Infinite: Starting from Resident Evil

Perhaps sensing that there were guests at home, Enzo's wife quickly finished her prayers and then picked up her knife and fork to eat.

Since they were guests, Shen Ye didn't discuss sensitive topics like demons and angels during the meal. Instead, he shared some of his experiences in China to liven things up. Clearly, the Enzo family was very curious about that mysterious Eastern country, so they listened very attentively.

And so, the dinner was spent in a very harmonious atmosphere.

After dinner, Enzo suddenly had something to do and went to take a phone call in the living room. Enzo's wife and daughter Edna washed the dishes, and finally Enzo's son Ed took Shen Ye to the room prepared for him.

After waving goodbye to the cute little boy, Shen Ye closed the door, lay down on the bed, and then took out his phone to call Jeanne.

In fact, he should have called Joan of Arc when he got off the plane, but Enzo kept talking about other things, and he didn't have a chance or time.

The international call was made very quickly.

"Darling, your call came just in time; I had just woken up," came Joan's languid voice from the other end of the line.

Shen Ye smiled and said, "It seems that it was the right thing for me not to call you right after I got off the plane."

"Then I'd rather you call me when you get off the plane, even if it wakes me up, at least I'll be happy."

"Hearing that makes me really want to buy a plane ticket and go back right now."

"Don't worry, darling, I'll be going to the US soon too. You stay there and wait for me."

"All right……"

However, before Shen Ye and Zhen De could even finish their long phone conversation, there was a knock on the door.

Shen Ye told Jeanne to wait a moment, then called out towards the door, "Is there something you need?"

“Something’s happened, and it’s urgent,” Enzo’s voice came from outside the door.

So Shen Ye could only apologize to Jeanne, hang up the phone, and then go to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, Enzo said impatiently, "Come out with me quickly."

"What's wrong?" Shen Ye asked curiously.

“My business partner suddenly died, and I have to go collect his body.”

"So what do you want me to do? Help you carry your body? Or do you want to temporarily play the role of a clergyman and have me assist you?" Shen Ye joked, because he couldn't see a trace of sadness in Enzo's eyes.

At the same time, he also guessed who the dead person was.

“My wife is more suited to mourning than I am. I just feel that my business partner’s death was suspicious. You probably don’t know, but he was no ordinary person, so I need your help to back him up.” Enzo was a cautious man. He was worried that he might encounter danger while collecting the body, so he turned to Shen Ye for help.

"Alright then, but it's really unlucky to run into something like this right away." Shen Ye shrugged and didn't refuse.

“I also feel it’s bad luck, but there’s nothing I can do. If I don’t go, that woman probably won’t be able to handle it. She’s more suited to fighting and killing than to playing the role of a nun.” Enzo muttered incoherently as he led Shen Ye out the door.

Enzo got into the sports car and drove towards the city's slums.

Enzo kept talking throughout the journey.

"That guy runs a bar called Hell's Gate. The customers there usually call it Hell Bar. I heard he has a deep connection with the devil, so I think he should go to hell with the devil."

"This is a good thing, you know? He deserves to go to hell. Of course, the best outcome for me is that I don't have to pay back the money I owe for those drinks."

"But what can I do? He's my business partner, well, our relationship can go even further, we're practically friends. So, as a friend, even though I also want him to go to hell sooner, I still have to make arrangements for his funeral. So I've already made the call and prepared the best oak coffin for him."

And so, amidst Enzo's incessant chatter, the convertible sports car arrived in the city's slums.

Of course, calling it a slum only means that the environment here is dirty, chaotic, and the security is poor, but the roads are still passable. So after winding through the slum, Enzo parked the car in front of a bar that looked inconspicuous.

As Shen Ye got out of the car, he glanced at the neon sign above the bar. The dark red light made the words "Gates of Hell" look extremely eerie.

Just as Shen Ye was about to follow Enzo into the bar, a meow caught his attention.

Following the sound, Shen Ye raised his head even higher and saw a black cat perched on a protruding roof at the very top of the bar.

Seemingly noticing Shen Ye's gaze, the black cat stood up and looked at Shen Ye in a human-like manner, its dark vertical pupils carrying a hint of scrutiny.

……

Chapter 509! The Nun! Bayonetta

……

Although he was being scrutinized, Shen Ye was all too familiar with the human-like gaze in the black cat's eyes; the silver-haired witch had looked at him the same way when she transformed into a cat.

"Shen, why are you stopping? Or have you never been to a place like this before?"

Enzo, who was about to push open the door, noticed that there was no movement behind him, so he turned around and saw that Shen Ye seemed to be looking up at the sky.

"Have you ever encountered a cat when you came to this bar before?" Shen Ye asked, tilting his head back without looking down.

“Of course not, that guy would never keep a cat, he’d probably keep a dog. But now that he’s dead, that woman will inherit the bar, and maybe she’ll keep a cat.” Enzo said as he walked back, looking up like Shen Ye, and then he saw the black cat.

“It’s a very beautiful cat. Maybe it’s someone’s pet cat that ran away, or maybe it’s a stray. What, do you want to adopt it?” Enzo asked again.

These cats are not easy to raise... but Shen Ye still nodded: "If possible, I'd like to."

Enzo patted Shen Ye on the shoulder, shook his head and said, "Don't even think about it. It would be okay if it were a dog, but you can't tame a stray cat."

"Just raise it as a house cat, right?" Shen Ye shrugged at him, while shaking off his fat, large hand.

