I'm not Yingjie

This time, the high temperature failed to melt it.

……

Lin barely dodged the girl's attack. He used great strength in every step, as if he was using all his strength. His movements looked very funny.

This was a sign that he was unable to effectively control his strength.

After losing his three senses, Lin was unable to control his unfamiliar body very well. He could only rely on his own calculations to mobilize his whole body.

If it were anyone else, they would not be able to do such an incredible thing as controlling their body with the collected information.

The girl seemed a little anxious. Although she was suppressing Lin, his weapons that broke at the touch and his overly strange movements were easily dealt with by her, but...

"Snapped."

The helmeted man took a step back and kicked the girl on the wrist. Even though the girl's soul steel body prevented her from losing strength like humans would when their joints were attacked, the clever direction of the attack made her attack miss.

This precision movement...

Lin is adapting his body quickly.

Perhaps he himself did not realize that after losing three senses, his remaining senses and thinking became sharper. This came from the body's compensation mechanism, allowing him to quickly find a new rhythm.

And, there's one more thing.

"bass!"

The blade scratched Lin's wrist, but he grabbed the hilt with his backhand without even shaking.

No, pain.

Chapter 97 Awakening the Miracle

Everyone in the command room, who were extremely anxious due to Xingcai's attack, suddenly felt the ground beneath their feet shaking. They checked the Honkai energy content of the headquarters in panic. The value that was obviously beyond their normal expectations made them feel desperate.

Could it be that Xingcai has quietly broken through to the headquarters base?

At this time, Mei Zhixing's voice reached everyone's ears through the radio.

"Don't panic. There is a slight leak of Honkai energy after the super-transformation surgery in the headquarters. Please do not approach the area between the warehouse and the R&D department."

Perhaps her calm and rational attitude infected the others, and after the initial commotion, they returned to normal operations and ignored the strange vibrations beneath their feet.

……

"Oh!"

But the situation was actually worse than they had imagined. The indestructible metal walls of the base were riddled with holes and there were laser-cut marks all over the corridor.

This was the damage caused when the two people in the fight exercised restraint. They had no intention of expanding the scope of destruction, but sometimes it was not up to them to decide whether to stop or not.

Ever since he woke up, Lin has been thinking about how to turn the combat disadvantage caused by the side effects of the surgery into an advantage.

He was kicked on his left hand that was blocking in front of him. With a clear cracking sound, his left hand broke in a strange direction, but his other hand grabbed the girl's feet and threw her heavily to the ground.

After he let go of his hand, he heard the sound of skin being torn off. It was his palm that was frozen to the girl's foot, and when he pulled it back, it was torn off directly, and the whole palm was covered in blood.

What he thought was that after losing his sense of touch, he also lost his perception of pain, so he would not be limited by his own endurance as before.

The human body is extremely sensitive to pain, which means that when encountering danger or overexerting the body, the body will subconsciously curb some of its strength to avoid it. This is equivalent to adding a threshold and locking the upper limit of the human body.

Therefore, Lin has now unlocked the original constraints. Even though he is still far from adapting to his physical state, this increase and decrease has given him the capital to be on par with the girl temporarily.

"What an incredible person! He can use the information from every action to determine how to control his body next time. It's just like driving an unfamiliar machine while learning rapidly from the driver's manual." Einstein murmured when he saw that Lin was roughly on the same level as the girl in the picture.

Manipulate the body, what a simple word. Many people feel that they know their bodies very well and can use them as they please. But in fact, how many people can accurately control every part of the body?

Lin could do this before, but he may not be able to do it now. However, as long as he is given enough time to familiarize himself with it and think about new ways of operation, it will not be a problem.

but……

"Oh!"

Before Lin could raise his right hand holding the knife, someone stepped on the handle of the knife, pushed the tip of the knife into the floor, and controlled Lin's right hand in the process.

The gap is still obvious, it's just a temporary equal.

When Lin was still trying to resist, a special shoe appeared on her feet and electric current passed through Lin's body.

All the movements ended powerlessly.

The lack of sense of touch does not mean that Lin’s body will not be affected.

The girl would not give him time to get familiar with her body, not even the slightest chance.

"..."

Lin, lying on the ground, looked at the girl silently.

"I won. Don't you have anything to say?" The girl controlled herself very well. She was able to paralyze Lin's body, but not to the point of making him unconscious. The crystal crown on her head was shining brightly.

"...I don't understand why you would think of marrying me at that time."

What Lin said was an inappropriate doubt.

The girl was stunned for a moment, then smiled brilliantly: "Need I say more? I saw what was written on the marriage proposal, you are a good man."

“…Is that why?”

"Could there be any other reason?"

The girl is a complete human being, made up of two people.

Lin gave her memories and the desire to explore human emotions, and Lin fulfilled that desire.

Lin didn't understand how to get married, nor did he know what to do after marriage. He could only take the girl around stiffly, say a few incoherent words, and deal with the girl's lies stiffly.

As a person lacking in emotions, Lin may be as unfamiliar as she is, but he is guiding her, who is more like a "newcomer", to the right path.

"Anything else you want to say? If not, I'm going in."

"…If I must say, I'm not ready to lose you yet."

Lin's words made the girl stay. Her dark blue bangs quietly covered her eyes. The corners of her mouth turned calm, and she looked lonely in the wind blowing through the gap.

"Every time I lose someone close to me, I'm not prepared. Can you let me be prepared this time?"

Lin said calmly.

"Any time?"

"Well, any time."

In the girl’s memory, Lin’s wife died of illness without any farewell.

Death is not a performance, not the romantic ending in an opera, with no lyrics, no dancing, and no flowers.

