Honkai, why do you only throw me into high-level battles?

Having confirmed the world line and timeline he was in, Lin Wei decided to leave Nagazora City immediately.

The Third Honkai Eruption was right around the corner. Although Lin Wei didn't know the exact date, he knew that time was running out.

As an ordinary transmigrator, if he didn't want to die a meaningless and painful death along with millions of people in the city due to the cold-hearted selfishness of some individuals, he had to leave quickly.

Before leaving Nagazora City, Lin Wei called everyone he could. The list on his phone, the contacts in his WeChat, even his online or offline friends in games. Lin Wei tried to notify every single person he could contact.

To each person, Lin Wei earnestly advised them to leave Nagazora City immediately. Those who had already left should not return, the further away the better. A terrible disaster was about to happen here.

Some people thought he was crazy, while others thought he was just being silly and having some fun during the New Year. Lin Wei knew that few people would take him seriously, and that if he talked too much, they'd think he was a lunatic, making things worse. But this was all he could do right now.

Then, Lin Wei decisively quit his job.

His boss never imagined that this little brat would call on the first day of the new year, not to give blessings or say auspicious words, but to say, "I'm quitting."

This out-of-the-blue move caught him off guard. He hadn't even switched from "auspicious words mode" to "empty promises mode" yet. He was still processing it when the person on the other end of the line went on to advise him to leave Nagazora City quickly, which caught him even more off guard.

"What the heck are you doing, kid? You drank too much over the New Year and haven't woken up yet?"

Lin Wei was too lazy to argue with him. Once the message was delivered, he hung up the phone. Time was tight, and every second counted.

Then he took stock of his assets. Everything that could be sold, he sold. He didn't care about low prices, he just sold it if someone gave him money. What couldn't be sold, he just gave away. What he couldn't give away, he threw aside with the trash, without looking back.

Then, he contacted an agent to sell his house. Because he was in such a hurry to sell, the price was much lower than the market value. Lin Wei was determined. He haggled a bit, and as soon as the agent started to frown and hesitate, he immediately signed the contract and transferred the property, taking the money and leaving.

Lin Wei felt like he had a Herrscher crawling all over him every second he stayed in this cursed place, Nagazora City. He was terrified, so he had to leave.

Then, Lin Wei looked at the long string of numbers on his bank card and suddenly fell silent.

After some internal struggles, Lin Wei finally decided that he should do more.

He set aside some of the money for living expenses and emergencies, and took out the rest. Feeling like it wasn't enough, he went around borrowing more money to put together and hired a large group of online trolls. He used them to create a bunch of posts on social media, such as:

"Nagazora City Nuclear Power Plant Damaged, Nuclear Contamination Leaks Into the City's Water Supply,"

"Nagazora City Power Company Secretly Discharges Nuclear Waste Into the Ocean,"

"Twelve Ways to Tell if Vegetables and Seafood are Contaminated by Radiation,"

"People in Canghai City, Across the Sea, Begin to Rush to Buy Iodized Salt. Local Government Calls on Citizens to Remain Calm,"

and other such rumors that began to spread everywhere.

Obviously, it wouldn't make much of a splash.

Come on! Everyone isn't blind. The nuclear power plant in Nagazora City is right there. As a local, how could I not know if something happened?

But the government quickly stepped forward to deny the rumors, which instead caused a bit of chaos. "OMG, the government has come out to deny it. Could it be that it's true?"

Human nature is so interesting.

Lin Wei, having successfully completed his task, took his phone, computer, various IDs, and a suitcase of clothes, jumped on a plane, and fled to St. Freya, the whole process went smoother than he expected.

Lin Wei originally thought that he might not be able to find the exact address of St. Freya Academy. After all, since the Honkai was generally unknown to ordinary people in this world, it would be more logical for St. Freya Academy, an organization under Schicksal that fought the Honkai, to be hidden from the eyes of ordinary people.

Lin Wei had prepared a plan B for himself, but he was actually able to find the address of St. Freya, the admission brochure, and even tourist guides, which made Lin Wei confused.

Was this place really reliable? Lin Wei felt a little uneasy.

It should be reliable, right?

With a worried heart, Lin Wei set off.

Then, a month later, one day, Lin Wei, who had successfully settled down in a seaside town affiliated with St. Freya Academy, turned on the TV as usual and saw a breaking news report.

"A major safety accident has occurred at the Nagazora City nuclear power plant. The affected area is vast, and there are many victims. The local government has actively begun rescue work. The specific situation is still under assessment. The Far East Government advises residents in all areas to stay away from Nagazora City and surrounding areas..."

Seeing the disaster that was destined to happen being reported to him in such an unexpected way, Lin Wei smiled with relief.

Lin Wei knew that his act of spreading rumors would definitely cause trouble for him in the future, and he had struggled between protecting himself and taking action. But his conscience overcame his selfishness, and he ultimately decided he should do something.

Maybe his actions were ridiculous, maybe they had no effect at all, maybe nothing could be changed, but who knows?

He had already done his best. Even if he couldn't do anything, since he thought of a method, he had to try it. If he failed, things wouldn't get any worse.

