Game world survival starts from Resident Evil 2

"...What we have to do now is enter the spiral tower."

After returning to the second floor of the species depository, Melina spoke to Li You and his party.

"However, the Spiral Tower is sealed by the shadow. Now no one can reach it except Michaela, so we need to burn the sealing tree."

"Burn the tree?" Li You frowned slightly. Hearing Melina say this word, he was a little sensitive.

Melina had no special reaction and was very calm: "Yes. The seal of the spiral tower is maintained by the sealing tree. As long as the sealing tree is burned, it can be unlocked and ordinary people can enter the tower. "

"Sealing tree?" Li You noticed the difference in details and confirmed his previous guess: "So the sealing tree and the shadow tree are really not the same thing?"

"No." Melina shook her head slightly, "The Seal Tree exists in the ancient ruins of Laufu in the north of the Shadow Land. It is a small tree with special power."

Li You relaxed now. As he expected, he was not going to burn the Shadow Tree.

Thinking about it, after all, the game itself can ignite the golden tree. It is only achieved by Melina transforming into fire and stimulating the ashes of the flames in the cauldron of fire on the top of the giant mountain. Finally, the protagonist releases the destined death.

As for the Shadow Tree, based on what we have seen so far, I am afraid that it may be two sides of the Golden Tree, or it may have been one and the same. Therefore, unless the Shadow Land has the same conditions, Li You doesn't think they can burn the Shadow Tree.

What's more, even if there are things like flame cauldrons in the Shadow Land, they still need "fire" - people who can see the virtual image of flames to throw themselves into the flames to achieve it.

To put it simply, Melina is used as a lighter to make the flame rise.

So if it really comes to that point, not to mention Melina, even Li You himself will not agree.

Fortunately, looking at it now, just like what Leda said before, all she needs to do is get Messermo's flame.

Okay okay okay.

"...However, Leda's understanding of this matter is wrong. What is needed to burn the seal tree is not a powerful flame, but fire."

Just as Li You felt relieved, Melina's supplementary explanation made him stunned on the spot.

"...What did you say?"

Melina did not waver at all: "To burn the sealed tree, what is needed is someone who can see the virtual image of the flame as the kindling."

Li You: "......"

Isn’t this the same as the original body?

Why do you still need fire? ?

"Huh? Wait?" Li You just wanted to complain, but suddenly remembered something and asked: "Can it be said that in this land of shadows, can you find another... can you find someone who can see the virtual image of flames?"

Burning the sealing tree in the Land of Shadows also requires fire, but after all, there is only one Melina, so you can't burn the main body and the DLC once, right? So if you think about it this way, the DLC should also have characters who can be used as lighters.

Sure enough, Melina nodded slowly: "Yes. The Lord of Shadow City, Mersemer... has the ability to see virtual images of flames."

Hearing this, Li You's first reaction was to breathe a sigh of relief. It seemed that although Leda and the others made a mistake in the process, the result was right - they were looking for Messermo anyway.

It was also at this moment of relaxation that he didn't notice the slight difference in Melina's expression and voice, but he remembered another thing.

"Wait, let's put it this way... Our goal with Leda and the others is to enter the Spiral Tower, right?"

Li You's expression moved slightly and he said: "Both of us and they have the goal of catching up with Mikaela, but the goal after that is different. At this stage, the goal of both of us is Messermo."

"Then if we can be one step ahead of them, defeat Mersemer, and get the fire, we will have a certain initiative, and follow-up actions will be more convenient. On the other hand, if they get the fire, we may be one step behind. , falling behind everywhere.

"...In that case, there really is no time to hesitate."

Li You began to think about the course of action. If he thought about it according to common sense, it would definitely be to seize the time to kill Messermo and steal the fire, but this may not be that easy to achieve.

After all, Mersemer is said to be one of the oldest demigods. He is powerful, even more powerful than Shuangyue. He is definitely not an enemy that can be easily dealt with.

Not to mention that Kara and Leda are still watching eagerly. Even if Li You can find Messermo first, there is no guarantee that he will be defeated before Leda and the others arrive. There may be more trouble by then. .

"What better to do...who is there!"

One second, Li You was still thinking deeply, but the next second, he suddenly tightened his grip on the spiral sword, pulled out the hand cannon and pointed it at the corner of the second floor. His companions also looked over.

