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

"Bishop Otto personally sent Fu Hua here to investigate me. Oh, I'm truly flattered!"

The words "Bishop Otto" shocked Anna. As a Shaniat, she naturally knew the value of these four words and asked,

"and then?"

"And then? Then I persuaded her to do me a favor, using a reason she couldn't object to..."

Lin Wei said concisely,

"I persuaded her to help me return to Changkong City, where I defeated a Herrscher who remained from a previous civilization. Ultimately, I obtained the Herrscher's stigmata, and with them, a brand new Divine Key."

"Wait wait wait wait!"

Anna was almost going crazy, she grabbed Lin Wei's collar and shook her.

"Can you make up a more convincing story? I can understand every word you say, but why don't I understand when you put them together?"

What Herrscher, Stigmata, and Key of God, what do they have to do with each other?

Also, is it so easy to defeat the Herrscher?

I'm a Valkyrie! A professional fighter against Honkai!

Can you fool me?

"I knew it would be like this..."

Lin Wei, feeling dizzy from the shaking, simply pinched out a black feather.

"See for yourself!"

Lin Wei slightly deleted some of his memories of the confrontation with the Herrscher, recorded them into the feather, and then gently touched it on Anna's forehead.

Anna stopped shaking herself desperately while grabbing her collar, her eyes dull as she was shocked by the scene that suddenly appeared in her mind.

"Tsk, isn't it just a little movie inside your head? Who can't do that?"

Lin Wei thought with a smile.

"It's actually true..."

After a moment, Anna came to her senses, wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, and looked at Lin Wei in disbelief.

"how did you do it?"

Just an immersive memory made her feel scared and sweat profusely; and the man in front of her had actually walked through such a Shura field.

That's the Herrscher!

"Do you mean implanting memories, or fighting against the Herrscher?"

Lin Wei still held the feather in his fingers and chuckled pretentiously.

"The former is of course the work of the Divine Key, but the latter... wouldn't it be enough to just have hands?"

"you!"

Anna was so angry that she grabbed Lin Wei's collar and shook her violently again.

After shaking it for a while, he had almost vented out all his anger, tension, and shock from that memory. He stopped and looked at Lin Wei with a complicated expression.

“Is this your past?”

"Well, part of my past."

Lin Wei nodded and said,

“Although it’s only a part, it’s the most important part; it’s because of this experience that I can stand here today.”

"Really? Then why are you telling me this?"

Anna pointed at the feather in Lin Wei's hand.

"You still want me to see these?"

"One of my purposes, of course, is to teach you a truth: Herrschers are not to be feared; especially those with only consciousness, who are only capable of bluffing. If I can do it, so can you!"

Lin Wei looked into Anna's eyes seriously and emphasized in a deep voice,

"Remember this for me!"

If I remember correctly, in the original world line, Anna lost because she was at a disadvantage in the entanglement and confrontation with the Herrscher's consciousness, so she sought death while she was still conscious.

Why does it have to be so tragic and heroic?

Do it!

Regardless of whether Anna will become a Herrscher in the future, it is always a good idea to take this opportunity to get a dose of prevention.

He really didn't want this kind and lovely silly girl in front of him to end up like that one day...

Of course, Anna did not understand Lin Wei's painstaking efforts, as she had read the script in advance. Her big eyes were filled with even greater doubts, and she looked at him blinkingly.

Why are you telling me this?

"Anyway, just remember it."

Lin Wei waved her hand nonchalantly.

It doesn't matter if you don't understand it now. If that day comes, it will naturally play its due role...

"As for the other purpose..."

Lin Wei stopped twisting the feather with his fingers, held it up high, and stopped it not far from Anna's eyes, saying with a smile,

"Of course, it's to allow someone to read your memory and tamper with it in the future. Our respected Bishop can see it clearly—it's just the key to consciousness. Who doesn't have it?"

Lin Wei sneered,

"It's better not to use such a meaningless method!"

Otto is an extremely dangerous enemy, and Lin Wei cannot bet that he will never discover Anna's existence and abnormality; this is almost impossible.

Even Anna, because of her special identity, is destined to be involved in the competition between him and Otto; and become his weakness and a chess piece that Otto can use!

Although this kind of thing is bound to make people very angry, Lin Wei could only grit his teeth and accept it.

After all, Anna's affection for him was not fake.

