Infinite: Starting from Resident Evil

Across from him, Jeanne noticed the wide range of expressions on Shen Ye's face and asked with some confusion, "Shen, what's wrong?"

"Nothing, just thinking about something." Shen Ye pinched the bridge of his nose and asked, "When do you want me to leave?"

Joan thought for a moment and said, "Let's wait a few days. We need to wait until Enzo gets your permanent visa before we can talk to each other, otherwise we won't be able to contact each other."

“Okay.” Shen Ye nodded.

"I'll go do my makeup now. You can come to school with me this afternoon if you want," Jeanne said, getting up and walking into the bedroom.

……

In the afternoon, Shen Ye still went to school with Jeanne. He thought that since he might have to go find another witch in a few days, he might as well spend these few days with her.

So for the rest of the time, Shen Ye was almost inseparable from Joan of Arc. Except when they went to the toilet, they were never apart, not even when they took a bath.

Of course, Shen Ye didn't just play around. He would still take the time to ask those two questions. At first, they would respond with a few words, but later, just like responding to someone he didn't know well in a certain letter, they would just say "oh" or "um," leaving him confused and wondering where he had offended them.

Then, in the blink of an eye, a week had passed.

Shen Ye had already bought his plane ticket and was waiting outside the airport when Jeanne d'Arc came to see him off.

After the two shared a passionate kiss outside the airport, oblivious to everyone else, Joan of Arc released her hands from Shen Ye's cheeks and straightened his clothes.

"Be careful on the road, and call me if you miss me. If you're lonely, don't go looking for other women, they're dirty. I put several pairs of stockings in your suitcase, all of them are ones I've changed out of these past few days and haven't washed yet. Don't worry, they're enchanted, they won't go bad..." The witch felt like she was nagging for the first time, but she continued, "Even when I'm not by your side, you still need to eat on time and sleep on time, hey, did you hear me..."

The witch cupped Shen Ye's cheeks again and said.

Shen Ye nodded vigorously, feeling as if his mouth was distorted by the witch's hand, and mumbled, "I heard you clearly."

The witch nodded in satisfaction and continued, "We found Ceresa... well, she should be called Bayonetta now. After finding her, treat her well. She's been asleep for so many years, and I heard she's lost her memories, so we can't bully her."

"Will not."

"That's good." The witch released Shen Ye's cheek and then threw herself into his arms again.

"Be careful. I'll probably be going in a few days, and then... I'll help you too."

Shen Ye understood what he meant by "help," and hugged her tightly before kissing her again.

Several minutes later, the two separated.

"I am leaving."

"Ok!"

After watching Shen Ye enter the airport and until he was out of sight, Jeanne d'Arc finally mounted her motorcycle.

However, at that moment, from the overlapping layers of space and time, a mysterious force crossed over and entered her body, releasing the restrictions on her body without her or Badr's knowledge.

A faint, cold snort could be heard.

……

(After writing almost twenty chapters about the second female lead, it's time for the first female lead to take her place...)

(Also, not taking Joan of Arc along was to better write Bayonetta's storyline, and also to have Joan of Arc provide assistance...)

Chapter 507! East Coast

(I fixed some errors, lol. I always thought the cutscene at the beginning of the first chapter referred to the route the gem was being transported, but after replaying it, I realized it wasn't...)

……

Unlike the cutscene at the beginning of the first chapter in the game, Shen Ye's journey from Country D to a major city on the east coast of Country M actually only took seven or eight hours. Unlike in the game, he did not stop in Japan along the way. So he set off in the morning and arrived near dusk.

Because he had already contacted Enzo before coming, Shen Ye saw Enzo holding up a sign with his name on it as soon as he got off the plane.

In fact, Shen Ye originally planned to wait two more days before coming to the United States, but after informing Enzo, Enzo strongly urged Shen Ye to come to the United States ahead of time so that he could invite Shen Ye to his home as a guest.

"Hey, my friend, you're finally here. I thought this damn plane was delayed again... But why are you sniffing so hard?" Enzo rushed to greet Shen Ye as he approached, but then asked, puzzled, when he saw Shen Ye sniffing so hard.

Shen Ye deliberately asked, "Don't you think the air here is very free?"

“I know that the United States is a free country, but I’ve never heard that the air here is also free… But, my friend, believe me, this kind of freedom is not good. I have to be very careful when I take my child to school now, for fear of encountering a shooting on the way. You know, there are no restrictions on gun ownership here.” Enzo heard the teasing tone in Shen Ye’s voice, but still complained.

"Then why don't you choose another country?" Shen Ye asked jokingly.

“Ahem… Because I occasionally do arms dealing, you probably don’t know this, but it’s not allowed to possess fully automatic rifles here. However, I can get them, and I can usually sell them for several times the market price. It’s a very profitable business.” Enzo coughed lightly. “Besides, the nights here are chaotic enough that I can get a lot of unexpected business… Come with me to the parking lot first.”

"Business, what business? Are you trying to fool unlucky guys for the devil or recruit believers for the angels?" Shen Ye glanced at him and followed behind him toward the parking lot.

Enzo glanced around, slowed his pace, and walked shoulder to shoulder with Shen Ye… Well, he was too short; his head couldn't even reach Shen Ye's shoulder. But he still tried to stand on tiptoe and whispered, “That's big business, very rare to do. I'm talking about some insignificant small businesses. For example, there are many people in this world who worship vampires. I can help them contact some low-level vampires or get some vampire blood that is still alive.”

"Sounds like he's a pimp?" Shen Ye wasn't surprised at all that Enzo mentioned vampires. This was a mythical world with demons and gods, so naturally there would be vampires... or rather, this was another story world that had been slightly modified or adjusted.

