Lin Shuang: "I'm the Ultimate Honkai: Star Rail Top!"
"This earring is beautiful, just like your eyes. Where did you buy it?"
"...!!"
Lin Shuang was stunned.
Damn it!
So that's what I forgot!!
I forgot I was still wearing these earrings.
"Ah, um... it's quite pretty--"
Lin Shuang's mind raced as she considered various solutions and rejected proposals.
However, upon meeting Acheron's curious eyes, Lin Shuang suddenly calmed down, nodded, and raised her hand to pinch Acheron's fingers that were resting on her earlobe.
He gently touched the Ring on Acheron's ring finger:
"Silver Wolf happened to find me when I went out today. We each Silver Wolf one, just like the origin of this Ring."
"... Similar to it?"
Acheron was stunned for a moment, then realized that Lin Shuang's consciousness had also performed a Ritual with that Stellaron Hunter.
That means--
"You've gained new power? What ability?"
Acheron only had a vague sense of unease, but frankly speaking, if it was a similar, purely symbolic Ritual like before, there was no need to worry about any trouble from the Stellaron Hunter.
More than that, she was curious about what new power Lin Shuang had gained as a result.
Lin Shuang looked at Acheron's face, squeezed her hand, and said with a smile:
"An ability that can instantly summon you from the Acheron to my side."
"I?"
Lin Shuang nodded. Acheron then thought for a moment and said:
"Why don't you give it a try? What kind of effect will you expect?"
"Now?"
Lin Shuang was a little embarrassed, mainly because the skill required her to shout a slogan to activate it.
How could you shout that out in front of him...?
But look at Acheron's eyes, as if to say, 'How can a new ability not be tested?'
"I'll go to my room! You wait here for a bit..."
After saying that, Lin Shuang got up and ran into the bedroom.
Acheron watched Lin Shuang close the door with a puzzled expression, wondering why Lin Shuang had been shy just now.
Suddenly, Lin Shuang's voice pleading for help echoed in my mind:
"Help me! Sister Acheron!"
Her voice was soft and fragile, as if she was about to cry at any moment, which made Acheron pause for a moment.
So much so that she didn't even bother to look closely when a Portal swallowed up the Acheron.
Volume 1: Chapter 111 Lin Shuang: I! Honkai: Star Rail 1
The teleportation was quite smooth; Acheron didn't even feel any strange spatial dislocation.
By the time they realized what was happening, they were already standing in front of Lin Shuang.
At this moment, Lin Shuang's mouth was slightly open, as if she hadn't finished speaking.
Acheron raised an eyebrow slightly, savoring the call that had just appeared in his heart.
He smiled at Lin Shuang.
"..."
"... why are you laughing?"
I was already incredibly ashamed to have whispered "Help me, Sister Acheron" while hiding in my room.
They were afraid that these two walls wouldn't be enough to stop Acheron from hearing.
Before the last word had even faded, Acheron was already standing in front of him, sporting a meaningful smile.
Lin Shuang was afraid that this person would turn around and start saying, "Let me see!"
Acheron has never liked to hide anything, so he smiled slightly and said:
"I heard you calling me, didn't I, Sister Lin Shuang?"
"Ah--!"
The moment Lin Shuang uttered the word "sister," she covered her ears and screamed. Then she collapsed onto the bed, trying to escape reality.
She knew it!
Acheron must have heard it!
Acheron found it amusing, so he sat down on the edge of the bed and patted Lin Shuang's bottom.
"And it rang directly in my mind; I guess it's due to the mechanism of this ability. But I didn't expect you to call me 'sister' in private."
As they talked, Acheron seemed to feel a little embarrassed that Lin Shuang had called him "sister" and that he had put his hand on her butt.
After staring at Lin Shuang's upturned buttocks for a couple of seconds, Acheron reached out and patted the top of Lin Shuang's head.
Lin Shuang lay on the bed quietly as Acheron touched her for a while, then suddenly realized something.
She propped herself up on her arms, then turned to look at Acheron:
"Wait a minute... you heard it directly in your head??"
"Yes, and it appeared right in front of you the moment I wanted to respond. That's quite an ability; we should thank that Stellaron Hunter."
