Survival in the game world begins with Biochemical 2

Chapter 465: The main quest of Devil May Cry ... Is it a trap if it's so simple?
"clang."

Soon, the last scarecrow demon was torn apart by Li You's stick, and black mist-like blood burst and drifted away. Li You slammed the spiral stick on the ground, announcing the end of the battle.

Nero had put away his sword and pistol, and came near him, looking at him in a daze.

"Are you..."

Li Youze smiled at him and said, "Are those ordinary citizens okay?"

He put emphasis on the word "ordinary citizens".

Nero: “…”

"It's okay, they...are not injured, but a few of our Knights of the Order were injured."

After a pause, Nero answered Li You's question.

Li You nodded: "That's good. After all, ordinary citizens cannot be involved."

Hearing him repeatedly emphasizing it, Nero was at a loss for a moment, and he remembered this guy in his heart.

I was just saying it casually, why are you holding such a grudge against me?
But no matter what, it was a fact that this man had just saved Gillie. In view of this, although Nero had a bad temper and liked to make fun of others, he couldn't say anything back at this time.

"Anyway, I think I should thank you for saving..."

Nero was interrupted in the middle of his words. He looked around in surprise. Apart from the seriously injured Josh who was sitting aside to rest, the other two knights of the Order were spreading out beside him with swords in hand, vaguely surrounding Li You.

"What are you doing?" Nero asked subconsciously.

The two knights of the Order looked at each other, and then the captain with the injured shoulder said, "This man is not a resident of the city. He is a foreigner who has the power to kill demons. We must confirm that he is not an illegal trespasser and has no ill intentions towards the city."

Nero was a little confused: "But he just saved you, saved Jillie and the children! You want to question him now?"

The knight of the cult next to him lowered his head slightly, and the captain hesitated for a moment before saying, "This is the rule of the cult!"

Nero was annoyed: "Fuck you...Fuck your rules!"

"You all believe in Sparta, so shouldn't you learn from his heroism? Go ask Sparta if he would treat those who helped him in this way?"

When these words were spoken, Li You looked sideways.

In fact, Li You was a little confused before Nero started arguing with the two knights of the Order.

Why are you surrounding me? And why do you think it will work? Just the two of you?
Li You thought they were quite funny.

Even when you are not injured, can you withstand a blow from me?

But when Nero said this, he attracted all their hatred.

After all, although this is true, Nero's way of speaking is extremely disrespectful in the Demon Sword Cult, which worships Sparta as a god.

The captain who was confronting Nero blushed visibly. His helmet had been lost in the previous battle, and now he lifted up his replacement hood, revealing a face that looked like an ordinary person. He angrily said, "You are just a dirty worker, how dare you disrespect the gods!?"

As soon as these words came out, Nero's expression changed. He quickly glanced at Jillie next to him and said in a cold voice, "Can you say one more sentence?"

The two of them suddenly faced each other.

Nero didn't want Jillie to hear about the "dirty work", and the team leader who was confronting him was frightened by Nero's momentum, but he couldn't bring himself to give in, so he stood his ground.

Li You looked at them and thought that he should say something: "You two..."

"Everyone!"

A voice sounded before him, attracting everyone's attention.

Li You turned around and saw Ji Liye, who had been protected by Nero, coming to the two of them. Both sleeves of her long skirt were torn, but it was not because of accidental injury, but she tore it off herself and bandaged the wounds of Nero, Qiao Xi and the team leader.

"We are all members of the cult, so let's not argue." Jillie put her hands together and prayed, "No matter what, thanks to the gods' blessing and everyone's hard work, no one is in danger of death."

"The most important thing now is to send everyone to treatment and send the children back to the orphanage. As for this kind-hearted person who helped us, let me take him to see Credo? I believe that Credo's judgment will convince everyone.

"What do you think, Tonio, Sagan?"

She was looking at the two knights of the Order who were still able to fight.

Perhaps it was because of her gentle voice, or perhaps it was because the name Credo she said had enough credibility and deterrent power, the knights of the order finally calmed down.

Tonio was the captain who confronted Nero. He was still a little indignant at this time, but he still put away his sword and uttered a muffled "hmm".

Li You watched quietly, unperturbed by the Knights of the Order's overestimation of their own capabilities.

But the brown-haired girl in front of him deserves more attention.

The girl's name has been learned from Nero. She is the fourth generation heroine, Kirrie.

Of course, Jillie’s more famous deed is that in Devil May Cry 5, she broke through the limitations of race and evolved into a whole new species - the telephone booth.

