I'm the main character in Resident Evil

"This is a prop I found in a studio. It's a white statue, exactly the same as the black statue you found in the storage room, Javier. This should be the prop needed for the Libra statue, but I found that there is a part missing on their backs. There must be a missing prop that has not been found."

Rebecca took out a white statue from the waist bag on her back and handed it to Javier. When Javier saw the statue, his eyes lit up slightly. He hurriedly took out the pair of white wings from the Book of Goodness he had found, compared Rebecca's statue with the wings, and soon they fit together perfectly. It was indeed a pair of props!

"Eh?"

"They can actually fit together. What's the deal with this book and the wings?"

Seeing the perfectly fitted statue in Javier's hand, Rebecca was slightly stunned. She didn't expect that this white statue really had parts. What she just said was just her guess. Staring at the white book in Javier's hand, Rebecca also showed a puzzled expression, not understanding where this book came from.

"This is a prop I found in a library. It's called the Book of Good. It seems that... this book and the statue are a pair. We have now found the complete white statue of good, and only the wings of the black statue of evil are left. We can leave here if we find the opposite book of evil."

Perhaps he sensed Rebecca's doubtful gaze,

Javier quickly explained that the progress was very fast and they only needed to find the last item. However, it seemed that the Book of Evil was not that easy to find. After all, they did not have any clues at all.

but,

At this very moment,

Billy Cohen, who was standing by, promptly provided the clues and props he had found.

"Wait, Javier, there's something I haven't seen yet!"

"I remember you also have this prop in your hand, this microfilm. I got this microfilm by relying on the clues to the clock puzzle. Maybe it contains some important information. If we can play it, we may find new clues. There should be a film projector in this research institute, otherwise the people from the Umbrella Company would not have put this prop here for no reason."

Just when Javier and Rebecca were at a loss,

Billy Cohen took out the white palm-sized microfilm from his trouser pocket. These films were no different from the film in the camera. If inserted into the projector, the information recorded in the film would be displayed. Billy Cohen did not think that this was ordinary garbage. There must be some important information in it.

Perhaps this is their final clue to finding the Last Book of Evil—

As expected,

After hearing Billy's words, Javier and Rebecca couldn't help but get excited. As expected of a strong support, Billy Cohen, as the secondary protagonist of Resident Evil 0, always provides very important help at critical moments.

After Billy Cohen's reminder, Javier also remembered a piece of information that he had almost forgotten:

"Two meetings of Class 1 confidentiality will be held at the following locations: F2 West Operations Command Room, F Southeast Conference Room..."

Yes,

When Javier first entered the institute,

Information found on damaged files,

There is no doubt that the conference room must have a projector that can play microfilm. After all, in the conference room in 1988, projectors were often used to play various recorded image data when explaining various matters. While giving a speech, the images presented by the projector were discussed, just like multimedia projection, but it was not so advanced at that time.

So head to the meeting room,

This is the only goal of Javier and the other two...

Chapter 27 Emergency Passage

"Crack!"

With the key of the institute, Javier and the other two opened the door of the southeast conference room. As expected, rows of familiar seats appeared in the conference room, just like a movie theater. At the front was an old projector, which was pointed directly at the curtain of the podium.

no doubt,

This was the place where Marcus often taught students and held meetings at the institute. Javier and the other two hurried to the back of the projector in the conference room and found two sockets on it, which corresponded to the two microfilms found by Billy Cohen.

Not only that,

In the corner of the counter in the conference room, there was a torn document hidden secretly. No, to be more precise, it should be a diary, because the record style on it was not so formal and rigorous. On the contrary, it was very much like a certain complaint draft. The sharp-eyed Javier soon found the torn document and took it up. It actually recorded the story of the two brothers Wesker and William.

"Another bunch of useless guys. Where did the headquarters find these rubbish? It's a waste of time. However... there are still some excellent talents, so there is nothing to complain about."

"William and Wesker, these two people will have great achievements in the future, but William is a scholar, and Wesker is a man of action. The two have different styles, and they will always compare with each other no matter what they do. But there is one thing that they have in common, that is, they are equally cold-blooded and ruthless..."

"I suddenly received an order from the director, asking me to encourage the two to compete with each other. Tsk, this is the first time that Director Marcus is interested in something other than research. I don't know why, but it doesn't matter. I will make them hate each other to the core..."

It is a draft document written temporarily during a meeting.

The white paper still had traces of several holes pierced by a carbon pen, showing that the person who wrote this casual draft was also dissatisfied with William and Wesker. Perhaps it was the relationship between the two that was too outstanding that aroused jealousy.

But looking at this draft document,

Javier on the side couldn't help but smile helplessly.

Hate it to the core,

I'm afraid I'm overthinking it. These two people almost became relatives. Wesker planted the seeds somewhere and got his own son born. Later, he partnered up with William's daughter Shirley. The only thing missing was the onlookers starting to shout "get together"!

"What are you looking at……?"

Seeing Javier suddenly burst into laughter,

Rebecca beside him suddenly came over and asked in confusion, but Javier quickly returned to his original state, coughed dryly, and continued to pretend a cold expression, explaining lightly:

"Cough cough..."

"Nothing, just some funny diaries of the researchers. Never mind... let's not talk about it. Where's the microfilm? Didn't the projector show anything?"

Seeing Rebecca's curious look,

In order to avoid spoilers, Javier quickly pushed Rebecca away and calmly changed the subject. At the same time, he walked towards Billy Cohen. From the beginning... Billy Cohen had started to debug the projector equipment, but it had not been completed yet.

