There is something wrong with my infinite flow teammates!

Chapter 27: Find Him and Return the Gift

While Yukino was confronting Bella, Tomoki Sakurai sneaked out and ran alone in the Silent Hill town without a clue.

"Aren't they just cursed people? Why would the holy water have an effect on her?" The middle school student looked panicked, tightly gripping the glass container in his hand and gasping for breath.

"I will, I will be killed, I ruined their plan, I will definitely be killed, just like that old lady... I don't want to die, I don't want to die like this, I still have a lot of things to do, how can I die like this! Bastard!"

Sakurai Tomoki yelled and ran as fast as he could, his mind racing: "But how can we be forgiven? The only safe place in this world is the church, but those people in the church have already regarded us as demons..."

"Why, I just don't want to come out, but..."

As he was talking, the boy suddenly stopped in shock. A voice suddenly popped up in his mind. It was because of this voice that he came to this world.

"Player: Tomoki Sakurai starts the side quest, 'The Secret of the Holy Society of Apocalypse' (optional)."

"Each member who completes the mission will be rewarded with 2000 points and a C-level exchange card."

"Side quest completion conditions:???"

"Penalty for failing a side quest: None."

"Note: This mission is shared by the team. The points and items awarded to the members of the Izumo team will be distributed to the team points column after they return safely. If a member dies during the mission, the points will be deducted."

"Side quest, the secret of the cult..."

Sakurai Tomoki stood there in a daze, and it took him a while to come to his senses: "I started... a side quest?"

When we first arrived in this world and were still in the hotel, the captain explained to everyone the main purpose of this mission and also gave a brief explanation of the background of this world.

So, it was a good thing that he accidentally caused this incident by wanting to please Bella and persuade her to let him stay in the church?

Because in this world, 'points' and 'exchange cards' are the most important things. The reason why the captain is so strong and Miss Yukinoshita can use extraordinary mysterious powers is because they use points to exchange for abilities.

Could it be that I did a good thing? They should have heard the announcement just now, so that woman should not kill me!

Because those cultists were going to die anyway, and the captain's original plan was to help Alesha get revenge, right? If extra rewards can be added under this premise, isn't this something to be happy about?

So, how about taking a gamble, going back to everyone and betting that the woman won't kill me. If she can forgive me, it's better than facing those monsters alone. Even if I survive, I'll still have to face them when I return to the space that the captain mentioned.

Tomoki Sakurai looked hesitant, as if he was having a fierce psychological struggle. After a long time, he shook his head vigorously, turned around, and was stunned again.

"Where is this place..."

The boy looked at the white world. He was overwhelmed by fear and panic. He ran here as fast as he could. Then he found sadly that he was lost.

I looked around in confusion. There were only old buildings that looked like they had been burned by flames, but this should be a commercial street. Although I didn't recognize the English signs on the stores, I could see the facilities inside through the glass and the broken storefronts.

For example, tables and chairs in restaurants and burnt plastic models in clothing stores.

Tomoki Sakurai carefully observed his surroundings and walked back slowly, thinking about what to say if he found everyone. After all, he had done a terrible job, making a mistake and then running away.

Anyone with a good temper would get angry about something like this. How should I explain it? It would be great if Yukinoshita-senpai just beat me up.

The young man gently touched the wound on his face, and suddenly he let out a hiss, grimacing in pain, and then he froze in place.

He heard strange noises coming from all around him. He turned his head in panic and found that twisted and staggering figures were breaking through the fog and slowly approaching, surrounding him from all sides.

It was the same 'bound monster' that they had just entered.

Tomoki Sakurai's legs began to shake uncontrollably again. He tightly grasped the holy water, and his forehead was covered with beads of sweat.

-------------------------------------

After killing the two cultists in protective suits, Kobayashi Daigo and Amaya Yohito immediately took the AK back from the bodies.

Under the threat of gunpoint, the believers slowly made way for a path. When everyone walked out of the church, the door slammed shut. It seemed that they had decided to cancel today's search mission temporarily.

