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

Lin Wei, who was quick to stop the incident, had a frown on his forehead.

"Shh..."

Lin Wei signaled Anna to be quiet.

The girl who had reacted seemed to realize that she was a little impulsive. She blushed and lowered her head, and asked in a low voice,

"What did you find?"

Lin Wei shook her head and simply led Anna into the somewhat crowded garage. She found a place to sit comfortably and said casually, "Just wait a little and you'll know."

"You guy..."

Anna was so angry that she gritted her teeth. Who was she pretending to be mysterious for?

"Don't worry."

Lin Wei looked at Anna's somewhat angry face and explained with a smile,

"I also know a little about Coral Island. When I first arrived, the taxi driver was very enthusiastic and told me a lot about the place. One million and eight hundred thousand permanent residents, plus an equally large number of immigrants, are all crammed into this small island city. It's the advanced technology and municipal planning here that keep everything so well-organized."

Anna tilted her head. Although she didn't understand why Lin Wei wanted to digress so much, she was polite and didn't interrupt.

"But it's also true that no matter how advanced the planning is, such cities are very crowded. Look at where we are now. A lift garage like this is probably standard equipment on this coral island."

Lin Wei raised his hand and pointed in a circle above his head. Anna also looked in the direction of his finger. It was indeed very crowded here. The vehicles were stacked up like a honeycomb, separated by grid-like grilles.

"If it can be stacked upwards, it can also be stored downwards. There are also several floors of 'car elevators' underground. If you don't believe me, you can find a crack and take a look down... Oh, what a clever little ghost, hiding the entrance to his lair in a place like this. If he hadn't tracked it all the way here, even a god wouldn't be able to find the clue!"

Even so, they placed the connection point with the "cargo" in another place far away, which was really cautious.

Lin Wei couldn't help but grit his teeth. These ground rats were really good at hiding. No wonder Otto couldn't find their whereabouts.

If I hadn't used the cheat device and seen the correct answer in advance from the hijacked surveillance, I would probably have been confused for a while.

It has to be said that when it comes to digging holes and hiding, snakes are definitely the most professional in the world.

Not to mention the various bases they had buried deep underground. Unless they voluntarily exposed them, the various Destinies would never be able to find them until their death.

These guys even went to England just to plot against Rita and dig a tunnel for her.

(ノへ￣,)

Lin Wei said she couldn't help Sister Li.

What’s the point?

In fact, World Snakes are not only professional at digging holes, they are also professional at breaking through holes dug by others.

Don't believe it? Look at the underground base that Tianming built in North Africa to protect the Second God Key. The World Serpent attacked it instantly without giving Tianming any time to react.

It's like showing off one's skills in front of an expert.

……

Anna seemed to understand what he said, but she couldn't help muttering in her heart, "He said it seriously, but who knows if it's true or not."

At this moment, the sound of gears meshing and mechanical rotation was heard, which seemed even more harsh in the enclosed space at night.

In the corner of the sight, a car was shaking and slowly sinking, and then two black and red mechanical structures emerged from the "water". They stepped onto the ground at the same time without waiting for the platform under their feet to completely stop, and lined up to walk towards Lin Wei and the others.

Lin Wei suppressed Anna's agitation and calmly watched the constructs walk towards him with steady steps. The one in front continued to move forward as if no one was around, while the one behind stopped abruptly as if it had pressed the pause button.

"Oh no! Be careful and step back!"

Anna was shocked and immediately pulled Lin Wei behind her.

"No need... ahem, Anna, calm down."

The burden of activating the Divine Key on my own, without the power of the stigmata, was indeed quite heavy. Lin Wei was about to take a breath when Anna's sudden pull nearly choked him. He didn't care about that and quickly grabbed Anna, not even bothering to call her by her name.

"what have you done?"

Anna also realized at this time that the construct did not attack her and did not make any movements, but just stood there motionless. She realized that Lin Wei must have done something again. She couldn't help but relax and looked at Lin Wei, waiting for his explanation.

"Look over there."

Lin Wei raised his hand and pointed casually, then continued to pat his chest and clear his throat. He really didn't want to talk more because his throat was itchy and uncomfortable.

