I'm not Yingjie

"What happened, Lin—"

Lin turned around when he heard Ying's exclamation and saw a scene that made his pupils shrink.

Sakura's entire body was disappearing at a very fast speed, an unstable flow of information passing through her body, taking away her own existence.

How is this going!

Lin subconsciously reached out to grab the hand that Ying extended, but before his hand could grasp that fragile arm, Ying collapsed in front of him like falling cherry blossoms.

"..."

The overwhelming flow of data overwhelmed him, who was stunned.

……

When Lin regained consciousness, the environment he was in and the colors he could see were completely different.

What kind of world is this.

It was difficult for Lin to describe his current feelings in words. From the moment he saw the scenery in front of him, a certain rising emotion had been brewing in his heart, forcing him to open his eyes wide to observe every detail he could see.

Desolate, dilapidated, cold, technological, and prosperous.

These words appeared simultaneously in the "world" he saw.

Endless ruins and wreckage, named and unnamed mechanical creations, buildings, and monster waste covered the ground, making it impossible for him to see even an inch of the original color of the land. At the center of these doomsday scenes, a metal tower stood resolutely like a beacon in this dark world, emitting bright and soft light in the very center of the world.

Lin instinctively took a step forward to pursue the light.

Chapter 25: The End

Is he strolling in the garden?

Lin tried to end the simulation again, but there was still no response, and external communication did not work.

The only way to end the simulation is to shut down the system externally, but at this point no one should have noticed the situation in the simulation room.

Death in the simulation system would not cause brain death or other problems. Even if the body data was reorganized, it would not have any effect on the brain. However, as mentioned before, a warrior like Sakura's reliance on and control over the body would cause discomfort even if there was only a slight difference. If her data was reorganized into a completely different person or even an object, then rejection would probably occur on the spot...

All we can do is wait and hope someone finds the error in the simulation system.

Before this, the appearance of this strange world was also a strange phenomenon. There should not be such a place in the simulated environment. He had no impression of it at all, not to mention that the technological level of these mechanical wreckage seemed to be higher than that of the current Fire Moth, and those monster wreckage...

Lin stopped under a fifty-meter-tall giant monster. He frowned and used the scanning system in his helmet to analyze the corpse.

Soon, a "as expected" result appeared before Lin's eyes.

There is a lot of Houkai energy reaction inside this monster's body, and its body structure is basically the same as Houkai beast, which means...

This is an unrecorded type of Honkai beast.

What's more surprising is that the Honkai energy content of this Honkai beast has exceeded the level of ordinary Honkai beasts. You have to know that this is just a corpse. When it was alive, this Honkai beast had at least reached the top level of Honkai Emperor among the lower-level Honkai beasts.

The most crucial point is that the corpses of these Honkai beasts are everywhere in this world composed of corpse remains.

Lin roughly estimated that a great battle with Honkai beasts had taken place here, and in the end the side using mechanical creations won a tragic victory, and the Honkai beasts were completely wiped out. The casualties of these machines and drivers were also comparable to those of the Honkai beasts.

He saw human skeletons under the metal blocks.

The closer they got to the tower, the more tragic the scene around them became. Lin saw at least seven corpses of emperor-level Honkai beasts, and many more corpses could not be distinguished because they could not remain intact. Compared with the corpses of Honkai beasts, there were more human corpses.

This is more tragic than any major collapse we have ever experienced. This is a real "war" between "humanity" and "collapse".

Unconsciously, Lin had arrived at the foot of the tower. Only when he got closer did the feeling of watching from a distance become stronger. The azure particles emitted by this tower connecting heaven and earth were like the only substance with light source in the gloomy world. The unknown metal pipes like blood vessels transported light gray liquid energy.

What Lin thought of at this moment was the ark mentioned in the myth that carried the last of humanity. This sea of ​​corpses and blood seemed to be the great flood that engulfed the world in the myth.

There was a big door at the bottom of the tower, which was not closed. Lin looked out from the entrance and saw the empty corridor without even a drop of blood. Even the nearest corpse was quite far away from the main entrance.

Lin had no reason to hesitate. He took two steps at a time and walked in quickly.

There didn't seem to be any living creatures in the silent building.

The deeper Lin got into it, the more he was surprised by the technological level of the tower. This was not a simple data error or some vague conceptual technology that someone had imagined out of thin air, but a genuine product of advanced technology.

Arriving at a place that should be an elevator, Lin walked in. He found that the digital language used in the elevator was what he recognized. He pressed the button for the top floor, the elevator closed, and then quickly rose to the top floor.

