Game world survival starts from Resident Evil 2

In the narrow passage at the deepest part of the abandoned dungeon.

Li You, Lang, and Genichirō stood in front of a low collapsed stone tower, looking at the inscription on the tower.

With the help of the dim light from the bonfire stand next to it, Li You could see the words on the stone tower clearly.

"The wild souls of the Ashina people who were executed for the crime of stealing the country are suppressed here."

Listening to the faint roars and groans coming from afar, it is obvious that the end of the passage is the place where the vengeful spirits and the seven-faced warriors are.

According to Sekiro's worldview, people exist with souls, and after death, if the negative part of the soul is too strong, it will turn into vengeful spirits. The headless and seven-faced warriors in the game are all born from this.

And the orthodox way to deal with them is to support and worship them - that is, the work of the memorial gang.

The soul-suppressing grave outside Ashina Castle and the support tower in the dungeon were built for this purpose.

Unfortunately, due to the constant war, the tomb outside the city has been deserted for years, and the offering tower in the dungeon has collapsed, and it can no longer suppress the ghosts of the wild souls.

That's why there are so many headless and seven-faced warriors, scattered in various uninhabited corners.

Genichirō also heard the whistling sound coming from the end of the passage, and his face became serious: "This sound... could it be...?"

Wolf also said: "... It's a ghost. When I was trapped at the bottom of the well, I occasionally heard that sound."

Li You directly answered: "It's a seven-faced warrior."

Wolf and Genichirō both looked over immediately.

Genichirō said thoughtfully, "I didn't expect that the worship tower here would collapse, causing the vengeful spirit to wreak havoc. Li You, did you call us here to deal with the vengeful spirit?"

Li You thought for a moment and said, "To be precise, I just want to ask if you know how to deal with that guy. This passage can connect the bottom of Ashina and the water diversion tower. If it can be opened, it will be much more convenient."

Genichirō thought for a moment and said, "If you use the specially made divine power paper and attach it to your body, you can make ordinary attacks effective against the vengeful spirit, or my Thunder of Ba should also work."

"But it is very dangerous to fight with that kind of guy. Their attacks will destroy your mind and make people die. If it is not necessary, I don't recommend fighting it."

Li You absorbed the information in Genichirō's words and nodded.

"Okay, let's ignore it for now and go back to the dungeon first."

The dungeon at this moment is also different from before.

When Daoshun was there, the dungeon was full of giant crickets, and there were also a large number of prisoners who were suffering from the water-changing experiment and wanted to die but could not.

The dungeon was extremely dark all year round, and there were few fire stands and candles, highlighting the dirty, messy and poor environment.

Now, since Li You has turned this place into a night demon's lair and has to go in and out frequently, he certainly doesn't want to make the environment so dirty.

So when Li You was free before, he asked the night demons to act as workers, carefully cleaned the dungeon, and lit enough bonfire racks, so that there was finally enough light in the room.

At the same time, the night demons also cleaned up the cells and replanned each single room so that the dungeon could play its original role.

At this time, Xiao sat quietly in the cell closest to the exit.

All his weapons were taken away, and his feathered coat was also stripped off and changed into prison clothes.

Similarly, his hands and feet were tied tightly, and he used the biomass handcuffs provided by Yuzu, which were sturdy and durable. Because Li You really didn't trust Xiao with the hemp rope.

When Li You and the other two came to the prison, Xiao immediately looked over.

"Oh, you three, you came to visit an old man like me? Do you want to appreciate the miserable appearance of a loser?"

Genichirō snorted, turned around and left without saying anything. He just came to confirm the situation with Li You.

Lang looked at Xiao, then at Li You, and said, "Master Li You, you..."

He paused before finishing his words: "... Please try to be as straightforward as possible."

Li You smiled and waved his hand: "Don't worry, I will."

Lang then said goodbye and left.

The owl in the cell felt worse: "What do you want to do to me!?"

Li You said:

"Owl, I don't want to ask you stupid questions like why you betrayed Ashina. I'm here to tell you that you have to be a double agent and provide us with intelligence from the inner court to lure them into a trap."

Owl was stunned after hearing this and looked at Li You: "Are you crazy? Even if I agree, how can you guarantee that I will really obey your orders?"

Li You showed a kind smile: "Don't worry, I am very experienced in persuading others."

He clapped his hands, and Yuzu and Aggie, who had been guarding the entrance to the dungeon, came in.

Li You opened the cell door and asked Yuzu to pull Owl out and took him to the edge of the collapse on the first floor of the dungeon.

Owl was locked by Yuzu and held in his hand. He couldn't look back at all, so he couldn't see the night demon's nest behind him.

He struggled to ask: "What are you going to do?"

Li You stood in front of him, looked at him, and suddenly a light bulb went off in his head, and he said:

"Owl, humans are creatures with limited abilities."

