Chapter 62: Turning a corner
Looking at Ada, the only one who didn't fall into the illusion, Ethan deliberately left this woman for a reason.
"I think with your identity and habits, you should be able to quickly determine where we are now, and where your nearest safe house is, right?"
He had promised Annette that of course he would do what he said, but before Ambrera was completely destroyed, the group of lunatics could last for a while, and he didn't want to be approached by those guys at this time.
His time was spent cultivating, he didn't have time to hang out with a bunch of maniacs, and the federal agents were constantly looking for them, and Ethan believed that Leon would be a target for those officials after he reported the incident.
In this case, he needs someone with a lot of relevant experience to be his 'guide', and it just so happens that there is a suitable person in this group, how can Ethan not make good use of it?
"You already know my identity?"
Previously, Ida introduced herself as coming to Raccoon Town to investigate her missing boyfriend, and Annette also indirectly proved that Ada's boyfriend was a researcher named John from Ambrera.
In addition, Ada has always been very low-key, and she doesn't even participate in battles, so she is no different from an ordinary passerby: she just looks a little pretty.
"As I said, I know a lot of things. Ethan emphasized from the beginning that he knew a lot of things, but no one took it seriously, and even Ida didn't expect Ethan to really know a lot of things.
Ida didn't know that Ethan didn't know much about her, because Ida's background had always been vague in the original setting.
At first, she seems to be Wesker's subordinate, but various performances show that she has no loyalty to Wesker, even if she completes Wesker's assignments again and again.
The plot in the follow-up work also shows that Ada worked for Drake Simmons as a national security adviser for quite some time, which seems to imply that Ada is actually a multiple agent who mixed up with Wesker, although there may also be a sequence, because it has not been explained whether the timing of the two jobs coincides.
When this part of the information broke out, Ida had also left Drake Simmons, and Ida seemed to be on a 'vacation' at that time, and who she worked for after that was not officially specified, and Ethan certainly couldn't know. Based on the available information, Ethan speculates that Ada may have been a freelance agent and not simply working for a certain force.
Judging by the timeline, Ada is preparing to infiltrate Wesker, and she wants to steal the G-Virus in order to gain Wesker's trust and prove her strength at the same time - it is unclear if she already works for Drake Simmons.
There is no fixed force, naturally there is no loyalty or anything like that, and the current situation is very simple for Ada, she can't beat Ethan, and it seems that she has no chance to escape.
This empty desert has no cover, how can she run away in the face of a mage with strange methods?
"You deliberately waited until this time to reveal my identity. ”
"You're a very good spy, and if it weren't for this environment, I'm afraid it would be difficult for you to agree to my request. ”
"Thank you for the compliment. ”
Ada, who was praised, was not happy at all, even though she still maintained a smile on her face, but in her heart she only felt that this work was simply terrible, and it could be called the biggest failure she had suffered since becoming a spy.
However, considering that he was a mysterious magician in front of him, and he didn't know about his abilities and didn't have the means to deal with it, it didn't seem completely unacceptable.
Thinking about it, her mood seemed to improve, and Ada finally pointed in a direction, motioning for Ethan to go in that direction.
"You just said that you triggered Leon's illusion, so you have already done something to us?"
She wanted to ask this question just now, which is why she was so eager to show Ethan the way, she realized that she might have been manipulated by this mage, and she had no choice at all.
"Having been together in Raccoon Town for so long, there's plenty of time for me to get this spell ready. ”
Ethan can send everyone into the illusion with a snap of his fingers, not that his illusion is strong enough to be activated at will, there are several necessary conditions for it to be so easy.
First of all, Ethan has been with these people for quite a long time, and he has been arranging illusions along the way, so it can be said that he has enough time to complete this complex spell, and the last snap of his fingers is just a flip of a switch that has already been installed, even if he doesn't snap his fingers, a simple thought is okay.
Secondly, although everyone has no pressure to die, they have been running around in Raccoon Town for so long, and their physical and mental state are at a low point, and their resistance to mental attacks such as illusion has become much worse.
In addition, the illusion set up by Ethan is a scene that they have just experienced and their memories are very clear and profound, and it is easiest for people to distinguish between real and illusory spells when they launch such a spell at this time, and it is easier for them to fall into the illusion.
