Honkai Impact, please stop imagining it.

One is an applied physics researcher, and the other is someone who uses guns to make physics disappear.

Speaking of which, when did Himeko say she was coming over?

If it's a short time, I can wait a bit longer. But if it's a long time, sitting on the stone bench in the hot sun will only make things more awkward, especially with people looking at me strangely.

Chapter 33 I support you

In the end, Lin Yu did not replay the communication with Himeko. He lay listlessly on the stone bench, basking in the sun.

If Lin Yu cared about other people's opinions, he wouldn't be Lin Yu. Scratching his stomach, Lin Yu pondered what information he would need to provide to join the Fire Moth.

Will my resume, which I've spent so much time at home and in the hospital, even be screened?

The issue of minors shouldn't be too big, after all, Hua is also a minor, so getting accepted by the Fire Chaser Academy shouldn't be difficult.

Lying on the stone bench, I fell asleep without realizing it.

No police came to chase them away, and a lazy day began with lying on the stone bench basking in the sun.

While Lin Yu was sound asleep, he felt a shadow cover his closed eyes.

Slightly puzzled, she rubbed her eyes and sat up. "Is lying down not allowed here? Sorry, I'm waiting for someone."

himeko nodded behind his back, like a leader who seemed to understand but not quite. "Waiting for whom?"

Lin Yu heard Himeko's voice, put down his hand that was rubbing his eyes, and turned his head.

Himeko, dressed in military uniform and accompanied by a pilot assistant, stood conspicuously in front of him.

"Wait for you."

himeko tossed Lin Yu a bottle of wheat juice. "So, my dear junior brother asked me to pick you up because you want to live with me from now on? My living expenses are quite high over there."

himeko joked, pulling Lin Yu up and heading towards the airport. No police officer dared to stop them, probably because heeko had already shown her military ID once.

Lin Yu: "Is ten million enough?"

"Huh? You still have that much money? You casually throw around a price of ten million?"

Lin Yu: "I only have ten million left."

himeko: "......."

She gently patted Lin Yu's shoulder and said, "If I were some kind of gold digger, I would have run off with your money in less than three days. Don't worry, it's free to stay at my place. Your parents raised me, so I'll take care of you. I promised your mother that if you live past sixteen, I'll support you until you're twenty-five."

"!!? My parents raised you?"

I've never heard of them having a daughter before.

“My parents and your parents were colleagues. Unfortunately, an accident happened while they were researching armor. Later, I followed your parents to learn physics. I was six years old that year. Then you were born. At first, everything was fine until you accidentally wandered into an area that your parents forbade outsiders to enter. Then you were sent away.”

Lin Yu: "...The altar, and there's a child who looks about three or four years old?"

himeko nodded knowingly and said reproachfully, "You even remember what happened that day, but you didn't recognize me when you saw me again in Canghai City. That's so hurtful, Yu."

Lin Yu felt a chill run down his spine. Himeko was already around thirty years old, and she was showing a reproachful expression in front of him, who was only a teenager. This was really...

"So do you know what's in that altar?"

himeko shook his head. "How would I know? But it might be related to aliens. I've never been inside. If you hadn't sneaked in that day, I wouldn't have known that place existed."

himeko helped Lin Yu into the fighter jet and seat him in the back, fastened his seatbelt and helmet, then sat in the front seat himself.

The pilots below watched in bewilderment as the fighter jet's canopy closed, and then the fighter jet took off.

He really wanted to shout to Himeko, "Captain, I haven't boarded the plane yet!"

But with only two positions available, it was clear that no spot was left for him.

"So that's when I got sick?"

himeko casually piloted the fighter jet. "Yes, it's an alien virus corrupted by Honkai energy. You were infected. The virus will accumulate in your body to a certain level, causing you to die instantly at the age of sixteen."

"As for why you were the only one infected, it's just speculation. That mutated virus only infects children and only spreads through direct contact."

“At that time, there was a physical examination for everyone in the research institute every year. There was still a week before the next examination. In order to prevent you from being found to be infected with the virus, your parents secretly had your body examined. After discovering that you had been infected by the virus, they sent you to Shenzhou and concealed this matter.”

Lin Yu: "The research institute will dissect me?"

himeko shook his head. "How could that be? You'll be the first person to successfully react to the altar, then you'll be locked up, isolated, and slowly studied. Believe me, you won't like that."

"Ugh."

Lin Yu sighed. The fighter jet wasn't flying very fast, probably because Himeko wanted to prevent any problems from happening to Lin Yu's body.

"After your parents passed away, I used their authority to join the Fire Moth. I am now a high-ranking member of the Fire Moth. After working in the research department for a year, I used your parents' connections to transfer me to the combat department. Your father once said, 'Whoever has a gun is your father.'"

"Five years. I spent five years bringing all the Firemoth warriors in Australia under my command. Your mother told me when she left Europe that I should come to find you after you turned sixteen. If you die before you turn sixteen, I will go and live the life I want."

"If you live past sixteen, she asked me to take care of you until you are twenty-five. That was the first and last time she asked me to do anything."

Lin Yu: "......."

himeko: "If you hadn't been sick, it would have been easy for you to join the Fire Moth and get to where I am now. You're almost half as strong as me now."

Lin Yu shook his head. "This is what you deserve. Don't worry about me too much. If I were you, I definitely wouldn't have reached your position."

