Survival in the game world starts with Resident Evil 2

Chapter 629 The Mother of Finger and the Truth of Two Fingers
It’s not that Li You is bad at math, it’s just that in the Souls series, having two NPCs in a side quest is indeed not a small number.

What's more, Li You originally thought that there would be no other major events in the Shadow Land, which was why he sighed like that.

Ymir, who was sitting in a high-back chair, looked over, and the black-armored warrior stood up. She was obviously a little annoyed by Li You's breaking into the room, but Ymir looked calm: "As expected, he came."

"Welcome, heroes who bear the weight of fate. Please come over here. But please be careful where you step, as there may be children playing on the ground."

Li You and the other two: “?”

They looked around but didn't see any "child". Li You didn't want to be riddled with him, so he strode forward, walked past the black-armored warriors, and stood in front of Ymir.

"What a decisive visitor you are!" Ymir nodded. "In that case, I will save those useless words and get straight to the point."

"Welcome to Manus Mette. My name is Ymir. I used to be a pyroxene magician, and now I am the host here."

Ymir had a thin smile on her face as she introduced it to Li You: "I hope to be a help to others, especially those who are fighting for their goals, so since you are here, please accept this."

He handed over a long, thin light blue stone necklace with several holes on the surface. It looked very similar to the bell hanging in the Finger Ruins, and there was also a hand-drawn map.

"There is a mysterious relic marked on the map. There is a bell there. When the bell is blown, the fate of that person will be guided by the bright stars."

"There is no need to refuse, and there is no need to doubt. All of this is the guidance of fate... May the bright stars lead you forward."

"That's what happened." Li You nodded, and the next moment, the Undead Slash was unsheathed with a clang, and the bloody blade was against Ymir's neck.

"But why do I smell a lie? You are so suspicious."

“What are you doing——!”

The black-armored warrior below wanted to rush up immediately, but V immediately blocked her way. A small part of the lightning moon shadow popped out from the sheath, and there was a faint flash of lightning on the blade.

"do not move."

A whole row of magic swords also appeared above Kara's head, neatly aimed at the black-armored warrior, forcing her to stop.

Ymir still looked at Li You calmly: "Please calm down. There is no need to do anything. I really have no hostility towards you."

Li You didn't believe it at all.

There's a look on Ymir's face that says "I'm not a good person," and from the first moment Li You saw him, his intuition told him that he had a conspiracy.

"Stop talking nonsense, I don't have time to play games with you." Li You moved the Undead Slash forward a tiny bit, and the extremely sharp blade immediately cut the skin on Ymir's neck, and blood flowed out.

Ymir then sensed the power of the curse in the Blood Undying Slash, and her eyes widened immediately: "This power... is really amazing, but what I said is indeed the truth."

"I have no 'hostility' towards you. The necklace I gave you, as long as you wear it and blow the two bells in the two ruins, your destiny will be guided by the bright stars. When the time comes, you can come back here and witness the true secrets."

"You just fucking have to be the Riddler, don't you?"

Li You was annoyed. You guys can't talk properly, right?

He immediately pulled out the spiral sword and said, "Then I will teach you how to communicate with normal people!"

Li You picked up the spiral sword and wanted to hit Ymir a few times to wake him up. But at this moment, a short rustling sound suddenly came from behind Ymir's high-back chair, which attracted Li You's attention.

"Ok?"

The moment he cast his eyes over, several large pale fingers appeared from behind the high-back chair, and then immediately retracted. But at this moment, Li You had already recognized the true form of the thing.

"What the hell, a finger bug?"

Li You immediately swung the spiral sword and dropped it behind the high-back chair. As soon as the sword was swung, a scorching hot wind swept out, forcing the thing hiding behind it out - it turned out to be a larval finger worm.

Li You was naturally merciless to creatures like the finger worm, and the spiral sword fell down at an accelerated speed!
Yumi's expression suddenly changed: "No——!!"

While shouting like this, he ignored the Blood Immortal Slash that Li You held on his neck and the spiral sword that was falling, and pounced towards the finger worm!
Li You: "!?"

His move was so sudden that Li You almost couldn't stop himself and chopped him and the finger worm together.

"boom!!"

At the critical moment, Li You moved the spiral sword away, letting the sword fall to the ground. Ymir fell to the ground, hugged the finger worm in her arms, and even talked to it: "Oh, Yuli, my Yuli... Fortunately, you are okay."

"It doesn't matter. I will be a mother soon. I will give birth to you healthy and stay by your side forever. I will be your real mother."

Li You: "?"

Looking at him, an old man, holding an alien-shaped finger worm in his arms like a baby, and even looking at it with a loving face and coaxing it to sleep, even Li You felt a vague chill.

"Are you crazy?"

Ymir ignored him, still looking at the finger worm in her arms, muttering to herself: "...Oh, how pitiful. Yuri, did you have a nightmare? I hope you can quickly forget that broken and ugly thing."

"...That's enough, I should do this."

Li You raised his sword and swung it gently. A wind blade swept out and hit Ymir's back with a bang. Ymir screamed, and the little finger worm in her arms flew out. Li You stretched out his hand and grabbed the little monster in his hand.

Ymir immediately turned to him, "Let go of Yuri!"

