I am in the abyss of Collapse

Luo Lin shuddered, and the image of the huge snake boss on the 17th floor of the Paradise Pass naturally came to her mind, as well as the classic health bar with two lives and more than a dozen tubes.

The girl laughed dryly: "Well, can you let me fold a few formed seals?"

"Oh?" The green-haired scientist stared at the Valkyrie with her snake pupils. She showed a cruel smile, "Unfortunately, I'm not as good as you said, little guinea pig? Combat test - now, immediately, right away!"

Luo Lin had a bitter face. It was hard for her not to think that this was Sheshe's revenge against her. Could it be that calling Mebius a "good guy" was a particularly effective way to cause psychological harm?

The Valkyrie turned her gaze towards Velvet, and found that she was moving the machine out with her eyes shining, and she was busy shouting, "Wait a minute, Mebius, I'll add a protective cover to the detector!"

It seemed like Wei Erwei was the more excited one... Luo Lin was at a loss now.

No, in fact, there was another reinforcement on the way. The pink figure jumped out of the portal when Luo Lin needed her the most and waved to the Valkyrie:

"Hi, Xiao Luolin, I'm here! Miss me..."

"Ellie! Help me!"

Alicia, who just came in: "?"

"Dr. Mebius wants to test me in combat! There's no way I can beat him right now!"

"What on earth did you do?"

Miss Pink Fairy held her chin. She observed the stiff expression of Mobius and finally sighed helplessly: "Little Luo Lin, Mobius looks really angry. You should just obey her."

"Woo..."

Luo Lin was finally pulled to the side of the laboratory (just across a portal), and stood at the edge of the venue, surrounded by a large number of detection instruments covered with pale yellow shields, staring at Mebius on the other side.

Snake held out her hand, green arcs of electricity flowing between her fingers, the flash illuminating her face, making her look a lot more gloomy and dangerous.

Mobius did not activate the collapse state, but just planned to fight Luo Lin in human form, but compared to this, the Valkyrie actually wanted to fight the giant snake.

——At least I can rely on my experience in the game to know a few moves.

But facing Mobius in ordinary human form, Luo Lin was a little at a loss.

Based on the skills of [Infinite World-Devouring Serpent], Luo Lin could only analyze that Mebius was a range-output character who was good at using lightning damage. Like most of Fu Hua's character cards, he could tap the ultimate button and follow up with a normal attack to enhance output, and then babababa cycle until the opponent died.

As for the specific tricks...

Uh, the light pollution was too severe when [World-Devouring Serpent] was outputting. Luo Lin only remembered the screen full of green light and nothing else.

Oh, and when using the ultimate move, it will suddenly turn into a giant snake and shock other people in a range, and the damage seems to be quite high.

Just as Luo Lin was racking her brains to think about what other skills Mobius had, Snake, who was sitting on the hovercraft opposite her, asked impatiently: "What's wrong, little white mouse, aren't you going to take the initiative to attack?"

"Ah, this..."

[Twins on the Other Side] The confused, watery eyes looked at Mobius, and Xier's pitiful taste was fully reflected.

Alicia, Raven and Velvet stood next to the detector and watched the situation on the field through the protective shield.

"so cute!!"

Miss Pink Fairy held her face with both hands, with stars twinkling in her eyes.

Raven tugged at her collar, becoming anxious as the concentration of Honkai energy around her gradually increased.

Wei Liwei didn't feel anything about this. She was more concerned about the various data that were flowing across the instrument.

Finally, Luo Lin stopped hesitating, raised his sickle and charged towards Mebius.

Sheshe narrowed her eyes, her narrow pupils fixed on Luo Lin. She gently patted the jellyfish-shaped instrument she was sitting on - its official name was [Armament for Kevin·Model 244]. Just by looking at the name, you can tell who made it.

Although Mebius and Velvet are in competition in scientific research, Snake still recognizes and admires her skills in manufacturing instruments and equipment.

The next moment, a huge amount of Honkai energy was injected into [Model 244]. Its slender tentacles were wrapped in dark green materialized energy and extended downward, flying towards Luo Lin like a real snake, with terrifying lightning flashing on the sharp tip.

