A Person in Honkai, This Narration Is Not Right / Honkai Scroll Dog Path Chapter 48

"Aren't you afraid I'll alter your memories and have you go back to work for Archbishop Otto?"

"Ha, you're quite the suspicious one."

Seeing the hesitation on Lin Yu's face, Siegfried said with great composure.

"If you intended to harm me, you would have done so after dealing with the Herrscher of Thunder."

"I don't know what you've done in the past, but your actions just now are enough reason for me to trust you."

"To put it bluntly, if I were to be on guard against you now, or even offend you, it would make it easier for you to find an opportunity to deal with me."

...Is this guy really Siegfried?

Damn it, if you had even half the brains you have now back then, you wouldn't have taken your daughter and caused all that trouble at Schicksal.

At this moment, Siegfried looked at the promising young man before him and chose to extend an offer once more.

"How about you reconsider joining Anti-Entropy? Believe me, working under him—"

"It's still better than colluding with Cocolia."

Lin Yu said this while activating the ability of the Voidpower Gem Shard.

"It's not that I look down on Anti-Entropy, but with Anti-Entropy in its current state, who would believe you if you told them it's an organization fighting the Honkai?"

"Well, there are still good people in Anti-Entropy..."

"What good are good people if they can't even control Cocolia? Anti-Entropy is practically Cocolia's to command now."

"Over at Schicksal, the Archbishop isn't a good person, true, but he's kept Schicksal very clean. Only a few places are truly corrupt."

"But Anti-Entropy—Cocolia controls half of it. If she's rotten, Anti-Entropy is rotten with her."

"Mr. Siegfried, I treat you with this attitude because I respect you as a hero."

"You keep trying to drag me into a fire pit, and that's going too far."

...Damn, damn, damn, how is this kid's thinking so clear at a time like this?

Sigh, but he's not wrong.

If it weren't for Cocolia's reckless actions, would Anti-Entropy be in such chaos?

Ryoma was almost on solid ground here in the Far East. If Theresa had cooperated, the entire Far East could have gradually become our territory.

And now, Cocolia has dealt with Ryoma in one fell swoop, all his hidden preparations are ruined, and Anti-Entropy's reputation is ruined...

Oh, and if she brings her Titans here, I bet the treasury will have to tighten its belt even further.

"Alright, now, please close your eyes."

The moment he said this, Lin Yu activated the Phantasm Lantern Barrier again, rewriting Siegfried's perception of him.

After the rewrite, Siegfried's perception was that Lin Yu was merely a Schicksal member who hadn't attacked him after defeating the Herrscher of Thunder.

With all that done, Lin Yu and Siegfried's consciousnesses immediately returned to reality.

When Siegfried opened his eyes, he suddenly remembered a piece of memory that had appeared in his mind.

Hmm, wait, Welt told me he found out Kiana is the current S-rank Valkyrie Durandal???

Good kid, I don't know where he's been hiding, but he's been investigating Kiana's whereabouts for me...

Honestly, it's a little touching.

But now...

Looking at Lin Yu before him, Siegfried still eyed him with a hint of caution.

Lin Yu's actions and the feeling he gave off made it impossible for Siegfried to harbor any hostility towards him.

But Siegfried had to be careful now.

After all, he was from Schicksal.

And his loyalty was very high... Damn Cocolia, if it weren't for you, many things wouldn't be so difficult.

Gazing at the man before him, Lin Yu pondered for a moment and decided to test another active skill he had acquired.

After mobilizing the mana within his body through the [Voidpower Gem Shard], Lin Yu, who was confronting Siegfried, directly unleashed the Powerful Healing Technique skill at Siegfried with all his might.

After confirming that Siegfried didn't actually harbor any hostility towards him, Lin Yu had already decided to use this skill on him.

The secondary reason was that he felt he had been too harsh just now.

The primary reason, however, was that Lin Yu now needed a temporary ally who could fight.

It was shameful to admit, but with his current strength, returning to Changkong City was not a small feat.

The reason he was able to rush over here was because he was protected by the HSN Honkai Energy Serum.

With the HSN Honkai Energy Serum protecting him, Lin Yu must have seemed like an indescribable... thing... to the Honkai Beasts, so repulsive that they didn't even want to approach him.

But now, the HSN Serum on him had been mostly consumed in the battle with the Herrscher of Thunder.

For Lin Yu to ride his motorcycle and take Raiden Mei back now...

The combination of Royal Guard, Mirror Mind, and Cosmic Phantom gave him incredible burst damage in one-on-one fights against people, that was true.

But with so many Honkai Beasts, he felt that even if he activated Mirror Mind, he'd just be walking into a slaughter.

Moreover, ever since he parted ways with Raiden Mei, he hadn't rested at all, except for that brief period sleeping on Kiana.

If he hadn't known beforehand that the Herrscher of Thunder would come looking for trouble, and if his survival instinct hadn't been so incredibly strong, he suspected that without that surge of survival instinct, he might have been too exhausted to even activate Mirror Mind.