"I'm sorry, I was too impulsive, are you okay?"

Anna felt a little embarrassed when she saw Lin Wei's look, but she didn't care about anything else. She just rushed over to support Lin Wei and patted his back gently with one hand.

"I feel better."

Lin Wei raised his cane and shook it gently. The construct moved as if it had received an order, but it turned around and walked in the direction it came from. At the place they had just left, another car had floated up, as if it was just an ordinary parking space.

"I hijacked it temporarily and wanted to try to get it to help us open the door."

Lin Wei explained. Anna nodded in sudden realization, but in her heart she was desperately trying to recall when he had done this and why she hadn't noticed it at all.

As he spoke, the controlled construct had returned to the vehicle and connected its identification information to it, but there was no response.

He walked to the front of the car, removed the black mask on his face, revealed the identification code hidden on his face, aimed it at the dashcam, and this time he got a successful response -

"Verification failed, return permissions are frozen..."

Lin Wei frowned, raised his hand to release Pandora's control over it, and let it return to its position.

Anna watched the construct disappear into the distance as if nothing had happened, then turned around and asked Lin Wei with some concern,

"What should we do? Have we been discovered?"

Lin Wei shook her head.

"No. If it had been discovered, it should have attacked us the moment I released control. Even if it couldn't recognize our presence, the mice hiding in this tortoise shell could have easily intervened manually—but they didn't."

Are these guys really cautious? They don’t even allow their own people to return within a short period of time after they leave?

Is this a defensive measure to prevent being held hostage?

Lin Wei, who also prides himself on being a man of the Way, could only express his admiration...

"That's fine."

Anna breathed a sigh of relief, then hesitated again.

"But, in this case, we still can't get in, right?"

Anna had only been trained to fight against Honkai and had no idea how to deal with the current situation. At this moment, she felt particularly regretful that she had not thought of asking Miss Rita Rossweisse for some techniques on infiltration and cracking.

Anna bit her lip and glanced at Lin Wei secretly, thinking that if this was the case, she could help a little now.

Anna especially hated herself for feeling so helpless now.

"Don't worry, I still need a way. Have you forgotten that I'm a hacker? I'm a professional at this kind of thing."

Lin Wei noticed Anna's quick gaze and patted the back of her hand to comfort her. Then he walked straight to the side of the car and bent slightly.

Anna pretended to wait for a few minutes, during which time her heartbeat became faster and faster, and her hands unconsciously moved closer and closer to the weapon, fearing that Lin Wei would suddenly encounter some danger.

"Verification passed..."

An emotionless AI female voice suddenly sounded, and a "ding ding" unlocking sound was heard from inside the car.

Lin Wei stood up, turned around with an expression of "living up to the trust" on his face, and waved to Anna to follow quickly.

Anna breathed a sigh of relief and quickly moved closer, feeling even more impressed by Lin Wei's magic in her heart.

Before she could even find her footing in the parking space, the platform beneath her feet began to vibrate slightly. Lin Wei quickly opened the car door, grabbed Anna with one hand, and shoved her into the back seat with her. Then, she watched as the car began to steadily sink, the door, which she hadn't even had time to close, was torn apart by the rising ground!

"Ah, thank you..."

Anna thanked him quietly, then blushed and stepped back a little. The two of them were a little too close at this moment. In the narrow car body, this ambiguous atmosphere made her feel a little uncomfortable and at a loss.

Although she knew rationally that with her Valkyrie's physical fitness, the incident just now would not pose any threat to her at all, and she only needed to jump lightly onto the roof to avoid being scratched;

But she was still grateful to Lin Wei, as if he had really saved her just now.

Lin Wei didn't think too much about it; it was just a subconscious action. Looking out the window, he watched his car sink. A moment later, an identical car—except for the doors—rose up on another platform.

There are quite a few tricks, Lin Wei sneered.

"Well, there's something I've been thinking about for a long time and I want to discuss it with you."

Anna still didn't know Lin Wei's name, but she seemed unaware of it and just said hesitantly,

"Your hacking skills are so impressive. After this is over, would you like to join my organization? Her name is Tianming. She's very powerful and fights bravely for the fate of humanity..."

