The Villain Knight Doesn't Want to Be a Hero

Although the Yoerha troops seem to be large in number, they only have over a hundred members.

——Although there are many prosthetic bodies available, and all of them can be activated when necessary to form a force of more than a thousand people, the actual number of members is indeed limited.

Including the resistance forces from all over the world, the total number of artificial humans is at most around 10,000 to 20,000.

It is indeed a very time-consuming task to shape the souls of such a number of artificial humans and create the bodies of half-blood aliens...but to be honest, it can be done in about half a month.

This is taking into account the fact that there is an 80% chance that he will slack off.

After all, as the raw material of the illusory liquid, Lin Qiao can use time acceleration to speed up the replenishment of the Endless Bottle.

One cup a day?

Just kidding, he can have a swimming pool a day if he wants.

Otherwise, how could he evolve to the peak of stage three without having eaten the entire planet?

The reason for making this choice is not only to help the androids improve their combat effectiveness.

It's more for insurance considerations.

At least compared to changing the control programs in other artificial human bodies, this connection from the physical base contract and the soul makes him feel more at ease.

Although he might have been overthinking it, the alien who was stabbed in the back by the mechanical life form had already taught Lin Qiao a good lesson.

Even if the probability of some things happening is very small, as small as winning the lottery for ordinary people, as long as the possibility exists, we still have to take precautions.

"And one more thing....."

Lin Qiao’s sight left the small black dot that completely disappeared into the sky and he turned his head to look to the other side.

"Everyone has left, isn't it time to come out?"

"!"

Hearing Lin Qiao say this, 2B, who was originally not used to Lin Qiao's arm around his shoulders, reacted instantly.

He pointed the sword in his hand, named White Contract, directly in the direction where Lin Qiao was looking, wanting to go forward to find out what was going on... but was stopped by the latter.

However, it seemed as if Lin Qiao was wrong. After a long while, no one came out from behind the abandoned building that served as a shelter.

"..."

"If you don't come out, I'll just leave."

"Wait, wait a minute!"

Seeing that Lin Qiao was about to turn around and leave with 2B, the person hiding in the dark finally couldn't sit still anymore.

He simply made up his mind and walked out from behind the cover.

"Diala and...Popora?"

2B was slightly stunned when she saw the red-haired twins coming out from behind the bunker. She was quite familiar with them during their time living in the resistance camp.

Lin Qiao also looked at the two people who came out with an interested look on her face.

"It's amazing that you two were able to hide so close to the Yoruha troops under their blockade."

Although the place where they were hiding was quite a distance away from the meeting place, it was still within the surveillance range of Yoerha's troops.

If they were really discovered, they would probably be treated as suspicious elements and killed without mercy.

"So? You two took such a big risk to come here, you shouldn't just come here to take pictures and check in, right?"

“…”

Chapter 712: Past Sins and Future Blessings

Faced with Lin Qiao's good-natured teasing, Diwala and Boppola remained silent for a while.

"Actually, we...are here to apologize."

"...Because our type of androids have committed unforgivable sins in the past..."

The twins in front of him looked depressed, and there was a hint of crying in their tone.

Their foreheads drooped slightly, and their long red hair fell due to gravity, covering their eyes, making it impossible for others to see the expressions on their faces.

Even though all relevant information has been deleted in order to keep the secret, even they themselves can't remember what happened in the past.

But under the strong sense of "guilt", after hearing that humans were going to come here, they still came here at the risk of being killed.

But when they saw that the target was Lin Qiao, their reactions were different...

“…”

Lin Qiao looked silently at Divara and Bopora who were kneeling on the ground in front of her, without saying a word.

Naturally, he sympathized with the two's experiences.

Not to mention that the mistake was made because their machines were of the same type and had nothing to do with Divara and Bopora in front of them.

The courage and sincerity of coming here at the risk of one's life just to confess the sins one has committed in the past is enough to move people.

but.....

"I'm sorry, Divara, Popola, I can't say I forgive you."

"....ah...."

The two men's mouths opened slightly, their throats moved but no sound came out, and then they revealed extremely bitter smiles.

Indeed, their sins are unforgivable.

This result is not really a surprise...or maybe they had already prepared themselves mentally before coming here.

It is enough to be able to face my sins like this.

It was just what they said, but the reality was too cruel and made them feel deeply sad.

But in the next second, Lin Qiao gently stroked the faces of the two and lifted up their lowered heads.

At the same time, he took a step back with his right foot and squatted in front of Divara and Popola, his eyes level with theirs.

In a gentle voice, he said, "To be honest, I don't hate you. Whether it was before in the resistance camp or now, I don't think you are sinners."

