I'm not Yingjie

He narrated slowly: "Treat the sounds you don't want to hear as noise, blur your senses, and you won't be stressed by other people's behavior."

"Is this your experience?" Inspired by Lin's words, Mebius said jokingly.

"Ah."

"I thought you just didn't care about the gossip. You're shameless."

"As long as you are a human being, you will definitely care, but everyone has different ways of dealing with it."

But I'm afraid that no matter who it is, seeing that Lin doesn't change at all even if the sky falls, they will think that he actually doesn't care about those words.

"Okay... but I can't." Mebius stared at Lin's extinguished helmet, "So help me block it."

"it is good."

The music suddenly changed, and the passionate music resounded throughout the venue. The overhead lights went out, and two or three faint star lights lit up.

"Huh? Who is controlling the lights and music backstage?" The expression of the person in charge of the dance party changed. He ran backstage, but saw the bewildered backstage staff who were at a loss as to what to do with the uncontrollable operating console in front of them.

Prometheus stood in the corner of the conference room, staring at the overhead lights, data streams flashing in his eyes.

Lin's dance moves were also moving in a wild and vigorous manner to the music. He pressed close to Mebius's body, holding her back, and moved quickly in the lights.

No one can see who is dancing under the lights.

Mebius raised her head. She didn't need to hide her expression at this moment. She couldn't see Lin clearly, and Lin couldn't see her clearly in the mixed lights.

So she could fully cooperate with Lin and dance in the star-studded dance floor.

Yes, only at this time, she doesn't have to worry, Lin sees her...

Chapter 112: Meeting Soon

A pink-haired girl in casual clothes sat at the edge of the dance floor. In the not-so-bright light, no one noticed that she was sitting on the steps, staring at the two special people on the dance floor with a smile on her lips.

"Aren't you coming over, Ellie?" Eden walked to her side unknowingly, holding a glass of red wine in her hand, but it was not provided by the headquarters, but her own wine.

"If I go over now, Dr. Mebius will get angry~" Alicia stood up, came behind Eden, hugged Eden and put her head on her shoulder, "Let's give them the time now."

"What about you, Ellie?"

"Me? Let me think... Have you heard of 'Persistent Alicia'? If I want to find him, I can do so anytime~" Alicia's smile was intriguing, "And why do I have to bother others?"

"But he is not now..."

"Oh~ My little Eden, you still don't know Lin well enough. He is the type who responds to other people's expectations. If someone is nice to him, he will definitely remember it, but it won't be the same way or with the same feelings."

Alicia tapped her cherry-colored lips and said, "For example... Lin once had an adoptive father who gave Lin two completely different perspectives. Until he passed away, it was impossible to tell whether he was a good person or a bad person."

"Lin will be grateful for everything that person has given him, but he will not agree with that person's actions."

At this moment, Alicia thought of the girl she called Xiaoqi, and her expression dimmed.

The Lawgiver?

But she soon cheered up: "Lin is just that clumsy in responding to people with good intentions. He doesn't know how to express himself normally, so he can only respond in the way he thinks. That's why Lin won't refuse most requests, because that's what he thinks is the best response."

……

"It seems that Dr. Mebius's statement about Lin's illness was a lie." Mei pushed the cup to the cold figure beside her. Even through the cold-resistant clothing, she felt a stinging sensation when the cup touched her. "And the rumors about their bad relationship seem to be false."

Kevin, wrapped up like a dumpling in his cold-resistant clothing, glanced at the dance floor. With his dynamic vision as a fusion warrior, he could easily see the figures of Lin and Mebius.

He did not comment, but glanced at the wine glass next to him, the rim of which had begun to freeze.

"Mei, I can't drink."

Kevin's body temperature is enough to freeze anything he eats into ice, so what he eats now are some small cold foods, and the special liquid with an extremely low freezing point developed by Mei to replenish water.

"This is also a special liquid I made, it just tastes like wine."

Kevin looked at Mei's smiling face, nodded, picked up the glass and drank it all.

It really only tastes like red wine, other things like the mouthfeel don't feel like liquid.

Doing something just for one person that you wouldn't normally do, if it were the Kevin of the past he would definitely say that this is love. Of course he would think so now too, but... he would never say these words out loud anymore.

"Alicia has submitted an application for a super transformation surgery." Mei's casual words made Kevin pause after putting down the cup.

