I'm not Yingjie

"What? Are you scared? Don't be ashamed of your desire to survive. Humans have been pursuing immortality since ancient times. This is an instinct engraved in their genes."

"But I advise you to accept it as soon as possible. I don't want to take over a failure whose spirit has become fragile."

Lin closed his eyes and pondered for a while, his tone did not change at all, and he said in his usual calm voice: "I understand."

"..."

"..."

"You..." Mobius narrowed his eyes, as if trying to see the panic hidden under Lin Ping's calmness.

But no matter how she looked, she could not see his despair, because from the beginning, there was no such thing.

"Hmph... That's right. People who can endure that kind of surgery really don't have much fear of death." Mobius snorted coldly, and her originally happy mood plummeted. She stabbed Lin in a sarcastic tone and turned around to leave.

Alicia turned around, waved to Lin, and hurriedly followed.

She walked to Mobius and asked with a smile: "Dr. Mobius, what is the agreement between you and Lin? I'm curious~"

"Why don't you just ask him?" Mebius rolled his eyes at her.

"Lin will definitely just pretend to be silent. Please, my good Mobius, tell me something interesting." Alicia's eyes sparkled, and she almost threw herself on Mobius. "Could it be that it's something shameful..."

"It's so annoying." Mobius was fed up with Alicia's pitiful pleas. She couldn't remember how many times she had seen Alicia pretending to be so lovable. Every time, she felt uncomfortable both mentally and physically.

So she simply crossed her arms and said coldly to Alicia: "It's very simple, I will give him a little help, and then he will give me everything."

"'A little help'... I remember that one of the items in Lin's injury diagnosis was that two toxins destroyed his pain nerves. One was the same toxin as the Judgment-level Honkai Beast Shesha, and the other was an unknown artificial synthetic toxin. Dr. Mobius, this is not a good idea..."

The meaning of Alicia's words was self-evident.

"Haha, he still has to thank me." Mebius said with disdain.

"Ding ding." A message was sent to Mobius's communicator.

Mebius picked it up and looked at it, his expression turned strange.

"what happened?"

"No, nothing... This was sent by that guy in the repair cabin." Mebius read out the contents delicately.

"'Thanks'."

Chapter 19 Live for Me

"..."

"..."

Looking at each other speechless.

The people of Fire Moth have long been accustomed to Lin's aloofness and taciturnity, but this will still require a transition process for Kevin.

Lin looked at the Fire Moth uniform on Kevin.

Kevin was looking at Lin, who looked like a specimen soaked in formalin.

After a long silence, Kevin sighed, lowered his head and said softly: "Lin, I have joined the Fire Moth."

"I can see that."

"……You're angry?"

After arriving at the Fire Moth, Kevin realized that Lin had been doing these things, and understood that he had been hiding the truth just to protect him and Mei.

But now, Mei joined the Fire Moth, and Kevin volunteered to join for her. Their decision was equivalent to making all Lin's efforts in vain.

"No." The voice sounded a little distorted on the intercom.

"Okay...Lin, are you really okay?"

"It's okay. I'll probably be released from there and transferred to a normal ward tomorrow."

The fact that he was eroded by Honkai energy was not announced to the public. Lin's reputation became famous after the defeat of the Third Herrscher. It was the moment when the Fire Moths needed to boost morale, so they deliberately promoted him in the direction of a human hero.

After learning about this, Lin remained indifferent, which in a sense was tacit approval of what the Fire Moth did.

But in fact, he didn't have no opinion on it, he just felt it was meaningless.

If a person is a hero, he will sooner or later become a leader of the world. In contrast, a soldier pushed by the trend of the times will not become a meaningless hero even if he is packaged perfectly.

"Okay, then Lin, I'll come see you tomorrow and ask Mei to come along... Never mind, she's been very busy lately... Don't worry, I'll come see you, and when you get better I'll give you an album of Eden!" The white-haired boy experienced the third collapse but was still able to smile strongly and cheerfully, which made Lin feel relieved and he nodded in response.

Lin looked at Kevin's back.

Human beings are very peculiar creatures.

What can destroy their minds is often not sudden misfortunes and terrible disasters. Most of them only make people more united, stronger and more powerful.

Rather, they are tiny, imperceptible things that accumulate without you noticing.

Just like the loss of soil and water, the sand is swept away. Change does not happen overnight, but by the time you notice it, it is already irreversible.

