Chapter 341

Sigh, it's so strange to suddenly have parents.

I'll observe the situation a bit more, and try to play the role of an ordinary child so they won't treat me like a freak and throw me away.

As for the news that Lin Yu heard later, it made him lose his composure.

According to the conversation between Yi Sheng and Lin Yu's father, Lin Yu's mother was in a dangerous period before giving birth to Lin Yu due to her weak health.

The husband, who loved his wife, was in a desperate situation and was originally prepared to save the mother and abandon the child.

Now, he no longer has to worry about only having one wife and child left.

Oh, no wonder he was laughing so happily.

This world is too dangerous. Even after transmigrating, I almost died because my biological mother had a difficult childbirth...

In the days to come, I should pay close attention to my surroundings and cherish this hard-won second life.

September 23, 1997

Lin Yu, who was named Lin Yu by her family, has adapted to her current life after a year of growing up.

Putting everything else aside, having parents to protect you is definitely better than being an orphan.

Today, after he celebrated his first birthday, he closed his eyes on the sofa and suddenly heard his parents talking.

"Honey, have you noticed that Xiaoyu seems to laugh less often than other children?"

"Hmm, roughly, but... what should we do? If we can't find the cause, we can't treat the problem properly, honey."

"I've asked some friends over the past few days, and they said, 'Your son's name contains the character for rain, and rain is just falling water droplets, which is basically tears.' They mean we should change Xiaoyu's name."

"Isn't this... a bit superstitious?"

I think so too.

I don't usually laugh because I'm afraid I won't be able to stop once I start. Life is so comfortable, it's great to secretly enjoy it.

Sigh, but since Mom has already said all that, I should smile more in the future so they won't have to worry anymore.

"So, honey, what do you think would be a good name for Xiaoyu?"

"We just wanted to avoid the word 'rain' appearing in our son's life, so we decided to use a homophone."

"Change Xiaoyu's name to Lin Yu, with the 'Yu' in 'feather,' that should be fine, right?"

Oh, can this really bring my name back?

In a sense, this is probably a kind of fate.

About two years ago

Lin Yu, who has grown up in Shenzhou for more than a decade and has become a sunny and cheerful young man, is not happy today.

I don't know what his parents were thinking, but anyway, the two of them said, "Hey son, let's go on a trip abroad together," and without saying a word, they dragged Lin Yu abroad.

Lin Yu himself did not want to go out.

It's not that he's not interested in foreign countries, it's just that foreign countries are very dangerous.

This danger wasn't like the kind of danger Lin Yu feared, where peanuts were flying everywhere. What Lin Yu was wary of was something far more terrifying.

In this place, his homeland is called Shenzhou, the island nation next to it is called the Far East, and there is a big company in the world called ME Company. His father even dragged him to revisit his childhood masterpieces "Metal Max: Alahato" and "Magic Divine Machine: Alahato".

One or two things may be a coincidence, but too many coincidences can lead to serious problems.

This is a Honkai and Honkai world view. It feels too dangerous to stay in Shenzhou and wander around to other places.

While things weren't entirely Honkai in Shenzhou, in our modern society, as long as we avoid those kinds of problems, we'll be fine.

My home isn't in the ocean or the sky; normally, it's a place where as long as you survive, there shouldn't be any major problems.

Sigh, but if Mom and Dad want to come out, then let's not spoil their plans.

Hopefully, we won't encounter any strange things on this trip.

One month later

At this moment, Lin Yu, who had already experienced a tragedy, looked at the girl who had led him into a certain house, his eyes showing no emotion whatsoever.

"Come on, A'yu, this will be your new home from now on."

Looking at the boy's current expression, Rita was not yet as mature as she would later become, didn't say anything more when she saw Lin Yu's uncomfortable expression.

This boy had just lost his parents; for a boy of that age, such a blow was simply too great.

For reasons unknown, perhaps simply out of the purest impulse in her heart, Rita chose to adopt the boy, who should have been sent to an orphanage, after learning that he had no other relatives in Shenzhou.

However, it will probably take a long time to heal the wounds in his heart.

"A'yu —is it alright to call you that?"

"Um."

After speaking slightly, Lin Yu addressed the girl in front of him.

"I'm fine, Rita."

The boy's attitude made Rita think that he must be a sensible child.

But that's precisely why Rita felt—a bit of a headache.

