Game world survival starts from Resident Evil 2

The Demonic Sword Order has a new headquarters.

This headquarters is built near the sea. Compared with the old headquarters, Wo Dao Yuan, which is now the residence of the Knights of the Order, the buildings here are taller, more solemn, and more spacious.

The main building of the headquarters is made of white marble. It is shaped like a holy monument and points straight to the sky. It is surrounded by a large number of small buildings. The center of the holy monument-shaped main building is also engraved with a huge mark of the Demon Sword Order.

No matter from which angle you look at it, this headquarters can demonstrate the power and majesty of the Demon Sword Order, and it also exudes a solemn atmosphere. Li You was also deeply impressed by this building.

Of course, he hasn't arrived here yet, and their group is still outside the forest.

However, in the afternoon, as two lights, one gold and one white, fell, Credo had already arrived at the headquarters with another knight of the order.

At this time, he was standing in a large bedroom on the top floor of the headquarters.

The bedroom itself is very spacious, but the decoration is not luxurious, just ordinary clergy decoration.

In the center of the room, there is a stone bed and a stone curtain covering it. The stone bed and the curtains were all engraved with the prayers of the Demonic Sword Order, while Credo stood by respectfully.

The person he was waiting for was naturally the old man sleeping on the stone bed - Pope Sancordos.

At this time, the Pope was lying quietly on the bed, with his eyes closed and no breath, looking very peaceful. However, his face was not covered with the white cloth used by the deceased, and even the bullet holes between his eyebrows had disappeared.

Credo kept his bowed posture and stood still, as if waiting for something to happen.

suddenly!

Pope Sancordos opened his eyes suddenly, his eyes were blood red!

His body trembled violently and twisted, his chest pushed up unconsciously, and his whole body twisted into an extremely weird posture. On his face, black blood vessels spread out, and his expression was ferocious, making him seem as if he was about to mutate.

But Credo just stayed still, waiting quietly.

The Pope's struggle lasted for a short time, and then it subsided on its own, and he returned to his previous peaceful appearance. But what was different this time was that a strong breath of life emanated from his old body.

After a while, the Pope slowly opened his eyes.

He slowly turned his head and glanced at the person waiting next to him: "It's Credo..."

Credo lowered his head: "His Majesty the Pope, you are awake."

The Pope stood up slightly and raised his hand to press his forehead, as if he was recalling what happened before. Soon, the expression on his face became violently distorted, and he said in a sinister voice: "...I didn't expect that it was Dante who came to us first. He really can cause trouble for others!"

However, his ferocious expression immediately disappeared, and he returned to his peaceful appearance, sighing: "If I hadn't been favored by God and passed the ascension ceremony, I would have returned to the kingdom of God by now."

Credo said: "My people are already tracking him, and we will definitely find him as quickly as possible."

At this time, there was a steady sound of footsteps behind Credo, and a man who was also wearing the white robe of a sect leader and holding a notepad in his hand came out.

The man has dark brown skin, long, almost black hair that has been combed hastily, and wears a pair of monocles over his left eye. He was obviously tall and had a broad face, but he was hunched over, looking timid, and slowly came to Credo's side.

Seeing that the Pope had woken up, his eyes lit up: "Ah, Your Majesty! You are awake! You look... great!"

The Pope also looked at him and forced a smile: "Agnus, thank you for your hard work."

"No, no, no, nothing!" The strange man named Agnus is the head of the Technical Bureau of the Demon Sword Order. He is in charge of all the order's research on the power of demons, as well as related developments. .

Agnus seemed to want to get closer to the Pope, but when he raised his hand, he bumped into Credo. Credo put a cold face on the spot, waved his hand, snorted, and distanced himself from Agnus, showing no trace of his disgust.

Agnus also looked at him now, and his face became ugly: "K, K, Credo! You asked that little boy named Nero to chase Dante, didn't you?"

Credo was unmoved: "What's the problem?"

Agnus suddenly became furious: "Q-What a big problem! What if he-he discovers my research facilities underground in the castle!"

Compared to the previous conversation with Li You, Credo changed his words at this moment: "The most important thing now is to catch Dante, I don't care about so much anymore!"

"You, you, you, you...!!"

Agnus was angered by Credo's businesslike appearance. He pointed at him "you" for a long time, but couldn't figure out why.

The Pope, who was still watching indifferently on the bed, finally spoke: "Credo."

"Please give me your orders." Credo lowered his head.

"Gather everyone together, I have to make them feel at ease."

