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

Anna asked curiously after hearing the key words.

"I just mentioned it to him."

Lin Wei briefly explained. Then she pointed at Anna and introduced her to Chen Tianwu.

"This lady is Anna Shaniat, the Valkyrie of Destiny that I just mentioned."

"She looks no different from an ordinary human girl."

Chen Tianwu looked at Anna carefully and said, "Then he added,

"Of course it has to be more beautiful..."

Anna's face flushed red, and she covered it with her hands in embarrassment.

This guy is quite talkative.

"All the misfortunes that befell Manila were caused by a disaster called 'collapse'."

Lin Wei continued to speak while complaining in his heart,

"And Destiny is an elite organization dedicated to fighting against Honkai."

"It sounds a lot like those mysterious organizations in games that secretly protect the world..."

Chen Tianwu said with some words unfinished.

"Haha, I guess the second half of your sentence is probably something like 'this kind of organization usually has some shameful conspiracy or evil plan', right?"

Lin Wei directly exposed it, making Chen Tianwu look embarrassed.

"It doesn't matter. I'm not destined to be one."

Lin Wei shrugged and added indifferently.

"Hey you!"

Hearing Lin Wei "slandering" Tianming's reputation, Anna instinctively wanted to defend herself, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she remembered what happened when she first joined the Snow Lotus team, and her momentum instantly withered.

"No way?"

Chen Tianwu noticed Anna's abnormality and subconsciously wanted to hide his sister behind him; but as soon as he moved, he realized that this was neither polite nor fair to his savior, so he gave up embarrassedly.

"There are many problems with destiny, but objectively speaking, the world is still supported by them."

Lin Wei briefly ended the topic and pointed at Anna.

"Especially the Valkyries who have been fighting bravely on the front lines. They are innocent."

Anna's nose felt sore and she felt like crying.

"Feel sorry……"

Seeing this, Chen Tianwu quickly apologized and then awkwardly tried to change the subject.

"Speaking of which, where are we going?"

"We'll meet up with her captain first, complete some tasks there like battlefield communications, and then we'll get you to a safe place."

Lin Wei's words were very brief. He then glanced at the still listless Chen Tianwu and asked curiously,

"How are you now? Are you still unable to move on your own?"

"What's going on? Are you hurt anywhere? Wait a minute, let me take a look!"

Anna was attracted by Lin Wei's words. She turned her head and looked at Chen Tianwu again. She found that he was in a very bad state. She rushed over and kneaded his limbs and spine, saying,

"Don't worry, I've learned battlefield first aid, so I'll be fine!"

"...Then I'll be in trouble."

Chen Tianwu closed his eyes with an unnatural look and let Anna do what she wanted.

"ah!"

Anna took off the fingerless gloves on his hands and looked at the purple-red lines slowly spreading on his wrists with an unpleasant look on her face.

"Is this... Honkai erosion?"

The keyword "collapse" that he had just learned made Chen Tianwu feel a chill in his heart, and he had a bad premonition.

"Stab!"

Anna, anxious in her heart, tore open Chen Tianwu's trouser legs somewhat roughly - and sure enough, there were the same knotted lines on his calves.

"..."

Lin Wei looked at him and felt a sense of déjà vu for a moment, just like herself back then.

"Don't worry. When everything is over, I will take you back to Tianming. There will definitely be a way to help you there!"

Anna gave Chen Tianwu a comforting smile.

"It's unlikely that fate will save him. Instead, it's more likely that he'll be stuffed into a laboratory for sliced ​​slices and studied."

Lin Wei dismantled the stage without any hesitation.

"After all, a man who can survive such a great collapse is still of some research value."

Lin Wei even suspected that in the original world line, it was because Anna deliberately concealed the news about Chen Tianwu that Tianming did not notice his existence.

After all, Anna at that time probably didn't know that he was eroded by Honkai, but she must have known about the dark side of Destiny.

"so what should I do now?"

Sure enough, after hearing what Lin Wei said, Anna also became depressed.

"Mr. Lin Wei, then you..."

Chen Tianwu felt a chill in his heart, and with a one in ten thousand hope he asked Lin Wei, hoping to get an answer from him.

"My situation is special and I won't be affected by Honkai."

Lin Wei said lightly.

"..."

"That's it..."

Chen Tianwu was silent for a long time before he raised his head and touched the head of his sister who was crying in his arms. He asked Lin Wei and Anna seriously,

"What's this Honkai Corrosion? What are the consequences? Will I turn into a monster like that?"

