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

Jie Er smiled and ended the topic.

"Anything else? If not, go back and rest up early. Take your friends out for a few days... Oh, you've only been here a short time, and I'm quite familiar with this area. Do you need me to recommend some worthwhile attractions or restaurants with unique cuisine?"

"want!"

A little earlier

Ninoy Aquino International Airport

"Tsk, Anti-Entropy's intelligence is really accurate..."

Lin Wei stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window of the terminal, looking out the window with a faint gaze, watching the Destiny transport ship slowly landing in the distance.

"Yuno is on that transport plane, right?"

In the original world line, Yuno should have died long ago, but now, she appears in this somewhat mysterious city as the Valkyrie of destiny.

"I didn't want to do it at all, but somehow I ended up in this city..."

Lin Wei said helplessly that the reason why he had to go on this journey was actually because of that girl he met by chance.

"Ying, do you think I'm asking for trouble?"

"...Based on the results, yes."

Yaezakura said,

"Could it be that Lin Weijun regrets it?"

"Regret? Not to the point of... saving a life, do you have to consider the pros and cons?"

Lin Wei smiled. The transport ship in the distance was blocked from view by another terminal.

"I did consider that doing this would have unpredictable consequences for the future...but I just wanted to do it, without considering anything else."

"After all, is there anyone in this world who is really born to die?"

Lin Wei turned and joined the vast crowd behind him, his tone grim.

"Oh, if that's the case, I'm afraid I'm the one who deserves to die the most!"

"...That's true. After all, I was also someone who deserved to die..."

Yaezakura smiled apologetically, and then asked,

"Lin Weijun, what are you going to do next?"

Lin Wei kept walking.

"The situation is unclear, so we'll wait and see."

Chapter 79: Bronya and Fu Hua

"Lin Weijun, has your presence been discovered?"

That night, on the way back from cherry blossom viewing, Yaezakura asked Lin Wei, who seemed a little pensive.

Tesla’s previous phone reminder was also due to this concern.

"That shouldn't be the case. Otherwise, the person who came should be Rita or Yulan Dell. They are Otto's most reliable helpers, aren't they?"

Lin Wei smiled and comforted her.

But no matter what, the "old friend" came to visit at this somewhat delicate time, which made Lin Wei unable to let it go.

Is it just a visit to a friend?

After all, I heard Anna say that she and Yuno are friends.

but……

The situation is unclear and we should not make any rash judgments.

"Let's go, Sakura. We'll find out the truth if we go and see for ourselves."

So, the next morning, Lin Wei changed his appearance and boarded a plane to the Philippines.

This time, in order to hide his tracks, he did not choose to buy tickets and board the plane in a formal way. Instead, he used the erosion key to tamper with the system and get away with it.

After all, "observation" is a relatively secretive behavior. It is best to come quietly, watch quietly, and finally leave quietly.

It should not be discovered by the person being observed, and it is best not to be discovered by other people, especially when you clearly feel that something is wrong.

"Observation" is also a relatively boring and time-consuming behavior, so it is not worth wasting space to describe it in detail.

The camera moves away first.

………………

Far East, Saint Freya Academy.

Bronya has been feeling empty and depressed these days.

It's just that she always has this expressionless face, showing no emotions, so the people around her didn't notice anything wrong with her. Only Bronya knew how confused she was inside.

The reason for all this is very simple - Lin Wei has lost contact again.

On the night of Mei's birthday, after a joyful party, everyone, exhausted, left the messy dormitory hall and returned to their rooms to enjoy a good sleep.

Bronya also left with them and returned to her room.

Then, he turned on the computer and logged into the game. Sure enough, Lin Wei was already waiting there.

"You're online quite late today?" Lin Wei asked.

After playing games together for several days, we have become very familiar with each other and are naturally not so reserved when talking.

"Well, it was my friend's birthday today, so we finished a little late."

Bronya tapped on the keyboard and answered truthfully.

"Oh. You must be very tired. Why don't you go to bed early?"

Bronya didn't say whose birthday it was, and Lin Wei wouldn't ask. The two of them had always tacitly limited their "friendship" to the scope of the game, and didn't ask anything else.

"No need, I'm in high spirits."

Bronya was surprisingly persistent on the issue of the game.

Having said that, what else is there to say? It's another "peak battle" of the Erasure Avenue.

"By the way, there's something I need to tell you."

After a fierce battle, before saying goodbye, Lin Wei sent a message:

"I have to leave for a few days for something, but I'm not sure how long. So I'm sorry, I won't be able to play games with you in the next few days..."

Although he didn't know why Bronya could put aside the past grudges and play games with him for such a long time every night; but since she was already expressing her goodwill in this way, Lin Wei felt that he couldn't just leave without saying goodbye.