Only surrounded by coldness and loneliness.

The girl walked to the door of the warehouse without saying a word. She did not open the door, but it was already unlocked. She stared at the deep road that seemed to be invisible to the camera and said softly, "The Herrscher also has an 'upper limit'."

"My power can allow me to reproduce the things I analyze, but when the Houkai energy and power required to reproduce the things exceed the upper limit of the Herrscher core and body, then my consciousness and body will collapse."

"I admire the man who left me the memory of the previous civilization. The weapons he made for mankind are the highest achievement of civilization. Even I can only reproduce one of his greatest masterpieces."

"And to destroy Xingcai's consciousness collection, at least six high-collapse energy conversion devices are needed."

"I can shatter those stars from outer space using the weapon named after them, 'Meteor Passage'."

"Of course, my consciousness will also collapse at that time. If I'm lucky, the Herrscher core may be preserved."

Lin listened to the girl telling him her plan truthfully, without any ups and downs in her tone, nor any sadness of separation between life and death.

She said he listened only so he could be "mentally prepared."

"'The Herrscher will not have humanity' unless a miracle happens."

"Lin, from now on, please keep going. No matter what setbacks you encounter, please keep hope in your heart."

"Ellie is right. Miracles do exist and they happen for important people. After all... you see..."

"I am the miracle you and 'he' have conjured."

The words of the future reach the ears of the past.

Chapter 98: The Interweaving of Future and Past

"Do you believe that images from the future appear in the minds of people in the past, or that words spoken by your future self are heard by your past self? Do these things happen?"

No matter how many times, Mei always feels that this place is synonymous with darkness, sadness and loneliness.

Lin's cemetery was the first scene created by the memory of the paradise of the afterlife that she had seen. According to Alicia, there was actually no such cemetery. It was just Lin's fantasy of giving a home to those nameless people who disappeared in the war after the collapse.

Of course, Mei prefers to believe that Lin had died before the cemetery was built.

Now Lin has disappeared from the paradise of the past life, Alicia has not come out from the deepest place yet, Aponiya has not appeared since they met once and were given a mark, and even Kevin has been elusive and can't be found anywhere.

Mei has to search for clues in the paradise of the past by herself, and try to find a way to bypass Kosmo and reach the real depths.

Mei planned to carefully investigate several spaces related to Lin. She walked among the tombstones and found the short tombstone without a name engraved on it. It still lay inconspicuously among the many tall tombstones, looking so ordinary and even shabby.

According to Alicia, this is Lin's tombstone.

In fact, there is one thing that Mei just thought of recently. Lin is a person who erects tombstones for others. Based on his personality, he should not prepare a tombstone for himself.

What's more, this is a space composed of memories. How could Lin imagine that his tombstone was in it?

It is worth noting that Alicia never said from beginning to end that the tombstone was erected by Lin himself.

She stood in front of the nameless tombstone and wiped the rain off the smooth surface. She did not feel any bumps or depressions where she touched it, which meant that it was not engraved too shallowly for her to see.

The paradise of the past will change with the memories of the visitors and Ying Jie, so will this place also change because of her arrival?

Mei stood up, bent her knees and jumped lightly into the air. Then she stopped in the rain, suspended at a certain distance from the ground, observing the cemetery.

really……

There is no doubt that this cemetery has changed as well.

Even though Mei couldn't see the end of the cemetery and didn't know how many tombstones there were, she could tell that the density of the tombstones was different from the first time she saw it, which meant that the number of tombstones had increased.

Mei landed on one of the places that looked the most crowded, and with a casual glance, her eyes froze.

She recognized the name and photo above.

After a brief silence, Mei took a deep breath, inhaled the cold air into her lungs, and then slowly exhaled.

In this way, even if her guess was verified, the tombstone was not erected by Lin himself, but was created by someone in the paradise of the past based on the memory of Lin.

As for who it is, it doesn’t matter. What matters is that since there is one, there may be a tombstone of Lin from other people’s memories.

Let’s look for it first.

……

"Forest."

Lin woke up from the damp darkness and fell into a familiar shadow. Abonya's call made his consciousness instantly clear as if a basin of cold water was poured on him.

He turned over and saw the iron bars that locked up Aponiya right in front of him, and Aponiya had been sitting there, waiting for a long time.

"…Did you pull my consciousness over?"

They were able to meet in the deepest place, apparently through Aponia's ability, connecting with his imprisoned consciousness.

“Yes…Lin…your consciousness signal…appeared for a moment…that’s why I brought you here…” Aponiya did not see any nervousness on Lin’s face.

"Be careful that the Herrscher of Consciousness may erode your consciousness. Although she is just a memory device, she is actually using the power of the Herrscher of Consciousness." Lin Ma instructed Aponya without stopping, "Put me back later, otherwise the Herrscher of Consciousness will find you by following the traces."

When Aponia heard the words "Herrser of Consciousness", a few ripples appeared on her calm face: "Herrser of Consciousness... why... is it the Herrser of Consciousness of this era?"

"No, they are... very special. They are not true Herrschers, but they are using the power of Herrschers."

Those black shadows were exactly the same as the Herrschers in Lin’s knowledge, as if those conquered Herrschers had come to the paradise of the afterlife.

No...it should be said that they are indeed the Herrs in Lin’s memory, and they were created based on Lin’s memory.

There are some details about the Herrscher that Lin knows that are different from those recorded by the Fire Moth, and the black shadow is consistent with Lin's memory in these details, that is to say, these pseudo-Herrscher were created entirely from his memory.

But who is using his memory?

"Lin...can't you...see..."

"..."
