In the game of Dead Cells, the protagonist Cellman is reborn from the prison of the prisoner every time, and then explores outside. The map routes are interconnected, with a total of more than 30 maps, and each large map can go to different places. And between the large maps, there will be collectors' rooms for players to rest. This is of course a gameplay setting, but the plot also explains this a little. It has been said before that the collector is an alchemist who cooperates with the king. He has been looking for a way to make an antidote. Therefore, in the early days of the mutation, he traveled all over the island and set up laboratories everywhere to study the causes and countermeasures of the mutation. The lounges between these large maps can also be regarded as the former laboratories of the collector. As for why the map changes every time you rebirth... Maybe this island is really alive? Li You spread his hands. He and Cellman came to the Avenue of the Guilty together. Although the Avenue of the Guilty can be called a happy map for newbies, it is nothing to Li You, and there are Cellman. Unlike the habit of the cell man in front of him, Li You is still used to clearing all the threatening enemies along the way, and then walking over openly.
In addition to the speed demons, the wooden puppets that are blessed with magic and can provide protection for nearby companions are a little troublesome on the Sinner Avenue, but Li You is not vague and directly blows them up with one shot. As for the speed demons, after facing them personally, Li You was somewhat relieved to find that their "teleportation" is not such a powerful ability. According to his observation, the teleportation of the speed demons should be some kind of relatively low-level space magic, which can jump and move within the field of vision. However, the maximum distance that can be moved is no more than ten meters, and it cannot be used continuously, and there is a pre-release. Li You said that the evaluation is not as good as Wesker. So in other words, if you want to parkour through the level, then running faster can also get rid of them. Of course, Li You has no need to run. Another speed demon activated the transfer magic and appeared in front of Li You. But he was still concentrating, and a blue-silver samurai sword had already cut through the gap in the armor at his neck and beheaded him directly. There were no other enemies around, so Li You shook his knife and walked forward. However, the cell man did not move. He seemed to sense something and squatted beside the body of the speed demon. The flame on his head began to jump rapidly. Then, a blue light spot as big as a human head flew out from the body of the speed demon and was sucked into the flame on the head of the cell man. This was not the first time Li You had seen this scene, but he still found it interesting. So this is how the cell man absorbs the cells dropped by monsters... and the "cells" are really that big? After the cell man finished absorbing, they continued to move forward and soon came to a simple platform elevator. Taking the elevator all the way up, they came to the high wall of the prison. This is the top of the prison area, with a good view and a view of the sea. On the way to the top, they also passed a room that looked like a collector's laboratory, but they did not see the "only good man" here. And in the barrier map, a new enemy appeared. They are wizards wearing white robes with a pair of huge red bull horn-shaped ornaments on their backs, named Judges. After accumulating magic power, they release a lavender magic ball from the middle of the two corners to attack. In the game, their magic can penetrate walls, but in this world, Li You found that most of their attacks would still be blocked by the wall. It's just that these guys are slippery and can always find gaps to let the magic pass through the gaps in the platform and wall to launch attacks. Fortunately, the magic is not strong. Li You tried to block it with a shield as in the game, and found that it can indeed be deflected.
Then there is nothing to worry about. Facing the two judges in front of him, one above and one below, Li You popped out the glass umbrella in his left hand to block their magic, and then the moonlight flashed, and swung out an air blade, splitting the chest of the judge above! But even so, the guy just took a step back, and then he raised his hand with a roar, trying to cast magic again. "You are not dead yet?" This time, Li You suppressed the power of the air blade very low, thinking that he would cause fatal injuries to the judge, but he didn't expect that this level could not stop his attack at all. Li You has a new understanding of the powerful vitality of the enemies in this world. So he took out the Prototype Samurai Blade and fired three shots, taking the guy away completely. On the other side, the Cell Man, holding a pair of daggers, had already cut another Judge into pieces. Seeing Li You looking over, he gave a thumbs up. Li You nodded: "Let's go, continue." There is nothing to take from the barrier. In the game, if you obtain and activate three BOSS cells, or also known as Origin Cells, you can open a door here and go to the Nausea Cellar to fight another BOSS. Li You is not sure if he can open that door without the Origin Cell, but it will take a lot of time to search anyway, so it is better to go to the Black Bridge honestly. He and the Cell Man jumped and climbed between the high walls of the barrier, looking for the elevator leading to the Black Bridge. In the process, they also found some other things. ... Li You stood in front of a gallows, his face was not very good. On the gallows not far in front of him, there were three dried and broken corpses hanging. From their appearance, one could barely tell that one of them was a man in his forties, the other was a woman whose age was unknown, and the other was... a "dwarf". They were hung on the gallows, their bodies were broken and rotten, and they were pecked beyond recognition by crows. The cell man was leaning in front of them, carefully looking at the notes on their bodies. After reading, he tore off a piece and handed it to Li You. Li You actually knew what was written on it. That was the crime for which the three were hanged, and the notes on the three were all "suspected infection". In the later stage of the mutation, residents fell down one after another due to infection, corpses crawled out of the graves, and the soldiers also fell into the final madness. A large number of "suspected infection" people who were hanged, death row prisoners who were thrown from the high walls of the ramparts just to enjoy the desperate screams, and sinners who were used for target practice... On the Avenue of Sinners and the ramparts, the remnants of the soldiers' atrocities can be seen everywhere. These things looked like backgrounds in the original 2D game, but in today's world, they are so real. The indescribable misery of the broken corpses made Li You feel nauseous for the first time in a long time. But he knew that this was only a small part of it. He subconsciously looked at the culprit of everything, and his fists hardened unconsciously. The cell man was still searching on the corpse and the gallows, but he didn't find anything valuable, so he shook his head and turned around.
