Survival in the game world starts with Resident Evil 2

Chapter 749: The disposal of the mushroom owner, conversation with Muller and his son
After letting Claire sleep in the medical room, Li You also asked about the conditions of Leon and Chris.

The two were sent for examination first, and the results were good. Even Chris, who was injured in the master's sea of ​​consciousness, recovered well.

So Li You was no longer worried, and asked them to have a good rest while he left first.

After that, there is still the most critical matter to deal with - Kara and V have brought the mushroom master back.

As mentioned before, the main body of the fungus is quite large. Even when curled up, it is still nearly ten meters long. It would have been difficult to transport it into the secret department secretly. However, Kara simply drew a teleportation array to solve this problem.

Now, it is placed in a temporarily cleaned up room next to the laboratory where the core of the Night Demon's Lair is located. Kara, Yuzu, Edge, and V are gathered here, waiting for him.

Compared with the biochemical protagonists of this world, they can better understand how extraordinary the power of the Fungus Master is and how much it exceeds the original level of this world, so they also know that Li You will definitely come here as soon as possible and wait here.

"How is the status of the fungus master?" Li You also became serious and asked his companions.

"It's very stable, and there's no change in the main body's consciousness." Edge answered first.

Although the fungus master has a physical body, just like in the eighth-generation game, even if this body is blown up, the fungus master's main consciousness and the fungus master's consciousness space will not disappear.

As long as the Muta mold exists in the world, the sea of ​​consciousness of the master of the fungus will always exist. At most, its internal scale and sphere of influence will change.

So when Li You threatened Wesker before, he also said that all the mold existence in this world must be wiped out, so that the sea of ​​consciousness of the fungus master can be completely eliminated.

Therefore, it was not enough to capture the main body of the fungus. Aiji also had to devote some of his energy to paying attention to the movements of the main body of the fungus in his sea of ​​consciousness. It was very quiet, as if it was frightened by Li You.

"What are you going to do with it?" Kara asked directly. The others also looked over with interest, obviously wanting to know what Li You was going to do.

Li You also pondered for a moment. To be honest, he hadn't figured out what to do with the mushroom owner.

This thing, or the entire Muta mold system, possesses too magical power. If it is exposed, it will obviously cause an out-of-control situation.

After all, compared to the illusory virus modification, the ability of the Fungus Master in prolonging life and maintaining consciousness is unparalleled, so much so that after Capcom incorporated this thing into the eighth generation of games, it directly gave birth to a huge BUG: Why didn't Spencer ask Miranda to borrow the Fungus Master to prolong his life when he was about to die?

You have to know that Spencer was Miranda's student and had no conflicts with her. When he decided to establish Umbrella Corporation, he even wrote her a letter to tell her.

If I have to explain it, it can only be said that Spencer adheres to his ideal of becoming a god and is unwilling to be controlled by Miranda, the spokesperson of the fungus master.

But it might be understandable that Spencer, a mentally ill man, refused the gift of the mushroom master, but what about other politicians who are in high positions but are getting older? The answer is predictable.

Fortunately, Li You was quite sensitive about this matter, so he had been prepared. After Wesker had done the last wave of things, he had used people who were trustworthy and could guarantee that the secret would not be leaked. The ability of the fungus master was top secret and had not been leaked.

But that is another matter. How the mushroom owner deals with it is still an important and sensitive issue.

"In fact, what I originally wanted was to erase the consciousness of the fungus master, and then keep its body to cultivate a new main consciousness and educate it well, so that its power can also be used by us."

Li You thought about it and said what he had thought before, "But after Aiji's investigation, he found that although the main consciousness of the fungus master is not perfect now, it cannot be erased casually, otherwise the consciousness and memory currently stored in the sea of ​​consciousness will be destroyed. So this method will not work."

"But if we don't cultivate it from scratch, to be honest, I don't trust the current consciousness of the fungus owner at all."

Li You's worry is real. Although the existing fungus master consciousness behaves very well, it has no complete logic and personality. Secondly, it is obedient simply because of its fear of Li You and the suppression of Aggie. Once Li You and his party leave the biochemical world, it is hard to say what it will do.

But on the other hand, even in Li You's opinion, the ability of the fungus master is extremely precious and rare. Now that he has taken it intact, he can't just destroy it, right? That would be too much of a loss.

At this time, unexpectedly, Yuzu raised her hand and said, "I have an idea."

Li You was stunned, and everyone looked at him, all a little surprised.

