Chapter 243 The Flames of Revenge! Return to the Main God Space, Rewards Calculated (4k)
The next instant, Lu Ming, holding the ghost bride's hand, disappeared from the spot.
The danger inside the church was even more terrifying than Lu Ming had anticipated. All the strange phenomena that existed in the inner world appeared simultaneously, and their level of terror was greatly amplified.
If it were any other challenger, even one with exceptional abilities, it would be difficult to handle such a large number of bizarre creatures simultaneously.
But after the ghost bride appeared, about ten seconds later, the entire church floor was covered with sticky ghost blood.
This ghostly blood carries a terrifying suppressive effect, capable of even suppressing the vengeful spirits in the mysterious resurrected world.
Even after leaving the mysterious world of resurgence, one can still suppress other abilities through the rules.
"It is indeed very dangerous here, and being in the inner world, there is no way to completely eliminate the source of the danger."
When they reappeared, Lu Ming was already holding the ghost bride's hand, standing among a group of eerie creatures.
He simply raised the bride's hand and gently waved it in the air, and all the strange creatures were drawn to it, freezing in place for a moment.
Immediately afterwards, these bizarre bodies began to fall deeper into the pool of blood, as if being sent to some terrifying place.
The strange phenomenon that had been causing trouble for the other challengers was easily swept away by Lu Ming with a single wave of his hand.
At this moment, some light returned to the church, and much of the darkness was dispelled. Because of the eerie disappearance, the church was now completely empty.
But this does not mean the crisis is over.
Because those strange things have only hidden themselves and cannot be seen; they have not completely disappeared.
Lu Ming's current predicament is similar to that he faced when dealing with the island nation's ghost temple incident in the mysterious resurrection world.
Being trapped in the temple and surrounded by the Ghost Well and Ghost Realm, now that I'm part of the game, there's no way I can break free.
This is the most basic logic, and it cannot be mindlessly crushed by the level of terror.
Lu Ming is currently in the inner world of Silent Hill, and those eerie things are the embodiment of certain evil thoughts in the inner world, which is also a part of the inner world.
As long as the inner world exists and Lu Ming remains within it, terrifying attacks will continue one after another, with little prospect of respite.
···········
"It is indeed a bit tricky, but the problem is not too big. Before long, that little fragment of the inner world will be able to spread completely within the outer world. Holding out for this period of time is not a big problem for me."
After pondering for a moment, Lu Ming quickly made up his mind.
He didn't care about the fate of the other challengers or the inhabitants of Silent Hill.
To put it bluntly, these residents and believers should have died long ago.
As a time traveler, Lu Ming naturally knew the whole truth behind Silent Hill.
The culprits behind Silent Hill's current state are the town's residents and believers.
Decades ago, Dalia, the madwoman who was first skinned alive by the Delta, gave birth to Alessa out of wedlock.
However, she refused to reveal the identity of the child's father.
The illegitimate child, Aresa, was therefore regarded as "unclean" by the religiously fanatical townspeople.
At school, Aresa was ostracized by everyone.
To protect herself, she hid in the bathroom, but was then assaulted by the perverted cleaner, Colin.
Dalia, Aresa's biological mother, not only had no sense of responsibility towards her daughter, but also, under the influence of the believers, handed Aresa over to a sorceress.
The sorceress and her followers held a grand sacrificial ceremony in the church, intending to burn Alessa alive at the stake.
Perhaps by divine intervention, during the burning at the stake, the church roof suddenly collapsed, the furnace overturned, and the flames spread, igniting the underground mine and ultimately causing a fire that destroyed the entire town of Silent Hill.
A sheriff happened to be passing by and arrived just in time to rescue Alessa from the fire.
But by this time, Aresa was completely disfigured, her entire body charred, with not a single patch of intact flesh.
She was tormented by pain every day until her heart was consumed by hatred.
Even the nurses in the hospital who peeked at her out of curiosity were also resented by Aresa.
Driven by intense hatred, she created a clone—the malevolent Alessa.
She created the surface world with her mind to take revenge on everyone she hated.
The transition from the surface world to the inner world can be interpreted as each emotional outburst transforming those whom Alessa hated into monsters within this world…
The classmate who bullied her became a gray child.
The cleaner who assaulted her had her limbs broken, was bound with wire, and could only walk using her genitals.
As for the other clone—the benevolent Alessa—she was sent to the outside world by the sheriff, given the alias Sharon, and adopted by the Ross couple.
···········
Everything in the surface world and the inner world can be easily destroyed by Alessa, after all, this is a world created by her will.
The only place that cannot be invaded is the church in Alessa's mental world.
Once the doors here are closed and the lights inside are on, the eerie things from the other world can no longer invade.
This is why, for decades, Alessa has had to allow the existence of sorceresses, followers, and other residents to continue.
···········
Not long after the first wave of attacks was thwarted, the second wave arrived.
However, with Lu Ming's intervention, the second attack was blocked without any doubt.
The anticipated next attack never came.
boom! ! !
With a muffled thud, the entire church was plunged into deathly darkness and utter silence.
The crisp sound of footsteps could be heard faintly in the distance.
Using his supernatural abilities, Lu Ming saw the figure of a little girl through the darkness.
The little girl in the blue dress was Alessa.
After the church doors were broken open, she finally achieved her wish and successfully infiltrated the place.
"Sharon!"
Upon seeing Alessa, her foster mother Rose couldn't help but shout with excitement.
What she didn't know was that the Alessa in front of her was dominated by the evil side of her personality and was not Rose's daughter at all.
Upon hearing the name Sharon, Aresa gave Rose a deep look, but neither attacked her nor said anything more.
Rose's arrival in Silent Hill was part of a scheme orchestrated by Alessa.
She wanted to use Rose to infiltrate the church.