...Actually, it’s because in the fifth generation, Kirrie, who was Nero’s CP and the heroine of the fourth generation, was so miserable that she never showed her face. She only contacted Nero through a phone booth at the end, so it was said that the phone booth was her real body.

Li You even remembered a comic strip he had read before, in which a telephone booth gave birth to a small telephone booth...

"Pfft." He couldn't help laughing out loud.

Everyone turned their heads: "?"

Li You's expression remained unchanged: "Don't worry, I'm thinking of something happy."

Nero: “……?”

This guy is really strange.

"...Well, if I understand correctly, I should follow this lady now?" Li You smiled and forced the topic back, "Excuse me, who is that Credo?"

Of course, he asked this question, but he actually knew it very well in his mind.

Telephone booth... No, Jillie herself is just an ordinary member of the Magic Sword Cult, without any special identity. The only difference may be her gentle personality, sweet appearance, and her brother, Credo, who is the leader of the Knights.

The winning composition of Fortuna Primary School: "My Brother, the Leader of the Regiment".

——Of course, this is just a joke. Jillie is popular because she is beautiful and gentle, and Credo became the leader of the Knights because of his strong strength, firm belief, and unparalleled loyalty, and he is deeply trusted by the Pope and the Knights of the Order.

It was for this reason that Jillie proposed taking Li You to see Credo, and everyone agreed.

As for Li You, he was listening to Nero's explanation of Credo's identity, but in his mind he was thinking whether he should go with Jiliye.

After all, judging from the game, Credo also has a bad temper. If it is discovered that he really broke in illegally, who knows how he would react.

At this moment, the system prompt sound finally came.

【Ding! 】

[First contact has been completed. 】

[Final confirmation - Your main mission in this world is: Make Nero a qualified demon hunter and thwart the conspiracy of the Demon Sword Cult. ]

[Note: You will not be able to leave the City of Destiny until the mission is completed; the legal identity of "tourist" has been prepared for you. ]

【Good luck! 】

Li You raised his eyebrows.

The system hadn't prepared a legal identity for him when he traveled through time for a long time. To be precise, it was basically an additional service in the beginning world, but the system just touched it later. It was probably because he became stronger, anyway, he basically solved the identity problem by himself in the later period. This time, the system was diligent for once, saving Li You a lot of trouble.

Apart from anything else, from the performance of Tonio and the other three knights of the cult, Li You keenly realized a fact that he had not known before: the Demon Sword Cult was probably quite xenophobic.

This is indeed true. Although it is not shown much in the game, it is mentioned in the official novel.

However, compared to the sudden diligence of the system, what Li You was more concerned about was the main task this time.

Making Nero a qualified demon hunter and defeating the cult's conspiracy? Isn't this the original main plot?
Of course, this doesn't mean that this kind of mission is not difficult at all. When he first traveled through time, the main mission of Resident Evil 2 was similar. After all, if he couldn't complete the mission and escape from Raccoon City, he would be dead.

But Devil May Cry 4 is a little different. The City of Destiny will not be nuked like Raccoon City, but a large number of demons will pour out in the end. Even ordinary people, as long as they are smart, have a chance to hide until Nero and Dante solve the problem by themselves, and the main quest will be automatically completed, right?

What's more, with his strength today, it is really not difficult to complete this kind of main task.

Is it because Devil May Cry 4 was supposed to have appeared several worlds ago, so it’s so simple, or is it... a trap?
Li You felt that he needed to think about this problem carefully.

【Ding! 】

[Contact with the residents of this world has been completed, the system is being updated, and new world rewards will be drawn soon. 】

[Extraction in progress...extraction completed. 】

[Please choose one item from the drawn items as your reward. 】

Li You temporarily put aside the issue of the main task and looked at the three props he drew.

[Stone of Life: A soul stone made by alchemy that can heal injuries.]

[Devil's Stone: A soul stone made by alchemy that can restore magic power.]

[Holy Water: Can resist demons and cause damage to enemies. ]

The three Devil May Cry game props are all basic consumables, which is in line with the system inertia. If he can only choose one, Li You will just pick the Demon Stone, which can at least be used to restore magic power.

“Just ordinary.”

After confirming the system message, Li You also "understood" who Credo was through Nero's narration, so he nodded and said, "Then I will go meet this Knight Commander."

Now that everyone had a clear idea of ​​what they were supposed to do, the three Knights of the Order, Nero, and Gillie all started moving.

The injured Tonio and Josh went to heal their wounds, the uninjured Sagan escorted the children back to the orphanage, and Jillie accompanied Li You to meet Credo.

As for Nero, although he was also injured, this kid had an unusual physique. After Jillie bandaged him, he can now move freely.

However, although the group had different destinations, they still traveled together into the city.