Anna wanted to give an impassioned speech, but then she thought of everything she had seen since leaving the headquarters. She felt a sense of emptiness in her heart. Then she gathered her thoughts, shook off those inappropriate thoughts, and said to Lin Wei seriously but with some hope,

"I will guarantee you in the name of the Shaniyat family. You will definitely show your strengths in Tianming!"

Lin Wei was a little stunned. Why could he never keep up with this girl's train of thought?

Have I become stupid?

Chapter 45: Titan

Actually, it couldn't be said that Lin Wei was stunned. It was just that Anna's sudden jump in thinking made him unable to keep up for a while, and it took him a second or two to digest it.

To be honest, adding destiny and hiding it can provide a new way of solving the problem that has not been thought of before, but it will face many problems.

For example, Tianming's internal review seems very Schrödinger's. For example, Walter is hiding comfortably in the Far East branch, but that place itself is special; and the anti-entropy that permeates the sieve has had very little impact on Tianming's work so far.

It's not that easy.

What if the World Serpent interferes again?

It's not impossible. Lin Wei never hesitates to assume the worst of others.

What's more, it's a bit too despicable to take advantage of a young girl's kindness and goodwill, let her overdraw her credit to guarantee yourself, take the benefits for yourself, and then ask her to bear all the costs when problems arise.

Lin Wei was extremely resistant to this.

"Let's talk about it later. It's almost time."

The journey to the "car elevator" was not long. Lin Wei estimated the time and evaded the topic.

"Although it was a bit hasty, the car door that just fell can at least be considered a mark. If your companions don't delay too much along the way, they can find its location and follow it down here."

Lin Wei pointed downwards. Although Anna was a little annoyed by his perfunctory attitude, she looked back at the empty mess at the car door and had to admit that now was not the time to talk about this.

"Hide it carefully."

Anna held the gun handle in one hand and moved to the big hole left after the car door was torn off, ready to rush out and launch a critical attack at any time, also to divert possible firepower and avoid damage to the fragile car body.

The mechanical roar stopped, and the descending elevator platform came to a standstill after a slight tremor. We had arrived.

Pitch-black silence.

Anna's heartbeat quickened, and her temperament gradually changed from a quiet girl to an agile cheetah, but she did not act rashly.

"Well, now is the time to send the message to your companions."

Lin Wei reached to the front seat of the car and pressed his cane against the keyhole, completely destroying the warning device inside. He turned around and added to Anna,

"If we release the shield, we could be discovered at any time, so remember to hurry."

Hearing Lin Wei's serious words, Anna nodded seriously. After waiting for a few seconds, she heard two beeps in her ears. Anna looked down at the communicator and saw that the signal had been connected.

Then, four or five messages came at the same time. Anna took a quick look and found that they were all from the captain.

In the first message, Captain Jier said that she had received it. She did not blame her for acting on her own, but said that she would come to support as soon as possible and asked Anna to be careful.

The second message, from Captain Jier, stated that the incident involved survivors of the Honkai Impact, and that they had contacted other nearby teams and the Oceania branch, asking them to investigate their own areas as well and, if necessary, to take joint action. She also reminded Anna to be careful.

The third message asked Anna to report the current situation.

The fourth message also asked Anna to report the current situation and asked why she didn't reply to the message.

The fifth message was a bit harsh, requiring Anna to immediately respond to the current mission progress and safety status.

……

Anna was slightly stunned when she saw one message after another full of concern. Thinking about what she had experienced in recent times, her mood was complicated and indescribable for a while.

He couldn't help but look up at Lin Wei, shook his lips slightly, then lowered his head again, put his hand behind his ear, and said in a low voice,

"Captain, this is Anna Shaniat, reporting on the mission..."

Lin Wei's observation ability was also quite sharp. He also noticed Anna's abnormality for a moment. He couldn't help but stare at Anna who was seriously reporting her situation in concise words. After watching for a long time, he called out in his heart,

"Sakura, are you there?"

“…Yes, I am.”
