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

Regarding this, Yu Duchen's clone, who was just one of the thousands of feathers, was powerless. All she could do was to barely protect Lin Wei's consciousness from the damage caused by the collapse before this.

Fortunately, at a crucial moment, Anna injected that precious serum into Lin Wei's body. This fresh force reversed the collapse of another line of defense that Fu Hua's clone was unable to reach. Lin Wei's rapidly increasing Honkai energy also nourished the equally exhausted Stigma. Yae Sakura, who had just awakened and barely recovered a trace of strength, hurriedly joined this powerful "reinforcement" to completely rescue Lin Wei's body from the erosion of Honkai...

From then on, the internal crisis was resolved, but the external crisis that reappeared was also beyond Yaesakura's control at that time.

So, she could only watch as Jier and Anna, like a relay, risked their lives one by one, just to get Lin Wei to a safe place.

Especially Anna.

After witnessing her desperate efforts along the way, even going to war with Yulan Dell in the end, even Yae Sakura, who had been a little unhappy about her sudden appearance, couldn't help but feel pity for her at this moment.

Thus, with the joint efforts of the four people inside and outside, they finally pulled Lin Wei back from the brink of death, and Youlan Dell took him away from that dangerous place;

And then inevitably came to another more dangerous place...

Just when Yae Sakura was at a loss and was even ready to use Pandora to fight to the death, Fu Hua's clone, who had been deep in Lin Wei's consciousness, took the initiative to touch another feather buried in her consciousness and proposed a new solution:

"The most important thing now is to buy time."

Fu Hua's feather clone said seriously,

"Whether it's restoring your strength or waiting for Lin Wei to wake up from his slumber, it will take a considerable amount of time. For this reason, it's not advisable to act rashly at this moment."

"Then what should we do?"

Yaezakura had no doubt that Fu Hua, who showed up in front of her, would have any ill intentions towards Lin Wei, so she took the initiative to ask.

"...The most important thing now is not to reveal the true nature of the Corrosion Key. Otto will never allow such a thing to exist."

Fu Hua's clone thought for a moment, and with the experience of her original body and Otto over the years, she quickly found a solution to the problem.

"Therefore, we have two things to do right now: First, hide Lin Wei's information so that Tianming and Otto don't discover any secrets he might have, especially the existence of the Divine Key. Second, based on this, we must provide some seemingly plausible false information to mislead Otto and allow him to get the wrong answer we want in his complacency."

"As long as Otto feels that he has initially obtained the answer he wants and only needs to conduct necessary verification, then we will have achieved our goal of buying time. The rest will have to wait until Lin Wei wakes up and he can figure it out himself."

Compared to her original body who was full of concerns, she, as a feather clone, was much more focused; after all, the purpose of this feather's existence, in addition to carrying a special memory, was only to protect Lin Wei at the critical moment.

So, adhering to this idea, relying on Fu Hua's clone's understanding of destiny and Otto, and under her careful guidance, Yae Sakura resolved the crisis in front of her with ease.

"Lin Weijun is right. Sometimes, the smarter a person is, the more likely they are to be misled by their own cleverness."

Seeing that Otto had come to a wrong conclusion based on the wrong premise and those wrong clues, Yae Sakura couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, loosened her grip on the hilt of the sword, and sighed softly.

"Now it seems that being a little foolish is not completely without benefits..."

……

Back to the present.

Yae Sakura slowly walked to the bedside and gently stroked Lin Wei's sleeping face, and the response of Fu Hua's clone when she heard her words emerged in her mind.

"How many people in this world aren't foolish? I still remember when I first met him, he said, 'I want to live, and I want others to live.'"

Fu Hua shook her head slightly, looked down at the sleeping Lin Wei, and said with some emotion,

"What a naive idea, but it was this naive idea that led him to do those foolish things; but it also inadvertently became the opportunity to start a series of subsequent stories."

"That's right."

Yaezakura was speechless for a moment.

She almost forgot that Fu Hua and Lin Wei met earlier than she did; in fact, if it weren't for her help, there would be no Yaezakura today.

"Even the original body would find it hard to imagine that a smart person like Lin Wei, after going through so much, would still hold on to the same beliefs as before. Isn't this just foolishness?"

Fu Hua's clone recalled the story that had not yet happened in Lin Wei's memory and shook her head.

"Compared to Otto, who thought he had a plan, but in fact pushed himself step by step into the abyss of being abandoned by everyone, and had to take a desperate gamble; Lin Wei's situation was completely different - he came from outer space, was born with nothing, and his situation was even more difficult. He was either struggling in a dead end or tossing and turning in difficult situations..."

"But despite this, he always found support from others when he was at his wit's end. Without this, even with his extraordinary intelligence, he would still be unable to move forward and would be helpless."

Speaking of this, Fu Hua sighed slightly. Wasn't she one of them?

