I'm not Yingjie

Lin remembered that he told Hun not to tell anyone about what happened today except the people in the fifth team.

So where did this guy get the information from?

"I heard what Prometheus said~"

"..."

What is more troublesome than Alicia is two troubles coming together.

Lin looked carefully and found that in addition to the fifth and seventh teams, there were other people. Most of them were familiar faces, but there were also two people Lin had never seen before.

"Lin, I didn't expect you to have a party today, and you'd even cook for me."

Kevin was completely unaware that he had been deceived by Alicia. He listened to Alicia's vivid description and thought that the sun rose from the west today. Lin suddenly had the idea of ​​holding a big party, so he couldn't wait to bring Mei and Kosmo over.

Why Kosmo? Because his team members happened to have a day off today, and Kosmo just wanted to train with Kevin, so Kevin took him along.

"Kevin." Lin stared at his dashing smile, "Think more about it next time."

"what?"

Lin ignored Kevin who didn't understand what he said and turned his attention to Kosmo. This young man's spirit was somewhat similar to Kevin's a year ago, and he had been staring at Lin since Lin came out.

This person was the one that day...

Kosmo has not forgotten the fourth Honkai event. In the howling city, the Titan descended from the sky and killed the Honkai beast, and then effortlessly cut the emperor-level Honkai beast in half. Later, when Kosmo asked Kevin who the driver was, Kevin proudly introduced him to his friend Lin.

At first glance, there was nothing special about this man except for the helmet, but when Lin's eyes were on him, he suddenly stiffened and felt like a sharp knife was pressed against the back of his neck.

Is this person's vision so sharp even through the helmet?

"He is my team member, Kosmo, and he assisted me during the fourth collapse." Kevin was used to Lin's eyes that looked like he wanted to tear people apart the first time he saw them. He smiled and patted Kosmo's shoulder, as if introducing his favorite student. "He is still immature, but he has great potential."

After hearing Kevin's words, Lin nodded slightly and said to Kosmo, "I am Lin, the captain of the seventh team."

"Kosmo, private." Kosmo responded concisely.

"Kosmo, please use honorifics when addressing the captain."

At this time, a blonde girl came up from behind, sighed and apologized to Lin: "I'm sorry, Captain Lin, this is Kosmo's personality, please forgive me."

"What's there to forgive? This kid was just as disrespectful to his elders as before. He would remain silent when asked a question." The perfect complaint came out of Himiko's mouth as she sat in the back and had already drunk some wine.

"Haha, is that so?" The girl couldn't help laughing, "But I still have to apologize. Kosmo didn't mean any harm."

Lin really didn't mind this kind of thing. He had a weak concept of class. To him, the captain position was only established to improve the combat efficiency of the team, so he shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter."

"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot to introduce myself." The girl smiled gently, "I'm Desdobia, currently in the fifth team, and I've known Kosmo for a long time. Captain Lin should have heard about it from Hun."

Lin nodded again.

"Great, please give me more advice in the future."

The three of them returned to the noisy crowd. Before they started eating, Himiko had already started drinking heavily. She even pulled Hua, who was not good at talking, to drink. Seeing Imer sweating profusely and trying to help Hua break free from Himiko's grip, Lin shook his head helplessly.

"Um...Team Leader Lin, I'm sorry..."

Hun lowered his head and looked at his toes embarrassedly.

"It's not your fault." Lin told the truth. This was purely Prometheus going against him again, but considering that she had obeyed orders in recent battles, he didn't want to pursue it.

He glanced at the dishes on the table, turned around and walked towards the kitchen: "There are too many people, and there are not enough dishes. I'll make some more."

"Wait a moment, I'll help you." Hun hurriedly followed.

With Hun's help, Lin's cooking efficiency increased a lot. After putting the chopped meat into the pot, he covered the pot, took a short break, and looked at the people outside the kitchen door.

Velvet and Alicia were arguing about how Prometheus should address others, and Prometheus would occasionally add a few words bluntly about his desire not to call others mother.

The fifth team, the seventh team and Kosmo fought together, and it became a personal show of Himiko. Several young boys and girls could not suppress this senior who was nearly ten years older than them.

Kevin and May were talking calmly nearby, but it seemed that May was the one doing the talking and Kevin didn't quite understand.

In this scene, it was as if the collapse had never happened. They just gathered at Lin's home to hold a simple banquet to celebrate his recovery.

Beautifully ordinary, yet also beautifully out of reach.

A hand waved, and the girl's innocent smile appeared in front of him: "Team Leader Lin is in a daze again, what are you thinking about?"

“…I’m thinking of someone.”

"Who?"

"Delta."

"..."

If that man who always looked lifeless and had dark circles under his eyes that almost covered half of his face was still alive, he would probably be here now, standing next to Weiwei and discussing seriously whether Prometheus should call Lin brother or dad.

Lin seemed to see the man standing there at this moment, raising his head and giving him a lazy smile.

"Mr. Delta..." Hun's smile gradually disappeared, and she said softly with complicated thoughts, "Someone left again..."

The people around me passed away quietly.

Death took everything away again.

Hun lowered his head, his eyes dim.

But she soon cheered up.

So in order to prevent anyone from leaving, she must fight and keep death away from her.

absolute.

Chapter 34: About Traitors: Part 1

"Three, two, one... Cheers!"

Lin was caught in the middle and reluctantly raised his glass to clink glasses with them.

The overly cheerful atmosphere did not meet his expectations. In comparison, even the dance party was much more serious than this party.

He quietly found an empty seat and sat down. He didn't eat any food, but just drank water while thinking about what he needed to do next.

