Game world survival starts from Resident Evil 2

Chapter 191: Inner Court, Begin Action

At midnight.

Li You, Genichiro, and Isshin Ashina himself stood at the fence beside the watchtower, looking at the city in the distance.

From this location, you can also see most of the city.

Yixin was wearing a simple white robe, holding the night vision binoculars given by Li You in his hand. After watching the movement at the tiger's mouth staircase for a while, he put it down, snorted and said:

"The rats in the inner palace couldn't help but get excited as soon as they heard that I was ill!"

Li You saw that his left hand was subconsciously stroking the katana at his waist, and he knew that he couldn't help but want to kill the mouse again, so he quickly dissuaded him:

"It's okay. The inner government army is only a small force that has sneaked into the city. There is no need for you to take action, old man."

Yixin said: "Hey! I know, this is to cover up the news that I have recovered. Don't worry, Li You, I won't take action."

Genichiro also nodded: "Only by convincing the inner army that my grandfather is still seriously ill can we bring in their forward troops and annihilate them in one fell swoop!"

Yi Xin glanced at Li You and said, "Having said that, Li You, your plan is really bold!"

Li You said: "When it comes to the art of war, I am far inferior to Kame Genichiro. I just put forward some immature ideas, and he turned them into actual plans."

After almost collecting all the elite members of the Snake Eyes clan, both Li You and Xian Yilang felt that it was time to do something, and they could not always be passive defensive.

After the discussion between the two, Xian Yilang adopted and optimized the method proposed by Li You to lure the snake out of the hole, blocked the news of Ishin's recovery, and asked Li You's Luanbo people to disguise themselves and pretend that Isshin was on his deathbed. The information was passed on.

At the same time, they also increased their efforts to hunt "rats" again.

All these actions are sending a message to the inner government that Ashina Isshin is dying, and Ashina is doing his best to cover up the matter.

Of course, after receiving such information, the inner government would not be able to resist conducting reconnaissance.

So, taking advantage of the darkness, a large number of inner ninjas, such as Guyingzhong and Chibei Ranbo, were sent out, and even a Chibei team followed closely behind.

Whether they are ninjas or red soldiers, their mission is to sneak into Ashina Castle and find out whether Ashina Isshin is dead or alive.

And this plays into the intentions of Li You and Xian Yilang.

In the game, there are generally two ways for inner ninjas to sneak in, namely Otemon and White Snake Shrine.

But no matter which way you go to sneak in, you have to pass through the city and pass the Tiger's Mouth Stairs.

But the current ladder to the tiger's mouth is completely like a dragon's pond and a tiger's den to the inner ninjas.

Even if there are two warrior generals and their troops stationed inside the Tiger's Pass at all times, Li You also specially placed a small number of the Snake Eyes clan members here, including the clan leader Bai Qiu himself.

Bai Qiu seems to be much younger than Bai Teng, so he seems to be more impulsive. But because of this, she is also stubborn and will never change what she is determined to do. Now she really follows Li Youyan's advice.

So Li You sent her to garrison here.

The Snake Eyes tribe led by Bai Qiu, with their eyes that could see through all hidden movements, made the inner ninjas who tried to sneak in miserable.

The Guyings and Luanbo were beaten while hiding in the bushes, beaten while squatting behind the rubble, and beaten while hanging on the edge of a cliff. They were beaten by bullets until they doubted their lives.

And for some reason, Ashina's party actually demolished all the buildings in front of the tiger's mouth stairs to the ground. After getting closer, they couldn't even find a hiding place!

As a result, most of the inner ninjas were blocked from the tiger's mouth stairs.

After arriving at the back, the leader of the Gu Yingzhong was alarmed by the Snake Eyes tribe. He also led a few elites to break through and rush into the tiger's mouth ladder to kill the Snake Eyes people.

Who would have known that Li You had already arranged for the monks from Mishan Academy to closely guard the Snake Eyes tribe. With the title of Ninja Hunters, they relied on their numerical superiority and coordination from near and far to use their cross spears to kill and injure more than half of the Lone Shadows, forcing them to retreat.

Even if Li You hadn't wanted to keep the unknown leader of the Lone Shadows for questioning, he could have sent him away with a long-range shot.

After the long-range forceful killing failed, the commander of the Inner Palace side became angry and sent out a small group of elite Inner Palace red soldiers to shoot at the Snake Eyes with their firearms.