Owl was stunned: "Huh?"

Li You continued: "In your not-so-short life, I wonder if you realize that the more people play tricks, the more likely they are to lose everything because of unexpected difficulties."

"Unless you can become a creature that surpasses humans."

Xiao: "???"

"What do you mean, what are you talking about!?"

Li You suddenly raised his short cloak, thrust out his right hand that had been behind his back, and slapped the owl with his palm!

He said loudly at the same time:

"Stop being a human being, Owl!!!"

The owl couldn't avoid it at all. It was hit by Li You's palm. After screaming, the whole person fell towards the cave!

With a muffled "plop" sound, he felt as if he had fallen into the water, but the water surrounding him was bitingly cold and seemed to be eroding away from his body along his limbs.

Under the immersion in the cold liquid, Xiao quickly lost consciousness.

Before he fell into a deep sleep, he heard Li You say the last words to him.

"...you will be more than human."

Then came complete darkness.

On the first floor of the dungeon, Li You breathed a sigh of relief as he watched Xiao Xiao being completely submerged in the Night Demon Transformation Pool.

It's not that he's nervous, it's just that... he has long wanted to try saying this line in Japanese!

So cool!

However, Aggie on the side looked puzzled: "...What kind of weird line is that?"

Li You coughed: "It's a long story, I'll tell you later. Come on, let's go out."

Outside the dungeon, Tai Tozu, who had been transformed into a night demon, was waiting with eight other ordinary night demons wearing the costumes of the Yoyos.

The Gu Ying Zong Tai Swordsman did not die happily in the end, but became a sentient night demon, and is now Ai Ji's dependent.

He retains his wisdom and most of his memory. When necessary, he can make his own decisions, use his talent to sense night demons, and control his team of night demons.

Such a team of night demon ninjas, if used properly, can become a sharp knife that penetrates the heart of the inner palace.

Also, there are owls.

Li You doesn't plan to completely transform him into a night demon for the time being, because Xiao is already tall and has an extraordinary physique, and is also known as a "giant ninja".

Although this name is a bit strange, it is indeed appropriate. The figure of Owl is no less than that of Onigatabu, and he can face Yuzu face to face.

Therefore, if he were to become a night demon, he would most likely have a special mutation that would be too conspicuous and difficult to conceal.

Fortunately, Aiji, the new Night Demon Queen, is here. With Li You's permission, she can control the core of the lair and intervene in Xiao's transformation process.

Therefore, Xiao will only be deeply infected for the time being and will not mutate, but this does not affect Aiji's control over him, which is similar to the infected villagers in Harlan World.

This solves the problem perfectly.

And Aiji's psychological burden is much lighter this time. After all, he is new to the world once and familiar to him the second time...

A little further away from the entrance to the dungeon, there are five relatively intact corpses of the Solitary Shadows. They are all ordinary Solitary Shadows wearing blue and white clothing.

Li You gave an order at this time, and five night demons took off their Yingyingzong clothes and put on the Guyingzhong's clothes.

The ordinary Lone Shadows are nothing more than expendable items. Only the seventeen leaders and their relatives are the most important members.

Therefore, if the Night Demons pretend to be ordinary Lone Shadows, and they are led by Tai Daozu, they will not be exposed so easily.

Yes, Li You's next plan is to let Tai Daozu and Xiao take the Night Demons back to contact the team from the inner government this time, look for opportunities, cooperate internally and externally, and capture them all.

Of course, if possible, we should try to capture as many important figures as possible, so as to facilitate the entrapment of the subsequent internal forces.

Now, just wait for the owl.

Because it was not completely transformed, the infection was very fast. Li You only waited for a while before Xiao walked out of the dungeon.

He had put on his ninja uniform again, put the knife on his back, came to Li You and Ai Ji, knelt down on one knee wordlessly, and lowered his head.

Li You knew that in this state, Xiao's self-awareness had not been wiped out, but he was simply unable to control himself under the suppression of Aiji's consciousness belonging to the Night Demon Queen.

In other words, he can only look at "himself" and act according to orders.

This is not a kind of torture.

Li You clapped his hands and said to the Night Demon team: "Then, let's follow our previous plan and capture as many important figures in the inner government alive as possible. If that doesn't work, report back immediately and kill them on the spot. They must not be allowed to pass the information back.”

Xiao Xiao and Tai Tozu nodded to express their understanding.

Immediately, the two of them took the five disguised night demons and rushed towards the tiger's mouth staircase.

After they left, the Weiming soldiers and monks who were responsible for guarding the entrance to the dungeon dared to come closer again, timidly bowed to Li Xing, and then continued to guard the door.

Li You, along with Ai Ji and Yu Zi, was also preparing to follow them to the Tiger's Mouth Stairs.

