"...So, Elysian Realm. Is it that Elysian Realm, system?"
[It should be because the host's luck is exceptionally good.]
Luo Lin rubbed her temples, feeling that her body had returned to a state of exhaustion due to resting too long—it was like waking up on a weekend morning, feeling too lazy to get out of bed, then dozing off again, only to find herself even more tired when she opened her eyes.
The girl glanced around and found herself lying in her own room in the rental house, with a serene Fu Hua beside her, breathing steadily, still asleep.
"Wow! Luo Lin, your mind is filled with so many strange things!"
The voice of the Herrscher echoed in Luo Lin's mind, making the girl somewhat helpless. "Hey, Senti, can you speak properly? Could you please stop flipping through my memories?"
"Who's interested in the yellow junk in your head? I'm talking about this so-called 'System Space' of yours that allows me to stay in it... it's quite interesting!"
Luo Lin paused and glanced at the peaceful Fu Hua lying beside her, then asked, "Huh? Aren't you planning to go back?"
"Go back? Oh, you mean back to Fu Hua's side? I don't want to be with that old fossil, it's uncomfortable. I'd rather stay here with you."
Senti's tone was leisurely. "I feel like I can still use the Honkai energy to create a body for myself, although it consumes a lot and isn't very stable... uh, it doesn't seem very practical, does it? But, Luo Lin, don't you have some 'spare' bodies you can offer?"
Indeed, if Senti wanted, Luo Lin could let her use Valkyrie Accipiter, and of course, Vermillion Knight - Eclipse and the recently acquired Miss Pink Elf were also options.
"You really did flip through my memories!"
Senti exclaimed, "Can it be considered flipping through memories when it's about the Honkai? Besides, you didn't guard against me at all, I could easily see your memories—clearly, you willingly showed them to me!"
Listening to this familiar style, Luo Lin felt the sensation of chatting with her internet friend who liked memes, couldn't help but smile.
"Wow, Luo Lin, you're so weird!"
"No, I'm just... a bit touched. It's been a long time since I had such a relaxed chat with someone."
The black-haired girl sat up from the bed, stretched lazily, and looked at the electronic clock on the wall. It was already afternoon, according to the schedule of the Far East School, it was almost time for school to end.
But thankfully, the days hadn't actually skipped ahead three days. Time in the consciousness space passed faster than in reality.
Luo Lin estimated that they had "slept" for about ten hours—it was similar to oversleeping on a weekend.
No, there was still a difference. When you overslept on a weekend, you wanted to do it again.
But after working overtime for three days in the consciousness world, dealing with enough crises to destroy the world, Luo Lin didn't want to experience it again.
"Ugh..."
A slight noise reached the girl's ears, and she turned her head to see Fu Hua suddenly jumping up from the bed, hitting her head on the ceiling and then landing awkwardly on the ground.
"What are you doing?"
"Huh? Am I back to normal?"
Fu Hua rubbed her forehead, with some wall dust on her hair and hands, then pressed against the wall, letting out a sigh of relief.
"Finally, I'm not like a ghost anymore, unable to touch anything."
In "ghost mode," Fu Hua had to adjust her posture and position wherever she went. Sitting on a chair properly became even a strenous task, she could easily sink into the floor or wall if she wasn't careful...
Although it didn't have much impact, it was very counterintuitive for a human, making Fu Hua particularly tired.
"Luo Lin, are we back?"
"Yeah, we're back."
Fu Hua stared at Luo Lin with a complex expression. "Three Herrschers suddenly appeared out of nowhere... you really gave me a big surprise... but fortunately, they all seem to have human consciousness..."
The gray-haired girl looked out of the window and saw pedestrians coming and going on the street. This peaceful scene surprised Fu Hua.
"Nagazora hasn't been destroyed?"
Luo Lin: "?"
Fu Hua took out Fenghuang Down with a serious expression, and a conspicuous golden light burst from the Divine Key. Invisible probing waves spread out from her, covering a small area of the nearby block.
It wasn't an illusion.
And Fu Hua could feel that the concentration of Honkai energy here was surprisingly low, completely different from what it should have been if three Herrschers had appeared together.
"I was mentally prepared to see a city full of Honkai energy and overrun by zombies and Honkai Beasts after opening my eyes..."
Fu Hua's worry was indeed reasonable, but fortunately, reality hadn't become that bad.
"But, it's a good thing... By the way, Luo Lin, do you know where the child named Raiden Mei is? I need to go check on her."
Luo Lin didn't hesitate to say, "I know, but Raiden Mei is the daughter of Raiden Ryoma, the Executor of Anti-Entropy, the young lady of ME Corporation..."
"Huh?"
Fu Hua blinked, somewhat astonished. "Anti-Entropy's person? Does this mean that Anti-Entropy will have two Herrscher-level combat powers with human consciousness? They'll be even more reckless in their actions..."
The gray-haired girl felt somewhat bad. She began to think about whether Anti-Entropy's radicals would become increasingly excessive after receiving support from Raiden Mei, and then Otto would send out his trusted assistant—Fu Hua herself—to travel around the world and fight these excited individuals.
Just thinking about it made her feel exhausted!
"We need to find a way to bring Raiden Mei over, even if it means knocking her out and kidnapping her!"
Fu Hua clapped her hands and made a decision, pulling Luo Lin along to jump out of the window.
Luo Lin quickly stopped Fu Hua, "Raiden Ryoma takes great care of his daughter, and Nagazora is one of the headquarters of Anti-Entropy. They have been operating here for many years and have astonishing local control. How confident are you in secretly taking Raiden Mei away without exposing yourself? If you do expose yourself, can you defeat hundreds or thousands of Titan Mechs alone?"
"This..."
Fu Hua calmed down.
After the split from Schicksal, Anti-Entropy focused on mechanical development, creating various Titan Mechs to combat the Honkai.
Fu Hua's Divine Key, Fenghuang Down, didn't work on purely mechanical constructs, and her expertise in mental interference techniques was useless against them.
Furthermore, this operation was a covert one, and Fu Hua hadn't brought her Valkyrie Battlesuit with her.
Relying solely on physical strength, she might be able to handle two or three Titans, but ME Corporation was a major manufacturer. It wouldn't be a problem for them to deploy hundreds or thousands of Titans in their headquarters. If she were to force her way through, she wouldn't stand a chance!
The gray-haired girl clenched her fists, looking at Luo Lin, lost in thought.
"Fu Hua?"
Fu Hua solemnly took Luo Lin's hand and said, "Please, use your charm and bring Raiden Mei to us!"
"Why don't you ask Kiana about it instead? Isn't she close with Raiden Mei?"
"But..."
Just then, the bedroom door opened, and Kiana walked in.
"Luo Lin? Are you awake... uh, sorry to interrupt, continue with what you were doing."
Bang!
Kiana smoothly retreated as if rewinding, closing the door behind her.
"..."
Silence. Silence was the order of the night.
