[Comprehensive British and American] Welcome to Arkham's Infinite Journey

first night 03

First, a blood-stained hand grabbed the door frame and struggled to crawl out, and then the woman's pale face was revealed.

Looking at the people in the aisle, she opened her mouth to ask for help, but before she could make a sound, a wooden barn followed, facing the back of the woman's head was a wooden barn.

"boom!!!"

"Ahhh-!!!"

The people who had just woken up were in a mess, and the villain with a gun and a gloomy face came to the door.

"Another person?"

A lot of blood splashed on the villain's face, making him look even more ferocious, but he raised the wooden barn mouth indifferently, and cursed in a low voice: "Shut up!"

With a new wooden barn sound, everyone fell silent.

The villain glanced at the crowd with a look of looking at a dead thing, and frowned severely when he saw Sephiroth.

Even in such a weird and dim environment, Sephiroth's appearance and composure made him look extremely abrupt.

"Line up and come in."

The aisle has limited space and is closed at both ends.There was nowhere to hide but the dark, winding staircase that descended.

Facing the villains holding wooden warehouses blocking the front door, everyone did not dare to resist, and the body of the woman who died tragically was not far away.

Still, someone was overwhelmed with panic, screaming and rushing up the stairs.

This time was long enough for the villain holding the wooden warehouse to shoot him dead, but the villain had a sneer on his face and just watched the man run down the stairs.

But a moment later, a more terrifying and tragic howl came, accompanied by the sound of heavy objects rolling down the stairs.

Everyone vaguely heard strange chewing sounds, as if there were monsters hiding in the darkness, waiting for the "food" to fall into their arms.

A deadly silence permeated the corridor.

"Did you see? A guy died like this before. There is something under there, so don't run around." The villain with the wooden warehouse knocked on the door with the wooden warehouse pipe, "My patience is limited."

The rest of the people didn't dare to run anymore, and all obediently lined up and entered the room.

The room is spacious and empty, mainly with wooden structure, but the top is relatively low.

An oval dining table is placed in the center, surrounded by a total of twelve chairs.

On top of the dining table, a beautiful crystal chandelier emits soft light.

The light that is not strong makes the walls of the room look a bit gloomy.

However, the moment Sephiroth stepped into the room, everyone had the illusion of "full of brilliance".

The bad mood of the villain holding the wooden warehouse got worse. He kicked the last person who entered the house and said viciously, "Stand against the wall!"

In fact, this kick, he wanted to kick Sephiroth even more, but for some reason he didn't dare to do it.

Everyone stood up obediently, and Sephiroth followed with some novelty.

With such cooperation, not only the silent Hannibal, but also the villain holding the wooden warehouse gave birth to a strange feeling.

However, the villain quickly shifted his attention. He scanned the crowd with insensitive eyes, and said slowly, "Okay, tell me now, how did you all get here?"

Under the threat of □□□, no one dared to hide anything, so they thought about it carefully.

"I... I remember I was driving before, like I had a really bad accident."

"After I finished the anesthesia, I should be lying in the operating room."

"I'm sleeping at home."

"...I just... I seem to have met a gangster just now, and he stabbed me."

There were 11 people standing against the wall. Everyone answered tremblingly, and the face of the villain was getting worse and worse.

Until someone said: "... I seem to have heard a voice asking if I would like to join the infinite world and become a player?"

With such a person speaking, the others were all stunned after a short silence.

"...I seem to have heard something like that too, but I thought it was a hallucination."

"Me too."

"That voice told me that if I can complete the trial, I can live."

Hearing the words of these self-proclaimed "players", Hannibal became more and more suspicious, but he didn't show it on his face, and when it was his turn, he followed the crowd and said, "Me too."

The villain suddenly spoke, and Mu Cangguan pointed at Hannibal: "What are you talking about?"

Hannibal's face turned dark, "...my teeth are not very good."

The villain forced Hannibal to grin his mouth open, and when he saw the gaping teeth, he laughed, extremely amused.

At this moment Hannibal wanted to kill.

He showed a very gentlemanly smile to the villain holding the wooden warehouse, and he didn't seem to mind the villain's ridicule.

After these people finished speaking, when it was Sephiroth's turn, they were skipped by the villains.

He was supporting the wooden warehouse, sitting on a chair, staring at everyone with a pair of gloomy eyes, which made everyone's heart tremble.

The villain is a star-spangled man who lives in the wilderness.

It is customary to set up roadblocks with accomplices, kidnap, rob or even kill passers-by in order to obtain property.

Before coming here, he remembered that he had just been killed by a passer-by who saw him wrongly, and his belly was cut open.

At that time, he also heard the voice that appeared directly in his mind, asking if he wanted to become a player.

