I'm not Yingjie

"You've been through a lot. I've rarely seen you healthy since I met you. You've always had various injuries and illnesses." Himiko smiled, took out another bottle of beer, and placed her beautiful fingernails on the ring of the can. "So, what do you want to see me about? There are only two injured people in the fifth team now. There are no missions to go out, right?"

"I just... came to see you."

"..."

Himiko was a little surprised, which could be seen from the fact that she stopped her fingers, but soon she laughed softly and patted the seat next to her.

Lin walked over confidently and sat on the other side of the small table.

"Drink some wine with me."

"it is good."

Neither Lin nor Himiko said much. Himiko knew that Lin said he was coming to see her just to see her, and he would not bring up anything on his own initiative because he was not sure which thing would touch her nerves.

Lin also knew that Himiko asked him to drink because she would say what she wanted to say in a while and he just needed to listen.

Both of them drank the cold beer in silence, one can after another, until the remaining beer became empty cans on the ground.

Himiko threw away the empty can, and propped up her pale cheek, which was covered with an unhealthy blush, with one hand. She said leisurely: "Have you... seen the gift she gave you?"

Lin put down the wine can and nodded dully: "Yeah."

"What is it?"

"Holster."

At this time, Himiko noticed that Lin had replaced the holster on his waist with a new one. The matte leather texture was full, and it was obvious that the person who selected it had put a lot of thought into it.

"…Is that so? That's good."

"This is from Desdobia, right?"

"..." Himiko's fingers froze for a moment, and her lazy eyes looked at Lin, "How did you know?"

"Because the soul does not understand me."

Many people's impression of Lin is still stuck on his frequent missions outside, his unapproachable attitude and his unchanging helmet, as if these are all he has and his life can no longer accommodate anything else.

But people who really know Lin would have noticed that he actually has some ordinary hobbies, such as reading novels and maintaining pistols, and he would not hide from others to do these things.

Desdobia occasionally mentioned that she wanted to give gifts to other people, so she often observed and inquired about the hobbies and habits of people around her, and recorded them for future gift shopping. It was not difficult for her to discover Lin's little hobbies.

And the soul...

Just as the phantom said that day, he and Hun actually didn't understand each other. She was just pursuing a blind impression. If she were to give a gift, she would give a new pistol instead of a holster, because she didn't understand what the pistol that seemed to be completely obsolete meant to Lin.

Desdobia discovered this and chose to let Soul pass on the gift so that Soul could win Lin's favor.

"I don't understand...yeah..." Himiko laughed at herself, "I don't understand you either."

"..."

"By the way, you know how I asked Hua what she wanted to do after the Honkai ended?"

"Ah."

"I asked Soul this question as well, during the time you disappeared."

Himiko covered her face, as if she wanted to cover her eyes and stop breathing.

“She smiled and said…”

"do not know."

……

At this time, on the Fire Moth's internal network, after two months of silence, the Fire Moth members who had finished most of their work began to become active again.

The topic discussed in a post is a hot topic that was popular a few years ago.

Someone's true face beneath a helmet.

"After the helmet guy came back, he was often seen walking around the gym and outside his room without a helmet, just with his face bandaged up."

"By the way, wasn't there a bet a few years ago? What was the final result of that bet?"

"Oh, in the end, the initiator of the betting withdrew the bet. It was said that all the people who chose the correct answer had already died, so all the bets were returned, but the correct answer was still not announced."

"Is this true? Hey, I heard that the helmeted man took off his helmet during the sixth collapse, and some people saw it."

"It seems to be the case. Can anyone who has seen it please reply to this post? What does he look like? Is it true that there is nothing under the helmet?"

"Well... even if we saw him, we can't be sure it was him. After all, his symbol is the helmet. Without the helmet, no one can connect him with the helmet."

"Who said that? I saw him today with only bandages wrapped around his waist, but I recognized him right away. His aura is real. It's just... I don't know if it's my illusion, but his outline under the bandages... looks pretty good."

"Haha, you are kidding me."

"I'm not lying to you. If you don't believe me, come to the headquarters and see for yourself. He seems to be different from before. Last time, someone mistook his back and greeted him, and he actually responded. You know, before, he would just walk away without even looking at them."

"Hey, hey, hey, you don't want to say that he changed from a cold helmeted man to a masked handsome boy, right? And how can a person change his personality so quickly? It was said that no one wanted to get close to him before. So now let's open a bet on whether he will date others, how about it?"

"Okay, I'll bet he won't."

"You boy."

Chapter 12 Oolong

"Doctor, what do you want to see me about?"

"My dear Klein, can't I just ask you to come over if I have nothing to do?"

Klein was obviously a little overwhelmed by Mebius' teasing, but she was already very good at dealing with it like a wooden man, so she stood there stiffly, neither saying a word nor responding.

"Okay, stop looking like you've been frozen by liquid nitrogen. That's enough for one person." The person Mebius was talking about was obviously the guy who claimed to give her everything but was useless most of the time. "Actually, I want you to send something to that liquid nitrogen man."

"Is it for Mr. Lin?"

"You don't have to be so respectful to that guy. You don't even respect me that much." Mebius said in a rather unhappy tone. Doctor is of course a respectful title, but Klein's tone was obviously more respectful to Lin.

It would be better to say that Klein respects all those who dare to sacrifice themselves, and Lin is just one of them.

"Forehead……"

"Forget it. There's no point in telling you this. I don't know whether to say you're likable or annoying. Anyway, the stuff is right there. Just send it to him later."

Mebius pointed a finger at the syringe on the table, the liquid in it had an unpleasant green color that was obviously her work.

