Game world survival starts from Resident Evil 2 - Chapter 564

c558 Horned Man, the Witch

The Laofu Ancient Ruins, located in the north of the entire Shadow Land, are ancient ruins located on a plateau.

Its area and scale are very impressive. The remaining ancient buildings and lands have many marks of ancient times.

——These are what Li You heard from Ampah. After interpreting the ritual scroll and confirming that he was on the same front with Li You and his team, Ampah immediately took action, investigated the information of the Laofu Ancient Ruins in the Species Repository, and shared it with Li You.

“But unfortunately, I didn’t find any records about the location of the Sealed Tree, so I can only go to the ancient ruins and explore slowly.”

In the small room on the first floor of the Species Repository, Ampah, who had joined Li You, stroked his beard and said.

“But at least, I have determined the route to the ancient ruins, so I can start from here.”

In a corner of the first floor of the Species Repository, there is indeed a small elevator, but Li You didn’t have time to explore the Shadow City area before, so he didn’t go here.

“I have one last thing to do here, please go ahead.”

Ampah pointed out the way for Li You: “After going down there, please look for the bridge leading to the ancient ruins. Ms. Leida and the others are still trying to challenge Mr. Messermo, but it should be the last time. They will catch up next, so you all need to hurry up.”

At this point, he emphasized meaningfully: “No matter what you see on the road, please stay calm and prioritize the most important things.”

Li You: “Oh?”

Ampah didn’t mean to explain, so Li You didn’t ask more. With the character of this veteran, he can’t tell riddles about things he can say, and the rest are things he can’t say.

“Are you okay?” Li You still asked, and Ampah said: “My subordinates are on their way here, you don’t have to worry.”

Since that’s the case, Li You didn’t waste time and took his regrouped companions to set off.

Take the elevator down to the bottom and then go forward along the corridor. There are no enemies on this road.

Li You was still a little strange, but when he turned the corner of the corridor and came to the platform on the side, an extremely uncomfortable scene appeared in front of him.

On the first floor below, there was a church hall, which was open and square. It was originally supposed to be used for worship. But at this moment, it was filled with large and small pottery pots and beds arranged on the left and right.

On those beds and in the entire hall, there were scattered corpses with only barely human forms left.

Those corpses were flesh-red, and the main body could still be seen as human, but there was a large mass of swollen flesh on the torso, like a hyperplastic tumor.

Most of these corpses had already decayed and stank, and therefore, there were flies circling in the hall, buzzing incessantly.

“What is this…?”

Aiji and V beside Li You were obviously stimulated, and their faces were very ugly. Not to mention the two of them, Li You felt a little uncomfortable, and only Yuzu didn’t react much.

“Li You… What’s going on here? And what are those things walking around?” V subconsciously covered her mouth and asked.

She pointed at some strange creatures wandering in the hall below. Those creatures have pot bodies, but they have hands and feet and can move freely.

Li You knew these small pots with stone hands and feet. They are called living pots. They are essentially magical creatures and one of the characteristics of the border.

The bodies of living pots are filled with human flesh and blood. They are born for this, but they are kind by nature, have their own villages, and do not fight with the world.

Among the tribes of living pots, there are also huge “warrior pots” that can become the contents of warrior pots after death, and even some people pursue them.

“It should be like this, but…”

Li You briefly explained the magical creatures of living pots, but the scene in front of him made it difficult for him to convince his companions.

“In addition, I have never seen the creatures with a big pot on their heads but a pair of fleshy legs.”

Li You has never heard of this strange creature. It should be a new enemy in the DLC.

However, when talking about them, Li You noticed that the mark left by Melina on his wrist was vaguely fluctuating, but it did not appear.

Li You was still wondering, but suddenly heard a strange scream. It turned out that in front of the corridor, an unknown enemy he just mentioned discovered them and rushed over with bloody legs!

“Although I don’t know their origins, anyway, I will get rid of them first!”

Li You naturally would not be polite. He immediately took action, and the spiral sword turned into a spear and stabbed out, directly smashing the big pot on the creature’s head. What was exposed immediately was the bloody humanoid creature they had seen before in the hall below!

It was clearer at this distance. This creature was like a monster that was born by peeling off the skin of a living woman, and then kneading all kinds of messy flesh and blood into a ball and forcibly connecting them to their bodies. You can also vaguely see the face of a woman with a bare body.

And the pot girl opened her mouth as hard as she could, screaming while reaching out to grab Li You!

“Swish——”

Li You reacted quickly, and with a flash of his knife, he cut the body of the Hu girl in half. He acted swiftly and directly cut off the head of the Hu girl, causing her to die almost without pain.

