I'm not Yingjie

Chapter 72: Vitality

The anchor point closed, and Mei's astonished expression disappeared in the air.

The black shadow's deformed posture and twisted attack movements came to an abrupt end after she cut Lin in half. Her neck was bent at an incredible angle as she looked at Lin, who was cut in half by her.

She did not attack the reality of the object.

"Lin's" body disintegrated as he fell, and the light and sound effects completed their final task and disappeared into the air, while another person rushed from behind before the light spot completely disappeared.

"despair--"

The black shadow wanted to swing the sickle again, but the man's speed was so fast that it was beyond her reaction. Before she could raise her hand, she was kicked in the back of her hand. The terrifying force caused the sickle to fly out of her hand.

A calm azure blue viewing window lit up at this moment, and Lin grabbed the shadow's head and lifted her up from the ground.

The black mist that was dissipating in the surroundings wanted to protect the black shadow at this time and attacked Lin who had captured the black shadow. But when they were halfway to gathering on Lin's body, the black abyss and white flowers combined together on his other hand emitted a dazzling white light, instantly dispersing the black mist.

After the black fog dissipated, the true face of the black shadow caught by Lin was revealed.

"..."

No one could see Lin's expression under his helmet.

He had too many surprises and doubts in the brief second when he looked into the black shadow's eyes. In the black shadow's eyes, he saw his cold and ruthless self, a man wearing a helmet and without a face.

He even had an illusion at this moment, wondering if he should sit down and talk with this person. Maybe...

Fortunately, there are not so many maybes, and there is no need to worry so much.

"bass!"

Abyss White Flower blocked the sharp claw attacking his heart, and the other claw stabbed at his face. Lin had no choice but to let go and step back.

As the distance widened, the black fog with a strong smell of death appeared again, and this time it was extremely fast, almost filling the space in a few seconds.

The sickle that was knocked away by him disappeared, and a pair of suspended red claws appeared in the black shadow's hand. Lin quickly calculated the time required for the black fog to cover the entire space, and realized that fighting in this space would probably be greatly restricted, which was too advantageous for the black shadow.

So Lin dodged the claws again and stabbed the Black Abyss White Flower into the ground. A towering tree rose up madly from the gap in the ground, tied the black shadow to the treetop with branches, and confined it to the top of the tree nearly 100 meters high.

The trees began to age and wither the moment they came into contact with the black fog. Lin knew that this was of no use to the black shadow, but it was enough for him to change the location of the battle.

The size of each space in the Paradise of the Past is different. Spaces such as laboratories, sacrificial sites, and lounges are smaller. After all, their owners are the source of memories of these spaces, and they are all relatively small.

There are even more other venues specifically used for battles in the paradise of the past.

Lin has the authority to close and open the anchor points of space, but the black shadow's actions before this ignored the teleportation anchor points, and she shuttled through various spaces like an electronic ghost. Lin only found her after she set her sights on Raiden Mei.

A teleportation anchor opened behind him and he jumped into it. Then the anchor appeared above the giant tree and swallowed the black shadow.

"Oh!"

The two of them fell together in the boundless space where "Lin" used to be. Without giving Lin much time, the black shadow immediately drew his sword and rushed forward with murderous intent.

Lin wielded his lance as if it were his own arm, blocking the attack with perfect accuracy amidst the flashes of swords and sabers. He observed the shadow's movements and abilities to see if they were the same as he remembered.

Exactly the same action.

Although the power of creation was not used, the power of withering was exactly the same except that its power was much lower.

It is basically impossible to use a fake Key of God to fight against the power of the real Herrscher, so Lin initially judged that the black shadow was just a fake Herrscher. She was almost the same as his own existence, just a memory.

But the memory of a Herrscher exists in the paradise of the afterlife, and it is impossible for him not to know this information.

And the information that he didn't know was definitely not known by other people in the paradise of the past.

So the problem lies outside the Pure Land.

World Snake? Or Raiden Mei?

Lin Waitou swung his fist and knocked the black shadow into the ground, then kicked her a hundred meters away.

No, this is most likely not a problem “right now”.

After noticing the shape of the black shadow and its seeming self-awareness, Lin ruled out the possibility that something had happened to the current civilization. The appearance of the black shadow should be related to the previous civilization. In all likelihood, additional circumstances occurred when the main body and the memory were synchronizing their memories.

