I was transported to a broken world, yet my dreams are connected to Star Iron?

I transmigrated to the Honkai Impact 3rd world, yet my dreams connect to Star Iron? Author: The Herrscher of Cooking

Lingmo once said that if she could travel to a world in chaos, she would gladly die for a happy ending.

But she never expected that this willingness to die for a thousand lives wasn't just an adjective, but a fact.

After successfully traveling to the Honkai, Suzuma discovers that her ability allows her to switch to the Star Iron World whenever she loses consciousness, and that death guarantees a switch.

With such abilities, she'll surely thrive by exploiting information asymmetry, right?

however……

Day 1: Injected with a large amount of Honkai energy at the Tower of Babel, died. Switched to Star Iron, died instantly because of being in space.

Day 2: Same as above

Day 3: Lingmo, Lingmo, how could you be so passive? I've decided, today I'll knock Xilin unconscious and steal her experimental assignment.

Day 4: When I won the revival match, I found Xilin kneeling beside me, crying and begging me not to die. Now I've got my embarrassing moment, haha.

However, just as Lingmo was having a great time, she discovered that her system account had finally been credited, and along with it...

Not a buddy? The Black Tower picked me up from the Star Iron World?!

Chapter 1: Before transmigrating, he mocked Old Yang; after transmigrating, he surpassed Old Yang.

　"Beep beep, beep beep, beep—"

　"...Director, it seems that Subject Zero has died again."

　"Well, I see."

　A middle-aged man in a white lab coat glanced at the electrocardiogram, which had become a flat line, and said without looking up, "Let's throw her back in the cage. Based on our experience from the past few days, she'll probably be 'resurrected' by the time you get to the cage door."

　"This is really interesting. If it weren't for the fact that the professional equipment was still on its way, and I was afraid of accidentally killing this precious experimental subject, I would really like to dissect her right now and see what force keeps her alive like this..."

　"Don't worry, Director."

　The female researcher, wearing white gloves, deftly lifted the lifeless girl from the lab table onto a stretcher: "We've urged the Soviets many times before, and the equipment should arrive by the day after tomorrow at the latest."

　"So much the better."

　The director waved his hand, continuing to process the data in his hands while pondering about the pink-haired girl.

　This pink-haired animal was brought back to the Babylon Laboratory by field personnel a few days ago. Due to its good basic Honkai energy resistance, it was assigned to the Honkai energy adaptability test group as a supplement to the previous batch of mice that were almost all dead. It was numbered zero.

　As for her identity... hilarious. When have field agents ever cared about the identity of these guinea pigs? As long as they can contribute to the great cause of fighting the Honkai, it doesn't matter what the other party's identity is. As long as the Honkai can adapt, it's not a problem. Kidnapping, deception, pursuit, trading... there's always a method suitable for these young and ignorant girls.

　Interestingly, Zero seems particularly interested in his roommates. In just over ten days, he has already developed a deep bond with the experimental subject named Sirin, and even tried to take the Honkai energy injection for Sirin.

　It was this action that made him discover Zero's peculiarity—under the excessive injection of Honkai energy solvent, this girl, who looked to be only a teenager, had been clinically confirmed to have died at least five times, but each time she was able to regain her breath before being pushed into the incinerator.

　One or two times could be considered as a case of apparent death due to the body's protective mechanisms, but five times... even someone without any professional knowledge would probably be able to see the special nature of the girl. That's why he specifically purchased some powerful life support devices from the Soviet Union, intending to conduct further experiments on this unexpectedly obtained experimental subject to determine the extent of her resurrection ability.

　As for why he didn't directly request help from the headquarters of Destiny... although he wasn't a core high-ranking member of Destiny, he still had some understanding of Bishop Otto's unpredictable temper. Once such rare experimental material was discovered, it would probably be impossible to keep it in his hands.

　Therefore, before being discovered by Otto, he would definitely have to conduct some "radical" clinical experiments, just like the current Tower of Babel experiment project, to see if he could get anything out of it. After squeezing all the value out of the girl, if the test subject could still live, then he would hand her over to Destiny. In all his years at Destiny, he had done similar operations many times, so he was quite adept at it.

　"Let the test subject rest for a while before the equipment arrives... It's best to keep him in good physical condition so that we can conduct control experiments."

　"By the day after tomorrow... she won't be as relaxed as she is now."

　……

　On the other side, in a small room that resembled an iron cage.

　"Hmm...did I just die again? No, to be precise, I died twice..."

　As consciousness gradually returned, Lingmo's body trembled instantly, and she exhaled a breath of stale air.

