Honkai Impact: The Dream Keeper

The group returned to the Hyperion. Einstein was talking with the others, while Long Qiao was yawning incessantly.

"Strange...why am I suddenly so sleepy? I haven't been staying up late lately...I can't hold on any longer..."

"I'll interrupt for a bit, I'm going to catch up on some sleep, you guys continue... Ha~" Long Qiao finished speaking and got up to walk towards her room.

"Uh... ok."

After arriving at her room, Long Qiao's body went limp, and she collapsed onto the bed, falling asleep almost instantly...

When Long Qiao opened her eyes again, she was kneeling on the ground, blood still flowing from her body.

"What... what's going on?" Long Qiao muttered to herself in bewilderment.

"Long Qiao! You traitor! Why did you betray us and go to the Honkai Beasts and Orphnochs?!" Qing Mo came up to Long Qiao and cursed angrily.

"Huh? You're... Yes, that's right, so what if I joined the Orphnoch faction?" Long Qiao was about to explain when his account was blocked.

"Why did you do this!" Men Mo shouted, grabbing Long Qiao's collar.

"Why? Because I feel you are beyond saving. Only Orphnoch and Honkai can save this world!" Long Qiao said maniacally.

Just as Long Qiao was about to say something more, Qing Mo and the others disappeared instantly, and finally Bronya and Mei came over and spoke.

"Long Qiao, you... have disappointed us so much..."

After saying that, the two disappeared again.

When the scene flashed again, Long Qiao was on a cliff face, with Qing Mo and other familiar faces in front of her. Behind them was a strangely shaped alien creature, while she herself was covered in blood and there was no one behind her. Long Qiao stood there quietly, holding her weapon.

"Even so, I am still... Kamen Rider Ryuu Takumi!"

The scene flashed again, and Long Qiao was pinned to the cliff face by various weapons. The scene flashed again, and the surrounding scenery suddenly turned silver.

"You... you saw it all, didn't you..." Long Qiao turned transparent and emerged from his own body, while his own body looked at Long Qiao and said.

"What's going on here...?"

"I don't have time to explain... Before long, you will encounter an alien who can alter the will of all humanity. He will leave you all alone. At that time, please remember our original intentions..."

After saying that, Long Qiao suddenly sat up in bed, her back drenched in sweat, the sheets soaked through. She gasped for breath, then rolled out of bed, walked to the windowsill, lit a cigarette, and started smoking.

"This dream...is it a nightmare? But it feels so real, like it could definitely happen. It's unbelievably real," Long Qiao muttered to herself.

"System, are you there?"

"I am here."

"Do you have any stronger trump cards?"

"have."

"Give me."

"……good."

The next second, two test tubes suddenly appeared in Long Qiao's hand, one red and one white.

"Wow! This needle is so big!?" Long Qiao exclaimed, looking at the test tube that was slightly smaller than her little finger.

"System, what are these two for?"

"Returning to the host, the red one is Xing Tian's Honkai Energy, which can greatly increase combat power after use, but the cost is that the host's body will be devoured by the Honkai Energy and die. The white one is Yinglong Orphnoch Factor, which can allow the host's Dragon Lord Orphnoch to evolve again after use, but the host's current physical condition will collapse."

"So both of these require risking your life? Hahahaha... I am Long Qiao, and I am not afraid of risking my life!" Long Qiao laughed loudly, then grabbed a towel from the side, wiped her sweat, and walked out of the room.

"Long Qiao? You're here?" Qing Mo asked.

"Yeah, I've slept enough... Huh? Where did this come from?" Long Qiao said, looking at the scenery outside the window, where some small fish were swimming by.

"We are at the bottom of the sea."

"Wow, it's actually quite pretty."

Just as Long Qiao and the others were watching, a strange-looking creature appeared in a dark corner of the underwater city of Haiyuan. It had no facial features and just watched the Hyperion fly overhead.

"Time... is almost up, Long Qiao... feel true despair..." The figure held his right hand to his chest, fiddled with it in the void a few times, and then left with a cold laugh.

"Hmm? Why do I feel like someone is watching me? Qingmo, can you feel it? Qingmo?" Long Qiao turned her head to look after not hearing Qingmo's reply, but Qingmo was staring at Long Qiao with bloodshot eyes.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Long Qiao asked.

After Long Qiao finished asking the question, Qing Mo did not answer but transformed into a Yongqi and attacked Long Qiao with a dagger. Long Qiao took out her Faiz blade to block the attack and then questioned her.

"Qingmo, are you fucking crazy?!" Long Qiao asked while blocking the attack.

"Wait... that dream! If that's the case... damn it..."

After Long Qiao deflected the Eternal Dagger, she rushed toward the exit, but just as she was about to reach the door, her body was suddenly bound by several golden chains, rendering her unable to move.

"This is! The oath of Judah!? Damn it..." Long Qiao cursed angrily.

"Long Qiao, why... why did you ally with the Honkai?! Why did you betray humanity, and... and you almost killed Major Himeko!!!" Bronya walked over and shouted angrily.

"Didn't Otto and Cocolia make all this stuff? What does it have to do with me! Fine, now everyone except me is game over, fake! Hey! I'll play along for a bit, I'm best at playing the villain."

"Why? Hahahaha... Because I've discovered that only Honkai can save the world. I can't see any hope in this world anymore, you know? Only Honkai! Only the Honkai God can save this world!!" Long Qiao said maniacally.

"But...but..."

“I don’t want to hear your nonsense, Kabuto! Gatack!” Long Qiao suddenly said in a cold, low voice.

After Long Qiao finished speaking, a red beetle and a blue stag beetle flew in from the void and quickly broke the chain spear of the Judah's Oath. Long Qiao then transformed into his Kabuto Knight form.

"Bye-bye~" Long Qiao's figure suddenly disappeared after activating the speed boost.

"Damn it, I almost caught him!"

Meanwhile, in a certain place in Haiyuan City, Long Qiao appeared again and whispered, "Don't let me find out who did it, or I'll drag you down with me even if it means my death!"

After saying that, Kabuto's eye patch lit up a little more before he turned and left.
