I'm not Yingjie

"What do you mean..."

"Roar----"

Suddenly, a creepy howl overwhelmed the hustle and bustle of the city and stopped their conversation.

"Roar!"

Then, the howling came closer.

Chapter 58 An Accident

"What's that sound? A movie advertisement?" The agent looked in the direction of the sound in confusion. There are usually big screens playing advertisements in commercial areas of cities, and it is also normal to show movie trailers.

But isn’t this sound a little too loud?

Eden also looked over there curiously. She remembered that direction seemed to be the construction zone that was blocked today...

Wait a minute, the area was just blocked today... why are there howling sounds coming from it?

"Oh!"

A loud bang stunned them, and the car's violent shaking made them subconsciously look towards the source.

A strange giant creature, a combination of pale white and fleshy pink, was licking its paws on the ground not far ahead.

Its body blocked the entire street, and beneath it was the ground with a huge pit smashed into it.

"What... is that?" Eden had not yet realized what the appearance of the monster meant.

"howl--"

The monster howled to the sky, then overturned the oncoming truck with one claw. Its huge body did not affect its speed at all. It started to rush around like a high-speed train. The buildings were like tofu blocks under its body and would collapse easily with just a slight scratch.

"Squeak-"

The agent finally reacted at this moment. She started the engine, put it in reverse gear, and stepped on the accelerator to the bottom in an attempt to get away from the monster.

"W-W-What is that!?"

The panic caused by the monster began to spread in an instant. The people who fled in all directions screamed, and the monster unscrupulously stretched out its claws towards the fleeing people, wanting to crush them.

But they overlooked one thing: living things tend to pay attention to more lively "things", such as... a car that is speeding and moving away from it.

"Howl!" It opened its bloody mouth, stretched its entire body, and aimed at Eden and her friends' car like a slingshot.

"No! Don't come over here!" The agent cried for help in fear, and Eden could hardly maintain his composure at this time. He was sweating profusely and his eyes were wide open.

It seemed as if they would be crushed in the next second.

"boom!"

The monster's body rose into the air and came towards them like a cannonball.

Oops……

Many things flashed through Eden's mind like a fleeting glance.

Death is so sudden and merciless.

There are no romantic scenes before death in operas, no affectionate and moving lines, and no meaningful words about death in songs.

It simply arrived, that's all.

"Oh!"

Eden collapsed in the passenger seat, feeling dizzy. Her groggy brain had no idea what was happening. The airbag popped out and buried her entire face in it. Her agent next to her had fainted.

They were not crushed into a discus and rolled into a ball with the car.

what is going on……

At the moment before the monster landed, it seemed like something hit it. It did not hit the car directly, but the shock wave from the landing still blew the car away.

Surviving the disaster did not bring her any joy, because now she was not necessarily saved.

"Oh!"

"Roar!"

The roar of the monster was nearby, along with the sound of the city being destroyed, it was deafening and made Eden cover his ears and tremble.

But she also noticed that the monster's voice seemed a little different from before...

It was like the roar of a wounded beast trying to intimidate the enemy.

Eden hesitated again and again, and carefully stuck his head out of the window...

"Oh!"

A streak of light that was invisible to the naked eye hit the monster's head head-on, and purple blood spurted out from its wound like a shower.

The stream of light also stopped above the monster's head, revealing his figure.

A man wearing strange armor and a helmet, holding a long knife in his reverse hand and a pistol in the other hand. It seemed that the bloody knife was the cause of the wound.

Next to the monster and the helmeted man, there was an abandoned small transport plane that had never been seen before. It was very likely that it was the transport plane that knocked the monster away.

Who is that man? What is he doing? Isn't he afraid of that monster?

Just when she was still confused, the helmeted man's next action completely stunned her.

When the monster tried to use its terrifying eyes to catch the bug on its head, the helmeted man held a knife in one hand and a pistol in the other, and stabbed the knife into the monster's eyes while shooting.

In an instant, blood splattered everywhere.

The helmeted man was like a flying insect or butterfly. He nimbly grabbed the monster's sharp claws and swung them out. He hung upside down in the air and with one knife he cut off the monster's two legs, which were pitifully small compared to its claws.

When he supported himself with one hand and turned over, the monster had already fallen to the ground with a bang. Having lost its sight and feet, it could only use its two front paws to attack the surroundings blindly.

The helmeted man jumped up again onto its body, holding the long knife in both hands, and stabbed it into a certain part of the monster's body without mercy.

Twist it hard——

"Shh."

The smelly pink and purple blood splattered on Eden's dull face.

"..."

The monster stopped moving.

"Are you ok?"

Another voice startled Eden and she came back to her senses. The burning blood on her face was still emitting a fishy smell, but she didn't care about anything else. She turned her head and saw a pink-haired woman who was also dressed strangely and had a cold expression standing next to the car.

"I...I..." Eden hesitated. She didn't know what to say now.

What is all this?

The pink-haired woman asked calmly, "Is there anyone else in the car who needs help?"

"Yes, yes! There is someone in the car! Please help!" Eden nodded quickly.

At this moment, the helmeted man pulled the knife out of the monster's body, jumped down from the nearly seven or eight meter high body, and landed in front of the car.

