The Villain Knight Doesn't Want to Be a Hero

It is true that this is his starting point, and many things happened here that he cannot forget even after more than ten years. However, the reason why the memory is so beautiful is only because of the people in it, not the scenery...

After all, no matter how beautiful the scenery is, sooner or later you will get tired of it.

As for the feeling that after humans disappear, the earth will become so vibrant and full of life...

In fact, after the Earth stopped rotating, the two extreme environments on the sunlit side and the shady side had caused most of the creatures on Earth to die.

However, Lin Qiao didn't have any extra thoughts about these nonsense.

Although according to his original plan, he should have arrived at the intended destination by now.

But what I didn't expect was that something unexpected happened during this process...

“…”

Looking around, all I could see were weeds all over the ground and huge trees that were so tall that they pushed through the reinforced concrete buildings.

There was no reaction of any life or energy.

The only things that can move are the mechanical life forms that seem to be refreshed every day.

Even from the perspective of the soul, everything around him does not have the ability to think for itself... In other words, he is the only one here.

"But I always feel like someone is spying on me from behind..."

Lin Qiao stopped, turned around and muttered to himself.

And the moment he turned back, this subtle feeling disappeared...

Is it his imagination?

No, there is absolutely no such possibility.

In other words, when this feeling suddenly disappeared at that moment, Lin Qiao had already confirmed that this was not his illusion.

"Are they artificial people?"

The moment this thought came to mind, Lin Qiao denied it.

Even though he just glanced back casually and didn't show his real ability, he was able to avoid his reverse tracking, which was not something they could do.

——You have to know that when it was Type-Moon, Goetia launched the Human Burning and caused the timeline to change, but he couldn't hide it from him.

....And conversely, this is also the important reason why he was able to perceive it just now.

Compared to satellite observation or voyeurism, the other party's method of observing him is more specific, similar to surveillance across time and space...

It was just like how he had gotten free use of the replacement magic of the Endsworth family in another world line.

It was precisely this kind of fluctuation in time and space that made him, who also possessed the power of time and space, realize that something was wrong at the first moment.

The fact that he was able to shake off his pursuit afterwards proved that he was an expert in this area.

"Is this world so deep?" Lin Qiao smacked her lips.

When I first played the game, I thought it was just a simple war between androids and machine life forms, with a little bit of humanity mixed in.

But now it seems that there may be existences similar to the Observers in Marvel in this world.

However, despite this, Lin Qiao didn't take it too seriously.

Although he was still not sure what the true identity was, just now after he used his time and space ability to take a look in the opposite direction, the other party was very tactful and did not continue to peek.

To be honest, this aroused Lin Qiao's curiosity a little...but that was all.

Not everything needs to be thoroughly investigated.

At least if it wasn't necessary, he didn't want to provoke an unknown being that could control time.

No need.

Not only is it a thankless task, the most important point is that he is too lazy to investigate and look through the timeline of this world...

It can’t be said to be lazy, in fact it is still a thankless task.

The time in NieR's world is a bit messy...

——Well, to put it bluntly, it’s just too fucking messy!

I didn't have the ability to predict time during the qualifiers so I couldn't feel it, but now that I have it and have gotten used to predicting the future, I realize that the timeline of this world is really messed up.

In fact, the level of chaos is even higher than that of the Type-Moon world, which is currently experiencing a human incineration and will soon face a human freezing.

For example, Type-Moon's timeline is like a ball of wool rolled up together. Although it looks messy, you can still move forward by following a thread and untangling the tangled parts.

But Neil's world is completely different.

Although it is still a ball of yarn, the timeline of NieR's world feels like several balls of yarn twisted together, and it is so difficult to separate that it is outrageous.

Even when you follow it down, you will find that this thing actually has forks! ?

And it's not just one or two lines!

It's not completely impossible to figure out, but it feels like watching a five-minute video but then having to watch a 120-second commercial; or when your favorite mobile game has a sequel and your wife's portrait is even better, but you click on it and find out it's the second installment of the game that cost you a lot of money.

It's not impossible to endure it, but... there's really no need to torture yourself.

In a sense, this is also the reason why he failed to catch up with his opponent before.

This chaotic timeline is an obstacle for him, a newcomer, but on the other hand, it is the best cover for the other party.

——Anyway, Lin Qiao can’t swallow this shit.

Not only that, the air here is vaguely filled with some strange stuff...Although it is relatively rare, it does exist.

If Lin Qiao remembered correctly, these things seemed to be called magic elements?

——But he can eat this thing.

"I don't know how long it has been since I last left this world...System?"

[The current time node is 167 days and 12 hours after the qualifiers. ]

"Almost half a year..."