This was originally part of the plan.
I just didn't expect to see challengers like Lu Ming and Chen Tiantian here.
"Who are you? You are extraordinary and do not belong here."
Aresa slightly raised her somewhat childish face.
Her features were fair, but they were stained with dirt, and her hair looked messy.
Lu Ming did not answer Aresa's question, but said expressionlessly, "Aren't you going to continue attacking me?"
“I am no match for you. There is no point in continuing. Besides, I have already achieved my goal. It won’t be long before everything is destroyed.” Lu Ming nodded, finally revealing an expression of appreciation.
"Since you think that way, I'll save myself the trouble of explaining... Let's just wait quietly for the rest of the time."
The two's simple conversation left onlookers completely bewildered, unable to comprehend its meaning.
The original residents of Silent Hill, as well as the believers in the church, breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Lu Ming had sent the strange creature away and that the mastermind, Alessa, had also appeared. The atmosphere seemed very peaceful.
"We...should be saved by now?"
"I won't have to live this life of hiding and running away anymore."
"Although I don't know where that young man came from, we still owe him a lot this time..."
Upon hearing this, someone immediately muttered under their breath, unable to resist retorting, "Thanks to him? In the past, when the Otherworld descended, it would dissipate on its own after a short while. But after these people came, they did something unbelievable, turning Silent Hill into this mess..."
Although the murmurs were not loud, they still reached Lu Ming's ears, but he did not pay any attention to them.
The two Central Chamber of Commerce challengers who were assigned to the same team as Lu Ming looked at the believers and residents with cold eyes, as if they were looking at a group of dead people.
Once the other world has fully invaded and their mission is complete, they will be able to leave this world after officially clearing the instance.
But these believers and residents must confront all the horrors of the inner world.
And this time, there will be no church to protect them.
···········
the other side.
What no one noticed was that the other two challengers from the Central Chamber of Commerce had different thoughts at this moment.
The two exchanged a glance and immediately understood each other's thoughts.
Previously, because Chen Tiantian had saved them from the brink of death, they were temporarily misled by this woman and made the wrong judgment.
Now, the truth has been revealed on the main god panel.
They also realized that it was impossible for the three challenger teams to coexist harmoniously.
By this time, Chen Tiantian, who had caused the trouble, was already dead.
All that's left is Lu Ming's team, responsible for revenge and offense, and their team defending the church.
"We must take advantage of their current euphoria and eliminate them."
"No matter how smart Lu Ming is, he would never have thought that the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind."
Just as the two challengers were thinking this and preparing to take action...
A semi-transparent main god panel appears simultaneously in front of all challengers entering the Silent Hill instance.
Small white characters appeared on the main god panel.
[Believers]
[Mission: Become a member of the church, help the members defend against the invasion from the other world, and survive for seven days.]
[The church has fallen, the underworld has invaded, the challenger team has failed their mission and has been eliminated.]
The moment they saw the words on the main god's panel, the pupils of the two challengers simultaneously contracted.
"Are you kidding me!"
"How is this possible? The instance isn't over yet, and we're still alive... How can the Main God Space judge that we've already failed?!"
What the two challengers didn't expect was that the mission to help the followers resist the invasion of the other world and survive for seven days was actually two separate missions.
Although neither of the two challengers is dead, the fact remains that the church has fallen and been invaded by the underworld.
They still wanted to argue something at this moment.
But nobody listened to them.
All challengers in the Main God Space must fully comply with the rules of the Main God Space when challenging dungeons.
The two challengers remained in a state of terror, watching helplessly as their bodies dissipated and were obliterated by the God, with no way to stop it.
They noticed Lu Ming's cold gaze out of the corner of their eyes.
Judging from Lu Ming's expression, he showed no surprise at what was happening before him, as if everything was within his expectations.
···········
I don't know how much time passed.
The sky finally darkened completely.
Not just the church, but the whole world seemed to have been corrupted by something eerie, turning into a gray haze.
Dim, silent, lifeless.
On the streets and alleys, you can often see gray children running around.
A nurse without eyes, a butcher with a triangular head, victims bound in various shapes with rusty barbed wire and hung on crosses...
Everything in Silent Hill seemed to have turned into a brutal hell on earth.
The time has come.
The little girl, Aresa, with a gloomy expression, chanted an unknown spell in a low voice.
He then snapped his fingers in mid-air.
A flickering flame shot from her fingertips, and soon, the small flame spread and turned into a raging fire.
The flames of revenge began in the church and quickly spread throughout the entire town.
Most residents didn't even have time to react before they felt a heart-wrenching pain.
Under Alessa's control, they did not die immediately, but were tormented by the flames. One by one, the painful and desperate souls were roasted in the scalding flames, and even the shape of their souls became distorted.
Finally, the little girl in blue, seeing this extremely tragic scene, relaxed her tightly furrowed brows and revealed a smile with a hint of relief.
She ignored the other two dumbfounded challengers and looked at Lu Ming, her lips moving slightly.
"Thanks······"
···········
Decades later, Silent Hill was once again engulfed in flames, and the instance came to an end.
Lu Ming, along with two other challengers from the Central Chamber of Commerce, officially cleared the horror movie instance [Silent Hill].
In the judgment of the Supreme God, Lu Ming once again made the full contribution.
Therefore, he will receive the most generous reward.
"Only one more instance remains to become the final seventh-tier challenger..."
"Moreover, the mysterious revival in the world is nearing its end. Everything is ready. As long as I borrow a wedding room from Zhang Dong, I can hold my final wedding with the ghost bride... By then, not only will the foreign royal organizations be shut down, but this supernatural era will also be completely ended and sealed off by me..."
A semi-transparent main god panel appeared in front of the three.
As the melodious bells rang, their figures gradually blurred and disappeared from the spot.
