Game world survival starts from Resident Evil 2

After the war, in front of Otemon.

Genichirō personally came here to encourage the victorious Ashina Army and delivered an inspiring speech.

After the last war, many people on the Ashina side were pessimistic about the outcome, but this time, the Ashina Army wiped out the vanguard of the inner court at a cost that was almost zero, which greatly enhanced the confidence of the soldiers.

In addition, Genichirō was indeed a master in internal affairs and leading troops. His speech was concise and powerful, revealing firm confidence and determination. Even Li You, who was listening to him, felt a little excited.

It's on fire!

In short, after this, the morale of the Ashina side was greatly improved.

Then, the foot soldiers dispersed and went to deal with post-war affairs under the leadership of the captain, such as cleaning up the battlefield and escorting prisoners.

As for the seven spears led by Onigyobe and Li You, they were called to the watchtower by Genichirō.

Genichirō got straight to the point: "Not enough!"

"The Uefu's troops this time are only the vanguard, not even all of them. Although we have won this time, it is still a fantasy to say that we can defend Ashina."

The seven spears and Li You all looked solemn. As Genichirō said, they have only repelled a tentative attack by the Uefu, and it is still early to win.

However, it is undeniable that this victory has indeed brought a huge boost in morale to the Ashina people and can also defeat the Uefu's spirit.

For the Uefu, this is the second time they have failed to attack Ashina. If the first failure was just a retreat after a trial, and the Uefu army's combat effectiveness was not affected, then this time it is a real loss.

In the Red Army, even the most ordinary soldiers are elites who need long-term training and expensive weapons. Losing eight or ten people will make the Uefu army feel painful, not to mention the hundreds of people who were killed or captured in this battle.

Therefore, the general commander of the inner court must be afraid of how much strength Ashina still hides. Otherwise, even if Ashina is conquered, if the Red Guards suffer too many casualties, he will probably have to commit seppuku to apologize when he returns.

Li You estimated that the general commander of the inner court army should at most think that Red Guard Shigekichi's advance this time might fail, but he never expected that the whole army would be wiped out.

Now he must not be able to sleep for a long time.

Onigyobe also said: "But Genichirō, this is indeed a great victory. The inner court has lost so many elite Red Guards, and they will definitely not attack again in a short time. Take this opportunity to make more adequate preparations."

Genichirō agreed with this. He nodded to Li You obscurely, and Li You also understood that what he meant was "I will find you later", so he took the opportunity to get out and left the watchtower, allowing Genichirō to discuss the military situation with the seven guns quietly.

After leaving the watchtower, Li You prepared to go to the Tiger's Mouth Stairs to see the situation on Edge's side.

Because Taidaozu received a secret letter earlier, Li You and his team learned that while Chibei Shigekichi was advancing, reinforcements from the Lone Shadow Group were also coming.

So, Wolf, Owl, Edge, Snake Eye Baiqiu and others were left in the city area to deal with the Lone Shadow Group that came later.

Li You came to the door and found a foot soldier general waiting for him. His clothes were very familiar to Li You. They were the same as the first elite monster in the game, the leader Yamauchi Shigenori.

Of course, this brother is definitely not Yamauchi Shigenori, who was chopped by Wolf a long time ago. He is also the only elite character who died tragically at the hands of Wolf after Li You came to this world, just like in the original game...

Li You said, I'm a step late, I'm sorry, you rest in peace.

The general outside the door saluted Li You respectfully: "Master Li You, we have brought the person you are looking for and are waiting."

Li You raised his eyebrows: "Oh?"

"Bring her to see me."

"Yes."

Li You came to the warhorse he had ridden before, patted it gently, and then took a lantern from its back.

The item obtained in Biochemical IV, the Redemption Lantern, can apply group BUFF. Li You naturally did not forget this thing. In the battle just now, he lit it all the way, and the crimson flames kept flickering.

As for the effect... Li You was not particularly sure, because he did not consume much mental power to light the lamp, so it should not have a very prominent effect.

It happened that I was free now, so I had to try the specific ability of this thing.

Li You put away the lantern, and the general had already brought the person he wanted.

It was an ordinary-looking old woman wearing a maid's uniform and a headscarf. She walked unsteadily, and her eyes were narrowed into a slit, and I didn't know if she could see.

