I'm not Yingjie

The mature red-haired woman burped very immaturely, and a smell of alcohol wafted out from her red lips, completely blowing away her sexy temperament as she lay on the sofa.

“Lin, Lin boy, you’re a pretty good cook.” No one knew whether she was sober or not. She pointed at Lin who was holding the water and said, “You can drink quite well, but a little less than me… huhuhu…”

By the end of this story, Himiko had closed her eyes and fallen asleep. The wine bottle fell from her arms and landed on the ground, making a crisp collision sound with the pile of wine bottles.

capacity for liquor?

Lin didn't drink a single glass of wine. He would not let alcohol numb his brain and affect his thinking. Himiko was simply drunk and unconscious, and mistakenly thought that Lin was drinking with her.

In fact, Hua, who was forced to drink by her, was lying unconscious on the table with his eyelids closed and falling asleep.

Well, the most important thing today has been messed up by Himiko.

Lin originally planned to hold a simple banquet for the fifth team and the seventh team. Over the past year, Himiko has been taking care of the members of the seventh team. Her presence can alleviate Lin's bad aura, and she understands the situation better than Lin.

But now Himiko was unconscious, and Hua, the team member Lin wanted to find out about the situation, was also unconscious.

Moreover, it was not time to end the party yet, but Himiko was already drinking as much as she could, and Hua followed her stubbornly. The others were all very smart and did not fall into the trap. They all drank water or drinks.

"..." Lin Qing shook his head coldly and went to find two blankets to cover the two people.

The banquet lasted until very late, and Klein came to see Lin during dinner time and packed some food from him.

"Did Mebius ask you to come?"

"The Doctor said don't let me say she sent me here."

"..."

Fortunately, although there are numerous monitoring devices in the Fire Moth, the sound insulation is really good, and it does not affect anyone even in the middle of the night.

"I'll take Prometheus away first. Her body still needs to be improved."

Velvet carried Prometheus, whose face had turned into ▽_▽, and walked out. It seemed that during the argument just now, Velvet activated the back door on Prometheus' body.

"Lin, save me..."

"Bang." The door closed.

"Then we should leave too." Mei gestured to Lin before leaving. It was their code for communication. "See you tomorrow, Lin."

Soul carried the mumbling Himiko: "I will take the captain back."

Finally, only Alicia who was smiling but not saying a word, Hua who was snoring, and Imer and Lin who were always silent were left in the room, facing the empty plates on the table without saying a word.

"Why haven't you left yet?" Lin said this to Alicia.

"I think something very interesting will happen next." Alicia never concealed her interest in Lin and smiled calmly, "So I'll stay~"

Lin didn't give her any mercy: "You caused me trouble today."

"A party is more fun when there are more people, or... Lin didn't actually plan to have a party? Or is the party just a cover?"

Alicia was as shrewd as ever, and she guessed 80% of Lin's thoughts in just a few words.

"Hmm..." At this time, Hua Youyou woke up. She raised her head drowsily, and then met a pair of cold eyes.

Lin, wearing a hood, leaned against the wall and stared at her.

He shuddered and immediately came to his senses: "Captain."

The blanket on her body fell to the ground and she picked it up in a hurry. This scene showed her cuteness and made Alicia smile.

"Are you okay?" Lin asked.

Himiko is an old drunkard, and her alcohol tolerance is not comparable to that of a little girl like Hua who has never drunk much.

"Well... I didn't drink much." Hua realized his embarrassing situation and felt a little embarrassed, "Sorry, Captain."

Lin just shook his head at this: "No, it's nothing...you and Yimer come with me."

"Eh? What about me?" Alicia pointed at her own face exaggeratedly and asked pitifully.

"Stay and wash the dishes."

……

The sea breeze on the deck makes people shiver. As we enter late autumn, the air becomes colder, and this year's winter seems to come earlier than in previous years.

Yimer asked Hua beside him: "Hua, aren't you cold?"

She drank so much that she could easily catch a cold.

"It's okay." People who practice martial arts can endure harsh environments, so this little temperature is nothing to Hua.

"..."

Lin, who was standing on the edge of the deck, turned around and looked at the two of them. The solemn atmosphere made them shut up at the same time.

Lin rarely looks for them alone, which means there are indeed some important things today.

"Imer, why do you want to join the Seventh Team?"

But the first sentence Lin said caught them off guard.

Lin only found out afterwards that Imer had taken the initiative to join the Seventh Team. However, he did not think there was any need to explore the matter, so he never asked.

Now he wanted to know what Imer was thinking.

"Captain." Yimer saluted, just like when he first joined the team, and said seriously, "I want to join the Seventh Squad because I think the Seventh Squad can hone me."

“…” This was an unsurprising answer.

Not to mention that time, even now Lin's reputation among the Fire Moths is mixed. The most concentrated point is Lin's personality. Almost everyone thinks that after Lin became the captain, with his character, he is absolutely strict with himself and also requires the team members to do the same.

And Imer happened to think so, so he chose to be transferred to the seventh team.

