Infinite: Starting from Resident Evil

Unlike modern times, there were no satellite maps in ancient times, and Yuzhou City was a large city, so people who were not familiar with the area could easily get lost.

So he had to ask passersby for directions, but most of them avoided him when they saw his strange clothes and saw him coming. In the end, only one kind old man was willing to give him directions.

However, the old man's communication skills were not very good. He kept switching between different phrases, making no sense, and using difficult slang. Shen Ye listened for a while but still couldn't understand him. In the end, he could only thank the old man and take his leave.

After wandering around for a while, Shen Ye felt a little tired.

It wasn't that he was physically tired; he could run for days and nights without any problem. He just felt mentally exhausted, probably from the emptiness that came after the novelty wore off, or perhaps from the helplessness he felt from being pointed at and talked about along the way. So he decided to rest for a while. Anyway, it was still early, and he wasn't in a hurry.

Shen Ye casually found a step by the roadside to sit down. While recalling the plot in his mind, he sighed and muttered that modern society was much better. Not only were there shopping malls everywhere, but even if he went to an unfamiliar place, he could just take a taxi. It was so much better than this situation of wandering around like a headless fly.

Just as he was sighing and complaining, he suddenly heard a commotion coming from a noodle stall not far away, and he watched the excitement with great interest for a while.

But as the argument escalated, a fight broke out, and even the noodle stall was overturned, with chopsticks and bowls scattered all over the ground. Only one lucky little bowl rolled right up to him.

“A bowl from the late Tang Dynasty…” Shen Ye picked up the bowl, held it in his palm and began to examine it, thinking that this thing should be worth a lot of money if he took it back.

Just as he was thinking, he suddenly felt a fragrant breeze. He looked up slightly, but only saw a pair of long legs wearing knee-high socks walk past him.

Before he could look up and examine it more closely, the owner of those long legs tossed a few round objects into the bowl he was holding, making a few crisp sounds.

Shen Ye was taken aback, and no longer cared about what the owner of the leg looked like. He picked up the contents of the bowl and saw that they were several copper coins in very good condition.

"The copper coins from the late Tang Dynasty, judging from their quality, shouldn't have contained much iron. So, taking them back would be like... wait, am I being mistaken for a beggar?" The surprise on his face had just turned into astonishment. Shen Ye suddenly looked up in the direction the woman had gone and got up to chase after her.

“Wait a minute!” he shouted.

Hearing his call, the woman in front stopped, then turned around and looked coldly at Shen Ye, asking in a cold voice, "What? You think it's not enough?"

"I... I didn't..." Shen Ye couldn't finish his sentence. He stared blankly at the woman in front of him who had covered her pretty face with a blue face mask, wondering why she had come to Yuzhou so early.

If he wasn't mistaken, the woman in front of him should be one of the female leads of the drama, Ji Ruxue.

So, is it always such a coincidence? Shen Ye thought helplessly.

"What are you not?" Seeing that the man in front of her had only spoken halfway through his sentence and was staring straight at her, a hint of displeasure flashed in Ji Ruxue's eyes.

Shen Ye then came to his senses and quickly handed the copper coins back.

"I'm not a beggar, you can take this money back."

"If you're not a beggar, then what are you doing sitting by the roadside with a bowl in your hand?" Ji Ruxue looked at the few copper coins in Shen Ye's hand but didn't reach out to take them.

“Sit down and rest by the roadside. I picked up this bowl too. There was a fight over there, and this bowl rolled right in front of me, so I picked it up.” Shen Ye pointed to the place where the fight had just taken place.

Ji Ruxue immediately looked in the direction he was pointing and saw that the place was in a mess. A middle-aged man who looked like a noodle stall owner was picking up the bowls that were not broken from the ground with a bitter face.

"Besides, have you ever seen a beggar as clean as me?" Shen Ye continued. He was wearing a short-sleeved shirt, so he directly stretched his arm across in front of Ji Ruxue. The distance was so close that Ji Ruxue could even smell the scent of shower gel on his arm.

