Silent hill 2's story background and truth.

Three years ago, James took Mary to Silent Hill for sightseeing. They used to spend a whole day in Luo Swart Park, looking at the lake and doing nothing. They must have been to the Silent Hill Historical Society, where they saw the paintings with triangular heads. During their stay in Silent Hill, they stayed at the Lake View Hotel in Palerville, Hubei Province, toluca. There, James recorded Mary's last happy time with a camera. James is crazy about filming Mary, and Mary feels shy and helpless about it. She told James what she heard. Silent Hill is a sacred place, and she can understand why. Besides, she asked James to take her on a trip later. By that time, Mary had begun to cough. Maybe this is when the disease started.

Shortly after they returned to their original place of residence, Mary was diagnosed with a terminal illness, and her life expectancy was only three years at most, and then she began a long hospitalization career. Because Mary learned that she could only live for three years at most, she couldn't accept it for a while, and she vented her negative emotions on people around her, especially James. As her illness worsened, she could no longer move and could only lie in bed; And her skin began to swell and fester, and she began to hate her ugly and sad body. Mary once told James that she wanted to die; But sometimes she tells him that she doesn't want to die. Sometimes she asked him to give up her and live his own life; But sometimes, she tells him that she wants him to stay with her until she dies.

Once, James took flowers to visit her, but she scolded him. James left, and she regretted it and cried for him to come back. This kind of drama is constantly being staged. At the end of the second year of illness, Mary met Laura, a lonely 7-year-old girl. She regards Laura as her daughter and tells her a lot about Silent Hill. Laura must have seen James angry with Mary many times, so she always thought James was a bad person.

During the three years of taking care of Mary, James was under great pressure. On the one hand, it costs a lot of money to treat Mary. On the one hand, Mary often hurts him with words, which makes him very upset; On the other hand, because Mary is ill, James can't get sexual satisfaction from her, and his morality doesn't allow him to find another woman, so he has been living a sexually repressed life. Besides, he can't bear to see Mary suffer again. In this case, James had the idea of killing Mary.

At the end of the third year, the doctor advised Mary to go home for a while. Mary realized that she was dying instead of getting better, so she wrote two letters to nurse Rachel and gave them to James and Laura after Mary died. When writing a letter, James saw the beginning of the letter, so the opening paragraph was printed on his mind. James took Mary home, and a few days later he smothered her with a pillow. The reason for killing her is different in the endings of Water and Maria. Unable to bear the impact of the fact that he killed his wife, his psychological defense mechanism suppressed this memory, emotion and guilt in the depths of his subconscious, distorting the fact that he killed his wife into a sudden illness and died three years ago. Because the repressed desires in the subconscious may still unconsciously affect people's behavior (another reason is that they are inadvertently attracted by the power of Silent Hill), James received a letter from Mary in confusion (actually a blank piece of paper) and went to Silent Hill.

When Mary came home, Laura stole two letters from the nurse. In the letter, Mary said that she went to a quiet and beautiful place and wished her a happy eighth birthday. Laura thought Mary had gone to Silent Hill, so she embarked on a journey to Silent Hill. Eddie is a fat man. Since he was a child, he was bullied and insulted by people around him because of his size. Moreover, the beginning of his surname "Domb" is often called "dumb" by bullies. One of the football players who grew up with him is the most annoying. He and Eddie live in the same apartment building. Although Eddie has been living a cautious life and trying to please people around him as much as possible, people's prejudice and discrimination have not changed.

One day, Eddie met a football player who took his dog out for a walk in the corridor of his apartment. The man laughed at him-at least that's what Eddie thought. Dogs bully others. In a rage, Eddie went home and took out a pistol and shot the dog, then shot the man in the knee. Afraid of being arrested by the police, Eddie fled the original city in his van. In the aimless escape, he met Laura on the road. Eddie agreed to Laura's request and drove her to Silent Hill, so they embarked on a journey to Silent Hill. For some reason, Eddie is very tolerant of Laura's sarcasm and satire. Laura called him fat, and he didn't mind; Don't be angry even if Laura kicks you while sitting on the ground reading the map. Although I don't know if Angela is a resident of Silent Hill, she is definitely not the kind of "aborigine" who knows the secret. Judging from the conversation in the cemetery, it seems that her parents divorced and then she lived with her father and brother. Her father is a lumberjack, perhaps because of the decline of logging industry, and his life is not good. He is alcoholic and prone to violence. In high school, she was raped many times by her drunken father. Sometimes she was tricked or threatened into adultery, and sometimes she was coerced into obedience by her father. After graduating from high school, she left home. Maybe she went to her mother's house. When she told her mother about being raped by her father, her mother said she deserved it. Then she was picked up by her father. When her father tried to rape her again at midnight, she couldn't stand his rape, stabbed him in the neck and left abdomen many times with a knife, killed him, and then fled her home again. Later, because of emotional confusion, I was attracted by Silent Hill.

