Game world survival starts from Resident Evil 2 - Chapter 632
The red-haired girl named Millicent is the “daughter of corruption”, which can also be said to be the scarlet bud.
She and her four sisters all have similar characteristics: red hair, incurable corruption, and a seemingly innate fighting spirit.
She and her sisters looked like Valkyries as they fought with swords.
Of course, the Millicent in front of her was seriously injured, and her consciousness was also confused due to the erosion of the corruption disease. Let alone fighting, she couldn’t see Li You clearly, nor could she hear what he said clearly.
But this was not a problem. Li You gently pressed her left shoulder and the magic power flowed. Millicent felt a warm light covering her body, and her consciousness immediately became clearer.
Millicent: “!”
She couldn’t hide her surprise and looked at Li You, but Li You just smiled, stood up, and thrust the spiral sword into the ground, and the campfire unfolded.
Millicent subconsciously looked towards the burning fire. There seemed to be a reassuring power in the flames, making her unconsciously want to get closer.
However, she was able to control her desires. She just glanced at the campfire, then turned to Li You again and said: “…Thank you very much for helping me. Your power… is very strange. I have never seen it before. It seems to be able to Help me resist the corruption of scarlet.”
Li You smiled and nodded. What he applied to Millicent was none other than the blessing of fire. After the spiral sword’s power level increases, the effect of flame protection becomes stronger and stronger, especially able to resist those spiritual or alien forces that conflict with the attribute of fire.
Scarlet Corruption is originally afraid of flames, so the Red Lion Army built a wall of fire to isolate Galid and Nimgofu. Even though the flames they used were special, they couldn’t compare with the flames of the Spiral Sword.
Therefore, although the scarlet corruption power in Millicent’s body is extremely powerful and profound, the flame blessing released by Li You can also temporarily suppress its influence.
“This is the protection given by my power. With this layer of protection, the scarlet corruption in your body can no longer corrode your body and consciousness.” Li You explained briefly.
Originally, in the game, to temporarily suppress Millicent’s corruption disease, one needed to complete the branch line of another NPC, the sage Gwei, defeat another veteran O’Neill in the Scarlet Corruption Swamp, and obtain the fracture from him. Only pure golden needles will do. After the golden needle was repaired by Gewei, it gained the power to suppress the corruption disease.
Of course, Li You did not miss this veteran who was corrupted by scarlet. He had knocked him down on the way here, obtained his weapons, and found the broken golden needle.
However, Li You did not go to find Gewei who was hiding in a broken house in front of Seriya Town, but came to Millicent first. As for the reason, there is more than one reason, which will be discussed later.
Millicent felt the condition of her body and nodded: “Thank you again. But I can also feel that the power of this protection will continue to decay. Now that I am by your side, I can be replenished by this flame. But if you leave, there is nothing you can do.”
Even Li You was a little surprised that Millicent, who had just escaped the influence of scarlet corruption, could clearly see the principle of flame blessing.
He didn’t deny it either: “That’s exactly it.”
Millicent looked at her broken right arm: “Thanks to your help, I temporarily regained my consciousness and remembered my mission. But in my current state, I cannot embark on the journey, nor can I Repay your kindness.”
“So, although this is very rude, please leave as soon as possible. Once this flame blessing fails, the scarlet corruption in my body will boil again, and it may affect you.”
Kara and the others looked at each other, but neither of them disliked Millicent’s straightforward character. It seemed that V particularly appreciated this style of approach. But none of them spoke. It was Li You’s intention to come to Millicent, so just leave it all to him now. This guy always has a plan.
Li You looked at Millicent, focusing on a certain keyword in what she just said: “You have remembered your mission, right? Very good!”
Before Millicent could react, a machete was handed to her hand.
“Take this.”
She subconsciously took it. The scimitar was light and dexterous. From the forging process to the feel, it was her best style. This made her stunned again.