A high-ranking member of the Fire Moth?

No, they cannot disturb the paradise of the afterlife.

Then it can only be... Mei?

The power of the black shadow is not at its peak, and the Black Abyss White Flower in Lin's hand is just a fake. Logically speaking, as a perfect Herrscher, Mei Raiden should be able to contribute a lot in this battle, but Lin always feels that things are not that simple.

Is there something missing?

Just as Lin was fighting fiercely with the black shadow, another figure quietly appeared behind him.

……

Where is this place?

"She" walked aimlessly on the narrow path. There are many similar paths in the amusement park. This slightly quiet path is a resting place for tourists who are ready to enjoy a moment of peace after playing.

The gravel road under her feet was bumpy, and she felt some stinging pain when she stepped on it without shoes. But after she had the concept of pain, the pain in her feet disappeared instantly.

Some bright flowers are blooming on the roadside. When spring comes, all flowers are in full bloom. "She" is also attracted by the vitality and beauty they contain. She bends down and reaches out to touch the petals.

"Wow..."

However, before "her" fingers even touched the flower, the delicate purple flower turned into a ball of black residue in the wind, which shattered with a slight blow.

"She" was stunned for a moment, and wanted to touch other flowers, but all the flowers had withered and weathered without exception. "She" turned around and saw that the flowers, plants and trees on the road she had walked on had all withered. The originally vibrant tree-shaded path had become a dry and sandy landfill.

That's not the case... "she" doesn't want to hurt these children...

“She” became a little anxious, so another force in “her” body spread out from under her feet.

"Zi-"

A swaying purple flower blooms in the breeze.

Under "her" surprised gaze, all the withered and dead plants grew and bloomed again, emitting a richer breath of life than before, returning the place to its previous state in one fell swoop.

Great, “she” didn’t mean to hurt anything…

Oh, by the way, since plants can be resurrected, then...

Chapter 73 Are You Willing?

Plants can be revived and made more beautiful, but what about animals? Can other life forms also be revived using this power?

A strong obsession occupied her mind. She had almost no hesitation or consideration. Or rather, the rationality that should have been in her thinking disappeared without a trace. Driven by instinct, she used her unparalleled vitality to outline the outline of a person.

Soon, a human body was formed. Relying solely on memory, "she" completed the creation of a person.

Under "her" expectant gaze, the man stood up.

"Xiao Hun?" The man looked at her puzzledly.

“She” could not contain her excitement, and threw herself into the man’s arms with tears streaming down her face, crying, “Mom…it’s so good…I finally…I finally see you again…”

"She" can finally defeat death.

No more sorrowful sacrifice shall break the human race, no more cruel death shall sever the bonds that bind men.

Next, "she" will bring all the dead people back to this world. They belong to this world and no one can take them away.

No one can.

In the lush and prosperous forest, a short-haired girl's tears dripped from her lower body, her red and black skirt fluttered in the forest, and the feeling of sorrow spread in the air.

She hugged tightly the ferocious assassin in front of her.

……

"The Sixth Herrscher... has disappeared."

Spasi was shocked by the sudden news. He was directing the shooting down of the transport plane one second ago, and the next second he received a report that the Sixth Herrscher's response disappeared. The transport plane stopped above the city, and the only human left inside was the Speaker.

After arriving in this city, the Sixth Herrscher left the transport plane, and the huge Honkai energy reaction also disappeared.

what does this mean?

A being whose mere existence can cause death, quietly hid in a city with tens of millions of people?

"Where is the Speaker? How's the situation?" After a brief moment of distraction, he immediately came to his senses. Now was not the time to be shocked and scared. He had to find the Sixth Ruler and finish all the matters before that.

"His vital signs are very weak, his organs have been severely corroded, and his heart has been completely corroded. It is no longer possible to perform a resection surgery on him." The person reporting the situation answered truthfully, "He will die in a few hours at most, and will not be transformed into a dead soldier or a Houkai beast."

Spashi had anticipated this situation. After a pause, he gave the order, "Take him to the fifth branch, to the research room of the Honkai disease serum."

……

The Speaker woke up slowly. His eyes were almost blinded by the glaring light. Endless fatigue and pain were transmitted from his body into his brain. He felt lucky that he could wake up this time.