Luo Lin activated the ultimate move of [Twins on the Other Side] without hesitation. The dark quantum field spread, blocking the lightning tentacles outside. The collision of quantum and collapse caused a violent explosion in the venue, and the howling wind lifted Mobius' hair.

Then, the black-clothed and red-eyed [Twins of the Other Shore] rushed out from the hemispherical quantum field, and used their scarlet claws to slap away Mobius's "Lightning Whip".

But Mobius sneered and waved his hand, and with the same movement as the Herrscher of the Void, he condensed many sharp dark green short spears around Luo Lin and stabbed them towards her.

Fortunately, this move did not have the "time and space lock". Luo Lin used the same method to deal with the Herrscher of the Void, controlling the huge red claws to surround his body and dodge the attacks by slapping and hitting.

"Crack!"

Then she was attacked by the tentacles of [Model 244] that emerged from the soles of her feet. A strong electric current flowed through her calves and her whole body, giving Luo Lin a "chilled feeling and a thrilling heart".

You have tentacles, don't I?

The black and red tentacles of [The Twins] quickly pulled away the green arrow that was still discharging electricity, and a bunch of green and black tentacles entangled together, which looked a bit scary.

"hiss!"

Luo Lin only felt numb all over her body. After experiencing the baptism of huge lightning, her movements became noticeably slower.

Mebius should have pressed on to win and beat Luo Lin to the point where she couldn't get up again, but after two rounds of fighting, she frowned instead.

She asked, "Why, why don't you use all your strength?"

Where did you come from? Why do you keep saying things like "Why don't you try your best?"?

Luo Lin fended off the opponent's attack in a desperate attempt to survive the pincer attack of green lightning and [Model 244].

She finally realized that Mebius seemed to have mistaken her form with a large number of Elysian Seals as her normal combat power.

But now Luo Lin is just an ordinary single S [Twins on the Other Shore], and it is impossible for him to be compared with the five exclusive war gods!

In this brief moment of distraction, Mebius seized the opportunity. She raised one hand high, and a black cross flew out from somewhere, hitting Luo Lin with a terrifying electric light!

A circular shock wave burst out, enveloping the [Twins on the Other Shore]. The surrounding Honkai energy was boiling like never before, as if they were in a world made of lightning. Even the air exuded obvious hostility!

Then, Mebius pressed the top of [Model 244] hard. With a slight mechanical turning sound, a huge snake-shaped lightning struck Luo Lin, knocking her to the ground unable to move.

Luo Lin felt something wrapped around her arms and shoulders, lifting her up in the air. She tried to blink, and saw seven or eight snake-like shadows floating in front of her.

"…What's going on? Why are you so weak? Who gave you the courage to challenge me?"

Mobius grabbed Luo Lin's neck, his eyes full of anger: "So-called kindness and mercy can't change anything. In the battle against Honkai, the only thing you need is absolute strength! Show me your previous skills!"

"Ah, Mobius is so angry."

Wei Liwei continued to operate the instrument, speaking as if it was none of her business.

Raven covered his head: "Not surprising..."

Alicia covered her chest and murmured worriedly: "Little Luo Lin..."

"Ahem...are you going to kill me?" the Valkyrie asked with difficulty.

"…This is the Paradise of the Past, the world of spirits and memories. Simply killing you will be useless. At most, it will only give you a headache for a while."

Sheshe threw Luo Lin to the ground and looked down at her.

"Tell me, what is the difference between you before and now?"

Keep struggling!

Volume 270: More and more encounters: Chapter Chapter What exactly is the imprint?

"It's those engravings..."

The raven who was watching analyzed uncertainly: "After all, she was so powerful before when she was in the trial of the paradise... That absolutely abnormal trial gave her many marks..."

"Oh? Maybe you're right..."

Weiwei held her chin, thinking.

A few seconds later, Weiwei took the initiative to walk out of the protective shield and came to Luo Lin under the oppressive gaze of Mobius.

She also pulled out a strange syringe from her bosom—just like Vivi’s style, a thick syringe from the early days of medical development.

The metal syringe glowed coldly, and inside it was filled with a solution that glowed with a strange purple light. Just looking at it made one's arms or buttocks ache.

Wei Erwei decisively grabbed Luo Lin's arm, inserted the syringe with skillful technique, and pushed all the liquid into Luo Lin's body.