"Interested? Want to hear what that is?"

Mebius was very pleased with Klein's curious gaze. She had a rare warm smile on her face. "Lin has been using a system called neural connection to connect with artificial intelligence and mechanical systems for a long time. However, human nerves are the most fragile part of the human body. Any confusion will cause the collapse of the overall senses."

"For example, the byproduct that was created when I was researching that potion."

Mebius picked up a syringe with the same green liquid from the table next to her. Her attitude towards this medicine was more subtle: "This medicine will cause a minor disorder in the cranial nerves after injection, causing the sound produced by the vocal organs to be different from what the person wants to express, which is imperceptible to the person himself, for example..."

"If a person wants to say, 'I hate you', then after injecting this drug, what he says may be 'I like you', 'Please don't hate me', 'I'm sorry' or something even stranger, but in the speaker's cognition, he has clearly expressed his meaning."

Klein noticed Mebius' eager eyes and shuddered. In order to prevent her from carrying out her imaginary actions on him, Klein decided to change the subject: "Is the medicine you are going to give Mr. Lin also of this kind?"

"How is that possible? It's just that he used some of the potions I prepared before, which were also related to nerves. So this time I prepared one with the opposite effect for him to try, to see if it can eliminate the sequelae of those potions."

"Aftereffects..."

This word is not unfamiliar to Klein, who has been engaged in research for a long time. The use of the word sequelae indicates that the symptoms are quite obvious and persistent, so Lin may now have some symptoms similar to the disease.

"Now he occasionally has excessive nerve excitement, which increases his thinking speed, but also makes him neurasthenic, and causes insomnia and exhaustion. These are probably the dual symptoms caused by the drugs and the nerve connection. This can be regarded as a drug to alleviate his sequelae."

Mebius would often explain everything to Klein in great detail, which allowed Klein to quickly understand what Mebius had done.

She thought Klein's reaction was quite interesting. Even when it came to persecuting other people, Klein would not show any fear. This was something that the Danzhu sisters could not do.

"Okay, I understand..." For example, now, Klein could sense that the "medicine" that Mebius had given Lin before was probably not a good thing, but she paid more attention to the therapeutic drugs that Mebius was prescribing for Lin now.

But...let her understand it however she wants.

Mebius nodded in satisfaction: "Then I'll bring it over later...By the way, where is the data sheet I asked you to give me yesterday?"

"Um... I was just working on it when you called me in, Doctor..."

Mebius covered his forehead and said helplessly: "Forget it, go finish that first."

Klein thought that the data sheet was indeed near the end of its production, so he nodded and walked out of the office to complete the data sheet at his own desk.

After typing away on the keyboard for two hours without a break and with an aching back, she finally typed out the spreadsheet. She sighed as she looked at the schedule that still had a lot of work to do, feeling that even two of them would not be enough.

As for Danzhu and Cangxuan? It would be good if they didn't hold us back...

Danzhu was about to go to the office with the report that Mebius wanted, and Klein stopped her: "Wait a minute, Danzhu."

"What's wrong, Senior Sister Klein?" Danzhu stopped and looked at the busy short-haired girl curiously.

"Help me deliver this to the doctor, and by the way, help me get the syringe off the doctor's desk."

Klein wanted to buy a cup of milk tea during this gap, so she asked Danzhu to help her do something.

"No problem! Leave it to me!"

Dan Zhu, who had always been begging Klein for help, immediately decided to help when he heard his senior sister's request. After all, it was easy to be soft-hearted, no matter how shameless he was, Klein had helped him modify reports and data so many times, and he couldn't always be behind him...

"okay……"

Klein walked out the door and stretched. She seemed to have forgotten something, but when she thought about it carefully, she realized that there was nothing wrong, so she quickly walked to the cafeteria in the headquarters to buy milk tea.

The Doctor’s, Danzhu’s, Cangxuan’s, my own… Do you want some pearl jelly today?

Then, on the road, she happened to run into Lin again.

"Mr. Lin?"

Lin stopped and looked at Klein. He still remembered this assistant who had the same hair color as Mebius. From Mebius' words, he could tell that she admired her assistant very much.

"What's the matter?"

"Nothing, I just came out to buy something... Are you going to the lab?"

"Well, I do my monthly regular physical examinations in your laboratory."

"Oh, that's perfect. When you go there later, go get the medicine that Dr. Mebius gave you. It's for nerve damage."

"..."

Treating nerve damage?

Lin didn't think much about it and nodded.

……

Syringe...Syringe...

Danzhu searched the things on the cluttered table and soon found two syringes.

They are exactly the same, so they should be the same medicine. Just pick one at random.

Danzhu happily walked out the door with the syringe.

I will make up for it tomorrow.

Chapter 13 Something...unexpected?

Very strange.

Very strange.

Lin's eyes followed a person who greeted him. After hesitating for half a second, he nodded slightly in response.

And the other party...made a fist-clenching motion with a weird expression.

If Lin guessed correctly, it should be an expression of "Great".

"..."

He withdrew his gaze and passed by the person he had never greeted before.

Lin has a very clear understanding of himself. He said long before the third collapse that he was a real freak. Even though many people have commented recently that his attitude towards things has changed, he still does not leave the category of freak.

But recently, I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but there are more and more people passing by and saying hello or smiling at this freak in a friendly manner...?

Lin didn't dare to say how well he knew the people at the headquarters, but based on his observations over the years, he knew that the connections between people were not that close. Many people joined the Fire Moths because they hated Honkai, and these people were often the first to die. So, whether for their own good or for the good of others, they would try not to invest their emotions in interpersonal relationships.