Aiji's current mental link ability is still relatively weak. Even if he telepathically communicates with the Night Demon, he can only communicate within a spatial distance of 500 meters. Unless he communicates with the Night Demon, he can only communicate further.

So in order to receive the news as soon as possible, they had to go near the front line.

But just after taking two steps, Li You suddenly paused. On the roadside not far ahead, stood a tall white-haired figure, wearing a Tengu costume, staring in the direction where the Night Demon team left.

Li You signaled Youzi and Ai Ji to wait for him, then he leaned over and asked:

"Old man, why did you come here?"

Yixin turned around, looked at him, and said:

"...can forcibly transform living people into their own dependents, and can even control their thoughts."

"What a terrifying ability, don't you think? Li You."

To Yixin's surprise, Li You nodded in agreement: "That's true."

Ishin stared into his eyes and asked: "In that case, do you have the confidence to use it correctly if you have this power?"

Li You smiled and said, "This question is too difficult to answer, Mr. Yixin."

"You should know better than anyone else that people will change. I can say now that I will not abuse it, but no one can say what will happen in the future.

"I'm not a saint. I can't guarantee that I won't act emotionally. I can only try to restrain my behavior as much as possible."

Isshin looked at him again and then said: "...When the inner government's attack is repelled, come and have a sword duel with me!"

"Let me use your sword to confirm your heart!"

Li You looked at him for a moment and nodded solemnly: "Okay."

Only then did the vaguely intimidating aura around Yixin dissipate, and he waved his hand: "Then go ahead! I will do as you said and go back to recuperate."

Li You nodded, greeted Yuzi and Aiji, and set off again.

Eima, who had been waiting quietly on the other side, walked to Isshin and said: "Master Isshin, Master Li You..."

Isshin said: "I know, Eima, I believe in him, not to mention he saved my life. I don't think he will become a threat to us."

Yingma was a little confused: "If that's the case, then why did you..."

Yixin seemed to remember something and sighed: "...I can see that he will go further in the future, and even surpass the limitations of this world."

"But precisely because of this, I don't want him to get lost in the temptation of power."

Yingma also understood: "...I see."

"But I see that Mr. Li You also has reliable companions around him, and they are all good people. With them supporting each other, things like that will definitely not happen."

Isshin nodded: "I hope I'm just unfounded. Let's go back to the castle tower! As a great tengu, I can't stay in one place for too long!"

Eima bowed her head and said yes.

…

On the other side, the outskirts of the city.

The tallest building in this area is occupied by the inner government and serves as a temporary command post.

The inner army came with only a small force, the vanguard among the vanguard.

But apparently, they are not very keen on concealing their whereabouts.

Everyone knows that the inner government's attack will happen sooner or later, and they will definitely win.

Even if they failed to capture the Tiger's Mouth Staircase in the previous skirmishes, the inner government firmly believed that once the army arrived, a mere small pass would be within their grasp.

Fortunately, the commanders of the red troops and the commanders of the Lone Shadows were good at shooting and had a sense of crisis, so the basic concealment and protection were in place.

At this moment, he was standing on the top floor of the watchtower, looking at the secret letter sent back by Jishou and Taishouzu using special carrier pigeons.

The letter said that they had found out the situation in Ashina Castle, and now Tachibana was on his way back.

At the same time, Ashina Ninja Owl seemed to have some plans of his own, so Tai Tozu found an excuse and brought him back.

Seeing this, Zheng's eyes flashed.

As expected, that owl guy has other plans. But it's a pity that a mere country ninja, no matter how ambitious he is, can only serve as a dog for the inner government.

Masako burned the secret letter and waited for Tai Tozu's return.

And soon, the whistle used by the leaders of the Lone Shadows to communicate came from outside the building.

Masachang immediately opened the window, and Tai Daozu led five lonely shadows and Xiao Xiao in one after another.

Zheng Chang glanced at the five lonely figures and felt that their figures were a bit unfamiliar. But he didn't remember all the members of the Lone Shadows, so he didn't think much about it and asked Tai Tozu:

"How is the situation in Ashina Castle? Tell me in detail."

Tachizu nodded, pretending to take something out of his arms, but what he took out was a strange glass ball!

Taking advantage of the moment of daze, Tai Daozu slammed the glass ball to the ground!

"Click——"

The yellow-brown mist spread instantly and enveloped Zheng Chang's entire body.

Masachang: "!?"

Of course his first reaction was to run, but when he wanted to take out his left foot, he put his right hand behind his back; when he wanted to lift his right foot, he slapped himself with his backhand.

Zheng Chang was confused.

Then, the surrounding "Lone Shadows" rushed up one after another, and while Zheng Chang was still in chaos, they pinned him down!

After a while.

