Ramon's original intention was probably to trap the two in the audience hall and then find a way to capture Ashley.
According to the normal game flow, the player needs to make a large circle, reach the second floor of the audience hall, put down a folded ladder next to the corridor, and then the road to other places can be opened. In the meantime, an elite monster needs to be solved. and many miscellaneous soldiers.
But for Li Ang, it doesn't have to be that troublesome at all.
He walked to the second floor corridor on the side of the audience hall, jumped hard, grabbed the edge of the stepladder, climbed to the second floor, unfolded the ladder, and let Ashley come up.
A process that takes players 30 minutes to complete took him less than 30 seconds.
The next step was to walk along the corridor to find the location of the atrium. As he walked, Li Ang asked Ashley about the situation of the Salazar family.
For example, in order to eliminate parasites, Salazar's ancestors overthrew the villain Sadler's family and exiled them all. As a result, hundreds of years later, their only descendant Ramon became Sadler's servant.
For another example, Ramon used up the wealth and influence accumulated by his family for hundreds of years just to help Sadler improve the parasite to reduce the fatality rate of infection so as to create more lackeys loyal to Sadler.
When Li Ang was talking about rising, the brass horn in the niche on the wall actually sounded the indistinguishable voice of Ramon:
"You really surprised me, reptile! But this is just a struggle before death. Are you ready to hand over the girl?"
"What, don't agree? I don't think you would agree either."
"In that case, I took it upon myself to prepare some entertainment for you."
"The theme of the entertainment is: the heroic knight protects the beautiful princess!"
"You untouchables, don't you just like this kind of boring show? Hahahahaha!"
Ashley, who had enjoyed role-playing not long ago, now showed extreme disgust: "Uh... won't he feel embarrassed?"
Li Ang did not answer, but smiled and talked about another thing: "Do you know who is called the shame of the Salazar family?"
The next second, the two of them answered in unison:
"Ramon!" X2
The happy laughter of the two people immediately echoed in the empty corridor.
From then on, no sound came from the brass trumpet.
The cheerful two people continued on the road, passing by an indoor fountain square. However, what spewed out of four pools of the same size was not water, but a thick black liquid.
It's a pity that it's not oil, otherwise Ashley wouldn't need Leon to save her.
In addition, there were groups of soldiers holding shields around the square, but he was too lazy to take action. Under the premise of ensuring safety, he left them to Ashley, who was becoming more and more courageous.
The president's daughter, who finally got over her addiction, was still very excited afterwards and kept chattering along the way.
But when the two of them crossed the square and came to the courtyard outside, she suddenly stopped coughing.
Li Ang asked with concern: "Are you okay? Just hold on for a while, we will be there soon."
"It's okay, I..." Ashley didn't originally intend to worry him, but things didn't work out as she wanted. Then she felt a strong sense of dizziness, prompting her to fall to the ground.
Fortunately, Li Ang reacted quickly and supported her before landing.
However, Ashley did not lose consciousness. Instead, she was more awake than usual. She lay in Li Ang's arms sadly and said: "Instead of worrying about her, worry about yourself."
"Stupid lamb!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she used the method she used to deal with the miscellaneous soldiers just now on Li Ang.
Several gunshots were fired in succession, and blood immediately oozed from Li Ang's abdomen, and several blood flowers exploded behind his back.
In the early stages of parasitic infection, symptoms include mild abdominal pain and coughing up blood, followed by dizziness and even loss of consciousness.
During this period, the host's body will be controlled by the infected person with higher authority and become a puppet.
Ashley is in this state now. From the familiar adjectives, it is easy to see that it is the villain Sadler who controls her.
In fact, there was such a paragraph in the original plot, but Leon, a cloud player, forgot about it, and because of his trust in Ashley, he accidentally caught it.
He had not been injured so many times before, but this was the first time he saw blood caused by one of his own.
"Tough luck."
As Li Ang spoke, the wound on his abdomen had begun to heal.
He completely recovered after only a few seconds. If it weren't for the damage to his clothes and the blood stains still there, it would be completely impossible to tell that he had just been injured.
Seeing this situation, Ashley, who was under Sadler's control, immediately showed an expression of astonishment, hurriedly pushed away Leon, and backed away repeatedly.
"You...what on earth are you!"
Then he fired a few more tentative shots, but Li Ang deliberately did not dodge and allowed the bullets to penetrate his body.
"Can't you see, we are the same."
Li Ang smiled kindly, with four sharp fangs slowly protruding from his lips.
In the end, Sadler, who was trying to make ends meet, simply controlled Ashley to point the gun at herself: "Restrain, my friend, the conflict between us is actually not that big."
"You don't want to lose her either, right?"
But Li Ang didn't care: "You can try shooting and see if the gun is faster or I am faster!"
He was calm and composed, but Sadler didn't dare to gamble. Ashley would still be of great use in the future, and it was not worthwhile whether he won or lost.
So Sadler took the initiative to give in and gave back control of his body.
But before leaving, he still set up obstacles between the two of them.
With a clang, the heavy iron fence came down, blocking Li Ang and Ashley.
When she was controlled, Ashley knew what she had done, so after she woke up, she looked at Leon with extremely complicated eyes.
Guilt, regret, fear, all kinds of emotions mixed together, making her feel mixed.
"I'm sorry, I..." As soon as he started speaking, tears couldn't stop flowing down.
Feeling unable to face it, Ashley chose to escape, turned around and disappeared into the darkness.
Li Ang, who never planned to blame her, crossed the iron fence and tried to catch up, but she could no longer be found.
"I just got shot a few times. Do I look that stingy?"
He couldn't figure out why they had to imitate that petty old aunt when they could just talk to each other.
Before I could say Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived, as a fragrant wind drifted by, Aunt Wang's provocative and sultry voice sounded.
"Why did your little lover run away? Then I came at the wrong time."
"You know it's not the right time and you still come?" Li Ang turned around and looked at Ada, who was dressed in red: "Auntie, don't talk about me yet. Have you found your old lover?"
Some players once speculated based on the timeline that Aunt Wang should have been born in 1974, and now it is 2004. She is exactly 30 years old this year, so calling her aunt is not too much.
But older women are particularly concerned about their age.
When he shouted like this, the corners of Ada's mouth twitched slightly, and her eyes became sharper.
"Ha, it's really interesting. An old monster who has lived for who knows how many years is still here pretending to be young. Is this how you deceive a little girl?"
"Since you like being a junior so much, why don't you call Mom to listen?"

Game trivia: The story of "Resident Evil 8" takes place in Romania, and the prototype of Dracula, the ancestor of vampires [Grand Duke Vlad III of Impaler], is a Romanian.
From this, it makes sense that the protagonist originally has vampire blood, right?