Among the internal red troops, the most widely used is a long-barreled firecracker that is held by a single person and looks a bit like a grenade launcher or even an RPG.

There is even a real-life prototype of this weapon, called a "stick fire arrow", which consists of a gunpowder-filled launch tube and a fire arrow that flies out and explodes.

However, in reality, although this kind of firearm is quite powerful, its accuracy is very problematic. However, when the Chibei Musketeers held it, they hit it accurately.

This is not surprising. After all, in the world of Sekiro with extraordinary power, it is very reasonable that technical deficiencies can be made up for by the quality of individual soldiers.

The same principle actually applies to the Snake Eyes clan. The most common members of the Snake Eyes clan use a single-barreled fire door gun with a short blade tied to the front end. The technology is even more backward than the stick fire arrow. It should have nothing to do with accuracy. But in their hands, it can have an effect close to that of a sniper rifle.

As for the shotgun Snake Eyes, the iron cannon Snake Eyes, and even the two clan leaders Bai Teng and Bai Qiu, there is no need to talk about their shooting skills...

I think back when Li You was pioneering Sekiro, he was beaten by the Snake Eyes clan members at the Iron Cannon Fortress until he doubted his life. I believe there must be many friends who have had similar experiences.

So now, after moving the Snake Eyes tribe to the Tiger's Mouth Staircase and creating the most suitable combat environment for them, it is now the turn of the inner government to taste the power of the Snake Eyes Iron Cannon.

"emission!"

"Bang--!!"

Under Bai Qiu's order, the Snake Eyes clan members fired in unison, and the hot metal projectiles streaked across the night sky with a bright trajectory, flying towards the Red Army team.

Although these team members were all strong men with high levels of energy cultivation, such a dense barrage still forced them to retreat behind a broken wall to avoid the attack.

As for counterattack, they never thought about it.

The stick fire arrows they used were similar to grenades, and they had obvious parabolas after being shot. From their position, which was obviously far lower than the enemy, it was destined to be impossible to hit.

Moreover, the shooting point occupied by the Snake Eyes tribe was planned by Li You himself and asked by Yuzi to build it.

It's easy to say, Li You asked Youzi to use the waste materials obtained from demolishing the building to strengthen the gate tower of Hukou Stairs.

In addition to reinforcing the gate, Yuzi also transformed the hole-in-the-hole second floor, as well as the small building that you have to turn back from the leaderless side in the game, into high-protection firepower points.

Snake Eyes are behind these positions, safely outputting.

Coupled with the condescending terrain advantage, it is completely in an invincible position.

"Tiger cannon ready-!"

Following Bai Qiu's order again, the two iron cannon Snake Eyes squatted down, raised the barrels in their hands, ignited the gunpowder, and fired the explosive projectiles in the barrels.

"boom--!!"

The two projectiles drew a dazzling parabola in the air, and then fell towards the Red Army Musketeers at the end of the tiger's mouth stairs!

"Get out of the way——!!"

Following the shouts of the leader, the Chibei Musketeers dispersed one after another, evading each other and finally not being affected by the explosion.

But in order to avoid the bombardment, they had to withdraw from the remaining broken wall, so other Snake Eyes people seized the opportunity and concentrated fire on them!

"Bang--!!"

Under the concentrated fire of more than a dozen Snake Eyes clan members, this group of red soldiers armed with advanced firearms were beaten to pieces before they had time to show their power, and only a few managed to escape.

Another defeat finally made Commander Chibei understand that a strong attack was impossible.

Ashina came prepared this time.

Commander Chibei, who was wearing a red armor, had a sullen face. After giving the order to postpone the attack and be on guard, he returned to the rear, where they occupied a relatively complete watchtower.

Here, the leader of the Solitary Shadows, Gunzu Masachō, and the tall white-haired ninja were waiting for him.

He looked at the two intelligence officers and asked rudely: "What's going on? Doesn't it mean that Ashina's military equipment is empty, the personnel are insufficient, and there is not much resistance at all? How can this tiger's mouth staircase be so heavily guarded? "

Zhengchang also looked at the white-haired owl, who frowned and looked through the window at the tiger's mouth stairs in the distance and said:

"Judging from Ashina's original situation, they really shouldn't have much resistance. Those who use muskets over there are not Ashina, but the Snake Eyes clan living in the Iron Cannon Fortress."

"It's just that they had nothing to do with Ashina originally, but for some reason this time, they actually participated in the war..."

