Hell has invaded, but my Hextech is invincible!
Chapter 7 A narrow escape
Hextech's hand suddenly stiffened, and his body visibly paused.
"Don't worry," Wiener said, "we've already given him a sedative."
"She was given anesthesia and is already unconscious."
"It won't speak in your head."
Hextech's lips twitched.
Anesthetic? Are you kidding me?
He nodded, feigning nonchalance, and said, "Understood."
As he spoke, he picked up the little girl. She was very light, and for his current physical condition, she was no burden at all.
Big brother, you and I are both pathetic experimental subjects. I want to gain freedom.
If we cooperate, we can escape together.
Big brother, we are natural collaborators!
Emily's pitiful voice echoed in his mind, even stirring a pang of sympathy in Hextech.
But Hextech responded coldly to himself, "Stop pretending, Emily."
"Do you think I don't know what kind of person you are?"
After a moment of silence, Emily's voice rang in Hex's mind again, her tone instantly turning cold, even harsh and malicious.
+Another troublemaker, how did you know my name?+
"Get me out of here right now, or I'll tell the old woman in front of me who you are."
Her methods of tormenting men are far superior to mine.
Hextech wasn't intimidated by the threat: "Emily, if you dare tell anyone who I am, don't blame me for pulling your spine out right now."
"You should know that I mean what I say."
Emily is the partner who escaped the laboratory with Hex in the original storyline.
After the invasion of Hell, Manchester was thrown into chaos. The laboratory was also invaded by monsters, and a large number of guards fought against demons and monsters, which gave the protagonist a chance to escape.
The protagonist, after a desperate struggle, encounters Emily, who is blind and looks very pitiful, on the second basement level.
At that time, the protagonist was portrayed as a kind-hearted and compassionate person who was good to everyone. When he saw such a pitiful little girl asking him for help, he naturally spent a lot of time and effort to rescue her.
It was precisely because of this delay that Benev and his pursuers caught up, forcing the two into a frantic, hellish run.
In the early part of the story, Emily is both pitiful and considerate, which immediately won over players' favorability.
But it wasn't until she had shaken off her pursuers that her true nature was fully revealed.
As an experimental subject who can see into minds and has lived in a laboratory since childhood, Emily has endured countless malice and hardships. She likes to pretend to be innocent and pure, but in her heart she is a little devil with a sharp tongue and malice towards the world.
After her true colors were revealed, she handed Hextech over to the demon, but then changed her identity and joined the Advent Cult, almost causing the protagonist's death.
After that, she remained active among various cults, even rising to the position of a cult's holy maiden, and repeatedly clashed with the main characters.
Of course, she also spared no effort in retaliating against the United Front.
In Chapter Seven, after being given a friendly corrective punch by the protagonist and the Golden Army, she finally broke down in tears and admitted her mistake.
After all, you can't directly deal with loli characters in a game, so in the end, the protagonist can only lock them up.
Emily's abilities, once fully developed, became terrifying, comparable to Professor X.
She can delve into people's hearts and uncover private memories, and she can also use telepathy to influence how others perceive her.
Later on, they can even directly control other characters, including the protagonist's teammates, causing them to rebel and fight back against the protagonist.
This mechanism means that the stronger the team a player leads, the more severe the backlash they suffer, resulting in them being beaten so badly that they have to run away in fear when pushing through levels, making their lives miserable.
Emily was also puzzled when she heard Hex's resentful inner response.
She didn't remember ever dealing with this man, so why did he harbor such deep malice towards her?
However, at this moment, Emily has not yet joined the cult for training, and neither her abilities nor her temperament have fully matured.
She was genuinely panicked when threatened by Hextech.
+Don't do that, it's beneficial for us to cooperate, isn't it?
"That depends on your attitude, Emily," Hex replied coldly to himself.
"You tell them it will take them two seconds, or even three seconds, to kill me."
"And it will only take me less than a second to kill you."
As he spoke, he subconsciously tightened his grip on the little girl's neck.
This immediately made Emily tense.
No! I'll listen to you, Hextech!
"Don't call me big brother!" Hextech was anything but friendly.
"Nausea!"
When he first played this game, there were no walkthroughs available for the first chapter. He had to manually explore and progress through the levels, and he was almost driven away by Emily.
He even suspected that the designers of Hell Invasion might have masochistic tendencies.
The first key supporting character is set up in this way to discourage the protagonist. The protagonist is played like a fool and almost dies several times, but the other party does not show any gratitude.
Many players say that their lolicon complex has been cured after playing this game.
Hell Invasion has good gameplay and exquisite modeling. The character designs are very appealing to players, with a wide variety of characters featuring long legs and large breasts. However, the game has always remained in the second tier of popularity because there are too many treacherous and unreliable characters, and the protagonist always seems to be manipulated by various parties like a fool.
Hextech trailed at the back of the group, mentally dealing with Emily while keeping a close eye on what was happening ahead.
Ada is in danger; he must not let the other party see any flaws, and he must find an opportunity to get rid of this woman completely.
