I'm not Yingjie

It's like preparing...

"Buried relics..." the girl said softly.

No matter it is a gift from others or something one looks for, something that represents someone, big or small, light or heavy, has left a deep mark in Lin's heart.

But the girl felt a little awkward because Lin had not prepared anything to represent himself. When he was thinking about the burial of others, he did not consider himself.

But she soon felt relieved.

Lin shouldn't need it. Even if he becomes nameless after his death, he won't have any objection to it.

That was the kind of man he was, she knew it well.

So the girl smiled, put something in it, closed the drawer, and left.

Chapter 95: The Confrontation

Mebius slept soundly, probably the most comfortable sleep he had in recent years.

Lin's body should be angular and strong, but it is unexpectedly soft. When you touch it, it feels as gentle as a pillow.

She didn't feel that she owed anyone anything, and Lin wouldn't think that she and Mei had done anything wrong. It was just that now, whether it was Xingcai or the Seventh Herrscher, someone had already dealt with them, so he didn't need to do anything. He just had to forget about everything else and have a good sleep.

Just like the bird that can fly the farthest also needs to rest, just think of it as her being selfish. Let Kevin and that person do it this time. Anyway, she has always been considered a selfish person.

Then just be a selfish person. After all, I am different from Lin who persisted despite being misunderstood...

no the same……

Mebius woke up with a start, she suddenly opened her eyes, her light blue pupils reflected the empty side of her body.

"Forest?"

Mebius seldom called Lin by his name, usually addressing him as "he", "you", "hey" and the like, but this time, she subconsciously called out the name, looking for any trace of that person around.

But there was complete silence.

A selfish person will not win the attention of a selfless person, that's all.

……

The girl's cheerful steps stopped before the finish line, and her long dark blue hair fell vertically behind her from the air.

Someone blocked the way.

"Are you okay now? Your body." The girl shook her head slightly and asked the man who was silently fastening the buckle on his helmet.

"Click."

Lin made sure that he had put on the helmet only after he heard the sound of the helmet buckle being locked.

He now had no idea whether the movements outside his field of vision were operating as he expected. None of the clothes on his body, the shoes on his feet, or the helmet on his head gave him a sense of reality.

He doesn't even feel like he's in a "body".

For many people, after losing their sense of touch, they may not even be able to stand up. Without the feeling of touching the ground, they don’t know how much strength it takes to walk upright, and every step feels like stepping on air.

There is a more apt metaphor: his body is "blind".

This is extremely dangerous both in combat and in life. You don't know if you are injured and have no way to judge the severity of your injury. Your previous habits have also been formatted as your sense of touch disappears. You can only imitate your previous movements by intuition.

The system in the helmet can make up for some of the judgment of his physical condition, but no matter what, Lin can't return to his previous state for the time being.

Lin lowered his hands. When he was not exerting any force, his hands hung at his sides, which helped him understand his body and decide his next move.

Lin stared at the screen, which was in black and white with no other colors, and moved his lips: "Why are you here?"

"I'm here to get my things back," the girl replied without hesitation.

Was the atmosphere frozen? No, the girl was still smiling. She looked completely different from the doll-like girl who looked even less human than Prometheus a few months ago. Her lively smile made her even more eye-catching.

"...I have already investigated clearly that you are not a member of the Fire Moth. Now, I am going to expel you."

"Well, I'm not a member of the Fire Moth. I'm a Herrscher."

She said with a cheerful smile.

"I want to take back my Herrscher core and destroy humanity. Can you get out of here now, you cripple?"

Unlike her humble requests to Kevin and Kosmo, the girl spoke rudely to Lin without any politeness.

……

"Aren't you going to stop him?"

Einstein looked at the two people confronting each other in the picture, and asked Mei who was organizing the information about the super transformation surgery.

"According to your plan, she should be the one to destroy Xingcai's ship."

Mei stopped and stared at the scene on the screen: "It doesn't matter, Lin is no match for her now."

A person who has consumed a great deal of his energy in a transmutation operation and lost senses vital to combat will not be a match for a Herrscher, even if that Herrscher does not even have full power.

"Do you really trust her that much? This is not in line with your style, Dr. Mei. If it were any other time, you would have let Kevin capture her for research instead of letting her fake her own death and take Kevin's transport plane back to headquarters, and believing that she would help humanity after getting the Herrscher Core back."

"...Dr. Einstein, I think you have some misunderstandings about me. I am a person who prides myself on being rational."

Mei took her fogged glasses off her nose and wiped them. After so many years, and even though Fire Moth had countless ways to cure myopia, she still wore this pair of glasses.

She didn't think there was anything special about the glasses, she just wanted to remind herself that she was still an ordinary human being.

"Rationality is not cold-blooded, selfish, and profit-seeking. In other words, rational judgment requires cold-blooded, selfish, and profit-seeking. I will do that." Mei's glasses reflected a strange light in the light of the screen. "The evidence was in front of me, and my inference was consistent with the evidence, so I made my own judgment. This is rationality."

"It's almost impossible for a Herrscher like her to appear. It's almost impossible for her to regain her humanity after such a long time. It's almost impossible for a Herrscher to decide to help humans. But it's only 'almost'. There is such a possibility, and the evidence proves that she is the verifier of the probability that approaches zero infinitely after the decimal point."

"So she is a Herrscher who has regained her humanity and intends to help humanity. I think there is nothing wrong with letting her deal with enemies that humans cannot face yet."

May's words left Einstein speechless.