"possible."

Lin Wei said.

“…Really? That’s really ugly…”

Chen Tianwu collapsed and said with a wry smile.

After a long while, he seemed to have made up his mind and said in a hoarse voice,

"In that case, please find a relatively quiet place, Mr. Lin Wei, and put me down. As for my sister..."

He glanced at his younger sister, hardened his heart, and continued with a trembling voice,

"As for my sister, I'll leave her in your care..."

"No! Brother, I don't want you to leave..."

The little girl threw herself into her brother's arms and cried desperately, repeating the same words over and over again.

"Lin Wei, what should we do?"

Anna asked anxiously, grabbing Lin Wei's arm.

She used to think that the scene of family reunion was so beautiful, but now how could she bear such separation of life and death?

For some reason, she felt that Lin Wei must have a way.

"Why did you ask me to put you down right there?"

Lin Wei did not rush to answer Anna, but directly asked Chen Tianwu a strange question.

"I've played those zombie games before, and I know that after I turn into a monster, I will definitely hurt my sister. She's still young and won't be able to escape."

Chen Tianwu answered truthfully, gently stroking his sister's hair, and said with a wry smile,

"Besides, my sister finally found a place where she could live in peace. How could she let a monster destroy it? Those future neighbors are innocent too..."

The little girl's cries became louder, even to the point of being heartbreaking.

Without my family, where would I go?

The little girl was extremely discouraged and hopeless about the future.

"Lin Wei..."

Anna became more and more uneasy and couldn't help but look at Lin Wei again.

"If it really doesn't work, let me take them back to Tianming?"

Maybe for Shaniyat's sake, he will be properly resettled?

Anna thought naively.

"There's no need to be so troublesome."

Lin Wei shook his head. He was quite satisfied with Chen Tianwu's answer.

As the saying goes, "When a dying man is about to speak, his words are the best," because that is the last words a person expresses when he is desperate and has nowhere else to turn.

Besides, if I really don’t do something, I’m afraid that little Chen Tianwen will really become the second Xilin.

After weighing it for a while, Lin Wei took out a syringe of reagent from his arms, looked at the gray liquid flowing quietly inside, and then looked at Chen Tianwu seriously, which made him shiver and sit up straight.

"Remember this, Chen Tianwu."

"Your life was purchased at the cost of a thousand other lives. I hope you understand its weight."

"I hope you will remember the kindness we showed you today and not go down the wrong path."

"Otherwise, even for the sake of the thousand sacrifices, I will find you and take it back."

"Remember it!"

Chapter 186: The Weight of Life

"Your life was purchased at the cost of the lives of another thousand people. Remember this, Chen Tianwu."

Chen Tianwu saw that Lin Wei's expression had changed from its previous gentleness to become extremely serious, looking at him with sharp eyes. He couldn't help but shudder and nodded subconsciously.

"I understand. Thank you very much for saving my life!"

Chen Tianwu said with a dry mouth,

"If you need me in the future, I will..."

"I understand. I don't need you to do anything for me, and you don't have to feel like you owe me anything."

Lin Wei relaxed his expression and said calmly,

"Live a good life with your sister. If you really want to thank me for something, please remember who you were today. And in the future, if you see others in trouble, do your best to help them..."

Lin Wei looked up at the sky and sighed.

“The world is bad enough, don’t let yourself become as bad as it is.”

This sentence, which was not sure whether it was an emotion or a blessing, made Chen Tianwu's heart warm. He sat up straight involuntarily and nodded heavily.

"I see. Thank you very much!"

Seeing him like this, Lin Wei nodded. He had a good impression of this young man.

Even when he was most frightened and panicked, he did not forget to tell himself and Anna to escape quickly, and was more willing to give the chance of life to others.

Although it seems a bit stupid, it is already rare for an ordinary person who knows nothing and suddenly encounters a disaster. At least he does not lack the kindness and passion that young people should have.

Compared to those who are either decadent or sophisticated and selfish, this kind of character is more valuable...

But despite this, I can't give him things easily.

This is not only because this serum is extremely precious; it is also because Lin Wei understands a very screwed-up part of human nature - the more inexplicably a gift is received, the less likely people will know how to cherish it; they may even take it for granted and think it is everywhere.

It was for this reason that Lin Wei gave him such a small challenge that was not really a challenge, and put a lock on his subconscious mind that was somewhat dangerous - if he was dissatisfied in the future, this gift would be taken away at any time.
