The Villain Knight Doesn't Want to Be a Hero

"Don't you like this? Or did I do something wrong?"

Seeing Lin Qiao's helpless reaction, a hint of doubt flashed across Longominiard's yellow-green pupils - even the strength of his hold on her was reduced a lot.

"No, I don't hate it. In fact, I like it very much... I just didn't react to it just now."

There is no hypocrisy or pretense in pretending to be a serious person.

Lin Qiao rubbed it twice without changing her expression, then rested her head on Longominiade's thigh.

"Have I been of any help to Qiao?"

"Yes, thanks to you... Although I was shocked at first, I feel much better now."

"That's good."

Although her tone was still calm, one could tell that she seemed a little... happy?

So you, King Ailan, don't understand human nature. What does this have to do with me, Rongomyniad?

Lin Qiao turned his head slightly and looked up at Rongominyad...

But unfortunately, not only her face, but even the sky was completely obscured.

——This can probably be considered as a parasol that comes with the knee pillow...but the conditions are a bit harsh.

"Is Qiao familiar with the android called A2?"

"This... can't really be considered as such."

After hesitating for a while, Lin Qiao gave a negative answer.

Is he familiar with A2?

Although it is undeniable that the white-haired android who risked his life to save him does have a special place in Lin Qiao's heart, but then again, the two sides have only met for a few days after all, and even the words they talked about were quite limited.

And in the final analysis, he didn't even know how A2 saw him...

——If I really say how familiar I am, I am afraid I am just deceiving myself... Of course, there is no doubt that it is very important.

So Lin Qiao’s mood is very complicated now.

Longominiades sat there in silence,

Except for occasionally expressing her own thoughts or questions, she played the role of a listener most of the time.

As a listener, it is probably difficult to find someone more compliant than her.

Although the common sense from King Arthur in her brain told her that it was best to look at the other person when he/she was speaking, as a person who could not see her toes when she lowered her head, this was really too difficult for her.

However, while the two were talking, the "grave mound" originally made of rubble and concrete was also disappearing rapidly.

The buildings on both sides that were originally destroyed by artillery shells have also been restored to their original ruins, returning to the way they were when they left half a year ago.

An unknown sturdy tree stands in the middle of the open space, surrounded by blooming white flowers.

If it could rain heavily at this time, the scene would be almost exactly the same as when he left.

But despite this, the most crucial existence is missing...

"What about people?"

Rising from the supreme lap pillow of Lungominiad.

After walking around the thick tree trunk, all Lin Qiao saw was the empty tree trunk, but not the white-haired figure in his memory. He fell into silence again.

Chapter 671: Fate plays tricks on people

No.....

Absolutely not.

This open space is not very big, only about 30 square meters at most.

Apart from the tree, there was nothing blocking the view, so theoretically it was impossible to hide anywhere.

Lin Qiao's expression changed slightly.

But as the emotional switch was turned off, his emotions quickly dropped to zero - in this case, instead of venting his dissatisfaction, it would be better to calm down and think about what was going on.

There is no doubt that everything here, including the two buildings that were previously blown up, has been restored to the state it was in half a year ago by him using the power of time reversal.

But despite this, there is no A2 here...

In this situation, there is only one answer Lin Qiao can get.

"——Who on earth is so mean?"

Lin Qiao bared her teeth, and the words almost popped out from between her teeth.

All he can do with his time travel is to restore destroyed objects to the state before they were destroyed...but the prerequisite is that there must be something.

If you simply turn back time to a place where an object or a person has been and want to summon them back, it is impossible to do so.

Unless he directly captured the entire corresponding time segment...but strictly speaking, this no longer falls into the category of time reversal.

And most importantly, to do this, we need to find the correct node in Neil's world timeline...

In other words, he had to sort out the extremely chaotic timeline again.

In a sense, doing this can be very torturous - of course, he would definitely do it if it was really necessary.

But let’s get back to the topic.

Since A2 is still missing after time reversal, it is probably because her body is no longer in this open space, so Lin Qiao's time reversal has no effect on her - after all, even the object of the effect does not exist, so his ability naturally cannot be exerted.

Otherwise, even if A2's body was blown into pieces by a shell, it would be restored to its original state.

In this regard, the mechanical life form that was also restored but became the object of Lin Qiao's discovery is the best object of proof.

So, who is so naughty?

"Coincidentally, is this footprint considered normal?"

