Survival in the game world begins with Biochemical 2

Chapter 470 Li You attacked Ji Liye!
The atmosphere in the square was a little heavy for a moment.

Credo turned to Li You and said, "Don't get me wrong. I am very grateful for your help on several occasions, and I recognize your strength. If you and Nero work together, the success rate of catching the assassin will be much higher."

"Then why..." Nero couldn't help but ask.

"I told you, because this matter involves the secrets of the Order!" Credo glanced at him, "According to eyewitness intelligence, the assassin went to Fortuna Castle. There are important facilities of the Order there, and no unauthorized persons are allowed to enter or leave!"

As he spoke, he simply turned to Nero and Ji Liye and said solemnly: "Nero, I have high hopes for you. Your strength is second only to mine in the Knights Templar. If you can make a contribution and catch the assassin this time, I can naturally promote you to my deputy, and even apply for the qualification for you to perform the ceremony!"

"...Ritual?" Nero didn't understand what it was, but he did understand Credo's intentions and was a little embarrassed for a moment.

"The sect is in a state of chaos right now and cannot withstand any setbacks. So at this time, I cannot allow outsiders to enter Fortuna Castle. Please forgive me."

Credo's last words were again lobbied by Lee. His attitude was indeed sincere, but also very firm, and he put the interests of the order first.

Nero and Jillie were at a loss for words now and looked at each other.

Li You was thinking.

Do you want to give it a try now and prepare Credo mentally in advance?

Everyone knows that the Sword Cult in Devil May Cry 4 is actually the main villain, and Credo is a cadre among them, so he will become an enemy of Nero later.

However, for Nero, Credo is more like a relative than a relative, so he did not kill him when fighting with Credo. Credo was killed by the final boss when he tried to save Nero and Gillie.

Nero witnessed that scene at the time, and was always upset because he had no power to protect Credo. It was not until the end of Devil May Cry 5 that Nero finally broke through himself, got rid of the past, and unlocked his demon form.

That’s why Li You said before that even if Credo died, he had to die as a “righteous man”, not to mention that he didn’t intend to let that happen.

Although training Nero is his main mission, it does not mean that Credo will definitely die. Li You has never been interested in the concept of tragic heroes.

Sorry, that's not what I wanted to see!
But after a little thought, Li You felt that now was not the time.

In order to shake Credo's loyalty, he must see the cult attack Ji Liye with his own eyes. It's useless to say anything to him now. On the contrary, it is likely to anger him and even make him fight with him on the spot, which would be bad.

For Credo, faith is the top priority, and the only exception is his sister Jillie.

Therefore, Li You replied: "Don't worry, I understand. Let Nero take care of the task of hunting down the assassin."

Hearing him say this, without mentioning Nero and Jillie, Credo also breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you very much. I know you are a demon hunter. After this incident is over, the cult will definitely give you enough rewards."

The identity of Demon Hunter is also written on Li You’s personal information, which is just right. The system is well prepared.

However, Li You was not actually interested in the reward that Credo promised. Of course the cult had what he wanted, but they were unlikely to give it to him, so Li You would just go and get it himself.

But at this point, of course, he nodded and said, "Okay, I'm looking forward to it."

Credo was relieved, and after expressing his gratitude again, he began to organize the knights of the Order. He planned to take the knights and escort the civilians back to the headquarters for refuge, of course including Jillie.

But just as he gave the order, a knight of the order suddenly came hurriedly from the direction of the headquarters and whispered something in Credo's ear.

Credo's expression changed slightly at that moment: "Now? Okay... I already know."

He stood there, his expression changing for a while, and then he came to Li You again.

Li You: "?"

He was secretly discussing with V what to do next, why did Credo suddenly come over?

What happened? Was he seen chatting with Dante?
Fortunately, Credo came for another matter: "...I just received an urgent report that the headquarters of the cult has important matters that need to be dealt with immediately. We must set off immediately and cannot wait for the civilians to act together."

Hearing this, Li You also vaguely guessed what he wanted to say: "So?"

"Nero still has to go hunt down the assassin, and I have to return immediately without delay. So... could you please escort the civilians and Jillie to the headquarters of the Order together with the remaining Knights of the Order?"

Credo showed a rare look of worry on his face: "According to the report, a large number of demons have appeared on the road leading to the headquarters. I am afraid that it will be difficult to protect the safety of the people relying solely on these knights of the order. You are a powerful demon hunter, so..."

Li You: Is there such a good thing?
In fact, he was just thinking about when to make a move on Ji Liye, and the opportunity came to him? Or was it her brother who gave it to him?

Oh, of course, what Li You meant by "take action" definitely didn't mean anything strange, but to protect Jillie... in a different way.

This heroine obviously has no room for error, right?
So Li You agreed on the spot: "No problem! Protecting the people is why I became a demon hunter! Leave it to me!"

Of course Li You said this kind of nice and free words easily.

