The Villain Knight Doesn't Want to Be a Hero

"Most of the time was spent on meaningless dodging, 90% of the attack opportunities were wasted, and even then I didn't completely dodge..."

He mercilessly listed the mistakes Lin Qiao made in the battle.

Even if he hadn't been looking around when dodging, he would have been accidentally blocked at a corner, and would have ended up with no way to escape and could only rely on brute force.

Then this game of chase may have to continue for quite some time.

To be honest, A2 felt that even when he first came out of the factory, he could beat up ten Lin Qiaos with one hand.

And even so, Lin Qiao's fighting style was the kind that relied on his thick skin and flesh to forcibly grab the opponent and not let go, and finally used the method of exchanging injuries to exhaust the wild boar to death.

Anyone who changes vitality weakness must be sent on the spot.

“… Was my performance just now so disgraceful?”

"It's worse than you say."

A2 shook his head. If he had used this rough fighting style, he would not have been able to hold on until now and would have died at the hands of the mechanical lifeforms long ago.

——But this also indirectly shows how tough this guy is.

Perhaps the only thing worth praising is that this guy had the courage to face the enemy head-on instead of just running away... although this is similar to those mechanical lifeforms who only knew how to die.

When he wanted to say something else, his eyes fell on Lin Qiao's hands soaked in the water.

There were many long wounds on it, and several nails were cracked in the middle.

At the same time, some red liquid flowed down from Lin Qiao's forehead and dripped into the water. There were also some dark lumps condensed from it nearby.

Is that something called "blood" in the human body?

"Are you... okay?" he asked uncertainly.

The body structure is similar to that of an android, but completely different from that of an artificial human. Obviously, it cannot be repaired by simply replacing parts.

It is also because of this that it is difficult for A2 to assess Lin Qiao’s current injury.

"Uh, should... maybe... be okay?"

Lin Qiao was also a little uncertain and looked at the scabs on her body.

"Although some parts haven't healed completely, most of the wounds have healed. It will probably be done in a few hours...right?"

If he can grow a new heart in a little over half a day, then these injuries on his body shouldn't be a big deal, right?

And although the pain in my body was not too severe - it just looked a little miserable.

"Can I ask you a somewhat...personal question?"

There was a rare hint of hesitation on her face, or some other expression that was hard to describe.

"Personal question?"

"Yeah." A2 nodded, then looked at Lin Qiao with his ice-blue eyes.

"I want to know what it feels like to die."

"Ah this..."

Lin Qiao was speechless for a moment.

I originally thought that the other party would ask some questions related to the human world, but I didn't expect that the question would be so sharp right from the start.

To be honest, this question is really difficult to answer.

Seeing his expression, A2, knowing that he had asked a question that he shouldn't have asked, also shook his head.

Letting others recall such things, if you think about it carefully, you are pretty stupid.

"Forget it, just pretend I never asked."

"No, it's not that I don't want to answer, but I don't know how to describe that feeling to you..."

Taking her hand out of the stream and shaking off the remaining water on it, Lin Qiao's face showed a trace of reminiscence but with a rather complicated tone.

"After all, the accident happened quite suddenly, and I died quite quickly, so it was over without any preparation..."

"Isn't that bad?"

"Well, it can't be considered a bad thing... At least compared to dying after experiencing so much pain, it is lucky in some way."

Not to mention that compared to other people who died directly and had no place to seek justice, he still had the opportunity to participate in the resurrection match, which was a good thing in every sense.

——It would be better if all this didn’t come at the cost of death.

"In short, from my personal experience, my brain went blank for a short time, and then my body started to ache, and I knew nothing. Then I woke up in your world. Fear and other things were only felt afterwards - but you can just ignore the latter part."

"The process may be a bit like a painful sleep, or like shutting down your artificial humans, but you won't wake up."

That's it...

Although A2 got the answer from Lin Qiao, his expression did not change much... but the image of his former partner seemed to flash before his eyes.

Did Number Four and the others feel the same way at the time?

"Thank you...Lin Qiao?"

"Nothing. If you're not used to it, you can just call me Qiao."

It feels even weirder.

However, A2 did not express any rejection or other opinions.

"What are you going to do after you're resurrected?"

"After that..."

Lin Qiao pinched her chin, which was covered with stubble.

"If I could, I would probably first seek revenge on the person who hit me to death, and then enjoy life, right?"

But these were just his wishful thinking.

The system only told him the rules of the battle royale. As for what would happen after he won, he had no idea.

