Survival in the game world starts with Resident Evil 2

Chapter 746: Fragmented World, Infinity Sword

——Not long ago.

In the secret department's laboratory occupied by the Night Demon's lair, Chris and Leon, who were immersed in a small incubation pool, woke up one after another. Each of them suddenly bounced their bodies, opened their eyes, and subconsciously breathed hard.

Kara, who had been standing by, waved her hand, and the medical staff who had been prepared came forward, dragged the two out of the incubation pool, and sent them for observation and treatment.

Although Chris's consciousness was injured, it should be fine. Leon is just a little weak and he just needs to rest.

After the two of them, Claire also woke up quickly.

She opened her eyes wide in an instant, took a deep breath, and propped herself up. Kara was about to have someone take her to the medical room, but she saw Claire struggling to speak: "Wait... emergency!"

Kara's eyes moved, but seeing that she barely had the energy to speak clearly, she immediately turned to Yuzu and Edge at the core of the nest.

Aiji also opened his eyes at this time: "Li You has something to convey."

Although she is responsible for maintaining the connection between Li You and the fungus master's sea of ​​consciousness, she can also move around in the real world, so she can help convey Li You's instructions.

"He holds some kind of crystal fragment in his hand, and you and Claire need to touch it together for it to work."

Kara was also startled, but then she understood why Claire insisted on not getting treatment. So she didn't ask any more questions, helped Claire up, and came to Li You who was still soaking in the incubation pool. Sure enough, she saw that he was holding something in his hand, and there was magic wrapped around his hand, which should be some kind of simple seal.

The two of them stretched out their hands together and pressed on Li You's hands. After sensing their breath, the magic seal broke instantly. Li You's hands subconsciously clenched, and a dazzling light projected from between his fingers!
And then, Claire, Kara, and everyone else's consciousness froze at this moment.

——In the fragmented world.

Li You was looking at a strange building in front of him.

He was standing on a small hill on the edge of a wasteland. Looking around, the ground was covered with dark brown hard soil, and even weeds and shrubs were extremely scarce.

And in the barren hills some distance ahead, there stands a tall square building. The whole building looks like a huge, weathered, but still upright stone pile.

Its surface is light in color and it is tens of meters high, so one can tell at a glance that it is a man-made object. Apart from its overly regular shape, there is a huge breathing light on the front that flashes blue light, forming a strange pattern that is difficult for ordinary people to understand.

"I really miss it." Li You wore the armor in the previous information, holding the helmet in his hand, with his sword and shield crossed and suspended on his back, looking at the tall building.

However, although he said this, there was not much expression on his face. After all, this was not the first time he had entered this fragmented world.

This world fragment comes from the game "Infinity Blade 3", which is an old Apple mobile game.

As for the background setting... it's a bit complicated. To put it simply, it's a story about a villain who has lost his memory and turned over a new leaf, fighting against another real villain in a near-future world that looks like an ancient world but is actually the end of modern civilization...

This world fragment was actually one that Li You obtained a long time ago. He naturally entered it and tried it out. However, given that the world fragment itself has stronger functionality than the reward given, Li You did not choose to complete it.

Because he found a way to pass the level very early, Li You never entered this world later, so this was the first time he opened the world fragments and triggered the hidden route after he possessed the current complete Immortal Slash.

Originally, he was going to play the game's protagonist, Ceres, to complete the game's clearance mission, but in the hidden route, the character he used was changed to another man named Redal.

Redaler is the boss of the first two generations of games and also the protagonist's nemesis, but before the final hidden boss of the third generation, the two chose to cooperate.

This hidden BOSS is the "mysterious craftsman" mentioned in the mission requirements.

This level, "Ark", was originally the final chapter in the game, but if it was Redaler, it would be the prologue content. In the prologue, Redaler failed when facing the craftsman and was killed by him, but in the end he desperately delivered the recorder with the key data of the craftsman to the protagonist, and did everything he could.

As for this time?

Li You raised his hand, touched the Infinity Sword on his back, and smiled slightly.