As for the Phantasm Lantern Barrier, he wasn't even sure if it would be useful against Honkai Beasts.

At a time like this, if he were to risk his life on something like this, it would be fine if it succeeded, but if it backfired and he died, it would be too foolish.

Meanwhile, Siegfried, who was facing Lin Yu, suddenly sensed a... energy fluctuation from Lin Yu.

This wasn't Honkai Energy.

Still harboring doubts, Siegfried didn't dare to act rashly.

After a minute of awkward standoff, Siegfried suddenly looked sharply at his left hand.

"This...!"

At that moment, Siegfried felt a warm sensation at the site of his left arm, which had been severed years ago.

My left hand... my left hand is recovering?!

Although the progress was extremely slow, Siegfried could feel his left arm slowly starting to regrow.

Then, this warmth even spread throughout his entire body, healing a significant portion of his injuries.

It wasn't enough to immediately restore his strength to its peak, but Siegfried could clearly feel that even his internal hidden injuries had been partially repaired.

On the other side, Lin Yu, having expended a large amount of mana, glanced at the shocked expression on Siegfried's face and let out a slight sigh.

Siegfried's gaze at the healing of his severed left arm confirmed Lin Yu's guess.

The 'old wound healing effect' mentioned in the description of Powerful Healing Technique at full power indeed worked on severed limbs.

But a new problem arose: why was Siegfried's arm growing back so slowly?

And my mana bar is empty after using Phantasm Lantern Barrier twice and then Powerful Healing Technique once. This is too draining.

[I should mention, please consider the actual situation, host.]

[Using spells on strong individuals definitely consumes more mana than using them on weaklings, you know.]

[Furthermore, Siegfried's body, while inherently strong, is also severely damaged. Healing a strong body naturally requires more mana.]

Never mind then.

He had at least tested the limits of two new abilities. As for what comes next...

"Why are you staring at me like that?"

He had to play dumb; he couldn't let Siegfried confirm that he was the one using the healing technique.

"...You didn't do this?"

Looking at the young man before him, Siegfried ultimately chose to put away Flame-Chaser's Judgment.

"Little brother Lin Yu, to be honest, I don't really want to fight you right now."

"Agreed, I feel the same way."

"And right now, I think even though we're not on the same side, we at least have a common enemy."

"Agreed, I feel the same way."

"So, why don't you consider joining forces with me?"

"We can join forces, but..."

Lin Yu said exasperatedly, looking at Siegfried extending his right hand.

"Mei is not something I can hand over to you."

"But Otto—"

"Archbishop Otto isn't a fool; for him, nurturing a Herrscher into a subordinate is far more valuable than messing around blindly."

"Mei still has a chance to survive by returning to Schicksal. If she goes with you, Cocolia will come after you, and the Archbishop will come after you. Being hunted by both sides, you won't be able to protect Mei, let alone yourself."

"Changkong City has already gathered a large number of Anti-Entropy and Schicksal forces. I don't know if they've started fighting, but I know they're after Mei."

"You can think whatever you want for yourself, I can't control that, but if you drag others down to die with you, I definitely won't agree."

...Right.

Thinking about the current situation, Siegfried felt a headache coming on.

He wanted to bring his old friend's daughter to a safe place, but the current circumstances no longer allowed him to do so.

Although the large-scale Honkai caused by Mei wasn't as widespread as during the Second Honkai Eruption, this Honkai Energy was still spreading outwards.

If Siegfried were to continue his actions now, he would have to fight his way through this sea of Honkai Beasts on foot.

For him, fighting his way out wasn't a difficult task.

Even Siegfried, with his body covered in old wounds, had no fear of these lower-level Honkai Beasts, let alone now that most of his injuries had been healed.

But the problem is, what happens after we break out?

Once he charges out at his own pace, Cocolia's chances of attacking become much higher.

No, rather, it's already strange that Cocolia hasn't made a move yet.

"Besides, even if you think you're a great fighter, your hardware isn't up to par."

Lin Yu pointed to Siegfried's severed arm and said speechlessly.

"You only have one arm right now. If you fight, you can only keep Mei secured behind you."

"With you like this, carrying Mei, can you really guarantee her safety?"

"It's better to join forces with me. I'll ensure Mei's safety, and you can be responsible for fighting and clearing the path."

"You guy..."

Looking at Lin Yu's calm expression, Siegfried felt something was off.

"You're using me, fine, but can't you at least pretend?"

"It's just a matter of mutual benefit. You need Mei to be safe, and I need someone who can fight to lead me out."

"At least for now, our interests truly align."

After pulling two motorcycles he had prepared in advance from his storage space, Lin Yu tossed the key to one of them to Siegfried.

"They're full of gas. Once we're out of the battlefield, I don't care what you do."

Telekinesis???

Siegfried, who had seen Lin Yu produce a plastic chair before, felt a bit uneasy now.

He really wanted to ask something about this phenomenon, but Siegfried knew very well that the other party might not answer honestly.

Moreover, regarding the application of spatial abilities
