I'm not Yingjie

……

Lin stood in the crowded crowd. The noise of the Fifth Branch members and the red sound of the alarm occupied his hearing and vision. He was hit on the right shoulder while leaning on a crutch. The crutch slipped out of his hand and he lost his balance and fell to the ground.

He used to be able to stand on one foot all day long while keeping his balance, but now even standing is a problem if he is distracted and doesn't try to keep his balance.

The person who knocked him down hurried past without even looking at him. The Sixth Herrscher was about to arrive in the city, and they had to find a way to deal with the most terrifying enemy under Honkai. They had no time to pay attention to a disabled person who was knocked down.

Lin said nothing. He picked up his crutches, got up from the ground, and walked out of the branch against the flow of people.

He accepted the Speaker's "order".

To defeat the Herrscher has always been his mission, from the second Collapse to the fifth Collapse, and even to the current sixth Collapse. Even though the missions he received were different, he would always go to the Herrscher's battlefield.

If we could defeat the Herrscher one minute earlier, perhaps one less person would die.

With this unrealistic idea in mind, he brandished his weapon in vain, facing increasingly powerful enemies.

Anyone can become a Herrscher. All the Herrschers so far are women. They all have excellent adaptability to Honkai energy. These are the only two things they have in common. Apart from that, no so-called rules can be found.

Therefore, there is the same chance that a member of the Fire Moth will become a Herrscher.

Lin had thought that the people around him would become Herrschers, and he had raised his gun countless times in his imagination, aiming at familiar faces...

Every time he would fire his gun resolutely, and after the gunshot he would watch indifferently as the blood flowed to the soles of his feet, sticky and scarlet.

Every time this happened, he would wake up with a start.

After waking up, the blood and the Herrscher's smile before his death will become clearer and more real, as if they were about to be played out before him.

Lin's heart beat faster at this moment. Not only was the burden on his body increasing the load on his heart, but there was also an unspeakable emotion pent up in his chest.

He couldn't express what it was.

Is it because he is afraid that his companions will actually become Herrschers?

no……

If this feeling is fear, then Lin is probably afraid of himself.

Because he would definitely shoot.

It was the clarity and understanding, the completeness of the dissection of the reasons for the shooting, that frightened him even more.

But Lin still didn't know if that was fear. Deep in his indifferent heart, there was no color, only monotonous black and white.

"Lin, we are going to intercept the transport plane and shoot it down with missiles after reaching the designated location. This may delay the actions of the Sixth Herrscher. Get ready."

"..."

"Do you need any equipment?" asked Spasi.

“Is there any equipment for people with only one leg?”

"..."

……

Spasi commanded the combat team of the fifth branch to go to the designated location. Most of the elite members of the Fire Moth were at the headquarters so that they could obey the headquarters' orders at any time. The combat teams of each branch were only self-defense forces, and their combat efficiency and capabilities would be much worse.

But there was no other way at the moment, he could only try to use missiles to shoot down the transport plane carrying the Sixth Herrscher.

The Speaker's heart-wrenching roar echoed in his ears, but it did not interfere with his judgment.

This is the only way to temporarily stop the Sixth Herrscher right now. We cannot risk the lives of the entire city for just one person.

It doesn't matter who that person is.

"Heh..." He chuckled.

That’s right, it doesn’t matter who it is…

A bright red beacon appeared on the command screen. Spasi's eyes fixed on it and he immediately gave the order -

"Use fission bombs!"

With an order, beacon points symbolizing missiles appeared on the screen. The dense and terrifying number of them were like bait falling into a school of fish. The fish swarmed in and opened their bloody mouths towards the bait that was isolated and helpless in the tide.

Three seconds until it hits.

However, the next moment, the transport plane, which seemed to be unable to support itself, stopped where it was and the signal disappeared.

"Oh!"

Even though he had not seen the fission bomb explosion with his own eyes, Spasi had already imagined what the situation was like at that time. The transport plane at the center of the explosion could not escape.