　Today is the thirteenth day since she transmigrated. It is truly commendable that she has managed to maintain her spirit and not break down from repeated death and pain, even while doing "Yang-style sit-ups" at least once a day.

　For example, just now on the test platform, she was subjected to the corrosive effects of the Honkai energy solvent, lost consciousness in excruciating pain, and in the blink of an eye, she was in a pitch-black space. After maintaining "invincibility" for less than a second, she instantly exploded and died, staging a three-color space comedy in yellow, white and red that Honkai Impact 2's Lingyi Niang loves the most.

　There was no other way; by now, Lingmo had almost gotten used to the repeated deaths, after all, she had roughly figured out her abilities.

　As long as she loses consciousness, including sleeping, being in a coma, or being frozen, there is a chance that she will travel to another world. Death will make this probability 100%.

　After repeating the above steps in another world, she will travel back again. During this time, her body will not disappear and will regain its vitality the moment her consciousness returns.

　However, her luck was "slightly" bad. Not only was her spawn point in the Honkai world at the entrance of the Tower of Babel, but in the other world, she was practically cosplaying as Kars. Her spawn point was a pitch-black starry sky, but her body was that of a normal girl. As soon as the "protection time" was over, she would immediately turn into a space firework and explode on the spot.

　This has led to the fact that, although she has been to another world several times, she still doesn't understand what that other world is.

　"It seems like someone picked me up... Are we already at the dormitory entrance? I'd better not open my eyes yet, lest I be sent back to the lab to die again."

　Following the principle of taking every opportunity to slack off, Lingmo kept her eyes tightly closed, trying her best to maintain the same lying-dead posture as before.

　Immediately afterwards, the world spun around her, and Lingmo felt herself being thrown heavily onto a hard wooden bed. This group of researchers was like this; they never showed any mercy to beautiful young girls. Perhaps, to them, these children were just larger guinea pigs...

　Having grown accustomed to this routine, Lingmo still didn't open her eyes. Instead, she waited for the heavy sound of the iron gate closing before slightly moving her somewhat stiff body.

　“Lingmo…”

　A soft call came from beside her ear, and Lingmo opened her eyes slightly, meeting a pair of golden eyes filled with tears.

　Sirin, the second Herrscher in history, is now suffering alongside her in the Tower of Babel. The girl who shares her plight is kneeling beside her bed, carefully stroking the wounds on Suzumo's body.

　"What did they do to you again...? Why did you come back a little late today?"

　"Hiss...no, don't lick...it's so itchy..."

　She quickly stopped Sirin from licking her wounds like a kitten, and then said with some trouble, "It's probably because I've been injected with too much Honkai energy solvent recently, which has increased my Honkai energy resistance a little... I lasted a little longer on the lab table today."

　"Those bastards, they've hurt you again..."

　Celine's eyes were red, but she didn't say the rest of her words.

　"Don't worry, Sirin, I won't die. Didn't I win the revival matches perfectly the last few times?"

　Lingmo smiled and patted Xilin's head, saying, "I haven't forgotten how that little cutie cried her eyes out while clinging to me~"

　"But, but, I'm really scared..."

　In this situation, even the usually somewhat arrogant Celine couldn't maintain her composure. She buried her face in Lingmo's soft waist and said in a muffled voice, "Agatha said the same thing, Bella said the same thing, but they're both gone now..."

　"If only I had power, I could take Suzumo away from here, kill all those bastards, and avenge Bella and the others..."

　"I'm sorry, Suzumo, there's nothing I can do..."

　"When you say this password, it means you can do anything..." Lingmo thought optimistically.

　"It's alright, Sirin, things will always take a turn for the better."

　Lingmo gently smoothed the strands of hair behind Xilin's ear: "So, want to sleep together? Sorry, I might still be a little cold since I just revived..."

　"Then hold me tight, that way you won't be cold."

　Without hesitation, Xilin snuggled into Lingmo's arms.

　As laboratory mice, their survival conditions were simply "just being alive is enough, dying doesn't matter." Even though they were in Siberia, their rooms still lacked proper insulation, so huddling together for warmth was just one aspect of their daily routine.

　"Then let's get some sleep, Sirin..."

　Lingmo lowered her head and nuzzled the girl in her arms: "Don't worry, I won't leave."

　As the two whispered softly to each other, Lingmo, already exhausted from the experiment, drifted off to sleep again. Just as her consciousness completely sank into slumber...

　She opened her eyes in a pitch-black starry sky.

　However, this time, there was no longer only starlight in front of her, but also a purple older sister with a "pointed hat".

　Lingmo's mind suddenly went blank.

