The roar of the chainsaw sword's motor echoed through the silent basement of Silent Hill Hospital. This weapon was simply too effective at cutting flesh, easily sawing the surrounding nurses into several pieces.
Roy and his three little witches gained a brief moment of safety, but the nurses were attracted by sound and light, so the chainsaw's roar would also draw more of them.
The nurses in the dark seemed endless, and Roy could only fight and retreat with the three little witches.
"Roy, it looks like our way back has changed!"
Zoe was quite sharp. As she followed Roy earlier, she didn't forget to make marks on the walls. Now she realized the route wasn't right.
Originally, Zoe wanted to go back to the elevator shaft because the stairs were next to the elevator, and they could easily return to the ground level via the stairs. But that plan had now failed.
"That guy must have hidden the way out!"
Roy gritted his teeth slightly. He had clearly said he didn't want to be enemies with her, yet she was still causing trouble for him.
Well, don't blame me then!
The path couldn't have just disappeared into thin air; otherwise, Roy couldn't have gotten in. So he guessed Alessa had hidden the way.
Opening his Eye of Truth, Roy immediately noticed the environment had changed. Some places that were originally walls had turned into passages.
"Follow me!"
Roy, with his chainsaw sword in one hand and a Remington M870 in the other, cleared a path for the three little witches. They quickly found the elevator they came down in, and then found the stairs going up.
The four of them made it back to the first floor of the hospital via the stairs smoothly, and the feeling of being restrained by shackles instantly disappeared.
"Phew, we finally got out."
Madison and Maria felt like they had narrowly escaped death. They collapsed onto the ground, not caring about the dust.
"Madison, Maria, how did you two end up in such a dangerous place?"
Zoe looked at the two little witches curiously. It wasn't just her; Roy was also very curious.
Madison looked at the ceiling with a look of despair.
"Don't even mention it! We met a middle-aged woman looking for her daughter in the Otherworld. We didn't know where else to go, so we followed her, and somehow ended up in this hospital."
Roy raised an eyebrow.
"You met Rose?"
Maria looked at Roy in surprise.
"Roy, how did you know that woman's name was Rose? I don't think we mentioned her name, did we?"
"I happened to meet this woman on the way to New Centralia. She's a key figure!"
No wonder Alessa didn't want him to enter her domain. She probably feared he would affect Rose and thus cause her plan to fail.
But that wasn't a reason for Alessa to target Roy. When had Roy ever taken such a loss?
Except for Elizabeth!
Everyone who had caused Roy trouble had been retaliated against by him. Even Elizabeth had paid the price in a different form.
Naturally, Roy wasn't going to let this slide.
"You guys rest here and don't wander around. I'm going back down to settle the score with Alessa!"
Hearing this, Zoe looked at Roy in surprise.
"Roy, you're going back down?"
"Yeah, I won't feel right if I don't teach that brat a good lesson! Take this!"
Roy handed the Cursed Twin Daggers to Zoe.
"These daggers can summon two evil spirits. If the world switches while I'm down there, they might be able to protect you."
With that, Roy walked towards the stairs without looking back.
Zoe hesitated repeatedly but didn't dare to stop Roy. Instead, she looked at Madison and Maria.
"What should we do?"
Madison looked completely indifferent.
"Since Roy told us to wait for him here, then let's wait! Anyway, Roy will definitely come back safe!"
Having been saved by Roy once again, Madison was now almost treating him like a god.
Maria had a similar mindset and nodded in agreement.
Zoe covered her face, hiding her helpless expression.
"I can't win with you guys! Fine, let's wait then!"
Entering the dark basement of Silent Hill Hospital again, Roy could feel the surrounding environment becoming more oppressive, and the shackles on him seemed even stronger.
"Why did you come back? I clearly let you go!"
Alessa's phantom appeared again, looking at Roy with bloodshot eyes.
Hearing this, Roy showed a sunny smile, but in his light blue eyes (Ghost Wolf form), there was only cold indifference.
"Oh? Should I be thanking you then?"
"If you oppose me, I will destroy everything you have!"
Roy smiled and shook his head.
"Heh, you can try!"
"Why are you doing this to me!"
Alessa screamed hysterically at Roy. An invisible force erupted from her body, actually sending Roy flying backward.
Roy's back should have been the stairwell, and he should have hit the stairs when he flew backward, but instead, he fell into water.
Something was wrong!
Roy was sure he was in an illusion right now, but he wasn't sure when he fell into the illusion.
Maybe it was the first step into the Silent Hill Hospital basement, or maybe it was when he saw Alessa.
Illusions were just that hard to guard against.
Roy climbed out of the water and found a straight, dark red corridor in front of him. It looked nothing like the basement of Silent Hill Hospital.
And the Alessa from moments ago had vanished.
The pool of water behind him disappeared instantly, replaced by a wall.
"Well, isn't this fancy!"
Roy tried to open his Eye of Truth but failed.
This situation was a bit strange. Illusions shouldn't affect his ability to use physical powers, right?
Could he have been dragged into a mental world by Alessa?
To verify his guess, Roy tried to transform into his demon form again, and it failed as expected.
So he must have been dragged into a mental world by Alessa, likely when he fell into the water just now.
Water, in many cultures, is a boundary between worlds.
"Interesting! Let me see what tricks you want to play?"
Since Roy dared to come back, he was mentally prepared. These little tricks wouldn't scare him.
He walked resolutely towards the dark red corridor.
At this moment, Alessa's clear childish voice began to sound in his ears, and a series of images appeared on the dark red corridor.
"They said I was a witch!"
The walls of the corridor showed a scene of a group of people pointing fingers at a little girl.
"They kept bullying me!"
Then there were scenes of the little girl being bullied by other students at school.
