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

He saw that the whole room was cleaned very cleanly, and the bed where he had just been lying had at least five layers of bedding, which was so soft that he could almost sink into it.

It was obvious that some thought had gone into it, and Lin Wei couldn't help but express her gratitude for it.

Otherwise, according to Fu Hua's casual personality, she would even be so open-minded that she would dare to walk around the downtown area wearing only a shirt, barefoot and a hood as if no one was around.

Simply breathtaking.

In Lin Wei's opinion, if Fu Hua were to prepare a temporary residence for him, she would probably just want someone to lie down there, without caring whether the board under him was hard or soft, and would not even consider the issue of comfort.

"It doesn't matter, it's easy."

Fu Hua waved her hand and calmly changed the subject. Then she directly asked the question she was concerned about.

"How is the Herrscher? What happened just now?"

She knew very well that Lin Wei could not eliminate the Herrscher's consciousness, so Lin Wei could only have reached some kind of agreement with her, and she needed to assess the risks involved.

Even though she had just had a close encounter with this Herrscher and had a general understanding of her;

Even if he is just a crippled Herrscher who has been lingering on for 50,000 years.

But a Herrscher is a Herrscher after all, an apostle of Honkai, and she cannot afford to be careless.

She did not take off the scarlet sword that had been hanging on her waist, nor did she return it to Lin Wei. She wanted to understand the whole process first before making a decision.

Is to return the demon sword to Lin Wei and end this unexpected journey;

Or choose to use it to kill Lin Wei and destroy the Herrscher along with him.

Fu Hua was waiting for Lin Wei's answer, and also waiting for her own judgment.

This is the most balanced choice that Fu Hua can make between "friends" and "mission" now.

Lin Wei smiled slightly. He understood Fu Hua's doubts, and it was his duty to dispel her doubts.

So he took a step forward calmly, opened his arms, closed his eyes, raised his head gently, and breathed slowly - the answer is here, come and see.

The speed of thinking is lightning fast, comparable to the speed of light, but in the outside world, it is only a short ten minutes.

Just reading this short moment of memory will not cause any burden to Fu Hua's body.

Seeing that Lin Wei was not shy about it, Fu Hua nodded slightly, feeling relieved.

Then she raised her hand, and a pink feather slowly fell. She wanted to verify the other half herself.

A gentle glow slowly lit up between the two of them, and after a moment it gradually returned to calm.

They both opened their eyes at the same time.

Lin Wei smiled without saying anything. He really wanted to see Fu Hua's expression after she knew the truth. This was one of his many bad tastes.

Fu Hua's expression was indeed a little bit unbearable. She stared at Lin Wei angrily.

"Lin Wei, are you crazy?"

It wasn't a question, but an angry rebuke.

She didn't understand why she was so angry, but she really felt angry, and also, scared?

But she didn't understand why she felt frightened.

She only knew that this fear made her anger more intense.

"You are just a human, even just an ordinary human from another world, and you have never even come into contact with Honkai. How dare you fight the Herrscher head-on? Do you know what a Herrscher is? Do you know how big the gap between you and the Herrscher is?"

"No, you know! You still dare to do such a thing... Lin Wei, you are really a lunatic! How dare you? You are so brave!"

It was as if he was shouting out from his heart, a rant of anger at his friend’s crazy behavior;

It was like a question squeezed out from between teeth, which was unreasonable to a madman;

There is even a kind of bone-chilling disappointment towards the arrogant people.

——She didn't want to see another Otto, and she didn't intend to consider someone like Otto as a friend.

"But I succeeded, didn't I?"

Lin Wei put away his smile, sighed, and defended himself with a wry smile.

The atmosphere was a bit tense. Lin Wei took a step back on his own initiative. After looking around, he sat back on the soft bed, and even lay down, sighing "Ouch".

He stroked the soft quilt, closed his eyes and murmured,

“This is what it feels like to be alive…”

Then Lin Wei suddenly sat up and looked directly at Fu Hua, putting away all his laughter and looking serious.