"Ding--"

The elevator door paused for a second and a half, then slowly opened in two.

What appeared in front of Lin was a figure sitting on a chair, monitoring the screen that could see all the scenes inside and outside the tower.

"..."

"..."

Lin just stood in the elevator, staring at the motionless figure without saying a word, and the other party seemed not to notice him and did not move at all.

It was not until the time came for the elevator door to automatically close and move towards the middle that Lin took two steps out of the elevator.

As he moved, the figure sitting on the chair also made a sound -

"Are you, 'The End'?"

"..." Lin listened to the other party's words quietly. He did not refute or admit anything. He just waited for the other party to continue speaking.

"I didn't expect that the last Herrscher would look like this." The man turned his chair and faced Lin. "What would you like to drink? Human coffee or tea?"

That was a highly mechanized "person".

Lin didn't even know if he could still be considered a human being. All that was left of his body was the metallic luster, with mechanical patterns covering every visible inch of his body. The color of his eyes was the same as the familiar monitors that Lin was familiar with. At first glance, he could only be regarded as a robot.

Ke Lin saw a light that only humans have in his eyes that were no longer human. Perhaps, that was the only thing left in this "human" that belonged to "humans".

"...Who are you?" The light from the visible window of Lin's helmet reflected the metallic luster of the man, and he stretched out one hand and asked.

"What a strange question. Aren't we almost wiped out by you? But if you really want to hear it, it's okay for me to tell you."

The "robot" showed a strange smile, stood up and gave a salute that Lin had never seen before: "I am the last human on earth."

"..." Even though he had vaguely guessed something, Lin still frowned when the robot man revealed the truth.

After a while, he raised his head and said coldly to the mechanical man: "I am not a Herrscher."

"Huh?" The mechanical man was stunned. He glanced at the screen. Lin followed his gaze and happened to see the picture displayed on one of the detection screens. His own appearance was clearly shown on it, and it was marked as "Herrser".

Is it the influence of that time again?

"That's really strange. Is there something wrong with the detection system? Or are you, the Herrscher, still planning to tease humans at this last moment?" The mechanical man smiled indifferently, "But that's not important anymore. Just assume that you are a human who survived by chance. How about sitting down and chatting? Let's enjoy the end of humanity."

"By the way, what's your name?"

Lin came to the table and sat down. He said calmly, "Lin."

"Huh? That's such a coincidence."

The mechanical man sat down opposite him.

"My name is Lin."

The smile on his face, which showed no trace of human color, was so warm, like a dim but irreplaceable ray of light breaking through the dark clouds.

Chapter 26 Even if it is false...

"When should I start? Since this is the end of mankind, let's start from the beginning of this short history of the end."

Lin pressed on the table, and the middle of the tabletop opened outward. A cup of hot coffee topped with cream was placed on a tray and brought to Lin.

"You're welcome. This is the coffee device I designed myself before I ended up like this. I was quite confident in my craftsmanship, but everyone thought it was pointless to oppose me using resources to make this device, so I didn't reassemble it until I was the only one left." Lin's smooth mouth should not be able to taste anything. He stared at Lin who was holding the coffee with interest, "You are the first and last person to taste this cup of coffee."

Lin silently raised his helmet a little, put the hot coffee to his lips, took a small sip, and the mellow and fragrant taste instantly filled his mouth.

"...It tastes good." Lin expressed his true feelings. He was also good at making coffee. When Mebius wanted to drink coffee, he would make a cup for her. But he had to admit that this high-tech coffee, which was precise in temperature and every grain of ingredient, tasted better.

"Hahaha, huh? Actually, I have a lot of things I'm proud of, but it's a pity that no one helps me try them out."

Lin put down the cup and stared in silence at the robot man who was laughing unabashedly. The happiness simulated by the device on Lin's smooth, poreless face was without any affectation. It was Lin's purest joy.

Can this person laugh so easily in the end of the world when he is alone?

"Ahem, I've gone off topic. Let's get back to the point. You should know that this is the beginning of the collapse of the human world, and it's called the 'First Collapse'."

"..."

"We knew nothing at that time, but we faced the advent of the Herrscher of Thunder, who controlled and manipulated electromagnetic fields like the God of Thunder, and the death of three-tenths of the world's population. Therefore, the day when the first Houkai broke out is also called the day when God's punishment came."

After hearing this, Lin interrupted abruptly, "The first Herrscher...is he the Herrscher of Thunder? Isn't he the Herrscher of Principle?"