Raped by her father, in order to avoid arousing others' sexual desire, she began to wear dense clothes. The clothes on the upper body cover the neck and are loose to avoid revealing the curve of the body; And the lower body wears pants to cover the whole leg. It seems that she suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and she is very easily frightened, wary of people and suicidal. There is a hole here.

Not anymore.

"There used to be a hole here, but now it's gone." This is silent hill 2's most famous sentence.

After James reached the underground of the historical archives, "holes" (including vertical corridors and long descending stairs) appeared repeatedly. James kept jumping into these holes as if he had been seduced by something. It can be understood that these holes represent the abyss that opened in his heart. And jumping into the hole means that James sneaked into his subconscious and finally accepted the fact of the crime. As the words on the bar wall describe, Silent Hill is full of open holes to attract people with dark sides. That hole is the entrance to the abyss of the soul, and only the guilty can see it.

In the underground labyrinth cemetery, you can see the tombstones of James, Eddie, Angela, killer Walter Sullivan and other criminals. Because Walter killed two children, Eddie killed someone in the prison cafeteria, and Angela killed her father. The prisoner who stole the wine must have been executed for killing someone, so it can be inferred that James also killed someone. In front of the tombstones of James, Eddie and Angela, only James has a hole; In the end, Eddie and Angela both died, so it can be understood that only James has the intention of sneaking into his subconscious to explore the truth.

Some players think that this is the trace left by Joseph Schreiber in Silent Hill 4: Chamber of Secrets, which is a very wrong understanding. Because Silent Hill 4 was developed after the completion of the second generation, it was impossible to consider Silent Hill 4 at that time, and Silent Hill 4 was not originally developed as one of the Silent Hill series. Moreover, there is no information linking caves with cults in the game, and there is no information about Joseph drilling holes to downtown Silent Hill in Silent Hill 4. Xuchilpaba is the name of the first god in Silent Hill series. This name appears in the sub-script "Born as I Wish" of the memo "Lost Memory". In the main script, there is a book called Crimson Ceremony, in which a god who calls himself Crimson I (のものの Zhen Hong) is conveying his teachings.

According to the descriptions in these two books, the red sacrifice is a magical ceremony to summon Xuchilpaba. Lies, fog, and night are all manifestations of it. There are 400 people and 7000 wild animals as its followers. He will also punish people. It appreciates the last struggle before death. It has the ability to bring back the dead, and it is strong enough to bring back the dead in the whole cemetery. Red sacrifice requires two props: white oil (representing fog, extracted from acacia tree, not white Claudia) and obsidian goblet (representing the body of night). Although it is not explicitly stated, if we understand it in combination with the "lost memory" in Maria, we will find that the words imply that the blood of the performer is still needed, and the Obsidian cup is used to hold the blood of the performer mixed with white oil. Oh, a glass full of white wine, it all started with it. Oh, the glass is full of the whitest wine. This wine started with you. Therefore, if James wants to save Mary, he should at least give his own blood.

In the church in silent hill 3, there are six oil paintings telling myths. The above-mentioned "gods" created gods and angels such as the yellow god Lobsel Vith and the red god Xuchilbara to guide human beings to obey her. It is not clear whether Xuchilpaba is the same god as the red god Xuchilbara mentioned in silent hill 3. I don't know the gender of Xuchilpaba either. But from the point of view that Xuchilpaba represents lies, fog, night and resurrection (bringing the dead back to this world), it is in strong conflict with the gods in Silent Hill 1, 3 and 4-the gods in Silent Hill 1 represent the paradise of wisdom, light and death; The God of silent hill 3 represents the sun, death and the heaven of death; The Virgin of Silent Hill 4 tries to purify the world (also a paradise of death).

In view of the fact that Silent Hill 4: The Chamber of Secrets has a scarlet tome (the little red book) that teaches people to destroy the arrival of the Virgin Mary, it was originally hidden on the second floor of the Hope House. Therefore, it is reasonable to suspect that the followers of Xuchilpaba have been secretly sabotaging the summoning plans of other sects.

In addition, its name is similar to Xochitlicue, the goddess in charge of reproduction, life, death and rebirth in Aztec mythology. In Aztec, soqite means flowers.
