I'm not Yingjie

Lin said this indifferently.

……

There is another dead man.

She used her utmost rationality to suppress her rage and impatience that wanted to tear the two assassins to pieces. She recalled what Lin had taught her: not to let emotions dominate the battle, but to use the environment, advantages and equipment to create conditions that would allow her to use her strength to the maximum extent possible to break through the opponent's weaknesses.

Just as Lin guessed, she always thought of herself as a human being. Even though she possessed abilities that humans could not achieve, she was still limited by her own thinking.

Those two assassins were not simple. She had just launched the attack with full preparation, but the other assassin grabbed the first assassin and avoided the attack in a time that was almost too short for the first assassin to react.

Moreover, his speed was faster than hers, so even though she was hit, fortunately she was not seriously injured.

The complex terrain around her created a good environment for her. She was able to use the phase transfer device to move long distances and was not restricted by the terrain. The actions of the assassins were mostly predictable, so she prepared to launch another surprise attack and kill the second, faster assassin.

The first assassin's body was only half, which would make it much easier to deal with, but she was a little... surprised that the assassin could use a gun.

The slight sense of incongruity did not linger in her heart for half a second before it was washed away. She thought of the person who had been killed, raised her hand and resurrected him. After seeing the exact same face, she breathed a sigh of relief and wanted him to seek shelter.

In the next second——

"Oh!"

Her half-formed smile froze in her muscles.

The person in front of him fell down in a daze. Just when he was about to respond to the smile, he died again with a strange expression on his face.

The black bullet hole on the forehead was obviously made by the assassin.

cruel.

The word popped into her mind.

Honkai was so cruel that it killed her companions again and again.

Therefore, it is unforgivable.

With fire in her eyes, she used the phase transfer device to leave her spot before the next bullet appeared, and appeared in front of the assassin who fired the shot.

However, before she could raise her sickle, an almost transparent ice blade attacked her from a tricky angle, forcing her to step back to block it.

"bass!"

In the vibrant spring, the breath of death quietly spreads.

Chapter 84: The First Injection

"bass!"

The timing and angle of the knife's appearance were too tricky. Even if she used her fastest speed to gather her strength, she still couldn't completely block it. Not to mention the knife-wielding assassin's sword intent as fierce as a swordsman, even the lame and blind assassin raised the muzzle of his gun and pointed it at her forehead.

At this critical moment, she instinctively used the power of death in her body as a stress response.

"Teng——"

The moment black mist appeared around her, the knife-wielding assassin stopped attacking. The sudden withdrawal of the knife startled her, but it also gave her time to react and retreat, and she immediately disappeared into the void.

……

Seeing that the Herrscher really did not continue to pursue as Lin expected, Ying also put the sword back into the sheath to prevent the coldness that could not be fully controlled from spreading further.

Their attack was just a feint. Lin had reminded Sakura that the Sixth Herrscher would emit a black mist that could decompose the human body, so she had not used her full strength from the beginning, in order to retract her sword in time to avoid hitting the black mist due to excessive force.

But even so, the cold deathly aura that brushed past the black fog made her feel a chill down her spine.

"Hahaha……"

As she was sweating profusely, she shifted her attention to Lin, who was kneeling on the ground with his hands supporting his body and breathing heavily. But she was stunned for a moment after just one glance.

A purple tumor protruded from Lin's left shoulder. The swollen blood vessels and disgusting lines looked particularly terrifying in this still beating tumor. The deformed shape was impossible to appear on the human body.

"What's going on?" She hurried in, but was stopped by Lin's eyes.

Lin lost the feeling in his left shoulder, and a sense of dislocation that made him want to vomit came from his body. In the few seconds when he was in close contact with the Herrscher without protective gear, the raging Honkai energy was activated in his body, causing his body to mutate again.

It is foreseeable that after the battle, his death will come as scheduled, and his death will probably be a lump of flesh without any recognizable human form.

Now Lin's body has become a Honkai energy bomb that may explode at any time. If Sakura gets too close to him, he will be corroded by the Honkai energy, so he prevents Sakura from getting too close to him.

"Ying..." He suppressed the strange feeling and said to Ying who didn't know what to do with difficulty, "Cut off this piece of meat..."

"it is good."

Ying did not hesitate. She could see that Lin's pain came from the piece of flesh that had torn his clothes, so she immediately pulled out another ordinary standard knife of the Fire Moth.

With a flash of cold light, large chunks of flesh and blood were cut off from Lin's body. The blood turned completely purple-pink and gathered into a small pool under the feet of the two.

"Cough..." Lin's muscles relaxed and he fell in a pool of blood. The strange mass of flesh actually moved twice as if it had life before stopping.

