Infinite: Starting from Resident Evil

Chapter 517! Goodbye, Miss Cat

(The ending of the previous chapter has been revised and supplemented.)

……

Shen Ye, of course, had no idea what Bayonetta was thinking, and he continued to praise her.

"My girlfriend is not only beautiful, but she also has a fantastic figure, as you've seen. Plus, she's very understanding and a great cook..."

"Wait... how did he know I can cook?" Bayonetta sensed something was off after hearing the last part, but she quickly offered her own explanation: "Oh right, I heard there's an old saying in Z country, something like 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder'... I think that's it, um, that's probably what he's thinking. But I haven't agreed yet, and you haven't confessed either, so what are you talking about? Besides, even if you did confess, I might not agree, we haven't known each other for very long."

In fact, during the decades since Bayonetta awakened, she has lived alone and is good at almost everything, much like Joan of Arc. Similarly, in terms of her way of thinking, she is not much different from Joan of Arc.

While the black-haired witch was lost in thought, Shen Ye had finished his chat with Enzo. After lunch, Shen Ye took Miss Cat to the living room and watched TV for the entire afternoon.

Knowing that she was about to carry out the plan she had devised with Rodin, Miss Cat was unusually quiet that afternoon, nestled in Shen Ye's arms and watching TV with him for the entire afternoon.

Then, it quickly became evening.

After having dinner and taking a shower, Shen Ye did not see Miss Cat when he returned to his bedroom.

Smelling the lingering scent of rosemary in the bedroom, Shen Ye smiled. He knew that from now on, there would probably only be Bayonetta, and no more Miss Cat.

Goodbye, Miss Cat.

Shen Ye suddenly felt a pang of sadness.

Then he laughed again:

"See you tomorrow, Miss Bayonetta."

……

Time passed quickly, and the next day arrived in the blink of an eye.

Not long after dinner, Enzo drove Shen Ye to the town's cemetery.

This morning, Enzo went out and contacted a funeral company to deliver Rodin's coffin to the town, so when they got there, they didn't have to do anything, just pay their respects and then bury him.

On the way, Enzo glanced at Shen Ye, whose hands were empty, and asked with some doubt, "Where's your cat? I haven't seen her all day."

“It ran away, it’s gone, it’s disappeared, it’s left me,” Shen Ye said sadly.

“Cats really are animals that can’t be tamed. You treated it so well, and it still ran away. I really feel sorry for you.” Enzo believed him and comforted him, “After we bury Rodin, I’ll go to the pet market and buy you a purebred kitten. I’ll raise it from a kitten to adulthood, and it definitely won’t run away.”

“No need to trouble yourself, and besides…” Shen Ye sighed, “Besides, no matter what breed of cat it is, none of them can compare to my Miss Cat.”

“But it’s already gone,” Enzo warned.

“But I will find her,” Shen Ye said to him earnestly.

Enzo was speechless. He looked at Shen Ye and finally shook his head: "Whatever you say."

As they were talking, the sports car had already driven out of the city.

The town they were heading to was only a few dozen kilometers from the city. With Enzo practically flooring the accelerator, they entered the town a dozen minutes later.

However, shortly after they entered the town, the previously cloudless sky was suddenly covered by dark clouds, and then a light drizzle began to fall.

“Look, even the weather doesn’t favor Rodin. He must have been so wicked before,” Enzo said sarcastically.

Shen Ye chimed in from the side, "Maybe God took pity on him?"

Enzo scoffed, "God? You mean God? Good heavens, he's a man who deserves to go to hell. It's a miracle that God didn't strike him with lightning. You're kidding me."

The thing is, I was just joking!

Shen Ye shook his head and then walked towards the cemetery.

……

Inside the cemetery, Bayonetta put on her nun's habit again, holding a Bible in her hands, and silently read aloud in front of a coffin.

“It’s useless to read the Bible to this person.”

"Everyone has been waiting for this bastard to die for years."

Before Shen Ye and Enzo even got close, Enzo started shouting loudly.

“Look, look, look around. Apart from Shen and me, no one is willing to attend this guy’s funeral, so don’t waste your energy, Bayonetta. The angels won’t respond, they won’t care, and he won’t be able to go to heaven anyway.”

In the quiet night, although it was drizzling, Enzo's voice still carried far, making the somewhat eerie cemetery a little lively.

Despite his voice, Bayonetta ignored him and continued to recite the Bible earnestly. It was hard to believe that she was a witch who had made a pact with the devil.

Looking at Bayonetta's holy expression, Shen Ye became very interested. The rain made his vision poor, so he walked directly to the witch's side and stared at her intently.

Interestingly, although Shen Ye didn't speak, he just looked at Bayonetta, but it had a greater impact on her than on Enzo, who kept talking loudly. She was originally reciting the scriptures fluently, but after seeing Shen Ye out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly became incoherent.

With a helpless glare at Shen Ye, Bayonetta raised the Bible in her hand to block Shen Ye's view, and then continued to read silently.

