A Person in Honkai, Found a Kiana

Kiana's confusion deepened. "How did they get down there? And there are no tire tracks nearby..."

"Did you forget the wind that suddenly blew up on our way here? The wind can blow snow and cover tracks."

Lin Nai looked at her like she was an idiot, which annoyed Kiana. She retorted stubbornly, "I... I knew that, of course! I was just testing you!"

"You're quite stubborn."

"Annoying!"

Kiana punched Lin Nai's shoulder, but of course, she didn't put any strength into it.

"But how are we going to get down?"

"How to get down... emmm, Open Sesame?"

"How could that possibly work?"

Lin Nai pondered, "Palace... Oh, this should work in China."

"One, two, three, four, five, go up the mountain to fight a tiger."

"Love you walking alone in the alley?"

"Heavenly king covers the earth tiger, Bronya is 1.5 meters tall!"

"Lin Nai, what on earth are you talking about?" Kiana was exasperated.

He had been muttering things she didn't understand since a while ago.

"Besides, this place is completely different from your region, isn't it? What's common there probably isn't common here..."

"I know, I was just trying to make a meme," Lin Nai spread his hands. But it was true that Bronya was 1.5 meters tall.

Not to mention, Bronya wasn't even 1.5 meters tall now.

For the land of warriors, you should use the slogans of warriors, right?

"Ahem."

Lin Nai cleared his throat and thought for a moment.

"Eat my sword! China's number one sword! White Emperor Holy Sword! Follow me with your sword! Twin Swords Combine! Demacia! Sukabli! Ura!!"

Kiana was full of helplessness as she listened to Lin Nai howl in the wilderness.

How could such slogans be correct?

Not to mention, it sounded like he was speaking in Chinese...

Really.

This idiot...

Crrrack—

A mechanical whirring sound.

Kiana's expression froze, and then she heard a boom.

The platform they were standing on slowly descended.

Kiana: ???

No way!

Are these slogans really okay?!

Kiana's brain trembled.

Kiana: Born by my mother...

Lin Nai was also silent. He was just shouting for fun, he never expected this thing to actually open.

He had actually prepared to blast the door open with his skills.

After all, normally speaking.

Wouldn't this be controlled by people below?

It's only been a few years.

And they already have voice-activated doors?

[You don't need to understand the technology of the Honkai world too clearly.]

That's what they say...

"Lin Nai, what do we do next?"

"I'll go save Bronya, you go look for a place where they train those children."

"Hmm... Didn't you say we should let Bronya break free from her cage herself?" Kiana asked, confused.

Lin Nai looked down and said seriously, "I regret it."

"Since I have the ability to solve all of this, why shouldn't I? Just for the sake of so-called growth, to let that child suffer again... I can't do it."

Rationality told him that he should let Bronya do it herself.

This way Bronya will grow and become stronger.

However, her emotions told her that if you can do it, then do it. You can change many things, as long as you want to.

Lin Nai thought, so Lin Nai would do it.

Moreover, on the way here, Lin Nai had thought a lot and reflected a lot.

He realized he had missed something.

That is, Bronya is very patient and calm.

Knowing how to assess the situation and the surrounding environment, this means that if there's no hope of escape, Bronya might slowly give up.

Lin Nai couldn't gamble on that possibility.

Plus, his heart kept urging him to save her, so it was normal to feel regret.

He's a reckless person with feelings, not a strategist who sets aside emotions to achieve his goals!

As for Kiana?

She doesn't understand, but whatever Lin Nai wants to do, she will help.

The reason?

Because it's Lin Nai.

"I understand, Lin Nai, go ahead and do it!"

"Mhm."

Chapter Fifteen: You Gotta Have Connections When You're Out There

In a damp, dark room.

The light from the candle on the table was not enough to illuminate the entire room.

On the only bed here, the bedding had become moldy, and cockroaches scurried everywhere.

It was clear that no one had been there for a long time.

Bronya was imprisoned, handcuffed, and sitting on the ground.

Bronya looked up at the ceiling.

But in her heart, she wondered if Lin Nai and Kiana were alright.

She was worried that the people here might target them.

Even with extraordinary power, they couldn't withstand an army-like assault, could they?

Perhaps...

She should have left on her own at the time.

If only she had known that guy wasn't dead...

When she returned with that person, Bronya's mind was filled with memories of Lin Nai and Kiana.

People tend to think a lot when they experience regret, fear, nostalgia, and other emotions.

Creak—

The heavy door scraped against the floor.

A middle-aged man in a suit walked in.

The girl looked up, noticing several scars on his face. It seemed surviving came at a price.

"You seem disappointed to see me? Silver Wolf," the man said.

Bronya remained silent.

Of course, she was disappointed.

She thought she had escaped the cage, only to find the cage was still there.

Bronya looked at the man quietly, her eyes devoid of any light, and she had no desire to speak.

The man shook his head, frowning, and said sternly:

"You never wanted to be loyal to me, you wouldn't break the cane, and you don't even want to call me master? What reason makes you disrespect me so much?"

"Hmph!"

Seeing the girl's silence, the man snorted and reached out as if to strike!

Boom!!!!

The man suddenly turned his head, only to see a masked man smashing through the door and into the wall.

"Heh heh heh! I'm here!"

"Lin Nai..."

The girl stared at Lin Nai, who had appeared at the doorway, her eyes filled with surprise.

How could this be?

"Sorry, I'm a little late…"

Huuu, my prediction was correct.

Just now, if the other party had attacked, Bronya might not have resisted.

No…

At this time, she couldn't resist either, or the consequences would be even worse.

Bronya had always been calm, so she knew when to wait and when to endure.

This also meant that it might be a bit difficult for Bronya to break free from the cage on her own.

If she kept enduring, Bronya might end up in that situation again.

Without intelligence, one couldn't unconditionally trust reason; otherwise, this cage would be impossible to solve.

There were still things she hadn't accounted for.

So, she had to do it herself.

Lin Nai put away his smile and looked at the man, ready to punch his head off.

"Heh, you're just a greenhorn."

The man sized Lin Nai up: "Are you good at fighting? What good is fighting anyway?!"

"You need connections to get by, and besides, you're on my turf. Who do you belong to?!"

"Shut your mouth, you punk!" Lin Nai immediately delivered a front kick!

The man, who hadn't reacted at all, was sent flying backward.
