I'm not Yingjie

She had been keeping an eye on the group and had long known what had happened to the Fifth Branch, but she was still surprised when she saw them getting off the transport plane with her own eyes. After all, it wasn't often that Lin looked shaky.

It was the first time Kevin saw Alicia coming out to greet him. He looked at her smiling face in confusion: "Alicia..."

"Well, it's only been a day since we last met. Are you so surprised?" Alicia particularly likes the action of tapping lips. It's unclear whether she thinks it's sexy or cute. She glanced at Lin who was thinking in the corner, "Or did you miss me?"

"Do not……"

"Indeed, I missed you."

Lin abruptly interrupted Kevin's words and stared at the stunned Alicia with burning eyes.

"Huh?" Alicia's brain didn't react for a moment.

Lin pushed the sleeping soul in his arms to Mei, walked forward and pressed Alicia's shoulders, and said deeply: "I have been thinking about you. I can't sleep for a day without you."

"This, this, this, it's not easy to say now..."

"Then let's talk about it somewhere else."

Lin pulled the flustered Alicia towards his room without saying anything, leaving behind the dazed Kevin and Mei who was caressing her soul with an expressionless face.

……

There were still traces of dried blood on Lin's power armor, which emitted a foul smell. Alicia could tell that the big boy holding her hand was not in a good state today. Each of his movements was larger than before, and was filled with anger and anxiety.

Before today, Alicia had only seen him like this when she first met him and he saw the Honkai adaptability on her report.

With these anxious footsteps, Lin soon arrived at his room. After Alicia entered, he locked the door under Alicia's subtle gaze, then took out a micro device from the mobile unit, stuck it on the wall, and pressed the button to open it.

"Um, Lin, this is..." Alicia had never seen a similar device in the R&D department.

After finishing the preparations, Lin began to unlock the external power armor: "Mei gave it to me. It can paralyze the surveillance system within a certain range."

"...Lin, you were hugging that girl just now, right? If you do this now, I will be angry." When Alicia saw that he started to undress, her eyes became more and more strange, and her attitude was not good.

He won't really be stressed out so...

"You misunderstood." Lin untied the armor and threw it into the cleaning machine. He was left with only a thin short-sleeved shirt. He crossed his arms and said, "But I do want to... want to... want to..."

He thought for a moment and said seriously, "I miss you."

"Lin, you don't have to force yourself to say it if you don't want to." Alicia sighed. She probably guessed that he was saying nice things because he wanted something from her, so she cheered up and smiled, "So, what do you want to say? About the attack on the fifth branch?"

“…” Lin stared at her and said nothing.

"If you don't tell me, I won't know what you're thinking. Even with light signals, it's impossible to interpret every word you say."

"I'm just wondering where to start."

Lin originally wanted to tell everything at once, and then ask Alicia to help him find the person in the upper echelons who planned the attack. After all, her connections were the most suitable for investigating such matters. But after calming down, he became a little hesitant.

He looked at Alicia's warm eyes through the video screen, and couldn't help but hear Spasi's cries in his ears.

"You have nothing, you have nothing to lose, that's why you don't have human emotions!"

"Did you hear that? You have nothing!"

Those are the most painful words from someone who has lost a loved one, and they shake the hearts of everyone who hears them.

Can he guarantee that Alicia will not be implicated?

At this moment, Lin actually felt that something deep in his heart was touched, and an indescribable emotion surged in his heart.

That was a "fear" he had never experienced before.

Lin almost gave in to the emotion and said, "I...no, it's nothing, just pretend nothing happened."

He turned around, turned off the device, unlocked the door, and said to Alicia, "You can go back."

Alicia did not move. Her gorgeous pink eyes glanced at the open door, then at the helmeted man with his head lowered.

Then he pushed the door gently and closed it.

“…” Lin looked up at her.

"Lin, this is unlike you. The Lin I know never hesitates or regrets." Alicia could feel Lin's eyes dodging, "We are friends, so it's okay to tell your friends what's in your heart, right?"

"..."

"Hmm...speak." Alicia reached out and grabbed his helmet and shook it in dissatisfaction.

"There's nothing much to say, I just worry too much."

"Everything Lin is considering makes sense, and I want to listen."

Alicia's fingers tapped gently on Lin's helmet, making a crisp sound.

"I'll just tell you part of it, okay?"

"why?"

"Secrecies also add mystery to a man."

Alicia was stunned when she heard this familiar sentence, and then laughed: "Hahaha, although I am very unhappy that you don't want to tell me everything, but considering that Lin rarely jokes with me, I won't pursue it. So, what is the mysterious thing?"

"Aliceia, do you know the depths?"

Alicia tilted her head and chuckled.

"know."

Chapter 50: Number One Reward: 500,000 to Show Your Face

"You want to go to the deepest place?"

It’s not that she was shocked, but it was the first time that Alicia heard Lin’s request from him. The last time he asked for help, he gave everything he had, so it can be seen that he is actually not very willing to ask for help from others.

And it goes to the "deepest place".

The announcement materials of the Fifth Branch were available to anyone at the captain level, so Alicia had also read the vague notice, which clearly mentioned the deepest place, but did not explain where that place was.

Prison? That seems a little too obvious.

But from Lin's tone, he didn't seem to care where that place was, he just wanted to go there.

Alicia recalled: "I remember the notice stated that the prisoner had been executed. The Fire Moth would not transport a corpse to the deepest place."

Of course, the explanation in the announcement is more like explaining "we originally had this plan, or at least had this attitude", which seems pale no matter how you look at it.

