Infinite: Starting from Resident Evil

“But the formal suits you’ve got your eye on are all too flashy colors—red, yellow, green, white.” Shen Ye frowned. “Compared to these colors, I still prefer black.”

Upon hearing this, Joan of Arc glanced down at her clothes and frowned, saying, "You should have said so earlier. I also have a black dress."

"Also, don't you like red?" Joan of Arc's favorite thing right now was that red leather coat that cost her a month's salary.

"No, no, no, I mean my personal preference when it comes to clothing." Shen Ye shook his head and explained, "As for you, you look good in any color."

"Then why not wear it?" Joan of Arc suddenly asked.

Miss Witch, you took that turn so suddenly! How am I supposed to answer that...?

After clearing his throat, Shen Ye said in a serious tone, "That's definitely the best way to look at it."

As they were talking, the restaurant waiter brought up the dishes that Jeanne had ordered, and the witch closed her mouth again, which she had just slightly opened.

It wouldn't be good if outsiders overheard them flirting.

Since it was just the two of them eating, they naturally couldn't eat much, so Joan of Arc only ordered four dishes.

Looking at the obviously modified D-style Chinese food, Shen Ye tried it out of curiosity and found it quite delicious, at least not as sweet as the American-style Chinese food he had in the US.

While eating heartily, Shen Ye glanced around the restaurant and chatted with Jeanne.

"What is this country most famous for? If I have nothing to do, I would love to go and visit it."

Because Shen Ye was eating, he didn't speak clearly, and Jeanne was also thinking about something and didn't hear him clearly either, blurting out: "The most famous in D country... I think it's the Gestapo."

Shen Ye was taken aback for a moment, then said helplessly, "I was referring to the location."

"I don't know about that. Even when I go out, it's not for fun," Jeanne said somewhat embarrassedly. "But I know there's a beer town near this city, and they're going to have a beer festival soon. If you'd like to go, we can go together next time."

"You can go and take a look if you have the chance," Shen Ye nodded.

As they were talking, a couple suddenly walked into the Chinese restaurant, each holding a child, a boy and a girl, who were both very cute.

Upon seeing them, a hint of doubt flashed in Shen Ye's eyes, wondering why he would encounter them in this city.

"That man's name is Enzo, and he's an information broker."

The silver-haired witch noticed that Shen Ye's gaze hadn't left his face, so she looked over and recognized the short, stout man who was hugging a boy.

"You seem to know him too?" Joan asked curiously. She remembered Shen Ye saying that this was his first time in Europe.

"I don't know him." Of course, Shen Ye couldn't say that he knew him. He shook his head slightly and said, "I just sensed magical fluctuations from him."

“That’s normal. Besides being an information broker, he’s also a pawnbroker of magical artifacts. He definitely has life-saving magical artifacts on him, so it’s normal that you can feel the magical fluctuations on his body,” Jeanne said. “Moreover, he’s very famous in the underworld of various countries, and the magical artifacts he sells are of very high quality. If you’re interested in magical artifacts, you might as well ask him about them. Of course, my advice is to just ask, because many people say that he’s extremely greedy. For money, he’s even willing to do business with both demons and angels at the same time. Usually, those who trade with him, even demons, will suffer huge losses.”

“That’s why people like that get rich,” Shen Ye said with a smile, then prepared to look away.

But then, a man wearing a trench coat and a cowboy hat walked in through the door, with a flippant expression.

“Luca…”

Upon seeing this man, Shen Ye's eyes narrowed slightly. This man could be considered, at best, the male lead in the Bayonetta series.

His gaze then shifted back to the short, stout man, Enzo. At that moment, he realized one thing: the man named Luca had been following Enzo.

Sure enough, at that moment, the man named Luca suddenly quickened his pace and deliberately bumped into Enzo. The distance was so close and the force so great that it even made the short and fat Enzo stumble.

"You bastard, can't you watch where you're going? Didn't you see I'm holding a child in my arms?"

Enzo has many flaws in his personality: arrogance, conceit, greed, and the cowardice that has allowed him to survive as a magic item pawnbroker. However, his strengths are obvious: he loves his family very much. Even though he thought the tall man in the trench coat was not someone to mess with, he still angrily cursed him.

"I'm sorry." Luca didn't care about Enzo's insults. This frivolous man apologized in a serious manner. Anyway, he had already achieved his goal, so being scolded a few times didn't matter.

Seeing that Luca was so sensible, Enzo muttered a few more curses under his breath, then ignored him. After all, Luca was timid and had his family with him in an unfamiliar city; he had to think about his family.

Seeing that the conflict between the two had been resolved so quickly, the onlookers were somewhat disappointed and withdrew their curious gazes.

Shen Ye and Jeanne were the same, but both of them noticed Luca's little tricks.

"That tall man seems to have put something on Enzo's clothes," Joan of Arc whispered.

“It must be a bugging device.” Shen Ye recalled the plot. He remembered that in the first part of the story, Luca was able to find Bayonetta’s location using this device, but Bayonetta quickly discovered it.

"It seems this information broker has offended someone again recently," Joan of Arc chuckled and whispered. "But that's perfectly normal. He's so greedy; he could easily be killed by his enemies on the street one day."

"I think the chances of him being killed by a demon are greater than the chances of him being killed by a human," Shen Ye said inexplicably.

Joan of Arc paused for a moment, then narrowed her eyes and nodded: "It seems he has offended not only people, but also the devil."

The reason the two said this was because they sensed a hostile demonic aura nearby, and this hostility was directed at Enzo.

