I'm not Yingjie

"And he's surprisingly good at housekeeping. When he looks at me with those eyes, I feel almost like I'm being glared at by my mother."

Danzhu and Cangxuan were whispering to each other about Lin, who left after cleaning. They often browsed the intranet, so they knew the most about the rumors about Lin.

Lin has never taken the initiative to help clean the laboratory before.

"I feel that his temperament is a little different compared to last time." Cang Xuan touched his polished workbench.

"What's the difference? Isn't it still cold?"

"Like there's a little more...human touch?"

Mobius looked at the gleaming laboratory. She racked her brains to understand why Lin would give the laboratory a thorough cleaning. Judging from his cold and efficient work principles, he should have practiced them more after he was able to move.

Who changed him? Could it be Mei's little follower? According to the information, they were good friends before.

But I always feel that it’s not that love-brained boy who is always complaining about Mei Mei. Who is it…

"Hi, Alicia is here to eat."

"..."

Mebius looked coldly at the pink-haired girl who walked in from the door. The smile on her face all the time gave her the answer in her heart.

She looked at the approaching Alicia with a fake smile and asked, "Is it you?"

"Huh? What's that?" Alicia pretended not to understand and put her hand next to her ear as if listening.

"I never thought that even that guy who doesn't have ordinary people's emotions would fall for you. Should I consider learning your way of speaking, Alicia?"

"Hey, Dr. Mobius, how can you say that about Lin? He's just not good at expressing himself. I just know him a little better than others. If you want to know more about him, you can read "One Hundred Questions about the Silent Helmet"~"

The two of them were at loggerheads, exchanging verbal attacks back and forth, and even when standing opposite each other they had to hold their heads high, chests puffed out, and stand on tiptoe to prevent themselves from looking up at each other.

"Humph, I guess you said something that catered to his ideas to win his favor. After all, it's your usual technique. Males are males after all, and it's understandable that they would be attracted to the opposite sex who is good-looking and pleases them."

"I don't think Lin thinks that way. He probably thinks we are like-minded friends, just like him, Kevin and Mei." Alicia couldn't help but smile beautifully, "But it's not easy for Lin to treat me as a friend."

Mebius licked his lips and narrowed his eyes: "Oh? Then I'm curious, what is your purpose in building a good relationship with him?"

“Does making friends require a purpose?”

"..."

Alicia answered Mobius's questions flawlessly, and even Mobius couldn't tell whether what she said was true or not, as if she really just wanted to be friends with Lin.

But this isn't the first time this has happened...

In the end, Mebius did not continue asking, perhaps because he thought it was meaningless, or perhaps for deeper reasons.

Mebius turned around, not looking at the pink-haired girl's smile, and asked indifferently, "What are you doing here?"

"Um... didn't I tell you? You're just here to eat for free." Alicia said righteously.

"Have a meal?"

"Kevin said Lin's cooking skills are at the level of a master chef. When I ran into Lin on the road, he told me to cook and bring it to the lab, so I came over to eat."

"..."

Mebius felt very tired.

Chapter 33 Doubts

"What exactly did you do before joining the Fire Moth?"

These were the first words Mebius uttered after finishing a meal Lin had hastily prepared.

"Student." Lin, who was collecting the plates, replied calmly and walked away with the empty plates.

Mebius wiped the oil stains from the corners of his mouth and looked around, and found that except for her, the other three were holding their stomachs with satisfied looks on their faces.

And why she didn't do that...you have to ask how fast these three animals eat.

"Haha, Kevin really wasn't lying." Alicia stretched her graceful figure in a lazy posture, staring at the thoughtful Mebius with interest, "When I think about Lin cooking for you every day, I feel a little jealous."

"..."

Mebius frowned, glanced at the empty door, then turned and walked towards his office.

"Aliceia, come here."

……

Kevin adjusted his uniform and hairstyle and knocked on the door of the private office. After hearing the response "Come in", he pushed the door open and walked in.

