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

(╯‵ ′)╯︵┻━┻

Anna didn't say anything, just stared at him intently, her hand clenching and unclenching on the gun handle, with a look of struggle on her face.

She didn't want to believe that the person in front of her was the First Ruler, but the reality before her told her that she had to believe it.

For a moment, she didn't know what to do.

“If I were Walter, would I be so bored as to play games with you here? Am I really free?”

Lin Wei said angrily, if it weren't for the need to maintain the situation of dividing the sea, he would have wanted to poke the Black Abyss White Flower in front of Anna to open her eyes.

"Let's go, I can't hold out much longer."

Anna was stunned for a moment and accepted this reason - or rather, she didn't actually believe what Lin Wei said at the moment, but she just wanted a reason to convince herself.

Lin Wei once said that she should never deceive herself; but at this moment, she found that she couldn't help but deceive herself...

The vibrations all around became more and more obvious, and the rock formations above even began to crack, showing more and more signs of collapse.

Anna hesitated for a while, then gritted her teeth and followed Lin Wei.

"Wait a moment……"

Lin Wei stopped Anna and nodded at the unconscious girl beside her.

"Please take her with you. I have no strength left. After all, can you still carry another person with such a big thing on your back?"

Anna was furious. Who is this person?

Just now, his focus had been on the matter of "The First Herrscher". Now that he had calmed down a little, he looked at Lin Wei intently.

I noticed that his face was extremely pale, with sweat on his forehead. He was holding the ball in one hand and leaning on a black hiking stick in the other, both of which were slightly shaky. Even his steps seemed a little unsteady.

The Herrscher... shouldn't be so weak, right?

Ana thought to herself, at this moment she somewhat believed that Lin Wei was not Walter.

"who are you?"

She asked unwillingly.

"Lin Wei, I have no other identity. If I were the First Herrscher and wanted to deceive you, I wouldn't be exposing myself in this way now."

Lin Wei said frankly,

"And if a Herrscher wants to hurt you, there's no need for him to go to such great lengths, right?"

Although the words were a bit rude, Anna did not react at all. She just looked into his eyes, which did not seem fake, for a while, and then suddenly sighed, her expression becoming a little sad.

He bent down and picked up the limp girl, stepped onto the stone steps, and walked towards the path ahead opened by Lin Wei.

"I don't care who you are, you must give me an explanation!"

Anna threatened viciously without even turning her head.

Lin Wei shook his head and laughed, sighed, and slowly followed with the help of his cane.

The sea water that had separated behind him gradually closed together after Lin Wei passed by, flooding the stone steps, and continued to separate the road ahead farther ahead.

……

Ten minutes after Lin Weianna and the others left, there was a sudden loud noise at the spot, and a huge shield machine came straight and fast from above, roaring and digging deeper into the ground.

It collapsed everything, causing seawater to flood back and submerge everything here, burying everything under the deep sea.

It's as if nothing had ever existed.

Chapter 64: Sunrise

The sky was slightly bright.

This side of the earth is still in the darkness of the night, with only a bright ray of morning light at the end of the eastern horizon, with a vibrant golden color full of vitality - only those planes still waiting to land and the passengers on them can see this beautiful scenery.

However, most of them were sleeping at this moment due to exhaustion from the long journey.

At this moment, a little girl was leaning on the porthole, admiring the beautiful scenery with an amazed look on her face, when suddenly her eyes were attracted by another bright color.

He was stunned when he saw it, rubbed his eyes, and then looked again quickly, fearing that what he saw was an illusion.

"Mom, Mom! Wake up! Wake up!"

The little girl opened her mouth wide, turned around and shook her mother who was sleeping soundly, pointed her little hand out the window, and danced excitedly.

"The sea is parting! How magical! Look, mommy!"

"Baby? What's wrong?"

The mother, who was awakened, followed her daughter's finger with sleepy eyes, looking carefully and seriously. The more she looked, the more alert she became. Then she said with a puzzled look on her face,

"Nothing at all? Just some waves."

Then, somewhat helplessly, I patted the child's head, thinking that the world through a child's eyes was truly magical, and closed my eyes again. There was still some time before landing, so I could still catch up on some sleep.

The little girl turned around and looked out the window again. The waves on the sea were rising and falling, sparkling in the morning light.

"Huh? It's really gone... Did I see it wrong?"

The little girl was very disappointed. She leaned on the porthole unwillingly, staring wide-eyed and searching carefully, but in the end she found nothing.

………………

"I'm so exhausted..."

After reaching the shore, Lin Wei put away the Key of God, then sat down on a relatively flat reef in a very ungraceful manner, looking up at the roaring plane in a daze.

The rocks were damp and cold in the morning, accompanied by the humid sea breeze, which was actually not very comfortable, but he didn't care about that at this time, as he really had no strength left.

He could even vaguely feel Pandora protesting to him - "Are you going to die?"

"Drip drip..."

After taking a few breaths, he lowered his head and saw Anna carrying a heavy Honkai energy core on her back and holding an unconscious girl in her arms. Her communicator was beeping, but she ignored it and just stood not far away, looking at him with a complicated expression.

"Hurry up and answer it, otherwise your companions will worry."

Lin Wei smiled. The base had been destroyed. If Anna lost contact at this time, they would probably go crazy.