Compared with unknown mysterious powers, as a modern Star-Spangled Countryman who advocates science, he is more willing to believe that this is a rich man's game, or a secret experiment of the Star-Spangled Country government.

As a person who walks in the dark, he is not as naive as ordinary people.

"never mind."

The villain got up and began to fill in the bulletin, "No matter who did it, it's just the same rule."

The behavior of the villains made everyone more nervous.

Individual players overcome their fears and try to communicate.

"This gentleman... do you know something?"

"We are all victims of what we have in common, and I think we should help each other, not..."

The villains ignored this, and the player with a broken mentality began to pray: "Actually, you brought us here? Please let me go! I swear I won't tell anything about what happened here."

Hearing this kind of prayer, the villain sneered.

He can often hear this kind of prayer.

——From the passers-by who were kidnapped, robbed and even killed by him and his companions.

□□Loading the gun, the villain grinned, "Have you all seen that kind of movie? It's a movie where a group of people are locked together, and only one person can leave when they die."

The intense fear builds up, reaching its peak when the villain lifts the gun.

The player who was pointed at by Mu Cangkou, driven by strong fear, screamed and rushed towards the villain.

The villain raised the mouth of the wooden warehouse unhurriedly, and exerted force on his fingers...

Everything happened in an instant.

A hand with slender and strong knuckles protruded from the side, grasping the wooden canister tube, and the moment the villain pulled the trigger, the wooden canister tube twisted and twisted.

A loud bang.

□□The chamber exploded.

A fine dust fell from the wooden roof.

The villain backed away with a miserable howl, and raised his two scorched and bloody hands, half of his jaw was cut off by the explosive fragments.

In just a moment, the villain's whole body was stained red with his own blood.

He fell to the ground in disbelief and never got up again.

The player who rushed out fell to the ground, staring blankly at the blood soaking the wooden floor, as if he hadn't realized what happened.

"I'm disappointed." Sephiroth threw the scrapped gun aside and said to the villain's corpse, "I thought you could do something useful."

Hannibal was once again stunned by Sephiroth's incredible strength and reflexes.

Sephiroth didn't kick him to death "as expected" because he was merciful.

It's just a pity for the pistol and the dead villain.

Originally, Hannibal wanted to snatch the gun for his own use, so he might be able to counter-kill Sephiroth.By the way, make the villains who offend him delicious and share them with everyone.

As a result, he thought too much.

Sephiroth looked back and asked everyone very politely: "Can you clean up the room?"

Generally speaking, even if it is saved by Sephiroth.

But in such a strange and inexplicable situation, everyone should be on guard.

After all, how could an ordinary person be able to do Sephiroth's operation of bending the wooden warehouse pipe with his bare hands?

But everyone in the room, after regaining their senses, took very active actions.

They dragged the two corpses to the aisle and took away the scrapped guns.

They found a bucket of clean water in the corner of the room.

There were no other utensils, so everyone simply took off their coats and wiped the floor with water.

Not to mention how clean the blood-soaked wooden floor was, I just hoped that the smell of blood in the room could be lightened.

After doing this, the room is indeed much better.

Among them, the hardest-working black woman knelt down in front of Sephiroth with a pious face after she finished her work, and even began to repent.

Tell about your experiences, your inner fears, your repentance for some "bad" behaviors before you came here, and ask yourself whether you can get God's forgiveness.

The remorse and pain on the face of the black woman and the tears rolling in her eyes are so real that it is impossible to doubt.

It's like going to church and confessing your heart to God.

Others didn't find it strange.

But that's where it gets weirdest.

Hannibal stood aside like an outsider, watching the strange scene in front of him.

That's it……

It's like being back in Arkham Asylum.

Those staff and ordinary patients trust Sephiroth inexplicably.

Instead of trusting Sephiroth as a reliable headmaster, it's better to say...

They endowed Dean Sephiroth with more divine radiance.

Hannibal had heard more than once that the staff of Arkham referred to Sephiroth as the "Son of Heaven".

Many years ago, Hannibal abandoned his belief in God.

He could analyze all this intellectually, but he couldn't understand it emotionally.

And these players in front of them seem to be more enthusiastic about Sephiroth than the staff of Arkham.

When Sephiroth put his hand over the black woman's forehead and told her, "God will forgive you."

The black woman burst into tears suddenly, as if her heart had been truly redeemed.

She chanted God, the Son and the Holy Spirit in her mouth, bowed her head and kissed the back of Sephiroth's hand reverently.

"Even if it's really hell here, I won't be afraid anymore."

A creaking sound came suddenly from the passage outside the door.

It was the sound of the wheels of the dining car rolling on the wooden floor.

The closed door opened.

A bald man led a group of waiters in and lined up in the room.

The bald man was wearing a three-piece tuxedo, his figure was straight, his eyes swept across the crowd, and he bowed slightly.

"Welcome to...hell."
