I'm not Yingjie

The captain of a combat squad does have much more power than an ordinary soldier, but he is not a rare high-ranking official. The reason why each captain is appointed is because they are capable of commanding their respective squads.

"What about you? Which team are you in?" Lin simply started chatting with Kevin. Anyway, he couldn't dance in this condition, and no one would come to invite him. Moreover, he wouldn't accept it even if he was fine. It would be better to chat with Kevin to understand his situation after entering the Fire Moth.

"Team One, you can just do odd jobs now."

"The first team..."

Lin's team currently has only one member, Hua. Logically, Kevin was rescued by the fifth team, so he should have been assigned to either the fifth team or the seventh team, but he went to the first team which had no casualties.

Lin immediately guessed that Kevin was transferred to the first team by his superiors so that he could always be by Mei's side to protect her, which could be considered a kind of protection.

Lin should have been the most suitable candidate, but in the end Lin was transferred to reorganize the Seventh Team, a more difficult task. From this point of view, someone may have deliberately kept him away from the two of them.

Are there differences in the resolution of the upper echelons or is there a split in the party? There are different approaches to targeting May and protecting May, and the reason for this situation should be what Kevin mentioned before that May is "busy" recently.

Lin narrowed his eyes and Alicia smiled, but neither of them said anything to Kevin.

Almost without exception, human organizations will begin to have different opinions after they develop to a certain stage. This is the fuse for the collapse of most organizations. The cause of destruction is often not external but comes from within.

"Lin, what are you going to do after you recover?"

"Doing a mission." Lin answered casually.

"That's not what I meant, I meant..."

"Do more missions."

Alicia couldn't help laughing. She gently pulled Lin back and said to Kevin, "He is a workaholic. No matter how much you ask, you can only get these things."

Kevin crossed his arms in confusion, looking at the calm Lin: "Even though I know the reason for Lin's change, this change is still too big for me to accept. He used to be the person who was most reluctant to work."

When Lin heard this, he thought to himself that this was bad.

Alicia ran to Kevin with shining eyes, and words popped out of her mouth like a string of cannonballs: "Huh? What? What? What was Lin like before? What are his hobbies? Does he have a girl he likes? And most importantly, what does he look like?"

"Ah? Ah..." Kevin was stunned for a moment, then instinctively wanted to answer.

"Kevin shut up."

Lin stopped the topic immediately. He didn't want Alicia to know too much. This woman's strong curiosity and clever mind that she never used properly made her a gossip-making machine. He bet that if Kevin told anyone about it today, the headline of the Fire Moth intranet that night would be "Shocking! The faceless helmet man actually has this side! Let's take you into the inner world of Lin, the captain of the seventh team!"

"Lin used to not like showing his face, and he often wore a hood at school. His hobbies include arcade games, novels, and music, and his favorite is probably Eden."

Another cold voice interrupted the conversation between the few people.

Mei, who changed into an evening gown, pushed up her glasses, which she never changed, and walked over from behind Kevin. She smiled at Lin, whose face turned completely black, which probably meant "You told Kevin to shut up, but you didn't tell me to shut up."

"Is it Eden? Hehe..."

Ai Lishiya's smile made Lin shudder. She might have already made up her mind on how to deal with Lin.

Lin probably couldn't have guessed that Alicia actually knew Eden.

"Mei, why are you here?"

"I can't handle it over there, and I should check on my friends."

"..."

Lin shook his head and was about to say something when the light above his head suddenly dimmed.

"despair."

A spotlight came on in the middle of the dance floor.

The dance has begun.

Chapter 25: Sometimes the interlude is not pleasant

Lin chewed the food in his mouth slowly and swallowed it. His esophagus was not damaged, but he was warned not to eat too fast. Alicia was supervising him the whole time. Looking at him with those smiling eyes, Lin's appetite was greatly reduced.

It's really amazing. A few months ago he was annoyed by the ubiquitous pink-hair, but now he has calmly said that they are friends and accepts her care. People are indeed creatures of habit.

Ai Lishiya saw the gap when Lin was eating and said to him: "Come to think of it, there are many people who bet that you are a robot. Have you ever considered replacing yourself with mechanical prostheses or something like that?"

Is this what the Fire Moth warriors usually chat about? Alicia is the captain of the team, and she is the culprit for promoting the spread of gossip.

"Honkai energy corrodes metals no slower than the human body. Moreover, the coordination of the human body is unmatched by prosthetic limbs. Even if you replace them with mechanical prosthetic limbs with greater power, they will not necessarily be stronger than the natural body." Lin's detailed answer shows that he has indeed considered this aspect. The shortcomings of humans in Honkai energy are difficult to make up for by external objects.

Inhibitors can only slow down the rate of erosion. Even if the forest is only initially eroded, all they can do is prolong the time before complete erosion and death. Moreover, the effect will become worse and worse with the number of times it is used. In the final analysis, it is nothing more than turning a death sentence into a suspended death sentence.