However, the signal of the transport plane disappearing occurred before the fission bomb exploded, which made Spasi have a suspicion, which was soon verified.

The signal of the transport plane appeared on the screen again, continuing to move at the original direction and speed.

The fission bomb did not explode, and he did not detect any heat from it, which meant that something had shot the fission bomb down before it hit the transport plane.

No, it wasn't shot down, it was "disassembled".

"Sure enough, the 'black fog' that the speaker mentioned can also corrode ordinary matter... It is simply a high concentration of Honkai energy..." Spashi did not show any panic. He could not be shaken or surprised at this moment. "But it is definitely not a simple Honkai energy. In other words, is it a manifestation of power?"

The manifestations of the power of the Herrscher are mostly strange. They are not simply manipulating natural physical phenomena, but more like a power that combines magic and science fiction. Even if we know the principles of their operation, we still cannot explore where the power comes from and how it is expressed in such an abstract form.

"The transport plane is about to arrive over the city!"

As my thoughts flowed, the beacon point had already arrived outside the city.

Spasi shook his head. There was no point in continuing to delve deeper into the matter. Only by defeating the Sixth Herrscher and taking out its core could they know the truth.

Forest……

He also knew that the Sixth Herrscher was a matter of souls. The gentle girl who lost her parents became the Sixth Herrscher.

Even so, you won't have any hesitation...

"Huh... prepare for battle."

At this moment, an accident happened.

"Dr. Spashie, the Sixth Herrscher..."

Chapter 71: Incident

"There is a problem inside Purana."

After Mei learned this from Klein, her first reaction was the "bug" in the last paradise.

Let the internal secrets come out ahead of time and come into contact with "Lin", so this time, will there be a chance to find out more information she wants to know?

So without Klein's request, Mei took the initiative to offer to help Klein investigate the paradise of the afterlife.

"Project Ashes...Trinity..." On the way, Mei frowned and sorted out the information known so far.

When the previous civilization was about to perish, it formulated several plans to continue human civilization and defeat the collapse, and gave these different plans to different people and fusion warriors to execute. Some of the known plans recorded in the Paradise of the Past and the World Serpent include Hua's Spark Plan, Kevin's Stigma Plan, and Su's Hengsha Plan.

The meaning and purpose of these plans are all reflected in their names. The Spark Project is to continue the spark of knowledge of human civilization, so the Ashes Project should also have a general meaning that can be understood through its name.

The name Ashes, plus the fact that this plan was entrusted to a memory whose main body had already died, and the "possession" incident that had just happened where Mebius wanted to use her body to go outside the paradise of the last world, Mei already had some guesses in her mind.

As the name suggests, the fire-chasing moth is a moth that chases flames, symbolizing the powerlessness of weak humans in the face of collapse, and also symbolizing humans who chase the light that will destroy themselves, so the ash should be Lin himself, or the fire-chasing moth of the previous civilization. "

Ashes that are not completely burned out can easily reignite. Whether it is Kevin and Hua in reality, or the paradise in the past, they all represent that the "ashes" of the Fire Moth have not been completely burned out.

"Can we let the memory return to reality through the paradise of the afterlife?"

This is the most likely guess.

If we ask who is the most powerful warrior in the world today, even if Mei doesn't want to admit it, she must admit that Kevin, the World Snake Lord, is the most powerful warrior against the Honkai. His strength is beyond imagination.

What if there are multiple or more people with Kevin's level of combat power?

Kevin, who enjoyed his heyday in the previous civilization, still could not escape the fate of destruction in the end, but the experience and information they left behind have become the most powerful help for the current civilization. Even Mei has imagined letting the heroes of the paradise of the past return to reality. With their strength and experience, they will surely become a huge force to fight against the collapse.

But the various issues involved are still shocking.

For example...the body.

We need to continue the search to find out whether the Ashes Project is a method that disregards morality and humanity like the Stigmata Project.