When the door closed, reminders of side quests came to everyone's mind.

Yukino folded her arms and fell into deep thought. After thinking for a long time, she still didn't understand what the core of this mission meant. The first Silent Hill movie gave too few clues, which only revealed Alessa's life experience and tragic past, and the clues about the church were only mentioned briefly.

"What are we going to do?"

Kobayashi Daigo gave a bitter smile. Although he was almost a generation older than Yukino, he had no experience in this kind of world and could only helplessly seek the advice of this little girl.

"Is the side quest an extra reward? Also, if I'm guessing correctly, killing the people in there should be something that can only be accomplished in the final stage. Now..."

"Don't worry about the side quests for now. It would be best if you can get the extra rewards, but if you can't get them, don't force it. The first consideration is everyone's safety."

Xue Noi pondered for a moment and said helplessly: "At the beginning, our plan was that no matter how dangerous this world is, the church is an absolutely safe fortress, and it can also serve as a buffer in case of accidents, but now..."

"That cowardly bastard..." Furusaka Akita clenched his fists tightly, and his gritted teeth made people feel that he wanted to eat Sakurai Tomoki alive.

"There's no point in complaining anymore. Our top priority now is to find Ross. We only have three hours..."

Yukino took a look at the bracelet and her eyes widened slightly, but she became more and more anxious in her heart. Although she did not show it obviously, the careful undertaker still noticed something unusual.

"What happened?"

Yukino took a deep breath, forced herself to calm down, and said in a deep voice: "There are new changes to the team score counter. Our team's score is no longer negative one point."

"What do you mean?" Kota Furusaka was stunned, not knowing what Yukinoshita meant by this.

"That is to say, the battle outside has already started, and the captain and his men have successfully killed a member of the opposing team." Uncle Tian Gu Yang Ren was in a heavy mood, and his tone seemed a little self-deprecating: "I am already old, but in the end I still have to rely on you young people."

"Captain, did they kill one of them?!" The passionate young man widened his eyes and said in surprise, "That means..."

"Shut up!"

Yukino's dark pupils turned cold, and azure blue mist gradually filled her entire eye sockets. Kota Furusaka's surprised smile was still frozen on his face. He didn't know why this woman suddenly changed her expression. It seemed that he didn't provoke her?

The captain and his team have won the first game and are currently in the lead. Isn’t that something to be excited about?

"A battle is not about the beginning, but the end." Xiaolin Daigo sighed and explained, "Although we prioritize killing one member of the enemy, it is impossible for all of us to be unscathed by the end of the battle."

Yukino was worried all night and finally saw the battle information for the first time. In fact, no matter what result she saw, her worries would deepen.

She now even had the idea of ​​temporarily putting aside the mission and finding a way to leave here and look for Kitahara Sora.

"We have less than three hours to find Ross and then meet here."

Xue No's icy eyes gazed at the people in front of her and continued to make arrangements: "In the plot, Ross went to room 111 of the 'Meris' Hotel, where the cult held a gathering and sacrifice. He should be able to find traces of Alessa."

"She also went to school, where she saw a vision of Alesha as a child, so we have to go there too. There is only one elementary school in this town, so it is easy to find. Then my mission is to go to Brookhaven Hospital. If nothing unexpected happens, Alesha should stop me."

"Divide into three groups? This is not a good idea, it's too dangerous." Uncle Tian Gu Yang Ren shook his head slowly, looking at the little girl who was only a few days older than his granddaughter with a vicissitudes of life and turbid eyes.

"In this world, Alessa will only appear if she is willing to contact us. From what we saw when we entered, I think she is trying to drive us away and warn us. After all, I heard you say that monsters in the 'surface world' are very rare. That vengeful little girl must be warning us, isn't that right?"

"So, what does Mr. Tian Gu want to say?"