"But after all, I am not a native human of your world, so I am not qualified to forgive anything on behalf of the humans before me."

"But just on a personal level, I hope that you can live with your heads held high in the future, no longer bound by the guilt of the past."

"The past cannot be changed, but at least we must grasp the present and the future... This is my greatest expectation for you."

The unexpectedly gentle words made the two people's green pupils dull for a moment, but then the light of hope ignited again.

The hands caressing their cheeks exuded a kind of soothing warmth that made them feel attached and reluctant to leave.

The twin androids named "Divara" and "Popora" have never been forgiven for the mistakes they made in the past, and they will never be forgiven...

In any case, it is impossible for the humans who were completely destroyed due to the mistakes of this type of artificial humans to say "I forgive you".

But as they had all their related memories erased, they wandered on this land for many years and were ostracized by others.

From this moment on, I can finally get rid of the heavy shackles of "guilt".

Just ask yourself, is there anything happier than this?

Lin Qiao took back his hands, looked at the red-haired twins who were hugging each other and crying, and took two steps back without saying a word.

——Compared to him being an outsider, it would be better to leave the next time to the two of them...

As much as I would like to do this, unfortunately, it is not possible.

"The one hiding over there has been watching the show for such a long time. Even if he is too embarrassed to see people, shouldn't he come out and say hello now?"

Lin Qiao looked back in the direction where Divara and Popola had hidden before, but what she said startled the red-haired twins.

'Are there others following?! '

Divara and Popola looked at each other, and both could see each other's astonishment.

Not to mention that they never told anyone else about their sneaking in here, the fact that the other party was able to hide behind them was surprising enough.

"Oh my, this is really... I've been discovered~"

Just when the twins were still in amazement, a steady female voice with a hint of mischief came from behind the place where the two had been hiding.

Then, a black-haired woman wearing glasses and wearing a white uniform, a black short skirt, and over-the-knee boots came out carrying a huge aluminum box...

In some weird way of walking that seemed to ignore everyone.

"Nice to meet you. I'm Jacol, a weapons dealer."

After being discovered, she was not anxious and introduced herself calmly as the woman who called herself Yakor.

Well, Jacques...

Lin Qiao seemed to remember that he had seen this name on a promotional poster during the preliminaries a long time ago.

only....

"Stop talking nonsense. I don't think a weapons dealer can escape the search of Yoerha's troops. Even I was almost fooled."

Putting aside other things, he could become an arms dealer, or a chain store at that, in a context where the android Neil was being beaten and where he could lose manpower just by going out to collect supplies.

You can tell with your ass that the other party is not as harmless as he seems.

Lin Qiao stared at the woman in front of her... No, she shouldn't be human.

And even though the heat source level on his body was indeed similar to that of a human, there was no heartbeat or breathing movement from the moment he appeared in his sight.

Finally, let’s not talk about Jacol’s means of hiding himself.

In the previous world, Lin Qiao once achieved an effect similar to high-dimensional invisibility by stripping away his own time and space.

Although what Jacques did may be slightly different in principle, it is consistent in its fundamental nature - time.

In fact, it was largely thanks to this woman that Divala and Popola were able to avoid being discovered by Yoerha's troops.

Lin Qiao couldn't help but recall the feeling of being watched shortly after she returned to the Neil world.

"...It was you who spied on me last time, right?"

Although it was a question, Lin Qiao's tone was very affirmative.

But Jacques waved his hand to deny it.

"Peeping? No no no, please don't use such rude words. As a lady, I would never do such a thing as peeping..."

"At most, we can just observe in secret."

"..."

Chapter 713: The meaningless "reminder"

So isn't that just voyeurism?

Looking at Yakor who looked unreasonable but confident, Lin Qiao raised her eyebrows.

However, the woman wearing glasses opposite her was not aware of the situation at all.

The aluminum alloy suitcase, which looked extremely heavy, seemed as light as a feather in his hands. He even carried it with one hand as a skirt-lifting gesture, and Jacques did not show any abnormality.

Either the arm strength is amazing, or that thing uses some technology to offset the original weight.

".....So? You like to hide in the dark and observe things, so what's the matter with you appearing in front of me this time?"

“We are still observing.”

Jacol pushed his eyes open and smiled.

"Please believe me, I have no hostility towards you. All I did was just because what happened here was so interesting, so I just wanted to observe it better... and to give you a reminder."

"Reminder?" Lin Qiao frowned.

From what Yakor had just said, he roughly guessed the other party's identity.

——It’s almost similar to the Observer in Marvel.

And the other party did not hide the fact that he was peeping at the screen...
