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

When this expectation really became a reality, Lin Wei still felt a little unwilling and frustrated - after all, he had really tried hard to avoid this result.

But in the end, we are back to square one. It has to be said that it is a huge irony...

"From now on, I probably won't be able to peacefully play games, go fishing, or take Yaezakura to enjoy the cherry blossoms..."

Lin Wei thought with some regret that he quite liked eating the sakura cakes made by Yaezakura.

Although Yaezakura said that the cherry blossoms in Singapore are far inferior to those in Shinano, Lin Wei still likes them.

Ultimately, what he likes is life itself.

He likes a quiet, undisturbed life, the kind of ordinary and happy life that everyone should have, where he doesn't hurt others and won't be hurt by others...

In this respect, he probably had a lot in common with Raven; and what was even more similar was that their dreams were both shattered in the end.

The difference is that Raven is still dreaming her own dream, while Lin Wei's dream has been shattered twice...

Because he knew that from this moment on, the fuse of the gunpowder had been lit and the horn of war had officially sounded, and he had to start preparing for the next battlefield!

The bad news is, he's not ready yet;

After all, he only had one trump card in his hand. The trump card's greatest strength lay in its hidden power of deterrence, and its ability to flip the table at the last moment when things were hopelessly out of control. It wasn't something he could easily use.

The good news is that all the goals of his trip to Manila have been achieved: he helped Tianming consolidate the defense line and rescued Anna from danger; he even rescued Chen Tianwu and Chen Tianwen, brother and sister, which was a not-so-small unexpected gain.

And now, Tianming's communications have naturally been restored, so there is no need to set up a "communication base station" for Rita and the others again; he can evacuate the Manila battlefield without any psychological barriers, making Otto's attempt futile.

And you can take the opportunity to hide in the dark, buy time and wait for a chance to counterattack!

"This way of repaying a favor is truly Rita's style..."

Lin Wei couldn't help but sigh.

Although Rita looks mysterious and unpredictable on the outside, once you understand her inner thoughts, you will find that her character is no different from other Valkyries; she just has her own set of survival rules.

"Communication restored? Great!"

Anna, who was standing by, also heard what Jier said.

She had heard Lin Wei talk about the current situation before, so she naturally understood the significance of restoring communications to the entire war situation, and she couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"This way, we can immediately launch a counterattack and put an end to this damn collapse!"

Lin Wei opened her mouth and was about to say something when Anna suddenly turned around, grabbed Lin Wei's hand, and said seriously and hurriedly,

"Lin Wei, please leave!"

"Ok?"

Jier was stunned for a moment, then she remembered something and couldn't help but look at the two of them carefully. She silently stepped back a few steps to avoid hearing anything she shouldn't hear. At the same time, she did not forget to reach out and call on the Chen brothers and sisters to stay away from her.

But Anna seemed very anxious, and without waiting for the captain and the others to walk a little further, she repeated,

"Lin Wei, let's go now while there's still time!"

"Huh? Why?"

Lin Wei was a little confused again.

Wasn't this girl quite stupid? Why did she suddenly become smart?

"Hey, it's already this late, why are you pretending with me?"

Anna felt that Lin Wei was teasing her again, and she couldn't help but feel a little angry.

"Now that communications have been restored, the Tianming army will be arriving at any moment. Your aircraft is such an obvious target, once it's targeted, it will be difficult to escape!"

Anna held Lin Wei's hand tightly and said pleadingly,

"Just think of it as... for yourself. While there's still time, before the man of destiny arrives, hurry up and leave here. Hide yourself like before, forget all those messed-up thoughts, and live a good life somewhere where no one can find you..."

Anna couldn't help but raised one hand and stroked Lin Wei's cheek, and said softly,

"You're such a skilled hacker, able to easily find a way out of any dangerous situation... A simple question like this shouldn't be too difficult for you, right?"

Lin Wei gently grasped Anna's slightly cold little hand and asked seriously,

"What about you? Do you want to leave with me?"

Although he knew the possibility was slim, he still asked the question.

"I am the Valkyrie of destiny, I am the Shaniat of destiny, I cannot betray destiny..."

Sure enough, Anna smiled gently, pulled her hand back from Lin Wei's hand, shook her head, and said seriously,

"I'm the vice-captain of the Snow Lotus Squad. It's my duty to protect Manila, and I can't leave here. So..."

At this point, Anna paused, smiled sadly, and said as if saying goodbye,

"Leave quickly and find a place... where even I can't find you..."

Although Anna is naive, she is not really stupid. On the contrary, she has received an excellent education since childhood and possesses good IQ and knowledge.

What's more, she has been in the headquarters of Tianming for many years and is very familiar with Youlan Dale and Rita. She naturally knows that since Lin Wei has cooperated with Rita, Rita will definitely report the matter to the bishop. What will the bishop do?

Will I become the breakthrough point he uses to find Lin Wei's whereabouts?

Anna was a little frightened, so she decided to give up the idea completely.

As long as he knew nothing, Lin Wei would be safe.

Anna thought so, but she felt a sudden emptiness in her heart, as if half of it had been dug out of thin air. In addition to the feeling of loss, there was also an indescribable pain. However, she still managed to force a smile and said cheerfully,

"As for me, don't worry! Captain Jier and I are both A-rank Valkyries after all, so we won't have any problem protecting ourselves here!"

"..."

Lin Wei looked at her seriously, was silent for a moment, then slowly revealed a gentle smile, raised his fingers to wipe the corners of her slightly moist eyes, and looked at Anna hurriedly lowering her head, and said briefly,

"it is good."