"Fu Hua, let me ask you, if you were in my position, your resistance to Honkai energy would be zero, and even breathing air would be poisoned by the tiny amount of Honkai energy inside. The Honkai energy would erode and spread day by day, and you would be alone and helpless. If it were you, would you just close your eyes and wait for death?"

"I don't like the feeling of licking blood on the blade at all. I even have to fight with the Herrscher to risk my life. Do you think I am willing to do this? That is the Herrscher. To a mortal like me, she is a god! I am as humble as an ant in front of her. It would be easier for the Herrscher to kill me than to kill a mosquito!"

Lin Wei felt his tone getting higher and his emotions getting more excited, but he didn't want to sound like he was accusing or lecturing, which was not the right attitude to have when talking to a friend.

So he took a deep breath, relaxed his tense nerves, relaxed his waist, and sat in a less upright position, then sighed and smiled bitterly again.

"But I have no choice. I don't want to die silently like this! I want to live, and this is the only choice. Fu Hua, I have no choice..."

"I must defeat her. This is my only way to survive. Even if it means a hundred deaths, I must fight. I must do my best and use whatever means to defeat her. This is also because I have no choice."

He sighed again, his tone somewhat pleading.

"Originally, I just wanted to find a quiet, undisturbed, safe place to live a good life."

"But I have no choice. Fu Hua, I hope you can understand..."

He also didn't want to lose this person who was almost his only friend in the world.

But he didn't blame Fu Hua, because the last time they were so hostile was when they first met, and he had ulterior motives towards Fu Hua at that time.

Even if you had no choice but to do it, you did it anyway, so you should bear the consequences now.

Because Fu Hua had no obligation to pay for herself from the beginning, but she still did it. So I need to give the most honest explanation for all of this.

This is respect for each other.

Fu Hua has been observing Lin Wei quietly. She feels that Lin Wei's various complex and different behaviors are just superficial disguises. In fact, her inner soul is extremely pure, so simple that one can see through it at a glance, as simple as an innocent child.

But it was a little too simple, and Fu Hua was unsure. She couldn't tell whether this was Lin Wei's sincerity or he was acting again?

Or is it a put-together, sincere performance?

This is this guy's specialty!

Even the Herrscher was fooled by him, and Fu Hua felt that she needed to be more vigilant.

"Really? Your performance of diverting trouble was truly brilliant!"

Fu Hua was half sarcastic and half teasing.

You let the Herrscher vent all his hostility and grievances on me. Do you really think I can't see it? I guessed it when I tied the Herrscher up there and observed him!

This guy is quite scheming.

But Fu Hua eventually dispelled a lot of her vigilance against Lin Wei, because Lin Wei's weak body could not pose any threat at all. The so-called "diverting trouble to others" was simply Lin Wei's clever way of avoiding being beaten, and there was no malice in it.

Moreover, he did defeat the Herrscher and awakened Ling's humanity. Isn't this the best ending?

What's more...

Fu Hua couldn't help but reach out and stroke the magic sword that Lin Wei had given her, which was hanging around her waist, as well as his "last words" -

"If I fail, kill me with it."

This guy was indeed fully prepared. He minimized the possible harm and then took a chance to survive. It was that simple.

She also remembered that Lin Wei had chosen to give up before, only because he realized that there were flaws in his plan and it would pose a threat to himself and others.

She witnessed Lin Wei's entanglement and struggle with her own eyes. After all, this was a choice between life and death.

This was also the first time she truly saw Lin Wei's profound kindness and sincerity, and she really wanted to lend a hand to him.

Before that, I just abide by the agreement and complete the transaction, just like myself and Otto.

She thought of more.

Thinking about the source of his acquaintance with Lin Wei, the report that Otto gave him, and the strange person recorded in the report.

A person who had clearly pulled himself out of the vortex and was hiding quietly, exposed himself to Otto's sight because of spreading some very strange online rumors.

