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

“…Hehe…hahahaha…”

Lin Wei burst into laughter again.

"Aponya, Aponya, so you've been doing such stupid things all along? No wonder you're so unpopular... Hahahahaha!"

Trying to interfere with the predetermined future only brought about worse consequences in the end - isn't this the stupid thing that Aponya has always done and is also the stupid thing that he is doing now?

Lin Wei once again started talking nonsense that no one could understand.

"Lin Wei, what nonsense are you talking about! I don't understand what you mean by should or shouldn't!"

Everyone else was frightened and at a loss by Lin Wei's almost crazy look; only Anna grabbed Lin Wei's arm regardless and refuted loudly,

"Just do whatever you want to do, and don't let yourself regret it. Your eyes can deceive you, your ears can deceive you, but your heart can't deceive you... That's what you told me. You told me not to deceive myself, and I've remembered that. Do you want to deceive yourself too? You always say I get stuck in a rut, but looking at you now, how can you be any better than me?"

"Lin Wei, you're a greedy guy, always trying to have the best of both worlds; always cautious, afraid of hurting anything. I know all this, don't treat me like a fool! How could someone like you be so cold-blooded? Even if the facts are really as you said, even if you could turn back time, you would definitely make the same decision as you do now, otherwise you wouldn't be yourself!"

This long and passionate speech left Lin Wei stunned. Is this the kind of line that a silly girl like Anna could utter?

Director, did you get the wrong script?

“…I didn’t expect to be taught a lesson by a silly girl like you.”

Lin Wei was silent for a moment, then said seriously,

"Thank you, though."

"Huh? Uh... No, it's okay... You're welcome..."

Seeing that Lin Wei had calmed down, Anna's courage instantly receded. Her face turned red and she became incoherent.

"Vice-Captain Anna is right. What happened has already happened. There's no point in making any more assumptions here."

Jie Er took over the conversation and said seriously,

"Regardless of the situation, Mr. Lin Wei was able to come to our aid in this critical moment. This friendship will be forever remembered by our entire Snow Lotus team."

“…That’s not necessary.”

Lin Wei humbly said something, and then turned the topic back on track.

"Rita and the others don't have our good vision. Now that communications are cut off, I'm afraid they won't be able to detect the impending danger in time. This will easily lead to chaos if they're caught off guard..."

"Then let's quickly meet up with them and inform Rita and the others of this news!"

Anna calmed down after hearing this, raised her head quickly, and said anxiously,

"With our participation and early preparation, we can increase our chances of winning!"

It has to be said that this was a fairly reasonable suggestion, but Lin Wei remained noncommittal.

"Ms. Jier, based on your experience, which tsunami is more severe, this one or the last one? After all, even the earthquake was more severe than the last one. I still don't dare to rely on any luck with this tsunami..."

Lin Wei pointed to the river in the distance that ran through the entire city of Manila and was still flowing quietly at this moment, and said calmly,

"If a massive wave sweeps countless Honkai beasts from the sea upstream, directly destroying and drowning the area held by Team Snow Lotus...if that happens, even if Rita is powerful, she will be powerless to prevent the collapse of the defense line!"

Everyone was depressed after hearing this and could only turn their last hope to Jier, hoping to get a more optimistic answer.

"...It's too far away. I can't see it from here just by looking."

Jie Er's answer was even more disappointing.

"But, after all, the situation is dangerous, we can't afford to gamble..."

"Really? I understand."

Lin Wei seemed extremely calm.

After thinking for a while, he looked at the towering water wall in the distance that was getting closer and more terrifying. Without any warning, he began to descend the aircraft rapidly, and landed steadily on the devastated ground, and then put the aircraft away.

"Lin Wei?"

Anna was a little confused.

"Ha, you're lucky, Captain Jier, your motorcycle wasn't buried under the rubble!"

Lin Wei saw from a distance that the motorcycle that had brought them here had fallen to the ground, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Could you please check if it's broken? It would be great if it's not. I have a plan that requires it..."

Although Jie Er didn't know what Lin Wei was talking about, he knew that he wouldn't do anything meaningless, so he quickly ran over and carefully lifted up the damaged motorcycle. He started the engine smoothly and skillfully checked the oil circuit and various systems amid the roar of the engine. Then he slowly rode it over, gently stroking the front of the motorcycle, and said with some emotion,

"It's really a lucky guy. This is the second time, but it's still intact... Oh, still intact."

Looking at the somewhat messy car body, she swallowed the word "damageless".

"Really? That's great. My plan is simple—divide the troops into two groups."

Lin Wei spoke concisely about his plan.

"As long as we stop the wave midway and don't let the rear defense line face the first wave directly, we will give them ample time to respond, whether they retreat and regroup, or hold their ground, so they won't be caught off guard and put in a precarious position right from the start."

After a pause, he continued,

"And seeing the tsunami land, they're bound to panic. So, another team needs to pass on this news to Rita and the others; let them know what we can do and what they should do now. By the way..."

Lin Wei glanced at the Chen brothers and sisters who had been waiting silently by the side without making a sound, and said with a smile,

"And by the way, let's get these two to a safe place. Although using a motorcycle is a bit risky, there's no better means of transportation right now, so let's just make do with it."

Anna was right, she was a greedy and shameless person who wanted everything.

His bizarre plan, which was like "putting an elephant in a refrigerator", stunned both Jier and Anna - how could it be possible to stop the tsunami halfway?