Ying was shocked by the color of Lin's blood and flesh. Even though she didn't know about Honkai disease, she could tell that something was wrong with Lin's body: "You...you should evacuate first. I can hold her back by myself."

Even if this piece of meat is a foreign object, it is made up of Lin's flesh and blood. This is equivalent to cutting off nearly a pound of flesh from his body. The left shoulder is directly missing an equivalent amount of flesh and blood, and the white bones are exposed to the air. The purple lines in it have merged with the blood vessels and can no longer be distinguished.

"Do not……"

Sakura might have unparalleled attainments in killing humans. There is no other soldier in the entire Fire Moth who knows the weaknesses of the human body better than her, but she has no experience in fighting against the Herrscher, so Lin cannot leave. Helping Sakura here is what he can do. Even if he dies, he has completed his mission.

Lin had never felt his body so heavy. He pulled his face out of the blood. The wet bandage fell halfway off his face, revealing a pair of tired eyebrows.

"You..." Ying was so surprised that she was speechless for a moment when she saw the upper half of Lin's face, because after this small half of his face was revealed, his whole temperament changed. His originally too cold eyes became less sharp with the coordination of soft eyebrows and nose bridge, even making Ying wonder if Lin in front of her had become another person at this moment.

But now didn't seem like the right time to ask that.

"...What's wrong?" After taking a breath, Lin took out the three doses of bright green medicine from his body, noticed Ying's hesitant expression and asked.

"Nothing." Ying quickly shook her head like a rattle. In order to change the subject, she shifted the focus to the Sixth Herrscher. "From your tone, you seem to be very familiar with her...Herscher?"

"She was once my comrade-in-arms."

Lin pulled out the stopper of the syringe and pushed out the needle.

"She seems to be conscious, so can't she..."

"bass!"

Before Ying could say anything, Lin inserted the syringe into the aorta in his neck in front of her and pushed all the medicine inside in one breath.

This action made Ying's words stuck in her throat. She looked at Lin throwing away the syringe in pain, kneeling on the ground coughing, with a little emotion on her face.

When they first met, Lin was sitting in a wheelchair, and that didn't seem like a disguise. Later, when he tried to stop her from assassinating Mei, he miraculously recovered, but he was still seriously injured by her and now he still looks seriously ill.

It seems like this person has never had a healthy day.

Sakura joined the Fire Moth for Ling, and why did Lin join? For the sister named Prometheus? But after becoming a member of the new Poison Pupa formed by Mei, Mei told her that the little girl named Prometheus was just an artificial intelligence to assist Lin.

"Cough cough..." The coughing sound gradually became lighter, and Lin's eyes became clear again, but the color of his one eye changed from the original silent black to a somewhat enchanting emerald green. He stood up from the ground normally, and there was nothing unusual about him.

He picked up his cane and said to Ying, "The fact that she retained consciousness was just an illusion, making her look almost the same as she was before she died. In fact, the consciousness in that body has been replaced by the consciousness of a Herrscher who vents his malice towards humans without mercy."

"Now she is just maintaining this disguise. In order to look like her original self, she will not use her power to kill people casually. Even if she uses her power, the scope will not be too large. But once she takes off her disguise, she will turn into a natural disaster."

Don't have any hesitation or mercy, otherwise it would be a betrayal of the victim.

Lin Duihun said this, and he also said this to himself, constantly reminding himself that no matter how similar the person looked, he was not someone he was familiar with, but a monster that wanted to destroy humanity.

"Illusion..." Sakura murmured, remembering the chilling scene she saw when she entered the amusement park, where the soldiers disappeared.

It was a haunted house, literally an amusement park designed to scare people. All the objects inside were props such as skulls, severed limbs, and pools of blood, but at the deepest part, Sakura saw a scene that she would never forget in her life.

A total of seven teams' equipment was piled up there. All the clothes and weapons were placed together, but the wearers had disappeared without even a trace left.

Chapter 85: "Lin" and Lin

Unspeakably irritable.

After she returned to her companions, this feeling of irritability ran rampant in her heart.

"Lin, what did I not do? What should I do now?" She asked "Lin" who was still standing there, as if she was asking for his opinion, or as if she was venting something.

"...Now you can use your power to kill them." "Lin" gave an answer, but this answer did not satisfy her.

With that kind of power?

She knew what that meant, but she thought that this force was far less powerful than her own attack in terms of speed and destructiveness. Couldn't the knife-wielding assassin have avoided the black fog?

"You are resisting using your ability. You can use this power to kill the whole city of assassins."

"The whole city? No, what if there are still survivors in this city? Before the support arrives, we still have to... uh..."