"...What are you talking about?" Lin's machine eyes looked at Lin in confusion, and his tone was matter-of-fact, "The First Herrscher is of course the Herrscher of Thunder, and...how did you know the code name of the Herrscher of Reason? That was the code name of the Twelfth Herrscher that I just thought of. It was she who destroyed the last base of mankind. After I killed her with the Honkai Energy Satellite Conversion Cannon, I was the only one left as the last human being."

"..." Lin nodded thoughtfully. He did not refute anything, but let Lin continue.

"At that time, in order to deal with the continued emergence of Honkai and Herrscher, the 'Gone with the Stars' organization consisting of 123 countries in the world was established. The top talents of human society gathered together to fight for a common great goal."

"It's embarrassing that the guy who stood out among all the top talents was a guy who was only in high school, that is, me."

Lin didn't have much pride in saying this, he was just stating a fact, and the fact that he was the last living human showed that his status in the Meteor Passing was indeed extraordinary.

He raised his head and exhaled from the corner of his mouth, as if he was recalling the past history of human prosperity. In an instant, the building collapsed, and after the disaster, nothing would be left.

"I kept creating various weapons and technologies to fight against the Honkai. The second, third, fourth time... I calculated that there were thirteen major Honkais in total. This means that if humans survived thirteen major Honkais, they might not be bothered by Honkai at all. But... no matter what technology I created, Honkai would always become stronger, and each attack would be more fierce."

"Later, I used Honkai energy, and human technology experienced a leap-forward explosive growth, but I didn't expect that what was waiting for us was... Zizi..."

Lin's heart was shocked. He stared at Lin who had just made the wrong sound but didn't notice anything.

Is it because the data is corrupted that the key parts cannot be simulated? Using the Honkai energy, human technology has grown rapidly, but what has it led to?

What does that mean? Because I used Honkai energy, I attracted something even more terrifying?

"What did you say just now?" Lin Liran asked.

"Hmm? You don't even know this? That was the turning point of the war between humans and Honkai [Zi————]."

No, this data is corrupted!

Lin sensed something was wrong, and he immediately asked, "Except for the Herrscher of Reason, the Herrscher of Void, the Herrscher of Thunder, the Herrscher of Wind, the Herrscher of Ice, and the Herrscher of Death, what kind of powers do the remaining Herrschers possess!"

"what are you saying……"

"tell me!"

"Okay, sizzle-sizzle-"

But when Lin was about to record everything Lin said, Lin's body began to experience data collapse, the surrounding tower scenes also collapsed to varying degrees, and the words Lin said turned into electric current sounds.

This phenomenon undoubtedly made Lin's heart sink to the bottom.

He has already understood that this simulation is probably the data left by the previous civilization, and it is very likely the legacy left by Lin to help future civilizations. However, this data may have been damaged over a long period of time.

Lin thought at this point that he could no longer bother to investigate the situation of the previous civilization. Ying was still somewhere in this place. If the data simulation collapsed, she might also be implicated.

People in the simulation device can check each other's coordinates. When Lin checked Ying's coordinates before, it showed erroneous garbled characters. He could only try again to see if he could find Ying's location.

This time, Ying's coordinates appeared on the dialogue window, right inside the tower. He immediately left Lin behind and ran out.

Sakura is located... on the third floor of the tower from the top.

He soon arrived at that floor, and the tightly closed door in front of him opened automatically. He walked in, but the scene he saw made him unable to react for a moment.

Sakura, right here.

Her data was not reorganized to a great extent, and basically maintained its original appearance, only the equipment was converted into a normal set of clothes.

But now, she was lying in a transparent rectangular container with her eyes closed and a pale face.

It was as if I was in a transparent coffin.

"Tack, tick, tick..."

Lin, who had followed at some point, walked past Lin and came to Ying's side, his mechanically jointed palms resting on the edge of the container, a gentle look appearing on his cold metal cheeks.

Lin saw the tenderness on the robot's face and he understood.

He looked at Sakura's left hand. On the ring finger, there was an inconspicuous ring with no decorations on it. There was only a name engraved on it that was difficult to see clearly.

LIN.

"drop----"

A shrill alarm sounded in the tower. Lin raised his head suddenly and saw a display screen lowered in the room. In the distance outside the tower, a tiny, distorted figure floated in the air and slowly flew towards the tower.

"The Herrscher of Reason...seems he failed to kill her completely." Lin stared at the figure on the screen calmly. He shook his head and lowered his eyes to look at Ying.