Are you leaving again?

Upon seeing this news, Bronya felt an inexplicable panic in her heart, as if dawn was about to break and she was about to wake up from a dream.

"When are you coming back?"

The little hand typed a line of words on the keyboard, but she deleted it again after feeling the ambiguity and changed it to,

"What's going on? Do you need my help?"

Lin Wei had asked her for help twice, and she didn't mind helping for the third time as long as Lin Wei was still willing to play this somewhat childish little girl game with her.

"Ah, thank you. I don't think I'll need that for now."

Lin Wei replied. But after thinking about it, he felt that it was better not to say anything too final in advance, so he added,

"If you really need help, I won't hesitate to help you. I just hope you won't block me and refuse me."

Seeing this news, Bronya felt a little relieved and also made an explanation in advance.

"If it's something dangerous, I will certainly refuse."

Lin Wei looked at the time. It was almost time to set off. The instructions were almost completed.

"Haha, that's a deal. Let's play games together after I come back."

"See you."

"Goodbye."

Lin Wei’s ID avatar turned gray.

Bronya felt melancholy. Is he really gone?

After that, Bronya would still wait in front of the computer for a while every night, waiting for a certain ID avatar to light up, but every time she fell asleep in disappointment.

One day, two days, three days.

After several days of silence, Bronya couldn't help but want to check her system, wondering if the program was messed up and she was just hallucinating...

But alas, it's not.

There’s a saying that goes, “If I had never seen the light, I could have endured the darkness.”

Life at St. Freya's Academy certainly cannot be said to be dark. On the contrary, it is full of ordinary happiness and warm joy, which makes Bronya cherish every bit and every tree and blade of grass here.

If Lin Wei had not appeared, Bronya would probably have continued to live happily like this.

But Lin Wei suddenly appeared and unreasonably tore open the deepest and most painful wound in her heart, causing her to suffer heartbroken and painful to the bone once again.

His emotional circuit, which had long been dead, was once again burned by that unforgettable longing, feeling both cold and hot.

Then, Lin Wei, her only hope, disappeared once again...

This made Bronya feel abandoned again, sad and helpless.

Bronya was in an extremely low mood and even lost most of her interest in her favorite game.

If she didn't want her abnormality to appear too obvious, otherwise, the news that "Bronya doesn't like playing games anymore" would probably soon become the front-page headline that would shake up St. Freya's Academy.

In order not to make her companions worry about her, Bronya attended classes on time and completed her homework as usual; she also accepted Kiana's repeated and persistent challenges as usual, and crushed her ruthlessly as usual, and then watched her being dragged away by Mei in helplessness and rage.

She hid her emotions so well that almost no one noticed her abnormality.

"Bronya doesn't seem to be bickering with Kiana much these days?"

Fu Hua, who lived in the same dormitory with the trio, was very sensitive to some minor anomalies.

"It seems we should conduct a deeper investigation."

Fu Hua thought to herself that the feathers were only available a few times and could not be wasted easily, so she needed to find another entry point.

But it doesn’t matter. For the experienced Lord Fu Hua, “routines” are always easy for him.

"Bronya-san, I'm sorry to bother you..."

One day during the break, while Kiana was fast asleep on the table and Mei was diligently completing her second class notes, Fu Hua walked up to Bronya with a slightly embarrassed expression and sheepishly handed her her phone.

"My game... is stuck. There's a boss level I can't defeat... Could you please give it a try?"

Bronya looked up at Fu Hua's sincere expression in confusion. She didn't expect that this guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, who looked quite old-fashioned, was actually a game enthusiast?

She looked at the screen on her phone again. It was a very popular 3D action mobile game. She remembered the BOSS on the screen. The difficulty of the game had indeed caused many players to complain.

Bronya took the phone silently, then rubbed the glass for a while with a blank expression and nonchalant manner - she passed the test with full marks, and returned the phone to Fu Hua.

"Bronya-san is indeed extremely talented."

Fu Hua reached out to take it and boasted about it.

"Class monitor... do you like playing games too?"

Bronya asked curiously.

Playing games is not uncommon, but when it comes to squad leader Fu Hua, the contrast is a bit too big!

"Of course. After all, my classmates are all young people who love playing games. I can't let myself lose common topics with everyone, right?"

Fu Hua said as a matter of course, and then said goodbye sincerely,

"Class is almost time. Thank you, Bronya-san."

Bronya nodded thoughtfully and watched Fu Hua leave. She thought to herself, the class monitor is indeed a class monitor. She is obviously a star in the school, but she still maintains such humility.

A sense of admiration arises in my heart.
