I am the savior, but I am being asked by Alicia and the others to pay me back.

"Borrow a supercomputer?"

At the same time, Mei was very surprised when she received Ye Ming's request.

"To be precise, it's a supercomputer that cuts off all network connections."

"What's the reason?"

"Kill the Twelfth Herr."

Mei's eyes showed surprise for a moment, but soon calmed down.

"If possible, I hope you can submit a complete plan."

Ye Ming roughly reported his plan and the nature of the Herrscher of Erosion to Mei.

As the intellectual ceiling of the Fire Moth, she quickly understood what Ye Ming was thinking.

"But if what you said is true... wouldn't it be like sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth to use a supercomputer? Ordinary computers can also be used, right?"

"Perhaps Hua has never told you that we have a saying in our place, 'If you want to catch big fish, you need to use fragrant bait.'"

"What if it fails?"

"The most complete failure of this plan is the same as doing nothing at all."

"I understand. I need some time to think about it."

"Better hurry up."

In the following time, Ye Ming didn't know how many times Mei had thought and calculated. He just saw her taking Ling to do examinations again and again, and the lights in the office were never turned off.

You can also see researchers like Velvet and Mebius going in and out over and over again.

About a week later, Mei, with obvious bags under her eyes, finally found the anxious Ye Ming.

"I agree with your plan..."

"But you seem to be hesitant to speak?"

"Let's talk about what happened next. There's no point in mentioning it now."

It couldn't be said that Mei was keeping people in suspense. After all, she didn't say anything at first, but Ye Ming saw through it.

But one day Mei was right, there was no time to lose and there was no time to think about all those miscellaneous things.

The stage layout was very strange. The supercomputer used as bait was about the size of a bedroom, and Ling, Ying and Ye Ming were surrounded by the machine.

All the important data inside has been transferred away, and the machine has become an empty shell with computing power.

"What on earth is this...for?"

Ling, who knew nothing about the plan, was confused, but Ye Ming didn't intend to explain anything.

"Ling, what we are going to do next may make you feel painful, but I hope you can trust me and trust your sister."

After saying the second half of the sentence, Ling, who had been breathing rapidly, calmed down.

Just as Sakura refused to believe that Ling would become her enemy until her death, Ling would also believe in Sakura with all her heart.

"I'll do my best to cooperate."

"You don't need to do anything, just stay calm."

After speaking, Ye Ming nodded to Ying, and then gently pressed Ling's head with his hand.

"Ha... Huh..."

As soon as the battle plan began, Ye Ming began to sweat coldly. Seeing him trying hard to regulate his breathing, he seemed to be more nervous than Ling and Ying.

Immediately afterwards, a golden glow began to emerge, lingering around Ye Ming and Ling, and their bodies began to tremble.

“Woo…ha…”

Ye Ming's breathing became heavier and his body spasmed unconsciously, while Ling let out a wail and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Ling..."

From a while ago, there was a continuous sound of metal sounds coming from the room. It was the sound of Sakura putting her hand on the long sword, using her thumb to pry open the scabbard and then put it back in.

Of course she knew that now was not the time to take action, but seeing her sister like this and hearing her screams, her tormented heart urged her again and again.

"So... I feel so uncomfortable... I feel like I'm going to die..."

Ling, who knew nothing about the plan, had her eyes rolling up. Her skin had lost its color and she even looked a little shriveled.

At the same time, Ye Ming was in a similar condition, but his adverse reaction was much milder than Ling's.

"Although I have only retained a tiny bit of the power of restraint, it is enough to cause someone to faint and die."

After the incident of restraint, although Ye Ming was also reluctant to accept the anti-human and anti-Honkai Impact 3rd power, he still retained a part of it.

That's probably one thousandth or less, and when it's not activated, it won't have any impact on you.

This level of power naturally cannot form a barrier and can only be infused into a single target, but just like he said...

That was already a lethal dose for Ling.

"..."

For the three people present, time was like a torture consisting of every minute and every second. Under the intense torment, no one knew how much time had passed.

But the good news is that Ling's consciousness has become very vague, and her originally twitching body has become stiff like a dead person.

Ye Ming, who was pressing Ling's head, could feel that the other's body temperature was disappearing bit by bit.

Yes, this is indeed good news for the current situation.

"Ye Ming...sister..."

Ling's brain, which was no longer able to organize language and thinking, made her mutter the last fragments of her consciousness. Then, like a puppet with its strings cut, she completely fainted.

"Sakura, now!"

Ye Ming let go of Ling's body and then stepped back.

"!!!"

This is the strike that has been awaited for a long time, and it is also the strike that cannot be missed.

