I squatted down, and with a smile, I extended my little finger and said, "Okay, let's pinky swear. Neither of us can tell anyone that this is our secret."
Their fingers were intertwined. At that moment, I probably didn't realize that this would be the most painful decision for him. Not for any other reason, but simply because his playful attitude would lead to many regrets, until...
————————————————————I am the dividing line of time——————————————————————————---—
I have been a housekeeper for 10 years. During that time, I have encountered many things and learned that the world I live in is the 'Infinite' world. As for Ying Kong and Zhui Kong's identities, that was just a means for the Zhao family to test me. However, I will not expose them. Let them think what they want. I am just doing what I should do.
However, later, some admirers of mine organized an "organization" called the "Butler Association." Every butler trained by this organization became a capable individual, and the organization quickly spread throughout the world, both the underworld and the real world. I, in particular, became known as the "strongest butler" through rumors. That wouldn't have been so bad, but somehow they found out I was with the Zhao family and soon approached me, asking me to design a badge for them. To appease them, I drew a shield with wings for them. To avoid arousing suspicion, I added a line: "A butler is a shield protecting his master, but we have wings; we are free. We are not our master's slaves; we are his loyal right and left hands. Those who treat us as slaves are not worthy to be our masters!" "And so the news got out, and I gained more attention around the world, which made me quite depressed for a while. Not long after, I received a gift from the 'Butler Association': a diamond-encrusted badge and a letter. The letter said that they used this as the organization's symbol, with badges of silver, gold, another metal, and red and blue gemstones representing the following levels: Trainee Butler (the traditional butler), Junior Butler (possessing certain skills, such as firearms or hand-to-hand combat, sufficient to deal with ordinary people), Intermediate Butler (possessing a certain skill in a specific field), Senior Butler (possessing more than one skill in a specific field), Top Butler (possessing three or more skills and their own signature skill), and finally, my badge with pure diamond wings, which represents the pinnacle of butlers."
In the Zhao family's courtyard, I was pruning flowers and plants, having reverted to my pre-transmigration appearance. Suddenly, I stopped and turned to the person behind me, saying, "Oh, it's Young Master Zhui Kong. Have you completed your mission? I heard your mission this time was to kill the king of a small country. Did you have any exciting stories to tell?"
Zhao Zhuikong glanced at me and said coldly, "You know my abilities better than anyone else. Don't say things that make me feel ashamed. Do you even need to ask about tasks that aren't difficult?"
"Oh, I'm sorry, young master. Actually, I just wanted to ask about Miss Sakura's situation, because I haven't seen Miss Sakura for a while," I said with a smile.
"Is that so? Then you don't need to ask me. Ying Kong is back. Go ask her yourself," Zhao Zhuikong replied coldly.
"Really? Thank you, young master. By the way, young master, you just finished your mission and came back. Have you had lunch yet? If not, I'll prepare some for you." I smiled again.
However, Zhao Zhuikong didn't say anything and went straight back to his room, which told me that I could go prepare food.
Seeing this, I laughed and said, "Miss Yingkong, since you're back, why don't you come out?" A pretty girl of about 15 or 6 years old with a somewhat androgynous look emerged from the flower bushes, saying repeatedly, "Big brother, really, why did you have to tell me? I wanted to give you a surprise, Brother Tian!" After saying this, she smiled and said to me, "Brother Tian, I missed you so much! Did you miss me?"
"I don't want to...that's impossible," I replied with a smile.
"Oh, Brother Tian, you're so mean! You're always bullying Yingkong! I'm not coming anymore!" Zhao Yingkong said, hugging me and acting coquettishly after hearing my reply.
"Alright, Miss Yingkong, please don't do this. It's not good if others see this. I'm just a housekeeper!" I said, looking at Zhao Yingkong who was hugging me.
"No, I want it this way! I haven't seen Brother Tian for a whole month!"
"That won't do either. You're a young lady, and even though we haven't seen each other for a month, it's time to stop hugging after all this time. I really want to know what you would do if I left or disappeared one day! Heh..."
Hearing me say that, Zhao Yingkong hugged me even tighter, saying, "Brother Tian won't leave, right? You won't leave Yingkong, will you?"
