Game world survival starts from Resident Evil 2

When the echo of the world crossing faded in his ears, Li You knew that he had arrived at his destination.

He opened his eyes and saw a town with a strong classical style.

Small buildings made of plain marble were neatly arranged, reflecting golden light under the gradually setting sun. The brick-paved streets were spacious, clean, and straight, which was pleasing to the eye.

Among the houses of the town with a unified style, there were also a few conspicuous landmark buildings, such as the retro clock tower and the theater with a round dome that was vaguely visible in the distance.

However, the most eye-catching thing was the huge black stone tablet standing near the center of the town.

The stone tablet was square and integrated, with an astonishingly large size, and the top pointed directly to the sky, with strange dark golden lines on the surface of the tablet.

This city and this stone tablet let Li You know that he must have arrived.

[Ding! ]

[Congratulations! ]

[You have successfully entered the game world, and your current location: City of Destiny. 】

【After contacting the residents of this world, rewards will be drawn. 】

The City of Destiny is the name of this town. It can also be called Fortuna or Fortuna, with little difference.

This small town is the main stage of the story of Devil May Cry 4.

However, looking at the towering black stone tablet in the town, Li You was slightly surprised: "Is this thing already in the city now?"

He played Devil May Cry 4 too early and did not carefully understand the settings behind it, so even though his thinking ability is no longer like that of humans, many details are still unclear.

"... Forget it, let's get down to business now and find a way to confirm the time."

In short, the place is correct, but the question is how far away from the main plot of Devil May Cry 4 is now?

With such doubts, Li You looked around and found that he seemed to have landed on the edge of the town this time.

He was standing on the top of a small building at the moment, looking down, just in time to have a panoramic view of the entire street here. The classical town buildings started from his position and extended forward; and then, they were outside the town, and the retro city walls separated the outside world.

However, it was a little strange that within Li You's field of vision, there was no one on the streets of the town. From time to time, suppressed voices and activities could be heard in the residential buildings, but every household had their curtains drawn tightly, and there was no intention of showing up.

"Although it is indeed a very confusing question where so many residents went in the game, there must be a lot of people in the city according to the setting."

Li You thought, "So there is no one now, is the cult doing activities? Or..."

He thought about it and decided to walk into the interior of the City of Destiny first and go to the theater over there to see if there are any performances.

If there are, then his previous problem will be solved.

Li You immediately moved his feet and was about to rush over there. However, just as he started, his sensitive perception caught a cry from a distance.

"Ah--!!"

The momentum under his feet suddenly stopped, and Li You looked back.

Outside the city, three men in white robes, hoods, and holding unique long swords were protecting a group of children and running towards the city.

Chasing behind these people were a group of monsters that looked like they were made of sacks, with ragged and patched bodies, patches of various colors all over their bodies, funny heads, and some arms or legs replaced with curved metal sickles.

These strange creatures that looked like rag dolls turned out of a trash can are the most common enemies in the Devil May Cry world, demons.

Of course, these scarecrows are just lower-level demons, so they look all over the world, and those powerful demons are still very handsome.

Although they are only lower-level demons, the number of them that appear is quite large. Li You can see with a simple scan that there are about forty scarecrows here.

"With so many demons, can those few people handle it?"

Li You also knew the three sword-wielding men in white robes. They are the Knights of the Demon Sword Cult.

Speaking of this, we have to mention the worldview of Devil May Cry.

In the Devil May Cry world, there are the human world and the demon world. The human world is not much different from the earth, but the demon world is full of powerful and brutal creatures - demons.

Two thousand years ago, the emperor of the demon world, Mondes, was preparing to invade and conquer the human world and bring humans under his rule.

However, for the demons, weak humans have almost no other use except providing flesh and soul as bait. Once he really invades the human world, it is conceivable what will happen to the defenseless humans.

At this time, the one who stepped forward was the right-hand man of the Demon Emperor, the magic swordsman Sparta.

