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

Lin Wei looked at her like this and said with a smile.

"It is meaningless to talk to a dying victim."

The doll girl said as a matter of course,

"This kind of thing happens a lot in the master's laboratory."

"If you don't want to talk to me, then why are you willing to answer my questions again and again?"

Lin Wei asked with a smile.

"Ok?"

The humanoid machine seemed to have not thought about this question. It was slightly stunned, tilted its head and thought for a long time, then said uncertainly,

“Hospice?”

“Uh…hahahahahaha!”

Seeing her innocent look, Lin Wei couldn't help but burst into laughter. After laughing for a long time, he stopped and said with some emotion,

"What a pity! That little girl who really turned herself into a machine wouldn't be as cute as you..."

The robot girl was confused as to why.

"Let me ask you a question."

Lin Wei changed the subject and asked curiously,

"Were you in charge of the base at that university before?"

"Unlike the base on Coral Island, the First Institute of Biology at the Central University of the Philippines is primarily a research-focused base and is not managed by humanoid robots."

The humanoid girl explained,

"It's just that the master, as the one with higher authority, automatically took over the highest authority when she moved in. I am her assistant, carrying out the daily management of the base on her behalf."

At this point, she asked back curiously,

"Why do you ask?"

"Nothing... I just got some news by chance."

Lin Wei recalled some small things that caught his attention when he read from the memories of those Valkyries at the Central Hospital.

"The researchers at that biological research institute were urgently disbanded before they were attacked again by the Valkyrie of Destiny, and most of them were safe and sound afterwards... I find this very strange, because it doesn't fit my stereotype of the World Serpent's 'annihilation' at all..."

Lin Wei said sarcastically, and then asked curiously,

"I guess it was you who did it."

"Ah."

The robot girl admitted it.

"why?"

"Because they are ordinary people used to deceive others; at most, they are just 'rat cages' used by their masters to select experimental subjects."

The robot girl remained calm about this.

"They knew nothing. So I don't think they should be buried with the base in that situation."

"why?"

Lin Wei asked.

"because……"

The humanoid machine paused, its lips trembling slightly, as if remembering the woman who had tragically died before it; or perhaps it was remembering the middle-aged driver who had emerged from the underground passage and helped it evacuate safely, only to have his car and himself drown in the river due to a brake failure...

Because there were so many things on my mind, I didn't know what to say for a moment. After thinking for a while, I said,

"Because meaningless sacrifice is nothing but meaningless self-destruction."

The voice was still flat, without any ups and downs; but when one listened carefully, it seemed to be filled with some kind of passionate emotion.

"The world is bad enough as it is, so I don't think we should add more fuel to the fire."

"That's very well said..."

Lin Wei laughed, shook his head and sighed,

"What a pity..."

Anna, if you could hear these words, would you still be so confused and painful?

I just wonder if the humanoid girl on the coral island understood this simplest truth at the moment before she died?

"What's your name?"

Lin Wei asked gently.

"Number E-311."

"I meant your name."

Lin Wei's voice was still very gentle.

"A human name."

This gentle yet firm voice warmed the heart of the robot girl, but was quickly cooled by her cold body. She shook her head and said,

"There's no point anymore."

"why?"

Lin Wei asked again relentlessly.

"Everyone who knew my name is dead."

The voice of the robot girl was still flat, as if she were really a machine.

"Whether it was once a human name or is now a machine number, there's no difference. In fact, the number is easier to remember."

"……Yeah?"

Lin Wei nodded in understanding and stopped asking questions.

This world is never fair. Some people are born as dragons with limitless potential, while others are ants who can't even withstand a simple rainfall...

A dragon has its own way of living. He can roar proudly, bravely and fearlessly charge towards the world-destroying troll, fighting with it until he is covered in wounds and the sky is dark.

And the ants, even if they looked up, would be torn to pieces by the slightest aftermath of this battle...

But in the end, whether dragons or ants, we are all living beings in this world, holding together and struggling to survive.

There is no one who is superior or inferior here, it’s just that everyone has their own difficulties.

"Then what am I now?"

Lin Wei murmured in reflection,

“Is it high or low?”

There was a vague answer in his mind, but Lin Wei didn't want to accept it yet.

Look, even I have such a dilemma, so why not make it difficult for others...

Lin Wei thought with a smile.

"Do you remember what you just said?"

