The voice was cold, neither sad nor happy, but for some reason, it lacked the gentleness of the past.

What's going on? Lin Wei was a little surprised by Yaezakura's subtle changes, but time was limited and it was not the time to ask such questions. He looked at Anna and asked softly,

"Ying, you saw what she looked like just now, didn't you? Does she look familiar to you?"

"The so-called 'good' and 'beautiful' are naturally similar. It's no surprise that Mr. Lin Wei finds them familiar. But why did you suddenly think of asking me?"

The voice was as cool and pleasant as ever, and as calm as usual.

Why is he carrying a gun and a stick? Lin Wei felt strange.

"It's not what you said, Sakura, but seeing her reminded me of someone I met in the past."

"...Mr. Lin Wei has quite a rich experience, doesn't he?"

Yaezakura felt a little angry and laughed.

Her world is very small, and she is not used to sharing her little world with others.

Anna's sudden appearance made her feel a sense of crisis as if her territory was being invaded, but she was quite unconfident in herself and just wanted to remain silent, telling herself that she just had to guard her own corner.

Her ostrich mentality was broken by Lin Wei herself, which made her feel a little aggrieved and unhappy.

What do you mean? Are you showing off to me?

"Rich? Not really. Pretty shallow."

Lin Wei also noticed that Yaezakura's mood was subtly wrong. Maybe something had irritated her. So he decided not to keep her in suspense and went straight to the point.

"The way she looked just now reminded me a little of you, Sakura."

"……What's the meaning?"

How could this have anything to do with me? Following Lin Wei's gaze, Yae Sakura scrutinized Anna from head to toe, not realizing she looked anything like herself.

"I am ugly, just a country girl. How can I compare with Miss Shaniat?"

Yaezakura became even more angry. Was he trying to make fun of me?

"Ying, you misunderstood. It's certainly not about appearance. Moreover, if someone as beautiful as Ying, who captivates everyone at first sight, is considered ugly, then the standard of beauty is too high. Ying, it's wrong to be too modest. Promise me that you'll leave a way out for other girls."

Although he didn't know why Yaesakura was unhappy, Lin Wei knew that it was right to coax her at this moment.

After stroking the hair, Lin Wei returned to the topic and said with some sighs,

"It's your temperament, a reflection of your inner world. Ying, in that moment just now, I saw a fragile girl whose faith was somewhat crumbling, pretending to be strong. It reminded me of the first time I saw you, Ying... Of course, there are only some similarities, but ultimately they are different, just like an exquisite jade piece with hidden cracks. Beautiful on the outside, seemingly strong, but fragile on the inside."

"… Then, what about me?"

After a brief silence, Yaezakura asked softly. She didn't like being compared to others, but since she was being compared to others, she had to get to the bottom of it.

"The beauty and strength of Miss Yaesakura's soul are the only ones I have ever seen. Such perseverance and unwavering determination. I felt pity when I first saw her, and was overwhelmed when I saw her again."

Lin Wei smiled sincerely.

"It is my great honor to be able to meet and travel with Ying. I think it is even a great honor for me."

After a moment of silence, Yaezakura sighed softly.

"...Lin Weijun is too self-deprecating."

The tone was still cold, but also contained a hint of joy.

"So what are Lin Weijun's plans for this young lady?"

Yaesakura was in a much better mood and became more generous. After reading Lin Wei's memories, she knew that the girl's ending was not good, so she felt sorry for her.

"I don't know, let's wait and see."

Lin Wei said with a deep look in his eyes and a gentle and calm tone,

"At least, you and I both know that the Herrscher's power can be controlled now, right? The future is destined to change anyway, so why not give it a push and make it even more powerful?"

But thinking about the Herrscher of Rock who was most likely to disappear, he couldn't help but feel a headache. This was too uncontrollable.

This is likely to lose the Herrscher account of the original logon user. If it is the same as the previous civilization, and the new owner rubs the black hole with his hands and tears off a piece of the continent right from the start, then it will be a big disaster.

"Well, Lin Weijun will make the decision."

Yaezakura said softly, glanced at Anna who had finished her report, and then disconnected and left.

"Huh, I finally managed to fool him..."

Lin Wei wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "Luckily, I reacted quickly just now."

At the same time, I complained in my heart that it is really hard to guess what girls are thinking. You never know why a girl will suddenly get angry.

But fortunately, it's not that difficult to coax...

"Miss Anna, is it okay?"

Seeing Anna put her hand down from behind her ear, Lin Wei calmed down his lingering shock and asked,

"Well, everything went well, thank you for your help."

Anna felt a little embarrassed because she seemed to have wasted quite a bit of time.

