At this moment, Qin Yu helplessly spread his hands and sighed, "On my first day here, I just happened to be caught in the outbreak of the 'Eighth Honkai Impact'."

"The kind of meme attack that forcibly pulls your self-awareness into a 'dream' space and traps you as long as you think of certain words is practically impossible to defend against."

He smiled again, "But, it can be considered a stroke of luck amidst misfortune."

"After I fell into a coma, I was discovered early on by other people who had not yet been infected and came here."

“Everyone at the First Research Institute has taken good care of me. In the week since I woke up, Cangxuan and Danzhu have often helped me with my rehabilitation training.”

"They were the ones who found me unconscious back then... I must repay this life-saving kindness in the future."

At this point...

Can I ask you a question?

Alicia crossed her legs, propped her cheek on one hand, and asked curiously, "Since something like this happened before, why did you and Dr. Möbius still have a bit of a fight just now...?"

"Unpleasant?"

Qin Yu took over the conversation.

Then, he raised his hand and gently touched his forehead, saying helplessly, "Many years ago, some of my ancestors died in great pain because of some inhumane forced experiments."

"Therefore, I don't like her casually calling me 'guinea pig'."

"You could even say... I find it extremely repulsive."

At this moment, Qin Yu's expression was not good.

After hearing his explanation, Alicia understood.

Dr. Möbius was completely unaware that he was constantly dancing in a minefield.

She could understand Qin Yu's feelings.

Therefore, it was wise to abandon the idea of ​​trying to persuade the other party.

"It's getting late."

Qin Yu braced himself on the edge of the table and slowly stood up. "Let's call it a day for tonight."

"I just went out for a walk in the night wind, and I'm actually quite tired."

Upon hearing this…

"All right?"

Alicia also stood up, smiling slightly, "Then you should get some rest. I'm going to get some too... Haaah~"

She yawned and stretched as if no one else was around.

"Staying up late is a girl's worst enemy... See you tomorrow?"

"Okay, see you tomorrow!"

******

The next day, very early in the morning.

Qin Yu, who had spent most of the night alone in a lounge chair with his sleeves tucked in, was gently shaken awake.

He then realized that, without him noticing, a dark jade-colored plush thermal blanket had appeared on him.

Looking at the other party...

"..."

Good guy!

Those dark circles under my eyes are almost as bad as a panda's.

"Looks like you've been cultivating immortality again, Miss Klein."

"Ok?"

The other person nodded. "You mean all night?"

With her short, light green hair, she said in a dejected tone, "You always like to use some inexplicable adjectives."

"As long as you can understand the meaning, that's fine."

Qin Yu stood up and stretched his muscles.

His physical strength is slowly recovering.

Although not yet fully healthy, it has improved compared to yesterday.

Perhaps I should try going for a morning run.

"Yesterday you could only take short walks... and you've recovered so much in just one night?"

Qin Yu secretly wondered to himself.

But he didn't pay too much attention to it.

I just assumed it was because I went out last night, which improved my blood circulation... Anyway, there was some clue.

He then turned to look at the person in front of him.

In fact, Qin Yu and Klein had met a few times during this period.

He actually felt a bit sorry for this woman who was considered the number one hard worker in the First Research Institute.

After all, in the original future trajectory, she, whom Mebius called the 'Understanding One' with utmost sincerity and regret, would become one of the thousand Herrschers during the 'Tenth Honkai' outbreak. After successfully ambushing and killing the former, she would be completely devoured by Mebius, who triggered 'Serpent's Shedding'.

This is undoubtedly a tragedy that can be described as a cruel twist of fate.

but……

"If I had been involved, things would have turned out differently."

Looking at the long blanket in his hands, Qin Yu thought silently.

At that moment, however, he didn't notice...

Just around the corner of the corridor outside this lounge, another figure wearing a white coat was walking away.

Chapter Twelve Qin Yu: My health isn't very robust, so I'm best suited for ______

Today, Qin Yu no longer needs to use a wheelchair.

However, if he wants to stand for a long time, he still needs to use some support.

then……

Around nine o'clock that morning, he received a walking stick from the sisters Cangxuan and Danzhu for a fee.

It is said that this thing was a cosplay prop that Danzhu bought casually when he went to a comic convention.

It is also inlaid with a large, bright red artificial crystal on top.

Well, this is actually just a fancy Western fantasy magic scepter.

But it's almost entirely made of metal, so it could be used as a blunt weapon to smash someone's head.

In short, this walking stick is of very good quality and is very durable.

Since no other substitutes could be found within the First Research Institute, and Qin Yu did not intend to reveal his abilities to more people for the time being, nor did he want to use the long crutch that was tucked under his armpit, he decided to use it as a temporary substitute.

Speaking of which...

Currently, in terms of the original functional orientation of the entire First Research Institute, he is indeed a freeloader.

But at least for now, no one is thinking of kicking him out.

Even if it were true, I doubt Cangxuan, Danzhu... or even Alicia would agree.

As for the others...

"This is a temporary pass that Dr. Mebius asked me to give you."

A few hours ago, Klein came in a hurry, woke him up, and then left in a hurry.

Before she left, she gave Qin Yu a little gadget that he actually needed at this stage.

Let's go back to the present...

Qin Yu had already arrived alone in a private lounge that had just been assigned to him.

At this moment, he was lying on the only clean bed in the room, his left hand habitually behind his head, looking at the magnetic card with the strap attached to it in his right hand, and felt a little amused.

Because, at the time, Klein also said this:

"The doctor said that she already had enough bad reputation outside over the years and didn't want to be labeled as 'abusing patients' for no reason."

Regarding this statement...

"Heh~"

Qin Yu shook his head. "I forgot, this green snake spirit is a stubborn and arrogant person."

He silently complained to himself, then casually placed the temporary pass aside and closed his eyes again.

So much happened last night that he didn't get a chance to rest until very late, and he only managed to sleep for two or three hours before Klein woke him up.

It has to be said that Qin Yu's talent in terms of hard work is not as impressive as the latter's.

and so……

"Since I have nothing to do anyway, I might as well take a nap."

After the thought flashed through his mind... Qin Yu soon fell asleep.

Or rather, he entered the 'dream' space where he had previously intercepted the Twelve Golden Men halfway through.

******

It was evening, as the sun set behind the western mountains.

No one disturbed Qin Yu's rest all day.

Mebius and Dr. May were too busy to handle the project, as they were working together on the 'Eighth Divine Key'.

They even called over their experimental assistants, including Klein, Cangxuan, and Danzhu, to help.

Kevin, as always, remained at the scene, quietly playing the role of 'the school beauty's close bodyguard'.

As for Alicia...
