Chapter 1 Bernard Fokke's Diary
Under the careful reading of Fang Senyan and his companions, the tragic events of the past were pieced back together...
...
"Summer of 1462.
It hasn't rained for fourteen months straight.
That damned old man is drinking even more heavily. Last month, he sent my Mo-Moor to the slaughterhouse. I've been grazing him for years! I can still remember the tears in that poor old fellow's eyes when he left. If I had my way, I'd let Mo-Moor, that old horse, stay with me forever.
He went upstairs.
He actually dared to go upstairs!!
Now that drunk seems to have designs on Susan again. The way he looks at Susan is almost exactly the same as the way he looked at Mo-Moor a month ago!
This can't be allowed to continue. There's no doubt that drought is coming, and many people in our Devonshire will die. If that old man is still alive, Susan and I will be sold into slavery and then starve or die of thirst, while he'll drink himself to death with cheap brandy.
Anyway, the old bastard is going to die sooner or later, so why can't he make things better for Susan and me? -"

"I killed him, yes, I killed him!
God, I killed my father!
I hate that his blood flows through my body, just like I hate this damned, miserable fate.
I picked up Ponda's footstool and hit him with it. Even though it was a blow to the back of the head, how could he have died from that?
That old bastard was about to rape Susan! His own daughter, my sister!
But I didn't intend to kill him... There's no point in saying that now.
Damn it, Satan must have descended into my heart. The old man stripped Susan naked. When did her ** get so big? Her body is so white, my blood is rushing to my head. I need to find something to do, but why doesn't Susan put her clothes on?
Oh, I'm not a saint. I, Bernard Fork, am a gambler, a rogue, a villain, a beast! Don't tempt me!
Don't tempt me!
Don't tempt!
Don't temp!
Don't...
I cover! -"

"I'm finally safe.
Ten hours ago, I thought my only fate was to have my limbs broken and be hanged alive.
Life is truly amazing.
But it also means I have to work for that shipowner named Travis for ten years for free, and follow him unconditionally wherever he goes.
Damn it, I'm not one to keep my promises, but Travis's five men are even fiercer than hounds. I saw them laugh as they beat a runaway to death and threw him into the sea to feed the fish.
I hate eating this black bread that's as hard as stone! Even if I chew it a hundred times, the rough texture will cut my throat. Well, we're finally setting sail, leaving this damned place. I don't think I'll ever come back.
I have to do almost every job, but the navigator seems to have the most work. He actually asked me to help him copy those terrible numbers, latitudes, and longitudes. God, my head spins just looking at them!
Great, I seem to have discovered the navigator's secret. It seems pretty simple. Does he think he can confuse me by writing the nautical log with this simple Scott code? Dream on! Priest West, who used to live next door to us, told me about these things - may that kind old man rest in peace in heaven.
Well, I found that I'm doing a better job than that stupid, drunken navigator. Maybe others don't know, but I'm doing eighty percent of his work for him now -"
(Several thousand words omitted)
Travis told me that we have to go on a long voyage, a voyage that will take a year to a year and a half.
Next time, I have to remind him to be more respectful to me, because if I don't determine the latitude and longitude, his ship can only flounder in the harbor.
This is great news.
Especially for a miserable egg who doesn't get paid but does the work of both the navigator and the handyman, this is great news.
God! I've never wanted anyone to die so much! But Travis has looked like he's about to kick the bucket for the past three years, but he just won't die!
Our destination is called Dubaiya - I swear I've never heard such a tongue-twisting name in my life, probably because it's an African place name. Travis stupidly believes that there is something there that can make people immortal! Ahhh, if eating two or three flowers could make you immortal, what would we need God for?

To be honest, we were very lucky to reach the lovely, primitive, savage African continent. Several times I thought the ship was going to sink. The paper recording the coordinates of those devil-cursed channel traps seems to have been corroded by seawater, so I'll just... This two-year-old African pony was captured by me last week. To commemorate that unforgettable childhood, I still call it Mo-Moor. God, I clearly saw it pierced by two javelins at the same time.
Something unusual must have happened to it!
Let me think, let me think carefully. That's right, Mo-Moor seems to have been tied next to that huge bonfire.
It is said that it was a place of indigenous sacrifices. When I came back, I found that it seemed to be chewing something in its mouth. Could it be that it ate the sun ladder that Travis was tirelessly seeking there? Yes, it is very likely that some residue remained from the sacrifices of those natives!

Mo-Moor actually started eating raw meat, and also...Jiewen's corpse..." The only good news is that it still seems to recognize me. So I don't have to worry about my arm being chewed up in its mouth... at least not for now.

Travis finally got his wish, he escaped the punishment of death. But, I think he would have been better off dead.
There must be a way to obtain this great power and avoid that maddening fate. I heard that there is black magic in this world? If others can learn it, then of course I can!"
...
The record in this nautical manual ends here. Reef and Black Bro looked at each other after reading it, seeing the shock in each other's eyes.
Fang Senyan said faintly:
"This is what I gained from killing Little Duke Fork. I think the answer to this guy's incredibly powerful disease ability should be found in this nautical manual."
At this time, Reef and Black Bro also received prompts at the same time:
"You have read Bernard Fork's Nautical Manual."
"You have unlocked the hidden world: Resident Evil Origins."
"From now on, every time you enter the Nightmare World, you will be able to choose whether to enter the teleportation gate automatically assigned by the space, or the teleportation gate to this hidden world."
"Warning, once you enter the teleportation gate to this hidden world, it will never appear again, and even if you do not enter, it will only appear three times at most."
"Warning, Bernard Fork's Nautical Manual only has one use left."
"Warning, this hidden world is opened by the Dead Sea Scrolls, so it will also inherit the characteristics of the Dead Sea Scrolls, that is, the risks you take may not be proportional to the benefits. In addition, under normal circumstances, the difficulty of hidden worlds will be much higher than normal, so if you are not sure, please do not risk your life."
"Friendly reminder: Before entering, you should bring enough Universal Points."
Reef licked his lips and said dryly:
"Hidden world! It's actually a hidden world!"
Fang Senyan asked strangely:
"Do you know about this stuff?"
Reef's eyes showed a look of recollection and said:
"I heard people mention it. It is said that as long as you enter the hidden world, no main quest will be issued to you. Under normal circumstances, it is also difficult to encounter other contractors, and there is no limit to your stay time. The only thing that restricts your stay inside is Universal Points. You have to pay enough Universal Points for every day you stay inside, just like paying for a hotel room. But you may still trigger other side quests inside, but you have the freedom to refuse."
"But as the quest prompt said, things may happen in the hidden world where the risks and rewards are not proportional. The person who told me about this was originally from another team. The leader of his previous team invested all his wealth in a hidden world, and unfortunately only got a very small return, and was finally eliminated. The team was also disbanded."
"Understood." Fang Senyan nodded and said, "Then, I don't think now is a good time to enter this world.
One is because it has too high a difficulty, and two is because we are short of money, potential points, and supplies... We are short of everything! Don't say entering a high-difficulty world, we will probably die miserably even in a normal world!"
