☆, Time Travel, Escape Begins

Ye Xi is a contradictory person.

She's afraid of horror movies, but she always finds tons of them online and watches them all, skipping over the really creepy parts. Her athletic grades are terrible, but she's a natural at outdoor survival sports like rock climbing, and during military training, her instructors praised her more than once as a potential female soldier. She's afraid of pain, but she went to practice judo, only to drop out after a month because the probability of violence in this peaceful world is practically zero. She doesn't like staying home, but she always stays home playing online games and grinding bosses because she can't afford to travel. Ye Xi is a rather sensitive person; she always manages to beat suspense games, but in some ways, she's also quite thick-skinned. For example, she can watch gory, violent, and disgusting movies like "Mermaid in a Sewer," "Resident Evil," and the "Living Dead" series while snacking and drinking, and she seems to enjoy it immensely.

Ye Xi is a senior in college, the age when she should be working as an intern at a company. Her mother has urged her more than once to find a job and stop playing games, but she rarely listens. As a freelance photographer who is also a "part-time gamer," at least she won't starve. She's also fortunate that her father likes to take her on trips, allowing her to take some landscape photos with her DSLR camera, which she's saved up for a long time. She then tentatively submits these photos to the editorial department of a magazine, and luckily, a few get published, earning her a little money.

So, almost every time Ye Xi went out to play, she always carried her DSLR camera. Sometimes the photos she took could be published, and sometimes they were rejected. During these low periods, she would switch to online games and become a professional gamer.

Ye Xi, who has been playing since elementary school and all the way to university, is definitely a top-notch player. In just a few seconds, she can unleash several combos while casually drinking a small health potion to replenish her mana.

Ye Xi loves this feeling of freedom. Whether she's taking photos or playing online games, she always feels her blood boiling. The freedom and unrestrained nature of photography is what she longs for, while the battles in online games are her most enjoyable moments.

As usual, Ye Xi stayed in her school dormitory today, sitting at her computer desk with her fingers flying across the keyboard. Just as she was about to unleash a full-screen kill skill, the screen froze and then stopped moving...

"Damn it! Why did it have to drop now of all times?! That's the final boss of the dungeon, you bastard!! The immortal artifact it drops could sell for at least 10,000!!" Ye Xi angrily slammed her hand on the keyboard, and then somehow her computer screen went black...

Eeya ya ya ya ya ya!!! ...

Is this the legendary "roaring style"? OJZ

Enraged, Ye Xi unplugged the internet cable. That dungeon had just been released; she'd been waiting for it to open for days, finally squeezing into the top 100, hoping her luck would allow her to defeat the boss and obtain the celestial artifact. Since the game's launch, fewer than 100 celestial artifacts had been obtained, and even fewer divine artifacts—less than 20. If she really got a celestial artifact, she could sell it and eat spicy beef noodles for months!

The instant noodles were gone just like that… Ye Xi, who had been sitting in front of the computer for almost an entire afternoon, went into the bathroom with tears streaming down her face, then searched the shelf for a long time but couldn’t find her beloved towel…

"Damn it, what's wrong with my luck today!" Ye Xi wiped the water droplets that had slid down her chin with the back of her hand. Looking up, she saw the mirror in the bathroom. After a three-second silence, she rushed out of the bathroom, her mind completely blank—

I know our dorms at L University are pretty good, but that doesn't mean they've suddenly turned into offices, right? I know many people usually visit each other's rooms, but that doesn't mean guys can just wander in and visit too, right? I know there are quite a few international students at L University, but that doesn't mean all international students, including men, are running into my dorm room that's turned into an office!

How can I possibly accept this?!

Ye Xi immediately turned and ran into the bathroom. Before her panicked heart could calm down, she was startled again—the dormitory bathroom had grown bigger! The original 4 square meters had instantly become 15 square meters! Ye Xi stared blankly at the luxurious bathroom, tears streaming down her face—oh my god, with such a clean bathroom, she wouldn't have to worry about cockroaches anymore!