This kind of pure care, pure trust, and pure dependence without any purpose; this kind of emotional gift that is like a free gift, makes Lin Wei not even know how to refuse.

After all, the girl has done this for you, what else do you want?

When Lin Wei came to his senses, he found that it was too late.

Even if I unilaterally refuse, when Otto discovers Anna's abnormality and uses it as a pawn to threaten me, can I still deceive myself and pretend not to see it?

In that case, what is the difference between Damao and Otto?

If I had known earlier, I would have not gone to that damn coral island! Lin Wei thought with some regret.

Could it be that he is really like Otto, deceiving himself and pretending to be dead when the time comes?

Then, when everything is beyond redemption, they beat their chests and stamp their feet, and repent;

Then, you "return as a prodigal son" and hold the whole world hostage to make you pay for your own cowardice and stupidity?

What the hell have you been doing so early?

Lin Wei despised this extremely and was determined not to become such a person!

Since some things cannot be avoided, some advance warning measures and defense methods are indispensable.

Isn’t it just a disadvantageous situation?

I've fought many times, this one won't make a difference!

Lin Wei thought with some resentment, and raised his middle finger to the sky for the first time in a long time.

Chapter 180: Lin Wei: Otto? Just a tyrant! (6,000 words)

Anna didn't understand the two reasons Lin Wei just said, but she clearly heard a very important keyword.

"This is the second time you've mentioned the Bishop. What does it mean?"

The reason behind this made Anna panic again.

"Do you really have to be the enemy of the Bishop?"

Don't you know who I am? I'm the Valkyrie of Destiny!

Do you want me, a Shaniyat, to betray my destiny for you?

Or do you want to break up with me in this way and force me to draw my weapon against you?

Anna's heart ached. I can't do any of this!

"It's not that I want to be Otto's enemy; on the contrary, he is determined to be my enemy, and I just have to fight..."

Lin Wei said seriously.

Of course he knew that his cruel words would make Anna very painful, but this was not the time to be soft-hearted or hesitant.

"Why? I don't understand..."

Anna murmured in confusion and pain.

What exactly is it that you don’t understand?

I don’t understand why Lin Wei has to be an enemy of the bishop?

I don’t understand why Lin Wei insisted on telling me all this?

Still don't understand why I have to make this difficult decision?

Still don’t understand something else?

Even Anna herself couldn't tell...

"Yeah, I don't understand either..."

Lin Wei smiled bitterly and shook his head and sighed.

"I don't understand why I came to this world with nothing; I don't understand why I was eroded by the Honkai; I don't understand why I just want to live a peaceful, ordinary life, but I always encounter all kinds of strange things."

"Honkai, Destiny, the World Serpent, and that Anti-Entropy that's more trouble than help..."

Lin Wei's voice became colder and colder.

"I don't understand... why do these damn guys have to find all kinds of trouble for me? Why do they have to force me to do things I don't want to do again and again?"

Anna, who was standing nearby, sensed a deeper sense of confusion and anger in Lin Wei's voice. She suddenly woke up and calmed down. She grabbed Lin Wei's arm and hurriedly shouted,

"Lin Wei, run! Hide, stay far away! Leave me alone!"

Anna burst into tears and spoke in a sad tone.

"You are alone, and you cannot defeat fate or the Bishop..."

She chose to play dumb.

These words filled with concern and worry were like a pool of sweet spring water pouring into Lin Wei's heart, extinguishing all the negative emotions that had just surged in his heart.

"..."

Lin Wei couldn't help but smile, and reached out to stroke Anna's long chestnut hair tenderly, saying with a bit of a smile,

"I don't understand why I had to go to the Coral Island in the first place. I ended up meeting a silly girl like you."

"you dislike me?!"

Anna exploded immediately, feeling more and more aggrieved - I've been worried about you having no results, and you still despise me?

"How could that be? I just feel that it's too unfair to suddenly drag you into this vortex of mine in this way..."

When Lin Wei said this, she suddenly felt absurd and amused. She had always said before that "St. Freya Academy is a vortex that must not be touched." But she didn't know when it started, but she actually became a vortex herself...

"But then I thought again, if I hadn't gone to Manila, you, a clumsy young man, might have died there..."

Lin Wei said with a smile, intending to liven up the atmosphere.

"Wow...you still dislike me..."

As a result, Anna cried even louder, you actually look down on me!

I have to say, girls' trains of thought are indeed more unique...