Then he saw Li You staring at him, and he was stunned. He waved his hand vigorously at Li You, and Li You put away his dangerous eyes. After exhaling a breath of turbid air, he said: "It's okay... Let's go and continue to find a way out." The cell man looked at him and seemed to have something to say, but he couldn't speak, so he could only nod and continue to move forward. Finally, they found the elevator leading to the bottom under a high wall. And this time, in the laboratory at the bottom, the two saw the collector again. The cell man walked to the collector without any surprise, even as a matter of course, raised his hand, handed the cells he collected to the collector, and exchanged some things from him. Li You stared at the collector non-stop, and finally asked: "How did you get ahead of us?" The collector laughed: "I have my secret way... You don't need to ask more about this. So, do you have cells for me?" Li You had communicated with him before, and learned from him that he could transform cells into an increase in physical fitness, and could also collect cells to provide weapons and equipment, as well as mutation abilities (. passive skills). Li You briefly summarized that the collector in this world is basically equivalent to the fireproof girl. Enhancement scrolls and weapons and equipment can be found in the map, but the number is very, very small. Correspondingly, the cell man can consume cells here to improve attributes, and it is said that the price is fair and affordable. At the same time, the collector also works part-time as an equipment dealer and a mutation ability adjuster. Anyway, all the cells collected by the cell man will not be spent here. However, Li You thought that every time the Cell Man died, all the previous upgrades would be cleared, and he had to say: It's so dark, it's really dark. In this way, all the Cell Man's gains have to be supplied to the Collector. The more times he reborn, the more the Collector earns. It has the flavor of a capitalist. Fortunately, it's not him who is facing this kind of hell now, but the scum protagonist, and Li You feels very happy. Especially when he saw the Cell Man scratching his ears and cheeks at the list of goods listed by the Collector... Oh no, it was scratching the will-o'-the-wisp, he couldn't help but want to laugh out loud. As for doing the same thing himself, there's no need. The Collector clearly told him that because he and the Cell Man have different physiques, the alchemy of ability enhancement only lasts for ten minutes for him, unlike the Cell Man, which can last as long as this body does not die. As for the mutant ability, Li You can't use it at all. The Collector didn't say the specific reason, but Li You could guess that it was mostly because the body of the protagonist Cell Man was actually a man-made person prepared in advance by the Collector. Alchemy has obvious effects on homologous androids, so it is a limited-time BUFF for him, which makes sense. Although weapons can be used, the collector does not have any particularly outstanding equipment. So Li You has no intention of being a sucker for the time being. The cell man has completed the ability upgrade and bought a shield from the collector. Then he turned around and gestured to Li You, who nodded and walked towards the exit of the laboratory.
