Game world survival starts from Resident Evil 2

Li You is not here to fight her. After all, the Time Guardian has the unique ability to control time. Even if he beats her, he will reverse time and run away.

Moreover, the Time Guardian has not mutated. She has been trying to save the island. There is no reason for Li You to fight her to the death.

However, due to the long-term adjustment of time, the mental state of the Time Guardian has also become somewhat unstable, and he is often in a state of killing anyone he sees.

The map introduction in the game also mentions, "If there is a deviation of one thousandth of a second in the clock calibration, it may have serious consequences." The pressure the Guardian of Time has endured, who has been interfering with the timeline through his own abilities for a long time, can be imagined.

And in the reincarnation later in the game, she finally made a mistake.

Putting that aside, Li You looked at the Time Guardian who was already walking towards him with his sword in hand, and said in a deep voice: "Time Guardian, I am not your enemy, I am here to help."

The Time Guardian remained unmoved and continued to approach steadily.

Li You was not surprised. In Death Cell, if you want to communicate with someone, you basically have to convince them with your morality first.

So he pulled out his knife and waved his hand back.

Both Yuzi and Ai Ji understood what Li You meant and retreated to the rear, but Ye Ge didn't understand it at all. Instead, they shouted excitedly: "Kill people! Kill people!"

Li You: "..."

Just said we are not here to kill her!

You really didn't listen at all to the pre-war meeting just now, right?

Li You was determined to let Yuzi pull him back, but after thinking about it, he could just let Yege keep it. Tacit understanding must be cultivated slowly.

The Guardian of Time has many abilities, including fighting spirit and magic, but most of her magic and skills are used to assist melee combat.

There are two big swords in her hands, one long and one short. They are both weapons and catalysts for her ability to activate time. The shape of one long and one short is like the hands of a clock.

At this moment, magic power surged around the Guardian of Time, and meteor darts and shurikens were suspended in front of her. Then, under the power of the magic power promoter, they shot towards Li You!

Li You instantly raised his hand, and the glazed umbrella stretched out to form a shield on his left arm, blocking the Time Guardian's indiscriminate shuriken attack.

Yege flew in the air a few times, then got all the shurikens out of the way, then flashed the sword and flew towards Tokimori!

Sister Tokimori just raised her left sword and flicked Yege away, but Yege refused to let go and kept flying around the guardian of time.

The Time Guardian was already bored and planned to knock down the sword, but Li You took action.

He swung the knife in his hand downwards, and an air blade flew out, followed by a second cross cut!

There was no vacuum wave behind the air blade this time because Li You didn't have any energy to accumulate.

At the beginning, let’s test it out with two consecutive dragon flashes without any charge.

Shishou was also able to do it with ease. She swung Yege away with her sword, and then dodged sideways to pass Li You's two consecutive dragon flashes.

She then raised her hand and threw several shurikens in succession.

Li You saw the right moment and made a horizontal slash with his sword. The air blade flew out again. While knocking down all the shurikens, he further pounced on Tokimori. At the same time, Ye Ge, who was knocked away, also flew back, fluttering and stabbing Tokishou in the back.

Seeing that Shimou was about to be injured due to being overwhelmed, but in Li You's eyes, her movements suddenly became much faster. After getting out of the way to attack, she held the sword horizontally with both hands, slightly charged up, and then moved toward Li You. Come sprint!

Li You had already been alert to her suddenly faster movements, so even if she suddenly used extreme speed to charge forward, Li You reacted and raised his knife to block it!

"clang--!"

The two collided and then backed away.

The Time Guardian took several steps back, and his subsequent advance was interrupted. She looked at Li You. Although the mask covered her expression, Li You could feel her surprise.

Compared to her, Li You only took half a step back.

This was also because the Time Guardian used his own ability to accelerate the impact. It was very powerful and fast. Li You didn't have time to completely relieve her strength, so he was knocked back half a step. But his energy impact also impressed Tokimori deeply.

