I'm not Yingjie

"How can you have such good achievements with such low adaptability?"

"Of course he did. He must have deceived his teammates and taken all the credit. Otherwise, do you think he, a rookie who has only been in the team for a short time, can become the captain?"

"That Kevin from the first team..."

"Come on, Kevin's Honkai adaptability is very high, unlike him."

Different.

"Humph, you keep acting so arrogant all day long, you really think you're so great."

"Don't say that. Maybe he has a low adaptability to Honkai energy and will be eaten away by it in a few years?"

"Haha, that's right. After all, even someone with our level of adaptability can only serve as a logistics support. If he is often on the battlefield, he will definitely die quickly."

"I'm not as stupid as him to risk his life for a little achievement."

"That's true..."

"bass."

“What’s wrong…Ahhhh! You, you, you, don’t—”

"bass."

Hun stood on the roof and kicked the corpse downstairs, smashing it into a pulp on the ground, making it indistinguishable from the corpses of the dead soldiers and the Honkai beasts.

Trash should stay with trash.

Soul smiled and turned away.

Chapter 40: Sense of Disharmony

"Neural connection begins, time limit is one minute."

"call……"

A familiar feeling was transmitted from the end of the connection to his mind. Lin closed his eyes and sensed the outside world through the body's information system.

This description is very apt, like looking for the direction of stars in a foggy night.

In order to make Titan compatible with the driver's newly added sensor devices like an extension of perception, the thirty-six device positions of Titan gradually enveloped the surroundings like misty clouds, and transmitted all activity information into the mind like water flowing in a pipe.

A minute passed quickly, and when Lin opened his eyes again, the neural connection had been forcibly disconnected by Prometheus. The sudden change in perception range caused him to lose consciousness for a moment.

Pupils are dilated.

It was pitch black before my eyes, with no light in sight.

Many people stood before him, but he could not see them because his eyes were blinded.

The dead crawled out of their graves and black rain fell from the sky, accompanied by howling winds and thunder and lightning.

He knew those people were there, looking at him with a smile.

It was like a welcoming ceremony, inviting Lin to join them.

I took a step forward involuntarily.

"Lin, you are our hope."

Pupils condense.

"Forest."

The mecha girl called out expressionlessly.

"..." Her face was too close, almost sticking to the helmet. Lin pushed her away with his backhand, shook his head which had not yet recovered, and walked out of the cockpit.

Was that just... an illusion?

"After one minute of neural connection, you lost control of your body for five minutes." Wei Weiwei turned around from the screen on the round stool in the distance and sighed helplessly, "And this time it's not even paralysis, but a direct vegetative state... No, a vegetative state has no consciousness but can react to external stimuli, and you are just the opposite. Your five senses are gone but your consciousness is still there, which may be more terrifying."

"…Just state the conclusion."

"The conclusion is..." Weiwei spread her hands and said, "You'd better not drive a Titan anymore, otherwise you may face a worse outcome than death."

Lin had heard countless warnings, and one more wouldn't hurt, so he just nodded after listening, and forgot about it the next time he was needed to drive the Titan to attack.

But this time, he wanted to ask another question about the sequelae.

There was no trace left on Lin's retina, because he had no vision during that hallucination. He looked at Wei Wei for a while before saying, "Can neural connections cause hallucinations?"

"Hallucination? It's not impossible, because it involves your neural consciousness, but it also depends on what kind of hallucination it is." Wei Wei asked belatedly, "You are hallucinating? What kind?"

"…No, I didn't."

"Really? That's good. After all, this thing is not easy to adjust, and it is not really in line with my interests. But after the director of the R&D department left, you can only rely on me."

That's right, Lin's current equipment was adjusted and developed with the friendly assistance of Wei Erwei. The focus of the R&D department shifted to Mei's development direction. It is naturally impossible for Lin to throw away weapons after use as he did before, and it is even more impossible for him to develop new weapons according to his model.

But Weiwei is not specialized in this area. She also has research and development tasks assigned by the Fire Moth. Lin can only come to prepare equipment when she is free.

"Anyway, let's put the Titan aside for now. I'll help you make some improvements, but I don't know how much I can improve." Wei Wei sighed, "After all, they want a mass-produced autonomous Titan. No one can afford the side effects and driving difficulty of an autonomous Titan."

Both Lin himself and the self-machine Titan were listed as those to be replaced after the fourth collapse.

……

"Team Leader Lin!"

As soon as I walked out of the door, I saw Hun standing in the distance, smiling and waving. The blood all over his body was shocking. It should be the blood stained during the mission.

Lin and Prometheus walked over in unison.

"Another mission completed~" She squinted her eyes and smiled happily, and said happily to Lin who was looking down at her, "This time the efficiency of the fifth team is the highest ever, even faster than when Lin was still in the team."

"..."

Lin didn't say anything, but he nodded silently as a compliment to Hun.

This girl's more than one year of experience has yielded considerable results. She has great talent and can achieve good results with a little training.

But...she was covered in blood, why did she come to him without washing it first?

Noticing Lin's gaze, Hun touched his hair embarrassedly: "This mission ended very quickly, but there was a little accident when we came back. Two logistics personnel were missing. It is very likely that they accidentally entered the dangerous area and were killed. We searched for them for a long time but couldn't find them, so we came back so late and didn't have time to take a shower..."

When talking about the accident, she lamented bleakly: "Another person has died."