Going down the stairs from the exit at the other end of the laboratory, you will arrive at the Black Bridge. This is a wide stone bridge, much larger than in the game. Because the terrain is low and the sun cannot reach it, the surrounding area of the bridge is dim and unclear, which is in line with the name "Black Bridge". Fortunately, on both sides of the bridge, there is an oil lamp at a distance, and the lamps are burning with a faint flame, barely illuminating the bridge surface. Li You had already seen that at the other end of the bridge, a tall guard with bulging arms, wearing deformed armor and a pointed helmet, was standing in the dim light of an oil lamp. That was the bridge guard, the watcher. The Warden, formerly known as Castan, is the warden of the prison. After the mutation broke out, the king ordered that all infected people be imprisoned and isolated from the outside world, and no civilians in the village were allowed to visit. Unfortunately, the warden was modest and kind-hearted, and could not bear to see the villagers separated from their relatives by the bars, so after collecting some small condolences, he let the visiting villagers in. Little did he know that his behavior further led to the spread of infection. In the end, Castan himself was infected and mutated, turning into a monster guardian. Perhaps out of guilt or obsession, he came to the Black Bridge and served as a guard forever. Li You looked at the watcher opposite and pondered for a moment. With his eyesight, he could clearly see the appearance of the watcher. He is nearly three meters tall, and his arms are so thick that they can almost catch up with the tanks in Left 4 Survival. You can tell at a glance that he is very powerful. Li You took out the anti-material sniper rifle from his backpack and said to the cell man: "I'll give him a shot first, and I'll find an opportunity to attack." Cell Man nodded and pulled out the double daggers from his waist. Li You aimed at the watcher's head from a distance and pulled the trigger! As the fire flashed, the bullet was directly embedded in the watcher's head! However, the watcher did not fall down. His body swayed, then he stood firm, and then let out a roar! "roar--!!!" He pressed his body down slightly, then suddenly jumped up and rushed towards Li You and Cell Man! When Li You saw that he was still alive and kicking after being shot, he had already put away his sniper rifle and took out Yueying again. He and the Cellman rolled outwards to the left and right, avoiding the heavy attacks of the watchers. Cell Man quickly stood up and threw a dark round grenade. The grenade exploded on the guard, but it didn't cause much damage. Instead, it angered him and let out another roar! This time, along with his roar, wisps of blood mist rose up all over his body, shrouding his body, churning continuously, and it was obviously highly corrosive. Seeing that the situation was not good, the cell man immediately retreated to avoid it, while the watcher pursued him with heavy steps. But on the other side, Li You had already charged up his strength. He suddenly pulled out Yueying and slashed diagonally. As the light of the sword lit up, a sword energy quickly flew towards the watcher! And immediately after, there was a vacuum wave coming out from the ground and sweeping away! The guard sensed the threat and turned around to look, but he was too late and was struck firmly on his left arm by Dragon Flash's sword energy. His armor was cut open by the sword energy, and blood immediately spattered everywhere. Before he could roar, the vacuum wave flew in immediately, hit him, and dispersed the blood mist around him. But this time, the watcher crossed his thick arms, blocking the subsequent attack at the cost of the armor of both arms being dented. He was about to turn around and attack Li You when a figure suddenly flashed behind him. The Cell Man jumped on his back and stabbed his daggers fiercely along the gap in his neck! The guard screamed in pain again, and the blood mist around him rose again. He swung his hand back and knocked the Cellman away, falling into the water under the bridge.
Li You's eyes flashed, intending to save people, but the watcher immediately raised his arms and slammed them on the ground, and a flame swept down the ground and rushed towards Li You. Li You flicked and pulled the grappling hook, hooked onto the edge railing of the bridge, and took himself over, avoiding the incoming flames. At the same time, he quickly issued a call in his heart. Seeing Li You dodge the attack, the watcher hit the ground with his hammer to vent his anger, and wanted to pursue him, but unexpectedly, two sharp lights came from behind! The guard turned around, only to see the cell man who was supposed to be thrown down by him was stabbing him with two daggers. Behind him, there was a man in black who was not much shorter than him, holding a huge naginata in his hand and wearing an oni mask on his face, staring at him eagerly. Even the caretaker who had lost his mind couldn't help but be shocked when he saw this scene: "roar--!?" The cell man's double daggers scratched the exposed area of his waist and abdomen, leaving two slender wounds. The guard didn't care about this. Facing the man in black who raised his naginata and slashed at him, he used all his strength to resist with both arms! "Qiang——!" With a harsh sound, Yuzu's naginata completely cut open the armor of both arms of the guardian, almost cutting off his left hand that was stacked on top! The watcher roared in pain, but Yuzu kicked him in the stomach without mercy, sending him flying backwards. As the guard retreated, he stared at Yuzu and Cellman warily, but ignored what was behind him. It wasn't until a thunder suddenly came from behind that the caretaker, who was in a state of confusion, realized that he had forgotten something! He turned his head instinctively, but only saw Li You leaping in mid-air, holding the katana high in his hand, and a golden thunder and lightning wrapped around the blade. As the katana fell, arcs of electricity were brought up in the air, turning into a lightning blade. Cut it off at him! The guard wanted to resist, but he only raised his hand halfway before Li You's Ba Zhilei fell on him. "Crack-!" Golden electric arcs wrapped around his body, burning his body and trying to invade his body from everywhere. Even if the guard's body mutated to become extremely strong, he could not withstand such damage and fell to his knees heavily. Li You landed lightly and came to him. He put away the Thunder Moon Shadow, drew out the Black Immortal Slash, and opened the door. In the game, even if the boss has been defeated, the protagonist has to fight it again after rebirth. In this regard, it is not clear whether it is because of the gameplay or the setting that these bosses were not completely killed, so they can be resurrected. Li You is more inclined to believe that this is just gameplay. Just like fighting the lion ape in Sekiro, if you die in the second stage, you will find that the lion ape's head is still growing on your neck after resurrection; and in the old man ring, when you are killed while wrestling with the muscular grandfather Ge Fulei, he will come back and tear the beast king Serloshu again. However, just in case, he decided to use the immortal slash to send the guard away to prevent resurrection. Li You held the door open and slashed at the guard's neck! With a "swish", the door opener cut off the head of the guard cleanly, and his huge body fell down. Li You put away the door opener and looked at Yuzu and the cell man. Yuzu let out a "wooo" as a greeting, and the cell man... the cell man was busy absorbing cells from the guard's body and picking up the broken gold pieces that fell from his body, and he didn't even look at Li You. Li You: "..."
