Chapter 166 Entering Yharnam
"Is there anyone there?" Wen Qi looked at the building with the red and white umbrella icon above his head, and then opened the door after confirming that he was in the right place.
It’s just that the situation inside doesn’t look much better than outside. There are blood stains and items scattered on the floor. Tables and chairs have been smashed to pieces. There are traces of animal claws on the wall. It seems that here There seemed to be no trace of living people.
"Don't move!" A low shout and a click sounded, and the cold muzzle of the gun was pressed against his head.
Before Wen Qi had time to explain his purpose, his head was covered with a sack, his hands were tightly clamped, and it felt like he was being taken into the elevator. "Wait a minute, I am an investigator. I have been assigned to investigate. A strange situation."
No one answered him. If he hadn't been able to feel the body temperature and smell of the person restraining him, he would have thought that the people standing on both sides of his body were robots. He tried calling several times but did not get any reply. He could only rely on his status to identify himself. What state are you in right now, trying to remember the route.
But he soon gave up this meaningless approach. Although he could tell that the elevator was descending, the route after exiting the elevator was too complicated, with seven twists and turns.
Moreover, he would retreat from time to time. I don't know whether he was avoiding some mechanism or deliberately preventing him from remembering the correct route.
Not long after, he was pushed down on the seat with a strong force, and his limbs were firmly fixed in position. Only then did someone lift his hood, and the dazzling light made him squint his eyes. It took a long time to see clearly the situation in front of me.
I am located in the office. Directly across from me is a beautiful woman with long black hair tied high by a red ribbon and wearing a professional skirt. The surrounding furnishings are very simple. The bookshelves are full of ancient books. Many of the words are indistinguishable, and the ones in front of me are very simple. On the table were computers, documents, small plants for decoration and a small wooden box that was ringing with a melodious ticking sound.
"Another intruder." The woman leaned on the boss's chair with her legs crossed and said with a cold face.
"Another intruder? I was entrusted by the Investigation Bureau to investigate and solve this sudden change in the Southern District." Wen Qi explained again, and then asked: "Did someone invade before? Is that right? Qin Ge?”
"Investigation Bureau?" The woman's eyes finally relaxed after scanning the pocket watch on Wen Qi's chest. She nodded and said, "I don't know who Qin Ge you are talking about, but last night there was a sanitation worker in orange. The man in the suit broke in."
"That's him, what did he do here?"
"He's going to Yharnam to find a cure for himself."
"Yanan?" Wen Qi asked doubtfully.
"That was a town at this location in the southern district of Jinling City hundreds of years ago. Now it has long been buried in history. The bell tower you see outside is the building left at that time. According to the few remaining records, the time of Yanan It was cut off at the beginning of a certain day." The woman took out a wolf-looking skull from the desk drawer, which was covered with messy fonts.
"From the fragments left behind, we can know that there was a widespread belief that a treatment method called blood therapy could cure all diseases."
"Going back hundreds of years ago? This is a bit of a fantasy." Wen Qi laughed dumbly, but when he saw the woman's serious expression, he couldn't help but gradually fade away his smile, and asked uncertainly: "He really went back?"
"Come with me." The woman untied his shackles, led the way and introduced herself: "I am the person in charge of the umbrella company, Jiang Li."
"Investigator, a person from the underworld." Wen Qi smacked his lips. He regretted it a little. He should have chosen a name after the underworld point if he had known earlier.
Jiang Li led him through the long corridor without saying a word, and came to a large, round, open door. All the offices in the entire corridor were tightly closed, and there were not even windows, making them look mysterious. It's mysterious, but judging from the decoration style, it doesn't look like a company, but more like a research institute.
"Is this?" Wen Qi couldn't help but widen his eyes after seeing clearly what was happening behind the door. Inside was a glass tunnel with various strange items displayed on both sides.
It has two wings on its back, a statue that resembles an octopus head, a soft mask engraved with yellow marks, huge spider limbs, scales the size of a human...
One of the display cabinets was smashed, and a palm-sized spider statue fell to the ground. Black-red blood flowed from it, but the blood was very strange, as if it was bound by some invisible force, forming in front of it. There was a seemingly bottomless pool of blood, and faint roars and murmurs could be heard.
There are several white and brand-new skeletons around, wearing combat uniforms with the red and white logo of the Umbrella Company printed on them.
"He jumped into this pool." Jiang Li pointed to the pool on the ground and said, "We also asked security personnel to try to enter, but every time they touched this mass of blood, they would turn into skeletons. From the time this mass of blood appeared, outside Something happened.”
"I'm just curious, how does Qin Ge know that we have this statue and its function?"
"Everything in this has not been leaked to the outside world, and even we don't know what these things are used for. We only collected them for research purposes."
"Tramegonoctahedron." Wen Qi murmured. He remembered that Qin Singer had a token of a god in his possession, and he might have received guidance through this strange crystal.
"What is that?" Jiang Li tilted his head slightly, looking a little confused.
"I don't know either. It's just that Qin Ge got it from Silent Hill. Maybe he came here because of its influence." Wen Qi shook his head and replied, "I want to go in too, to see what he wants to do."
"Of course, if you are not afraid of becoming like them." Jiang Li did not stop him, but frowned and said, "After all, we also want to control the situation as soon as possible. It would be best if your investigation bureau can help solve it."
Wen Qi jumped into it without any nonsense. His body immediately sank uncontrollably, as if countless hands were pulling him from below. The smelly blood poured into his mouth and nose, leaving no room for breathing.
This small pool of blood seemed to be bottomless, and the sinking process was particularly long. He barely opened his eyes and could see a group of ghost faces like oil paintings in the chaotic darkness. They were twisted and screaming silently, as if they were cursing the world with their own pain.
The feeling of drowning is really uncomfortable. It must be that Qin Laozhe deliberately set it up to torture the players.
This was the last thought that came to Wen Qi's mind before he lost consciousness. He could already see the clock tower and the fire beneath his feet.