Commander Chibei interrupted unceremoniously: "I don't need to listen to reasons! Just tell me, how to solve this problem?"

The owl is silent.

The gunman Azizumasa on the side glanced at him, came out to smooth things over and said: "Abas, there is no need to worry too much. The Tiger's Pass Stairs is so heavily guarded. It is obvious that Ashiteru must have transferred most of his defense forces here to guard the city. It must be empty.”

"Tachizu has successfully sneaked into the city before, and I have also sent a signal for him to reply. I think we will receive his first-hand information soon."

After hearing this, Commander Chibei's face relaxed a little: "We, Tai Tozu, one of the leaders of the Gu Ying Sect... Okay, let's wait for news about him for the time being."

Masacho nodded: "Don't worry, Tai Tozu will not let us down."

Inside Ashina Castle, outside the abandoned dungeon.

Tai Tozu's hands and feet were bound and tied to a wooden frame. A special iron frame was inserted into his mouth to prevent him from biting his tongue or taking poison.

The interrogators sent by Genichiro are torturing him and asking for information.

But no matter how much the interrogator tried to intimidate and induce him, or how he changed the punishment, Tai Daozu refused to speak.

The surrounding hawks and soldiers both hated and admired him.

At this time, footsteps were heard outside the open space. Li You and Xian Yilang came together, and Ai Ji followed them.

Genichiro took one look at the situation at the scene and asked directly: "Are you still unable to find out anything?"

The hawks who were in charge of the interrogation knelt in front of Genichiro and lowered their heads in shame.

Genichiro glanced at the hanging Tachibashi and snorted coldly: "You're quite brave!"

Li You walked up to him, patted his face and said, "Hey, brother, wake up."

"Can you hear me? Very good. Then listen to my words and take action quickly. Otherwise, if you force me to use the last resort, the scene will be ugly."

Tai Tozu just gave him a cold look without any expression at all.

Having just experienced severe torture, he naturally would not react to Li You's soft persuasion.

Li You sighed.

It is said that sincerity is a killer move, but why do I always end up being treated as a fool by others every time I use this killer move?

It must be the fault of this world!

Taidaozu, the leader of the Lone Shadow Clan, was captured by Wolf and others earlier.

At that time, Wolf was still searching for rats in the city, but he accidentally found Taidaozu's trace.

He seemed to have noticed that the defense strength of the abandoned dungeon had increased unprecedentedly recently, and out of curiosity, he tried to sneak in to investigate.

Fortunately, before he successfully sneaked in, he was discovered by Wolf who had been tracking him all the way.

Wolf rushed up to fight him directly, and the noise of the two men's fighting attracted the guards of the abandoned dungeon, so a samurai general, two brothers from the insect sticks of Xianfeng Temple, and a group of Ashina soldiers surrounded him.

Even so, it would be difficult to capture Taidaozu alive, but at this time, Li You had just sent Bai Qiu to Wangyue Tower and was ready to come over to take a look.

When he found that everyone was besieging Taidaozu, he almost laughed out loud.

You came to me on your own!

You are such a nice guy!

So Li You went up and fired a sensory interference bomb. Yellow smoke exploded at his feet, dizzying Taidaozu. He wanted to run, but fell to the ground.

Then he was easily captured.

This was also his good luck. Otherwise, if he had successfully sneaked in, he could have seen the appearance of the Night Demon's lair with his own eyes.

Just at this time, Li You also received the news from Genichirō that the inner court army had moved, so he rushed to Isshin's room, and Taidaozu was left to others for interrogation.

Unfortunately, he refused to speak.

Li You sighed.

In this case, there was no other way.     Li You snapped his fingers, and two men in the costumes of the Eagle Clan walked out of the abandoned dungeon.

They wore crow tengu masks and feather cloaks, but they were tall and strong, forming a sharp contrast with the ordinary Eagle Clan.

Under the strange gazes of the crowd, the two walked towards Tachiba without saying a word, then lightly lifted up the wooden frame that tied him and walked into the dungeon.

Li You and Aggie followed him in.

The people outside were a little confused, but Genichirō remained silent.

Soon, a shrill scream came from the dungeon, and the sound was obviously from Tachiba. But for everyone, it was impossible to imagine what a ninja who would rather die than surrender saw that would make such a sad scream!

Listening to the scream, the dungeon seemed to lead directly to hell!

The Ashina soldiers swallowed their saliva, and the two gunners who were originally standing guard at the door also subconsciously moved away from the dungeon entrance.

