Chapter 43 - Chapter 43 Arrival at the Cult Church

Stepping on the thick ashes of Silent Hill town, Leon and the two women walked silently towards the deepest part of the town.

The cult leader Bella is currently located in the church in the deepest part of Silent Hill.

After walking for some distance, the insane woman appeared swaying in front of the three of them again.

She was the only one in Silent Hill who would not be harmed after the Otherworld descended.

Rose looked at her figure, and ever since she knew her identity, her eyes were filled with pity when she saw her again.

However, Leon had no intention of stopping, as if he hadn't seen the woman, and continued to walk deeper into the town.

At this time, some figures appeared in the distance.

Sibyl pulled out her pistol from her waist and looked at those people warily: "Yang, are they the survivors of Silent Hill?"

Leon glanced at Sibyl and said with a smile: "Do You still remember the investigation information about Silent Hill?"

Sibyl was stunned for a moment and said: "Silent Hill town, due to an accidental fire, caused everyone..."

At this point, Sibyl stopped, and Rose, seeing Sibyl speak halfway, couldn't help but ask: "What happened to everyone?"

"Everyone... everyone died in that fire."

When Sibyl looked at those people again, she felt her hair stand on end, and Rose couldn't believe it, saying: "How is this possible?"

Leon looked at the residents of Silent Hill town with a smile on his face and said to Rose: "Nothing is impossible."

"Silent Hill itself is a resting place for souls. The place we are in now is not the real world at all, but the 'surface world', a layer between the Otherworld and the real world."

"When the fire broke out, Alessa's sacrifice ritual was interrupted, and she was rescued by a policeman and sent to the town's hospital, but she was severely burned during the sacrifice and lay motionless in bed."

"Because of her monstrous resentment, Alessa's evil doppelganger appeared. After she appeared, she corrupted the entire town and also caused the fire to engulf everyone in the town."

"However, Chrisbella and the cultists who harmed her at the time, because they were protected by an evil god, their souls hid in the church, unaware that their bodies had already died, and now they are merely souls lingering on."

Rose and Sibyl were dumbfounded: "Is this Nether?"

"No, no, didn't I say? This is the surface world of Silent Hill. It's practically identical to reality, except it has things that don't exist in the real world, such as souls..."

As he spoke, Leon stopped and looked at a building nearby.

"This is Alessa's school. I'll take You to see it."

With that, Leon strode into the school. Rose and Sibyl exchanged glances and followed him into the school. The school was equally dilapidated, having been abandoned since the fire.

The school was very quiet, with only the footsteps of the three echoing within. Leon purposefully led the two up to the second floor, heading towards the deepest toilet in the corridor.

Looking at the classrooms along the corridor, Leon's expression did not change much.

Soon, the three arrived at the toilet door.

Rose had some conjectures in her heart but dared not confirm them. Her gaze fixed on the women's toilet door as she asked: "Why come here?"

Leon said with a smile: "Of course, to see the soul that is forever trapped in the toilet."

He stretched out his hand and pushed open the door of the women's toilet. The toilet, which had not been used for several years, only had a simple, putrid smell.

Leon counted the wooden doors of the toilet stalls one by one.

"1... 2... 3..."

Arriving at a door with a symbol drawn on it, Leon lifted his foot and kicked it open, revealing the scene behind.

Rose, standing behind Leon, couldn't help but let out a scream, stumbling backward and bumping into Sibyl. Sibyl wasn't much better; she was a police officer, not a forensic doctor, let alone a pervert.

Inside the toilet stall, a male corpse, dressed in blue work clothes but with his chest exposed, had his head and legs tied together with wire.

His body was completely bent into a U-shape.

His lower body was bloody and rotten, with wire passing through it, clearly having suffered inhuman treatment.

Sibyl, suppressing her discomfort, stepped forward to examine the corpse and then asked: "Is he the cleaner who insulted Alessa?"

"That's right, he's the cleaner who got what he deserved."

Leon had no pity for such a person in his heart. He came here just to see with his own eyes this monster in Silent Hill whose abilities were second only to Triangle Head.

"Oh, by the way, friendly reminder, he's still alive!"

Sibyl's body trembled, and she couldn't help but take a step back. Looking at the corpse with limbs and neck pierced by wire, she turned her head and glanced at Leon.

"You're telling me this is still alive?"

"The residents of Silent Hill, they only have their souls left. As long as they still have limbs, then they are alive. Although their appearance looks a bit special, once the Otherworld descends, they will start moving again."

"What kind of a shitty world is this?!"

Sibyl couldn't help but curse, pacing two steps in the women's toilet in a venting manner.

"It's just a shitty world that shouldn't exist."

Leon looked at the words on the wall.

"Dare You come!"

And there was an arrow pointing to the corpse's mouth, which was information Alessa deliberately left to guide Rose step by step towards the truth.

But Leon knew all the plot, so there was no need to dig out the wooden block from the man's mouth.

Originally, he wanted to put this corpse, or rather, soul, into his backpack to exchange for energy value, but now that he saw its appearance, Leon felt that letting it suffer eternal pain here was the best choice.

"Let's go to the church. By the way, Sibyl, can I use your pistol?"

Sibyl heard Leon was going to borrow her pistol, and her expression was very complicated as she considered it. Finally, she still took out the pistol and handed it to Leon, saying: "Not many bullets left, I have one more magazine..."

She guessed what Leon was going to do.

Leon took the pistol, found the safety, opened it directly, and then put it into his backpack, saying with a smile: "Two shots are enough."

With that, he turned and left the women's toilet. Sibyl and Rose immediately followed, leaving only a soul forever tormented in the toilet stall.

The closer they got to the church, the fewer ashes there were in the sky.

By the time Leon and the others arrived in front of the church, the sky had turned into a normal overcast day, with no white fog or ashes. All that met their eyes was the church itself and the densely packed tombstones in the courtyard in front of it.

Rose looked at the special symbol and loudspeaker on top of the church and said excitedly: "This is it, this is the church in my daughter's painting."

"Let's go, let's go pick up your daughter..."

Beep... beep...

The alarm sounded, and the Otherworld was about to descend again.