And seeing Javier cleverly change the subject,

Rebecca did not pay attention to the damaged document Javier threw away. She rolled her eyes, put her hands behind her back and hurried after him. She then began to explain:

"Billy said that the projector's circuits were a bit old and the power supply couldn't be connected, so we had to wait a while."

As expected,

Billy Cohen was busy repairing the projector. He took apart the outer shell and burned the wires with a lighter. After the outer plastic was burned, he twisted the copper wires out with his hands, re-twisted them together, and connected the power supply.

"Pfft..."

“Sizzle…”

After a burst of sparks and lightning,

The aging power supply was powered on again, and the projector's lights began to light up, reading the information on the microfilm. Soon, a black and white image suddenly appeared in front of Javier and the other two.

The above is a bird's-eye view of the conference room seats.

At the same time, when the two films overlapped, a series of red numbers appeared on each seat in the overhead image of the conference room seats. The order from top to bottom and from left to right was:

【0 1 2 3】

【4 5 6 7】

【8 9 AB】

【CDEF】

There are ten seats in total.

Each seat has a unique number.

There is basically no need to guess, this should be some kind of key clue, but I just don't know how to use it.

but,

Just at this time,

"Crack——!"

Just when the film finished playing, a crisp sound suddenly came from the table under the projector, as if some hidden lock was opened. Seeing this, Billy Cohen quickly reached out and opened the drawer under the table. Inside was a disk wrapped in a blue shell.

"..."

"It's a disk, but how do I use it?"

Seeing the disk in the drawer, not only Billy Cohen, but even Rebecca beside him frowned in confusion. There was no way... It seemed that there were more and more puzzle elements, and what was even more unbearable was that they didn't have much clue at the moment, and didn't know what the real purpose of these films and disks was.

But seeing this,

Javier hurried to the podium.

The podium was not an ordinary one. It had a computer-like screen on it, and there were many sockets and keyboards next to it, and even a disk socket. There was no doubt that this was actually a multimedia podium, and the equipment inside was connected to a computer.

without hesitation,

Javier waved his hand and quickly asked Billy Cohen to put the disk into the socket of the podium. As expected... the gray-white podium screen suddenly lit up, and a blue computer interface came into view, with the Umbrella Corporation logo in the upper right corner.

"Om..."

"The status of the conference room emergency escape passage: locked. To unlock it, you must insert a dedicated disk... It has been detected that the disk has been inserted. Please continue to enter the password to unlock it. The password is 0A..."

Seeing the words on the podium screen,

Javier frowned slightly.

He stretched out his finger and typed the two letters 0A on the keyboard under the screen, but there was no response at all in the conference room. There was not even a sound. This made Javier feel very strange. He did not understand the meaning of this password.

But soon...

Javier turned his head.

He immediately looked at the microfilm image on the projector curtain. There was a series of red numbers and letters on it, which looked very similar to the keyboard under the podium screen. After slightly changing his mindset, Javier quickly knew how to solve the puzzle.

"I see……"

"Rebecca, Billy, look at the film image playing on the projector curtain. The password is 0A, which corresponds to the seats below, the first seat in the first row and the third seat in the third row. There are buttons on the seats above, press them at the same time!"

without hesitation,

Javier, who had a clear mind, immediately gave instructions to Rebecca and Billy Cohen in front of him. Although Billy Cohen and Rebecca could not react for a while, they still listened to Javier's words obediently, walked to the designated seats, and pressed the buttons above at the same time.

"Crack——!"

"Crack——!"

Press both buttons at the same time.

Suddenly, a strange noise was heard from the right back side of the entire conference room. The sword of the knight statue suddenly rose slowly, and the iron door that was originally closed suddenly opened. Perhaps this iron door was the "emergency exit" of the conference room mentioned on the screen on the podium just now?

Chapter 28 Black and White Chess

After successfully solving the puzzle,

Javier and the other two found the entrance to the emergency passage, which was located on the side of the conference room. It was connected to an emergency escape passage that looked like a long corridor. Although it was called an escape passage, there were still various picture frames hanging on the walls.

One can't help but sigh...

As expected of Marcus, he never misses any blank space where he can display his art. Only when he fills that unique taste can I be satisfied.

but,

There are also several zombies lurking in the emergency passage.

They should be the researchers who tried to escape from here. Unfortunately, they were trapped and died here. They were even infected. It was so pitiful. Javier couldn't bear it. He just reloaded a few shotgun bullets and sent these people to see God early. Why did they have to block the way?

At the end of the emergency escape route,

It is connected to Marcus' office.

After Javier and the other two simply dealt with the remaining zombies, they entered Marcus' office.

"Clang-!"

Open the door.

What catches your eye is the medieval room decoration, with various retro-style furniture placed inside. On the central floor of the room is a huge chessboard, also known as Western chess. The huge black and white grids are the chessboard. Western chess has a total of 32 pieces, divided into two groups of black and white. Each side has 16 pieces, and there are 6 types of soldiers, namely the king, queen, chariot, bishop, knight, and pawn.

The rules and gameplay are similar to Chinese chess, with each type of soldier having their own way of moving. Although there are still some differences, you can play it smoothly soon after getting familiar with it. It is a good puzzle game. Seeing such a large chessboard placed in the middle of the room, and the chess pieces as big as stone pillars, we can also see the interest of Marcus, the director.

It should be the temperament of flattering genius-

After all, these chess pieces are just toys used to show off Marcus's intelligence. Of course... they could also be specially designed mechanical props.

Not only that,

On Marcus's desk, there is also a black and white chessboard. The two should be somewhat related.

"chess?"

"Does Dr. Marcus usually like to play with these things...?"
