I'm not Yingjie

He did not reach out to touch his wife, his fingertips could no longer feel the cold.

What Lin saw was the simulated data in front of him flashing wildly and reporting errors. He realized that the reason for the error in this simulation might be due to the Ruler of Law of this previous civilization.

The simulation room prohibits simulated combat against the Herrscher. Lin once asked Delta to try a simulation against the Herrscher, which resulted in the simulation device being scrapped. The huge amount of data could not be simulated by the simulation device.

Her appearance took up most of the data usage of this simulation and also destroyed the original key information.

Lin glanced at the figure that symbolized destruction, and then looked at the motionless Lin. He said in a deep voice: "Did you choose to do this in the 'last'...?"

Can a person who cannot feel body temperature not hug a dead lover?

"What did you say?" Lin didn't understand what he meant.

"I come to defeat the Ruler of Reason."

Before Lin could come to his senses, Lin rushed out of the room, inserted the knife into the elevator door and forced it open, then jumped down from the elevator shaft.

The falling strong wind blew up the hem of his clothes, and the rapidly approaching ground pressed down like a heavy hammer.

"boom!"

Before the smoke on the ground dispersed, a dark shadow rushed out, holding a dagger in one hand and pulling out the nameless broken blade stuck in the ground outside the tower with the other.

Lin stood in front of the screen, the pale fluorescence reflected on his silver-white skin, and his mechanical eyes stared at the resolute back.

This is false, it is a past that has ended, it is a tragedy buried in history.

It's just a piece of wrong data.

But Lin still did not hesitate, he knew he would definitely do it, even if he was the only one left in the world, he would still do it.

Regardless of whether the real Lin finally embraces his wife or not, Lin will now allow the fake him time to embrace his fake wife.

and so……

The helmeted man leaped up and swung his broken blade at the god of destruction in the air.

Chapter 27: The Passing of a Meteor

The battle lasted a very short time, less than ten minutes.

The Herrscher of Reason had been severely injured and was unable to create weapons with excessively high power. In addition, the Herrscher of Reason's information was in the database of the Fire Moth, so it was not difficult for Lin to win.

But this doesn't mean it will be easy.

The hand covered with broken gauntlets grabbed the leg of the Ruler of Reason who was trying to fly upwards, and the other hand grabbed the corpse of the Honkai beast on the ground, and with a sudden force, smashed the Ruler of Reason, which had lost a wing, to the ground.

A blue light fell from the sky, stepped on the raised hand of the Ruler of Reason with one foot, stabbed the dagger in her back with the inverted grip, and twisted it——

"Zi-"

Blood splattered onto his face from the gaps in his broken helmet.

"Huh...huh...huh..."

Lin put down the dagger, fell to the ground, and put one hand on the back of someone's hand among the corpses.

His battle this time was similar to a suicide attack. Even if the simulated body died, it would not affect the normal body outside. In order to quickly get rid of the Ruler of Reason, he almost ruined his body.

However, the virtual body will not recover automatically. In order to achieve the purpose of training, the amount of data of each person is set at the beginning of the simulation training, and it cannot heal itself.

It seemed that the previous civilization ended at the hands of the Ruler of Reason. The last of humanity's military strength was exhausted, and then the Ruler of Reason who was not completely dead suddenly attacked the tower, killed Lin and ended the previous civilization.

However, in this simulated scenario, Lin was able to slightly change the final direction.

He stumbled back to the tower.

In order to stop the Ruler of Reason outside the tower in time, he broke the elevator, so he could only climb up little by little with his half-broken leg.

But soon, he no longer had to worry about climbing to the third-to-last floor.

Lin stood at the stairs, looking down at him condescendingly. The warmth in his eyes disappeared, and he looked at him with a look that Lin was familiar with.

This kind of look most often appears in Mei's eyes.

"You seem to be very familiar with the Herrscher of Reason. I have never seen the weapons you use. And the helmet is probably not just for protecting the head and covering the face." Lin narrowed his eyes. This was his subconscious habit. "Who are you? If you are a human, why have I never seen you before? If you are a Herrscher, why did you attack the Herrscher of Reason?"

