I'm not Yingjie

“The so-called right path is to have unshakable faith in yourself.”

Jump down.

……

Mei watched Lin falling from the sky among the tall buildings, and Alicia stood on the roof, waved to her, then stepped back and disappeared.

She focused her gaze on the fully armed helmeted man in front of her. He was now dressed differently than usual.

Pistols, rifles, daggers, long swords...all kinds of weapons are mounted on his body, but he doesn't look bloated. It may be because Lin Guang has a sense of oppression that his whole body will start shooting at once just by standing there.

It seems that this is how Lin usually fights.

Then fighting is inevitable.

Lin did not take action directly, but stood up straight and said to Meiyi: "Visitors can get recognition and gifts from any Yingjie, and then leave with the purpose of the visit, but they cannot get anything from me."

"And the only purpose of my appearance before visitors is to examine whether they pose a threat to the Paradise of the Afterlife."

In other words, Lord Kevin outside the Paradise of the Past is the first checkpoint for inspection, while this role inside the Paradise of the Past is played by Lin.

"But you still helped the visitor instead of just ignoring him after a simple inspection." Mei didn't draw her sword directly. She looked at Lin straight in the eye. The helmet that hadn't changed for thousands of years seemed to have become his symbol, but Mei knew that was definitely not Lin's true face. "Lin, I have seen you as a child, and I also learned about you when you grew up from Raven. I don't think any of you will become a 'traitor to humanity'."

"So, can you tell me the answer I need?"

Everything about you, everything about the paradise on earth...

"I'm standing here just to examine you."

But Lin also gave his usual response.

"Raiden Mei... No, Herrscher of Thunder, come and challenge me. Use your identity as a Herrscher to fight against the humans of the previous civilization."

"In the name of humanity, those standing here are only the remnants of past humans."

"Only for [Unname]."

Chapter 44: No More Past

Thunder roared, two phantoms intertwined in the steel jungle, and the sound of golden sounds was endless.

Alicia stood in the distance and watched the battle in this fake city. She had long understood that no matter who won or lost, Lin would engrave [Nameless] on Mei, so she was not nervous at all and enjoyed the battle that spanned 50,000 years.

Now the two of them were just testing each other. Lin abandoned his best fighting style and chose to confront Mei head-on. Mei did not use the power of the Herrscher from the beginning, but relied on physical skills and swordsmanship to fight with Lin.

After deflecting the opponent's sword again, Lin suddenly pulled out the second knife with his other hand, and with both knives, he chopped Mei back step by step.

"bass!"

The blades were in a stalemate. Mei supported herself with her feet, stared at Lin and said, "Your swordsmanship doesn't seem like something that an ordinary person can use."

"Someone taught me." Lin took a big step with his right foot, shook his wrist, broke Mei's block, and then kicked her arm guard, kicking her out.

"Oh!"

Mei shook off the debris on her body and walked out of the big hole in the wall. She looked at Lin who was not in a hurry to chase and asked: "Ying? Aren't you two on bad terms?"

He was proficient in using both single and double swords, and each of his moves showed the shadow of the Far Eastern swordsmanship. It was obvious that someone had taught Lin his swordsmanship.

"This has nothing to do with whether the relationship is good or bad." Lin sheathed his sword with his left hand and pointed the tip of his right sword at the ground. "Make up for shortcomings and strengthen strengths. This is how pre-civilized humans survived. Any skills and technology can be used."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin drew his gun, and Mei activated the power of the Herrscher to start the second round of competition.

"Oh, it looks like they're serious." Alicia, who was watching the show, moved back to avoid being affected.

"Sister Ellie?"

At this time, a puzzled voice sounded behind Alicia. Alicia turned around and saw the cat girl with heterochromia and was stunned for a moment.

"Pado? Why are you here?"

"I don't know either. Brother Lin asked me to find something. After I found it, I asked Can to lead the way and came here." The cat girl named Paduo was also confused. At this time, the movement under the high-rise building attracted her attention. She was shocked when she looked over. "Wow! Why are there people fighting! That is... Brother Lin, right? Why is Brother Lin fighting with the visitor?"

The heroes in the paradise of the past all learned through various means that the visitor this time was a Herrscher, and Padufils was no exception. However, Lin specifically found her to explain the situation of Raiden Mei, probably because he was worried that she would do something abnormal after meeting Mei.

"Brother Lin has never fought with anyone here, why did he fight today?"

"Hmm... maybe he wants to give the seal away." Alicia nodded, pinching her chin in a deep voice, "After all, Lin's seal has never been given to a visitor."

"Brother Lin wants to give the seal away? But he is not..."

"There has to be a first time. These are Lin's own choices. We just need to watch from here." Alicia made a shushing gesture, but it was a bit out of place with the earth-shaking battle scene in the distance. "Speaking of which, Lin has been asking Padu to find something recently. What is it?"

"Um... Brother Lin said not to show it to others." Paduo held the big bag tightly in her hand, laughed dryly and stepped back.

"Pado, are Lin and I very close?"

"Well..." Padu hesitated for a moment before nodding, "right...?"

"Of course!" Alicia patted her chest confidently, "Aren't I and Padu very close?"

This time, Paddo admitted honestly: "Yes."

"Then Lin and Padu are also super close, right?"

"Of course!" Padu smiled happily when she heard this.

Alicia persuaded him: "There is no 'others' between us. We are all companions. It won't hurt if you take a look at me."

"..." Something seemed wrong, but Brother Lin often indulged Sister Ai Li in her own way, which was a rare tolerance for him. So, it shouldn't be a problem to let Sister Ai Li take a look at the thing, right?

For Padu, who wanted to please both sides, there seemed to be nothing to lose, so she took out the bag: "You can only take a look, Sister Ellie, don't tell Brother Lin."

