Someone in Honkai: Star Rail, a Healer

Aha stroked his chin and commented with mock seriousness.

Lin Nai leaned against the headboard. "So what exactly are you trying to do?"

"I'm here to personally act it out with you~ Don't thank me~ you little fry."

Aha reached out and gently lifted Lin Nai's chin.

Lin Nai's expression remained blank.

"Eh? That's strange. It was fine when that Topaz did it, and I'm using her image."

Seeing Lin Nai's lack of reaction, Aha scratched his head, looking puzzled.

Lin Nai slapped Aha's hand away. "The moment I think it's you, the trickster, I lose all interest."

"Tsk, Aha's reputation is ruined..." Aha muttered, then collapsed into Lin Nai's arms.

Lin Nai, disgusted, tried to push him away.

Just then, the door opened and Asta walked in, looking as if she'd seen it all before.

"Here we go again... What do you want this time? For me to watch Lin Nai and Topaz go at it?"

Asta looked speechless. She'd seen this scene too many times already; it was time to stop.

She didn't want to comment anymore.

She'd been through enough these past few days: Lin Nai and Topaz's affair, Lin Nai being beaten to the ground by Ms. Black Tower and turning into Stellar Rage.

Tsk!

These dreams were all different, not even repeating!

What a nightmare!

Even a refined young lady like Asta was a bit overwhelmed.

She couldn't take it anymore!

She wanted to unleash ninety-nine million horsepower and punch that wicked woman Topaz!

Then, she'd quickly find a way back to reality and keep an eye on Lin Nai!

Lin Nai was still too young. As his older sister, she had to look after him!

Yes!

With that thought, Asta produced a cleaver from who-knows-where.

Today!

She would kill that person.

Staring at the scene before him, Lin Nai was silent for a few seconds.

Well, it seemed like he was going to cosplay Makoto in his dream today?

Ha!

Aha, you bastard! You're enjoying this immensely!

What if the two of us were going to cosplay Makoto together!

Aha: What if I could detach myself and just watch from the sidelines?

Lin Nai: You m—

Aha: —other.

Lin Nai: ...Alright, alright, 6.

After that.

Lin Nai's vision went black. When he saw the scene again, he was looking at the infant sun.

Well...

He had probably returned to his own dream.

"How is it? Isn't it interesting! Hahahaha!"

Aha laughed unrestrainedly.

Lin Nai rubbed his temples, his head aching. Judging by Asta's expression, this wasn't the first time.

He suddenly understood why Asta had been looking at him that way these past few days.

But who could have predicted this!

The temptation to go home?

"Alright, that's all for today, my dear friend. I'm looking forward to your next move."

"And I'll be waiting for you in the pink-haired girl's dream. Keep up the good work! Hahahaha!"

"..."

As Aha's words fell, Lin Nai felt darkness envelop him once more.

He opened his eyes again.

He found himself lying on the bed, facing the familiar ceiling.

He had been looking at this ceiling for several years.

"Damn it... that Aha guy..."

Things had gotten more troublesome.

Good news: the mastermind had revealed themselves.

Bad news: there was no way to deal with them.

Conclusion: I'm screwed!

Aha's last words were that he had prepared a challenge in Asta's dream.

But...

How was he supposed to enter Asta's dream?

This was truly a difficult problem.

Rubbing his head, Lin Nai glanced at the time. It was only three in the morning.

So, during the remaining time.

He would read all the research materials from the lab.

Perhaps it would be helpful?

After all, there was no other way now.

Chapter Nineteen · Person in Charge: Xixi Wuzhe...

The next day.

Looking at the clock showing 9:00, Lin Nai yawned.

He didn't know how long it had been since he stayed up late.

It felt a bit unaccustomed to suddenly doing so.

Thinking back to the past...

He could stay up all night for several days (dragged by Asta to watch dramas).

He couldn't do that anymore.

Lin Nai patted his cheeks, snapping out of his memories.

Time was of the essence, and he couldn't afford to stop.

There was still so much to do; if he rested any longer, he wouldn't finish reading!

Lin Nai's gaze was somewhat unfocused as he looked at the stack of materials on the table, which he was finally about to finish.

Soon...

It would be over soon...

"Hoo, System, give me a big one."

Lin Nai took a deep breath. Alright, time to speed things up!

[I've been ready for a long time!]

"Ngh!!"

Lin Nai felt a sharp pain in his body at that moment, veins bulging on his forehead!

His mind was completely awake.

Lin Nai gritted his teeth and continued to flip through the materials.

There was too little time.

There was so much to confirm, so much to learn.

He had to be fast.

Faster!

[Random Skill: Gauss Acceleration]

"...I say, System, why do you keep giving me Gauss's skills lately?"

[How would I know? It's not like I thought of it.]

That's true.

He wasn't like Gauss either.

Gauss would start cremating people if negotiations failed, while he just wanted to cremate enemies when he encountered them.

Oh.

Right, speaking of Gauss...

Lin Nai's hand, flipping through the documents, suddenly paused. Did he have some kind of skill that digitized things?

[Moon God Digitization]

"In the original story, didn't that move enter someone's dream?"

[...I thought you knew.]

"Damn it."

Lin Nai smacked his head. Well, what was the point of him reading books all night?

He had completely forgotten he even had such a move.

Ever since the System gave him this move three days ago, Lin Nai had basically never used it.

Over time, he naturally forgot about it.

Until now.

"But this way it's much simpler." Lin Nai got up, exhausted. "Since that's the case, I'll head to the laboratory next and borrow the machine."

Not long after.

Lin Nai looked at the busy laboratory with a puzzled expression.

What was going on now?

"Sleep? What sleep! At your age, how can you sleep! Get up and get to work!"

"Work? What work! It's past ten, what the hell are we doing! Let's go for tea, all this work is useless!"
