I'm not Yingjie

"Ok."

The water drops sliding down the edge of the cup reflected the calm helmeted man in the light. His upright sitting posture looked out of place here.

"..."

"..."

Although they wanted to talk about something, Sakura herself didn't know where to start. She just kept Lin on impulse.

The reason why she put on headphones and immersed herself in her personal space was because she lacked a sense of belonging to the Fire Moths and could not integrate into these people at all.

But when she was next to Lin, she felt inexplicably at ease. Even without the need for any words, they had an unspeakable tacit understanding.

However, Ying understood that Lin still hated her.

She understands better than anyone.

"Please enjoy."

The wine was pushed in front of Lin, seemingly taking male taste into consideration, so it looked richer in color, probably because of the difference in proportions.

Lin took the wine glass and placed it next to him.

After the ice melted, Lin would finish the drink and leave. It seemed that this was the only time she had left to stay with him.

Even Lin has many friends among the Fire Moths. He has a stronger sense of belonging than herself. It is impossible for him to stop today's itinerary just for her.

If you have anything to say, it's best to say it now.

"What songs do you like to listen to?" What she didn't expect was that Lin spoke before her and turned to look at the headphones hanging around her neck.

Sakura hesitated, looked around to make sure no one was paying attention to them, and said a word in a low voice.

"..."

Although she couldn't see Lin's expression, Ying felt that he seemed surprised.

“…It’s an interesting hobby.”

"Ahem... Ling actually said that too."

Perhaps this simple conversation made Ying less reserved, and she asked in return: "Do you have any songs you like to listen to?"

"Have."

"what type is it?"

"Eden's Song."

"..."

The "Eden" type?

Ying finally knew why Lin appeared here. She felt a little complicated, but this complexity would only make her feel uncomfortable and would not have any effect.

So she calmed herself down and prepared to leave.

"Want to take a walk around the artificial lake?"

At this moment, Lin said something that stunned Ying.

……

Maybe it was because of the alcohol, or maybe some other inexplicable reason, but Ying felt that under the moonlight of the transparent dome, her chest was a little stuffy and her face seemed to be burning.

Why did Lin choose this place?

Apart from the dance hall, the artificial lake has the most people tonight.

Or rather...there are most people in pairs.

After all, it was a night for relaxation, and the atmosphere was very lively. The sweet voices reached Ying's overly sensitive ears, making her lower her head even more heavily, almost walking with a bent back.

However, when a cold and stern man in a helmet who looked like hailstones falling on him when he passed by came here, all the ambiguous and gentle atmosphere was cut in half.

His mere presence in the sight of those couples was enough to give them a chill.

Ying didn't know whether to laugh or cry as she watched those people leave quickly as if they had seen a ghost.

"Why did you come here?" Ying swallowed her saliva. She felt that her words seemed to have some implications, but then she thought about it, Lin's invitation also had some implications. No, her agreement also had some implications...

Once you start, you can't stop thinking about it.

As the artificial wind blew gently, Sakura heard the collision of stones and the sound of lake water hitting the shore.

"You don't look like you fit in there."

"Forehead……"

Lin actually noticed her abnormality so quickly, which was a little unexpected for Ying, who had not had much conversation with her before.

"You fought me here when you first came to the headquarters, so I think you should be relatively familiar with this place." Lin's cold words made Ying a little unsure of how to start again.

She couldn't help but blame herself for not knowing how to speak. Lin was trying his best to take care of her, but she still...

"I... don't hate you."

Lin's sudden words caused Sakura's brain to freeze for a few seconds.

She first stared at the surface of the lake expressionlessly, then turned to Lin's head, and then the muscles on her face twitched.

She didn't know what expression to put on.

Why was it so easy for Lin to tell what she was thinking?

"I may be a little slow to understand other people's thoughts, but there is a tacit understanding between you and me, and I can guess what you are thinking." Lin explained quickly, "If what I said is right, you don't have to feel that you owe me anything, and I don't hate you either."

"B, but..." The calm Sakura was gesticulating and stuttering at this moment. Her face was quickly filled with red and she even felt her face was burning.

No, that's not right... Lin just said that he didn't hate her, why... why is she...

Her mind was in a mess and she didn't know what she was thinking.

"And some of your ideas about me, such as sexual reproduction..."

"Wait a minute! Stop, stop talking, Lin, wait a minute..."

Ying covered her head and shook it hard, wishing she could shake her brain out of her skull.

After calming down with heavy breathing, Sakura was finally able to organize her words and speak: "How did you know? Am I... am I that obvious?"

"You called me just now, and I thought your behavior was a little strange, so I reanalyzed all your previous actions and words and came to a conclusion. Because I had some previous experience to refer to, so I..."

"..."

Sakura suddenly turned her head and looked at him intently.

"So, what do you think? To me, a despicable and dirty killer who has hurt you and failed your expectations?"

"You're just Sakura to me."

