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

No matter how painful it is, you must relax and breathe. Even if life is worse than death, you must relax and breathe.

You must relax your breathing, control your heartbeat, ensure adequate oxygen, and stay conscious.

You must remind yourself all the time.

……

It felt like a year had passed before Lin Wei regained consciousness.

The trembling arms contracted and the hands were retracted. They had lost all feeling and were uncontrollable as if they were dead, but they were still their own.

Lin Wei pulled out the bandage, bit each finger with his teeth and bandaged them carefully, then he gathered up the last bit of his strength, lowered his body and quickly ran back to the bedroom, fell asleep on the bed.

Can’t go to the hospital! Absolutely can’t go to the hospital! This is the first thing Lin Wei is sure of.

The hospital cannot cure Honkai disease, only Destiny, Anti-Entropy, and World Snake can, but they will not save you, so it is best not to have any expectations of them.

Tianming didn't care about the person Anna, the daughter of the Shanyiat family, rescued with her own hands. That was the child of destiny who survived the collapse. Her value was immeasurable, but she was abandoned just like that. Tianming's cold-bloodedness is unimaginable.

Reversing entropy may be possible, or it may not be possible at all. After all, even Cocolia had to ask for help from the World Serpent in order to save her daughter who was corroded by Honkai.

As for the World Snake? Oh, Lin Wei, are you worthy?

Even if Chen Tianwu was just transformed into a robot that was neither human nor ghost, it would be better to die than to live like this.

You don't even deserve the chance to become a monster. The world serpent's cold eyes, always looking upward, will never lower their eyes to look at you.

If you go to the hospital, you will immediately attract the attention of Saint Freya who is nearby. The kind-hearted Principal Theresa may try to save you, but it is more likely that she is simply unable to do anything. The school infirmary can save Himeko, the Valkyrie, but it may not be able to save a time traveler with negative resistance to Honkai energy.

Theresa is kind, no doubt about it, and she will never give up her kindness, no doubt about it. Therefore, she may send you to the headquarters to save you.

Do you want to gamble that the Destiny Headquarters will do their best to treat you? Or do you want to gamble that the academy not far away can really save you?

Lin Wei made the decision instantly without any consideration.

My life may be as humble as a moth, but I will never hand over the decision of my destiny to others!

More than a month had passed since the impact that day, and the bloody wounds on his hands had long since healed. Lin Wei could even get along calmly with the erosion of the collapse, and could even appreciate the beauty of the patterns formed by these lines.

He drew a line on his shoulder socket. If the collapse ever reached this point, he would abandon all his fantasies and run to Saint Freya for help as quickly as possible. This was his last choice.

But before that, he began to thank himself for his previous reckless behavior that overestimated his own capabilities, which might bring him a new way of life, or another gamble.

Lin Wei was lying on the table, writing today's diary. He had developed the habit of writing a diary every day since the first day he discovered the erosion of Honkai.

The content of your diary can be whatever you want. You can just write a daily account. If you really have nothing to write, you can just record the day's income and expenditure bills.

After I finished writing, I stopped and read it carefully. Then I read through the diary from the back to the front, page by page, day by day, carefully reading every day of the past day, as if I was re-experiencing my mental journey over the past few days.

This is also a habit he has developed during this period of time. Every time he finishes writing a diary, he will read it again in its entirety, and he will also flip through it and read a few pages from time to time at other times.

It seems like a waste of time, and it is indeed a waste of time.

But only he himself understands the significance of his actions.

I closed the diary and it was already late at night.

Lin Wei closed his eyes and calmed his heartbeat which had started to surge since he didn't know when.

finally come.

He originally thought that he could face anything calmly, but at this moment he realized that he was wrong. Boom, boom, boom, his heart was beating so hard that he couldn't control it at all.

Like a little boy facing his first love, like a graduate checking his college entrance examination scores, like a job seeker pushing open the door to an application, like a death row inmate awaiting the judgment of fate.

Lin Wei let out a long breath, relaxed the stiff muscles on his face, revealed a decent smile, and tried his best to make his voice sound less trembling——

"Finally, you're here. Is this the legendary Eighth God's Key, or the First God's Key? I don't think a nobody like me is worthy of Bishop Otto's personal visit, right?"

There is no one in front of me, behind me, or around me. The room is empty, and I am the only one there.

Lin Wei lives alone, and there is no one in his bedroom, living room, kitchen, or bathroom, but he still said that.

His voice was very soft, as if he was talking to himself, and as if he was sure of victory, but only he knew that he did this just because he didn't want the trembling of his voice to be too obvious.

Time passed minute by minute, and the room remained quiet, with no change.

Lin Wei was also very quiet, he was waiting. The waiting time seemed very long, so long that Lin Wei felt like he was being too sentimental, but he firmly believed that his method was effective, so he continued to wait.

