Infinite: Starting from Resident Evil

Renault didn't speak, but simply pointed inside the church before saying, "You'll see when you take a look."

The blonde girl and Luther and the others looked into the church, and then they saw a scene that horrified them.

"How...how is this possible?" The blonde girl rubbed her eyes hard, thinking she was still half asleep and seeing things.

"Who did I just see? It's Sephiroth!" After confirming her vision was real, the blonde girl exclaimed in disbelief. She had actually seen her idol, Shinra's strongest special forces soldier, Sephiroth…

……

The raging flames lasted only a brief moment. When the firelight disappeared, Sephiroth was found kneeling on the ground in a somewhat disheveled state.

His body was covered in burns from the flames, and his once flowing silver-white hair had turned blackish-gray.

"Another move I've never seen before," Sephiroth muttered, clutching his chest.

However, although he was injured, not a single drop of blood flowed from his body, and even the wounds were different from those of a normal person who was burned.

Then, he slowly stood up, using his long sword to support his body.

“You’re quite good. At least for now, you seem much stronger than Cloud. I misjudged you before.” Sephiroth wiped non-existent blood from the corner of his mouth and said, “It’s a pity that my current body is just an ordinary shell and I can’t unleash my full power. Otherwise, with your current strength, you wouldn’t be able to hurt me at all.”

"Can I understand that you're making excuses?" Although Shen Ye was shocked by Sephiroth's words, he was not convinced and said directly.

“If that’s how you want to understand it, then fine.” Sephiroth nodded, then turned his head to look towards the church door, a slight smile playing on his lips. “It seems tonight will have to end here. What a pity. I wanted to see more of your moves that I’ve never seen before!”

Shen Ye also turned his head to look in the direction of the church door. The wandering samurai's special ability, Five Qi Gathering, temporarily gave him superhuman senses. He could sense that there were quite a few people peeking at them.

"Isn't it good to have an audience? It'll be perfect for them to see how I defeat Shinra Idol," Shen Ye said, twirling his lightsaber.

Although Sephiroth says he is currently only controlling a body, that is already enough to shock others.

Chapter 180! A Person Wandering Outside of Fate

……

"Defeat me?" Sephiroth was taken aback, then burst into laughter: "You? You're far from it!"

“To defeat me, they’d all have to come at me together,” Sephiroth continued. “However, that’s only a possibility, because I won’t repeat their mistakes, even though I can’t escape the shackles of fate.”

At this point, Sephiroth raised his longsword and pointed it at Shen Ye again.

"Your name is Shen Ye, right? I'll remember you. You're someone who walks outside of fate. Next time we meet, I hope you can show me some new moves."

"Don't worry, it will definitely happen." Shen Ye also raised his sword and pointed it at Sephiroth.

"Then I'm relieved!" Sephiroth nodded, then turned and slashed his sword through the air, instantly creating a spatial rift in front of him.

"Goodbye, Alice!" Sephiroth glanced at Alice and stepped into the spatial rift.

After the crack closed, Shen Ye finally couldn't hold on any longer and collapsed to the ground.

The Annihilation Palm is indeed powerful, but it also consumes a huge amount of internal energy. Moreover, his internal energy is consumed by his mental power, and the almost depleted mental power has left his mental state in a very bad state.

Upon seeing Shen Ye's appearance, Alice exclaimed in surprise and ran over, clutching the metal staff.

"Shen, let me heal you first." Alice ran to Shen Ye, gripped the long staff tightly with both hands, and quickly finished chanting the healing spell. Then she pointed the staff at Shen Ye, and a green light enveloped his entire body.

In an instant, Shen Ye felt as if he were soaking in a perfectly heated hot spring, and all the fatigue in his body and mind vanished without a trace.

"This is incredible!" Shen Ye exclaimed, looking at the white magic stone on Alice's headband. This girl, who usually looks so gentle and weak, is anything but simple!

"Are you feeling better?" Alice asked nervously when she saw Shen Ye just staring blankly at her. If he shook his head, she was prepared to use another healing spell.

"Much better, Alice." Shen Ye stood up and said. Alice's magic not only restored his physical and mental fatigue, but also restored a lot of his depleted mental energy, and it continued to recover at several times the usual speed.

"That's the importance of a wet nurse!" Shen Ye exclaimed.

Seeing Shen Ye stand up, Alice breathed a sigh of relief, then threw away the metal rod in her hand and rushed over to hug Shen Ye tightly.

“You could have left. Sephiroth’s target… wasn’t actually you.” Alice wrapped her arms around Shen Ye’s waist, buried her head in his chest, and inhaled the slightly pungent masculine scent that had become from the intense battle.

"If I leave, what will you do? Don't you want to escape the fate you all talk about?" Shen Ye sheathed his lightsaber and stroked Alice's soft golden hair with his large hand.

“Of course I want to, and it’s not just me who wants to, that person definitely wants to too,” Alice said.

"That settles it then." Shen Ye stopped what he was doing, then cupped Alice's face in his hands and said, "I came here to save you."

As soon as she said that, Alice's eyes instantly reddened. Holding back the tears that welled up with emotion, she stood on tiptoe and kissed Shen Ye's lips fiercely.

……

Seeing the two embracing and kissing passionately in the center of the church, the Turks people watching outside all let out an "Oh!", especially the blonde girl, whose eyes widened and, without realizing it, even felt a little longing.

