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

A sudden gunshot made the man's body stiffen, and then he fell to the ground, revealing a cold gun muzzle close at hand, still emitting smoke.

"You did well. But you're no longer useful."

The Jackal muttered to himself indifferently, then slowly lowered the muzzle of his gun and once again aimed at the man's body. "Bang, bang, bang," he fired three shots in a row, leaving his entire face disfigured beyond recognition.

After doing all this, Jackal put away his pistol with satisfaction, opened the car door, started the car and drove away, leaving behind only a gradually cooling corpse.

"Tsk tsk tsk... It's a good thing I didn't actually join the World Serpent..."

Somewhere a few hundred meters away, Lin Wei, who had already taken off the Pandora voice changer, took the telescope away from his eyes and said in amazement,

“This corporate culture is horrible!”

Working for others costs money, but working for you is life-threatening! Lin Wei complained inwardly.

"Really? I shouldn't have watched it earlier. It's so disgusting..."

Lin Wei took the half-eaten durian in her hand, but she couldn't put it into her mouth. It looked awkward no matter how she looked at it.

The pale yellow flesh is so similar in color to the poor guy's brain matter that flowed out!

Lin Wei thought about it, pushed the rest in front of Yaezakura, and bewitched her.

“Try it, it’s delicious!”

Yaezakura pinched her nose, stepped back, and shook her head desperately.

Chapter 126: How can there be such a good person as you?! (6,000 words)

What the hell is this thing? It stinks. Can I eat it?

After all, Yaezakura was born in the Far East five hundred years ago. Even though she has learned and accepted many things that were unimaginable in her time and in her village over the past year or so, there are some living habits that she can never change.

For example, she would prefer a lighter diet.

She could never accept something like durian, which had a strong smell and taste.

At this moment, facing Lin Wei's behavior of pushing this thing in front of her, she even wanted to just go back to the Stigmata Space.

"Forget it, actually I can't appreciate this thing either."

Seeing Yaezakura's obvious rejection, Lin Wei smiled indifferently and threw the remaining pile into the trash can.

He actually can't get used to it either.

Lin Wei had originally left the coffee shop in order to find a suitable location to observe the Jackal and the Valkyrie at the same time. Of course, the things he had said in the raven voice on the communicator before had a basis in reality.

As for this durian?

I just happened to come across a store selling it, and out of curiosity I bought one, intending to try something new - and then, I found that I really couldn't appreciate it.

"Oh, what a waste..."

Lin Wei took one last glance in the direction of the trash can, then shifted his gaze back to the telescope, staring at the corpse that was ruthlessly abandoned by the jackal from afar, and said with regret.

If someone looked in the direction of Lin Wei's gaze, they would see nothing.

The reason why the secret garage is called a "secret garage" is because it is hidden very secretly: hidden underground, unknown to the public, with only a hidden passage leading to the outside world - which is very consistent with Lin Wei's stereotype of the world snake.

But this kind of hiding is of no use to Lin Wei, because he has a cheat.

The "telescope" in his hand was certainly not a telescope in the ordinary sense, but an observation tool that borrowed some of the power of the "Second God's Key" - it ignored all obstacles in the middle, passed through the space directly, and took in every move that had just happened around the jackal.

The genuine Second God Key, when injected with a massive amount of Honkai energy, can penetrate the barriers of the world and cross the endless quantum sea, thereby observing countless world bubbles and other more complete parallel worlds;

Now, Lin Wei uses a pirated "Second God's Key" to collect its power within a minimum range, and uses it to observe a target that is only a few hundred meters away from him in a straight line. Isn't it an easy task?

This was the method of using the Key of God that Lin Wei had conceived when he was still "on vacation" in Paradise.

At the time, Wei Erwei commented that he had "good ideas, but wasted his talent and wasted his talents."

She really couldn't understand why someone would use the Key of God as a bug?

Of course, Lin Wei wouldn't indulge her, and instead praised her designs as "fancy and gaudy."

Then, the two of them were like a match made in heaven, competing with each other in terms of imagination and scheming, thinking every day about how to set traps for each other, or how to surpass each other in terms of imagination and creativity;

Sometimes, while fighting, they would suddenly resonate with each other, and the two would tacitly put aside their past grudges and work together on the whole thing. Usually at this time, Paddo would hide herself in a place where no one could find her.