The general reported to Li You: "We searched the city according to your request and found the only maid who met the requirements. She is her."

"She had been on duty in this watchtower until she was sent back to the city before the war."

Li You nodded: "You did a good job, go down."

The general bowed and left.

Li You looked at the old woman, who looked up slightly and seemed to be looking at him.

Li You was not looking for this woman out of boredom. This old maid was a character who "took the script" in the game.

From the beginning to the end of the game, she stayed in the watchtower opposite the Otemon Gate and talked to the player twice in total.

The first time was after the battle with Onigyobe, she said "Master Onigyobe has finally turned into a corpse", and reminded Wolf to think about "where will the resentment after death gather".

As for the second time, it was the end of the game, after the invasion of the inner court. At this time, the Buddha Sculptor had turned into a resentful ghost, and was madly slaughtering the Red Guards at the battlefield of Otemon.

After killing the resentful ghost, the old maid will still be here and ask Wolf if he knows the true identity of the resentful ghost. At the same time, she will also tell Wolf that the resentful ghost is dead and the resentment has nowhere to hide, but even so, Wolf does not need to bear these for anyone.

From this, it can be seen that in the game, this maid can be regarded as one of the people who understands Shura, the resentful ghost, and the so-called resentment after death the most.

So Li You wants to find her, because in addition to Ashina, he also wants to save a key person.

Wolf's savior, the Buddha Sculptor.

According to the game setting, the Buddhist carving master, the gorilla, almost turned into Shura. At that time, it was all thanks to Yixin who cut off his left arm to prevent him from completely losing control.

Although Yixin prevented him from turning into Shura, after that, the Buddhist carving master's body underwent a change, like a whirlpool, constantly attracting the resentment of the dead to gather on his body.

Therefore, the Buddhist carving master gave up his name and ninja identity from then on, and stayed in the abandoned temple with peace of mind, carving Buddha all day long in order to resolve the fire in his heart.

But unfortunately, such a move only delayed the time when the fire of resentment broke out.

Finally, after many years, the inner court army invaded again, and the dead on the battlefield piled up like a mountain. The fire of resentment could no longer be contained. The Buddhist carving master finally couldn't control himself, was swallowed by the fire, and walked to the battlefield.

When the wolf successfully killed him after a fierce battle, he would say "Thank you" to the wolf.

The man who was surrounded by the fire of resentment for many years and could not die was finally freed.

This was the original ending of the Buddhist carving master.

But Li You wanted to change his ending.

He looked at the old maid in front of him and said, "I want to ask you a question..."

The old maid suddenly said, "... It's useless."

Li You: "...!"

"What did you say?"

The old maid shook her head and said in a calm tone, "Guest from a distant land, you have done a lot in this Ashina Castle, and I am willing to believe that you have the hope of saving this Ashina."

"But even if I am old, I can't give you a satisfactory answer to what you want to ask. You must know that after a person dies, resentment wanders in the world and must go somewhere.

"It is impossible to bear and eliminate such resentment with the strength of one person alone, and it is useless even if there is another one. "

Li You frowned.

This old woman really got the script, so let's not talk about it. But she said, can't the Buddha sculptor be saved no matter what?

And she also said "It's the same if you add one more", she has seen that Li You wants to ask, can the wolf also bear the fire of resentment to reduce the pressure on the Buddha sculptor?

Li You's face was not very good, he asked two more questions, and the old maid still gave the same answer, so Li You didn't ask any more questions, called the general of the foot soldier, and asked him to take the old maid away. Go back.

He frowned and thought for a while, then decided to put this matter aside and go to the Tiger's Mouth Stairs.

Let's ask Yingma and Yixin when we have a chance.

Li You called Yuzu and asked him to take him to the Tiger's Mouth Stairs quickly.

...

When Li You arrived in front of the Tiger's Mouth Stairs, Aiji, Wolf, Snake Eyes Baiqiu, General Yamauchi Norizen and others were discussing something around a row of Lone Shadows and the bodies of Chibei Ranba in the Tiger's Mouth Stairs Pass.

Li You then came over: "What are you talking about?"

Aiji looked over: "Li You!"

"There is bad news. When we ambushed this group of Lone Shadows just now, there was a mistake, and the leader of the Lone Shadows sent a secret letter for warning. Now, the inner court should have known that we control a leader of the Lone Shadows."