"Okay!" Credo was also very decisive. Although what he did was a little bit against the rules, in order to ensure the safety of his sister, a little bit of violation was nothing.

"Then I'll leave it to you!" He said, turned around and arranged things according to the plan.

"Nero, you go hunt down the assassin immediately! Knights, you escort the people to the headquarters for refuge! This demon hunter will act with you until we reach the entrance of the headquarters, you must cooperate with each other!"

Nero was very happy after hearing this. He had a deeper understanding of Li You's strength. He could rest assured that Li You could protect Ji Liye. As for the other knights of the Order, although they all felt that this seemed to be against the rules, now that the Pope was gone, Credo was one of the most powerful people in the Order, so of course they would only choose to obey.

Ji Liye stepped forward with concern: "Credo, you..."

Credo said to her softly, "I have to go back first and can't go with you. You must be careful on the road and put your own safety first!"

He obviously knew that Jillie wanted to lend a hand when she saw someone injured, so he repeatedly emphasized it. Jillie would not sing a different tune at this time, so she nodded: "I understand."

Credo asked Li You for one last favor, then left quickly with the knight of the Order who had just come to report the news.

When their backs disappeared in the distance, Nero carried the Crimson Queen and said, "Then I am ready to set off as well. Ji Liye, Li You, be careful on your way."

Both of them nodded.

At this moment, sporadic demons began to appear outside the theater gate. V had already returned to Merrimack and started sniping those enemies. When Nero left, he quickly passed by her.

"Don't die." V laughed.

"I can't die." Nero raised his hand, then drew his sword and rushed straight towards the demon that was blocking his way!

"Shua——!!"

After he disappeared at the end of the street, Li You called V and, together with the remaining knights of the cult, escorted the civilians to the current cult headquarters.

……

Half a day passed in the blink of an eye.

Because Li You and his group were carrying only twenty or thirty civilians and had to deal with demons on the way, they moved very slowly. It took them such a long time to finally reach the forest, but the sun was already sinking towards the horizon.

Just like mentioned before, the City of Destiny is surrounded by mountains and the sea. The newly built headquarters of the cult is far outside the city. The middle is covered by the lush Mitis forest. Demons appear from time to time in it. It is not a road that ordinary people can walk on.

If there were no enemies chasing them all the way, many of these civilians would probably not have been able to hold on.

After considering it, the two captains of the Knights of the Order felt that it was too dangerous to enter the Mitis Forest at night and decided to camp outside the forest tonight.

So they found Li You who was watching from the outside and proposed this idea. Originally, they would not consult Li You, an outsider, for his opinion, but Li You and V had shown their exaggerated strength along the way, and they were also arranged by Credo himself, so the two team leaders naturally did not dare to ignore his ideas.

In response to their proposal, Li You answered readily: "Of course no problem! After fighting for so long, I believe you are all tired, so let's take turns to rest."

The two team captains were very moved: He is so powerful and trusted by Captain Credo, but he is still so humble. What a good person!
So they went back to make arrangements, and the Knights of the Order began to prepare to set up camp and settle the civilians.

Li You and V were on guard outside the whole time, while Jillie joined the knights, helping them and comforting the children and the elderly among the people, and soon she was loved by everyone.

"Thank you, Jillie! It's all thanks to you!" An elderly believer said with emotion, while Jillie repeatedly said, "I just did what I could."

When the work was done over there, the civilians who were tired after a day lay down to rest, and even the knights began to take turns on duty, Jillie came to Li You again.

"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Li You and Ms. V. Today is all thanks to you." Ji Liye clasped her hands together and sincerely thanked Li You and V.

Li You smiled and responded: "It's nothing. The best thing is that everyone is fine."

Ji Liye also nodded: "We are all kind people who believe in God devoutly. He will definitely bless us."

"You two too, although you are not believers of God, God will never turn a blind eye to heroic deeds like yours."

After a brief chat with Jillie, Li You realized that she truly believed in Sparta with all her heart and hoped that everyone could have peace and happiness.

"As expected..." Li You sighed, "I can understand why Nero pays so much attention to you."

"You, what did you say, Mr. Li You..." Ji Liye blushed slightly.

"You're like this, and I feel a little embarrassed to do anything to you." Li You said the second half of the sentence with a smile.

"...Huh?" Jillie was stunned.

There were noises behind her, and she turned back in surprise, only to see that the knights of the order on duty had fallen silently in the darkness, and the few civilians who had not yet gone to bed had also fallen into a peaceful sleep.

In the darkness at the edge of the forest, pairs of blue eyes lit up, like hungry wolves, surrounding everyone.

Jillie was horrified and subconsciously wanted to stand up and scream, but her mouth was immediately covered by someone from behind!

A strange smell entered her nose, and she felt her consciousness becoming increasingly blurred. In the haze, she seemed to hear V's voice ringing in her ears: "Don't worry, nothing will happen, you should get some sleep first."

Then, Jillie fell into complete darkness.