After so many times, when the other heroes found that they couldn't find Padu again, they all knew that there was a high probability that there would be another earthquake in the paradise.

After their brief cooperation ended, they started fighting again, and the same plot was repeated...

In this way, the two of them disturbed the peace of Paradise for a while, until Kevin used the irrefutable truth to persuade Lin Wei and Wei Erwei to stop, and the two guys "shaked hands and made peace" with some regret.

In response to this, Alicia promptly sent her condolences and expressed deep regret.

"Oh, such a wonderful show, it came to an abrupt end like this, what a pity..."

Kevin just looked at her expressionlessly, and Alicia retreated awkwardly.

"Alas... Life in Paradise is still so comfortable!"

Thinking of that past experience that seemed to have taken place in another parallel time and space, Lin Wei couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Although dealing with the Riddler is tiring, at least there are not so many concerns and worries about the future.

"Oh, it's far away."

Lin Wei saw from afar that Jackal's car merged into the city's traffic, smiled, and the telescope in his hand dissipated into the air like smoke.

"Why did you give up surveillance?"

Yaesakura was a little confused. Since she had such a useful tool in her hand, why did she suddenly give up using it?

"That won't do. The power of space is far too sensitive. Both Destiny and the World Serpent have conducted in-depth research on it. If you use it too much, you'll likely be discovered."

Lin Wei smiled and said,

"If it weren't for the fact that the jackal left her burrow alone, and now is her weakest moment, there's no need to worry about being discovered by any equipment. Otherwise, I wouldn't have used this method to monitor her."

The World Serpent possesses the Second Divine Key, and Tianming has conducted in-depth research on the corpse and core of the Herrscher of the Void. Both parties have a very deep understanding of the power of "space", which is exactly their area of ​​expertise.

It is for this reason that Lin Wei, who is well versed in the art of "playing to one's strengths and avoiding one's weaknesses", chooses to use a relatively more troublesome method to investigate and monitor Otto and the Jackal. At least this can make himself safer.

And now...

"The Jackal is safe now, it's time for us to go."

Lin Wei stood up and gestured to Yaezakura who had appeared and was sitting beside him.

"If I continue to stay here, I might have to face those Valkyries... Haha, I don't want to run into Otto again."

As long as they didn't meet, he was "He Kun"; but once they did, there was a chance that his identity as "Lin Wei" would be exposed. Regardless of whether the possibility was large or small, the timid Lin Wei thought it was best not to take such an unnecessary risk.

"Got to go?"

Yaezakura was a little surprised.

"I thought you'd bring Tianming here at this time, intending to follow your previous plan, provoke a conflict between the two sides, and then look for an opportunity to snipe Otto..."

Lin Wei couldn't help but laugh and said,

"Do you think that the reason I've been using so much specious intelligence these past two days, sending Otto running around like a dog, to no avail, is to wear down his patience, weaken his trust, and ultimately, make him give up on calling the nearby Orchiddale and walk alone into this trap I've set for him?"

"Is not it?"

Yaezakura looked at Lin Wei doubtfully.

"Haven't you been worrying about how to separate Youlan Dell and Otto?"

She was a little confused. This was clearly the opportunity that Lin Wei had been looking for, so why did he give up?

"Yes, this is the best opportunity. Unfortunately, it's too good to be true."

Lin Wei shook his head and said with some regret,

"So, it's a poisonous apple to me."

If you rashly eat poisonous fruit, something bad will happen.

“…I don’t quite understand.”

Yaezakura said to be frank, I can't guess your riddles.

"If Otto only had one life, or if I could kill him completely in one fell swoop, that wouldn't be a problem—but you know the consequences would be more serious."

Lin Wei spread his hands helplessly.

Yaezakura nodded in understanding. Of course she understood.

If Otto died at the hands of others before he took off his mask, his image in the eyes of the world would be that of a complete hero, a top-notch hero full of tragedy.

Even K423 would try his best to "seek justice for" such a great and glorious Bishop Otto.