Li You was slightly startled: "What's going on?"

Wolf on the side spoke: "... This is my responsibility. I was originally responsible for intercepting the fleeing Lone Shadows with Lord Edge. "

"The leader of the Lone Shadows fled in front of me at that time. I could have stopped him, but he said something to me that made me... hesitate for a moment, so I asked him to send a secret letter."

Li You was a little surprised. What did this Lone Shadow say that made Wolf hesitate?

Wolf paused, then said: "...He said that I helped them attack the Hirata Residence three years ago, and now I have turned against them. I am a hateful bat."

Looking at Wolf's slightly changing expression, Li You understood. Wolf was not entangled in the other party scolding him, but because this Lone Shadow said that he assisted them in the attack on the Hirata Residence.

Wolf lost his memory of three years ago, so it is normal to be affected by such news suddenly.

As for what happened specifically... Li You roughly guessed it.

So he said: "The secret letter is fine, but the inner court received a warning. This time the vanguard troops were completely wiped out. As long as the general of the inner court army is not particularly stupid, he will definitely guess that there is a traitor among the Lone Shadow Clan, so it will not affect it. "

"As for what that Lone Shadow Clan said, you don't have to take it to heart. The facts are not as he said."

Li You's first reaction was to call the infected owl over and let him explain to the wolf, but then he thought, anyway, he had to let the wolf go back to the map three years ago to take a look, so it might as well be now.

Li You knew that Lang had Jiulang's guardian bell, and Xiao's guardian bell was in his hand at this time.

So Li You said: "It's just right, Lang, you come with me, let's go to the abandoned Buddhist temple."

Lang was a little puzzled, but still nodded in agreement. Li You then took Yuzu and Aiji all the way to the Buddhist temple.

In the Buddhist temple, the sound of "clicking" wood chiseling was faintly heard, and it was obvious that the Buddhist sculptor was still tirelessly carving the Buddha statue.

Outside the Buddhist temple, Fujioka of the intelligence house was sitting in a corner taking a nap, and the immortal Hanbei stood quietly next to the merit box farther away, just as usual.

Li You did not rush to greet them, but took Lang and Aiji into the Buddhist temple, and Yuzu stayed outside.

But after entering the door, they were somewhat surprised to find that Yingma was here, sitting next to the Buddhist sculptor, watching quietly.

This time, the Buddhist sculptor was no longer indifferent. He heard the footsteps and turned around immediately.

"…It's you. It seems that the attack from the inner court has been repelled again."

Li You nodded: "Mr. Buddha Sculptor, are you okay?"

The Buddha Sculptor glanced at him and said: "…I'm just sitting here carving Buddhas, and I'm not fighting. What can happen?"

Li You sighed: "So, why do you always like to hide things from others?"

"Then I'll ask directly, can you still suppress the fire of resentment?"

Buddha Sculptor, Ying Ma: "…!?"

The Buddha Sculptor finally raised his head and said in surprise: "…How did you know?"

He also glanced at Ying Ma, but Ying Ma was also surprised and indicated to the Buddha Sculptor that he didn't tell him.

Li You smiled: "Don't underestimate my intelligence network!"

"Every time there is a war, the dead fill the field, and the fire of resentment will gather in large quantities, and in the end, most of it is borne by you, right?"

Buddha Sculptor: "..."

Wolf: "...!"

He looked at Li You: "What are you talking about...?"

Li You explained the whole thing to him, and after listening, Wolf looked at the Buddha Sculptor in surprise.

"So... have you been bearing the resentment of the dead? This kind of thing..."

The Buddha Sculptor snorted and interrupted him: "... This is the price I have to bear for failing to transform into Shura, so you don't have to worry about it. I can still hold on, so you can do your own thing and save Ashina."

"... Oh, I heard the sound of the bell, are you here to worship the guardian bell? If so, put it in front of the kind-looking Buddha statue over there. In this way, your long-lost memories will be evoked."

Wolf wanted to ask more questions, but Yingma on the side signaled him to stop talking, so Wolf gave up.

He looked at the Buddha sculptor, came to the Buddha statue in silence, knelt down, put down the bell, and put his hands together.

Then, the wolf's head drooped.

