Chapter 65: .Alessa

At the same time, Qiao Can suddenly remembered something.
She also didn't care if she would also plunge into the water, so she rushed forward desperately.
Jian Mingjia: "Hey!"
Her shout didn't make much difference, and Qiao Can did it quite reluctantly.
The machete dragged by the triangular head loosened from his hand when he fell, and half of it remained on the ground, just sliding down due to the weight of the other half.
Qiao Can slipped his hand several times, and finally rushed to grasp the back of the knife at the last second, and his whole body was brought down by inertia.
At any rate it was caught.
The long machete was still inches away from the surface of the water. Didn't really fall in, Qiao Can's hanging heart also fell back to its true place. It's just that the heavy machete made her a little strenuous to keep her balance, not to mention pulling it up with her own strength.
"Come on," she gritted her teeth, "hands up..."
Her sudden behavior scared Jian Mingjia abruptly. She recovered her senses at this moment and rushed to her while guarding that the nearby iron net was also loosening.
Grabbing one side with Lin You, the two worked together, and only a severed hand helped to stabilize, finally dragged Qiao Can and the metal block she was holding back to the iron net.
The machete hit the ground with a "clang", and the group wiped their sweat.
"It's too risky," Jian Mingjia said, panting. "You must go in by yourself--"
The triangle head that was so dark by them is still sinking somewhere.
"so far so good."
I almost fell into the water, but I didn't see much fear on his face. Instead, I was very excited because I bought such a large piece. "It's worth it."
The water under the barbed wire hasn't made any waves yet, and I don't know what the triangle head would feel if it knew that its long knife had fallen into their hands.
The weight of this machete is not clear. Wearing a big metal helmet, you won't feel that the top-heavy triangle head can naturally swing freely, but it's a bit harder to fall on Qiao Can.
She was thinking about stuffing it into her backpack, but suddenly stopped because of a faintly unknown noise.
"I heard it wrong...?"
Qiao Can was uncertain, she said suspiciously, "Hearing hallucinations?"
"Do not."
Lin You's eyelids twitched.
"I heard it too."
The sneaky rustling sound, like something crawling, the closer it gets, the closer it gets.
Jian Mingjia, who held the torch, resisted the tingling of her back and illuminated it with light.
Everything in the inner world is mostly severely damaged remains, and a beetle that is almost the size of a fist crawled out of the hole in the cracked wall.
It just started.
Qiao Can: "...Oh my god."
She stared at the brown-yellow wall that was about to be stained black by the insects, and her scalp was about to explode. Following the leading beetle, the "waves" that rushed out were still some distance away from them, but they were really getting closer.
It's for them.
Even if you haven't watched a movie, you can fully imagine the way they climb up. People will always burst out of power that they did not expect at a critical moment. Qiao Can's mind was buzzing, and he even lifted the long knife that he could not easily handle.
"Get down!" she screamed.
Lin You fell to the ground for the first time. She only felt that there was something above her head that was so hot that the air was burning a lot. She covered her ears intuitively.
She is right.
This made her seem to be back in front of the cave of the last instance, the heat wave rushed to her face, and her ears could be stunned by the loud noise between her palms.
The severed hand that was almost blown away clasped her shoulder tightly, drifting along with her.
Something exploded over there.
The flame it brought up crackled, completely blocking the path of the beetles.
"...Yes..." Concise Jia's voice was vaguely heard in the flames, "What..."
"I want to use that knife... a rocket launcher!"
Qiao Can raised her voice, but it was also covered up intermittently, "But it didn't have time to... I look like it's going to explode... just throw it out!"
Lin You: "..."
Concise Jia: "..."
The bombing is okay.
But it actually works.
Everything that could be burned was burned decades ago, and the fire gradually extinguished, revealing a scorched corpse. Even so, the power of the explosion was not small. Fortunately, they had escaped the nearest section of barbed wire early - several pieces were shaken off the screws and fell into the pool.
however--
In the inner world, there is really no second to relax. Lin You thought when hearing the pattering sound from below.