Looking at Sakura in my arms, I began to realize that I had fallen in love with this young lady. What started as a playful act had become genuine affection. I stroked her head and said with a smile, "Of course, Brother Tian won't leave Miss Sakura!" I paused slightly, then smiled and said, "Alright, Miss Sakura, you haven't eaten yet, have you? I'll prepare something for you in a bit." With that, I pulled her away and turned to prepare something.
Time sometimes flies. Late at night, I returned to my room and lay wearily on the bed. I began to recall the various things that had happened during my ten years as the butler of the Zhao family. After thinking for a while, I took a deep breath and sat up. Then I went to the bathroom. No matter what, I should take a shower first. At the same time, I cursed Zhao Zhuikong, that pervert, in my heart. This evening, that brat Zhao Zhuikong asked me to help train him again. I had no choice but to do it. After all, he is my young master. So after I had knocked him down countless times, he finally said that there was no need for training today. And let me clarify, calling it training was actually just one-sided torture. After showering, I got dressed and sat in front of the computer. At the same time, I thought that if I hadn't watched Zhao Zhuikong and Zhao Yingkong grow up over the past ten years, I probably wouldn't have thought I was in the "Infinite" world. When will I be able to reach the main god space in the "Infinite"? That's the question I want to know most right now. While pondering this question, I checked what major events had recently occurred. "Do you want to understand the meaning of life? Do you want to truly...live?" A sentence suddenly popped up on the computer screen—this was clearly the key to entering the "Main God Space." Before I could think further, a sentence appeared in my mind: "Kid, you've been waiting for this day for a long time, haven't you? Now you will enter that 'space,' and your team will be the protagonist's Central Continent Team, so please enjoy your infinite life to the fullest (can this really be called enjoyment?). Hearing this voice, I really wanted to click to enter immediately, but I calmed down first, because I wasn't wearing any clothes, just a yukata. I quickly put on my butler's uniform, wrote a note for Zhao Yingkong, and sat down at the computer again, lightly clicking the "YES" button. Instantly, I lost consciousness...
Chapter 6, Let's Begin the Biohazard
Cold, shivering...
That's how I felt at that moment. I slowly opened my eyes, and then I heard a voice say, "Not bad, you were the first to wake up. Among you, your quality is considered good." Needless to say, the one who said this must be Zhang Jie, who is both the captain and the instructor.
I slowly sat up and looked around. The first thing I saw was a black-haired young man staring at me with a cold smile. He was about twenty-four or twenty-five years old, with an extremely ordinary appearance, but several scars ran across his face, making him look quite ferocious and terrifying. Beside him lay five other people, four men and two women. In addition, there were more than a dozen foreigners in this enclosed environment. Among the four men, one was dressed as a white-collar worker, which seemed to be the great philanthropist Zheng Zha. "That's right, it seems that I am indeed in the infinite horror world," I thought to myself.
At this moment, the protagonist of Infinite also woke up. I slowly sat up, but he suddenly jumped up from the ground and looked around in panic.
Seeing his reaction, Zhang Jie said to him, "Not bad, you're one of the better people here this time!"
"Where is this place? Who are you? Why am I here?" Zheng Zha immediately asked in a foreign language, as if afraid we wouldn't understand.
"Think about it carefully, it should have already implanted all of this into your mind," Zhang Jie replied with a smile.
Watching their conversation, I glanced at the remaining people. All the newbies had woken up. Zhang Jie said, "This is Resident Evil Part 1. Newbies, you're really lucky. You've encountered such an easy horror movie on your first visit. Even if you die, it'll be an easy death." He then took a deep drag on his cigarette and stubbed it out in his hand.
"You mean we're just entering the computer with our consciousness, like something out of a fantasy novel, and once we finish playing this game, our consciousness will return to our bodies and we'll be resurrected?" A chubby boy sitting on the ground next to Zheng Zha asked.
Zhang Jie pulled a Desert Eagle pistol from his pocket. He opened the pistol and started adjusting it, saying, "I don't know if it's a consciousness, but you will feel pain, get injured, and die. And you're wrong too. After you finish this game, you will enter the next unknown horror movie. You may have seen this horror movie, or you may not. Each time, the 'God' will send in new members to fill the gaps left by the newcomers who died in the previous horror movie. Each time, the number is between seven and twenty. In other words, this biohazard is a very low-risk horror movie, so there are only eight of us in total."
The chubby boy sneered, "How do you know those dead people haven't already returned to their bodies? Maybe they even chose to die themselves." (The rest is omitted.)