The door to the room was opened, and Xiao poked his head out and waved to a red soldier standing guard not far away.

"...Sir, sir, I would like to invite your commander to come over."

The Chi Beijun was a little confused, but then he saw Tachizu Tachibana standing by the door, as well as several lonely shadows inside the door, so he felt that he understood that Master Masako must have something to discuss with the commander.

He immediately went downstairs and called the commander.

The commander didn't doubt his presence, so he came to the room alone...

Soon, Ai Ji, who was guarding the Hukou Stair Pass, received telepathy from Tai Dao Zu.

The plan worked.

There was joy on her face and she immediately told Li You beside her.

After hearing this, Li You also nodded.

"Then, let's trick some of the vanguard troops of the inner court into coming in and then close the door and beat the dog."

Edge understood and sent a command to Taidaoshi through telepathy.

After receiving the command, Taidaoshi used the names and seals of the commander of the red-armored army and conveyed new military information to the large forces of the inner court stationed at the foot of the mountain.

...

At the foot of the mountain, the headquarters of the inner court's red-armored army.

After years of fighting, the inner court is about to unify the country, and its momentum sweeping the land is unstoppable.

At present, in the north, there is only one country, Ashina, which has not fallen into the control of the inner court.

Because the name of the sword saint Ashina Isshin is too loud, the inner court has not attacked for a long time, but it has also prepared for a full-scale war.

The land at the foot of the mountain in Ashina is the edge of the original border, and it was ruled by the long-standing Gaogao family in the past.

However, not long ago, the Gaogao family was attacked by thieves and suffered heavy losses, similar to the Hirata family three years ago.

Even the head of the Takamine family, Takamine Hirachinka, who once followed Isshin Ashina in launching a bloody war to steal the country and was almost listed as one of the seven spears of Ashina, and his eldest son, died in the attack of thieves.

So far, the Takamine family, which has ruled this land since ancient times, has been in name only.

When the Imperial Household Army arrived, this land fell into their hands without any resistance. Ashina also lost one of the most important grain-producing areas, and the domestic situation became worse.

The Imperial Household Army was stationed at the foot of the mountain just to wait for one thing.

The news of Isshin Ashina's death.

At this moment, in the main camp of the Red Army camp, the Red Army's general, a middle-aged man wearing red armor and a solemn face, was sitting in the middle seat, looking at the secret letter in his hand.

Another leader of the Lone Shadow Clan in black knelt at the seat and waited quietly.

Apart from him, there was only a strong man wearing a blue cape and bare upper body sitting in the tent, without any military advisors or important officials.

And the strong man was also very casual. He didn't even look at the leader of the Lone Shadow Clan, and was drinking from a bowl of wine.

The general quickly finished reading the secret letter and said: "Ashina Ichixin is seriously ill and is on his deathbed. Ashina lacks necessary resources and is in chaos."

"In addition, the garrison commander of the Otemon Gate, Oniwa Gyobe Masataka, has not recovered from the injuries in the last battle, and the Ashina army is unable to replenish its manpower.

"No matter from which angle you look at it, now is the best time to attack!

"It's a pity... Isshin Ashina hasn't died yet..."

The leader of the Lone Shadows didn't say anything, but the big man next to him wiped the wine stains from the corners of his mouth and said:

"Why be so careful? Didn't the secret letter say that even if Isshin Ashina is not dead, he is no longer able to rise again, so he is no longer a threat!"

"In my opinion, we should march now!"

He said this bluntly, but the general commander was not annoyed, just shook his head and said: "Shigekichi, you have not experienced the bloody war of stealing the country 20 years ago, and you don't know how terrifying Isshin Ashina is. Even Lord Tamura died at his hands, and other people have almost no resistance in front of him."

"Besides, after the last battle, there was also an order from the Imperial Palace that Ashina is determined not to give up, and they must not march forward again."

Shigekichi tutted his lips and said, "In that case, send out the vanguard, that's fine! While Ashina hasn't recovered yet, give them another hard blow!"

"I'm willing to lead the team!"

The general looked at him, and finally sighed: "Well, then Shigekichi, take the vanguard troops and go to the battlefield of Otemon to explore!"

Akabe Shigekichi stood up immediately after hearing this, put the wine bowl in his hand on the table, and said with a heroic smile: "I will definitely fulfill the mission!"

After saying that, he turned around and left.

The general was still not at ease, so he wrote another secret letter and handed it to the leader of the Lone Shadow in front of him.

"Go and pass it to Masanaga."

The leader of the Lone Shadow took the order and left.

Soon, the vanguard troops led by Akabe Shigekichi and the ninja team led by the Lone Shadow set out one after another and rushed to Ashina Castle on the mountain.

I just found out that the author's level has been upgraded to level 2, that's great