Lin Qiao muttered to herself that this period of time was neither long nor short.

To be honest, he thought the system would send him back to the time when the preliminaries just ended...

It seems that next time when teleporting, I have to be careful to agree on the time in advance to avoid any unexpected problems.

Following the route he remembered, Lin Qiao walked towards the open space where the first artificial man he had ever seen was sleeping and where a whole field of white flowers called "Tears of the Moon" were blooming, with a certain joyful mood.

Then, uh...

“…”

Looking at the scene in front of him, Lin Qiao fell into silence.

Eliminate the possibility of memory errors causing getting lost.

What I saw was not the open space full of white flowers on a rainy day with a thick tree growing in the middle as I remembered.

The buildings on both sides of the original open space were severely damaged, and one of them collapsed completely.

Many bomb craters and the remains of mechanical life forms are scattered on the surrounding ground, telling of the fierce battle that once took place here.

As for the open space between the two buildings, it was a garbage dump completely covered with rubble and concrete.

From a distance it looks like an oversized grave mound...

Chapter 670 Where are the people?

Taking out the Rongominiad, Lin Qiao shot a small mechanical life form that pounced on him through with one shot.

Then, he casually threw away dozens of mechanical life forms that were attracted from afar.

boom!

As an explosion sounded in the seemingly peaceful city, a group of strange-looking mechanical life forms that looked like a ragtag army were instantly blown away.

If it was an ordinary flesh and blood body, it would be half-crippled even if it didn't die, but mechanical life forms require a strong body and can withstand beatings.

——If the core is not attacked, they can continue to move.

In just the next second, before these mechanical life forms could get up from the ground, Lin Qiao aimed the tip of the holy spear at them.

A golden ray shot out from the tip of the gun.

boom!

As the bright light swept past, dozens of mechanical life forms of the most common models were instantly destroyed.

Although other mechanical life forms might be attracted by the movement here and come here one after another, at least Lin Qiao can have a little peace and quiet for now.

Just at this moment, a burst of golden particles emanated from the holy spear in Lin Qiao's hand.

Countless golden particles quickly gathered behind Lin Qiao and formed a hot human figure - this was the shadow of Rongomyniad's soul.

I just think that compared to when she was first seen naked, her clothes now are no different from the Lion King that Ritsuka and the others saw at the sixth singularity.

"You don't seem to be in a very good mood?"

Standing behind Lin Qiao, Longominiard expressed his concern in a cold voice.

It's just that the tone is too calm and plain, making it sound like a statement...

But Lin Qiao doesn't hate this attribute.

"It's not that bad, it's just a little bit..."

"..."

The yellow-green pupils stared straight at Lin Qiao, causing the latter to stop speaking before he could finish his words. In the end, he could only let out a slightly helpless sigh.

"Okay, okay, I really can't get over you. I admit that I am a little annoyed..."

Lin Qiao found a decent place to sit down and scratched his head helplessly as he spoke.

And the materialized soul shadow of Longominiard also sat beside him.

He had to admit that he was a little angry when he saw the ruins before...but it was really only a little bit.

Although reading the timeline becomes quite troublesome due to the chaotic time period, other time abilities are not affected.

The ruins in front of him were not a problem at all for him who could turn back time.

In fact, while he was talking to Rongominiade, the concrete and various debris around them were flying back into the air in an inverted form.

The two collapsed buildings are also recovering to their pre-destruction appearance...but the downside is that the remains of the mechanical life forms that were previously crushed underneath have also been resurrected due to the reversal of time.

Although it is a bit annoying, it also fully demonstrates that his ability to reverse time can indeed resurrect the existence of artificial humans.

——This is a good thing.

But before Lin Qiao could finish his words, Longominiade next to him hugged him.

The soft and elastic thing had a strong sense of oppression, and buried his head completely inside...

If he still needed to breathe, he would probably feel happy and suffocated at this moment.

But unfortunately he doesn't need to breathe...so all that's left is happiness.

The wonderful and warm touch makes you want to indulge in it.

but.....

"....What are you doing?" Lin Qiao's tone was a little helpless.

Although he did enjoy it, on the other hand, he had no idea why Rungominiad chose to do this.

"From the common sense I have acquired, when someone's mood reaches a low point, it is their responsibility as a companion to help them get out of the low point."

"You are my master and user. In other words, our relationship can be considered as companions."

"Among the methods I know, hugging seems to be a common way among humans, which can effectively shorten the distance between two people..."

The two pale pink lips kept moving up and down as he gave his answer in an extremely calm tone.

There was no hint of joking in the cold female voice, as if she was thinking exactly as she was saying.

only.....
