Someone in Honkai: Star Rail, a Healer

This machine has been upgraded countless times through the combined efforts of Ruan Mei, Screwllum, and herself.

But every time Lin Nai checked it, it was completely useless.

It's truly baffling.

Where exactly is the problem?

"How would I know..."

Lin Nai leaned back in his chair, listlessly swiping at his phone.

He was clearly lacking energy.

Weak and listless.

Black Tower glanced at Lin Nai in surprise, "What's wrong with you? Why are you so unenergetic? How can someone your age be in such a state?"

Lin Nai, this kid, should have plenty of energy every day, aside from not getting enough sleep!

According to the information from the automaton.

Lin Nai slept well yesterday and didn't have any nightmares during the night.

"For some reason, Asta has been looking at me strangely lately?" Lin Nai sighed, "I don't think I've done anything to her..."

It seemed to have started three days ago after he came out of the medical department.

It couldn't be that the clerk complained to Asta, right?

That shouldn't be the case.

Even when Asta saw him using black silk to disturb things, she hadn't looked at him with that kind of gaze. Although her gaze had been a bit peculiar before, too.

It's… it's really strange.

"It's probably because you did something weird again."

Black Tower dismissed it nonchalantly.

Lin Nai had done quite a few strange things.

For example, driving a jeep around the training grounds chasing the security department during special training, and saying he was going to crash into the car.

Or asking Arlan to sing a song called Qiuqiu Ballad, and having Peppy perform a backflip…

The most crucial part was that Peppy could actually do a backflip!

Lin Nai: That little guy can even put on his own space suit, what's so special about a backflip?

In short, Lin Nai's actions were sometimes meaningless.

Oh, except for Peppy's backflip, which many staff members went to watch that day.

Black Tower's assessment was: no animal performances.

So it was common for Asta to look at Lin Nai with a complex gaze.

"It's not that subtle... how should I describe it..."

How to describe that gaze?

Three parts sorrow, three parts anger, three parts dissatisfaction, and one part disbelief.

It was just…

Quite strange.

It wasn't that he had never seen such a look before.

The last time he saw it was the last time…

Pfft, it was the look in the female lead's eyes when Asta dragged him to watch a melodramatic romance drama before.

"So, you really haven't done anything strange lately?"

"Of course not! What kind of person do you think I am!"

"You heartless little brat."

"?"

Question marks appeared above Lin Nai's head: "How am I heartless!!"

"Last week, you wouldn't even let me test you!"

"You bastard..."

Lin Nai's blood pressure surged for a moment, but it quickly dropped, and he slumped back into his chair.

He still couldn't figure out what Asta's gaze meant.

Angry?

That shouldn't be it.

Asta was too good-tempered.

In all these years, Lin Nai had rarely seen Asta get angry.

At the very least, she never really got angry at him.

The only time was when he ran away from the space station to a planet he didn't even know the name of.

After being discovered by chance by the Express, Ms. Himeko sent him back to the space station, and the first thing Asta did was scold him fiercely.

At that time, Asta was really close to hitting him.

"If you're curious, why don't you just ask?"

Herta said, looking down and flipping through the report again, without even looking up.

She really didn't understand why this guy was so hesitant.

Earlier, in his room, he had told that Stellaron Hunter kid that no matter what difficulties he encountered, he should face them with a smile.

But when it came to her, he started hesitating.

Don't misunderstand.

Herta had no intention of monitoring Lin Nai.

She just happened to see him!

Mm.

By chance.

Lin Nai's mouth twitched: "How can I ask about this? I have no topic to start with..."

He couldn't just go up and say.

"Hey, Asta, you've been staring at me with fan-shaped statistical charts every day lately, and I'm very curious."

Something like that, right?

"Then why don't you ask Arlan? Maybe he'll know?"

"Arlan... I doubt it?" Lin Nai put his hands behind his head. Peppy spent more time with Arlan than with Asta.

It seemed that ever since he and Asta got along well.

Arlan had dumped a lot of the responsibility of taking care of Asta onto him.

"But there's no other way. I'll go ask now."

Lin Nai said, getting up to leave.

He was really curious.

What reason could possibly make Asta look at him with those fan-shaped statistical chart eyes.

"Hmm... wait a moment, I know you're in a hurry, but please don't... Hey! Wait!"

Herta had just looked up when she realized Lin Nai had already run out of the office and headed straight for the Security Department.

The office was left with the true owner of the space station, extending her hand in a gesture like Er Kang.

"Tsk..."

Herta pouted and retracted her hand:

"That guy is really impatient... Oh well, I'll make his next physical examination a bit more difficult."

Shaking her head, Herta sorted Lin Nai's recent physical examination reports in her briefcase and got up, ready to leave.

Next, she had to go find Ruan Mei and the others.

She needed to resolve this matter.

And so.

The geniuses were about to fall into an unsolvable mystery.

Chapter Thirteen: Nine points out of ten are definitely wrong!

At this time, Lin Nai, who had just left Herta's office, had already arrived at the Security Department managed by Arlan.

As soon as he entered the door.

Lin Nai saw three people sleeping on the table. He then looked at the others and found that most of them looked listless.

What's going on?

"Oi! Wake up! It's working hours." Lin Nai patted the face of a groggy person: "If you waste too much time, things won't get done."

"Mmm..."

The person looked up and rubbed their eyes: "Ah... it's Big Brother Lin Nai."

"Abraham? What's going on with you guys? And are you guys slacking off this openly now? Arlan isn't stopping you?"

"Sorry, Big Brother Lin Nai, I don't know why, but I don't have much strength today..."

"Did you guys not sleep well last night? No, does the Security Department also need to work overtime? Don't you have shifts?"

The security measures on Herta's space station were quite comprehensive.

And under Arlan's leadership, there shouldn't be such a situation where the entire Security Department is sleepy...

The shift changes were also all properly arranged.

"No... I actually had a nightmare," Abraham shook his head. "No... actually, it wasn't a nightmare, but the dream was strange."

"Strange?"

"Yeah, I think I dreamed of Peppy fighting robots, and peach blossoms fighting chrysanthemum monsters. It was... pretty absurd."

"Uh..."

Hearing Abraham say this, Lin Nai couldn't help but recall a dream they'd had before.

It was quite strange too.

"What about them?" Lin Nai pointed to the others.

Abraham shook his head. "I don't know, they were like this when I arrived. Maybe it's similar to me?"

"Is that so... Wait a moment, I'll find something to perk you guys up."

Lin Nai said, then pulled a potion with a black skull drawn on it from their pocket.

Abraham, standing in front of Lin Nai, was stunned.

Abraham: A... a fourth-dimensional pocket?!

Lin Nai: No, it's system space.

"Here, drink it down."

"What is this?"

Abraham took the potion without suspicion, unscrewed the cap, and drank it.