Halfway through her words, she hugged her head in agony again, her long hair swinging back and forth.

“Survivors…are there really any survivors here…” She muttered to herself after the pain subsided, “I can’t sense that there are still people alive in this city…”

The power of creation reminded her that there were no living creatures in the city. In this area of ​​high concentration of Honkai energy, all living things would be eroded by Honkai energy. Even some small insects would undergo unexpected mutations. It was not a place where living people could survive.

And judging from the degree of damage, the city had been under the Honkai attack for at least several days. Even if there were any survivors, they must have been rescued.

That’s right… We can’t let these assassins leave this city and endanger more people…

"Yes, this is for more people..."

She was still talking to herself, but the expression on her face was different. Black mist was dissipating from her body at a strange speed, and it seemed that it was spreading outward.

However, in less than half a second, the black mist shrank back into her body.

She looked at her companions around her in fear, and she shook her head and refuted herself: "They are still here. I can't do this. It will hurt them."

"...We can still be resurrected by you."

"No! I can't... hurt again..." She screamed subconsciously, but still stopped halfway through, confused and asked, "Can't... what?"

Something was forgotten by herself, some very important memories disappeared from her mind.

This time, she was aware of the blank space, but soon, she didn't care.

"Then let me do it."

Lin said to her.

……

"Was that medicine you just injected?"

"Ah."

In a sense, it is indeed a drug that delays the disease, but it is killing Lin while restoring his condition. However, there is no need to make this clear. He will die from the erosion of Honkai energy, and the difference between that and the injection of drugs is that one dies at his own hands, and the other dies at the hands of Honkai.

As long as it allows him to fight, he will drink it without batting an eyelid, even if it is poison.

Sakura instinctively realized that this drug was not a good thing, but she could not care less. The most urgent task now was to understand the Sixth Herrscher and stop her: "Is the Sixth Herrscher's ability to attack and retreat also her power?"

"No, that's a phase transfer device. It's based on the same principle as your space-time rupture device, but that device has a greater side effect. It will cause the user to be corroded by Houkai energy and have the risk of consciousness collapsing." Lin told Ying the information without reservation, "But this side effect should be close to non-existent for Herrscher."

The biggest reason why the use of the phase shift device led to the collapse of consciousness was that the void space of the device was close to a space composed of high-concentration Houkai energy. When human consciousness enters there, it will lose the five senses and cannot feel the flow of time, but the Herrscher is likely not to have this situation, so the Sixth Herrscher did not look anything unusual after using the phase shift device continuously.

"If you can, take that device off, and she won't have the means to transfer."

Another consideration for the snatching device was that Lin needed a way to move quickly. All of his equipment was left at the headquarters, so he couldn't move using his most common method. His mobility problems made him a complete sitting duck after losing the option of the grappling hook.

"Also, pay attention. It could be the next time, or the next time...it might not just be the Herrscher who attacks us."

In every large-scale collapse, some high-concentration Honkai energy creatures will be born at the call of their master, the Herrscher. As the companion Honkai beasts of the guardians, each of them is a superior Honkai beast at the top of the Honkai beasts. It can be said that in addition to their power, their lethality is even greater than that of the Herrscher.

The Sixth Herrscher is currently the most special one. Not only does she regard herself as a human being, but she also cannot detect any Honkai energy reaction. All those around her are dead men, and there is not a single Honkai beast.

You should know that although there are many variants of the Death Soldiers, they are completely inferior to the Honkai Beasts in the biological spectrum of Honkai energy. No matter how ferocious the Death Soldiers are, they are not as terrifying as an ordinary tank-level Honkai Beast.

Thinking of the Emperor-level Honkai Beast of the Fourth Herrscher, which arrived on the battlefield only after she appeared, Lin guessed that the Sixth Herrscher's companion Honkai Beast might have been born somewhere in the world, or was perhaps on its way here.

What they were competing with the Sixth Herrscher was the speed of their support.

If support from headquarters arrives before the Sixth Herrscher fully realizes that he is a Herrscher, the Sixth Herrscher can be defeated at a lower cost. However, if the upper-level Honkai beast arrives ahead of time, it will be a disaster for the city.

At this moment, the call from the fifth branch rang again, and Lin answered it without hesitation.

"Lin, we have completed the evacuation of three quarters of the population. There are no civilians around you, but there is one more piece of information you need to know. After listening to it, you can decide whether to evacuate or not."

Spashi's voice was flat. He looked at the rising curve on his screen and sighed, "Around you, there is a huge source of Honkai energy rising."

"..."

A huge source of Honkai energy reaction.

What this sentence meant was that the Sixth Herrscher's companion Honkai Beast had already been born, and was right around them.