"And since we can only destroy this body, how will he react when his consciousness returns to headquarters and recalls this failure?"

Lin Wei put himself in Otto's position and thought from his own perspective,

"If it were me, I would immediately realize this was a trap. Otherwise, there wouldn't be such a well-timed attack! As for evidence? It doesn't matter. I just need this suspicion! And what we need to do next is to investigate this 'suspicion' - the first target of investigation is 'He Kun', who provided 'me' with the information."

"And 'He Kun' doesn't even exist! Therefore, as long as he begins his investigation, it's only a matter of time before he's exposed. Even if he can't track down the World Serpent, as long as he follows the clues of Anti-Entropy, it's only a matter of time before 'Lin Wei' is exposed."

"In this way, the world line will inevitably converge to the most dangerous outcome—the inevitable life-and-death battle between Otto and me."

Speaking of this, Lin Wei said frankly,

"Otto possesses almost all the power of mankind, while I only have you and Pandora. The disparity in strength is too great. I have no chance of winning. All I can do is perish together—and this is an outcome I don't want. Not only because I don't want to die, but also because I have you, Sakura, and of course, Rin."

"I admit that I am very selfish. For my own selfish desires, I unreasonably kidnapped you and me in a robbery. But I don't want to bring any bad consequences to you because of me."

And Fu Hua, she still has some things left with him, he should keep them well and wait for the day when he can return them intact;

And Anna, even if I were a piece of wood, I should be able to feel her flawless heart, right? How could I bear to cause her any harm?

"They say those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. A year ago, I was still a precarious ant, no one cared about me. Naturally, I could act recklessly and recklessly..."

Lin Wei smiled self-deprecatingly and said,

"But now, I can't! Slowly, I find myself being tripped up by some inexplicable things, and I can no longer bear to do those reckless things."

But to be honest, Lin Wei didn't hate this feeling.

A lone swordsman bravely journeying across the world sounds cool and romantic;

But given a choice, who would want to be alone?

Slowly, Lin Wei began to understand the meaning of the word "protect".

"Even if we return to the primitive society of eating raw meat and drinking blood, all the fighting, plundering, and slaughtering people do, ultimately, to ensure a better survival for their tribes and their families. For this reason, people are willing to fight, to kill, and to die..."

Lin Wei smiled and said,

"Of course, I don't want to 'die'. But in order to protect our little 'home', I'm willing to put on a pair of shackles and be a good person who treats others with kindness..."

Yae Sakura was originally upset by Lin Wei's words, but when she heard this she suddenly burst into laughter and couldn't help but roll her eyes at him.

"All day long, calculating this, calculating that; killing this, killing that. When did the standard of a 'good person' in the world become so low?"

After a pause, he looked at him deeply and said with emotion,

"But you really are a good person, Lin Weijun..."

"Me? Forget it! I just want to make myself more considerate of the consequences when considering things..."

Lin Wei sneered,

"After all, the person we're facing is a complete lunatic. There are too many unpredictable things here; therefore, the issues to consider will become more complicated..."

Lin Wei thought that the most troublesome thing here was that once the situation became uncontrollable, he would go crazy at any time, but he subjectively resisted such an outcome.

It was precisely because of this that he began to pursue a pathological "absolute control" over the current situation; and when this "absolute control" even included Otto, the whole problem became exponentially more complicated, making Lin Wei even more cautious.

Lin Wei sometimes thought that if he was willing to put some things aside and kick the card table in front of him away, the whole problem would become very simple, but simplicity comes at a price.

Lin Wei didn't want anyone to pay the price for herself or Otto.

"It's okay, just wait for time to pass."

Lin Wei has a basic prediction about this.

"Once Otto's plan officially begins, and K-423 officially becomes the Herrscher of the Void, Otto's 'Indestructible Golden Body' will collapse on its own. Once the time comes, Otto and I will be on offense and defense against the aliens."

By that time, Otto's plan to resurrect Kallen was already set in stone and had to be launched;

And I, by then, will connect the World Serpent, Anti-Entropy, and even the St. Freya Academy Group, becoming the hub of these three forces - at this point, it will be Otto's turn to weigh whether to choose to perish together with me.