However, just when Lin Qiao was about to force herself to have an experience like the one in Changyou Burning Money 2, she was going to sort out Neil's timeline and think about how to rescue him.

The reassuring and calm voice of Longominiard sounded from behind, temporarily interrupting Lin Qiao's thoughts.

but......

'footprint?'

Lin Qiao looked in the direction that Rongominiade pointed.

And there, a row of somewhat obvious footprints were left on the open space that had become moist after time went back.

——Judging from the shape, it should look like women’s high heels.

And after comparing it with the soul shadow of Rongominiad, you will find that the footprints on the ground are much deeper... This also proves that the other party's weight is undoubtedly much heavier than Rongominiad, who is an ordinary person.

——According to preliminary calculations, the opponent's weight is about 140 kilograms.

If it were a human, it would probably be a 300-pound tank wearing a pair of size 36 high heels...

But I don’t know whether to say it’s fortunate or regrettable. Human beings in this world have become extinct, so such a possibility is almost impossible.

Then there is only one answer - artificial humans.

Or the android in the YoRHa series who likes to fight in high heels.

After all, the resistance forces, who are also androids, are completely focused on practicality due to insufficient logistics, and it is almost impossible for them to be equipped with such flashy things that are not conducive to operations.

Not to mention that apart from Lin Qiao and the others, there were only a few traces left around... This was obviously inconsistent with the resistance forces who liked to travel in groups for safety reasons.

Snapped--!

Lin Qiao snapped his fingers crisply, and the next moment the time around him began to flow backwards again.

The high-heeled shoe prints on the mud ground that extended to the outside of the open space also began to retreat step by step... and finally retreated to the big tree under the open space.

If Lin Qiao remembered correctly, the place where the footprints first appeared seemed to be the location where A2 was placed?

Fast forwarding time again, the footprints in front of us began to appear from under the big tree.

It can be seen that the owner of the footprints paced around for a while, and after a brief pause and panic, he quickly left towards the outside of the open space.

Then.....

Time went back again and began to flow once again.

As if she was unwilling to give up, Lin Qiao watched this simple, even monotonous scene over and over again several times before she finally stopped.

The footprints in front of me walked out from the original place again and again, and returned to this place again.

Although this was all she could see, Lin Qiao could probably already understand the truth of the matter.

"This is really..."

Lin Qiao pinched her chin with a strange expression and was speechless for a moment.

Things are getting a little weird...

——A2 is still alive.

Let’s not talk about other things for now, this point alone is almost certain.

Judging from the time, it was probably the day after the preliminaries ended and he left this world, and A2 was resurrected from his original core-damaged state for unknown reasons.

And judging from the way she walked away so briskly, someone who didn't know would have thought she had a maintenance visit...

Is the technology of artificial humans so outrageous?

Can that core repair itself?

Lin Qiao didn't understand, but was greatly shocked.

However, although some unexpected situations were predicted at the beginning, such as resurrection being quite difficult, to be honest, this situation was completely beyond Lin Qiao's expectations.

——Although in the end it’s a good thing that A2 is still alive.

But how should I put it? The surprise came too suddenly, so that all the preparations I had made were wasted. This feeling...

Well, Lin Qiao remembered that when she was a class representative, she would hand in homework to the teacher after the winter and summer vacations.

——I worked hard to type in a whole book, and even worked hard the night before the deadline. But after I handed it in, the teacher didn’t even look at it and threw it into a corner to collect dust.

Good thing, but...weird!

"But it's good that the guy is still alive..."

After a long silence, Lin Qiao sighed with relief, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

Chapter 672 Chasing the Past

Yes, although it was not what I expected, the most important thing was that the other party was still alive.

Everything else is insignificant in the face of these.

It would be better to say that A2 is useless because it was really good that he died once to save him.

But the only regret is that the meeting time may be delayed a little...

After all, without reading the timeline, if he wants to find the other party, he can only rely on his own investigation.

——As for the timeline of Neil, a money-burning game, Lin Qiao would try not to touch it if possible.

...In a sense, Lin Qiao could understand why those poor workers in the Time Management Bureau wanted to quit their jobs.

Just thinking about dealing with something that looks annoying makes my scalp tingle...

Not to mention the newly joined build, and Wang Xiaoming who makes trouble from time to time and puts on a theatrical show. There are nearly twenty world timelines to sort out, and Lin Qiao really can't imagine how busy they are.

But let’s get back to the topic.

Thanks to Rungominiad's reminder, Lin Qiao realized the problem early.