The most urgent task is the growing divisions within the Fire Moths. Whether he wants to get involved or not, he can no longer sit idly by. From the Fifth Branch to the Deepest Place to Sakura's assassination, this can no longer be explained by differences in ideas.

Then there is the issue of Sakura, who is currently imprisoned in the deepest place, and there is no one to take care of Ling. The deal between Sakura and someone should have involved Ling as well. For example, there was an agreement that Ling must be taken care of before choosing to carry out this mission. So if we want to investigate, we can start with Ling.

The focus of work shifted from the collapse to the internal affairs. A sense of collapse appeared within the Fire Moth. In order to drive out this bad atmosphere, the Fire Moth needed a unified voice.

Suppress? No, being able to make a voice shows that one's status in the Fire Moth is not low. It is impossible to suppress power. In order to prevent the wrong direction when the Fire Moth was first established, everyone in the parliament had equal power, but now it seems that this system of decentralization has led to the birth of mistakes.

So if you can't make someone lose power, there is only one simple, quick and efficient method left.

The other party has already demonstrated this method to them.

"..."

But Lin won't do that, or he can't do that.

He said he would not kill anyone, not now and not in the future.

"Thinking about the killer named Ying?" Mei sat down next to him with a drink. She knew exactly what Lin was thinking.

"Yeah." Lin thought it wouldn't be a bad idea to discuss this with Mei at this time. "I want to start my investigation from her."

"The investigation into the poison pupa issue has been almost complete in the past two months."

"……what?"

Have you almost finished the investigation?

In the past two months, Mei has indeed been investigating the poisonous pupae, and he has been investigating in a high-profile manner without attracting attention.

This blatant behavior made it difficult for Du Pupa to take action, because the speed and depth of Mei's investigation were beyond everyone's expectations. Those who were investigated did not dare to act rashly. After all, the Fire Moth openly did not allow assassinations of internal personnel.

So it was not surprising that the person who took action this time was a newcomer who had just joined the team.

"I have sorted out the members' information and handed it to No. 1." Mei took a sip of her drink and said, "The Fire Moths need the existence of poisonous pupae, but not the current unit."

Lin immediately understood what Mei meant.

This force has a need to exist, but not in its current form and with its current members.

"I know you won't agree with what I'm doing, but you probably won't object either." Mei spoke a little faster, her eyes scanning the faces of everyone present, "So I'll find someone to do this, and that person has already been chosen."

"..."

Lin did not ask who the candidate was.

……

Qianjie blocked the way.

To be precise, he was standing at the entrance of the paradise as if nothing had happened, with his feet kicked up and he stood there as if no one was around.

Mei is used to Qianjie's unpredictable personality. Similar things rarely happen, but it has happened before. Usually, he will deal with Mei with impatience, and when he is in a good mood, Mei becomes alert instead, because Qianjie's "good mood" is different from that of ordinary people.

"The Herrscher."

"I've said it many times, I have a name."

"Name? Haha... I'm not in the mood to remember a Herrscher's name."

"If you're standing here just to start a quarrel, then move aside. Maybe you'll be able to curse even harder in front of the mirror." Mei retorted.

Mei still remembers that she used to be a very gentle person, but after entering the paradise of the afterlife, her level of sarcasm is rising in direct proportion to the number of heroes she knows. She used to not even say a single dirty word, but now she has learned how to respond to every word aggressively.

“……” Qianjie was rarely silent. According to Mei’s understanding of him, what followed would be either a wild and unbridled laugh or an outburst of rage.

But Qianjie didn't do that. After thinking for a few seconds, he changed his tone to a much kinder one compared to his previous tone and said, "Tell me what you saw in that place."

This "kindness" is only compared to Qianjie himself. In Mei's ears, it still comes across as evil and caused by anger.

Mei crossed her arms and said coldly, "What place? If you are curious about something, can't you just go and see it yourself? Or is it that Qianjie, who is fearless, actually has places in the paradise of the past that he is afraid of and dares not go to?"

"Scared? Huh...are you kidding?"

"I just know that you really don't dare to go there."

Mei later asked Klein about that space, but still didn't have any accurate information. However, Qianjie seemed to know something about it.

"The difference between not daring and not being able to, Herrscher, do you need me to explain it to you again?" Qianjie was obviously a little impatient, and the temperature around him increased significantly. "Do you think I haven't tried to go in?"

"…Have you been there?"

"Why? Do you need me to report to you before you can go?"

"Then you should know what's there."

"If I knew, would I still ask you?"

It seemed like the conversation was about to come to an end. Qianjie's way of communicating with others could only be described as simple and crude, but this kind of directness was different from straightforwardness. He basically said whatever he thought, and he spoke without restraint, which made others angry.

"Qianjie, what do you want to know?"

Then this explosive conversation was stopped.

The azure blue viewing window stared at the two of them, as calm as a dead person.

Lin walked out of the paradise at some point and stood behind Qianjie. A sharp cold air blew in his face.

"Qianjie, I told you that if you have anything you want to ask, you can ask me directly, or you can ask Alicia." He said this to Qianjie, and then he said to Mei, "Raiden Mei, is there anything else you want to do?"

"No." Mei glanced at the silent Qianjie and raised her leg to jump over him.

"I wonder what you were thinking 'at that time'."

Qianjie's words made Mei stop again.

that time?

Mei suddenly noticed that Lin clenched his fists, and this inconspicuous action surprised her.

Lin Zai was...nervous?

And what Qianjie said next made things develop to an uncontrollable point.

"What were you thinking when you became a 'traitor to humanity' and killed the human you once loved the most with your own hands?"