At that moment, Enzo walked over, a cigar dangling from his lips, which he concealed with his coat. After lighting the cigar, he took a deep drag, looked at the coffin, and said, "Beyond, how much longer will you take to finish?"

The black-haired witch still ignored him, so Enzo looked at Shen Ye and found him squatting next to the coffin with great interest, poking at it with a stick.

Enzo, a man who couldn't keep his mouth shut, started rambling on again: "Ah, speaking of which, Shen, you probably haven't met Rodin yet, have you? If you're interested, I can open the coffin for you so you can take a look, but this guy has been dead for several days, the body must be rotting... Never mind, I'd better not look, I still want to eat the cake my daughter made when I get home, I don't want to have no appetite."

Shen Ye glanced back at him, then continued tapping the coffin with the wooden stick.

Seeing that Shen Ye ignored him, Enzo was a little discouraged. He just wanted to find someone to have a good talk with.

He could only continue looking at Bayonetta: "Bayonetta, if you can really summon the angels down, I'll eat this coffin right here and now, how about it?"

He certainly didn't believe angels would descend to earth, which is why he dared to make this bet.

"Really?" Hearing Enzo's words, Shen Ye turned back to look at him.

“Of course it’s true.” Enzo nodded confidently.

Shen Ye nodded: "In that case, Enzo, I can only hope that your stomach is strong enough, wood is not so easy to digest."

"So you also believe that angels descend to earth?" Enzo asked curiously.

Shen Ye didn't speak, but looked up at the sky. The moment he looked up, golden light flashed in the sky.

……

(I originally wanted to write more about the interactions with Miss Cat, but after thinking about it, it's better to interact directly with Sister Bay.)

Chapter 518! The Witch Who Hunts Angels

……

Looking at the holy golden light above his head, Enzo's mouth dropped open, and he didn't even notice that the expensive cigar he was biting had fallen out of his mouth.

"How is this possible... They... really descended? Just for that scumbag, that bastard, they really descended?" He gesticulated wildly as he spoke to Shen Ye and Bayonetta, completely bewildered.

However, at this moment, he didn't know whether he was afraid or worried about his stomach, after all, he had just made a bet with Shen Ye that if the angel really descended, he would eat the coffin.

“Damn it, this light is my misfortune,” he cried out in distress.

However, although he saw the golden light, he did not see the angels. After all, he was just an ordinary person, and even when he made a deal with the devil, he had relied on Rodin in the past.

A glimmer of hope rose in his heart again.

"Actually, they didn't appear, right? This light was just an illusion, wasn't it?"

"I'm sorry, we can see you," Shen Ye said, leaning against a tombstone.

"And we can see very clearly that they are messengers of God, that is... angels."

"Oh my god."

Enzo was dumbfounded by the two men's certainty, but what shocked him even more was that Rodin's death could actually attract angels.

“He’s a complete bastard… Who’s ever seen a bastard go to heaven?” Enzo muttered again.

While Enzo was still in shock, Bayonetta threw away the Bible in her hand, stretched out a delicate white finger and drew a magnificent magic circle above her head. It was a magic circle that could send her into the purgatory space.

Just as she leaped into the air, preparing to pass through the magic circle and enter the purgatory space, he didn't forget to remind Shen Ye.

"Get away..."

However, before she could finish speaking, she realized something was wrong, because she had already come into contact with the magic circle. In her vision, Enzo had become semi-transparent, while Shen Ye was still clearly visible.

Yes, Shen Ye was once again inexplicably and passively drawn into the Purgatory Space.

But she had no time to be surprised, because the angel had already flown to her.

"We must deal with them quickly; angels don't show mercy to innocent people."

With that thought in mind, Bayonetta made a sudden move. She wasn't carrying any weapons, so she used physical techniques directly.

She twisted and delivered a flying kick, smashing the head of a low-ranking angel in mid-air. Then, she turned and punched another angel who couldn't dodge in time, causing his chest to cave in. Blood spurted from the angel's monstrous mouth.

"Hiss, is this how unorthodox methods work?" Seeing Bayonetta's violent approach, Shen Ye gasped. He recalled the scene of Miss Cat using a flying kick on him yesterday and couldn't help but feel a little pain in his face.

Having been asleep for five hundred years, Bayonetta had long forgotten the witch's fighting techniques, but her unorthodox methods were still quite powerful, seemingly not much weaker than Joan of Arc's.

At this moment, the black-haired witch, who had just finished off several low-level angels, noticed Shen Ye's shocked gaze. A slight smile played on her lips as she thought, "You'd better not offend me again, or else..."

Although she was distracted, Bayonetta's actions never stopped. She continued to kill the low-level angels who attacked her, and her battle with the angels caused Enzo, who was in the human world, to scream in agony.

Enzo couldn't see what was happening inside the Purgatory Space, but the battle inside could affect reality. In his vision, one deep pit after another appeared on the ground around him, and the innocent tombstones were smashed to pieces because of the battle. He could only cover his head, screaming and running around in a panic.
