I'm not Yingjie

"So, what do you want from me?"

"Can you teach me how to process information like you do?"

"..." Ling looked at her in surprise, and then said without hesitation, "Okay."

Help humanity.

For the first time, Zero didn't think about why this happened.

Chapter 65 Three People

"Interesting, the idea of ​​a giant robot?" Mei pushed her glasses and wrote something on a piece of paper. It was a few fantastic ideas she had after discussing with Zero. "It's a fictional product that often appears in science fiction works. However, I think that making weapons in human form is a limitation and will reduce efficiency."

Zero crushed the coffee can and threw it into the trash can. "But giant robots usually don't deal with humans, so versatility is also a factor to consider."

"A giant monster? Humanoid form can also boost the morale of the troops. The gods in ancient legends and myths are mostly humanoid for a similar reason. What's the name?"

"Titan."

"Is this also a mythical race?"

Both people use only a few words in each sentence, but they are able to accurately convey the desired message.

After Zero and Mei's first communication, they seemed to have a close relationship. Mei was not as reserved in front of Zero as she was in front of others, and Mei also got used to Zero's indifference towards everyone equally.

This is a strange combination. Ling is not liked by others, while Mei Shao is friendly to others, but they get along exceptionally well.

Of course, this also depends on how you define "harmonious". If you regard Zero's cold tone and his quirk of never showing his facial expression as his normal behavior, then he is still quite easy to get along with.

"Assuming that it is technically possible to create such a complex Titan, the biggest obstacle is energy." Mei discussed this almost joking topic with a serious attitude, "An energy source with strong plasticity and high utilization rate. From the current energy form, there is no energy source that meets these conditions."

Ling pinched his elbow: "Is it possible..."

"You can try to think about it. In fact, there are quite a lot of energy-related problems being raised in academia. It may not be a fantasy to create a Titan in this era."

"……maybe."

After the bell rang, Ling opened his book and pretended to be listening to the class.

The discussion with Mei was not intended to do anything. It should be said that Zero had no purpose. It was only after Mei became quite interested in this aspect that he occasionally discussed similar issues with her.

He himself didn't even realize that he was fulfilling Mei's wish invisibly.

"Today, a classmate will transfer to our class..."

The first sentence the teacher said after entering the classroom caused a discussion in the class, but Ling and Mei didn't pay attention to it. They were both thinking about some problems, so when the transfer student walked to the right side of Ling to the cheers of the girls in the class, he finally reacted.

Fortunately, the other party's attention was not on him.

"Wow..." The white-haired boy's attention was attracted by the quiet black-haired girl the moment he entered the classroom.

He couldn't wait to pat Mei from behind, showing his two rows of white teeth and smiling, "Hello, my name is Kevin, and I'm your classmate from today. Can I ask your name? By the way, can I also ask your contact information? Oh, and I'd also like to ask if you have a boyfriend..."

Even when he was caught absent-minded in class and Mei awkwardly rejected him, he did not get discouraged, but instead asked for her information after class.

This made Mei feel a little embarrassed and troubled, as she had never experienced anything like this before.

Until Zero stopped him.

"If you have any questions, you can ask me." Ling said to him calmly.

But after saying this, Zero left the classroom directly without giving Kevin a chance to ask him anything.

"Haha, ignore them, they are just two freaks." The other students seemed to have a special liking for this cheerful and handsome new boy, and advised, "That Mei reads all day long, he is just a nerd, and he doesn't associate with anyone except Lin. Lin is even more weird, he was nosy when he entered school and knocked someone unconscious, and he looks at everyone as if they are enemies, no one wants to get close to him, but it's a good thing that there are so many freaks."

They also said this for Kevin. Mei and Ling were like two ghosts in the class, and it would be unfortunate to associate with ghosts.

The will of the group can often determine the will of the individual.

But their words had the opposite effect on Kevin.

"This is really..." Kevin stared blankly at the direction where Ling left, "It's so unique."

……

"Hello, I'm Kevin, let's be friends."

Zero rarely feels puzzled by a person's abnormal behavior, but when Kevin appeared in front of him with his big white teeth and said the above lines, he was "rarely" confused.

He said that to Kevin simply because Mei was not good at dealing with other people, so Zero was serious with Kevin, who had a hundred thousand questions in his mind, and told him to ask him any questions instead of disturbing Mei, and he also went out to wait for Kevin.

But Kevin didn't come to see him, and the next day, the above scene happened in the corridor.

friend?

Zero would know the meaning of this word. Using the common definition, he was a person without friends.

Zero ignored Kevin. He didn't want to make friends, and there was no need to.

So Zero walked around Kevin, lowered his hood, and continued on his way.

But what he didn't expect was that this was just the beginning.

"Lin, let's be friends." Kevin poked his head out from the desk.

"Long time no see, my dear friend. We meet in the bathroom by chance." Kevin poked his head out from the toilet.

"Hey, buddy, I'm in trouble. Can you lend me yesterday's homework so I can copy it?" Kevin poked his head out on the way to school with a serious look on his face.

"..."

