Someone in Honkai, This Narration is Not Right / Honkai Scroll Dog Path

"My dad was notified by a friend about a major incident that required my attention, so he left without saying goodbye."

"It was my dad's fault for leaving you behind back then, so he'll find time to make it up to you."

"Until then, listen to Cocolia and find a place to hide. Changkong City isn't safe, after all."

"When my dad finishes dealing with things, he'll come to meet you."

"This again..."

Sigh, this again.

Damn it, I wish my old man would really say that.

Why is this fake!

This young lady is so angry!

Cocolia, if I ever get the chance to meet you, I'll definitely teach you a lesson.

How dare you use my old man's voice to trick me... Cocolia, you're dead!

"Alright, Cocolia, Kiana is in your care."

After judging that Kiana had believed their lie, Cocolia voluntarily cut off the communication.

Now that Kiana believed her, it didn't mean the risk had disappeared.

Cocolia had too little information about Siegfried. Without truly understanding Siegfried, Cocolia could only use the simplest words to fool Kiana.

The more she said, the more mistakes she could make. If she said a few more words and this girl discovered something amiss, her plan would be ruined.

Just then, Kiana, who was preparing to find an opportunity to escape the battlefield, suddenly saw the mercenary captain in front of her. He picked up his walkie-talkie with a grave expression.

Hmm, wait, what's going on?

"Cap, Captain... Something terrible has happened."

From the walkie-talkie in the mercenary leader's hand, a mercenary let out a pained wail.

"Someone broke in downstairs. He took us all down with just three punches and two kicks!"

[Seventh Update]. Chapter Thirty-Nine: Once Affection Reaches a Certain Level

A few minutes ago

Lin Yu, who was pursuing Kiana, had already spotted the flashing car lights in the distance.

Initially, the distance between them was several kilometers. If their speeds were the same, it would have been difficult for Lin Yu to catch up to Kiana.

But the problem was that their equipment was different.

Lin Yu didn't know where Kiana got her motorcycle, but its speed was really limited.

Lin Yu's motorcycle, on the other hand, was a new one he had bought at a high price.

He couldn't help it; with Schicksal backing him, his funds were quite ample.

Sigh, it was only at times like this that this background came in handy.

However, Lin Yu was still a step too late while pursuing Kiana.

He could only barely see Kiana hide her motorcycle and then sneak into the building.

"Hmm, if I rush in like this, the noise will attract the attention of the patrols..."

—But what does that have to do with me? Charge forward!

My mission is to take this girl away, keep her within my sight, and finally bring her back to Schicksal.

Don't think too much about other things.

I'm from Schicksal, I just need to complete my mission—Otto can clean up the mess afterward!

As long as he could take K423 away, Lin Yu believed Otto wouldn't care about the rest.

With that thought, Lin Yu rode his motorcycle straight towards the building.

And then...

"Don't move!"

—He was immediately surrounded by a group of mercenaries armed with guns.

"Ah, this..."

Looking at the people around him, Lin Yu awkwardly raised his hands.

These people were definitely not from Schicksal, and World Serpent wouldn't show up to catch Kiana at this time.

So, was Cocolia targeting K423 this time?

The thought made Lin Yu suddenly feel a bit flustered.

Cocolia was a genius when it came to unconventional tactics. If she planned to make a move on K423, it would be a big problem.

With her crazy methods, if she was allowed to act recklessly...

—Damn it, would Sirin awaken prematurely at this moment because of Cocolia's provocation?

[Firearms? For you right now, they're nothing more than children's toys, posing no threat.]

No, no, no, my body is still that of an ordinary person.

If I were to be hit normally by a bullet, I'd either die or get injured.

And the guns these people are holding...

They're the same model as the handgun Lin Yu drew, a Glock G19.

Wow, what a coincidence, a real coincidence—not! It feels like some timeline has shifted.

Looking at Lin Yu, who was being so cooperative, the mercenary who had been considering whether to just kill the kid suddenly had second thoughts.

A kid suddenly appearing here late at night was indeed a bit suspicious.

But judging by his stance, this person had no combat training.

Plus, his body was trembling. Ha, was he scared?

That's right, for an ordinary person to have so many gun barrels pointed at them...