“How did you… No, but my arm…”
“This is for you too.”
The golden prosthetic hand obtained from Riyin City was thrown over.
“You can take these as well.”
Next comes a bag of talismans, including a Winged Sword Badge that suits Millicent well, an Immunity Horn charm and a variegated necklace that increase resistance to the Crimson Corruption, and a Golden Tree Favor Talisman in the image of Queen Malika.
Millicent: “???”
“Wait, wait, why suddenly…I can’t collect so many things!”
Li You was still taking out various consumable props that could enhance resistance from his backpack, such as immune dried meat, rotten moss medicine, etc., but he stopped when Millicent stopped him.
Millicent smiled bitterly and said: “I am very grateful for your help. Really, you even brought a precious gold prosthetic hand. But this is too much and I cannot accept it.”
“Moreover, although there are many tools to enhance resistance, they can only treat the symptoms and do not help much with my symptoms. Without the protection of the flame, I will still gradually be corrupted and erode my will.”
Li You smiled and said, “You might as well put on the prosthetic hand and take this knife and try again. Oh, I’ll wait outside.”
He turned and walked out of the church, and his companions followed him.
Millison’s face, which was mostly covered by red messy hair, showed a clear puzzlement. But she felt the power of the flames covering her body, and still untied her robe and slowly put on the golden prosthetic hand.
By injecting magic and Qi into the prosthetic hand, the arm moved flexibly like her own body. Millicent’s eyes showed surprise, because this prosthetic hand was too suitable, as if it was tailor-made for her.
“… and this knife.”
Millison looked at the scimitar given by Li You again. The knife was also adjusted according to her habits. Li You seemed to know everything about her.
Looking at the knife and the golden prosthetic hand, Millicent was distracted for a moment before holding the handle, and then suddenly startled.
“What is this…!?”
…
After a while, in front of the dilapidated house in the town of Selia at the foot of the mountain.
A man in a dark red robe, with an old face but pale skin, was sitting on a simple wooden chair with a strange posture of straight back.
He spread his hands and stared at the ceiling of the dilapidated house, wondering what he was thinking.
Suddenly, footsteps were heard from outside the house. The man turned his head and saw a group of people who looked extraordinary just by their momentum coming over.
There was a mutant giant hound at the door of the dilapidated house, but this watchdog that looked like a small dinosaur didn’t even dare to bark after being glanced at by the visitor, and quietly moved to the side and sat down.
“…Huh?”
The man in the house was even more serious. Seeing that group of people walked into the broken house, he spoke first and said to the leading man: “…Oh, it’s an honor to meet you all. My name is Gwei, and in the past, people called me a sage.”
“To be honest, I have a request for all the heroes who are still strong and healthy after crossing the scarlet swamp of Ionia, please agree to it.
“I want to treat a girl, and this requires a needle that suppresses corruption. I would like to ask you to find a pure golden needle lost in the Ionian swamp.
“Of course, I won’t ask you to work for nothing. As long as you agree to my request. I am willing to tell you what secrets are hidden in the town of Selia over there.”
He hasn’t finished this long paragraph yet, and his companions started to complain wildly in the mental link.
Edge: “Here we go again. This is the same way of speaking as when an NPC in a game issues a task.”
V: “People in this world seem to be quite weird. They either don’t listen to others or have various mental problems.”
Kara: “…You’re right. That’s true.”
Li You: “Stop chatting. It’s bothering me.”
On the surface, of course, everyone didn’t react at all. They just listened to Gwei’s words quietly.
Then, Kara said: “The secret of Selia Town? Isn’t it just lighting three candlesticks to unlock the seal of the town?”
Gwei: “!”
V took out a huge magic wand inlaid with dark purple pyroxene: “There’s nothing good in the seal. This thing is a little useful, but it’s not suitable for me.”
Gwei: “!!”
Edge said: “This so-called secret is too simple. You can figure it out with a little brainpower, right? Do you really need someone to explain it to you?”