I don’t know how much time had passed before the stagnant time started flowing again.

A feather slowly fell in front of Lin Wei's eyes. He opened his eyes and it was still dusk. He was still looking at St. Freya's Academy in the distance.

In front of him, a tall girl in a blue martial arts uniform stood there, staring at Lin Wei, puzzled.

"How did you find out?"

Chapter 4: This world is not beautiful at all QAQ

"I am truly flattered that the Bishop would condescend to personally contact a mere A-rank Valkyrie in the next district."

Fu Hua's expression and tone were as calm as usual. She said words that seemed to be flattering, but they were actually undisguised sarcasm.

"Why? Is it because too many A-rank Valkyries died in your inhumane experiments, and there is no one left to use?"

I don't know how many dirty things I have done for the other party over the years, so no matter how dirty the man on the other side of the Natural Way communicator is, he can still put on a happy smile on that disgusting face.

Because of this, Fu Hua hated his hypocrisy so much.

But personal emotions never affect Fu Hua's rationality, and she always performs the tasks assigned by others perfectly.

Otto knew this very well, so he never cared.

What's more, she has already grasped the opponent's weakness firmly in her own hands, so Fu Hua will know what she should do.

"Isn't it because of the voluntary dedication of these respectable Valkyries that Destiny has become what it is today? You should not be hostile to me, but respect them instead."

Otto laughed and stated his defense. However, the emphasis he placed on the words "initiative" and "respect" seemed to be stating the opposite fact.

He didn't care at all.

Fu Hua was unmoved. She was waiting for Otto to explain his purpose.

She didn't believe that Otto would come to her house for no reason.

"Don't be nervous, my old friend. K423 has just been recovered, and the experiment is still in the preparation stage. It's not the time for you to start being alert, even if she still has another unexpected surprise with her."

Otto spoke slowly, as if what he was saying was not important at all. He just gave his blessing, "Enjoy your rare vacation. The enthusiasm of young people is a good medicine to soothe tired hearts. The wonderful campus life is always something we yearn for and miss, isn't it?"

Fu Hua frowned slightly, wondering how long would the nonsense last.

She didn't believe Otto had any good intentions.

"Okay, okay, let's change the subject." Otto said helplessly, and then changed the subject and got to the point, "Rita recently sent me some very interesting information, and I want you to help me investigate it."

"On the eve of the third collapse, some rumors about Changkong City suddenly appeared on the Internet. The intention may be a fantasy to drive people away in this way, or it may be to simply cause chaos, but it doesn't matter. As you know, the collapse of Changkong City was artificially caused by Anti-Entropy, and the purpose is unknown. This is inconsistent with their past behavior patterns. Combined with the online rumors that appeared almost at the same time, Rita believes that it may be related to the recent factional struggle of Anti-Entropy, but I see another different possibility after reading the intelligence."

Otto said as he sent a piece of summarized information to Fu Hua's personal terminal.

It is about Lin Wei's resume, ID photos, life photos, his birthday, his parents' birth and death years, his education and work experience, where he has lived, as well as transportation records, consumption records, communication records, etc.

Everything seems so ordinary, and so do all living beings.

Fu Hua frowned as she looked at the highlighted pieces of information while listening to Otto's talk. She could also tell that Lin Wei's behavior was too abnormal.

Intelligence shows that this person suddenly called all his relatives and friends within half a month to a month before the collapse, resigned and disposed of all his property, as if he suddenly received some information and fled in a hurry.

And his past experiences were so ordinary that it was impossible for him to know the existence of Honkai;

The destination of his last traffic record happened to be Saint Freya where he was. He then cancelled all his communication accounts and seemed to be silent.

This person escaped from the center of the storm just before the Honkai broke out, and arrived at St. Freya's Academy just before K423 and the Third Herrscher. Everything was done just right in advance, placing himself at a safe time point where he would not be suspected.

After all, it's hard to doubt an ordinary person who lived here before everything happened. Isn't it?

But with such a perfect start, this person exposed himself in such a ridiculous way without any doubt, even attracting the attention of Otto himself.

This is so abnormal and it is hard to understand the motivation behind his behavior.

Could it be that he simply saw the impending collapse disaster and felt guilty, so he chose to use this obscure method to give a subtle warning?

How can it be!

Fu Hua scoffed at her own ridiculous idea and digested the information silently. The conclusion she came to was almost the same as Rita's.

"Since he is not from the Destiny, then he can only be from Anti-Entropy. Anti-Entropy has been fighting fiercely in recent years, so it is not impossible that someone would want to cause trouble for the hostile faction."

Fu Hua pushed her glasses. She knew her conclusion must be wrong. Otto's communication was proof that he must have information that she didn't know.

Otto was not disappointed with the result. The woman he was communicating with had long forgotten everything.