Lin Wei smiled at the humanoid girl and said very gently,

"Whether your body is flesh or machine, it doesn't matter. It's just a body that carries life. Living like a machine doesn't matter either. At least, it makes you useful and won't be so easily discarded..."

Choosing to forget the painful past, abandoning excessive emotions, and accepting the broken present and an even more broken future can also be an effective survival strategy.

Is it an escape? Maybe...

But at least she's still positive, isn't she?

Life will always find a way...

Lin Wei suddenly remembered this sentence.

"You see, I was right."

Lin Wei finally said with a smile,

"You have never been a tool, you have always been a living human being, a beautiful one."

"..."

The humanoid girl was stunned for a long time, staring at Lin Wei intently, but she seemed to be uncomfortable with his determined eyes, and turned her head away in a hurry.

Is this a blessing? she thought.

She was very grateful that someone was willing to do this to her, but she didn't know what she could do. After thinking for a while, she said,

"I'll print out the medical report you requested for you."

Lin Wei smiled and said,

"I don't understand those data. Please summarize them for me."

"..."

The humanoid girl suddenly felt that this guy was even more hateful than herself.

………………

On the other side, the jackal, who had completed all the preparations, suppressed his excitement and watched the long-awaited prey finally caught on the big screen.

She stood up suddenly, pretending to be calm as she walked to the microphone. After calming down, she looked at the two cautious girls on the screen and said proudly,

"Welcome, guests from afar, I have been waiting for you here for a long time!"

Chapter 143: The Battlefield of the Valkyrie (5,000 words)

Time goes back a little bit.

In fact, from the very beginning, Otto never regarded the Snow Lotus Team as an integral part of his overall plan.

In his eyes, the Snow Lotus Squad was just a tool that allowed him to stay here and conceal his true identity, nothing more;

Now that Anna was seriously injured and unconscious, it was naturally inconvenient for Yuno to act alone. It was very likely that the target would notice something unusual and become alert - at least Otto thought to himself, if it were him, he would definitely smell something wrong.

Therefore, in order to avoid trouble, he planned to let the Snow Lotus Team cover up his identity as Yuno in the name of "investigation" and walk around openly.

Apart from this, the Snow Lotus Team is no different from other Valkyrie Teams active in Southeast Asia, and is not even qualified to be used by Otto to alert the enemy.

But he didn't expect that before he could take the initiative to lead them into action, Miss Jie'er, the captain of the Snow Lotus Team, actually took the initiative to find him and invite "Yuno" to join her investigation.

Although Otto was a little surprised by this, he was also happy to see it happen.

Afterwards, Ji'er's team was extremely diligent and proactive in their operations. Although their results were limited, the World Serpent was inherently hidden and difficult to find. Therefore, in Otto's view, this repeated empty-handed situation was completely normal.

But Jier doesn't think so.

Perhaps it was because of her overly strong sense of responsibility, or perhaps it was simply because ignorance is fearless; in any case, Otto saw with his own eyes that this captain, who was just an ordinary A-level Valkyrie, not only did not feel frustrated after every day's setbacks, but her fighting spirit became stronger and her actions became more proactive.

Seeing this, Otto couldn't help but laugh.

After this, he began to truly hand over the leadership of the investigation to her, and instructed Amber to have headquarters provide her with a certain degree of support. Then, Otto once again retreated behind the scenes as usual, quietly waiting for things to develop as he expected.

He believed that such a subordinate would not let him down...

"Huh... We're here. This is the final marked location."

The motorcycle, which had been speeding and roaring wildly all the way, began to become quiet as it approached the destination, slowly slowed down, and then stopped by the side of the road. Jier signaled "Yuno" who was sitting in the back of the car to get off, and then he got off as well.

The wild racing along the way did not make Jier excited; on the contrary, she maintained the vigilance of a warrior from beginning to end.

Although she knew Yuno probably didn't need it, Jier still took the trouble to take off her weapon, checked it carefully, and then gently put it back in place for her; then she began to check her own equipment: weapons, communicator, and the most important two-word transmission system.

"You're likely to encounter the enemy later. You must follow orders and don't act on your own. Got it?"

Ze'er spoke seriously to Yuno, who blinked her grass-green eyes twice and nodded seriously.

"That's good."

Jier put away his serious expression, revealed a gentle smile, reached out and gently rubbed Yuno's smooth black hair, and gently advised,

"Later, if you encounter an enemy we can't defeat, you must not be stubborn. Retreat immediately, leave here, and call headquarters for support. Got it?"