Although people from the martial arts world are known for their informality, Ji Ruxue wasn't used to men getting so close to her. She took a step back and then said calmly, "Whether you're a beggar or not, I've given you the money, so I..."

As she said this, she suddenly seemed to notice something, frowned and glanced behind Shen Ye, then quickly finished speaking and hurriedly turned and left.

"I won't take the money back. Keep it and buy some steamed buns."

Watching Ji Ruxue leave in a hurry, Shen Ye tossed the few copper coins in his hand, then turned his head slightly and glanced behind him out of the corner of his eye. He saw several suspicious people looking in the direction Ji Ruxue had left.

"The Xuanming Sect?" Shen Ye instantly realized who these people were.

After all, in the original story, the Xuanming Sect was hunting down Ji Ruxue because of the Fire Spirit Mushroom in her possession.

Then, he looked again in the direction Ji Ruxue had left and continued to mutter, "Steamed buns... I don't really like them. I prefer steamed buns, especially big ones."

After saying this, Shen Ye sat back down by the roadside, but when the people who were following Ji Ruxue passed by him, he stood up again and followed them at a distance.

While following those people, Shen Ye also kept an eye on his surroundings. As he passed a house, he noticed a few clothes drying in the yard that fit his size perfectly. He slipped inside, threw down a piece of gold, and took the clothes with him.

……

Chapter 380! Fate

……

During the tracking, Shen Ye took the opportunity to change his clothes, which made him look somewhat like a "local." Although he was still wearing sneakers and had short hair, he was at least less noticeable than before, and the tracking distance was also shortened considerably.

However, after following for a short while, when they entered a secluded alley, Shen Ye noticed that the Xuanming Sect members who were following Ji Ruxue suddenly stopped, then scattered anxiously, looking around as if searching for something.

"It looks like we've lost them?"

Seeing this, Shen Ye immediately understood what had happened. When he and his comrades first carried out a tracking mission, their expressions and behaviors when they lost track of someone were exactly the same as theirs.

Shaking his head helplessly, Shen Ye turned and left. Since they had lost track of the person, there was no need for him to follow them any further.

Then he looked at the sky and, seeing that it was getting late, decided to find a place to stay and wait for the story to begin.

Actually, he initially thought of going to other places to actively contact the characters who would appear in the later plot, but ancient times were not like modern times. Transportation was really inconvenient. Relying on his two legs, it would take forever to go to other places. More importantly, he had neither a map nor a good understanding of the names of various places in ancient times. So in the end, he could only follow the plot and make other plans after he became familiar with it.

With that thought in mind, Shen Ye left the alley and wandered aimlessly through the streets before luckily finding an inn.

Although he had short hair, he didn't look so strange after changing into "local" clothes. So when he arrived, the shopkeeper greeted him warmly from behind the counter and asked, "Sir, please come in. Are you here for a meal or to stay the night?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Ye almost burst out laughing. If he hadn't actually time-traveled, he would have thought he was making a cameo appearance in some period drama.

"A meal and a hotel room." Shen Ye tried hard to suppress his laughter, then, recalling the classic scene of Ying Gou, one of the Four Corpse Ancestors, he added, "A soft bed room, plus a table of first-class banquet."

After saying all that, Shen Ye finally couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.

The shopkeeper looked at Shen Ye with some confusion, wondering if he had encountered a madman, when he saw Shen Ye throw over a small piece of gold.

Gold has always been the most reliable currency throughout history and across the world, not to mention the chaotic times at the end of the Tang Dynasty. The shopkeeper took the gold, weighed it in his hand, and knew it was genuine. He immediately came out from behind the counter with a big smile, bowing and saying, "Sir, please come with me, I will take you to the upper room right away."

Shen Ye nodded and was about to follow the innkeeper upstairs when another person walked in from outside the inn.

