The next morning. Li You sat at the sentry post on the roof of the ruins of the villa, with his sniper rifle leaning against him and his eyes slightly closed, looking like he was taking a nap. But in fact, he was meditating and looking inward at the state of the Sakura Dragon Divine Crystal. After all, Sakura Dragon's resentment secretly absorbed a lot of resentment in the world of Dead Cells, becoming stronger and stronger, and has begun to affect him in turn. And as luck would have it, this is the game of This War of Mine, and the environment is not much better. In order to prevent Sakura Dragon's resentment from continuing to grow here and finally backlash, he must find a way to suppress the resentment. Li You had tried it before, that is, through a simplified method, asking others to pray for him to dispel the resentment. This should have been the orthodox method passed down by the Palace of Origin, but I don't know if the process was simplified too much, and it didn't work in the end. He was still worried at first, but after watching for two days, he suddenly found that the blood-colored dragon of resentment had not expanded outward since some time, and even part of its body that protruded from the Divine Crystal had been erased a little. Although it was only a tiny bit, Li You was still surprised, and naturally wanted to find out the reason. But it must be said that he has no clue yet.
He found that Yinglong's resentment was curbed a little later, two or three days after he started the office. He did a lot of things in these three days. How can he tell which one was effective or not? So for now, the best way is to continue to accept commissions while observing the results, which happened to be what he wanted to do. And the progress is not bad now. Last night, Li You escorted Esma back to the city safely and completed the commission. She told Li You frankly that the reason she came to him was actually because Adam mentioned Li You to her. In other words, she commissioned Li You this time, firstly to investigate the news about the military supply truck, and secondly to confirm Li You's situation for herself. In the end, Esma said that Li You was indeed as rumored, with outstanding ability and professional ethics, and she thought he was a trustworthy person. Therefore, in the second day's "Voice of Berglund", Malik reported three news. First, there was a broken-down military supply truck carrying a large amount of rare supplies, parked at an abandoned gas station, and guarded by soldiers. Second, a large amount of fuel was stored in the basement of the abandoned gas station (this news was provided by Li You). Third, the newly opened Wanshiwu in the city is trustworthy, and survivors in need can issue commissions there. Each of these three news is very valuable information, and it provides new options for many refugees in distress. Therefore, it is natural that Li You's business has become prosperous all of a sudden. In just half a morning after the broadcast, the commissions transferred from the priest have reached five, which is already the amount of the previous day. Of course, a large part of the reason is that the government army launched another large-scale artillery attack last night, and many refugees in the shelter were affected and urgently needed assistance. For this reason, Li You had to choose the most urgent commissions to complete first, and put the less urgent ones behind. Considering the number and urgency of the commissions, he could not wait until the evening to complete them slowly. After the internal vision was over, Li You jumped up from his chair and began to implement them one by one in the order of the commissions. ... The first commission he arranged was located in Berglen City Hospital.
As mentioned before, the bombing of the hospital always occurred a few days after the player's first arrival. Although Li You had never been to the city hospital, the bombing last night still fell mercilessly around the hospital. Even if it did not hit directly, the already devastated hospital building was still shaken down by several building structures. However, a large number of wounded people also flocked to the hospital at the same time, which made the doctors and nurses busy and overwhelmed. So Li You accepted the commission and came to help. He helped the people in the hospital clean up the ruins, sort out the medicines, and even helped settle and treat the wounded. The "homemade potion" he brought out had an amazing effect, which surprised the doctors and nurses. And this was the result after Li You diluted the potion in the medicine gourd. In the end, with his help, the hospital successfully handled the internal chaos and allowed most of the wounded to receive treatment. The reward they gave was some medicines suitable for curing common epidemics in Berglen City, which Li You accepted without hesitation. Of course, Li You did not forget to ask them to bless him and explained that this was the requirement of the sect he believed in. So far, the commission has increased by 1, but the internal vision shows that the resentment of the Sakura Dragon has not changed. ... The second commission. In a small house on the edge of the city, Li You helped the residents here to rescue the refugees buried under the ruins, and treated his injuries because he was too seriously injured to go to the hospital, saving his life. The commission increased by another 1, and the resentment of the Sakura Dragon remained unchanged. ... The third commission, this time it was not related to the shelling last night, the destination of the mission was the old Berglen Hotel. Although this hotel is old and relatively small, its former luxury can still be seen from the interior decoration. This used to belong to Berglun Travel Agency, but it changed hands several times and is now occupied by a group of bandits. It is said that at night, screams can be heard from time to time, which is extremely creepy. However, Li You knew very well that the screams were made by the captive hostages captured by the bandits when they were tortured, and the commission he received was also to rescue the hostages. Although there was no requirement to "solve the bandits", Li You automatically added it. At this moment, four bandits in the hotel building were doing their own things. Three of them were busy trying to find ways to have fun, and the last one was on the way to deliver food to the hostages. However, he had just walked to the door of the bathroom on the fifth floor where the hostages were held, accompanied by a "click" sound of broken glass, and a bullet from nowhere shot in from the window, leaving a big hole in the robber's chest. The robber was stunned and fell to the sky. "What's going on--!?" "There's a noise up there! Go check it out!" But then there were three more sounds of glass or wood breaking, and the flying bullets knocked down the remaining three people one by one.