Sparta sympathized with humans, so even though he was a general of the Demon Emperor and had made great contributions in the battle of Mondes to unify the Demon World, he chose to abandon the Demon Emperor and resist the Demon World army alone, and finally even defeated and sealed the Demon Emperor.

Since then, Sparta has settled in the human world and used his own power to cut off the entrance between the Demon World and the Human World.

He also dispersed his power into three magic swords, namely the legendary magic sword Sparta, the great sword Rebellion, and the Japanese sword Yan Mo Dao.

More than 30 years ago, Sparta fell in love with the human woman EVA and married her, and gave birth to twins. The elder brother Vergil and the younger brother Dante inherited Yan Mo Dao and Rebellion respectively.

Later, Sparta disappeared inexplicably, and his family suffered a dramatic change... This is also the beginning of the Devil May Cry series of stories.

As for the city in front of him, the city of destiny, Fortuna, it is said that it was once the territory of Sparta in the Middle Ages. The local residents worshipped Sparta as a god, and from this, the "Magic Sword Cult" was derived, and the cult managed everything in the city.

The three white-robed sword-bearing men are the Knights of the Magic Sword Cult, warriors who exist to fight against demons.

But then again, even if the scarecrow is a lower-level demon, it is impossible for only three Knights of the Cult to fight against so many, unless they are the protagonists of the game...

Sure enough, just when Li You thought of this, he heard a scream, and the right shoulder of the Knight of the Cult standing on the side was slashed by the scimitar of a scarecrow demon, and blood spurted out instantly. He staggered and almost fell.

Fortunately, the knight in the middle seemed to be stronger. He immediately raised his sword to support and forced back the demons that rushed up, while shouting: "Josh! Go to the side to cover!"

The injured Josh did not show off his strength. He gritted his teeth and changed his position, and this man pushed forward.

It was obviously difficult for him to deal with the enemy that was originally responsible for two people alone, but he grabbed the sword in his left hand and gathered his strength. His right hand twisted the handle hard like turning the throttle of a motorcycle, and the "sword" that looked more like a straight knife spit out wisps of fire from the jet outlet at the handguard!

As the fire lit up, the speed of the knight's sword swinging suddenly increased, and he swung away four scarecrow demons!

The demon in front was bounced away at once, but the knight seemed a little overwhelmed after swinging the previous blow, and his arm fell down immediately.

And behind him, more scarecrows were still rushing!

"——It's time to get the mission."

After watching the battle on the roof for a while, Li You decided to take action.

He observed the situation mainly to determine the combat effectiveness of the scarecrow demon and the Knight of the Order. After all, the combat effectiveness level of the Devil May Cry world is difficult to tell because of the confusion in the early settings. If the box is stacked by force, the protagonist Dante is suspected to have a physical body to break into the universe, and even the upper limit reaches the multi-dimensional level.

So Li You certainly can't be particularly high-profile when he comes, otherwise, if this world is full of demons and monsters, he is afraid that he will be beaten up to the sky and can't come down.

Fortunately, at present, at least the combat effectiveness of the lower-level demons and Knight of the Order is not much higher than that of humans. Even if the combat effectiveness gap in the Devil May Cry world is as serious as that of the Dark Soul, he can still cope with the current situation.

Since he can cope with it, Li You will not watch the tragedy happen. The three Knights of the Order can't handle a large number of demons at a glance and are in urgent need of assistance.

What's more, Li You also saw a familiar figure among the group of children.

Why didn't she ask here first? At least nothing could happen to people.

So Li You raised his hand and reached for the Thunder Moon Shadow in the system backpack.

Just then.

A shout came from behind: "Ordinary citizens, hurry up and take shelter, don't block the road!"

The sound of footsteps running on bricks and tiles came from far away. Li You looked back and saw a young man with silver hair, wearing a black windbreaker with red lining, and an anxious face, running towards him... no, towards the crowd over there.     After shouting, he ignored Li You and rushed past him quickly.

At the moment of passing by, Li You saw clearly that he was carrying a sword that was the same as the Knight Sword of the Order, but it was obviously more than one size larger and painted with crimson dye, and he also had a unique silver pistol in his arms.

