I'm not Yingjie

Is that...Binet?

Anna remembered.

After the loud noise, Anna saw a gem-like object suddenly appear on Binet's chest, emitting a cold icy blue light, and then she was pushed away by the impact.

What happened to Binet?

Binet looked at her coldly and mercilessly, as if she were a stranger, staring at the stunned Anna with his ice-blue eyes that were not there before.

'Hershers are also a product of the collapse. They are only born in large-scale collapses. They are the most concrete manifestation of the collapse. They can control the collapse beasts and the dead soldiers. Their birth is a devastating blow to human society.'

"Are they... Herrschers all female... No, are they all human females?"

Memories of my past exchanges with Hua flashed through my mind like lightning.

This made Anna stunned on the spot in disbelief.

Binet became... a Herrscher?

The Bibi who was talking to her in the last second turned into the humanoid monster Herrscher mentioned by Hua in the next second?

"Bi...Nay?" Anna stretched out her hand towards Binet in the air and murmured.

However, the next moment——

"bass!"

Anna looked down at the ice cone that was "growing" from her stomach. The blood on it turned into red ice crystals and dissipated in the cold wind along with her life.

I couldn't even utter a word, and a chill quickly covered my entire body. "

"Bang." Anna fell to the ground.

The innocent beret gently slipped off her head.

Chapter 7 The Snow Melted

The whole body feels like it is pierced by needles, every drop of blood carries pain, every pore is consuming life, and every breath exhaled seems to blow out the fire of life.

My stomach was burning, but countless cold winds were blowing through it. The mixture of heat and cold was like torture.

Cold and shaking, his only eye saw the bloodless and purple bruises on his fingers.

"Forehead……"

it hurts.

Moving a finger would involve the pain nerves, causing muscle spasms and limbs to become stiff, as if a corpse was crawling on the ground.

"Puff." A mouthful of blood with a strong smell of rust was spat out on the ground, and in the instant it scattered, it condensed into a blooming blood flower.

The hat that fell off was stained with blood and froze to his hair, making the messy hair into a ball.

Anna's arms were shaking. Looking at the increasing number of blood-colored ice crystals under her, she bit her lip and raised her head tremblingly.

"Bi... Nai..."

The Fifth Herrscher, who was planning to leave, found that Anna was not dead after hearing her words, so he raised his hand and prepared to freeze Anna into ice chips.

"Binet..." Anna coughed up blood clots. She shook her head tremblingly, "You...what's wrong..."

After hearing this, the Fifth Herrscher actually stopped, looked at Anna, who was only breathing her last breath, with her icy blue eyes, and whispered with her lips as thin as ice: "Anna."

"Binet... do you still remember me..." Anna saw that the Fifth Herrscher could say her name. Even though the pain from her wounds made her almost faint, she still reluctantly stretched out her hand to the Fifth Herrscher in mid-air.

That’s great, Biana is still conscious, she must be able to change back... Uncle must have a way to change Biana back.

"Anna." The Fifth Herrscher smiled and repeated the name.

There is no mistake, this is Binet's smile. How could such a warm smile belong to a monster that kills without blinking an eye...

How can...

Anna's expression froze when she saw the Fifth Herrscher's eyes.

The gentleness of the past has been replaced by the ruthlessness of blue, and there is no element that can be called "human".

Her smile at this moment seemed to be just a reaction of some kind of program.

Anna watched helplessly as the Fifth Herrscher raised his hand again, then smiled kindly and waved his hand. A row of icy spikes appeared in front of him, aiming at the dying girl.

Anna closed her eyes in despair, tears fell from the corners of her eyes and shattered into ice flowers on the ground.

'Their birth is a devastating blow to human society.'

She suddenly opened her eyes and stared at the Fifth Herrscher.

No... Anna... No, if the Herrscher kills her here, she will be outside the city! The shelter is in this direction, the Herrscher cannot be allowed to leave!

“Oh ahhhhhhhhhh!!!” Anna roared with all her strength to prop up her body, staring directly at the ice edges that were flashing with cold light.

The Fifth Herrscher pointed lightly, and more than ten ice spikes pierced Anna - "Swoosh!"

Anna rolled to the side with great effort and avoided most of the attacks, but an ice spike still pierced her left leg and the blood coagulated before it could flow out.

not dead!

Anna climbed up and jumped into the car next to her right under the Fifth Herrscher's nose. Without turning off the engine, she stepped on the accelerator and passed under the Fifth Herrscher's body.

The jeep sped towards the city center.

"..." The Fifth Herrscher stayed where she was. She stared coldly at the jeep stalling and driving away. Then after a few seconds, her original clothes gradually disappeared. A dress similar to ice gauze reappeared on her body, and an ice crystal crown formed on her head.

