Chapter 28: Beautiful Bell

"What on earth are you hating, Ling?"

"Or is it that even you yourself are no longer able to figure it out?"

Lin Wei's tone was extremely confused and full of curiosity, as if he was really exploring a problem that had puzzled him for a long time.

"..."

"……Ah!"

"Why, Lin Wei, you used your sweet words to deceive Hua, and deceived that Yaezakura, are you trying to deceive me again now?"

The Herrscher sneered, thinking that Lin Wei was simply unreasonable. Looking at that harmless and puzzled expression, she couldn't help but feel a burning poisonous fire rising in her heart, making her feel like she wanted to tear his hypocritical and hateful face into pieces in the next second!

What's even more annoying is that she'd already torn it off once, and it proved to be useless.

This makes me even more angry!

"You have read my memories, Ling. You should know that everything I said is true." Lin Wei's smile became more sincere.

"you!"

The Herrscher was so angry that she couldn't speak. She felt that she had been cheated again.

With a lot of resentment stuck in his heart and nowhere to vent it, the Herrer felt like he was being bullied by this abominable guy in front of him.

Who is this?

She glared at Lin Wei fiercely, with a look of unwillingness - even though her dark face couldn't reveal anything.

Nothing has gone well for me in the past five hundred years!

Yae Sakura and Kallen are fine, since the Oath of Judas is powerful, just seal it back, at least there is still Yae Sakura to play with slowly;

After waking up again five hundred years later, the three girls he met were quite formidable. Each of them looked delicate but each one was more ruthless than the other. Moreover, he was indeed in poor condition. After five hundred years, Yaezakura's body had been worn away and was now only a shell. It was natural that he was no match for the three of them.

So, I can accept all of the above.

But who are you, Lin Wei?

He was just an ant who was taking advantage of Hua's power and bullying others! How dare he plot against me?

Who gave you the courage?

When we were in Changkong City, if I hadn't been a little confused by the information you said, and then hadn't had time to think about it because of Lin Wei's sudden threat of death, would I have been able to let you succeed so easily?

Despicable bastard, he was really cruel to himself!

The more the Herrscher thought about it, the angrier he became. The angrier he became, the more he gritted his teeth. The more he gritted his teeth, the more he wanted to tear the bastard in front of him to pieces.

But the more she wanted to tear this bastard to pieces, the more frustrated she became...

Because she really couldn't do anything with Lin Wei.

How did things come to this?

It doesn’t matter in the real world. With Hua protecting me, I can’t do anything to you. It’s just my bad luck. I accept it!

Now in the space of consciousness, you have escaped from Hua's protection. I will let you know what cruelty is and what it means that an ant is an ant. I will teach you step by step how to put away your unrealistic delusions!

Be thankful, ants!

But who knew that this guy, who had clearly opened his memory to me for me to read at will, could still hide a trick up his sleeve and play a trick on me?

That would be fine, these little tricks of mere mortals are nothing in front of the Ruler of Law. When he relaxes a little, he can be easily crushed by violence.

It can be considered as revenge for the arrow shot in Changkong City!

That's how it should have been.

But no matter how much I planned, I didn't expect that this guy was a complete loser. He shamelessly laid down and let others ridicule him, making his punch full of resentment as disgusting as hitting a pile of defense...

Now even the memories themselves are a trap!

How can there be such a person in the world? It's so disgusting!

The Herrer was unable to stop Sister Li again.

"Ling, don't look at me like that. I'm a human, you're a Herrscher; I'm the weak, you're the strong. There's no fairness between you and me. Didn't you always call me an ant? At least now, you have to talk to me as an equal, don't you?"

"You failed, Ling!"

Lin Wei saw that the Herrer was unwilling to give in, so she simply gave her a final blow and pointed out the current situation directly.

Since Lin Wei was eroded by Honkai energy, he has been living an extremely depressed life every day. It is the curse of death that follows him like a shadow, as well as the despair and resentment of being powerless in the face of fate.

After all, he was weak and powerless in the face of collapse, and vulnerable in front of the Valkyrie; he was even alone, with no one to whom he could confide his endless anxiety, panic, and resentment.

Because in this world, even memory is unreliable and can be read or even tampered with.

A huge sense of insecurity always shrouded Lin Wei, like the deepest nightmare, and with death approaching step by step, it had been eroding his body and mind.

This forced me, who originally only wanted to live in disgrace, to rise up and resist!

Just use the little wisdom you have, and that kind of madness that will do anything to achieve your goal!

Now, he had finally achieved his first major victory, a victory over the Herrscher that was unimaginable to others.

Yes, that's right, I was scheming and my means were despicable, my win was not glorious at all, it was even ridiculous.

But victory is victory!

Even you, the Herrscher, now have to talk to me as an equal and can no longer call me an ant!

How incredible it is that a tiny human being could achieve victory over the Ruler of the Law by his own strength!

The wine of victory was so tempting, giving people an irresistible intoxication that Lin Wei could not help wanting to indulge in it, to let go of his reason and armor, and to release the devil that was tightly bound deep in his heart.

But no, Lin Wei knew very well that he was not here to humiliate the other party.

The Herrschers themselves are extreme creatures, full of malice and resentment, and are prone to getting stuck in a rut, especially Ling, and Lin Wei is also aware of this.

The current situation was hard-won and must not be destroyed by one's sudden arrogance and complacency.

not to mention……

I'm not a good person myself, am I?

Lin Wei smiled bitterly at himself, and he really wanted to do something else.

He turned all his resentment and arrogance into a puff of smoke and exhaled it. He stroked the spear in his hand, tried to calm his heart, then apologized to the Herrscher and continued,

"I am not here to destroy you or humiliate you, Ling. From the beginning to the end, my goal has not changed. I just want to find a way to survive, that's all."