Fortunately, everything was normal and Anna breathed a sigh of relief.

Because it went so smoothly, Anna even felt a little contemptuous. Aren’t the guards in this place too lax?

Suddenly, Anna's heart was filled with alarm. Her long-trained warrior nerves made her unable to think carefully. She reached out and grabbed Lin Wei and rushed out of the car. Lin Wei only had time to grab the cane in his hand.

"Zheng! Buzz—"

"boom!"

Just as he jumped out of the car door, a huge iron fist fell from the sky. The width of the iron ring was not even smaller than the car itself. With one punch, the car body was smashed into a miserable discus. The car body parts fell to the ground with a clang, and gasoline flowed out of the damaged car, soaking the ground.

A red light appeared overhead, a large, dim light that couldn't illuminate anything, but simply announced its presence;

At the same height on the other side of the car, there was another identical red light hanging high there, staring intently at this side, and then, a sound of mechanical rotation was heard.

"What is this? Get out of the way!"

Anna was horrified and pushed Lin Wei away, using the reaction force to roll backwards and avoid him.

In just a moment, the sound of machine gun fire came, like a flaming whip in the darkness, lashing fiercely towards the place where the two were previously!

"Crackling..."

The long whip fell to the ground, brick and stone debris flew everywhere, and the sparks fell on the gasoline flowing freely on the ground, causing it to explode with a loud bang. A heat wave suddenly rose, illuminating everything in an instant!

Anna landed lightly on the ground and first used the light of the flame to confirm that Lin Wei was safe and sound. Only then did she feel relieved and looked in the direction of the attack. Then she cried out in shock and anger:

"This is... a Titan mecha? Damn, this is anti-entropy!"

Lin Wei, having been forcefully pushed aside, looked up at the massive mechas towering over him. Unlike the dark blue paint schemes he'd seen at ME, both Titans were painted jet black. While the paint wasn't the only clue, the large, ring-shaped Ouroboros on the shoulder armor was.

"..."

Lin Wei looked at this scene speechlessly. The lazy behavior of saving money in the game would be so weird when it became a reality that Lin Wei was speechless.

He was imagining a picture in his mind at this moment:

Gray Snake stood in a huge warehouse filled with various blueprints, muttering to himself elegantly in his muffled voice.

"Dr. Tesla, thank you for your outstanding contribution to the great cause of the World Serpent..."

(ノへ ̄,)

It's really absurd.

"Be careful, get out of the way!"

The mecha in the distance seemed to be able to tell who was the biggest threat, and it poured firepower at Anna. Anna struggled desperately in the already small space, but was afraid of drawing the mecha's firepower to Lin Wei. She gritted her teeth and jumped over the surging flames, closing the distance with the mecha.

As Anna was dodging, she saw the mecha that was closer to Lin Wei raised its arm again. She couldn't help but scream and shouted a warning to Lin Wei, but it was too late for her to come to support.

This place was designed to be very sinister, without any lights, and it was completely dark and silent, making it easy for people to have a false impression of its size; but now, under the illumination of the fire, everything was clear—

This was simply a narrow corridor, with the left and right walls no more than ten meters apart. There was a ferocious Titan mecha guarding the front and back of the corridor, surrounding the raging flames of the miserable car like they were sitting around a bonfire, separating Lin Wei and Anna on either side of the flames. Anna watched from a distance as Lin Wei, who was also in danger, felt anxious but helpless.

Damn, if only I were stronger...

Thinking of Yulandel's effortless and freehand figure on the battlefield, Anna once again felt angry about her own weakness.

Lin Wei remained calm, and casually inserted the cane he had been holding into the joint of the Titan's foot. The ferocious mecha instantly lost its luster and wilted.

Anna was stunned by the sudden turn of events.

Lin Weishen calmly hid behind the mecha's thick legs, dodging stray bullets and the increasingly uncomfortable high temperature waves. He pointed his head at Anna's mecha and shouted to her,

"This mecha must be controlled by someone inside. My virus is ineffective against it. I can only control this one temporarily. The other one is in your hands. Hurry and make a quick decision!"

Of course, it was just a random excuse made up by Lin Wei.

It is outrageous but acceptable that a genius hacker can hack into a mecha; if he can also remotely control another mecha, that would be too outrageous and the vest would collapse.

Too much is as bad as too little, this is good enough.

Anna took a quick glance and confirmed that Lin Wei was safe. She immediately felt relieved and threw herself into the battle in front of her. All her fear and anger were poured into the huge mecha in front of her. She drew the blade from her waist and rushed forward like a cheetah pouncing on its prey!