After adjusting his own strength, the Fifth Herrscher, who had initially adapted to the power, chased after the jeep.

……

The wound had been frozen and she could not feel any pain, but Anna could feel herself getting weaker and weaker. She could hardly hold the steering wheel. She could only hold the steering wheel tightly with her chin and hands and step on the accelerator with both feet.

She was hot and cold, and sweat kept bubbling from her head and freezing on her skin.

Glancing at the rearview mirror, she discovered that the Fifth Herrscher was nearly ten meters behind her. The ground and houses she had flown over were covered with a thick layer of ice. The cold air she directed was following the car closely, and any contact with it could freeze the wheels and exhaust pipe, so Anna didn't dare to let up on the accelerator and maintained the highest speed.

Binet...

Countless images flashed through Anna's mind. Her consciousness kept switching between darkness and reality. She could hardly see the road ahead and could only rush forward blindly.

"Cough cough..."

It seems like I have been running on this road a long time ago.

Being chased by people, being chased by the invisible darkness.

At that time, I always dreamed that there was something behind me, but I didn’t dare to look back, because as soon as I looked back, I would be swallowed by the darkness.

Later, the darkness disappeared, and Binet stood in the light, smiling and waiting for him with open arms.

Yes, I have actually walked out of "fate".

Later, the man in the helmet stood sadly in the icy rain.

Bina drags Anna out of the darkness, and Lin gives her a new life.

In this month, she defeated her past self, the self who should have become a villain, and finally...

The light in Anna's pupils faded, and in her eyes was reflected the orphanage where she grew up, and herself who had left there and now returned.

Her fingers slid gently down from the steering wheel, and she returned to the day she met Lin.

The man walked in front and he followed behind, looking at him closely.

Frost climbed onto the wheel, the cart was overturned, and the girl fell into the orphanage, right into the main hall.

The ice block with the beret stuck to it was hit and fell to the ground.

Under the colorful stained glass windows, a smile appeared on her flawless white face, and she looked up at the Fifth Herrscher who was slowly flying in front of her.

"But...if...it was me...maybe...it would be better...Hina...you wouldn't have to...become...like this..."

The ice slowly spread from the ground to the girl's empty pupils.

That person will definitely come.

After all, it's the person I like.

What is it about him that I like?

Oh yes, I remember it was... that expression he had when he rescued those two people that day.

Weird... He was wearing a helmet... but he knew what the uncle's expression was...

Lin held the two men tightly, as if to say "I caught up."

He kept his head down and cried.

"Uncle...please...don't...cry...anymore..."

The crystal clear ice enveloped the entire orphanage.

The snow was falling heavily, and the world was covered in white, covering everything under ice and snow, making it impossible to tell whether it was the past or the future.

No birdsong can be heard.

The snow fell on the windowsill.

Dissolved without a trace.

Chapter 8 Ice, Birds, and Death

"Anna."

The moment Lin saw the beret, something flashed through his mind, and his eyes were fixed on the giant ice block that occupied half of the main hall.

At the bottom of the ice, some red ice crystals slowly and desperately fell to his feet.

Anna is here.

He knew that Anna was here.

At this moment, an indescribable emotion surged into his heart.

"Anna..."

The Fifth Herrscher opened his eyes in the ice cocoon and looked towards Lin while whispering.

Lin also looked at her with feeling.

Those inhuman eyes reflected everything in front of them like a mirror.

This orphanage is like an ice palace.

This never-ending blanket of ice and snow covers the world.

……

"Detected a sharp increase in the Houkai energy reaction of the Fifth Herrscher! Start moving!"

Sigma shouted, "What is Hen's team doing? Why didn't they obey orders? It's too late... Have all the teams get closer to the Fifth Herrscher and prepare to attack him directly!"

"But, but Commander-in-Chief, according to the information Hen sent back," the monitor swallowed his saliva and said with a dodgy look, "someone has already...taken the lead in the attack."

Sigma asked in confusion: "Who?"

"MSA-079, Lin."

……

Lin's body wailed as it broke through layers of ice and flew backwards. All the information passed through his mind, but he found it difficult to concentrate on processing it.

Prometheus had turned off the negative measurements on his panel in advance so his face wasn't completely red, but the tearing pain that permeated every muscle was real feedback.

"Oh!"

He crashed into a building, and broken debris and snow fell on him.

"Gah!"

Two snow-white assault-level Honkai beasts attacked from the sky. Lin's consciousness moved and the floating cannon flew over from a distance. Before it arrived, it had already fired continuously and hit the Honkai beasts.

This also led to "people" flying along with the floating cannon.

Lin struggled to use the anti-gravity levitation device to leave the collapsed house. The terrifying figure came rushing towards him at high speed, wrapped in extremely cold air.

Lin was panting, and everything he could see was covered with a thick layer of double vision.