Sure enough, we should chop this guy off, right? Fortunately, the cell man quickly stood up, holding the large pieces of broken gold and silver he had looted, came to Li You, and handed him half. Then, he pointed to his ghost-like head. Judging from what he meant, he should give him half of the cells. Li You's face looked better, but not much better. Why should I split it in half with you? I obviously did much more work just now, didn't I? Li You simply ignored this scum protagonist, otherwise he was afraid that he really couldn't help but chop this guy off by opening the door. He turned and clapped his hands, so the iron gate at this end of the bridge was pushed open again, and Edge walked out from inside. The cell man looked at Edge, then at Yuzu. Although he couldn't speak, it was obvious that he was very curious. Li You pointed at Edge, then at him, and said, "This is my companion. She has the ability to communicate with people mentally. I asked her to try and see if she could use this to talk to you." The cell man was also slightly startled, but he looked at the formation of Li You, Yuzu and Edge that surrounded him vaguely, and he also knew that he probably couldn't refuse, otherwise he might be sent back to the birth point, so he nodded. Edge then closed his eyes slightly and exerted the ability of mental connection. In the world of Sekiro, because there was really not much to do, she could only practice this special ability when she was free. Before the world shuttle, she could already stably control objects such as insects and docile animals, but she had never tried to communicate with people mentally. Li You just thought that Edge was worried about hurting others, so wouldn't the cell man be a perfect practice object? But in the end, can the cell man be considered a human? Li You didn't know, he only knew that Aggie had been trying to contact the Cell Man face to face for a long time, but to no avail, and instead exhausted herself mentally. However, just when Li You was about to let her give up for the time being, she showed joy on her face and said to Li You: "I have successfully established a spiritual connection with him!" Li You's eyes lit up: "Very good, then can you understand what he is saying?" Aggie paused, then said: "Well... I understand. He is saying..." "'Telepathy? Is there really such an ability? But then again, do I really have such a thing as a mind in my current state? I don't even have a head, and I don't even know where I came from. After all, why am I still alive and thinking? Am I a ball of green algae, or a lonely ghost possessed by green algae...'" "Stop, stop, stop--!" Li You stopped Aggie's simultaneous interpretation and pressed his forehead. I almost forgot that the Cell Man sometimes triggers an inexplicable chatterbox attribute, chattering endlessly in his mind. "You don't have to tell me all his words, do you?" Li You looked at Edge. Edge said: "... Well, but I just relayed the beginning, there is still a long paragraph behind." Li You: "..." Sure enough, I'd better kill this guy. In short, with Edge acting as a translator, Li You had a brief communication with the cell man, and then found that he really had no memory of his past.
The memory in his mind began to appear in the pipe on the top of the prison. After a little thought, Li You did not tell him the truth. This may be a rare world where he knows the inside story but actively chooses to be a riddle man. After all, he still has his own plans. So, Li You simply ended the conversation with the cell man, and then no longer delayed, crossed the bridge, and went to the next location. The black bridge is a demarcation point and transportation hub. After leaving here, it is considered to be out of the prison area. And from here, you can also go to three different areas. Misty Harbor, Sleeping Sanctuary, and Collapse Temple And these three places can all lead to the main process area, the bell tower. Looking at the sign at the fork in the road after coming down the bridge, Li You's eyes flashed, and he said to the cell man: "I have helped you solve the guard, so next, let's act separately, I'm going to do my own thing." At the same time, he also kindly reminded the cell man that Wuying Harbor is the relatively safest area. The cell man nodded to him, saying that he planned to go back and find a collector to upgrade before moving on. His statement made Li You stunned. After all, in the game, you can only move forward, not backward. But now it is a complete world after all, and this operation seems to be reasonable? So he nodded and said, "Then I wish you good luck." The cell man waved and turned away. Li You called Yuzu and Edge, and found an elevator at the end of a fork in the road. The three of them got on and began to rise quickly. His destination was the Temple of Collapse.