"Could it be... you want to use the Key of God again?"

Anna was the first to react. She thought of what Lin Wei had done when they left the underground of Coral Island. She suddenly became emotional and shouted,

"Do you know what you're saying? You're going to die!"

Lin Wei was in a mess as if he had lost half his life even though he had only cleared a path through the static and harmless sea water; not to mention facing such a terrifying tsunami that contained who knows how much Honkai energy and Honkai beasts, and blocking it out?

With Lin Wei's physique, how could he possibly afford such a price?

"No, I don't agree!"

But Lin Wei seemed extremely indifferent at this moment. He didn't even look at her. Instead, he turned to look at Jie'er, who was still in a daze, digesting the information.

"Ms. Jie'er, I need a guide."

Lin Wei said seriously,

"Everyone knows their own business. I can't completely stop such a huge tsunami. The most I can do is create a hole to protect the fan-shaped area centered on me from the first wave. I can't do anything about places further away."

"So, I need you to help me choose the most suitable location so that I can not only ensure that Rita and the others are not threatened, but also ensure that Anna will not be affected during the evacuation."

Jier is a local boss in Manila. With her familiarity with the city, she is the perfect choice for a guide.

"what?"

Anna was furious when she heard that Lin Wei had even assigned specific tasks.

"You want me to abandon you and run away like a deserter? Impossible!"

"You're not alone. You have to take this brother and sister away. Your mission is very heavy, Anna."

Lin Wei wanted to comfort her, but when she saw Anna's eyes blazing with murderous fire, she immediately changed her mind and said to Jie Er,

"She's your subordinate, so I'd better not interfere. I'll just trouble Miss Jie'er to give the orders for me..."

"...Mr. Lin Wei, you really know how to pass troublesome things on to others."

As soon as Jier looked up, she saw Anna's murderous gaze locked on her, and she couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Hehe, sorry. Who made me an asshole?"

Lin Wei laughed and wiped the spit in his face.

"These kinds of things are minor issues, but..."

Jie Er looked into Lin Wei's eyes seriously, trying to find a definite answer.

"Mr. Lin Wei, are you sure?"

"I don't know how confident I am..."

Lin Wei sighed, gently stroked the warm cane in his hand, and spoke the truth.

"But, right now, there's no one else who can do the same thing except me."

"If I don't go, who else can?"

Before he finished speaking, Anna suddenly pounced and snatched the cane from his hand, shouting angrily,

"Don't be so self-righteous. The Shaniyat family is still here, so why should you be the hero? It's just the Key of God, I can use it too!"

"Ugh……"

Lin Wei looked at her with some pity, shook his head and said,

"If you look closely, it's just a knife."

"Varied……"

Anna then realized that the object in her hand was not right. She quickly looked down and realized that what she had snatched was not a cane at all, but a long sword with an ancient shape and full of Eastern style.

"Didn't I tell you? Pandora's is a black box."

Lin Wei stretched out his hand, and a black box rested quietly in his hand.

"I also said that only I can use it. So, it has to be me..."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Jier again and said,

"Ms. Jie'er, time is running out, we..."

"Zheng!"

Anna was stubborn and without a word, she drew out the magic sword and put it on her neck, gritting her teeth and shouting,

"Lin Wei, you self-righteous bastard! If you dare say another word, I'll die in front of you!"

"Anna, you..."

"The Valkyrie of Destiny is still alive, so how can you, a guy of unknown origin, be the hero?"

"If you insist on being a hero, I'll be with you! If you're in danger, I'll save you! Even if you're desperate and have to die, it's okay, I'll die with you!"

"If you insist on abandoning me, that's fine..."

Anna pressed the blade tightly against her neck and let out the most stubborn and rebellious cry in her life.

"At worst, I'll wait for you up front!"

Chapter 201: Emotion and Responsibility

The Shaniyat family is always like this - they are generally very simple and stick to what they believe in.

But the opposite of simplicity is that people are often stubborn and their sudden decision-making often exceeds everyone's expectations.

Just like Cecilia during the Second Collapse—even Otto, who had nurtured her, had not anticipated that she would resort to such treasonous means to protect Siegfried's life;

For example, Anna's outburst at this moment exceeded everyone's expectations...

She held the stolen magic sword tightly against her neck, her lips tightly pursed, and her injured eyes stared at Lin Wei, but she refused to give in, as if she was going to use it to cut her throat in the next second.

Lin Wei's face turned ugly for a moment.

He could never have imagined that Anna, who had always been well-behaved and obedient, would actually threaten him in this way.

He himself hated being threatened, and was both angry and disappointed at the same time. He immediately planned to use the Key of God to take her down.

As for the future? We'll talk about it later!

But just as this idea was going around in his mind, before he could put it into action, he was interrupted by the silent child's voice next to him.

"Sister Anna, don't be impulsive!"

The little girl broke free from her brother's arms and ran to Anna. She grabbed the corner of her clothes, raised her anxious face full of doubts, and asked anxiously,

"Sister Anna, haven't you and Brother Lin Wei always been close? Why did it suddenly become like this?"

In the little girl's remaining world, her brother, Anna who saved her from despair, and Lin Wei who helped her find her brother, are the last three pillars supporting her hope in life; so she especially doesn't want anything bad to happen between them again.

"Sister Anna, let's be fine, okay?"