Maybe something interesting will happen. Otto curled his lips slightly, feeling quite pleased with his bad thoughts.

"The intelligence Rita obtained while tracking down the Second God Key is of inestimable value, and some of it vaguely points to a mysterious organization."

"Just like China has its own myths and heroic stories, many places in the world also have their own myths and heroic epics." Otto said to Fu Hua, who was a little dazed, in a serious tone, sticking to the facts.

"A lot of intelligence proves that behind these myths are hidden a mysterious organization, an organization older than Destiny that also has the legacy of pre-civilization. It is hidden deep enough that it has almost merged with human history. It was not until now, because of the Second God's Key, that we accidentally got a glimpse of it."

"This person's behavior is beyond the reach of Anti-Entropy and Destiny. After all, it would be ridiculous to explain this person's behavior with factional struggles. If one faction of Anti-Entropy is desperate enough to use online rumors to attack the other faction, then their internal struggle is almost over. But intelligence shows that this is not the case. The two factions are fighting fiercely."

Otto was amazed. "How interesting! Was Walter killed by his own people? He actually let his subordinates kill each other like this."

"Therefore, I do not think this person is anti-entropy, so other possibilities must be taken into consideration."

"Is this a demonstration to me, showing that everything in the world is under their control, or are they also very interested in my Second Herrscher?"

"The experiment of the Second Herrscher is about to begin. K423 concerns the future of Destiny and must not be lost. And I, Otto Apokalis, am determined to obtain the Second God's Key, which must not be lost either." Otto's tone gradually became fierce.

Then his tone turned gentle again, as if the ferocity just now was an illusion, "This person is obviously just a chess piece that was deliberately exposed. Obviously, he has no more value, but I still hope that you can investigate for me and see if you can dig out more valuable things."

Back to the present.

Fu Hua sat on the sofa in the living room, looking at Lin Wei who was obviously a little uneasy, and glanced at the tea he made for her. Well, it was still in a disposable paper cup.

Thinking about what happened just now, I suddenly felt that Bishop Otto might be overthinking it for making such a big fuss over this guy in front of him.

That man is nothing but that.JPG

Although she was still shocked that Lin Wei was so keenly aware of the fact that she was in an illusion, and could even call out Yu Duchen who was able to do that, and Xukong Wanzang who had the ability of mimicry, all these showed that the man in front of her must be extraordinary, which made her extremely alert for a time, and she felt that she had fallen into a dangerous trap.

But this vigilance was quickly destroyed by Lin Wei himself.

He was not threatening at all.

"It's so embarrassing..."

Lin Wei covered his face with his hands and wailed silently, not caring at all about what image he would have in Fu Hua's eyes. He was almost socially dead anyway.

What is this thing called...

Originally, everything was going so smoothly.

Lin Wei knew that his behavior would attract some people's attention, especially Cocolia and Otto.

But the arrogant Cocolia only has eyes for Raiden Mei, and will not care about this self-indulgent little ant, let alone take the risk of being silenced by Tianming.

He doesn't deserve it.

But Otto is different. This man with a perverted desire for control will not allow anything beyond his control, even the slightest bit.

There is great terror between life and death. Under the threat of death, Lin Wei, who put aside all distractions and fought desperately for survival, found his "golden finger", which is his familiarity with the plot, or familiarity with the setting.

Things like the plot are not reliable. After all, now is not the time for the plot to begin, and future events have not happened yet. No one can say whether the predicted future can still become the future. We cannot pin our hopes on such things.

Although the future is uncertain, the past is certain, and it is feasible to find a way out from the past that has already happened.

Moreover, the world setting and character setting that support the future development of the plot are predictable. These two together are the basis for Lin Wei to break the deadlock.

Lin Wei believed that Otto would not allow an unexpected variable to stay in Saint Freya openly. He would definitely investigate him. And to ensure that there would be no mistakes, he would definitely do it himself or send his capable subordinates to do it.

Even though Lin Wei guessed that there was a high probability that there was an Otto's soul steel clone in St. Freya Academy at the moment, after all, he had to make breakfast for his granddaughter. But he didn't think he was qualified to ask Otto to take action.

He doesn't deserve it.

It is precisely because of one's own insignificance that one has the possibility to breathe in the cracks.

Youlan Dell seems casual, but she is actually very thoughtful. However, her work schedule is full and she probably can't squeeze out.

Rita should be searching for the Second God Key all over the world at this time, and she is also busy;

It's good enough that Theresa doesn't cause any trouble.

Therefore, the only possible candidate is Fu Hua, and she is currently doing nothing in Saint Freya. Her apparent identity is just a student, and her deployment will not be as eye-catching as the other S-class Valkyries.

Since they were going to investigate me, they would have to meet sooner or later. Therefore, Lin Wei had already made preparations to welcome Fu Hua to his house.