And if he did succeed, then maybe right now, at some airport or train station in some corner of the world, a stranger from Nagazora City was being saved because of him?

Wasn't that enough?

Lin Wei deleted all his previous contact information and accounts. He was just a transmigrator, and his past experiences were all false to him, so he didn't want to have too many ties.

He also didn't want to contact everyone again to check how many people in his list had survived. The result might be disappointing, so it was better to just not see it.

Let's all start anew.

There was no concept of accumulating good karma in this world. Lin Wei did these things just to bring peace to his soul.

Doing what shouldn't be done would bring harm. Not doing what could be done would bring regret. Not doing what should be done would cause guilt.

People's regret, self-blame, guilt, and other negative emotions usually came down to these three reasons.

Lin Wei just wanted a clear conscience and to have his mind at peace.

Moreover, Lin Wei knew one thing. If you want to survive longer in the Honkai world, having a clear mind and a clear conscience was very important.

Otherwise, who knows when they'd force a Herrscher Core on you and force you to become one.

There were still 1009 Herrscher slots left. Not many, but not few. So, how about it, are you tempted?

Lin Wei angrily refused.

Come on, in a yuri-filled world like Honkai, there's no good ending for a male Herrscher!

Don't take Old Yang as an exception. Look how many sit-ups(revive) he did. It's too sad to watch. Now he's still surviving and recovering his health at St. Freya next door, and in the end, didn't he just give his core to someone else and run away?

Speaking of this, look at Bronya. She didn't have any problems after getting her core, just had her driver's license revoked a few times. Other than that, she was fine, still living her best life, going to dance parties and such.

Then look at Old Yang. Every time, he was nearly dying, it's just heartbreaking to see how hard he suffers.

Put the two together and compare them, oh, it's even sadder.

This was the disparity in the world.

So, good boy, don't dream.

If you don't want to be struck by lightning one day, or have a Flame-Chaser greatsword come crashing down on you in the morning and die on the spot, or be beaten to death by some very strong pretty girl, you'd better put away your bold ideas.

The main characters hold a Herrscher core and have the right to enforce the law. You'll most likely be on the receiving end of that law.

You can't compare people to people, and you especially can't compare stowaways to those with connections.

Lin Wei had long recognized the reality of how insignificant he was.

How does that saying go?

"Conceal your brilliance, bide your time, adapt to circumstances and wait for the chance."

Evading! No, it's "laying low" that's the number one priority for a naked transmigrator without any Cheat. [Evading (蒸 - zhēng) and Laying low (苟 - gǒu) sound similar in Chinese, creating a pun.]

From a realistic perspective, everything is for existence, and existence is everything.

Life is precious, you only get one, stay calm and don't be reckless.

Therefore, Lin Wei chose to settle in St. Freya not out of any veteran player nostalgia, but because it was the most logical choice.

Back in Nagazora City, Lin Wei had listed all the locations he could remember on a piece of paper and then ranked them based on safety and feasibility.

First, locations not mentioned in the story were all excluded.

They were too unpredictable. You didn't know if a Durandal would fly into the small mountain village where you were hiding and punch you, who had already become a zombie, or if a Titan would just level the whole place.

A deserted island? That Raven lady would give you a thumbs up. Lin Wei didn't believe that she was the only unlucky person to get an island she was on sunken, either.

Who knows how many islands sank at that time? It was too dangerous. If you didn't want to feed the fish, it's best to stay away, pass.

Deep mountains and old forests wouldn't work either. How do you know that the cute and delicious rabbit in front of you won't super evolve into a friendly Honkai Beast and switch roles with you?

The risk was too high and unpredictable, and you'd be worried all the time. It was like gacha. What if you lose?

Secondly, places that had already experienced a Honkai Eruption, and theoretically shouldn't have another one, should also be passed over.

After all, he wasn't sure if he could withstand the residual Honkai energy. What if he couldn't and died?

You only get one life, and he couldn't gamble with it.

So, after thinking it over, he still had to choose from the shortlist.

Lin Wei looked at the short list on the paper, racking his brain to recall every piece of information he could remember.

First, Neo-Atlantis seemed like the safest place on the surface. No Honkai disaster could reach it.

But first of all, it was on the moon, and he couldn't get there; even if he could, it was 2014, who knew if World Serpent had started digging underground yet? If not, there wouldn't even be air to play with;

Finally, even if they had built the base already, that base was prepared for Stigmata Awakened people. They definitely wouldn't block out much Honkai energy, and the Honkai energy concentration on the moon…

Let's just say, if you know, you know. Pass.

Next, Kolosten was a good choice. As Schicksal's old headquarters, Schicksal would definitely protect it, and it was unlikely that any Honkai Eruption would affect this small town.

Even when the main characters fought Otto there in the story, the residents didn't even need to leave the town to find shelter, and they could go home afterwards without any problems.

It was also on Earth, so theoretically it should be the best safe house. But Lin Wei was just a transmigrator, not an employee of Schicksal, not a family member of an employee, and not a resident of Kolosten. He also had no special talents that would allow Otto to make an exception for him. It might be a little difficult to go in there and hide.