Yuzu nodded in approval.
Li You: “… Then you haven’t seen a golden dragon claw key with a pattern mark that no one has been able to solve for thousands of years. And don’t talk about it, or the old man will be depressed.”
Ge Wei (eyes rolled back): “…”
“Hey, old man.” Li You stepped forward and took out two broken golden needles from his backpack, “Is this what you are looking for?”
Ge Wei: “!!!”
He finally couldn’t help it, and took a closer look at Li You and his group, and then said: “Heroes, I am really amazed. It seems that I, an old guy, can’t keep up with the times. The name of “sage” can also be removed… Hehe.”
No one else responded, and Yuzu nodded again.
Ge Wei: “…”
“Hehe, don’t mind it.” Li You tried to smooth things over, “My companion just likes to nod his head when he has nothing to do. It’s good for the body to move the cervical spine.”
Yuzu shook his head when he heard it.
Reading the error-free version! 6=9+Shu_Bar first published this novel.
“…Anyway, I am somewhat interested in what you just mentioned.” Li You ignored Yuzi this time and asked as if nothing had happened, “You said, you want to save people?”
Gwei also suddenly had a tacit understanding with Li You, as if he didn’t see Yuzi shaking his head, and answered seriously: “Yes.”
“There is a girl named Millicent. She is in a church on a cliff after passing through the town of Selia. She suffers from corruption and is bedridden there. A group of ignorant bad bugs take good care of her and treat her… No, treat her corruption as a god.
“Don’t you think this is too absurd? The girl has no reason to be treated like this.
“Millicent’s corruption is an incurable disease, and we can only find a way to suppress it. With the golden needle you brought, she will be temporarily unaffected by corruption.
“So, I would like to ask you to hand over the golden needle to me. It has broken, and there is no point even if you keep it in your hand. In return – since you already know the secret of Seliya Town – I am willing to give the “Eternal Descendants” Ceria’s lost magic is available to all of you.”
Li You nodded: “I think it’s okay. But I’m a little curious, why do you care so much about that girl?”
A smile appeared on Gewei’s old face: “Haha… do you think it’s incredible? Why do I care so much about that girl.”
“It’s actually very simple. Millicent is a child I picked up and raised. When that girl was still in her infancy, I picked her up in the swamps of Ionia. She is one of my lovely daughters.
“…It’s just that the corruption disease destroys memory, so she doesn’t remember me anymore. But even so, I still want to help her suppress corruption, so that she can embark on a journey and face her own destiny…”
Gewei spoke with great emotion and sincerity. Even if Aiji used his telekinesis, he couldn’t find any sign that he was lying.
Li You also knew that what he said was true. However, at a certain key point, the same word he and Millicent said did not mean the same thing.
But Li You remained calm, just nodded and handed over the broken golden needle: “I see. I am willing to help you, here.”
“Thank you very much for your kindness.” Gewei took the needle, “Please wait a moment, I will repair it now.”
Gewei held the two pieces of golden needles in his palm, injected his magic power, and let the golden needles join together from the broken parts. Then he added a drop of his own crimson blood and soaked the joints of the golden needles.
“…Okay, that’s good.” Gewei held up the golden needle. Although he didn’t use much magic power and only squeezed out a drop of blood, Gewei felt as if he had just fought all night, sweating profusely and his breath was weakened.
“Please… give this golden needle to Millicent. She is in the Church of Corruption on the hill behind Selia Town.”
“This is the pure golden needle.” Li You took it, looked at it carefully, and then suddenly smiled: “The blood you added in it turned out to be the source of the power of the Corrupt Familiars? It was really deliberate.”
Gewei: “!!!You…!?”
But before he could say another word, a flame burst out from the ground and suddenly enveloped him!
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!”
Gewei let out a painful scream, and the scream immediately turned into a sharp insect chirp.