"I thought I'd see you putting a hundred wheels on your car and speeding through the city." Alicia shook her head regretfully.

"It seems that only the Cybertronians can meet your requirements." Lin replied expressionlessly.

He was in a relatively quiet place, looking from afar at Kevin, who was sweating profusely, dancing the waltz with the unusually calm Mei in close step on the dance floor. His movements were as clumsy as those of a fat duck that had just walked out of a duck cage.

There were many people dancing on the dance floor, including some of Lin's acquaintances. For example, a red-haired woman attracted a lot of attention with her sexy and elegant dance moves, causing Hua, who was dancing with her, to blush.

"That child is... Hua, right?" Alicia had some impression of her. She was the survivor that Lin brought back from Canghai City. She was now a member of Lin's team and a rare recruit with a very stable personality.

The city where Hua's father lived was also affected by the third collapse, and the extent of damage was similar to that of Canghai City. Naturally, her father also became an inconspicuous name on the list of victims.

"You cheered up so quickly. You're really a strong child."

"Hua just accepted the goals given to her by others, and she didn't really walk out of the shadows."

Lin told her that if she had no purpose to live for, then she should live for him. She should be able to find a new direction before he died.

"Hmm? Like another person?"

Alicia looked at Lin meaningfully.

“…I don’t understand you.”

"Lin, sometimes even subconscious actions are the most desired thoughts in your heart, so it doesn't matter if you don't understand."

Alicia ignored the subject and picked up a plate of cake. She carefully scraped off the cream with a fork and passed it to Lin's mouth. Under his stern gaze, she took the fork back awkwardly and ate the cream on top.

"Hmm... calories are a girl's enemy." She swallowed the delicious cream with a bitter face, and then began to eat the exquisite cake.

"Don't you claim that you can maintain a perfect figure no matter how much you eat?" Lin was still deeply impressed by Alicia's shamelessness. When she often came to disturb him at the Second Gym, he once said in a nonchalant tone that he couldn't gain weight no matter how much he ate, and he couldn't gain weight, which was very distressing.

He believed that if another woman heard these words, she might smash the window and throw her out if she had a bad temper.

She straightened her chest and said confidently: "But it's not just the waist that grows on girls."

"..."Lin still underestimated her Versailles ability.

But it has to be said that Alicia's pride in her beauty is not groundless. Even though she was wearing a maid outfit, there were still many people who invited her to dance, but she rejected them all with a smile.

"If a cute girl invites me, I won't refuse~"

She said this with a smile, and I don't know whether it was true or not.

Thanks to Alicia, Lin was able to avoid a lot of trouble. Most of the people who came to see him were chatted with by Alicia. Many people forgot their original purpose and talked with her non-stop with relish.

But some troubles come suddenly and cannot be stopped.

"Are you Lin?"

A tall, brown-haired man ignored Alicia and walked straight to Lin, looking down at him, with an inexplicable disdain mixed in his scrutinizing gaze.

"..." Lin didn't know him, and didn't know where the other party's malice came from. Lin usually had only one attitude towards strangers -

He glanced at the other person coldly with his black pupils.

"He is Sigma from the tactical department, and he is the commander-in-chief of the third Honkai." Alicia whispered in Lin's ear to introduce the big man. After hearing Sigma's identity, Lin looked at him with a much more relaxed look.

Lin nodded to him gently and praised him sincerely: "The third Houkai operation was amazing."

But these words instantly ignited Sigma's anger. To him, these words sounded like sarcasm.

Because the early operations of the third Honkai had no effect, but after Lin arrived at the battlefield to rescue Mei, the battle with the Herrscher was over in half an hour. His role was minimal, even smaller than that of a monitor.

He bent down, pointed at Lin's bandaged face and growled angrily: "Awesome? How can you be as awesome as you? Don't you have Delta's technical support? How come you can't even stand up now without those advanced equipment and need someone to push you? Or are you just like now, just 'sitting in a wheelchair'?"

"..."

The music covered up the tiny noises, and Sigma suppressed his volume so that he didn't notice the commotion in the place at all.

Alicia's expression turned serious. She stared at Sigma, who wanted to pull Lin up. His body was even stronger than Lin. Now the scene looked like a lion roaring at a soft rabbit.

This is real anger.

Lin and Sigma faced each other, and he could truly feel the burning anger in the other's slightly red pupils.

"So many of your companions sacrificed their lives, and in the end you became a hero. You must be feeling smug in your heart, thinking you are so great that you even came to this so-called celebratory dance with a broken leg. Aren't you just trying to let everyone admire your heroic figure?"

"But I'm telling you, you're nothing. If one of you and Delta were willing to share your equipment and technology with other soldiers, the casualties wouldn't be so severe."

"You are the culprit who killed those companions, do you understand?"