Chapter 46: The Truth of Deception

The Crystal Reverse Blade, the standard blade of the Valkyrie Corps, is said to be able to completely freeze the enemy when unsheathed, but as for the promotional slogan, it's just for fun.

It is said that this weapon is quite popular and loved by the Valkyrie troops in tropical regions. After all, who wouldn't love a portable air conditioner?

But in Anna's hands, it seemed to really unleash the bragging words of those guys in the Holy 7308 Institute - it has the magical power to freeze the enemy.

This small underground space was like a cramped animal cage, not only leaving Anna with no way to retreat, but also making it difficult for the already huge mecha to move forward. He could only watch as a petite girl held a gleaming blade in both hands. The blade light brought with it a cold wind, splitting the flames and heat waves, and fiercely smashing the miniature machine gun that kept pouring out firepower.

"Clap!"

I don’t know if it was an illusion, but the moment Anna drew her blade, Lin Wei, who was watching the excitement, even felt that the heat in this cramped space, which was becoming more and more like an oven, suddenly dropped a lot.

Lin Wei was amazed at the small body but great strength. It turned out that every beautiful girl here could kill a crying monster with one punch.

Anna, who succeeded in her attack, continued to move forward. She passed by the side of the mecha in the gap and used the reaction force of the wall behind it to jump out again nimbly. This time, she cut off the leg joint on the other side of the mecha with a fierce blow, causing its huge and bulky body, which had been struggling to turn around, to suddenly tilt. Its clenched iron fist slammed into the ground in a mess, brick and stone debris flew everywhere, and the loud bang was enough to make people's eardrums burst.

Anna remained unmoved. A cold and eerie light leaped rapidly on the side of the mecha as if to vent her anger. In just an instant, all the limbs of the mecha were removed. Then came the final blow!

"Damn intruder!"

Only a large iron mecha body was left, and it suddenly emitted an electronic sound with strong indignation, cursing Anna who was fighting with it. This sudden change made Anna stunned, and the originally murderous attack also came to an abrupt end.

After all, although Anna had extensive experience in fighting against anti-entropy mechas, most of her experience was accumulated through simulation training. She subconsciously thought that she was facing the same cold enemies and never thought that there would be living people inside. This sudden change made her suddenly lose her composure.

Just a moment of distraction gave the opponent an opportunity to counterattack. The entire mecha body suddenly lit up with a dazzling red light, gathering a dangerous aura, and the electronic voice cursed loudly.

"go to hell!"

"not good!"

Anna was horrified. Once the Titan mecha's self-destruct program was activated, it could not be stopped!

At that moment, a slender black shadow suddenly pierced the air and plunged into the remains of the mecha, which was about to explode. Then, the red light, which had been increasingly dazzling, suddenly stagnated. The light flickered again and again, then suddenly went out. The dangerous aura dissipated without a trace, and a dead silence fell.

"Don't just stand there, I'll give this to you too!"

The turn came too fast and too suddenly, catching Anna off guard. While she was in a daze, she heard Lin Wei's shout from behind. Turning back, she found that the mecha originally controlled by Lin Wei had regained its vitality, and Lin Wei had already hidden far away in the corner, shouting towards her,

"Be quick this time. If it happens again, I won't be able to handle it. If this thing explodes here, we'll all be buried alive!"

Anna was ashamed and angry after hearing Lin Wei's words. She also realized that it was Lin Wei who helped her at the critical moment. She had promised to protect his safety, but it was Lin Wei who risked his life to save her at the critical moment.

How could a dignified A-rank Valkyrie like her feel about this?

What a dereliction of duty!

Anna, filled with shame and anger, turned back. The gentleman followed the same method and cut the mecha into eight pieces. Then, with hatred, he stabbed the scarlet eye with a sword. The cold blade completely strangled the entire center, paralyzing all the systems of the mecha.

"me……"

After successfully striking, Anna seemed to suddenly realize something. Her sharp cheetah temperament suddenly disappeared, and she jumped away hurriedly like a frightened little rabbit. Her eyes became a little panicked. She looked at the weapon discarded in the mecha's single eye, and then looked at Lin Wei who was walking towards her.

Anna was extremely confused at the moment, and she wanted to say something incoherently. She kept saying "I" for a long time, but couldn't say anything.

"Okay, it's okay. Ana, relax, you didn't do anything wrong."

Lin Wei knew only too well how painful it was to kill someone.

"They are unreasonable lunatics. If we allow them to self-destruct here, not only will we die here with them, but the chances of survival for those you and I want to save will be even slimmer."

"I'm fine now, please leave quickly... It's not safe to stay here for too long."
