The war between heaven and demon has begun, but let’s put this war on hold for the time being and let us turn our attention to earlier times.
Dante, Vergil, Nero and Silas, after being sent to the space channel, the first stop they came to was the heaven. Since they set off earlier, the ambush circle against the devil in the heaven had not yet been deployed, so After they entered the space passage, they did not encounter the angels immediately, which allowed the four half-demons to sneak in quietly.
The heaven in Bayonetta's world is also in the purgatory space. However, unlike the demon world in Devil May Cry, the heaven here does not cover the entire purgatory space. The number of angels is never as good as that of demons, so the required survival is The space requirements are also smaller, and the purgatory space here is also very huge, but except for the heaven that occupies a part, the rest of the purgatory space actually reflects the human world!
This is really a wonderful sight. In the entire purgatory space, close to the ground, there are streets and buildings from the human world. These scenes are like reflections in a mirror, completely reproducing the scenes of the human world, but different Yes, only the stationary objects in these scenes look solid, but the moving people and objects look illusory, like lights and shadows.
Dante and the others looked at this scene dumbfounded, feeling a little unable to recover.
"They don't seem to be aware of us..." Silas said. He was standing on a wide street. When a human figure walked towards him, it passed directly through his body. The illusive light and shadow shook for a moment, and the figure didn't notice anything at all and just walked forward on its own.
Dante and Nero also nodded. They also discovered this situation. This mapping of the human world is actually because the purgatory space they are in is on the same spatial coordinates as the human world, but not in the same space. among.
In fact, this is not only the case in Bayonetta's world, but also in the Devil May Cry world. The purgatory space and the main material world of mankind also overlap. If you randomly select a place in the purgatory space and enter the main world, the possible location is Somewhere in the human world, but in the Devil May Cry world, the mapping phenomenon caused by this overlap is already very rare. Due to the expansion of the demon world and the rampant activities of demons in the purgatory space, this mapping phenomenon has long been destroyed.
Virgil had been silent since arriving here and had been deep in thought. At this time, he suddenly pulled out the Yama knife and cut a vending machine in half on the roadside.
What he cut open was the scene reflected in the world of purgatory. However, in the real human world, the vending machine at the same location also had a neat cut and slowly collapsed. People on the street were affected by this. The sudden sight shocked them, and the figure looked a little panicked. Then when they realized that nothing happened, they became more curious and gathered around the cracked vending machine for a while, discussing the matter. Why did something suddenly break?
"The mapping phenomenon of a stationary object is perfect!" Virgil said, and then he slashed a knife at the human light and shadow. After he found that his knife passed through the light and shadow without causing any harm, he Continued: "But moving objects don't seem to be affected much."
Dante said to Vergil a little unhappy: "Hey, Vergil! What do you want to do? Don't forget that your Yama Sword can cut through space. What if you really killed that person just now?" What to do? I can understand your desire to study this kind of mapping, but your actions are too dangerous!"
"Humph!" Virgil snorted coldly, ignored Dante at all, and turned around to leave.
Dante has a headache. The old man has returned. Why does Virgil still have such a stinky personality?
"Forget it, forget it!" Nero said from the side: "Have you forgotten, the soul fragment of Sparta has been extracted by Osiris from the Yama Sword, and now the Yama Sword should have lost the cutting space. Virgil should have known this before he took that action. He didn’t mean any harm..."
"Yes, you have been going towards him since you knew he was your father!" Dante poked Nero's forehead with his finger and said angrily: "But why don't you go up and talk to him?"
"I...I don't know what to say..." Nero said a little frustrated.
"It's an awkward chat! Just go up and have a chat!" Silas gave advice from the side: "Can't we just talk about the weather or something? Just start from the beginning and then continue to say no?"
"Then... let me try?" Nero said uncertainly.
Dante gave him a kick from behind and kicked the hesitant Nero forward. Watching Nero walk slowly behind Virgil, lagging half a step behind and trying to talk, Dante couldn't help but sigh deeply.
Then he turned his head and stared at Silas.
"Why are you looking at me?" Silas finally couldn't help but spoke first.