Before this thought could even cross the mercenary's mind, he saw the boy who had been trembling moments ago suddenly disappear from his spot.

In that instant, the mercenary knew things had gone south.

But Lin Yu, who had entered Mirror Mind, had already launched an uppercut, sending him flying.

While sending the enemy flying, Lin Yu also conveniently snatched his firearm.

It couldn't be helped. He had a gun, but K423 might not have any self-defense weapons. Having more guns around couldn't hurt.

These mercenaries were well-equipped, all wearing bulletproof vests.

If he hadn't possessed the Mirror Mind ability and had some grasp of combat, it was hard to say if he would have survived a gunfight against these people, but he certainly wouldn't have come out unscathed.

It had to be acknowledged that these mercenaries displayed professional conduct once they entered combat.

But at such close range, Lin Yu didn't even need to observe their movements; he could sense their killing intent through Mirror Mind and evade them in advance.

By the time Lin Yu knocked out the last person, only thirty seconds had passed.

And just then, he saw the lights suddenly turn on at the very top of the building.

"Kiana, that idiot... fell for the trap."

Thinking of his own deductions, Lin Yu, who had just deactivated Mirror Mind, felt increasingly worried about Kiana...

Alright, he wasn't worried about Kiana; he was worried about himself.

Sirin was already in a state where she could awaken at any moment. If these people provoked Kiana too much, Lin Yu would be in trouble.

Of course, running back now was an option, but Lin Yu hadn't forgotten that Siegfried had been sent flying in the opposite direction by him.

In other words, on this one-way street, if he chose to turn back and run, he would most likely encounter Siegfried himself.

Of course, if he met Siegfried and Sirin caught up, Siegfried would definitely stop caring about him and choose to fight Sirin instead.

However, back in the snowfield, Siegfried could suppress Sirin with both arms. But now, Siegfried was one-handed and injured by Lin Yu. If he were to fight Sirin now...

Even if Sirin was currently crippled, Siegfried might still be at a disadvantage.

If Siegfried was at a disadvantage, could Lin Yu, who was nearby, escape?

Unbelievable, it's all a chain reaction.

And many of these events were the result of my own actions.

Is God trying to force me to my death?

Lin Yu stepped into the elevator, pressed the button for the top floor, and let out a sigh of resignation.

[Ha, tailoring the treatment—yes, that's it.]

[For Raiden Mei, whose heart needed strengthening, you chose a stern approach.]

[And for K423, a naive girl craving companionship, you chose the classic, yet most effective, method: the hero saving the damsel.]

[You are confident that by completing this mission step-by-step, you will leave your mark on the girl's soul.]

[And when the Affection reaches the required level... hehehe.]

Sometimes I wonder if your performance reviews have anything to do with that.

Why do you always drag your complaints into the gutter?

[Hehehe.]

After letting out a laugh of unknown meaning, Lin Yu heard no more from the system.

As the elevator doors slowly opened, Lin Yu saw the scene before him.

In front of him, Kiana Kaslana stared at him with a look of utter shock.

And the mercenaries behind Kiana, looking at Lin Yu's face...

—ungraciously raised their handguns and pulled the trigger, aiming at Lin Yu.

[Eighth Update]Chapter 40: Playing This Big?

Facing an enemy who had raised a pistol, Lin Yu decisively chose to...

—Not bother activating his skills.

He was currently inside an elevator. The opponent's action of raising the pistol was quite obvious, and the trajectory of the shots was well within the predictable range.

Facing these bullets, Lin Yu ungracefully rolled to the side, perfectly dodging the enemy's fired shots.

Seeing Lin Yu's actions at this moment, Kiana knew that the chance to retreat had arrived.

Casually punching away the two mercenaries closest to her, Kiana immediately ran towards Lin Yu.

"Senpai, this—"

"This my foot."

Seeing Kiana about to rush into the elevator, Lin Yu grabbed her hand and pulled her behind him.

"What are you doing?!"

Kiana broke out in a cold sweat at Lin Yu's actions.

Just moments ago, Kiana had planned for Lin Yu to escape with her on the elevator, getting away from their enemies.

However, Lin Yu's actions had disrupted her plan.

Granted, even so, Kiana didn't think those mercenaries with pistols could do anything to her.