"clear."

After receiving the order, Credo turned around and left without even looking at Agnus, which made him very angry again.

"Agnaus."

"Yes! What are your orders?" Agnus stood at attention, but he was still hunched over.

"In any case, Dante has arrived in the City of Destiny, and the magic sword Sparta is also in our hands. We are only one step away from the final implementation of the plan." The Pope spoke slowly.

"So, I'd like to put some final touches on 'The Savior'. Can you do that?"

"Yes! Of course, no problem!" Agnas was overjoyed.

"Then it's up to you. This is something only you can do."

After hearing this, Agnus was so moved that he almost fell to the ground and cried with joy. At that time, he hurried out of the house.

The Pope sat on the stone bed and looked at the direction the two left, with a faint smile on his face.

…

In another direction opposite to the headquarters of the Order, Mount Lamina.

Fortuna Castle was built on the top of this mountain. It is said that during the Middle Ages, Sparta, who was the lord of the City of Destiny, lived in this castle.

This is also the place that Li You applied to visit before, but unfortunately he waited for a few days and was not approved in the end.

At this time, the demon hunter Dante had just sneaked into the castle and was wandering around inside.

Demons occasionally appear here, but they are obviously not enough to kill Dante with one sword, and they cannot even create a tense atmosphere.

On the contrary, Dante acted like a tourist, looking at this and touching that, and he almost had to carve "I came here" on the portrait of the pope on the second floor of the castle hall.

It's not that he has nothing to do. His partner, Tracy, has already infiltrated the Demon Sword Order in advance and discovered something during the investigation, so he called him here to meet.

However, Tracy only told him the agreed time, but not the location, so Dante could only wander around looking for someone.

"I wonder if she would miss me if I said I was late because I got lost..."

Dante muttered as he continued to fumble. He was indeed somewhat interested in everything about this castle.

"Did dad really live here? It doesn't seem like it..."

At this time, a sharp female voice sounded: "If you are looking for the magic weapon left by Sparta, then give up. Even if he left something behind, the Order cannot put them on display outside. "

Dante raised his eyebrows: "Yo? You actually showed up on your own initiative? I thought you were going to continue playing hide-and-seek with me."

With that said, Dante turned around, but saw no one. Tracy seemed not to show up.

"I originally planned to play a little hide-and-seek. Who made someone come so late? Now the Pope is gathering cadres." "Oh, that, haha..." Dante said haha, " Something happened on the way, so we were delayed. By the way, the Pope is alive and kicking again so soon? "

"Who knows? It will be clear when I see him." Tracy said secretly, "Anyway, don't waste time, the information about 'that'..."

"Ah, I know." Dante said with a confident expression, "The Yama Sword in the hands of the cult is broken, right? They can't use it."

"Huh?" Tracey's voice revealed a trace of doubt, "How did you know?"

Dante chuckled twice: "Occasionally, there are adventures! I met a strange guy on the way here and chatted with him for a few words. This is what he told me."

"...Really? It seems that you are not just wasting your time by being late for so long." Trish's tone softened slightly, "So where is it?"

"It's in the laboratory underground in this castle, right?" Dante's smile continued.

"Now that you know this, your new friend is really powerful?" Tracey's voice showed obvious surprise this time, "Then didn't I sneak into the cult for nothing?"

"Hahaha, how could it be?" Dante said with a smile, "You still have to control the movements of the cult. Besides, I can't believe him without your confirmation."

"...Okay, stop being naughty. In short, that's it. The sect cannot use the power of the Yan Demon Sword. So don't rush to recover it for the time being. Next, you should go to the sect headquarters, where it is more important." Tracy said The voice was still gentle, "I'm going there too. From here, it's fastest to go through the forest behind."

"Okay, okay, you have the final say." Dante made a perfunctory salute, "Then I'm going to rush over there...but it won't affect me if I check here first?"

"...It's up to you, but I don't think there will be anything related to Sparta here."

Dante just smiled: "Maybe there will be something that only I can recognize."

…

Close to the edge of Destiny City is a relatively low-altitude hill called Firm Hill. This area used to be an iron mine, so the interior of the hill was dug directly, and the tunnel could extend all the way to La Mina Mountain.

If you go this way, you might encounter fewer demons... That's what Nero originally thought.

But looking at the dozens of demons that fell under the Crimson Queen, he still regretted it.

"...If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have gone this way to the mine!"

By the way, why are there so many demons in this apparently inaccessible mine? ? It’s almost like a lair!