"I always feel that things are developing and changing too fast..." Dante said in a daze: "I remember two weeks ago, we were still thinking about how to beat Yurizen, but in the blink of an eye, your The adoptive father came, and without saying anything, he also found my old man Sparta... Now it suddenly turned into a war between the heaven and the devil. This series of events, I feel like I can hardly keep up with the rhythm. …”
"It's normal, because you are old!" Silas picked his nostrils with his little finger and said casually: "You see you have a big beard. It's normal that you can't keep up with the rhythm."
If it were before, Dante might have had a quarrel with Silas, but now Dante sighed and said, "Yeah, I'm also thinking about it. After finishing this job, maybe I should retire." ”
Silas looked up at him and found that the expression on Dante's face was more serious than ever before, so he didn't know how to answer the question for a while.
The four people walked silently on the street. Dante and Silas looked at each other without saying a word. Vergil and Nero in front also looked at each other without saying a word. In fact, both Virgil and Nero had both at this time. There are many things they want to say to each other, but the problem is that neither of them knows how to speak, and they can't even start the awkward conversation Silas proposed...
After this strange atmosphere lasted for a while, Silas suddenly patted his forehead and said, "I said, what's the point of wandering aimlessly like this? Our adoptive father asked us to find the man named Rodin. Guy!"
"But, we don't know where that guy is..." Nero turned around and said, "Your adoptive father Osiris just gave him the name 'Hell's Gate Bar', but he doesn't know where the bar is. How do we find this?"
"Yes!" Dante also nodded: "What if we are not in this city?"
"I think we should enter the human world to inquire!" Virgil held his hands and finally found a topic to participate in. He said expressionlessly: "If we find that the bar is not in this city by then, we can also take human transportation. As things go, the mapped scene in this purgatory space cannot help us move."
"Yes, not bad!" Dante agreed: "And after entering the human world, maybe we can find some intelligence dealers to obtain information. I am relatively familiar with this business."
"Without further ado, let's go!" Silas said: "Find a weak point in the space and we can pass through."
That's what he said, but in the subsequent process of looking for weak points in the space, everyone found that it was really difficult to find them.
The reason is simple. The purgatory space in this world is far more solid than the Devil May Cry world!
In the purgatory space of the Devil May Cry world, due to the existence of the demon world, a large number of demons are always looking for opportunities to go to the human world. The original intention of these demons is to hunt human souls, but because they have too many such behaviors, they continue to break through. The purgatory space barrier has caused the purgatory space in Devil May Cry world to be riddled with holes and has long been vulnerable, so it is easy to find weak points.
But the world of Bayonetta is different. The purgatory space barrier here has not been damaged in any way...
The four of them transformed into demonic forms, spread their wings and searched the city for a long time, but could not find a weak point to break through. With such a delay, almost a day passed.
After regrouping and reporting the situation, the four of them were a little discouraged.
"It would be great if the ability of the Yama Sword is still there, just cut through the space and go through!" Dante said angrily: "Virgil, how about you split a part of your soul and inject it into the Yama Sword? "
"Idiot!" Virgil gave him a roll of his eyes and said, "Don't you know that different soul fragments will have different effects on the effectiveness of the weapon? Dad's soul fragment can give the Yama Demon Sword the effectiveness of cutting through space, but My soul fragments must also work like this..."
"Then what should we do?" Dante spread his hands and said, "Can we just split up and try our luck in other cities?"
Everyone was silent. They all knew that there was not much time left for them. After the soul of Mundus was taken away by Badr, although they didn't know what they were going to do, every time they delayed for a while, the other party's The success rate of planning increases by one point.
Just when the four of them were considering whether to gather everyone's strength to forcibly break the purgatory space barrier here, suddenly, a crisp sound sounded from behind.
This voice sounds a lot like... high heels! ?
Everyone couldn't help but be confused. In fact, although the scenery of the human world is mapped in this purgatory space, the sounds of the human world cannot actually be transmitted here. Most of the time, except for the voices of the four people, there is no sound here. It was very quiet, and now the sound of high heels suddenly appeared, which naturally sounded very abrupt.
Along with the sound of high heels, a black figure appeared from the corner of the street.
When he saw the figure, Dante couldn't help but straighten up, brushed his white hair, and whistled: "Oh yeah, look what I found, she's a big beauty!? "