Otherwise, even a group of ordinary people can't be thrown into the illusion so easily and can't wake up, especially some people with strong spirits, who are likely to find something wrong in an instant, so as to break free from the illusion in advance.
On top of that, Ethan's illusion wasn't very aggressive, and if you wanted an illusion with real damage, the difficulty would increase exponentially.
"How can dreams escape from Raccoon Town without your help?"
"Yes. ”
Actually, it's not that simple, out of some of Ethan's personal bad tastes, Ethan left a small gift for this unlucky guy who was just about to join the company and lost his job before he officially took office, if he could find it......
Even if he can't find it, this dream will bring enough rewards to Leon: just like the original story, Leon has the experience of facing this crisis, and he will grow into the omnipotent Li Sanguang later.
But now that he has not faced various crises alone, Leon is just a rookie policeman, and maybe he will also burst out with due brilliance after training, but Ethan thinks it is better to let him break out early, otherwise the president's daughter will be in danger.
"What do you think that would be like?"
Idle is idle, and Ethan doesn't recommend chatting with a big beauty more, and looking at Annette next to her, she seems to be curious about this question.
"What will happen?"
Ethan touched his chin and briefly talked about the ending of some people.
"Robert, the owner of the gun shop, will be the first to die because the guy is not alert at all, and in the case of the monsters in the city, he did not put down the automatic roller shutter door. That fragile glass wall would be his poison. ”
Neither Ida nor Annette knew anything about Robert Kent, nor did they know what his situation was, so they didn't give any comments, just quietly waiting for the rest of the content.
Ben Bertolucci should have been the next to die, he thought he would be safe in the detention cell, but William, who had been injected with the G virus, would have easily killed him. ”
"Why did William kill him?"
Ida wondered why Ethan thought so, and William didn't seem to need to kill a journalist, right?
"William didn't mean to kill him, William, who had been injected with the G virus, had lost his personal consciousness, and it was only an instinct that drove him to act. ”
Annette has more say when it comes to this, because she was involved in the production of the G-virus and knows exactly what Ethan is talking about.
"Reproduction!"
William in the state of G virus will look for all creatures to reproduce, and he will inject G larvae into any creature he encounters, but G larvae cannot develop normally in non-blood related human bodies, and will only become huge larvae and break out.
All broke out of the body, and Ben's fate can be imagined.
"What about the two young men, Leon and Claire?"
"They'll get out without a hitch, and take Shirley with them. ”
Ida was surprised, she didn't expect that the rookie policeman with an excessive sense of justice would be able to escape alive, she always felt that with his kind of character, he would die early in that city.
Annette on the side heard that even without Ethan's help, Shirley could escape smoothly, and she was a little entangled in whether her previous choice was wrong?
But then she realizes that Ethan only said that Leon and Claire escaped with Shirley, but did not mention her situation.
"Did I die there too?"
"Yes. ”
Annette stopped talking, and at this point she stopped thinking about whether her previous choice was wrong, and who would want to die if she lived, although she doubted the credibility of Ethan's ending.
"Did I die in that city too?"
"You?"
Ada's question made Ethan's expression change a little bit, revealing a very playful smile, which made Ada a little uneasy.
"Everyone thought you were dead there, but despite your injuries, you managed to escape from Raccoon Town and complete your mission. ”
There was a slight pause in Ada's stride, which an ordinary person would not have been able to detect at all, but Ethan was not an ordinary person.
"Do you know my mission?"
"Obtain a sample of the G virus, and gain the trust of Wesker. ”
Ida had been able to take Ethan's words as a story before, but she realized that she couldn't think so. Although she had been shocked once that Ethan knew a lot of things, she found that Ethan seemed to know more than just a lot.
"Do you know everything that would have happened in this world?"
Ada's reaction is definitely worthy of being a top spy, and Ethan also knows that she has been testing herself, but realizing it so quickly still proves that she is excellent.
"When you get to the safe house, you can ask any questions you want. ”
Ethan thought of the crew list he had drawn up at the beginning, and he needed to think carefully about how to fool this spy into boarding the ship in the coming days.
