I'm not Yingjie

Page 174

But unlike Lin's deliberate avoidance, they just kept their distance rather than avoiding socializing.

Therefore, they generally would not bother themselves with someone like Lin who was sensible enough not to have any dealings with them.

So what is the situation now?

"Ah, um, your name is... 089? 069? Anyway, I'm very optimistic about you."

Again.

Lin looked at the soldier puzzledly, who patted his shoulder, gave him a thumbs-up and then walked away.

What on earth happened?

……

"The above is the treatment of MSA-079. You cannot leave the headquarters until the investigation is completed. You need to report precautions regularly. Mobius is responsible for your physical condition."

Lin listened to the "handling" of himself at the high-level meeting without saying a word.

Rather than telling him what to do, it is more of a prevention and judgment for him.

Only a very few people knew about the relationship between Lin and the Speaker, so the top leaders were not on guard against this aspect. The main thing they wanted to prevent was that he would suddenly become the next Herrscher.

So far, no male has become a Herrscher, but before this, no one's consciousness has ever entered the Herrscher's core. Everything has a precedent. Since Lin can enter the Herrscher's core, is it possible for him to become a Herrscher?

So the solution to this is...plant the bomb.

A miniature bomb is installed at Lin's heart. Once he becomes a Herrscher, it will explode automatically if the Honkai energy content exceeds the threshold. It can also be detonated manually, and it only takes 0.3 seconds to completely destroy the heart.

The trial was about Lin's fault for withdrawing from the Fire Moth without authorization and the unauthorized use of the Honkai Disease Serum on him, which caused property losses to the Fire Moth.

In fact, the use of the Honkai disease serum has nothing to do with Lin's personal wishes. It's just that at present, Spashi's importance has been evaluated and has a high priority, so he has not been punished. Moreover, it is a period of shortage of people, and the punishment for Lin is not severe. The details are the same as what Sakura told him, it's nothing more than that he can't return to his original position and take back the captain's privileges.

What really concerned Lin was that Mei did not attend this meeting. Her current position was acting senior management, and she could attend the high-level meetings of the Fire Moth.

Instead, Prometheus II recorded the entire meeting.

"Dr. Mei is conducting a closed experiment. She said she will obey all decisions and leave the rest to you." Prometheus No. 2 conveyed Mei's meaning to the people present who looked unhappy in their expressions in a voice that was even colder, more mechanical, and genderless than Prometheus No. 1.

But then again, the Fire Moths were in their most difficult period, and talents like Mei were rare among the rare ones. Even if she didn't attend the meeting, they wouldn't have any objection.

"Anyway, do you have any other comments? MSA-079."

After recalling every clause they had mentioned and confirming that they were correct, Lin sighed and replied, "I have no objection."

This is the end of the sixth collapse...

After he said this, he was about to leave, but when he turned around and took a step, the surprise on the senior executive's face made him hesitate for half a second.

That expression seemed to say… “Why don’t you have an opinion?”

Could it be that they feel that this punishment is a bit severe, so they are a little surprised?

Thinking of this, Lin stood up straight and explained: "I think the punishment against me is very reasonable. I voluntarily give up the position of captain of the seventh team and will not appeal."

"What do you mean?"

"..."

Lin frowned and glanced at one of the senior executives who questioned him in an incredulous tone.

His meaning was clear enough.

"I mean……"

"Is there something unreasonable here? Don't be unreasonable, MSA-079. I know this incident has had a great impact on you, but this is also a decision made for the sake of humanity."

"..."

"Unlike the traitor who has been targeting you and Dr. May in the meeting, I have high hopes for you. Do you understand?"

Although still confused, Lin nodded. After the other party breathed a sigh of relief, he turned and left the meeting room.

After he walked out of the meeting room, a man had been waiting outside for a long time, leaning against the wall with his shoulders folded.

"Forest……"

Kevin looked at Lin who came out with a cold face.