He raised his head expressionlessly, looked over Mei's shoulder, and looked at Alicia at the edge of the dance floor.

She was watching Lin and Mebius on the dance floor with a gentle smile.

Kevin let out a long sigh and shook his head: "So, you agreed."

He didn't even use the question mark. Instead, he said that no matter who wanted to undergo super transformation surgery, Mei would accept them all. Humanity needed a large number of fusion warriors, and Kevin alone was not enough.

Even most people who undergo surgery will encounter Lin’s situation, or even... worse than him.

……

"Why did the lights go off suddenly?" Padu, whose face was greasy from eating, stammered and looked up at the extinguished light above her head in confusion.

"Never mind. They should use the spotlights on the stage. I remember some big star was going to sing..." Qianqi, who was also eating non-stop, waved his hands with dead eyes, "It's really fancy."

"Oh... by the way, why did you join the Fire Moth? We are not small... um, we are here to look for someone!" Padu originally wanted to say that she sneaked in accidentally, but when she thought that she would probably be arrested on the spot if she said that, she quickly changed her statement.

"Tsk, I didn't want to join the Fire Moths. I was captured and used as a laborer." Qianqi licked the seasoning on his hand and sneered, "Those two guys captured me without any explanation, although I also had my own considerations..."

"Those two guys?"

"A helmeted weirdo and a cold-faced killer, two abnormal guys."

"Oh... that's probably not the person I'm looking for."

In Pado's impression, although Lin had his face covered with bandages, he had never worn a helmet. And to be able to capture Qianqi, he must at least have healthy hands and feet and be conscious, right?

"Well...you're pretty weird too." Qianqi stared at Paduo who was starting to sweat.

"W-What's so weird? I'm normal!"

"Your expression and movements are different from the others. How should I put it... there is a smell that doesn't belong to the Fire Moth."

"We are the new members who just joined." Padu's heart was stirred with a thousand waves. She forced a smile, "Then it must be different."

"No, even the helmeted man and the assassin woman are considered outliers among the Fire Moths. They also give me the feeling that they are members of the Fire Moths, but you... have an indescribable feeling."

How could this guy be so clever? Could he not observe so carefully?

When Paduo was thinking about how to deal with it, a man just walked up to them, hesitated for a moment, and asked: "Excuse me, do you know where Kevin is?"

"Huh?" Qianqi turned his head away in confusion, while Paduo let out a long sigh, with a huge stone falling from his heart.

"Excuse me, I'm new at headquarters and I'm trying to find my friend. His girlfriend messaged me saying he's at the dance but I can't find them."

"Another newcomer?"

Qianqi muttered to himself, there really are always people joining during this period of time.

"Kevin... let me think, oh, that successful fusion warrior, I remember he didn't attend the dance."

"Not participating? Uh... okay, thank you."

The man left a thank you and walked away. Qianqi shrugged and was about to turn back to chat with Paduo, but found that Paduo had disappeared, and the two chicken legs disappeared with him...

Chapter 113: Only a Little Special to Me

After the song, the crystal chandeliers in the hall lit up brilliantly, and the dazzling light returned to this noisy place. When people looked again, nothing seemed to have changed. They looked at each other blankly, not understanding what the "improvisational show" just now meant.

It can't be... asking them to kiss their dance partners in the dark, right?

Compared to the commotion in the entire venue, the disappearance of two people obviously would not attract any attention.

……

"..."

"..."

They walked in silence all the way. Lin Jing walked quietly in front as if he had no weight. Mebius followed behind him, staring at his heels. The two of them tacitly did not speak along the way.

He seemed to be able to control the strength of his steps. It was unclear whether the dancing just now had really worked or it was the result of Lin's adaptation over the past few days.

She wanted to ask, but seemed to care too much about him, so she didn't say anything.

Mebius suddenly felt that her current state was just like the high school girl in love that she had overheard Danzhu and Cangxuan talk about. A lot of words were stuck in her throat as if they were burned hoarse by the temperature of her face, and she could only follow others in silence.

But Mebius was not a high school girl, and she had never experienced the so-called campus romance, not to mention that she didn't even have a clear idea of ​​what campus life was like.

If she had to say anything, she only heard Mei admit that she had a boyfriend, Kevin, when she went to Qianyu Academy to find Mei.