In the collision just now, Li You felt Toki Shou's power.

As a woman, she can fight with such heavy swords, so she must be very powerful.

After a close collision with her, Li You also roughly judged that her combat effectiveness was indeed much better than the miscellaneous soldiers he had fought in this world.

Although in the game, some people jokingly call the Guardian of Time the Free Giver No. 2, saying that her moves are flashy but of no use and that she is weak and unable to withstand beatings. However, in terms of plot strength, there is no doubt that Tokimori is powerful.

And her performance is weak, which is not difficult to explain. After all, she spent too much effort to correct the kingdom's timeline.

But in short, with her current state, Li You is indeed not afraid of her.

The Time Guardian also realized that the person in front of him was difficult to deal with, so he decided to use all his strength.

She suddenly crossed the two swords in her hands, the long sword upright and the short sword horizontally, like the hands of a clock.

Magic power surged around her, and a large number of shurikens floated up again. Golden swords began to appear on the top of the clock room, falling towards Li You's position below!

Li You moved quickly to avoid the attack. Tokishou took the opportunity to look at Ye Ge, who was still surrounding him. With a sudden shake of his left hand, the dagger body separated from the handle and turned into a chain sword. After she waved it away, it was entangled for a while. Careless night song!

Ye Ge: "!?"

It struggled desperately, trying to cut the chain, but unfortunately the twin swords of the Time Keeper were legendary weapons of no less quality than its own, and it was impossible to escape for a while.

Shi Shou dragged Ye Ge to him, and then charged the other big sword to cut it down!

Ye Ge was shocked, but couldn't break free, and closed his yellow gemstone eyes in fear.

But at this moment, a grappling hook flew over, grabbed Ye Ge's hilt, and then pulled it back, freeing Ye Ge from Shi Shou's control.

The Time Keeper was shocked.

Ye Ge cried with joy, and this time he finally behaved, flew back behind Li You, and floated quietly.

Li You dodged the two big swords falling from the sky again, and once again said to Shi Shou: "I am not your enemy! I just want to talk to you!"

This time, Sister Shi Shou finally paused and answered: "If you want to talk, survive my sword first!"

As she said, she swung the chain sword in her left hand and threw it at Li You again!

Li You did not hesitate, and the grappling hook popped out, accurately catching the chain sword thrown by the Time Guardian. The two pulled back at the same time, and the two hooks were stuck in mid-air.

"Do you want to compete in strength?" Shi Shou began to exert force, trying to pull Li You to her side.

But Li You also grabbed the hook with one hand, and his whole body was tense, and Shi Shou couldn't pull him at all.

After all, after receiving the main quest reward of Sekiro World, his strength value has climbed to 20 points, which can be said to have completely entered the inhuman level.

Even though the Time Guardian is very powerful, he can't take advantage of Li You.

On the contrary, after a stalemate, Li You's power burst out again and pulled Shi Shou towards him.

Shi Shou was also shocked. She summoned the giant sword falling from the sky, and used magic to stimulate the shuriken and threw it out, trying to stop Li You. But all the shurikens were bounced off by Li You's single-handed swing, and as for the falling big sword, Ye Ge pounced on it and knocked them away one by one.

"——Don't try to sneak attack!" It shouted while protecting Li You.

Sister Shi Shou was pulled closer and closer by Li You, and finally she was almost a few steps in front of him. Li You pulled her closer with force, and the grappling hook was released. Shi Shou did not dodge, and took advantage of the situation to swing the big sword in his hand, bursting with fighting spirit, and slashed with all his strength!

"Dang——!!"

Li You had expected it long ago, and the lightning moon shadow in his hand was wrapped with energy, and collided head-on with her big sword again. The two of them even set off a series of miniature whirlwinds when they fought.

This time Li You was well prepared, but the Time Guardian was charging a forceful attack, so in the end it was evenly matched.