Being watched by everyone, Yuzu, who hardly expressed her own opinions, was not nervous at all. Instead, she spoke at a much more normal speed: "Mycelium Master, its ability is very similar to that of the Nest Core. Feed it to the Core, and the Core should be able to absorb its ability."

"Oh?" Li You raised his eyebrows. He did not question Yuzu's judgment, but asked directly, "What is the success rate? Can the Night Demon Nest Core absorb all the abilities of the Fungus Master?"

He was asking this to both Yuzu and Edge at the same time. During the previous adventure of everyone into the fungus master's sea of ​​consciousness, Edge had been maintaining contact and providing assistance, but Yuzu had also been silently contributing. He was responsible for using his abilities to coordinate the power of the mold in the core of the Night Demon's Lair to maintain the stability of the connection, which was also crucial.

Because of this, he might know more about mold and its owners than Edge.

After hearing Yuzu's suggestion, Aggie, the Queen of Night Demons, was moved. It seemed that she had just thought of this method. When she heard Li You's question, she thought for a moment and said:
"If Yuzu thinks that the Fungus Master is sufficiently adaptable to the Night Demon's Nest Core, then we can really try it. But the specific success rate, and if successful, how much of the Fungus Master's abilities the Nest Core can retain, all require further testing."

Li You pondered for a moment, then said, "Then I'll leave it to you. Thank you for your hard work. How to deal with the mushroom owner will depend on your results."

Although he approved of this plan, Li You actually hoped most to keep the power of the Fungus Master in the biochemical world and leave it to his comrades, even if it was just as an insurance policy. Moreover, if it was handed over to the trio of dark scientists in the secret department, who knows, they could research out some new technology.

But the problem still exists. If there is no one in charge, then the risk of leaving the Fungus Master in this world would be too high, so it would not be possible.

Then we can only look at the conclusions of Yuzu and Aggie.

After confirming this, the matter was not over. Li You clapped his hands again and said, "Before doing this, there is one more thing - alliance."

But we can't forget this organization. This organization was also founded by Brandon Bailey, a remnant of Umbrella. It has existed for many years and has cooperated with Miranda to develop new types of mold, but it has not been eliminated yet.

Previously, Wesker used his own spy to seize the opportunity when Miranda left, found the secret laboratory of the Alliance, and hijacked a large amount of their experimental and research data and materials. But even so, the Alliance was not destroyed.

Because in the research institute raided by Wesker, there was no Brandon Bailey, the founder and core of the Alliance, nor was there Evelyn, the mold mutant BOW, who gave birth to the plot of the seventh generation and laid the groundwork for the eighth generation.

The Alliance organization still hides in the dark.

But they couldn't hide for long.

Previously, when Miranda entrusted Li You with her care, she gave him detailed information about the alliance. There was no doubt that Miranda's authority in the alliance was second only to Brandon. Even if she was only focused on research, the information she knew was extremely core.

At the same time, Li You and his team, who had controlled the fungus master, could use the fungus master to reversely locate Evelyn. Evelyn was a product of the E series fungus developed in the laboratory, but her origin was ultimately the fungus master, and the connection between the two sides could not be cut off, so the process would be easy.

Only after finding Evelyn, destroying the alliance organization, and completing the tasks of the seventh and eighth generations of biochemicals can it be considered perfectly completed.

This task can be handed over to... well, to Jill who did not participate in the journey to the sea of ​​consciousness of the fungus master, and the rest of the main characters and supporting roles. As for the task planning, Kara can handle it.

After arranging the matters here, the most urgent work was done. Although there was still a lot of mess waiting for him to clean up, Li You decided to stop here for today and take a rest.

Even his mental strength felt quite exhausted after going through the Master's sea of ​​consciousness. Everything else would be put on hold until he woke up. His companions also understood Li You's fatigue, so Kara said directly, "Leave the rest to us, Master, you should have a good rest."

"Then I'll leave it to you." Li You waved his hand and said no more. He didn't need observation or treatment, but he needed a good sleep. After explaining it to his companions, he felt very sleepy.

So, Li You didn't even bother to go back to the lounge in the outer area. He just found an empty room here, lay down on the experimental bed, and fell into a deep sleep.

This sleep was a deep one.

……

When he finally woke up, his body's instinct immediately told him that it had been exactly fifty hours and forty-four minutes.

"Have I slept for so long?"

Li You stood up and found that he was covered with a quilt. The experimental bed he was lying on was also padded. Probably the only one who could do this was Kara.

"Are they done?"

Just as he was thinking about going out to confirm, the camera in the corner of the room projected beams of light, outlining Angel's image in front of him.