"Yes... a speed-specialized Honkai beast, a brand new species... it caused chaos, please clean up immediately..." He seemed to be talking to someone, and his steady voice sounded familiar to Eden, "... it was not stopped immediately after its birth, so it broke through the encirclement and can jump to a height of nearly fifty meters... Yes, I understand."

After ending the communication, the helmeted man said to the woman who was about to cut open the locked car door: "There is a new mission."

"I understand. Let's rescue them first."

The helmeted man also nodded, then came to the passenger door. The metal door was in his hand like a building in the monster's hand. He pulled it off with a casual pull, then touched Eden's seat belt and carried her out.

"Thank you..." Eden breathed a sigh of relief. Although he still didn't know what happened after he fell to the ground, he should be saved now.

"...Eden?"

The helmeted man asked in confusion.

Chapter 59: Consciousness Exploration

The shaking carriage made a tiny creaking sound.

The pink-haired woman had a calm face and no emotion could be seen, while the helmeted man who sat as upright as a statue also said nothing. This extremely depressing atmosphere made Eden and her agent feel a huge pressure on their shoulders.

What they encountered was no longer an emergency.

Eden's turbulent mood gradually calmed down as the carriage swayed.

On the contrary, my mind became active.

"Um..." She spoke cautiously, wanting to ask where the two were planning to take them.

"Eden announced that the next concert tour will be held in central Australia. She chooses to hold concerts in Australia in mid-July every year to comfort the Australian people who have suffered heavy losses due to the bushfires."

The muffled voice of the helmeted man inside the helmet suddenly reached Eden's ears. He remained motionless without moving even a finger, but he was reading the information about Eden.

"you know me?"

“No one will fail to recognize you.”

Lin looked at Eden and her agent coldly. He had not expected such a big mistake in this mission.

Because when Himiko notified them, the mutated Honkai beast had already been born. It was a Honkai beast specialized in speed. It broke through the encirclement of nearby soldiers at an extremely fast speed and went into the crowded city.

Before Lin and his men could return to defend, they had to change their destination. At the critical moment, Lin, who was on the transport plane, noticed that the Honkai beast was wreaking havoc and was about to crush a car, so he drove the transport plane head-on into the Honkai beast.

Then, this is the scene that Eden saw.

"Next I will give you two choices. Apart from that I will not make any other suggestions." Lin spoke in a cold tone.

"Does that mean... that all the choices are made by ourselves?"

"The witnesses just now would have made the same choice, but your influence is too great, so I will have to carry it out."

"……I see."

It was easy for Eden to think of it. As a world-famous singer, her disappearance or any remarks she made would cause a stir in the world. These two people were obviously from a certain organization, and the monster was also something they were hiding, so they had to be treated specially.

"Just tell me." She was a little curious at this point. Who were these two people and the monster? Could his choice be related to them?

"You can choose to go back to your life. We will not interfere with your life, but for the sake of caution we will have the psychologist hypnotize you to a certain extent."

"Change memory?"

"will not."

In fact, it is basically impossible to modify specific memories unless brain surgery is performed. Moreover, at the age of Eden and the others, their brains have already fully developed, so even if memory surgery is performed, the effect will be extremely poor.

Perhaps it will be possible after some progress is made in the subsequent research on consciousness, but for now all we can do is use hypnosis to give them some simple hints and try not to let them tell anyone about the Honkai beasts.

"…This is the first option, right? What about the second one?"

"..."

"Why don't you say it?"

Lin Wei's blue visual window was always staring at Eden's face: "Join us."

Eden was silent for a while, then raised his lips quietly: "Hehe...Excuse me, is there any wine in the car?"

……

"arrive."

Kevin kept staring at the empty seat in front of him. In fact, it was not empty, but there was a star.

This race claims that they gave up their appearance when changing their entire existence, and used a special high-resistance metal-like material with Honkai energy to create a movable body. This material is almost transparent, so it can be said that they have no appearance, and their existence cannot be captured by the naked eye when they are motionless.

And there are many parts of them that are affected by this body, such as emotions being lost in the process of changing bodies. Apart from the differences in logic caused by different memories, they are simply highly consistent rational thinking machines.

According to them... the non-quantitative existence of emotions is the fundamental reason why they failed to overcome the destruction of the collapsed planet, so thinking rationally from the root is the correct approach.

After obtaining some information about the collapse of other planets, according to the terms of the transaction, this star will come to the Shenzhou branch as an investigator.

To be on the safe side, the Fire Moth only allowed one Star to come, and only in the Shenzhou branch. They did not let down their guard against this mysterious race.

Xingcai did not tell humans the knowledge of fighting Honkai, and humans did not directly show the Herrscher Core to Xingcai. Both sides have not yet completely exposed each other.

"Okay, please take me to visit humanity's anti-Honkai base." Xingcai made a strange sound like multiple voices combined together, but it allowed Kevin and Alicia to hear clearly what it was saying.

Kevin and Alicia would lead Xingcai on the tour, which was also an agreed content. They would not let Xingcai visit the Fire Moth base at will, even the branch.

However, Xingcai was unexpectedly easy to talk to. Perhaps it was because their way of thinking was different from that of humans. For this kind of transaction event that might take humans some time to make a decision, they gave an answer in less than a minute.
