Honkai, why do you only play high-end games?

Siegfried thought that "Otto" was begging for mercy out of fear, and he couldn't help laughing. His heart, which was burning with anger, felt quite refreshed.

(ノへ￣,)

The two words "Otto" made Lin Wei instantly understand the whole story.

What is this thing called?

Lin Wei sighed. This guy was obviously too hot-blooded at the moment and would not listen to any explanation. He had to change his approach.

"Huh? There's someone behind you!"

Lin Wei pretended to be surprised and looked behind Siegfried.

"Otto, your childish tricks..."

"Boom!"

Before Siegfried could finish his disdainful mocking words, he was suddenly struck from behind by a knife and knocked unconscious to the ground.

A moment before he lost consciousness, he vaguely saw a fox-eared girl in a witch costume gradually disappearing into thin air.

"Am I hallucinating?"

Lin Wei, who had taken back Yaezakura, looked at Siegfried who had fallen to the ground, shook his head and sighed.

"I told you there was someone behind me, why didn't you believe me?"

Chapter 23: Skyfire, Unsheathed

"It seems I can't leave you for too long."

Yae Sakura glanced at Lin Wei's arm as she returned to his body. A few shallow lines of corrosion slowly appeared on his wrist. The moment the stigma was reactivated, it melted away as quickly as snow under the summer sun. She felt a little worried.

"It seems like a year is too short a time. With all the major events that are coming one after another, there won't even be enough time to complete a 'year'. Lin Weijun, can you handle it?"

"Don't worry about me, Sakura. Can it be harder than it was a year ago? I've already made it through such a difficult level. Now I have you and Ling protecting me, so what else do I have to be afraid of? It's just a little bit of Honkai erosion. If it happened to me last year, I would have died instantly. Now I've improved a lot~"

Lin Wei smiled and comforted Yae Sakura, then glanced at Siegfried lying on the ground and said softly,

"As for the future, aren't there these tall guys to take care of it? I have nothing to fear."

"...You're not angry at all about what happened just now?"

She couldn't control the future, so Yae Sakura chose to change the subject.

She knew Lin Wei was a good person, but she didn't think he had a good temper.

"I'm angry! Who wouldn't be angry? I worked so hard to clean this place!"

When Lin Wei heard Yaezakura say this, he couldn't hold it back any longer.

"And as soon as they meet you, they act like they're ready to fight you to the death. Who wouldn't be furious?"

Even though Lin Wei had realized from the few brief words just now that she had been inexplicably blamed for Otto, she did sympathize with Siegfried, whose family had been destroyed by him.

But the same thing goes, understanding is understanding, acceptance is acceptance.

Normal people will still have the emotions they should have, and Lin Wei will never suppress his emotions unless he has to.

For example, during the first three months after crossing over, I forced myself to remain calm and live a normal life in the face of approaching death...

Then he released it all at once in front of Fu Hua.

Except for that time, Lin Wei has never endured it.

"But now, it's him, not me, lying on the ground at the mercy of others."

He stretched out his hand and threw out more than ten chains, which tied up the unconscious Siegfried tightly from the neck down, and said expressionlessly,

"He's a classic example of the opposite – if you let your emotions take over your rationality, you'll end up like him, with immense power, yet vulnerable to attack due to your own stupidity and recklessness."

It's not worth getting angry with an idiot.

As he spoke, Siegfried gradually woke up, shook his still heavy and dazed head, looked down at the densely packed black chains on his body, and tried to break free, but to no avail. Then he looked up and glared fiercely at the calm Lin Wei.

"What are you planning to do?"

After being hit by a club, Siegfried's passion subsided, his IQ regained its upper hand, and he became less impulsive, but he still did not intend to bow to "Otto".

"Whatever you plan to do, I'm going to stop you!"

"Really?"

Lin Wei reached out and scratched his ears, as if there was something dirty inside, and said contemptuously,

"Just because you look like a dead dog right now?"

"you!"

Siegfried was immediately furious, then took two deep breaths and sneered,

"You think you can irritate me just by cursing?"

"Looks like we can still chat normally?"

Lin Wei pointed to the open door.

"Tell me, what does it mean?"

Lin Wei had expected that Anti-Entropy would send Siegfried to contact him.

After all, when he had clearly demonstrated abilities similar to "Yu Duchen" and when there was no trust between them, Siegfried, who possessed considerable martial arts skills, was almost the only choice.

But the way Siegfried came to visit was far beyond Lin Wei's expectations and was too hostile.

From a rational point of view, there are two possibilities behind this unexpected situation:

Either Siegfried himself had PTSD and was unlucky enough to run into trouble; or Anti-Entropy as a whole decided to become his enemy and sent out Siegfried, the only force in Anti-Entropy that he could not restrain.

Although the possibility is very small, it does exist. After all, although he has caused quite a stir in ME Club, he has always been restrained and has never shown his strength in a head-on fight. Therefore, it is possible that a misjudgment will occur.

Lin Wei needs to clearly distinguish which possibility is the truth of the matter, which will determine whether his next action will be radical or calm.

"Did the two doctors of Anti-Entropy ask you to declare war?"

To be fair, Lin Wei does not want to be an enemy of anti-entropy, otherwise he will really become a "troublemaker".

Even if we put aside the so-called "original plot", if I really act recklessly, I will most likely be on Kevin's kill list, and it will be ranked very high.

If this is the case, then even gods cannot save us.

