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

What is it like to lose your memories?

It's not losing yourself and becoming an ignorant infant. Past experiences have already been engraved into your genes, coexisting with every cell.

Rather, it's like having your complete memories shattered into flying sand, difficult to connect together. Occasionally a fleeting glimpse flashes by, only to scatter between your fingers, like a dream, so close, yet so far.

In the end, only emptiness and confusion remain as the only truth.

It's there, but you've already lost it, and you don't even have the time to feel sad.

Nothing could be more cruel.

Gazing at the starry sky outside the window, Fu Hua tossed and turned, unable to sleep tonight.

...

On the other side, Lin Wei couldn't help but complain to himself, was this considered bullying an honest person?

It probably was, right?

After taking this step, he felt like his art style was off.

Was he perhaps taking the villain's script?

Σ(っ°Д°;)っ

(* ￣︿￣)

Oh well, a villain is still better than a dead man. He'll just have to take it one step at a time.

Life wasn't easy. Lin Wei sighed.

ε=(´ο｀*))) Sigh

Lin Wei got up and boiled water again to make a bucket of instant noodles. Although he had just eaten dinner not long ago, his round of negotiations with Fu Hua had really taken a lot out of him, and now his stomach was growling again.

Also, he did a good job today, so he would reward himself with two sausages.

Slurp.

Why did it taste a little bland? Did he add too much water?

Lin Wei went to the kitchen to grab the condiment box and added half a spoonful of salt. Nothing changed.

He added another spoonful. It tasted like he was chewing on wax.

Lin Wei was thoughtful. He looked down and saw that the erosion patterns on his arm had suddenly extended forward a large amount from his elbow, as if urging him to his death, making Lin Wei's heart feel cold.

Lin Wei expressionlessly got up and went to the kitchen again, pulled out a red bottle, and added a big ~ spoonful of chili into the noodles.

Slurp, hiss...

Nice!

Fighting with the heavens is an endless joy, is this all there is to it?

Compared to Kiana, who was probably so miserable that she had lost her sense of pain, where was he on the spectrum?

Lin Wei tried to find joy in the suffering, and even added another sausage, and slurped a mouthful.

Hiss…

He had been too hasty. He had put in too much chili.

Lin Wei ate this late-night snack with tears in his eyes, his blood rushing to his head, and his insides burning.

Just in case, he even prepared a new roll of toilet paper in the bathroom.

In the end, he couldn't help but pour a box of milk to neutralize the excess capsaicin, which made him feel a lot better.

He had brought it upon himself. Lin Wei despised himself.

When a person is lonely for too long, they can have fun by themselves.

Lin Wei then hugged himself with heartache.

After messing around for a while, Lin Wei looked at the time on his phone. It was time to look for the next victim.

He turned on his computer, logged into Sbeam, and sure enough, his account had been banned again.

He re-registered an account, searched for the ID "MetalGearBronya", and sure enough, Bronya would be online at this time.

It showed that she was in a game. No matter, he could just wait a little bit. He re-purchased the game.

Lin Wei grimaced, feeling pain at the wasted money.

He didn't even know how many games he had added to his library anymore.

His small wallet had to bear a burden that was too heavy for its age, for this family.

It wasn't until over an hour later that she showed that she had quit the game. Lin Wei waited for half a minute to make himself seem less eager, then applied to play a game with her.

"Hmm? It's this guy again."

Bronya had just crushed Kiana in over ten rounds, watching her shout "One more game!" while being dragged by Mei by the collar to the bedroom for extra lessons. When she turned her head, she saw a game invitation from another unfamiliar ID, so she directly clicked agree.

Although Bronya's face was still the same unchanging (???) mask.

In fact, she was secretly in a good mood.

Bullying the idiot Kiana was quite fun for Bronya.

Don't be fooled by Bronya's unchanging expression, she just had emotional expression disorder due to damaged emotional circuits, but that didn't prevent her from still having rich emotions, as well as a competitive spirit and a penchant for mischief.

What kind of level was Kiana on, trying to steal Mei-nee from her?

