Infinite: From the Resident Evil

"I'll have another one, too," Alice called out, holding up her glass.

"I want one too. I want one too." Marlene, who was drinking juice nearby, saw this and also raised her hand and shouted.

"Marin, forget it. You're still young. At least wait until you're an adult." Tifa pinched Marin's face and started to make a cocktail for Alice.

While waiting for Tifa to make the cocktail, Alice lay on the counter, tilted her head, and looked at Shen Ye with a dazed look.

Then, her confused look began to turn into surprise and surprise, and in the end, there was only fear of the future in her eyes.

"Why did it suddenly become like this?" Alice muttered to herself in a voice that only she could hear. "What went wrong?"

"What's wrong with you?" Seeing Alice staring at him with complicated eyes and opening and closing her mouth several times without making any sound, Shen Ye asked curiously, "Are you drunk already?"

"No." Alice propped herself up, put the thoughts in her mind behind her, and glared at Shen Ye.

At this moment, Tifa placed the prepared wine in front of Alice. Alice picked up the glass and drank it in one breath.

"Slow down, this is not water." Shen Ye wanted to stop him, but it was too late, so he frowned and said, "What's wrong with you? Why did you suddenly become like this?"

"Nothing." Alice shook her head vigorously, then stopped looking at him and turned to face Marlene, squinting her eyes and poking her face with her fingers.

"It's so weird, could it be that her period has come?" Shen Ye couldn't figure out what was wrong with Alice, and could only attribute it to her menstrual period.

"Would you like another drink?" Tifa asked considerately, looking at Shen Ye who was full of doubts.

"Don't bother, just give me a glass of wine." Mixing cocktails is a technical job, and Shen Ye was embarrassed to let Tifa mix cocktails for him all the time.

"It's no trouble." Tifa smiled and picked up the cocktail tools again.

However, just as Tifa was pouring wine for Shen Ye, the door of the bar was opened from the outside, and a man and a woman walked in.

The man was a big guy, with muscles all over his body that made his clothes bulge out. You could tell from his appearance that he was a strong man, and more importantly, his right hand was a mechanical arm with a metallic luster.

The woman is a beautiful girl with a red scarf on her forehead and a ponytail tied with red cloth, making her look extremely young and beautiful.

"Barrett, Jesse, look who's back."

Seeing them, Tifa put down the bartending tools in her hand and waved at them vigorously.

"Who..." Barrett and Jesse had no idea what was going on in the bar when they came in. After a moment's pause, they noticed Marlene sitting next to Alice.

"Dad, Sister Jesse." Marlene greeted them.

"Marin!" Jesse exclaimed in surprise.

But before she could finish her words, the Barrett next to her rushed over at a speed that amazed her.

Carefully holding Marlene in his arms, Barrett, an incredibly strong man, said with a choked voice: "Marlene, my daughter, you are finally back."

Then he looked at Tifa and asked, "How did she come back?"

"Uncle Shen Ye and Sister Alice sent me back." Marin rubbed against her father's arms and answered for Tifa.

"It's them." Tifa pointed at Shen Ye and Alice who were sitting next to them.

"Hello." Shen Ye raised his glass and pointed it at him in the air, while Alice raised her hand lazily. The alcohol was taking effect and she was a little drunk.

Barrett put his daughter back on the chair, straightened his clothes, bowed solemnly to Shen Ye and Alice, and said, "Thank you for sending my daughter back."

"Don't be so polite. Tifa has already thanked you." Shen Ye took a sip of wine and shook his head.

"That's different, because Marlene is my daughter." Barrett said seriously, then he pulled a chair over, sat next to Marlene, and asked her in a low voice about what she had experienced in the past few days.

"Tifa, a glass of fruit wine." Jesse also pulled over a chair, but she sat next to Shen Ye. After asking Tifa for a glass of fruit wine, she began to look at Shen Ye.

As a loyal member of the Appearance Association, Jesse was generally only interested in handsome men. But for some reason, although Shen Ye was not in the category of handsome men, she unexpectedly found him very pleasing to the eye.

"Jesse, be careful." Seeing Jesse staring at Shen Ye intently, Tifa couldn't help but remind him, "He is a guest."

"I know." Jesse said indifferently, but still looked away.

"You are very popular!" Alice moved closer to Shen Ye, poked his waist with her finger, and whispered.

"Don't talk nonsense." Shen Ye slapped her hand away, but she poked his arm again.

"Alice, stop it." Shen Ye grabbed her hand and said dissatisfiedly, "If you can't drink, don't drink. Why are you trying so hard?"

"No way!" Alice curled her lips but did not pull her hand back. Then she was stunned for a moment, as if she saw something.

"Tifa, please give her a glass of ice water." Seeing Alice standing there in a daze, Shen Ye asked Tifa for a glass of ice water.

“No need.” Alice came to her senses and shook her head, pulled her hand back, and said, “I’ll just lie down for a while.”

After saying that, she ignored Shen Ye, crossed her arms, rested her chin on them, and slowly closed her eyes.

Looking at Alice's expression, Shen Ye shrugged helplessly: "Okay."

"I'm going out to have a cigarette."

After chatting with Tifa for a while, Shen Ye finished the wine in his glass, stood up, said something to Tifa, and then walked outside.