"I don't know about the others. But for me, it was Lin Weijun who shattered the nightmares and curses of the past, allowing 'Yae Sakura' to see the light of day again."

Yaezakura shook her head and retorted,

"He didn't have to do this. He could have just sat back and watched my consciousness completely sink, and then more easily obtained a cleaner stigmata, but he did it anyway. He treated me this way, so I treat him this way - it's just that simple."

"Yes, it's that simple—it's because Lin Wei wanted more people to survive, and he personally made an effort, extending a helping hand to countless unrelated people. That's why when he was in trouble, this scene happened today: Miss Yaesakura, as well as Jier, Anna, and the others, all risked their lives to pull him back from the abyss and back into the sunshine..."

Fu Hua glanced at Lin Wei again and said,

"I think it's just like the old saying: 'Every sip and every bite is predestined; every orchid blossom and every fruit has its cause' - but unfortunately, Otto doesn't seem to understand this."

"It's not just others, isn't it the same for you, Miss Fu Hua?"

Yaesakura added with a smile.

"You should talk to the main character about this kind of thing."

Fu Hua's clone said calmly,

"I am just a clone condensed from feathers, responsible for completing the mission assigned by the original body."

……

While Yae Sakura was forcing herself to stay awake and wait in the stigmata space, in the real world outside, Lin Wei was finally sent out of the laboratory.

But he was not sent to Otto's old house in Klosten after all, because the laboratory was on the edge of the city, while the Apokalypse Mansion was in the very center, making transportation inconvenient.

Therefore, after consulting Otto again, Lin Wei was placed in a clean, tidy and beautiful room nearby. If there were any health problems, nearby medical staff could arrive in time to deal with them.

"..."

Youlan Dale stood motionless beside the bed, quietly watching Lin Wei who was sleeping soundly wrapped in the quilt. Looking at his steadily rising and falling chest and calm and peaceful face, his brows were slightly frowned, and it was unknown what he was thinking.

After a moment, she raised her head, turned around and left without saying a word, walked out of the room quietly, and no longer disturbed Lin Wei's rest.

In the stigmata space, Yae Sakura breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that everything had finally stabilized, but she couldn't stop feeling sleepy.

She sat down quietly, gave an apologetic smile to the little girl who had been waiting beside her and did not dare to disturb her thoughts at all, then she leaned her upper body on the couch, one hand loosely resting on Lin Wei's wrist, and fell into a deep sleep.

The long pink hair slowly slid down from the shoulders like falling cherry blossoms, and the two long furry ears also drooped down little by little, softly covering Lin Wei's chest, and fell asleep like its owner.

Seeing this, the little girl walked deeper into the room, stood on tiptoe to take a long dress from the hanger on the wall, gently covered Yaesakura with it, then tiptoed out of the room and carefully closed the door so as not to disturb the two people in the room.

………………

Destiny headquarters, floating island.

Otto took the new inspection report and then flipped over the report from last year. When he compared them, he felt a sharp pain in his teeth.

"Do you Herrschers of Reason just fill out your medical reports randomly?"

All the values ​​in the table have increased compared to last year, especially the "Honkai Resistance" column. Compared to last year's "0", the value in the new report is a bit outrageous.

There are not many people whose destiny is higher than his!

This is too much!

Then he sent it to Fu Hua, who was also confused.

"Is this Lin Weixin's medical report?"

Unlike Otto, she knew clearly that Lin Wei could not be Walter, and that was why she was even more shocked.

What on earth did that guy go through this year?

Seeing Fu Hua's confused face and blank eyes, Otto couldn't help but feel bored. He said a few perfunctory words and hung up the phone.

"Your Majesty Bishop."

Amber, who has been sticking to her post, reported,

"Communications in the Philippines have been restored. Lady Rita just sent a report that everything is going smoothly and we've begun a full-scale cleanup. Clearance work in the Oceania branch, Far East branch, and other peripheral battlefields is also nearing completion."

"Very good. Tell Rita to return to headquarters after the clearing mission is complete. There's no need to waste a dignified S-rank Valkyrie's time on a battlefield of that magnitude."

Otto said casually, he didn't take this kind of expected thing seriously.

"Also, Your Excellency, the testing department has made new discoveries."

After one task is completed, Amber immediately starts reporting on the next task.

"Deep in the South China Sea, at a certain coordinate, energy has been detected becoming active and slowly rising."

"Oh? It's actually there... Haha, just in time."

Otto only took a glance at the coordinates and knew where it was. After thinking about it, he decided to put the matter aside for the time being and simply gave the order,

"Continue to pay attention to the inspection, and don't worry about the rest. When the time is right, I will send someone to completely resolve the situation there."

"Yes."

"Also, keep an eye on that guest for me. If he wakes up, remember to notify me immediately so I can welcome him back."

"Yes."

