Survival in the game world starts with Resident Evil 2

Chapter 738: The Core Layer of the Sea of ​​Consciousness

The sea of ​​consciousness of the fungus master, the core layer area.

The scenery is a vast ice field. As far as the eye can see, all it is white, with only a few undulations on the ground. The potholes should have been streams, but flowing in the river is an imaginary mold substance that constitutes a liquid black area.

What was even more eye-catching was the sky. In the sky, clusters of matter that looked like black suns were hanging high and low, and black matter was constantly pouring out of them. It really looked like a hole in the sky, allowing pollutants from the dark side of the world to pour out.

Of course, if Li You were here, his first reaction would definitely be... Woc, Eclipse!!
But he actually complained about this when he first started playing the game.

This is the lowest level of the Master's consciousness world, and the foundation of all the layers above. As for why this place returned to the village? Perhaps for the Master, the core layer is still more pleasing to the eye with familiar scenery.

And naturally, this is also where Wesker's consciousness is located.

At this moment, he was standing under the thickest stream of imaginary mold substance flowing down. A huge black sun was hanging high above his head, emitting a pale light, making this place look like the end of the world.

Wesker was certainly not standing here posing and waiting for Li You to come and kill him. Here, he could use the power of the fungus master to see the conditions inside each shallower layer.

However, because the main consciousness of the fungus master is still unclear, and the authority it gives to Wesker is still incomplete, it is inevitable that the pictures Wesker sees will have certain omissions, and some are even missing key parts.

But Wesker had no intention of complaining, nor did he show any contempt or impatience. He was concentrating on watching the movements of Li You and the other three in the mirror projected by the liquid black domain in front of him.

Obviously, at this critical moment, Wesker was not as confident and self-assured as he had shown before. He paid attention to all the details that might be touched upon, trying to make all preparations to face Li You in the end.

When Wesker saw Li You use extremely chic and shocking movements to avoid the attack of Lisa's imitation, and then solve it in one go, the eyes under Wesker's sunglasses also moved.

"...his skills have reached an extraordinary level. It seems that over the years, he has continued to become stronger in all aspects, not just relying on magic."

Wesker analyzed calmly, "Even if we pull him into this world, there are still variables in the final battle."

But this did not surprise him too much. Before making the final plan, Wesker had already prepared for the worst.

Abandoning his own life and betting everything on the final battle in the sea of ​​consciousness of the fungus master was an unprecedented gamble for Wesker, and he had made sufficient and excessive preparations for this.

Ever since the trip to the castle a few years ago, when Wesker found detailed information about the Fungus Master, Miranda and others in Spencer's computer, he had the outline of this plan in his mind.

At that time, he became more and more aware of the trouble that Li You and the people around him had caused him, and at that time he didn't know Li You's background, so he was afraid to act rashly.

After learning about Li You through spies, indirect intelligence and other channels a few times later, Wesker had already clearly understood that he was no match for him.

So, Wesker, who was cautious and suspicious by nature, began to make preparations.

Searching for ancient ruins and exploring myths around the world in order to gain magical powers; placing elite spies in BSAA and Trasever to find relevant secrets and gain intelligence advantages; and secretly influencing Tri-Union and cooperating with the family. This started several years ago, not until the secret department's data was stolen.

Of course, the most important thing is the layout of the mushroom owner.

After spending several years confirming the accuracy of Spencer's intelligence, Wesker tracked down Brandon Bailey, who was once a senior executive of Umbrella, and discovered the "alliance" he established. Wesker also infiltrated them and later successfully discovered that they were indeed related to the Fungus Master and Miranda.

When Brandon proposed cooperation to Miranda, Miranda, who was frustrated by her unsuccessful attempt to resurrect her daughter, readily agreed. Not only did she provide the alliance with mold for the experiment, she even transformed herself into a female researcher and participated in the experiment.

It was also during this period that she developed the E-series Mutamycetes and the human girl BOW code-named "Evelyn", which started the story of Resident Evil 7.

And because Evelyn ultimately did not meet Miranda's requirements and could not become the vessel for Eva's reincarnation, she ultimately abandoned Evelyn and the Alliance and returned to her village in Romania.

What she didn't know, even as a mother goddess, was that Wesker had actually been watching her research over the years and was deeply inspired.

It turns out that this is the Muta mold, and this is the power of the mold master.

