Honkai Impact, please stop imagining it.

"Huh? There's no reaction. Didn't Ellie say that touching it would be fine?"

But Alicia didn't tell him how to touch her.

"Uh...this is awkward..."

Lin Yu scratched his head, looking troubled.

"Ellie! Ellie!"

He tried calling out a few times, hoping to get Alicia's consciousness to manifest again, at least to tell him how to contact her.

Unfortunately, his voice calling for Alicia echoed throughout the castle, but Alicia never appeared, nor did she respond at all.

"What to do?"

Lin Yu looked utterly helpless; he couldn't think of any other way to contact Alicia.

Suddenly, a very bold idea popped into his head: why not... try kissing?

Lin Yu's eyes darted around. Since none of the other methods worked, this was the only option left.

He felt both excited and nervous.

Although it's just a statue, Alicia said that it represents her true self, the real Alicia, which means that the statue is Alicia.

Kissing this statue is the same as kissing Alicia, isn't it?

That makes sense, but still, he's just a statue in front of him.

No matter what, the feel is different.

"Ugh……"

Thinking of this, Lin Yu couldn't help but sigh.

Since I'm going to benefit anyway, I might as well take advantage of it.

Without any hesitation, he immediately leaned down and kissed Alicia's hand.

Just then, he felt the statue beneath him tremble slightly.

"it works?"

Lin Yu was still in shock and doubt.

A lingering coolness from the previous kiss reached my lips.

Suddenly, cracks began to appear on Alicia's statue, spreading rapidly in all directions like a spider web.

Pink light spilled out from between the cracks.

Seeing this, Lin Yu breathed a sigh of relief; he had finally succeeded.

If that doesn't work, he doesn't know what to do next.

He was about to jump, but then he thought about how he no longer had any special abilities, and wondered if he would fall to his death from a height of more than ten meters above the ground.

"Wait a minute! Even as a consciousness, I can die from a fall? I don't think so, right?"

He suddenly realized that he wasn't in reality, so there was no question of death.

As he hesitated, the cracks on the Alicia statue multiplied, eventually covering Alicia's entire body.

Within the crack, the pink light grew stronger, almost enveloping the entire statue.

"what!"

The next moment, Lin Yu was thrown away by the shattered fragments and fell downwards.

"Wait a minute! I haven't even thought about jumping yet!"

He shouted in a panic.

Although he knew he wouldn't die, he felt no different here than in reality; that is, he could fully feel the pain of falling to the ground.

Oh no! It's going to hurt so much!

Lin Yu's head was facing down, and the ground in his eyes kept magnifying.

He closed his eyes, his body bracing itself for intense pain.

"..."

He waited for a while, but the pain he had completely imagined never appeared.

He also discovered that his body had not continued to fall, but was now lying on a soft surface.

Wait, this soft touch...

Lin Yu subconsciously touched it, then he suddenly opened his eyes.

He was lying on a giant hand, Alicia's hand.

"Hmm, Lin Yu, you did it! You're amazing!"

Alicia's voice rang out, gentle yet approving, echoing through the castle like heavenly music.

Lin Yu stood up on Alicia's palm. He gazed at the enormous Alicia, who had been released from the statue.

Alicia is huge!

He couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

"Right? Isn't it big!"

Alicia held Lin Yu in her hands and smiled, her tone tinged with pride.

His thoughts did not escape Alicia's eyes.

"Should we leave here?"

Lin Yu seemed to sense something, and he found that his body was also beginning to become transparent.

"Yes, we will meet again in reality. This time, it's all thanks to you that my slumber was shortened."

Alicia nodded.

"Oh? Is it because you helped your true self awaken?"

Lin Yu's heart stirred, and he asked.

"Yes, because of the damage that Mebius's experimental agent caused to my body, it also caused the Honkai energy to activate its self-protection mechanism. If it weren't for your help this time, it would probably have taken me decades to wake up again."

Alicia explained with a smile.

"Decades? By then, we might not even know if humanity will still exist..."

Lin Yu gave a wry smile. But if it weren't for him, how would Alicia have woken up in the past?

Or perhaps, this time it's different from the pre-civilized world he knew before?

"Alright, Lin Yu, don't overthink it. All you need to know now is that you're my great benefactor."

Alicia smiled gently, her beautiful eyes softening as she gazed at Lin Yu.

The radiant smile, as beautiful as a flower, made Lin Yu pause for a moment, and a thought suddenly popped into his mind: I will protect this smile!

"Goodbye, see you in real life, Lin Yu..."

When Lin Yu came to his senses, Alicia's voice became muffled.

Everything before his eyes vanished, and his vision was plunged into a dark void.

Outside the Institute of Biology.

himeko, along with a large number of military personnel, surrounded the entire research institute.

At this point, the entire biological research institute had completely turned into a giant block of ice.

"Himeko-sama, what do we do now? Lin Yu and Alicia have been trapped inside for a day."

Mebius approached Himeko, who was gazing at the entire biological research institute.

himeko didn't speak. She quietly lit a cigarette, and after exhaling a few puffs, she asked, "Where's the demolition team? Have they arrived yet?"

Hua, who was behind Himeko, stepped forward and replied, "Teacher, the demolition team is ready."

Hua and Himeko have been here for a night. When Himeko first learned of Lin Yu's situation, he immediately mobilized most of the military personnel and sent them here.

When they arrived, the biological research institute was already empty; everyone except Lin Yu and Alicia had left.

himeko planned to blow up the frozen laboratory to bring Lin Yu and Alicia out.

However, Mebius stopped him, fearing that the explosives would harm the two people inside.

Moreover, before this, she had tried various explosives and blasting devices, but they had no effect on the ice that had frozen the laboratory.

If himeko wants to blow up the laboratory where Lin Yu is located, he must choose a more powerful detonator, which is what Mebius is worried about.

She was worried that Lin Yu and Alicia would be injured in the explosion, or that something else might happen to them.

Neither Lin Yu nor Alicia, Mebius and Mei wanted to see anything happen to either of them.

They are the hope of the moths drawn to the flame, and Alicia has successfully opened a new chapter in the Chimera experiment.

Chapter 89 A New Cancer—Pancreatic Cancer

Möbius didn't want to lose this perfect test subject.

If explosives are used forcibly, no one can guarantee that the people inside will be safe and sound.

The same applies to himeko.

She was also very worried about Lin Yu's situation inside. As for Alicia, she was alright, since she wasn't very familiar with this pink-clad girl who had come to the headquarters of the Fire Moth.

She wasn't so worried, but she was so concerned about Lin Yu that she even wanted to blow up the entire laboratory.

Fortunately, this plan was not used due to strong opposition from Mebius and Mei.

Hua didn't actually agree with Himeko's actions, but Himeko was her teacher after all, so even if she disagreed, she didn't dare to say no to her teacher.

Fortunately, Mebius and Mei stopped Himeko.

After a long night of waiting.

Those waiting outside saw that the entire biological research institute had been frozen in ice.
