Honkai Impact, please stop imagining it.

"Bang bang bang!"

The two embraced quietly until a knock on the door broke the silence of the room.

"what's up?"

himeko regained his usual captain's aura and asked in a deep voice.

"Himeko-sama, we...we heard the noise coming from here and came to inquire if anything has happened?"

The tense voices of military personnel could be heard from outside the door.

"It's all over now, you can go down."

himeko glanced at the mess around him and responded indifferently.

"Yes...himeko-sama."

After hearing Himeko's instructions, the military personnel left.

"Lin Yu, are you alright?"

himeko released Lin Yu, gently stroking his neck, a hint of heartache flashing in her beautiful eyes.

"It's okay, Himeko-nee, it's not your fault."

Lin Yu smiled slightly and said.

"I'm sorry, thank goodness you're here..."

himeko looked at Lin Yu apologetically.

"Uh……"

Lin Yu was taken aback. It sounded like an apology, but something still felt off.

"Hehe, it's good that you're alright. Luckily it was you, otherwise I might have been overpowered by her..."

himeko smiled gently.

"She can't suppress you yet, after all, you've never used her power, and your body won't accept it."

As long as Himeko doesn't use the power of the Herrscher of Flame, his body will reject this energy.

Therefore, the Herrscher of Flame can only lie dormant inside Himeko's body now, and cannot forcibly take over Himeko's body.

"She was probably in a hurry just now, which is why she tried her best to take over your consciousness and destroy me."

Lin Yu had already seen through the Herrscher of Flame's thoughts.

"Yes, we were indeed anxious."

himeko smiled too.

After having lunch in their room, Himeko headed to the town.

There are still many things to deal with after the area was hit by the Honkai Beasts.

Lin Yu, on the other hand, went to the biological research institute.

I'd like to know about the progress of the chimera experiment.

Along the way, he felt the strange looks from the people passing by in the research institute.

Lin Yu felt extremely regretful; he should have bought a mask first.

"Lin Yu, you're here!"

Klein's voice rang out from behind Lin Yu.

"Klein, good afternoon."

Lin Yu stiffened for a moment, then covered his mouth and greeted him.

"Good afternoon. By the way, Lin Yu, what's wrong? Why are you covering your mouth?"

Klein approached Lin Yu and looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"No, it's nothing. I've just been feeling a bit feverish lately, and my mouth is acting up a bit."

Lin Yu casually offered an explanation.

"Oh? Are you feeling hot? Let me take you to see a doctor."

Klein looked at Lin Yu with concern.

"It's alright, it'll be fine in a few days..."

"By the way, do you have a mask? Can I wear one?"

Lin Yu asked.

He didn't want to go looking for Mei and Mebius like that.

"A face mask? Hmm..."

Klein thought for a while.

"I don't have any on me, I need to go to the warehouse to get some, come with me."

As she spoke, she took Lin Yu's hand and walked towards the other side of the passage.

The two arrived at a storage warehouse.

"What's going on? Why are there no masks?"

Klein searched the warehouse for a long time and found everything, but he couldn't find any masks.

"..."

Lin Yu was speechless for a moment.

It's outrageous that a biological research institute wouldn't have masks.

"Ah! I found this! Lin Yu, do you think it will work?"

Klein's voice brought Lin Yu back to his senses, and he looked at Klein with surprise.

However, he almost fell to the ground soon after.

Klein was holding a gas mask.

"Since we really can't find any masks, we can only use this gas mask as a substitute. Do you think it's okay?"

Klein looked at Lin Yu awkwardly and said.

"Uh... if it really doesn't work out... I'll just give it a try..."

Lin Yu broke out in a cold sweat.

As Klein and Lin Yu walked through the research institute, they attracted even more attention.

Lin Yu felt strange gazes upon him, like thorns in his back, making him feel uneasy.

"Lin Yu...are you alright?"

Klein held Lin Yu's hand and, feeling the cold sweat on his palm, asked worriedly.

"No, it's okay..."

Lin Yu, wearing a huge gas mask, shook his head.

The two arrived at Möbius's laboratory.

Inside the laboratory, Mei and Möbius were arguing about the Chimera experiment project.

"Klein, why are you only arriving now?"

Mebius met with Klein and expressed his displeasure.

"Um...I am..."

Klein glanced at Lin Yu beside her, then lowered her head in grievance, stammering without offering any explanation.

"Huh? Who's that over there? A test subject? No, we just finished the experiment, there are no more experiments today."

Mei also turned around and looked at Lin Yu with a puzzled expression.

"It's me!"

Lin Yu's deep voice came from inside the gas mask.

"you……"

Mebius's eyes widened, as if he had already understood.

"...who?"

Then the second half of the sentence almost made Lin Yu fall to the ground.

"I am Lin Yu!"

Lin Yu shouted excitedly.

"Lin Yu? What are you doing? Why are you wearing a gas mask?"

Mei approached Lin Yu and looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"Lin Yu said he was feeling hot and bothered, so..."

Klein, who was standing to the side, explained on Lin Yu's behalf.

Lin Yu nodded, too lazy to speak, and simply let Klein speak for him.

"He's got a sore throat? He seemed fine yesterday... Could it be because he ate too much last night?"

Mebius asked, puzzled.

"No, why would someone with a sore throat wear a gas mask?"

Mei asked, puzzled.

"Because...because I couldn't find a mask, so...I had to wear a gas mask instead..."

Klein continued to explain.

Lin Yu, who was standing to the side, nodded again.

Why do I need a mask when I have a sore throat or fever?