She lowered her head.
Through the barbed wire fence, a green-stranded arm burst out of the water and grabbed the guardrail beside the wall below.
The metal polygonal helmet pointed, and the triangular head grabbed the railing and climbed up again and again. The remaining water drops rolled down the edge, and the long cloth surrounding his lower body was also saturated with water, but this did not hinder his movements at all.
Only halfway through the climb, his helmet seemed to be biased with feeling.
Along the direction he was facing, the three of them looked at a pile of charred insect corpses in silence, where there were several pieces of broken copper and iron.
...... My own good machete is so scourge that the triangle head is about to kill.
Yo Yo, hurry up!
Lin You was the first to get up. She was still aware of the strength gap between the two sides-the flesh of the triangle head was almost invincible, and they faced each other without any preparation. This deal was definitely not a good deal!
Maybe you can try it with SCP-096, but the problem is that people can't see their faces in masks!
Just a few steps away, Lin You was startled.
The vision lights up.
It wasn't the sudden light of the explosion, nor the white light of the flashlight, the corridor was little by little restored to the dimness that the daylight that had been under the sky and the ashes once passed through the window glass.
Large blocks of the wall rose up and closed, and the barbed wire under the feet returned to the original stone bricks.
They returned to the watch world.
The two people behind him sighed in relief and sat down on the ground. Lin Yu raised his eyes again, and in the corners of the light, he saw a figure flashing past in the distance.
"……stop!"
She stamped her foot on the spot and ran after her. Seeing that the situation was wrong, Jian Mingjia and Qiao Can hurriedly got up to follow, but when Lin You rushed to the stairway, looking left and right, they couldn't see any trace.
"Alessa?" She tentatively asked, "Is that you, Alessa?"
"I know what you want to lead us to discover."
Lin You raised her voice.
"But there is no need for this. I know who is lurking in this town, your experience, and the truth about the fire." She paused, "I can help you."
According to the background in the movie, the residents here are the descendants of witch hunters.
To this day, they are still acting secretly with the existence of the church, holding cult ceremonies that they think can get rid of uncleanness, to prevent the apocalypse from coming to the end of the world.
In this closed and conservative town, Alesha, an illegitimate child, is bullied only because no one knows who her father is. She was ostracized and isolated at school. She was molested by a cleaner after she hid in the toilet. Her mother could not protect her.
The leader of the church, her mother's sister, couldn't figure out who her biological father was after repeated interrogations, and then regarded her as an "unclean" existence, and took her followers forcibly and arrested Alesha.
By the time her mother sought help from the police from outside the town, it was too late.
The ritual of burning the witch had an accident, the altar was overturned, and the flames spread to the entire town, which was the source of the fire that burned the remains of Silent Hill.
The police failed to save Alesha, and she didn't stay in the hospital for long after she was tied to the torture and burnt to charcoal, but during this time, her hatred took shape.
Above the stairs, a little girl's face appeared.
"I'm not'Alessa'," she said.
Yes, she knows—Lin You thinks, but before the person admits it, it's better to assume that she doesn't know.
"I have many names." The little girl in a purple dress held on to the handrails of the stairs and walked downstairs step by step. "Of course, I am her dark side now."
"Alesha decided to cooperate with me in the hospital bed to avenge those who hurt her. Seeing that after so many years of business, it is about to usher in the harvest time, and there is a problem before us—"
"They are hiding in the church, and I can't break in because of me."
As the "clone
body" of the dark side, she has a cute face, and she wants to be the same as Alesha before the burn, except that the dark blood and black lips dripping from her forehead make her look gloomy.
"We had other plans," she said, "but at this time, you—you appeared."
"I have been watching you, until now, you have not reached my standard. But you said'I can help you'..."
The little girl looked her up and down with interest.
"Yes, I can feel some kind of powerful force in you-where did they go?"
Can actually feel it.
But it's not surprising...096 but chasing the slit girl has been following her for so long.