At that moment, adrenaline almost burst out of Sakura's body. With her eyes emitting cherry light, she wanted to use up all her skills in an instant.

In an instant, all things are ignorant.

The space around Ling was cut apart, and the time within the range also froze briefly.

The heart stopped beating, the blood coagulated, and the extremely exhausted body was on the verge of death.

In the space where time stops flowing, an illusion of death that is so real that it is hard to tell the difference between real and fake is formed.

The Herrscher of Corrosion that originally resided in Ling's body also abandoned the already "dead" culture medium.

But what surprised her was that the death of the host did not bring about an explosive effect for her. This was due to multiple factors, such as the extremely weak body and the frozen space.

Of course the most important thing is... Ling didn't really die at all.

"..."

The newly born Herrscher of Corrosion had no idea what was going on, but her instinct for survival forced her to start looking for a new place to stay.

At that moment, compared to Sakura who was emitting cold light and was extremely aggressive, and Ye Ming whose restraining power had not yet dissipated and would make the Honkai energy disappear...

The supercomputer next to me is like a Tomahawk steak sizzling in a pile of brown bread.

It's a pity that the naked eye cannot capture the scene of the Herrscher of Corrosion infecting the computer. Otherwise, one might be able to see the strange sight of the other party diving in like a bee encountering nectar.

"Is Sakura's attack over?"

Everything happened in an instant, and after that, Ye Ming immediately realized that the supercomputer around him was working uncontrollably.

The Herrscher of Erosion is using this enormous computing power to follow its instincts and multiply itself madly.

871. Don’t promise a girl something you can’t keep

"System, I'll leave the rest to you."

This is Ye Ming's final trump card, the key to treating the Herrscher of Corrosion as a target for betrayal.

From the very beginning, this complicated stage was not built for Ye Ming himself or Ying.

There is only one person in the spotlight this time, and that is the system that has always been with Ye Ming and has computing power that is beyond the reach of all other computers.

——I will let her know how insignificant she is.

The moment the system was connected to the supercomputer, all the cooling devices inside the machine began to run frantically.

The room that was about to freeze due to Sakura's power is now becoming like a boiler.

At the same time, the images on the supercomputer screen were as exciting as fireworks.

At the beginning, the original UI visual interface was like a Night at the Museum. It all "came alive", began to twist and deform, sometimes gathered together, and sometimes scattered to every corner.

Human logic cannot explain what “they” are doing, but it feels like a big free-for-all, and you can literally “smell the smoke through the screen.”

After that, the interactive interface began to collapse, leaving only a large number of numbers that began to erupt like a volcano.

From the tens of millions of combinations of 0-9, in the end only 0 and 1 are left popping out.

--boom!

With a crisp sound, the screen exploded directly, and only electric sparks and arcs could be seen.

Even though the battle situation can no longer be seen with the naked eye, the alarm sounds from various computer components still hint at a high-speed chase.

The hissing of electric current, the fluctuation of voltage, and the collapse of hardware, converted into a human battlefield, might be compared to the meat grinder of Verdun.

No, that analogy is still too conservative. If each self-reproducing individual of the Herrscher of Erosion were counted as a person, the scale of casualties would have exceeded 100 million.

"Now...what is the situation?"

Sakura, who had already sent Ling back to the infirmary, turned back. At this time, the supercomputer was seriously overloaded, and the whole room was filled with electric sparks and the unpleasant smell of plastic parts under high temperature.

"I don't know either, but... I should be winning soon."

This is actually a speculation with no objective basis at all, but it is also the truth.

The speed at which the virus is being killed has exceeded its own rate of proliferation, and it is only a matter of time before it is eradicated.

As for how he guessed it, the only explanation is that they were telepathically connected.

--I'm back.

A moment later, the system's voice appeared in Ye Ming's ears again.

——You can praise me.

That was the first time the system faced the enemy directly, and also the first time it was able to fight so vigorously.

An excitement that didn't belong to her took a long time to subside.

"You did a great job. No... I should say you are worthy of it."

——Is this what you call a sense of accomplishment? It’s pretty good.

"Haha, if it's a sense of accomplishment, then you don't have to stick to this time. Everything you did for me is a miracle that can't be replicated."

——…

"what happened?"

——I saw you touching Padu's head before, and I also wanted to try what it felt like. I thought... it would be suitable for complimenting.

"Yeah, if you had a physical body, I would really like to hug you and touch your head."

——Don’t promise girls things you can’t keep.

"Ah? But I didn't make a promise, did I?"

As soon as he said this, Ye Ming thought of the hidden meaning of the system's words.

"Or... do you want me to promise?"

——Let’s change the subject.
