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

"So, Sakura..."

Lin Wei called softly.

I really owe you...

Yaezakura smiled helplessly. Although she was somewhat dissatisfied with Lin Wei's open expression of concern for other girls, she could do nothing about it.

Just as he was about to respond, Lin Wei's next words stopped him in his tracks.

"So, Sakura... let's kill Otto!"

The voice was calm, composed and firm, without even a hint of joking in it.

No, wait a minute...

Weren't we just discussing how to save Anna? Why did the topic suddenly change to calls for fighting and killing?

This turn was quite big, and Yaesakura felt that her train of thought could not keep up, and she felt like her waist was hurt.

Also, who to kill?

Yaezakura turned her head somewhat stiffly and looked at Lin Wei, who was in the same consciousness space, trying to find a clue from his face.

But all I saw was seriousness, determination, and even a hint of anticipation and eagerness to try!

"..."

Yaezakura raised her hands to cover her face, with only one thought in her mind -

"It's over, Lin Wei has gone crazy too..."

Chapter 99: The whole world avenges Otto. How could I have such a dream?

After Lin Wei briefly described his plan in those simple yet powerful words, he didn't say anything else. He sat quietly in the back seat of the car, as if he was really resting with his eyes closed. Only the movement of his index finger tapping on his leg was always steady and regular.

Yaezakura knew that this was a sign that Lin Wei's brain was still thinking rapidly, and for a moment she was not sure whether she should interrupt him at this moment.

After a slight hesitation, she decided to remain silent - she believed that Lin Wei would tell her all his considerations, regardless of whether he had really made up his mind.

Time passed slowly, and the car finally stopped in front of the hotel where Lin Wei was staying.

After returning to the room without any incident, Lin Wei slowly pulled over a chair and sat down by the floor-to-ceiling window without saying a word. He took out the half pendant from his bosom and held it towards the sun in the sky, quietly admiring the shimmering light reflected by the slightly swaying gem, which was clear and bright.

"...Ying, do you think what I said before is incredible?"

Lin Wei, who had been admiring this beauty, suddenly spoke in a voice slightly higher than her own,

"Killing Otto is indeed unbelievable... If it were earlier, I wouldn't have even considered it. But now, I'm serious..."

His voice was calm and composed, as if he was just introducing tomorrow's menu, rather than a life-and-death struggle.

"Because he's in the way."

"So, to avoid trouble, I had no choice but to ask him to die."

"…What are you going to do?"

Yaezakura just glanced at the half pendant and stopped paying attention to it. She just hoped that Lin Wei's decision at this moment was indeed well thought out, and not because he suddenly went crazy due to some carelessness.

"It's very simple."

Hearing this question, Lin Wei smiled, and smiled very easily.

"Kill Otto, put the blame on the World Serpent, go to the hospital to treat Anna's injuries, and then leave..."

His smile was relaxed, his tone was relaxed, and the steps were so clear that it seemed as if he was just saying "When eating, you should first serve the rice, then use chopsticks to pick up the vegetables, and finally remember to wash the dishes after eating."

"...Lin Weijun, haven't you always been very self-restrained? You said you didn't want your existence to interfere too much with the future of this world."

Yae Sakura found that she could never keep up with Lin Wei's overly fast-paced thoughts. She sighed helplessly and decided to ask more clearly.

"Although Miss Anna's matter was very sudden, it shouldn't have caused you to make such a drastic change all of a sudden, right?"

If Otto is really killed, the future will completely move towards the unpredictable unknown from now on.

She knew that Lin Wei had always had a strong sense of responsibility.

If he had caused the world's future to become unpredictable, he would have blamed himself immensely. He would have stepped forward to fill the void he had created, and then attempt to chart a new path for the world in this chaotic future.

Just like what Lin Wei has always done, forbearing, restraining, and trying to keep herself away from the "real stage" of this world.

He has always been like this. Beneath his seemingly frivolous appearance, he hides an extremely passionate yet heavy soul.

She didn't want Lin Wei to bear too heavy a cross on her shoulders because of a momentary impulse and her overly strong sense of responsibility, just like the legend in the Far West.

"Lin Weijun, do you want to calm down for a moment?"

Yaezakura expressed her worry and concern cautiously.

"Uh, Sakura...why are you looking at me like that?"

Lin Wei came back to his senses and met her eyes full of worry. He was slightly stunned, then smiled and comforted her,

"Don't worry, I'm still very restrained... It's also my fault. I didn't explain myself clearly and caused you to misunderstand. I'm really sorry."

"It's ok."

Yaezakura shook her head slightly. Lin Wei's apologetic words made her feel a little relieved.

She believed that Lin Wei would give her a satisfactory answer.

"If Otto died suddenly, the consequences would be too serious, almost like the collapse of heaven and earth. I dare not cause such a disaster..."

Lin Wei smiled and said self-deprecatingly.

Not to mention the obvious cost of being completely hated by fate and hunted relentlessly by all the Valkyries from Yulandel down all over the world, and even Anna might very well hate him because of this;

Otto has kidnapped too many things from himself in the past five hundred years. The whole society will be in great chaos because of his sudden death, and this account will also be attributed to himself.

Theresa, whose grandfather was killed... let's not talk about her. Her threat is dispensable.

But the same cannot be said for the two Herrschers under her command!

