Chapter 143: [Welcome to Hell!]

[Rosalyn's POV:]

.

" Are we sure we can trust him?" Tia asked as she looked at Mia.

" I don't know. We are just following him because Master Rosalyn is following him," Mia answered, making all of them look at me.

Though I didn't turn to answer them as I simply kept walking behind Wesker until we reached closer to the outer gate of Border Town.

Not that I trusted him, but more like he seemed to know a little too much about us. How should I put this... like he already knew what we needed and what we wanted.

'And by the time we realized, we were already in his palms, doing whatever he was asking of us,' I sighed as I recalled the meeting I had with the elder witches.

" All right. Since we are about to start, let's have a brief recall of what we are going to do in the next 10 minutes," and then he began narrating the entire plan to us as fast as he could.

Didn't take more than a few minutes before he took out a strange device from his dimensional storage and placed it in front of us. And then as he placed another array there... the device began-

"?!!!"

Shocked and terrified, most of us jumped back.

Ominous would be an understatement. This energy was... too dark. Too sinister.

Chills ran down our spines just by looking at it, while we stood there watching that energy spiraling out of the device. It was way worse than we expected it to be.

" Is this hell's energy?" I asked Wesker while he turned with a smile and nodded. His smile made me relieved and anxious at the same time.

Though his next words wiped all my anxiety and gave me pure stress.

" It's actually worse inside there. And a lot more if we, by chance, end up meeting a Hell Guardian or something."

I gulped as I asked," Hell's Guardian? Sounds powerful... but hopefully we won't be meeting anything like that... right?"

As for Wesker,

" I am good at hide and seek," that maniac was calm even in this situation.

Is he that strong or has he lost his mind due to all this pressure? I don't know.

" You seem to know me," the bony guy seemed intrigued by his behavior, while Wesker answered with a friendly smile,

" The 11th Inspector under the Shadow Being. The one with sub authority of passive emptiness. It would be odd if I did not know about it and came here on a whim."

This time, the bony guy's eyes widened as he was genuinely surprised to hear that. His smile widened as he looked at Wesker and spoke up.

" Am I that famous?!! Wow! That's some good news in a millennium."

It was a strange situation.

At one point, we were having this feeling that our heads would drop in the nick of the second. We were having difficulty in doing almost anything. To the point where some of us were trying not to breathe so as to not get noticed.

And then there was this warm and friendly conversation they were having, as if old friends were meeting after a long time.

" Kind of. Were you patrolling here?" Wesker asked, making him shake his head as he answered,

" Nah! I was just taking a stroll here. It was a coincidence to be caught up in whatever you guys just did."

" I guess so. How are things back at the station?" Wesker asked.

" Dull." The bony guy raised his both hands as if it was a stupid question.

Wesker then laughed before that bony guy's eyes turned serious, making us tighten our grip a little more.

" Now. Before we get even more chummy and friendly. May I ask what is the purpose of your visit here in hell? And obviously... who the hell are you?"

He asked as his voice took a threatening turn from the previously friendly one.