When the last gangster fell, he realized that they were being sniped. But what he didn't understand was why there was no sound at all? On the top floor of a ruined building half a street away, Li You picked up a sniper rifle equipped with a magic silencer and walked towards the hotel. This magic silencer cannot be used casually in front of people, otherwise anyone with a little common sense will realize that this thing is extraordinary. But it is very convenient to use it for long-range sniping and clearing a few minions, and it is difficult to be discovered. Li You quickly entered the hotel, and when he passed by the living room, he naturally took the canned food in the refrigerator, then went to the fifth floor and pried open the door lock with the original gun. When the door was opened, the locked man looked up, his face was still very incredible: "What...?" Hearing Li You say that he was free, the man still didn't believe it, or didn't dare to run. It was not until Li You dragged the bodies of the bandits and placed them in front of him that he finally realized that he was really safe. So, he followed Li You and left the area, crying bitterly. The commission was +1 again and again, but the inner vision showed that the resentment had not changed. ... Towards dusk, Li You took a short rest in a roadside hut, one of Franco's temporary bases. During this day, he completed several commissions, and after the regular fee, he asked for "blessing" as a reward. However, although the people he rescued blessed him with a very sincere attitude, Li You still did not find any changes in the dragon of resentment when he looked inside. This inevitably made Li You feel very strange. What went wrong? He was still thinking, and there was a familiar knock on the door outside, and Franco walked in. "——Li You, there is an urgent commission!" "Damn it, you actually found me here, I am not your messenger!" Li You immediately put down his thoughts and picked up the gun: "I'm ready." ——Soon, in a two-story shelter near the quiet hut. Li You rushed here through the alleys and rushed to the second floor without saying hello. Here, a man and a woman, two refugees, were trying to put out the flames rising from the door of the room. In the bedroom surrounded by flames and collapsed ceilings, the cry of a little boy could be vaguely heard. "Dad, Mom——! Wow wow wow!!!" Without saying a word, Li You picked up a shovel and dug wildly. He quickly helped the two refugees in the shelter to put out the fire caused by the sudden bombardment and rescued the little boy in the bedroom. Then, because his skin was burned a lot, Li You used a diluted version of the gourd potion to relieve his injuries, and finally bandaged the boy's wounds with a bandage taken from the toilet of this family. The situation is stable. The boy's parents thanked Li You profusely and asked him what he needed to be paid. Li You saw that their family was obviously not rich, so he symbolically asked for a can of food and their usual blessings. As expected, the couple's blessings had no effect. But surprisingly, the little boy, Ivano, who also appeared in the game, prayed for Li You without even knowing his name, but lit up a few inconspicuous small spots in his consciousness space. Those spots fell on the Sakura Dragon Divine Crystal and corroded a small piece of the blood shadow of the Sakura Dragon's resentment. Li You, who was still meditating, was instantly refreshed!