It's a good thing for children to be sensible, but for children who are too sensible, the inability to express their inner emotions may actually cause them to suffer from excessive negative emotions.

This kid... well, I'm not an expert in this area. I'll take some time to ask the seniors at headquarters if they know any psychologists.

"Hey, Rita, you're back?"

After hearing the commotion outside, a blonde girl came out of the room and looked at Rita and Lin Yu in front of her.

"Ah, Lady Bianca, this is the child I told you about."

"Um..."

After walking up to Lin Yu, Bianca glanced at Lin Yu briefly and immediately said something.

"You seem to have something on your mind."

... Damn, is it because my acting is bad, or is the Kaslana clan's intuition terrifying?

"You're overthinking it, little sister?"

After extending his right hand, Lin Yu spoke to Bianca.

"My name is Lin Yu, nice to meet you."

"My name is Bianca, Bianca Durandal Atagina."

Great, that completes the first step of my plan.

Although I feel very sorry for Rita and Bianca, I need to enter Schicksal's inner circle to gain higher authority and greater power for my plan.

Honkai...

You fucking dared to kill my parents!

After realizing that he was about to lose control of his emotions, Lin Yu forcibly suppressed his violent emotions and grasped Bianca's outstretched right hand.

Don't rush, don't rush.

They will become even stronger in the future, and as long as I can use my status as 'two S-class close partners', I will have a greater chance of rising to the higher levels.

I must take revenge.

I must...

—Kill the Honkai!

February 2014

Having successfully deceived Rita and Durandal into participating in this mission, Lin Yu, having learned that his companions had lost contact with him one after another, was now on high alert.

Cocolia, that bitch, isn't very effective at fighting the Honkai, but she's good at messing with people's mentality.

Although I was only temporarily assigned to the mission and wasn't on the mission list, it was only a matter of time before I came under Anti-Entropy's scrutiny.

More important than these tasks right now is...

We should still go find Yae Sakura and see if we can obtain some of her power.

Yae Sakura's power isn't top-tier (T0), but it's not weak either.

Only by obtaining Yae Sakura's power can I distinguish myself and gain higher authority.

As for the bell hiding inside her body... we'll talk about that later.

If you want to take revenge on the Honkai, then this kind of risk is definitely unavoidable...

What is that sound?!

After hearing some sounds and seeing everything around him turn into darkness, Lin Yu suddenly thought of something.

Raiden Mei once told Kiana Kaslana that when she became Herrscher, "A darkness that seemed to tear her body to pieces surged in from all directions."

And this is clearly the situation Lin Yu is facing now...

Have I become Herrscher?

Damn it, you actually dared to choose Honkai!

Rita and Bianca have already noticed that my mental state is not right, so how could I not know it myself?

In this situation, I'm not Herrscher I can completely suppress my Herrscher Persona.

By then, I... will only become a lackey of the Honkai.

Ha, after all this hard work, the Honkai wants me to be its dog?

Pah!

If I'm not sure, I should just put it off for now, but... how can I, without any power, delay something like this?

In that instant, Lin Yu suddenly thought of a solution.

It was a very reckless approach, but it was the only solution he could think of when all he could do was act recklessly.

I tried to forget everything from the past, trying to reduce my desire for revenge to the lowest possible level.

Having reached this point, once my negative emotions were suppressed, even if I became Herrscher, the likelihood of me causing destruction would be greatly reduced.

Honkai, you fucking want me to be your dog, huh?

Then wait, until the day I fully awaken...

—I'll show you that even the highest gods can have their throats bitten off by wild dogs crawling on the ground!

As a massive amount of memories flooded into his mind, Lin Yu, having retrieved his past memories, collapsed to the ground.

"Ha... haha... hahaha..."

"What's going on? The vengeful ghost I've been playing all along is actually the real me?"

Why did I so naturally make up things about Bronya that reflected my past?

Because this is a scene etched deep in my heart, a scene I can never forget, no matter how hard I try.

My dad and mom... family I already had, but lost again.

Countless memories that Lin Yu had forgotten returned to his mind, along with all the emotions he had forgotten in the past.

Love for his parents, guilt towards Rita and Bianca, respect for the ghost of his teacher...

All the emotions that Lin Yu should have had returned to where they belonged at this moment.

But at the same time, the feelings that occupied the most important place in Lin Yu's heart also returned to where they should have been.

Hatred.

Originally all alone, he gained parents after transmigrating.
