Honkai Impact, please stop imagining it.

Mebius wanted to explain.

Then there was another "smack!"

Lin Yu's hand landed on Mebius's buttocks.

"Ugh..."

Mebius gasped, his face turning as red as a ripe apple.

She seemed to realize that Lin Yu was really angry, and didn't dare to say anything more hurtful.

"Lin Yu, I...I was wrong...I won't do it again..."

Her voice carried a hint of pleading and sobbing.

"Wrong? Can an apology make up for destroyed files and records?"

As he spoke, Lin Yu raised his hand high, intending to bring it down again.

"Wait, wait a minute! Lin Yu, those files and records haven't been destroyed!"

Mebius could not bear such humiliation, even though every time Lin Yu landed on her buttocks, she felt not only pain but also a strange sensation.

This feeling is hard to describe, it seems to be a kind of...pleasure?

But this is outside after all. What if someone sees this? How would she save face as the director of the research institute?

Especially if Mei sees this, it could be used to mock her for the rest of her life.

Lin Yu stopped, a hint of a smile flashing in his eyes, which Mebius did not notice.

He deliberately got angry to show Mebius that if talking to him nicely didn't work, then he had to resort to some special methods.

"Where are the files and records kept?"

Watching Mebius escape from him, Lin Yu suppressed a laugh and asked.

"It's all written here..."

Mebius covered his buttocks with one hand and pointed to his head with the other, answering softly, his head lowered, not daring to look directly at Lin Yu.

It's like a child who has done something wrong.

Lin Yu knew that Mebius wouldn't destroy those precious data; he was just doing this to deter her from doing such a thing again.

"Well……"

Just as Lin Yu was feeling smug, he suddenly noticed that Mebius seemed a little off.

She lowered her head, her body trembling slightly, as if she had suffered a great injustice, and began to sob.

Seeing this, Lin Yu touched his nose somewhat awkwardly, realizing he had probably gone a bit too far this time.

But Mebius went a bit too far.

After all, such a big commotion had kept everyone at the research institute busy, and they were all worried that their research results would be ruined.

It would be a real shame not to teach her a lesson.

Despite the lesson, Lin Yu began to feel sorry for Mebius afterward, especially when he saw Mebius sobbing.

This was the first time he had ever seen someone as strong as Mebius shed tears.

Suddenly, Lin Yu remembered Möbius's childhood experiences.

At that time, she was beaten and scolded by her father every day, to the point that she couldn't bear it anymore and ran away from home.

This is also one of the reasons why they are committed to human trials.

“Mebius…I…”

Lin Yu wanted to apologize, but he didn't know how to say it.

His actions just now may have touched on Mebius's memories from that time, reminding her of that painful experience.

Mebius didn't speak, nor did she burst into tears; she simply sobbed quietly.

Lin Yu felt a pang of heartache. He walked up to Mebius and gently embraced her.

"I'm sorry, Mebius, I shouldn't have done that to you..."

He took a deep breath and said softly.

Mebius remained silent. She raised her hands and wrapped them around Lin Yu's waist, pressing her cheek against his chest.

The pitiful look she had just given off had vanished, replaced by a sly smile.

It's as if it's saying, "Hmph, try to mess with me!"

A wave of joy washed over her; her scheme had succeeded.

"whee……"

Whether intentionally or accidentally, Mebius suddenly let out a strange laugh.

Lin Yu seemed to realize something and quickly pushed her away.

"Oh, I didn't expect you to be waiting for me here!"

Seeing the smug smile on Mebius's face, he immediately understood.

It turned out that it was all a brilliant performance, and he was fooled!

"Hehe, Lin Yu, the transformation between hunter and prey often only takes a moment."

Her face was beaming with pride, proclaiming her victory.

This time, Lin Yu did not blame her.

She wasn't hurt by what happened before, and that was enough for Lin Yu, at least on the surface.

Lin Yu wrapped his arms around Mebius's waist and pulled her into his embrace once again.

"Lin Yu..."

Mebius was stunned by this sudden happiness.

She thought Lin Yu would be indignant and curse at her, or at least show some anger.

The two embraced in a corner of the research institute, ignoring the explosion that erupted again from the laboratory.

"Waaaaah... My experimental results..."

With a long face, Klein carried a bucket the size of a thumb and helped put out the fire along with the people around him.

Regardless of whether it was effective or not, the fire was eventually extinguished anyway.

She stared tearfully at the smoke-filled ruins before her, her eyes filled with despair.

"What's wrong, little Klein? Why are you crying here all by yourself?"

A pink figure appeared behind Klein, her smile as radiant as a flower, seemingly capable of healing all the world's pain.

Klein turned around pitifully, tilting her little head up to see who it was: "Ai, Sister Aili! You're here!"

I need to adjust the pace. It feels like the writing is getting heavier and heavier, so I'm taking a day off to adjust and lighten the pace. It's a bit strange, probably because it's been raining a lot lately, which has put me in a bad mood. Plus, I was writing two books at once recently, so I could only update one chapter a day, and there were quite a few typos. Luckily, my last book finished these past two days, so I have time to adjust the focus of this book to be more about everyday romance, and continue writing at least 10,000 words a day.

I've noticed that I get a lot of subscriptions for writing about everyday romance, and the people who skip to read these are mostly interested in love and relationships. So I'll just focus on writing about love and relationships from now on.

Chapter 77 First Encounter with Alicia

"Hi, Klein, it's been a long time! Did you miss me?"

Alicia smiled brightly, like a flower in bloom, and waved to Klein.

"Sister Aili~"

Seeing Alicia's kind smile, Klein buried her face in Alicia's arms and burst into tears.

"Goodness~ Klein, what's wrong with you?"

Alicia gently patted Klein's head and asked softly.

"My...my experimental data has all been destroyed!"

Klein sobbed and cried as she spoke.

"What happened? Was this place attacked by Honkai Beasts? How did it become like this?"

Alicia wiped Klein's tear-streaked cheeks.

"No, it wasn't a Honkai Beast, it was... it was the lab that caught fire, and then... and then it turned into this..."

Looking at the laboratory that had been reduced to ruins, Klein felt even more heartbroken about the experimental data she had studied for many years.

The crying, which had been barely stopped, broke out again in a loud sob.

"Okay, okay, don't cry, don't cry. How could the lab suddenly catch fire? Who did it?"

Alicia kept comforting Klein.

"I blew up the lab!"

Mebius’s confident voice came through, and anyone who didn’t know better would have thought she was taking credit.

"Alicia? What are you doing here?"

Mebius and Lin Yu happened to arrive as well, and she was somewhat surprised to see the pink-clad girl.

"I heard the Honkai energy here is unusually intense, so I came to check it out. Plus, a lot of my friends are here. I miss you all."

Alicia approached Mebius, intending to give her a big hug, but Mebius blocked her with a look of disgust.

"Fine, let's meet. Don't do this disgusting thing. I have no interest in women..."

She pushed Alicia away and said coldly.

"Sigh... How heartless, Möbius, they came all this way just to see you..."

Alicia clutched her chest, feigning sadness, as if she had suffered a great injustice.

"But... why did you blow up the lab? Möbius, this experimental data is all your hard work, isn't it? I don't think you would destroy the precious data that you cherish so much."

Her expression suddenly changed, and a smile returned to her lips.