"What I want to say is that it's too dangerous for you to go to the hospital." Tian Guyang smiled kindly, "That's where the vengeful spirit's body is. Even though I have one foot in the coffin, I have lived for so long and have seen more stories and read more books than you. I know everything I should know, so leave the task of going to the hospital to me, uncle."

Yukino's eyes softened a little. This old man was worried about her comfort. According to the general setting of horror monsters, no matter how terrifying the existence is, its body must have a weakness.

In the movie, it was only after Rose gained Alesha's trust that Dark Alesha allowed her to go to the underground laboratory of the hospital. If she had gone there by herself, she would have been attacked crazily.

But this is also the most effective way to force Alesha out. As long as she is willing to communicate, there will be a chance. And the most important thing is that Ross must have been hidden by Alesha, including her daughter Sharon.

Alyssa must not know what the purpose of this group of people is, so she maintains the greatest hostility and vigilance. Maybe she is also afraid that these people will hurt Ross and her daughter?

"No need. I'll go. If all else fails, relying on brute force to enter the church is also an option." Yukino's mood eased a little. At least the uncle's words comforted her.

Just when she was about to say something, the usually calm Yukino froze again. Her ice-blue eyes slowly turned into normal black, as if she could no longer conceal the surprise in her eyes.

There was a rustling sound in the earphone, and Kitahara Sora's voice was transmitted to the brain through the eardrum.

"Kitahara-kun!?"

Yukino closed her eyes and called out the name, and even the people around her subconsciously held their breath.

This is normal human behavior. If the person in front of you is making an important call, you will also want to listen hard to the small voice coming from the other end of the phone.

Everyone stared at Yukino, and was confused as her expression changed and she answered briefly.

"Have you entered the Silent Hill area? Why can you talk to me? I see that the team information score has been leveled. How many people are there on the other side? Do you need me to come over and help you?"

After asking a long series of questions in one breath, Xue Noi calmed down and patiently waited for the answer from the other end of the headset. Then her brows sunk deeper and deeper, and she was almost stunned. She couldn't help but ask back: "The Chinese team?!"

When they heard these three words, the new team members around Xueno were stunned at the same time, and then looked at each other, their hearts almost rising at the same time. It seemed that the people of the Eastern Demon King were top-notch in every field.

The most direct manifestation for ordinary civilians is that it seems that they can't win anything against them now. Even the athletes of their own country were pinned to the ground and beaten by them until they cried several times in famous international competitions.

Then the right-wing elements wanted to stir up a dispute, and the Internet exploded, saying that if the warships from the other side really came over, the prime minister would go to fight. Anyway, we young people will not join the army. They are actually so scared of the people over there.

And my people have already killed one of them. New hatred and old hatred are coming together. The other side is not that weak, right? What should I do...

Yukino listened carefully to what was said on the other end of the phone, and hummed from time to time, but the other team members were in a bad mood. Kota Furusaka was even a little anxious to know the details, and couldn't help but take a step towards Yukino, but his girlfriend pulled him back.

Yukino looks quite calm now, but her twitching eyebrows betray her ups and downs in mood. In the end, she must have been shocked by some information, and there was some disbelief on her face. She finally let out a long sigh and ended the call.

"How's the battle going, Captain?"

"We've reconciled." Yukino finally smiled again, and seemed to be in a much better mood.

“Reconcile???”

Everyone asked almost in unison: "How is reconciliation possible?"

Tian Gu Yang Ren asked in confusion: "The people over there hate us, right? Although I like their culture, if it were them in this world, they would not let us go, and we killed one of them?"

"Yes, yes." Shenzu Qianjing, who had been silent since the beginning, interrupted and said, "No matter what, there is no way they can reconcile. They were deducted points for entering this world!"

"Nothing is impossible. They have no shortage of points. They didn't come to this world to hunt us. We misunderstood."

Yukino smiled and said, "Whether it's ordinary people or the country, they all have a 'fear of insufficient firepower' disease, and this disease can be applied to any object."

"What do you mean?"