"Because I want to live and I want others to live. It's ridiculous, right?"

She recalled what Lin Wei said when she confessed her feelings in front of her, as well as her weak but never humble attitude towards life.

She recalled Lin Wei's sigh after she said all this.

"Kindness always pays off..."

Yes, if Lin Wei had not done those ridiculous but well-intentioned actions, exposing him to the sight of destiny and entering his own sight, he would have had a chance to survive.

Is it a coincidence? Fu Hua thought, maybe good things will be rewarded.

Then, Fu Hua realized that when she judged Lin Wei, she had unconsciously been thinking in a positive direction. Even if this kind of thinking could continue, she felt that it was no longer necessary.

This tendency is itself an answer.

She smiled slightly, untied the scarlet magic sword from her waist, pulled out a section and looked at it carefully, then put the sword back into the sheath and solemnly returned it to Lin Wei.

"This is a precious sword, and it contains extraordinary power. But it is too heavy with killing, and is infected with a deep ominous aura. So even though you carry it, you must never unsheathe it easily, otherwise the killing intent may affect your mind."

Fu Hua paused as she spoke, as if she remembered that the man in front of her seemed to have a strong will? In other words, he could beat the Herrscher to the point of losing his temper.

His thoughts were a little strange, and he continued to add,

"…Moreover, you are physically weak, your strength is too limited, and you have never practiced martial arts or sword techniques. Therefore, it is difficult for you to control this sword now. If you use it rashly, you may hurt yourself before hurting the enemy."

"I think you're overthinking it, Fu Hua. With my character, do I still want to hurt others?"

Lin Wei was very confident about himself and interrupted. He felt Fu Hua's kindness, so he acted casually.

What a good climber!

Fu Hua complained in her heart, but her face remained serious.

This is the kind of personality she has: rich inner world, strong will, methodical and methodical behavior, and extremely strict with herself.

Over time, they look quite old-fashioned, serious and difficult to approach.

But in fact, she is still a young girl at heart, and her color remains bright and unfaded despite 50,000 years of wind and rain.

Lin Wei listened to Fu Hua's earnest teachings, and then couldn't help but blurt out a question,

"The Land of the Afterlife, do you want to go with me?"

In fact, Lin Wei already had the answer in his mind, but he still wanted to give Fu Hua a chance to choose.

Fu Hua was stunned, then silent for a long time. She opened her mouth to speak, but finally stopped and just shook her head.

As expected, she still refused.

Lin Wei sighed in his heart. He had always had a guess, and now this guess was confirmed.

More than 40,000 years after the fall of the previous civilization, the surviving Yingjie revived in the hibernation chamber and walked the land of the new era as a pioneer.

But for thousands of years, whether it was Kevin, Su, or Hua, even the innocent Grayshu who traveled far into the starry sky and turned back halfway,

They all tacitly agreed not to return to the paradise of the past, not even once.

Maybe I don’t want to disturb the peace of my former companions, or maybe I don’t want them to worry about my current self.

Or maybe it's just because I'm homesick.

In short, they all tacitly agreed not to mention this place again.

Perhaps, that paradise of the past is like a symbol of "home" for the heroes who survived to the new generation, and they need to protect it carefully.

But I can never go back to that home.

It belongs only to the heroes of the old era, but not to the pioneers of the new era.

Even though Fu Hua had forgotten everything, after careful consideration, she also declined Li Lin Wei's kindness.

"There is something I would like to ask you for help with."

Fu Hua then made a request. She stretched out her hand and summoned a feather.

"I read some information about the future from your memory. This is not a good thing for me now. So I decided to remove this part of the memory and let you keep it for me. When everything is over in the future, or the future has completely changed and this information is no longer important, you can return it to me at that time."

Lin Wei was a little surprised. He was not surprised that Fu Hua would make this decision, but he was surprised that Fu Hua would give him such deep trust, which even made him feel flattered.