Fortunately, the group seemed eager to leave the dangerous laboratory as soon as possible, and their steps were unusually hurried.
Upon arriving at the ground floor, the laboratory's external staff were somewhat nervous. A large number of guards were already on the ground floor, with only two guards remaining at the entrance of the mansion.
Ada told Vinard, "Take the test subject with you first."
"Afterwards, Frankenstein contacted me personally."
Hex walked slowly to the entrance of the mansion. There were only two guards at the entrance, and they seemed particularly nervous because of the commotion downstairs, glancing inside from time to time.
Outside the gate was a villa garden with a wide view and very few obstructions. If I ran out now, I would easily be caught up by the people behind me.
Fortunately, the people at the door are now united, and even if they have connections with the Manchester authorities, they don't dare to openly hunt him down in the city, so he still has a chance to hide.
The problem is, this is the Upper East Side.
Where should he hide?
There is less than a day left before the gates of hell open.
What's the next step to leave the city and get out of Manchester?
Hex was deep in thought when Ada suddenly stepped up to him and asked.
"What's your name?"
Hextech's heart skipped a beat, and he blurted out a fake name: "Haitham."
"Is that so, Haytham?" Ida repeated, her tone slightly amused.
"Please come with us."
Don't agree to her request! This woman is dangerous. She may have already realized there's something wrong with your identity. Take me away immediately, get out of here right now!
Emily's voice screamed wildly in Hextech's mind.
"Shut up," Hextech thought coldly to himself.
He remained calm and said solemnly to Ada, "I will obey your orders."
This compliant reaction surprised Ada.
She then chuckled softly, her tone languid: "What an obedient and well-behaved child."
Her fingers inadvertently landed on Hex's shoulder and then stroked his chin, instantly sending shivers down Hex's spine as he forcibly suppressed his body's instinct to retaliate.
Aida is far more dangerous than Benev.
"Let's go," Ada ordered.
Hex carried Emily into the car, and as soon as they sat down, they were sandwiched between two burly men in black.
The car started, turned a corner, and entered a rather bustling neighborhood.
There weren't many vehicles on the street, and you could occasionally see horse-drawn carriages passing by.
Garden streets, steam lamps.
Every place is filled with post-Victorian landscapes.
Ada, sitting in the front seat, suddenly turned around and looked at him with a half-smile.
"Haitham, when did you join the United Front?"
Hextech remained calm, making no attempt to conceal anything: "Just now."
"You don't need to be so polite. If you want to take action, then do it as soon as possible."
Upon hearing this, the two burly men beside him instantly hardened their stance and stealthily reached for the guns at their waists.
Ada raised an eyebrow: "Since you know we've already found you."
"Why not leave immediately?"
"This only makes me more interested in your identity."
Ada rested her chin on her hand, her eyes fixed on the prey in a cage: "Which faction are you with? MI6? Or the Church?"
"Or perhaps some kind of cult?"
Hextech caught a glimpse of a stone bridge in the distance out of the corner of his eye, and a strange smile suddenly appeared on his face.
"My background may not be what you expect."
He whispered, "The old man in the mountains asked me to give you his regards."
"Nothing is true, everything is permitted."
Upon hearing "The Old Man of the Mountain" and that slogan, Ida's smile vanished instantly, replaced by utter disbelief.
"you……"
"Do it!" Hex shouted to Emily in his mind.
The next second, the burly man on the left, whose whole body was tense, suddenly had his eyes rolled back, blood flowed from his nostrils, and he froze on the spot, losing consciousness.
Hex seized the opportunity and slammed into her with all his might!
"Bang!"
The person and the car door were thrown out with the impact.
Hex held Emily tightly as he leaped off the car.
Another burly man in black behind him reacted quickly, drawing his gun and firing; the bullet grazed Hex's clothes.
Hextech crashed heavily onto the bridge pier like a rolling gourd, coughing up a mouthful of blood.
He didn't even have time to pay attention to the excruciating pain in his body, and he forced himself to jump up.
Because the car had already stopped, Ada jumped out of the car and stared at him coldly.
Hex glanced back and saw that Ada had already pulled out a specially made pocket pistol. He didn't hesitate at all.
"Bye now."
As soon as he finished speaking, he grabbed Emily and jumped into the water below the bridge with a splash.
Ida rushed to the bridge, raised her gun to the water, and looked serious.
The water was calm, and the figure of the person who had fallen into the river never surfaced.
Two other burly men rushed over, raising their guns to fire at the water, but Ada stopped them.
"Don't shoot, don't hurt Emily," she said solemnly.
Then, she glanced at the passersby who were all looking over, and her eyes darkened.
"Hurry, get out of here immediately."
After all, they are a united front without official status. Although they have collaborators in the city hall, if they cause too much trouble and attract the church's intervention, it will be a real problem.
Ida took one last look at the river.
How did that man know her background?
"Executive, what should we do next?" the burly man in black asked respectfully.
"Activate all the hidden agents and find them!" Ada said coldly.
"At all costs!"
"I want it, alive!"