Alicia's face had turned completely gloomy. She seldom made such an expression, but now that it appeared, it meant that she was either joking or really angry.

But Lin turned his head and shook his head gently at her to signal her not to speak.

He turned around and was about to speak, but another weak voice blocked his words back into his throat: "Oh? Then why did you go to find Lin? According to what you said, I am the selfish one."

Delta, wearing his unchanging greasy work clothes, yawned and rubbed his dark circles as he walked in front of Lin, blocking their view.

He raised his head slightly and smiled at the stunned Sigma: "You yelled at a wounded person. Are you on your period or in menopause? Or are you pregnant?"

Chapter 26: Invitation to the Dance

"You're yelling at a wounded person. Are you on your period or in menopause? Or are you pregnant?"

Delta's words were very sarcastic, implying that only sissies would go looking for trouble with a wounded person. Combined with Sigma's sturdy image, the lethality was doubled.

"Delta, what are you doing here?" Sigma narrowed his eyes, with a dangerous light flashing deep in his eyes.

"Even you can come, so why can't I?" Delta leisurely picked up the wine glass beside him and took a sip of wine. He burped and sighed, "That's right. After all, I'm a selfish guy who didn't provide technology and killed the soldiers. Of course, I can't compare to the commander-in-chief who commanded the battle on the front line."

Sigma's arrogance was somewhat restrained in response to Delta's blatant sarcasm. Even though they had different positions, they were still equals after all. He snorted coldly, "Humph, what do you mean by that?"

"What I mean is..."

Delta smiled at Sigma, but there was no smile in his eyes. He raised his head and said coldly to the burly man who was a whole head taller than him: "Don't use the dead soldiers as weapons to attack Lin. You are just blaspheming their sacrifice. If you have anything to say, just tell me. I promise you can say it straight away."

There wasn't a trace of emotion in his voice, only a chilling chill.

"Delta, you're fine..." Sigma laughed out of anger. He nodded and clenched his fists, but in the end he said nothing. He glared at Delta and Lin fiercely before turning around and leaving the venue.

It was not until Sigma's back disappeared at the gate that Delta slowly put down his glass and sighed to Lin, who showed no emotion: "Alas, Lin, you are too self-contained. You actually waited for him to finish talking nonsense. If it were me, he wouldn't even have the chance to say the first word."

Lin Anran asked, "Are you planning to stick a knife into his mouth to stop him from talking?"

"Maybe with a gun?" Delta shrugged.

Alicia, who was standing behind him, couldn't help but reach out her hand and pinch Lin's face and pull it aside. She said unhappily, "Lin, even I was a little angry just now."

"……sorry."

"How despicable! You apologize so directly every time. What else can I say?"

"I'm sorry." Lin shook his head.

He didn't intend to let Alicia speak, because what Sigma said was at least half right.

"Don't take what he says to heart. There's nothing worth referring to from a guy who has been commanding with fixed thinking for years and whose wrinkles on his brain have been smoothed out." Delta waved his hand, and his unique mechanic's clothes gave off a smell of motor oil.

"After all, those equipments were made with the ideas you provided, so they are considered customized weapons. Does our R&D department not allow others to customize their own weapons?" Delta curled his lips in disdain. "Besides, the set you use is not even usable by ordinary soldiers. Everything is in the warehouse and anyone can take it. The technical requirements of that helmet are even worse than others. After all, you don't need the information simplification function, so I just removed the simplification function of the ordinary system."

"If we really want to talk about exclusive technology, it's only the weapons I gave you. But are the weapons technology of other soldiers that bad? If I dared to hide the technology, I would have been confiscated by the Fire Moths long ago..."

"That's enough, Delta." Lin stopped the R&D director who worked overtime all year round from complaining.

If he continued talking, there would be no end to it. He was such a chatterbox that he could even analyze the structure and operation of an ordinary cannon and put it all into words. Lin didn't want to hear his mosquito-like muttering in his ears any longer.

"Um, okay." Delta saw that Lin didn't want to hear him continue, so he closed his mouth in boredom, and his eyes moved to Alicia. He curled his lips and said, "Are you used to getting along with each other now?"

I remember that Boss Lin was not happy that Ai Lixia followed him to the R&D department.

"...Some things can't be solved by refusal." Lin was exhausted by this question that almost every acquaintance would ask.

"Haha, that's right. After all, I've never seen anyone who can refuse Alicia."

"..." Lin Zhen couldn't respond to this.

When Alicia thought of the previous topic, she asked with interest: "Dr. Delta, why do you often ask Lin to experiment with new equipment?"

"What's your reason for always being with Lin?" Delta picked up a piece of barbecue, swallowed it in no time, and wiped the corner of his mouth of a liquid that looked like fat or engine oil. "I'm looking for him for a similar reason."

Alicia covered her mouth in surprise and asked, "Are you also interested in Lin's true face?"