Li You was still very interested in his current state, because in the game, there have been different opinions about the wolf's experience three years ago, whether it was a memory or a time travel, and Li You was also curious about the answer.

At present, the wolf has not disappeared, but this alone is not enough to explain the problem.

Li You stared at the wolf for a few more times, then turned around and planned to continue chatting with the Buddha sculptor.

As for the Buddha sculptor's unhappy expression, Li You of course ignored it directly.

He said, "Master Buddha Sculptor..."

But at this moment, Aiji, who had been waiting quietly on the side, suddenly jumped up and shouted, "Wait!" Li You, Ying Ma and the Buddha Sculptor were all stunned and looked at her, while Aiji rushed to Li You and asked with excitement:

"Li You! Where is your bell, the bell of the owl ninja?"

After catching the owl, the important props on him naturally went into Li You's backpack, including his guardian bell and the evergreen cherry blossom branch.

Looking at Aiji's reaction, Li You was a little puzzled, but he still took out the guardian bell. Aiji immediately grabbed the bell, and then pulled Li You to the Buddha statue.

Li You was stunned: "Wait, you...?"

But Aiji's hand holding the owl's guardian bell had already touched the wolf's shoulder!

Li You instantly felt a thick fog flashing in front of his eyes, and he was surrounded by darkness. When he opened his eyes again, he was already standing in an open space surrounded by bamboo forests, and beside him was Aiji who was looking around.

At this moment, the sky was dark and moonless, and only a few remaining stars and black smoke rising not far away could be seen.

Edge looked at everything around him and said excitedly: "I knew it!"

Li You: "?"

He had recognized that this was the Hirata residence three years ago. In other words, he and Edge also followed Wolf through time!

Li You was a little confused. He was indeed curious whether Wolf was traveling through time and space or recalling memories, but he really didn't expect to try it himself.

Should we say that this is a world with extraordinary powers?

But why can he and Edge travel through time?

It shouldn't be possible to rely on Owl's guardian bell alone.

At this moment, the system prompt also rang.

[Ding! ]

[It is detected that you have entered the special hidden map of the wolf world: Wolf's memory world, and a special task is now issued for you! ]

[Task content: Help Wolf regain his past memories, and Wolf cannot experience death. ]

[Task requirements: Most functions of the system will be suspended, no loss if failed, and you can re-enter within a limited time. ]

[Task reward: unknown. ]

Li You: OK.

Although it was a bit complicated, he found out after a little research that it was actually similar to the model of a fragmented world.

Backpacks are prohibited, special props are prohibited, and companion summoning is prohibited (Aggie is already here, it doesn't matter). Basically, you can only fight hard.

Li You currently has no weapons at hand, only the katana given by Genichiro, the original gun, and the hand cannon X, and there are no extra bullets.

There were a bunch of various bits and pieces hanging on his body, such as a medicine gourd. At the same time, Li You tried it and found that the soul pendant could be used, which was a good thing.

Aiji is still the same, with a pair of broken steel claws as weapons, wearing a robe of light, and nothing else.

Li You didn't panic, he had already seen clearly where he was.

This is the map of Hirata's mansion, the bamboo forest under the secret passage. In the game, there are two monk soldiers from Mishan Temple, one black and one white. After defeating them, they will drop a big money bag that will make the wolf smile.

Li You thought for a while and asked Aiji: "How do you know that we can follow him through time?"

Ai Ji replied: "This... the explanation is a bit complicated. To make a long story short, it is because I have seen the memory of the lonely shadow and the owl before, especially the lonely shadow, his memory fragments have a particularly great impact on me."

"Then when the wolf was worshiping the bell just now, I felt it. The memory in my mind was fluctuating, as if there was an attraction, and it seemed that it wanted to bring me here.

"But the power was a bit weak, and then I remembered that you still had the owl's bell in your hand, so I just tried it, and it worked!"

After hearing this, Li You felt incredible.

With the memories of three years ago and the power of the guardian bell, can I get here?

It seems that...in a world with extraordinary power, many things cannot be interpreted according to the ideas he had in the past.

In addition, according to the system description and Aggie's explanation, it seems that at least here, they did not travel to the past, but entered the wolf's memory world.

So it seems that the function of the system is limited, which becomes reasonable. After all, he is not really here at all.