I looked at the chubby boy, who was trembling with fear, a gun shoved into his mouth, preventing him from even begging for mercy. I chuckled to myself, thinking, "How boring, the same consequence as in the original story." Zheng Zha and the other two men and two women then separated them, but I remained silent. Zhang Jie, who had pulled them away, continued to stroke his pistol, saying, "In horror movies, death is real death, and you'll be tortured to death by the demons in these movies. You'll die a horrible death, so if you don't have the will to live, if I were you, I would commit suicide immediately."
Then Zhan Lan, the busty beauty from the novel, said, "So, we can't go back into our bodies?"
Zhang Jie glanced at her and said, "The quality of the new recruits this time is really good... That's right, there is indeed hope of going back."
After he finished speaking, all six of them except me held their breath and stared straight at Zhang Jie.
"Each time you complete a mission, that is, survive this horror movie, you will receive a thousand reward points. These thousand reward points can be exchanged for many things, such as the right to live in this horror movie world for a hundred days..." Zhang Jie said calmly.
Watching them reenact the novel's content for me, they finally got to the point. Zhang Jie raised his left hand, displaying a simple, antique-style black metal watch. Like everyone else, I looked at my left hand, where I also had a watch. This watch displayed several numbers: a countdown of three hours and seven minutes, and a summary of data: the number of zombies, the number of crawlers, the number of newcomers…
Just then, we heard Zhang Jie say, "For every ten zombies killed, you get one reward point; for every crawler killed, you get one hundred reward points; for every newbie killed... you get one thousand reward points..." Then Zheng Zha, Zhan Lan, and I quietly looked back at him.
"Of course, it's a negative reward point..."
——————————————————---——I'm a lazy dividing line——————————————————————--————
Zhang Jie raised his arm and pointed to his watch, saying, "Look at your watch. Isn't there a name in the upper left corner? Say it out loud."
"Matthew; Addison!"
"This is the mercenary captain in the movie. This movie is a regional horror film, and the plot only takes place in this laboratory. To limit the difficulty, 'God' can't escape the plot area too far in this kind of horror movie. If we leave Matthew Addison's location by more than 100 meters, we'll... just go 'boom' and everything will be gone, understand? When he dies in the plot, this restriction will be applied to the other characters in the plot, and so on. We can only desperately try to survive in this horror movie," Zhang Jie explained.
At this moment, Zheng Zha suddenly asked, "What is that 'main god'? You've been using that name before."
"The 'Main God' should be the thing that manages our entry into this horror movie loop. It gives us reward points, and the redemption is also done through it. The 'Main God' is a ball of light, and in fact, I have no idea what it is," Zhang Jie said, waving his hand.
The bespectacled Zhan Lan asked again, "One last question... what does this number represent?" She pointed to the countdown on her watch.
“You have to stay in this horror movie for a certain amount of time. Once the time is up, you can return alive to the ‘God’ to receive your reward and then face the next horror movie,” Zhang Jie replied.
Just then, the carriage began to slow down. Zhang Jie finished his cigarette in a few puffs, took out his Desert Eagle from his pocket, and said, "Alright, the plot starts now. They can hear our conversation from now on. Remember, if they hear our conversation, you'll lose ten points. Ten points for each sentence. The negative points will be deducted from your next reward. Rookies... try to survive!" After hearing what he said, I thought to myself, "It's finally starting. I've been waiting for this day for ten years."
The train car gradually slowed down until it came to a stop. The dozen or so foreign mercenaries, guns in hand, cautiously emerged. Zhang Jie was the first to walk out, and Zhan Lan glanced at us before following suit. Watching the black man named Matthew Addison walk away, Zheng Zha and the others all followed. I, on the other hand, rushed to Guan Ruien's train car to collect the reward points and side quest, as I vaguely remembered reading in some fanfiction that obtaining T-Virus and its antidote might grant reward points and side quests. I found a metal box inside a black bag. Seeing it was a combination lock, I immediately used my energy to break the lock. I then obtained six T-Virus vials and the antidote. I closed the metal box, preparing to catch up with the troops. Just as I stood up, an extremely cold and emotionless voice echoed in my mind along with some information:
"Obtain T-level Pain Poison, each vial grants 1000 points and one D-level side quest upon returning to the Main God Space."
"Obtain the T-Pain Antidote. Each dose rewards 1000 points and one D-level side quest upon returning to the Main God Space."