"They like to hoard." Xiaolin Daigo laughed bitterly. "Just look it up on the Internet. In the early years, those bastard Western countries launched a trade war against their rise in the hope of causing a food crisis. The result was, haha."

"But what's going on with the points thing?"

"That point was given to us by the Night Crow Squad. One of the new members in their team was a drug dealer. They chopped off his hands and feet and left him to die. If they did it themselves, they would have deducted a thousand points, so they gave it directly to us."

"Are they all good people?"

"That's not the most important thing. There's a new guy on this mission who's just like you. You know his name as Kazami Yuji."

"Ah, I know, he is the killer! But... is there any connection with him?" Shenzu Qianjing asked puzzledly.

"His blood relatives are in the Night Raven Squad."

"So that's how it is, no wonder!" Yue Qi Miyuki, who had been silent all this time, suddenly realized something and whispered to her boyfriend, "I knew it, how could the people over there be so kind."

Although she spoke softly, everyone could hear her clearly. As soon as she said this, Yukino's expression suddenly changed, and her almost sharp eyes swept over her, making her subconsciously shrink behind Kota Furusaka.

The main reason for the reconciliation was definitely not because of the Kazami siblings, and it is also easy to guess the reason why they voluntarily gave a point after the reconciliation.

Because Kitahara Sora is actually on their side!

Because of this reason, Yukino has long been curious about that country, and this curiosity drives her to learn more about it.

After a deeper understanding, I found that the country was very similar to Kitahara Sora.

Their fate is full of twists and turns. They have experienced glory and decline. They are stumbling forward in infinite adversity, but they never give up.

Nothing can defeat them, and they have hardly ever failed since rebuilding their country. Only that country can produce someone like Kitahara-kun.

So Yukino fell in love with that country. After returning, she would open her computer almost every day before going to bed to search for relevant information about them, read their history, and understand their culture.

In fact, she just hadn't told Kitahara Sora about it, and they hadn't had a chance to chat recently.

Then, how much patriotism can a girl born in a capitalist family have for her country? In the eyes of the leaders of capitalist countries, perhaps the country is also a part of capital.

So after hearing such ambiguous words, she felt almost uncontrollably angry, because in her eyes, Tsukizaki Miyuki seemed to be saying that Kitahara Sora was not a good person.

But Yukino thought about it and decided not to get angry. She just squinted her eyes at the girl who had a low presence, and then changed the subject.

"This is good news, but there is also bad news. The curse of Silent Hill has spread to the outside world, and I don't know how far it will spread." Yukino glanced at the exit blocked by thick fog.

"Because of the side quest, the captain and his team have a new plan, so not all of us will come, but our plan remains unchanged."

She looked at Tian Gu Yang Ren and softened her tone: "I'll go to the hospital. Uncle Tian Gu, you and Miss Shen Zu go to the hotel and find room 111. If it's the same as in the movie, the secret room is hidden behind a mural."

After that, he turned his attention to Kobayashi Daigo and said, "Mr. Kobayashi, take Kosaka-kun and Ms. Tsukizaki to school."

The distribution was very reasonable. Each team had one person equipped with a weapon. Although it was of little use, it could at least kill the cursed believers. Although their doors were closed now, who knew if they would wait for them to leave and then follow quietly.

The only consequence of being caught is being burned to death, without exception, and when facing monsters, they also have holy water, which is enough.

"Alright, gather at the church entrance in two hours. If you can't, we'll force your way in."

Everyone looked at each other and nodded slowly at the same time. When the fire was about to separate, Yukino suddenly said, "Everyone wait a moment. If you encounter Sakurai Tomoki, please control him."

Xue No's words made everyone confused. They didn't know what she was thinking. Only the flat-headed young man who hated him couldn't help but ask, "Do you still want to protect this scumbag?"

"Catch him, control him, and just let him stay with you, as long as no new accidents happen." The cold-faced girl shook her head slowly and explained, "I will explain our situation to the captain and then hand him over to him."