In fact, after coming to the Seventh Team, Imer discovered that Lin was indeed similar to the cold helmeted man in the rumors, but he was not overly strict with the team members. He would not order the team members to attack together unless it was a mandatory task, and he would solve it alone.

Moreover, Lin rarely even manages the Seventh Team. He is more like a hands-off boss and directly hands the Seventh Team to the captain of the Fifth Team, Himiko, and asks her to guide the two of them.

"…Now, are you disappointed?"

"No." Imer shook his head. "At that time, I was just wishful thinking. I thought you were the most valuable captain and the most suitable one for my development. But after receiving guidance from Captain Himiko, I realized that I was wrong all along."

"In fact, everyone is fighting in their own way, and there is no distinction between good and bad."

What Lin wants to say is that the fact that you can think this way means that Himiko is indeed better at guiding newcomers than him, and it can even be said that Lin has been influenced by Himiko.

"Hua, what about you?"

"I?"

"Do you want to go to Himiko's place?"

This question made Hua hesitate.

Chapter 36 Smile

Lin thought that he did not have enough experience and qualifications to be another person's guide.

Hua's personality and experience have destined her to need a clear goal. This statement may be vague, but it would be more intuitive to say that Hua needs "someone" to give her "a task that must be completed."

She couldn't find it herself, so she needed someone else to order it for her.

Lin's initial consideration was to let Hua first take him as a target, and then he would slowly comprehend her life. However, he was unsure at that time, as he only had five years.

Five years is really too short.

Now Hua and Himiko are very close, which makes Lin feel at ease. Lin knows Himiko's character very well, and it may not be a bad thing to let Himiko replace Lin.

He didn't want anyone to pin their hopes on a dead man like him, and he never wanted to see anyone sacrifice their lives for a man like him who only had two years left to live.

Everything is back on track, that's the best.

"Captain... do you want me to go to the fifth team?" Hua heard the intention of Lin to drive her away in his words. She was almost sober now, but now she felt a chill in her heart.

"If you want to apply for a transfer, you only need the consent of both captains and approval after review." Lin said calmly, "Right now, both the seventh and fifth squads are still understaffed. You can join the fifth squad to provide the greatest substitute combat power."

"What about Team 7?"

"Team Seven will give priority to recruiting new soldiers, don't worry."

It turned out that Hua's intuition was correct. Lin was planning to send her to the fifth team.

"Captain... why?"

Maybe he and Hua have not had any deep interactions in the past year, but Hua has always remembered what Lin said to her. Why would Lin, who saved her and gave her a new goal at that time, take back what he said now?

"..."

Lin's silence made Hua realize that she shouldn't ask him why.

"I reject."

"……Why?"

"..." Hua also followed Lin's example, keeping silent and looking at him strangely.

Seeing this, Yimer came out to smooth things over: "Captain..."

"I have three years left."

Lin's faint words made Yimer and Hua's expressions freeze at the same time.

Three years left?

What do you mean?

"Wow."

The waves hit the deck, soaking his clothes. Lin stood in front of the two of them and reached out to tear off his collar.

Show them the skin just below the neck.

Ugly pink and purple lines crawled up his neck like wriggling worms, disgusting and evil.

When Hua saw the traces of Honkai energy erosion, she suddenly smelled alcohol in her nose. She covered her head, and the world in front of her eyes was spinning, as if she was drunk again and fell into hallucinations.

I feel sick.

She really wanted to kneel on the ground and vomit.

I must have drunk too much.

Hua quickly suppressed the nauseous feeling. She did not feel too sad, but more of an indescribable feeling. This feeling appeared when her friend died in the Honkai, and when she heard that her father was also affected and died.

"Captain, what's going on?" Imer was also incredulous. That Lin, that captain, the Lin who had defeated two Herrschers and three higher-level Honkai beasts, was going to die?

It's like a joke.

Moreover, this degree of erosion has definitely not happened in a day or two, but has lasted for at least more than a year.

No wonder Lin always wears high-necked clothes and rarely exposes his skin.

"My Honkai adaptability is the lowest among the Fire Moths."

“But…but you’re not…” Imer wanted to say that he had always done a good job of protection, and then he suddenly remembered that Lin was seriously injured during the third collapse, “The third collapse…before we joined the team…”

"I'm not special, so it's normal for me to die." Lin's tone was as if he was talking about someone who had nothing to do with him. "I still have three years left. Continuing to carry out missions may shorten this time, so I hope you can prepare in advance."

Hua shuddered.

Prepare……

Prepare for his death?

"It's fine if you want to continue to stay in Team 7, but I told you this so that you can accept it quickly after you are prepared and strengthen your cohesion."

"What you do next is up to you."

When Lin said this, he turned his gaze to the entrance of the deck. It seemed that someone was looking at this side just now.

"..."

But there was no one there, it must have been Lin's illusion.

……

die……?

With trembling fingers, he searched through a pile of information. The dazzling documents were thrown on the ground. Those were the various materials summarized by Lin, but he did not need them.

Where is what you are looking for?

Soon, a familiar file bag came into view. It was the file bag of the physical examination report. Every Fire Moth soldier would undergo regular physical examinations to check whether the body had been eroded by Honkai energy.