Okay, she couldn't really steal her away...

?（???）?

But in the gaming world, she was always Bronya's loser!

It was another day of complete victory. Bronya, feeling victorious and aloof, accepted Lin Wei's challenge once again.

It had to be said that Lin Wei had good luck. Every time he invited Bronya to play a game with him, it was usually when Bronya was in the best mood after crushing the idiot.

People were usually more generous when they were in a good mood.

The same went for Bronya.

In addition, he was a nearby player with a similar address, Bronya chose to be tolerant. Otherwise, with Lin Wei's undisguised cheating, he would have been reported and blacklisted a long time ago.

Lin Wei also had his own grievances. His encounter with Bronya on the internet was completely accidental.

One day during the game, he accidentally found the famous ID "MetalGearBronya", which was well known to all captains in the Honkai world, and immediately invited her to play together without a second thought.

At that time, Lin Wei's idea was very simple. Like many other transmigrators in the Honkai world, he wanted to establish a relationship with Bronya through games, at least to become familiar with her, so that it would be convenient to meet up offline in the future.

Reality proved that Lin Wei had really oversimplified things.

He forgot that Bronya had an attachment.

Who uses a quantum supercomputer as an assistant while playing games!

(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻

His plan was faced with premature death from the beginning—

Their gaming skill levels weren't even close. Bronya was also very busy, and there were a lot of gaming experts on her friend list who were all clamoring to play with her, so why would she give Lin Wei any special attention?

So, in a fit of anger, Lin Wei took a different approach. If he couldn't win, he would annoy her to death. A bad impression was better than no impression at all.

He cheated!

Actually, Lin Wei was anxious at first, because putting himself in her shoes, no one would want to encounter a cheater while playing a game.

He had long been prepared to be blacklisted, but luckily, he wasn't.

Because Bronya was an exception.

On one hand, Bronya, who had a strong competitive spirit, enjoyed defeating strong enemies, and she saw "eliminating the immortals" as part of the fun of the game.

In addition, Bronya herself was an immortal, so she didn't think that cheaters were that hateful.

She would defeat them either way. The result was the same.

Especially a guy who stubbornly kept cheating, which brought her a strange kind of fun.

Thus, the two of them formed a rather strange friendship—

A challenger who kept cheating, and a keeper of the ring who remained immovable.

On the other hand, Kiana provided her with plenty of positive emotional reserves every night, which made her quite generous and tolerant for a certain period of time.

The first half was spent crushing the idiot, and the second half was spent eliminating immortals, getting double the happiness.

Bronya said that her gaming career had reached new heights!

Having just sent off the defeated Kiana in a fit of impotent rage, Bronya prepared to enjoy another round of happiness, her fighting spirit high.

Heavy Rabbit, game mode, starting up again!

But to her disappointment, today's opponent seemed rather weak.

He wasn't even cheating!

"Have you given up?"

Although it was a pretty good game, it seemed like it was about to end today. Bronya felt very disappointed and typed a question.

No way, she hadn't played enough!

Otherwise, she could only focus on bullying the idiot Kiana, which had no challenge.

"Yeah, this is the last round for today. I want to play properly."

Although Lin Wei thought that his intentions were not good, he was still honest and typed a reply.

"I have a very serious illness, and I'm about to give up. Luckily, I found a doctor today, and I'll be going for medical treatment tomorrow. I probably won't be able to play games for a long time!"

Did he have a serious illness?

Bronya didn't ask, but she already had some guesses. Although it was strange that someone would be eroded by Honkai around St. Freya Academy, anything related to the Honkai was possible, so she just felt regretful.

Bronya didn't know what she was regretting, maybe the insignificance of life? Maybe that another acquaintance was about to pass away?

Bronya didn't understand either. She just found that she hated this feeling of separation.

"Okay, then let's play again after you get better."

After she finished speaking, she sent over a friend request.

They had played together for so long, but Bronya had never thought about adding Lin Wei as a friend.

Then, for the whole game, Bronya didn't launch any attacks, just kept the situation balanced, and slowly played a game with a stranger.