Behind Li You, there was no one there, but suddenly a transparent figure appeared. The figure fluctuated violently. He wanted to get closer, but was grabbed by Yuzi next to him.
And “Sage” Gewei struggled to utter his last words while being burned by the flames: “Millicent… bloom, bloom into the most beautiful scarlet flower of corruption…!!”
As soon as these words were spoken, the transparent figure behind him was shaken, but he no longer resisted.
After Gewei finished speaking his last words, his clothes, flesh and blood were all turned into ashes in the fire, revealing his true face – a pale and twisted giant insect, the appearance of a corrupt dependent.
The exposed insect body was quickly burned away by the flames. Gewei was actually possessed, but just like Shapolili, he was caught by Li You and had no place to run even if he wanted to.
In the flames that trapped Gewei, there was an inconspicuous little bloody dragon swimming. Li You had already put it in. Gewei’s soul had been swallowed into his belly by it, and he died completely.
The rising flames dissipated immediately, and except for Gewei himself, it did not burn anything in the broken house, including the broken wooden chair where Gewei had been sitting.
And then, the transparent figure also revealed its true form – naturally it was Millicent.
At this time, she had her red hair tied into a short ponytail, her right arm was a golden prosthetic hand, and the scimitar given to her by Li You was slung around her waist.
She looked at the chair where Gewei was sitting before and couldn’t help but ask Li You: “What on earth is this…”
“As you can see, ‘Gwei’ is a false identity. He is actually the incarnation of the Corrupt Families. He is a conspirator who wants to use you and your sisters to bring about the complete arrival of the Corrupt Goddess.” Li Youyou.
“The goddess of corruption…the Valkyrie, Marlenia?” Millicent couldn’t help but press her head, “But I do have some remaining memories. This person raised me…”
“That is indeed true.” Li You nodded, “But it does not conflict with his purpose. Except for the final arrangement for your ending, he prepared everything else according to your wishes, so that you would have no doubts Follow the path He has destined for you.”
Millicent was silent for a moment.
She looked at the golden needle in Li You’s hand again: “Then this thing is…”
“That’s what I told you before I brought you down, another method that can suppress your corruption.” Li You nodded, “But now it seems that there is no problem with the golden needle itself, as long as the manipulation done by Gewei is removed. That’s it.”
As he spoke, Li You ignited a flame in his hand, and the flame wrapped the golden needle. Under the calcination, a drop of dark blood was quickly extracted from it.
Li You blew gently, and the flames fluctuated, completely evaporating the drop of blood. The real “pure” golden needle fell back into his hand, and he handed it to Millicent.
“With this, the knife I specially prepared is no longer needed.” Li Youyou said, “Just think of it as insurance just in case.”
The knife given to Millicent, Li You not only found it in a cave, but also brought over the weapon she originally used in the game. Before that, he also specially found Xiugu and Andre, and brought it from A trace of flame from the spiral sword was separated and injected into the knife.
In this way, the knife can continuously replenish the power of Fire Blessing for Millicent who uses it to maintain its effect.
Of course, there is a price, that is, Millicent needs to kill the enemy in battle so that the knife can absorb the enemy’s magic power and the runes dropped from them to keep the flame burning in the knife.
This was originally thought up by Li You, a method that allowed Millicent to suppress the corruption disease without resorting to pure golden needles. Although it was inconvenient, it was at least effective.
But now, after clarifying the problem of pure gold needles, this step is no longer needed.
Millicent took the golden needle and looked at it, then looked at Li You and said very solemnly: “No. In any case, I thank you for your help. If there is anything I can do for you, please feel free to say, I will never refuse.”
Hearing this, Li You immediately showed a smile of success: “You said you would never refuse, right? Very good! Then come to a place with me!”
Kara: “…Master showed that villainous smile again.”
V: “I always feel like his mental state is getting weirder and weirder?”
Millicent was confused: “…?”
“…Okay, just say it.”
