I'm not Yingjie

Anna's parents saved their child from the brink of life and death. They were a responsible couple who loved their child. Everyone knew this.

They only saw that Anna's parents pushed Anna away at that time, but they didn't see that at the last moment they were humiliating their child and blaming each other, and even the car accident was caused by them going to divorce and not looking at the road.

"I'm sorry, little Anna. I asked someone to investigate your family because I think a child's personality is closely related to her family environment." Binet looked at her apologetically and lovingly. "In fact, you have always been very angry, little Anna, but you have been enduring it, and you are still suppressing it even now."

Anna's pupils dilated and then suddenly shrank, and she brushed off Binet's hand: "Don't think you know me well!"

"So what if you know! That's right, I hate those two guys! They are neither good parents nor a good couple! My appearance became the fuse of their conflict! Because I am a scourge! Now, and I will be when I grow up!"

"I am someone who is not expected to be there! The only meaning of living in this world is to prove that what they said is right! My rudeness, cruelty and ruthlessness prove that what they said about 'destiny' is right!"

Family influences personality? Yes, that's right. No matter how much she hated those two people, their blood still flowed in her body, and their personality was inherited by her, but was she willing to do that? From the moment she was born into that family, her fate was no longer controlled by her.

"Snapped!"

There was a sharp cracking sound.

"Tick."

The blood fell on the grass and slid from the tips of the grass into the soil.

The hysterical roar was stuck in her throat, and Anna opened her mouth wide and looked at the nun in front of her with blood all over her face.

"Ouch... it hurts." Bina staggered and threw down the broken bottle in his hand. He could barely stand, but he still smiled with all his strength. "Anna, you are right. This bottle cannot escape the fate of being broken."

"But it didn't break in your hands, it broke on my head, which you can't imagine."

The nun reached out and touched the stunned child's head.

"We can't avoid fate, but at least we can be upright and free and easy when we face it. And isn't little Anna also working hard to change her own fate?"

"You don't want your personality to affect others, so you vent your anger by smashing bottles."

"Hehe... You are a nun, but you said such outrageous words. I hope the monastery doesn't know about it."

Unconsciously, tears filled Anna's eyes. She looked vaguely at the bloody nun in front of her. The tears that she had forgotten long ago appeared on her face with true emotions.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

The girl threw herself into the nun's arms, venting the resentment and pain she had experienced since she was born.

The nun just stroked her hair gently and said nothing.

Fate determines the outcome, but how to reach that outcome is up to you.

Chapter 73 Falling in Love with the World

Time remaining until the fifth Honkai outbreak: twenty-four hours.

"Binet!"

After returning to the orphanage, Anna immediately went to find Binet in the room. In the face of her confused gaze, she anxiously said to her, "Leave Tran as soon as possible!"

"What's wrong, Anna?" Binet was still thinking about what the children would eat tomorrow, when Anna rushed in and told her to leave quickly. "Didn't you go out with Mr. Lin to do something?"

"I can't explain it! Anyway, you guys should leave here quickly. I'll tell the others to leave as well. Where's the speaker I bought last time?"

Anna hurriedly asked the children in the orphanage to pack their things and prepare to leave. In their confused eyes, Anna could only shout, "Go!"

Binet walked out of the room and came to Anna. Seeing that she hadn't even wiped off the rain and was panting, he went to get a dry towel to wipe her hair.

"Shhhhh."

Binet stood behind Anna and dried her hair before he asked her to turn around and asked seriously, "Anna, what happened? You've been acting strange lately, and Mr. Lin is acting strange too. Are you in trouble?"

"Trouble?" Anna smiled bitterly. "It is indeed extremely troublesome... We should be notified to evacuate soon..."

"What's the meaning……"

"Woo——"

A piercing alarm cut through the hail-covered city, swallowing back all of Binay's words.

She stared out the window in a daze. The originally quiet city seemed to be getting restless.

What on earth happened?

……

"The headquarters has issued an order for all civilians in Tran to evacuate. An alert was sent one minute ago. According to the artificial intelligence developed by Dr. Mei, a large-scale collapse will occur in 24 hours. Based on the current situation, the location of the outbreak is most likely Tran."

Hen stood in front of the densely packed crowd and spoke sternly.

"Support will arrive in about ten hours. Before that, due to the captain of the seventh team being unable to participate in the operation and the temporary adjustment of the headquarters, the staffing has changed."

Alicia was right next to Hen, and her smiling face made people feel no sense of oppression at all.

"From now on, everyone in the third, seventh, and Alicia's original team will obey Alicia's orders!"

"I will be deployed to the temporary team coming to support the headquarters."

Temporary team?

Why is it necessary to make such personnel adjustments at this time?

However, Hen did not give any further explanation. He said with a cold face that they were dismissed and then went to Lin's ward with Alicia.

……

"Temporary team...Hen, you know what this means, right?" Alicia muttered this sentence, and the smile in her eyes disappeared.

"...a team composed entirely of recruits who are not yet regular soldiers or are useless." Hen walked in front and replied, "No need to run-in, just follow orders..."

"Death."

Ai Lixia followed behind Hen: "But Hen, didn't you just feel sorry for Lin, the junior? Now you have to personally lead those new recruits who still have a future to die. Don't you think it's contradictory?"

"I feel sorry for every one of them, but it's a soldier's job to follow orders."

Caring for the younger generation and obeying orders do not conflict.

He looked at his juniors as a senior, and then executed orders as a soldier.

"You don't need to say anything, Alicia. I have my plans."

