Honkai Impact: The Dream Keeper

After Long Qiao seized the two insect-shaped instruments, it was midnight in the blink of an eye.

Long Qiao glanced at the time: 06:30:19, 0. But he didn't care at all and swaggered towards the restaurant. Just then, a red-haired woman kept glancing at her watch and looking up. When she saw Long Qiao, she quickly walked over.

"I remember we agreed to meet at 12 o'clock, right? So, what time is it now?" Himeko asked.

Long Qiao took out her phone again and glanced at 0:35:20.

"The time is now 11:95:30," Long Qiao said calmly.

Himeko simply smiled and watched Ryuki without saying a word.

"...I just got lost on my journey through life, and I'm a little late."

"Forget it, there's nothing I can talk about with a little rascal like you. Alright, let's get down to business," Himeko said.

“Whatever. I also have a name. My name is Long Qiao, Long as in Dragon King, and Qiao as in chance encounter.” Long Qiao shrugged and said.

"Okay, I'll go check the right side. I'll leave the investigation on the left to you." Himeko said, turning and walking to the right without looking back.

"Ugh, this is so troublesome. I woke up to find myself transported to 06. I really want to see Bronya back then. Oh well, Kabuto! Gatack! TheBee! Sasword! Drake! Come out here and give me some information."

Long Qiao summoned all five insect devices. After Long Qiao gave the order, the five little insects continued to explore to the right. The system granted Long Qiao the ability to share vision with the insect devices. At the same time, because the system was afraid that Long Qiao would do something reckless again, it also gave Long Qiao an ability similar to the Oz Insect Combo - clone. This clone skill can summon as many clones as there are belts, and each clone has its own independent consciousness.

Long Qiao walked casually down the dimly lit street, but in reality, she had already connected to the local area network of the five insect devices and was ready for battle.

Just as Long Qiao was moving toward the corner, she saw a weak and exhausted girl collapsed on the ground, panting heavily.

"Haah...haah..."

"Are you... alright?" Long Qiao squatted down and asked.

“Haa…haa…quick…haa…go…” came the girl’s broken voice.

"Why? Your current situation is not optimistic..." Long Qiao asked.

"Quickly... get away... ah... here..." the girl cried out again in anguish.

"Huh? I didn't hear you clearly."

The girl was too weak and in too much pain, so Long Qiao couldn't hear her clearly. So Long Qiao helped the girl up, but at that moment a sudden change occurred—the girl suddenly opened her crimson pupils, opened her mouth and bit down hard on Long Qiao's neck.

"Blood...blood...give me blood..." the girl cried out as she sucked Long Qiao's blood.

"Hmm? Are you sucking my blood? No wonder my body feels a little itchy..." Long Qiao said, glancing sideways, but did not make any move, letting the girl suck her blood.

"But speaking of which, doesn't this girl look a bit like Theresa? Is it just my imagination? And her tone of voice just now was similar too."

Long Qiao stroked her chin, deep in thought.

Just as Long Qiao was pondering, the girl finally stopped.

"Meow."

"what are you saying?"

Perhaps because the girl's body was too weak, her fangs only pierced Long Qiao's skin a little, and the girl lost consciousness completely while maintaining her biting posture.

"...Why does it feel like I'm being taken advantage of? Fine, I'll let you get some sleep. Be on guard!" Long Qiao gave the order again, and then five insect-shaped devices lurked around Long Qiao, alerting everything around them.

Long Qiao looked at the vampire in her arms, who was remarkably similar to Theresa, and thought to herself again.

"Lu Ziyang, you're lying to me! Who said vampires are all idiots? Who said vampires are ugly things?"

Just as Long Qiao yawned, the girl in his arms finally showed some reaction.

"Haah...haah..."

Long Qiao gazed at the girl quietly... then the next second, Long Qiao sighed and said.

"Ugh, I still can't ignore it."

Long Qiao took out a silver needle from her body and stuck it into her index finger, but... Long Qiao stared blankly at the half of the silver needle that had been flung away, her eyes revealing a hint of doubt. Long Qiao looked at the half of the silver needle that had flown to the ground with a face full of question marks.

"??? Huh???" Long Qiao stared blankly at her unharmed finger, her mind completely blank.

"Holy crap? It's so hard? Did I develop superhuman arms?"

Long Qiao refused to believe it, so she put her index finger on her teeth and bit down several times, but the skin didn't break. Long Qiao only felt that her index finger was like being bitten by a mosquito, without feeling anything.

"..."

Long Qiao finally managed to prick her finger and drip blood into the girl's mouth after a great deal of effort.

"Damn it! When did my body become so hard? I can even keep my own fingers from breaking, ouch... my teeth, Lu Ziyang, you son of a bitch!" Long Qiao covered her mouth and complained.

As the girl swallowed, her breathing finally calmed down. Long Qiao also withdrew her hand. Long Qiao wanted to check the wound on her finger, but found that it had completely healed and there was not even any blood left.

"...Awesome..."

"Is this all there is to it?" Long Qiao asked the girl, puzzled.

But the next second, Long Qiao's phone rang. Long Qiao calmly took out her phone and answered it.

"Hey! Who is it?"

"It's me, Himeko. I've finished my patrol and found nothing amiss. What about you?"

Long Qiao glanced at the girl who had been laid flat on the ground and then spoke.

"I haven't found anything unusual here either."

"Then let's go back to the meeting point."

"Row."

Long Qiao stood up and looked at the girl again.

"Next time we meet... I'll definitely get my revenge! Hahaha, who knows if there will even be a next time, bye-bye."

Long Qiao turned and left with a smile on her face.