As a spy researcher sent as Wesker's spokesperson, he successfully infiltrated the upper echelons of the alliance and was qualified to become one of Miranda's research assistants. He also learned accurate intelligence about the mold on the front line.

Don't be surprised that a spy can do so well. This is the specialty of the people brought by Wesker. For example, Richard at the beginning even got into the secret department with AI Angel screening. The secrecy of the alliance is still far behind that of Trasever. And the one from BSAA, who has not been found out yet.

So it's not surprising that Wesker knows about mold, he also watched Evelyn being cultivated. However, in this regard, he also agrees with Miranda's opinion, that is, even the E-series mutant mold is not of much value.

Of course, the reason why he came to this conclusion was different from Miranda's, but very similar to Spencer's.

In Wesker's opinion, today, a BOW used for infiltration operations is no longer worth his special attention, not to mention that the spread of mold is too slow.

But based on the information provided by the researcher, Wesker gained a deep understanding of mold. After learning about the ability of mold to support an entire consciousness network space, his final plan was completely formed.

Of course he would not share the mold information with anyone else. This was his last trump card.

Based on a large amount of research data and after objective analysis and research, Wesker came to a conclusion that the fungus master must have his own vague subjective consciousness, and the purpose of this consciousness is probably inconsistent with that of the mother goddess Miranda, who is his earthly spokesperson.

What the main consciousness of the fungus owner wants is to break free from the shackles of the original body, "descend" to the earth, and experience everything in the world like a real life, rather than only being able to watch the memories of the creatures it has absorbed.

This guess was bold, but Wesker felt that he was close to the truth.

Miranda was probably just a pawn of the fungus master. Her long-cherished wish to resurrect her daughter was probably just a long-term plan by the fungus master to choose a suitable body for herself.

Based on this guess, Wesker has an idea of ​​how to gain the trust of the main consciousness of the fungus owner.

There is no need to go into detail about what happened next. Wesker arranged a lot, asking Alex to share technology to create a clone of himself, scheming against the family to win in the end, planning countless major events, and at the same time, all of this was to stimulate Li You to confirm his current ability.

When everything is ready, it is time for Wesker to make his final stand. This battle is also a one-way battle. If he succeeds, he will become a god, but if he fails, he will perish.

After successfully faking his death, he personally went to the village in Romania, defeated the four lords alone, and contacted the fungus master. He successfully gained its trust and authority, squeezing out Miranda as his spokesperson on the ground.

Then, the only thing left is to face Li You in this world.

Wesker's eyes under his sunglasses closed slightly, then opened again. Without turning back, he said indifferently, "I didn't expect that you would be the first person to arrive here."

On the snowy plain behind him, a portal constructed of liquid black domain opened, and Leon walked out with Night Song in one hand and Chicago typewriter in the other. He shook off the imaginary mold on his body with some disgust, and then looked at Wesker in front of him: "So I'm the first one? Not bad, it seems that my vacation some time ago didn't make my hands and feet rusty."

Wesker finally turned around and looked at him: "Leon S. Kennedy, ten years ago, you were just a police officer who had just graduated, but now you have become the White House's most senior anti-biological consultant. I wonder if you are gifted or if that person's methods are so magical?"

Leon was not annoyed by his comments, but just said: "I know very well that the person you fear the most is Li You, and you don't have to prove it to me again and again. As for whether I have the ability, if you want to know, just come and try."

"Heh, you're not worth my energy." Wesker just sneered and raised his hand. Beside him, a black tide flowing down from the sky suddenly condensed, forming a puddle on the ground, and then a black-robed figure slowly rose from it.

He was wearing a gorgeous black robe, had a tall stature, several pairs of black wings on his back, and a light golden bird-beak-shaped mask on his face.

Even Leon knew this person—it was the "Mother Goddess" Miranda!

Leon couldn't help but be startled, then he remembered something: "Copied consciousness aggregate?"

"Yes, it seems that he really knows the Fungus Master very well." Wesker's expression was still cold. "This is Miranda that I copied in this world. She is also Spencer's teacher. Maybe I should respect her a little more?"

After telling a joke that was obviously not very funny, Wesker curled his lips and said, "Go ahead, get rid of this troublesome policeman. It's not time for me to step in yet."

After hearing Wesker's order, Miranda said nothing and walked towards Leon with elegant steps.