After clearing up his doubts, Li You planned to leave the bamboo forest and find the wolf. After all, he was the core of the mission.

So he waved to Aggie and led her outside.

As soon as they walked along the path to the exit of the open space, which was the secret passage of Hirata's mansion, Li You and Aiji heard a conversation in front of them.

The two immediately took cover and began to observe.

At the exit of the secret passage, a leader of the Lone Shadows was talking to two monk soldiers and a group of bandits. After listening to this, Li You probably understood that this commander was Tai Tozu. He was assigning the monk soldiers and bandits the task of intercepting the Hirata family members who escaped from the secret passage.

Li You and Ai Ji looked at each other and nodded.

Aiji then took out the broken steel claw hanging from his waist and put it on his hand. Li You also slowly drew out his katana.

The two of them were about to start a fight, but suddenly there was a pause! On the low eaves on the other side of the secret passage, a figure suddenly jumped down and rushed towards the Gu Ying Tai Sword Foot!

He jumped on Tachiashi's body, and the knife in his hand stabbed into Tachiashi's neck accurately!

A large amount of blood spurted out from Tai Daozu's neck, and a hoarse cry of "Hehe" came from his throat, but he was unable to struggle anymore.

Li You was secretly observing: Good guy, I killed an elite with two tubes of health in one go. The wolf is definitely on!

Wolf, isn't it good to practice like this?

Okay, just kidding. Seeing that the wolf had already dealt with Taidaozu, and the two monk soldiers from COS Black and White and the bandits were surprised, they were about to attack the wolves. Li You no longer hesitated and jumped out together with Aiji!

"Pfft——"

"Shua——"

The two of them attacked at the same time, attacking the black and white monk soldiers from behind. Li You pierced the black-robed monk's chest with his knife, and Ai Ji used all his strength to strike down with his claw, almost cutting the white-robed monk's neck into pieces.

After Renren killed all the Taishou of Lone Shadow, Wolf, who originally planned to retreat first and then look for an opportunity, saw the two of them and couldn't help but be stunned: "How could you two..."

Li You pulled out his sword, causing the black monk soldier to fall to the ground, and then raised his gun and pointed it at the bandits: "If you have any questions, we'll talk to you later!"

The wolf also reacted, nodded slightly, raised the wedge ball and rushed towards the bandits.

Soon, the three of them cleared away the bandits, and then the wolf looked at the two of them and asked again: "How did you two get here?"

Li You replied: "It's complicated to say, but in short you can understand that we came in by relying on the owl's guardian bell."

The wolf nodded thoughtfully, and then said: "In that case, I wonder if I can ask you two for help? This should be the Hirata mansion three years ago, which is where Lord Qingzi was fostered."

"Three years ago, thieves attacked this place, and my memory began to disappear from then on. If my expectations are correct, I should be able to retrieve my memory here!"

Naturally, Li You would not refuse: "No problem, come with me, I will take you back to your memory."

Wolf:"?"

Did you make a mistake?

Is this my memory?

Li You was not polite and pulled the wolf back.

The wolf was already strange. After he followed Li You for a while, he couldn't help but say:

"Master Li You, I think we should go towards the main house where Master Jiulang is now..."

Li You said, "I know! But don't worry, let's go find something."

Wolf:"…?"

So, Wolf followed Li You all the way back, watching him first take out a dark axe from a Buddhist shrine, then ruthlessly kill all the bandits in the outer house, and pick up a rusty iron cylinder from a fire.

Finally, Wolf was led by Li You to the three-story tower on the top of the mountain from a very difficult path, and used a righteous group fight tactic to kill the lonely shadow group and obtain the mist crow feather in the tower.

Until then, Wolf finally lived in Bengbu.

He endured and endured, but still couldn't help asking: "Master Li You, who are you...?"

"Even I can't remember the way here..."

Li You smiled: "This is all information bought from others."

He said, and put away the mist crow feather.

He has not yet found a way to use these props obtained in this world. After all, the use of ninja tools is a profound knowledge even for ninjas.

But no matter what, since he has come to the map three years ago that he thought he could not reach, he must not let go of these props.

Li You patted the package and said, "These are all ninja tools. I will keep them first. When we leave, I will ask the Buddhist carving master how to use them."

