I'm not Yingjie

"You just made this up again?"

Lin opened the door and turned on the light. He was very satisfied with the cleanliness of his home which should add a lot of points to his impression.

Prometheus didn't pay any attention to the layout of the room. Instead, he took off his bag and fumbled for something inside.

"The indoor slippers are on the shelf." Lin put on indoor slippers and began to think about whether he should cook a good meal today.

Prometheus closed the door, locked it without leaving a trace, took off his shoes, and followed Lin into the living room wearing black stockings.

"Huh? Why don't you change your shoes?"

"Because it won't be used in a while." Prometheus explained calmly, "A balanced bomb will explode as long as the holder tilts. The principle is simple, but it has no practical use. So it's actually very simple to make, but no one has done it."

"…So, has anyone made this bomb now?"

"Have."

Prometheus said to Lin slowly: "Lin, can you close your eyes and stretch out your hands? I have a gift for you."

Although Lin was still a little confused as to why Prometheus suddenly gave him a gift, he did not think too much about it, closed his eyes and stretched out his hand.

Soon, a heavy feeling came from his palm, and as Prometheus pressed something on that thing, a slight opening sound was heard.

"Okay, open your eyes."

Lin opened his eyes and looked at the...

bomb.

Something that looks like a bomb no matter how you look at it.

"...Um, Miss Prometheus, may I ask this...could it be..." Lin's cold sweat began to appear on the back of his head. He laughed dryly and looked at Prometheus standing in front of him.

But Prometheus did not answer him, but began to unbutton his coat.

"…Why does this thing look like a bomb? Why did you take off your clothes?"

"Well... it's hard to explain, but basically, I like you and want you to be mine."

Prometheus' expressionless face now showed a hint of smile.

"But, but... this is not good." Lin swallowed his saliva. He finally realized that this girl seemed to have an additional purpose. "How about forget it?"

The gray-haired girl who took off her coat tilted her head and smiled, "Only the strong have the right to refuse."

Lin's brain suddenly exploded with a buzz. Wasn't this what he said when he was chatting with Kevin?

How did she know this?

"Be careful, Lin. If you're not careful and the balance device in the bomb tilts, the whole house will be blown up." Prometheus approached Lin step by step and forced him into a corner.

Lin really didn't dare to move. He stared in horror at the bomb in his hand and the girl who revealed her true face.

"Don't worry, as long as we keep going for three hours, the bomb will automatically disarm. During this time..."

"Shh!"

Lin's clothes were torn.

Tears welled up in his eyes, and out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of an open notebook that fell out of the girl's bag.

There are some words written on it.

"September 9st. Lin is very depressed today... I want to be better."

"On September 9, Lin is suppressing campus violence again... I want to surpass him."

"On September 9, the class was discussing how scary Lin's smile was... he wanted to surpass her."

"On September 9, I used a telescope to observe Lin for a whole day... I wanted to surpass him."

"I want Lin to be inseparable from me, whether it's emotionally or...physically."

The notebook was filled with densely written words, and at this moment, Lin realized what the girl meant by "audience".

She had been observing him for a long time.

“No, don’t…don’t.”

"Hehehe... You're so cute, Lin." Prometheus put his hands on Lin's palms to help him steady the bomb, and he slowly...slowly...sat down.

"Do you know how long I have been waiting for this moment? From enduring loneliness to enduring desire, these are all given to me by you! So now, it is normal for me to take back the loneliness that you took away from me...

"It really makes me unable to hold back."

Lin trembled and stepped back, but he couldn't retreat any further: "No——"

……

After seven hours.

Lin's door was gently blown open by the wind, and Lin was lying in the aisle with a dazed look in his eyes and saliva dripping from the corners of his mouth.

Then a slender hand grabbed his shoulder and slowly... dragged him back to the bedroom.

Chapter 41: Visitors from Outer Space

"Hua, there are only two of us for this investigation. Remember to conserve your energy." Imer handed Hua a bottle of mineral water, but Hua, who had been silent all the time, shook his head to refuse.

She looked worried, the second time she had that expression since learning that Lin had left Team 7.

"Don't worry too much. This is just a simple investigation." Imer opened the water and took a sip. He licked the corners of his mouth that were dry after the long journey. "The mission says that we don't need to fight against the things we investigate."

After Lin left, Team 7 was temporarily without a leader and only carried out some simple investigation tasks. The precious and excellent troops were so scarce that losing any one of them would be tantamount to a serious injury.

"No, I'm just wondering if there have been too many abnormal phenomena recently?"

Hua tightened her leather gloves as she walked through the desolate area. At a glance, there was no trace of any living creature, not even a single plant.

This place is actually in the tropics, so this phenomenon is obviously abnormal.

"There are two emperor-level Honkai beasts that appeared this month alone. In the past, except for large Honkai beasts, emperor-level Honkai beasts were rarely born." Hua walked around alertly. It was unusually quiet here. "And the types of Honkai beasts and death warriors have also increased by leaps and bounds."

"...The strength of Honkai is constantly increasing. I'm afraid that before it truly ends, the arms race between humans and Honkai will continue." Imer also nodded in agreement, "And this abnormal Honkai energy phenomenon..."

"We're almost there, just ahead." Hua suddenly raised her hand to stop Imer. She stared ahead cautiously, and Imer followed her gaze and took out his weapons and detector.

The abnormal Honkai energy phenomenon has not yet been officially named. This special phenomenon that has occurred frequently in the past half month has appeared for the first time in the southeast of Shenzhou. The Honkai energy detector covering the entire Shenzhou showed that the Honkai energy in a certain place had increased by five percentage points. Then it appeared six times in succession in various places in Shenzhou within half a month.