The corner was quiet for a moment, and then a figure came out:

"...Please don't be nervous, it's me."

The person who emerged from the corner was veteran Ampach.

Li You was a little surprised: "Is it you?" But he did not put down his weapon.

Even though he was surrounded by Li You and his party, Ampah still maintained his grace and replied: "It's been a long time since I sent my greetings. I didn't expect to see you all here."

"Why are you here?" Li You asked.

Ampach replied: "You all should already know that Mikaela-sama's big rune was broken. Thanks to this, the unpleasant hazy feeling also dissipated... It reminded me of the unbearable past. "

"In the past, I challenged Lord Mikaela in order to relieve the charm of my lord, Lord Monger. However, it failed. Instead, I was deeply attracted by him, and finally came here.

"Looking back now, I just feel that Ms. Michaela is so terrible. I really want to escape from this place right away...but it's not possible yet.

"...Mr. Meng was knocked down by someone in the Dynasty Temple, and then we found signs that his body had been transported away. Now it seems that the body was transported to Mikaela."

Ampah's explanation was a bit long. Li You frowned a little, but he couldn't help being a little surprised when he heard this: "Did Michaela bring Monger's body here?"

Ampach nodded: "What do they want to do with Master Meng's body? It's really very concerning."

A lot of guesses suddenly popped up in Li You's mind, both serious and informal, but thinking about Mikayla's true behavior style, it can rule out those weirder possibilities.

And Ampah said: "No matter what, I am a pure-blooded knight who serves Lord Monger. However, I have accomplished nothing and even forgot my oath. If I have the opportunity to atone for my sins, I will do my best."

"That's why I came here to investigate what they wanted to do to Lord Meng's body... but I didn't expect to meet you."

Ampach was quite calm and said directly: "With Ms. Leda's personality, after Lady Michaela's charm wears off, she will probably begin to doubt our former companions, and will really feel disloyal to her. impose sanctions.”

"That's why I passed the teleportation circle set up by my subordinates and came here in advance. When I see Ms. Leda again, I'm afraid it will be the time when she wants to eliminate me.

"I don't know if you guys have been affected by Lady Michaela's charm, and what are your plans now. I can only hope that you and I won't have to conflict... If it doesn't happen, even if the chance is slim, I, an old man, can't We can only fight to the death.”

Li You looked at him, and after thinking about his previous exchange with Ampah, he believed in his character and said, "If that's the case, then there's no need to worry. In fact, I didn't take orders from Mikaela from the beginning. , I’m here to find someone.”

Ampach was surprised: "Is this happening?" Li You then briefly explained to him what happened recently.

According to Li You's judgment, Ampah should be trustworthy and can basically be regarded as someone on the same side as them. He is a pure-blood knight who serves Monger. The purpose of coming here is to take back Monger's body, and Monger's body is in Mikaela's hands. This basically coincides with the purpose of Li You and his party - in short, they are all to Trouble with Michaela.

In addition, Ampah had previously demonstrated his rich experience, careful thinking, and accurate judgment. Li You made a prompt decision and decided to trust him and pull him into his own camp.

And Ampah did not disappoint Li You. After listening to a few sentences, he suddenly realized: "It turns out that Ms. Kara is your disciple... This is really surprising. I basically understand it. In this case, I am willing to assist you. ”

"good!"

Li You immediately asked without hesitation: "Then what do you think we should do best now?"

Ampah gently stroked his beard, and then said: "Based on the information we have, I boldly guess that Master Meng's body plays a very important role in Master Mikaela, but I can't figure it out yet."

"But I think we can make a fuss here. If Lord Mikaela needs Lord Monger's body, he must also send it to the Spiral Tower. From this point of view, perhaps delaying the lifting of the seal will be beneficial to Isn’t it clear that we are more advantageous?”

Li You didn't think so: "You mean...we won't get the fire, and we won't let Leda and the others get it?"

Ampah nodded: "Aren't you a little hesitant about whether you should challenge Mr. Messermo at this time? I think Ms. Leda is the same."

"Unlike me, she must have known your true purpose, so she should indeed be on her way here at this moment, maybe she has even arrived in the city. After all, Mr. Messermer's fire is of great importance.

“And since we can’t guarantee success by doing it now, we might as well change our thinking and not seek to obtain the fire first, but just ensure that others cannot succeed.