Then, Li You walked out with Aggie, and Tachiba disappeared.

He said to Genichirō: "I asked for some information... Let's go back and talk."

Genichirō nodded, didn't ask any more questions, and left with Li You.

Only the guards of the dungeon were left looking at each other, and their eyes looking at the dungeon entrance were also full of fear.

Back in the castle tower, Li You brought Edge to Genichirō's combat meeting room, where a map of Ashina Castle was placed on the long table.

Li You stretched out his hand and tapped on the map: "According to the information from Tachibashi, the leader of the Lone Shadow Clan, the spear foot, and the owl, had been hiding here before."

Genichirō looked at it and saw that it was a building in the outer area of ​​the city, so he said: "This place has been uninhabited for a long time, so it is not surprising that thieves use it to hide."

Li You said: "Now a small group of troops from the inner court have arrived at the outer area of ​​the city. They originally planned to sneak in, but they didn't expect that we turned the Tiger's Mouth Stairs into a fortress, so they exposed their tracks."

"What do you think they will do next?"

Genichirō said without thinking: "It's very simple. The inner court will send people to try to sneak in from time to time. It has happened before. If the tracks are exposed and it is really hopeless to sneak in, then they will be very Retreat quickly and wait for the next opportunity. "

Li You also nodded: "According to Taidao's memory, he also received a message asking him to report the situation in the city as soon as possible. If Taidao's feet does not reply, then this small red-armored army should evacuate before dawn, and we will have wasted so much effort. "

Xianyilang rarely made a joke: "That's because you have increased the defense of the Tiger's Mouth Stairs too much!"

Li You smiled very cooperatively, and then said: "Even so, if it is Xiao, he should still be able to find a way to sneak in."

Xianyilang's eyes flashed: "Owl... this damn traitor!"

Li You agreed with this. No matter what era, traitor guides are always the most despised.

However, Xiao's collusion with the inner government is just beneficial to his plan to lure the snake out of the hole.

So he said: "From Taidaozu's memory, Xiao is not very popular in the inner court. The only one who is willing to pay attention to his opinions is the leader of the Lone Shadow Group, the spearman, but the leader actually looks down on him."

"A sensitive person like Xiao must be able to notice this, so his cooperation with the inner court is also ulterior motives.

"If Taidaozu can send back the message, then the inner court will most likely send Xiao out to sneak into the city and gather intelligence.

"We can use this opportunity to catch Xiao!"

Owl, a traitor who knows all about the people and places of Ashina, is a big threat to Ashina. Moreover, he is an excellent ninja, and it is very troublesome to deal with him even if he comes to attack his own business.

But on the other hand, if Owl can be caught, he can also become a useful chess piece.

In addition, Owl has the highest hatred value in Li You, so in order to deal with him, Li You has also prepared multiple plans.

At this moment, the third plan can be used.

So Li You looked at his side: "Edge, please... um?"

Edge has been guarding him, but since leaving the dungeon, her face has been unhappy.

Li You also understands why she is like this. After all, it is her and the Night Demon's Nest who have obtained information from Tachiba.

Li You asked softly: "Are you okay?"

Aiji shook his head and said: "...I'm fine. I've said it before, this is just a necessary measure."

"You want to know their secret communication method, right? I didn't have time just now, I'll go back and ask."

Li You nodded and said: "Don't force it, it's okay if you don't want to."

Aiji still shook his head: "I'll go first, and I'll contact you when I have news."

She then pushed the door and left.

Xianyilang remained silent until Aiji left, then said: "Let's discuss now where to lead Xiao."

Li You had already planned this.

He pointed on the map again: "How about here?"

Xianyilang looked at it and was also stunned: "This...?"

"...It's really a good idea!"

The two looked at each other, and a smile appeared on the corners of their mouths.

What kind of expression will Xiao show at that time is really exciting.

...

On the other side, in the dungeon.

Aiji came to the Night Demon's nest and walked through the hatching pools.

After the Night Demon's Nest was upgraded once, the simple underground cave originally used to hatch Night Demons also changed.

In addition to a layer of eggshell-like film growing on the ground, a small amount of colorless transparent liquid gushed out from the inside of the pit, which seemed to be used to provide nutrition for the hatching Night Demons.

The hatching pit finally evolved into a hatching pool, although it was for one person.

At this moment, Night Demons were being bred in the twelve hatching pools, and the embryos inside had already taken a general shape.

