My outrageous life in Honkai Impact 3

Raven couldn't help but curse. She was completely helpless against the people behind her; she couldn't fight them, and she couldn't run away. For a brief moment, she even considered letting them catch her and then finding a chance to escape.

"Aren't you going to fight back?"

The jackal's voice sounded slightly urgent, not because he was worried about Raven's safety, but mainly because she had important experimental items on her.

"Are you pretending I didn't exist?!"

Raven gripped the box tightly, clearly annoyed by the jackal's words.

"You know that guy's background. When he gets serious, I can't break through his defenses at all."

"Don't worry, your backup is almost here, just a little longer..."

Before Raven could finish listening, she sensed a surge of Honkai energy behind her and hurriedly leaped forward.

"Didn't they catch them?"

Luo Chen withdrew Susanoo's arm, looking somewhat pleased. He hadn't expected to run into Raven on his first outing, especially since Raven was carrying a box that looked very important.

"Sir, I don't think we have any past grievances. I don't know why you're pursuing me."

Raven was panting heavily, feeling somewhat tired from the long escape, especially having to be constantly wary of Luo Chen's occasional attacks, keeping her mind on high alert.

“I don’t have any personal grudges against you, but I do have grudges against the organization behind you.”

Luo Chen maintained his smile, his eyes fixed unabashedly on the box in Raven's hand.

"How about this, Miss Raven, you give me the box you're holding, and I won't chase after you. How about that? Isn't that a good deal?"

"Please allow me to refuse; this is my salary."

Raven was right; she wouldn't have come to New Zealand for a mission if it weren't for the extra reward.

"Really? Then there's nothing we can do."

Luo Chen spread his hands, and several vines quickly climbed onto the buildings on both sides, attacking the direction of the raven.

"It's troublesome."

Raven threw a grenade, blowing off the nearest few, then turned and ran in the direction the jackal had indicated.

'Why haven't the raven reinforcements arrived yet? I need to go back and take care of Wendy.'

According to Luo Chen's plan, he intended to capture everyone after Raven's helpers arrived, and use the hostages and the black box as bargaining chips to exchange for intelligence.

"Could that box contain something related to the Stigmata Project?"

Luo Chen wanted to know what was in the box that could have attracted Raven, a high-ranking official, to come personally.

Walking through the alley, Luo Chen arrived at an abandoned open-air parking lot, overgrown with weeds and filled with wrecked vehicles. Luo Chen saw Raven running around in the parking lot, using the vehicles to conceal its tracks, trying to shake him off.

"There shouldn't be anyone around here, so I'll go for the big one."

Luo Chen entered the parking lot, constantly teleporting to close the distance between himself and Raven. Once they were close enough, Luo Chen summoned Susanoo and used his twin swords to overturn all the nearby wrecked cars.

The raven tumbled forward, dodging the oncoming vehicle, and looked at the crimson armor, cold sweat beading on its forehead.

"What kind of foul is that?!"

Raven realized she couldn't escape this time; the flaming creature opposite her looked like a dangerous threat. She could only hope the reinforcements the jackal had promised would arrive soon, or she'd be ready to collect her corpse.

"So, Miss Raven, would you like to consider my suggestion?"

Raven, his free hand hidden under his cloak, gripped the grenade tucked into his waistband as he considered his escape route.

"Mr. Luo Chen, aren't you going a bit too far with this?"

Hearing the familiar mechanical voice, Raven sighed with relief that they had finally arrived. Looking towards the source of the sound, Gray Serpent was leading several mechs toward them.

"Really? I don't think so."

Luo Chen transformed Susanoo into a skeletal form, crossed his arms, and looked at the gray snake.

Recalling what Yuno had told him a few days ago, Luo Chen's smile vanished, and he said in an icy tone, "It seems you're trying to steal my girlfriend."

"That's just providing Ms. Sato with a way to become stronger."

Gray Serpent walked to Raven's side, and the mechs surrounded the two of them, assuming a defensive stance to prevent Luo Chen from launching a sudden attack.

"Ah."