"Then hopefully you can attract it, otherwise it will definitely run away." Enzo raised his hand, but in the end he didn't continue to pat Shen Ye's shoulder. He wasn't tall enough and had to stand on tiptoe, which was a very uncomfortable position. So he turned around and walked towards the bar entrance, then turned back and waved to Shen Ye, saying, "Come in first. If you are destined to meet it, it will be waiting for you at the door."

Watching the black cat suddenly leap away and disappear into the night, Shen Ye smiled and said, "Thank you for your kind words."

As the two were talking, Enzo pushed open the bar door.

Shen Ye immediately stepped forward and curiously peered inside. He discovered that the interior of the bar was almost exactly the same as in the game, and it was quite different from the space shown outside. The space inside was several times larger than it appeared from the outside.

Enzo sighed and said, "When I used to come here, I could usually hear that guy's enthusiastic welcome. Now I can't hear it anymore, and I suddenly miss it."

"Maybe you'll be able to hear it again in the future," Shen Ye said as he walked into the bar.

Enzo came in, closed the door, and muttered as he walked, "You mean he'll crawl back from hell? That's not good news. He'll be asking me for money for drinks."

At this point, he muttered to himself, "Maybe I should pay him."

By this time, he had walked behind the bar counter. Looking at the liquor cabinet in front of him, he picked out a bottle of whiskey, took two glasses, and poured himself two drinks without any hesitation.

After handing one of the glasses to Shen Ye, he continued, "However, before paying, I have to owe him a little more for the wine... Shen, don't be shy, this is his treasured wine."

"I won't stand on ceremony, consider it your treat." Shen Ye took a small sip; the taste was alright, but not to his liking. So he sat down at the bar, swirled his glass, and watched the liquid spin inside, saying, "Aren't you afraid he'll crawl back from hell right now if you do this?"

“Hehe, I’m not afraid at all.” Enzo said, downing the wine in his glass in one gulp, then grabbing the bottle and taking another big gulp.

However, at that moment, a small door next to the wine cabinet suddenly opened, and a tall woman dressed in a white nun's habit walked out.

Upon seeing the woman emerge, Enzo quickly wiped his mouth and greeted her, "Hey, Bayonetta, I've come as invited. Where's Rodin? I need to say goodbye to my friends. And you're wearing a nun's habit? Are you planning to pray for him? Forget it, someone like him won't get into heaven."

The tall woman in the white nun's habit is Bayonetta, the protagonist of Bayonetta.

After hearing Enzo's words, Bayonetta merely glanced at him before turning her attention to Shen Ye and asking in a flat tone, "Enzo, is this your client?"

“Client? You’re insulting my friend. Listen, his name is Shen Ye, he’s my good friend. He saved me, he saved my whole family.” Enzo walked up to Shen Ye and patted his shoulder hard. “My friend, this is the woman I was talking about. Come on, say hello to her.”

“Hello, Sister.” Shen Ye raised his glass to Bayonetta.

After changing into her nun's habit, Bayonetta seemed to have truly become a nun. She crossed her arms and placed them in front of her chest, bowing slightly to Shen Ye: "Hello, sir from the East."

Seeing how polite the two were, Enzo shook his head: "It's sickening to watch. Listen, Bayonetta, you can just call him Shen, he won't mind. And Shen, you can just call her Bayonetta, she won't mind either."

However, neither of them paid any attention to Enzo. After exchanging greetings, the two stared at each other, but no sparks flew between them.

After a long while, Bayonetta looked away and turned to Enzo, noticing that he had half-finished his whiskey. She chuckled and said, "If Rodin knew you were wasting his whiskey like this, he would be furious."

“Then he has to be able to get angry now,” Enzo said nonchalantly. “By the way, Bayonetta, how did she die?”

“What other ways can a man die? He’s either murdered or he dies in bed. I’ve heard that many prostitutes have come to the slums. Maybe he died from excessive indulgence,” Bayonetta said calmly.

Enzo was not surprised by the woman's words; on the contrary, he was used to them and even nodded in agreement: "Then I'm relieved. At least he enjoyed himself before he died."

Listening to their conversation, even though he knew from the start it wouldn't be anything nice, Shen Ye's lips still twitched a few times after hearing it, thinking to himself, no wonder these people were gathered together.

However... although both are witches, Jeanne d'Arc sometimes makes unrestrained jokes, but she is still more restrained than Bayonetta.

As Shen Ye was thinking this, Enzo spoke up again: "Alright, regardless of whether Rodin died in a woman's bed or not, I at least have to see him. Bayonetta, where is he now?"

Bayonetta shook her head: "He's in the coffin now. You won't see him unless you try to pry it open."

Upon hearing this, Enzo did not show any disappointment. Instead, he immediately took out his phone and said, "Then I need to return that oak coffin as soon as possible."

Seeing this, Shen Ye sighed speechlessly.

They really are good friends!

Chapter 510! How to raise a stray cat into a domestic cat

……

Enzo quickly canceled the coffin he had ordered, then casually resumed drinking, saying, "What are we supposed to do now? The body's been taken, are we just going to sit here?"

Bayonetta didn't respond to him immediately. Instead, she took a bottle of brandy from the liquor cabinet, poured herself a glass, and leaned against the bar to drink it. After finishing her glass, she said, "According to the procedure, we should be keeping vigil for him now. Enzo, if you have anything you want to say to him, you can go to the wine cellar."

“I don’t want to be stuck with a dead man,” Enzo muttered. He glanced at Shen Ye, then at Bayonetta, his eyes darting around before he chuckled. “Look, there are three of us. Instead of just sitting here, how about we play some exciting games?”