Anna looked into his peaceful eyes, freed one hand and turned on the communicator.

"Captain, I'm Anna... Yeah, everything's fine... Sorry to have caused you worry... I'll report the details later... Where is it?"

Anna looked up at Lin Wei, hesitated for a moment, gritted her teeth and said,

"The location has been shared with you. We'll meet up later."

After saying that, she turned off the communicator and continued to look at Lin Wei silently. She was waiting for him to speak first.

"Put it down. Aren't you tired? Look at your feet buried in the sand."

Lin Wei smiled and pointed at her feet which were deeply sunk into the sand by the heavy burden on her body, and said jokingly,

"Your companions are coming to pick you up. It wouldn't be nice for them to see you in such a state."

"Will you come with me?"

Since Lin Wei took the initiative to speak, Anna also took over his words and said,

"Since you're not the First Herrscher, not the leader of Anti-Entropy, then follow me back to your destiny. I'll recommend you to headquarters. With your abilities, your strength, your wisdom, your..."

Anna paused, then continued,

"You need a bigger stage. Destiny and humanity also need your strength..."

She did not put down any person or thing on her body. One was of great importance and had to be carried with her; the other was weak and could not stand the coldness of the ground.

"Anna, you are really too naive, and your thoughts are too easy to guess. This kind of conversation has already happened once, and now..."

Lin Wei raised her hand to interrupt her, sighing helplessly.

"Do you really need to use this method to make me prove that I am myself and not someone else?"

"..."

Anna remained silent, feeling somewhat embarrassed that her confused thoughts were easily exposed.

She had always known that Lin Wei had a secret, and she also wanted to know his secret, and was even happier that he was willing to reveal his secret to her.

But she didn't expect that what this "secret" represented would make her so helpless.

Her mind told her that even if the man in front of her was not the First Ruler, she must have a relationship with him. She should take him down while he was weak and interrogate him harshly; but her emotions were resisting such reasoning.

So she chose a compromise - not to hurt him, but also to ask clearly.

"I'm waiting for you to give me an explanation!"

She didn't want to be deceived by a stranger using a false identity all the way.

Especially, this person is Lin Wei, which makes her even more unacceptable.

"Anna, is the road easy to walk on? This is my explanation."

Lin Wei didn't answer, but picked up the trekking pole, used it as a pillow and leaned against the raised reef, pointed at the sparkling sea behind her, and said in a somewhat lazy tone,

"When I first met you, I could have left you behind, not walked this path with you, not taken you to find that base, but I didn't. I could have kept it a secret from you, hiding in a safe place and letting you fight for your life alone, but I didn't. I could have left alone and left you there to die, but I didn't."

Lin Wei's eyes were fixed on Anna, without dodging or avoiding.

"That's my explanation."

When Anna thought of this short, smooth yet tortuous experience, her heart softened and a feeling of grievance suddenly came to her mind.

Her intuition was right. Once she knew Lin Wei's secret, there was no going back to the past.

"Come back with me, okay?"

Anna's tone was pleading. She didn't want to be separated from him. The mark of this journey was too heavy for her to let go.

"Return to fate? Forget it. Even you will have doubts about me, let alone others."

Lin Wei sneered, resting his head on his stick, looking up at the dim light of the sky, and said meaningfully,

"I'm a man, I can resist the erosion of the Honkai, and I have some powers of unknown origin... Haha, maybe I'll be stuffed into those laboratories of Tianming and studied. I'm a timid person, afraid of trouble, and even more afraid of death, so forget it."

He waved his hand as he spoke.

Anna wanted to say something but stopped herself, swallowing it back, feeling resentful in her heart.

She thought of the human experiments that she could not accept, the Tower of Babylon that had experienced its second collapse, the dark side of destiny, and the cruel treatment that Lin Wei might encounter in the future. Her heart was filled with more pain. Finally, she sighed and looked at Lin Wei with resentment.

She knew she really shouldn't keep him anymore.

She also understood why he had avoided the question when she asked him in the underground whether he would become an enemy of destiny:

Unless Lin Wei is willing to surrender and allow himself to be dealt with, it will be difficult for him not to become an enemy.

Anna felt even more miserable because she found herself the only one caught in the middle, caught in a dilemma and knowing that everything she did would be wrong.

How unfair!

"I'm sorry, Anna, I made things difficult for you."

Lin Wei also knew the other party's difficulties, so he could only sigh and took out the half pendant from his pocket for the third time.

"If you want to take this thing back, then take it."

Anna was stunned for a moment, then looked at Lin Wei with tears in her eyes, her teeth chattering, and the grievances in her heart were about to burst out.

What do you mean? Do you think I'm unlucky?

"If you don't say anything, then I'll just keep accepting it, okay?"

Lin Wei laughed and put the pendant back into her arms.

"You, you're good in every way except that you tend to get stuck in a rut... What's bothering you? It's as if I'm irreconcilable with your destiny."

Anna was startled, and the moisture in her eyes gathered into two big tears that fell with a "click".

"What do you mean?"

The tone was a little aggrieved. You still want to teach me a lesson at this time?

Lin Weiteng turned over and stood up, but then his vision went dark, his legs went limp, and he sat back down.

He rested for a while holding his forehead, grinning and said,

"Let me ask you two questions. Who is your enemy? Am I an enemy of humanity?"