"Mei, what do you want from me...Wow, what are these!"

Papers filled with complicated formulas were piled up next to the desk, and used pen refills were thrown in the corner like a small mountain. The girl with glasses kept writing down the formation process of an idea, and she didn't stop until Kevin walked in and typed a symbol.

Kevin stared at the papers all over the room in amazement. He could understand the words on them, but when they were put together, he could only recognize some basic formulas. The knowledge involved in them was far beyond the common sense of the outside world. Some of them were even formulas created by Mei.

Mei put the cap on the pen and took a sip of the cold coffee beside her. Her reflective glasses showed the huge projects. "This is the concept of artificial intelligence. The Titans that the Fire Chaser is currently developing are divided into two directions. One is the autonomous Titan driven by top soldiers like Lin, and the other is the self-disciplined Titan controlled by AI."

"The R&D department at the headquarters is working on solving the equipment problems, and I am responsible for the R&D of cross-era artificial intelligence. After all, this is a job that does not involve Honkai energy and is within my current knowledge level."

No, it sounds like creating a revolutionary artificial intelligence is an easy task in your mouth...

Kevin picked up a fallen paper and put it on the table, and asked curiously: "Mei, why don't you work on the computer? Writing by hand...it will be slower and harder to organize."

"Every computer here is connected to the intranet and cannot be blocked. My application for a computer that is not connected to the intranet was not approved." Mei put down the teacup and the ballpoint pen flew on the fingertips of her right hand. "Once used, it will leave traces, and even if the traces on the Internet are erased, there are ways to restore them. If someone hacks into it, there will be a risk of leakage."

"Invasion? Who can invade the Fire Moth?"

Given the geographical location of the Fire Moth, its military-grade confidentiality system, and its purpose of fighting the Honkai, would it still be possible for hackers to invade here?

Mei gave a meaningful smile. "It's hard to say. And the invaders are not necessarily human. The electromagnetic field manipulated by the Third Herrscher can do more than you might imagine. But she seems to be limited by her own knowledge or other factors, which resulted in only some lightning and simple magnetic manipulation. In fact, if she wants, she can even hack into human electronic facilities to cause communication paralysis and overload explosions instead of just interference."

Kevin shuddered when he heard Mei say that.

Even if it was only used for pure destruction, the Third Herrscher would have razed the entire Changkong City to the ground. What if Mei became a Herrscher and used her knowledge to assist her power... No, what was I thinking? How could Mei become a Herrscher?

"Besides, I wrote it down on paper just to have a clear context. I have memorized all the necessary details. I will destroy these records later."

Mei stood up, walked to the door, and after sticking her head out to see that there was no one there, she locked the door.

"There is an anti-eavesdropping and anti-spying device I made in this room. Kevin, don't tell anyone what's next."

"it is good."

Kevin's unconditional trust made Mei feel relieved. She looked more relaxed and walked to the water dispenser, poured two glasses of water and handed one to Kevin.

She leaned against the corner of the table, her fingers slid across the edge of the cup, and after flicking off a drop of water, she began to speak: "I want to tell you something and ask you some questions..."

She stared at the surprised Kevin with a bland expression.

"It's about Lin."

……

"An ordinary high school student who has never shown outstanding academic performance or extraordinary talent since childhood. He skips classes to play games, listen to concerts, and read novels during school. He even likes to wipe his butt with two sheets on top of one. He is so ordinary that if I take a brick and throw it at any high school, I will hit four or five people."

"After growing up in an ordinary way, after an ordinary night, he inexplicably became aware of the justice of mankind? He also immediately found the organization hidden under the surface of the world and obtained the qualification to join through his incredible reaction ability."

"If life is regarded as a novel, then the first half and the second half of this person's life are written by two different authors. But the problem is that this person really exists, not fictional, and he is in Fire Moth."

Mobius pinned Lin's information on the blackboard and turned to look at Alicia who looked curious.

"Alicea, don't you think that what happened to Lin is worth a closer look?"