　"You are……"

　However, before Lingmo could ask a few more questions, the protection time for switching worlds ended instantly. Then, as if a balloon had been punctured, a large number of red, yellow, and colorless droplets, which had become round under the vacuum, suddenly splashed onto the bewildered Black Tower.

　"Clam?"

　Seeing the pink-haired girl "explode" in front of him, Daheita's mind went into a brief slump.

　Chapter 2 What does it mean that customer service representative Xiaoqi is serving me?

　Time goes back to a while ago.

　"...So, what exactly is that thing floating outside?"

　The big black tower looked at the instruments inside the spaceship with a bewildered expression, then at the pink-haired girl who was "drifting" outside.

　Common sense dictates that even a powerful traveler would struggle to navigate space without any protective gear.

　Judging from the radar scan results of the spaceship, the pink-haired girl floating outside probably wasn't wearing any protective gear other than the clothes she was wearing. Therefore, following normal logical thinking, Black Tower could easily conclude that this girl was a Destiny Traveler with considerable strength.

　In fact, he might very well be someone with a prosperous destiny.

　After all, aside from the physical recovery abilities of those "vegetative state" patients, no one would use the various radiations and extreme temperatures in the universe as ingredients for a bath.

　So here's the question: according to the scan results from another observation instrument on the spacecraft, this girl floating in space is just an ordinary person, no different from the ordinary humans on the Black Tower home planet.

　Now, Black Tower is facing a situation where either one of the two instruments in her spaceship is malfunctioning, or her common sense is flawed, or the pink-haired guy outside is the problem.

　Without even thinking, Black Tower controlled the spaceship to enter hover mode, then opened the hatch, ready to go out and take a look himself.

　This wasn't because she was arrogant. As an envoy of intelligence, there were indeed people in this universe who could kill her in an instant, but they were definitely not many. Moreover, before leaving the cabin, she specifically wore a pair of black lace gloves, which came with a small detection system developed by the Black Tower. As long as she could touch this pink-haired girl, the Black Tower could quickly eliminate one of the three possibilities.

　With this thought in mind, the black tower slowly floated towards Lingmo's body.

　"It looks like he's fallen into a coma... Shall we get a closer look?"

　Hei Ta moved the two closer together again, carefully examining Ling Mo's body.

　"Human race, pink hair, looks like he just finished puberty, height is just under 1.6 meters, weight and physical indicators are all normal... Strange, no matter how you look at it, he really does look like an ordinary human..."

　Black Tower frowned slightly. At this distance, even without a detector, she could clearly analyze the girl's physical condition. The thin layer of clothing was just as she had imagined, offering absolutely no protection in space.

　"How about... we take her back first?"

　Thinking of a similar pink-haired girl on the Star Train, Black Tower pondered for a moment, then prepared to reach out and pull the girl back to the spaceship.

　What if this guy is related to that March 7th? After all, their starting points are quite similar.

　However, at this moment...

　The girl in space suddenly opened her eyes.

　"You are……"

　"what?"

　Black Tower paused for a moment.

　When she reached out her hand, she had no idea that the girl was about to wake up. How could she suddenly come back to life?

　Moreover, Black Tower was certain that the moment the girl saw him, her eyes revealed undisguised joy, as if she had encountered a caravan of camels in a vast desert, and was overjoyed as if she had grasped a lifeline.

　Unfortunately, the girl's joy did not last long.

　Before she could finish speaking, time, which had been frozen within the girl's body, began to flow again, and then... she turned into a firework.

　Black Tower touched the red droplets that had splashed on his face, his expression turning somewhat grim.

　"Whose prank is this? Or is it some organization provoking me?"

　She was inexplicably angry. Although as a member of the Genius Club, Black Tower's value was vastly different from that of an ordinary person, as a certain "mutually guaranteed" android said, conscience occupied a considerable part of Black Tower's life. This could be seen from the fact that she saved her home planet from various apocalyptic crises nineteen times.

　The girl in front of her, though a complete stranger, had clearly regarded her as her savior just moments before... and then, without any warning, died right before her eyes.

　This is undoubtedly a provocation against her.

　Whoever dared to play such a joke on her with a life, they must pay the price.

　A magic wand appeared in Black Tower's hand. She planned to preserve a portion of the "girl's" body tissue to slowly investigate the clues later. After all, although she herself was not particularly skilled in biology, as a genius with a wide social circle, she knew a friend who had "some achievements" in the field of biology.

　however……

　But then another unexpected event occurred.

　Under the frozen gaze of the Black Tower, the "pile" of Lingmo just now quickly reassembled into its previous state before it exploded, as if to tell her, "Just pretend nothing happened."