Zero couldn't help but admire his tenacity. When it came to pestering, Kevin was definitely the most proficient person he had ever seen. Whether it was his relentless pursuit of Mei or Zero's request for friendship, he had shown amazing effort... If he had put one tenth of this effort into studying, he wouldn't be at the bottom either.

Gradually, Mei got used to having a sunny boy who was different from her around her, but Ling didn't. He still maintained his original appearance and kept to himself.

However, after he was finally caught by surprise by Kevin again, Zero planned to ask the boy who seemed different to him.

"Why did you choose me?" Ling tore open the bread bag. This time, the bread inside was soft and fragrant fried noodle bread. Kevin bought it for him when he bought lunch. "You should have heard that I am a freak. They are not wrong. I am indeed an outlier in character and spirit."

"Hmm? What else do you need to make friends for?"

Kevin, who was eating fried noodles and bread in big mouthfuls, scratched his hair in confusion.

Chapter 66: The Birth of the Sixth Herrscher?

"Why are you here..."

Hun's eyes trembled slightly, and he retreated helplessly, afraid to see the person in front of him and avoiding his sight.

She was determined that for Lin's wish to protect humanity and for her own wish to not see more people die, her will would not change even if Lin himself denied her.

But when this person appeared in front of her again, and that familiar gaze came from behind the helmet, she inevitably wanted to escape.

A sense of fear took root in her heart.

But soon, another emotion took over her mind.

"Why do you have to care whether it's heads or tails?"

However, Lin did not notice her abnormality, or perhaps... he simply did not care.

He raised his head and stared at the coin falling in the air, as if he was equally attracted by its front and back sides.

"I've always wanted to see you..."

Lin lowered his head, and the dim viewing window was like an opaque mirror, reflecting Hun's forced smile.

"Lin... I have done a lot of bad things..." Her fingertips trembled, and her whole body was suppressed by the emotion. She smiled palely, wanting to show Lin her smiling face, "But I did this because I don't want to see the people around me die again, to end the chaos of the Fire Moth, to make those scum who used the soldiers atone for their sins, and to realize your wish... I know you will definitely oppose me, because you are that kind of person..." (Monthly fee group 694936135)

"So I'm sorry..."

"When did I become like this..."

Bean-sized tears kept flowing out with rapid breathing, blurring the figure of the person in front of him.

"But it will be over soon... I will make sure those who died died for a good cause. No one will die on the battlefield. The time when people die under foolish orders will soon come..."

"Please, wait for me a little longer..."

Hun didn't know what she was saying. Her words were incoherent and she blurted out the emotional words in her mind in a chaotic manner. She never wanted Lin's forgiveness from the beginning to the end.

If only for a moment, the phantom could nod to her, affirm her...

"what are you saying?"

The man in the helmet asked calmly to her who was about to go hysterical.

"I……"

"Do you know him well?"

"..."

All the words seemed to be stuck in my throat, I couldn't say anything.

An indescribable feeling spread from the depths of my heart.

The "man" wearing the helmet put his hands on his helmet and said slowly, "You said you want to fulfill his wish, right? Do you understand him?"

"Of course I know him! He told me his thoughts, his will, that we carry the dead..."

"Yes, you carry the ideals of the deceased. You also said that you would let the deceased die a worthy death, but you...haven't you betrayed the ideals of the deceased?"

"..."

"You say you understand him, but you do what he hates the most, so do you really know what he is thinking?"

"……Do not."

"Don't you even know what he looks like, his past, or anything about him?"

The "man" took off his helmet.

On that face beneath that helmet...there was nothing.

Eyes, nose, mouth... everything is gone. There is only blankness, only "nothing".

The same emptiness as her soul.

"You're just being self-satisfied."

The flesh on that person's face squirmed, and in Hun's confused eyes, it turned into...

she was.

Exactly the same face, exactly the same posture, even exactly the same fear.

However, the "soul" in front of him quickly restrained the expression on his face.

Finally, she looked at the soul that was the same as hers and gently raised the corners of her mouth.

"But this is fine."

"You don't want anybody to die."

“I want to defeat death.”

"You want to defeat Honkai."

"We will definitely be able to...protect the people around us."

……

"Lin, there are two pieces of bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"

When Lin was about to board the transport plane, a sudden call from Spasi made him stop boarding and answer the call instead.

The first sentence was full of urgency without any joking intention.

"..."

"It seems that you are not in the mood to listen to my nonsense, so I will make it short. First of all, the assassination of the high-level officials in the headquarters that I explained to you before has been resolved."

"Has it been resolved?"

"Rather than saying it was solved... it's better to say it was an end. Dr. Einstein discovered the mastermind and successfully stopped his plot. But then some members of the Fire Moth rebelled, and a large number of members and senior leaders died. Fortunately, Dr. May sent out Titans in time to suppress the rebellion."

"..."

High-level officials, conspiracy, betrayal... these all coincide with the thoughts of someone in his gradually recovered memory. Lin remained silent, but he had already determined in his heart who the mastermind was.

The man whose face was blurry in his memory, the man who called himself "Lin" and gave this name to Zero.

"So there's no point in you rushing back to the headquarters. The second bad news is... the mastermind has escaped capture. According to surveys, he is heading in our direction on a transport plane bound for the Fifth Branch."