"Or did you approach him just to investigate this matter?"

……

"Lin is indeed a person whose personality changes when a major turning point occurs, so I didn't have much doubt about his becoming like this at first, until I went to find his itinerary records the day before he dropped out of school."

Mei's eyes revealed absolute rationality, a gaze even colder than Lin's.

And her words made Kevin frown.

"Did Lin see the collapse with his own eyes that night, so he decided to join the Fire Moth?"

"I thought so too." Mei's eyes twinkled, "But that's not the case."

……

In the conference room, the projector projected the conversation record that had just joined the Fire Moth onto the screen, and the senior executives stared at the video with bated breath.

The hooded boy narrated his experience with an expressionless face.

"In MSA-079's conversation file, he mentioned that he had seen the assassins and the soldiers of the Fire Moth. The soldier of the Fire Moth sacrificed himself to protect him. The pistol in his hand belonged to that soldier. Afterwards, MSA-079 contacted the Fire Moth through the communicator on the soldier."

"These are the words he said when he explained why he joined the Fire Moth."

"But after our confirmation..."

……

"Lin didn't go anywhere that night. He went straight home after school and didn't go out until eight o'clock the next morning."

"During this period, no collapse occurred in Changkong City."

Chapter 34: The Gunfire Will Eventually Result in a Shot

"So...what do you want to say?"

Alicia waved her hand in the air to express her doubts.

"...Alishia, you're really annoying when you act dumb."

Alicia spread her hands innocently and said, "But I am telling the truth. I really don't know why you are saying this."

"You..." Mobius thought of something before he finished speaking, and nodded in sudden realization, "I almost forgot that you also seem to be a guy with unknown origins."

Alicia blinked and smiled, "I have a formal employment channel and record~"

"Hmph, records are the easiest thing to disguise." Mobius had naturally investigated Alicia, and he didn't believe a word of her employment record that was flawless enough to arouse suspicion. "I'm too lazy to pursue your question. It's none of my business, but what happened to Lin really interests me."

"Well... should I go ask him?"

"..."

Mobius's eyes seemed to treat Alicia as a fool.

"Oh, don't look at me like that. Lin treats his friends sincerely, so he will definitely tell you if you ask him." Alicia shrugged indifferently. "But since Dr. Mobius thinks it's not possible, then I'll let you ask him in person. It's not difficult. You just need to become friends with Lin."

"Don't be ridiculous, Alicia. Forget it, I'm stupid enough to tell you this. Just leave when you're full." Mebius waved his hand impatiently, as if to shoo away a fly.

This woman was much more difficult to deal with than that cold-faced man. I thought I could stimulate her excessive curiosity and help her find what she wanted, but it turned out that she behaved completely differently from usual in this regard.

"Dr. Mobius, are you simply curious, or are you worried that things are going beyond your control?"

"..."

When Alicia reached the door, she turned back and asked softly, causing the air to freeze.

Mebius turned his back to her and turned off the lights in the room.

"despair."

In the darkness, a pair of green pupils quietly lit up and looked behind them.

"I think there's no need to worry. No matter what we've been through, there's only one reason why we're here together, right?"

That's why she's not interested in Lin's past.

If I were to explore Lin's secrets, it would open his scars. Even if he pretended not to care, but...

Ai Lishia's smile is as bright as the sun.

……

After cleaning up the dishes and washing his hands, Lin went out and walked towards the R&D department. In this huge headquarters base, he met an "acquaintance" on the road that leads to all directions.

The boy with his face wrapped glanced coldly at the tall man walking towards him, turned around and prepared to go around him.

"despair."

A foot crossed in front of him, blocking his way.

Lin raised her head slightly, looked up at the man who was slightly taller than her, and looked at him without saying a word.

Sigma stared at Lin with a gloomy expression. His eyes stayed on his legs for a few seconds before he spoke slowly, "Have you recovered?"

Lin thought for a moment and nodded: "It's all thanks to Dr. Mebius."
