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

That Night

St. Freya Academy Infirmary

"Thank you for your hard work, Doctor, I appreciate it."

The doctor opened the door and handed a test report to Fu Hua, who was sitting at the doorway. Fu Hua stood up and thanked him repeatedly.

"Hehe, Little Hua, you're too polite."

The job of school doctor here was very laid-back. The doctor was very willing to chat with this famous genius student in front of her. He sized her up, clicking his tongue in wonder, and started gossiping.

"You just came back from an assignment, right? It's really rare. Everyone says that there's a genius among this year's new students. You've only been enrolled for a short time, and you're already an A-rank Valkyrie."

Fu Hua rolled her eyes inwardly, but on her face, she showed the restraint and bashfulness that a top student should have, repeatedly denying any praise.

Then, she lowered her head and carefully read the test report in her hands, pointing to several data items of concern and asked,

"Doctor, is there something wrong with the data on Honkai energy adaptability?"

A big "0" was conspicuously listed, quite eye-catching.

"I'm curious too. I haven't seen a patient like this in many years, although I only received a few drops of blood for testing." The doctor stopped gossiping and became serious. "Although most people have very poor Honkai energy adaptability, they're often vulnerable to Honkai, but 'very poor' and 'none' have a fundamental difference."

"Experiments have long proven that Honkai energy is everywhere. It's just that in most cases, in most places, the concentration of Honkai energy is very low. And mankind, after tens of thousands of years of evolution, is more than capable of withstanding this trace amount of Honkai energy, just like adapting to the flu virus."

"So, I'm really curious, which lab did you destroy?" The doctor showed a complex expression of both resentment and relief. "Oh well, I know the confidentiality rules, so pretend I didn't ask."

"Creating a "vacuum" environment that completely isolates Honkai energy to observe how people develop and grow without the influence of Honkai energy? What's the point of this kind of experiment?"

"Not to mention whether Honkai energy can be completely eliminated, just the thought that this poor little guy would probably have to wear a protective suit for the rest of his life."

"A respectable spirit of scientific exploration, and also a serious crime." The doctor sighed, "So, Fu Hua, I don't know if your mission this time was to suppress or save."

Fu Hua felt that the doctor had a lot of inner turmoil. She quickly interrupted and asked about the focus of her attention, her tone polite: "So Doctor, do you believe this was an experimental subject specifically cultivated in a lab? Is this the only difference, with no further genetic adjustments?"

"Using 'experimental subject' to refer to a human individual is a bit cold, Fu Hua." The doctor criticized. "But that's what it is. Otherwise, could he be a visitor from some planet without Honkai? And happen to have the genes of an ordinary human male? How is that possible?"

The doctor waved goodbye and returned to his office.

Fu Hua left, deep in thought.

...

The title "Herrscher of Corruption" hit Fu Hua hard again, making her dizzy, her insides churning. Countless fragments of memories rose up and then disappeared. Anger, hatred, despair, guilt, and other complex emotions overwhelmed Fu Hua, like she was drowning.

Fu Hua's eyes were bloodshot, and she stared at the man in front of her with resentment, as if she was in a daze.

She understood. This was a trap carefully prepared for her.

At this moment, Lin Wei breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that he had won this round.

He looked up at the ceiling for a moment, then looked back down at his toes, and his mind went blank, and he really began to space out.

Although he had won, Lin Wei didn't feel happy. He suddenly felt like a venomous snake.

He had curled up his body, disguised himself as harmless, waited quietly for the prey to come to his door, and then in the moment when the prey was most relaxed, he had pounced and injected the most venomous poison into them, watching the prey die of poisoning.

But Lin Wei didn't regret it.

He had thought about asking Fu Hua for help directly, but he had wisely chosen to give up.

The Fu Hua in front of him was not the pure warrior called "Hua" from fifty thousand years ago, nor was she the class monitor who would emerge from her cocoon a few years later.

She was still a tool that was bound tightly by her mission. In the present, she was extremely dangerous under Otto's control.

Fu Hua and Otto's many years of transactions were about to come to fruition, and in the current state where everything needed to proceed step by step, she would not violate Otto's instructions.

The current Fu Hua was just a tool in Otto's hands.

Therefore, if Lin Wei wanted to snatch something from Otto's inescapable net, he could only use heavier chips to completely tip the scales!

Lin Wei calmed himself, slowly raised his head, and once again looked at Fu Hua with equanimity.

I have manipulated you, but I'm not doing you wrong!

Settling the karma from fifty thousand years ago, isn't that what Hua wished for?

I'm using you, but I'm also helping you!

Fu Hua was tormented to the point of her guts twisting, and simply separated a feather to peel away all of these feelings, allowing herself to return to calm.

"So, that's your plan?"

The icy voice seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth. At this moment, her disgust for Lin Wei was unparalleled, just like when she was under Otto's control.

She had so much strength, but she could only bow her head and obey.

"Are you so confident?"

"It's not confidence, it's just that death is approaching and my heart is unwilling. I'm putting up a fight." Lin Wei's tone was unhurried. He didn't put on any airs of a victor, it sounded like self-mockery and like a defense.

"It's better than giving up. Failure can't make things any worse, can it?"

...

"An experimental subject, huh?"

Fu Hua said nothing. She folded the report and put it in her pocket, before striding away.

She wasn't going to report today's events to Otto. She was going to observe and see.

...

After Fu Hua left, Lin Wei collapsed to the ground, unwilling to move.

He was really too tired, like a corpse whose soul had been completely burned away, lifeless.

He had to rest.

On this journey,

Every step was a calculation, every step was shocking.

In the end, he even had a collision of soul and will with a MANTIS.

And he was able to barely win with the help of a cheat.

Ha, no one would believe it if he said it out loud.

The first level was cleared, but there were still many more difficult levels to overcome.

What did Lin Wei have to rely on?

He understood the plot, understood the settings, understood the characters, and understood the future direction.

Other than that, he had nothing.

It looked very impressive, but in reality, it was worthless.

An insignificant nobody, who was barely able to protect himself, did not even have the right to step onto the stage. What was the point of reciting the script backwards, even if he could?

At this time, only a month had passed since the Third Honkai Eruption. At this time, Yae Sakura was still wandering in Nagazora City, Kiana was still asleep in Chiba Academy, and Theresa was still peacefully living her small, blissful life at St. Freya Academy.

This was the only path to survival Lin Wei had found.

But he couldn't even achieve the simplest first step of "returning to Nagazora City."

A transmigrator who had become like this was truly pathetic.

He should just quit the group, and do it fast.

Originally, Lin Wei had no hope, but by a twist of fate, God finally gave Lin Wei a chance, and he had successfully seized it.

Lin Wei had created a series of interconnected plans to get something for nothing, and if he succeeded, he would receive very generous rewards!

Lin Wei thought wildly, slowly raising his trembling arms. His gaze followed the raised arms, pointing straight at the ceiling.

Cold, weak, but this was the feeling of being alive.

This feeling was so good, warm, fulfilling, and intoxicating like the spring sunshine.

Lin Wei laughed again unrestrainedly. It was enough.

He had won this first round. Even if his following plans failed, even if he died, it would not be in vain to have transmigrated!

Lin Wei raised his middle finger toward the heavens for the fourth time,

It's not over yet. Let's continue the game!