"Obtain the syringe, return to the Main God Space to receive a reward of 10 points."
I smiled slightly after hearing the notification, thinking to myself, "There really are reward points, and the voice of the main god is just like the one described in the book—completely emotionless." I immediately caught up with the troops. Outside the carriage was a station platform. At that moment, a busty beauty tugged at my sleeve and said, "Why are you so slow? What were you doing just now?" I looked at her, surprised that she had noticed me. Of course, I didn't tell her why, but just smiled and said, "Sometimes, some things just have to be resolved." She gave me a knowing look and then fell silent.
The group continued upwards along the platform. Soon, at the junction of the station platform and the laboratory entrance, a closed steel gate blocked their way. There was a set of special symbols on the gate, indicating the company behind the laboratory and the danger at this location!
We followed closely behind the mercenaries. When we reached the gate, a beautiful woman in a fiery red dress with a high slit suddenly asked the black man, Matthew Addison, "I want to know who you are? And what exactly happened here?" Needless to say, she was Alice, the female protagonist of Resident Evil.
Matthew Addison turned to look at her, then waved to the other mercenaries, who quickly took out some machinery from their packs and began hacking at the gate. He continued, "We are employed by UMBELLA, including you... This gate leads to the 'Honeycomb,' and you are a registered gate security guard for the company, which is why we brought you along."
Alice looked confused. She stroked a wedding ring on her finger and murmured, "Then what is this?"
Matthew Addison nodded and said, "You're not married. It's just a cover-up, and also a sign that you're protecting the hive."
"So what is a beehive?" asked Ryan, the corporate spy who planned to steal the T-virus.
Matthew Addison didn't answer his question, but instead said to another mercenary, "Show them."
The man nodded, then took out a laptop and started typing on the keyboard. After a moment, some images appeared on his laptop.
"This is the passage into the Hive... The Hive is deep underground in Raccoon City. This is the building where we found you. We boarded the train that went underground, and the train brought us to the entrance of the Hive, which is where we are standing now."
The images on the screen kept changing, and finally a building resembling a beehive appeared on the computer screen.
"This is the Hive, a top-secret research facility hidden deep underground, owned and overseen by Umberella. Inside the Hive are five hundred scientists and other staff who conduct research here on certain confidential matters, which are of vital importance to the company. Of course, even we don't know these confidential matters. This is where we are now, as indicated by the thermal sensors."
Matthew Addison explained slowly, and the computer screen showed everyone's location: we were standing on the vehicle combat platform at the top of the Hive, and anyone who had seen Resident Evil knew that this was an absolutely safe place, but in a moment, it would become a death zone.
"And what about them?" Alice suddenly pointed at us. Apart from Zhang Jie and me, Zheng Zha and the others were immediately shocked, because they had always thought of themselves as people living outside of reality, believing that horror movies were just horror movies, and the characters in the plot could not possibly interact with them. They only needed to avoid those terrifying monsters. Now they saw the female lead of Resident Evil 1 pointing at them and talking to them.
Matthew Addison said, "They are also security guards here, and the company has their information on them... but I doubt whether the company's upper management has made a mistake. Apart from the Asian man being a qualified soldier, these people are just ordinary citizens."
Zheng Zha and the others looked enlightened. Zhang Jie had been observing their expressions, but when he looked at me, he was taken aback because I had been smiling the whole time, which made him a little annoyed.
Then Ryan asked again, "Why did I lose my memory? I can't remember anything from my past."
Matthew Addison said, "The Hive has its own defense system, controlled by the Hive's central computer, the Flame Queen. When the Hive is identified as being attacked, the central computer will release a nerve gas that will make people unconscious for about four hours. After waking up, a series of side effects will occur, one of which is that the human body loses its memory."
Ryan then asked, "Amnesia? How long will this state last?"
Matthew Addison shook his head and said, "It depends on the individual's physical condition; it could be an hour, a day, or even a week."
Another young man, who wasn't a mercenary, suddenly asked, "You mean the hive has been attacked? Are there terrorists inside?"
Matthew Addison immediately looked at him and slowly said, "...Maybe it's even worse than that..."
Anyone who has seen Resident Evil knows who this person is: Matt, a non-company employee who came to find his sister. His sister was a senior researcher inside the Hive. After learning that the company was researching the T-virus and discovering its horrors, she tried to report this to the government. The outsider she contacted happened to be the female protagonist. Before she could steal the virus, it had already been stolen and leaked by Ryan. Afterwards, his sister also turned into a zombie after inhaling the virus.