Naturally, the first time he appeared, or the moment his voice reached his ears, Li You already knew his identity.

It was the new generation of protagonists that Devil May Cry had just appeared, the mysterious boy with the unicorn arm, Nero.

Nero jumped over Li You and leaped towards the crowd!

While still in mid-air, he took out a huge silver revolver from his arms, and the gun body was actually a double-barreled structure. And Nero shouted: "Josh, get down!!"

The injured Knight of the Order subconsciously looked back, and then immediately reacted and lowered his head. At the same time, Nero had already pulled the trigger in mid-air!

"Bang--!"

Two gunshots that were almost mixed together spread out, and two bullets were fired from two muzzles closely, and the huge recoil made Nero's hand suddenly rise up!

However, Nero's shooting skills were obviously much better than Edge's. Even though the recoil of the gun was amazing, the two bullets still flew to the target accurately and hit a scarecrow demon who had just jumped up and was rushing towards Josh and the children behind him.

Li You could see clearly that the two bullets seemed to be in parallel, but they were actually one after the other. The first one shattered at the moment of impact, tearing the scarecrow's skin and leaving its defense in tatters, and the second one that followed penetrated directly!

At the same time, Li You also noticed that Nero's bullets were not infused with magic power, but were achieved by pure technology.

The scarecrow that was shot was already in tatters, and after being hit by these two shots, the whole body flew out and fell directly, and a large amount of black mist spurted out of the wound, which was the devil's blood.

Nero then landed nimbly, his left hand still holding the huge revolver, and his right hand pulled out the dark red sword on his back.

Yes, right hand.

Although Nero's hands were covered by long sleeves, it was still obvious when he drew his sword that his right hand was still human, not the devil's hand in the game.

This made Li You realize something: "Nero's right hand has not yet been demonized... Is it before the main storyline starts? It seems to be about a month?"

Li You did not study Devil May Cry IV in depth, nor did he read the background settings and official novels, so he did not know many details.

For example, he did not know that the "holy monument" in the center of the City of Destiny had existed for many years, nor did he know that Nero's greatsword was modified by himself, and he did not know when Nero's hand was demonized.

If he only watched the game, he would have thought that the black stone tablet in the city was also built by the cult, and Nero's weapon was a treasure of the cult.

That is, when he was playing Devil May Cry V in the past, he saw someone mention that Nero's devil's hand was about a month before the start of the game because he was injured in a battle with the devil and became like that, so he could guess the approximate time.

"Is it time?"

Although it is not impossible, the problem is that if a group of scarecrows can hurt Nero, then isn't this kid's initial combat power a bit low?

Not to mention Li You's confusion, with Nero joining the battle group below, the battle process has become much simpler.

Nero's dark red sword is also equipped with a device similar to the Knight Sword of the Order, but it is much more powerful when it is in operation. Every time he turns the "throttle", a blazing flame will spurt out from the back of the sword!

And of course, the propulsion force of this sword is not comparable to others. Once the sword is out, it covers nearly ten scarecrows and blows them all away!

The first few who were hit fell on the spot, and those behind were pushed far away and couldn't get up for a while. And Nero raised the gun again and pulled the trigger!

"Bang, bang, bang!!"

Perhaps to prevent the flames of the great sword from hurting the crowd, Nero deliberately distanced himself from the demon, and the remaining three knights of the Order protected the children, fighting and retreating, and moved towards the city.

And judging from Nero's fighting power, it is obvious that these scarecrows cannot hurt him.

But then... As expected, there was an accident on the battlefield.

Just when Nero and the two knights were about to kill all the scarecrows, suddenly, a dark and complicated magic circle appeared out of thin air on the ground behind the crowd protected by the injured Josh.

Then, as the dim light flashed, a new type of demon that looked like a lizard but could walk upright, equipped with a metal helmet and a small round shield, emerged from it!

The demon let out a short roar and immediately pounced on the children!

Josh discovered it and raised his sword to meet it in shock, but this lizard-like demon was not as weak as the scarecrow. Josh, who was already injured, could not resist it at all and was blown away by its claws after just one move!

