In Honkai, I Found a Kiana

Lin Nai hummed a song with a wicked grin, pushing the door open and walking out.

Leaving behind two naked men, suspended from the ceiling, their eyes filled with terror.

Stepping out of the room, Lin Nai glanced around.

"It's so quiet. All those gang members are gone too..."

Speaking of which, cars couldn't even drive in here, so no one would be shooting at me.

Thump thump thump—

Footsteps approached.

Lin Nai turned to look.

The approaching person had short, presumably gray hair, and a hood obscured their face, making it hard to see clearly.

The hood had eye-like metal decorations.

It was hard to tell what they resembled.

Rose-red eyes, with pupils shaped like a snake's, and a beauty mark on the left corner of their mouth.

They wore a cape, primarily black with wine-red accents, and the clothing was reinforced with numerous leather straps.

There was a feather decoration on the left shoulder, the cuffs resembled bird wings, and both hands were adorned with sharp, wine-red finger covers.

"So, who are you?"

"A passing mercenary. Hmm... I didn't expect you to be out already."

"Hm?"

Chapter 6: Kiana: Crush Them Like a Storm!

"I didn't expect an unexpected person to show up. A mercenary? Are you here for me too?"

"Yes, just an order from my superior."

The other nodded, pondering for a moment. "But I can tell my superior I was late."

"Huh? Weren't you supposed to be guarding me?"

"Guarding you was their mission. I wasn't with them in the first place," the woman in front said.

Lin Nai cautiously sized her up a few times, feeling that the other person looked somewhat familiar...

Like they'd seen them somewhere before.

Mercenary, gray hair, hood...

For some reason, an image flashed in Lin Nai's mind.

A woman pacing back and forth, running, rolling.

Finally facing the sunset, shouting that no matter the cost, humanity would defeat Honkai...

Ah...

Mm.

It's Raven.

An illustration is available here, viewable after updating the version.

"Oh, and by the way, you'd better go that way. There's no one there."

"Ah... Thanks."

"You're welcome."

Lin Nai looked at the person still standing in front of them. "Um... do you need anything else?"

"Cough... Um, can I touch you?"

"Huh?"

Lin Nai's expression was peculiar. "Hey, I'm not just anyone!"

"Cough cough... Sorry..."

The other person immediately apologized. It was mainly because they hadn't seen a child like this before, giving off an innocent, harmless vibe.

It's just that when they actually fought, they were truly ruthless.

How to put it.

Completely different from how they seemed.

Most importantly... they really hadn't seen a child like this before.

It made them a little antsy.

"However, since you pointed me in the right direction, I can let you touch me."

Lin Nai wasn't doing this just because she was a big sister!

Hmph!

[Tsundere behavior has no market value.]

Lin Nai: Hey, hey, hey, I can't just say it out loud, can I? I have some dignity.

[Then it's fine.]

"Thank you, I won't be polite."

Miss Raven extended her hand and gently patted Lin Nai's head.

A satisfied smile appeared from under the hood.

What a nice feel.

Lin Nai: ???

Is this something that can be described as having a nice feel?

"Alright, that's enough for now, don't push your luck," Lin Nai took a step back.

"Sorry, sorry."

"Well then, I'm leaving. Thank you, big sis," Lin Nai waved and walked in the direction Raven had pointed.

Raven, meanwhile, heard a ringing sound and took out her phone from her pocket.

"Hello?"

"Raven."

"It's Gray Snake, what's up?"

"Did it feel good?"

"Eh? Ehhh?!" Raven's pupils contracted, and she fearfully looked around.

She spotted a camera not far away.

Caught slacking off and letting the target go by her superior.

What should she do? Waiting online, desperate (doomed)!

Raven: It's over...

"Your salary will be docked."

"Noooo!!"

Meanwhile, in the lobby.

A person wearing a black hoodie with green accents, a hood, and the character "Wu" on the left hem sat on a sofa.

This person had many cybernetic implants, with both limbs and eyes being prosthetic.

They wore a white mask that only exposed the right eye, featuring a black design of two crossed daggers.

The exposed right eye flickered with green light, then turned red.

"Heh heh, that, esteemed Gray Snake, regarding our transaction..."

"Mm, you've captured the person. This money is yours."

Gray Snake placed two chests on the table, filled with stacks of cash.

The eyes of the three gang leaders lit up!

So much money!

This is too much!!

"However."

"Hm?"

All three were stunned.

Gray Snake placed a revolver on the table: "There are two bullets in here. Only those who survive can take this money."

"Ha? What are you saying..."

The hot-tempered Blythe suddenly stood up, about to say something, when a hole appeared in his head.

Blood slowly dripped down.

The bald, burly man collapsed on the ground.

Gray Snake placed the revolver back on the table: "There's one shot left."

The remaining two leaders were completely terrified. They hadn't expected someone to die so instantly.

Such speed...

They would likely die the moment they even reached for their guns.

"Because I only commissioned one person, and it's difficult to split this much money into three portions, isn't it?"

"This is for your own good, too."

Gray Snake produced a knife from who knows where. "Of course, you can try your luck too. Within seven steps, who's faster, the gun or the knife?"

The two gang leaders were already trembling. One of them, mustering his courage, picked up his gun.

But he didn't have the guts to aim it at Gray Snake.

That display had completely intimidated the two of them.

In the end, the two so-called leaders began their game of Russian Roulette.

Lin Nai, who had somehow positioned themselves on higher ground to watch the scene, exclaimed, "Magnificent!"

So much for your backstabbing drama?

But only one of them will die, then?

Lin Nai propped their chin up with one hand, watching the rather mysterious figure.

They couldn't even see their face.

So, who is that guy?

He arrived later and only saw the two of them starting the death game of Russian Roulette.

He hadn't heard any of the preceding events.

Speaking of which, should I go down there and join the fun?

Yeah, I should go down. Try to get a couple of kills?

BANG!!