The disappearance of logistics personnel is not a rare thing. Clearing dangerous areas itself is extremely risky. Even in places with so-called higher safety factors, they will occasionally be attacked by breakthrough-level Honkai beasts.

But what comforted Lin was that even though Hun was sad about his life, he quickly cheered up and changed the subject: "By the way, Captain Lin, can you come with me to eat later?"

"...I have something else to talk to Vilvi about." Prometheus suddenly turned around and walked back, entering the Spiral Workshop without looking back.

Lin originally wanted to say that he had team training later, but Hun's almost pleading look made him frown behind his helmet, and he agreed.

"Then Captain Lin, please go to my room and wait for me to finish my shower."

Hun laughed particularly happily.

……

Lin listened to the sound of water running in the bathroom and took a look at Hun's room during this free time.

The room is very suitable for general girlish style. The decoration is not too complicated, revealing a refreshing and pure beauty of white.

There were a few photos on the table. Lin walked over, picked them up and took a look.

A photo of Hun and her parents. Judging from the look of Hun in the photo, it should be when she was about twelve years old, and all three of them are smiling.

Lin suddenly had an indescribable feeling.

There was a strange feeling of disharmony, but he didn't know where it came from, so he could only put the photo down and pick up another one.

The photo of Soul and Himiko also shows them smiling. Lin is not in the photo. It may be a photo taken after he left the Fifth Squad.

The third photo is her selfie. She looks unexpectedly cute with a smile.

The sense of disharmony lingers.

The fourth photo is a group photo of three people with Destobia and Himiko. Only the soul in this photo has no expression.

Then Lin saw himself.

There are several consecutive photos of myself taken from behind, some close and some far away.

"Click."

The flash illuminated half of Lin's face.

Lin turned his head and looked towards the misty bathroom door.

The soul, wrapped only in a bath towel, put down the camera in his hand with a smile.

Lin suddenly realized where that sense of disobedience came from.

Chapter 41 Laughter

Lin knew where the sense of disobedience came from.

It is the "smile" of the soul.

Hun's smile is cute and pure, which is unique to girls of her age. She smiles often. She is smiling in most of the photos. Lin can feel the joy from the inside out.

The only exception was the photo of her with Himiko and Desdobia. She didn't smile, but just looked at the camera with a strange expression, as if her soul had died and only the body remained.

Although Hun was smiling now, the feeling she gave him was exactly the same as the expressionless her in the photo.

"Which photo does Captain Lin like?" Hun didn't seem to notice Lin's abnormality. She simply wrapped herself in a bath towel, exposing a large area of ​​skin, and walked lightly to Lin's side, looking at the photos on the table. "I took these photos of Captain Lin secretly. I feel a little embarrassed to say it out loud."

"That's a photo of me and my parents, this one is with the captain, this one is just a random photo, and this one..." She paused for a moment as she looked at the last photo, then smiled calmly, "This one was taken when Team Leader Lin left the headquarters and Desdobia joined the team."

Lin looked at Hun's expression. Her smile looked not much different from the one in the photo, which made Lin wonder if he was being too suspicious.

"Huh? Captain Lin, why are you staring at me?" Hun noticed that Lin hadn't said anything but his eyes were always on her face. She shrank back shyly, but this posture made her figure, which was only wearing a bath towel, more prominent.

"No...it's nothing."

Maybe I really am too worried.

Then she leaned towards Lin mischievously: "But if Captain Lin really wants to see..."

"leave me alone."

Lin's pupils shrank and he took two steps back.

"..."

"I'll wait for you outside and change your clothes."

Lin walked out of the room and closed the door behind him.

Her bangs covered Hun's eyes, and the smile on her face gradually turned into a gloomy and cold expression. She glanced at the photo on the table.

Lin outside the door lifted up his sleeves and took a look at his skin.

The lines haven't spread to the arms yet, but it shouldn't take long.

Don't get too close to others, Mebius's warning still echoes in my ears.

The body has not yet shown any symptoms of discomfort, but the erosion rate has almost reached the minimum requirement.

Death was approaching him, and all he could do was push others away, away from the death that he was causing.

……

"Hey~ Mei~" Alicia was sitting on the sofa leisurely flipping through a book. When she saw Mei coming, she closed the book and greeted her, "Wait a minute, don't say anything yet. Let me guess... you have something to ask me, right?"

"..." Mei watched her entertain herself calmly, which was considered as her agreement.

"Haha, I guessed right~ We really have the same mind." Alicia nodded happily, as if she could always find something to be happy about. "Then let me guess again, this matter is related to Lin, right?"

"Yes."

"Then let's do what Mobius did last time, Mei. How many clues and questions do you have now?"

Mei sorted out the information and said, "Lin, Fusion Warrior No. CM-00, was the first Fire Moth soldier to undergo a super transformation surgery, and also the first person whose surgery failed. According to the various testimonies I have collected, there are many reasons why he underwent a super transformation surgery, one of which is that he is already a top-notch existence among humans."

The elites among humans, after undergoing super transformation surgery, will be able to maximize the use of the power brought by the surgery. I am afraid that there will be other top soldiers who can undergo the super transformation surgery at that time, but Lin chose to be the first one to undergo it.

"Lin had defeated many Herrschers before the surgery. Before Kevin became a fusion warrior, he was the human who defeated the most Herrschers."

"Yeah, that's right, Lin's strength is beyond doubt."