Lin You shrugged.
"In fact, there is no ‘where to go’, they are all still here."
She rolled her eyes, "Want to see them? Or even further, maybe you can have afternoon tea or something together."
The words were implied as if they were explicit, and it would be strange if "Alessa" didn't understand. Lin You also didn't point out that she would agree or what, she didn't want to get the other party to pick up the corners of her mouth slyly.
"Maybe I will think about it."
The little girl said, "But before that, what is more important is Alesha's wish."
"They believe that they can call their gods in this way..." She stepped back step by step, "Alesha and I hope to end this. I am curious, if it were you, what choice would you make."
When she uttered the last word, the little girl's figure disappeared.
Qiao Can was originally only standing behind, listening to the conversation between the two of them was so loud that he didn't dare to speak out. Only then did he speak admiringly.
"Anyway," she asked, "you don't have to stay in this school now, right?"
I personally blasted the triangular-headed machete like that, and stayed a little panic.
"I've seen the deity," Lin You said, "Of course it's not necessary."
The rest is... just as the little girl who claimed to be the dark side of Alyssa said, how do they choose.
"I want to talk even more after seeing it with my own eyes."
Jian Mingjia, who was silent for a long while, finally spoke: "Purification? Trial? Who are they stupid enough to think they are?"
Lin You: "What do you expect the brainwashed cultists to understand."
"I have been trapped here for so long by the consequences of my own evil deeds," Qiao Can said, "Could it be that they still think that way?"
"Not only did I think so, but it got worse. A claustrophobic environment like this would solidify their opinions—see, it really was because she was a demon that brought us to this end."
Qiao Can "tsk", and Jian Mingjia continued.
"As long as they have a slight relationship with the witch in their eyes, it is going to be burned, such as the policewoman—"
She had a meal.
"Don't say it, anyway, at this point in time, it will happen in the future."
Qiao Can: "..."
Qiao Can: "No, no, please say it quickly."
Otherwise, she will be suffocated.
"She was set up and burned to death because she was covering the heroine to find her daughter." Jian Mingjia said.
"These guys..." Qiao Can said in disbelief.
After returning to the watch world, they saw the monster knocked down by Qiao Can halfway through the road, carefully bypassing the pools of venom that it splashed. At this moment, he has left the teaching building and returned to the empty street.
The ashes floating in the sky still have no tendency to stop.
Some of the shops on the street were still closed, and some were turned upside down-the believers had obviously visited here.
Lin You noticed one of them.
In this place, survival is a problem, and believers are obviously not in the mood to pay attention to electronic gadgets. Don't talk about them, Qiao Can was at a loss when she walked in, but Jian Mingjia guessed her intentions—she had heard the other side more or less.
"Maybe..."
With a "click", Lin You held the Polaroid taken from the counter with one hand, and took the photo that she took casually. "Fortunately, the quality of this camera is not bad after putting it on for so long?"
"Come on," she turned her head, "close your eyes."

Two hours later.
It may be because of the reasons that have already made an appointment with Alessa, this period of time can be said to be peaceful in a sense.
Except that Qiao Can melted the bullet with the iron rod he found, and knocked down a few monsters on the road, at least they did not enter the inner world again.
Following the map, Lin You and others successfully found the church in the southeast corner of the town.
This church can be said to be the most representative building in the entire town-a tall spire, on which a cross with a strange shape was erected after the transformation.
"Do you really want to go in alone?"
When passing through the open space, Qiao Can asked: "Will this..."
"It's safe." Compared with her, Jian Mingjia is not used to it and has to get used to it. "Don't worry, it's not only hers who can handle it. We just need to be ready to respond."
When the darkness of the inner world didn't fall, most of the followers were scattered around the town on patrol-they were careful to avoid a lot. The church that served as their refuge is now empty.
Not to mention Jian Mingjia and the others who were hiding not far away. When Lin You opened the door while holding the sealed envelope, only the woman standing in the front and a few bodyguards surrounded her.