Afterwards, we entered the research institute. I watched everything unfold without saying a word. That's when I saw Zheng Zha chatting with Matt, which I guessed was just like in the novels. Then we arrived at the physical fitness test for the new recruits, because we had to reach the bottom floor within ten minutes. With Matthew Addison's command, "Take the stairs! You must reach the bottom floor within ten minutes! Everyone, keep up!" the first challenge for the new recruits in the biohazard began—excluding me, of course.
Chapter 7 Elimination and Introduction
Among those running up the stairs, the mercenaries' qualities are naturally beyond question. The female protagonist has an evolved T-virus in her body, so her physical abilities are naturally far superior to others. The other two male protagonists, Ryan and Matt, are also quite good. Zhang Jie has already watched three horror movies, and even if he only uses a small portion of the rewards to enhance himself, his physical abilities are definitely superior to ordinary people.
Of the remaining six, Zheng Zha is a white-collar worker, but he has always enjoyed exercising and spends at least a whole day at the gym every week. According to him, this is how he can tame the flirtatious nature of those white-collar women, so his physical strength is slightly stronger than that of the average person.
The girl with glasses looked delicate and frail, and she wasn't physically strong either. Moreover, being a girl, she was even weaker than a man. However, she was very clever. When she first started running up the stairs, she grabbed Zhang Jie's clothes, so that Zhang Jie would bear some of the weight. Zhang Jie only glanced at her and, without saying a word, led her ahead.
The chubby young man with a large belly was about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. He was covered in fat and his body jiggled. He started panting heavily after running for a short while, and his speed gradually decreased.
There were three others, including a middle-aged man who appeared to be a manual laborer. Although he didn't run very fast, he kept up with the main group and never fell behind.
A middle-aged woman, whose speed was even slower than the chubby boy, could only move downwards step by step in the end.
The last person was a teenager, extremely ordinary-looking, and not particularly strong in terms of physical strength. In short, he was the kind of person who would disappear into the crowd. His speed was the same as the middle-aged man's, neither fast nor slow, and he just followed closely behind the main group.
For me, it was a piece of cake. Even without using my internal strength, it was an easy task to run with just my physical body. So I followed behind Zheng Zha and ran at about the same speed as them.
After running for a short while, the chubby boy and the middle-aged woman had disappeared from sight. Just then, Zhang Jie suddenly announced, "Two out..."
Zheng Zha, who was running beside him, asked curiously, "What? Two people are out?"
Zhang Jie sneered, "Them! Don't take my words lightly. This is the real world. We will die here. Maybe you don't realize it yet and just think this is a movie? If you leave his side by a hundred meters, he will explode. That's one of the rules. They... are doomed!"
"boom!"
Whether it was Zhang Jie's words, the sound of the explosion, or a butterfly effect caused by me, Zhan Lan, who was holding onto Zhang Jie's clothes, suddenly twisted her ankle and fell on the steps. Zhang Jie glanced at her briefly, then ignored her and continued running forward. In that instant, I saw despair in her eyes. I looked at Zheng Zha again; although I saw pity in his eyes, he didn't stop either. As for the extras and the young man, they showed no intention of helping her, simply stepping over her and continuing to run forward.
I didn't want her to die so easily. If the butterfly effect were too great, I might never see my beloved Sakura Sora again. So, as I passed by her, I stopped in front of her and said with a smile, "Miss, do you need any help?"
She looked at me, her eyes filled with pity, and said loudly, "Don't worry about me. I twisted my ankle. You can't save me. You'd better run, or you'll die too. I don't want to..."
Before she could finish speaking, I had already scooped her up in a princess carry, lifted my feet and continued running forward, while smiling and saying to her, "I'm sorry, miss! The word 'failure to help someone in distress' doesn't exist in my dictionary yet." I completely ignored the warnings from my inner voice.
"Warning, seventy meters away from Matthew; Addison..."
After I caught up with the main group, Zheng Zha gave me a thumbs up, clearly pleased with my rescue efforts. However, he didn't look too good, probably because of the two explosions.
As they drew closer to the end of the stairs, a mercenary suddenly shouted, "Sir, the Flame Queen has locked onto us; she knows we're here!"
Who is the Flame Queen?