"..."

This Lin was just the last human being of the previous civilization simulated using data, but he sensed something was wrong in this virtual world.

"…Also, Sakura is not my wife."

"..."

Seeing Lin looking up in surprise, Lin dispersed his serious expression and smiled slightly: "You rushed out without saying a word and found where she was, and it seemed that you knew her."

"…Don't you find it strange?"

"I am indeed very curious. I have been curious about many things since my childhood, and it seems to me that the solutions to these puzzles are simple." Lin pointed at his helmet, "Take off your helmet."

Lin and Lin looked at each other for a few seconds. He sighed, said nothing, pressed the helmet with both hands, and took off the helmet with a broken corner from his head.

After seeing Lin's appearance, Lin did not show any surprise or shock, he just nodded with relief.

"I see... Am I real or fake now?"

"Does it matter? Whether it's real or fake, you are now your own will."

"I just wanted to confirm what the current situation is, but I already know from my conversation with you."

"...Did you leave this data behind?"

"I don't know, maybe it's just a coincidence." Lin said to Lin with a smile. There was a light in his eyes, as if he was not a virtual character simulated, but a living person standing here.

"In our time, there are many people like you who are determined to fight to the end. Even if the final victory cannot bring about the survival of mankind, they still swear to defend this last piece of territory belonging to mankind."

Lin turned his head and looked at the sea of ​​blood and corpses outside the window. He stared at the human corpses, among which were people he knew and people he didn't know. In the end, they lay together, experiencing the same death.

"Do you think I'm afraid of death? Even if all humans have died, I'm still here, watching my compatriots fight a battle they can't win."

"Yes, I should be afraid of death. As a commander, even if my comrades, friends, relatives, and wife die in front of me, I must endure it. They all believe that I can fight for the hope of survival for mankind and lead mankind to move forward, so I cannot die."

"I've been in this steel coffin for so long that I almost forgot what I was like before."

Lin lowered his head with regret, and stood on the stairs staring at Lin's face.

Gradually, the data dissipated, starting from his feet and spreading to the surrounding buildings.

The data for this simulation has reached its end.

Lin whispered, "Aren't you going to hug your wife? Maybe at that time you..."

"That's not my wife. How could I possibly hug someone else's lover?"

Lin smiled brilliantly and disappeared.

"So you must hug her tightly..."

After the light faded, Lin stood in a data space with nothing in it, looking at Sakura who was gradually opening her eyes.

He looked up and did not see the "abnormal" data.

……

"This is what I left for you... sizzle——"

Lin watched in silence as the data collector in his hand overloaded. The shrill alarm echoed in the empty tower. He turned his head to look at the approaching Herrscher of Reason on the screen.

He put down the data collector in his hand. It seemed that it was too late to leave more things for the civilization that would be born in the future. He hoped that they could discover the legacy he left behind.

After activating the tower's self-destruct mode, he glanced at the countdown and came to the room on the third-to-last floor, but just as he was about to go in, he stopped.

He lifted the metal foot in mid-air and slowly retracted it.

Lin didn't even look at the person "sleeping" inside. He turned around and took the elevator out of the tower.

Looking up at the bright moon vaguely appearing behind the clouds, he pulled out a broken blade from the ground and walked towards the approaching Herr of Reason.

"Come on, I am the last human being."

The man leaped up and fell like a meteor.

Chapter 28 Awakening

Sakura stuck her head out of the simulation cabin that was giving her a headache, took a deep breath of the icy cold night air, and her groggy brain became a little clearer.

Her lifeless pupils solidified, making the blurry world clear, and a hand was already extended in front of her.

"...Thank you." Ying grabbed her hand and thanked her quietly, not knowing whether Lin heard it or not.

The lights in the simulation room were still on, but the room was empty. Someone must have seen that someone was still using the simulation room and ignored it. If Lin hadn't corrected the error in time, they might have been trapped for a while.