In addition to the tasks previously issued, he had just received a further system prompt. The problems he had been worried about no longer existed after seeing this prompt.

So Li You also relaxed and prepared to concentrate on conquering this fragmented world.

He then put on his helmet. The crown-like visor completely concealed his features, but the field of vision inside was actually very good and did not affect observation at all.

He jumped down from the hill where he was standing, walked towards the building, and soon met the first person who came to obstruct him on the open ground in front of the building.

He was a warrior wearing full black armor, holding two long swords in his hands, tall and full of imposing manner.

He was a guard of the artisans, and "Deyel" was the name given to such soldiers.

This world is set in the near future after the collapse of civilization. Although the remaining high-tech is still in the hands of a few people, the rules of this world have changed. Everything is no longer determined by artillery and nuclear bombs, but has become a stage for the "undead warriors" to fight.

Powerful undead warriors rule different regions and manage the remaining humans, and Deyel is a soldier under their command.

As the name suggests, "Undead Warriors" are immortal.

However, their immortality is not achieved through magical power, but black technology.

Before the destruction of human civilization in this world, craftsmen developed a black technology called "Quantum Identity Mode (QIP)", which can store all of a person's memories and consciousness in digital form. Then, when the body dies, the QIP can abandon the body and be reborn into a clone prepared in advance.

This technology sounds very similar to the black technology studied by Alex in the biochemical world, or the soul-killing technology of Cyberpunk. However, there is a key difference, that is, the QIP technology in this world actually digitizes human consciousness, rather than cloning or copying.

In other words, you are still yourself.

When Saburo Arasaka found out about this, he cried with envy.

Although it is not the immortality of the body, QIP technology can be regarded as the immortality of the soul. To kill such an undead warrior, a special weapon is needed - the Infinity Sword.

This is also the one that Li You (Rui Dale) is carrying at this moment.

This handsome longsword with a ring guard and a light golden blade looks like an artifact from ancient legends, but it is actually a product of technology. It has the ability to destroy the QIP of undead warriors, and only in this way can it truly kill them.

Facing the Deyel guards in front of him, Li You took off the shield and Infinity Sword behind him.

This battle was not difficult. After all, Li You was using the body of the BOSS from the previous two games, the "Immortal God King" Redaler, and he also had the top-level armor and equipment, and of course the Infinity Blade that had been fully activated.

Even if he only relied on the instinctive reaction of this body, Li You could defeat the guard in front of him, not to mention that his own fighting skills were not inferior to those of Redaler, Ceres and others.

The Deyel brandished two swords and rushed towards Li You swiftly, but Li You held the golden shield tightly in his left hand, watched the momentum of his swords, and blocked and bounced with perfect timing, thus deflecting the two swords that fell one after another.

He thrust the Infinity Sword in his right hand forward again. A faint blue light appeared on the sword and it pierced Deyel's body easily, freezing all his movements.

Li You drew his sword, put away his weapon, walked past Deyel and walked away, not even looking at the limp body behind him.

Although it is the same fragmented world, perhaps to restore the game settings, the enemies encountered in each challenge are still different, and Li You is now playing a hidden route, which is something he has never seen in the game.

But even so, he has his own confidence. In addition to his own fighting skills, it is the power that was brought into this world with him after the hidden route was triggered.

To defeat the craftsman, it is indeed necessary to use forces outside of this world.

Li You came to the huge building and pressed on the tall stone door. The stone door automatically lowered and allowed him to walk in.

The bottom floor inside this side is an empty hall, and there are also Deyel guards. In the game, Redaler appeared in the room where he fought the craftsman boss, and he didn't walk through this side, but Seres took this road when he attacked in the final chapter, so Li You also knew it.

This time, the person standing in front of him was a giant wearing brutal armor and holding a thick stone pillar as a weapon. He looked very imposing, but Li You was too lazy to bother with him. He took the initiative to avoid the stone pillar that was dropped by the giant, stepped on it to gain momentum, jumped high, and spun in the air. The Infinity Sword pierced the giant's head from top to bottom!