The winner will naturally know it, and the loser doesn't need to care - maybe that's what it means.

"But by the way, what about you, A2?"

Looking at the white-haired mannequin who had sat next to him at some point, Lin Qiao asked knowingly.

The latter clenched his fists and said, "Kill the mechanical life forms, and then take revenge on the headquarters!"

it is as expected.

"But don't you think this kind of life is too sad?"

Lin Qiao's throat moved...but in the end she didn't say the words.

I remembered the scene at the end of the game when A2 looked up at the sky and said goodbye to the world - that look was so sad and heartbreaking.

It is impossible to just ask the other party to give up hatred.

He thought that his charm was not so great that he could dissolve the hatred in the other person's heart with just a few words... He was also said that he did not want to do that.

Those who advise others to be magnanimous will be struck by lightning.

It was like if someone advised him to forgive the female driver who killed him, he would definitely slap that person in the face first.

But at the same time, Lin Qiao didn't want to just sit back and watch her end up in a situation that could almost be described as self-destruction.

"So, what do you want to do after you take revenge on the headquarters?" Lin Qiao asked tentatively as he moved closer to A2.

"After revenge?"

"Yes, what do you want to do next?"

"..."

What happened after that...?

Chapter 9: Time is running out (4k)

A2 fell into deep thought, some data seemed to flash in his ice-blue eyes, and then he shook his head.

"I haven't thought about it, and there's no point in that kind of thing."

Whether she has never thought about it or dares not to think about it, I am afraid even she herself may know the answer.

"It still has some meaning... For example, it can at least make your life a little more exciting, so that your life is not completely overshadowed by revenge."

"So what's the point?"

A2 believes that the only meaning of his life is to kill as many mechanical life forms as possible and to avenge the headquarters.

Chapter 10 The End is Near

No more nonsense.

The two of them each put on a dusty cloak and set off.

The place A2 mentioned is not too far away, and an hour and a half is more than enough... provided that you don’t meet other travelers on the way.

Fortunately, because I followed her advice, everything went unusually smoothly.

Moreover, because they had been wanted by YoRHa, and as combat-type androids, infiltrating behind enemy lines was a basic skill for them, not even the mechanical life forms discovered them along the way.

Lin Qiao was holding an AK picked up from the roadside, which made it look more like one.

Although it's a long detour, the most important thing is to avoid these two things from causing trouble.

The green vegetation is disappearing...

The further away from the city center, the more obvious the signs of desertification become.

And when you walk out of the ruins formed by the wreckage of the city, all signs of civilization have completely disappeared, leaving only a piece of yellow sand.

If the forest area with the most abundant water resources gave people an endless green scene, then what they entered was a forbidden zone for life.

And just after stepping into the desert, the already hot temperature around them rose to a higher level.

Because the Earth stopped rotating and revolving and was exposed to sunlight 24 hours a day, the yellow sand on the ground became so hot that the high temperature even distorted the light.

The wind blowing in the face from time to time makes the cloak on the body "pattering" sound continuously, and even causes a sandstorm.

If you open your mouth to breathe at this time, you will definitely be fed a mouthful of food.

"A2, are you okay?"

He pulled the cloak wrapped outside his body, but it was blown backwards by the wind.

Use spider silk to secure the cloak, trying not to expose the red, unusual armor underneath.

Such an environment is nothing for him, but it is a big deal for an android like A2.

"It's okay. When YoRHa-type androids were produced, they had already taken into account all possible extreme environments... As long as they're not in water, there won't be any problems anywhere else."

Wearing high heels, A2 did not sink into the sand. She walked steadily on the desert surface and answered calmly.

But actually it doesn't matter even if it's in the water.

There is a big difference between artificial electrical appliances and ordinary electrical appliances. They will not short-circuit when exposed to water.

Their hard body structure, even the older models, can withstand the pressure of relatively deep sea water.

...The only drawback is that since most of the body is made of metal, there will be considerable problems with weight.

To put it simply, it will sink directly.

The two walked all the way to a tightly closed door, which was covered with rust and had obviously experienced countless storms.

A2 pressed the button next to the door several times, but there was no response.

So he simply punched it, and then the heavy rusty iron door opened immediately.

"I'll go in and check first. If there's no one else inside in twenty minutes, I'll come and let you know."

As for if he didn’t come back… then the answer is self-evident.

A2 did not give Lin Qiao a chance to express her opinion. As she walked into the iron gate, he pounded his fist on a button inside, and the iron gate closed again.