A beautiful woman with long blonde hair pushed open the bathroom door, saw Ye Xi standing there dumbfounded, and greeted her in a friendly manner: "How was it? Did your first day go well?"

English is English, yet the foreigner actually struck up a conversation! Although Ye Xi couldn't understand what she was saying, she was still very excited. She had never spoken a single word to a foreigner, not even a simple hello. The beautiful woman smiled at her, then walked to the sink and looked in the mirror.

'Lisa.' The name suddenly flashed through Ye Xi's mind; it was clearly the name of the beautiful woman who had just struck up a conversation with her.

Who is Lisa? Why do I know this English name? I've been failing English for years... Ye Xi's face turned pale. If her initial lapse in judgment was an escape from reality, then she could no longer hide now—she clearly saw that the face that appeared in the mirror the moment she looked up after washing her face was not her own—it was the face of a strange, slightly immature Eastern person!

“…Miss Lisa…do you…know my name?” Ye Xi’s voice trembled slightly because she heard her own voice—clear, melodious, soft, and fluent in English.

"Of course, Miss Ye Xi, you introduced yourself this morning, don't you remember?" The beautiful woman chuckled and patted Ye Xi's head. "Didn't I tell you to just call me 'sister'? You're bound to be a little nervous and uneasy on your first day at work. If you have any difficulties, you can come to me."

Ye Xi nodded blankly, watching Lisa's departing figure, carefully recalling every word she had just said. Ye Xi… I am still Ye Xi, that's my name, there's no mistake… But… what is going on… I just went to wash my face, how could I suddenly… suddenly become someone else?! Where am I? Where am I?!

Helplessness and fear overwhelmed Ye Xi instantly, and she couldn't help but shiver. She went to the sink again and kept splashing water on her face. The water was icy cold, but it couldn't bring Ye Xi back to her senses.

'Ye Xi, a PhD graduate from X University, is currently 20 years old and an intern in the Technology Research Department of Umbrella Corporation...' A piece of information suddenly flashed through Ye Xi's mind, followed by countless other pieces of information about "Ye Xi".

Umbrella?! Ye Xi stared blankly as the water gushed out of the tap, then remembered something and looked around, only to find a red and white umbrella-shaped pattern in the lower left corner of the mirror.

For Ye Xi, who has played Resident Evil countless times but still enjoys this headshot game, this pattern is all too familiar.

Oh my god! Resident Evil... This is Resident Evil! Ye Xi was excited for a moment, but then she slowly became scared, because she "remembered" some information - as the memories left behind by "Ye Xi" - this is the branch office where "she" interned, and also the Hive where the virus broke out in Resident Evil 1!

Ye Xi was a chemistry and biology prodigy from a young age. Her love for these two subjects led her to give up almost all other studies, but it was worth it. She published papers more than once and was included in the National Academy of Science and Technology. She invented no less than 100 drugs and obtained national patents. She created a miracle in medical history - enabling patients with muscular dystrophy to pick up a pen again. As a result, she was recruited by Umbrella Corporation and joined the head office.

However, before joining the head office, she had to intern at this branch for five years, and today was her first day at work.

Five years? Hmph, maybe not even a day! Ye Xi thought almost desperately—so what if she inherited those memories? So what if she came to her beloved Resident Evil? She's in extreme danger right now! If the plot were to start again in the next second, she wouldn't even have a chance to escape. She'd be infected by that T-virus, which is worse than rabies, and turn into a zombie whose skin has been neglected for years, resulting in chapped skin and a perpetually starving appearance, clinging to people and biting them as if she were an abused African refugee!

If that's the case, then she'd rather kill herself right now and cut off her head!

Soul transmigration? What a load of rubbish! Washing your face and you can time travel? Thank you! Such a supernatural thing is making materialists speechless. Marx would weep, Hegel would shed tears! You think your dad is some kind of time-traveling god? Is your dad Li Gang? Is your mom Yueyue (a character from a popular TV series)?