“Are we there yet…?”

Mei quickly arrived at the problem location that Klein mentioned. She had passed this place several times, and when she came here again, she did not find any problems.

Everything remained the same, even the color of the sky hadn't changed.

"Is there a problem with the teleportation anchor point?" Thinking of the last situation, Mei focused her attention on several teleportation anchor points, but the anchor points still looked normal and there was no problem at all.

"Klein, can you find out what's wrong?"

"..."

"Klein?"

Klein's lazy voice didn't sound, which instantly raised Mei's alert to the highest level. An indescribable "thing" burst out from her heart, and she almost instinctively pulled her body back to dodge -

"Oh!"

A sickle chopped down in front of her eyes from top to bottom. Her purple eyes reflected the tip of the sickle and the figure hidden in the black mist.

The end of the sickle slammed heavily into the ground. Mei retreated repeatedly. Two giant hands appeared at her side. She drew the sword at her waist and squinted her eyes to look at the "person" in front of her.

Short hair, short stature, and a feminine body.

In contrast to her petite figure, the figure was holding the giant sickle that was taller than Mei in a twisted posture, and her pair of scarlet, bloodthirsty eyes were staring at Mei, whose back was feeling cold.

Not right.

This person gave her a strange feeling. He was not the type of dead soldiers or Honkai beasts, nor was he the strange enemy she had seen in the paradise of the past. An extremely "real" texture emanated from this figure.

The death element lingered around her.

The feeling is also different from "Lin"! This figure has a strong sense of self!

"call……"

The figure didn't give him the chance to continue looking at him. He raised his hand, and the black mist on his side suddenly shrank. Then, like a spring that was stretched and then loosened, it rushed towards Meiyi in an overwhelming manner!

"boom!"

However, before she could dodge, the ground beneath her feet suddenly cracked, and a thick tree trunk grew out. This familiar scene immediately reminded her of someone outside the paradise of the past who used the abyss white flower to create a huge tree!

The branches that grew out of thin air blocked the black fog. These plants seemed to have the ability to absorb the black fog. Just by standing there, they blocked the attack of the black fog.

"despair."

A helmeted man walked out from the anchor point behind her, holding two weapons, one black and one white. The white lance was emitting a strong breath of vitality. It was obvious that this tree trunk was created by the creative ability of the white flower.

"Why are you here?" Mei was not surprised by Lin's appearance. Ever since Lin said last time that he was the executor of the Ashes Project, she knew that Lin probably had control over all the big and small things in the Paradise of the Past, all of which were for the smooth implementation of the Ashes Project.

“…It was an accident.”

But what Lin said surprised her.

This was the first time Lin said the word "accident".

"This is something that shouldn't exist in the Paradise of the Past..." Lin stared at the distorted figure. Hei Yuan stood in front of Mei and motioned her to step back. "There's a problem in the Paradise of the Past, Raiden Mei, you have to leave immediately."

Mei knew the seriousness of the matter could not be underestimated when she heard Lin's tone: "What about you?"

"I need to deal with this problem... or at least stop her first."

"Do you know her?" Mei heard something from his tone.

"It's not important." Lin shook his head. Seeing the black shadow who was ready to move and raised the sickle, he said in a deep voice, "Go find Alicia and tell her about this. If possible, go see Aponya... as soon as possible."

She didn't ask who Aponya was. Now was not the right time, but Mei also insisted: "Can you handle it by yourself?"

"If I can't handle it, then no one in the Paradise of the World can handle it."

As soon as he finished speaking, the black shadow disappeared from the spot, and Lin raised his hand, and the anchor point behind Meiyi instantly appeared in front of her and swallowed her.

At the last moment, Mei saw Lin inserting white flowers into the ground, and countless vines and trees sprang up...

But in an instant, it was cut in half by the chain blade of death.

She widened her eyes.

Blood filled the air.

The forest was divided into two.