The Time Guardian took two steps back, looked at Li You, and the big sword in his hand dropped.

"You are very strong... If you have anything to say, just say it."

Li You also nodded. He found that although most people in this world like to communicate with fists, they also have the good quality of keeping their words.

Willing to accept the loss of the bet and not refusing to pay, Li You was very satisfied with this.

Seeing that the Time Keeper was finally willing to listen to him, Li You also put away his samurai sword, and then called Yuzu and Edge in.

He looked at the Time Keeper and said, "I came from the outside world. Maybe you don't believe it, but..."

However, Sister Shishou shook her head and said, "I know you are from the outside world."

Li You was stunned at first, and then reacted.

The Time Keeper explained, "I keep using my abilities to interfere with the time cycle of this island, trying to find a solution to the mutation."

"This is the nth time I have restarted time, but this is the first time I have seen you, so you must be from the outside world.

"So... what do you want to do when you come here? Did you listen to others and think that the palace is a pure land and want to live there, or do you also want to plot the so-called Philosopher's Stone?

"No matter what the reason is, I have to advise you that it's useless, go back. You can't find anything ahead. There is only death in the palace, but the difference is the way of death."

Li You extracted a lot of key information from her words.

For example, her time interference ability seems to only affect this island and cannot reach the outside world.

For another example, she is very familiar with the situation in the palace and the cause of the change.

So obviously, she and the collector must have a connection, or even a cooperative relationship.

So Li You thought about it, smiled, and replied: "These are not my purpose. I came here to help you complete the panacea."

Time Guardian: "!?"

...

After a while.

Li You and the Time Guardian sat face to face on the ground, discussing fiercely.

The focus of their discussion was obviously how to save the kingdom.

Li You told the Time Guardian that he had mistakenly entered this island from the outside world and now hoped to escape. Now the island is full of infected people, so he placed his hopes on the Time Guardian and the Collector and planned to help them.

When the Guardian of Time asked him how he knew all these things, Li You said that although he did not know alchemy, he had some knowledge in this area, so he saw that the Collector was making a panacea and deduced everything.

Panacea is the elixir that can cure all diseases in the legend of alchemists.

After repeatedly trying different methods to solve the mutation, but all failed, the Collector finally despaired and could only choose to pin his hopes on the legend and make every effort to make a panacea to save the island.

Li You said that he thought the Collector's method had hope of success, so he offered to help.

As for whether the Time Guardian believed it or not, Li You didn't know. But at least, she agreed to cooperate with Li You.

However, Li You actually deceived the Time Guardian.

He knew very well that the epidemic had already spread to the outside world and was no longer a matter of an island or a small kingdom. And because the Time Guardian’s ability only works on the island, it’s too late to save the outside world anyway.

Talking about salvation in this context is a bit too whimsical. Li You really has no idea this time.

Alchemy cannot save the island, so I say goodbye.

His fundamental goal is to complete the main mission and bring an end to the tragedy of this island. At most, he could do a little more to make this ending less tragic.

Or think about it conversely, since the outside world has fallen, it might not be a bad idea to resolve the changes on the island and make it a pure land for refuge.

The Time Guardian also shared the information she could provide with Li You and answered many of Li You's doubts.

She did make a final agreement with the Collector to use all his resources to develop the elixir.

According to the collector's research, if you want to make a panacea, you need a large number of cells to refine it.

Therefore, he took advantage of Cell Man who had lost his memory and let him constantly wander around the island, reborn, fighting, and then dying again and being reborn again.

The reborn bodies of the Cell Man are all artificial human bodies prepared by the Collector. Otherwise, at this time, how could there be so many death row inmates on the island who happened to be beheaded and had no physical problems?

In this process, all the cells obtained by the Cell Man became materials for collectors to refine panacea.

The Guardian of Time also has a cooperative relationship with him. Since there were almost no living people on the island, she felt less pressure to adjust her time.