"Just kidding. When I was sixteen, I was still thinking about when I could take a vacation to go shopping and play games, while you at sixteen were already able to walk from Canghai City to Changkong City with a sword in hand, and even rescue people from such a dangerous place as Changkong City."

This is even with your body extremely weak. Himeko can't imagine how strong Lin Yu would be if his body wasn't weak and he wasn't sick.

Suffering from Lin Yu disease and esophageal cancer, his body was so weak that he would be out of breath after walking just a few steps, yet he could still wield a sword to this extent.

himeko felt like she had stolen Lin Yu's life because she was the one who took care of Lin Yu on the day he came into contact with the altar at the age of three, and heeko was cooking milk for Lin Yu at the time and did not notice him leaving.

Chapter 34 is normal now~

If I had noticed Lin Yu leaving and stopped him, Lin Yu wouldn't have been infected with the virus and wouldn't have developed esophageal cancer, nor would he be so weak.

Without these debuffs hindering him, Himeko was absolutely confident that Lin Yu would do even better than him.

With several debuffs on him and without formal training, he had already reached half of his usual strength. Himeko couldn't even imagine how strong he would be without these debuffs.

Therefore, Himeko felt that she had plagiarized Lin Yu's life. Lin Yu's life should be a vast ocean of stars, a path lined with blooming flowers, as smooth as a level.

With his parents still alive and living a very happy life, he joined the Firemoth and displayed his talent in combat, quickly becoming one of the leaders of the Firemoth.

Instead of being like this now, all alone, with family ruined and everyone gone, and after the last aunt I knew, all that's left is myself, someone I don't even know well.

"What would you do if I didn't come to pick you up?"

himeko asked this question out of the blue.

Lin Yu thought for a moment, then shook his head. "Then you will lose the ten million I was about to transfer to you."

"So, would you be disappointed if we didn't talk about money?"

himeko continued to ask, explaining that she looked at Lin Yu's information every year and knew that he was a gloomy person who spent his time watching anime and playing games and was completely bad at communicating with people.

"will not."

himeko: "Huh?"

Lin Yu curled his lip and said confidently, "Isn't that a matter of course?"

“I’m sixteen years old now, I’m an adult. It’s all part of my plan for you not to come pick me up or even to hang up on me and ignore me. After all, my parents have only ever taught you.”

Lin Yu: "If my kindergarten teacher's child from over ten years ago came to me now and asked me to pick him up, I would immediately think he was crazy and hang up on him."

"To be honest, I was already very surprised that you were willing to send a helicopter. When you said you would come to pick me up in person, the disappointment I felt when I left Aunt Chun immediately disappeared. That's why I went along with it and hoped you would come."

"Without excessive expectations, there will be no extreme sadness. As long as you walk in the darkness, every reflection you encounter is a bright surprise in life."

Lin Yu: "My mother once taught me that a drop of kindness should be repaid with a spring of gratitude. I will work for you, whether it is Honkai Beasts or zombies. You don't need to tell me the quantity or quality, just tell me where they are."

Lin Yu held up one finger. Himeko turned to look at Lin Yu and saw the finger he had extended. "Would you help me even once?"

Lin Yu clenched his fist. "Every single time."

himeko: "There's another saying your father said that you probably didn't remember: 'The grudge of having your toe stepped on will be repaid a hundredfold.' You should memorize all the principles of life before you do. Besides... you're weaker than me."

Lin Yu: "I can learn."

himeko felt inexplicably sad. Lin Yu's slender arms, long fingers, and clenched fists—he was too thin, and... too pale, an unhealthy paleness, like someone who had lost too much blood, or someone who had been lying in a basement for years without ever coming out.

His crooked mouth, like that of the Dragon King, a son-in-law in a TV drama, made people laugh, but the light in his eyes made Himeko unable to laugh. A sadness welled up from the bottom of her heart and filled her heart.

The kind of "I will do my best" look in anyone's eyes gives others the feeling that this person has made up their mind.

himeko: "Before you learn to walk, you have to learn how to crawl. Bureaucracy is rampant in the Moth of Fire. You are not qualified to go to the front line to die. If you want to help me, then try to live until you are twenty-six years old. At that time, I will not care about you."

"But before that, you have only one task: to listen to me and let me take care of you."

"I am already sixteen years old."

Lin Yu said in a weak voice.

himeko turned his head and saw Lin Yu's expression, which was extremely calm but lacked righteousness.

himeko: "So?"

Lin Yu: "Although my parents raised you, and you may be grateful, we all have our own lives. You don't have to take care of me to repay my parents' kindness. We all live in this world for our own sake."

“I’m already sixteen. We can be friends, or even closer, like companions, but you will never be an elder in our close relationship, after all, you’re young too.”

himeko: "I'm almost thirty."

Lin Yu nodded and said "Oh," adding, "After all, you're not old."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yu exclaimed in surprise, "Wait, aren't you thirty years old yet?"

"When I was sixteen, you were three. I was thirteen years older than you. You are sixteen this year. How old do you think I am?"

"Twenty-nine..."

himeko nodded in satisfaction. "Don't worry, I won't try to control your life. I'm not that kind of person. You'll see when we get to Australia."

........

At the Australian branch of the Firemoth, Lin Yu stood at the door of Himeko's single dormitory for a long time without going in, his lips twitching.

himeko walked into the house, put the wine bottle that had been lying on the sofa on the floor. Don't ask why he didn't put it on the table, because the table was already full.

himeko waved to Lin Yu, "What are you standing there for? Come in."