"If someone's name is not recorded in the book of life..."
The prayers of women echoed in the hall, "They were thrown into the lake of fire."
Hearing the sound behind her, she turned her head.
"This is a sacred refuge," the woman said when she saw Linyou's face, "I haven't seen you, stranger."
Just from the posture of her and those people, she can guess that she is the leader here, that is, the one who executed Alessa...
"This is Chris Bella."
She said: "Responsible for managing this church, how did you get here?"
"...I don't know either," Lin You's eyes were erratic, "I woke up and found myself here."
"I finally found this place along the way. In the middle... I found something, can I ask?"
Chris Bella looked at her up and down.
"Come with me," she said.
Lin You followed Chris Bella and walked up to the second floor of the church. She noticed that the other bodyguards were all following her.
Chris Bella asked: "What do you want to ask?"
"There is only one thing," Lin You gave up to cover up, she said simply and neatly, "Alessa."
Her words seemed to touch a forbidden word, and Chris Bella's expression moved slightly.
"We never mention this name."
She said: "The devil is the sin left by my sister... You seem to know a lot of things you shouldn't know."
"I just'investigated' something..." Lin You casually glanced at the envelope she had been holding tightly in her arms.
Chris Bella noticed her movement, "What's that?"
"It's nothing."
Lin You hid the envelope, "Why do you want to do this?"
"To stop'Apocalypse.'" Chris Bella said.
"But Alysha is innocent."
As soon as he said this, Lin You knew what he was going to face. Sure enough, Chris Bella's eyes suddenly sharpened. She continued, "Is it justice to refer to your sister's daughter as a devil? You are just--"
"Miko!"
Chris Bella, who suddenly understood, interrupted her with an anger.
"I was skeptical at the beginning, but I didn't expect you to be deceived by the devil, and what you did was shaking our faith." Before Lin You went on, she said in a painful tone, and then shouted, " Catch her! Now!"
The tall man behind him hesitated for a moment, "But..."
"Do as I say!"
Her prestige among believers is real. As soon as these words came out, the men did not hesitate. Lin You only felt that the opponent's strong force twisted her wrist. She did not have the upper hand in physical strength, and she was forced to hold her shoulder after struggling for a few times.
"The evidence of her collusion with the devil is in that envelope!" Chris Bella called, "Give it to me!"
"Let go! There is nothing in it—"
Just halfway through Lin You's words, her eagerness to defend fell in Chris Bella's eyes, which confirmed the credibility of her ideas. She sneered, and took the envelope that the followers had snatched from her.
"It is faith that prevents the darkness of from spreading. This is the only truth."
She said coldly.
"The truth is extremely clear in front of the discerning person."
"You will face the same ending as the demon," Chris Bella opened the envelope and announced, "You deserve it."
The moment she saw what was inside, her face changed.
"What is this—"
"Actually."
The person who was still flustered just interrupted her unhurriedly, "I think my acting skills are pretty bad."
She came here just to make sure that Chris Bella would read the envelope.
"But fortunately you are busy giving me the next trial--let me think, were you so anxious to Alessa back then?"
Lin You closed her eyes long ago, leaving Chris Bella's face blue and white.
"You know, it's still very difficult to take a picture without looking at the camera," she said, "I don't know if it was taken. If it is not taken, I will use Option B. But listening to your tone, it should be successful. Up?"
Then she has to prepare for compensation quickly, wondering if a dozen paper bags will be enough.
If you don’t have enough, I’ll have a few dozen more, the kind with patterns.
Chris Bella couldn't understand what she was talking about, but had a strong bad feeling. She opened her mouth, and wanted to tell them to put the witch on the fire now, but when she looked up, she saw them staring behind her with tears.
She squeezed the envelope tightly.
There is only one photo in it, and there is a pale and thin face on the corner of the screen.
With the sound of the paper bag crashing, the shadow enveloped her body, and Chris Bella turned her head subconsciously.
The next second, she and SCP-096 screamed screamingly at the same time.