……

Lin pushed the wheelchair slowly under the light and soon found the room number he was looking for. He reached out, knocked on the door, and pushed it open and walked in.

The gray-haired girl stood beside the bed in a daze. When she heard a knock on the door, she wanted to get up and open it, but she didn't expect Lin to come in before her.

Lin glanced at the room that was fully equipped but hardly used, and then looked at the tattered uniform that Hua had not changed into.

"You are……"

Lin's entire body is now wrapped in bandages. In order to protect the newly grown skin from being damaged, his body has been given necessary protection, but the mummy-like appearance made Hua unable to recognize him at first.

Fortunately, Hua guessed who Lin was after seeing his sharp eyes that could emit air-splitting eye spikes.

"After you came here, you stayed indoors. You didn't eat anything except the necessary food, and you didn't accept the conditions to return to society." Lin repeated what others had told him before coming here, gave her some time to think, and then said, "Let me be clear in advance. The Fire Moth will not raise a pig that only knows how to eat and sleep."

Hua Shu's long eyelashes trembled.

"I know you are confused now. Most people in the Fire Moth have had similar experiences, but that doesn't mean we will let you stay here until you figure it out. In fact, I am here to give you psychological counseling, and my attitude has always been this: either go or stay."

Lin threw some cruel words at Hua.

He forced Hua to make a choice. He could see that Hua was a person who didn't know how to act without a goal, which was commonly known as having no opinion. She usually needed others to help her make decisions, but Lin gave her the choice, not for her, so no matter how cruel it was, she had to recognize the current situation.

"Go...stay..." Hua murmured in a trance.

"Your father has died in the third collapse. I feel very sorry. If you want to return to normal society, the Fire Moth will arrange for you to go anywhere, and you can also go traveling... Of course, you can't go to the severely affected areas."

leave?

This might be a good choice. She still knows nothing about everything, the Fire Moth does not need her as a person, and she can also find a new life goal in the rest of her life.

By then Hua might be grateful to Lin for giving her the power to choose.

but now……

"I..." Hua covered her head in pain. She leaned against the wall and whispered, "Please tell me, what should I do..."

"What you do is your business, not mine."

"But, I don't know... You said I should live for myself, but I can't do it..."

Live for others.

Hua has always lived like this.

Lin suddenly felt that the painful girl in front of him overlapped with himself.

Hua clenched her fists, as if she wanted to use all her strength to answer this question. She gritted her teeth and said, "Please tell me what those are and what goals I need to pursue."

"…Are you ready?"

“People can’t prepare most of the time.”

Just like those who died in the collapse, her father and her friends, their lives were wiped out in this world as if by an eraser, disappearing suddenly and without a trace.

She tried to cheer herself up, but it looked more like a plea: "If this is the lifelong pursuit I need, please tell me. You are the one who saved me and gave me a new life."

"..."

Lin Shaoyou was silent not because he didn't want to talk. He looked at the girl's expression, which was fragile and fragile, like a piece of handicraft.

Again, there is definitely no shortage of people like her among the Fire Moths.

But all along, it was these people who, with hatred for Honkai, went to the front lines and died on the battlefield.

Regardless of the perspective, they all died for humanity. Even if it was hatred, it eventually turned into mercy to continue the fire of life.

So he opened his mouth.

"Fire Moth, an organization that fights against Honkai."

Lin's introduction was brief and powerful, and this was the only characterization he gave of the Fire Moth.

"I am a soldier of the Fire Moth, and you will also become a member of the Fire Moth, but I hope you will not become a soldier, but a warrior."

"besides……"

At this moment, Lin remembered the voice he heard at that time.

"If you don't know who to live for, live for me."

Chapter 20 You are the embodiment of my ideal

The follow-up impact of the third collapse is still deepening, radiating from Changkong City, and the collapse energy can escape to other areas and cause local small-scale collapse. Judging from the experience of only three collapses, the post-disaster work needs considerable attention. If you are not careful, a small-scale collapse may turn into a large-scale collapse.

In addition, the Fire Moth suffered the most casualties in the battle against the Third Herrscher, so the Fire Moth also began to recruit new personnel and reorganize the team, and everyone was busy.

Of course, the loudest voices and the most noisy ones in recent days have to be the various research departments.

The corpse of the third apostle of Honkai is undoubtedly the most valuable trophy in this disaster. Humans know too little about Honkai, and the Herrscher is the most concrete manifestation of Honkai, so all scientific researchers put down their half-finished research and gathered together to discuss the third Herrscher.