"How envious!" The blonde girl clicked her tongue, then turned to look to the side, only to find that their leader, the master of Turks, had appeared there at some point.

"Director... are you alright?" The blonde girl wasn't surprised to see her boss come over, because she knew very well that her boss cared about Alice more than anyone else, so when she saw a hint of sadness in Zeng's eyes, she asked.

He looked away and glanced at her, saying, "I've always been fine."

"Really? But the look in your eyes just now didn't seem like... um!" Before the blonde girl could finish speaking, Renault covered her mouth.

"I'm sorry, Director, Irina didn't think before she spoke." Renault apologized to Zeng, pressing the blonde girl's head down.

"It's alright." Zeng shook his head, then took a deep look at the two people still kissing passionately in the center of the church, before turning and leaving.

As he was about to disappear into the night, a calm voice reached everyone's ears: "Don't mention tonight's events to anyone, including the president."

"Yes!" The Turks had no choice but to obey their leader's orders.

……

The battle between Shen Ye and Sephiroth didn't last very long, only about an hour in total. When Shen Ye and Alice returned home, it was only a little past 2 a.m.

However, as soon as the two opened the door, they saw Emina sitting anxiously on the sofa in the living room. Upon seeing them return, she immediately got up to greet them.

"Where did you go? Did something happen?" Emina stepped forward and hugged Alice, then asked.

She was awakened by the noise Shen Ye and Sephiroth made while fighting. After coming out of the bedroom, she found that the door to the house was open and Alice and Shen Ye were not in the bedroom. She hurriedly wanted to go out to look for them.

But as soon as she stepped out, she was persuaded to go back by the TAX members who were ordered to stay behind, and she could only stay at home anxiously.

Now that the two of them have returned, her anxiety has finally subsided.

"There was a small mishap, Ms. Emina, but we've taken care of it." Shen Ye didn't explain in detail, as he knew that saying it would only cause Emina more trouble.

But Emina didn't believe it at all, staring intently at Alice, as if waiting for her explanation.

“Yes, Mom, it’s all over now.” Alice placed her hands on Amina’s shoulders. “Shen is very strong. No matter what happens, he can handle it.”

Emina trusted her daughter more than anything, and seeing that she had said so, she could only nod.

"Alright, Mom, go to sleep. It's still a long time until dawn," Alice urged again.

But Emina suddenly grabbed her hand and said, "You're sleeping with me tonight, otherwise I won't be able to sleep."

“But…” Alice glanced at Shen Ye, hesitating.

"Is your boyfriend more important to you than your mother?" Emina said, feigning anger.

"Of course not." Alice shook her head vigorously, then said to Shen Ye, "Shen, I'm really sorry, you'll be spending the night alone!"

"It's alright." Shen Ye smiled and shook his head.

Chapter 181! New Job

……

The next morning, the church in the Fifth Street area was already packed with people from the neighborhood, all of whom had come to see what was going on.

Of course, some of them had originally planned to come and check when they heard the noise in the early morning, but like Emina, they were persuaded to go back by the Turks.

But now it's different. After the Turks finished their inspection, they all left, and the area around the unguarded church was suddenly packed with people.

"The battle last night was fierce!" someone in the crowd exclaimed, surprised by the extent of the damage.

"Yeah, a lot of the surrounding buildings collapsed. Luckily, this place has been abandoned and no one lives here, otherwise who knows how many people would have died!" someone echoed.

"But who exactly was fighting here last night? Does anyone know?" someone else asked.

"They seem to be from Shinratacus. I wanted to come and check it out last night, but they stopped me, saying they were clearing out monsters that had invaded the city and it was dangerous," someone replied.

"Would they be so kind?" someone questioned. "Monster invasions of cities are nothing new. Monsters hurt people in the slums every day, and we've never seen Shinra people clear them out. They must be hiding something."

His questioning elicited nods of agreement from a group of people. Although they relied on Shinra's almost free energy to survive and complained about the resistance's attacks on Shinra affecting their lives, it didn't mean they liked Shinra. Most people were well aware that the current situation was entirely Shinra's doing, but due to poverty and resource scarcity, they had no choice but to support Shinra and work for them to earn income, thus finding themselves in a very contradictory situation.

Moreover, when monsters appear in slums, people usually either organize their own people to clear them out or hire mercenaries to help. They have rarely seen Shinra people take action, which naturally leads to various suspicions.

"Forget it, even if they're hiding something, it's none of our business. We need to get back to work, or we won't know what to eat tonight." After a group of people discussed it for a while, someone said something very realistic. Instantly, the crowd dwindled by more than half, and soon only two people remained.

"Compared to any so-called stance, filling our stomachs is more important!" Alice sighed as she walked into the church, linking arms with Shen Ye.

Shen Ye nodded: "Of course. Most people don't think about what will happen tomorrow, so they don't care what the world will become in the future. What they think about most is whether they can find a job today. After all, in this world, unemployment is the same as going hungry."

"In that case, it looks like I'm going to go hungry." Alice pointed to the messy flowerbed in front of her and said, "I think I've lost my job!"

Shen Ye: "..."

In fact, although the battle yesterday was fierce, some flowers still remained in the flowerbed, after all, these were carefully planted by Alice and had a very strong vitality.

So many people came in the morning, and after discovering that there were such rare flowers growing here, many of them secretly dug one up before leaving. As a result, when Alice and Shen Ye arrived, not only were the flowers gone, but the soil where the flowers were planted had also been dug up completely, leaving nothing behind.