Acheron was actually quite satisfied at this moment.
Since this skill can so easily summon her to Lin Shuang's side, Lin Shuang's safety is greatly guaranteed.
She didn't need to worry about not being able to get to the scene Phantylia time if Huanlong launched a sudden attack.
Uh... um...
Upon hearing Acheron's words, Lin Shuang blinked and chose to remain silent.
"But..."
As Acheron spoke, he raised his hand and pinched Lin Shuang's earlobe again.
The way her fingers brushed against her earring made Lin Shuang tense up again.
Call me "sister" again.
"... Where did you get this twisted sense of humor from?"
Lin Shuang didn't dodge Acheron's hand, but she remained stubborn, her neck contorted as she tried to refuse.
"Anyway, we'll call it again in the future, so let it get used to after a few more times."
"..."
Feeling guilty.
Lin Shuang's earlobe was still being played with by Acheron's fingers, constantly reminding her that the Token she had worn with Silver Wolf was still hanging on her ear.
Although! The words are still the same.
Acheron was unaware that the Ritual he and Lin Shuang performed was a contract for some kind of intimate relationship.
Lin Shuang herself never considered Acheron as her female companion because of this.
Moreover, the contract with Silver Wolf is more like a transaction, and Lin Shuang will definitely help with these three marriage contracts in the future.
But...
How should I put it? I just feel a little guilty for no reason.
Fortunately, Acheron didn't really insist that Lin Shuang call him "sister".
To be honest, I was just teasing her.
Seeing Lin Shuang's conflicted expression, Acheron took advantage of her inattention and snapped a picture with his phone.
By the time Lin Shuang realized what was happening, it was too late.
Acheron had already taken back his phone and the hand that was pinching Lin Shuang's earlobe.
They didn't give Lin Shuang a chance to refute or snatch the phone.
Lin Shuang was stunned, both annoyed and amused. This person seemed to be getting more and more frivolous.
"Are you serious? When have I ever snatched your phone?"
"Yes, that's true."
Acheron nodded perfunctorily; to put it bluntly, she didn't believe it.
In that instant, Acheron had a premonition that Lin Shuang would reach out and snatch the phone, otherwise she wouldn't have stopped.
Acheron has always had great faith in his martial arts intuition.
"..."
Lin Shuang was speechless and choked with emotion.
Although she was 1% at fault for momentarily reaching out to grab it, doesn't Acheron have 99% of the blame?
"Let me see, what exactly did you film?"
"Look, it's quite cute."
Acheron flipped his phone over so the screen faced Lin Shuang, and then she saw her own guilty and foolish face.
"Why do you always take such unflattering photos..."
Lin Shuang didn't have that much of a burden, but looking at her own silly appearance, she still found it a little hard to keep up the act.
But Acheron clearly didn't think so.
"Not ugly at all, I think it's cute."
"The moment you called me cute, I was already completely out of the running..."
Lin Shuang let out a long sigh.
To be honest, she really doesn't think of herself as a bottom; she's clearly a top.
But there's no way around it; when you encounter a powerless opponent like Acheron, it's really hard to hold your own.
Fortunately, with the system's help, Acheron's three attributes (nothingness, no intellect, no ability to communicate) are gradually fading.
She's the 'Raiden Gepard' of the railway, after all; she refuses to believe she can't turn the tables and become the dominant one in the future.
Aside from the matter of the Abundant Doses, nothing else noteworthy happened today until tonight.
As usual, I logged into the game while lying in bed that night.
As for how Acheron would manipulate her in reality, Lin Shuang no longer wanted to think about it.
Today was very strange; the Silver Wolf didn't appear, only Firefly walked over with a mixture of curiosity and embarrassment on her face.
Good evening, Lin Shuang.
"Good evening."
Lin Shuang raised her hand, smiled, and greeted Firefly, then asked curiously:
"Why isn't Silver Wolf here? Did he go off to play something else by himself?"
Upon hearing this, Firefly couldn't help but laugh, covering her mouth with one hand, her eyes crinkling into crescents, looking charming and adorable.
"I called her when I arrived, 'Let Lin Shuang play by herself! Don't look for me!' That's what she replied."