The overall increase in Honkai energy is not large, and can basically only cause small-scale Honkai, but the increase each time is constant, which is worthy of attention.

Therefore, the headquarters sent out some teams to investigate, including the Seventh Team.

The two people's eyes converged on the same point, which was a small concave pit that didn't seem to be very deep. Judging from the reaction of the Honkai energy on the detector, the Honkai energy near this pit was abnormally high.

They looked at each other, silently grasped their weapons, and cautiously walked towards the small pit.

When they got close enough to see the inside of the pit, they stood on tiptoe and looked inside. What they saw was...

Nothing at all.

This small pit looks neat and tidy, and you can see the end at a glance, so you can see at a glance that there is nothing inside.

There were no strange plants, and no Honkai beasts appeared.

But even so, they did not let down their guard, but went to the small pit to investigate.

"No doubt about it. The collapse energy of this place exceeds the normal level." Imer, wearing protective gloves, rubbed the edge of the small pit. He frowned, as if he noticed something wrong. "Hua, the ground below is compacted... There was something in the pit."

"Judging from its shape, it is half a person's height. To be able to make a dent in the ground with this size, its mass and height should not be low." Hua raised his head and looked at the unobstructed sky.

There are no high terrains like cliffs in this place, so where did it "fall" from?

"Hua... this pit is vertical."

Imer's face was solemn. He stood up and also looked up at the sky.

"That is to say, this fell from 'the sky', and what fell has most likely already left."

……

"Captain's meeting, what a hassle."

Himiko was lying on the conference table bored, waiting for the meeting to begin. In addition to her, the captains of other teams were also present, but the number of people was really too small to fill the conference table.

The soldiers lost in the sixth collapse were not just ordinary low-ranking soldiers, but also captain-level figures.

"...Kevin, you look more and more like your good friend recently." When Himiko has nothing to do, she will most likely drag others to do nothing with her. She stared at Kevin, who stood upright and looked cold, and said, "I kind of miss the time when you were a sunny and cheerful boy."

Kevin crossed his arms and glanced at her: "...You are not the same as before."

"Oh? I think I'm normal?"

Is this normal? Kevin doesn’t think so. In the past, Himiko might have been a bit out of tune sometimes, especially fond of drinking, but she rarely lost her dignity in public.

But now she seems to be too "cheerful", even a little deliberate.

But Kevin didn't say anything more. He was indeed much quieter. Maybe he would have talked more with Himiko before, but now, he didn't have the mood... nor the need.

"Speaking of which, where is Alicia?" Himiko looked around but didn't see the pink figure. If Alicia was there, she would definitely not be bored. It's a pity that the meeting is about to start and she hasn't seen her yet.

"She seems ill."

"…are you sick?"

"I don't know either. This is how she asked for leave." Kevin said lightly.

Himiko complained: "What a good excuse. I'll use this interface to ask for leave next time."

Their chat didn't end with the next sentence. The girl with long hair and white robe stepped into the meeting room on time. She was holding a paper document in her hand and put it on the table. Then she pushed her glasses and looked at the team leaders.

"Alicia is sick, so is Hen on a mission... Let's start the meeting. I'll make it short. This is actually a meeting to redistribute existing personnel and new recruits."

Mei, a scientific researcher, has an aura that is no less powerful than that of the battle-hardened soldiers present. Rather, her unique temperament is unmatched by those of them who have experienced countless life and death experiences.

Her role in executing the meeting was more of a message-passing role. She was in charge of the contact between the top management and the captain, which in disguise gave Mei a certain degree of coordination power.

"The latest number of new soldiers is 5,000."

The calm voice that came out of those thin lips startled everyone present.

Five...thousand?

They all wondered if they heard wrongly.

The previous number of soldiers and logistics at the Fire Moth headquarters was less than half of this number.

"Among them, four thousand will serve as permanent troops, and the remaining one thousand will be assigned to various teams. It is expected that each team will increase by fifty people." Mei quickly flipped through the information in her hands. After briefly explaining the recruitment and allocation, she looked at Himiko.

"The original Seventh Squad will be merged into the Fifth Squad and will go to Australia to perform the garrison mission together with the soldiers who joined this time. The Fourteenth and Fifteenth Squads will also perform the garrison mission at the same time."

"According to our investigation, the number of small-scale Houkai incidents in Australia has increased by 200% in the past month. In addition, fires continue to interfere with cleanup. It is difficult for local branches to complete the removal of Houkai alone, so additional personnel are sent to carry out subjugation and cleanup tasks."

"And the first and thirteenth teams will go to Shenzhou to carry out the investigation mission."

"The target is... an alien."

Chapter 42 Wounds

"…Why, are you mitosis? Or is it a tactical doll expansion?"

Mobius, who was originally revising the plan on the blackboard, was now staring coldly at Lin and the helmeted man next to him who looked almost exactly like him. From her curvy figure and female uniform, it was obvious that she was a woman.

It is not difficult to guess who he was talking about making lunch for.

Is there actually a woman who shares the same interests with this guy?

"She is Dr. Mobius, my..." Linton thought for a few seconds and said, "friend."

"Friend? You should be the master, right?" Mebius sarcastically retorted, "When did we become so close? Shouldn't you have given me everything?"

"...Indeed." Lin couldn't refute it.

Mebius fixed his sights on the girl, and took a closer look at her helmet. "Who is she then? Why would I introduce me to her?"

"She is……"

"Lin's wife."

"..."

The circulation of air slowed down dramatically.

Mobius stared silently at the girl who had spoken, then glanced coldly at Lin, seeing that he did not refute.