"You're awake, Mr. Li You." An Qi still looked like a sweet little girl in a white dress, and greeted him respectfully.

"Well, what is the progress of each task now?"

After sleeping for three days, Li You naturally wanted to know about the progress.

"Most of the tasks you assigned earlier are progressing smoothly. I am supervising the entire process, and Ms. Kara will also keep an eye on it."

“Your companions, Leon, Chris, and Claire are still sleeping, and it seems that they need more time to recover.

"In addition, based on this point, Ms. Kara has arranged two guests for you, and you need to receive them in person."

"Hmm?" Li You couldn't help but look at An Qi.

"In fact, the two of them are already waiting here. If you don't mind, I'll call them in."

Li You was curious about who the person was who was so eager to be sent here, so he said, "Let them in. I'll clean up the place."

An Qi nodded and then disappeared. Li You waved his hand to take away the bedding on the experimental bed, put the bed back in place, sat down at the table next to him, and waited quietly.

The door of the room opened quickly, and the two people who appeared outside the door surprised Li You a little.

Jack Mueller, and his mother.

Li You was indeed a little surprised, but he had originally thought about telling Jack about it later, so he was surprised that it was Kara who sent them to see him.

Being so meticulous in her work, it seems that Kara was able to support the entire secret department by herself back then. This is indeed real strength, without any exaggeration.

Let’s not talk about that for now. Since Jack and his mother are here, it goes without saying what they want to ask.

Although for Jack, asking Chris might be a more acceptable option, firstly, Chris was still sleeping at this time, and secondly, it was Li You who witnessed Wesker's ending after all.

"...Come here, both of you. Don't just stand there."

Jack came to Li You, did not sit down, took a deep breath, and asked directly: "That guy... Wesker, is he really dead this time?"

It made sense for him to ask this. After all, he had witnessed his "father" die in front of him once before. However, after a while, he was told that the guy was not only alive, but had caused something even bigger and almost destroyed the world.

Even for Jack, this was a big shock.

Fortunately, Li You could give him a definite answer this time: "He is dead, completely. Whether it is his body in the world or his remaining will, they have completely disappeared and will never appear again."

He was so sure not only because of Wesker's words, but also because of the system's prompts.

At this time, in Li You's system display, the previously unfinished Biochemical 5 branch line, as well as the later Biochemical 8 branch line, have all been completed. This means that Wesker, who made all this happen, has been completely defeated.

"...Really?" Jack also heard the affirmation in Li You's tone and knew that this time there would not be another such blunder as his father doing sit-ups in the coffin. His reaction then was actually relief.

"that would be great."

Facing Li You's gaze, Jack raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said, "If it were you, you wouldn't be surprised why I said that, right?"

"I'm not surprised that you think so, but..." Li You said and looked at Ms. Mueller who was standing beside him.

As a result, when Muller saw him coming, he bowed deeply to Li You and said, "Mr. Li You, I also want to thank you. Thanks to you, this child can finally get rid of the shadow of his biological father and choose his own path."

Li You was also slightly startled, but he saw a clear look on Mueller's face without any hesitation, so he understood and nodded: "You are an amazing lady... and a mother."

Ms. Mueller just smiled and said, "I don't care about that man anymore. I just hope that the child can live his own life and not be bound by the sins of his biological father. If you don't mind, I have a request."

Li You nodded to indicate that it was okay, so Mueller turned to look at his child and asked, "Jack, now you can say goodbye to the past. Tell me, what kind of life do you want to live? What I want to know is what you think from the bottom of your heart, not the responsibilities that come with Wesker's past."

Jack was also stunned, but facing his mother's gaze, he thought about it and said firmly: "I will continue to fight as a member of the anti-biochemical warrior."

He immediately added: "This is not out of a sense of responsibility. Wesker... that man gave me life and talent. Although he has disappeared from this world, bioterrorism has not been eradicated, and many people are still suffering from it."

"I know you might want me to choose to be an ordinary person again, but since I have a gift, I hope to use it to help more victims, even if it's just to... prevent more people from experiencing the pain of separation from their loved ones."

At the end of his speech, there was no longer any confusion in Jack's eyes. The brilliance in his eyes made it impossible to tell that he was just a sixteen-year-old boy.

Mueller also smiled. Her previous words did have the intention of inducing Jack to choose a peaceful life, but in fact, she was testing his determination and ideas.

Hearing the satisfactory answer, Mueller nodded with relief: "Well, since you think so, then it's good. I will always support you, my Jack."