"They lied to me!"
Next, the image showed the scene of the little girl hiding and crying in the bathroom, being tricked out by an old school janitor.
Hmm, this part of the image is a bit hazy, likely done by the great harmonious god.
"They burned me alive!"
The last scene was the little girl being sacrificed by her own mother in her home.
This part is the story from the game version, not the movie version.
This version of Alessa is a mix of the game and movie backgrounds, making it more complex.
After all these images finished playing, Roy reached the end of the dark red corridor, and a door appeared in front of him.
Before Roy could reach out to push the door, it opened a crack by itself, and a faint crying sound came from the gap.
Roy was a bit speechless. He was already immune to this kind of scare tactic. It would be less startling than suddenly turning a beautiful woman into a Feng Jie (a notorious internet personality in China).
Pushing the door open, behind it was a dark red sickroom. The walls of the room constantly(wriggled or squirmed) like living flesh.
The crying sound from before had disappeared. There was only a pale-skinned little girl with long hair wearing a purple dress in the room.
"How did you feel after seeing those images just now?"
Alessa stared directly at Roy.
Roy's lips curled into a cold smile.
"Heh, I admit that little girl was indeed quite pitiful and deserving of sympathy, but that doesn't seem like a reason for you to hurt other people, does it?"
When Alessa heard the beginning of Roy's words, she showed a hint of a smile, but after hearing what he said next, her expression instantly changed.
"You don't understand my pain at all!"
Alessa started shouting and screaming at Roy again, just like an emotionally unstable brat. Actually, if Alessa really was a brat, it would be fine, but when he thought that this guy's true form was a woman nearing thirty, Roy felt a strong sense of incongruity.
"Are you done talking?"
Roy's cold attitude further enraged Alessa. The pain accumulated from hiding in the hospital basement for twenty years had already twisted her soul.
"Since you can't understand my pain, I'll let you experience it yourself!"
Saying that, flames burst from Alessa's body, and she rushed towards Roy.
Roy subconsciously wanted to kick Alessa away but found his foot passed through her body. This was completely a ball of fire.
The flames traveled up Roy's leg and spread throughout his body, bringing him intense pain.
"Fck! You can't play fair, can you? Then let's stop playing!"
Roy instantly prepared to flip the table, transforming into his Angel form in the mental world.
A holy light descended from the sky, dispelling the flames on Roy and transforming him into a Six-Winged Angel.
"Ah! How can you be an angel!"
Alessa let out a scream. Her body contained the power of the Lord of Wrath, making her essentially no different from a demon.
Unfortunately, Alessa's talent was limited, and she couldn't perfectly utilize the power of the Lord of Wrath, otherwise, she wouldn't be unable to heal her own body.
"Surprise? Unexpected?"
Just as Roy was preparing to teach Alessa a good lesson, something that surprised and unexpected him arrived.
"No! Lisa, save me!"
Seemingly sensing the threat of death, Alessa instinctively sought protection.
At this moment, a sexy nurse wearing a red sweater jacket appeared.
Lisa Garland, a nurse at Silent Hill Hospital. She was assigned to care for the severely burned Alessa and had great sympathy for her.
(Lisa Garland)
During Alessa's extremely vulnerable period, this nurse brought her a trace of warmth. So, Alessa corrupted her with the power of the Lord of Wrath and even created an army of nurses based on her likeness to guard herself.
This is why Roy wasn't sympathetic towards Alessa. You can't ignore the bad things someone has done just because their past experiences were pitiful.
Especially since Alessa showed no sign of repentance.
"No one can hurt Alessa!"
Lisa, holding a sharp knife, rushed towards Roy in his angel form. Her eyes were bloodshot, and she exuded an inexplicable pressure, actually resisting the holy light emanating from Roy and stabbing towards his body.
Roy strongly suspected that Lisa in Alessa's mental world was actually the manifestation of the Lord of Wrath's power.
Alessa couldn't use this power freely yet, so she could only use it in this way.
Roy used his light wings and holy light to block Lisa, but her sharp knife completely ignored Roy's defense, piercing his chest, exactly where the Eye of Death was located.
This weapon, imbued with the power of the Lord of Wrath, was not so easy to defend against.
Damn it!
Roy felt that the small sharp knife seemed to be destroying his mind. He had been a bit too careless after all and could only quickly find a way to escape Alessa's mental world.
Fighting in Alessa's mental world was too disadvantageous.
Fear Domain activate!
Desire Domain activate!
The release of the double domains threw Lisa in the mental world into chaos. Roy immediately released the full power of his Six-Winged Angel's holy light, concentrating it at one point, preparing to forcefully break through Alessa's mental world and return to reality.
"No—"
Opening his eyes, Roy found himself lying in the corridor of Silent Hill Hospital's basement, pinned down by countless nurses.
"Fck! Let go of me!"
Just as Roy tried to exert force, he felt weak all over. It seemed Alessa's domain was still further weakening him.
At the same time, Lisa's stab in the mental world had also affected Roy's mind. He now felt like his sanity was leaking away like a deflating balloon.
"How could this happen?"
These nurses continuously attacked Roy with sharp knives, but Roy's defense was too strong. Ordinary knives like these couldn't possibly hurt him.
Especially since some nurses couldn't find a good attack position and actually attacked Roy's lower body, which further drove Roy's mind into madness.
These nurses were actually guardians created by Alessa using the power of the Lord of Wrath; they weren't real nurses.
After all, where would a small town hospital get so many hot nurses?
As the red energy continuously entered Roy's body, his body and weapon became even more imposing.
But Alessa wasn't stupid either. After permanently losing a part of her power, she immediately wanted to control the nurses to retreat.
Roy: Want to run? No way!
The nurses...