Blood was splattered, and the children trembled. The only adult in the crowd, the light brown-haired girl in a white dress, protected the children under her body and closed her eyes tightly.

"Ji Liye--!!"

Nero on the side shouted suddenly, no longer caring about the scarecrow. The dark red sword in his hand spewed out flames, pushing him to rush quickly towards the crowd and the girl!

Li You upstairs had already planned to take action, but stopped when he saw this scene.

Could this be...

With the propulsion of the dark red sword, Nero rushed into the crowd and blocked the brown-haired girl.

Facing the claws of the demon lizard, Nero had no time to raise his sword to bounce away, and could only use his right arm to block it!

"Puff--"

A faint tearing sound was heard, and the claws of the demon lizard scratched a long scar on Nero's right forearm!

Nero also groaned.

"Nero!" The brown-haired girl who was protected behind him exclaimed, but Nero didn't care so much. He kicked the demon in front of him and shouted:

"Ji Liye, go! Take the children away!"

A knight of the Order came, and Josh on the side had barely stood up. It seemed that he had not been injured just now. He looked at his companions and Nero, and evacuated with the girl and the children.

However, even if he fought against the demon lizard with another knight of the Order, Nero's right hand was injured, and the device of the dark red sword was damaged because of the explosion just now, and the power was greatly reduced. The two of them were suppressed by the opponent together.

Nero pulled the trigger while resisting, but the bullet was still blocked by the opponent's iron shield. Instead, it suddenly jumped up, waved his hand, and fired the claws of his right arm like a bullet!

Nero was also shocked. He waved his sword to block, but he only blocked one claw. The other claw broke through the defense and pierced into the shoulder of the knight next to him.

That's not all. The third and fourth claws went straight to the girl and the children!

The injured Josh still wanted to resist, but it was obvious that the attack would only pierce his chest!

"Ji Liye!!" Nero shouted again.

It's not that he only has Ji Liye in his eyes, but he is mainly afraid that the claws will pierce Josh and hurt her and the children... Well, he only has Ji Liye in his eyes.

But at this moment, a figure suddenly fell from the sky and blocked everyone!

The man landed in a handsome posture, waved the object in his hand, and bounced the flying claws far away. Josh and the girl and children behind him were naturally safe and sound.

Not to mention Nero and others, even the demon lizard was stunned when he saw this intruder.

This man looked young, wearing a dark grey robe, holding an iron rod as long as his eyebrows, with spiral patterns all over the rod, and a faint flame flickering at both ends.

He stood up, carried the iron rod on his shoulders, and looked at everyone.

"Well, I'm new here, so I'm not too high-profile." Li You was quite satisfied with his appearance.

The knight of the Order who fought side by side with Nero was stunned, and subconsciously asked: "Who are you?"

Nero looked at him and seemed to remember something: "...Ordinary citizen?"

Li You smiled: "Isn't this the time to chat?"

Everyone realized that there were demons!

Fortunately, the demons seemed to have attracted the attention of this man after he appeared, and they all looked at him without attacking. And this man, under the attention of everyone, spun the long stick in his hand twice, jumped up, and pounced on the demon lizard that put Nero and his teammates in a difficult battle!

"Hah!!"

Then, they saw that the originally very difficult demon raised his shield to resist, but the man smashed the shield with a stick and pressed it to the ground. Li You raised his foot and stomped hard, crushing the demon's head!

Then, he picked up the long stick and rushed to the remaining scarecrows.

Watching him shouting and constantly clearing these lower-level demons, the three knights of the cult were dumbfounded, and they didn't even care about their own wounds that were bleeding.

Is this still a human?

Or the girl called Ji Liye by Nero came forward and bandaged their wounds urgently at this time.

Nero was the same, staring at Li You step by step, and almost didn't notice that Ji Liye was treating his wounds.

However, his thoughts were different from the three knights of the cult. Watching Li You's performance, he thought to himself: "It turns out that in addition to Credo, there are people who can kill demons as efficiently as me!"