Nero cursed in his mind and kept attacking with his hands, killing the demons that stood in his way.

Since there was no one else here at all, he could use the power of the Demon Hand as he pleased. But even so, because there were too many demons, he spent some time rescuing people while passing through the residential area on the edge of town, so it was already night when he arrived at the mine.

"Hey... I don't know if Ji Liye and Li You have arrived at the headquarters, and what happened to Credo..."

Continuing forward, Nero's Scarlet Queen, Azure Rose and Devil's Hand took turns to clear out the demons that were gathered together, and then encountered the problem that the elevator in the mine was damaged due to disrepair.

"You are all against me, right!"

Nero was also a little annoyed. Along the way, he encountered a lot of messy mechanical door locks, most of which were old and broken, causing him a lot of trouble.

Fortunately, because of this, he understood one of the uses of the Devil's Hand that Li You had told him before.

Standing at the bottom of the deep mine, Nero looked up and locked onto a certain iron rod extending from the middle of the mine.

He raised his right hand, activated his magic power, and the Devil's Hand suddenly stretched upward!

The shadow-condensed Devil's Hand grabbed the iron rod and pulled Nero's body upward. After crossing the height of the iron rod, Nero used the same trick again, using the Devil's Hand to grab a higher obstacle and quickly move upward again!

In this way, relying on the convenience of the demon hand to grab through the air, Nero successfully climbed to the top of the mine and walked out.

"... Hmm?"

As soon as he walked out of the mine, he realized something was wrong.

This is an open and flat area in the mountains. There are scattered wooden houses built on the open space in the distance, which were left by the miners who worked here at the beginning.

However, at this moment, behind the wooden houses, there is a huge black stone tablet standing there. Its shape is at least 80% similar to the holy tablet in the city, but it is much smaller.

On the surface of the stone tablet, the dark golden lines flashed an indescribable light. Just as Nero stared at it for a while, several scarecrow demons emerged from the strange spots of light on the stone tablet.

Nero frowned slightly: "Is that the reason for the appearance of so many demons?"

If this is true, then he can't just leave like this, he must first deal with the problem of this stone tablet.

Some citizens followed the Knights of the Order and Li You to the headquarters for refuge, but they were only a minority after all. The vast majority of citizens still hid in their own homes, relying on high doors and deep walls to resist demons.

After all, demons are more likely to appear in Fortuna than in other places in the world, and the citizens have long had experience.

The reason why no one was seen on the street on the day Li You first came to this world was because everyone had received the notice of the Order and hid back home for refuge.

But although the residential buildings in Fortuna were built relatively solidly, they still could not resist the large number of demons, not to mention that there were demons that could ignore physical obstacles.

So Nero could not let the stone tablet continue to call the demons, and he had to destroy it, or at least stop its function.

"Bang--!!"

The scarecrow demon that came out of the stone tablet was about to run away, and a gunshot attracted their attention. Nero pulled out the Azure Rose and shot down one of them, then carried the Scarlet Queen and taunted, "Want to dance?"

So, all the scarecrows jumped up and rushed towards Nero!

"Buzz! Buzz! Buzz--!!"

"Swish!"

The battle was short, and Nero's Scarlet Queen simply accelerated and slashed, killing all the lower-level demons who couldn't see the difference in strength. The Scarlet Queen drew a smooth arc in the air and was carried back to Nero's shoulders.

For Nero now, a few scarecrows can't be a hindrance at all.

"Okay, next is that board... Ugh!!"

Just as Nero was thinking about how to deal with the stone tablet, his right hand suddenly felt a sharp pain!

"This feels like... a demon!?"

Then, a figure fell from nowhere!

"Boom--"

The smoke and dust dissipated, Li You raised his head and smiled: "Hey, Nero."

Nero: "???"

"You are a demon?"

Li You: "?"

What are you talking about, silly kid?

Fortunately, the guy who could answer their doubts appeared soon after.

On the black stone slab behind, a huge pit suddenly appeared as if it was swallowed by lava. Then, a ball of blazing flames rushed out of it, condensed into a solid in mid-air, and slammed heavily on the open space between the hills!

"Boom--!"

As the firelight faded slightly, the giant shadow that rushed out of the stone tablet also revealed its true face.

It was a huge demon with a beast-like body and a human-shaped upper body. Its head looked like a bull, and at the same time it looked a bit like a lion, with blazing flames around it!

At this moment, it raised its head and looked into the distance.

"... I haven't seen you for two thousand years, the human world."