"You are a Herrscher, the Herrscher of Corrosion who destroyed civilization 50,000 years ago. You should know that humans will not let you continue to exist. You are unwilling to die like this, so you hide in the ruins of Changkong City and around Qianyu Academy and wait for an opportunity."

"You are a Herrscher who has been stranded here for 50,000 years, and I am a passer-by who wandered from outside the world and couldn't leave. We both want to find a way out for ourselves, don't we? We are not enemies in the first place."

"...Heh, Lin Wei, do you think you know me well?"

The Herrer continued to sneer. She was not a fool, and knew that Lin Wei was offering her an olive branch to ease the atmosphere, but she did not want to accept it.

How dare you think of trying to establish a relationship with the lawyer?

Lin Wei smiled casually and didn't mind the nail.

He was an unwelcome guest and had just humiliated the other party and seriously hurt the self-esteem of the Herr, so it was normal for him to be turned away a few times.

"It's just that I feel for them and have some empathy."

Lin Wei took out a new, clean piece of clothing from his closet, went to the bathroom to change his bloody clothes, wiped off the remaining "battle marks" on his body, tried to ease the atmosphere little by little, smiled and continued.

"And if you really didn't understand, Ling, you wouldn't have suffered such a big loss at my hands!"

"you!"

The Herrscher was so angry that he was speechless.

Okay, you’re awesome, you’re great, I can’t argue with you!

Once you compromise, there will be a second time, a third time, until it becomes commonplace.

Lin Wei smiled slightly. As long as the meaning was conveyed, he didn't want to appear aggressive.

Although it sounds a bit absurd for a human to be aggressive towards a Herrscher...

"Actually, what you said is not wrong. I really didn't know you before, Ling." Lin Wei then denied himself, and continued to explain before the Herrscher spoke.

"After all, we were so far apart before! Across the distance of worlds and dimensions, I only got to know a fragment of your life through a distant story. You see, this is the first time we have a real face-to-face conversation."

"But I think this is enough. Understanding is nothing more than empathy. After all, life is full of joy, anger, sorrow, happiness, separation, and reunion. Love and hate are nothing more than these things, even across a distant world. Because I saw my own shadow in you, I remembered you at the beginning; and because of this, I have the opportunity today."

At this point, Lin Wei suddenly smiled. Her smile was pure and contained no malice, but she was unabashedly happy.

"Ling, if you hadn't always been thinking about your sister, how could you have fallen into the trap of a despicable person like me?"

"Look, you have such abundant emotions and your weaknesses can be easily caught by others. You are obviously a human being like me!"

The Herrscher's heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly remembered that Lin Wei seemed to always call her "Ling" instead of "Hersher", and she felt that this guy was even more hateful.

"You guy..."

Can you please shut up? It's so annoying!

"I'm already halfway through this journey that I invited you to join me on. I've already deeply felt your true soul, which is ugly, but also incredibly beautiful. Now, I think I'm qualified to say that I understand you."

Just like the bitter tea that Yaesakura drank, Lin Wei also experienced her inner world through the resentful curse that the Herrscher had previously instilled in him.

That was a child who had been hurt by this world, sadly begging for forgiveness from the world that had hurt him.

She was extremely humble and obedient, but no one responded. Only endless imprisonment and bottomless darkness were constantly eating away at her battered soul.

Fifty thousand years, what a long time.

In the end, sadness turned into hatred, loneliness turned into resentment, and the child who once begged for forgiveness from the world became completely and resolutely hostile to this unfair world.

Even so, when she heard the news about her sister from Lin Wei, she still decided to give herself and the world another chance, which was why Lin Wei used his despicable method to seize her weakness and coerce her.

This is the tenderness and kindness engraved deep in this child's soul, which cannot be erased even by fifty thousand years of destruction.

Lin Wei sensed the beauty of Ling and therefore felt that he had an obligation to protect her gentleness and kindness.

Because she is so precious.

Because he couldn't forgive the world either!

"Beautiful lady, could you please come with me for the other half of the journey?"

Lin Wei stood up, sincerely extended his hand, and with his other hand, he put the spear behind his back, bowed slightly, and invited Ling again.

"It has been a long time since I have re-examined my inner self. Since this is a rare opportunity, can I invite you to fully appreciate the past experiences of a despicable person like me?"

"Because I also have a parting gift, and I want to use it as a blessing for this chance meeting."

The Herrer narrowed his eyes and stared at him for a long time, not understanding what Lin Wei was up to. He wanted to get angry, but couldn't, because Lin Wei's expression was so sincere and genuine that it even made him feel ashamed.

He snorted coldly and walked towards the door without saying a word.

Seeing this, Lin Wei laughed and followed.

She has such a weird personality. If she could go back to her original appearance, she would be cute, right?

Lin Wei thought with some regret.

Chapter 29: Journey Down Memory Lane

“We are forced to step onto an unexpected stage and perform an unexpected script. But we still hope to reach the ending we want.”

As soon as he started to move, Lin Wei's heart suddenly moved. He couldn't help but stop and talk to himself in a low voice.

The Herrer stopped and looked back at him, wanting to know what Lin Wei was up to.

Lin Wei smiled and didn't explain. He was really just talking to himself this time.

He stepped forward, passed the Herrscher, reached for the door handle, took a deep breath, and pushed the door open - since he was reviewing his own life, he should be the one to open it.

Then, Lin Wei never looked back from beginning to end, even though he might never have the chance to come back.

Now that you have said goodbye, don't linger on. Let go of the past and give your future self freedom.

Lin Wei has always been very free and easy. But this time, it seems that he has to dig out his not-so-long but heavy life from the depths of his memory and sort it out again?

It seems, not bad?