But Edge naturally did not come to see them. Under the respectful gaze of the hatched Night Demons, Edge came to the center and core of the nest. There was an oval-shaped hatching pool on the ground here, like a biological hibernation capsule.

Through the translucent film, you can also see the sleeping person inside.

——Gu Yingzhong Tachiba.

He was soaking in the colorless liquid, and the sticky spider-like umbilical cord that bred the Night Demon embryo was connected to him, constantly transforming his body.

How to pry open the mouth of a ninja who would rather die than surrender and turned a blind eye to torture?

The most fundamental way is to directly invade his brain.

Li You used the new Night Demon Transformation function of the Night Demon's Nest, threw Tai Daozu into the transformation pool, and forced him to transform into a Night Demon.

That is why Aiji was able to extract key information from his brain.

That is why Aiji felt uncomfortable.

Fortunately, she has basically overcome the psychological shadow of the past, so she will not resist too much.

Of course, the most important thing is Li You's promise that he does not need to really transform Tai Daozu into a Night Demon just to torture him for information in this way.

Once the information is obtained, Tai Daozu will be sent on his way to end his pain.

Now, as long as he finds out the information about the communication method used by the leader of the Lone Shadow Clan from Tai Daozu's brain, he can be sent away.

Aiji shook his head, eliminated the distracting thoughts from his mind, closed his eyes, and began to communicate with Tai Daozu's heart with the ability of mental connection.

Time was limited just now, so she only read the recent and important memories of the Taidaozu. Now, in order to find out the secret communication method used by them internally, Aggie had to search for deeper memories in his mind.

Originally, Aggie was of course not interested in other messy memories, but when a memory fragment filled with flames passed by her eyes, she was stunned, and then clicked on that memory.

Then, her whole body in reality couldn't help but tremble.

After a while, Li You returned to the dungeon to check the situation.

He was mainly worried about Aggie.

"Aggie, how are you... um?"

Li You saw that Aggie lowered his head and sat behind the core of the nest, without saying a word.

And the lonely shadow Taidaozu were still soaking in the transformation pool.

Li You came to her side: "...Aggie? What's wrong?"

Aggie looked up at him, and Li You found that two lines of dark tears were sliding down her face.

When he asked, he found out that when Edge was searching Tachiba's memory, he saw the scene of him in the past... when he was carrying out a mission.

Because it was a direct reading of the memory, the cruel scene made Edge feel the same. She saw the warriors who fought desperately in a mansion, the servants and maids who fled in all directions, and even crying children.

And these people were finally pushed into the sea of ​​fire.

This made her feel for a moment that maybe this person didn't deserve sympathy at all.

Li You sighed, so that's the case.

He said to Edge: "So you think, maybe it's better to turn him into a night demon and let him accept the punishment?"

Aiji shook his head slightly: "...I don't know. After reading his memory, I felt like I was there. I really wanted him to suffer retribution. But if I really transformed him into a night demon, I would..."

Li You rubbed her hair and said, "Okay, I understand. I didn't think it through."

He didn't expect that Aiji's mental connection ability would actually lead to such side effects.

However, watching other people's memories in person does have a big impact, so much so that Aiji still can't get out of it at this time.

Li You thought about it and said, "How about this, you go back and have a nap first. Let this sword foot soak in it."

Aiji looked up: "...Hmm?"

Li You said, "The success rate of converting the perception night demon is not 100%. Since you think this guy has done a lot of evil, let's throw him here. Whether he lives or dies depends on God's will."

The upgraded nest has a very strange feature. Although the nest hatches the night demon slowly, it is very fast to convert the perception night demon. It only takes an hour in total.

However, this conversion function has a relatively long cooldown time, and can only convert one sensory night demon at a time, and the success rate is not fixed and will change according to the characteristics of the mother body.

If there are no such restrictions, then this method is probably the fastest way to build a night demon army.

These are system comments, and Edge is unaware of them.

She looked at Li You, a little stunned: "Is this... self-deception?"

Li You smiled: "Indeed, but don't forget that self-deception and double standards are excellent qualities of human beings. As long as you can get over it, it's fine."

Ai Ji was a little amused: "You really are..."

She looked at the Lone Shadow Tachiba again, thought about it, and said: "I think I figured it out. Thank you, Li You."

Li You waved his hand: "It's okay, we are all family, it should be."

Ai Ji raised his head and finally returned to his usual appearance, saying: "Okay, let's talk about business."