"Hello, Speaker." A man stood beside him. He was using a communicator to communicate with other people. He looked very busy. "This is the first time we actually meet, but I think you are not unfamiliar with me. Judging from your thorough understanding of the serum research of the Fifth Branch, you have probably paid attention to me for quite a while."

"One year? Two years? Or...it started before the destruction of the fifth branch?"

Spasi put away the communicator and looked down at the expressionless Speaker with a sneer.

"It seems that you have investigated a lot of things privately." The words spoken by the Speaker with a hoarse throat were close to a whisper, but his eyes were particularly tough, and he was not afraid of Spasi's undisguised murderous intent.

"External invasion... hehe..." Spasi chewed on the word, looking disdainful of it. "Do you think that if Lin can detect it, I can't?"

“But this is not something you found out.”

"Dr. Mei generously shared the clues she collected with me." Spasi did not deny it, and then sneered, "Now, do you still want to live? I do have some tricks that can make you live a little longer, but whether that is considered as real 'living', I can't say for sure."

"Want to vent your anger?"

"Forget it. The person who I am venting my anger on is now dragging his body, which is even more miserable than yours, to fight the Herrscher. And you, a traitor, a bastard who killed fellow human beings, a scum who destroyed everything that the victims gained, actually have the nerve to ask me for help and want to live."

After finishing his words, Spasi revealed a cruel smile: "Then do you know why I tolerated you lying here instead of sending you to the Herrscher who betrayed with you?"

The Speaker closed his eyes and took a deep breath: "You are going to torture me."

"Hmm? Was there something wrong with what I said just now? I've already said it, I'm not going to do to you what you did to others." Spasi picked up the communicator and glanced at the message from the search personnel who had not yet responded.

"So you just want to revive me? Use the serum on me?"

"Hahahaha... When all the answers are denied, the most unlikely answer is the only answer. Is that what you think? But unfortunately, I will not test the effectiveness of the serum on you for both emotional and logical reasons. I put you here just for one thing."

Spasi looked down at the Speaker's eyes. His former sadness, anger and despair had all been buried deep inside, and now the only thing that could be seen by others was a pair of cold and resolute eyes.

Just like Mei's eyes.

"After a Honkai disease patient dies, there will be serum in their body that has a therapeutic effect on Honkai disease. Extracting it can be used to provide partial relief, but the effect is minimal and not as good as traditional inhibitors."

"However, as more and more serum is extracted, the ability to suppress Honkai energy gradually turns into elimination. In other words, when the amount of serum reaches a qualitative change, it can truly cure Honkai disease."

"But I don't know exactly how many there are. So far, we have extracted serum from tens of thousands of patients with Honkai disease, but we still haven't succeeded. Now we are just one step away from success."

"Whether that final blow will cost the life of one person, dozens or hundreds of people is incalculable, but any attempt is worth it."

"And you, Speaker, are you willing to give your life for the humanity you love?"

"Finally, this is not atonement, it's just your willingness. If you choose to refuse, even if you die, I will not extract the serum from your body."

After listening to Spasi's words, the Speaker slowly closed his eyes, and countless craziness ended in his eyes.

This human who had shed his demonic shell smiled.

Chapter 74: The Long Night Road

How long does it take for a person to die?

Spasi smoothed his hair, a cold-blooded light flickered in his eye sockets. A kind of coldness unique to scientific researchers was brewing in his heart. He stared at the man who had lost consciousness again with a cold look on his face.

If the heart, the body's blood-pumping organ, is pierced and extensive damage is caused, the blood-pumping function will be severely impaired and death will occur within five minutes.

Spasi hated the Speaker from the bottom of his heart. He was able to say those words calmly just now only because as the head of the fifth branch of the Fire Moth, his mission was to create a drug that could cure the Honkai disease.

But after abandoning his identity as a minister, Spasi actually wanted to pierce the Speaker's heart and nail him to the wall from the first moment he saw him, watching him slowly die.

In terms of identity, the Speaker is a traitor who killed other senior officials. Morally speaking, Spasi should give an explanation to all the former members of the Fifth Branch, including his wife and daughter.

His one arm lifted the pistol from the table and released the safety.

The room was quiet, completely different from the hustle and bustle outside.

"..."

Killing this man would also allow the serum to be extracted from his body. It would only take a few hours, so even if there was a difference, it would be minimal. Spasi could then get his revenge and end the knot that had been suppressed in his heart for so many years.