"Jenny, if I kill a demon in front of you, the demon you've made a pact with shouldn't say anything, right?" Shen Ye looked at the silver-haired witch in front of him.

"Hell is chaotic and disorderly; killing one another is quite normal," Joan of Arc said nonchalantly, then asked, "You want to save him?"

Shen Ye naturally wouldn't reveal his true purpose, but simply said, "I like his children, they are very cute."

Joan of Arc's reply was: "Believe me, the child you have with me will be far more adorable than his."

……

Chapter 501! Interest

……

"So, Shen, do you want a child?" Joan of Arc asked again.

Shen Ye said he liked children because he wanted an excuse to get involved in Enzo's affairs. Of course, he did think Enzo's two children were very cute, but he had never thought about having children so soon. So he shook his head: "Although I like children very much, I am not interested in raising children for the time being."

Joan of Arc was not disappointed and asked again, "Then what are you interested in?"

Facing the witch, Shen Ye said very directly, "The process of creating a child."

The witch paused for a moment, then immediately understood the meaning of those words, and gave Shen Ye a meaningful look.

She then smiled again, but didn't say anything more.

Because Shen Ye decided to help Enzo, the information broker and magic item pawnbroker, the two slowed down their meal after ending their previous conversation. Luca, who had previously planted a listening device on Enzo, ordered two dishes and then packed them up to go.

The silver-haired witch didn't seem to care about Luca's departure, while Shen Ye watched Luca leave the restaurant before turning his gaze away, a thoughtful expression on his face.

As for what he was thinking, Joan of Arc, who had been watching his expressions closely, had no idea.

About an hour later, Enzo, his wife, and their two daughters finally finished eating. Seeing them get up to pay the bill, Shen Ye called over a waiter, and then left the Chinese restaurant one after the other with Enzo's family.

The two then discovered that after leaving the restaurant, Enzo's family did not leave by car, but instead crossed the road and went straight into the shopping mall they had been shopping in earlier.

When Jeanne first heard that Shen Ye was going to help Enzo, she thought that the afternoon shopping trip was going to be canceled. But now that she saw Enzo entering the mall with his family, she couldn't help but smile and say, "It seems that we can kill two birds with one stone today. I can buy you those outfits that you liked this morning."

"Where do you think he'll go after he goes in?" Shen Ye asked, shaking his head as he looked at Enzo, who had his son riding on his shoulders.

Joan of Arc thought for a moment, then said hesitantly, "The floor that sells children's clothing?"

Shen Ye nodded, and said with a sense of relief, "So we'll have to come back to buy clothes next time."

He still wasn't quite used to Joan of Arc's unique aesthetic sense.

However, upon hearing this, Joan of Arc was not disappointed at all. Instead, she said with some excitement, "That's alright. We can go to children's clothing stores and just consider it as choosing clothes for our children in advance."

Hearing Joan of Arc's words, Shen Ye was speechless for a moment. He didn't expect that the witch would actually take his casual excuse seriously.

But seeing Joan of Arc's excitement, Shen Ye wisely refrained from shattering her illusions. After all... this is fine, isn't it?

……

As expected, Enzo took his family directly to the children's clothing floor of the mall by elevator. Enzo, who was immersed in the great happiness of shopping with his family, did not notice Shen Ye and Jeanne following behind him.

In fact, as an information broker, his sense of danger was no less than that of the legendary Witcher, and he was very sensitive to changes in everything around him. However, he loved his family too much, and his whole heart was with them, so he didn't notice that there were two swaggering people following behind him.

Of course, another reason is that Shen Ye and Jeanne d'Arc did not have any ill intentions towards him. Otherwise, given Enzo's timid and cautious nature, he should have been able to sense something.

Meanwhile, Shen Ye and Jeanne, who were following Enzo into a children's clothing store, were each doing their own thing.

Joan of Arc held up a red children's t-shirt in front of Shen Ye: "Shen, what do you think of this t-shirt?"

She didn't care at all about Enzo's life or death; instead, she was very interested in the styles of children's clothing.

"Hmm, not bad." Shen Ye replied casually. He didn't like shopping anyway, and most of his attention was on Enzo.

Seeing Shen Ye's perfunctory attitude, Joan of Arc was very unhappy. She walked directly in front of Shen Ye and used her perfect body to block his view.

Then, she held up the red children's t-shirt in her hand.

"Shen, what do you think of this dress?"

Shen Ye helplessly shifted his attention to the T-shirt, and only then did he notice its color.

It's red again...

"It's alright," Shen Ye said tactfully, pinching the bridge of his nose.

"But you just said it was pretty good." The silver-haired witch muttered, handing the t-shirt to the sales assistant next to her.

"Madam, would you like it wrapped up?" the sales assistant asked expectantly.

“No, I just want you to put it back, because we don’t have children yet,” Joan of Arc told the sales assistant.

Upon hearing Joan of Arc's words, the saleswoman's professional fake smile vanished instantly. She muttered a few unintelligible words under her breath and then looked at her colleague with envy... The short, fat man she looked down on, whom she thought didn't have much money, had already bought four or five sets of expensive children's clothes for his children, while the elegant and handsome couple in front of her had only looked at them for a while and hadn't bought a single piece of clothing.

However, out of professional ethics, the sales assistant reverted to her professional fake smile, said that she could call her again if needed, and then left with the clothes.

Watching the sales assistant's retreating figure, Shen Ye looked at the silver-haired witch, who then picked up a children's garment and began to examine it carefully.