Upon hearing Shen Ye utter the word "pimp," Enzo chuckled awkwardly, then said seriously, "To put it simply, I'd say I'm a middleman. But this business isn't easy. Many unlucky souls get their blood drained by those thirsty vampires, so I often don't receive the final payment. Besides, there are quite a few church demon hunters in this city who hunt vampires and demons everywhere, so it's hard to get live vampire blood. I was even thinking of giving up on this business."

As they were talking, Enzo stopped next to a convertible sports car. He took out his key, pressed a button, and then said to Shen Ye, "Get in, my friend. My child has prepared a cake. Hmm, I hope you like sweets."

“Generally speaking, my opinion on desserts is that they are not sweet enough, so I hope your child hasn’t fully adapted to the tastes of this country yet,” Shen Ye said to Enzo after getting into the car. He had eaten a cake that Jill bought for him when he was in Raccoon City, and the cloyingly sweet taste was something he would remember for a lifetime.

"That's a pity. I specifically asked my daughter to add a few extra spoonfuls of sugar before I left," Enzo said with some regret, before starting the sports car.

……

The sports car quickly drove into an affluent neighborhood.

This also shows that Enzo's business was indeed very profitable.

The safety level of wealthy areas in the United States is several times that of other areas. Although the wealthy area where Enzo lived was not the best, it was not much different. So Enzo parked his sports car on the side of the road and led Shen Ye to his residence.

Enzo reached the door and rang the doorbell. A moment later, a child's voice rang out from behind the door: "Daddy, is that you?"

“My dearest Edna, it’s me, and your Uncle Shen.” Enzo smiled kindly.

Click, the door opened, and a little girl rushed out, hugging Enzo's leg tightly. Then she looked up and curiously examined Shen Ye. Last time, the little girl was only thinking about greeting Jeanne and didn't really look at Shen Ye properly.

"Hi!" Shen Ye greeted the little girl, then took out a gift he had prepared before setting off and handed it to her.

The little girl didn't take it immediately. Instead, she looked up at Enzo and, after receiving her father's permission, carefully took it and politely said, "Thank you, Uncle."

Shen Ye didn't correct the little girl's way of addressing him and made her call him "brother," otherwise it would feel like he was unnecessarily a generation lower than Enzo.

Seeing his daughter holding a gift in one arm and clinging to his leg with the other, Enzo bent down and pulled her into his arms, saying, "Is the cake ready, Edna?"

"It's done! Ed and Mom are clearing the table. Mom even made my favorite Chinese food," the little girl said in a clear voice.

“It seems we’ve arrived at just the right time, Shen. Welcome to my home. I hope it will bring you the warmth of home,” Enzo said to Shen Ye.

"It's an honor." Shen Ye nodded, then followed Enzo into the house.

Upon entering the living room, Shen Ye saw Enzo's wife, a tall and beautiful woman, who was bringing food to the dining table with a young boy. Seeing Shen Ye and Enzo enter, the woman stopped what she was doing, came over, hugged Enzo, and then said to Shen Ye, "Welcome, kind person who helped us. Oh, why are you alone? Didn't your girlfriend come?"

Shen Ye greeted her, gave the gift to Enzo's son, and then replied, "She is a teacher and will be coming in a few days."

"That's a real shame. I was hoping she could try my cooking," Enzo's wife said regretfully.

At this point, Enzo added, "My wife is an excellent cook. There was once a very awful woman who praised her cooking to the skies."

"Then I'll have to savor it properly," Shen Ye said with a smile. At the same time, he also knew who the despicable woman Enzo was talking about was...

One of the only two witches, Bayonetta.

……

(Okay, let's move on to a different chapter. It will take time to play the game again...)

(I've added some content that wasn't in the game or movie. Also, please ignore some minor bugs, hehe.)

Chapter 508! The Gates of Hell

……

Because Enzo mentioned Bayonetta, Shen Ye asked in a surprised tone, "By the way, Enzo, I suddenly want to get to know this woman who even a shrewd businessman like you finds despicable."

"My advice is to stay away from her. She's a witch who brings misfortune. I've done business with her several times, and each time I've lost everything."

Enzo said somewhat angrily, of course, not because Shen Ye called him mercenary; he was a businessman, so being mercenary was normal for him.

“She was brought over by one of my business partners, named Bayonetta. However, although she’s awful, she has a great figure and is as tall as your girlfriend. Now that I think about it, I wonder if they were long-lost sisters.”

"Forget it, let's not talk about such unpleasant things. If you really want to see her, I can take you somewhere tomorrow. Hehe, my friend, it's a great place."

After saying this, Enzo pulled out a chair and gestured an invitation to Shen Ye.

"Please sit down. Although you said your highest praise for desserts is that they are not sweet, I still hope you can try the cake that my wife and daughter made. They will be very happy."

Faced with Enzo's enthusiastic invitation, Shen Ye temporarily put aside his other thoughts, sat down, and accepted the cake that the little girl Edna painstakingly tiptoed to hand him.

"Thank you."

Shen Ye patted the little girl's head, startling her so much that she ran behind Enzo. He could only smile helplessly and pick up the spoon.

Just as he expected, the cake was so rich that he couldn't stand it, but it was also a kind gesture, so he didn't show any discomfort and ate it without changing his expression.

However, halfway through the meal, he noticed that Enzo's wife had her hands clasped together in front of her, seemingly in prayer.

“My wife is a Puritan,” Enzo said to him in a low voice, sounding helpless.

“I can understand.” Shen Ye nodded understandingly, but found it somewhat amusing. It was hard to imagine that someone as sharp-tongued and mean as Enzo, who dared to make deals with the devil, had a Puritan wife.