"So it's this..."

When Alicia saw the bag full of things, she realized that Lin didn't really seem to be just going through the motions.

……

Gone again.

The Herrscher of Thunder stood vigilantly in a position where she would not be attacked from behind. She was familiar with the rhythm of this attack, which was the psychological oppression that "Lin" had given her last time.

The last battle site was vast, but was still suppressed by Lin's elusive and sinister sneak attacks. This time, they came to Lin's home court. Unless Mei flattened all the surrounding buildings in an instant, the situation last time would be repeated.

But Mei would never do that. Lin is not such a stupid person. He has definitely considered the idea of ​​Mei destroying the building directly. If she really did that, she would fall into his trap.

Lin's own strength is not that strong. With the physical fitness and ability of a Herrscher, it is not difficult to defeat him head-on. However, it is difficult to fight against Lin because he will often use some tricks even when fighting you head-on.

Or maybe the "head-on confrontation" was just an illusion he created for the enemy.

"Oh!"

The bullet came from the side. After Mei swung her sword, a bolt of lightning struck precisely at the location where the bullet came from.

"Zi la..."

Sure enough, it didn't hit anything.

Where, exactly?

Mei felt Lin's sharp and cold gaze staring at her from every direction, waiting for the moment when she relaxed.

Don’t let up—

"Give me."

Lin grabbed the bag from Alicia's hand.

"Aren't you fighting with Mei?" Alicia asked in surprise to Lin who suddenly appeared.

Lin glanced at her: "Phase shift."

"Brother Lin, I brought you something." Padu looked at Lin with shining eyes, and his tail stood up happily.

"Well, well done, Paduo." Lin touched Paduo's head gently.

Just as Alicia said, Lin's attitude towards Pado was different from that of others. He was not stingy with his praise for Pado, and almost all of his rare friendliness was given to Pado.

Many people were puzzled as to how these two people with such different personalities could have such a close relationship, including Pado herself. In fact, she did not understand why Lin, who was extremely indifferent to everyone at that time, would take such meticulous care of herself, a junior who joined the team later.

But there are some people who understand the reason, but they all tacitly keep silent about it.

After nodding to Paddo, Lin took a step back and activated the phase shifter.

It's time for round two.

Chapter 45: Winning Rules

"Oh!"

Above!

A gleam of light flashed in Mei's purple eyes. She tapped her feet lightly and flew upwards, leaving a slightly burnt stench in the air.

After seeing that Lin's sniper figure had not yet remembered to retreat, Mei controlled her giant arm and swung the sword, cutting the building directly in the middle, then accelerated again and drew the sword to slash at Lin.

wrong……

Mei paused when she was about to touch Lin. She frowned and looked at the "Lin" in front of her. When she saw that he was just maintaining the sniping action, she understood.

Is this a projection bait?

Mei also knew what was going to happen next.

"Da, da, da, da, da, da..."

Mei opened the shield around her body, and the bullets were broken up without even making a ripple on the shield.

But before she could fight back, a mini missile hit her shield accurately. Mei found that this mini missile actually destroyed her shield in an instant.

This is a technology specifically designed for the shield of the Herrscher!

Mei immediately retracted her shield and retreated, but it was too late. The missile exploded in front of her, and the blooming fireworks burned in the sky over the city.

……

Alicia swung her legs and looked at the bright flame and smiled, "Wow, it turns out that Lin is different now that he has equipment."

"So those are Brother Lin's equipment." Paduo suddenly realized, "But why haven't I seen them before?"

"Because before Padu joined, those equipment had already been eliminated due to being outdated." Alicia counted on her fingers, "The light projection developed through the ability of the Fourth Herrscher, the neutralizing missiles for the Honkai shields commonly possessed by Herrschers, and the main weapon that Lin has been using..."

“Then why were you eliminated?”

"Why... Because none of these will be used later. The focus of the development of the Fire Moth has shifted to the Fusion Warrior."

Instead of Lin, who is qualified for a fusion warrior, what he can do with equipment can also be done by a fusion warrior, so naturally he will not be allocated more resources to develop new equipment.

After the fourth collapse, Lin has been on a downward spiral in Fire Moth. In a sense, it was his own choice.

The so-called right path is to have unshakable faith in yourself.

Lin, who implements this sentence, may not care about the things that happened in the past.

……

One missile could not hurt the Herrscher, but it also made Mei realize that it would be better not to passively fight back. If Lin, the combat opportunist, gained the upper hand, defeat would be inevitable sooner or later.

After making up her mind, Mei no longer held back and used all her power. A dragon shadow roared out from behind her with a thunderous sound!

"Kurigara!"

The black and red dragon caught Mei steadily, and after she gave the order, destructive Houkai energy gathered in its mouth.

"howl--"

The red light of destruction swept across the city, leaving scorched earth wherever it went, and those steel buildings fell down like straw.

In just a few seconds, she destroyed nearly half of the buildings. The energy fluctuations destroyed other high-rise buildings one after another in a chain reaction. The armored dragon flew over the ground at a low altitude, sweeping all possible gaps in the forest.

Since he was deliberately luring her into the trap, she might as well just do as he wished!

Seeing that the area was getting smaller and smaller, and the Herrscher who had made such a fuss was still coming towards them, Padu hid behind Alicia in fear: "Ai, Ai, Ai, Sister Ali, how about we go first?"

"Don't worry, Lin is watching."

"Fuck-"

As soon as he finished speaking, six particle beams hit Kurikara's wings from behind Mei. The power was not particularly strong, but it still made Kurikara wail, and he almost fell down due to the shock.

"Are you finally out?" Mei patted Kurikara's back gently, and after comforting it, she turned her head to look at the figure standing in the ruins.

At this moment, Lin was not holding a gun, but returned to the posture of holding two knives in each hand.