Every time the Cell Man kills a certain BOSS, or clears out a large number of monsters in a certain place, the Time Guardian will "replenish" the goods, reverse time, and bring back the monsters killed by the Cell Man.

The terrain in different areas of the island changes repeatedly, mostly due to the butterfly effect caused by her manipulation of time.

Of course, the number of infected people on the island is endless. Generally speaking, the mobs do not need to be replenished by the Time Guardian, and they are mainly BOSS-level monsters.

In this way, the Cell Man continues to be reincarnated and reborn, while the Collector continues to collect cells, repeatedly trying to refine a panacea, and encountering failure again and again.

As for the Time Guardian, she is not only helping the Collector to maintain the reincarnation of Cell Man, but every time she restarts the timeline, she will also go back to the first day of the epidemic to execute those infected in an attempt to prevent the spread of mutations.

Unfortunately, it has no effect. After trying many times, she gave up on this meaningless move and locked herself in the clock room, waiting for the Cell Man to come and then fight.

Although the Time Guardian said this in a very serious tone, Li You almost couldn't help laughing when he thought of her humming and running to "replenish supplies".

Fortunately, he has received professional training.

At the same time, the Time Guardian couldn't help complaining: "But this time, this guy doesn't know what happened. It seems that he didn't fight the infected people at all and came directly to me. He has very few cells in his body. "

Li You looked aside and saw the rapidly decaying artificial human body, and he felt the same way.

This time, Cell Man seems to be a parkour enthusiast...

Although Li You spent a long time wandering around the Honkai Temple, he quickly climbed up the Bell Tower, but even so, he still fell behind the Cell Man, which showed that he moved quite quickly.

The Time Guardian said: "This is not the way to go. Since you want to help, you should first change his attitude."

Li You thought for a while and came up with an idea: "What do you think..."

…

A moment later, in the water channel below the prison.

A complete sewer system was built on the island, but in the early stages of the mutation, due to the accumulation of large amounts of pollutants, it had turned into a poisonous area.

In addition to various mutated insects, zombies can survive in this kind of place.

However, Cell Man is walking through the poisonous sewer.

It's not that Cell Man didn't want to take the bridge route he had already walked. He heard from the Great Sword Girl that there were some very helpful runes here, so he came all the way to explore.

As soon as he arrived in the sewers, there was a guy who was locked in a cage and angrily asked the cell people for help to find his lost runes.

Cellman patted his chest and agreed.

After running and exploring all the way, and having to deal with a few mutated worms that were chasing after him, he finally saw a room with a different atmosphere.

The guy who asked him for help took out his hand from the prison next to him and said to him: "Here it is, my rune is in front!"

The cell man looked at it and immediately waved his hand to indicate that he was not going.

Are you kidding me, this looks like there is a strong enemy in front of me, right?

The prisoner immediately said: "No! You have nothing to be afraid of! You are already here!"

Although his persuasion skills were really bad, in any case, Cell Man thought of useful runes and entered the room.

In the room, a distinctive beheader was holding a sword and half-kneeling on the ground. Seeing the Cell Man appear, he drew his sword and stood up.

Cell Man: "!?"

The Elite Slayer came forward with one sudden attack and three consecutive slashes. The heavy slashes almost sent the Cellman directly back to the rebirth point.

Fortunately, the Three Sword Masters in the sewers were not as scary as their counterparts in the heavily infected area behind them. The Cell Man also reacted in time, barely blocking the third blow, and survived.

He rolled to the side, pulled out a small blood vial and drank from it, then pulled his weapon from behind...a pan.

Cell Man picked up the frying pan and pounced on the Elite Slayer!

…

After a while.

Cell Man dragged his scarred body to the entrance to the next area. He held the pot in one hand and a purple oval rune stone in the other, rubbing it from time to time.

Suddenly, the former prisoner stretched out his hand from the iron bars next to the entrance: "You got it, you got it, right? I knew you could do it!"

