A Healer in Honkai: Star Rail

The four looked at each other.

"Yo, isn't this Dan Heng!" Lin Nai was stunned for a moment before greeting him.

He had seen Dan Heng on the Stellar Express a few years ago and they were considered friends.

Dan Heng nodded, "Long time no see, Lin Nai. Station Commander Asta sent us to find you."

"Huh? Sorry..."

While waiting for Xing to wake up, Lin Nai had even sent Asta a message saying he was fine.

Was this the turning of fate's gears?

A meeting of the Fate's Thread, the cold-faced Azure Dragon, and Galaxy Bat-Man?

March Seven: Hey! Why don't I have a cooler nickname!

"Are you injured?" Dan Heng asked with concern.

"No, after all these years, I've gotten a bit stronger."

Dan Heng nodded slightly, then his gaze fell on the person next to Lin Nai.

"Who is she..."

"Just a little accident. You can just call her Xing."

"Is that so." Dan Heng didn't press further. "Then let's go."

"Sure." Lin Nai looked at March Seven and pretended not to know her, "And who is this..."

He knew March Seven.

But March Seven didn't know him.

So, an introduction was still necessary.

"A new member of the train crew, March Seven," Dan Heng introduced briefly.

"Hello there~"

"Hello, March Seven."

After speaking, Lin Nai's movements paused.

His eyes sharpened, and he suddenly turned his head to look in a certain direction.

Dan Heng also frowned, his spear appearing in his hand.

"It seems now is not the time for idle chat."

"Yeah, March, get rea—"

"No need."

Lin Nai held up a hand, signaling Dan Heng to step back. He could handle this completely.

Although Dan Heng was confused, he didn't ask why.

"Xing, you just came out, want me to show you something cool?"

"Show me something cool?"

"Yeah, watch this, the combat power of a medical personnel."

Lin Nai led the way out of the Curio Containment Room. The other three looked at each other and followed.

Immediately after.

Everyone saw a colossal beast resembling a centaur.

"Whoa! It's a Stomper!" March Seven exclaimed, startled, and immediately took out her bow.

Dan Heng also held up his spear, "Lin Nai!"

"It's fine, leave it to me."

"..." Dan Heng was silent for a moment but remained highly vigilant.

If that Stomper made any move to harm Lin Nai, he would shoot it.

Let it know... what a long slumber felt like!

Xing stirred, wanting to help, but realized she didn't have any weapons.

Glancing at a baseball bat at her feet, Xing decided to borrow it.

She picked up the baseball bat, readying herself.

By the way, why was there a baseball bat here?

The Stomper looked at the tiny human before it, let out a roar, and stomped forward with its front hooves!

Bang!!

Lin Nai caught the Stomper's front hooves, his black hair turning red as it began to burn like fire!

"Hya!!"

Crack crack crack—

The Stomper sensed something, its body was falling apart!

It couldn't help but let out a mournful cry!

Too bad it was useless!

The Stomper's body was torn apart bit by bit!

Lin Nai grinned and exerted more force, tearing the entire Stomper apart and tossing it aside.

Dan Heng: ???

March Seven: ???

Xing: Wow…

The three of them felt as if they had seen the universe at that moment.

Their brains had crashed.

"Hoo…" Lin Nai turned around, his eyes immediately falling on the baseball bat in Xing's hand.

Hm…

Galaxy Bat-Man, arriving late but present?

"…You're much stronger than you were a few years ago." Dan Heng pondered for a long time before finally managing to say this.

No way.

What kind of normal person tears apart a Stomper with their bare hands?

"I've been growing, after all." Lin Nai gave a thumbs-up. "Let's go."

"Mm… alright."

Afterward, with Lin Nai going on a rampage and deliberately leaving some enemies for Xing to gain combat experience…

Half an hour later.

They finally arrived at the main control segment of the Black Tower Space Station.

Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Star Core Matures!

"Woohoo! Sister Himeko! Long time no see!"

Upon arriving at the main control segment, Lin Nai's eyes immediately landed on the red-haired beauty.

He greeted her enthusiastically.

Himeko heard the voice and looked over, only to freeze for a moment when she saw Lin Nai.

"Little Lin Nai, when did you dye your hair?"

Didn't he have black hair with just a streak of blue before?

Now why did he have red hair with just a streak of blue?

Oh.

Even his eyes, which were like sapphires before, had changed. Now they were… rubies?

Did he wear colored contacts?

But Himeko thought it looked quite good.

"It's a long story, and a bit troublesome to explain. Just think of it as me awakening."

It wouldn't be impossible for him to change back now…

But Lin Nai remembered.

There would likely be another big trouble later, so it was better to maintain this state for now.

The other party couldn't be reasoned with anyway.

It would be best to just incinerate them then.

"Is that so?" Himeko nodded. "How is it? Has Little March Seven caused any trouble?"

"Sister Himeko~ I don't cause trouble every time!" March Seven said indignantly.

Besides.

She didn't even have a chance this time.

The enemies blocking their path were basically all dismantled by Lin Nai with his bare hands.

Broken necks, broken arms, broken legs.

Come to think of it, none of those Void Trotters seemed to have left behind a complete corpse.

"March Seven, she's a very lively girl."

"Of course! That's just the kind of person I am!" March Seven put her hands on her hips.

Himeko just smiled and said to Lin Nai, "Let's go. Asta is quite worried about you."

"Ah..."

Lin Nai paused.

How to put it.

It felt like coming home after a long time playing outside, only to hear your parents waiting nearby with a clothes hanger.

The feeling was a bit... peculiar.

As they walked towards the control center, Kizuna cast a meaningful glance at Xing.

After that, the four of them followed Kizuna to where Asta was.

This was the control center of the main control section.

Asta was directing everything from this place, ensuring the space station continued to operate in an orderly fashion.

"Projection radar normal, telemetry signal frequency is too high, must maintain at average levels."

"According to predictions, the Anti-Matter Legion may still attack, all departments please be prepared."

After Asta finished giving her instructions, Lin Nai, who had been standing to the side, finally spoke:

"Asta, I'm back."

"Lin Nai! You're not injured... What happened to your hair?" Asta turned her head, immediately noticing something was wrong. "Why is your hair red?"

"Uh, it'll change back soon, it's fine."

"Alright."

Asta curiously reached out to touch it, but it didn't seem like the texture had changed...

It was just a little warm.
