125: Section 125

: "Huh?!!!"

: "Don't make that face, I'm really not lying to you."

: "No wait, are you serious? Traveling to another world and even coming with a built-in identity... Are you the freaking favorite son of the Heavens?"

: "Not really, it's not that exaggerated."

: "You... forget it, I'll just ask, is this identity reliable? Also, what's the specific mechanism?"

: "The identity is fine. Right now, I'm the owner and lead detective of this world's DelMayCry Agency. I'm hired by those wealthy folks to settle those weird and spooky supernatural incidents... As for the mechanism, it should be something like fabricating past memories, twisting perception... probably."

: "Probably?"

: "Or... maybe?"

: "Damn! You're really something... fine, last question, are there many supernatural incidents in this world?"

: "There are indeed quite a few, which is why I said this world isn't ordinary in its complexity."

: "I see... then I suggest taking this commission! It will help you better integrate into this world."

: "Hehe, I was thinking the same thing."

Half a second later, Su Ming looked at Rose:

"Don't worry, ma'am. On behalf of the DelMayCry Agency, I accept your commission!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Ming turned his head to look into the depths of the mist.

Pipi Xi clicked her tongue twice, said 'so ugly' with disgust, and then stood leisurely to the side to enjoy the show.

At the same moment.

The car radio in the SUV suddenly began to crackle and hiss.

The noise sounded exactly like fingernails scratching a blackboard, or like the sound of dry bones rubbing against each other. Combined with the thickening mist around them, the eerie atmosphere grew even heavier!

"That... that is..."

Rose's pupils dilated in shock, and she pointed tremblingly at a staggering figure swaying toward them from deep within the mist.

Indeed.

Deep in the mist.

A blurred outline was stumbling closer!

As the figure drew near, it could be seen that its entire body was wrapped in a waxy, oily membrane. As for its arms... perhaps they were also encased within that membrane, or perhaps the thing simply had no hands at all!

What made it even more physically unsettling was that this creature had a pair of long, sexy legs.

A hideous scar stretched all the way from the top of its head down to its lower abdomen!

"Armless Man? Lying Figure?"

Forget it...

That's not important!

He threw a punch through the air with violent force.

Splat! —

Flesh flew and bone fragments scattered everywhere!

The monster that had just appeared didn't even have time to show its power before its upper body was blown apart.

Rose covered her mouth and nose, silently calling upon the name of God.

It took her a good while to calm down before she stumbled forward and asked with a pale face:

"Mr. Omar... what, what exactly was that..."

Pipi Xi strolled over:

"Real flesh, a twisted soul, a fallen Mind... Hah! The strength is just pathetic, it can't even compare to a Lesser Demon."

That was true.

Morgana's Lesser Demons were at least Sub-Super Soldiers; they were definitely not something a low-level mob like the Armless Man could be compared to.

However...

"The Armless Man is indeed not strong, but its symbolic meaning is extraordinary... It is the fundamental color of fear in Silent Hill, a manifestation of human desire!"

Just then, Su Ming and Pipi Xi both felt something and turned their heads simultaneously to look toward the dense forest by the roadside.

In the bushes shrouded by mist.

A girl wearing a dirty blue dress was staring fixedly at Su Ming and Pipi Xi with hollow, lifeless eyes.

"Alessa?"

"Yeah, it's definitely her."

"It looks like she's targeted us."

"We expected as much, didn't we?"

"True."

Rose was completely bewildered. She followed their gaze, but in her 20/30 vision, there was clearly nothing in that direction!

But...

With them acting so serious.

Could there really be something there?

Eek! —

Scary!

However.

What Rose didn't know was that her adopted daughter had never been simple.

Many years ago.

Alessa was bullied relentlessly for being an illegitimate child. It coincided with the rise of the Silent Hill cult, and the malice of the fanatics was poured onto this little girl without reservation.

She was seen as a witch who blasphemed God.

And under the instigation of the Bishop, she was sent to the stake by the believers!

As expected, the judgment ritual ended in failure, but it left Alessa with severe burns, agonizingly clinging to life in a hospital bed.

Pain bred hatred, which attracted a demon from hell, and ultimately merged with Alessa.

Chapter 143: Silent Hill and Dark Alessa

And so.

Alessa turned to the darkness.

With the power of darkness, Alessa fabricated another Silent Hill and made it overlap with the reality of Silent Hill.

Under normal circumstances, the Fog World and the Inner World are independent and do not intersect.

That also meant that the Inner World of Silent Hill had, in fact, become an absolute prison from which escape was impossible!

Since then.

All who are guilty shall find no release.

They will sink forever into the Inner World of Silent Hill!

What's more interesting is.

Before completely falling into darkness, Alessa took the initiative to split off her only remaining good thoughts. These good thoughts were turned into a baby girl by Alessa and sent to an orphanage in the real world.

Eventually.

The baby girl was adopted by the Da Silva couple and named—Sharon!

Yes.

The daughter Rose was looking for.

Was the manifestation of the good thoughts Alessa had split off.

"W-What are you looking at?"

Rose was a bit panicked. Perhaps because Su Ming and Pipi Xi were by her side, she was nowhere near as strong as she was in the original story.

Su Ming shrugged:

"Nothing much, just something in the mist watching us from the shadows."

"Ah! Then what should we do?"

Rose panicked even more. Su Ming didn't look back as he walked toward the town.

Pipi Xi followed with a light laugh.

In the air, only Su Ming's less-than-comforting consolation drifted back.

"Calm down, Ms. Rose. Think about those brain-dead teammates in horror movies. I sincerely hope you can view everything rationally and calmly... By the way, as long as you don't do anything stupid, I can guarantee your safety."

In the original plot.

In order to find her daughter Sharon, Rose faced constant peril.

Finding keys, solving puzzles.

Following the plot while being hunted by various monsters.

But now?

Following these two 'golden thighs,' he couldn't understand why this woman had so much fear.

The mist in the town grew thicker.

The streets were desolate, and the buildings were mottled and dilapidated.

Glass windows were shattered, and abandoned cars were scattered randomly along the roadsides.

The sky was oppressive and dark, with what looked like snow falling in flurries, however... that wasn't real snow, but gray ash!

Looking at the town submerged in thick fog, Rose asked in confusion:

"What happened here?"

Su Ming said nonchalantly:

"A fire in a coal mine decades ago. It's been burning ever since, constantly producing large amounts of toxic gas. That's why people abandoned this place."

As if she had discovered something, Pipi Xi spoke up to warn them:

"Be careful, the rhythmic fluctuations in the surrounding space are intensifying. Something is about to emerge!"

Understood!

That must be the deepest part of Silent Hill, the Inner World!

Alessa's dark power was indeed very strong. Relying on her power alone, she had artificially split the Silent Hill space into a three-layered structure.

The real Silent Hill in the surface world.

The Silent Hill shrouded in mist in the Fog World.

And... after the air raid siren sounds, the Silent Hill located in the deepest part of the Inner World!

Normally, the deepest Inner World only intersects with the Fog World, so occasionally monsters come out to wander in this town.

Case in point.

A monster had just spawned in an alley not far away.

Such a minor mob was not even worth Su Ming's attention.

With a thought, an armed satellite in high orbit entered an attack stance. The moment a lethal laser formed, it abruptly vanished.

In Silent Hill, a red light flashed in the void in front of Su Ming, and the laser fired out of thin air.

With a bang.

A Human Centipede crawling along the building wall was instantly blown into countless fragments by the laser.