Flames erupted on the skeleton. Luo Chen planned to beat up the gray snake first, and consider other matters later.

"Mr. Luo Chen's relentless pursuit must not be solely for this reason."

"How do you know I'm not?"

Luo Chen retorted without holding back, now he just wanted to make Gray Snake understand what the consequences would be for trying to steal his partner.

“Mr. Luo Chen, I think we should talk about the information you need.”

"cut."

Upon hearing this, Luo Chen's flames on the skeleton vanished, and he waited for the gray snake to continue.

"This thing is more meaningful to Mr. Luo Chen than beating me up."

Gray Serpent took a folder out of his briefcase and handed it to the mecha beside him, instructing it to walk over to Luo Chen.

Luo Chen used Susanoo to take it, opened it, and glanced at it casually. He found that it contained the coordinates of several former civilization bases, which made him feel a little strange.

"Why did you give me this?"

Luo Chen carefully read through what the gray snake had given him. It contained not only the base's coordinates but also a detailed description of the base's layout.

"For no reason other than this, it's a great gift from the snake to you."

Grey Serpent bowed, ordered the mechs to step aside, and then stepped forward to toss a card to Luo Chen.

"These are the activation keys for these bases. I hope Mr. Luo Chen will accept them carefully."

Luo Chen caught the card, completely bewildered by the current situation, not understanding the meaning behind Gray Serpent's actions.

"This is all the Lord's intention. He hopes that I can recruit Mr. Luo Chen. That's why he sent these gifts."

"Kevin? Isn't he still in the Sea of ​​Quanta?"

Luo Chen wanted to ask more, but the mechs next to Gray Serpent fired smoke grenades, blocking Luo Chen's view.

When the smoke cleared, Gray Snake and Raven had already left, leaving Luo Chen alone in the parking lot.

Luo Chen looked at the card in his hand, silently put it into his pocket, and prepared to return to the branch.

In the distance, on a tall building, Gray Snake watched Luo Chen's retreating figure without saying a word, while Raven beside him felt rather bored.

"So what you just said is all true?"

Raven didn't believe Gray Serpent's words at all. Kevin was still in the Sea of ​​Quanta; how could he possibly contact him?

"Don't ask if you shouldn't ask."

The gray snake turned around, its mechanical voice revealing indifference, showing no intention of answering the raven's questions.

"Alright then, you can take the things back with you."

Raven handed the box to Gray Snake and said lazily, "I'm not going back to listen to Jackal's long-winded rant."

"Please feel free, your task is complete. The money has been transferred to your card."

"That's fine."

Chapter 101 The Shock of Emperor Wen

Back at the branch, Luo Chen first bought a large bag of snacks at a nearby store before returning to find Wendy.

Pushing open the door, Luo Chen saw Wendy sitting by the window reading a book. He put the bag on the table and greeted her.

"Wendy, I'm home."

"So early today?"

Wendy put down her book, noticed the snacks on the table, and asked Luo Chen. The past few days, Luo Chen had usually returned close to evening, but this time he came back just in the afternoon.

"The matter is finally finished, so I came back a little early."

Luo Chen went to the kitchen, tied on an apron, opened the refrigerator to look at the vegetables inside, and asked Wendy, "What do you want to eat for lunch?"

"Whatever, I can do it."

"Then I'll just make whatever."

Before long, the aroma of food wafted from the kitchen. Wendy put the books back on the shelf and pushed her wheelchair to the dining table to prepare the dishes.

Luo Chen placed the prepared dishes on the table, served Wendy rice, and sat down opposite her.

After spending a few days together, the two gradually became familiar with each other. In particular, after listening to Luo Chen tell his story, Wendy lowered her guard against him.

"By the way, Wendy, there's something I'd like to ask you."

After Luo Chen finished showing off the food in his bowl, he looked at Wendy, who was still eating, and said something.

"what is the problem?"

"Exactly, do you want to get back on your feet?"

Wendy hesitated for a second, staring wide-eyed at Luo Chen in disbelief, wondering if he was joking.

"You heard that right."