"I understand your eagerness to rescue Ms. Kara, but I think Ms. Leda will only be more anxious than us when it comes to breaking the seal.

"We create some obstacles for them to prevent them from getting the fire and lifting the seal, so that they can't send Master Monger's body to the Spiral Tower, and Master Michaela's goals should not be achieved.

"And during this time, I will do my best to find out what exactly Mikaela wants to do with Mongke's body. If we can solve the mystery, we might get some key information."

At this point, Ampach paused again and added: "Of course, this proposal is particularly beneficial to me in comparison, so this is just my opinion. If you have a better idea, I will definitely support it. "

After listening to Ampah's words, Li You's eyes lit up and his thoughts suddenly broadened. He was too impatient before and didn't think of a way to do the opposite.

Yes, of course he was anxious to find Kara, but Michaela had already left for the Shadow Tower in advance, and Leda, a fanatical believer, would only be more anxious. So even if she was worried about the same thing as Li You, she would probably choose to challenge Messermo.

And as long as they make a little trouble at this time... I'm not afraid that all of them can escape unscathed.

But Ampach was right. The importance of Mengge's body to Mikaela was just a guess after all. If he guessed wrong, Li You would have wasted his time.

However, in comparison, this is already a relatively stable plan.

"In that case...uh!"

Suddenly, Li You thought of something again, and his expression moved slightly.

He then looked at Melina and said, "Meimei, when you and Kara act together, you can also see everything in the outside world, right? Then do you know the area she is exploring?"

Melina: "Please don't call me that...Yes, I probably know where she searched, and I can point it out to you."

Li You nodded: "Okay, please give me some information. I want to find Messermo's location as soon as possible, and then give him a big gift!"

Melina's brows moved slightly: "What are you going to do?"

Li You smiled and suddenly pulled out the spiral sword: "Look at this and help judge whether we can do this..."

Listening to Li You's words, the expression on Melina's face finally gradually changed from calmness to surprise.

"There is such a thing..."

The two conspired in low voices, their voices getting quieter and quieter.

After a moment, Li You raised his head and grinned after receiving Melina's confirmation: "Isn't there a way?"

He didn't waste any time, activated the blessing teleportation on the spot, and disappeared without a trace, leaving all his companions except Melina here.

…

It didn't take long.

The elevator at the entrance to the species depository creaked, and Radha, Dann, and Horn Man arrived here.

Leda and Dane looked at each other, nodded, and prepared to act according to the plan, but they didn't expect that as soon as the horned man next to them came to this place, he immediately acted like crazy and pulled out the sickle-shaped double swords at his waist. Just rush to the roof.

"Messemer——!!"

This is not difficult to understand, after all, most of the species in this species library are related to the Horned Man clan. It’s normal to go crazy when you see your relatives, sisters, or objects of sacrifice being displayed in museums.

However, Kakuto lost control at this time. It was obvious that Leda and Dan were helpless, and they couldn't hold him back, so they could only follow him to the upper level.

Fortunately, they had obtained the information delivered by Kara before they came, knew all the information she was investigating, and basically locked the location of Mersemer.

And Leda, Dann, and even the ragged horned man were actually strong men for a while. With Kara's exploration experience, they advanced very quickly and made smooth progress. It took almost only one day. In two hours, he reached the top of another black tower-like building next to the species depository, in front of Messermo's darkroom.

Leda and Dane wanted to wait for the other companions, but Kakuto couldn't hold back his hatred and pushed open the door directly.

"Messemer——!! You will have to pay for the atrocities against us and other people... huh?"

Not only was he stunned, but Leda and Dane behind him were also shocked when they saw clearly what was inside the dark room.

Because what was waiting for them in the hall here was not the Messemer they imagined. Although the light in the hall was dim and it was difficult to see, the three of them could still clearly see that standing in the center of the room was a female knight with two swords wearing silver armor and a blue sash!

Knight of the Twin Moons, Leilana!

Not to mention Leda, even Dann almost couldn't hold it back and exclaimed: "How is this possible!?"

Immediately, candles lit up one after another on the four walls of the darkroom, and a male voice sounded, echoing in the darkroom:

"What a rude intruder. It's really noisy."

A red snake crawled out from nowhere, and its cold vertical pupils stared at Leda and the others: "Since you dare to come here to make noise, you must be ready, right?"