Lin never showed his face, while Mei often smiled politely, but Einstein felt that the latter was more indifferent than the former.

It was as if Mei was actually in another place, talking to her through a communication device that looked like a human, and the "things" that were inadvertently leaked between the lines made people feel cold.

Einstein watched the entire operation of Lin and Kevin. Even with her psychological endurance, she couldn't help vomiting several times during the operation.

That was not an evolutionary surgery with theoretical support at all, but a horrific experiment of roughly stuffing monsters into human bodies and waiting for changes to occur in a gambling manner.

Life and death no longer have any meaning to those who have undergone super-transformation surgery.

This woman could push her friends and partners onto the operating table without batting an eyelid. After seeing that Lin's operation had failed, she immediately performed the next operation without even blinking.

Now, she asked the Herrscher to eliminate the enemies of humanity.

To say that she is crazy is probably not enough to describe Mei.

Chapter 96 Adaptation

The weapon that appeared in the girl's hand was no longer as "gentle" as the one she used when fighting with Kevin and the others.

The mere fact that she stood there holding a strange-shaped light blade in each hand was telling Lin that if he didn't move out of the way, she would not be polite next time.

So, what is Lin’s answer?

"bass."

Lin swung out the folding blade in his hand, forming a one-handed long sword.

"You'd better save your breath. How about you get out of the way? I won't do anything to you after I take the core." The girl pouted and muttered, "Anyway, it won't make any difference if I keep you until the last one to kill."

"..."

Lin said nothing.

He understood that from now on, the girl would not tell him any truth, and his words would not shake the girl's determination.

From the first day they met, they knew they were so similar and full of tacit understanding.

Once upon a time, Lin told Kevin that he could not be someone like Kevin who only fought for the people around him. He could not ignore the whole of humanity and choose individuals.

No matter how special those individuals were and how important they were to him, Lin couldn't do it.

That is why he sees humanity's victory time and time again, and sees the departure and changes of people around him time and time again.

No matter how much you pretend to have changed, you cannot change your true core.

However, Himiko's transformation into a Herrscher meant that Lin could no longer avoid the wailing from the depths of his heart in any way.

Choose humanity, or choose the people around you.

Lin has another option.

"I will use the core of the Herrscher of Reason. My consciousness has entered the core of the Herrscher before, and the form of my consciousness has changed. I can use the power of the Herrscher. Before I am transformed into the Herrscher's consciousness, I will use the technological information of the previous civilization in the core to reproduce the weapons and destroy Xingcai's ships."

"Then I will immediately commit suicide to prevent myself from becoming a true Herrscher."

Lin said in a calm voice, and his words made the girl's fingers tremble.

"What are you talking about? Only I can use the Herrscher Core."

"I didn't say that to you."

That’s right, Lin didn’t say those words to the girl.

He was speaking to Mei who was standing behind the screen.

The girl also realized what Lin meant by this, and she stopped smiling.

The Fire Moth uniform on her body gradually disappeared, and the gorgeous dress-like long skirt and crown-like decorations that she wore when she first met Lin appeared on her body.

The sense of familiarity that Lin felt when he first met the girl actually came from the appearance of the Herrscher of Reason that he saw when he fought against the Herrscher of Reason of the previous civilization in the simulated accident.

Now that he thought about it, the girl and the Ruler of Reason from the previous civilization had certain similarities in appearance and clothing, which was why he had a sense of déjà vu.

As the girl removed her final disguise, the Honkai energy in her body gradually began to emerge.

There was no way Lin could defeat her.

The girl's body is actually made of soul steel that combines compatibility, plasticity and hardness. The weapon in Lin's hand cannot hurt her. Even in the Shenzhou branch, Kevin couldn't hurt her. It was a false illusion of death that she faked herself.

Not to mention the factors of pre-civilization technology and Lin’s physical condition.

But Lin has already experienced enough of the gap between humans and Herrschers.

It's the same every time, and now...it's no different.

Two figures rushed from different directions and then collided with a loud bang!

……

Kevin didn't sit in his seat, but walked around in a small area of ​​the cabin.

Once he sat down, the cold temperature in his body would spread uncontrollably. He could only try to control the leaking cold air by walking to increase his concentration.

This is not some kind of "ability".

Unlike the power of the Herrscher that comes entirely from the Herrscher core, the ice and snow control that Kevin obtained from Pavanti is an ability, but it is "damage" that causes his body temperature and the surrounding temperature to drop to minus 30 degrees Celsius.

After he woke up, the rest of the caregivers told him about his physical problems, and Kevin asked about Lin's condition after learning that his body had been irreversibly damaged.

Kevin followed right after Lin's surgery, and started the super transformation surgery without even giving Lin a chance to take a look.

After learning about Lin's condition from them, Kevin was silent for a long time, and finally set out for Australia without saying a word.

He was going to kill Lin's former captain, just like he killed Lin's wife.

That person has given too much. What he has paid for "humanity" far exceeds everything he has personally given.

Therefore, it would be too cruel for him to continue to kill those people who once meant so much to him with his own hands.

Kevin stopped by the window, and in the blink of an eye a layer of hazy ice mist covered the glass. He reached out to wipe it, but it only caused a thicker layer of ice to form.

His hand stopped in mid-air and then dropped weakly.

However, the ice fog soon melted away.

A voice came from the intercom: "Kevin, you have reached the 50-kilometer range of the Seventh Herrscher."

"what."

Kevin coldly placed his hand over the glass that was wet with melted water stains.

"I know."

When he withdrew his hand, the original water turned into ice again.