Looking at the bloody body lying in front of him, Li You frowned.

Aiji and V also looked at it, and Aiji couldn’t help asking: “Could it be that these pot girls are… the experimental subjects of the Messermo Army?”    It’s not surprising that Aiji is so suspicious. After all, the Messermo Army once carried out a brutal massacre on the Horned People, almost to the point of extinction. If you follow this line of thought, then maybe these pot girls are the Horned Women they captured, and then used as some kind of experimental material, and finally became this miserable appearance.

V seemed to agree with Aiji’s guess, but Li You returned to the second-floor platform just now, looked down at the hall, and said: “It doesn’t look like it. This place is more like… the church is trying to heal these people than a laboratory.”

Aiji and V were stunned: “Heal?”

Li You nodded, and what came to his mind was the healing church in Bloodborne.

“Of course, I can’t be sure, but I don’t think it’s like that. Maybe it’s as you guessed…”

“No.”

Surprisingly, it was Yuzu who spoke.

Staring at by the surprised eyes of Li You and the other two, Yuzu looked at the hall below and said, “This is not a laboratory, but a ward.”

“How did you…” V said subconsciously, but then reacted and swallowed the second half of the sentence. Yuzu said, “The taste is completely different from the laboratory.”

“…Is that so.” Li You looked down again, “Since you said so, it should be correct. But if it is to cure them, how did these people become like this…”

“——Let me explain.”

Another voice sounded, and this time it was Melina’s figure that appeared beside everyone.

“Meimei? Do you know the origin of these people?”

Melina seemed to have given up correcting Li You’s address to her, and said directly: “These people are not horned people, but… witches.”

She squatted down and stretched out her hand, as if she wanted to touch the corpse on the ground: “They are my mother… the same clan as Queen Marika.”

Li You: “!!!”

The same clan as Queen Marika! ?

“This is… a long time ago.” Melina slowly stood up and looked at Li You and his group.

“In the past, Queen Marika had not yet become a god. She was just an ordinary person born in the witch village.

“But the witch tribe has been persecuted by the horned people for many years. The horned people regard witches as unclean things. They will capture witches, tear their skin, and seal them in a big pot together with the severed limbs of sinners. The horned people believe that through this ritual, they can be reborn as “good people.” ”

Melina’s story was not emotional. She just narrated the history very calmly, but the first sentence she said was shocking, which shocked Li You, and Aggie and V were horrified.

“The ‘pot girl’ you just defeated is the witch who was sealed in the pot and survived. The witch has a special physique and strong adaptability, but it also brings them endless pain. ”

Melina continued to narrate: “This should be the healing church established by the Messermo army. They must hope to study ways to cure these witches, but… the result is obvious. ”

“In this land, there is a place called Bonnie Village, which is one of the settlements of the Horned People and the starting point of this behavior.

“Those Horned People who perform this ritual are called ‘Great Pot Masters’. They wear caterpillar masks and use huge kitchen knives to tear the flesh and limbs of the victims and seal them in pots.

“The ‘Living Pots’ at the border actually originated from them. It’s just that Queen Marika changed the nature of the pots, so that these pots are no longer instruments of punishment, but can breed real new life. ”

Melina’s explanation ended here. She did not describe the cruelty of the horned man in detail, but the corpse of the pot girl in front of her became the best proof.

Aggie couldn’t help but cover his mouth. It was hard to imagine that kind of torture. The knowledgeable V also frowned, and there was a faint murderous aura on his body. Even Yuzu, who had been standing quietly, gently touched the dragon-hunting axe on his back, and seemed to have some ideas.

Li You remembered the scene when he first met the horned man under Leida’s command: “… So at that time, the badge had such a big reaction because of this.”

He naturally would not forget that the horned man Avenger wore the so-called caterpillar mask on his head.

Li You suddenly let out a long sigh: “I am now completely disappointed with that Messermo.”

Everyone, including Melina, looked at him with doubts in their eyes.

Melina paused, and then said: “It doesn’t matter if you don’t believe what I said. After all, these are all history from a long time ago. We should focus on…”

“I believe it, I believe it very much. “Li You interrupted her, “I said I was disappointed, not because I think he did it all, but because he is too conservative.”

Everyone: “?”

With a “clang”, Li You directly pulled out the Undead Sword, and the veins on his forehead throbbed slightly, “How can I be soft-handed against a beast like the Horned Man? He is still too saintly.”

“Sorry, everyone, I remembered that there is a piece of garbage to be dealt with upstairs. I will be there soon. Please wait.”

Li You said and was about to go back.

Everyone was shocked and hurriedly grabbed him: “Don’t be impulsive!”

“Let me go–! ! “