What's the point of complaining? We should just run for our lives!

Ye Xi rushed out of the bathroom, grabbed Lisa's arm, and asked, "Where can we get out?!" Regular employees can only go home on weekends, but Ye Xi is different; as an intern, she can go home every day.

"Are you going out?" Lisa looked at her with some surprise. "It's not time to get off work yet."

"My friend is sick and I have to go see her." For the sake of her own life, Ye Xi lied without even thinking, which could easily be misunderstood as her being worried about her friend.

"...Okay, I'll ask for leave for you. Just go out of the office, turn right, and go straight up to the elevator."

"Thank you!" Ye Xi said, then ran off quickly. Don't ask her why she didn't tell others to run for their lives. She's not some saint; she's barely able to protect herself, and even if she did, others might not believe her, and it might even cause her trouble.

Upon seeing the elevator, Ye Xi rushed inside and, amidst the strange looks from a group of people, pressed the button for the top floor, number 1, before finally letting out a sigh of relief.

I don't know when the plot will start... Oh well, once I reach the ground, I'll just escape Raccoon City and leave by any means necessary. Ideally, I'll go to some deserted island to avoid getting infected in the end, and then figure out how to get back to my own world... Ye Xi was making plans in her mind, but that scumbag gong who called himself Chen Hui's biological mother just liked to abuse his own child, so suddenly the elevator stopped and got stuck in the middle, neither going up nor down.

"Power outage?" a man holding a coffee cup muttered.

“Impossible, this place is controlled by the Red Queen,” a Black woman said, then pressed the emergency call button on the elevator, but there was no response.

Seeing this, Ye Xi's heart, which had just settled, jumped into her throat again. Her face turned deathly pale—the elevator! Shit! The elevator from the very beginning of the first movie! No wonder these people looked so familiar!

Ye Xi was almost in despair. She was about to die; this elevator would freefall and smash to pieces! Leaning against the cold handrail, she lifelessly watched the group of people struggling to pull the doors open. The doors slowly opened, and the Black woman managed to squeeze her head out, then the others continued pulling, trying to push their bodies out as well…

She…she’ll be decapitated soon, and after that, the elevator will plummet, and all hope will be lost…No, I don’t want to die! Ye Xi clenched her fists. Why, why, why?! Why was I sent here? Why do I have to die?! I didn’t pray to the god of time travel, I didn’t make any wishes to the stars or the moon, I didn’t fall into a ditch, I wasn’t hit by a car, I wasn’t accidentally killed by that god, I didn’t just fall asleep…how could I have time-traveled?! And why do I have to die the moment I get here?!

The will to survive straightened Ye Xi's back, and her eyes rekindled her desire for life. She looked up and saw a small door, just big enough for one person to pass through, covered by a metal plate. Most elevators have a small opening for electricians or rescue workers to pass through. Ye Xi glanced at the group of people struggling to pull the door open, and after confirming they weren't paying attention to her, she quietly climbed up and stood on the handrail. Then she lifted the door above, and after a few shoves, it opened.

Luckily, the group was noisy, otherwise Ye Xi would definitely have been discovered. She immediately grabbed the edge of the small opening, using both her legs and hands to pull herself out. Ye Xi's body was very slender, so her upper body squeezed out in one go. Although she was a little tired, she didn't let herself rest, because she felt the elevator start moving, and then heard the terrified screams of the people inside. She immediately and laboriously climbed out, then jumped onto the metal frame. Almost instantly, but after Ye Xi was completely out of the elevator, the elevator car plummeted downwards, followed by a loud "boom"...

"Thank goodness..." Ye Xi breathed a sigh of relief, still shaken. Don't blame her for not bringing others; that would have been a waste of time and resulted in total annihilation. After all, humans are selfish creatures...