Bronya knew that the chances of survival for those who were eroded by Honkai were slim.

She was saying farewell.

Lin Wei didn't accept Bronya's friend request. He felt dirty for exploiting the girl's sympathy.

Ugh, he had actually forced himself to become a villain. Lin Wei, you're really too awesome.

He cursed his own shameless hypocrisy.

As the game was about to end, Lin Wei felt that it would be too late if he didn't act, so he calmed himself down and typed, as if he didn't know anything.

"There's one thing I'm curious about. You told me last time that you could block the game monitoring system? Are you a hacker?"

After receiving an affirmative reply, Lin Wei quickly typed the script that he had prepared in his mind into the screen,

"That's great. Can I trouble you to help me look up someone's contact information? I've investigated a mysterious organization. I feel like they can help me treat my illness. I found the identity of one of the people, but I can't find her contact information."

A mysterious organization? Schicksal or Anti-Entropy?

Bronya tilted her head, feeling a little strange. This person's address was right next to St. Freya Academy, yet he said that he was eroded by Honkai and asked for my help to investigate some mysterious organization?

Bronya put away her sympathy, there was something wrong with this person.

She didn't show anything on the surface, but she was ready to probe him little by little.

"Haven't you already found a doctor?"

"I feel like you're not that old, so you should be a student of this academy. You should know how difficult my illness is."

Lin Wei didn't want his words to trigger any keywords that would make his efforts go to waste. This was the breakthrough that Lin Wei had finally found!

The main trio of the protagonist group at St. Freya were not free. Although they didn't know it themselves, they were definitely being watched at all times by various visible and invisible eyes, monitoring everything about their lives and communications.

But Lin Wei didn't believe that anyone would be so bored as to even monitor their in-game communications!

That was a place where they were engaged in constant and intense online arguments. Staring at that thing would probably mean taking blood pressure medicine every day.

Lin Wei was certain that Schicksal was short-handed and probably not that free.

So he waited in the game, and sure enough, Bronya had fallen into the net.

Lin Wei didn't want to pin all his hopes on Fu Hua. What if Otto's ever-expanding gaze missed him? Wouldn't he be left waiting to die?

So, he started looking for backup plans.

From the beginning, Lin Wei had set his sights on Bronya. Or rather, the protagonist trio, who were inseparable from Bronya.

If things worked out with Fu Hua, then this would be a supplementary plan to help the main plan proceed smoothly;

If things failed with Fu Hua, then this would be the backup plan—

Lin Wei would, like he coerced Fu Hua, take out chips that couldn't be refused to coerce the protagonist group into helping him pull chestnuts out of the fire.

That would be too ugly. He didn't want to go down that path unless he absolutely had to.

Offending the protagonist group and wanting to run?

Luckily, he hadn't reached that point yet.

Although what he was doing now was pretty much the same thing.

In-game communication was unreliable, and Bronya could become vigilant and quit at any time. Therefore, Lin Wei cut straight to the chase.

He didn't have a map of Yan, he was just directly showing the dagger. [referencing a historical Chinese assassination attempt]

"I would like to ask you to help me look up the contact information of Ms. Catherine, the director of the British Museum. I want to find someone through her. That person will definitely be able to cure my illness."

Lin Wei typed very quickly because Bronya could log off at any time.

"Unfortunately, he's currently in the quantum realm. I can only find a way to contact him through this woman."

He hit enter and then took his hands off the keyboard, and began to wait.

As expected, after only a few seconds, the computer screen suddenly went black, and the lights in the room flickered.

A few more seconds passed and the lights returned to normal.

Lin Wei was calm, and quietly stared at the black screen. He knew what would happen next.

As expected, a few more seconds later, the screen suddenly lit up, displaying a girl's face. She looked young and still had a little baby fat, with a face that was expressionless but had an aura of murderous intent, and was staring intently at the man outside of the screen. She questioned Lin Wei, word by word,

"Who… exactly… are… you?"

From this voice that was originally supposed to be expressionless, Lin Wei could hear an uncontrollable anger.