He got out of the meditation state as soon as possible, and then saw the boy Ivano, who was still lying on the bed, just loosened his hand to pray for him. Li You immediately felt that he had caught something. Could it be that only the sincere prayers of the children could produce the power to weaken the resentment? He thought of Karina and Emilia again. It seemed that the damage to the Sakura Dragon Resentment was mostly due to them? Li You was a little happy. After trying for so long, he finally found some direction. Although he was not sure, Li You felt that the stars were close. For this reason, after leaving this family, he specially found a hidden ruin, took out the wooden mailbox of the Sky Province, quickly wrote two letters, and threw them in. The messenger demon god soon appeared, took the letters, and quickly disappeared in the ruins of the city. As for Li You's letters, one is addressed to the miko and the other is addressed to Eima. The content is the same. While asking about the situation in Sekiro's world, he also mentioned the difficulties he encountered while trying to resolve his resentment. Originally, it should be enough to write a letter to the miko, but considering that the eldest sister might not be awake yet, Li You also wrote a letter to Eima, hoping to get some information from her, and asked her to cooperate with the Source Saint. The results of the sacrifices and the ancient books from the Palace of Origin can help him analyze the situation and so on. After sending the letter, Li You seized the time and started working on the next commission, transforming into a task maniac, or a toilet-cleaning expert. … Late at night, according to the request of another commission, Li You broke into the lair of another group of gangsters, intending to catch them all and retrieve the humanitarian relief supplies they had stolen, especially a special medicine inside. Of course, the client's original words were: "The gangsters are numerous and armed, and are very dangerous. I also know that this commission is very excessive, but this drug is very important to my father, and only it can save his life." My father’s life.” "So, I'd like you to help me give it a try. I just need to sneak in and steal some medicine. The appearance of that medicine is round tablets in a small blue plastic bottle." That's right, this commission was issued by the filial son of the auto repair station, Ma Tai. When Li You introduced and promoted himself before, he had given him gourd potion to combat negative states. However, according to Li You's observations during this period, this potion cannot cure diseases, but can only alleviate some related complications. So Mattai is still trying to find the medicine his father needs. And coincidentally, it was said that this kind of medicine was among the military supply trucks that Esma found earlier. Unfortunately, there are pros and cons to broadcasting the news about the supply truck. Malik couldn't let only good people hear his broadcast, so there were many bandits and gangsters who took away some important supplies before others. For example, this drug is then traded with other refugees at a high price. Therefore, after searching to no avail, Ma Tai had to choose to entrust Li You, whom he had met once before, to help steal some medicine from the gangsters' lair. Of course, after Li You came here, he set up his gun without hesitation and played the infiltration mission from a distance into a game of ghosts and people - except that the tool was a sniper rifle. The muzzle of the anti-materiel sniper rifle continued to spray flames, and apart from the vague whistling of bullets streaking through the air, there was no other sound. The gangsters fell one after another. Because they were in the dark, they were killed before they even realized that their companions had been shot. The gangsters were quickly eliminated. Li You's gun moved slightly, and the scope put another vague figure into the crosshairs. Although the man cleverly hid in the corner of the room, it was a pity that he still couldn't escape Li You's detection. However, just before he pulled the trigger, the guy suddenly started moving again, moving cautiously in the building. When Li You saw the other person's whole body, he immediately realized that that guy didn't seem to be a gangster? Not only that, he seemed to be an acquaintance...
Li You thought for a while, put away his gun, and began to rush towards the gangster's lair. … In the small building of the gangster's lair, Erica held a small blue medicine bottle tightly, so hard that her palms became sweaty. She was almost squatting on the ground and moving, not daring to make a sound, while always hiding her body in the blind corner of the room. Of course she is not a member of the gang. It is better to say that her purpose is the same as what Li You should have done, which is to steal medicine. Erica is a female snitch who has the same characteristics as Esma. Her stealthy actions and T2 level combat power second only to Roman Adam have made her a very popular combat character. In this world, Erica also has a brilliant record. She has sneaked into the houses of many gangsters and robbers and stolen supplies from them to support her own life, and she has never failed. However, at this moment, she was frightened and sweating profusely even in late autumn. There is no other reason. The sniper who is cleaning up the gangsters here one by one is really terrifying. He seemed to have a pair of eagle eyes. No matter where the gangsters were hiding, they could not escape his detection, and they were easily penetrated by the sniper rifle that was extremely powerful but eerily silent. It was a literal penetration. The sniper rifle was incredibly powerful and could easily create a large hole in a concrete wall. And if it hits a person on the waist, it can tear all the flesh and blood around the waist and split the person into two. Even during the days when Erica was active as a female snitch, she had personally killed more than one gangster, but when she saw this scene, she almost couldn't help but vomit. Erica herself came here to steal medicine in order to go back and treat her former alcoholic father. But now, she was already thinking about whether she could leave alive. "...I'm sorry, Dad, I might capsize in the gutter this time." She held the medicine bottle and whispered to herself. But the next moment, with a soft "squeak" sound, the door not far from Erica was pushed open, and a man with very young features and a coat walked in. And Erica immediately saw the big gun behind him. In just an instant, she had already moved, with a knife in her hand, and she quickly stabbed Li You! Li You was not in a hurry. He took a leisurely walk and stepped back slightly, avoiding her knife tip. Then he reached out and grabbed her wrist. Erica had good eyesight and saw Li You's movements clearly, because he didn't deliberately pursue lightning-fast moves. But even though she saw it, she didn't have time to avoid it. Li You easily grabbed her wrist and took away the knife. Li You threw the knife away, then twisted Erica's wrist in the opposite direction, pulling her around and almost kneeling on the ground. "It hurts--!" Li You finally said: "Female thief, Erica, is it? I've heard of you. You seem to be very capable." "Then let's make a long story short. Are you interested in working for me?" Erica: "......?" Although she was easily restrained by the other party with one hand, Erica still couldn't help but said angrily: "... Is there anyone who recruits people like you!?"