"Now, give it to me!"

However, in the face of his urging, Cell Man just paused, then raised his hand and gave him a fierce middle finger gesture!

Then, the Cell Man put this guy's angry curse behind him, played with the rune stones, and walked into the passage to the barrier.

He met the Collector here as he wished, and was about to step forward to make a deal when he suddenly saw a notice posted in front of the Collector's laboratory door.

He tore it off and took a look. It read: "To thank new and old customers for their support, within three days from now on, all enhancements and products will have a 50% discount on the required number of cells."

The eyes in the will-o'-the-wisp of the Cell Man immediately shined brightly!

He rushed to the collector, not even bothering to listen to the collector's explanation, and just eagerly took out his own cells!

The Collector just laughed and improved his abilities step by step.

…

Half a day passed.

The underground area of ​​the island, inside the Gagging Cellar.

The Cell Man dodged left and right in the ancient cellar, avoiding large swaths of venom sprinkled from the sky.

And in mid-air in the cellar, a green-eyed monster bound by chains was waving its tentacles and making a harsh roar.

This is the first BOSS in the sewer line, the Swollen Beholder, commonly known as the cute girl with big eyes among players. It is a monster that was born in the harsh environment of the sewer after the mutation broke out.

After causing a lot of losses to the soldiers, the king personally caught it and locked it in the cellar.

And now, Cell Man is up against it.

Before coming to the Gagging Cellar, he had already collected the ram's horn ground-shaking runes that could destroy part of the walls and floors, so he was able to come here. Needless to say, his goal was for the fallen cells.

This time, Cell Man held a pair of cone-shaped white bone nails in his hand. While running to avoid the venom spitting, he swung the bone nails and cut off all the tentacles extended by the swollen beholder.

After cutting off a tentacle again, the swollen beholder with injured limbs wailed and fell from the air.

Cell Man seized the opportunity, stepped forward quickly, and stabbed the bone nail in his hand into the swollen beholder's big eyeball!

The mucus immediately burst out and poured all over Cellman. The Swollen Beholder wailed and waved its tentacles endlessly, but it still fell down irresistibly.

Cell Man pulled out the bone nail and breathed a sigh of relief.

The will-o'-the-wisp on his head immediately began to beat rapidly, absorbing all the cells in the swollen beholder's body. He then stood up and walked towards the collector's laboratory.

50% off!

…

In the clock room, the Time Guardian looked at the Cell Man who was happily killing monsters and accumulating cells on the screen, and his voice revealed surprise: "...Your method is really effective. Is the so-called 'discount' so attractive?"

Li You on the side smiled: "Discounts are always tied to 'limited time' and are one of the best ways to stimulate consumer desire."

"Don't he want to fight monsters? It's okay. Let's give him a reason and motivation, and he will take the initiative to talk to monsters."

The guardian of time thought thoughtfully: "So that's it..."

She immediately said: "Okay, let's stop talking here. I'm going to prepare to change the time in the nausea cellar. Can you wait here for a while?"

Li You shook his head and said, "I also plan to find a rune to use."

The Time Guardian looked at him: "...Do you still need something like runes?"

Li You replied: "Runes are functional props. It's not a bad thing to collect more."

Sister Tokimori didn't say much, and just said: "Okay, you can go and get it. At worst, I will also adjust the time in that area. Okay, I'll take the first step."

She crossed her two swords again, and activated the strange power that could control time and space. An oval, person-high portal appeared behind her.

Tokimori jumped in without leaving any trace, and disappeared immediately.

Li You called Ai Ji and Yuzi, who was using his tentacles as cat teasers to play with Ye Ge flying around in the air, and rushed back.

He wants to get the rune that interests him the most among all the runes of the Cell Man - the spider rune.

But again, the location of the spider rune was on a map that he actually didn't want to go to.

A sleeping sanctuary guarded by a large number of One-Punch Golems.