Especially Kiana, who is now obsessed with becoming the strongest Valkyrie in the Destiny. How could she let go of such a good opportunity to show her talents and avenge the Bishop?!

Kiana Kaslana, the most loyal warrior of Destiny, is here!

Now that Kiana has done this, how can Mei Raiden, who has always followed in her footsteps, still escape?

And Fu Hua will also regard herself as an enemy because of this!

Because in Fu Hua's eyes at this moment, no matter how much of a bastard Otto was, he was the greatest guardian of mankind; and if she killed the guardian, she would be an accomplice of the collapse and her enemy.

Bronya could try to persuade them, but what good could she do alone...

Even the anti-entropy Walter would regard himself as a madman and a threat to humanity, and then defeat him "in the name of humanity."

Lin Wei thought, with Walter's personality, which has been characterized by his stubbornness and unwillingness to listen to advice since his debut, how could he listen to his explanation?

It was nothing more than a breakdown of negotiations on the spot, and then a fight started...

The Destiny Group, the Anti-Entropy Group, and the Saint Freya Group are united in an all-round hunt...

By that time, do I need to say more about how miserable my fate will be?

There won't even be a place to hide.

Even if it runs into the quantum ocean, it will probably be entangled!

"How could I have such a dream when the whole world united to avenge Otto?"

Lin Wei couldn't help but shudder just thinking about it.

"With a plot like this unfolding, I'm afraid that in the end, only the World Serpent guys will be laughing happily?"

Lin Wei, who didn't want to work for the World Snake, immediately rejected this doomed plot line without saying a word.

Don't even think about it!

(╯‵ ′)╯︵┻━┻

Putting away these somewhat divergent thoughts, Lin Wei couldn't help but feel a headache coming on. The reason was very simple -

Because there is a high possibility that I will face Otto in the future!

As long as the existence of the Key of Corrosion is exposed, one of him and Otto must die!

And I will never sit idly by and wait for death.

That is to say...

"Is it really possible that the world line that was just rejected will actually happen someday in the future?"

Lin Wei held his head, which was beginning to feel dizzy, and found it hard to accept this cruel fate.

"Could it be that the Gray Snakes foresaw this outcome, believing that I would create a situation most favorable to the World Snakes, leaving them helplessly seeking their protection. That's why they pretended to be magnanimous and let me leave? And then they schemed to expose me to Destiny in Changkong City?"

Lin Wei couldn't help but let out a sinister smile. "You're really good at calculating!" "Do you want me to applaud you?"

But is there really no other way out?

I do not believe!

"Lin Weijun, what's wrong with you?"

Yaezakura sensed Lin Wei's sudden mood swings and couldn't help but call out worriedly.

"Ah, it's okay, I was just a little distracted..."

Lin Wei, whose thoughts were interrupted, suddenly came back to his senses. All the inexplicable emotions disappeared instantly. He just smiled bitterly and simply repeated what he had just thought of.

"Oh, life is so hard..."

Lin Wei ended with a concluding exclamation.

"Fortunately, I'm not crazy..."

When Yaezakura listened to Lin Wei's story, she actually breathed a sigh of relief.

As for the future that might be terrible, she was not too worried. At worst, they could face it together when the time comes.

When she thinks of the ending that is like cherry blossoms falling, Yaezakura, who is somewhat aware of her mono no aware nature, might even feel happy.

No, I can't let my imagination run wild...

Shaking her head slightly, Yae Sakura shook off those messy "tragic imaginations", calmed down, and brought the topic back to her.

"Since you, Lin Weijun, know that killing Otto would have serious consequences, then why..."

She knew she couldn't kill him, but she still had to kill him. She was completely confused by Lin Wei's overly contradictory thoughts.

I'd better listen to his explanation, Yaesakura thought, and decided to start.

"Just because we can't completely kill Otto doesn't mean we can't kill this annoying body of his..."

Lin Wei raised his hand and pointed behind him, and the TV on the wall turned on out of thin air. Yae Sakura looked in the direction of her finger. The screen showed the emergency ward surveillance of the largest hospital in Manila. Outside the door, a young girl was sitting silently with her head down; inside the ward, a girl with a ventilator was sleeping quietly. At the head of the bed, an electrocardiogram could be seen jumping non-stop.

After watching this scene, Yaezakura slowly turned her head back, because Lin Wei started to speak again,

"As long as his consciousness leaves here, my goal will be achieved."

Yaezakura nodded, indicating that she understood Lin Wei's idea, but she was also a little puzzled. After all, the risks of doing so...

"The risk is huge, I know."

Lin Wei seemed to have guessed what Yaezakura was thinking, and said helplessly,

“Because there’s no way around it…”

Then the smile faded,

"Since there's no way around it, just kill him and the problem will be solved."

"..."

Again.

Yaezakura was somewhat helpless, and her words were confusing.

"Manila's collapse is imminent. There are only two ways to keep Anna alive—transfer her away in advance; or use the power of the Black Abyss White Flower to heal her directly."

Lin Wei repeated his previous conclusion, which was the core and premise of everything. Then he said slowly,

"And destiny obviously wouldn't transfer her to another city for no reason. If I want to work towards this goal, then no matter what I do, it's inevitable that Otto, who is currently lurking beside Anna, will notice my presence, just like what happened in Changkong City back then..."

Lin Wei slowly raised one hand and made an explosion gesture.
