Chapter 8: Background Introduction!
In order to be as familiar with the details as possible, Yan Chong actually showed an enthusiasm for learning that he had never had in school and started to look up information on the Internet.
Background stories, clearance videos, boss fights, skipping lessons...
Skip class teaching is a little trick discovered by some up-players with great imagination. They can use bugs or the environment to cleverly defeat difficult enemies without being aggressive.
Although Yan Chong prides himself on having very quick reactions and is quick to pick up action games, it is just like going to school in reality. If he skips too many classes, he really doesn’t want to go to school...
After explaining various materials, Yan Chong gradually figured out the context of the game "Sekiro".
In an imaginary Japanese Warring States Period, in the Ashina Kingdom, a war to steal the country was launched twenty years ago.
The leader of the pirate nation is Isshin Ashina, known as the Sword Master.
The people who followed him were called Wei Mingzhong, and they were all people with great power.
Among them are a group of samurai led by Ashina Shichimoto, the extremely intelligent pharmacist Dogen, and the orangutan, owl and phantom butterfly known as the founding three ninjas.
Among them, the owl adopted a child on the battlefield and named him "Wolf", who is the protagonist of the story.
The owl and the butterfly taught the wolf many skills and told him the principle of loyalty to his master.
After the wolf came of age, he was put in charge of protecting the young master of the Hirata family, Kuro, who was known as Long Yin's son.
Long Yin's son possesses the power of immortality, and can sign contracts with others, so that a person also has the power of immortality.
Three years before the main storyline took place, the Hirata family was invaded by a group of wild samurai, who committed murder and set fire in an attempt to kidnap Kuro.
In order to protect Kuro, Wolf rushed into Hirata's mansion and defeated Madam Huandie who was holding Kuro hostage. However, he was stabbed in the back and died.
Jiuro then signed a contract with the wolf and granted the wolf the power of immortality.
It was later proven that the person who stabbed the wolf in the back was his adoptive father, the owl, who was supposed to be dead.
As Owl and Mrs. Phantom Butterfly grew older, they both had the idea of Kuro Yin's power, so they planned an invasion of Hirata's mansion.
Three years later, with the physical decline of Ashina Isshin, Ashina's greatest reliance no longer existed.
The Imperial Household, the highest official in Japan at the time, equivalent to Tokugawa Ieyasu at the end of the Warring States Period, led troops to invade the Ashina Kingdom.
Because Ashina's national power was weak and he was no match for the Imperial Army, Ashina's adopted grandson, Ashina Genichiro, began to think about the power of Ryū Yin.
If he could become immortal, he would be a terrifying god of death on the battlefield.
But Jiulang felt that Long Yin's power distorted other people's lives, which was unnatural and unjust.
Not only did he disagree with granting the power of Ryūin to Genichiro Ashina, but he also wanted to cut off the power of immortality.
When Ashina Genichiro got angry, he imprisoned Kuro.
So the first half of the story is the process of the wolf trying to rescue Kuro, while the second half is the process of trying to help Kuro avoid death.
At the beginning of the story, when the wolf rescued Kuro for the first time, he faced Genichiro Ashina who was very strong in the early stage.
If the wolf loses to Genichiro Ashina, his left arm will be chopped off by Genichiro Ashina.
And if relying on superhuman operation ability, the wolf can defeat Genichiro Ashina in the early stage, but Genichiro Ashina will play a conspiracy and use the plot to force the wolf to amputate his arm.
Because "only" in Japanese also means one-armed, the wolf was henceforth called "Sekiro", which means one-armed wolf.
After his resurrection, Sekiro met a Buddhist sculptor in an abandoned temple and gave him a prosthetic hand, on which he could install many weird ninja tools to achieve various effects in the game.
Of course, in Yan Chong's view, this man who carries a big sword on his back and has only one arm, whose biological father passed away long ago and whose adoptive father is a very evil man, seems to be cosplaying Yang Guo...
And looking at it this way, the entire main plot of "Sekiro" is about finding an important person, rescuing him, fighting against the world, fulfilling his wish, and wanting to stay and fly with him. It is completely the story of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"
"Well!
But unfortunately, Sekiro is not handsome, and Kuro is a little boy.
"The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is incomplete without Xiao Longnu!
And what shocked Yan Chong most about this story was that Sekiro had only one position, which was to fulfill Jiulang's will.
Those who are contrary to his goals, whether it is Ashina Isshin, Ashina Genichiro, Ashina Shichimoto of Ashina Country, or the inner army of the opposing camp, or even the neutral Senhoji Temple, Minamoto Palace, Masterless Ninja
Orangutans, owls, phantom butterflies, hired bandits, anyone who went against his goals were all killed by him.
Even the rare birds and animals, aborigines, and patron saints hidden in the mountains and rivers were all killed by him.
This is a standard person from the chaotic evil camp!
Yan Chong felt that if he entered the dungeon, Sekiro's favorability towards him would be so great that it would explode!
Hey, no, he seems to be the owner of the power of "Dragon" Yin...
In this case, the favorability level may drop by two levels, and it would be good if it remains the same.
What attracts Yan Chong most in this game are the two knives that can cut off the power of immortality, the Immortal Slash.
But what troubles Yan Chong the most now is Zhao Yiliang, who for some reason can keep resurrecting.
As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves missing you.
With such an unkillable enemy watching over you, you never know when you will make a mistake.
If Yan Chong can obtain the Immortal Slash, he can cut off future troubles in one fell swoop.
So Yan Chong carried out detailed preparations, and after completing them within ten days, he immediately came to Qingbei Building and found 0031.
"I want to get a copy of "Sekiro"," Yan Chong said.
"It just so happens that the last team just withdrew from it and the task completion rate was not very high." 0031 said, "This time there are two people with good skills who want to open up wasteland. You should be strong enough to help.
If you are willing to wait for two days, I can help you find some people who can complement you."
"Thank you." Yan Chong said, "They won't hold me back, right?"
"Then it's up to you to discuss it yourself." 0031 said, "I'm only responsible for introducing it to you. You are responsible for what happens after entering the dungeon. It's just like someone reporting that you trapped them in a safe house and refused to let them out. No, that's not the case.
Any punishment?"
Yan Chong: "..."
It seems that 0031 already knows.
There is an 80% chance that this guy Deng Yuhu was the tip-off.