On the way, Nero gently waved his injured right hand to Jillie: "See? I'm fine." Jillie looked worried.

Li You looked at the long bloodstain that seeped out from under the bandage on his hand, extending from his forearm to the back of his hand, and thought to himself that it was okay, and that something would happen in two days.

After walking a short distance, they were almost near the hospital. Before leaving, Tonio, the captain of the Knights of the Order, came over and whispered to Nero, "You are disrespectful to the gods. I will report this to the commander!"

Nero said indifferently: "Whatever you want."

"Hmph!" Tonio wanted to flick his sleeves to show his disdain for Nero, but his shoulder was injured, so he could only glare at him.

Then Nero put on the headphones around his neck and started humming a little tune.

Tonio blushed again, but for the sake of Jillie, he didn't lose his temper and hurried away with Josh.

Soon, the remaining Knight Sagan of the Order also led the children to another path.

Li You had no memory of this area in the game, so he asked Nero: "Are we going to...?"

Nero took off his headphones. He originally just wanted to piss off Tonio, so he answered Li You's question straightforwardly: "Go to my sword academy!"

"My sword academy?"

It was clearly a European-style town and cult, but suddenly a very Japanese name popped up. Moreover, Li You searched his memory and did not find any relevant content.

Is there such a place in Devil May Cry 4?

Nero explained seriously, "My Sword Academy was the headquarters of the Order more than ten years ago. But now the new headquarters has been built. It has completed its mission and is now a resting place for the Knights of the Order. If there is nothing else, Credo is usually there."

"I see." Li You had a guess in his mind. It seemed that the old headquarters of the Knights of the Order should be an area that only existed in the background setting.

He didn't say anything more, and he and Nero followed Jillie, one in front and one behind, and walked towards my sword academy.

But Nero couldn't sit still. After walking for a while, he couldn't help but ask Li You: "You guys, you fought well just now! Do you have experience fighting demons?"

Li You thought about the big ass and the fire demon he killed in the Dark Soul world, and nodded: "Yes."

"Hey! I knew it!" Nero laughed happily, "Most people don't have your strength! Even in the Demon Sword Cult, you can probably rank in the top five."

Li You raised an eyebrow: "Oh? Top five?"

Nero didn't understand what Li You meant at all. He smiled and said, "That's right! So you don't have to be so good-tempered. Your strength is there. You don't have to care about the embarrassment of some people! Those people only have how to become a 'glorious knight' in their minds, but in fact they have even forgotten the basic spirit of a knight!"

"Nero..." Ji Liye in front couldn't help but turn her head and whispered a reminder. Nero immediately ended the topic: "Okay, I won't say anything."

Ji Liye was also somewhat helpless, but she did not blame Nero. From her expression, Li You could see that she generally agreed with Nero's point of view.

"As expected of a young couple."

Next, we soon arrived at my knife school.

Pushing open the heavy wooden door covered with dust, I saw the unusual hustle and bustle inside my knife academy, completely different from the city.

After all, this is the headquarters of the Knights of the Order, so it is natural for the knights to gather here. Li You saw many people busy with their own things, of course, most of them were practicing swords, so the roar of engines resounded in my sword academy.

“Buzz buzz—!!”

If you didn’t know, you would think you were encountering the Will-O-Ghost Knights bombing the streets.

However, the degree of nuisance they cause is still not too bad. If everyone was equipped with a greatsword like Nero's, then the Knights Templar could really change their name.

Although many knights of the order cast strange looks at Li You and Nero, since Ji Liye was leading the way, no one came up to ask questions.

Li You also noticed that although he was unwelcome because he was an outsider, Nero also received mostly unfriendly looks.

"It seems that the Knights of the Order are not only xenophobic, but also not lax within their own ranks?" Li You made some guesses, but Nero looked as if he was used to it.

The three of them walked towards the innermost building of our Sword Academy, stepping onto the wooden steps one by one. With every step Nero and Li You took, it would make a mournful cry as if it was being crushed.

Nero complained to Li You in a low voice: "Every time I am called by Credo, I have to be careful when walking on these stairs, so as not to crush them."

Li You just smiled and said nothing.

The Knight Commander's office was on the top floor. Jillie knocked on the door and went in. She saw a man in a platinum robe and with a dignified face sitting behind his desk, processing documents.

He had a dark brown slicked back hair and a finely trimmed tuft of beard on his chin. Next to him was a light golden sword of the Order, which was of a different shape.

This is naturally Claydo, the current leader of the Knights of the Order and Jillie's biological brother.

He looked at Li You and the other two and said in surprise: "Ji Liye, Nero? What happened? And who is this person...?"