Ying's consciousness was still not very clear, and the rejection reaction was still affecting her. She stood up, held the cabin door, and looked at Lin who was checking the simulation data, with a complicated look on her face.

Although her data was reconstructed into the body of Lin's wife from the previous civilization, she was still able to feel what happened at that time.

Sometimes this person is so cold that people feel he is just a machine, and sometimes he is extremely emotional. After being reorganized into the Poison Pupa Squad, she thought Lin had become more emotional, but in this simulated world, she didn’t know how to describe this person.

Did he do those things for the information of the previous civilization, or to be able to save her, or even for that fake...Lin?

Although it was only for a moment, when leaving there, Sakura saw Lin without the helmet.

After she recovered from her initial shock at his appearance, she thought of the bland look on his face.

There was clearly no expression on his face, but he still conveyed an inexplicable sense of melancholy.

"Um, Lin..." Seeing Lin walking towards the gate from the simulation cabin where he couldn't get any useful information, she couldn't help but call him, but she didn't even know why she called him.

"..." When Lin turned around and looked at her with a serious look, she became a little nervous.

What followed was a long, despairing silence.

After the minute hand of the quarter-hour in the simulation room passed another mark, Ying was still regretting why she said that when Lin, who had been staring at her, spoke in an indifferent tone, "Do you want to go get something to eat?"

"Eh? Eh."

Ying followed Lin in a daze without even looking back.

……

It's called eating, but actually it's cooking instant noodles...

Ying sat in the living room of Lin's room, glancing at his back awkwardly as he leisurely waited for the water to boil in the kitchen.

The structure of the rooms in Fire Moth is similar. The only difference between the private rooms is the direction of the kitchen and bathroom. When Ying walked into Lin's room, she almost thought that Lin took her to her room.

The height of both of their rooms is similar.

The reason is not that the layout is similar, but that they have not arranged anything, and they all look like they have been restored to factory settings.

However, they both have one thing in common, that is, they both have a few photos on their desks.

Ying posted a photo of her and Ling. She was a little curious about whose photo Lin would post, but she didn't want to blatantly pry into other people's privacy.

So after thinking it over, she stood up and walked towards the kitchen, saying as she walked: "Lin, why don't I do it..."

"No need." Lin took out the noodles from the bag. Ying took a look at it and the muscles on her face twitched slightly. He actually bought two noodles in a pack. Is he so frugal?

"I can cook, but recently someone treated me to instant noodles." Lin used chopsticks to stir the noodles and stared calmly at the white foam floating up. "I think...some things I haven't tried before might be good."

This sentence revealed Ying's thoughts. She really thought that Lin might not be able to cook and that was why he was eating instant noodles. When she heard that Lin just wanted to eat instant noodles, she turned around and walked back to the living room embarrassedly.

On the way back, Sakura glanced and saw the pictures in the two photo frames on the table.

One is a group photo of four people, and the other is a group photo of three people. Apart from Lin, there is only a gray-haired girl who doesn’t like to look at the camera in both photos.

Lin with bandages, and Lin standing...

In this brief moment, Ying noticed that Lin's identity seemed to be different in the two photos. Although Lin was also standing in the middle in the first photo, the leadership position seemed to be the red-haired woman. In the second photo, Lin was obviously the leader of the two people.

Ying had heard about the rumors that had been circulating about Lin ever since he joined the Fire Moths.

The fifth and seventh teams?

Cooking instant noodles does not take time or require any skills. Even a five-year-old child can complete the whole process by standing on a stool. After a while, Lin came to the table and sat down with the steaming instant noodles.

It's really just instant noodles...

Ying thought that Lin would put some simple vegetarian dishes in it, but she didn't expect that Lin would just eat instant noodles. In the spicy soup, only the few and inconspicuous vegetarian dishes in the side dish package could be seen.

Lin handed her the chopsticks, and without much hesitation, she picked up a handful of noodles and lifted up her helmet to eat.

"I'm starting." Ying clasped her hands together and said politely in a low voice, but when she picked up the chopsticks to eat, she saw that Lin's noodles stopped at the edge of his mouth and he was staring at her.
