Damn it! Let's smash the darkness together!-Chapter 1277 - 154: A Familiar Homeland in a Foreign Land

Considering that the secret realm I’m heading to is related to an acquaintance named "Qi Lixiang," and the trigger is also part of a corpse and weapon from "Jia Gu," Xu Shu remembers that he (Arthur) once passed by this place while fleeing back in the day. Therefore, feeling familiar with the surroundings isn’t exactly strange.

However, as he delved deeper and saw more and more building ruins, he finally confirmed something was amiss when he spotted the charred ruins of a building group with a barely recognizable stone monument inscribed with the words "Raccoon City Hospital." (Note 1)

This wasn’t the place where he was ambushed by the sorcery expert Jia Gu all those years ago, because he can interpret those letters based on Arthur’s memory; it clearly says "Raccoon City Hospital"!

So, is this the legendary birthplace of Arthur, in Florida where one can live without a life but can’t live without living, and eventually destroyed in the local seal artifact riot, Raccoon City?

"Hiss, it’s strange... This place, before and after my death, I was undefeated across Jiangnan, I should be familiar with this map."

"But why doesn’t it match up?"

"Within a few hundred kilometers of Raccoon City, where would there be a Dark Mother Goddess Cathedral?"

"It seems that some abnormalities have appeared in the relic, making it inconsistent with the legend in terms of geography? Has space distorted?"

Xu Shu was quite puzzled in his heart.

Previously, in the [Night Parade of Hundred Demons] world, although many strange monsters he didn’t recognize appeared, the overall terrain was completely consistent with the legend.

But this situation, reaching the opposite continent that should be under the same worldview, actually doesn’t match.

No, it seems that the situation inside Raccoon City is still the same as before, with the collapsed ruin being the first elementary school he attended... ah, here is the second... third...

[Oops, you slightly frown, realizing things are not simple.]

[Even though it’s a revisit to an old place, why do you feel both familiar and unfamiliar with this location, it is indeed strange and baffling. Surely, there must be very unspeakable secrets within!]

[Could it be, that only ’Death Report Ridge’ was extra brought over, so you don’t know, and once you leave the influence of that church, you can enter the field you are familiar with? Thinking like this, you become increasingly tense.]

"..."

Seeing that the volume of Tai Chu didn’t provide any effective information, Xu Shu cautiously followed behind everyone.

After about a quarter of an hour of searching, with the help of Xie Xiaochan’s "Dragon Ruler," the group broke into a half-destroyed high-end villa area. After a short search, they finally stopped in one of the relatively well-preserved villas.

It was empty inside, with walls even covered with various awards, and many "family portraits."

In the photos, the woman appears mature and quiet, seemingly knowledgeable, and the son, with chattering expressions and looking adorable, they seem like a harmonious and loving family—unfortunately, it should be a single-parent family, as there was no presence of a father in any of the photos.

"It looks like our target for reinforcement should be in this house, everyone looks carefully, don’t act recklessly, and be careful not to hurt it," Xie Xiaochan reminded while watching the silent half-sheathed Demon Sword.

"Understood!" everyone immediately understood and began searching the room for secret passages or mechanisms.

Xu Shu’s lips slightly twitched, almost unable to hold back.

"Damn, going round and round, actually came back to my house... yet this house is unexpectedly well-preserved."

This place, he knew all too well!

It was where "Arthur" used to live!

The child in the photo was himself, Arthur, in his child version.

And that blonde-haired, blue-eyed beautiful woman was his convenient mom, a Level III agent of the Abnormal Creature Research Institute, "Christina Chelsea"!

However, because Arthur was prone to involvement in various terrorist attacks since he was young, at that time, Christina often moved homes with Arthur.

Xu Shu still remembers that this was his residence before he was three years old.

Well, so it’s just one of the homes.

But it doesn’t make sense...

How did the search for reinforcements end up at my house? 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Wait, could it be Christina? No, she clearly turned into an Evil Spirit with me, and later was taken away by "Ksitigarbha," making Arthur lose his mom...

It seems it isn’t her, some monster must have used this as a lair and hidden it, likely just a coincidence...

Xu Shu pondered, not being skilled in deciphering, not to mention this was his former house, very clear that there was no secret passage or hidden room.

If there is a monster here, it must be hiding in one of the rooms?

Xu Shu thought for a moment, activated "spiritual perception," and began searching this old home skillfully, from the bathroom to the kitchen, from the first floor to the third floor...