Anna felt a sudden pain in her heart, and her head dropped even lower. She pursed her lips tightly, and only forced a trembling sound through her nose.

"……Um……"

"Don't think too much, take care of yourself..."

Lin Wei touched her head with some pity.

"I'll come back to you when the time is right."

Now that Anna could not leave with him, he tried to reduce his contact with her as much as possible to avoid Otto discovering the clues too early. It was also a kind of protection for her out of helplessness.

There was no way. The gap between him and Otto was too great. Even Anna couldn't stand with him without hesitation, let alone others!

"This is destined to be a protracted battle..."

Reality is very difficult, Lin Wei thought with a sigh, then touched Anna's hair again and turned to leave.

"and many more!"

Anna called him again, ran to the side and pulled the Chen brothers and sisters over.

"Take them away with you!"

"Sister Anna?"

The little girl looked at her with confusion and reluctance.

"Chen Tianwu, he has strong resistance to Honkai energy now, right?"

Anna gritted her teeth and said,

"Even their own Valkyrie could be sent to the laboratory and sacrificed at will; how could such an outsider male fall into the hands of fate and have a good ending?"

Didn't she have resentment towards fate in her heart? And this resentment didn't just stop today.

"Anna..."

Jie'er smiled bitterly. She naturally knew where Anna's initial resentment came from...

Hearing Anna's gritting voice, Chen Tianwu was shocked and quickly looked at Lin Wei. He knew that he was the one who could make the final decision.

"Okay, of course no problem."

Lin Wei thought about it and did not refuse. He immediately asked the Chen brothers and sisters to follow him and board the aircraft to leave here together.

But just as he turned around, Lin Wei suddenly felt an extremely violent shaking, and he stumbled and almost fell off the edge of the building.

At this moment, if the camera is zoomed out, you can clearly see that this building, which was once a landmark of Manila, suddenly began to shake and sway violently, as if it wanted to throw away the tiny human being standing on its "head".

"Ah! Be careful!"

Anna, who was always paying attention to Lin Wei's movements, was horrified and hurriedly pulled him back; she also lost her balance in the violent shaking, and the two of them rolled into a ball in an instant.

"Woooa! Bro!"

The little girl's terrible memories were instantly awakened, and she cried out in fear. Chen Tianwu held her tightly in his arms, with the same look of despair on his face.

Why, again?

"Oh no, there's another earthquake!"

Jier shouted loudly with a grim expression, and quickly dragged Lin Wei and Anna from the edge of the building to the center of the rooftop to prevent them from being thrown off by the building that was shaking like building blocks. Chen Tianwu also came to his senses, gritted his teeth, and staggered to catch up in a hurry.

After all, the taller the building, the more violent the shaking caused by an earthquake - and this carefully selected building was, unfortunately, very tall; so it was understandable that it shook particularly violently.

"what happened?"

Lin Wei was bewildered and hadn't reacted in such a hurry.

Unlike the other people who had been staying in Manila and had experienced the earthquake for the second time in a short period of time, Lin Wei, who had returned to Manila after the collapse, was completely unprepared for the earthquake.

But then, Lin Wei also realized the seriousness of the matter.

It turned out that this sudden earthquake was even more violent than the last one. The building that had stood firm in the previous earthquake finally collapsed under the heavy burden of repeated violent shaking, trembling, and tearing.

Everyone felt empty and fell down. The sky suddenly darkened, obscured by smoke, dust and huge building debris.

"ah!!!"

The little girl's desperate screams were like a devil's sound, but they were still drowned out by the thunderous roar of the collapse, just like she herself was insignificant.

In an instant, everyone will be buried under the rubble of the building!

"whispering sound!"

Lin Wei cursed angrily.

The moment the ground collapsed again, he stretched out his hand and tightly wrapped it around Anna's waist, barely stopping her from falling; with his other hand, he swung out a long black chain without hesitation, which shattered the most threatening pieces of concrete debris as nimbly as a snake, and then tightly wrapped his arm around the waists of the other three people.

The holy mark on his back lit up slightly, and Lin Wei used all his strength to throw everyone high into the sky; but he himself fell even faster under the reaction force, and in an instant he was completely submerged by the wreckage of the building and the smoke and dust!

"Lin Wei! No!"

Anna, who was thrown high into the air, turned around with difficulty and happened to see this scene. She couldn't help but scream in sorrow, completely forgetting that her next fate was to be captured by gravity and fall to death.

"Zheng!"

A ray of cherry-red light flashed through the smoke and dust raised by the collapsed building, instantly shattering almost all the debris in sight, revealing Lin Wei, who was a little dusty but still unharmed.

"Tsk, that's really ugly!"

Lin Wei cursed fiercely, then without hesitation summoned a flying vehicle from under his feet, carried himself high into the sky, and picked up the four people one by one onto the aircraft.

"Wow! I was so scared..."

Anna checked Lin Wei's whole body in panic, then pursed her lips, threw herself into Lin Wei's arms, and burst into tears.

"Look, there!"

The aircraft flew hundreds of meters in the air, with an extremely wide field of vision. Chen Tianwu saw from afar that a black line seemed to appear on the horizon, which was getting thicker, larger, and clearer at a speed visible to the naked eye. With an extremely grim expression, he shouted,

"What was that? Was it a tsunami?"

At this moment, the nightmare seemed to be repeated!

Lin Wei looked in the direction of his finger, his expression extremely grim.

"What on earth did those idiots from Anti-Entropy do?"

………………

Thousands of miles away at the Tianming headquarters, the weather was sunny and the sky was clear.

"Woo!!!"

The alarm sounded again.