Outside the bar, Shen Ye sat on the steps, lit a cigarette, and took a big puff.

However, before he had taken a few puffs of his cigarette, he saw a car with the Shinra Company logo printed on its body suddenly driving onto the street.

Seeing the car, Shen Ye subconsciously prepared to draw his gun, but then he thought, maybe the car was just passing by, so he smiled self-deprecatingly, thinking that he was too nervous.

But he never expected that the car stopped after driving on the street opposite him.

Shen Ye immediately became restless, and as soon as he thought about it, a revolver appeared in his hand.

Kelly's telekinetic revolver.

This is an epic weapon with special effects. When shooting, it can consume telekinesis to activate special abilities, telekinesis waves.

"You better not be impulsive. I haven't used this gun before."

With the epic revolver in hand, Shen Ye was full of confidence and murmured to himself as if in anticipation.

However, the car just stayed there without any movement.

……

inside the car.

A handsome man was sitting in the back seat. He was the director of the Investigation Division "Takes" of the General Affairs Department of Shinra Company.

ever!

At this moment, he was listening to the report from his subordinates.

"Director, I'm sorry, we haven't collected any useful information about that person." The subordinate's voice sounded a little uneasy in the headset. Although he knew that his director was usually a very easy-going person, this time was different because he didn't collect any useful information.

"No information at all?" Zeng frowned, somewhat unable to believe it. The intelligence network of Shinra Company was extremely powerful, even more powerful than that of the surrendered Wutai Kingdom. But this time, they couldn't even collect information on one person. This was completely beyond his expectations.

"Yes, Director. We have not found any records of him entering the city. He must be an illegal resident." The subordinate continued, "It seems that he suddenly appeared in Midgar."

"Interesting." Zeng nodded, a hint of curiosity on his face.

"However, no one will leave any records. You continue to check." He said again.

"Yes, Director." the subordinate replied.

After turning off the communicator, Zeng looked at Shen Ye who was sitting on the steps. After thinking for a while, he gave up the idea of ​​getting off the car and told the driver to leave.

Looking at the slowly driving away car, Shen Ye breathed a sigh of relief and put the revolver back into the system space.

However, at this moment he was wondering why the people in the car came here?

"Is it because of Alice?" Shen Ye thought, but quickly denied it.

As the only ancient species left in the world, although Alice has been under the surveillance of Shinra Company, for various reasons, Shinra Company has not yet considered taking action against Alice.

"So, they are here for the Avalanche Organization?" Shen Ye thought of another possibility, but he immediately rejected it.

The current plot is still far from the time when the Mako Reactor is blown up, and the Avalanche Organization's current small-scale actions have not attracted the attention of Shinra Company.

“It’s really hard to guess!”

After thinking for a while, Shen Ye sighed helplessly, threw away the cigarette butt, got up and returned to the bar.

……

In just over ten minutes after he was out, Barrett and Marlene had finished their heart-warming conversation. At this moment, Barrett was holding a glass of wine and drinking it slowly.

Seeing Shen Ye coming in, Barrett raised his glass to him, "Shen, would you like to drink some more?"

Shen Ye was about to nod, but when he saw Alice still lying on the counter, he shook his head and said, "Next time, I want to send her back first, she needs to rest." As he said that, he pointed at Alice.

"Okay then." Although Barrett felt a little regretful, he could understand it.

"Alice, let's go home." Shen Ye walked to Alice and patted her shoulder gently.

Although Alice was a little drunk, she was still conscious. She nodded slightly and stood up by holding on to the counter.

"Uncle, Sister Alice." Seeing them leaving, Marlene was a little reluctant: "Will you come to play with Marlene again?"

"Of course, little Marlene." Alice leaned over and pinched Marlene's cheek, saying with a smile.

"It's not far anyway. We'll be there in a short while by car." Shen Ye also said.

"Then you must come, otherwise Marlene will come looking for you." Marlene said while holding Alice's hand.

"I certainly will." Alice nodded slightly, leaned over and kissed Marlene's forehead, then walked out of the bar.

"Goodbye then. And, Tifa, thank you for your hospitality. The wine tastes very good." Shen Ye said goodbye to Tifa and the others, and then followed Alice.

"Welcome to come again next time, Shen, I have many varieties here that you haven't tried yet!" Tifa said behind him.

Shen Ye didn't even look back, but just waved his hand vigorously, telling her not to worry, he would definitely come again.

Following Alice out of the bar, the two of them still walked side by side, but there was one little guy missing in the middle, so the two of them were almost shoulder to shoulder.

Maybe it was because of the wind, but when Alice was still some distance away from the station, she felt her feet becoming somewhat out of control. After she had only taken a few steps, her body went limp and she fell backwards.

Fortunately, Shen Ye had been paying attention to her. When she fell backwards, he stepped behind her and held her in his arms.

"I feel so dizzy."

Alice felt a little embarrassed by such intimate contact, but she really had no strength left, so she just gave up and put her head on Shen Ye's shoulder, muttering.

"Next time, I won't let you drink no matter what." Shen Ye said.

"Yeah!" Alice nodded: "I won't drink it next time."

"Can you still walk by yourself?" Shen Ye asked again.

Alice shook her head.