Leon did not retreat, he had no way to retreat, he just held Ye Ge and the typewriter tightly in his hands, and then took a deep breath slowly.

The next moment, he threw Ye Ge violently, pointing it at Miranda, and at the same time raised the typewriter and pulled the trigger!
"Da da da da da da-!!"

Ye Ge was in front, followed by a rain of bullets. When dealing with Lady Hachisha and her three daughters before, Leon relied on this routine to repeatedly pull the opponent, causing cumulative damage to the opponent and gradually destroying their conscious bodies, thereby successfully getting rid of the three daughters.

As for the eight-foot lady Akina who transformed into a giant dragon, Leon once again used the fully charged electromagnetic particle cannon to send her away on the spot - who told you to start a war here?

Unfortunately, the powerful particle cannon obviously could not be taken away, but Lyon didn't think he was helpless.

At this time, he came up with full firepower!

Continuous rain of bullets poured down, and Ye Ge was leading the way in front, but Miranda didn't take it at all. Her body flashed and turned into an afterimage composed of particles to avoid Leon's attack, and her real body appeared on the other side some distance away.

She then waved her hand vigorously, and several black mold tentacles rose from the ground and pressed down on Leon!

Leon reacted quickly and dodged quickly. Although he had no energy to use and his pure physical ability was not as good as Chris's, Leon's combat power was at the same level as Chris after all, so naturally he was not much different.

So even if he only relied on his reaction ability, Leon avoided Miranda's attack and escaped from the encirclement. At the same time, he never stopped using the Chicago Typewriter to attack Miranda, but unfortunately, it was blocked by the mold tentacles she transformed in front of her.

Miranda continued to summon tentacles and chased Leon, but he always dodged them at the last moment. Miranda seemed to think that this was too inefficient, so she finally changed her tactics.

As soon as she raised her hand, a huge, palm-shaped black mold tentacle broke out from the ground and grabbed towards Leon!

The tentacle actually looked more like a branch, but it was actually very flexible and could be stretched at will. Leon quickly retreated while attacking, but the tentacle also grew, and there were also slender mold tentacles surrounding him, obviously not intending to let him go.

Leon grinned: "Sorry, ma'am, I have someone in my heart, and I'm not interested in anyone who is too old or too young."

Miranda turned a deaf ear to him, thinking he was talking nonsense. The big hand was completely unprepared for the continuous shooting of the typewriter. The damage caused by these ordinary bullets could be repaired by a single flow of mold.

However, the next moment, Ye Ge, who had been thrown out, turned in the air, changed direction, and flew back at an even faster speed!

Miranda: “!?”

"Pfft-"

The night song pierced through her chest, leaving a big hole in her body. Miranda's body staggered twice, and the moldy hand and the surrounding tentacles also collapsed, and Leon's crisis was resolved.

Ye Ge then flew back to Leon and yelled at Miranda: “Don’t touch other people’s things casually!”

A large area of ​​liquid black appeared under Miranda's feet, and imaginary mold repaired her body from bottom to top. She then stood firm and looked at Leon.

“Ahh…Ah ...

The next moment, Miranda let out an ear-piercing scream, and her entire body began to mutate rapidly, even rising into the air, transforming from her original human female form into an appearance like a fallen angel!

"Are you serious?" Leon looked at Miranda in the sky and held Ye Ge tightly, "Then let's try it... huh?"

At the same time, Miranda and even Wesker noticed something and turned to look to the other side.

There, the liquid black domain portal appeared again, and this time, it was Chris who walked out with a gun and a shield.

As soon as he walked out, his eyes swept across the entire place, and then without saying a word, he raised the rifle in his hand and used the grenade launcher hanging underneath it to fire a fierce shot at Miranda in the sky!
"Boom——!!"

Miranda was temporarily pushed back a distance, and Chris took the opportunity to meet up with Leon.

“You’re a little late!” Leon greeted with a smile, and Chris said, “Let’s talk later, let’s deal with her first!”

The two main male protagonists of the Resident Evil series looked at Miranda at the same time and tightened their weapons.

On the side, Wesker, who was watching the whole fight, said nothing. Even though he could have reminded Miranda about Night Song before, he didn't say a word.

To him, this battle was not worth any extra attention.

It wasn't until Chris showed up that he shifted his attention a little.

"Chris... Heh, you're not slow. But coming to this world to face me is your biggest mistake!"