It could be a goal to strive for in the later stages, but for now it was better to pass over it for the first step.

Similarly, Schicksal headquarters, Anti-Entropy base, World Serpent headquarters, etc. were out of the question. Pass.

Cocolia Orphanage was the same. He calculated his age, measured his 1.8-meter height, and looked at his handsome face. There was no way he could blend in. Pass.

Mount Taixu… no one was alive there in the later part of the story. Let's not talk about it, pass.

ARC City, Honkai disasters did happen, but they were controllable, and the defense forces seemed pretty good. They could barely protect themselves during a major Honkai event. It seemed okay, and it was a pretty city.

But it was too cyberpunk, and World Serpent was short on test subjects, kidnapping foreigners in ARC City all day. It was too dangerous. It could be a contender, but the priority should be lower.

Singapore, it seemed okay, but it didn't appear much in the game storyline, just in the manga where Fu Hua had her personal show. Plus, it was too close to the Coral Island and would likely be affected by a sudden Honkai outbreak.

More importantly… ahem, a certain famous historical figure is sleeping in the seabed not far from there right now, are you happy?

Heh, pass!!!

London... Rita's family was in London, and her parents survived to the end, but the family members of high-ranking Schicksal officials couldn't be used as a benchmark, and there was no other information. It was uncontrollable, pass.

New York? Free shopping, pass.

…

The addresses on the list were crossed out one by one, and there were fewer and fewer options.

Speaking of which, the hiding place Lin Wei liked the most was the Sea of Quanta.

This place was isolated from the world. No matter how much fighting went on outside, it had nothing to do with this place;

And considering this was the site of a major research facility from the Previous Era, it was likely that they considered the survival needs of ordinary researchers who didn't have great Honkai energy resistance. The story CG also showed that Honkai creatures on the seabed were kept out.

Theoretically, as long as he didn't get close to the Eye of the Abyss and get swept up by the energy bound there, as long as he found a quiet corner to be a handsome, peaceful man, stockpiled enough food and water, stayed far away from the storyline, it shouldn't be a problem to survive the next few years of the story.

The best thing was that even in the Final Battle, when Kevin started the Stigma Plan and weaved a net across the Earth, making it like he was knitting a sweater, the Sea of Quanta would remain an untouched sanctuary at that time, which was very nice.

Unfortunately, it was under the sea, and he couldn't get there. Lin Wei had no choice but to give up, though with some heartache.

He could try to hitch a ride with Anti-Entropy in the future. Welt seemed like a pretty easy person to talk to... or maybe not...?

ε=(´ο｀*)))

You see, after counting and counting, only St. Freya was left as an option...

First of all, it's still first. Honkai never happens here. The days are peaceful and quiet.

As for the monsters that appear at the school, such as the times when Theresa pretends to be a lost, mentally challenged nun, with the zombies and small Honkai beasts as atmosphere props, those are most likely teaching tools prepared by the school.

After all, as a professional organization for fighting the Honkai, it's very reasonable for them to have zombies and Honkai beasts on hand for dissection and research, right?

Besides that, it's pretty good. The Anti-Entropy invasion looks impressive, but it's actually small-scale. They only damaged a few dorms. The next day, the students went to class as usual, without any issues.

That's not entirely accurate, there were still some issues, at the very least, the repair budget for the school facilities was overdrawn.

On this point, Himeko, who was kicked out of her own dorm room, has a lot to say about that.

Apart from that, there were basically no major incidents. Living here, you don't have to worry about a super battleship suddenly falling from the sky and crashing with a bang,

Nor do you have to worry about a huge beam of light suddenly flying from the horizon and leveling the place, and then firing another one for good measure.

You don't have to worry about any of that here.

Even that white-haired Tuna can skip classes and climb over walls every day, which just shows that the environment is safe enough, and there must be a pretty good commercial area outside the school. Otherwise, if she was just looking for a place to nap, she could just find a patch of grass on campus, why would she need to run outside?

Also, that dog Otto, putting aside everything else, he cares about his granddaughter. St. Freya Academy, as the expensive toy he prepared for Theresa, wouldn't suffer any damage even if Theresa and the main cast rebelled against Schicksal and never returned. On the contrary, it would be further away from the center of the storm, making it a great place to lay low and just get by.

And if he remembered correctly, St. Freya wasn't within the range of Kevin's rampage in the final chapter? That's even better. By that time, there wouldn't be many people on the huge campus. He could hide wherever he wanted.

Plan is a go! √

So, after thinking it over and over, Lin Wei finally bought a ticket to where St. Freya Academy was located.

He was determined to lay low until the very end!

Find a class to take nearby, face the sea, with spring flowers blooming,

Keep his distance from the main cast,

Whatever storms and rain they experience,

Whatever spring and autumn they see,

Whatever joys and sorrows, legends they weave,

It has nothing to do with him!

I, Lin Wei, a transmigrator, am laying low, let whatever will be, be!

But soon, Lin Wei was tragically devastated to discover that something big had happened. His plans to just chill were basically a bust before they even started.

The truth is, he was overthinking things. Want to lay low? Dream on!

Lin Wei gave the heavens the middle finger for the third time.