"..." It seemed that he had something to ask him, Lin waited quietly for the other party to speak.

"What are you and May doing?"

Kevin’s first sentence made Lin stunned.

What to do... He hadn't seen Mei recently, and he didn't even meet her today. What did he mean by "what to do"?

Kevin took out his communicator, and the screen displayed the intranet forum. One of the top hot posts caught his eye. The red and bold font was obviously written by the administrator. In this place which is usually used for chatting after tea, there is basically no red and bold font.

There is a gambling table in the picture.

The headquarters soldier number is MSA-079. I believe many people are familiar with this number. Even the new recruits should have heard of this number from the old ones, which is equivalent to the number of Yama King of the Fire Moth. He has participated in all large-scale Honkai campaigns and Herrscher subjugation campaigns from the Second Honkai to the Sixth Honkai, and ranks first among the Fire Moths in the total number of completed missions. He is the former captain of the Seventh Squad of the Headquarters, a helmeted man who always wears a helmet and never shows his true face.

Recently, MSA-079's personality seems to have changed. He used to be a person who never actively socialized and had a bad attitude towards others, but now he has started to treat others peacefully and kindly. He also seems to have more contact with women, as he used to be a person who was resistant to love.

I am setting up a betting pool here, and the bet is whether MSA-079's personality has really changed. As long as someone can make him take off his helmet and confess his love, regardless of gender, it can be considered as proof of his personality change.

In order to make this bet go on, I’m placing the biggest bet on the “no” side. As long as it can be proven, everyone who placed a bet on the “yes” side will have a chance to make a “wish”. As long as it’s a wish that I can fulfill, I will fulfill it for you.

Lin's eyes fell on the signature of the post.

Head of R&D Department at headquarters, Mei.

Chapter 14 Failure Occurrence

"Doctor, the meeting is over and Lin's punishment has been decided. It's just as you expected."

Mei stood behind the busy crowd and heard the words of Prometheus No. 2 in the headset. She didn't say anything and her attention was still on the experiment in front of her.

This is an adaptive closed experiment of a metal material called "Soul Steel". From her estimated results, Soul Steel is the most suitable material for forging the Key of God. It has super adaptability, plasticity and memory to Honkai energy, and will not be corroded by Honkai energy. If it passes this experimental test, then Soul Steel should be able to be used in the production of various equipment and weapons.

"Also, Doctor, someone posted a betting order on the intranet in your name."

"what?"

After hearing this, Mei finally reacted. She took out her communicator, opened the intranet forum, and easily found the pinned post and the gambling disc with her own signature.

Mei couldn't remember when she had ever done such a thing.

"Prometheus No. 2, whose account posted this?" Mei asked after pondering for a moment after seeing the content and the bet.

"Unable to query. The publisher's posting location is outside of the Fire Moth, and the account used is a temporary account. After gaining administrator privileges through hacking, the account was deregistered."

"Temporary account?" Mei frowned even more after hearing this. The internal network accounts of Fire Moth are all bound to the identity, and there is no such thing as a temporary account. Since the other party has it, it means that he is not a member of Fire Moth, but a hacker who invaded the internal network through technical means and posted this post.

In fact, it is not difficult to imagine that this serious loss of vitality has affected all aspects of the Fire Moth. The confidentiality and prevention of the outside world may have been neglected, resulting in the hacker's invasion of the Fire Moth's intranet. The hacker was only able to invade this intranet with a security level equivalent to that of a country. The hacker's technology can be said to be world-class.

The information was leaked.

Since the other party was able to publish the betting in her name, and the content was consistent with reality, it meant that the internal information of the Fire Moth had been leaked.

"Doctor, do we need to investigate?"

Mei thought for a moment and shook her head.

"No, there is not that much energy to investigate hackers now."

Neither Fire Moth nor she had the energy, but May had another idea.

"Do we need to withdraw the bet?"

"……Do not."

Mei's lips curled up into a playful smile.