"Boom-"

The giant fell, Li You drew his sword and stepped onto the disc-shaped suspended elevator that came to greet him.

The road here is longer than in the game. Li You also eliminated many guards along the way before finally reaching the top floor, the craftsman's "throne room".

Here, the craftsman is preparing his new plan of destruction.

He was a man also wearing technological armor, and his equipment was also black with gold decorations, but his style was different from Redaler's.

His helmet was a mask with an old man's face, and there was a tall crown-like protrusion on the top of his head.

The prologue in the game begins here, with Redal throwing a Djeru corpse into the hall and challenging the craftsman.

However, Li You had no intention of chatting with the craftsman. He simply drew his sword.

"Come and fight me."

"Hehehe... Are you so impatient, Redaler?" The mysterious craftsman sat on the throne, with a light blue virtual screen floating around him. He was so busy processing the data that he didn't even look at Li You.

"Redal, you are a very interesting sample, you know that?" The craftsman spoke leisurely while processing the data.

Then Li You directly pulled out a dagger from his waist - this was something he had taken from a certain Deyel on the way here - and threw it hard. The dagger cut through the floating screen in front of the craftsman and pierced deeply into the back of his throne!

The craftsman tilted his head slightly to avoid the knife that was originally aimed at his forehead. After glancing sideways at the dagger in front of him, the craftsman also stood up.

"...It seems that the two years in the Cave of Blood and Tears did not give you enough patience. Well, let me educate you personally, as the creator of all this."

In the game, Redaler would have to argue with the craftsman, and the craftsman would release Redaler's former subordinates and friends to fight him. However, Li You knew that the craftsman was easily angered, so he directly provoked him in person, and indeed, he skipped those boring teaching levels.

At this time, the craftsman had already walked down from the throne. He raised his hand, and with a flash of blue light, a sword with an outline very similar to the Infinity Sword in Li You's hand, but without the retro decoration and appearance, appeared in his hand with an overall modern and technological feel.

That's also the Infinity Blade.

A mysterious craftsman, he is the inventor of QIP technology, the forger of the Infinity Blade, and one of the destroyers of the old world.

When human civilization still existed, his company developed QIP technology and planned to destroy humanity and bring the world under its own rule.

They did it, and eventually modern human society perished, and the world was ruled by undead warriors. The most respected among them were the craftsmen and Osa, the former head of the company, who was once called the "Devil King".

And Osa, now Ceres, is who he was before he lost his memories.

As for Redaler, he was one of the people who obtained QIP in the old times. Since the destruction of the old world, he has been an opponent of Osa and the craftsmen.

In the past, the Infinity Blade has always been considered the only weapon that can kill undead warriors, but for the developers and craftsmen of QIP, it is obviously not difficult to create a second Infinity Blade.

He even openly gave himself a cheat, which was that even the Infinity Blade could not destroy his QIP, which meant that he was truly immortal.

Seris in the game couldn't solve this deadlock either. He found another way to bypass it and defeated the craftsman.

And Redaler in the prologue could only die at the hands of the craftsman after making the decision.

To be honest, for Li You, who was familiar with the background setting and plot of the Infinity Blade series, Redaler's death was a great pity, so this time his hidden route was triggered, and Li You naturally wanted to get a good ending.

Looking at the craftsman approaching with the second-generation Infinity Sword, Li You curled his lips under his mask:

"Yes, that's it. Come and fight me. You are not as omnipotent as you think you are. I will defeat you, just like when Osa betrayed you and imprisoned you in the Cave of Tears for a thousand years."

The craftsman in the game, at the beginning, always had an attitude that everything was under control and did not take Redaler's threat seriously at all.

But when Redaler said something similar to the previous line, the craftsman immediately got angry and was about to come up and chop people with his sword.

It hits me where it hurts, and I get anxious.

So Li You did not hesitate to use these words to provoke him. Sure enough, the unhappy craftsman blushed on the spot and rushed forward: "I will let you know how wrong you are!"

The long sword swung down, Li You raised his hand to meet the attack, and the two endless swords collided in mid-air, creating dazzling sparks!

"clang--!!"
