “Is the epic disaster-level weapon about to appear?”Inside the building, Captain Ouyang sat across from the old man, with a large empty space between them. The old man wore a red suit, even placing a red handkerchief in his breast pocket, looking somewhat festive. Everyone else wore white flowers, following the custom for a funeral, but he dressed like a groom. However, his complexion was poor, and the air around him seemed to be affected by some kind of radiation, distorting the shapes of nearby objects. If you looked into his eyes, you could see madness and evil unlike ordinary people.“However, dying like this isn’t so bad,” the old man said, his body radiating demonic energy.“I was worried that you, being so unreliable, wouldn’t be able to protect Scrap Iron City after I’m gone.”“But now, I can finally rest easy.”“You did well by firing twenty-one shots at the Seventh Priesthood’s battle nuns. That was a good warning.”“You scared the hunters of lambs in the city, making them tremble and flee.”“All of this was well done; it’s reassuring.”Each time the old man spoke, Captain Ouyang rubbed his face, looking both embarrassed and restless.“Actually…”He hesitated before responding with some guilt: “I’m not sure if this method of escalating conflicts is really good…”“What’s not good about it?”The old man’s eyes glowed red, his voice turning fierce as he stared at Captain Ouyang: “Those fanatics are madmen.”“They’d rather believe illusions in their minds than reality and living people.”“How can you make them fear you without using strong measures?”As he spoke, dark, armored knights seemed to appear around him, their voices eerily cold:“Or why should you persuade them?”“Has human civilization survived this long by persuasion?”Captain Ouyang sighed and waved his hand: “Let’s not talk about this. What about Sen Sen after you’re gone? Should we let her join us?”“No need,” the old man replied. “I’ve left her enough wealth to live on and people to care for her.”Captain Ouyang expressed concern: “But she’s just a little girl; it’s not safe for her to live alone…”The old man sneered: “Being close to someone like you is even less safe…”He sighed, a smile seeming to appear on his face: “Ouyang, don’t blame me for not warning you. My armor and car will be left to her. If you do anything foolish, the Dark Knight will find you in the middle of the night…”“You’re actually letting her take your place…”Captain Ouyang sighed deeply: “You’re really ruthless, even to your own granddaughter.”The old man laughed loudly and suddenly pulled out a black box from beside him, placing it smoothly in front of Captain Ouyang.“I’m returning this to you.”Captain Ouyang opened the box and was surprised to find rows of needles inside—stabilizing injections he had given the old man earlier. It turned out the old man hadn’t used any of them. Captain Ouyang’s face showed a mix of emotions as he looked up at the old man.“They’re no longer useful to me…”The old man waved his hand, smiling: “Besides, in these last days, I needed the sharpness brought by the activation of my demon powers to assess that thing’s state. And I can tell you, Ouyang, I’ve heard something…”Their voices lowered. Captain Ouyang listened intently, his expression gradually becoming shocked and even terrified: “How is that possible?”“Facing demons, nothing is impossible.”The old man sneered: “Also, I need to warn you, I haven’t heard its voice for some time now.”“This might mean the real trouble is about to descend upon Scrap Iron City.”Captain Ouyang was moved, his facial muscles twitching as he suppressed his emotions.“Stop being sentimental, Ouyang.”The old man took a deep breath, stood up: “Let’s go. My time has come.”As the people inside the building came out, the crowd around them stirred. Wei Wei immediately felt a strong sense of oppression, even his hair standing on end. The crimson power was triggered in an instant—a state that only occurred when facing extreme danger. He quickly turned around and saw Captain Ouyang and the old man in the red suit walking out, maintaining a distance of several meters.In that moment, Wei Wei narrowed his eyes, feeling like he wasn’t looking at a person but a monster. A powerful, oppressive monster.“Mr. Zhou…”Someone in the crowd instinctively tried to greet the old man, but his dangerous aura silenced them.“Ah, good friends, hello…”The old man in the red suit laughed loudly, walking towards the back of the villa. He declared: “I didn’t expect so many people would come to see me off. I know some of you are genuinely worried I’ll degenerate, and others have been waiting for me to die. Today, all your wishes can be fulfilled…”He reached a steel cage at the back of the villa, which seemed to have been prepared in advance and was fixed to the ground. Chains as thick as thighs extended from it, securing it tightly. The old man entered the cage and locked the door himself.“Old friend, I’ll send you off personally.”Captain Ouyang took a deep breath, then stepped forward with a gun featuring an ivory handle.“Ha ha, no need…”The old man in the cage laughed and said: “I’ve already arranged for someone to send me off—Sen Sen.” As his voice echoed, the crowd parted. A tall, pale-skinned woman appeared, carrying two boxes through the crowd. She walked directly towards Wei Wei, nodded at him, and placed the boxes on the ground. One remained in front of her, and the other was left in front of Wei Wei.The boxes opened, revealing a plethora of firearms and ammunition. The crowd’s eyes widened in surprise, all turning to look at Wei Wei.“Me?”Wei Wei was stunned. The old man had arranged for him and this girl to be the ones to send him off?