"I need to verify something."

Executed? As long as he didn't see the body, Lin couldn't think that the killer was dead. No matter where the deep place was or what it was, as long as it was not recorded in the data, it was an excellent protection place.

"Lin, will you go with weapons?"

“I carry it with me all the time.”

"You know I didn't mean it that way."

"You know that's what I mean."

Lin will not judge mankind. What he once said to Hua applies to all human beings. He is not here to make choices for mankind.

Imposing personal will on the group will cause humans to lose their original characteristics, and judging human life based on personal ideas is like treating oneself as a god, so Lin is active as a soldier most of the time, and he will not make any judgment on the good or bad of others.

The same is true this time. Even if he really sees the truth that he doesn't want to see in the depths, he will not do anything out of line. He will only let humans judge the sinners themselves.

"Well, I hope you don't scare my other friend, or be scared by her." Alicia combed her long hair on her shoulders, her eyes moving around Lin's body.

Lin shuddered when he saw her familiar look and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Lin, I helped you so much, shouldn't you show some appreciation?" Alicia covered her mouth and chuckled, "Even when Mobius reattached your arm, you put all your belongings on the line. I've been envious of you for a long time~"

So that’s what it is. Do you want something in return?

Lin thought about it and felt that he couldn't come up with any good reward, so he asked, "What do you want?"

But Lin didn't understand one thing: when others ask for compensation, you should never ask them what they want, because this is equivalent to handing the upper limit of the compensation to the other party, especially someone as smart as Alicia. When she heard this, she smiled and narrowed her eyes.

"Well... go shopping with me? Cook me a big meal? Tell me a shocking joke? All good." Alicia looked from her feet to her head, and finally stayed at that place, "But as expected, this is the most attractive."

"..."

Where she was looking was where the helmet was.

"Okay, it's decided!"

Alicia took a step forward, and came to within 20 centimeters of Lin. She licked her lips seductively and smiled, "My dear Lin, please take off your helmet now. Oh no, in case you cover your face with it, then you will fall into the trap. Then please show me your face~"

After saying that, she looked at Lin expectantly.

"Why you're so interested in my appearance is beyond my comprehension."

Since they first met, Alicia had wanted to find out the truth many times, but there were several times when she could have taken advantage of Lin's unconsciousness but she didn't just lift up his helmet.

Alicia smiled brightly: "Hehe, the more mysterious something is, the more it can stimulate people's desire to explore."

"…There's nothing interesting to see. Let me tell you a joke."

"No, Lin, are you going to regret this? Oh, I don't know if my weird friend will allow me to secretly lead people to the deepest place~"

Lin clenched his fists, then slowly loosened them, sighed, and under Alicia's expectant eyes, he unfastened the neck buckle of the helmet, and then placed his hands on both sides of the helmet.

Slowly, lift the helmet up.

The semi-long black hair first leaked out from the helmet, and then Lin's entire face.

"..." Alicia's smile froze on her face at first, then she rubbed her eyes in disbelief, and after wiping them clean, she carefully looked at the face that was so close to her.

Finally, after making sure it was not an illusion, she opened her mouth wide and pointed at Lin, unable to utter a word.

"I told you, there's nothing to see."

Lin's voice was no longer obstructed by the helmet, and it had a more human feel.

When Alicia heard the familiar voice and the unfamiliar face, she looked as if she had seen a ghost. She began to wonder if the world line had changed when she took off her helmet, and that the person standing in front of her was no longer Lin.

"Lin." After a long while, Alicia finally recovered from the shock of learning Lin's true appearance. She patted her chest, swallowed her saliva, and looked away. "I think I understand why you covered your face. If you don't cover it, it will indeed cause quite a stir."

After Lin's face briefly touched normal air, he put the helmet back on: "This is not what I want."

"What should I say? I clearly saw Lin's true appearance, but..."

Alicia was a little conflicted. She should have been happy to see Lin's face, but she was not mentally prepared, so the shock she felt from Lin's appearance was far greater than the incident itself, and she was not happy at all.

However, she is Alicia, and she can think of a hundred ways to make herself happy in a second.

Alicia thought for a moment and then smiled: "Lin, have you shown it to Mebius?"

"No, but this is part of the agreement between me and her."

Mobius is different from Alicia. She is more interested in Lin himself than his true face under the helmet, so Lin promised to show her, but she didn't let Lin do it.

Of course, it is also possible that you simply forgot, just like cooking.

"Okay, Lin, then you have to promise me that you won't show your face to anyone but me."

"why?"

"Let me have it all to myself for a while, okay?"

It didn't seem like a big deal, so Lin nodded in agreement.

"Well, very good. Without further ado, let you meet with Wei Wei first."

Chapter 51 I am a great great great poet

"I love you, it has nothing to do with you."

“Even the endless thoughts at night belong only to me and will not last until dawn.”

"Maybe it can only exist in the dark."

Under the dim candlelight, fingers wearing gloves stroked the words on the carefully arranged poems, translating the obscure Spanish into common language. The sad and beautiful poetry in the poems turned mournful and long in the elegant voice.

In the lonely room, there is the occasional sound of mechanical operation and gear meshing, and soft hands are flipping through a collection of poems.

Being tranquil and far-sighted is probably the characteristic of people who cultivate their moral character.

"Oh, why don't you turn on the light? It's bad for your eyes to read like this."

It's like a stone thrown into a calm lake, breaking the natural tranquility.

"Snap!" A slap on the headlight switch, and the light as bright as daylight instantly dispelled all the evil darkness, along with the deliberately created literary atmosphere.