Wolf also nodded.

"Okay, let's go to the main house of Hirata now."

The three of them immediately rushed to the main house surrounded by fire.

Li You brought Wolf and Aggie all the way up from Zhulinpo, but he did not see the "seriously injured" owl here, only the leader of the Lone Shadow Clan, Gunzuzhi Masahiro.

Gunzuzhi Masahiro: "Oh? This is different from what I heard. But forget it, kill you, and the plan can go as expected."

As he said that, he took out the whistle and blew it, summoning three ninja dogs, and then rushed over with them!

...

Li You flipped over Gunzuzhi Masahiro's body, and then smiled: "Found it."

He found an old key from Masahiro's collar.

Wolf: "This is..."

Li You said: "The key to the secret Buddhist temple, Jiulang should be there."

Wolf is now accustomed to Li You's "intelligence network". Hearing this, he just twitched his mouth and said: "...Okay, let's go there quickly."

Li You, Edge and Wolf, a ninja, two non-humans with stealth talents, the three of them went together and easily dealt with the bandits and the lonely shadows around the main house pool, and then they went out at the same time to deal with the python Chongzang and the lonely shadows in front of the main house.

Finally, the three entered the depths of the main house of the Hirata family.

Li You stepped forward and opened the door of the Buddhist temple. After pushing it open, he saw Jiulang, who was younger than in reality, standing in the middle of the Buddhist temple in white clothes.

Wolf: "...Jiulang!"

He was about to rush out, but Li You had sharp eyes and had already seen the woman sitting on the Buddha statue at the end, with a looming figure, wearing a ninja costume, but with white hair and obvious wrinkles on her face.

That was Wolf's ninjutsu teacher, one of Isshin's comrades, the master of illusion, Lady Butterfly.

In the game, when Wolf entered the Hirata mansion three years ago through the young master's guardian bell, he encountered Lady Butterfly in the Buddhist temple.

After a conflict and killing her, Wolf recalled what happened three years ago.

And if he came here through Owl's guardian bell, then the person guarding here would be Owl in his prime.

In fact, Li You has discovered that the Hirata family three years ago is not any route in the game, but is closer to the combination of the two.

So from this point of view, Owl should be nearby now, waiting for Wolf and Lady Butterfly to decide life and death, and then come out to backstab the remaining one.

After Li You's reminder, Wolf also noticed Lady Butterfly. So he walked up and wanted to talk to her.

"Madame Butterfly... Why are you here?"

But Lady Butterfly immediately jumped off the Buddha statue, ignored Wolf's words, and began to talk to herself.

"Long time no see, son of Owl."

As she said that, she took out a kunai.

"Well, let's get started, kid."

"...Who knows. Losing yourself will kill you, kid!"

Listening to these monologue-like conversations, Li You immediately realized something: "Wolf! What you saw should be the scene from three years ago. There is no way to communicate with her now!"

Wolf also reacted and clenched the wedge pill, while Lady Butterfly had already rushed over!

She approached quickly, wielding the kunai in her hand that was as long as a dagger, and slashed down!

Wolf's eyes were accurate, and he raised his knife to block!

"Dang--!!"

But Lady Butterfly did not retreat at all, and then followed with a set of combined attacks of kunai and legs, as if she wanted to suppress Wolf to death.

But at this time, Lady Butterfly's eyes suddenly moved, and she jumped back to avoid Li You's stabbing from the side, and fell on a thin line in the air that looked like a spider silk.

Li You was surprised: "Oh? Obviously, we can't talk, but we can interact perfectly during the battle."

Madam Butterfly frowned slightly, but still did not speak. And Aiji had somehow reached the Buddha statue, intending to attack her from behind when she was not prepared.

But when she jumped down and swung her claws at Lady Butterfly, the butterfly immediately dodged again and hid on another silk thread, and Aiji returned empty-handed.

Li You shortened the Primordial Spear, drew out the samurai sword, and said, "I wanted to complain a long time ago, are you a butterfly or a spider?"

Wolf: "... Lord Li You?"

Li You shook his head and raised his knife: "Go ahead, Wolf! This is your memory, everything has already happened and cannot be changed. Only by killing her can you get back your past memories."

Wolf did not hesitate, holding the wedge pill, and rushed towards Madame Butterfly!