Hen forcefully interrupted the conversation because they had already reached the door of Lin's ward. After looking at each other knowingly, they pushed the door open and walked in.

"..."

The man wearing a helmet was sitting on the hospital bed. He didn't know how much time it took him to adjust himself to this position so that he could look out the window at the snow and rain.

Lin didn't seem to notice them coming in, or maybe he knew but didn't want to look.

"Lin, the operation will begin in fifteen hours. We will transfer you back to the headquarters in one hour, and your team will move with the others."

"..."

Lin nodded slightly, and there was no other movement.

"Lin, do you have any objection to this arrangement?" Hen's question made Lin turn his head slightly and look at them.

The stare that made the air suffocate.

Surprisingly, Hen didn't sense any deadness from Lin. On the contrary, he felt that Lin seemed to have no problems at all and remained calm and composed.

This is different from the Lin at the beginning.

"Have the city's residents been evacuated?" Lin asked in a hoarse voice.

"An evacuation notice and alert has been issued and it is estimated to take nine hours to complete the evacuation."

"There is a place I want you to pay attention to. It may be the epicenter of a large-scale collapse."

Lin's words surprised Hen for a moment, and then he subconsciously asked: "Where?"

"An orphanage."

Prometheus sent the coordinates of the orphanage to the two of them. After seeing the location, they looked up at Lin, who was becoming increasingly cold.

"When searching the entire city, the only dead man I found was the handyman of this orphanage, and the time when he mutated was probably the first time the abnormal Houkai energy fluctuation was detected."

Lin said calmly.

"After the collapse, the temperature in Tran gradually rose, but that was not a sign of warming, but a precursor to the collapse."

"The Honkai energy did not suddenly rise and then suddenly fall. The reason for the fall was that the Honkai energy was gathered together."

The Honkai energy decreased, but the temperature increased. This was because the Honkai energy was collided together, and the Honkai energy that affected the temperature decreased.

"So the Houkai energy fluctuation detected that time should be the rising Houkai energy being concentrated together, and the Houkai energy concentration around the concentrated location will be higher. This is why the handyman was eroded by the Houkai energy."

The Honkai energy did not disappear out of thin air, but was hidden.

"So that's how it is!" Hen looked at the punctuation marks on the map in disbelief.

"Lin, that girl..." And Alicia thought of another level. Anna, whom Lin brought back at that time, seemed to have known the inside story through Lin, so it was hard not to associate her with this collapse.

Lin nodded: "She was from that orphanage. I asked her to transfer the people from the orphanage first."

"...It seems you haven't been completely defeated yet, Lin."

There was some light flickering in the black pupils under the helmet.

……

"Uncle, people are going to die. This is destined."

"But the way we get to that outcome is up to us."

"I love this world because there are people like the uncle and people like Binet. I thought the world that only hurt me was bleak and hopeless."

"But at least you gave me light, so even if it's just for you, I'm willing to love the whole world."

The girl's smile flashed before my eyes.

Chapter 74: Enlightenment in the Cold Wind

Nothing can change a person's sadness.

Even the awakening born in the times will be lost in the torrent.

……

Time remaining until the fifth Honkai outbreak: twenty-three hours.

The headquarters' transport plane landed on the apron. After the Delta flight device became universal, these transport planes were the first to be used, which greatly increased the efficiency and safety of transportation and made combat support more flexible.

Teams walked out of the transport planes one after another. After experiencing five collapses, the Fire Moths were finally fully prepared to deal with the large-scale collapse and the arrival of the Herrscher. Even the original order for Lin to drive the Titan to attack was cancelled.

But even if it wasn't cancelled, Lin wouldn't be able to fight.

"Where's Lin...?" Kevin looked a little dazed as he got off the transport plane.

When the hidden truth comes to light, the emotional backlash will multiply.

When the news that Lin's body was completely broken reached his ears, he was dealing with Kosmo's temporary deployment. He didn't even notice the pen falling to the ground from his fingertips. He just stared blankly at the information in the communicator.

Can severe forest collapse erode?

The word "severe" means that Lin was not infected with Honkai disease recently, but he was unaware that his friends were suffering?

The same situation happened to Himiko. She was always free and easy and could even laugh during battles, but now she walked down the transport plane in silence with Soul.

But she didn't do what Kevin did because there were other people around her who needed comfort more.

"Hun, are you okay?" Himiko asked softly.

Soul held a huge sickle in one hand that was disproportionate to her body size. She lowered her head and covered her eyes with her hair. After hearing Himiko's whisper, she raised her head slightly but did not say anything.

Hen saw them from a distance, and after thinking for a moment, he slowly walked up to Himiko and said to her in confusion, "Lin is already on the transport plane back to the headquarters."

“…Is that so? That’s good. It’s time for him to take a rest.” Himiko nodded.

"Captain, now let's focus on Honkai." Soul lowered his head and hurried towards the exit with his weapon in hand, causing the stunned Himiko to stretch out her hand, but nothing came out.

……

After the push-back feeling appeared, the transport plane stabilized between the stratosphere and troposphere.

Lin leaned on the cushion with his eyes closed. The helmet stopped functioning and he rested quietly in the darkness.

There was nothing to think about. There was nothing Lin could do now.

"Thirty-two minutes, four seconds and three seconds. Mr. Lin, your brain waves did not fluctuate too much, but you remained awake. This means that during this half-hour period, you did not think about anything, nor did you fall asleep. You were able to maintain consciousness the entire time."