By the way, isn’t Lin Mei and the others’ classmate?

"What were you, Mei, and Kevin like in high school?" If three people were asking at the same time, it probably wouldn't seem like too much of a concern, right?

Lin Dunbu shook his head and said, "It's about the same as now."

"Almost? I think you two are just like breaking off relations now. Forget about your deep friendship. Sometimes May seems to be eager to drag you down. Her little follower Kevin is on the same side with her." Mebius thought of the content of May's argument with him that morning, and smiled coldly, adding without any warmth, "Are you the only one who thinks you are still as close to them as you were in high school?"

"…Do you think you've changed since we first met?"

"I……"

Mebius almost choked to death. She looked at Lin's back in doubt, wondering if he had seen something and asked this question, but she was just wasting her time because Lin's helmet blocked any observation of his expression.

So she put her hands in her pockets and shook her head coldly: "Nothing has changed. I am who I am."

"..." This made Lin turn his head and look at her strangely, but Lin didn't say anything like her. He just continued the previous topic and said, "It's impossible for people to remain unchanged. Even if my future self looks at my present self, I will think that there is a difference between now and the future."

"So the three of us are different now than we were back then. This is an objective fact. No matter how much we want to ignore it, in the process of fighting the Honkai we will gradually become lost, cold-blooded, and paranoid."

"And what humanity needs is the current Mei. I understand her, Kevin understands her, and Kevin and Mei understand me, too. That's why I agree to many things that seem unfair to me."

"We understand each other now, and we understood each other in high school, so... it's pretty much the same now as it was before."

Mebius turned his head away. "I see... I thought you were an idiot who was being used without realizing it... Well, that makes things easier for me."

"So you don't have to argue about me and Mei."

"..."

Mebius's right eyelid twitched twice. She took a sip of saliva and stared at Lin's back: "Wait, how do you know... No, I have never had an argument with Mei, and it is even more impossible for me to do it for you..."

Lin turned around and shook the communicator in his hand, which clearly showed the text communication between him and Mei.

Mei emphasized that Mebius said that Lin was not in good condition and asked if it was true. Lin did not answer directly, but only replied ambiguously that he hoped to rest for a while recently.

That woman—

Mebius almost gritted his teeth and said that she was talking nonsense.

She said why she always felt that there was something meaningful in Lin's gaze since just now, so that's how it is.

"I just simply think that you need some time to adjust. Even if it's an experiment, you need a strong individual instead of a sick, half-dead guinea pig, right? Besides, don't we still have Kevin, the successful product? Why should we let you go first... Why should we leave the successful product alone and study the failed product first?"

After staring at her for a long time, Lin nodded gently: "... Yeah, okay."

"Don't give me a hard time!"

Mebius was irritated by Lin's indifferent attitude. In fact, she had discovered that she was easily provoked by Lin only when she was with him. It was obvious that what he said to her was no different from what he said to others, and she knew that he was just that kind of person, but she still couldn't help getting angry.

It was like a switch was stepped on and I couldn't control my emotions at all.

Yes...there is no difference. The problem lies in this: there is no difference!

She admitted that she was a bit mean and didn't like to agree with others. Lin's handling of the matter was fine. He could see that she was just unhappy, so there was no need to continue asking questions. But she was unhappy! Unhappy with Lin, who always acted "correctly" and "sincerely"!

It was as if he and she were at two extremes, doing completely different things, but outsiders' views of them were so similar. Even though in her opinion Lin did nothing wrong and no one could do better or more correctly than him in his position, he still faced the ridicule of his own people.

Not doing something that is morally condemned like she did, but truly doing the right thing.

What made her most angry was that even so, Lin didn't have any objections.

Yes, he had no opinion.

Even if she had said the same thing to someone who really wanted to mock Lin, she bet that Lin would still say "Yeah, okay".

This is so... infuriating!

"Can't you just keep asking me why you think you need to adjust? Can't you keep asking me why I didn't tell you about this? Are you just going to give me a perfunctory answer like 'OK', 'Right', 'I understand'? Just like you give everyone else a perfunctory answer?"

"...I don't understand what you want to say." Lin and Mebius were face to face. The moment his puzzled words floated into Mebius' ears, her expression changed from resentment to tranquility.

She spoke out word by word, without any concealment -