There was only one exception, and that was Mebius.

She disdained a group of people getting together to argue over trivial issues. She said that parliament was the crystallization of human stupidity. Ignorant and self-satisfied people gathered together are just a bunch of cobblers. Even if there was only one Zhuge Liang, he was still Zhuge Liang.

Moreover, Mebius had no intention of participating in research that was already outdated for her, and she would not allow others to interfere with her research. Sooner or later, she would get the body of the Third Herrscher.

In addition, there is actually another department that is also quite busy.

"I thought you would stay in bed for ten days or half a month." Delta, the director of the Science and Technology Department, handed over a bottle of cold coffee with dark circles under his eyes. After Lin shook his head to refuse, he did not get angry. He shrugged and opened the bottle and took a sip.

After listening in a daze for a while among the noisy guys, he lost interest. He preferred practice to theory, so he fled back to the research department to continue his development.

Lin leaned back in his wheelchair, his sight focused on a certain spot the moment he entered here.

The huge mechanical humanoid has undergone a drastic change in appearance compared to the last time. The originally thick and somewhat bloated shell has been greatly simplified, and the streamlined body makes its lines look much more graceful and no longer sharp. The previously exposed cluster missiles have also been optimized and hidden under the outer armor.

TT-079 modified is the subsequent improved model of the first version of the experimental Titan. It was manufactured after Lin proposed the need to improve its mobility. Compared with the first version of the experimental Titan, the second unit is designed to be put into combat, but it has been completed less than % so far.

"Originally, we wanted to build the pilot-type Titan into a humanoid arsenal, so we added everything that could be carried, but considering your combat style and the overlap in the subsequent AI-type Titan development direction, we made adjustments to the armament."

Delta liked Lin's enthusiasm the most. Most of the others just came to get their stuff and left, making his place look like a tasteless weapon shop. Lin, on the other hand, would listen to Delta's story patiently regardless of whether he was interested or not. He was the best companion for a chatterbox like him.

Delta took two sips of coffee, wiped off the black stains at the corners of his mouth, and pointed to the weapon backpack displayed not far away: "The Titan's main body is not equipped with too many weapons, only a large-caliber particle gun and a miniature cluster missile loaded on the shoulder. Of course, you can also tear the Honkai beast apart with your bare hands. I am quite confident in adjusting the Titan's wrist output."

"Before each battle, you can replace the armed backpack according to the required combat situation. After loading, you can use the corresponding burst core. Currently, the sword-equipped backpack and the cannon-equipped backpack have been completed. There is also a floating cannon backpack under development, but unfortunately the anti-gravity propulsion system has reached a bottleneck. It will take a long time to develop it."

"I'm looking forward to seeing what the scene will be like when your brain's information processing ability uses the floating gun. After all, AI can never be as flexible as humans in adapting to circumstances."

Lin stared at the remaining exposed metal skeleton of the Titan and nodded imperceptibly.

He knows Delta quite well. As long as this person puts in his passion, he will definitely see results and achieve perfection.

After Delta finished introducing Titan, he didn't seem tired at all. He drank the coffee in one gulp and walked to the warehouse with reluctance. He took out a... samurai sword?

Most of the handle is made of matte gray-blue metal. The sea-blue blade that pops out in front of the blade exudes a chill visible to the naked eye. The shape is longer than the last high-frequency cutting knife, and it is exactly the same length as an ordinary samurai sword. Judging from the shape, it is not the last experimental product, but a finished product.

"The high-frequency cutting knife was broken when we went to recycle it. What a pity. It was one of my most proud creations."

"..." Lin thought of the high-frequency cutting knife that he lost in the battle, and lowered his head in shame for a moment, "I'm sorry."

"You actually know how to apologize. You often go out fully equipped and come back with only a pile of rags left. The logistics department scolded you and me." Delta scratched his head in distress when he thought of that scene. This kind of thing happened more than once. No matter how he explained that Lin's fighting style was like that, he still got criticized.

"..."

"Haha, don't worry about it, let's get back to the topic." Delta rubbed his dark circles, and showed the knife to Lin with a pleased expression, "I call this knife Plasma Shadow Show. It was developed at the same time as the high-frequency cutting knife and was completed recently."

"Don't get too close. I won't be responsible if you accidentally freeze your new skin."

Delta took out a scabbard that was also made of metal parts, and put the plasma shadow show in it, and then the cold air subsided.