So far, Lin Wei feels that her relationship with Kevin is pretty good, so there is no need to make herself unhappy.

"Declare war? What a joke! Haven't you been pressing us all along?"

Siegfried didn't want to let "Otto" laugh at him, so he suppressed his anger and sneered,

"You're still pretending even at this point, Otto. You're just as ridiculous as ever!"

Lin Wei narrowed her eyes and looked at Siegfried, trying to determine whether his words were true or if he was deliberately misleading her.

After thinking about it, I stopped dwelling on this question and asked the next one directly.

"I'm very curious. Tesla and Einstein are fine, after all, I've had contact with them before. But you're clearly meeting me for the first time, and you're already shouting about war and killing me before we've even met. And you keep calling me 'Otto'. It's totally incomprehensible..."

Lin Wei walked up to Siegfried and looked down at him.

"You say I'm acting, but I actually think your acting is amazing, Mr. Siegfried. Tell me, do you harbor a deep hostility towards me, or did you receive the order from those two doctors to kill me?"

Lin Wei squatted down and threatened.

"It's best not to make me misjudge. Otherwise, no matter how reluctant I am, I will have to retaliate. After all, I have zero tolerance for threats."

"……what on earth do you want?"

Siegfried believed from the beginning that this was Otto's conspiracy. He wanted to find out "Otto's" intentions and at least prevent the two doctors from falling into the trap.

"..."

This conversation was very inconsistent, with both sides talking at cross purposes. It was obvious that there was a huge deviation in their understanding and positions, so Lin Wei took a step back.

"Then first of all, why do you think I'm 'Otto'?"

Lin Wei thought this was a key piece of information. He didn't think that after Fu Hua's matchmaking, the two doctors would still believe that he was Otto.

"Oh, wantonly playing with other people's memories, despising their dignity, trampling on their souls... Otto, how long are you going to continue this?"

Siegfried's beautiful blue eyes were now bloodshot and red, ready to devour anyone.

(ノへ￣,)

Case solved.

His own action of erasing Cocolia had triggered this guy's PTSD - after all, Siegfried had seen how badly Theresa was tortured by Otto.

Lin Wei looked at Siegfried strangely, hesitated for a moment, and asked,

"What did you and Theresa go through back then?"

If I remember correctly, this guy had been with Theresa for several years before defecting, but why did Theresa still know nothing about what happened back then?

Could this guy be the kind of person who would keep it from Theresa?

I'm afraid it's not: This guy told Theresa the truth about the matter, maybe even more than once, but afterwards Theresa was always wiped clean by Otto's memory.

Then Siegfried refused to believe it and said it again. Then Theresa was washed once more...

Tsk tsk tsk, no wonder Theresa looks silly and not very smart now.

After all, it has been five or six years, and the towels have been washed so many times that they might have become rags.

Hearing Lin Wei mention Theresa, Siegfried couldn't help but explode again, struggling to break the chains that bound him.

"Okay, shut up! Give me the communicator, I'll find them and ask them myself."

Lin Wei was helpless, thinking it was his bad luck that he happened to step on Siegfried's minefield.

When I left ME Club, I didn't take the Anti-Entropy communicator and contact information with me - after all, I had the Key of Corrosion, and I did so to convey my goodwill to the other party.

After all, if Anti-Entropy is interested in cooperating, they will naturally contact me...

"Don't even think about it!"

...and finally this kind of stuff came.

Well, we can’t communicate anymore. You can’t talk to a mentally ill person.

No, we have to change the approach, otherwise Kaslana's good tradition of being stubborn will be passed down from generation to generation, and today's conversation will basically be over.

"Will Otto use the Holy Judgment of Heavenly Fire?"

Lin Wei thought for a moment, then lowered his head and asked Siegfried who was lying on the ground.

"What do you want to do?"

Siegfried was stunned. What did this have to do with the Holy Judge of Heavenly Fire? Wait, what was he going to do?

Lin Wei stretched out his hand and moved it slightly in the air, and the chains on Siegfried's body began to move rapidly as if they had life. In just a moment, his waist and the two pistols hanging there were revealed.

"what you up to!"

Siegfried felt uneasy and began to twist his body desperately, but he could not stop Lin Wei from reaching out and taking away his personal weapon.

The moment the Holy Judgment of Heavenly Fire was taken away, Siegfried was filled with grief and indignation. Was his last hope going to be completely taken away by Otto?

Unfortunately, he is now a prisoner and his body is extremely weak. He can only watch the humiliation and is unable to resist at all.

Lin Wei played with the two pistols in his hands, which were like dead objects, and felt their non-violent non-cooperation. Apart from using them as bricks to hit people, he could not exert any other power from them.

"Oh, you're quite stubborn."

Lin Wei sneered,

"Next time I see Kevin, I'll tell him that you failed to protect his descendants."

Siegfried, who was feeling depressed, was moved when he heard this. The name "Kevin" was extremely familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere.

The Holy Judge of Heavenly Fire seemed to come alive all of a sudden, and the luster of the gun body was no longer dim, but it was like flowing life, as if it was excited by this long-lost name.

"You know the truth and the lies clearly. Holy Judge of Heavenly Fire, you don't want to be torn into scrap metal by your master the moment you meet him, do you?"

Lin Wei whispered like a devil, and he knew that the Holy Judge of Heavenly Fire could understand.

After all, the keys of God are intelligent. Look at the Seven Thunders of Purification that made Raven bleed.

Another example is the Oath of Judas, who would search for lost children on his own.
