A Person in Honkai: Star Rail, a Healer

What the heck?

He's back again?

"In 1997, I learned to drive a car. I ran over more than a thousand people going uphill and downhill."

"Huh? Damn!"

Lin Nai looked around blankly. A minivan suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

It crashed straight into him, sending him flying several meters.

He rolled on the ground twice, then Lin Nai slammed his hand on the ground, got up, and slid another few dozen centimeters on one knee.

When he looked up again, the minivan had already disappeared.

"System? Are you there?"

[I am. Someone is trying to enter your dream.]

"Wait... so this dream has something to do with them?"

[A little.]

"Do you know who it is?" Lin Nai stood up from the ground and asked the System.

[I don't know. They ran away.]

"Ran away..."

Since they ran away, there was nothing he could do.

But he didn't expect to have that kind of dream again this time.

Speaking of which, did he go somewhere today that triggered this situation?

Rubbing his chin, Lin Nai began to ponder.

He had a similar dream before, right after he sent the Alien Water Sprite back to the containment room.

And today.

He also went to the containment room and stared at the Mask of the Fool for a long time.

The containment room and the Mask of the Fool were the points that overlapped and seemed eerily strange in Lin Nai's eyes.

Hmm...

Lin Nai: I have a plan.

[You have another plan?]

"It's a bit risky, but worth a try. If it weren't for you, System, I wouldn't have been able to get out of that dream before..."

Does this mean that Asta and the others are in the exact same situation as him?

He had no other options right now, and he had to try even if there was only a sliver of hope.

"By the way, how do I wake up now?"

[Hmm! Just bear with it! It's going to be big next!]

"Big? Big wha... Hmph! Hmph-hmph-ahhhhhhh!!!"

---Divider---

"Ahhhhhh!"

Lin Nai kicked out the coffin lid, no, the lid of the Sleep Pod.

He sat up, gasping for breath and clutching his chest.

Then he looked around and was startled.

At some point, the lab technicians had all gathered around, looking at him with concern.

"Lin Nai, are you alright?" the responsible technician asked with concern.

If something happened to Lin Nai.

He would probably be finished.

In all sorts of ways.

"No... I'm fine... Why are you all gathered here?"

"We just discovered that the wavelength of your brainwaves was abnormal."

Chadao explained the problem and handed the tablet to Lin Nai: "The one above is the wavelength of a normal person after falling asleep, and the one below is the wavelength when you were tested."

"It was normal at first, but then it became more and more abnormal. The wavelengths were even like drawings, with things like baby faces, the sun, and minivans."

"..." Lin Nai rubbed his temples. Everything on it had appeared in his dream just now.

"So, did something happen?"

"No, it's nothing. It's my problem." Lin Nai waved his hand. "Your experiment was very successful."

"It doesn't look successful at all..."

"Really, you've done a great job. Keep it up, keep going."

Lin Nai stretched his body and climbed out of the sleep pod.

The System's last attack was way too over the top.

He almost thought he'd been hit by a truck again.

Lin Nai looked at the person in charge. "By the way, that potion you gave me before... was it really just for calming the nerves?"

"Yes, that's right."

"Who made that potion?"

"A staff member named Joey. Many of his suggestions were incorporated into this machine."

"That guy is quite capable, huh?"

Lin Nai had a look of realization.

The last time he saw Joey was a few days ago when he gave him a bottle of kidney tonic.

That was to boost energy.

At the very least, Abraham and the others were invigorated after drinking it and no longer felt drowsy.

"Oh, and also, just to ask, how do you usually exit?"

"Huh? There's a time limit. Generally, you'll be automatically logged out after eight hours."

"..."

Lin Nai felt his own body.

Forget it.

He needed to wake up and get things done quickly. If he slept for eight hours, who knows how long it would take to finish anything.

After that, Lin Nai took his leave.

He was going to verify his idea next.

He hoped this plan wouldn't be useless, like the one proposed by the "Idea King of the West."

Chapter 17: Bring it on, I'll pluck all your masks!

Black Tower Space Station · Support Module

After leaving the laboratory, Lin Nai rushed to the Artifact Containment Room.

Using the Dragon Fang's card holder, Lin Nai walked out of the mirror, moving faster than usual.

There were no staff members in the mirror world, so he could move at full speed.

Fortunately, the card holder and his contracted beasts had been modified by the System.

He could exit from any mirror, and the Dark Dragon didn't need to eat.

Otherwise, it would be a bit troublesome.

He couldn't exactly find some people to feed the Dark Dragon, could he?

He wasn't some kind of demon.

Lin Nai felt he was quite compassionate.

Soon.

Lin Nai emerged from the glass containing the Mask of the Fool.

As soon as he appeared, Lin Nai sensed that familiar feeling of being watched. He turned and met the mask's gaze.

Three seconds later.

Lin Nai decisively gave it the middle finger.

Thinking about how this thing had caused so much trouble for the space station in such a short time, and even caused Asta to fall into a coma.

Lin Nai's heart burned with anger.

Damn it!

Aha, you bastard!

He couldn't help but shout, "Aha, you're the Diva!"

"You want to enter my dream? Fine, I'll be waiting for you in my dream tonight! If you dare, come over! I guarantee you won't have a good time!"

"Bring it on, I'll pluck all your masks! I'll make you fly with your arrogance!"

Lin Nai furiously hurled threats, deciding to have a massive showdown with Aha in his dream tonight!

Uh.

Of course.

It might be him getting thoroughly defeated, to the point where he wouldn't know which way was up.

Lin Nai: System, you can protect me, right?

"It's hard to say."

"Eek... so can we make peace?"

Lin Nai's expression changed instantly.

Mainly, he had thought it was fine since the System could block Aha from entering his dreams before.

But he hadn't expected it to be hard to say!

Although his original plan was to let Aha come into his dreams.

Now that he had vented for immediate gratification, Aha might just send him flying.

"...Wait there, I'll go get some backup. Just wait for me to come back before you sleep."

The System also hadn't expected its host to be so bold when angry.

He had always been saying he had no power, so why was he daring to provoke them now?

Was seeking peace now just a joke?

Forget it, it was better to call for backup to cover their tracks.

It just so happened that she had the means.

Otherwise, her poor host might end up being beaten down by Aha and dragged back to be used as Star's rage power!

Lin Nai: Damn System! Why do you have such a vivid imagination!!

But...

The outcome was unchangeable, and their host was definitely going to become a spectacle.

Miss System felt deeply worried for her host, but there was nothing she could do now.

Hopefully, he'd be alright.