The cool feeling quickly spread from Luo Lin's heart. The girl's somewhat rapid breathing gradually calmed down, and her drowsy consciousness seemed to be blown by the breeze, gradually rising and waking up.

Luo Lin was even surprised to find that the pain had disappeared as if it were an illusion.

"This is……?"

"I gave you a shot of concentrated Houkai energy... Don't look at me like that. I don't intend to harm you."

Wei Erwei helped Luo Lin stand up and brushed the dust off her body (is there really dust in the paradise of the afterlife?).

Ying Jie of [Spiral] changed his tone and explained very calmly and professionally: "According to analysis, the [Hiroshima Twins] form has a high adaptability to Honkai energy. Under the stimulation of high concentrations of Honkai, it will have abnormal recovery ability... Direct injection of Honkai energy can speed up your recovery."

"……Thanks."

"Then please tell me, is your previous performance related to the [Mark] obtained in the 'Trial of the Paradise'?"

Luo Lin nodded: "Yes."

"Are those seals still in effect?"

"No."

Wei Wei smiled mysteriously and said slowly, "Then the question is, the [Mark] I remember will always exist after I obtain it?"

Luo Lin opened her mouth wide.

Seeing the Valkyrie's surprised look, Velvet turned around and shouted to Raven, "Miss Raven, you should have obtained the Mark of Gold from Eden, right? Can you show it to us?"

"Ok."

Raven moved his fingers and gathered materialized energy at his fingertips.

Weiwei took out a monocle-shaped detection instrument and nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, just like the people I have seen before who have received the power of the Eden Mark, the speed and quality of the Houkai energy are much stronger than ordinary people, and the explosive power has also improved... Of course, this brings up new questions..."

The girl with steampunk style turned her head and looked at Luo Lin who got up from the ground, and whispered: "What on earth did she get before?"

"You mean, that's not a seal?" Raven was stunned.

"Obviously, that's what we need to look into next."

Velvet glanced at Mebius and said, "Why are you still so fierce? Don't you want to see it together?"

"I don't...well, I guess."

Mebius changed her words decisively, because she knew that Vivi's emotional intelligence was very subtle and fluctuated greatly, so she would believe whatever you said.

Wei Erwei turned around and looked at Luo Lin, who was still in shock. She adjusted her monocle and said, "Wake up. We'll need your cooperation next."

“…I’m listening.”

The expert asked: "In your understanding, what exactly is an imprint?"

Luo Lin thought for a moment and answered cautiously: "It is... a kind of power that can greatly improve output, defense or other characteristics after meeting certain conditions..."

Velvet, Alicia, Raven, and Mebius looked at each other, and now the problem was obvious.

"Am I wrong?"

"Is it that powerful?" Raven couldn't help scratching his head.

The expert took Raven's arm and used her as an example to explain: "The [Gold] seal represents the control of Honkai energy, efficient accumulation, efficient deployment, and sustained combat - this is the help that the seal provides to Raven."

Then, Velvi stretched out her hand, and the mark representing [Spiral] appeared on her palm: "[Spiral] means making good use of instrumental weapons, the ability to operate Honkai energy equipment, the way of thinking to deal with complex situations, the inspiration and ingenuity of manufacturing equipment... all in all, just like me, I am versatile..."

There was obvious pride in her tone, but she soon became disappointed: "That's why there aren't many people who are compatible with my imprint... Not everyone has a flexible and open mind to endure all this."

"As for [Infinity]..."

Velvet turned her head away, and Mebius pursed his lips, very reluctantly showing the snake symbol, and replied: "It is evolution, survival, the pursuit of reversing life and death, and... will."

After saying that, they both looked towards Alicia.

The pink fairy blinked and took out her pink seal with a smile: "【True Self】... um, it is the power to trust yourself, trust everyone, and cherish the beauty of the world?"

"Tsk." "Tsk."

The two scientists turned their eyes in unison and made unhappy noises.

I'm so angry. Even though it feels like what Alicia said is nonsense, she has the bigger fist, so what she said is right.

"Do you realize it? [Imprint] is just a way of thinking, a memory, or... a skill."

"This technique may increase the power of your moves and improve your research life, but it will never improve your combat effectiveness as you have shown."

Wei Wei narrowed her eyes. “If there really were such useful powers, we would have promoted them in the last era.”