Lin nodded and spoke calmly.

"You're just Sakura."

Chapter 119 It's all misunderstanding

"I always feel like you're very busy today..." Alicia followed Lin closely, her eyes wandering around him, "You're really popular after meeting this and that."

"If I were popular, I wouldn't need to look for her myself." Lin's interactive reactions were limited to when he was talking to Alicia. Perhaps it was because he had been chased around by Alicia since he joined the Fire Moth.

"Gu...I should have waited for you to come find me?"

“…That’s not what I meant.”

In fact, Lin didn't have much desire to stay here any longer. What happened today was not a lot, but not a little either. The important thing was that his mind had changed.

Now he had to find out two things.

The first was a problem with his consciousness. Although no abnormalities had been found through long-term observation before, some aspect of his consciousness had deteriorated after the super-transformation surgery.

Being able to observe parallel worlds... whether it is true or false, it is an extremely dangerous thing. If his consciousness runs to somewhere at any time, his original body will be out of control. If this happens in a battle, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Moreover, when he was unconscious, was he really just... "observing"?

The blood and pain dripping from his forehead still linger in his mind.

Second... this is a "suspicion" that belongs to him alone.

That is, there is a doubt about this star invasion and the seventh collapse that cannot be explained.

Since a high-threat alien civilization like Xingcai can invade the Earth while the Honkai Impact 3rd occurs, it means that the Honkai Impact 3rd will not be suspended just because the civilization is threatened by other external threats.

After the Herrscher of the previous civilization returned to this world, the Seventh Herrscher was still born, which proves that multiple Herrschers can exist.

Then, considering the lurking of the Fourth Herrsler, the high degree of personification of the Sixth Herrsler, the plural existence of the Seventh Herrsler, etc.... can we speculate that there may be Herrslers who have already been born among humans?

This inference is unlikely and has multiple loopholes, but it is not completely impossible.

According to this inference, if there really are Herrschers lurking among humans, then there are two possibilities: one, the Herrschers are planning something to annihilate humans, two...

The girl’s smile when she left is still vivid in my mind.

"..."

These two things are crucial, and if possible, Lin doesn't intend to waste any more time at the dance.

but……

"What's wrong? Are you still thinking about what happened backstage?" Alicia covered her mouth and grinned, while Lin remained silent.

"Forget it... I'm already very satisfied today, so I won't disturb you guys from reminiscing about the past."

Alicia waved her hand and retreated like a full little crab.

Lin stood in the crowd, staring at Kevin quietly at the distance that was only two steps away but seemed like a chasm.

It was just like they hadn’t left Tianyu Academy a few years ago.

"...Do you need me to introduce you?" Kevin said to Lin.

The person he was referring to was naturally Su who was standing nearby.

"No need." Lin had known Su for a long time, but he might not know that the Fire Moth soldier who stopped him from going to the blockaded area was Lin.

At this moment, Su was hesitant, not knowing whether he should greet Lin and introduce himself, but the current atmosphere did not seem to allow him to interrupt their conversation, especially since Mei was just sitting aside and watching.

"Who are you going to see later?"

"Hua, Yimer, Weiwei..."

Is it a lot? Actually, not a lot. Prometheus was watching him silently beside him. He had basically seen almost everyone that Prometheus could see.

But this was a bit of a surprise to Kevin.

However, it was just an "accident".

"Remember we talked about going to Eden's concert?" I don't know who said it, maybe Lin, maybe Kevin.

Their unified attitude towards this sentence was silence.

Kevin seemed to finally be unable to hold back his sigh: "There are no tickets this time."

Lin glanced at the hesitant Su and nodded slightly.

……

"Hahaha... Lin, you know what? I saw you swimming around the venue, busy as a whirlwind." Wei Liwei didn't change much, she chose a position that was in line with her interest in magic, and then performed magic for others for free, and she had just finished the performance when Lin and Prometheus walked over together.

"Snapped."

She turned over her top hat, but instead of a rabbit or a dove jumping out, a dozen balloons floated out and exploded in the air, with a dove coming out of each balloon.

"..." This bizarre magic trick was indeed unexpected. The fact that only some balloons were set up before the pigeon flew out was enough to break the cliché of the original magic performance.

However, even though we already know that magic is a combination of techniques and props, people still wonder how the ordinary top hat on her head can hold so many balloons and how the pigeons are stuffed into the balloons.

“Merciàtous. (Thank you everyone)”

She raised her finger to her lips and smiled at the people who were watching with great interest, said something in French, then put her hat back on her head and walked towards Lin.

Wei Wei was still playing with a deck of cards, glancing at Lin with interest: "I thought you would just forget about your old friend, but it turns out I'm the last one."

“…I didn’t plan to rank them in order.”

"I know, I know. You've found whoever you see anyway." Thanks to her amazing brain circuit, Wei Erwei didn't care about these things at all. "You've changed girls one after another, and this time it's finally my turn?"