"Manager, please give me a superior room, and also cook a few dishes and send them to my room." The man shouted at the manager as soon as he entered the room. His voice was cold, but it sounded very familiar to Shen Ye.

Shen Ye immediately turned around and looked over. Sure enough, the person who came was Ji Ruxue, who had been lost by the Xuanming Sect.

"Is this fate?" Shen Ye was surprised. How could he run into her at just any inn?

"It's you……"

When Shen Ye looked at Ji Ruxue, Ji Ruxue also noticed him and was equally surprised.

Seeing that Ji Ruxue had noticed him, Shen Ye thought for a moment, then cupped his hands in greeting to Ji Ruxue and said with a smile, "Miss, we meet again. Is this fate between us?"

Ji Ruxue did not respond. Instead, she gave him a cold look. Later, as the waiter led her upstairs, she passed by Shen Ye and snorted at him, "You lecher."

These three words left Shen Ye somewhat bewildered. He wondered if he had done anything wrong, so how could he be considered a lecher? Had his words just now seemed too flippant?

He thought about it for a while but still couldn't figure it out. Then, led by the shopkeeper, he arrived at the door of his room.

What surprised Shen Ye even more was that Ji Ruxue's room was right next to his. At this moment, she was standing at the door, giving some instructions to the waiter. When she caught sight of Shen Ye coming over out of the corner of her eye, she immediately frowned.

Having been called a lecher when he tried to flirt with her before, Shen Ye decided to ignore her this time and walked into his room without looking away.

After instructing the innkeeper to serve the dishes as soon as possible, Shen Ye took off his shoes, lay down on the bed, and comfortably crossed his legs, waiting for his top-notch banquet...

……

Before we knew it, it was midnight.

Shen Ye changed into the new clothes and shoes he had asked the shop assistant to buy for him, and paced back and forth in the room with some hesitation.

"Should I go and see for myself?" he wondered, torn between the two options.

Because entertainment options in ancient times were so limited, Shen Ye started to feel bored soon after finishing dinner and taking a bath. He wanted to go to bed early, but he couldn't fall asleep since he usually didn't go to bed until 11 or 12. In the end, he could only sit on the bed in a daze.

However, after spacing out for a while, he suddenly remembered the brothel he had passed by that afternoon and immediately had the idea of ​​going to check it out.

But after changing his clothes, he hesitated again. After all, visiting a brothel was considered elegant, but it was also considered prostitution, so he felt a little embarrassed.

"Forget it, we're in ancient times now, might as well go and see for ourselves. Besides, someone once said that if you don't pay... no, if you don't stay overnight, it's not considered prostitution."

After hesitating for a while, Shen Ye finally convinced himself and left the room without looking back.

At the entrance of the inn, Shen Ye woke up the waiter who was dozing off at the door, then took out a few taels of silver and tossed it to him: "Where is the best brothel in the city?"

Upon seeing the loose silver, the waiter immediately perked up and exclaimed, "Oh my, sir, you've come to the right person! I know all the brothels and entertainment venues in the city, big and small..."

"Stop talking nonsense, just tell me how to get there." Shen Ye interrupted the waiter impatiently.

The waiter shrank back and quickly said, "Sir, just walk straight along this road, and you'll see it at the first corner."

Shen Ye nodded and turned to walk in the direction the waiter was pointing.

However, he hadn't walked far when he suddenly heard the creaking sound of a window being opened above him.

Shen Ye subconsciously looked up and saw Ji Ruxue leap out of the window, gracefully passing over his head.

"No streetlights, what a pity..." Upon seeing this scene, Shen Ye immediately had this thought in his mind. You know, in the world of Bad Guys, many female characters wear skirts that show their legs, but without streetlights, he couldn't see anything clearly just now.

"But where is she going in the middle of the night?"

Pulling back his wandering thoughts, Shen Ye followed with some doubt, completely forgetting his idea of ​​going to a brothel to see for himself.