……

"Are you and May planning something?"

Kevin's tone wasn't aggressive, but Lin still heard something different in it.

"No, I have no idea." Lin actually wanted to ask Kevin if he knew something, but seeing Kevin's expression when he asked him, he must be confused, so he asked in a negotiating tone, "Should we ask Mei? Does she have other plans?"

"You know? So what are you doing?"

“…I said, I don’t know.”

"You don't have to emphasize that you know it." Kevin looked at him expressionlessly, "If it's something you can't tell me, then forget it."

wrong.

Lin was keenly aware that something was wrong. It seemed that the people who had been talking to him just now did not understand what he was saying.

Lin asked seriously: "Kevin, what happened?"

Whether it is the influence of Honkai energy or some other influence, this is not a good phenomenon. Misunderstanding is extremely dangerous. Could it be that poisonous gas is spreading in the headquarters?

"what are you saying?"

Unexpectedly, Kevin's face, which had not changed since the sixth collapse, twitched, and he looked at Lin with an...inexplicable look and took two steps back.

It wasn't so much surprise as it was...warning.

"I meant the poison gas..."

"Lin, I didn't expect you... to have changed so much." Kevin took another step back. He stared at Lin in doubt and took a deep breath to calm his twitching face. "Is it too much of a blow? I don't mean to distance myself from you or anything. I just feel... I can't laugh and joke like before. It's better for us and for others."

"..."

"But you actually think this way... I really didn't expect it. I thought you and Alicia were so close because... Now it seems that it is actually another way of showing that you have a good relationship." Kevin looked as if he had suddenly realized something, so Lin had no idea what he was talking about.

Could it be that he had also inhaled the poison gas, so what Kevin said was misinterpreted?

Lin's heart sank and he immediately held his breath. Although he didn't know whether the poison gas could be inhaled only through breathing, this kind of prevention still made sense.

He made a gesture of covering his nose to Kevin, and without caring whether Kevin understood or not, he turned around and ran towards the Spiral Workshop.

In his spare time, Vilvi made his new helmet, which could detect poison gas. The air purification system could also isolate the poison gas. He had to stop it before the poison gas completely enveloped the entire Fire Moth.

"Hey! Lin!"

Seeing Lin running away, Kevin put down his hand in a daze, not knowing what to feel.

Lin would actually say that...Has Lin always looked at him like that?

Kevin couldn't help but get goosebumps all over his body. "

……

"Oh!"

Lin kicked open the door of the Spiral Workshop and rushed in.

Each area of the Fire Moth has an independent air purification system to prevent the leakage of experimental poison gas. However, this kind of neurotoxin is likely to be released deliberately by someone, so the regional air purification system cannot stop the other party, and the source of the poison gas must be found quickly.

"Hey, Lin, why are you here again?"

Wei Erwei, who was slacking off and playing poker, looked up and saw Lin, who had a murderous look on his face even through the bandages, rushing into the Spiral Workshop. She immediately smiled awkwardly, stuffed the cards under her crossed thighs, and whistled as if nothing had happened.

"Virvi, has my helmet been repaired? Or do you have a poison gas detection device here? I suspect that poison gas is spreading in the headquarters base."

Lin summarized the purpose of his visit succinctly and clearly. This was an extremely urgent matter and must be resolved immediately.

Wei Wei shrugged, as if she was startled. She showed a similar expression to Kevin: "...Huh? This...did you make a mistake?"

"No!" Lin raised his voice.

"No, that's not right. I never saw you having that intention before... It's more like you look like you would have that kind of thought..."

"you……"

Linton paused.

Could it be that the poison gas has spread here?

No, if this continues the consequences will be unimaginable.

Lin picked up the writing board on the table, quickly wrote down what he wanted to say, and then showed it to Wei Wei.

Since we can't understand each other's words, can't we just express it in words?

“…Do you really think so?”

Wei Wei's eyes showed confusion, shock, and bewilderment...