No matter what the instructions are, Amber will always faithfully carry out the will of the Bishop without fail.

Chapter 218: Fleeing

After the second tsunami was quelled, there were no major changes in the war situation in the entire Philippines.

In the defense line built by Rita with the help of Lin Wei, Manila is the only coastal city and the first salient that needs to face the impact of the tsunami and the tide of Honkai beasts it carries.

After the tsunami was quelled by Lin Wei and the subsequent Honkai beast tide that landed was cleared out by Youlan Dell, this place seemed extremely calm and at ease, just like the battlefields in several other areas; what's more, there was a legitimate S-level Valkyrie like Rita in charge, and later with the addition of Yuno, a powerful and extremely destructive new force, the entire battle situation seemed unremarkable.

As time passed, nearly fifty Valkyrie teams mobilized by Destiny from all over the world, including the Immortal Blade, joined the battlefield one after another, and then a counterattack without any suspense officially began.

Actually, the word "fight back" is a bit far-fetched. After all, this piece of land has been severely affected by the Honkai Impact. Like other places ravaged by the Honkai Impact, it will no longer be suitable for human habitation for a long time to come. It is unknown how many years it will take for it to return to its original state.

But no matter what, victory is victory, even if it tastes so bitter for everyone.

This is especially true for the Snow Lotus Squad, which suffered heavy casualties in this war and now has less than one-third of its members remaining.

The companions who had been together day and night just a day or two ago, sharing snacks and happiness, and talking about the future and ideals, many of them have turned into cold corpses, and some have not even left their bodies. Such a tragic result makes this victory even more bitter and sad for the Valkyries of the Snow Lotus Team, like a huge stone, weighing heavily on everyone's heart.

When they saw Vice Captain Anna, who had been missing since the beginning of the Honkai outbreak, return safe and sound, it should have been a very happy thing. However, the bad news that followed was like an extremely heavy straw that completely broke the psychological defenses of these girls.

The captain died...

This sudden bad news caused these girls who always respected their captain to lose control and become confused for a short time. They all gathered around Anna and asked her about what happened in an emotional and almost questioning manner.

Anna, exhausted both physically and mentally, seemed to be begging for their forgiveness. She told her remaining companions everything that had happened since the moment the tsunami appeared, telling them every detail.

As a result, they became more sad and angry. Each of them forced themselves to hold on to their wounded or exhausted bodies, and angrily demanded revenge for their captain and all their dead companions.

So, Anna, who was also full of confusion and grief, and urgently needed to find a place to vent to temporarily forget the painful memories and incomprehensible things, led the remaining remnants of the Snow Lotus Squad and rushed to the forefront of the entire counterattack line without hesitation.

Their resolute will as if to die, and their extremely fruitful achievements along the way made all the other Valkyrie teams on the nearby battlefields look at them with awe; Rita, the highest commander on the battlefield, also sighed quietly, but did not stop them, but asked Yuno, who was acting alone, to go and help and take care of them.

Yuno, who hurriedly caught up, thought that the Valkyries of the Snow Lotus team would be like most of the other Valkyries and would not accept her so easily, and might even draw their hostility because of her unique fighting style. However, she did not expect that they would easily accept her as a member of their team and act together with her. This made Yuno, who was used to the identity of an "alien", a little uncomfortable for a while.

What also made her feel uncomfortable was Anna, who was almost her only good friend in destiny and perhaps her only good friend left in this world.

Anna used to be cheerful, enthusiastic, and outspoken. She always had a confident smile on her eyes and eyebrows, and she seemed to have endless energy.

But now, she seemed sadder and quieter. The familiar smile on her face was no longer there. Instead, her brows were always furrowed, and her lips were slightly pursed. She often lost herself in thought and daze alone. Sometimes, she would squeeze herself into a corner, helpless like an abandoned child...

Yuno didn't understand what she had been going through these days and why she suddenly changed so much.

"Anna, are you okay?"

When the battle was almost over and all that remained was to clean up the battlefield and search for possible survivors, Yuno finally found a chance to care about her good friend.

"Yuno, you're here?"

Anna, who was sitting in the corner, raised her head, sniffed, patted her face, gave her a quiet smile, and said in a relaxed tone,

"I'm just a little tired. Let me rest here for a while. Don't worry. Come, sit down too..."

As she said that, she moved her butt to the side to make room for Yuno and motioned her to sit next to her.

Yuno sat down silently, sitting close to Anna, and said,

"I am worried about you."

She was a little clumsy with her words and didn't know how to express her worry, so she just said it bluntly.

In the past, facing Yuno's clumsy concern, Anna might have laughed out loud; but now she didn't. She just smiled comfortingly, shook her head lightly, and changed the subject to ask,

"The operation here is over. Shouldn't you be heading back to headquarters?"

"Well, we'll be leaving soon, going back with Vice Captain Rita and the others."