Li You didn't bother to be polite with him. He put the Blood Immortal Slash on the palm of "Yuli" and said, "If you tell me your purpose honestly, I can consider it. If you continue to be secretive with me, then if I'm not satisfied with one question, it will lose a finger, and if there are more, it will lose more... Do you understand?"

Ymir looked at the little hand he held in his hand, and quickly realized the situation: "...Okay, let me tell you." "This story starts a long time ago. In the past, an explosion occurred in a distant place, and the explosion produced stardust - that is, us. We are all children of the Supreme Will..."

"Get to the point." Li You's knife moved an inch closer to the finger worm.

“Good, good!” Ymir said hurriedly, “The Supreme Will once sent a meteor and a beast to the border. This was the beginning of the Golden Tree Era.”

"That beast was later said to have become the Elden Ring, and within that meteor was the dazzling daughter of the Supreme Will, the mother of the Two-Fingers and all the Fingerworms, the Mother of the Finger!"

Li You: "!!"

Kara: "!?"

Even Melina, who had not shown up but had been paying attention to the outside world, was stunned when she heard this: "The...daughter of the Supreme Will?"

Seeing that Li You was stunned by the topic she raised, Ymir finally breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "...I think you have also witnessed the lies and contradictions of the Golden Tree Generation. Why did everything fall into such a desperate situation? Because destruction and disorder have existed since the beginning...That is the Mother of Finger."

"The Mother of Finger was supposed to receive messages from the Supreme Will and convey His voice. However, the Mother of Finger collapsed some time ago. She could no longer hear the voice of the Supreme Will and was abandoned. Those two fingers who claim to guide others are just acting recklessly and recklessly."

Even Li You was a little dazed when he suddenly heard the news, not to mention Melina who was born and grew up in the border area and had a mission on her shoulders.

"Two fingers... have you long since lost the voice of the Supreme Will?"

Even though Melina had never followed the instructions of two fingers, she could not help but remain silent at this moment. For her, the impact of this news was particularly great.

"…Then what are you planning? What do you want to do by luring us here?" After coming to his senses, Li You continued to ask Ymir.

"Because of the collapse of the Finger Mother, a series of tragedies were triggered. The role of the mother is crucial, don't you think?" Ymir asked back, and then answered herself, "So, we need a real, new mother who will not cause destruction."

Li You understood: "You just want to be this 'mother'?"

"That's right." Ymir said solemnly, "Yuri, and those children, as long as I become a mother, I can give birth to them again and make them beautiful."

A male mom, right?
Li You was a little uncomfortable, but he held back and didn't complain: "What does that have to do with us? Why do we have to blow the bell?"

Ymir answered truthfully: "If I want to become a mother, I need the power of the Mother of Finger. To do this, first of all, you must have a unique destiny and be able to blow the bell to be qualified to meet her."

"Then, those who meet her will have to kill her and take her power. Finally, I will take action, take back this power, and become the new mother."

Li You: "......"

Great, perfect plan, except for one thing.

"…What makes you think you can take that power away from the person who killed the Mother of Finger?"

Ymir was not going to answer, but Li You directly pressed the Undead Slash against Yuri's skin, and Ymir was so scared that she immediately spilled the beans: "I have been preparing here! The ruins where the Finger Mother is hiding are under this church!"

"As long as you can kill the Mother of Finger, I can absorb most of the scattered power through the magic circle I prepared in advance, and then use it to deal with you who have obtained the essence of the Mother of Finger!"

Li You understood: "Your idea is good, it's a win for the fishermen. But now it's exposed, you know what will happen, right?"

Ymir clenched her teeth, while the black-armored warrior on the other side tightly grasped the knife at his waist, ready to fight for his life.

Then, Li You said the following words: "Wait here, I will go blow the bell now."

Ymir: “???”

He was stunned for a long time before he remembered to ask: "Why did you..."

"Nothing to do with you."

Li You put away the knife, but still did not let go of "Yuli", "Just be prepared, I will come back to trouble the Mother of Finger later."

Seeing Li You carrying Yuri and about to leave, Ymir hesitated for a moment, but still said, "...Wait, you can't do it. You don't have the corresponding destiny, so you can't blow the bell."

Li You was stunned: "I don't have a corresponding destiny? Then who has it?"

"……she."

Following the direction of Ymir's finger, Li You's gaze extended over and then fell on Kara.

Kara was stunned: "Me? Why?"

"Fate is something that is difficult to explain with theory. Even the Full Moon Queen Reinara of the Calia royal family could only observe part of the trajectory of fate." Ymir said, "I can only be sure that among the three of you, only you have the destiny to blow the bell and meet the Mother of Finger."

"You mean, she can only rely on herself to fight?" Li You looked at Ymir, and Ymir nodded: "That's right."

"Forget it then." Li You said without hesitation, "We won't get involved in this mess. It's enough for us to know the news about the Mother of Finger."

Ymir: “!?”

"Let's go, let's get ready to go back. The previous plan needs to be changed."

Ymir wanted to stop him, but Li You ignored him. However, Li You still held Yuri in his hand, and Ymir did not dare to turn hostile.

However, when Li You asked Kara to leave together, she did not move. Instead, she closed her eyes and stood still for a moment, then said, "Master, I still want to meet the Mother of Finger."

As she spoke, she also predicted Li You's reaction in advance: "Don't worry. Don't forget, I am now a fader. The Mother of Finger is very important, so leave it to me - I'll take the necklace and I'll be back soon."
